Douluo: The Glory of the Peerless Angel

"boom--"

The Rainbow Cannon has seven effects, including dizziness, shock, and explosion. Ning Tian only released the Rainbow Dizziness, and was hit by the level 6 soul tool at point-blank range. The Speed ​​Dragon Soul King was knocked unconscious on the spot.

The Speed ​​Dragon Soul King's attempt to steal a chicken backfired, and the Heavenly Dragon Gate's defenses, which it had been struggling to maintain, collapsed instantly.

After being possessed by the evil phantom elephant, it swelled into a giant ball and crushed a Heavenly Dragon Gate Soul King under its buttocks with a crushing blow.

Nana transformed into a ghost, easily defeating her opponent. She then turned to help Nanmen Yun'er defeat her enemy. On the other side, Wu Feng unleashed his soul skill with great momentum. His fifth soul ring, which had been around for ten thousand years, shone brightly, causing the surrounding temperature to soar. A giant fire dragon, solidified into a tangible form, roared to the sky, its dragon might spreading far and wide.

Fire Dragon's Fifth Soul Skill: Dragon's Might!

At first, the three of them fought desperately to hold off Wu Feng, but now the Speed ​​Dragon Soul King was defeated in an instant. How could the remaining two Heavenly Dragon Gate Soul Kings withstand the Fire Dragon Soul Emperor's outburst?

The Dragon's Might exploded from the center of the three-person battle arena, and the terrifying wave of extreme fire expanded outwards for ten meters and lingered for a long time. Intense and scorching flames scattered in all directions. The two Soul Kings were blasted off the arena by the Dragon's Might, and the dragon scales attached to their bodies cracked inch by inch, leaving them covered in blood.

The elders of the Tianlong Sect quickly stepped forward to examine their disciples' injuries. After a thorough examination, they found that the injuries were only superficial, and that the meridians and internal organs were unharmed. They breathed a sigh of relief and cast a grateful glance at the dashing Wu Feng on the stage, clearly indicating that he had shown mercy.

With his teammates completely routed and swept out of the game by the Angelic Temple, Yu Tianlong knew that the fate of the Heavenly Dragon Sect was sealed and he was powerless to reverse it. He looked at the aloof Ling Qiuxi in front of him, rubbed his chest, where he felt waves of pain.

The six spirit rings rose up once again. Yu Tianlong was extremely proud; otherwise, he wouldn't have been so angry about Ling Bai's disappearance. He would have fought to the very end alone and never given up!

With a high-pitched roar, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex unleashed its Dragon Transformation technique to its limit, causing the Jade Heavenly Dragon's massive body to swell to over two and a half meters in height, its blue-purple scales rising up with distinct edges.

Ling Qiuxi narrowed her eyes, holding the Golden Dragon Spear in her palm. The remaining black lightning surged to the tip of the spear, and then she flung it aside. She saw Yu Tianlong's stubborn resistance and was about to break that stubborn bone with her own hands!

With a flash of golden light, Ling Qiuxi had already rushed to Yu Tianlong's side, her golden dragon spear sweeping across the air with immense power that could swallow mountains and rivers.

Yu Tianlong gritted his teeth and unleashed his soul power without reservation. Thunder roared, and a blue-purple dragon head emerged from behind him, its whiskers, eyes, and horns all lifelike.

Thunder Dragon Head!

"roar--"

A resounding dragon roar echoed throughout the arena. It was also a dragon head, but it was as magnificent as if it had been carved from gold!

Golden Dragon Head!

Ling Qiuxi touched the ground with her toes and charged forward. A golden dragon coiled around her body, carrying an unstoppable momentum as she pounced straight at Yu Tianlong!

"BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!"

The moment the two clashed, the arena was enveloped in a dazzling display of light, with intense golden and blue rays swirling around. There was the brilliance of a golden dragon, the thunder of a blue lightning tyrannosaurus, and powerful shockwaves. The soul-guided shield surrounding the arena emitted rings of light, making it impossible for the audience to even see the details of the arena.

An elemental storm erupted at the center of the collision, creating a bottomless, pitch-black crater in the ground.

Ling Qiuxi stood at the edge of the deep pit, her golden vertical pupils looking down. Yu Tianlong lay at the bottom of the pit, spitting out blood. The dragon scales on his right shoulder and right chest were rolled up, as if he had been fiercely bitten by a golden dragon.

Looking up at the sky, Yu Tianlong's eyes were filled with resentment, but this resentment could not change the fact of defeat.

Originally, he wanted to challenge Ling Bai, to have a contest with that monster who lived in the same era but far surpassed all his peers.

However, the Golden Dragon shattered Yu Tianlong's dream, telling him that there were many people stronger than him among the younger generation in Douluo Continent, and that he could find three in the Angel Temple alone.

As the team battle ended, the audience erupted in enthusiastic shouts. The audience, driven by their passion, hysterically chanted the names of the Angel Temple and their martial souls. At this moment, the voices of the Golden Dragon, Fire Dragon, and Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda were particularly loud.

The fact that they attracted so many fans is not only due to their outstanding talent, but also because the three women are incredibly beautiful.

Ling Qiuxi needs no introduction; her stunning beauty, inherited from Ling Bai, makes her the center of attention wherever she goes. Ning Tianwufeng, having consumed a divine herb and evolved his martial soul, has greatly enhanced his appearance and aura. The three women standing together form a beautiful sight.

Compared to the excited and frenzied audience, the rest area was completely silent. They looked at each other, their eyes filled with deep despair.

After three rounds of preliminary rounds, they finally witnessed the complete configuration of the Angel Temple.

Six-Winged Angel Soul Douluo, Golden Dragon Soul Emperor, Fire Dragon Soul Emperor, Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Emperor and Soul Mentor, Ghost Soul King, Pipi Elephant Soul King, Jade Green Bird Soul Master.

Strictly speaking, the team's weakness is the lack of a control-type Soul Master, but the title "Soul Douluo" is enough to make up for all shortcomings.

A dark cloud hung over all the teams, and they could not find a glimmer of hope for victory. It seemed that only the Tang Clan had any dreams at all.

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er firmly believed that a reasonable combination of tactics and unexpected martial soul fusion skills would definitely be able to defeat the Great Demon King Ling Bai.

After the knockout stage ended, the draw ceremony for the group stage of the top 32 was held. Angel Temple had a later appearance order in the third round, and the draw officially began shortly afterward.

The group stage rules are not as straightforward as the knockout stage. The 32 teams are divided into four groups of eight teams each, and each team plays a round-robin tournament. Each team must play against the other seven teams in its group once.

The competition format remains the same: a points-based system consisting of individual and team events. The top two teams with the highest scores will advance to the final stage.

Under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of people, thirty-two team representatives stepped into the competition venue.

The Angelic Temple is where Ling Qiuxi makes her appearance; she is determined to shake off the title of "unlucky little golden dragon" that Ling Bai has given her.

Senior Brother Bei Bei was seriously injured, so the Tang Sect sent Wang Dong'er. Presumably, she and Ling Qiuxi were incompatible from a birth chart. Their beautiful eyes, one pink and blue, the other bright gold, instantly glared at each other without flinching. The others quietly moved aside; the tension between the two stunning beauties was palpable even to outsiders.

Shrek Academy is under the control of Dai Huabin, the White Tiger Soul King. The Body Sect is still pretending to be dead under the guise of the Snow Demon Sect, and the Snow Demon Sect's young sect master, Mu Xue, has taken the stage.

The Holy Spirit Cult Soul Master Competition is disguised as the Holy Spirit Sect. Bone Dragon Soul Saint Word Wind represents the draw, while Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is undoubtedly represented by Captain Xiao Hongchen, who seems very confident about the draw battle.

In the Shrek Academy rest area, Cao Jinxuan and Zhou Sichen clasped their hands together in sincere prayer:

"May the Sea God Ancestor protect us, and may Shrek Academy not draw the Angel Temple, Tang Sect, Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Holy Spirit Cult..."

The team representatives took their positions, and Zheng Zhan, the Unbreakable Douluo, spoke: "It is a pleasure to see you young talents. The round-robin tournament for the top 32 will begin tomorrow. I hope you can uphold the principle of 'friendship first, competition second' and complete this competition."

I will throw out thirty-two identical white balls shortly. You will compete for them using your own abilities. You may attack during the process, but you are not allowed to use soul skills. Once you get a white ball, no one else can try to take it.

Inside the white ball is a smaller ball, with four colors: yellow, purple, black, and red, representing the four groups. The same number indicates the opponent in the first round of the group stage. Ready?

"Ready."

The thirty-two representatives nodded.

"Attention!"

Zheng Zhan gave a reminder, and immediately afterward, thirty-two clusters of white light rose into the sky simultaneously.

Representatives from all the major teams were already poised to act. As soon as Zheng Zhan made his move, they released their martial spirits and soared into the air, rushing towards the white sphere in the sky at top speed.

The battles in the sky were incredibly exciting, and under the rules that allowed attacks, it was a true test of grudges and revenge.

The Golden Dragon Goddess of Light Butterfly completely ignored the white ball. Ling Qiuxi and Wang Dong'er were fighting. After the Golden Dragon was amplified by the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum and became even more powerful, the Goddess of Light Butterfly was instantly at a disadvantage. The Tang Clan members were worried for Wang Dong'er.

Like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each displaying their unique abilities, this highly anticipated draw was the best opportunity to showcase individual skills. Every team representative exerted their utmost effort, trying their best to maneuver and dodge in the air!

Since it was an aerial battle, Soul Masters with the ability to fly naturally had an advantage. Xiao Hongchen and Gu Long Yanfeng ranked first and second, relying on their excellent Soul Guidance Devices and cultivation levels.

Xiao Hongchen gripped the small white ball tightly, his face beaming with an irrepressible smile.

Seeing that all the team representatives had grabbed the white ball, Ling Qiuxi kicked Wang Dong'er away, then easily reached out and caught a white ball.

Breaking open the white ball revealed a small, blood-red ball with a straight "1" written on it. Yellow, purple, black, and red, Angel Temple is in the red group, and in the first round they will play against another team that drew the number one spot in the red group.

Wang Dong'er put on a veil to cover her swollen cheeks and held the Yellow Group No. 3 ball in her hand. Tang Men's hearts were relieved. No one wanted to encounter the Angel Temple too soon.

Bone Dragon Yan Feng saw the number on the small ball in his hand and gradually lost control of his expression, saying in a sinister tone:

"Red Team... Number Two!"

The Holy Spirit Cult and the Angelic Temple were drawn together, and the Evil Soul Master drew a six-winged angel. What's the difference between this and a mouse meeting a cat? There couldn't be a worse draw!

Xue Mozong Muxue drew the Black Group, and Dai Huabin, representing Shrek Academy, looked at the red ball number four with a face as black as the bottom of a pot.

The Red Team has gained another team: Shrek Academy!

This time, the Tang Clan members all covered their faces and sighed in regret.

The good news is that they avoided the two monster-level teams, Angelic Temple and Holy Spirit Cult.

Bad news! Shrek Academy has run into trouble!

How are we supposed to fight this? We're just letting Dai Huabin lead a bunch of Soul Masters to their doom!?

Team representatives explained the draw results one by one, and when they heard that two teams had the same draw, the audience would always gasp in surprise.

As the draw results were announced one after another, the audience, mostly local residents of Sun Moon, suddenly remembered something: which group had our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy been assigned to?

Ling Qiuxi was waiting for the lucky person to announce the number one in the red group, but no one came.

Angel Temple, Holy Spirit Cult, and Shrek Academy were grouped together. They loved watching the fun and laughed heartily.

With two fewer competitors and their old rival Shrek Academy's qualification in doubt, could there be a more gratifying draw for Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy?

As he was laughing, Xiao Hongchen suddenly stopped laughing, because all the team representatives had announced their draw positions, leaving only him. The other groups were already full, and only the Red Group was missing one spot!

Trembling, Xiao Hongchen opened the white ball and saw the bright red ball number one. Suddenly, his mind went blank, a small bolt of lightning struck from behind, and a gust of north wind blew in from the sky.

Angel Temple, Holy Spirit Cult, Shrek Academy, Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy!

The two top academies that have dominated the championship for thousands of years, the Angelic Temple, the undisputed number one seed to win this year's competition, and the Holy Spirit Cult, which has been crushing all the way with bloodshed...

Four teams, two qualifying spots!

The group of death has been formed!

The lottery results caused a huge uproar. Now no one suspected that the Sun Moon Empire had rigged the lottery. Who would throw their precious child into a wolf's den?

Back at the Mingyue Hotel, Ling Qiuxi silently contemplated life.

This shouldn't be happening. The Emperor Beast is blessed by the fate of the Soul Beast clan and has always been incredibly lucky. How come it suddenly stopped working once it entered the human world...?

Ling Bai returned to Mingyue Hotel in the evening. He was indifferent to the group assignments, saying it didn't matter who he played against, it was just a matter of order.

Having not spent time alone with Han Ruoruo for a while, Ling Bai went to the top-floor villa where Shrek was staying and invited her to have a drink in the bar on the first floor of the Mingyue Hotel.

The two sat facing each other on the soft sofa in the bar, each ordering a brightly colored glass of wine. Han Ruoruo, propping her delicate profile up with her hand, smiled and said:

"Angel Temple and Shrek Academy are now rivals. I'm the teacher leading the Shrek team, and I strongly condemn your pre-match collusion."

"A traitor is an enemy, but my senior sister is not an enemy."

Ling Bai chuckled and clinked glasses with Han Ruoruo.

Han Ruoruo's dark eyes curved into crescent moons as she smiled, captivatingly beautiful in the dim lighting of the bar. She downed her drink in one gulp and sighed:

"This time, facing the three of you teams, Shrek Academy's eternal glory is about to be ruined."

"Does Senior Sister care about Shrek Academy's eternal glory?"

"Having stayed here for so many years, there must be some emotional attachments. I hope the academy won't end up in a desolate state." Han Ruoruo's eyes were misty. "In the Soul Master Competition, strength is paramount. Only the strong deserve to win the championship. There's nothing we can do if Shrek Academy is not as skilled as others."

We can't let your Angel Temple deliberately throw the game, that would be too shameless. Besides, after advancing from the group stage, there are still three rounds of matches to go. How can Shrek Academy win in the quarterfinals?

"By cheating?"

The two exchanged a smile, but their smiles held different meanings. Han Ruoruo's smile was joking; she didn't believe anyone could be so audacious in front of tens of thousands of people. Ling Bai's smile, however, was more meaningful; cheating was something else entirely…

It's hard to say!

After drinking for another half hour, Ling Bai slowly sat down opposite her, putting his arm around Han Ruoruo's slender and supple waist. Han Ruoruo was already slightly tipsy, her pretty face flushed, and her breath sweet as orchids.

"The moonlight outside the window is enchanting, and inside the room, the curtains are drawn and you are covered with a blanket. I won't disturb your beautiful night any longer."

She slapped away Ling Bai's burning hot hand from her waist and got up to leave.

"That won't do." Ling Bai pulled Han Ruoruo back.

"Why are you trying to force Senior Sister to stay?" Han Ruoruo tilted her head and asked. Ling Bai smiled without saying a word, his golden eyes fixed on her bright red lips.

Han Ruoruo gave a soft hum, instantly understanding Ling Bai's meaning. It wasn't the first time the two had kissed, so Han Ruoruo wasn't too shy.

Two faces drew closer, and just as their lips touched, a figure suddenly rushed out from the side, accompanied by a joyful cry:

"Ling Bai, I've finally found you."

Dream of the mortal world!
