Douluo: The Glory of the Peerless Angel

A fragrant breeze wafted over them, and Meng Hongchen, dressed in a light blue dress, stood gracefully in front of the two men, looking at Ling Bai with excitement. However, when she saw that Ling Bai had come to the bar to flirt with Han Ruoruo, a look of annoyance flashed in her beautiful eyes.

Damn it, I was too late!

"Meng, why aren't you resting so late?"

Having been through countless battles, Ling Bai, already intimate with Han Ruoruo, continued to be intimate without showing the slightest panic in front of Meng Hongchen. He asked with a calm smile.

Meng Hongchen was a clever woman. Knowing that her love was unrequited, she had no right to interfere in Ling Bai's private life. Her mind raced, and she decided to temporarily ignore Han Ruoruo. She pouted her red lips and complained along with Ling Bai's words:

"My idiot brother drew your name, and he's been sighing and lamenting in his room ever since. I brought him downstairs for a drink to help him relax."

After saying that, she walked to the side and pulled out Xiao Hongchen, who had a bitter look on her face, from behind a pillar.

After the incident in Jialing City, Xiao Hongchen no longer regarded Ling Bai as his lifelong enemy, but instead thought he was worthy of being his brother-in-law. He plopped down on the sofa opposite Ling Bai, his resentment soaring, and said:

"Having drawn your names makes it impossible to concentrate on meditation!"

"Lack of confidence in advancing?"

"Isn't that obvious?" Xiao Hongchen said irritably. "Your Angelic Temple will definitely secure one spot, and our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy can only compete with the Holy Spirit Cult for second place. Those evil bastards from the Holy Spirit Cult... sigh!"

Xiao Hongchen sullenly downed a large glass of wine. The Holy Spirit Church was a scourge to other teams, but for Ling Bai, it was pure easy prey. Everyone at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy unanimously guessed that the Holy Spirit Church had abandoned its battle against the Angel Temple, aiming for second place to advance.

It's said that four major teams are vying for two spots, but in reality, there's no place for Shrek Academy in the Sun and Moon Eyes.

They are too weak.

Rather than crushing Shrek Academy's weaklings, Xiao Hongchen is more interested in competing with Tang Sect. After all, Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, Huo Yuhao, and others were members of the previous Shrek Academy reserve team, making them destined rivals.

"Brother, don't be nervous. Didn't Grandpa say that he will ask the Regent to warn the Holy Spirit Cult that they must not harm the members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy? Regardless of the outcome of the competition, we don't need to worry about being slaughtered by those evil soul masters."

Meng Hongchen comforted Xiao Hongchen, while pretending to be nonchalant and leaning against Ling Bai's left side. Her eyes met those of Han Ruoruo on the right, and sparks flew between them.

"You can also look on the bright side. The two teams that advance from the same group will definitely not meet again before the finals." Ling Bai chuckled. "If Angel Temple and Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy advance together, then our battle will be the final of the Soul Master Tournament."

Xiao Hongchen leaned back and said, "Logically, that's how it should be, but the Holy Spirit Cult..."

I've scouted their strength from afar, and there are two people I'm really unsure about..."

Ling Bai nodded slightly. Xiao Hongchen was referring to Blue Silver Saintess Tang Ya and Bone Dragon Yan Feng. In this timeline, Xiao Hongchen did not foolishly take the medicine, and his soul power had not broken through to the Soul Saint level. Therefore, his overall combat strength was inferior to the two evil Soul Saints, and his chances of emerging from the Sun and Moon realm were extremely low.

"Hey, how about we talk about it?"

Meng Hongchen suddenly craned his neck like a thief, looking left and right to make sure no one could hear their conversation, then lowered his voice and said:

"The Angel Temple will give the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy a match, so we can get all twelve points. Even if we lose to the Holy Spirit Church, we will likely advance by virtue of our point differential."

Han Ruoruo's pupils dilated in shock at Xiao Hongchen's expression, and Ling Bai was also taken aback: "This is blatant match-fixing!"

"No, no, no, this is a targeted operation." Meng Hongchen said righteously, "I don't know how the Empire got involved with the Holy Spirit Cult, but nobody likes those evil soul masters from the Holy Spirit Cult."

This year's Soul Master Competition was held in the Sun Moon Empire, and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy suffered a humiliating defeat in the group stage!

"How about we let you win? If you agree, I'll sacrifice myself for my country tonight..."

Meng Hongchen gently loosened one side of her skirt, revealing her smooth, white shoulder, vividly demonstrating how incredibly smooth her old shoulder was. She then gave Ling Bai a seductive wink, as if saying, "Your Majesty, come and play!"

"..."

Ling Bai clicked his tongue. The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy had qualified, avoiding the Angel Temple before the finals, but the price was Meng Hongchen's sacrifice...

Wow, that's killing two birds with one stone!

Not only did the academy successfully advance, but Meng Hongchen also managed to hook up with him as she had wished!

Xiao Hongchen slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "How come I didn't think of that? My little sister is so clever!"

As one of only two women present and having a close relationship with Ling Bai, Han Ruoruo looked at Meng Hongchen's big, bright eyes, and her expression subtly turned quite unfriendly.

Ling Bai sensed the sudden change in his senior sister's aura and understood immediately. He was surrounded by many beautiful women, but almost none of them harbored any hostility towards Han Ruoruo. Meng Hongchen had succeeded today, and the reason was simple and easy to understand.

A treacherous woman from the Sun and Moon Empire.

A war is about to break out on the continent. Ling Bai, Jianmu Douluo, and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School are important forces in the Douluo Three Kingdoms. Han Ruoruo feels that she has an obligation to help Ling Bai resist the seduction of the evil woman from the Sun and Moon Sect!

Just then, a waiter came in with a tray of glasses of pink liquor, each filled with ice, the liquor overflowing the ice. The waiter bowed and respectfully withdrew.

"I ordered the rosé wine to soothe my wounded heart. Please try it."

Xiao Hongchen picked up the glass in front of him and drank the wine, which had been chilled by ice, in one gulp.

Ling Bai took a sip, and the faint rose fragrance seemed to evaporate on its own as it slid down the wine, spreading throughout his body. A warm sensation spread from his stomach, giving him a feeling of comfort as if all the pores of his body were opening up. Xiao Hongchen's taste was indeed excellent.

The two boys were clinking glasses and chatting in a peaceful atmosphere, showing no sign that the two teams behind them were rivals who would compete for the title tomorrow.

Two women on the side stared at the drinks on the tray, their eyes meeting in unison. This wasn't a warm family moment, but a fierce confrontation.

Meng Hongchen moved to face Han Ruoruo, raised his wine cup, and offered a forced smile as he toasted her:

"After several months apart, Senior Han is even more charming than before."

"Since you've already graduated from Shrek Academy, I can't be considered your senior anymore." Han Ruoruo calmly countered the move. "If we're talking about style, it's all about youthful vigor and drive. If you like someone, just go for it."

Meng Hongchen's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. Han Ruoruo was clearly pointing out that she had disregarded all shame and offered herself up for the sake of advancing from the group stage. She said coldly:

"What's wrong with making bold choices? Only young people understand young people, and only young people can take care of young people. Those old people who are not from the same era can't grasp that ever-beating heart."

Upon hearing this, Ling Bai's lips twitched violently. On the surface, it was Meng Hongchen mocking Han Ruoruo, but little did he know that innocent people had been hurt. In the sea of ​​his mind, the cold wind was fierce and the snow was falling heavily. He seemed to hear the grinding of his teeth!

Han Ruoruo tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, her flushed face enhancing her mature charm, and said gently:

"Having experienced more, I understand how to cherish things more, and I will maintain a calm attitude to accept every strength and weakness of his."

Of course, none of that matters; what matters is that both parties like each other.

"Crunch!"

In her emotional state, Meng Hongchen nearly crushed the wine glass in her hand. No matter how eloquent she was, the ambiguous scene of Ling Bai and Han Ruoruo's lips touching was real; she had seen it with her own eyes.

Lip-to-lip friendship goes a step further than friendship.

Enraged, Meng Hongchen started drinking with Han Ruoruo. Ling Bai and Xiao Hongchen watched as they downed cup after cup, and in the blink of an eye, a tray of rose wine disappeared.

The waiter brought out more drinks, and the two beauties tacitly avoided using their soul power to neutralize the alcohol. Their alcohol tolerance was indeed impressive; there was no fluctuation of soul power in their bodies at all. They drank one glass after another in one go, and their two beautiful eyes were unusually bright, showing a tendency to become more and more sober as they drank.

"thump!"

An hour later, the battle came to an end, and Meng Hongchen lay unconscious on the table.

Soul Emperor VS Soul Douluo, Soul Emperor loses!

Han Ruoruo was also drunk, her delicate body leaning against Ling Bai's arm, her eyes glazed over, her whole body from her face to her neck, and then to a large area of ​​skin below her neck was an ambiguous pink.

"I'm taking Meng back with me." Xiao Hongchen carried Meng Hongchen on his back.

"I'll pretend I didn't hear Meng's suggestion," Ling Bai raised his hand to stop her. "The Angelic Temple won't do something like deliberately admitting defeat."

"I understand." Xiao Hongchen nodded. "Meng was anxious. I apologize to you on her behalf."

"But what I can do is kill every single one of the Holy Spirit Cult that dares to challenge the Angel Temple. It is the duty of the Angel race to annihilate the evil soul masters."

Ling Bai paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "Kill them all, and you'll naturally qualify."

"That's true, but those evil spirit masters shouldn't be foolish enough to fight a six-winged angel."

Xiao Hongchen jokingly said something, then carried his younger sister Meng Hongchen upstairs.

"Senior sister, let's go back too."

Ling Bai turned his head and suddenly found Han Ruoruo staring at his face with a serious expression.

"What are you looking at?"

"It's nothing, you're just quite pretty." Han Ruoruo smiled, pursing her red lips.

"Is your senior sister a sucker for good looks?"

Who wouldn't want their partner to be outstandingly good-looking?

As the alcohol took effect, Han Ruoruo's usual reserve vanished, and she boldly looked directly into those bright golden eyes that were so close, revealing her captivating charm.

She sensed the burning passion within him, leaned in and kissed Ling Bai deeply, but then swayed away as Ling Bai reached out his hand, leaving behind five clear words:

"Don't be smug!"

Ling Bai smiled and shook his head, not forcing Han Ruoruo, and simply escorted her safely into the Shrek Academy villa.

……

The next morning.

Ling Bai led the Angel Temple to fight against the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. What did it matter if he didn't use soul skills? With just Angel Domain, Angel Holy Sword, and soul bone skills, ordinary Soul Douluos were no match for him.

Seeing him go first, Meng Hongchen's eyes lit up, and she skipped and hopped onto the competition stage...

We admit defeat!

The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy decisively conceded defeat, realizing there was no need to fight the Soul Douluo head-on, and decided to fight the Holy Spirit Cult to the death.

As dusk fell, the first day of the first round of the group stage came to an end, and people returned to Mingdu City, discussing the day's exciting battles along the way.

The discussion wasn't just focused on the Continental Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament; it also touched on another competition that participants could enter and even benefit from—the Mingdu Soul Master Elite Tournament.

Organized jointly by the three major underground forces of Mingdu, with the strong support of the Sun Moon Empire's royal family, all Soul Masters under the age of thirty are welcome to participate.

The Mingdu Soul Master Elite Competition is ostensibly designed to promote the development of soul tools, and offers generous rewards, including large sums of money in each round, as well as extremely rare metals.

Soul Masters don't care about money. They can earn money by making Soul Tools, but they find it hard to resist the temptation of rare metals. Some rare metals cannot be bought with money, and some categories are strictly controlled by the royal family.

In the finals of the Soul Master Competition, each of the three major factions will send three Soul Master geniuses. The preliminary rounds serve as an opportunity to select talent, and the Xishui Alliance, one of the three major factions, is conducting open recruitment at the Qingse Hotel, located one kilometer from the Mingyue Hotel.

Tonight is the final round of six matches for the Xishui Alliance, and the winner will represent the Xishui Alliance against the Soul Masters from Linglong Pavilion and Aodu Chamber of Commerce.

The six Soul Masters were divided into pairs and had two hours to create Soul Guidance Devices on the spot. The types of devices were not limited, and the Xi Shui Alliance provided a variety of rare metals for the Soul Masters to choose from.

When time was up, the Soul Masters, armed with their newly crafted Soul Tools, fought their opponents. Regardless of life or death, the losers were eliminated, and the winners advanced.

The arena was magnificent, as if the entire place was decorated with gold. The audience clenched their fists excitedly as they watched the six people making soul tools in the center of the arena.

The competitions organized by underground forces inevitably involve gambling, and each of the six Soul Masters carries a huge stake.

In the No. 1 suspended VIP room, a well-proportioned waitress opened the door, and two figures sat down, overlooking the Soul Guidance Competition. Nangong Wan laughed loudly:

"Brother Death Prison, look, the two Soul Masters with badges number 96 and 98 are the personal disciples of the Third Brother, Ming Lei. The Third Brother values ​​them highly and even asked the Sect Leader to retrieve the List Carving Knife from the Holy Spirit Treasury."

Ling Bai looked up and saw that the two Soul Masters, Ninety-Six and Ninety-Eight, were skilled and rhythmic, fast but not chaotic.

The two men remained calm, their movements incredibly steady and precise. They didn't use any of the auxiliary tools on the soul tool making table; instead, they each took out a carving knife and began carving directly.

The two engraving knives, one crimson and one dark blue, are simple and grand, with mysterious reliefs, and their movements are dazzling.

The sixty-two engraving knives are Netherfire Crimson Dragon, and the fifty-nine engraving knives are Dark Azure Dragon.

The two carving knives were decent, but they were nowhere near the level of the Heavenly Moon carving knife that Ling Bai gave Ning Tian, ​​which was ranked second on the list and had three special effects.

The only drawback of the Moon in the Sky is that it was previously owned by the Sun and Moon Royal Family, so Ning Tian cannot use the soul tools made by the Moon in the Soul Master Competition to avoid causing trouble.

"Elder Minglei's disciples are certainly outstanding, and I think those two Soul Masters are also exceptional individuals."

Nangong Wan looked closely and saw that Ling Bai was pointing at two other people.

Number 66, Number 88.

He frowned and pondered for a moment before slowly uttering two names.

"Tang Si, Tang Wu..." (End of Chapter)
