Douluo: The Glory of the Peerless Angel

Chapter 44 The Seven Monsters Challenge (Part 2)

"Anyone can challenge a Soul Master..."

Ling Bai rubbed his chin with his fingers, seemingly realizing something, and said, "Is the academy afraid that the Soul Masters won't be eliminated?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao beside her snorted coldly and said indifferently, "Don't forget, Shrek Academy is the number one 'Soul Master' academy on the continent! The Shrek Seven Devils can't do without others, except for Soul Masters!"

Ma Xiaotao emphasized the word "Soul Master," and even a fool could tell that she was strongly targeting the Soul Master.

Ling Bai revealed a meaningful smile. He was too lazy to analyze the pros and cons with Ma Xiaotao, which was a thankless task. Shrek Academy had never suffered enough losses. When they had two teeth knocked out by a soul tool, they would know the pain and naturally start to pay attention to the development of soul tools.

Does anyone have questions about the rules?

After explaining the rules of the Seven Monsters Challenge, Elder Xuan spoke loudly.

Everyone answered in unison, "No." Elder Xuan nodded in satisfaction; at least this year they all seemed to be intelligent people. He continued:

"The seven chosen heroes, please step forward and introduce yourselves in turn, so that the challengers can understand your martial spirit, soul power, and cultivation direction, making it easier for them to decide who to challenge in the future! Dai Yueheng, you're first!"

"Yes, Elder Xuan."

The student whose name was called by Elder Xuan was a tall, strong male student with a masculine appearance and rugged features. He had a pair of naturally sinister eyes and said in a deep voice, "Dai Yueheng, Martial Soul White Tiger, Level 61 Power Attack-type Soul Emperor, current captain of the Shrek Seven Devils. Welcome everyone to challenge him!"

In the end, those sinister eyes fixed on Ma Xiaotao, who stood opposite him with her arms crossed, and a fierce spark of battle seemed to ignite between them.

After Dai Yueheng, another male student stepped forward. He was not as strong as Dai Yueheng, but he was still tall and slender. He forced a smile on his face: "Chen Zifeng, Martial Soul: Soul Chasing Sword, Level 54 Power Attack Soul King."

Chen Zifeng forced a smile for a simple reason: among the Shrek Seven Devils, only he and Dai Yueheng were power-attack type soul masters. He believed that his strength was far inferior to Dai Yueheng's, while among the challengers, Ma Xiaotao was renowned, and her Evil Fire Phoenix was a top-tier power-attack type beast soul!

The inner courtyard active volcano not only represents a fiery temper, but also that once it erupts, it will destroy the world!

Considering the team's overall strength, Ma Xiaotao might not challenge Dai Yueheng, and would most likely have to choose between herself and the Soul Master. Chen Zifeng silently prayed in his heart:

Big sister, choose him, not me! Choose him, not me!

The third student was a female disciple. Unlike Dai and Chen, she was not particularly outstanding in appearance. She had neat short hair, an average figure and face, and was the type that would be hard to spot in a crowd.

"XiXi, a level 53 agility-attack type Soul King, with the Martial Soul Lightning Leopard."

With a simple introduction like Chen Zifeng's, Xixi drifted by like a leaf in the wind, leaving little impression and appearing surprisingly ordinary.

However, it was this ordinary person who caused Chu Qingtian, another agility-type soul master present, to have her palms constantly damp.

What is the role of an agility-based Soul Master?

Assassination!

Sneak attack!

Like an assassin lurking in the dark, a fatal blow to the back and throat!

Clearly, Xixi has grasped the essence of the agility-based attack style. Her ordinariness is her perfect camouflage. When she breaks through the disguise and reveals the fangs of the lightning leopard, her prey will surely be doomed!

After Xixi finished speaking, another female student stepped forward. Her indifferent and aloof temperament and her delicate and refined face contrasted sharply with Xixi, who was otherwise quite ordinary. Her skin was very white, and she seemed to walk without any weight.

"Ling Luochen, Martial Soul Ice Element, Level 52 Control-type Soul King."

She looked past the crowd and stared at Ling Bai, her pearly teeth unconsciously biting her red lips. Her eyes were very complex, a combination of shyness, anger, curiosity, fear and other emotions.

Ling Bai met his gaze, attempting to analyze the eyes that resembled a pie chart, but gave up after three seconds.

Sorry, I don't understand any of it!

The fifth person was a thin male student, no more than 1.6 meters tall. He was slender and short, and his appearance was far from handsome. He was more like a spitting image.

"Yao Haoxuan, Martial Soul: Heaven-Shaking Ape, Soul Power: Level 52, Dual Cultivation: Control and Support. Due to my rather unique situation, I've teamed up with this sissy next to me. Anyone hoping to secure two Seven Devils positions in one go, come and challenge us!"

Yao Haoxuan chuckled as he patted the handsome male student beside him.

"You bastard, who are you calling a sissy!"

The male student rolled his eyes at Yao Haoxuan, raised his pinky finger, and said in a soft voice:

"Gongyang Mo, Martial Soul Rainbow Dragon, Level 56 Support-type Soul King."

Ling Bai could already be described as handsome, while Gongyang Mo was almost effeminate. His voice was melodious and unpredictable, and everyone who heard it felt a chill run down their spines and goosebumps all over their bodies!

The last trainee slowly stepped out, tall and imposing like an iron tower supporting the sky. His pectoral muscles, resembling a double-door refrigerator, were exceptionally eye-catching. Incongruous with his physique was a small, exquisite object attached to his wrist.

Soul-guided device!

"Qian Fufu, Level 5 Soul Master."

His name itself carried a hint of humor, and Pan Tao, who had a low threshold for laughter, couldn't help but burst out laughing. Unlike Soul Masters who announced their Martial Soul and Soul Power, Qian Fufu only needed to state his Soul Master level.

hostility?

The Spider King's senses told Ling Bai that Qian Fufu seemed to be coming at him aggressively.

Are we... familiar?

Ling Bai, caught in the crossfire, felt utterly bewildered. He gently patted Ma Xiaotao's shoulder and said:

Do you know Qian Fufu?

Ma Xiaotao was taken aback: "Why are you suddenly asking him why?"

"We clicked."

I don't believe you for a second!

Ma Xiaotao suppressed the urge to criticize Ling Bai and said, "The adopted son of Qian Duoduo and Xian Lin'er, the two deans of the Soul Guidance Department; the top level five Soul Guidance Master in the Inner Academy; the top simp in the Inner Academy; and the person he's simping on is none other than the aloof Ling Luochen!"

Case solved!

Ling Bai recalled Qian Fufu's humble appearance yesterday, begging Ling Luochen to open the door. He probably found out from somewhere that he had defeated Ling Luochen in the Soul Arena and was preparing to become her protector to avenge her.

"Speaking of Shrek Academy, is there something wrong with its feng shui? It seems like it keeps producing sheep like Boiling Sheep..."

Ling Bai questioned this, saying that Qian Fufu and Xu Sanshi were the two biggest sycophants in the inner and outer courtyards!

Huo Yuhao was even more of a heavyweight; Tang San almost tortured him to death, and even after becoming a god, he still called him "father-in-law" all the time!

After introducing the seven chosen monsters, Elder Xuan took a swig of wine and drunkenly said to the challengers, "That's the situation. You can decide who you challenge in the end. The Seven Monsters Challenge will officially begin in six months at the Soul Arena."

After giving his instructions, Elder Xuan sauntered away from the Soul Arena, leaving only the seven main members and the seven challengers staring at each other in bewilderment. Dai Yueheng suddenly broke the silence:

"Fellow students, although the challenge is an individual competition, since you've all gathered at the Arena today, I propose a friendly team battle. What do you all think?"
