Douluo Continent: The Myriad Body of Truth and Falsehood

Chapter 62 The Grand Competition (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Inside the arena, the battle was raging. Because the junior group generally didn't have many spirit rings, with a maximum of three, and it was a one-on-one individual competition, the arena had fewer restrictions.

The arena, each 30 meters long and wide, is filled with a dazzling array of martial spirits, soul skills, and special effects. A dedicated soul-guiding shield surrounds the arena to prevent the power of soul skills from leaking out and injuring the audience.

Bai Xu remained calm in the face of such a scene. He didn't particularly like lively atmospheres, and his emotions weren't high. He swept everything away with his powerful foundation and martial spirit. His opponents in the first, second, and third rounds were no match for him and were defeated in an instant.

He thus progressed through the competition stages, eventually reaching the fourth round.

The opponent appeared, tall and dark-skinned, with an old-looking face, not like a teenager. He exuded a gloomy and dark aura and stared at Bai Xu with disgust.

"The rules of the match remain the same. Use any means necessary to attack your opponent without hesitation. We will intervene as appropriate. The match begins!"

As the referee announced the end, the boy's body suddenly sprouted jet-black scales, his golden eyes turned into vertical pupils, his beast spirit manifested, and his heavy dragon tail appeared and landed on the ground with a thud, raising a little dust.

"It really is the era of the Dragon King~ All kinds of dragon races are starting to revive." Bai Xu thought to himself, and also activated his martial soul. Green flames covered his body, and the special effects were even cooler than the Dark Dragon Clan's martial soul.

"Ah! Darkness is creeping in!"

The sudden burst of a sharp tone, incongruous with his tall stature, startled Bai Xu, leaving him stunned on the spot.

The young man took the initiative, a spirit manifested on his shoulder, the third purple spirit ring flashed, and he exhaled endless black smoke from his mouth. The black mist rolled in, seemingly a domain-type spirit skill.

As the black mist billowed, the opponent laughed heartily: "This soul skill is the Dark Domain. Once dragged into the darkness, a soul master will lose all five senses, and even their spiritual power will be unable to extend more than two meters around them. You're doomed!"

But then, the green burst through the black mist and attacked straight at the boy with such speed that he couldn't defend against it.

"So fast!"

The boy was horrified. He was about to raise his dragon-transformed right arm to defend himself when Bai Xu's elbow strike was already upon his face. Although Black Scale had a high level of defense, he couldn't withstand the elbow strike. His face contorted in pain, and he flew backward, collapsing into a deep sleep.

"Your defeat was due to being too verbose and revealing your soul skill," Bai Xu explained to him.

boom!

The boy was elbowed off the field, resulting in a disappointing defeat.

The referee announced, "Bai Xu advances!"

Off the field, Bai Xu didn't even expend much soul power, feeling extremely relaxed.

"Wow~ Bai Xu, you're amazing! With you in the team competition this afternoon, we're sure to win!" Xu Xiaoyan exclaimed in surprise.

Bai Xu smiled slightly, walked side by side with Xu Xiaoyan, and asked, "Where are the others?"

"They're not done yet, are they?" Xu Xiaoyan didn't know either.

"Has the information for the team competition been released?"

"Yes! The Dean of Students is waiting at the hotel. He said he'll give a detailed introduction when we get back. As far as I know, our opponents in the first team match are very strong. Most of them are fourteen or fifteen years old and at the level of a three-ring Soul Master." Xu Xiaoyan's tone became slower as she spoke, revealing a hint of worry. Perhaps Bai Xu wouldn't be much of a three-ring Soul Master, but there are five of them on the other side.

"Don't worry, let's go back first, we'll win."

Bai Xu declares victory!

"it is good."

Hotels

Long Hengxu and Wu Changkong were arguing. Long Hengxu was furious. Wu Changkong hadn't given the students in Class Zero any plans. They were left to figure out how to fight as a team. How could he be a qualified class teacher?

So this scene unfolded: Long Hengxu's face turned red and his neck thickened; although he wanted to lash out, he was still holding back. Wu Changkong ignored him, stood by with his arms crossed, and closed his eyes in deep thought.

Seeing Bai Xu return first, Wu Changkong finally made a move and stepped forward to ask, "How did it go?"

Bai Xu replied, "Advancement successful."

After hearing this, Wu Changkong returned to his previous state.

Long Hengxu strode forward and said with satisfaction, "Bai Xu, you are truly a genius that our Donghai Academy has seen once in a century! As expected of you, you advanced with ease, but I have some bad news to tell you."

"What?"

"The opponents you'll face in the five-person team competition are stronger than ever before. They come from Tianhai Academy and can be considered the hosts of the Tianhai Alliance Grand Competition. Almost all five of them are at the third-ring level, and I've even heard that some are close to reaching the fourth-ring Soul Master level. The difference in soul power is huge. Do you have confidence?"

Before Bai Xu could speak, Long Hengxu added, "As long as you win this competition and Donghai Academy surpasses Tianhai Academy, you'll have significantly increased the academy's reputation, and the Board of Directors will definitely reward you handsomely!"

"We will win, Director Long."

"I believe in you!" Long Hengxu patted Bai Xu's shoulder heavily, looking at him with a face full of relief. In terms of overall strength, Bai Xu was no less than San Huan, but it was too difficult to create a miracle in the team competition, but he still believed in Bai Xu.

With the return of Gu Yue, Tang Wulin, and Xie Xie, the five of them gathered together and began to discuss their team battle plan for the afternoon.

in the afternoon

On the stage

Bai Xu and Tang Wulin were in the center, with Gu Yue and Xie Xie on either side, and Xu Xiaoyan standing at the very back of the team. That's how the formation was set up.

Tianhai Academy is led by a serious young man, with four people behind him, forming a team of one strong attacker, two agile archers, and two support characters to oppose Donghai Academy.

However, the silent youth at the head of the group held his breath, silently lowered his head and closed his eyes, seemingly in meditation. He was dressed in white, with a strand of black hair hanging down his forehead and fluttering in the wind. His hands were behind his back, holding a sword with a blade four feet three inches long, three inches wide, and a hilt one foot two inches long. He was very confident.

"So pretentious?" Bai Xu muttered to himself.

"Bai Xu, this person is not easy to deal with." Tang Wulin frowned, lowered his voice and silently opened the team communication. He sensed a sharp edge and threat from this person. His sword spirit was extremely powerful and fast, making him very difficult to deal with.

Gu Yue, being knowledgeable and experienced, explained, "His martial spirit is the Seven Kill Sword, and the tower that the girl in the green dress at the back of the group is dragging should be the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."

"Why does this feel so familiar?" Bai Xu didn't respond, and complained again.

The latest novel is first published here!

"Shall we proceed as planned?" Xie Xie asked.

"Thirty seconds to go!" The referee raised his right hand, silently counting down the time; the pre-match taunting session was about to begin.

Only then did the white-robed youth react: "You should admit defeat. The Seven Kill Sword is extremely powerful, even I find it difficult to control."

"Heh heh, you definitely won't survive the Seven Kill Sword!"

"That's right, just admit defeat, Xiu Chen's sword is very sharp!" The girl at the back of the group chimed in like a straight man, glancing at the boy with a slight blush.

"Ten!" The referee began the ten-second countdown.

Bai Xu turned to Xie Xie: "Let's stick to the original plan."

Both then unleashed their martial spirits. Bai Xu was surrounded by flames, exuding a powerful aura. He calmly asked, "May I ask your name?"

"Wei Xiuchen." The Seven Kill Sword emitted a soft hum, accompanied by a whisper. The crisp trembling sound almost echoed throughout the entire area. The young man seemed to have reached the point of oneness with the sword, and his eyes became extremely sharp, as if they could cut through people's hearts.

"Brother Wei is very confident. Coincidentally, I am also a sword cultivator, and quite experienced in it. The Seven Kill Sword is indeed very powerful, but the stats of my Five Fingers Fist Heart Sword are not low either. I wonder how you will deal with what I do next?"

As Bai Xu spoke, he fully activated his martial soul, causing the second ring of his purple soul to light up, instantly startling his opponent. His aura exploded and surged, almost reaching the limit that the second ring could unleash.

"What is he trying to do? The match hasn't even started yet. If he attacks, he'll be disqualified immediately!" This question echoed in everyone's mind, even the referee counting down.

But the next second, Bai Xu lowered his head slightly, held his breath, and his aura instantly plummeted to rock bottom, as faint as a wisp of smoke. He clasped his hands together in front of his chest, his right hand slowly clenching into a fist, as if drawing something from his left hand. Then he raised them high above his head, fixing them directly above his head.

All the green flames surged toward his right fist, and in the blink of an eye, Bai Xu's true form reappeared.

"One! The match begins!" The referee shouted as the countdown ended.

"Immortal's Deadly Technique: Five-Finger Fist Heart Sword!"

"superior!"

Both sides attacked almost instantly as soon as the referee's voice fell, but the green sword light was incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, the sword light was already in front of them, and the first to be hit was naturally the Seven Kill Sword.

With a single finger, the Seven Kill Sword fell, and the referee didn't even react before the boy was injured on the spot.

With two fingers, the referee immediately shielded the second person, taking the brunt of the injury.

Three fingers, three people are eliminated.

The entire hall fell silent; not a sound could be heard.
