Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is Golden Light, all I want is more money.

Chapter 21 Preliminary Round Begins

The preliminary rounds are about to begin.

Zhang Zhiwei also followed the team to the central combat platform.

Since this competition adopts a team-based free-for-all format, the battle platform here is more than ten times larger than the previous Soto Arena.

The host announced loudly, "Next, please have each team's Soul Masters enter the battle platform in an orderly manner. You have five minutes to prepare."

Zhang Zhiwei and his group quickly moved to the forefront. In the face of a chaotic battle, it was better to secure a corner position in advance than to think about how to deal with it.

This is similar to playing PUBG. Instead of going through a lot of trouble to compete with others in the early stages, it's better to conserve your strength and wait for the right opportunity.

Commonly known as "Gou"!

Seeing that the others on the field had already begun to seriously discuss their strategy while they were still hesitant to act, Meng Yiran couldn't help but ask, "Senior Brother, what's our strategy?"

Ning Rongrong, who was standing nearby, also listened intently, curious about what kind of unpredictable battle tactics Zhang Zhiwei would come up with.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhiwei simply replied with two words: "Wait."

"What do you mean?"

The two of them looked like curious children, their faces full of curiosity.

Zhang Zhiwei smiled calmly: "We'll sit back and watch the tigers fight, then reap the benefits in the end."

"Okay, let's do it!"

Meng Yiran and Ning Rongrong both nodded in agreement, finding it feasible.

The three of them immediately agreed and shrank into a corner to minimize their presence.

The host on stage was stunned by this scene and couldn't help but ask, "Has the Beast Academy given up? Why are all three students huddled in a corner?"

The audience below the stage was dumbfounded. It was the first time they had ever seen such a spineless team, giving up before the game even started.

Upon seeing this, Yu Tianheng of the Royal Fighting Team flashed a hint of contempt in his eyes: "Brothers, it seems that our main opponent today is Tianshui Academy."

Seeing Yu Tianheng's arrogance, Ye Lingling gently reminded him, "Captain, don't forget His Highness the Crown Prince's instructions. The Crown Prince said..."

However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Yu Tianheng's lover, Dugu Yan.

Dugu Yan tucked a strand of purple hair behind her ear and said dismissively, "Lingling, you're just worried. Maybe His Highness the Crown Prince has just misjudged him. You should know that according to our intelligence, Zhang Zhiwei has only appeared in Soto City so far."

When the matter was mentioned, Yu Tianheng pounded his chest in regret, saying, "What a pity, we were just one day too late!"

Any Soul Master would feel extremely honored to be able to fight against such an existence.

Not to mention someone like Yu Tianheng, whose martial soul is the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex. You should know that people with true dragon martial souls are naturally arrogant, and very few people can truly earn their respect.

Dugu Yan comforted him gently, "Tianheng, there will be other opportunities in the future."

Time was up quickly.

With the host's command.

Chaos erupted instantly as a surge of powerful soul energy swept through the entire venue.

In an instant, Yu Tianheng activated his martial spirit, arcs of electricity crackling on his blue dragon claws, and shouted at Shui Bing'er with fierce fighting spirit, "Captain of Tianshui, how about we join forces to take care of the other teams first?"

After a moment's thought, Shui Bing'er immediately agreed: "Alright, we in Tianshui are willing to join forces with you!"

The other colleges, upon seeing this, were immediately displeased.

Especially Saron, the leader of Barak Academy, was so angry that his mouth twisted in disbelief.

The two strongest academies have actually joined forces.

Barak's captain wasn't stupid either, and shouted loudly, "Don't be afraid, everyone! They definitely can't finish us off before their soul power runs out!"

"If we unite, we can easily take down Huang Dou and Tian Shui!"

"I agree, otherwise we'll be picked off one by one sooner or later."

"Don't be a coward, let's fucking kill him together."

"Count us in as part of our botanical college!"

Before long, the numerous academies formed a coalition, preparing to launch a fierce attack on the Royal Fighting Team and the Skywater Team.

Barak's captain took the lead, releasing his martial soul, Gale Demon Eagle, with a pair of wind wings appearing behind him, along with three spirit rings.

"Third Soul Skill, Swift Wind!"

Captain Barak charged swiftly toward Yu Tianheng's back, his sharp steel claws seemingly capable of tearing everything apart.

Unexpectedly, Yu Tianheng suddenly turned around, grinning maliciously, and said, "I've been waiting for you!"

"Third Soul Skill, Thunderous Fury!"

"Second Soul Skill, Thunderous Might!"

Yu Tianheng instantly activated his amplified soul skill, followed by unleashing a thunderous roar, with dazzling lightning suddenly filling his entire body.

Captain Barak, who happened to stumble into the attack range, was in for a world of hurt, immediately being electrocuted and convulsing all over.

Just when Captain Barak was in despair, thinking he was about to be taken down in one go.

At this crucial moment, Yu Tianheng surprisingly let go and turned to Dugu Yan, shouting, "Yanzi, make your move!"

Captain Barak, sensing something amiss, exclaimed, "Oh no! Everyone, retreat!"

"Third Soul Skill, Azure Phosphorous Purple Poison!"

But Dugu Yan wouldn't let him have his way; a cloud of dark purple poisonous mist suddenly swept over.

The latest novel is first published here!

Many contestants fainted upon contact with it, and even those with excellent physical fitness collapsed without any power to resist.

The once energetic and lively group was wiped out in an instant.

This was even after Dugu Yan had already stopped.

It's absolutely astonishing.

As expected of a poison-attribute soul master, even if he can't beat anyone in a one-on-one fight, he's awesome when it comes to crushing noobs in group battles.

Seeing this, Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu quickly unleashed their Martial Soul Fusion Skill: "Snowflakes Falling!"

The biting, howling wind instantly dispersed the poisonous fog.

And in the corner.

Zhang Zhiwei glanced at Yu Tianheng with admiration: "This kid isn't completely stupid. At least he knows how to lure the enemy into a trap before releasing the poison."

"Hey, Zhang Zhiwei, you still have the mind to talk about this? The poisonous fog is almost spreading to our area!"

Ning Rongrong was so anxious that tears were about to come out. She didn't want to end up like those people, slumped on the stage like a broken-backed dog, which would make her lose all face.

Meng Yiran remained calm and said, "What's the rush? Senior Brother isn't afraid of poison."

Looking at the two of them so nonchalantly, Ning Rongrong felt a sense of powerlessness. Just as she was hesitating whether she should run away and jump off the stage,

A faint golden light slowly enveloped the three of them.

Zhang Zhiwei's yellow spirit ring instantly appeared, and it lit up as his first spirit skill.

To the astonishment of countless onlookers, the poisonous fog was completely blocked by the golden light.

Dugu Yan stared at Zhang Zhiwei in disbelief, when suddenly something came to mind: the martial spirit of that boy from many years ago seemed to have this kind of golden light.

Could it be him?

Dugu Yan wasn't sure, but she still secretly memorized the man's appearance, preparing to tell her grandfather when she got back.

Yu Tianheng couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "What kind of soul skill is this? It can even withstand poisonous fog!"

The others, including Yu Feng, also showed expressions of astonishment.

Perhaps no one present understood the terrifying nature of Dugu Yan's poison better than they did.

At this moment, only the three academies remained on the field.

Huang Dou, Tian Shui, and exotic beasts.

Suddenly, a spectator pointed at Zhang Zhiwei and shouted, "Hey, I remember now! I've seen this guy's martial spirit before, he's Zhang Zhiwei from Soto City!"

"Really?"

"Is that Zhang Zhiwei, who achieved a legendary 100-game winning streak in the Arena?"

"There's absolutely no mistake, I saw it very clearly, it's this martial soul!"
