Douluo Continent: Peerless Bei Bei, Light Dragon King

Chapter 122 Emptiness~

Beibei: "..."

The terrain of Xingluo Imperial City is flat. Even if he was weak, he shouldn't have fallen flat on his face, right?

However, he couldn't fight city hall now, and Zhang Lexuan still pushed him out like a wheelchair-bound war god.

Just as he stepped out, he coincidentally ran into Ma Xiaotao, who lived next door and was also leaving at the same time.

With dark circles under her eyes, Ma Xiaotao immediately noticed Beibei sitting in a wheelchair and was extremely surprised.

She specifically checked Beibei's body yesterday, and she was perfectly fine. How could she have ended up in a wheelchair?

Her face was still pale, her eyes were droopy, and her dark circles were heavy, making her look like her body had been hollowed out.

Then, as if remembering something, she turned to look at Zhang Lexuan, whose face was flushed.

He thought to himself: That's strange. When I was eavesdropping at night, I didn't hear any "hmm" or "ah" sounds.

As the older sister, and given their years of living together and familiarity, Zhang Lexuan understood perfectly what Ma Xiaotao's gaze meant.

"Boom!"

Immediately, he extended and bent his fingers, rewarding her with a small steamed bun.

He said speechlessly, "Nonsense."

"Beibei will only be in a wheelchair for a few days; there's nothing seriously wrong with her, and certainly nothing strange like you're imagining!"

Ma Xiaotao, covering her head, nodded in disbelief.

But their commotion woke up the rest of their companions, who all ran out to check and started chattering around Beibei.

"Why are you in a wheelchair?!"

"You're injured?!"

"Huh! It doesn't look like that, it looks more like...utterly exhausted."

The crowd cast mocking glances at Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao.

But after Zhang Lexuan's gentle gaze swept over them all, all those teasing looks were cast at Ma Xiaotao, making her pretty face turn red.

I wanted to explain something, but I didn't know how to start.

But at this very moment, someone still stepped forward to add fuel to the fire.

In order to gain the attention of the beautiful Jiang Nannan, Xu Sanshi immediately revealed what he had seen the previous night.

The way he leaned down and whispered in her ear made Jiang Nannan instinctively want to push him away, but she was so engrossed in his words that she had no time to think about anything else.

"Oh, really?"

"Of course, I saw it with my own eyes. Late last night, Senior Ma came out of the two team leaders' room and listened at the door for a while. The three of them must have been..."

"Little turtle, what did you say?!"

Xu Sanshi, who was whispering to each other, was startled by Ma Xiaotao's shout. He immediately stopped talking, sweat beading on his temples, and his cat-like eyes widened in shock.

"N-nothing."

Unfortunately, it was too late; the fiery red feathers fluttered away.

In the blink of an eye, Ma Xiaotao was already beside Xu Sanshi, her slender hand grasping the back of his collar and gently lifting him up.

Her beautiful, almost fiery eyes stared intently at Xu Sanshi.

"Little turtle, I really envy you."

"Huh? Huh? What?"

"You are a water-attribute martial soul master, and you have an ultimate fire-attribute soul saint as your sparring partner. How can I not be envious?"

Xu Sanshi: "???"

"Sister Tao, could you...?"

"cannot!"

"Then please be gentle, it's best not to hit my face."

"Hehe~"

"The best? There is no best!"

Xu Sanshi is a pretty good young man, but next to the tall and slender Ma Xiaotao, he really looks like a giant turtle being lifted up and suspended in mid-air, waving his arms and legs.

As she moved away from the crowd, Ma Xiaotao uttered her last words.

"Don't worry, practicing with Xiao Xu won't take much time. I'll be at the Soul Fighting Tournament on time."

Speaking of the Soul Fighting Tournament, the group arrived at the tournament venue.

The staff member equipped with an eye-detecting soul guide hesitated for a long time, but still stood in front of the new "Wheelchair God of War" Bei Bei.

"You... are a contestant? Your name and soul guidance video are not on the Shrek Academy team."

Zhang Lexuan, pushing the wheelchair, was the first to speak and explain:

"This is Beibei, the team leader of our Shrek Academy participating in this Soul Fighting Tournament."

"He was delayed by something yesterday, so he didn't register in person; I registered on his behalf."

His eyes gleamed strangely as he looked at the team leader Zhang Lexuan had mentioned—well… the team leader sitting in a wheelchair.

The Soul Fighting Tournament has been held for so many years and so many sessions, and I have never heard of a team leader who came in a wheelchair.

He's a seven-ring Soul Saint and the team leader, while you're a nine-ring titled leader and the deputy team leader. What kind of weird game are you playing?

Seeing his hesitation and dazed expression, Beibei smiled gently and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Is it true that wheelchair users are not allowed to be team leaders in the Soul Fighting Tournament?"

The staff member, realizing their rudeness, apologized repeatedly.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

"Please come in."

Walking along the passageway leading to the exclusive rest area of ​​the Soul Fighting Tournament Academy.

"Lexuan, it's more convenient for me to walk by myself."

"I get almost 100% of people turning their heads to look at me on the way here, and I've even heard people giving me nicknames."

But Zhang Lexuan accepted all these gazes without hesitation.

"They should be praising you as the 'Wheelchair Warrior,' after all, someone as disabled and determined as you, leading a team to participate in the Soul Fighting Tournament while in a wheelchair, is truly one of a kind."

Haha~

"The college will become a model for other colleges to educate their students."

Beibei: "..."

Sophistry! Utter sophistry!

But what could he do? He was too weak to stand up, and the beauty behind him would immediately press him down.

The topic was quickly dropped, and Beibei moved on to another topic, deliberately communicating using mental energy.

"Have you gone to see that 70,000-year-old Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone?"

Similarly, Zhang Lexuan also activated her mental connection.

"I've gone."

"The 'Ice Blast' skill that is provided regularly is indeed very powerful. I don't lack soul bone skills to use, so it's worth exchanging two soul skills for such a divine skill."

"Um."

"It's good that you're sure, so we don't have to trouble Hyotei to take a look, and save her from getting angry again."

While exchanging these words, they unconsciously stroked the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Ring until the finger wearing the ring was frozen solid, at which point they realized what was happening.

Only Hyotei's deep, angry voice could be heard:

"Get your stinky hands off me, don't touch me!"

Beibei: "..."

Is it impossible to escape Hyotei's daily bout of anger? Should he just copy down the "Don't get angry" text and show it to her, so she doesn't get sick from anger again?

As they leisurely made their way to the academy's exclusive rest area, the soul guidance system that matched opponents just finished displaying the results.

In the second elimination round, Shrek Academy faced off against Tianlu Academy.

Tianluo Academy is an academy that specializes in soul guidance.

Of course, as for its current situation... the use and production of soul tools are not outstanding, and the cultivation of soul power and the research of martial souls have also fallen behind.

Not to mention the seven pre-selected team members, not even one of the seven regular team members is a five-ring Soul King.

Furthermore, given Ma Xiaotao's formidable presence yesterday, it's no surprise that the opponent surrendered before the battle even began.
