Douluo Continent: Peerless Bei Bei, Light Dragon King

Chapter 52 One Against Seven

It was this separation of their lips that finally brought a sliver of clarity back to her muddled mind.

Her cheeks flushed instantly, and then she lowered her head, burying her face between her breasts.

After three years apart, he suddenly kissed me as soon as he came back. Even though when we were little, he would always resist when I tried to kiss him!

Could it be... that he's reached puberty?!

What if he wants it tonight? Should I give it to him or not?

Oh no!!!

In her mind, a mini Q-version of Zhang Lexuan slapped her flushed cheeks hard.

She was nineteen years old. Girls of this age may have very different personalities, but they all share the characteristic of having wild fantasies.

At this time, it was just beginning to get light.

A ray of morning light shone through her hair and onto the corner of her eye.

Finally, she came up with a way to get out of the awkward situation.

"It's dawn. Beibei, you still have tasks assigned by Elder Mu. See you tonight—no, tomorrow."

She finished speaking quickly and left immediately; at that moment, she really needed some peace and quiet.

Watching Zhang Lexuan leave in a panic, Beibei's mind was filled with questions.

A strange muttering: "When he was little, he loved to kiss me. Every time we were apart for a while, he would kiss me, and I couldn't run away. What happened to him now?"

"A woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea. That's the wisdom of our ancestors."

"Sigh~" His sigh wasn't because of Zhang Lexuan's reaction, but because his good idea had failed.

"As expected, it won't work out."

Of course, he didn't have high hopes for it either.

After all, the idea that kissing someone can lead to a breakthrough in cultivation is... well, really strange.

I looked up at the rising sun and walked towards the outer courtyard along the pavilion bridge not far away.

Zhang Lexuan's excuse wasn't entirely unfounded.

Xuanzu did indeed assign him a task: to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament together with the Shrek Seven Devils' reserve members.

Beibei didn't quite understand this.

Why did he go to participate in the Soul Fighting Tournament?

He was with the reserve team, so naturally he was also a member of the reserve team.

Unlike in the original story, where the main team members were killed or injured by the evil spirit master before the reserve team was allowed to play.

It's worth noting that Zhang Lexuan is the team leader for Shrek Academy's main team this time.

After condensing the first soul core, the soul power increases by one level, reaching the level 77 high-level soul saint, still with a soul core.

Even if we don't say they were completely dominating, they were absolutely sweeping all the way through.

They're less of a reserve team and more of a cheerleading squad.

While observing and learning, they shouted, "Senior Sister is awesome!"

However, his own great-grandfather insisted, saying there were other reasons as well.

I didn't have a particularly good reason to refuse, so I had no choice but to agree.

Of course, it's not all bad news.

There's also good news: this time, the protector isn't Elder Xuan, but his ancestor.

Elder Xuan and Elder Song are responsible for staying behind at the academy this time.

...Outer Courtyard, Fighting Spirit Plaza.

Early in the morning, Du Weilun arrived at the rest area and paced back and forth.

It wasn't anxiety, but excitement.

Last night, Dean Yan Shaozhe came in person to tell him that Beibei was back.

Together with the new batch of Shrek Seven Devils trainees, they will participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament.

Let him arrange a battle of spirits to determine who is better and who is worse, so that they don't fight amongst themselves on the field and become a laughing stock for outsiders.

Of course, none of these things were important to Du Weilun.

The key point is that his "advancement" staircase is back!

The grand vision that Dean Yan Shaozhe initially promised is finally showing signs of becoming a reality.

He will lead the team for this competition, together with Mu En, the master of the Sea God Pavilion, leading the students there.

After returning safely, this group of trainees entered the inner courtyard.

The academy will intervene and help him hunt for his eighth spirit ring.

After advancing to Soul Douluo, he will simultaneously be promoted to Head Instructor of the Martial Soul Department.

As the saying goes, strength will come, and so will status.

Overjoyed, he was completely unaware that the Shrek Seven Devils reserve members he had mentioned had already arrived at the rest area.

"Teacher, teacher!"

"Huh! What's wrong?"

"You still haven't said who's going to challenge us in the Soul Battle Tournament?"

Most of the seven people spoke with resentment, as they had all distinguished themselves in the chaotic group battle to earn their spots in the reserve team.

What makes this unexpected upstart so special?!

Is he that awesome?!

Suppressing his excitement, Du Weilun was first puzzled, then realized what was happening and said:

Didn't I say so?

"Oh! I was so excited, I forgot to tell you."

"..."

The air suddenly went quiet, and Du Weilun awkwardly chuckled:

Haha~

"Don't be impatient, you know this person, he..."

"I am coming!"

Just as he was about to say Beibei's name, Beibei arrived.

"It was you?!"

"How could it be you?!"

"So you weren't dead?!"

Beibei: "..."

The first two sentences are one thing, but where did this last sentence come from?!

He scanned the seven people, hmm...

This batch of former Shrek Seven Devils members, who were almost wiped out by Soul King-level evil Soul Masters, did not undergo any changes in membership due to his little butterfly flapping its wings.

It was still the same seven people he knew: Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, Ling Luochen, Gongyang Mo, Yao Haoxuan, Xixi, and Chen Zifeng.

Perhaps because they were childhood friends, they didn't start fighting right away after not seeing each other for three years, but instead gathered around to chat.

"Where have you been for the past three years?"

Ling Luochen joked, "During your disappearance, there were rumors that you went to the Sun Moon Empire on business and were killed by a fixed-position soul-guided cannon."

"That's why Xixi was surprised you were still alive."

His gaze fell on Xixi, who smiled sheepishly and handed him a delicate macaron.

However, their conversation was interrupted by Du Weilun after only a short time.

"Let's catch up later, let's finish this business first."

He wasn't curious at all about where Beibei had been for the past three years.

He doesn't know, and he doesn't want to know; all he wants to do now is improve.

After he, as the teacher, spoke, the room fell silent. Ma Xiaotao, who had remained silent until now, spoke first:

"Let's have our first battle of spirits, him or me."

However, her clenched teeth and expression didn't seem like she was fighting with a fighting spirit; rather, it looked like she was there to beat him up.

Although three years is not a short time, it doesn't mean she would forget Beibei... and the letter filled with distrust she left behind.

She is the captain of the Shrek Seven Devils' reserve team, with a Soul King cultivation level of 51.

She rose to power through her own strength, and even Dai Yueheng, whose cultivation level was closest to hers, was completely subdued by her.

Unless her decisions are particularly unreasonable, almost no one in the team will object.

Of course, there were also those who weren't so obedient on the scene.

For example, the guy in front of them, whom they call "Cheng Yaojin" who suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

"Teacher Du, I'd like to request to fight alongside the seven of them to save time."

Handsome guys and beautiful girls, the review process is stuck, sorry.
