Douluo Continent II: The Dragon Breaks the Nine Heavens

Chapter 89 Freshman Ranking Competition

The thought of the ten-thousand-year-old soul bone and the thousand-year-old Pure Moon Flower that he had given away made Yan Shaozhe's heart tremble with heartache.

Making empty promises and drawing grand gestures might work for others, but it's completely useless for Lin Yun, a fact that Yan Shaozhe himself is well aware of.

He had barely begun to show any interest in getting something for nothing when Lin Yun immediately prepared to drag Xiao Xiao out of school, forcing him to offer some nice things to appease Lin Yun.

If they wanted Lin Yun to help suppress Ma Xiaotao's anger, they couldn't just summon him like they could summon and dismiss Xu Sanshi, that hothead. It would be almost impossible to get him to come without spending some money.

Yan Shaozhe was already thinking about how many times Lin Yun would have enough of his own savings.

(Lin Yun: Old Deng, gold coins, understand?)

However, it seems that getting Lin Yun to help isn't too difficult.

"Remember, if this kind of uncontrolled evil fire happens again, you must stop cultivating immediately and tell me. Make sure this never happens again," Yan Shaozhe instructed.

"Yes, teacher." Ma Xiaotao nodded sheepishly.

Seeing her teacher's pained expression, Ma Xiaotao knew that because of her out-of-control evil fire, that outer court student had probably extorted a lot of things from Yan Shaozhe.

Under these circumstances, how could Ma Xiaotao dare to talk back to Yan Shaozhe?

It's a pity that the outer court student's identity seems to be quite extraordinary. Otherwise, if I had snatched the Ice Jade Scorpion from him... no, I would have traded it for him, and I probably wouldn't have to worry about the Evil Flame problem in the future.

What a pity~

……

Lin Yun was unaware that he had almost been targeted by that crazy woman, Ma Xiaotao. But even if he had known, he probably wouldn't have cared. Next time Ma Xiaotao came looking for trouble, he wouldn't pull out Qing'er like he did yesterday.

Some people may appear calm on the surface, but they've already secretly planned out a smooth combo to instantly defeat their opponent.

Today is the first day of the freshman ranking competition, and it's also the battle to advance from 64 to 32. Today's draw is quite interesting because Lin Yun and his group ran into some old acquaintances again.

Upon arriving on the arena, seeing Huang Chutian's bitter face and the almost identical twin sisters behind him, Lin Yun suddenly laughed.

"What a coincidence, it's you guys again?" Lin Yun grinned and asked with a mocking laugh.

I, Soul Cloud, have come to take your souls!

"Yeah, I don't know what bad luck we've had to run into you again, you jinx..." Huang Chutian put on the mask of pain.

A girl standing nearby, whose identity was unclear, either Lan Susu or Lan Luoluo, nudged Huang Chutian's arm, gesturing for him to look at Lin Yun. Only then did Huang Chutian realize that he had inadvertently spoken his true feelings.

Seeing the dangerous smile on Lin Yun's face, a bead of cold sweat involuntarily rolled down Huang Chutian's forehead: "Big brother, can you pretend you didn't hear what I just said?"

"What do you think?" Lin Yun's smile remained unchanged.

"Don't hit me in the face!" Huang Chutian was on the verge of tears, and these three righteous words were his last act of defiance!

"The match begins!" The referee vanished in a flash.

On the arena.

"Huang Chutian, right? Have you eaten?" Lin Yun asked Huang Chutian with a friendly expression.

"Huh?" Huang Chutian was dumbfounded.

What does that mean?

"You've got a taste of my punch!"

Lin Yun stomped his foot on the arena, creating jagged cracks in the sturdy surface. Using the recoil, he transformed into a golden lightning bolt and hurtled towards Huang Chutian. Completely bewildered, Huang Chutian watched as Lin Yun's fist, the size of a sandbag, grew larger and larger before his eyes.

then……

boom!!

Snapped!

Clang! Bang!

"ah……!"

Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo hid in the corner of the arena, covering their eyes with their small hands and watching through their fingers as Huang Chutian was pinned down and brutally beaten by Lin Yun. The scene was extremely cruel and bloody, but the two of them had no intention of helping.

Are you kidding me...?

As for getting beaten up, Huang Chutian, the thick-skinned captain, can take the beating. The two of them are beautiful young women, how can beautiful young women be beaten up?

"I... Ah! I admit!... I lose!!" Huang Chutian stammered out the three words before spectacularly fainting.

Seeing Huang Chutian's once fairly square face now so badly beaten by Lin Yun that even his own mother wouldn't recognize him, Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo shuddered. They turned to look at Lin Yun, who was already eyeing them, and gave him an awkward smile.

"Hi……?"

"Oh? Aren't you two going down yet?" Lin Yun walked step by step toward the trembling twin sisters, cracking his knuckles and exuding an overwhelming sense of oppression.

"Get down! We're going down now!"

"Don't hit us, we give up! Waaah..."

The two sisters transformed into whimpering monsters, quickly using their hair to tie up the now unrecognizable Huang Chutian, and ran off the stage without looking back.

The referee gave Lin Yun a strange look. In all his years as a teacher, he had never seen such an abstract student as Lin Yun.

Before the fight, they actually asked the other side if they had eaten?

However, Huang Chutian must have had a good meal today. The impact of those punches was so real that even the referee felt an urge to cheer loudly.

Absolutely amazing!

On the first day, Lin Yun and his two teammates defeated Huang Chutian's team again and successfully advanced to the top 32.

The next day, Lin Yun swept the three extras he had been matched with the day before off the stage with overwhelming force, winning another victory and successfully advancing to the top sixteen.

On the third day, Lin Yun's team encountered some familiar faces from Class 8. As another team from Class 8, Lin Yun, wanting to have a friendly spar with his classmates, did not directly make a move. Instead, he let Xiao Xiao fight one-on-one against the three opponents.

In the end, Xiao Xiao only defeated two opponents. When she reached the third one, she lost her fighting ability due to insufficient soul power. The last opponent also readily admitted defeat.

Lin Yun's team advanced to the top eight.

Among the top eight teams, the four Soul Master teams were prominently featured, and none of them were eliminated early.

Interestingly, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's teams also advanced to the quarterfinals. Lin Yun hadn't expected them to make it to the quarterfinals under these circumstances, but considering Wang Dong's presence, the result made much more sense.

After all, she is the daughter of the Buddha Tang. It would be absurd if she couldn't even make it into the top eight.

However, it's uncertain whether the two of them will be able to advance to the final four, as they probably don't have any more Martial Soul Fusion Techniques.

In the semi-finals, Lin Yun drew a team that had appeared in the original work. One member of the team was named Zhou Sicheng, and the other was named Cao Jinxuan. The former's martial soul was a book that could summon soul beasts, while the latter's martial soul was the Time-Fleeting Bell, which could slightly manipulate time.

Facing Zhou Sicheng, who could summon soul beasts to fight, Lin Yun once again demonstrated his special skill.

He reached into his clothes and slowly pulled out a jade-green scorpion that looked like a work of art...
