Douluo Continent: We agreed on a simulation, but they've come to life?

P.S.: The next chapter will be released at 11 PM tonight.

Chapter 129 Lu Cheng: What Did I Do Wrong? (3k)

Lu Cheng remained calm, his gaze casually drifting into the distance.

Now, the rest area for the college teams is mostly empty, with only the last sixteen teams remaining, making it seem rather deserted.

However, many eyes were still on him, seemingly eager to see if he could produce something when facing the Douling team again.

After all, the Douling Team is a top-tier team, and was among the top four in the previous All-Continent Soul Master Academy Tournament. They may not be aiming for the championship, but they certainly have the combat power to be among the top four.

Therefore, this time... it can be considered a fierce battle.

In the rest area of ​​the Sun Moon Empire team, everyone's expression was solemn, and they all stared intently at Lu Cheng. Last time he made a move, there was only one Soul King level expert on the other side, and it was barely acceptable that he overpowered him, since Ma Rulong could also do that.

But this time, the Douling team has at least five Soul Kings. The captain, Guzhujian, is at least a level 57 Soul King, whose combat power is comparable to that of an ordinary Soul Emperor.

When these seven people come together, their combined combat power increases exponentially.

They could easily crush a peak Soul Emperor, and it's hard to say about Soul Saints, but if they didn't use their Martial Soul True Body, they probably wouldn't gain any advantage against these seven people.

Lu Cheng remained relaxed, knowing that most of the attention was on him at this moment.

After all, no one isn't curious about where his limits really are.

"Princess Jiujiu?"

Just as Lu Cheng was wondering, a beautiful young woman with an oval face and an ethereal air, dressed in a light yellow academy uniform, led the Star Luo Royal Team to the Shrek Academy rest area. The beautiful woman smiled and chatted with Lu Cheng: "Fortunately, we didn't meet Shrek Academy in the top 16, otherwise the Star Luo Team would probably have been eliminated this year."

"Princess Jiu Jiu is too modest..."

"..."

As the vice-captain of the Star Luo team, Huang Heyun listened to the conversation between the two from behind Xu Jiujiu. It was as if he had met an old friend. Princess Jiujiu's smile never disappeared, but seeing this, he could only sigh inwardly.

Throughout the entire Star Luo Academy, no one disliked this intelligent and stunningly beautiful princess. She was poised and elegant, with a noble and ethereal air, as unapproachable as a celestial fairy. He was no exception.

He was naturally overjoyed when he heard that Xu Jiujiu would be parachuted into the team as captain, but he quickly came to terms with reality.

No matter how hard he tried to cultivate, he could not enter Xu Jiujiu's heart.

"In that case, I wish Shrek Academy victory in advance. See you in the semifinals~" Xu Jiujiu showed a cute expression, which made many male students around her stunned.

Lu Cheng smiled and nodded slightly.

"it is good."

At the same time, the referee's eyes flickered, shifting from Lu Cheng and Xu Jiujiu, and his voice came through the soul-guided microphone: "First round match, Shrek Academy versus... the Fighting Spirit Team!!"

"Lu Cheng!"

"Lu Cheng!"

"Battle Spirit!"

"..."

The cheers were like a tsunami, instantly sweeping across the entire stadium.

Countless spectators wore expressions of ecstasy, but the cheers shifted from "Shrek" to "Lu Cheng." After all, in their eyes, it was Lu Cheng who, single-handedly, delivered a visually stunning performance.

However, Yan Shaozhe frowned slightly, then quickly regained his composure.

With a warm smile on his face, he looked at Lu Cheng and said, "Fight well. After you win the championship, I will ask the many elders of the Sea God Pavilion to reward you. Not only will the mistakes you made in the Mingdou Mountains be offset, but the academy will also give you generous rewards."

Lu Cheng was stunned, truly not expecting Yan Shaozhe to be so shameless: "The Mingdou Mountain Range's...mistake? Wasn't that Elder Xuan's fault? What fault have we outer court disciples committed?"

Yan Shaozhe's face stiffened, seemingly embarrassed by being publicly humiliated. He immediately put on a stern face and said, "Let's start the competition."

"Yes, let's focus on the competition first, we can talk about these things later," Wang Yan said anxiously.

Lu Cheng's eyes were fixed on Yan Shaozhe: "The competition isn't urgent. I need to ask Dean Yan first. We disciples have fought for Shrek Academy with all our might. We were almost killed by evil soul masters in the Mingdou Mountains and risked our lives to get out of the cave. Now we have fought a pack of poor wolves for Shrek's honor and made it into the top sixteen. How can we have done nothing but cause trouble?"

"That Xuanzi just packed his bags and left, leaving behind a huge mess. He went back to Shrek Academy for some peace and quiet. The person who should be most responsible for this tragedy ran away, leaving us, a group of Shrek outer disciples, to take the blame for the Mingdou Mountain Range incident?"

"Dean Yan, is there anything you can't do?"

"You...!!!" Yan Shaozhe's face was full of anger as he pointed at Lu Cheng. In front of countless spectators and many participating teams, if he were to escalate this dispute, Shrek Academy would probably become the biggest laughing stock of the day.

He was trying to pin this huge burden on a group of reserve team disciples in order to manipulate Lu Cheng and make the latter fight harder to win the championship. But he didn't expect to go too far and forget that this guy was a devil who wouldn't fall for Shrek's tricks at all.

When Lu Cheng really started to escalate the situation, he was no longer in the right.

Not to mention, this match still depends on Lu Cheng's intervention.

The championship symbolizes the honor of Shrek Academy, and there can be no mistakes. He cannot be the one to commit such a sin.

"Why bother? Hurry up and get on the field, the referee has already started the countdown." Wang Yan was like an ant on a hot pan, his face flushed with anxiety. He really wanted to lead his team to victory.

Lu Cheng remained calm and unmoved.

"Don't go too far..." Yan Shaozhe said through gritted teeth, his face turning pale.

"hehe."

Lu Cheng chuckled, his expression unchanged.

Okay, okay, very good...

Yan Shaozhe was furious. He cursed Lu Cheng's direct relatives. He thought, "When we get back to Shrek Academy, I'll make things difficult for you. I'll make you suffer. Just you wait."

Anyway, Elder Mu had no intention of handing over the position of Sea God Pavilion Master to Lu Cheng, so he was not worried that Lu Cheng would take power in the future; he was just a tool and a henchman.

"Perhaps it was a slip of the tongue," Yan Shaozhe said coldly, though reluctantly.

"So that means the Mingdou Mountain Range incident has nothing to do with our many reserve team disciples?" Lu Cheng asked seriously.

“Not bad,” Yan Shaozhe said coldly.

"That's good. I was worried that Dean Yan would put the blame on us afterwards. I'm just an outer disciple, and my small body can't bear such a burden." Lu Cheng exhaled a breath of turbid air, still somewhat frightened.

Yan Shaozhe: "..."

His expression grew increasingly cold.

"It's still just me. Teams of this caliber can be quite damaging, and I can't worry about the others..." Lu Cheng waved his hand dismissively, then headed towards the arena.

"This..." Wang Yan hesitated, his face filled with worry.

The opposing team has five Soul Kings!!!

This is a world of difference compared to the last time when it was a Soul King.

But now all they can do is believe.

“I…” Bei Bei frowned slightly, “I can also go on stage. I’m a Soul Master, so I’m definitely not weak.”

Before Elder Mu arrived, he had specifically instructed him to make a prominent appearance to prepare for taking over Shrek Academy in the future, which was essentially to create momentum. However, in the first few matches, Lu Cheng stole the spotlight, as if Lu Cheng was the youngest and strongest representative of Shrek Academy this generation. Although Lu Cheng was not present in the subsequent matches, he still fought quite hard, but everyone knew that it was Lu Cheng who created the momentum, and he was just taking advantage of the chaos.

The applause he and the other reserve team members received after their victory was far less than one percent of Lu Cheng's.

He had even fantasized that with his long golden hair, handsome face, and such formidable talent, many girls would surely be secretly admiring him and showing him great favor.

But in reality, there was not a single person.

Not only did Tang Ya and Zhang Lexuan completely ignore him, but even ordinary viewers seemed to ignore him as well.

"You want to go on stage?" Lu Cheng paused, slightly surprised.

Upon hearing this, Yan Shaozhe quickly chimed in, "Yes, Beibei should go on stage with us. More people means more support."

I was so angry that I forgot to let Beibei ride on Lu Cheng's fame. Although the original plan to keep Lu Cheng on the bench and prevent Beibei from playing was no longer possible, it was still good to let Beibei appear more often.

"Then you go ahead."

Lu Cheng smiled and nodded slightly.

Beibei was overjoyed and was about to go on stage when she saw Lu Cheng stop in his tracks and watch him walk away.

"What do you mean?!" Beibei was a little annoyed.

Is this telling him to do it himself?

Are you kidding? They have five Soul Kings on the other side! Five Soul Kings!!

How could someone who had only recently advanced to the Soul Master level possibly defeat five Soul Kings? That would be tantamount to suicide.

"Lu Cheng! We're classmates, don't go too far!" Yan Shaozhe's face grew increasingly grim.

He didn't expect Lu Cheng to be so ruthless.

"Dean Yan, don't make baseless accusations! I've already given the opportunity to Bei Bei, what more do you want?" Lu Cheng spread his hands, his face full of question marks.

"You..." Yan Shaozhe was furious.

“I told you, he’s just a burden. I won’t be responsible if he dies on stage,” Lu Cheng shrugged.

"..."

The scene suddenly fell silent.

Beibei's face turned pale instantly.

He suddenly remembered that this was a competition arena where one could go all out. If only two people were on the field, although it would attract the audience's attention, it would also concentrate the opponent's firepower.

He wasn't as formidable as Lu Cheng; if he were...

But Yan Shaozhe was too angry to notice Bei Bei's pale face. He snorted coldly, "Whatever, if I die on the stage, I die on the stage. Just tell me if you're willing or not."

"That's okay too."

Lu Cheng nodded slightly, looking troubled: "I have no objection."

"I..." Beibei was about to speak.

The referee on the stage immediately urged, "Both teams, please come to the stage!"

The seven main players of the Douling team were all on the field early on, and many eyes were on the Shrek rest area.

"hehe."

Lu Cheng smiled.

They walked towards the stadium.

Behind her was Beibei, whose legs were a little weak.
