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

This can be considered one of her clever ideas.

Lu Cheng glanced at the faintly visible white feet beneath the pool, a smile playing on his lips. Indeed, the attack speed boost made the beauty resemble a pure and flawless snow lotus, or perhaps the bright moon, truly possessing a fairy-like beauty.

Of course, what's even more captivating is that the fairy takes the initiative.

"Brother, what do you think our future children will be like?" Zhang Lexuan asked tenderly.

"I don't know, but if I want to know, I'll have to work hard."

Lu Cheng smiled and wrapped his arm around the beauty's slender waist, splashing around in the water...

……

the other side.

bathroom.

Wu Feng's pretty face flushed red as she looked around. Her usual carefree demeanor was now replaced by a shy blush, like that of a young girl.

"Sister Tian, ​​is this the prop you were talking about? It's a bit too exaggerated."

"Shut up. After today, you'll know how good men are. If you still like me, I'll beat you to death." Ning Tian adjusted the water temperature, looked at Wu Feng lying on the bed writhing, clenched his fists, and couldn't help but swear.

"Oh, oh..." Wu Feng bit her red lips lightly and nodded in a daze.

Ning Tian was left to do as he pleased.

Soon, a strange sound came from inside the room.

……

The next day.

As soon as it was light, everyone gathered in the hotel lobby.

Today we will draw lots. Because the number of participating teams in this competition is several times that of previous years, the initial elimination rounds will be much more brutal. Any team that is not at least a full Soul Master level will have a considerable chance of being eliminated.

Moreover, time was tight and the task was heavy, with the elimination rounds lasting two to three times longer than in previous years.

"Our Tang Sect was drawn from an unknown academy. What about you?" Tang Ya, with her hair in a ponytail, still exuded the youthful beauty unique to young girls despite being the head of a sect. She smiled and looked at Lu Cheng.

"Same here, a minor sect." Lu Cheng said expressionlessly.

"Hiss... Last night, my room seemed to be right next to yours, and it was a bit noisy. I thought it was two stray cats in heat by the window, howling all night until dawn. I didn't get any rest." Tang Ya said with a grin.

Everyone wore expressions of detached amusement.

However, Lu Cheng was extremely thick-skinned and had an indifferent expression.

On the contrary, Wu Feng blushed bright red, almost to the roots of his ears.

Chapter 216 The Competition Begins

"Why are you blushing like that? I wasn't talking about you."

Ning Tian blushed with embarrassment and said in a low voice, gently pinching Wu Feng's waist with her delicate hand, causing the latter to grimace in pain before letting go.

"And it's a male cat and a female cat, which is obviously referring to Lu Cheng and Senior Sister. They stayed in the same room last night."

"Senior Sister is indeed beautiful and has a great presence. Miss, do you think we can compete with her? Even if we offer a buy-one-get-one-free deal, it won't work." Wu Feng frowned again.

"Who said I wanted to compete with her? Stupid!" Ning Tian rolled his eyes at Wu Feng.

"She is the undisputed first wife, and there is no doubt about it. We have no need to compete with her, nor can we possibly win. It would only bring endless disputes."

"What should we do then?" Wu Feng asked in astonishment.

“It’s about being humble and unassuming.” Ning Tian shrugged. “Besides, because of the cooperation between the sect and the Body Sect, I have a huge dowry and my family backing me up. I will be the only one among my sisters to hold a public wedding with Lu Cheng, so we have the right to be married in the eyes of the world.”

"Therefore, there is no need for competition; we already have a place in Lu Cheng's harem."

“It’s only because you, Miss, see things so clearly.” Wu Feng suddenly realized, her pretty face flushed, and she nodded and smiled.

"Fool."

Ning Tian shook her head. Not long ago, she was still disgusted by men, but after last night's experience, she had become addicted to that feeling. She wondered what would happen after Lu Cheng really deflowered her...

But speaking of Wu Feng, she herself has never experienced that kind of thing; she only used props…

cough cough cough.

Ning Tian looked at Lu Cheng with tender eyes.

If there weren't so many people around and the Empress in charge, she would have taken the first step last night. Unfortunately, she has to wait a little longer.

"Alright, it's the first match after all, let's go take a look."

Tang Ya suggested.

"it is good."

Lu Cheng nodded.

The group arrived in the team's exclusive viewing area in a grand procession.

This also attracted a lot of attention. Although many powerful figures from the Body Sect did not show up but instead went into hiding, Lu Cheng was too conspicuous. He attracted the attention of many academy teams and even some sect teams that were expected to advance to the top four.

"That's Lu Cheng?"

Several young men dressed in gray and black gathered together. The handsome young man at the head of the group had sharp eyes fixed on Lu Cheng, but one hand was unconsciously resting on the hilt of his sword.

Only then did he realize something was wrong, and somewhat taken aback, he moved his hand away, his expression turning serious: "Such terrifying strength..."

"He didn't even glance at me, but the killing intent he unconsciously exuded made me instinctively want to draw my sword to resist."

"Captain, is he really that powerful?" Another disciple of the Proud Sword Sect asked in astonishment.

"I'm afraid it's more than that. Five years ago, he could already display combat power comparable to a Soul Saint. I dare not imagine what he will be like five years later."

The leading gray-robed disciple shook his head.

"I'm afraid what those guys said is true. We don't expect to compete for the championship. As long as we make it to the top four, we can make a name for our Aojian Sect."

the other side.

The Tianlong Sect and other forces were also secretly watching Lu Cheng and his group. However, Yu Tianlong's attention was more focused on Long Aotian. His senses were not as sharp as those of the sword cultivators, so in his eyes, the tall young man who was nearly two meters tall was a greater threat.

The latter is at least at the peak of the Soul Emperor realm, and may even have entered the Soul Saint realm.

With his arms crossed over his chest, his eyes gleamed with intense fighting spirit.

"A lot of people..."

Tang Ya's pretty face was full of excitement as she looked around.

"It's a pity that Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen didn't come, otherwise... it would have been really lively."

"Hehe." Lu Cheng chuckled.

If these two were to come, the Sun Moon Empire would probably be the first to pack up and occupy Bengbu; that would be a blatant provocation.

However, in the original work, it was Xiao Hongchen who led the team. For the glory of the empire, he paid the price of not being able to make any progress in his cultivation for the next five years. He swallowed a large amount of medicine to raise his strength to the level of Soul Saint.

And what about this life?

Without Xiao Hongchen, the pillar of the empire who is loyal to it, what do you expect the Sun Moon Empire Royal Academy team to win this competition?

Of course, in the final showdown, the Sun and Moon Empire will not give anyone the chance to determine a winner.

But... what if the Sun Moon Empire doesn't even make it into the top four?

He shook his head, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.

Lu Cheng guessed that the Sun Moon Empire Royal Team in this competition were probably all students who desperately improved their cultivation by using drugs, sacrificing their potential for the next few years. But so what?

Without laughter and dreams, the Sun Moon Empire Royal Team is truly just a nobody on the sidelines.

They would likely be easily defeated by veteran powerhouses like the Sword Sect or the Heavenly Dragon Sect, and even facing the Mingdu Soul Guidance Team would be a life-or-death situation.

The previous champion seems to have made many people lose their way, unable to distinguish who is stronger or weaker.

Lu Cheng leaned on the railing, his gaze fixed on the young figure on the high platform.

Regent.

Xu Tianran.

If he remembered correctly, back then, in order to stop this guy from ascending to the throne, he didn't lay a finger on the old emperor. At most, he made him so angry that he had a heart attack. But given the medical conditions in this world, he would at most have to lie in bed for a while and would be fine. It was impossible for him to die or be seriously ill in bed.

That being the case.

Either the old emperor is planning to sabotage him, or the famous scene of fatherly love and filial piety will be staged again in the Sun Moon Empire.

This Xu Tianran is really the kind of guy who would do something like this.

The latter seemed to notice his gaze as well. Their eyes met, and Xu Tianran forced a smile onto his stiff face and nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

The two gazes then separated, both filled with murderous intent.

"Grand Preceptor, how are the preparations for Qiankun Asking Love Valley progressing?" Xu Tianran shifted his gaze, his expression unchanged, and asked softly.

“It has already been awakened. Anyone who passes through it will be forcibly sucked in by that strange formation. As for the other three sides, they have also been covered by a net.” A black-robed man standing beside him spoke calmly, his voice neither male nor female, quite androgynous.

"..."

After a moment of silence, Xu Tianran asked again.

"With the Holy Spirit Cult and the Sun Moon Empire combined, what are the chances of completely annihilating the Body Sect?"

"……do not know."

The man in black shook his head: "Those guys have a deep foundation, not to mention that Poison Undying has already advanced to the limit. Even if we have three limit-level experts here, we still have to spare some attention to stop the other forces."

"Fine, if he were to self-destruct in my capital, it would be troublesome too," Xu Tianran said with a sigh of relief.

"The self-destruction of a Limit Douluo is enough to take me away."

"In short, we should open a passage in the east, preferably leading them to Qiankun Wenqing Valley, as long as we can drive them there..."

"Does His Majesty hate him?" the man in black asked softly.

"Anyone who dares to lay a finger on the woman I've chosen deserves to die," Xu Tianran said indifferently.

"..."

Beneath the black robe, the mysterious man curled the corners of his lips into a smile.
