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

Should he be killed?

Who do you think you are...?

Chapter 217 The feeling of having no rivals is like... having no rivals at all.

"It's him?"

In the crowd, a beautiful woman in her thirties or forties, dressed in a light pink dress, looked slightly surprised. The dress perfectly outlined her graceful figure, making her look like a ripe peach, delicate and tempting.

He forced himself to remain calm, but inside he was experiencing a raging storm.

"Mom, do you recognize him?" Nan Shuishui asked in surprise, following the beautiful woman's gaze.

It was right there in the crowd, the reigning "champion" who was riding high.

Of course, this is just something people have heard by word of mouth.

It is said that the guy represented Shrek Academy in the previous competition and had clearly won the final championship, but he betrayed them at the last minute and conceded defeat on behalf of Shrek.

They "gifted" the championship to the Sun and Moon Empire.

Of course, the Sun Moon Empire also vehemently denied it, saying that the championship was won by the Sun Moon Empire Royal Team with all their might in the previous competition and had nothing to do with Lu Cheng.

In the Sun and Moon Empire, image-recording crystals are abundant, so many people know the truth and have even witnessed the terrifying figure that blots out the sky. On the other hand, image-recording crystals, which are similar to soul tools, have not yet become widespread on the original continent.

It still relies on the most primitive form of oral tradition.

This means that what reaches her ears will be somewhat distorted.

But this doesn't mean the girl wasn't interested in it.

She was very interested in this guy.

After all, who doesn't admire legendary, incredibly strong individuals during their teenage years? Even if she knows that legends are often exaggerated, if Lu Cheng wins this competition, he will still be the unparalleled number one among the younger generation in her heart.

“Not only do you recognize him, but the snow lotus you consumed was given to you by him…” Nan Shuishui’s expression was complicated as memories from that year gradually surfaced. She originally regarded Lu Cheng as a ferocious beast that had taken human form, after all, he was able to appear on equal footing with the Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor, the two masters of the far north.

But to my surprise, he was actually human.

And back then... how old was he?

Twelve years old, or thirteen years old?

He was able to dominate negotiations of that level, leaving her completely stunned; he was simply too extraordinary.

"That 100,000-year-old snow lotus, it was actually given to me by him?" Nan Qiuqiu's pretty face was full of blankness.

The Earth Dragon Sect's current surge in strength is entirely due to that 100,000-year-old snow lotus from back then, which cleansed the marrow of their younger generation, causing their martial souls to mutate.

The main force of the Earth Dragon Sect participating in this competition consists of three Soul Emperors and four Soul Kings, and she is even at the peak of the Soul Emperor realm.

After their mother broke through to the Title Douluo level, the Earth Dragon Gate even showed signs of surpassing the Heavenly Dragon Gate. But no one expected that the instigator of all this was actually... a young boy.

"Back then, it was a barter system. He brought a 100,000-year-old snow lotus and took away the treasures in the backyard cave. After they left, I went down to investigate myself and found a lot of extreme ice-attribute energy inside. I guess they took away quite a few treasures back then."

Nan Shuishui looked at the spirited figure with complicated eyes, shook her head and said, "So whether it was a loss or a gain, it's hard to say for sure what happened back then."

"Therefore, after you meet him, you must keep this matter buried in your heart and never mention it..."

"Mmm." Nan Qiuqiu nodded obediently, but her pink eyes were actually becoming more and more curious.

How come this guy has so many secrets?

It gave her the impression that she was old despite being so young...

Lu Cheng curled his lips into a smile as he stood in the spectator area, overlooking the intense battle below. His terrifying mental power covered the entire arena, naturally taking in Nan Shuishui's unusual expression.

If this matter had been exposed back then, it would likely have caused considerable trouble, since he was still very weak at the time and it would have been difficult for Shrek Academy to explain himself if they caught him, and they might have been deliberately targeted.

but now……

Hehe, this mystery is enough for Nan Shui Shui to take to her grave. That's right, I was acquainted with the two Heavenly Kings of the far north when I was twelve years old, so what?

Who dares to judge me? Who dares to question me?

Given Lu Cheng's current reputation on the mainland, calling him a "monster" wouldn't be an exaggeration. He's ruined Shrek Academy's reputation, and then led the Body Sect in a surprise attack on Mingde Hall, humiliating the old emperor of the Sun Moon Empire by trampling his head underfoot...

One case after another.

Only he could have done it.

Lu Cheng's lips curled up in a smile.

The feeling of having no rivals is like... having no rivals at all.

"Hey old man, I'm talking to you! What are you looking at? Go eat your chicken leg..."

Lu Cheng spoke sarcastically to Xuanzi, who was staring at him with a sinister gaze.

Xuanzi: "..."

Hey!

His face was covered in black lines, and his veins were bulging.

This is just too much!

Can't I even glare at you secretly?

But upon seeing the tall, barely visible figure behind Lu Cheng, Xuanzi's lips twitched, and he shrank back to humbly eating his chicken leg. He couldn't beat him when he was level 98, and now that his opponent had reached the pinnacle of advancement, he was even less likely to win...

He received orders from Master Mu not to cause any trouble; winning the championship was the most important thing.

"Hmph!" Xuanzi snorted coldly, turned his gaze away, and continued to stuff the chicken leg into his mouth, tearing at it viciously, as if the chicken leg was Lu Cheng himself.

The gazes that had been secretly glancing at Lu Cheng around them gradually shifted away. If even Xuanzi didn't give them any face, wouldn't they just start throwing punches at them?

Lu Cheng ignored those people and focused his attention on the Shrek Academy team.

The captain was still Beibei, but the main team members were not the mixed bag he had expected. Instead, they were all full of energy, with simple faces, and seemed to be...

Haotian Sect?

Lu Cheng nodded slightly, which made sense. After all, Shrek Academy was completely ruined, and it would be impossible to win the championship without resorting to some underhanded tactics.

Since the Clear Sky Sect was under Tang San's command as well, it was normal for them to be temporarily pulled in to make up the numbers.

However... this is also a good thing.

Lu Cheng smiled.

If Shrek Academy had gone it alone, with only Bei Bei, Tang Wutong, and the others, he would have been worried, fearing that Tang San might be up to something again. But since it was the Clear Sky Sect that came... then there was no problem.

This actually shows that Shrek is now so empty.

However, Shrek Academy made ample preparations for Beibei. In the original story, Beibei was only at the Soul Emperor level at this time, but now... he has reached the Soul Saint level.

Moreover, he exudes an aura of transcendence.

It also radiates a power of light.

Clearly, it's highly likely that he accepted Mu En's legacy of light, and he might even have given the Dragon Pill to Bei Bei. After all, without the blessing of the Chosen One, Huo Yuhao simply couldn't compete with Mu En's grandson.

However, with the Dragon Pill combined with the Holy Dragon Martial Soul and the Soul Saint Realm, he could actually hold his own against Long Aotian.

Although the latter consumed the immortal herb, he was only level 74, at the Silver rank, and had not developed the power of his original martial soul to its fullest extent.

In conclusion, this tournament is probably the most star-studded tournament in history.

Chapter 218 The Body Sect, First Glimpse of Its Potential

"The next knockout stage."

In the center of the arena, the referee glanced at the sign, a strange look flashing in his eyes: "Body Sect versus... Snow Spirit Sect!"

The latter was an obscure little sect, but the former... was truly terrifying. The reputation of the Body Sect was known to any Soul Master with a bit of experience; those guys were a bunch of ruthless and insane individuals who did things without any regard for the consequences.

Their Sun Moon Empire had learned a lesson half a year ago. The old emperor was so angry that he fell ill and died. It was all the fault of these guys.

But what's even stranger is that these guys actually showed up in Mingdu, the home base of the Sun and Moon Empire, to compete.

He looked at it suspiciously several times before he was sure that it was indeed the Body Sect, since no one would dare to impersonate the latter's name.

"..."

The scene first fell into a deathly silence, then became lively again.

With Lu Cheng's Body Sect now in power, what is its current state?

The knockout stage is a team competition by default, and the Snow Spirit Sect team walked onto the stage tremblingly. Everyone knows that these guys are strong and unreasonable, but there is no other way but to give it a try.

They didn't even make it through the knockout stage and were sent back; it's really embarrassing.

Long Aotian turned to Lu Cheng for his opinion.

Lu Cheng glanced around and saw that the strongest member of the Snow Spirit Sect was only at the peak of the One Soul Sect. The team, which didn't even have a Soul King, was indeed quite weak among the many teams that were full of hidden talents.

"Wang Yanfeng, make this quick."

Lu Cheng spoke calmly.

"Look! Young Sect Master, just watch!" A tall young man chuckled, bent his knees slightly, and landed on the arena in an instant, his eyes filled with a hint of mockery.

Many of the disciples of the Body Sect around them were somewhat disappointed.

"Wang Yanfeng, you're so lucky!" another young man with slightly thicker calves laughed and cursed.

"As long as the young sect leader is willing, I'll even let him warm my bed. What are you yelling about, you piece of trash?" Wang Yanfeng swore, grinning as he turned around and exchanged insults with Chen Feng.

The scene was slightly awkward.

Within the team, Vina covered her face, regretting that she should have reminded them beforehand; this was incredibly embarrassing.

Lu Cheng frowned slightly and glanced at Wang Yanfeng below the stage.

The surrounding main force of the Body Sect immediately fell silent.

Don't be fooled by Lu Cheng's usual cheerful demeanor; his strength and status speak for themselves. Everyone in the Body Sect holds him in the highest esteem, and even the younger generation shows him a touch of fear.

Lu Cheng's expression changed, and no one dared to joke anymore.

The latter felt a murderous aura sweep over him, his eyes twitched wildly, and he quickly looked at the referee: "Why are you looking at me? Hurry up and announce the start of the match!"

The referee was speechless, his eye twitching slightly. As expected of the Body Sect.
