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

The classic red and white school uniform of the inner courtyard.

Pushing open the dormitory door, she felt as if two wings sprouted from her back, and she rushed towards the outer academy like a shooting star. Being able to enter Shrek Academy had already filtered out the vast majority of "Lu Chengs," and the probability was at least better than casting a net in the vast sea of ​​people across the entire continent. She muttered to herself, but her body was very honest. After all... what if?

……

"It's the last knockout match now." Du Weiren stroked his chin, his eyes gleaming.

"In that case, let's make the competition even more intense."

After saying that, he made some changes to the schedule.

The original Jade Spirit Dragon team has been repositioned and is now opposite Lu Cheng's team.

"We need to get the dean's attention as soon as possible. Those guys from the Soul Guidance Department have already caught wind of this and are coming over these past two days..." Du Weiren thought to himself, while looking up and nodding with a smile to Fan Yu, the head of the Soul Guidance Department, who was watching the match in the distance. "The weather is nice today."

"Hehe, look at this little guy, he seems to be quite accomplished in the Martial Soul Department as well." Fan Yu put his hands behind his back, a hint of surprise in his eyes. They had actually been paying attention to Lu Cheng for a while, but in their subconscious, with the boy's terrifying talent, he must have already become a core disciple of the Martial Soul Department... Although he didn't have a title, he must have already entered the sights of the higher-ups, such as Yan Shaozhe, and they were just waiting for this assessment to end before granting him the status of a core disciple.

Therefore, they didn't dare to directly snatch him (in the original novel, they only managed to snatch Huo Gua by betting against Yan Shaozhe; now that the protagonist's talent is so exaggerated, Qian Duoduo felt that Yan Shaozhe had no reason not to value the protagonist).

Seeing Fan Yu's tentative remarks and thinking of Dean Yan's carelessness, Du Weilun was annoyed by his lack of ambition, but also afraid that the other side would find out about the dean's attitude, so he could only pretend to be indifferent.

"That's natural..."

"Oh, Xiao Tao, you're here too?" Du Weilun looked slightly surprised as a red figure suddenly appeared beside him.

"The teacher asked me to be one of the referees for this exam, to replace him as the proctor," Ma Xiaotao said calmly.

"What about a few days ago?" Du Weiren asked, taken aback.

“I forgot…” Ma Xiaotao’s expression remained calm.

"Hehe, it's nothing. It just so happens that today is the finals." Du Weilun's eye twitched. Ma Xiaotao was already a direct descendant of the Sea God Pavilion in the inner courtyard. Now that her martial soul has evolved, her status is even closer to that of Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan, the successor of the Sea God Pavilion. Dean Yan's move is probably to let this disciple take over his position.

He had no intention of "taking a step further." He was self-aware enough that he lacked the ability and experience, so he was naturally quite amiable towards his future boss.

"Where is that... guy named Lu Cheng?" Ma Xiaotao got straight to the point.

Although I didn't have high hopes, I at least went over to take a look.

“Division Seven.” Du Weilin’s lips curled into a smile.

Finally! Finally!

Has Dean Yan finally taken it seriously?

As her disciple, Ma Xiaotao's first task upon arriving to supervise the exam was to observe Lu Cheng. Sure enough, the dean was shrewd and calculating; as soon as he saw the opposing Soul Guidance Department trying to snatch someone, he immediately sent his disciple to forcefully suppress them.

This scene was meant to tell Fan Yu on the other side: Lu Cheng belongs to our Martial Soul system, and no one can have him!

As expected, Fan Yu sighed softly upon hearing this.

"..."

Ma Xiaotao is straightforward and easygoing, never noticing these intricacies. After learning about the competition area, she went straight there.

……

"Seventh Division".

"Lu Cheng's team versus... Yu Linglong's team!"

The two teams stood on opposite sides of the arena, facing each other from a distance.

The smell of gunpowder was extremely strong.

The surrounding disciples watched intently, afraid of missing the first encounter between the two newcomers, the biggest demon kings.

One is a Soul Master, and the other is just as powerful as a Soul Master.

The question of who is stronger and who is weaker will soon be answered.

Meanwhile.

Ma Xiaotao also appeared at the back of the spectator stands, glancing around with a slightly surprised look. How could a freshman assessment have attracted so many people...

That's really a bit strange.

Forget it, I'd better finish my business as soon as possible and go back to the inner courtyard to cultivate.

Ma Xiaotao thought to herself, her gaze sweeping across the crowd on the field.

He quickly glanced at the group, subconsciously accustomed to leaving disappointed, and turned to leave.

But his body suddenly stiffened.

He slowly turned his head back again.

A tall, handsome young man stood in the center of the field.

Flames shot into the sky.

Just like the boy in my memory.

P.S.: It's the end of the month, I'm feeling a bit down, I'm really sorry... OrZ. The first chapter will be updated at noon tomorrow, and starting tomorrow, there will definitely be three chapters a day!

Chapter 52 The Drawbacks of the Cleaver Team

Nine wins out of nine battles.

Both teams were like this, sweeping and crushing their opponents all the way, with unstoppable momentum.

Now, the final match of the knockout stage, the tenth game, will determine whether they can secure first place in the group stage. In fact, logically speaking, they shouldn't have met so early.

They should at least meet in the finals of the qualifying rounds, but for some reason, they're scheduled to meet again.

"The Seven Treasures transform into Glazed Glass; the Seven Treasures have names: the first is Soul, the second is Speed!"

As the referee gave the order to begin, Ning Cong's eyes narrowed slightly, and a seven-colored exquisite pagoda slowly appeared in his palm, emitting a dazzling seven-colored light. At the same time, two rainbows shot out from the first and second floors, both landing on Lu Cheng and Xue Ling'er.

This is the full blessing of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda.

Lu Cheng smiled.

As expected of the number one weapon spirit renowned throughout the continent, each spirit ring increases its power by 10%. Ning Cong has two spirit rings, which translates to a 30% increase.

Compared to the meager boosts of other support classes, ranging from 5% to 10%, this can be a game-changer.

"drink!"

Xue Ling'er gave a soft shout, and her martial soul possessed her. Her martial soul was a mutated earth dragon, which focused more on defense. Dense dark brown dragon scales emerged from her arms and thighs; a dark brown earth dragon with a single horn on its head slowly appeared on its back, exuding a solid and steady aura.

Meanwhile, the Jade Spirit Dragon, possessed by the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul, was like a heavy-duty tank, charging forward at an extremely fast speed, leaving sparks and lightning in its wake.

The two offensive-type Soul Masters collided.

Xue Ling'er's soul power was only level 24. Logically speaking, she should have been defeated in one blow by Yu Linglong, who was already a Soul Venerable. However, with Ning Cong's support, she actually managed to block the attack.

"First Soul Skill, Thunder Dragon Claw!"

Yu Linglong dared not delay for a moment. He knew that the opponent's true trump card was still gathering strength. The sharp edge of that arrow was staring intently at him, waiting for the moment to reveal a flaw. A yellow soul ring lit up under his feet, and two light blue dragon claws were covered with the power of roaring thunder, which struck Xue Ling'er directly.

The latter also used its soul skill to defend, but it was clearly slightly inferior and was knocked back several steps.

really.

"Whoosh!"

A crimson arrow seemed to tear through space, shooting straight toward him.

"Drink!" Jade Spirit Dragon remained calm in the face of danger, raised its dragon claws, and caught the arrow with its two claws. Then, it mobilized the power of thunder and tore the arrow apart.

Another arrow came, but Yu Linglong calmly caught it and then smashed it.

The two arrows took a toll on him, but having observed Lu Cheng closely over the past few days and gained a detailed understanding of him, he had already prepared tactics and plans to deal with Lu Cheng.

At that moment, a smile of victory appeared on his lips as he looked at Lu Cheng in the distance. While Lu Cheng was drawing fire, the battle spirits had already flanked him...

Without further hesitation, Yu Linglong knocked Xue Ling'er back with a single claw, then abandoned the fight and pounced straight at Lu Cheng and Ning Cong behind him.

A low hum, like a sonic boom, came from afar, as another petite figure, carrying a formidable presence, launched a sneak attack from the side.

At that moment, the entire room fell silent.

Many people have noticed the clues: Lu Cheng's team is a "melee team" (meaning they can easily crush weaker teams), but when they encounter strong teams of the same level, their weaknesses are exposed... they have no front line.

Previously, it was always Lu Cheng who would take action, sweeping away the enemy with overwhelming power. But now, unable to defeat them in one blow, he has given the enemy a chance to counterattack. Xue Ling'er is unable to withstand or even hold back the two main combatants of the enemy, so the two in the back row are in danger...

After all, although Lu Cheng's fire bow overwhelmed everyone, everyone knew that he was a ranged attacker. The biggest weakness of ranged soul masters is their high burst damage and low health. Once they get close, the consequences are predictable.

Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan held their breath, their beautiful eyes filled with worry as they watched the thrilling scene unfold on the field.

Many disciples crossed their arms and shook their heads.

"We lost..."

"That's ruthless." Ning Cong shook his head, clearly somewhat dejected, as their team's mid-lane was now wide open, and the opposing team's two main players were flanking them.

"Still can't do it? These freaks, referee, we admit defeat..."

"Shut up."

But in the next instant, his body was lifted off the ground, and he was pulled back a step by the arm, narrowly avoiding the attack of the battle spirit.

"Lu Cheng?" Ning Cong looked at Lu Cheng with a look of astonishment.

He sat down on the ground with a thud, looking somewhat bewildered.

Do you still fight?

"Just sit and watch."

Lu Cheng said calmly.

Then, it actually swooped down towards the Jade Spirit Dragon, which was charging towards it with the imposing presence of a tank.

With a clench of his left hand, a crimson fire bow slowly materialized.

Two crimson arrows were shot out along the way.

One force repelled the battle spirits that charged forward again, while the other went straight for the Jade Spirit Dragon.

"Drink!"

Yu Linglong's eyes widened in surprise for a moment, because he never expected that this kid would dare to come face to face with him. In the past, which battle spirit master would not be trembling with fear when he met him, and would be scared out of his wits by the power of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex?

He used his dragon claws to tear apart the fiery red arrow, a cruel smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
