Douluo Jueshi: Picking up Firefly at the Beginning

Chapter 107 Silver Demon (3.2K)
"Are you guys looking down on me?"

Ma Rulong's face was gloomy and his tone was filled with anger.

Liuying shook her head and whispered, "Captain Ma Rulong, are you ready? I might not be very careful with my attack."

Ma Rulong's forehead veins popped out, and he growled, "Oh, then come on."

"A firefly flies towards a flame, and lives towards death!"

“Boom! Bang! Bang!”

Liuxing turned his head away slightly, unable to bear to see Ma Rulong's miserable condition. Xiao Hongchen broke out in sweat on his forehead, secretly glad that the other party did not take him seriously when he fought with Liuying before.

Micah, who had woken up with gauze wrapped around his chest, opened his mouth wide and stared blankly at the captain who was beaten with his mouth open and eyes closed in the field.

The corners of Old Ma's eyes twitched a few times. Ma Rulong was his grandson. Seeing his grandson being beaten like a sandbag, he felt very complicated.

At this time, the venue was littered with gravel and soul guide fragments. The hard ground was also bumpy, and some of the potholes even looked like a human figure.

"boom!"

Ma Rulong was smashed into the ground, and the soul guide armor on his body had become tattered. You know, that was a complete set of sixth-level soul guide equipment!
"Ahem! Stop, stop fighting. I give up!"

Ma Rulong opened his red and swollen eyes, with a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. He coughed a few times and said hurriedly.

The fist wrapped in the silver-white mecha stopped in front of Ma Rulong, and the distance between the fist and his cheek was only one centimeter. Ma Rulong's hair was blown back by the wind from the fist like a hedgehog, and the flesh on his face also trembled with the wind from the fist, revealing his snow-white teeth mixed with blood.

"Oh!"

Ma Rulong knelt on the ground with lingering fear, fear in his eyes and a look of doubt on his life.

"Gudu!"

When the regular players saw the miserable state of their captain, they collectively took a step back and swallowed their saliva.

The few regular players who had not yet played looked at Liuying as if they were looking at a devil, and then looked in horror at the few players on Liuxing's side who had not yet played.

Liuying's figure walked out from the firelight, as if the silver-white demon who had just beaten Ma Rulong on the field was not her.

Liuying returned to Liuxing with a gentle smile and looked at him coquettishly, as if she was a student expecting praise from her teacher.

"Well done."

Liuxing reached out and smoothed the silver hair hanging down from Liuying's forehead. Looking at the frightened eyes of the regular team members, he knew that Liuying had been very successful in establishing her authority this time.

Seeing that Liuying, who had just ravaged the entire field like a god of destruction, was acting like a good girl in front of Liuxing, the regular players rubbed their eyes, suspecting that they had seen it wrong.

"Do you want to fight again?"

Meteor looked at the regular players.

"No, that's not necessary. I admit that you are stronger. She is right. You are more qualified to fight than us."

With the help of Chen An, Ma Rulong stood up, looked at Liuxing and said in a deep voice that there was no need to continue the next battle. He knew very well that after he, Micah and Chen Fei were defeated, it would be difficult for others to win.

Liu Xing, the captain of the reserve team, needs no mention. Ma Rulong also knows how powerful Meng Hongchen is. It can be seen that the remaining Xue Nu and Ye Guyi are not easy to mess with.

There's no point in fighting any further.

The strengths and weaknesses are already obvious.

"We can give up our starting position, but I hope you will win."

Ma Rulong glanced at the regular players and said with a complicated expression.

"Wait a minute, Captain Ma, we didn't say we were going to take your starting spot!"

Liu Xing was stunned when he heard this. He did have the idea of ​​establishing his authority in front of the starting players, but that was just to gain a dominant position and take the initiative. He never thought of directly snatching away someone else's starting position.

Ma Rulong shook his head and said, "Meteor, do you know how many second places our Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy has already won?"

Meteor fell silent, and the starting players also fell into dead silence. They originally wanted to say something because Ma Rulong was about to give up his starting position, but now they were silent.

"Our regular team is actually the reserve team of the previous class. Last time, we witnessed how our regular seniors were defeated and how they were defeated by Shrek Academy."

Thinking of the beautiful figure shrouded in silver moonlight, Ma Rulong felt heavy-hearted. Although he was now a sixth-level soul engineer, he did not have the slightest confidence that he could defeat the captain of the Shrek Academy team at that time.

Although they were exceptionally strong this time, with a lineup of one Soul Emperor and six Soul Kings, Ma Rulong did not have much confidence in winning, because they had all witnessed with their own eyes the strength of Shrek Academy.

Looking at Ma Rulong with a heavy face and the regular team members who fell into silence, Liuxing understood that the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy had lost too many times and it was natural for them to lose, as if they were not participating in the competition for the championship, but for the second place.

There is no other way! The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition is held every five years. Four thousand years ago, the Sun-Moon Empire was defeated and integrated into the Douluo Continent, which was renamed the Sun-Moon Continent.

Afterwards, the Sun-Moon Empire also began to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition. To date, they have participated more than seven hundred times, but in these seven hundred times, they have never defeated Shrek Academy once.

Seven hundred times! What a terrifying number! Losing to the same opponent over seven hundred times at the same time, anyone would have collapsed long ago.

The Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy was still able to maintain its momentum and was looking to defeat Shrek Academy, which was already a very good performance. All the regular players were in a low mood. They had all experienced the previous competition and the dominance of Shrek Academy was still vivid in their minds.

Liuxing found it hard to imagine how strong the previous Shrek Academy was that would make Ma Rulong, who was already a sixth-level soul instructor, show such an expression.

However, it is reasonable for a force that has been passed down for thousands of years and has a close relationship with the former protagonist who has become a god to have such dominance.

However, winning for tens of thousands of years without losing even once is really an exaggeration!

Meteor secretly clicked his tongue, but the more this happened, the more excited he became. Only an opponent like this was worth defeating. The glory that had lasted for thousands of years was broken by him. When he thought of that scene, Meteor couldn't help but smile excitedly.

This is really, really interesting.

He couldn't wait to fight with the Shrek Academy, which was considered unbeatable by others.

At this moment, the reserve team, with excitement in their eyes and full of fighting spirit, formed a sharp contrast with the main team, who were depressed and silent with their heads down.

Mr. Ma suddenly understood why Jing Hongchen arranged this and why he didn't let him prevent the conflict between the main team and the reserve team.

"It doesn't matter if I'm selected or not, I just want to be the champion."

Liuxing looked at Ma Rulong. No matter whether he was the main selection or not, he didn't want to lose.

"If you can win, I'd be willing to be your substitute."

At this time, Micah walked forward with his hands on his chest, with a look of relief in his eyes.

He has already lost to Gu Yuena, so what’s the point even if he still occupies the starting position?
"Yeah! Forget about second place or anything like that."

Chen Anye whispered, they are also proud people. It is simply outrageous that they don’t win the championship but try to grab the second place.

"I lost, and I'm convinced, so you must win!"

Fade Chen also spoke up, and he was convinced that he had been defeated by Xiao Hongchen.

At this moment, even Gu Yuena's expression was slightly moved. She originally thought that they would be unwilling, have complaints, and even hatred, but she didn't expect...

"Mr. Ma, what do you think?"

Liuxing looked at Mr. Ma. This matter was not up to them. The academy was the one who could make the decision.

"If you have made your own decision, the academy will respect your choice."

A voice came from the entrance of the underground training ground.

"grandfather?"

"Hall Master."

"headmaster!"

Jing Hongchen walked over slowly with Lin Jiayi and said with a smile, "In the history of the academy, it's not unprecedented for reserve players to replace regular players. Of course, this is the first time like yours has happened."

"What the academy wants is victory, victory over Shrek Academy. Whether you're in the main draw or the reserve draw, as long as you win, the academy will prepare generous rewards for you."

"From now on, the reserve team will become the main team, and the main team will become the reserve team. The rest of the games will be up to you."

"Yes, principal."

After hearing Jing Hongchen's words, the original players also perked up. Although they had lost their starting positions, they would definitely get the rewards if they won. How could they not be excited?

"If that's the case, then Ma Rulong and the rest of you in the reserve team won't have to hide your strength anymore, and Liuxing and the main team should try to hide your strength until we face Shrek Academy. This time, we're going to bring them down from their pedestal."

There was a gleam in Ma Lao's eyes as he spoke in a deep voice.

"Yes, Mr. Ma."

Seeing the students' high morale, Jing Hongchen smiled with satisfaction and said, "This year's Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition is different from previous ones. Due to the spread of remote communication soul guides, this competition will be broadcast live across the continent, and hundreds of millions of people will be watching it."

Upon hearing this, Ma Rulong and others were shocked. Previous competitions were all held in the capitals of the four empires, with a maximum of only tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of viewers. So what did it mean to broadcast it live across the entire continent?
Fighting under the watchful eyes of most people on the continent, the thought of this put Ma Rulong and others under great pressure.

"Interesting, isn't this the perfect stage for us to appear?"

Liu Xing smiled, and Xiao Hongchen also smiled and said, "That's right. Defeat Shrek Academy in front of the entire continent's people and let the entire continent know that our Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy is the best academy on the continent."

Jing Hongchen nodded, but he didn't say that when the time comes, it won't just be the people on their side of the Douluo Continent who will be paying attention to this game.

They can send people to the other side, and the other side can also send people to their side. As for the long-distance communication soul guide device that can communicate across dimensions, the other side will never give up. Therefore, the Sun-Moon Empire has long been prepared for the other side to obtain the long-distance communication soul guide device.

However, this was also within their expectations, and even acquiesced to, because people in the other world were not necessarily all enemies.

Their Sun-Moon Empire is hostile to the former Douluo Three Kingdoms and Shrek Academy on this continent, and can only cooperate with the evil soul masters hiding in the shadows. So, why can't people from other dimensions cooperate?
As long as there are common interests, humans can cooperate with soul beasts, let alone people from other dimensions who are also humans.

At the beginning, weren't the people of the Sun-Moon Empire also, to some extent, people from other dimensions for the people of Douluo Continent?
