Douluo: Twin Origins, Suppressing the World

Chapter 158 Next

As many eyes converged, two groups of people approached from two different directions.

Ling Shuang led the team, sitting in the preparation area with her hands flat in front of her, her face calm and undisturbed.

The rest of the Star Luo Royal Academy team sat on the back two sides, their eyes burning with fighting spirit.

The Shrek Academy team members sat on the opposite side, their faces showing distress.

On the towering city wall, Xu Jiawei leaned on the armrest of his chair, propping his chin up with one hand, looking down with great interest, a strange smile playing on his lips.

"Duke, I heard that the two young masters are also in Shrek Academy's team this time. I wonder if they will make an appearance?"

"I am quite eager to see the demeanor of the two young masters."

Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger clan naturally sensed the sarcasm hidden in Xu Jiawei's words.

He just smiled awkwardly and said, "Yueheng was injured in an accident and probably won't be able to play, but Huabin should be able to play."

Dai Hao knew that Xu Jiawei was subtly mocking him.

As a duke of the Star Luo Empire, the fact that his two children were not at the Star Luo Royal Academy but at Shrek Academy must have aroused the dissatisfaction of Emperor Xu Jiawei.

In fact, he did have his own thoughts.

Therefore, when faced with Xu Jiawei's sarcasm, he could only laugh it off.

Whether it's because of injury that prevents them from playing or because they're afraid to play, they know in their hearts.

Xu Jiawei chuckled inwardly, but didn't show it on his face, only sighing with "regret":
"What a pity. I've heard about the young master before, but it seems I won't be able to see him at this competition."

Ha ha.

Duke Baihu remained silent, and Xu Jiawei did not continue speaking either, but the slightly upturned corners of his mouth could not be suppressed.

With all the students from both academies present, the competition officially began.

The first event was the individual competition.

Beibei stepped out from the Shrek Academy team.

Although they were prepared to lose, they still didn't want to lose too badly.

Beibei is determined to do everything in her power to take down one person from the Star Luo Royal Academy!

Blue arcs of electricity danced and flickered on his arm. Beibei rallied his spirits, his fighting spirit rekindled.

Meanwhile, the first individual player for the Star Luo Royal Academy team has also been selected.

Seeing the tall, slender figure slowly walk onto the stage, Bei Bei's expression gradually froze from fighting spirit.

"Ling...Ling Shuang?!"

Beibei looked at the person and exclaimed in surprise.

Snow-white hair, heterochromatic eyes, and a pale white robe that accentuated his tall, sword-like figure.

"Ling Shen!"

Ling Shuang's appearance brought the atmosphere of the entire arena to its peak.

Exclamations and cheers rose and fell.

The competition these past few days has brought Ling Shuang a lot of popularity, raising his reputation from the various colleges to the general public.

Some busybodies have ranked the participants in this competition.

As we all know, these lists, which are released by the public and made based on the will of the people, never really reflect strength, but they definitely reflect popularity.

Therefore, despite their previously unremarkable performance in the competition, Xiao Hongchen and his sister surpassed Ma Rulong, the captain of the Soul Emperor team, in the rankings because of their beautiful appearances.

Although the two siblings are no less capable than Ma Rulong, the general public is unaware of this.

Based on their current performance, Xiao Hongchen and his sister are definitely not as competitive as Ma Rulong, who is a Soul Emperor, in terms of strength alone.

Their ability to rank so high is entirely due to the popularity they attract with their good looks.

As the most dazzling person in this competition, Ling Shuang's strength and appearance are undoubtedly at the pinnacle.

As a result, he naturally gained a lot of popularity and undoubtedly became the top person on that list.

That's why the audience reacted this way when Ling Shuang came on stage.

The Star Luo Royal Academy faces off against Shrek Academy, known as the number one academy on the continent. The top-ranked player is the first to take the stage in the individual competition.

With all these elements combined, the audience's emotions were brought to their peak!

Only Beibei looked pale at this moment, and the cheers around him felt like stones pressing down on him.

I had hoped to at least give the academy a good start, but now it seems that's impossible.

Beibei never expected that Ling Shuang would be the first to appear in the individual competition.

After all, he never played the first match in those later games; he was always just the last one to make sure of the final appearance.

"Why?" Bei Bei stared intently at Ling Shuang, completely puzzled. "Why were you the first to go on stage this time?"

"Pfft." Hearing this, Ling Shuang was amused.

He looked at Beibei as if she were an idiot and asked, "What, is there a rule that says I can't be the first one on stage?"

Beibei really didn't put much thought into this question.

Indeed, Ling Shuang never goes on stage first; she always goes on as the finale.

But the problem is, this doesn't mean he can only be the last one to appear.

The rules have never stipulated that the captain cannot be the first to play.

Since she had already gone ahead with it, Beibei's question was completely pointless and actually put her at a disadvantage.

However, it was indeed intentional on his part that Ling Shuang would be the first to go on stage.

He promised Ma Xiaotao that he would defeat the Shrek team without holding back.

That's why he volunteered to be the first to go on stage.

Since he has agreed, he will personally fulfill his promise.

Among the audience

Ma Xiaotao, who had not appeared in the dressing room before, suddenly appeared among the audience.

She hadn't originally planned to come, but she changed her mind after accidentally hearing that the academy had drawn the Star Luo Royal Academy team.

She wanted to see how long these people who had replaced Ling Shuang could hold out under Ling Shuang's control.

As for whether this idea will cause Ma Xiaotao psychological problems.

She said no at all.

The fact that Dai Yueheng didn't play, and that Wang Yan didn't have anyone call her, already indicated that even if she went to the rest room, she wouldn't play.

Since that's the case, she naturally feels at ease and doesn't feel any guilt sitting aside and watching.

"Game start!"

As the referee's voice faded, the battle between Ling Shuang and Bei Bei officially began.

This time, Ling Shuang didn't stand still and wait for Bei Bei to make a move; instead, she chose to strike first!
Almost the instant the referee's voice fell, five bizarre spirit rings that did not conform to the standard spirit ring ratio appeared on Ling Shuang's body.

The scepter, shimmering with the light of destruction and life, was slightly raised.

Several dark purple fire blades flew swiftly toward Beibei.

This sudden attack made Beibei's pupils shrink abruptly.

Before his reason could process it, his body's instincts kicked in, causing him to summon the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex.

The arm, transformed into a ferocious dragon claw, instinctively rose, attempting to block the rapidly approaching fire blade formed from the Abyss Flame.

"boom!"

The fire blade collided with the dragon's claw, turning into flames that scattered in all directions.

The curtain of fire dissipated.

Beibei lay on the ground, her body charred black, and had lost consciousness.

A calm voice slowly rose.

"next."
