Douluo Dalu: Golden Spirit Tree

Chapter 116: Outer Court Selection, Bet

Moon's words were a warning, but in Lin Yi's opinion, they were more like a reminder.

No matter which one it was, it had no impact on Lin Yi, because Lin Yi knew very well what he was doing. Lin Yi always had his own bottom line in doing things. The fact that light had not abandoned him and the God of Light had not blamed him was proof of this.

But Lin Yi didn't blame Moon for what he said. After all, Moon's misunderstanding of Lin Yi was due to information asymmetry.

But Lin Yi had no way to tell Moon the truth, or rather, Lin Yi could not afford the consequences of telling Moon the truth, so Lin Yi could only let Moon have such suspicion.

Because, Lin Yi was certain that Moon just disapproved of some of Lin Yi's actions, but did not think that Lin Yi was a wicked person. In Moon's eyes, Lin Yi was still the best candidate to be entrusted to Shrek, but he still needed more guidance.

Therefore, Lin Yi was very calm. After Moon's reminder, Lin Yi's daily life did not change at all. But it was this normality that made Moon feel more at ease.

After all, if it had changed, it would mean that in Lin Yi's heart, he really felt that he had done something wrong. Now that it has not changed at all, it means that Lin Yi has a clear conscience.

Two days later, during a practice session with the regulars, Chen Zifeng said mysteriously, "It looks like today is the day for the reserve team selections. Should we go watch the fun?"

"Let's go!" Lin Yi immediately agreed.

Chen Zifeng was overjoyed, but still looked at Ma Xiaotao. After all, she was the captain.

Ma Xiaotao nodded and said, "Then let's go and see if the students from the outer courtyard can support Shrek's glory."

The seven of them immediately used their own methods to leave the Sea God Island. A moment later, they arrived at the outer courtyard fighting spirit area.

Lin Yi asked, "Does anyone know what the selection criteria are?"

Chen Zifeng chuckled, "The selection method for the outer courtyard is basically fixed, just one, a free-for-all."

"A big brawl?"

"That's right. A group of people engage in a melee, and the last seven remaining are the reserve players."

"So hasty?"

"Who knows? But those who can survive the melee to the end generally have good cultivation and combat skills, otherwise they won't be able to make it to the end."

Lin Yi nodded silently, okay, as long as you are happy.

"Here I come," Dai Yuheng suddenly said.

Afterwards, Lin Yi saw a group of core disciples from the outer courtyard gradually gathering. Beibei, Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan whom he had seen last time, as well as Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao were all among them.

It wasn't until he saw Dai Huabin that a strange look appeared in Lin Yi's eyes. Huo Yuhao and his companions had been ambushed, and the academy had naturally launched an investigation. Furthermore, Lin Yi had left everyone alive, so the truth of the matter would soon be revealed. It was the White Tiger Duke's second son who had orchestrated this operation, and the reason was ridiculous: he felt aggrieved at the humiliation he had suffered at Huo Yuhao's hands...

Lin Yi had nothing to say about this. This little white tiger was indeed talented, but his brain was much worse than that of the big white tiger next to him.

Lin Yi didn't know how to deal with the follow-up, but he thought that the White Tiger Duke Mansion behind the little white tiger would pay a heavy price.

It is not good for the White Tiger Duke's Mansion to have a good relationship with Shrek. For many years, no one has dared to ambush and kill in Shrek City, especially against Shrek's own students. If no action is taken, then what prestige does Shrek have?

Especially after Moon, the Extreme Douluo's injury, stabilized.

But in short, Dai Huabin, the little white tiger, has lost his identity as the heir. Looking at Dai Yuheng beside him, Lin Yi couldn't help but sigh, this is called winning by doing nothing. Sometimes, to get the final victory, you don't need to be so outstanding, as long as you don't make mistakes, those competitors will kill themselves.

Dai Yuheng felt a little uncomfortable under Lin Yi's gaze and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"

Lin Yi shook his head and looked towards the fighting arena, "It's about to begin."

I saw Old Song's figure appear in the scene at some point, and he glanced in the direction of Lin Yi and the others, but didn't say much.

She just announced the rules to these core disciples of the outer courtyard, which means there are no rules, you can fight as you please, and she will take action when there is danger.

Then, he announced the start of the assessment.

The people hiding in the dark became more interested. Chen Zifeng said excitedly, "Let's play a round. Who are you guys rooting for?"

"Let's bet on the final result and see who has the most correct guesses." Lin Yi suggested.

"Okay, okay, let's do as you say."

Looking at the people who had already started fighting in the arena, Lin Yi spoke quickly, "Beibei, Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, as well as Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, these are my guesses."

The others also reported their candidates in turn. Beibei and Xu Sanshi basically both made choices, but only Lin Yi chose Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong.

Chen Zifeng was just about to tease Lin Yi when he saw the situation on the field change drastically.

As Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong hugged each other, the phantoms of the Goddess of Light Butterfly and the Spirit Eyes merged into one, and a magnificent golden road enveloped most of the contestants, turning them into golden statues.

Only Beibei, Huo Yuhao and seven others were still able to fight, and the game was over.

Old Song also flew over hurriedly, because several students with weaker cultivation who were hit by Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's martial soul fusion technique were in danger. Old Song shot out several soul powers in succession to remove the effects of the martial soul fusion technique.

The sudden end of the battle not only shocked Old Song, but also Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yuheng and others who were hiding in the dark. No one had expected that in this battle, the decisive role was not played by Beibei and other four-ringed Soul Masters, but by Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, two great Soul Masters and Soul Lords, who decided the outcome in one fell swoop.

Lin Yi showed a smug look on his face and stretched out his hand in front of several people.

Chen Zifeng muttered as he slapped a few gold soul coins into Lin Yi's hand, "You must have known about their specialness in advance, so you cheated." The others also slapped a few gold soul coins into Lin Yi's hand, with some indignation on their faces.

Lin Yi threw the gold soul coins, looking very proud. "Intelligence is also one of the keys to victory or defeat. It's your fault for not paying attention to it in advance."

Afterwards, Lin Yi and the others left quietly. Old Song glanced in their direction, still not paying any attention. He continued to explain to Beibei and the others the purpose of this assessment, which was to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition as a reserve team.

Half a month later, Lin Yi and others once again came to the fighting arena in the outer courtyard.

But this time, they did not come secretly, but were brought here by Old Song.

Not long after, Beibei and others also arrived here.

Today is the first day that the regular players and the reserve players officially meet.

Lin Yi rarely wore a blood-red inner school uniform, which made his figure look more upright and more oppressive.

Soon, the seven people from both sides stood face to face.

Elder Song then introduced: "In about ten days, the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition will begin. It's also time for you to meet and get to know each other."

"You are the regular and reserve players for this competition. Before participating, you need to have a basic understanding of each other's abilities and strengths..."

After a long speech, Mr. Song asked everyone to introduce themselves.

Beibei immediately took a step forward.

"Beibei, fifth grade in the outer courtyard, forty-sixth level of the Battle Soul Sect."

Then, "He Caitou, fourth year in the outer courtyard, soul guidance department, fourth-level soul instructor."

"Xu Sanshi, fifth grade in the outer courtyard, forty-third level defense system fighting soul sect."

"Jiang Nannan, fifth grade in the outer courtyard, forty-level agility attack type War Soul Sect."

It can only be said that Jiang Nannan is worthy of being the most beautiful girl in the outer courtyard. The moment she appeared, Chen Zifeng and Dai Yuheng's eyes lit up immediately, which made Xu Sanshi nervous.

"Xiao Xiao, second year student in the outer courtyard, a level 28 control-type combat master."

Even though they had already seen the outer court trials, the members of the main selection team still frowned when they heard that Xiao Xiao was only at the second ring level. Compared to Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, who had special abilities, they really didn't see anything special about Xiao Xiao.

"Huo Yuhao, second year student in the outer courtyard, level 29 Control-type combat great soul master."

Yes, level twenty-nine. After absorbing the power of the Ice Emperor, and then absorbing his second soul ring, and then being given a soul-raising pill by Lin Yi, and after taking a piece of ten-thousand-year-old whale glue, Huo Yuhao's soul power has reached level twenty-nine, just one step away from becoming a Soul Master.

Finally, "Wang Dong, second year of the outer courtyard, level 33 strong attack system combat soul master." There was a hint of pride in his voice. After absorbing the soul bone and Lin Yi's soul-raising pill, Wang Dong's soul power also increased.

After the introduction of the reserve players, the next step is naturally the regular players.

As the team leader, Ma Xiaotao immediately stepped forward with a calm expression.

"Inner Court, Ma Xiaotao, level 69 Strong Attack System Battle Soul Emperor", that's right, level 69. As the influence of Ma Xiaotao's evil fire becomes weaker and weaker, Ma Xiaotao's value as the academy's number one genius in hundreds of years is gradually emerging. Ma Xiaotao, who is able to practice freely, is now not far from being a Soul Saint.

Ma Xiaotao is only nineteen years old now. It can be said that before she turns twenty, she will become a Soul Saint and become another admired figure in the history of Shrek Academy.

Everyone in the reserve team was secretly shocked. They certainly knew what it meant to have this level of soul power at this age. It could no longer be described simply as terrifying.

"Inner Courtyard, Dai Yueheng, Level 64 Attack System Soul Emperor."

The reserve team members were shocked again. Although this person's soul power level was not as high as Ma Xiaotao's, the fact that he could cultivate to the Soul Emperor level before the age of 20 was enough to explain his problem.

Only Huo Yuhao's eyes changed when he heard this name, and then he lowered his head slightly to hide his inner emotions.

Dai Yueheng saw a hint of coldness in his eyes when he saw Huo Yuhao. It was obvious that he had known about the conflict between Huo Yuhao and Dai Huabin in the past few days, but it was also obvious that the eldest son of the White Tiger Duke was still unaware of what good things his younger brother had done.

"Inner Court, Chen Zifeng, level 57 Strong Attack System Battle Soul King." Warm and kind, the reserve team members couldn't help but feel a liking for this senior when they saw him.

"Inner Court, Xixi, fifty-sixth level Agility Attack Type Battle Soul King." Compared to the dazzling ones in front, this one looks a bit ordinary. Without even hearing about this senior sister's equally strong soul power, the reserve team members can easily ignore this senior sister. This is why Lin Yi said that this senior sister has no sense of existence. But this is the terrifying thing about a true Agility Attack Type Soul Master.

"Inner Court, Ling Luochen, fifty-fifth-level Control-type Battle Soul King", a cold and aloof beauty.

"Inner Court, Gong Yang Mo, fifty-nineth-level auxiliary combat soul king," a handsome man, somewhat weak, and the most timid one among all Lin Yi.

Finally, there was Lin Yi, "Inner Court, Lin Yi, Level 49 Freedom System Battle Soul Sect." Lin Yi's soul power was the lowest among the regulars, but in the reserve team, except for He Caitou, everyone knew how terrifying he was. He Caitou also knew a little about Lin Yi's situation after being told by Huo Yuhao, and there was a look of horror in his eyes that was hard to conceal.

After the introduction, Mr. Song spoke again.

"The fastest way for you to get to know each other is naturally to play against each other, but this is only the first day, so we'll be gentle and only play three games."

"In the first match, Lin Yi, you will play against the reserve team. Any problem?"

"No problem," Lin Yi answered easily.

Song Lao said unhappily: "I didn't ask you, members of the reserve team, do you have any questions?"
