Douluo: Marry Shui Binger, reward Puni Martial Soul

Chapter 77: Xue Wu's Worry, Xue Lingxiao's Comfort
The noise in the Tiandou Soul Fighting Arena gradually subsided, but the shock left by the thrilling duel just now continued to ferment in every corner.

Shrek Academy, the dark horse that rose to fame in this competition, was defeated by Tianshui Academy in such a tragic way, which surprised all the academies watching the game.

"I never thought Shrek Academy would lose so badly."

"Yeah, isn't that Tang San very strong? And how come Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's spirit fusion skills haven't been brought into play?"

"The key is Tianshui Academy! Their strength improvement is terrifying! The captain Shui Bing'er and the vice-captain Xue Wu are both Soul Kings!"

"What? Two Soul Kings?!"

This news spread like thunder in the rest areas of various colleges.

Although everyone thought that Tianshui College was quite powerful before, they never expected that they were so well hidden.

Having two Soul King-level warriors in the team at the same time is extremely rare in all previous Soul Master Competitions and is almost a standard for a champion!
"No wonder Shrek lost. Facing a strong team led by two Soul Kings, and with their support-type Soul Master absent, the loss was well deserved."

"I think the champion of this competition must be Tianshui College!"

"Well, I was hoping that Kamikaze or Thunder Academy would give it a try, but now it seems like there's little hope."

"But wasn't that captain from Tianshui College a bit too ruthless? He just... crippled that fat guy from Shrek?"

"Shh! Keep your voice down! Mistakes happen during competitions. Besides, it was that fat guy who spoke rudely first."

Discussions arose one after another, and the representatives from various colleges looked at Tianshui College with deep fear and a hint of indescribable awe.

The outcome of the championship, which was originally clear, now seems to have lost its suspense in advance.

At the same time, in Tianshui College's exclusive lounge, the atmosphere was not as relaxed as people outside had guessed.

"Sister! You were so awesome just now! So cool!"

Shui Yue'er excitedly ran to Shui Bing'er, her little face full of admiration, "That fat guy who keeps saying bad things deserves a lesson! Let's see if he dares to talk nonsense again!"

Shui Bing'er just nodded lightly, walked to the side and sat down, closing her eyes and began to regulate her breathing.

It seemed as if the stunning victory and the act of crippling Ma Hongjun were just trivial matters to her.

Several other female group members also gathered around with joy of victory on their faces.

"Yeah, that Captain just did was so satisfying!"

"Those people from Shrek Academy are too arrogant. They should be curbed!"

However, Xuewu was not as excited as the others. She frowned slightly and walked to Shui Binger, with a hint of worry in her tone:
"Bing'er, weren't you a little too impulsive just now? Ma Hongjun is from Shrek Academy after all, and he looks seriously injured, practically crippled."

"What if Shrek Academy seizes on this and complains to the organizing committee, accusing us of maliciously injuring others? Will that affect our eligibility for the competition?"

The smiles on the other members' faces immediately froze, and they all showed worried expressions.

"Sister Xuewu is right, Captain."

"Yeah, if we are really disqualified, won't all our previous efforts be in vain?"

"I heard that Shrek Academy's Dean, Flanders, is quite protective of his subordinates, and Yu Xiaogang is no pushover either. They definitely won't let this go."

"This is how to do ah?"

Gu Qingbo and the others started talking at once, and the joy of victory they had just felt disappeared.

They had put in tremendous effort to overcome all the obstacles, and with the championship so close at hand, being disqualified because of this accident would be a huge blow. Shui Yue'er was also a little panicked. She pulled Shui Bing'er's arm and said, "Sister, what Sister Xuewu said makes sense. How about we think of a solution?"

Faced with the worries of her teammates and her sister's nervousness, Shui Bing'er finally slowly opened her eyes.

Those ice-blue eyes were still calm. She swept her cold gaze over everyone and said lightly, "It's okay."

She stood up and walked to the window, looking out at the bustling Soul Fighting Arena. She added in a cold voice, "He was the one who provoked me first, so he deserves it. The rules of the Soul Master Competition allow for mistakes. If Shrek Academy wants to use this as an excuse to cause trouble, it depends on whether they have the ability to do so."

Although her tone was calm, the confidence and strength hidden beneath her cold exterior slightly eased the worried atmosphere in the lounge.

However, the doubts in Xuewu and others' minds have not been completely eliminated. After all, crippling a contestant is an extremely rare and serious matter in the history of the Soul Master Competition, and the attitude of the organizing committee is crucial.

They looked at Shui Bing'er's cold and aloof back, praying silently in their hearts that things would not develop to the worst.

Just as everyone in the Tianshui College lounge was in panic and worry, the door of the lounge was gently pushed open.

A figure walked in slowly. It was none other than Xue Lingxiao who had just been watching the battle on the high platform.

He had his usual relaxed smile on his face, as if he was just taking a casual walk after dinner.

"Your Highness!"

"Your Highness Ling Xiao!"

"Why are you here?"

Seeing Xue Lingxiao's appearance, the members of the Tianshui girl group, who were originally immersed in worries, suddenly felt like they had found their backbone. They stood up and surrounded him in surprise.

Shui Yue'er was the first to rush to him, saying in a somewhat coquettish tone, "Your Highness, did you see everything? We won! But my sister..."

As she spoke, she looked at Shui Bing'er anxiously, obviously still worried about the question Xuewu had just raised.

Xue Lingxiao's appearance instantly eased the originally tense atmosphere.

He glanced at the crowd, seeing the worry on their faces that had not yet completely dissipated, smiled, and waved his hand.

"But what? We won the game, so why are you all so sad?"

His voice was calm, yet carried a soothing power. "Don't worry, there's nothing to worry about."

Xue Lingxiao didn't look at anyone else, but walked straight to Shui Bing'er who was standing by the window.

Shui Bing'er turned around and looked at him with her ice-blue eyes, which seemed to contain a subtle questioning tone.

Xue Lingxiao raised his hand and, very naturally, as if comforting a well-behaved kitten, gently patted Shui Bing'er's soft blue hair.

"Well done," he praised, his tone gentle but affirmative. "That fat guy is outspoken and deserves a lesson. As for your eligibility for the competition, don't worry, there won't be any problems."

His actions and words were filled with a sense of self-assurance.

It seemed as if the possibility of being disqualified from the competition was not even within his consideration.

When Xue Lingxiao touched her head and praised her in front of everyone, Shui Bing'er's fair cheeks flushed slightly. She tilted her head a little uncomfortably, but did not avoid his hand. She just said "hmm" softly.

After hearing Xue Lingxiao's clear assurance, the other members of the girl group in the lounge finally felt relieved.
