Douluo: Wuhun Eats Iron Beast, Never Become a Slave

Chapter 155 Shortcuts aren't so easy to take!
The ambitious Dugu Yan originally wanted to take advantage of this Soul Master Competition to show off. After all, Zhao Mu, as a seeded team, would directly participate in the finals, so she couldn't let herself have a good chance to show off in the preliminaries.

Now look what happened. He did manage to make a name for himself, but he ended up giving Zhao Mu free publicity.

If it were any other team, they would definitely receive applause and everything, but they are the second team of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy. Basically, everyone knows that the second team is not as strong as the first team, so no matter how well the second team performs, people will know that the first team is still above them.

Even if you perform like Dugu Yan, the more outstanding you are, the more astonishing people become, and the more curious people become about the team's strength.

Slightly annoyed, Dugu Yan immediately returned to the academy's rest area, and the rest of the Tiandou Royal Academy students followed her.

Dugu Yan's performance not only shocked the audience and students from other academies, but also the entire Tian Dou Royal Academy.

They vaguely remembered that when Dugu Yan returned to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy after her training outside, she was only a five-ring Soul King. However, it seemed that her Soul Power level had already reached level sixty, and she only needed to absorb one more Soul Ring to break through to the Soul Emperor level.

At that time, Qin Ming wanted to hunt suitable spirit rings for Dugu Yan, but he was refused.

Good heavens, it seems Dugu Yan has been holding back a lot of trouble.

Today, as the opening ceremony, there was only this one match. So, as the students from Tiandou Royal Academy and Shrek Academy left the stage, the audience also began to disperse.

Today is just the beginning of the qualifiers; the intense and compact round-robin stage will officially begin tomorrow.

The 28 teams in the Tiandou division will then face off in pairs, a process that will last for nearly a month, until each team has played all 27 of their matches!
Of course, Shrek Academy is an exception, having been suspended for two games and then losing one. The two suspended games will result in an automatic loss, so Shrek Academy essentially starts with three losses!

Currently, in the team rankings, the second team of Tiandou Royal Academy is in first place, while Shrek Academy is ranked twenty-eighth.

According to the rules, the Tiandou Division has a total of five qualifying spots. If Shrek Academy wants to advance, it can only afford to lose one more game. In theory, this is the only way to advance!
Just as the group from the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy returned to the rest area, an uninvited guest arrived.

It was Ning Fengzhi who had come down from the VIP seats early on.

Upon seeing Ning Fengzhi appear in the rest area of ​​the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, a strange glint flashed in Emperor Xueye's seemingly warm smile.

Salas's eyes narrowed, and he muttered angrily, "Shameless old man!"

Ning Fengzhi was naturally unaware of the reactions of Emperor Xueye and Salas. Perhaps he could have guessed it with his intelligence, but he didn't care at the moment.

Instead, they took care of the members of the second team of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.

"I am Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. All of you from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, your performance today has been outstanding..."

As Ning Fengzhi was speaking, Yu Feng, the blabbermouth from Tiandou Academy, blurted out as usual, "Wasn't it all the captain's doing today? What did we do?"

Ning Fengzhi: "..."

Ning Fengzhi's stiff expression vanished in an instant; no wonder he is the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!

Ning Fengzhi's gaze fell on Dugu Yan, and he smiled slightly, saying, "Congratulations. I didn't expect that you could obtain a 100,000-year soul ring at such a young age and with such strength. It seems that it won't be long before you inherit your grandfather's title of Poison Douluo. Speaking of which, I have some connection with your grandfather, Poison Douluo."

After obtaining the 100,000-year soul ring of the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass, perhaps due to the influence of the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass, Dugu Yan became somewhat cold, except for Wei Yi.

"Really? I'm sorry, I haven't heard Grandpa mention it."

Ning Fengzhi: "..."

"Haha, I met with your grandfather and Zhao Mu a while ago..." Ning Fengzhi said, then looked at Ye Lingling beside him: "You must be the support-type Soul Master of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, right?" After Ye Lingling nodded slightly, Ning Fengzhi continued: "I heard that your Martial Soul is the Nine-Hearted Begonia? The Nine-Hearted Begonia is the rarest and most unique Martial Soul in the world, and my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School happens to have a collection of books related to the Nine-Hearted Begonia. If you are interested, you are welcome to visit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School at any time."

No sooner had Ning Fengzhi finished speaking than Ye Lingling honestly shook her head: "Not interested."

Ning Fengzhi: "..."

What's the use of just having a collection of books? Can they help me evolve my martial soul into the Ten-Heart Begonia? In the end, I still have to rely on Zhao Mu.

Ye Lingling clenched her small fist secretly, thinking to herself.

As the awkward conversation continued, more and more spectators left the Great Soul Arena. Dugu Yan, having tidied everything up in the rest area, then prepared to leave.

"Sect Leader Ning, I'm sorry, we have to leave."

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi could only nod awkwardly and step aside.

After Ning Fengzhi left, the Sword Douluo guarding him couldn't help but laugh and said, "Fengzhi, since you became the sect leader, this is probably the worst you've ever been at recruiting others."

Ning Fengzhi shook his head with a wry smile: "Uncle Jian, you're too kind. It seems that if we want to recruit them, we'll have to work on Zhao Mu. If we can recruit Zhao Mu, these two won't be difficult to recruit."

……

That night.

Compared to the hustle and bustle of Tiandou City, the Tiandou Royal Academy is undoubtedly much quieter at night.

The considerations behind the Tian Dou Royal Academy's initial choice of a location outside the city are now fully evident.

Zhao Mu was even more unusually summoned back to the academy by the Dream God Chair, reportedly because Emperor Xue Ye of the Heaven Dou Empire wanted to meet him after the preliminary rounds the next day.

Therefore, Zhao Mu did not stay at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well at this moment, but instead stayed in his own college dormitory.

Sitting cross-legged on the couch, Zhao Mu was rapidly cultivating his soul power using his time acceleration skill.

Although my soul power level is currently stuck at level 80, the soul power gained through cultivation can be accumulated.

With the acceleration of the time skill, Zhao Mu's soul power circulated rapidly, and his whole body was sometimes rosy and sometimes pale. If others saw this, they would probably be shocked.

Zhao Mu, who was cultivating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. Immediately afterwards, Zhao Mu shouted towards the outside, "Who goes there!"

Zhao Mu received no response, only the creaking sound of the door opening, and then a familiar figure appeared inside.

Her long black hair cascaded over her shoulders, her face was slightly lowered, and she was about 1.7 meters tall. She had fair skin and a well-built figure, and wore a tight black leather jacket and pants. However, in contrast to her hot body, her expression was very cold, a kind of aloofness from the bottom of her heart, unlike Dugu Yan.

The Netherworld Cat, Zhu Zhuqing!

P.S.: There's an inspection at the company tomorrow, so I was extremely busy today. I worked overtime at noon and in the evening, and my mind is a mess. I need to take a break and finish Chapter Two when I have time.

Sorry sorry!
