Douluo Continent: The Eternal Dawn

Chapter 84 Final

The most expensive food stalls in every cafeteria of the Foreign Languages ​​Department are open all day, but these top-tier dishes are the only ones that the department loses money.

Freshmen like Dai Huabin, Xie Huanyue, and Ning Tian, ​​who reached the three-ring Soul Venerable cultivation level upon entering the academy, are not only talented and hardworking, but also come from prominent families. From a young age, their families have provided them with the best support in terms of both elixirs and diet.

Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo ordered three of the most premium dishes at the window in advance, and the meal cost them nearly ninety gold soul coins.

"Captain, we were able to eliminate those teams led by Soul Masters and get here, which is basically all thanks to you. My sister and I will treat you to lunch today." Lan Luoluo smiled and expressed her gratitude to Ye Xixuan on behalf of the two sisters.

Having reached the final round of the freshman assessment, they were guaranteed a reward from the academy. And according to Shrek Academy's past practices, they would at least receive the status of core disciples of the outer academy.

Moreover, the final rounds of the freshman assessments are always attended by high-ranking members of the academy, making this opportunity to showcase oneself even more important than the status of a core disciple of the outer academy.

Ye Xixuan smiled gently, not refusing Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo's kindness.

"You're welcome. We're a team after all."

The cafeteria was empty at the moment, and the three of them found a seat and sat down.

During this time, Lan Susu couldn't help but ask Ye Xixuan with a slightly shy expression, "Captain, what do you think of Tang Wutong from Class 1 of the freshmen?"

"Compared to her, I actually prefer spending time with you sisters." Ye Xixuan shook his head calmly, but his words rekindled a glimmer of hope in the two sisters, filling them with a sense of panic.

Even the more outgoing Lan Luoluo, along with her sister Lan Susu, blushed and lowered their heads, stirring the fragrant thousand-year-old sea dragon marrow soup with spoons. Their synchronized actions gave the illusion of mirroring each other.

The top-tier dishes in the outer academy's canteen, besides being available for purchase, are also provided free of charge to the core disciples of the outer academy, and are extremely nutritious. For example, the Sea Dragon Marrow is taken from a thousand-year-old sea dragon that possesses a trace of dragon blood in the ocean; to hunt such a soul beast, one must venture deep into the sea.

Leaving aside the risks of venturing deep into the sea to hunt thousand-year-old sea spirit beasts, the cost of transporting them from the coastal areas to Shrek City, located in the heart of the continent, would probably be more than ninety gold spirit coins.

Another top-tier dish is braised 100-year-old earth dragon tendons, with an enticing color and a tender, delicious texture. 100-year-old earth dragons are a typical example of power-type soul beasts, and their combat strength is among the best of their kind.

This alone is enough to show the depth of Shrek Academy's resources. Even the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is far inferior to Shrek Academy in terms of food and accommodation.

Just then, a series of crisp footsteps came from the entrance of the cafeteria.

These were Tang Wutong and two others who had also advanced to the final round of the freshman assessment.

As soon as she entered the cafeteria, Tang Wutong's gaze instantly locked onto Ye Xixuan, her red lips pressed tightly together. But this time, she didn't approach Ye Xixuan directly. Instead, she, Xiao Xiao, and another teammate each bought a top-tier dish and sat down at the next table.

Of the six people who made it to the final round of the freshman assessment, only Ye Xixuan was a male student.

The atmosphere in the cafeteria was unusually strange; it seemed that everyone had their own worries.

Only the petite Xiao Xiao would occasionally steal a shy glance at Ye Xixuan. As an absolute believer in appearance, she always believed that beauty was justice.

To outsiders, Tang Wutong and Ye Xixuan seem to have an inextricable relationship, but as Tang Wutong's roommate and teammate, how could she not know the truth?

It was clearly Tang Wutong who was pestering Ye Xixuan.

Xiao Xiao believes that her current strength is not as good as Tang Wutong's, but she also has her own pride. Why can't she compete with Tang Wutong? She will show her talent in the final.

The main theme is betraying your best roommate!

In silence, everyone finished dinner and returned to their respective dormitories to rest and recharge for the afternoon's final match.

When Huang Chu returned to his dormitory after class, he saw Ye Xixuan sitting cross-legged on his bed, meditating and cultivating. Understanding the situation, he kept quiet and did not disturb him.

Undeniably, after witnessing Ye Xixuan's terrifying talent and strength firsthand, a sense of awe took deep root in his heart.

The assessment area was as quiet as ever in the afternoon.

The final match was held in a location near the north stand of the assessment area, with the two teams standing on opposite sides of the field.

Before the competition even started, many teachers from the Foreign Languages ​​Department had already gathered in the stands, and even Cai Meier, the dean of the Martial Soul Department, was present.

Ye Xixuan's gaze, however, unconsciously fell on the white figure beside Cai Meier, who was none other than Zhang Lexuan, the senior sister of the inner courtyard, dressed in a plain white dress.

During this time, Zhang Lexuan has been in seclusion in the underground world of the Golden Tree, cultivating. The injuries she suffered from the backlash when she forcibly absorbed the Blood Moon Wolf King's soul ring and soul bone have now been fully recovered, almost half a year earlier than expected.

Considering that she still needed some time to consolidate her cultivation, Elder Mu simply appointed her as the vice dean of the Martial Soul Department, currently assisting Cai Meier in managing the outer courtyard.

Not only that, but Elder Xuan himself had also arrived, sitting alone at the highest point of the stands, a chicken leg in his left hand and a gourd of wine in his right. His disheveled appearance stood out from the others around him, but no one dared to say anything.

Du Weilun stood on the other side of Cai Meier and jumped down from the stands.

Although both are Soul Douluo with eight rings, the significance of his eight rings is completely different from that of Zhang Lexuan's eight rings.

At over fifty years old, Du Weilun's maximum potential is likely to be reaching the Title Douluo realm. Zhang Lexuan, on the other hand, is not yet twenty-five, possessing limitless potential and already a designated elder of the Sea God Pavilion. Her current position as the vice dean of the Martial Soul Department in the outer academy is merely for gaining experience and prestige. Ye Xixuan could clearly feel his senior sister watching him, and recalling the rumors circulating in the outer academy recently, he felt immense pressure.

At that moment, Du Weilen addressed the crowd in a deep voice: "Today, I will personally serve as the proctor and referee for the final round of the freshman assessment. Now, both sides shall take their places and announce their names to each other."

Upon hearing Du Weiren's words, both sides spontaneously moved to opposite sides of the field.

"Ye Xixuan".

"Lan Susu."

"Lan Luoluo."

Ye Xixuan and the other two introduced themselves first, while Tang Wutong and Xiao Xiao focused their attention entirely on Ye Xixuan.

"Tang Wutong".

"Xiao Xiao."

“Manzhu,” said another taciturn purple-haired girl beside Tang Wutong in a cold voice.

Once both sides were in position, Du Weiren slowly raised his right hand and then suddenly brought it down.

"Game start!"

The final venue has a diameter of over 100 meters. With such a distance between the two sides of the venue, it is almost impossible to create much pressure from the atmosphere.

Tang Wutong took a step forward, and a pair of blue butterfly wings instantly unfurled behind her. The color of the wingtips changed continuously from deep blue to azure to light blue, the entire wing surface resembling a clear blue sky inlaid with a string of bright halos. Both its shape and color gave it an unparalleled and impeccable beauty.

As three magnificent purple spirit rings rose from beneath her feet, Tang Wutong's figure soared into the air. The golden runes on her wings shone brightly, leaving the teachers on the platform mesmerized.

Looking down at the arena below, her stunningly beautiful face, combined with her dazzling martial spirit, made her seem like a noble goddess of light descending to earth, her proud and noble temperament seemingly innate.

As if responding to Tang Wutong's gaze, a pair of jet-black wings condensed and unfurled behind Ye Xixuan. With a slight flap, they rose to the same height as Tang Wutong, facing each other.

The details of each feather on the Fallen Wings are flawless, like the most perfect work of art, with a unique and bewitching visual appeal.

Given that both sides have the ability to fly, Duvellen deliberately did not restrict the flight altitude for this match.

The remaining four people in the arena also released their martial spirits.

Sisters Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo held hands, their long blue hair flowing behind them, and did not rush to launch an attack. After all, in a fixed arena like this, control-type battle spirit masters always held the absolute initiative.

On the other hand, Xiao Xiao can only be considered half a control-type battle spirit master, while Manzhu is the most disadvantaged agility-type battle spirit master.

As two yellow spirit rings appeared, Manzhu's body seemed to soften, and a layer of fine, dark green scales emerged on her skin. Her eyes turned the color of rubies, and her cold, vertical pupils were chilling.

As she charged forward, her body swayed from side to side, her movements swift and ethereal. A faint, dark green, serpentine silhouette appeared behind her.

Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo were startled, failing to immediately recognize Manzhu's martial soul. However, judging from the aura and speed it displayed, it was clearly much stronger than the Luo brothers they had encountered that morning.

"First Soul Skill, Net!" The two shouted in unison, their long blue hair floating behind them condensing into a dense net that enveloped the oncoming Manzhu.

An extremely bizarre scene unfolded: the hairnet had clearly covered Manzhu's body, yet her body seemed to be soft and boneless, emerging from the tiny gaps in the hairnet in an illogical manner.

Under the control of the Lan sisters, Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo, the hairnet swept in once again.

At that very moment, a soft, melodious tune suddenly began to play.

Xiao Xiao suddenly found herself holding a jade flute, which was quite long and decorated with lifelike phoenix reliefs.

It was none other than her second martial soul, the Nine Phoenixes Come to Ceremony Flute!
Xiao Xiao's two previously displayed yellow spirit rings have now become one, with a thick, emerald-green halo spreading outwards from her body.

Covered by this layer of emerald green halo, the speed at which the hair net swept around was slowed down considerably.

On the high platform, even Cai Meier, the dean of the Martial Soul Department, couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"Twin martial souls!"

"Since she possesses twin martial souls, why would you so hastily add a soul ring to the second martial soul?!" Wang Yan, the homeroom teacher of Class 1 of the freshmen, felt helpless and his face darkened. He had only just learned that Xiao Xiao possessed twin martial souls, and he was extremely frustrated.

"How could there be such short-sighted elders! What a waste of talent!"
