Douluo Dragon King: Martial Soul Spring and Autumn Cicada, Lord of Time

Chapter 74 A Second Blossom

The first battle has ended.

Zhao Tao returned to the waiting area.

Waiting for the next round of battle.

At this moment, Gu Yue had also finished the battle and returned to Zhao Tao's side.

Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, Wang Jinxi, and Zhang Yangzi were in other competition areas.

Therefore, the students in Class Zero also parted ways for the time being.

As for Xu Xiaoyan, she is a pure control-type Soul Master, so participating in individual battles is not very meaningful for her.

Therefore, she chose to come and watch Zhao Tao and Gu Yue's match.

"Captain, Sister Gu Yue, how's the battle going?"

Looking at Gu Yue and Zhao Tao, who returned at almost the same time, Xu Xiaoyan asked them curiously.

"Killed him in one strike."

Hearing Xu Xiaoyan's words, Zhao Tao replied with a smile.

"Pretty much, the other side isn't qualified to make me use my second move."

With a shrug, Gu Yue replied casually.

Clearly, the fight just now had bored her.

that's it.

Zhao Tao, Gu Yue, and Xu Xiaoyan waited in the audience for the next match.

soon.

After a packed schedule of five matches, the morning's games have come to an end.

In the following four matches, Zhao Tao's opponents were not particularly strong.

Apart from one Soul Master, the others are all second-ring Great Soul Masters.

They were all taken away before they could force Zhao Tao to use his second sword strike.

As for Gu Yue's opponents, they were two Soul Masters and three Great Soul Masters.

Gu Yue effortlessly secured five consecutive kills.

After finishing their morning's battle, Zhao Tao, Gu Yue, and Xu Xiaoyan returned to the hotel together.

He then exchanged his morning's results with Tang Wulin and the other three who arrived shortly afterward.

Unlike Zhao Tao and Gu Yue's perfect record.

In the morning's matches, Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi both won three out of five matches, Tang Wulin won two out of five matches, and only Xie Xie achieved a record of four out of five matches.

It can be said that, apart from Xie Xie, who still retains a faint hope of advancing.

It is almost impossible for Wang Jinxi, Zhang Yangzi, and Tang Wulin to advance to the top 32.

After all, there are hundreds of participants in each region.

However, there were only four spots available for the general admission category.

Only by winning all ten of their matches can a team hope to advance to the regular level.

A player who wins nine out of ten matches only has a perfect record when there are fewer than four players with a perfect record in the region.

Only then will there be hope of competing in tiebreakers for the remaining general qualification spots.

It's almost fair to say that there was only a theoretical chance of advancing. Zhao Tao wasn't surprised by this result.

After all, although Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi's martial soul fusion skill "Dark Eagle Dragon" can fight against opponents of higher levels.

However, their actual abilities are only so-so.

Although his skills have greatly improved after Wu Changkong's training.

It can certainly handle opponents of the same level with ease.

However, when faced with a Soul Master or a Soul Master who can counter their own Martial Soul, they will still be defeated.

Losing two games due to an age disadvantage is normal.

As for Xie Xie, although he possesses twin martial souls, his individual strength surpasses that of Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi.

But against a Soul Master, they have little chance either.

His four victories were simply due to good luck; the opponents he faced were weaker than Zhang and Wang.

In Zhao Tao's view, Tang Wulin's achievement of winning two matches was nothing short of a miracle.

After all, Tang Wulin, who only possessed the cultivation of a Soul Master and had not yet awakened the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King, was simply not good enough in such a battle.

He was able to win two matches, which was mostly because he encountered enemies whose power was countered by Tang Wulin's, so he was relatively lucky.

"Brother Tao, Sister Gu Yue, it seems that only you two can enter the second stage of the individual competition."

Upon hearing about Zhao Tao and Gu Yue's perfect record, Tang Wulin's eyes were filled with envy.

"Don't worry, Wu Lin, we'll show the spirit of Class Zero and restore the glory of Donghai Academy. Gu Yue and I will do our duty!"

Zhao Tao reached out and patted Tang Wulin on the shoulder, offering words of comfort with a smile.

After a two-hour break at noon,

At 3 PM, the team-based Soul Master competition officially began.

This time, both the first team of Donghai Academy, consisting of Gu Yue, Zhao Tao, and Xie Xie, and the second team of Donghai Academy, consisting of Zhang Yangzi, Wang Jinxi, and Tang Wulin, are in the same competition zone.

Compared to individual competitions and seven-on-seven team competitions.

The participants in the three-on-three team competition were undoubtedly much weaker.

This is because strong students tend to participate in the more popular and rewarding seven-person team competitions.

Only teams with insufficient numbers or weaker substitutes will participate in the three-person team competition.

This is precisely why Long Hengxu strongly urged Class Zero to participate in the three-person team competition.

After all, on the field, people often only remember the champion and rarely remember the runner-up.

Even winning the championship in a three-person team competition has a much greater publicity effect than reaching the quarterfinals or semifinals in a seven-person team competition.

After waiting a moment.

Then it was the turn of Zhao Tao's team, Donghai Academy, to play.

Their opponents, on the other hand, came from the Intermediate Soul Master Academy in Ocean City.

Ocean City is a true third-tier city.

Although it is much larger than Aolai City, where Zhao Tao originally lived, the overall level of the Soul Masters is basically at the level of just participating in the competition.

Soon, Zhao Tao, Gu Yue, and Xie Xie stood on the arena.

Opposite them, three students from Ocean City also stepped onto the arena.

They looked significantly older than Zhao Tao and the others, mostly around fourteen or fifteen years old.

Upon seeing Zhao Tao and the other two, the three contestants from Ocean City couldn't help but show joy on their faces, with the corners of their mouths slightly upturned.

However, the smiles on their faces froze instantly after the referee announced the start of the match.

As the countdown ended, two purple soul rings had already risen around Zhao Tao and Gu Yue!

A thousand-year-old soul ring... What kind of monster is this?!

Looking at the spirit rings on Zhao Tao and Gu Yue, the three students from Ocean City all gaped, gasped, and were filled with shock.

At that moment, Gu Yue's first soul ring flashed, and his first soul skill, Elemental Tide, was activated.

The next moment, Gu Yue seemed to transform into a "magic machine gun".

Endless fireballs, ice spikes, wind blades, meteors, and light bombs swept towards the three soul masters from Ocean City.

Faced with such a terrifying attack.

The three idiots from Ocean City, who were already somewhat stunned, couldn't react at all and could only hastily put up a fight.

Of course, their resistance was futile.

In just a few breaths, their barely held-up defensive line began to crumble.

Upon seeing this, the referee responsible for maintaining order immediately blew his whistle to stop the game and declared Class Zero the winner.

In the two team battles that followed, Zhao Tao and the other two players basically replicated the first battle's overwhelming success.

Although both battles featured enemies at the Soul Master level.

But in the face of Zhao Tao and Gu Yue, two pillars of strength, they were basically powerless to resist and surrendered.

Xie Xie, on the other hand, completely slacked off for two whole rounds, not even managing to touch the enemy before the battle was over.

Thus, Zhao Tao and Gu Yue replicated their morning's performance, scoring twice and maintaining their perfect record in the team competition once again.
