Douluo: Peerless Righteous Douluo

As he spoke, Xu Tianran turned to look at Jing Hongchen, "Master Hongchen, why do so many geniuses come from Shrek? Why don't I, Sun Yue, have such a genius?"

Jing Hongchen's short and fat body just sat there, his upper body leaning forward with difficulty, looking respectful, but he did not answer.

Xu Tianran's question was really hard to answer. Why not? How would I know why not? Those untalented ones weren't born by me.

These two kids of mine are both talented and capable.

Not as good as those monsters, but still a good choice.

As if he heard Jing Hongchen's thoughts, Xu Tianran turned around and continued to look at the two sides waiting to fight below.

"Master Hongchen, I heard that your grandson reached the Soul Saint realm ahead of time for this competition?"

Jing Hongchen was shocked and said quickly, "That's right. This child took a drug that squeezed his potential. His soul power will not be able to increase in the next five years. What a pity..."

It’s a pity that there are only three Soul Sages in their true and complete state in this competition, and two of them are confirmed to have 100,000-year soul rings.

Lin Yi, who had not been exposed, was a ruthless person who absorbed a ten thousand year soul ring with his first soul ring. No one would doubt that his seventh soul ring could not absorb a hundred thousand year soul ring.

With this calculation, it seems that his grandson's sacrifice was all in vain.

Xu Tianran nodded slightly, "Your grandson made such a sacrifice for the empire, the empire will not forget it. When the competition is over, I will order the court physician to go to the Red Dust Hall Master's residence and do everything possible to minimize the impact on your grandson.

Your grandson is such a genius, so we should focus on nurturing him. Hall Master, just rest assured."

This was exactly what Jing Hongchen was waiting for. Now that the ownership of the throne has been basically determined, it is time to take sides. Xu Tianran said this, but his intention was to reassure Jing Hongchen that the Hongchen family's status in Riyue would not change.

Jing Hongchen stood up and bowed as a token of thanks.

Xu Tianran waved his hand casually and looked intently at the competition stage below.

At this time, the battle between the Shrek team and the Sun and Moon team is finally about to begin.

Following the referee's call, contestants from both teams came on stage.

It turned out to be the captain of the Shrek team, Beibei, and the captain of the Sun and Moon team, Xiao Hongchen.

Both sides stood still, and as the referee called out "match begins," both summoned their martial spirits simultaneously...

Chapter 232 Lin Yi goes to battle

"Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, possess!"

"Three-legged golden toad, possessed!"

As soon as the referee announced the start, Beibei and Xiao Hongchen were possessed by their martial spirits at the same time.

Both sides looked at each other with complicated emotions.

In the last competition, Xiao Hongchen was already a team supporter. Although he was a member of the reserve team, his combat power was only second to the team captain Ma Rulong.

At that time, Beibei was a true member of the reserve team. If it weren't for Moon's order and Lin Yi's intention to train, he wouldn't even have the chance to play.

But now, Beibei and Xiao Hongchen stood opposite each other, with seven soul rings shining on their bodies. The blood-red seventh soul ring was so dazzling in Xiao Hongchen's eyes.

At this time, Beibei had also seen Xiao Hongchen's soul ring.

Two yellow, two purple, three black.

Seven rings!

Xiao Hongchen is also a seven-ring soul saint.

The people watching the game cheered when they saw this scene. Their Sun and Moon Team also had a genius who had reached the Soul Saint level!

But after seeing the comparison between Xiao Hongchen and Beibei's soul rings, the cheers gradually faded away without any need to stop them until they disappeared.

With the soul power shield blocking him, Xiao Hongchen couldn't hear the sounds outside, but he could see Beibei's soul ring more clearly than those people from the Sun and Moon.

He knew very well that he was able to become a Soul Sage because he took drugs that squeezed his potential, but what about Beibei?

Have you taken it too?

Xiao Hongchen, who had been an exchange student at Shrek for two years, knew that this was impossible.

Shrek's students have an indescribable pride, and they would never do such things as taking drugs to squeeze out their potential in order to gain strength in advance.

Pills without side effects, such as Xuanshui Pills and Shenghun Pills, are the limit of what Shrek students can accept. However, those pills are only useful for low-level soul masters and have no effect on soul emperors and soul saints.

Not to mention the hundred thousand year soul ring.

Only by diligently improving one's physical fitness and soul power can one absorb this kind of soul ring at the seventh ring.

Standing on the competition stage at this moment, Xiao Hongchen could hardly hide his complex emotions.

He guessed that Beibei would play in the first game, so he played first as well.

He wanted to see how big the gap was between him and Beibei, both of whom were Soul Saints. As for Lin Yi, Xiao Hongchen gave up with self-awareness.

Sometimes, we have to admit that there are differences between people.

To outsiders, he and Lin Yi are both geniuses, but only geniuses understand how big the gap is between themselves and Lin Yi.

In the battle five years ago, Lin Yi, with his fourth-ring cultivation, defeated seven members of the Sun and Moon Team and almost broke Xiao Hongchen's heart of Taoism.

Even with the current Beibei, Xiao Hongchen is not sure of winning.

In addition to the 100,000-year soul ring, there is also Beibei's own thunder attribute.

Beibei's Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus is a natural nemesis for golden beasts like the Three-legged Golden Toad.

But this was not a reason for Xiao Hongchen to be defeated without a fight. The moment the martial spirits of both sides possessed each other, countless gun barrels transformed from soul power extended out from Xiao Hongchen's body, and countless soul-guided lights poured towards Beibei madly.

Facing Xiao Hongchen's attack, Beibei's response was very simple.

The violent thunder became as gentle as water in his hands. The restless lightning arcs were condensed by Beibei into fine lightning lines, which formed a net and easily blocked Xiao Hongchen's attack.

Seeing that his attacks were all blocked, Xiao Hongchen did not hesitate. The countless gun barrels that appeared on his body suddenly merged into one, transforming into a huge gun barrel with a diameter of more than half a meter. He fired a shot and headed straight for Beibei's lightning net.

The power of this attack was quite impressive. Beibei's lightning net was only used to block the soul guide's light. Facing this attack, the lightning net immediately shattered, and Beibei's figure was exposed to this shot.

There was no panic at all. After all, Xiao Hongchen was a Soul Saint of the same level as himself, so Beibei would not be careless.

At the same time Xiao Hongchen launched this attack, the thunder on Beibei's body leaped up, and then the thunder gathered, and a thunder ball formed on Beibei's thick dragon claws. As Beibei punched out, the thunder ball collided with Xiao Hongchen's cannon.

Smoke and dust filled the air, then dissipated after a moment, revealing the two people unharmed.

Xiao Hongchen was about to attack again, but Beibei suddenly waved his hand to stop him.

"With our combined strength, if we really went all-out, even if we weren't both injured, the outcome wouldn't be good for either of us. I'm sure you're aware that with the strength of our two teams, it's almost impossible to determine the winner in the individual competition. The real deciding factor will come in the team competition.

If your hospital agrees, we can tie in the individual competition and then go directly to the team competition."

Beibei’s words made Xiao Hongchen a little moved.

After all, Beibei was telling the truth.

Shrek's strength is unfathomable. Although the members of the Sun and Moon Team are carefully selected, it is still unknown whether they can defeat Shrek.

What's more, the configuration of the Sun and Moon Team this time is to focus on team competitions.

The purpose of the individual competition is to preserve one's own combat power as much as possible, weaken the opponent, and directly start the team competition. Although there is no possibility of weakening the opponent, it also allows the strength of the Sun and Moon Team to be preserved as much as possible.

Xiao Hongchen turned his gaze towards the rest area of ​​his team and looked at his sister Meng Hongchen. The two siblings were in tune with each other, and Meng Hongchen told the other team members what Xiao Hongchen was thinking.

The six people discussed for a moment, and finally decided to follow Xiao Hongchen's idea and accept Shrek's challenge!

The leader of the Sun and Moon team also felt that starting the team competition directly might be a good choice for the Sun and Moon team. After all, their configuration this time is extremely suitable for team battles, and they also have the Hongchen brothers and sisters' martial soul fusion skills as their trump card.

Meng Hongchen told Xiao Hongchen the result. Xiao Hongchen felt relieved and looked at Beibei who was standing there quietly and even retracted his martial spirit, fully demonstrating his sincerity.

"Just as you said, if the individual competition is a tie, we will go straight to the team competition."

Afterwards, the two of them jointly submitted an application to the referee as captains of their respective teams.

The referee was only an eight-ringed Soul Douluo, so he didn't dare to make a ruling on such a matter on his own, so he had to report the situation.

The chief referee this time is a ninth-level soul engineer who specializes in defensive soul guides. This is why he was chosen as the chief referee this time.

This famous ninth-level soul guide is called the Unbreakable Shield, and his title is also named after it, Unbreakable Douluo, Zheng Zhan.

Zheng Zhan also reported the matter to the rostrum, and after getting the results, he used his soul power in his throat to announce the matter to everyone.

"The Sun-Moon Team and the Shrek Team applied to the referee for a draw in the individual competition and to directly start the team competition. After discussion and research by the competition organizers and the referee panel, they absolutely agreed to the application of the Sun-Moon Team and the Shrek Team. However, in order to ensure the fairness of the competition, if a draw in the individual competition is applied, both teams will not be able to obtain individual competition points, and the victory or defeat will be determined only by the result of the team competition."

Zheng Zhan looked at Xiao Hongchen and Beibei. "For the match between the Sun Moon Team and the Shrek Team, I, the chief referee, want to confirm once again: are you sure you want to tie the individual competition and proceed directly to the team competition?"

Beibei immediately replied: "OK."

Xiao Hongchen looked back at his teammates, confirmed his expression, and then turned around and replied, "OK."

"Okay," Zheng Zhan nodded. "Well, I, Bupo Douluo Zheng Zhan, announce as the chief referee of this competition that the Sun Moon Team and the Shrek Team will have zero points in the individual competition, and the winner will be determined only by the five points in the team competition. This competition will be officiated by me personally. Both sides have one minute to prepare, and the team battle will begin in one minute."

Xiao Hongchen and Beibei each left the stage to discuss tactics.

Soon, one minute was up, and Zheng Zhan announced the entry of players from both teams, and the seven members of the Sun and Moon Team entered one after another.

Under everyone's shocked gaze, in the Shrek rest area, the person sitting in the front row stood up and walked step by step onto the competition stage.

Both sides stood still. Xiao Hongchen's face was grim, and he squeezed out two words from between his teeth:

"Lin Yi!"

Yes, in the team battle, the contestant on Shrek's side is Lin Yi.

There is only Lin Yi.

Whether it was the other participating teams in the rest area, the dignitaries watching the game on the rostrum, or the people of Sun and Moon who saw Lin Yi's figure appear on the soul guide screen, they all recognized Lin Yi's identity at the first moment.

The name "Ming Tu" back then really made Lin Yi's image penetrate into thousands of households. In addition, Shrek announced some time ago that Lin Yi would become the leader of the Golden Pavilion, which further spread Lin Yi's image.

Lin Yi is now famous all over the world, and he deserves the saying "Who in the world doesn't know you?"

Although Lin Yi has not appeared on the stage yet, the argument that Lin Yi is the strongest contestant in this competition has already spread.

Unexpectedly, Lin Yi would choose to fight in the team battle with the Sun and Moon Team.

Putting aside the strength, the status is unacceptable.

If he wins, Lin Yi is the current leader of Shrek's Golden Pavilion. In terms of status, he is among the top few in the entire continent. What's the big deal about defeating a few juniors?

If he loses, Shrek will really be nailed to the pillar of shame.

It was obvious that Lin Yi's participation in the battle was a thankless task.

Many people thought that although Lin Yi was also in the team this time, he was just sitting there and watching the game, and would not actually take any action.

But now, Lin Yi, standing on the competition stage, shattered their fantasy.

With two Soul Saints of Shrek in charge, it is basically impossible to defeat Shrek.

The thoughts of others had no effect on Lin Yi on the stage. Since he was standing on the stage, he didn't care about what others thought.

After glancing at Xiao Hongchen and the others opposite him, Lin Yi turned his gaze to Zheng Zhan.

"Referee, in the battle later, you just need to pay attention to protecting your Sun and Moon people, and don't worry about me."

The tone was a bit impolite, but Zheng Zhan could only agree.

Even if the leader of the Golden Pavilion scolded him to his face, he would have to endure it because their status was completely different.

Only then did Lin Yi look at Xiao Hongchen and the other seven people again.

"In the last competition, I defeated seven of you alone. This time, I will give you a chance to prove yourselves. I will not bully you. I will only use one move. If you can take it, I will admit defeat on behalf of Shrek in this battle."

Lin Yi's calm words were transmitted to everyone's ears through the soul guide screen.

The people on the rostrum did not react much. The win or loss of a round-robin match could not shake their minds.

Defeating Shrek Academy was indeed worth celebrating, but the prerequisite was defeating the entire Shrek team, not the current situation where Lin Yi's victory was almost a gift of charity.

But the Sun and Moon people in the audience didn’t think that deeply. When they heard Lin Yi’s arrogant words, they immediately shouted angrily.

"Sun and Moon Team, defeat him and let him know how powerful the Sun and Moon Team is!"

"Even if it's Shrek, he can't humiliate the sun and the moon like this!"

"We, Sun and Moon, are the strongest!"

……

Xiao Hongchen on the field could not hear the sounds outside, but he could hear Lin Yi's voice clearly. He stopped the infatuated Lin Yi before, but now he heard Lin Yi's arrogant words and wanted to kill Lin Yi.

Xiao Hongchen took a deep breath and said, "Please give me some advice, Pavilion Master Lin."

Lin Yi's lips curled up slightly, and Jing Hongchen on the podium also showed a bit of satisfaction in his eyes.
