Chapter 109: Shameless Shrek, Turning the Tables
The moment the voice appeared, the audience erupted in an uproar.
Suddenly changing the originally scheduled matches was already unusual. They were now having four consecutive matches between Kaiyuan Academy and Heaven Dou Royal Academy, with the last three featuring students challenging the other side's teachers across levels. The atmosphere was incredibly tense.
And in the instant the last word was uttered, a deafening wave of noise exploded, ten times louder than when Ning Fengzhi greeted Nangong Lingyun earlier.
Most of the audience below were just there for the spectacle, and besides curiosity, they were mostly excited and thrilled.
Many even started cheering loudly.
For them, this was a real treat. Such a grand spectacle meant their ticket price was more than worth it.
However, in the various private boxes on the second floor, the faces of the teachers and students from the Royal Academy, along with the three committee members, turned ashen.
A dignified instructor going up against students who were a whole rank or two lower than him—even if he won, there would be no glory in it.
If he drew or, God forbid, lost, he'd be utterly humiliated.
On the third floor,
Qian Renxue's smile faltered, and Prince Xuexing's face immediately turned frigid.
The Royal Academy bore the name of Heaven Dou, representing the face of the royal family and the empire. Especially with two royal members and a national master present, this was a blatant slap in the face.
No matter how good their composure, they couldn't simply accept this.
Only Ning Fengzhi's expression shifted slightly before quickly returning to calm.
He took the initiative to ask, "Young Master Nangong, what exactly happened?"
Nangong Lingyun was actually a little bewildered too, but he knew that if Xiao Wu, Huo Wu, and Jing Ling were all simultaneously angered, it must be a serious matter.
Especially Jing Ling. This composed team captain would never act rashly.
So, he ambiguously said, "We'll find out soon enough."
When Mo Tiancheng announced it, the ongoing soul battle on the stage had already declared a winner.
Different soul battle sessions required the venue to be checked or repaired.
It took about two minutes. With a hum, all the lights in the entire arena went out, leaving only a faint golden beam of light shining down from above.
In this beam of light, a young woman of eighteen or nineteen years old, with a perfect figure and appearance, was illuminated.
She wore a snow-white long dress, so dignified that it possessed a hint of holiness. A slight curve of her lips made her smile extremely captivating.
When she spoke, even Nangong Lingyun's emotions stirred slightly.
"Esteemed guests, this match will be hosted by Doudou."
That face, the outfit, the hairstyle, the accessories... all innocent. But the voice? It already possessed one-third of Diaochan's skill.
It was incredibly alluring, making the listeners' hearts itch with desire.
As soon as those words were spoken, the clamor and uproar of the crowd instantly transformed into a wave of cheers, like a roaring sea. Whistles filled the air.
"Doudou, I love you."
"Goddess Doudou, I finally see you again."
"Wife, haha, isn't my wife beautiful?"
Facing the simultaneous roar of twenty thousand people, Doudou's expression remained unchanged, not even the angle of her smile shifted.
Two snow-white wings extended from her back, and four soul rings, yellow, yellow, purple, and purple, appeared beneath her feet.
With an elegant posture, she flew up from the platform she was standing on, circling the arena while using the amplifier in her hand to introduce: "It is an honor for Doudou to once again host the matches on the main Soul Arena for all of you esteemed guests. I sincerely hope that you all enjoy yourselves tonight.
However, I must first apologize to the teams whose matches have been changed. The Soul Arena has prepared some small compensation for you, and I hope it meets your satisfaction."
"What is about to happen is a unique and special soul battle.
It will be a challenge launched by the Empire's most outstanding and powerful Heaven Dou Royal Academy team, who are all Silver Soul Badge recipients. They will be facing the recently renowned Kaiyuan Academy.
The members of the Royal Team participating are: Captain Yu Tianheng, Soul Elder, Martial Soul Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon; Vice-Captain Dugu Yan, Soul Elder, Martial Soul Green Scaled Serpent.
And team members Ye Lingling, Soul Elder... Shi Mo, Soul Elder... Shi Mo, Soul Elder... Yu Feng, Soul Elder... Ao Siluo, Soul Elder...
Kaiyuan Academy has sent out five team members, who are Jerry, Soul Elder, Martial Soul Mutated Bloodline Blue Silver Grass,
"Soul Grand Master Yuan Siling... Soul Grand Master Yuan Siyu... Soul Grand Master Zhu Zhuqing... Soul Grand Master Ning Rongrong..."
Doudou controlled the rhythm perfectly.
After finishing her speech, she had just circled the arena, returning to the platform.
The golden light pillar illuminated her throughout, making her already beautiful appearance even more radiant and dazzling.
And with these words, especially when introducing the Kaiyuan Academy team,
The lively atmosphere instantly died down, and the vast venue became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
About a second later, like oil poured onto a raging fire, it burst into flames again.
"Are they kidding? Seven challenging one? And the only Soul Elder on the other side has a Mutated Bloodline Blue Silver Grass?"
"No wonder Kaiyuan Academy is so angry, this is truly欺人太甚."
"Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, tsk tsk, as expected, they're all amazing."
Entering the entrance to the side of the arena, Yu Tianheng and the others' expressions instantly changed dramatically.
Previously, when Qin Ming was challenged, they were filled with anger, swearing they would give Kaiyuan Academy a harsh lesson.
At this moment, they were dumbfounded on the spot.
What did this mean? The Soul Ancestor from the other side wasn't coming on stage?
Were they thinking they were bullying them?
They might be foolish and malicious, consumed by envy and animosity, even plotting to suppress Kaiyuan Academy, but they wouldn't stoop to such blatant, shameless tactics.
They weren't Tang San and Yu Xiao Gang, after all.
On the third floor, the three committee members, Prince Xuexing, and Xue Qinghe, who had moments ago been fuming, all froze in awkward silence.
Bai Baoshan was the first to stammer out an explanation, his voice thick with anxiety: "Master Nangong, we challenged the entire Kaiyuan team, right? We never said your Soul Ancestors couldn't participate.
It's only when we're challenging across ranks that we need to use the word 'challenge.' Otherwise, we could have just arranged normal matches in the arena, couldn't we?"
This Soul Douluo, whose name was so powerful it defied explanation,
now had a face as red as a boiled shrimp, a picture of shame and humiliation.
Another committee member, Zhi Lin, quickly added, "The leader of the Royal Academy team, Qin Ming, is a graduate of Shrek Academy.
He received a letter today. It said that in order to seize outstanding students, the Nangong Sect Master had sent people to attack and raze Shrek Academy. Several teachers were also severely injured, on the verge of death.
Seeing Qin Ming's indignation, the children proposed a challenge to Kaiyuan Academy.
"I am willing to guarantee with my honor that there was absolutely no intention to bully or insult your esteemed academy."
