Douluo: Two brothers in douluo

As his eyes opened and closed, Dai Mubai found himself once again in the boundless white space, with the golden, glowing "figure" before him.

"Welcome back, Lin Fan."

Dai Mubai: "..."

Wait a minute—he had just been watching the competition a second ago, and now he was back in this strange space?

"What is it this time? My good brother, Li Si—what kind of trouble has he gotten into now?"

Before the god could speak and run through the usual protocol, Dai Mubai—who was also Lin Fan—cut straight to the chase. He had learned to answer before the god could even begin.

The god paused, seemingly caught off guard. Had it been so long since they last met that there wasn't even time for pleasantries anymore?

"Your good brother Li Si is currently in a dilemma. His newly purchased bedding has caught Xiao Wu's eye. He must either share half of it with Xiao Wu or… sleep in the same bed with her."

As the god said this, the corners of his emotionless mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Truly, what a pair of good brothers—they could even find themselves stuck in such a predicament!

Hearing this, Dai Mubai froze, his entire body shaking as if he couldn't believe what he had heard.

Li Si… was stuck over something like this? Was it really so difficult?

Wasn't Li Si particularly fond of Xiao Wu's character model?

Wait a second—something felt off here.

In his world of Douluo Dalu, that was the anime world, right?

The Xiao Wu he knew was definitely someone Li Si would adore.

Hold on—just how ugly was the Xiao Wu in the novel world for Li Si, that walking "central heater," to get stuck like this?

"Hey, God, shouldn't you show me what exactly happened?" Dai Mubai looked at the glowing figure with curiosity. He really wanted to see what the novel world's Xiao Wu looked like.

As for the god himself, everything about him was fine—except that he was too dazzling! Could he turn off those special effects?

"Apologies. This incident involves personal privacy. As a god, it would be unethical for me to reveal it," the god replied.

Dai Mubai: "???"

Wait—what could possibly have happened for it to count as privacy?

Li Si was only six years old right now, wasn't he?!

"Lin Fan, your good brother Li Si needs your help."

"If you press the left button, your good brother Li Si will receive a blanket, but he will have to give his newly purchased blanket—worth one silver soul coin—to Xiao Wu."

"If you press the right button, your good brother Li Si will gain a level of soul power, but he will have to agree to Xiao Wu's request to share a bed."

Dai Mubai fell silent, sinking into thought. After a moment, he said, "Li Si has already had it pretty rough. A little more suffering won't make much difference!"

With that, Dai Mubai pressed the button on the right.

Though gaining a level of soul power didn't seem like much, winning at the starting line wasn't bad either.

He could only make his good brother Li Si suffer a little.

Still, Dai Mubai really wondered how "hideous" the novel world's Xiao Wu was for Li Si to resist so much.

Since Li Si couldn't make up his mind, as his good brother, Dai Mubai would help him decide!

Douluo Dalu (Novel World).

After obtaining his first spirit ring, Li Si's strength had reached the Soul Master level. With this in mind, he headed to the Spirit Hall in Nuoding City to register and officially become a Soul Master.

This allowed him to receive one gold soul coin every month from the Spirit Hall.

Without Yu Xiaogang as his teacher, Li Si didn't have access to blankets. So, after getting his gold soul coin, he immediately went out and bought a blanket for one silver soul coin.

But just as he walked back into Dorm Seven, carrying his brand-new blanket, Xiao Wu's eyes locked onto it.

As a transmigrator, Li Si's values wouldn't let him share a blanket with Xiao Wu, a girl who was technically 106,000 years old but looked like a child!

He explained to Xiao Wu how she could earn a gold soul coin herself, but her expression dimmed.

The school year had just started, and Xiao Wu hadn't yet obtained her spirit ring, so she wasn't a Soul Master yet…

Li Si hesitated for a while before finally steeling his resolve. So what if we share a blanket? No one will know, anyway.

As soon as he thought this, his soul power inexplicably rose by one level!

"???"

Good heavens—he had just convinced himself that no one would know, and now, not only did someone know, but a god knew about it too!

Since they already knew, there was no need to hide it anymore.

"Xiao Wu, let's push our beds together!"

Xiao Wu: "..."

This delicious-smelling human child was… this bold?

Douluo Dalu (Anime World).

When Dai Mubai opened his eyes, he was still sitting in the audience stands, and everything around him remained unchanged from before he left.

Every time he entered the divine space, the time in his world froze.

After a few experiences, Dai Mubai had figured this out.

This was good—otherwise, suddenly disappearing and reappearing would be terrifying.

"Good brother, I hope you can survive this," Dai Mubai muttered, shaking his head and putting Li Si's matters behind him. He focused on the competition at hand.

Zhu Zhuqing, as an agility-attack Soul Master, was at a severe disadvantage in this kind of battle. Her combat experience, to be honest, wasn't much to speak of.

As the young lady of the Zhu family from the Star Luo Empire, with an "abandoned" fiancé like Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing's fate was destined to be a miserable one.

In Star Luo City, Zhu Zhuqing had no friends. People avoided her like the plague, which had shaped her cold and solitary personality.

Without friends or opponents, how could she have any combat experience?

As for the people Zhu Zhuyun had supposedly "sent to kill" Zhu Zhuqing—were they truly assassins? Or had they been escorting Zhu Zhuqing to Soto City instead?

A Soul Master at level 27 couldn't possibly escape from even a few Soul Elders or Soul Ancestors if they had genuinely tried to kill her.

Tang San was different. Even though he rarely fought after arriving in the Douluo Dalu world, his previous life's combat experience was still with him.

As an Outer Sect Disciple of the Tang Sect, Tang San's combat experience was extensive.

"First Spirit Skill: Blue Silver Bind!"

Dai Mubai shook his head. The arena was far too small, and Zhu Zhuqing, as an agility-attack Soul Master, simply couldn't dodge.

Tang San, not wanting to offend Dai Mubai just yet, held back and didn't use his full strength.

Before long, Zhu Zhuqing returned with her head bowed, clearly dejected.

Dai Mubai gently ruffled Zhu Zhuqing's hair and said softly, "It's okay, Zhuqing. The arena is just too small—agility-attack Soul Masters are at a disadvantage here."

"It's because my speed isn't fast enough."

Zhu Zhuqing shook her head. Agility-attack Soul Masters could still win against control-type Soul Masters if their speed was fast enough and their attack power stacked properly.

Suddenly, inspiration struck Dai Mubai. If Tang San could use his Tang Sect techniques in the Douluo Dalu world, then could he "invent" some so-called spirit skills of his own?

In his previous life, there were techniques from other anime that could, in theory, be replicated here.

But… the Earth lacked the means to make those techniques a reality.
