Douluo; Zhongli Adventures in Mortal World with Paimon

Since we're going to lose anyway, why let others know our intelligence?

Doing this might just slightly improve their ranking.

After listening to the captain's explanation, the members of the Barak team quickly nodded.

Others think they are big and tall but brainless, but that's not the case at all!

"The first round of the advancement battles, second battle, Heaven Dou Royal Team Two versus Beast Academy!"

As the host's words fell, Meng Shu and others' expressions were not very good.

They knew a bit about the situation with the Heaven Dou Royal Team Two.

When they drew lots yesterday, they were quite helpless.

This could be described as an unfavorable start!

Beast Academy is considered a mid-to-upper tier academy among the fifteen teams.

Even against the Balak Kingdom Academy, Beast Academy isn't afraid.

Only the Heaven Dou Royal Team Two, and the recently debuted Shrek Academy team, are exceptions.

"Let's see how this match goes."

"If it's really not possible, we'll concede."

"Understood, Grandpa!"

As both sides took the stage, Tang San had already returned to the rest area.

After exchanging a glance with Dai Mubai, they were both silent.

How many to leave?

They conceded directly!

"Maybe, San, you should go on stage later next time?"

Dai Mubai tentatively suggested.

Although he is the captain, Tang San's strength far surpasses his.

He is no match for Tang San at all.

Many decisions in the Shrek Academy team are made by Tang San.

"Once one team concedes, many more will follow."

"Whether I go up earlier or later makes no difference."

Tang San smiled wryly as he spoke.

Though it seemed like a wry smile, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.

This is the deterrent power of Tang San!

"Eh, something's not right?"

As if he noticed something, Tang San frowned.

Dai Mubai and others followed Tang San's gaze and were equally confused.

Isn't that Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang?

If they remember correctly, Blazing Fire Academy didn't make it into the top five and had no chance to participate in the advancement matches.

So why are they in the contestant rest area?

The contestant rest area wasn't large, and since everyone was a participant from Heaven Dou City City, the distance wasn't far.

Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wu also noticed Tang San and others' gazes.

"Don't be surprised, we've temporarily joined Divine Wind Academy."

Huo Wushuang shrugged and said straightforwardly.

"How shameless!"

"Is this even allowed?"

Tang San and others thought to themselves, feeling somewhat bewildered.

Participants should have been determined before the competition.

But Blazing Fire Academy and Divine Wind Academy have disregarded the rules and merged!

With both sides merging, they can form a full team of Spirit Ancestors!

Plus, with wind aiding fire, Divine Wind's current combat power is probably terrifyingly high.

"???"

"Don't look at us like that, we didn't want to do this either, it was all decided by our deans…"

Not only did Blazing Fire Academy do this, but even Skywater Academy teamed up with Thunder Academy!

Well, well, well, as expected of the Four Elemental Academies, united as one!

Two spots, but four academies are participating!

Good grief!

Yu Tianxin and others were also quite helpless, this is a kind of exchange of benefits, they have no right to refuse.

Shui Bing'er and others were the same, what their dean did, they couldn't refuse either.

It seems like the Four Elemental Academies are about to undergo some changes, which is why they are making these contacts.

Tang San and others opened their mouths, wanting to say something but stopping.

What do these people take the competition for?

If you lose, you lose, yet they exploit loopholes in the rules to reappear on the stage.

Although they are not afraid, they feel very uncomfortable.

It's as if the honor they worked hard for is just a toy for these big forces.

"Don't think that just because you've merged, you can defeat me, Tang San…"

Tang San thought to himself, but didn't say anything.

"Let's watch the match."

"Okay."

On the stage, Dugu Yan and Meng Yiran faced each other, like two beautiful snakes competing.

Although Meng Yiran's martial spirit is a tool spirit, she herself has "inherited" some characteristics of a snake.

For example, her body is very flexible.

"Snake Staff!"

"Emerald Dragon, Possess!"

Meng Yiran, about two and a half years ago, broke through to the Spirit Elder level and is now a level 35 Spirit Elder.

Her strength is commendable among her peers, but can't compare to true geniuses.

Two yellow, one purple, three spirit rings quickly rose from her feet.

The Snake Staff was also held in her hand, pointing directly at Dugu Yan.

After Dugu Yan completed her spirit possession, her entire appearance changed slightly.

A green horn grew on her head, and visible skin grew green scales, giving her an exotic look.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, five spirit rings appeared on Dugu Yan.

Everyone: "..."

Dugu Yan's spirit rings, although not as "stunning" as Tang San's, also indicate one thing.

She is a genuine Spirit King!

"No way!"

"Only two matches, four people!"

"And two of them are Spirit Kings?"

Everyone couldn't help but look at the Heaven Dou City teams.

Heaven Dou City's preliminary matches this time are a bit intense!

Truly terrifying...

"The match begins!"

"Beast Academy concedes!"

Fight?

As the saying goes, discretion is the better part of valor!

This isn't cowardice, it's wisdom and conserving strength.

There's no benefit in fighting such a strong team.

Let them fight among themselves.

"Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Heaven Dou Royal Team Two wins!"

In the first round, the first and second matches both had teams conceding, speeding up the competition.

Participants from the kingdoms and duchies were even more nervous.

They initially looked down on the Sky City participants, never expecting them to be so terrifying.

Fortunately, the Canghui Team gave them hope.

The Canghui Team is very strong in group attacks, almost sweeping through teams without Spirit Kings.

But in one-on-one, they are somewhat lacking.

Of course, they are all control types, and their strength is decent.

"Zhongli, why do I see Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er!"

Paimon rubbed her eyes, somewhat in disbelief.

"Qinghe, Qinghe, do you know what's going on?"

On the Vip seats, Paimon's voice made everyone slightly stunned.

Especially Salas, because he knows what's going on.

Before Zhongli could say anything, "Xue Qinghe" said: "I don't know, but they probably didn't break any rules, just exploited a loophole in the competition."

"For the empire, their combined strength is greater, bringing more glory to the empire, so it's normal to turn a blind eye."

The latter part was "Xue Qinghe's" inner thoughts, with Xue Ye sitting beside her, she couldn't directly voice such thoughts.

"After so many competitions, it's still so lax…"

Everyone twitched their eyes, it's fine for Paimon to say this, but if it were anyone else, the outcome might not be so good.

"Little Paimon, don't worry, starting from the next competition, such things won't happen again."
