Chapter 1629: The Lineup!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Compared to the final round, all the earlier battles could be described with the word ‘appetizers’.
The victory from the final battle would undoubtedly have the upper hand in enrolling students.
Five minutes passed quickly. Qiangu Dongfeng slowly walked over with six people following behind him as they approached the arena.
The person following closely behind Qiangu Dongfeng was precisely the depressed Purgatory Douluo Qiangu Qingfeng who had just lost the previous battle.
It felt as if Qiangu Qingfeng’s eyes were about to spurt out a fire in rage as he looked at Tang Wulin. He had been together with his wife for so many years. How could he refrain himself from being enraged when Xia Zhengleng had been severely injured for the very first time?
On the other side of Qiangu Dongfeng was naturally the Heavenly Phoenix Leng Yaozhu. The three Limit Douluos walked side by side.
There was also the old man with a brain as his martial soul who had defeated Tang Yinmeng. Even though there was no telling of this man’s exact cultivation base, it would not be an exaggeration to call him the person with the most powerful spiritual level in today’s world.
Other than these four people, a man standing at the back of the crowd walked out. His presence intensified the stress on Shrek Academy’s side. This person was none other than the previous Pagoda Master of Spirit Pagoda, father of two great Limit Douluos Qiangu Qingfeng and Qiangu Dongfeng, and a quasigod-ranked powerhouse. He was Heaven War Douluo Qiangu Dieting with the title of taking on both heaven and earth!
There were already four Limit Douluos now! In addition, there was an ultra-powerful control-type Spirit System soul master.
Other than the five of them, Witch Douluo Li Mengjie and Boxing King did not walk out in the lineup. The people that walked out were the pair of sisters from earlier that disguised as men, Bai Haozhe and Bao Zhicen! Their martial soul fusion skill was equipped with a good outburst force.
The combination of these seven people was equal to the fighting capacity of six Limit Douluos. How could Qiangu Dongfeng not feel confident after having such capable people on his side?
The person that took the lead to walk out from Shrek Academy’s side was naturally Tang Wulin. Two female participants followed behind Tang Wulin. One of them was the Holy Spirit Douluo while the other exquisite-looking young maiden appeared to be almost the same age as Yali but did not look familiar at all.
Qiangu Dieting suddenly spoke in astonishment. “Long Yeyue, is that you? You’ve become younger?”
They had not noticed earlier but how could a passerby join Tang Wulin in participating in the most important competition at this moment? Qiangu Dieting had encountered Light Dark Douluo Long Yeyue when he was young. He could not help enquire her now that he had recounted about the past.
Long Yeyue calmly smiled. “Do you think everybody is going to grow old and wither alone like you?” Yes, it was precisely Long Yeyue. How could she miss an important moment like this?
Other than Long Yeyue and Yali, out of the rest of the four people that walked together with Tang Wulin were two unfamiliar faces for Spirit Pagoda’s people. One of them was an old man with senile and unsophisticated appearance while the other one was a middle-aged man with a majestic figure. Other than them, Spirit Pagoda had the information related to the young maiden from the rest of the two people. This person was precisely the main control-type soul master Xu Xiaoyan from Shrek Seven Monsters. On the other hand, the other person had a hideous face along with a tall and huge figure. Let alone the people of Spirit Pagoda, no one other than Tang Wulin from Shrek Academy was aware of his background and origin.
Initially, Qiangu Dongfeng was under the assumption that Lan Muzi whose performance earlier was outstanding with powerful abilities would be in Shrek’s lineup for sure. Yet, it seemed like Lan Muzi and Tang Yinmeng were not there. It was truly astonishing.
More importantly, he had never seen three out of the seven representatives from Shrek Academy and Spirit Pagoda did not have any information on them. This was definitely not a good thing and Qiangu Dongfeng was feeling a little gloomy in his heart.
“Tang Sect Master, I can see that there are a few unfamiliar faces. Will you please introduce them?” Qiangu Dongfeng asked while maintaining his composure.
Tang Wulin smiled calmly. “These are our Shrek Academy’s newly-appointed teachers and they are in charge of different teaching tasks. It’s very normal for Pagoda Master Qiangu to have not met them. Don’t worry. There are only people from Shrek in today’s battle!”
Qiangu Dongfeng smiled. “Alright, we shall witness Shrek’s inner secrets today.”
In reality, he was feeling quite relieved for not seeing the two Great Limit Douluos, Amorous Douluo and Heartless Douluo in the opposing side’s lineup. He was most worried that Tang Wulin would invite them into his lineup without any regard for his reputation.
Heartless Douluo Cao Dezhi and Amorous Douluo Zang Xin were not only Limit Douluos but they were also skilled in a set of martial soul fusion skills that allowed them to make a joint attack which was the most terrifying part about them.
The number one man on the continent Yun Ming once said that it was very tough for him to defeat them when the set of martial soul fusion skills was continuously unleashed during the process of a battle back then. They were reputed to be able to unleash the most powerful martial soul fusion skill in today’s Douluo Continent.
In case these two Limit Douluos made up an excuse to join Shrek in time then withdraw themselves after the battle, there was nothing Spirit Pagoda could do. If those two were here, Spirit Pagoda’s success rate in achieving victory would have been much lower.
However, the current situation was rather good. Shrek would still need to take care of its reputation so they did not join forces with Tang Sect. Even though those three people were unfamiliar, they could not be more powerful than Cao Dezhi and Zang Xin at the very least.
Qiangu Dongfeng was feeling much more confident after these thoughts. There was already six great Limit Douluos’ worth fighting capacity on his side for the battle. Could it be that they were still incapable of defeating a newly reconstructed Shrek?
“Tang Sect Master, please go on!”
“Pagoda Master Qiangu, please go on!”
A total of fourteen people combined from both sides simultaneously rose into the sky.
At present, a humming sound was heard echoing from the distance. The sound had originated from the soul airplanes used for filming in the sky sent out by the media during this crucial moment.
It would ensure that the battle could be watched with clarity by using their special equipment for the long-range filming.
“Dear viewers, drop everything you are doing now if you can see our broadcasting signal no matter where you are. Put everything aside and concentrate on watching our channel’s broadcast because the most powerful collision of the century is about to begin. It is the seven-on-seven battle between Shrek Academy and Spirit Pagoda. As a reporter, my blood is already boiling with enthusiasm. Our airplane has begun to film from a distance of two thousand meters away from the scene. Everyone will be able to watch this exceedingly exciting competition from the comfort of your home.”
“Due to the fear of being affected by the battle, we are not going to approach them any closer. I’m only going to reveal a message to everyone. Judging from the current situation, I can confirm that there are a total of six Limit Douluo-ranked powerhouses combined from both sides. There are four from Spirit Pagoda and two from Shrek Academy.”
“Spirit Pagoda’s four Limit Douluos include the current Spirit Pagoda’s Pagoda Master, Spirit Douluo Qiangu Dongfeng. He is using the title of ‘Pagoda Master’ in public. There is also the previous Spirit Pagoda’s Pagoda Master, Heaven War Douluo Qiangu Zhangting and also his eldest son who is also a Limit Douluo, Purgatory Douluo Qiangu Qingfeng. Qiangu Clan truly deserves its reputation of being the number one clan in Spirit Pagoda by sending out three Limit Douluos the clan. Other than them, there is also Spirit Pagoda’s Deputy Pagoda Master, her excellency Heavenly Phoenix Douluo Leng Yaozhu who has elevated to Limit Douluo.”
“On the other hand, we can only confirm that there are two Limit Douluos from Shrek Academy’s side at the moment. They are her excellency Light Dark Douluo Long Yeyue and also her excellency Holy Spirit Douluo Yali. As everyone knows, her excellency Yali is the number one recovery-type soul master on the continent today. I believe that there are quite a number of people out there that have been blessed by her excellency Yali’s grace.”
“Other than these two people, there is the Sea God’s Pavilion Master of Shrek Academy who is also the Tang Sect’s Sect Master at the time. He has defeated two opponents by himself during the previous battle. He is his Excellency Dragon Emperor Douluo Tang Wulin who is also reputed to be the most peaked powerhouse of the younger generation. It is said that he is not even thirty years old this year yet he is acting as the leader of two great forces. One can only imagine how powerful his potential is. Furthermore, it is said that he is a Divine Craftsman as well. He is going to succeed after his Excellency Divine Craftsman Zhen Hua. It is an absolutely great thing for the continent to get a new Divine Craftsman, especially for the battle armor masters of the entire soul masters’ world. There are already powerhouses from Shrek Academy that unleashed their four-word battle armor masters in the earlier battles. There is no doubt that the seven-on-seven battle today will certainly be the most apex competition in history.”
The scene was broadcasted live to the entire continent. Moreover, it was reported as urgent news. These reporters dared not make blind conjectures in favor of Spirit Pagoda regardless of how many benefits Spirit Pagoda had given them. Otherwise, it could possibly cause them great troubles.
At present, both sides were still rising into the sky. The earlier battles were basically contained in the height of three hundred to five hundred meters from ground level. On the other hand, they rose over one thousand and five hundred meters into the sky this time. It felt like both sides had discussed this beforehand this time.
At such a high altitude, it was utterly impossible for a person to maintain flight for a long period of time without the cultivation base of a Title Douluo.
Many aerial combat critics mentioned before that the airspace over one thousand meters from ground level did not belong to the soul masters’ world anymore but it was a space that belonged to mecha masters and soul aircrafts.
Yet, the people from Shrek Academy and Spirit Pagoda had proven those critics’ comments to be a joke.
