Douluo Continent: Starting with a Self-Created Soul Ring 98

Chapter 98: Dugu Bo Was Shocked, Ju Hua Guan Actually…

After a day of rest, the third round of the final matches quickly began. The Martial Soul Temple team, which had been the first to compete in the previous round, was now last. This was the most anticipated match. After all, it was a clash between two seed teams: the Martial Soul Temple team and the Heaven Dou Royal team! Regardless of the outcome, one seed team would be eliminated, ending their run in the top 10!

“The first match of the third round is won by the Hao Tian team!”

“The second match of the third round is won by the Star Luo Empire team!”

“The third match of the third round is won by the Thunder team!”

The first three matches, after fierce battles, had concluded. The Hao Tian team, unsurprisingly, advanced to the next round.

“Next, let’s invite the teams for our final match today. Please welcome the Martial Soul Temple team and the Heaven Dou Royal team!”

Finally, the most anticipated showdown arrived, with the members of the Martial Soul Temple team and the Heaven Dou Royal team entering the arena.

“Bi Bi Dong, Gu Ziyue!”

“Our Heaven Dou Royal team won’t be easily defeated by you. The outcome is still uncertain!” Dugu Xin, from the Heaven Dou Royal team, immediately spoke to Gu Ziyue and Bi Bi Dong with a strong tone. He knew Bi Bi Dong’s Soul Emperor strength was formidable, but they wouldn’t give up easily. Besides, the opposing team only had one Soul Emperor; it wasn’t unheard of for teams with Soul Emperors to lose to teams without them.

“That’s right, the Heaven Dou Royal team will be victorious today!” Ning Shuangjiang, standing beside Dugu Xin, echoed her captain’s words. She wasn’t one to surrender easily either.

“Oh, this is more interesting!” “If you were intimidated before the fight, it would be rather boring!” Bi Bi Dong, instead of being annoyed by their words, smiled brightly. She enjoyed strong opponents!

“Hmph!” “Damn it, let’s see if you can still smile later!” Ning Shuangjiang, seeing Bi Bi Dong’s expression, was instantly angered, her chest rising and falling. This made Gu Ziyue unconsciously take a few extra glances. This woman, who looked very much like Ning Rongrong, had two much larger spirit beasts than Ning Rongrong!

“Shuangjiang, that girl, is still so stubborn!” “But this time, she’s clearly going to fall. Besides Bi Bi Dong, the other members of the Martial Soul Temple team are very strong!” Ning Fengzhi, in the audience, shook his head and chuckled, knowing his cousin well.

“Yes, the members of the Martial Soul Temple team fight with exceptional composure. Throughout the entire battle, not a single person made a mistake—it’s quite frightening!” Gu Douluo nodded in agreement.

“This must be related to the Pope’s other disciple’s support. Otherwise, at their age, it’s impossible for them to have zero mistakes in battle!” Jian Douluo also acknowledged the Martial Soul Temple team’s strength, recognizing Gu Ziyue’s invaluable support.

“Xin’er…” Meanwhile, in a corner of the stands, Dugu Bo stood alone, frowning as he watched Dugu Xin on the field. He was worried that a defeat would demoralize his son.

“Oh~” “Old Poison, you really came to watch your son’s match, huh?” At that moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in Dugu Bo’s ear.

“Ju Hua Guan!” Dugu Bo’s eyes flashed with cold light as he identified the speaker. Turning, he saw Yue Guan.

“Old Poison, long time no see~” “I wonder, Old Poison, if you still dare to test your skills against me?” Yue Guan, unfazed by Dugu Bo’s nickname, gave him a flirtatious look and issued a challenge. Their feud was long-standing; every encounter resulted in a clash. However, neither ever went all out; if one was at a disadvantage, they’d retreat, and the other wouldn’t pursue. They were enemies, yet not enemies who sought to kill each other, but rather rivals who aimed to humiliate each other. Otherwise, if he just asked Gui Mie for help, they could easily eliminate the other in minutes.

“Your cultivation…” Dugu Bo hadn’t noticed initially, but after hearing Yue Guan’s words, he was shocked to discover that in just a few years, he couldn’t sense Yue Guan’s cultivation level at all. Seeing Dugu Bo’s stunned expression, a smug smile spread across Yue Guan’s lips.

“Don’t worry, when we fight, I’ll use the same cultivation level as you; I won’t bully you!” While saying nothing directly, Yue Guan implicitly revealed that he was now on a completely different cultivation level.

“How…how is that possible…” “You actually…broke through to Title Douluo?” Dugu Bo swallowed hard, staring at Yue Guan in disbelief.

“Hee hee~ Old Poison’s got a keen eye!” “How is it? Do you feel inferior?” Seeing Dugu Bo’s speechless state, Yue Guan laughed even harder. After consuming the celestial herbs, he had dedicated himself to cultivation, and had only recently broken through to Title Douluo.

“You…” Dugu Bo was truly shocked. He hadn’t expected Yue Guan to break through to Title Douluo so quickly; it was unbelievable. He had originally predicted it would take Yue Guan at least ten years.

“Hmph, don’t get too cocky. I’ll catch up to you eventually!” “Want to fight? Anytime!” Dugu Bo quickly suppressed his shock, a defiant glint in his eyes. He wouldn’t lose face, he’d accept the challenge. However, he didn’t dare ask Yue Guan to limit his strength. If Yue Guan used his Title Douluo strength, he wouldn’t even fight, just run.

“Alright, let’s watch your son’s performance.” “Your son is going to lose today. He’s no match for those two Your Highnesses.” Seeing that the match had begun, Yue Guan smiled lightly, then turned his attention to the arena.

“Hmph!” “Not necessarily!” “Xin’er inherited my Martial Soul, his poison skills are almost as strong as mine. If anyone from the Martial Soul Temple team gets poisoned by my son’s snake venom, whether they live or die will depend on my son’s mood!” Dugu Bo coldly snorted in response.

“Hee hee~” “Your son’s snake venom is powerful, but the Holy Maiden’s poison isn’t weak either!” “Your son’s poison might work against other teams, but against those two Your Highnesses, he’s just unlucky.” Yue Guan wasn’t worried at all; instead, he laughed.

“…” Dugu Bo fell silent; this was precisely why he thought his son would lose. Bi Bi Dong’s Deathly Spider Emperor also possessed highly potent venom, and she was a Soul Emperor.

“By the way, Old Poison!” “I see your eyes and your son’s eyes are getting greener and greener. You wouldn’t have been poisoned by your own Martial Soul, would you?” Yue Guan changed the subject, suddenly asking if Dugu Bo and his son had been poisoned by their own Martial Souls. Yue Guan knew that the Holy Maiden had always been eyeing that celestial herb, the Snow-White Swan Kiss, but the Pope and Gu Ziyue were worried that Bi Bi Dong might not be able to withstand the surge of poison after absorbing it, so they hadn’t let her absorb it yet. Now that he had encountered Dugu Bo, he naturally wanted to probe whether there really was such a situation where a Soul Master could be poisoned by their own Martial Soul.

“You…” Dugu Bo’s pupils constricted sharply upon hearing Yue Guan’s words.
