Chapter 1623: What...

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Bang!” Another irregular-shaped snow angel had formed on the ground. It was the Body Douluo A Ruheng’s silhouette...

Tang Wulin could not help feeling bewildered at the sight of it. What was happening here? How was he incapable of understanding what he was seeing?!

He passed Sima Jinchi to the Holy Spirit Douluo for treatment, and then hastened to the deep pit made by the crash. He pulled A Ruheng out from the hole.

A Ruheng’s ability to withstand beatings was truly uncanny. However, his battle armor still appeared rather dull and there were many charred black marks on his body.

Tang Wulin was speechless. “Senior disciple brother, what has happened to you?”

A Ruheng turned to Tang Wulin with a helpless look in his eyes. “I was only thinking to myself at the time, how can a woman be that hideous? Then, I also hugged her...” He quickly turned to vomit.

Tang Wulin really wanted to push A Ruheng back into the hole because the man was still making blind and nonsensical conjectures. Tang Wulin predicted that Sima Jinchi would have as much of an explanation as A Ruheng.

In the first round of the two-on-two matches, Spirit Academy won.

Whatever the case, Shrek had lost in such baffling manner.

Despite having completely suppressed the opponents and having victory in the grasp, they had lost so abruptly. Moreover, Sima Jinchi was severely injured. It was apparent that he would not be participating in the latter battles anymore.

What was going on here?! Tang Wulin was certain that they were going to win this round.

Although Sima Jinchi and A Ruheng were always seen quarrelling with one another, they had actually been cultivating together for a very long time. They worked very well together in a battle, so their cooperation was quite good regardless of how they spoke of one another. They were capable of distracting the opponents and also synchronized perfectly at the most crucial moments. Moreover, both of them possessed a Hyper Douluo’s abilities, and they were even slightly more powerful than the rest of the Shrek Seven Monsters judging by their cultivation bases.

Qiangu Dongfeng had a rather peculiar expression on his face too. When Bai Haozhe’s light element attribute was sealed by the opponent, he was so blinded by rage that the vision before his eyes darkened. He was feeling that victory was inevitable for them in this round! He was well aware of how powerful the martial soul fusion skill Flashing Light was. The soul skill was so close to Limit Douluo-rank that he would only be able to resist it by force when the sisters’ soul power was exhausted.

As soon as the sisters’ cultivation base reached Limit Douluo-rank, their martial soul fusion skill would genuinely be at that level as well. At that point, they would be one of the lethal weapons of the Spirit Pagoda.

Even so, who would have thought that the opponent would have the ability to seal light? Moreover, the light element attribute was sealed in such a complete manner. The sisters were much less able to fight when their martial soul fusion skill was frozen. Almost all their actual combat training was carried out in their martial soul fusion skill state. If they were to fail just like that, it would be a waste.

Then, another unexpected twist occurred when the tide turned after their shrieks and screams. The victors and losers were reversed.

Even though they had won this round of battle, Qiangu Dongfeng was not feeling much happier. This was because they had won in a truly bizarre way!

Bai Haozhe and Bai Zhicen descended from the sky and landed in front of Qiangu Dongfeng. “Pagoda Master.” Their voices sounded a little awkward, but they still had feminine voices.

Almost everyone standing at Qiangu Dongfeng’s side had retreated by one step or half a step.

As A Ruheng had mentioned, these rough-looking two men spoke with the voices of women. Moreover, they sounded rather charming. It felt very strange!

Qiangu Dongfeng’s eyelids twitched once. He said, “Well done to both of you. Take a rest at the back first.”

“Yes!”

Bai Haozhe recovered from her surprise and took a glance at Sima Jinchi that had fainted in the distance, while Bai Zhicen looked toward A Ruheng.

Sima Jinchi had already fainted in any case while A Ruheng’s eyes immediately rolled up as soon as he caught the look from Bai Zhicen’s crude face. A Ruheng had also fainted, but there was no telling if that was real or feigned.

Tang Wulin almost gave A Ruheng’s bald head a slap as he helped him walk. He spoke softly, “Foolish senior brother disciple, can’t you see that they are disguised in makeup? They’re not born like that. It must be that the Spirit Pagoda is trying to conceal their original appearance so they could be used as a fail-safe in the future.”

A Ruheng immediately opened his eyes once again and looked to the opposite side in astonishment. “Really?”

Tang Wulin rolled his eyes. “Why would I lie? Tell me about what happened to both of you.”

A Ruheng scratched his head in slight embarrassment. He said, “It was truly terrifying at the time. It was all that fool Sima Jinchi’s fault. I was prepared to make another move. Who knew his garbage seal had actually broken? Otherwise, we wouldn’t have lost. He’s such a good-for-nothing!”

“You’re the garbage!” Coincidentally, Sima Jinchi had awakened at that moment after being treated by the Holy Spirit Douluo. He was immediately infuriated upon listening to A Ruheng’s attempt to accuse him.

“Since when have I become garbage? Was what I just said wrong?”

“So why did you stop holding that opponent of yours at the time? Had you been able to do your part properly, would we have lost if only one of them remained?”

“How about you then? Why didn’t you knock-out your opponent? Wouldn’t it be the same if you had done a better job? My opponent was a spatial attribute one while yours was a light attribute one. Would they have been able to threaten me if they could not perform the fusion of space and light?”

“Alright, both of you, quarrel at the back!” Tang Wulin had no words. There was a saying that ‘a plan can’t keep up with changes’. After all the matches so far, they had finally lost control of one battle. Fortunately, he had prepared a sufficient number of grand feasts for Qiangu Dongfeng.

Tang Wulin turned toward Qiangu Dongfeng once again and sounded a little helpless as he spoke, “Pagoda Master Qiangu, I truly didn’t expect that you would come up with such a scheme and achieve victory by sending women disguised as men. I wonder if this is Spirit Academy’s makeup course?”

Qiangu Dongfeng was well aware that Tang Wulin was being sarcastic. He replied calmly and said, “The victor and loser have already been decided. We shall proceed. Your side is already losing by three points now, so if we were to win the next two rounds of the two-on-two battles, I think that there’s no need for us to proceed with the final round of seven-on-seven anymore.”

Tang Wulin smiled calmly. “That’s impossible. I’ll be participating in the next round personally. I hope that you will have prepared participants that are sufficiently powerful for me.”

Radiance flashed once in Qiangu Dongfeng’s eyes. He had never dared to underestimate Tang Wulin before because of swift improvement. Tang Wulin was undergoing a thorough transformation almost every time he saw him. Other than Gu Yuena, Tang Wulin was the most outstanding youth he had ever met.

Ye Xinglan and Yuanen Yehui’s performances from earlier were already so impressive. Moreover, Tang Wulin was the leader of the Shrek Seven Monsters and the current Sea God’s Pavilion Master of Shrek Academy, so his abilities were certainly extraordinary. It was only that Qiangu Dongfeng had no idea who Tang Wulin’s partner would be.

The current score was six to three. Spirit Academy’s score was already double Shrek Academy’s. Just as Qiangu Dongfeng had said, if Shrek Academy were to lose the next two rounds of two-on-two battles, there would be no need for the following battles anymore. Spirit Academy would be ahead seven points, so Shrek would not be able to turn defeat into victory even if they could win the group match.

As a result, the next round of two-on-two was crucial. If Shrek could win another two points it could affect the entire competition. If they were to lose again, there would be a huge amount of pressure on them to win the final round of the two-on-two battles.

Thus, Tang Wulin decided to participate in the battle personally, but who would be his partner? Everyone’s gaze was fixed upon him.

Two people walked out from behind Qiangu Dongfeng for the Spirit Pagoda’s side. One of them even patted on Qiangu Dongfeng’s shoulder.

Qiangu Dongfeng moved sideways and said respectfully, “Thank you for going through all this trouble for me, brother.”

“Hmm.” The person responded then raised his head to look toward Tang Wulin.

His appearance was seventy to eighty percent similar to Qiangu Dongfeng, but he appeared to be somewhat younger. Qiangu Dongfeng had addressed him as ‘brother’, so one could imagine this person’s status in the Spirit Pagoda.

The person walking side by side with him was a woman. She had a delicate, beautiful face, her slight smile never leaving. There was no way to tell her actual age, but she appeared to be over thirty years old. She was holding the man’s hand in an intimate way.

Both of them gazed into the other’s eyes as their bodies shot straight into the sky. Neither had unleashed their martial souls. They rose up high like a celestial couple.

Two people rose from Shrek Academy’s side as well. This time, Tang Wulin did not pause but flew straight into the sky. The person that ascended along with with him was none other than the Holy Spirit Douluo Yali!

They also floated side by side. Had the people in attendance been unaware of Yali’s identity, the pair of them might have appeared to be a couple as well.

“That’s Qiangu Qingfeng. I didn’t expect that he would be participating in the battle on behalf of the Spirit Pagoda,” Yali said to Tang Wulin via voice transmission.

“Qiangu Qingfeng?” Tang Wulin turned to his godmother, looking a little confused. He noticed that Yali had a stern expression and the slight frown between her brows revealed that she was a little worried.

Yali said, “He is Qiangu Dongfeng’s birth brother, but he had a different upbringing. Qiangu Dongfeng was raised in the Spirit Pagoda from young, whereas Qiangu Qingfeng has been a rebel since childhood. He is not fond of being told to obey, and his martial soul is not the clan’s Coiling Dragon Staff. As a result, he is not valued by the clan as much as Qiangu Dongfeng.”
