Douluo: The Legend of the Dragon King: Throne of the Void.

Chapter 219 The Contest Begins

The competition with the third grade came as scheduled. This competition attracted the attention of all grades in the entire Foreign Affairs College.

Because of the special internal school assessment system of Shrek Academy, the most talented students in the external school of Shrek Academy are basically concentrated in grades one to three. The first and second grades jointly challenged the third grade. In a sense, this was almost the peak showdown of the younger generation of Shrek Academy.

Although there are two first-class battle armor masters, Li Qiankun and Mo Jue, in Class One of Grade Three, there are also many talented people in the first and second grades of this class.

It can be predicted that Yu Nanyuan and others will definitely achieve more than Li Qiankun and Mo Jue in the future. It's just that there is a certain age gap between the two sides, which makes the outcome of this competition remain suspenseful for the time being.

Two one-word battle armor masters with the cultivation of five-ring soul kings, such opponents are indeed beyond the level that the outer courtyard students of Shrek Academy can reach. It is no exaggeration to say that Li Qiankun and Mo Jue are the strongest in the outer courtyard, and they have already stepped half a foot into the gate of the inner courtyard.

The first and second graders have become nervous these days, but Yu Nanyuan and his five companions who are about to represent the third grade in the competition are very calm. It is not difficult to see their confidence and determination.

The five one-on-one duels tested individual strength, so there was no need to discuss tactics. They had been practicing individually these days to prepare for this afternoon's duel.

It is rare to have such an exciting competition. Just after lunch time, the competition arena was crowded with students and teachers from all grades of the External Affairs College.

The students from Class 1, Grade 1 and Class 1, Grade 2 gathered on one side of the competition arena, surrounding Yu Nanyuan, Gu Yue, Ye Xinglan, Wu Siduo, and Yuan En Yehui who were standing in the middle. In comparison, people like Le Zhengyu and Luo Guixing seemed to be overshadowed.

It’s not that they are not good enough, but the halo of Yu Nanyuan and others is too dazzling. Each of them has talents that ordinary people can’t achieve.

Ye Xinglan's extremely sharp sword intent, Gu Yue's powerful control of the seven elements, or Yuan En Yehui and Wu Siduo's unique twin martial spirits.

As for Yu Nanyuan, it goes without saying that he was born perfect. Not only did he comprehend the spear intent that was far superior to Ye Xinglan, but through the innate ability of the Void Contract, he could also control the power of various elemental attributes like Gu Yue. The special dual-form martial soul gave him an advantage over twin martial souls.

Unconsciously, Zhang Yangzi, Wang Jinxi, Xie Xie, and Tang Wulin, who had been admitted to Shrek Academy from Donghai City together, had long been unable to keep up with Yu Nanyuan's pace. In Shrek Academy, which was full of geniuses, although they were not mediocre, they did not have any particularly outstanding advantages.

The four of them mixed in the crowd, with different expressions on their faces. During the one and a half years of studying in Shrek Academy, they felt more and more deeply the gap between themselves and Yu Nanyuan, and this gap was constantly widening.

Although Yu Nanyuan was standing right in front of them, they felt as if he was far away and out of sight.

Only Xu Xiaoyan stood beside the four of them heartlessly, laughing jokingly, "Look, except for Nanyuan, the others who represent our first and second graders are all girls. Don't you feel ashamed?"

Wang Jinxi stared at Yu Nanyuan and the other four in front of him in silence, while Tang Wulin nodded in agreement.

From ancient times to the present, the number of male spirit masters has always been far greater than that of female spirit masters, so the top spirit masters have always been mostly male spirit masters. In their first-year class, there are obviously more outstanding female spirit masters. If it weren't for Yu Nanyuan, the contrast would be even stronger.

Tang Wulin had heard Wu Changkong mention this before. In the tens of thousands of years of Shrek Academy's history, the inner courtyard seemed to have been in a state of excess of yin and deficiency of yang for most of the time.

He was full of yearning for the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy. Unfortunately, with his talent, it was difficult for him to meet the requirements for the inner courtyard examination before the age of 20.

"If I can break a few more seals, maybe..." Thinking of this, Tang Wulin subconsciously clenched his fists, with a light flashing in his eyes, as if he had grasped the last hope.

The power of the Golden Dragon King bloodline in his body was his greatest reliance. Over the years, every time he broke through the seal, it was extremely smooth, and after the breakthrough, he could feel the huge improvement in his own strength. Even Old Tang suggested that he break through the remaining nine layers of the seal as soon as possible.

However, Xie Xie's focus was different. He smiled at Xu Xiaoyan in a sly way.

"Xiaoyan, you are right. There are indeed more outstanding girls in the class than boys. But I don't see a place for you next to Nanyuan. Why don't you go and ask Guyue, maybe she can give you the place."

At first glance, Xie Xie's words didn't seem to have any special meaning, but if you think about it carefully, they seemed to have a hidden meaning.

The expression on Xu Xiaoyan's face froze at first, then quickly returned to normal, and he muttered unhappily.

"I'm a pure control-type soul master, which is useless in a one-on-one match like this. Okay, let's watch the game first."

Zhang Yangzi stroked his forehead lightly, feeling quite helpless. He didn't know what the current situation of Yu Nanyuan, Gu Yue, and Xu Xiaoyan was, nor was he sure whether Xu Xiaoyan had heard the deep meaning in Xie Xie's words, but Xu Xiaoyan's reaction fully demonstrated her timid character.

How could such a Xu Xiaoyan possibly compete with Gu Yue?
When they were in Donghai City, Zhang Yangzi and Xie Xie stood on Xu Xiaoyan's and Gu Yue's sides respectively, and they often quarreled about this in private.

At the same time, the third-year students also arrived and faced each other from the other side of the competition arena. Standing at the front of the third-year students were Li Qiankun and Mo Jue. They were all very excited about this match, especially Li Qiankun.

Mo Jue knew that her ability was restrained by Yu Nanyuan, and she did not have the same strong obsession as Li Qiankun. She represented the third grade this time more to maintain the honor of the class.

Li Qiankun was eager to get rid of his inner demons through this match. After all, he was five years older than Yu Nanyuan, and even if he defeated Yu Nanyuan now, it would not prove anything. However, in this way, the clarity of his mind would be beneficial to his future cultivation, so that he would not live in Yu Nanyuan's shadow forever.

He is determined to win this battle!
On the rostrum, Holy Spirit Douluo Yali and the Dean of the Foreign Affairs College Cai Yueer were present in person, and behind them were the teachers of the Foreign Affairs College.

Yali's main purpose was to visit Yu Nanyuan. She had always cared more about Yu Nanyuan's cultivation than her teacher Yun Ming.

Yali withdrew her gentle gaze from Yu Nanyuan and smiled at Cai Yue'er beside her.

"Yue'er, you are the dean of the outer courtyard, you should host it."

"Yes, Sister Yali." In front of Yali, Elder Cai completely lost her former dignity as the dean of the External Academy. It was not difficult to see her respect for Yali. Although she and Yali were competitors back then, she was convinced that she lost to Yali in the end.

Yali possesses such personal charm.

I saw Old Cai take a step forward in the air, a silver light flashed, and her figure landed on the competition stage, and she announced loudly to everyone.

"The first one-on-one match between students from both sides will take place."

"In the first match, you go, Ye Nuan." Song Lin, the head teacher of Class One, Grade Three, said to a young man in the class who had a somewhat wretched appearance.

The third graders already had an age advantage, so they sent their own students first, not wanting to take advantage of the order of appearance. There were five one-on-one matches in this competition, and without Yu Nanyuan's special situation, the third graders had the upper hand. The overall strength of the two sides was far different.

On the side of the junior team, Yuan En Yehui took the initiative to step forward and spoke in a calm tone.

"I'll do the first game."

The last time she challenged the Spirit Pagoda headquarters, Yuan En Ye Hui had a clear understanding of Yu Nanyuan and Gu Yue's strength. Although she was reluctant to admit it, rationally speaking, it was more certain for Yu Nanyuan and Gu Yue to face the two third-year One-word Battle Armor Masters.

What she needs to focus on now is to do her best to win the game.

"Yuan En, keep going." Yu Nanyuan nodded with a smile on his face.

Yuan En Ye Hui turned around and glanced at Yu Nanyuan, then retracted his gaze and silently walked onto the sparring arena.

The seemingly ordinary conversation between Yu Nanyuan and Yuan En Yehui instantly attracted the attention of Gu Yue, Wu Siduo, and Ye Xinglan.

Ye Nuan, who was on the other side of the sparring arena, saw all of this. He was already a bit shy, and he was full of envy and jealousy. Who doesn't like to be surrounded by a group of talented and beautiful girls and enjoy the feeling of being the center of attention? The key point is that from some subtle changes in the expressions of Gu Yue and the other two, it is clear that they care about Yu Nanyuan. Taking a deep breath, Ye Nuan showed Yuan En Ye Hui a smile that he thought was very graceful. Unfortunately, he was thin and his appearance was not good, and he still couldn't hide his wretched temperament.

"Hello, junior sister. I'm Ye Wen from Class 1, Grade 3."

"Class 1, Grade 2, Yuan En Ye Hui." Yuan En Ye Hui simply replied expressionlessly. The reason why her attitude was so cold was partly due to her personality, and partly because she was not used to others telling her real gender to her face after a long period of disguise.

However, after she exposed her fallen angel spirit and her true appearance in public, these things were no longer a secret in Shrek Academy.

Mr. Cai's figure slowly floated into the air, and without waiting for Ye Nu to say anything else, he announced the start of the game cleanly and neatly.

"Both sides are ready, let's begin!"

The smile on Ye Nu's face suddenly faded, and he looked like a completely different person from his previous vulgar and frivolous appearance, with a gleam of brilliance in his eyes. As he rushed forward, his entire body began to burn, with a strong flame spurting out from behind, and he reached super speed in an instant.

It was as if an orange-red line of fire appeared on the sparring arena. The intense high temperature caused the surrounding space to distort. The terrifying speed exceeded the sound barrier, making a deafening explosion.

As he rushed forward, the color of the flame on Ye Nu's body changed from orange to green, the temperature suddenly rose, and his speed soared again.

The body of flame, this is Ye Nu's martial soul. After transforming into a body of flame, not only is his body extremely capable of withstanding physical impact, but the high-temperature flame can also be used to severely injure the opponent. It is a powerful martial soul that combines offense and defense.

However, in terms of cultivation, Ye Nu took a different approach. He used the propulsion force generated by flames on the air to make himself an alternative agile attack-type combat soul master.

Not to mention the same level, even a spirit master of the Agility Attack system who is one level higher than him cannot match him in terms of the speed of a straight-line sprint. This makes him have the abilities of a spirit master of the Power Attack, Defense, and Agility Attack systems at the same time when he uses his spirit to fight. The only drawback is that he is not flexible enough.

But for opponents who don’t know Ye Nu, they will often suffer from his terrifying explosive speed at the very beginning.

Almost in an instant, Ye Nu crossed most of the competition arena, and rushed towards them with an extremely hot breath. Such a huge momentum shocked the first and second year students on the stage. Especially those agility attack spirit masters, they had never seen such an amazing speed.

As expected of a core member of the third grade, with Ye Nu's ability, it is likely that he will be admitted to the inner courtyard.

Pieces of battle armor with flame patterns appeared under the flame body. The seemingly frivolous Ye Nu never underestimated his opponent. He knew the strength of the two top martial spirits of Yuan En Ye Hui, the monitor of Class 1, Grade 2. In order to ensure victory, he directly used his own battle armor. The color change of the flame body was due to the amplification effect brought by the battle armor.

Double forearm gauntlets, double shoulder armor and upper arm armor, double calf armor plus combat boots, double thigh armor. Although Ye Nu did not have the core components of the one-word battle armor, he had eight pieces of battle armor attached to him.

At the moment when he was about to hit Yuan En Ye Hui, the azure flames burning on Ye Nuan's body turned into azure blue again. The temperature subsided from the scorching heat, emitting a heart-pounding breath.

Yuan En Ye Hui remained calm as she faced Ye Nuan. In the blink of an eye, her body suddenly rose to four meters, her arms became thick, and her whole body was covered with brown hair. Four purple soul rings rose from her feet while flashing alternately.

Seeing the changes in Yuan En Ye Hui, Ye Nu's mouth, which was hidden in the flames, couldn't help but twitch. No matter how stunning Yuan En Ye Hui's true appearance was, he believed that most men would find it difficult to get over the hurdle in their hearts once they had seen her fighting with the Titan Giant Ape Spirit.

Just as Ye Nu's thoughts were in a mess, he found that the space on the sparring arena suddenly became stagnant, with a thick earthy yellow halo flowing. His speed was also slowed down several times. Although his speed was still amazingly fast from the students' point of view, this sudden change was enough to expose his flaws.

Ye Nu was suddenly startled and stared at Yuan En Yehui in front of him.

Yuan En Ye Hui suddenly stepped forward with her left foot, clenched her right fist, and rushed towards Ye Wen. A solid yellow light condensed on her right fist, forming a huge twisted vortex around it, and even the air was instantly compressed in this terrifying light.

"Boom--" A thick yellow beam of light burst out from Yuan En Yehui's right fist, and a low roar sounded, completely covering up Ye Nu's momentum.

The terrifying force that was like a mountain pressing down on one's head directly repelled the impact of Ye Nu's flame body. The yellow light containing rich earth element energy fluctuations burst out even more violently and engulfed Ye Nu's body.

Everything on the scene changed in an instant.

Ye Nu's body was blown away like a cannonball, hit the shield of the sparring arena, bounced back, and hit the ground hard.

At this moment, a beam of white light descended from the sky and landed on Ye Nuan. Under the treatment of the Holy Spirit Douluo's holy light, he barely raised his head and supported himself to climb up from the ground. The light of the eight pieces of battle armor on his body was obviously much dimmer, and the whole person was covered in dust and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.

Even under the protection of the battle armor, he was still injured.

This is the absolute gap between the two sides in terms of martial spirit quality and spirit skills.

The fourth soul skill that the Titan Giant Ape soul gave Yuan En Ye Hui was the powerful gravity control field, and with the blessing of the gravity control field, her second soul skill was also sublimated. It was no longer just an air cannon that simply compressed air, but a Titan Sky Cannon that integrated gravity control.

The earth element energy impact attached to the Titan Sky Cannon fundamentally suppressed Ye Nu's flame body, and thus severely damaged him with one blow.

Yuan En Ye Hui's ability can be said to be just enough to restrain Ye Nu. The first match was so easily decided, and it is undeniable that there was a bit of luck involved. But a match is a match, and the winner is already clear.

"Class 1, Grade 2, Yuan En Ye Hui wins." Mr. Cai looked at both sides and announced the final result.

The whole place was silent. The changes on the sparring ring made many people present unable to react immediately. After all, only a very small number of people could really see the key to the victory or defeat in this match.

Ye Nu finally woke up from his dream and realized his miserable defeat. He was too embarrassed to stay there and quickly went down the stage in disgrace. Only Yuan En Ye Hui was left on the competition stage, accepting the cheers from the first and second year students.

However, Yuan En Yehui himself did not have any special reaction to this. He calmly jumped off the stage and returned to Yu Nanyuan and others.

"The rest is up to you."

Yu Nanyuan smiled and nodded, then looked at Gu Yue, Ye Xinglan and Wu Siduo beside him. When in front of outsiders, Gu Yue rarely showed her emotions as usual, but Ye Xinglan and Wu Siduo were stimulated to a certain extent by the powerful strength displayed by Yuan En Yehui.

The two of them looked at Yuan En Yehui with slightly frowned brows, with a look of surprise and thoughtfulness in their eyes.

Seeing the eye contact between Yu Nanyuan and the other four, Xie Xie smiled evilly and teased Xu Xiaoyan, “Xiaoyan, why do I feel like you’ve been left out and become an outsider?”

"What are you talking about? I am usually with Nanyuan, Sister Guyue and the others, how could they leave me behind?" Xu Xiaoyan was still deceiving herself, whining and pouting.

If Nanyuan and Guyue really get together in the future, can they take you with them when they sleep?

Xie Xie rolled his eyes secretly and muttered in his heart. However, due to his fear of Gu Yue, he did not dare to say this out loud.

"Xie Xie, that's enough." Zhang Yangzi reached out and patted Xie Xie on the shoulder, and couldn't help but lower his voice and said helplessly.

"Stop deliberately provoking Xiaoyan."

Xie Xie shrugged his shoulders, realizing that he had gone too far, and simply kept quiet.
