Douluo's self has a soul beast clone

The day of the finals.

“Finally, it’s all going to be over today.”

Li Chang’an stretched lazily as he got up early in the morning. To be honest, he found the Soul Master competition quite boring. Calling it a competition was more like a game. Teams would devise various strategies and fight it out on that small, confined arena.

Was it interesting?

In a real life-or-death battle, who would give you time to plan strategies in advance?

Moreover, in this competition, you couldn't beat people to death, or it would be considered a foul. This made it even less comparable to a real fight.

So, in his opinion, the so-called Soul Master competition was just child's play. It was mostly for show, while real battles were ever-changing. Sometimes, a moment of carelessness could lead to being killed by someone weaker than you, which wasn't strange at all.

“Let’s go!”

Li Chang’an greeted Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and the others who were fully prepared, and led the way to the competition venue.

In front of the Papal Hall.

The morning sun cast a golden glow on the Papal Hall, making it look even more sacred!

Li Chang’an led his team up the stone steps, feeling the surrounding air becoming heavier. At this moment, Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall, Ning Fengzhi, the honorary elder, and the other three Title Douluos were already seated. The three soul bones, the reward for the championship, lay quietly on a red brocade plate, emitting a faint light!

Their opponents today, the Spirit Hall Academy team, stood there silently, a strong and cold killing intent pressing over like a sharp blade!

Li Chang’an glanced at them indifferently, his cold and fierce aura released and withdrawn instantly. He directly suppressed their momentum, causing them to sway slightly, their eyes revealing surprise and caution!

Although the competition hadn't started yet, the confrontation between the two sides had already begun.

“The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament final is about to begin. Both teams prepare. The match will start in a quarter of an hour.”

Both teams returned to their positions.

Li Chang’an looked at the four teammates who hadn't made a single move from beginning to end, didn't even have names, and were purely there to make up the numbers. He said, “If things look bad later, just jump off the stage first. Today's battle is different from the past. The opponents are much stronger than any others.”

“Lingling, the same goes for you. If things look bad, get off the stage.” Li Chang’an then looked at Ye Lingling, who hadn't spoken. As a top-tier healing soul master, she was also there to make up the numbers since no one was injured. Her presence was too insignificant.

“……”

Ye Lingling didn't speak. Her cold eyes, hidden behind a veil, didn't reveal any emotion. She just nodded lightly, elegant and quiet.

“Yanzi, we might have to use that move later.” Li Chang’an looked at Dugu Yan. Today’s opponents were not simple. If he didn't want to reveal too much strength, using a martial soul fusion skill to fool others would be the most appropriate method.

A quarter of an hour wasn't long. Soon, the team members entered the plaza under the referee's instructions.

The Spirit Hall Academy team's uniforms were white, pure white, embroidered with six patterns symbolizing the Spirit Hall. The three people walking in the front each wore a purple badge shaped like a book on their left chest. That was a symbol of their honor.

The man walking in the front was about 1.9 meters tall, with neat black short hair standing up like steel needles, slender and powerful hands hanging on both sides of his body, with a calm expression.

On either side of the man were a man and a woman. The man had long fiery red hair, and even his eyes were dark red. His appearance was ordinary, but his demeanor was extraordinary. He had the air of a strong person.

The only woman among the three had long black hair, and her appearance was somewhat similar to the man in the front. This girl didn't seem particularly beautiful at first glance. But if you observed carefully, you could feel a different kind of charm from her.

These three were Xie Yue, Yan, and Hu Liena.

Known as the Spirit Hall’s Golden Generation.

The only people in the entire team that Li Chang’an needed to pay attention to were these three. Or rather, only Xie Yue and Hu Liena. As for Yan, he was purely there to make up the numbers.

Both teams stood on the stage.

“Prepare for the match. Both sides can release their martial souls.”

The red-robed bishop, acting as the referee, announced immediately after both sides stood still.

Neither side spoke.

But the intense collision of auras instantly raised the tension to the limit!

At this time, even a powerhouse like Pope Bibi Dong completely focused her attention on this match.

In the next moment, the seven members of the Spirit Hall Academy team moved almost simultaneously, and surging soul power erupted from their bodies instantly.

The three people standing at the front, Xie Yue, each had the best soul ring configuration of two yellow, two purple, and one black, five soul rings. The other four behind them also had the best configuration of two yellow and two purple, four soul rings.

The gazes in everyone's eyes became extremely persistent. One of the male students standing at the back quickly took a step back, holding a brilliant golden scepter in his hand. Undoubtedly, he possessed a support-type weapon soul.

At the same time as they released their martial souls, the Heaven Dou team also began to act.

Except for Li Chang’an and Dugu Yan, who activated their martial souls and stood still, the other five people, including Ye Lingling, didn't even activate their martial souls and immediately turned around and ran towards the edge of the stage.

This scene was not beyond the audience's expectations. After all, from the previous matches, everyone could see that the only ones in the Heaven Dou team who could really fight were Li Chang’an and Dugu Yan. The rest were purely there to make up the numbers.

“The match begins.”

While announcing the start of the final battle of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, the red-robed bishop quickly retreated, clearing the space.

The first one to move on the Spirit Hall Academy team was not the captain Xie Yue, but his sister Hu Liena.

Moving lightly, Hu Liena seemed to have come to the front with just a turn of her body. A faint smile appeared on her face. With the release of her martial soul, she seemed to have become more beautiful, and a fluffy tail grew from her back.

A light red light emerged from her body, her eyes flashed, and she looked at Li Chang’an, posing coquettishly and using her charm.

Anyone else might have really fallen for it.

But in Li Chang’an’s eyes, who had a strong mental power and had watched countless films in his previous life, Hu Liena’s coquettish behavior looked fake no matter how he looked at it. He even felt a bit cheap, making him want to slap her.

So that’s what he thought in his heart, and that’s what he did with his hand.

“Slap!”

Before Hu Liena could react, she only felt a huge force coming from her left face!

The whole person spun directly in place, took off into the air. Rolling like a top, she crashed into her teammates behind her.

Stunned!

Not only was Hu Liena stunned, but even the audience was stunned.

As a third party outside the arena, they clearly saw that when Hu Liena was posing coquettishly, Li Chang’an directly reached out his hand and slapped her lightning-fast from the air. Then, Hu Liena seemed to have really been slapped, and was directly slapped away.

“Hiss!”

This slap looked painful. Many viewers seemed to have a burning sensation on their faces.

Many male viewers secretly said in their hearts: “This Li Chang’an is too unromantic, isn’t he? Facing such a delicate beauty, he is willing to use such a heavy hand. He is really clueless!”

When Bibi Dong, Hu Liena’s teacher, who also regarded her as her own daughter, saw this scene, she couldn’t help but clench the scepter in her hand. She even had murderous intent!

As the saying goes, don’t hit people in the face. But this kid specializes in hitting people in the face. It’s too infuriating.
