Chapter 155: The Gap…
"Dugu Yan truly lives up to her reputation as the Poison Douluo's granddaughter; at such a young age, she has already mastered such a terrifying poison!"
Even with Dugu Yan holding back, the unique nature of the Earth Fiend Rust Poison still drew exclamations of admiration from everyone.
"What a unique poison. Its only drawback is its slow spread. What a pity!" Tang San also watched Dugu Yan use the Earth Fiend Rust Poison. As a disciple of the Tang Sect, he was most skilled in using poison, and in an instant, his face showed surprise, but then he shook his head, because in his eyes, this poison could not affect him.
Looking at the contestants in this competition, his true opponent was only Pei Qing!
Thinking of his seven-person Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Tang San couldn't help but reveal a confident smile.
"You performed well, Sister Yan. Your acting is truly getting better and better; one could even say you're a born actress."
The Earth Fiend Rust Poison displayed by Dugu Yan was slow, requiring the opponent to be restrained first to envelop them. However, the true Earth Fiend Rust Poison allowed Dugu Yan to poison her opponent at will, as long as they stood on the ground, completely killing them invisibly.
"Pei Qing, have you never heard that women are born actresses?"
Ye Lingling also smiled faintly at this moment, turning her head and softly speaking to Pei Qing.
"Hmph, that was too easy. My opponent couldn't hold on before I even used my full strength!"
Dugu Yan let out a light snort, seemingly a bit displeased. She finally had a chance to fight, but she couldn't even fight to her heart's content, which was truly frustrating.
"Sister Yan's strength is simply not something these people can compare to, so naturally, they can't satisfy Sister Yan."
Zhu Zhuqing, who had been silent for a long time, immediately spoke up to comfort her.
"Hehe, Zhuqing really knows how to talk. Come, let me hug you!"
Upon hearing Zhu Zhuqing praise her strength, Dugu Yan immediately beamed with joy, pouncing over and rubbing her head forcefully against Zhu Zhuqing's chest a few times.
Immediately, Zhu Zhuqing's small face flushed red; she was made shy by Dugu Yan's actions.
"Sister Yan, please don't be like this…"
Pei Qing withdrew his gaze, a ripple forming in his heart.
"It seems Zhuqing is doing quite well, which is good—very good."
In the distance, a woman who resembled Zhu Zhuqing by seventy to eighty percent watched all of this with gentle eyes.
Her gaze was very subtle, not allowing anyone to see it.
"Zhu Zhuyun, it seems we underestimated the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team. I didn't expect them to have a Soul King!"
At this moment, a man who resembled Dai Mubai by eighty to ninety percent strode over.
This person was Dai Weisi, several years older than Dai Mubai, and currently the Crown Prince of the Star Luo Empire.
"Zhuqing is quite sensible; she knows there will be no good outcome if she competes with us, so she actually gave up on Mu Bai voluntarily."
"This is very good. If there's a chance in the future, Zhu Zhuyun, you can bring her back to the Crown Prince Palace."
"At that time, I will treat her well."
In the Star Luo Empire's imperial family, every emperor had to step on the corpses of his brothers to ascend to the throne.
And after killing his brothers, the victor had two ways of dealing with his brothers' women.
One was, naturally, to kill them to eliminate future troubles, and the other was to turn the brothers' women into his own.
Such things were not uncommon in the Star Luo Imperial Family; at least, Dai Weisi had never thought of killing Zhu Zhuqing.
On the contrary, the mere thought of Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun serving him together ignited a fervent desire within him.
"Let's talk about this after Your Highness wins."
Zhu Zhuyun's face was grim; she glanced at Dai Weisi and spoke coldly.
She was quite familiar with the Dai Family's sordid ways. Now that Zhuqing had escaped the Dai Family's cage, how could she possibly allow her to fall back into it?
As for Dai Weisi, Zhu Zhuyun initially liked him very much, but now her heart held only resentment and helplessness.
The Zhu Family had always been subordinate to the Dai Family, and the daughters of the Zhu Family could only ever submit to the men of the Dai Family.
It was just a pity that the Zhu Family could not resist, and Zhu Zhuyun herself could not oppose Dai Weisi.
"Hahaha, I won't lose. After all, Mu Bai will never be my opponent!"
Dai Weisi sneered, glancing at Zhu Zhuyun and speaking with great arrogance.
He naturally knew Zhu Zhuyun's inner thoughts, but the Zhu Family was born to submit to him; Zhu Zhuyun only needed to listen to his words.
If she resisted, then she was being a little ignorant!
As the first match concluded, Bibi Dong also announced the start of the second match.
Then came match after match, and the Golden Generation also made their move.
Their appearance instantly ignited the entire venue. Three Soul Kings under the age of twenty directly plunged most of the students into despair.
After all, three Soul Kings brought too much pressure, and they were all Soul Kings under twenty years old—true prodigies. To become a Soul King at such an age certainly indicated extraordinary strength.
"Three Soul Kings; the strength of this Spirit Hall Golden Generation is quite good."
Dugu Yan couldn't help but be surprised as she watched Hu Liena and the others in the arena.
Her ability to break through to Soul King at this age was largely due to the Immortal Herb and the soul bone.
The Golden Generation's ability to break through to Soul King before the age of twenty showed their remarkable talent; it was undoubtedly extremely strong.
At least, before she consumed the Immortal Herb, her talent was far inferior to that of the Golden Generation.
"Hu Liena and the others are all geniuses cultivated by Pope Bibi Dong, so it's normal for them to have good talent."
"However, Sister Yan, there's no need to belittle yourself. Your current talent is no worse than theirs, and perhaps even superior."
After all, a True Dragon Martial Soul is far from comparable to any fox.
On the Douluo Continent, a Dragon Martial Soul is the ultimate truth.
It could be said that the True Dragon Martial Soul has surpassed ninety-nine percent of all Martial Souls on the continent.
Hu Liena and the others easily dealt with their opponents, and then she cast a provocative gaze toward Pei Qing.
Even if Dugu Yan was a Soul King, what then? Even if Pei Qing was also a Soul King!
But they had three Soul Kings and four Soul Ancestors, giving them the advantage.
This time, they would surely wash away past disgraces and re-prove the Spirit Hall Golden Generation!
Facing Hu Liena's provocative gaze, Pei Qing withdrew his gaze speechlessly.
People always center themselves and blindly believe in themselves, which is not good.
To be honest, with the strength of the Spirit Hall team, even if he didn't make a move, relying solely on Di Mingli would be enough to win easily.
However, since someone is seeking a beating, he has no reason to refuse.
Might as well give the other party a chance to see how big the gap truly is!
