Douluo Dalu 4: Ultimate Fighting

TL : GoldenLung

Everything was within Lan Xuanyu’s calculations. He had arranged the battlefield and through a strong control skill prevented his opponent from fully unleashing his speed and explosive power. After that, the rest was simple.

After a short 30 seconds, the ice fog gradually dispersed, revealing three figures.

Dong Qianqiu and Lan Mengqin stood side by side. In front of them was a hunched Yuan Rui, who had been frozen into a lump of ice.

Dong Qianqiu held an ice spear and pointed it at Yuan Rui’s chest. Yuan Rui lowered his head, his face filled with unwillingness.

“The victor has been decided. The first years have successfully succeeded in challenging someone of a higher year.” The referee appeared beside Yuan Rui in an instant and waved his palm down. The layer of ice on Yuan Rui’s body shattered, but even under the protection of his Battle Armor, his body continued to tremble.

Lan Mengqin held Dong Qianqiu’s hand and lifted her chin proudly before walking off the stage.

She actually wanted to laugh a bit because she could clearly see the surprise and despair on Yuan Rui’s face when he was forcefully controlled by Deep Blue Gaze, causing the electricity that he had accumulated to dissipate.

He had used up over half of his soul power in an instant! He had also used up most of the outburst power of his Battle Armor, but he didn’t even get the opportunity to use it before the battle ended.

Lan Xuanyu was too evil, everything went exactly according to his plan. Yuan Rui was completely restrained by the two of them.

In fact, Lan Mengqin felt that even if Yuan Rui didn’t use his Battle Armor, he wouldn’t be able to defeat Dong Qianqiu, who was especially good at restraining him.

From the very beginning, at the moment Yuan Rui appeared, the outcome of this battle was already decided.

The only moment of suspense in this battle was when Yuan Rui was accumulating power, which was what the audience thought. Whereas in Dong Qianqiu and Lan Mengqin’s eyes, Yuan Rui had no chance at all from the beginning.

Different soul masters were proficient in different things and each had their own nemesis. For example, assault-type countered agility-type, while agility-type countered control-type.

Yuan Rui looked very well rounded, but he was still weak to strong control. A single target control skill might not have any effect on him because it would be very difficult to lock onto him, but Deep Blue Gaze’s crowd control was different. No matter how fast he was, as long as one had enough foresight, it was enough to make his speed advantage disappear.

Although agility-type soul masters were able to restrain control-type soul masters, it still depended on the situation. Dong Qianqiu could be considered as an offensive and control-type soul master, and with her ice attribute, she was able to completely subdue Yuan Rui. Furthermore, she also had Lan Mengqin, a twin soul master, at her side. Lan Mengqin didn’t even use her Jade Phoenix Guqinn and they had won the battle. If not for him being a student of the same school, Yuan Rui wouldn’t even have been able to survive the blizzard if they had used their full strength.

On the spectator stand, Lan Xuanyu heaved a sigh of relief. Although everything was going according to his plan, he had bet 50 purple emblems! If he lost, he would really be bankrupt.

Of course, things were different now. He could pay back the loans and had earned 25 purple emblems! This could be said to be his biggest earning ever. With this much money, it was enough to buy mechas, not to mention the potential gain from the later matches.

It was time to get rich.

At the thought of this, Lan Xuanyu couldn’t help but smile, and his eyes were brimming with money…

The first years succeeded in their year-skipping challenge and had defeated the second years !

This news quickly spread throughout the Outer Court, but it didn’t cause too much of a stir. After all, they had already defeated the third years before. This time, they only defeated the second years, so how could this be a big deal ?

Next, they would be challenging the third years.

Lan Xuanyu immediately went to exchange for his rewards. When he saw the large pile of purple emblems in front of him, he couldn’t help but gulp.

He had endured all the pressure alone! Until now, his teammates were unaware of it. In fact, they had more or less all bet some themselves in this match and gained some benefits. But nobody knew that Lan Xuanyu actually took out so many emblems.

Looking at the 75 purple emblems in front of him, Lan Xuanyu really wanted to bet them on the next match. He still had some confidence in facing Tang Yuge.

But in the end, rationality prevailed over greed. They couldn’t continue. If they lost, all their previous efforts would go to waste and they would be in debt.

He took a deep breath and calmed himself down. Lan Xuanyu even pinched his thigh and relied on the pain to regain his rationality.

He put away all the purple emblems and wasn’t in a rush to place a bet on the next round. He walked out of the Gambling Center and headed to the Blacksmith’s Association. He planned to return the loan first.

“I knew you were here.” The moment he stepped out of the door, a faint voice came from the side, giving Lan Xuanyu a fright.

Lan Xuanyu turned around and saw a familiar figure.

“Senior sister, it’s not good to do something like this. I was so scared that I thought I was about to get robbed.” He was now wearing so many purple emblems, and he was truly frightened. Fortunately, they were in Shrek Academy.

Tang Yuge didn’t look too good. She was slightly pale and even her eyes were slightly red. “Lan Xuanyu, let me ask you something.”

“En? Tell me.” Lan Xuanyu looked at her doubtfully and said cautiously, “If you want to use me to get some intel about our lineup for the day after tomorrow, you can save your breath. I won’t say it, but I will definitely arrange a tactic against you.”

Tang Yuge shook her head. “Of course not. I just want to ask you, if I choose to repeat a year, would you guys accept me?”

“Ah?” Lan Xuanyu even thought that there was something wrong with his ears. ‘What’s going on? The top student among the third years has decided to repeat a year ? And she wants to repeat two years at once and join the first years ?’

“You’re not running a fever, are you?” Lan Xuanyu stared at her in shock.

Tang Yuge took a deep breath. “I’ve heard about what happened to you guys. Either you guys go together, or nobody does. I can tell you with certainty that without me, you guys might have a chance against the fourth years. But against the fifth and sixth years, you guys don’t have a single chance.”

Lan Xuanyu looked at her and said, “How can you be sure that we don’t have a chance? After all, it’s five against one or six against one. Hui Hui is almost at the peak of the five-ring realm.”

Tang Yuge laughed self-deprecatingly. “What do you think Shrek Academy is? Do you know how strong the fifth and sixth years are? An absolute gap in strength cannot be made up for by numbers. In fact, other than you guys, it is impossible for the second years to defeat us. It is also extremely difficult for us to defeat the fourth years, not to mention that the fifth and sixth years will be completely different. Those seniors are much scarier than you think because they are people who have truly experienced life and death and have ascended to a higher level. Even if your entire class were to go together, you might not be able to defeat a senior.”

Lan Xuanyu furrowed his brows. “If you want to be in our class, will the academy approve it?”

Tang Yuge said, “I think so. After all, I only requested to be demoted. And my results are the best among the third years. I have my reasons. You don’t have to worry about this, I’m just asking you, if I join the first years, would you accept me ?”

“Of course I would. I can’t wait for the first years to become stronger.” Lan Xuanyu had a good impression of Tang Yuge. She was indeed not suited to be a leader, but she was definitely a good partner. Also, she was extremely strong. If she joined the first years, the first years would become completely different. Furthermore, she had experience in making One-Word Battle Armors, which would be very helpful to everyone.

“But I’m afraid this will delay you for two years. After all, it shouldn’t be a problem for you to enter the Inner Court,” Lan Xuanyu said hesitantly.

Tang Yuge shook her head and said, “This is not me making a rash choice. I’ve thought about it carefully. Cultivating in a happy environment is different from cultivating in an unhappy environment. I like your team.”
