Douluo Dalu: The Legend of Heavenly Ruler
chapter-161

--- Chapter 161 ---

Liu Erlong calmly looked back at the two sides of people and saw her disciple intently glared at the Golden Generation.

Su Yanyu also gave her a frowning gaze, which caused Liu Erlong to chuckle inside because she can assuredly know what her disciple was thinking about this tournament.

'She must be frustrated because I didn't tell her about this first.' Liu Erlong thought while shaking her head a little.

Liu Erlong slowly moved her gaze to Hu Liena and noticed this young lady also looked at her with a frown.

"Well, I won't drag this much further, so I'll start explaining the format of this small tournament." Liu Erlong quickly stated, which caused everyone to pay attention to her.

She started telling them this tournament would be a team fight between the Golden Generation and the Tyrants, and there is only one match without any rematch.

"This is going to be a deciding match... Let's see which one of you is the loser." Liu Erlong smirked at them, which caused some people to grimace.

Hu Liena and Su Yanyu were about to ask something, but Liu Erlong suddenly continued, "I'll also add this. The winner of this fight will be the spirit hall's representative of the incoming continental tournament."

"WHAT!"

"NO WAY!"

Ba Jai abruptly raised his voice and looked at Liu Erlong with a darkened expression because doesn't this mean they won't compete in the incoming tournament if they lost.

"Hmm, Do you have a problem?" Liu Erlong asked with a smile on her face.

"Yeah, I don't agree!" Bai Jai responded rashly.

"Is that so...?" Liu Erlong's smile widened. "But, her majesty, The Supreme Pontiff has already agreed with me."

"W-What." Ba Jai hurriedly moved his gaze to Bibi Dong and saw her casually nodding her head.

Hu Liena wasn't so shocked about this, but she also wondered why her teacher agreed with this tournament.

Bai Jai, who was speechless, looked back to his teammates and found them indifferently reacting.

"Ba Jai, back off." Hu Liena calmly instructed, though clearly, he still won't accept this.

Su Yanyu slightly covered her mouth and casually commented. "Hee... To think, the Golden Generation would be afraid to lose."

"You!" Ba Jai furiously looked at Su Yanyu.

"BACK OFF..." Hu Liena coldly said while releasing spiritual pressure from her body, which caused Ba Jai's eyes to widen.

Huo Shun suddenly grasped Ba Jai's shoulder and gave him an indifferent look. "We only have to win, so accept it. I don't want the Golden Generation to lose faces because of you." He said with a cold tone.

Ba Jai's body shook a little because almost everyone in the team stared at him with the same gaze, which caused him to lower his face.

"Please continue." Huo Shun naturally turned around and nodded his head at Liu Erlong.

Liu Erlong shrugged her shoulders and continued to explain a few more things about the tournament.

The fight between the Golden Generation and the Tyrants is so simple because they only have to defeat each other until only one team is left standing in the arena.

"So... Any questions?" Liu Erlong asked, and none of them responded to her.

.

"Since there is no further question, you guys can prepare yourself first." She continued.

Hu Liena brought her teammate to a nearby tall tree and had a few words with them, which caused them to frown because they couldn't believe she'd planned such a thing in such a short amount of time.

"I will repeat once again. We'll defeat the Tyrants as fast as we can, but our priority is their auxiliary spirit master first." Hu Liena said with a solemn expression.

Yan laughed a little and confidently said, "Leave it to me. I'll defeat her with one strike."

Hu Liena didn't have a problem with his confidence, but to guarantee their victory, they should quickly defeat the opponent's auxiliary master because that girl could heal and buff their strength.

"Shun, you go with Yan." Hu Liena calmly instructed the gray-haired boy, who immediately nodded his head because he understood his role in this fight.

"While they are dealing with the auxiliary spirit master, we'll go forward to face Su Yanyu." She added, to which the other four responded with a nod.

Su Yanyu, on the other hand, calmly observed the Golden Generation and looked back at her team with a relaxed expression.

"I won't say anything, except stick with our usual pattern." Su Yanyu said while looking at them.

Liu Erlong had taught them how to fight as a team and as an individual, and even the support spirit master is no exception because she taught them close combat directly by her.

They might not attack as actively as the other members, but the auxiliary/support spirit master in the Tyrant wasn't a bunch of weak people.

Su Yanyu looked at the maroon-haired girl beside her and said, "Jiang Zhu, you probably will be the first target, so do your best not to get hit and heal us in close range."

Jiang Zhu smiled and responded, "Don't worry, I won't take a risk."

Su Yanyu nodded her in satisfaction and moved her gaze to Liu Erlong, who stood still in the arena with a stoic expression.

As both teams' preparation was over, they walked toward the stage and stopped perfectly in front of each other.

Hu Liena and Su Yanyu glared at each other, and a heavy atmosphere immediately spread out from them.

"Okay, stop giving murderous glares at each other. Haa, This isn't a death fight." Liu Erlong commented while releasing a sigh.

They moved their gazes and looked at Liu Erlong so that she could start the fight.

"Activate your martial soul." Liu Erlong naturally stated.

The Golden Generation and the Tyrants instantly released spirit energy from their bodies, manifesting a few tools and transforming into a half-beast.

Hu Liena has literally become a fox girl with a fluffy purple tail and pointy fox ears, which twitched a little because she becomes sensitive to spiritual energy in this state.

"Spirit Ancestor, what a surprise..." Su Yanyu said while looking at four spirit rings floating around Hu Liena's body.

She shook her head for a moment and casually raised her hand to the air, creating a spear made of wind.

Su Yanyu's body burst into vivid green light, and her spirit rings immediately floated around her.

"White, yellow, purple, and purple." Hu Liena casually said while looking at Su Yanyu's spirit rings. "Your fourth spirit ring had exceeded 5,000 years old."

"As expected, you have keen eyes." Su Yanyu giggled a little.

Liu Erlong stood in front of them and slightly raised her hand. "I want this fight to be a clean fight." She firmly said.

"Even though you are allowed to injure your opponent, you cannot kill them, or your team would instantly lose." She continued, to which both teams responded with a nod.

Liu Erlong slightly looked at Bibi Dong and waved her hand down.

"Start the fight!" She declared.

Hu Liena and Su Yanyu confronted each other without further ado and activated their spirit skills.

"Chaos Fog." Hu Liena's second spirit ring shone, and purplish gas quickly covered them.

Poof!

"Like I'd you do that." Su Yanyu sneered while grasping her hand and activated her own spirit skill, which blew out a powerful wind blast.

Boom!

The purplish gas got blown away by the wind blast, and Su Yanyu noticed two of the Golden Generation have disappeared.

"Up." Su Yanyu looked at two shadows, who were fell toward them.

The Tyrants immediately jumped away from their positions, but Huo Shun had activated his spirit skill, which slowed down their movement speed.

"TREMOR BLAST!" Yan excitedly shouted, and a powerful blast swept over the stage.

BOOM!

"Jiang Zhu!" Su Yanyu yelled, and bright pink light swiftly appeared in the arena.

"Tch, We fail," Yan mumbled in wonder because Jiang Zhu surprisingly survived that attack and healed her entire team instead.

Hu Liena frowned a little and quietly muttered, "...This is going to be a harder fight than I had assumed."
