Douluo: Starting with the Signing in of Goddess Xiaowu-Chapter 40: Invitational_1

"Of course not!" Chu Qin replied, "Zhu Qing, she still needs to participate in the Senior Soul Master Elite Competition!"

"How about this instead!" Ning Fengzhi proposed upon hearing this, "Chu Qin, bring them to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect! I have an affiliated school there, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School, that’s qualified to participate in the Soul Master Elite Competition!"

"Thank you for your kind offer, Uncle Ning!" Chu Qin declined, "But I already have a place in mind!"

"Where?" Ning Fengzhi asked with slight disappointment.

"Blue Tyrant Academy!"

"Blue Tyrant Academy? Where have I heard that name before?" Ning Fengzhi wondered, glancing at Sword Douluo.

"Fengzhi, you’ve forgotten! The Blue Tyrant Academy is a school under the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan, and the headmaster is none other than Liu Erlong, one of the former members of the Golden Iron Triangle! When the Blue Tyrant Academy was established, you gave a speech there," Sword Douluo reminded him with a smile.

"Oh..." Ning Fengzhi suddenly realized, "Liu Erlong, the Golden Iron Triangle! Ah, I remember, Director Flander of Shrek Academy is also one of the Golden Iron Triangle members, isn’t he?"

"It seems, Chu Qin, that Flander has already arranged things with you!" Ning Fengzhi looked towards Chu Qin and said.

Chu Qin nodded.

"That’s good!" Ning Fengzhi continued, "The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and my Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, both being among the upper three families, have always had a great relationship!"

"Hmm!" Chu Qin nodded.

After wandering around for the whole morning, Ning Fengzhi stretched lazily and said, "Chu Qin, it’s getting late, I should head back to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect!"

"Uncle Ning, let me see you off!" Chu Qin offered.

"No need! No need!" Ning Fengzhi shook his head and then took out a golden card from his Soul Guidance Container, "Chu Qin, there are five million golden soul coins in here. You’ve taken good care of Ning Rongrong these past days, consider this a small token of my appreciation!"

"No, Uncle Ning, I can’t accept this card!" Chu Qin refused.

"Take it, we’re not strangers after all, no need to be polite with me!" Ning Fengzhi insisted.

"Yes, Chu Qin, take it!" Ning Rongrong added.

"Alright then," Chu Qin finally accepted the golden soul coins and then, from his Soul Guidance Container, he took out a crystal ball, "Uncle Ning, this is a Soul Guidance Device with both offensive and defensive capabilities. I’ll give it to you!"

This Soul Guidance Device was the Level Seven Soul Guidance Device he had previously obtained. He had forgotten about it inside his Soul Guidance Container. When Ning Fengzhi gave him five million golden soul coins, he thought about giving something back, and then he remembered it!

Its name was Sphere of Light!

According to the System’s description, it was a Level Seven Soul Guidance Device!

Ning Rongrong and the others had too little Soul Power to use it effectively, and for Zi Ji, with the power of a Soul Douluo, it was somewhat superfluous!

Giving it to Ning Fengzhi was just right!

"An offensive and defensive Soul Guidance Device!"

Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo were both surprised at the same time.

"That’s right!" Chu Qin nodded and demonstrated by holding the Sphere of Light, "When you want to defend, just focus on defense, inject Soul Power into it, and it will form a golden barrier! To attack, simply input the attack command and it can launch a beam! If Uncle Ning uses it with your strength, you can shoot a beam at least as powerful as a Soul Douluo’s attack!"

"Really!" Ning Fengzhi said, visibly excited. Although he was the world’s number one support-class Soul Master, he possessed no offensive power.

This Soul Guidance Device that Chu Qin had was a great help to him!

"Uncle Ning, try it out!" Chu Qin nodded and handed the Sphere of Light to Ning Fengzhi, while calling over a Soul Sage from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

After the test was completed, Ning Fengzhi was in a great mood!

With this Soul Guidance Device, he was no longer just a support-class Soul Master!

He was very excited!

"Chu Qin, are you truly giving this to me?" Ning Fengzhi asked, looking at Chu Qin.

"Yes!" Chu Qin nodded, "Consider it a return gift for the five million golden soul coins you gave me!"

The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect was wealthy enough to rival a country!

Five million golden soul coins might be a huge sum to ordinary people, but to Ning Fengzhi, it was nothing!

This Sphere of Light, if auctioned, could bring in not just five million, but Ning Fengzhi would even pay twenty million for it!

Ning Fengzhi then realized how important a good son-in-law was!

"No need for thanks for such a great favor!" Ning Fengzhi replied, "Chu Qin, if you ever need the help of me, Ning Fengzhi, and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, I will surely assist you with all my might!"

"Uncle Ning, you’re being too formal!" Chu Qin answered, "Ning Rongrong is my woman, we are family!"

"Indeed, I was being too formal. Family doesn’t keep accounts between each other!" Ning Fengzhi answered with a smile...

After parting with Ning Fengzhi Sword Douluo, it was already approaching the afternoon!

It was too late to go to the Blue Tyrant Academy now, and Chu Qin found out that the invitation competition was scheduled for tomorrow!

The next day, at noon!

Blue Tyrant Academy!

As an affiliate of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the Blue Tyrant Academy had the Clan’s support, so even in the expensive Tiandou Imperial Capital, it occupied a forest as its school grounds!

At this moment, it was bustling with excitement in Blue Tyrant Academy Square!

Because today was the day of the invitation match between Blue Tyrant Academy and Tiandou Royal Academy!

In the previous Senior Soul Master Elite Competition preliminaries, Blue Tyrant Academy’s team had eliminated one of Tiandou Royal Academy’s teams, and with less than a year left until the current Senior Soul Master Elite Competition, this match was naturally garnering a lot of attention!

Aside from the two academy directors and the education commission, many high-ranking officials, elite students from nearby academies and powers, also came to watch!

"What do you think, who will win this invitation contest?"

"It should be the Royal Academy, right? Blue Tyrant Academy is all Soul Elders below level 35, while the Royal Academy even has a level 36 Soul Elder! The competition shouldn’t be too suspenseful!"

"I’m not so sure! This Yu Tianchao from Blue Tyrant Academy is a level 34 Soul Elder with the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Martial Soul inheritance. His strength shouldn’t be weak!"

"Definitely Blue Tyrant Academy will win! Director Erlong has said that if her academy loses, she will run around Tiandou Imperial Capital wearing skimpy lace attire!"

"Really?"

"You don’t know! Recently, students from the Royal Academy and Blue Tyrant Academy had a massive brawl that caused quite a stir! Prince Xue Xing of the Tiandou Imperial Family and the head of the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan were both alerted, and in the end, the Emperor himself intervened to mediate! Director Erlong made the promise herself in front of the Emperor!"

"Damn! Then the Royal Academy must win!"

While everyone was bustling and discussing the strength of both sides, on the main stage, a secluded figure sat cross-legged, her hand propping up her cheek, looking extremely proud and aloof!

This person, with cascading black hair and piercing eyes full of vitality, was clad in black armor that accentuated her fiery, perfect physique, unmatched by any other girl!

And she was none other than the Director of Blue Tyrant Academy, Liu Erlong!

At the moment, Liu Erlong was sitting cross-legged, her perfect figure highlighted to the fullest, attracting the covetous gazes of many men!

The mere thought of Liu Erlong running around dripping with sweat in skimpy attire sent a surge through many hormones!

"Director Erlong!" At this moment, the plump figure from Tiandou Royal Academy, Shi Mo, looked at Liu Erlong with a smile and said, "It’s about time. Shall we start?"

Right then, Shi Mo looked at Liu Erlong’s captivating posture and chuckled inwardly, thinking, "This invitation contest, you’re doomed to lose!"

"Let’s start then," Liu Erlong said, nodding her head with slight indifference.

"Both teams, please come up to the stage!"

As the referee’s voice rang out, fourteen slender figures stepped onto the ring!

"This competition will be in the form of defending the ring!" proclaimed the referee, "The winning team stays on to face the next team! The last team standing in the ring wins the contest!"

"Up next, Blue Tyrant’s Zero Team versus Royal Academy’s Team Three!"

At the mention of Zero Team entering the match, the crowd immediately burst into discussion!

"It seems that Blue Tyrant Academy really is determined to win by bringing out their seed team right from the start!"

"Brothers, the Director has made a promise in front of the Emperor!" said Yu Tianchao, the captain of Blue Tyrant Academy’s Zero Team, "We absolutely cannot let her lose face!"

"Go for it! Go for it!"

Similarly, the captain of Royal Academy’s Team Three shouted, "Come on, brothers! If we win this match, we’ll see the Director of Blue Tyrant Academy running in that skimpy lace outfit at our academy!"

"Oh!"

Then, the whole arena burst into action with Martial Soul Soul Rings being unleashed, leading to an exuberant battle!

This match was no surprise, Blue Tyrant’s Zero Team won!

After all, this was Blue Tyrant Academy’s seed team!

"The first match, victory to Blue Tyrant Academy!"

"Royal Academy’s Team Four, proceed to the stage!"

Royal Academy’s Team Four was arguably the weakest participating team from Tiandou Royal Academy, with all members being level 31 Soul Elders, thus Blue Tyrant’s Zero Team won again!

"It seems Blue Tyrant Academy is not as weak as imagined! They’ve consecutively defeated two teams from Tiandou Royal Academy already!"

"Not necessarily! Those were just the weakest two teams from Tiandou Royal Academy! Teams One and Two haven’t even been up yet! Not to mention, Tiandou Academy has a Zero Team as well!"

Sure enough, the referee’s next announcement shocked everyone: "The third match, Royal Academy’s Zero Team, Imperial Fighting Team, enter the ring!"

"As expected, Zero? Imperial Fighting Team!"

"Looks like Tiandou Royal Academy is getting serious!"

Everyone was taken aback!

The Zero Team was the undisputed core team of Tiandou Royal Academy, rumored to be the one that could win the championship of the Senior Soul Master elite contest!

Team captain Tian Heng and vice-captain Dugu Yan were Soul Elders of levels 39 and 38 respectively!

It’s worth mentioning that usually, during invitation contests, the competing academies wouldn’t field their true seed teams!

After all, these are the trump cards of the major academies, and they only appear in the actual Senior Soul Master elite contests!

This time, Blue Tyrant Academy had brought out their seed team due to Liu Erlong’s promise!

And now, the seed team from Tiandou Royal Academy was also here?

Upon hearing the words "Imperial Fighting Team," Yu Tianchao’s Blue Tyrant Team One all had their expressions tighten slightly!

They felt a powerful aura rushing towards them!

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, the Imperial Fighting Team slowly stepped onto the ring! At the forefront were two muscular giants with straight noses and square chins, the signature shields of the team, Shi Mo and Shi Mo!

Following them were Yufeng and Osro!

However, to everyone’s surprise, the last three people were not Tian Heng, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling!

Instead, they were three other men wearing masks!

"Huh, Tian Heng and Dugu Yan, as well as Ling Ling, the strongest trio of the Imperial Fighting Team, seem to be absent!"
