Douluo: System Cross-Dressing as Qian Renxue Empress Consort

"Stand up."

Bibi Dong spoke calmly, no longer looking at any of the Shrek members.

She closed her eyes and softly said, "The match continues."

Only then did the crowd return to their senses, their eyes turning back to the arena.

Li Yu and Xie Yue stood facing each other. The former smiled lightly, looking completely at ease; the latter's face was serious, but full of fighting spirit.

"You are very strong, but you've already fought eleven matches in a row. I can give you time to recover, I want…"

Xie Yue eyes became more intense, "to defeat you in an honorable way!"

The crowd gasped.

"Why not take advantage of the situation, what a fool, has Xie Yue lost his mind!"

"Such courage! This is the kind of arrogance our Spirit Hall's genius should have!"

"Arrogant fool! This is a competition, do you even know what rules are?"

The crowd murmured and discussed.

Ghost and Chrysanthemum Douluo frowned slightly, but when they glanced at Bibi Dong, they saw that her eyes were still closed, seemingly uninterested in the events unfolding on the stage.

Thus, they remained silent.

Since Xie Yue wanted to fight, let him fight. After all, this wouldn't decide the final champion.

Moreover, Xie Yue represented Spirit Hall's dignity at this moment, and since he had already spoken, withdrawing now would make Spirit Hall appear afraid of a Rank 5 Spirit King for the sake of a champion title.

So, they left the decision to the two combatants on stage.

"Oh?"

Li Yu hadn't expected this, but he smiled and shook his head, saying, "I respect the rules."

Xie Yue's eyes sharpened.

The members of Spirit Hall breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, afraid that Li Yu might actually agree to it.

"Since that's the case, let's begin!"

Xie Yue stopped talking and released his Martial Spirit. The [Moon Blade] appeared, and five soul rings—two yellow, two purple, and one black—floated around him.

Li Yu didn't hold back either, as willow branches from the tree behind him shot out toward Xie Yue, as if they were arrows.

"Control!"

Xie Yue moved calmly, his second soul ring flashing. Two blood-red crescent moon blades spun and a blood-red light shield appeared in front of him.

Cling! Cling! Cling!

The willow branches clashed with the shield but couldn't break through Xie Yue defense.

"Strong! Break! Slash!"

Xie Yue spoke softly as his fourth, third, and first soul rings flashed one after another.

The two spinning moon blades suddenly stopped, turning from defense to offense, directly cutting toward the incoming willow branches.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

Countless willow branches were severed in an instant, and the area in front of Xie Yue cleared up.

"Good! As expected of Xie Yue!" Someone cheered.

"Kill!"

At this moment, Xie Yue pressed his attack, his fifth soul ring flashing. He gripped a moon blade in each hand and swiftly charged toward Li Yu.

Two blood-red crescent moon blades were slashed out, and within moments, they reached Li Yu.

Li Yu remained calm, raising his hand. The willow branches grew wildly and quickly enveloped him into a ball.

However, this ball made of willow branches couldn't stop the crescent blades. In just an instant, they were cut into pieces, unable to offer any defense.

"You lost!" Xie Yue reached Li Yu and stared into his eyes.

Though he shouted "You lost," Li Yu calm eyes felt like a sharp contrast, making Xie Yue uneasy.

Without any hesitation, Xie Yue didn't hold back. In an instant, he spun his body, and his arms straightened, holding the moon blades both forwards and backwards. A round moon then appeared.

"This is my self-created soul skill, Round Moon. It's an honor for you to see it!"

Xie Yue was full of confidence.

With this self-created soul skill, he had previously defeated a Spirit Emperor with Na Na.

Now, although it wasn't as strong as before, it was still invincible within the ranks of Rank 5 Spirit Kings!

"Oh?"

Li Yu raised an eyebrow, smiling, "It truly is an honor."

Xie Yue expression changed slightly. Li Yu calmness made him feel uneasy.

"Stop acting like you're some sort of god!" Xie Yue sneered, not believing that Li Yu, a fellow Rank 5, could withstand his self-created soul skill.

The Round Moon slashed down fiercely.

Puff!

It felt as if a mere skin was easily cut open. Xie Yue relaxed slightly in his heart, thinking, "You didn't surrender, so if you die, it's not my fault, what a pity..."

But the next moment, Xie Yue expression suddenly tightened.

The coldness, sharp and bone-chilling, seemed to seep deep into his soul.

He looked closely and instantly realized that what had just been cut open wasn't some "skin," but a water bubble!

The same water bubble that had dealt with Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun Martial Spirit Fusion Skill, the White Tiger!

Now, he was trapped inside this water bubble.

He tried moving his arms, swinging the moon blades.

But he despairingly found that he couldn't move at all and couldn't even touch the bubble's wall.

Feeling the soul-chilling coldness and the rapidly draining soul and physical power, Xie Yue finally understood what Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun had gone through!

Xie Yue's gaze dimmed, and he realized he had lost.

Through the water bubble, he looked at the still-smiling Li Yu and felt a deep despair.

Why was there such a large gap in strength, even though they were both Rank 5 Spirit Kings?

Was he really this weak, even though he was one of Spirit Hall's golden generation?

"Alright, stop. You win."

The referee appeared beside Li Yu and halted the match, clearly having received instructions.

Li Yu stopped.

He had no personal grievances with Xie Yue, and after the misunderstanding in the Star Dou Forest, he had already beaten the three of them. He naturally wouldn't hold a grudge.

The water bubble dissipated, and Xie Yue fell again.

"You're very strong, but I will definitely defeat you next time."

Xie Yue glanced at Li Yu deeply before walking off the stage.

"Sixth round, second match, Qianyu Academy, Li Yu wins."

The referee's gaze was complex, then he said, "Seventh round, the next contestants, please enter."

The arena fell silent.

Li Yu had won twelve matches in a row!

"Did you all notice? This Li Yu, from the very beginning, stood in that spot and hasn't moved at all!" Someone exclaimed.

The crowd froze for a moment, more shocked by Li Yu strength.

Even the Title Douluos were slightly stunned.

Because of the previous interruption, they hadn't noticed this detail!

"This Li Yu soul power is probably more than just Rank 5!"

Sword Douluo Chen Xin murmured.

His words were not concealed, but also not meant to criticize. He was merely speaking out of instinct.

But while he spoke without ill intent, the listeners took it more seriously. Everyone realized that Li Yu displayed soul power was likely concealed.

But…

What kind of being or treasure could make a Rank 96 Super Douluo unable to see through it?

Bibi Dong opened her eyes and looked again at her daughter-in-law… or rather, her "daughter-in-law…"

"Heh."

Bibi Dong smiled faintly, glancing at Qian Renxue with curiosity.

Qian Renxue, felt Bibi Dong gaze, looked back without hesitation. But she saw that Bibi Dong eyes had already closed again, with a subtle smile still lingering at the corner of her mouth.

"Is she smiling at me?"

Qian Renxue shook her head, thinking she had misread the situation.

That woman… how could she possibly smile at me?
