Douluo: AFK to Become a God

When Chu Chengzhou and the others returned to the one-on-one Soul Duel area, it was soon time for Xiao Wu's match to begin.

It was a stroke of bad luck for Dai Mubai, as Xiao Wu's opponent happened to be him.

As soon as the staff of the Soto Great Soul Arena announced the participants for the next match, Dai Mubai's face immediately darkened.

Xiao Wu, a 38th-level Soul Sovereign, although her Martial Soul appeared to be a harmless Soft Bone Rabbit, Dai Mubai knew very well that one should never underestimate the Martial Souls of any talented Soul Master.

A good cultivation talent often meant possessing a powerful Martial Soul. After all, if the Martial Soul was weak, how could one be considered a genius?

"Xiao Wu, you can do it!" Chu Chengzhou cheered her on, giving her a supportive glance.

Of course, with Xiao Wu's strength, it was a piece of cake for her to instantly defeat Dai Mubai.

Perhaps due to the fixed template of the transformation Soul Beast's Soul Skills, Xiao Wu currently had three Soul Skills, which were exactly the same as in the original story: Waist Bow, Charm, and Teleportation. However, aside from her first Soul Skill, her second and third Soul Skills had seen significant improvements compared to the original.

Additionally, Xiao Wu had also cultivated the Spirit Refining skill, which gave her a mental power far surpassing that of other Soul Masters at the same level. Once she used her second Soul Skill, Charm, Dai Mubai would definitely be forced into a state of control.

Of course, the effect of Xiao Wu's Charm Soul Skill was not some kind of seductive illusion, but rather, it relied purely on mental power to overwhelm and control. If it had been the former, Chu Chengzhou wouldn't have allowed Xiao Wu to use this skill on anyone else!

After all, such a wonderful Soul Skill—how could it be allowed to be enjoyed by others?

Ma Hongjun glanced at Dai Mubai and then at Xiao Wu but didn't say anything encouraging. After all, Dai Mubai had been his former leader, and he had to show some respect.

In the one-on-one Soul Duel area, the matches were arranged through a random draw. While other Soul Masters were competing, those waiting for their turn could choose to either watch or rest.

Each of the 24 sub-duel arenas in the Soto Great Soul Arena had a designated area for participating Soul Masters to watch the matches, and these areas were very close to the duel stage.

After the match on the duel stage concluded, Xiao Wu and Dai Mubai followed the staff to the arena for their battle, while Chu Chengzhou and Ma Hongjun went up to the spectator platform.

Although this was only one of the 24 sub-duel arenas in the Soto Great Soul Arena, the size of the arena was still quite large, with a diameter of 20 meters, providing ample space for Soul Masters to fully demonstrate their abilities.

At this moment, a middle-aged host and referee, dressed in a tailcoat, stood in the center of the stage and spoke loudly: "Next, we will begin the sixth match of the one-on-one Soul Duel at our 12th Soul Duel Arena today. The participants are two Soul Sovereigns, the Battle Soul Sovereign with the Beast Martial Soul White Tiger, 'Evil Eye White Tiger,' facing off against the Battle Soul Sovereign with the Beast Martial Soul Soft Bone Rabbit, Xiao Wu. Will the Evil Eye White Tiger emerge victorious, or will the newcomer, Xiao Wu, take the win? Let us wait and see! Now, please welcome the two Battle Soul Sovereigns to the stage."

Soon, as Dai Mubai appeared, the audience in the 12th sub-arena erupted in cheers, mostly from the female spectators.

There was no denying that Dai Mubai was quite handsome—tall, well-built, and with his striking heterochromatic eyes, he was very popular among young girls and women.

However, when Xiao Wu appeared, the cheers from the male spectators immediately drowned out the applause from the female fans.

No matter how handsome a young man was, how could he compete with a cute, bunny-eared, beautiful girl?

After all, the world was largely dominated by those with a certain… interest in cute things.

"The Soul Duel officially begins!" The middle-aged referee said as he began to leave the stage.

Immediately, both Xiao Wu and Dai Mubai summoned their Martial Souls, and three Soul Rings—yellow, yellow, and purple—glowed brightly.

Of course, Xiao Wu's Soul Rings had been disguised. Otherwise, anyone with sharp eyes would immediately notice the discrepancy between her second Soul Ring, which was over 900 years old, and her third Soul Ring, which was over 4,000 years old.

"Third Soul Skill, White Tiger Diamond Transformation!"

Knowing that Xiao Wu was certainly not a weak opponent, Dai Mubai immediately activated his third Soul Skill, White Tiger Diamond Transformation. His muscles, already swollen due to the Beast Martial Soul, expanded even further, and with the addition of his imposing White Tiger Martial Soul, his aura surged.

On the other hand, Xiao Wu appeared as innocent and lively as ever, showing no signs of reacting to Dai Mubai's use of his thousand-year Soul Skill.

However, as soon as Dai Mubai completed his transformation and charged toward Xiao Wu, she moved.

With a quick lunge forward, Xiao Wu activated her second Soul Ring, and a pink light flashed in her eyes.

Instantly, an invisible, intangible mental force descended, causing Dai Mubai's body to freeze mid-charge, leaving him standing motionless in place.

In terms of mental power, although both of them were offensive-type Soul Masters, how could Dai Mubai possibly compare to Xiao Wu, who had cultivated the black-level Spirit Refining skill?

Moreover, Xiao Wu's Soul Power was higher than Dai Mubai's, and she was using a nearly thousand-year-old mental control Soul Skill.

The 20-meter diameter Soul Duel arena wasn't very large, and the distance between the two was quickly covered in a flash. Xiao Wu kicked her long leg and delivered a powerful blow to Dai Mubai's chest.

At least, since they were from the same academy, Xiao Wu showed some mercy and didn't kick him in the face.

Though it seemed like an ordinary kick, it was important to note who was delivering it.

When Xiao Wu was at level 30, she could withstand a 4,000-year-old Soul Ring. Now, with her Body Refining skill upgraded to black-level, her physical strength was comparable to that of a Soul King at level 50. This kick was naturally incredibly forceful.

Had she kicked him in the face, Dai Mubai, with no ability to resist, would have certainly been injured.

"Boom!" With a loud sound, Dai Mubai's body flew into the air, forming a parabolic arc before crashing heavily onto the arena below, producing a muffled thud.

Immediately, the entire 12th sub-arena fell silent. Not only the audience but even the referee, who had just stepped off the stage and was preparing to watch the match, had their mouths wide open.

No one expected the battle to end so quickly. After all, the referee had just left the stage, preparing to watch the match!

Was this "Evil Eye White Tiger" Martial Soul really just a paper tiger?

"Wow, Xiao Wu is this strong?" Ma Hongjun, watching from the spectator platform, couldn't help but click his tongue in surprise.

"Of course! No exaggeration, there are very few Soul Sovereigns who can defeat Xiao Wu in the entire world," Chu Chengzhou said proudly.

Under his guidance... ahem... training, Xiao Wu's strength far surpassed that of the original story, and her combat ability was also much stronger than her counterparts at the same level.

Chu Chengzhou estimated that, within the continent, the only ones who could defeat Xiao Wu, under the same Soul Power level, would be himself, perhaps Tang San, who specialized in hidden weapons, and Qian Renxue, who possessed a divine Martial Soul and controlled domain powers.
