Douluo: System Cross-Dressing as Qian Renxue Empress Consort

Amidst the congratulatory cheers from the crowd, two willow branches suddenly landed on Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun.

A green glow flickered.

After a moment, their injuries began to heal somewhat. At least they could stand and speak now.

The willow branches transformed into bindings, pulling the two of them upright.

Both Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun focused their eyes, looking at Li Yu with a terror that was as if they were staring at a great demon.

Li Yu, however, was smiling happily. "Both of you, apologize to my team member."

She paused. "And remember to be sincere."

After finishing her words, Li Yu continued smiling, her expression innocent as she looked at them.

Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun both trembled inwardly. They didn't dare to defy her and immediately bowed deeply toward Qian Yu Academy. "We apologize for the words we spoke to Miss Zhu Zhuqing earlier. Please don't take it to heart. We were wrong!"

After speaking, they didn't dare lift their heads, afraid that the earlier punishment might be repeated.

Zhu Zhuqing felt a surge of anger in her throat, wanting to immediately tear open the throats of the two of them with her claws.

But she knew the occasion, and Li Yu had already given her enough face by going this far. She shouldn't ask for more and should know her limits.

However, she ultimately couldn't bring herself to forgive them, so she merely grunted in acknowledgment, signaling her stance.

"At least you've learned to behave." Li Yu chuckled lightly, and the willow branches once again formed in front of her. She walked back, step by step.

Dugu Bo, seeing this, glared at Li Yu, scolding him, "Look at you. You're too rough. You've turned those Star Luo geniuses into this state. They still have another match to fight!"

He paused, then added with a bit of reluctance, "Fortunately, I've gathered some treasures over the years. With their injuries, I can easily heal them, and it won't affect the upcoming battle!"

After speaking, Dugu Bo didn't wait for anyone's reaction. He raised his right hand, and two emerald green sprouts appeared, shooting directly toward Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun.

"Weisi, Zhuyun..." The leader of Star Luo Royal Academy was startled, thinking Dugu Bo intended to harm them.

But he was too weak to stop it in time.

The two green sprouts had already merged into Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun bodies. The next moment, a green glow enveloped them.

The audience watched in shock as the two, who had been heavily injured, with their breaths shallow and bodies covered in wounds, quickly regained much of their strength and Soul Power in just a few breaths!

After only a few more minutes, Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun had returned to their peak condition!

Their scars had disappeared completely.

If it weren't for the torn clothes still hanging on their bodies, with large patches of skin exposed, the audience might have thought that the fight had never happened.

"What kind of treasure is this that has such an incredible effect?" Not only the ordinary Soul Masters, but even Chen Xin and Bibi Dong were stunned, staring at Dugu Bo.

"A treasure like this, and Poison Douluo is so generous?" Sword Douluo Chen Xin couldn't help but speak up.

A treasure that could instantly restore a Fourth-Ring Spirit Ancestor from a state of severe injury and exhaustion to peak condition—its value couldn't be simply measured in terms of money.

Even Dai Weisi, Zhu Zhuyun, and the Star Luo Royal Academy leader, who had once looked at Dugu Bo with hidden hatred, now gazed at him with awe.

"The tolerance and actions of a Title Douluo really can't be guessed by us. Such a treasure, and he just gave it away without hesitation!" they thought.

"Generous?" Dugu Bo smiled and said, "No matter how precious a treasure is, it's meant to be used on people. I've been wondering how to use this treasure. After all, I can't use it myself, and with Dugu Yan and Yu'er under my protection, they don't need it either. It's just been sitting around, so it doesn't really do me any good!"

He paused, smiling even more happily, then his gaze shifted to the Star Luo Royal Academy leader: "Luckily, it's finally being put to use. And someone is finally paying for it. I'm naturally willing to give it."

The entire arena fell silent.

Everyone had originally thought that Dugu Bo was in a good mood after advancing to level 96 and was therefore giving away such a treasure.

But now it seemed they had overestimated things.

This wasn't a gift at all—this was blatant extortion, taking what he wanted while demanding payment!

Not only had he beaten their prince, but he also expected them to pay for it!

"Well, this treasure is precious, but with the foundation of the Star Luo Empire, I'm sure they can afford it. It's not like I'm going to come asking for debt!" Dugu Bo continued, seemingly unaware of the shock he was causing.

"Moreover, if it weren't for this treasure, your Star Luo Royal Academy would have been eliminated in the third round," he added.

"If you all want to give me face and allow Li Yu to resolve her personal matters, it's just a small detour. Surely, the Star Luo Empire wouldn't delay the match by ten days or half a month, right?"

"Eh!"

"It's not impossible!" Dugu Bo feigned surprise, "Is the Star Luo Empire planning to directly ally with Spirit Hall?"

"Other than that, I can't think of any other possibility."

With his words, the atmosphere became heavy, and all eyes turned to Bibi Dong.

If such a situation occurred, Spirit Hall and the Star Luo Empire would undoubtedly force the other factions to unite and resist Spirit Hall!

After all, if the Star Luo Empire fell under Spirit Hall's control today, more than half of the continent's territories would fall under Spirit Hall's influence.

With so many Title Douluos and an army, Spirit Hall wouldn't hesitate to expand, aiming to control the entire continent.

At that point, every faction would be in danger!

Thus, even though Dugu Bo remarks were likely nothing more than a provocation, and the situation might not happen, everyone held their breath, waiting to see Spirit Hall's stance.

"Heh, Poison Douluo's imagination is indeed rich," Bibi Dong laughed lightly, as if nothing had happened. She didn't respond to Dugu Bo comments and instead returned to the matter at hand.

"The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament is the grandest and most serious competition. I am giving Poison Douluo face because this won't take much time, and it's also to congratulate Poison Douluo on his promotion to level 96."

"If you suggest postponing the match, that's absolutely impossible."

"Now, Poison Douluo has even brought out such a treasure to ensure the normal progress of the tournament. I'm sure he understands the seriousness of this competition."

"Therefore, there's no need for me to say more. The Star Luo Empire should also remember Poison Douluo's favor this time."

After speaking, Bibi Dong didn't give the Star Luo Royal Academy leader or anyone else a chance to speak. She directly concluded the matter.

The Star Luo Empire must provide Dugu Bo a treasure of equal value, or it would be a slap in the face to everyone present.

Then, Bibi Dong swept her gaze around and calmly said, "Let the match continue."
