Douluo: Starting from the engagement with Zhu Zhuqing

Chapter 52 The Curtain Opens
When Dai Mubai left, Dai Yao said something inscrutable:

"Don't worry, we'll see you later."

Dai Mubai was a little confused: "What do you mean?"

"You'll understand later."

······
Day two.

Facing the rising sun, Dai Yao opened his eyes.

After a brief wash, he changed into a plain white dress.

Zhu Zhuqing stretched out his hands, carefully arranged his clothes for him, straightened out the wrinkles, lowered his head, but did not speak.

Dai Yao understood her thoughts, stroked her back, and comforted her: "Don't worry, it's fine."

Zhu Zhuqing couldn't bear it anymore, and threw himself into Dai Yao's arms.

Her body was shaking, and Dai Yao noticed it.

"You must win, and you must come back alive." Zhu Zhuqing's voice was full of tears.

"I promise you, I will." Dai Yao said solemnly.

When he opened the door, two people were waiting for him.

It was Feng Wutong and Zhang Xiaofan, both of them had undisguised worry on their faces.

Dai Yao couldn't help joking: "Why do you keep a straight face, it's not like I won't be able to come back."

"You still have the mood to joke around." Feng Wutong couldn't help but give him a blank look.

"Your opponent is the second prince who has been famous in the academy for many years. He is powerful and famous. Although everyone is not optimistic about you, we will definitely cheer for you from the sidelines."

Zhang Xiaofan on the side also echoed.

"Are you so disrespectful to me?" Dai Yao said with a smile.

Looking at the two worried faces in front of him, he stopped joking and said seriously, "Don't worry, I will definitely win this duel."

Although the two of them didn't know where Dai Yao's confidence was, their tone made them relax.

······
The ten-day agreement between Dai Yao and the second prince attracted the attention of countless people.

The same prince, the same top-level beast spirit, the white tiger spirit, has also reached the realm of a great soul master, which can be said to be full of highlights.

Not only the students in the academy, but even many teachers are looking forward to this competition.

Not only the soul masters in the academy, but also many people from outside the academy.

The one with the highest status is naturally the Platinum Bishop Ferdinand of the Martial Soul Temple in Star Luo Imperial City.Because it was a duel between the two princes, it naturally attracted the five elders sent by the Presbyterian Council to the imperial city, as well as many nobles from the Principality.

As time passed, when the last ray of the moon horn disappeared into the sky, the fiery red light began to dispel the darkness on the earth.

As the first ray of morning light sprinkled into the college, the quiet atmosphere instantly dissipated.

The ten-day appointment has arrived.

The duel between the two princes specially opened the long-sealed White Tiger duel arena, which is the top duel arena that will only be opened during the elite competition of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy.

The reputation of the White Tiger Dueling Field resounds throughout the mainland. The dream of many soul masters when they were studying in the academy is to fight with all their might in the White Tiger Dueling Field.The White Tiger duel arena is very huge, and the whole is in a circular shape. Around the duel arena, the stone steps continue to spread upwards. This shape is like a huge arena.

Sitting on the highest stone steps, the duelists on the field are like ants. Only by using specific equipment can they see the duel scene.

Even so, the vast duel arena was crowded with people in a short period of time, and the boiling noise kept ringing in everyone's ears. The fiery atmosphere infected everyone who entered the arena.

And on the high platform of the duel arena, a huge open space was specially prepared, which was reserved for noble people.

Not only is the viewing angle the best, but the experience of watching the game is also much better.

But today's open space is also overcrowded, many soul masters from the Principality studying at the Royal Academy, and the nobles of the empire flock here one after another.

At the forefront of all, there are several positions left by coincidence.

The positions of the four princes represent the position of the fifth elder of the Presbyterian Church, Dai Hengyu, the vice president of the academy, and Ferdinand, the platinum bishop of the Wuhun Temple.

It's just a pity, because there are only ten short days, otherwise many people from the seven major sects will come.

Many people were already seated on the high platform. Amidst the din, Bishop Ferdinand endured Dai Yao's joy, forced a smirk on his face that he had maintained for many years, and challenged the Fifth Elder beside him:

"Oh, isn't it the same scene three years ago? It's just that the fourth prince's opponent has changed from the third prince to the second prince. Your Star Luo Empire is really full of talents, so many geniuses don't know how to cherish them."

He added another sentence in his heart: "The talents that you Xingluo imperial family don't know how to cherish, our Wuhundian will cherish for you."

The corner of the third prince Dai Mubai's mouth twitched, but he quickly adjusted, opened the jug, took a sip, and pretended to give up on himself.

The smell of alcohol made many people around secretly frown.

Hearing Bishop Ferdinand's eccentric tone, the fifth elder didn't show a good face:
"Hmph! Our Star Luo Empire has been passed down for thousands of years, so we naturally have something unique. It's not like your Spirit Hall. The pope was surnamed Qian yesterday, but today he's Bi. Maybe he'll be surnamed Hu tomorrow. There's no tradition at all."

The Fifth Elder wouldn't argue with Ferdinand about the family rules, but would directly retort and shoot at the other party's shortcomings.

But Ferdinand just laughed without saying a word, and even said in his heart: "Maybe the Pope will be named Dai tomorrow!"

Seeing Ferdinand with a smirk on his face, the fifth elder loathed him even more, and he always felt that there was something hidden in Ferdinand's smile.

On the court, the second prince had already sat quietly and adjusted his breath, waiting for his opponent to arrive.

Dressed in extremely delicate clothes, sitting on the field, with a personable demeanor, his appearance is not like the usual fortitude of the Baihu family, but rather handsome.

It made many female spectators in the duel field very excited.

Davis sat on the high platform, looked at Dai Yaming who was pretending, and sneered in his heart.

In the past three years, if he hadn't competed for the Star Luo Royal Academy team captain, he would have eliminated the two clowns Dai Yaming and Dai Yao long ago.

He clearly knew that Dai Yaming looked handsome and talented, but he was actually a deep-minded guy. He had accidentally suffered a few big losses.

"Dai Yaming, just wait, how you defeated that brat Dai Yao today, I will defeat you tomorrow. Since you still want to fight with me, then I will not be polite."

In his mind, Dai Yao had no chance of winning at all. After all, how could a soul master who had just obtained his second soul ring be the opponent of Dai Yaming, who had been immersed for many years and whose soul power had reached level 29.

With the passage of time, the time of the duel finally came.

The originally boiling duel field gradually quieted down, and everyone's eyes were focused on the passage on the other side, waiting for another duelist to appear.

The legendary coward of the academy, the fourth prince—Dai Yao!
Suddenly, Ferdinand's narrowed eyes widened suddenly on the high platform. After a quick look, he said, "Here we come!"
