Douluo Dalu: Legend Of Xiao Yan

'...Shit.' Xiao Yan cursed inwardly, sweat dripping down the side of his head. 'Capable of consuming Heavenly Flames like it's water? Also has the ability to control different elements of the world... Yeah, we're pretty much fuċkėd.'

He knew that Cai Lin was pretty awesome in his past life, but he didn't knew that she was OP!

Capable of consuming Heavenly Flames and controlling different elements or laws of the world, isn't that like a power only a main protagonist or antagonist should have?

Oh wait.

"Okay guys! New plan." Xiao Yan yelled, quickly catching their attention.

Right now, they were currently in the waiting area in the spirit arena; located just from one side of the building and they were already here because they were just ten minutes away from entering the arena.

"Change of plans, why?" Ma Hongjun asked with a incredulous expression, because they were just minutes away from fighting.

"Yeah sorry about that, but I just remembered something important of the Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python."

At first they looked at Xiao Yan with frustrated looks but turned serious when the latter was having a serious expression.

"The Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python is a very powerful spirit, capable of devouring Heavenly Flames like it's water and has control over nine elements of the world, probably air, water, earth, fire, lightning, light, dark, space and time; these elements are what I can think about."

"Are you kidding me?!" Oscar yelled out with a disbelieving expression, his hands holding his head. "Capable of eating Heavenly Flames and has the abilities of only guess nine elements, which the last two are terrifying to think about." Everyone else nodded in agreement.

"But wait, doesn't that mean Xun Er fighting Medusa makes the former in total disadvantage?" Ning Rongrong, biting her thumbnail, said with widened eyes as she and the others turned towards a frowning Xun Er.

"...I can–"

"No." Xiao Yan interrupted her with a shake of his head. "I'm sorry Xun Er, but this isn't the time for pride. Your entire fighting style is centered with your spirit, Vast Sun. It might not be a Heavenly Flame but it is still a flame, and I'm not going to gamble on whether or not the enemy can't consume it." The others nodded in agreement, causing Xun Er to bit her lower lip in frustration.

'I'm sorry Xun Er, but it's for your own good.' Xiao Yan is probably the only one who knows that the spirit of Xun Er is the heavenly flame, Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame. It's best that she stays far away from Medusa.

"... Alright fine, I'll be the one to fight the spirit master with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon while Boss Dai and Xiaotao deal with Medusa." Xun Er conceded and offered a solution.

"Okay." Xiao Yan agreed along with Dai Mubai and Ma Xiaotao.

"... Shrek Ten Commandments!" Suddenly, the voice commenter for tonight was heard.

"Alright! Let's do this team! Hora!" Ma Hongjun and Oscar both scream in excitement as they huddled together.

"Shush!" Zhu Zhuqing quickly shut them up with a icy glare.

"Get ready everyone!" Dai Mubai shouted, excitement in his eyes behind the white tiger mask. .

"Yeah!"

...

Suotuo Great Spirit Arena's Central Main Spirit Arena.

This place wasn't as large as those commoners who could only spectate in the sub arenas, in fact, if they came here, they would certainly believe that this was another sub field.

The entire area of the Central Main Spirit Arena was only a bit larger than the sub spirit arena fields. The most peculiar thing was that this Central Main Spirit Arena was exceedingly calm.

The reason was that the surroundings didn't have any outdoor stands, but each was a completely sealed box, only viewing the scene from behind crystal glass, concealing the VIP audience from outside.

These people didn't wish to easily reveal their identity here, even more they wouldn't cheer like ordinary people. They had to be classified as having their own kind of arrogant and aloof feeling.

Even more, the stakes here were big, even all the bets in the sub-venues put together would fall far short, in order to avoid conflicts between the nobles due to bets, it was even more important to conceal their identities, at least then nobody would know who won their money and even if they wanted to make reprisals they still wouldn't have any means.

Although the inside couldn't be seen through the crystal glass windows, the central main spirit arena's golden spirit tool lanterns shone dazzlingly, and the spirit fighting ring here was especially huge, since without outdoors spectators, the spirit fighting ring was able to have a diameter of over seventy meters.

Let alone team spirit fights with less than ten people, even if both sides had a hundred people there was enough room and spare for close combat fights.

The Central Main Spirit Arena altogether had twelve high level VIP rooms, and three hundred twenty common VIP rooms. These rooms were practically never empty; the high level VIP rooms had permanent owners, while the common VIP rooms were booked ahead at the start of each year.

Though there are certain exceptions to the high level VIP rooms... especially if a certain pretty boy had bargain with a certain manager in the spirit arena.

"Woah! This room is amazing!" Zi Yan said with stars in her eyes as she moved around her comfortable expensive leather chair that face towards the viewing glass window.

Ah Yin nodded as she helped herself to a bucket filled with buŧŧer popcorn along with her husband.

"I can't believe that you managed to bargain a VIP room from the manager Xiaogang. Also, aren't we suppose to be by the waiting area of our students?" Flender muttered towards his friend with a twitching lip. But he wasn't really complaining because he had a chair decorated with priceless jewels, just saying that he was dumbfounded by his friend's capability in bargaining.

"I merely asked the manager if we could get a better view of the fight, I didn't actually think that he would give us a high level VIP room free of charge."

Grandmaster simply said, but he did have a millisecond smug smile on his face towards his friend before he returned to his ever stoic handsome expression as he sat on the same leather chair as Zi Yan.

All the while Zhao Wuji sat quietly in his expensive seat with a bucket of honeyed popcorn.

Suddenly, in the Central Main Spirit Arena the already extremely bright golden lanterns once again increased in brightness, and their brightness was no longer spread in every direction but focused on the spirit ring, as if an enormous golden spotlight shone down from the sky, just right to envelop the entire spirit fighting stage. It was from the use of this kind of lantern type spirit tool that it could be seen how wealthy the Spirit Arena was.

In the middle of the spirit ring, the ground suddenly buckled upwards in a two meter in diameter circle, the section slowly rising up from the stage could be seen supported by a thick golden pillar, and rising with the golden pillar right now was a young woman.

The young woman only appeared eighteen or nineteen, wearing a dignified beautiful white dress, brown long hair in a large wave, well rounded ċhėst and an excitingly slender waist, an incarnation of astonishing beauty. In her hand she held a conical sound amplifying spirit tool, on her charming face a professional smile.

"We are very honored to once again see such distinguished guests."

The young woman in the white dress after rising to the intended location stepped out on the stage, turning in place and waving out at the surroundings. That platform that delivered her to the stage quietly withdrew back down, very quickly restoring to its original location, unexpectedly without leaving behind any trace.

"To be able to once again stand before all distinguished guests preside over the main Spirit Arena's great team spirit fight is Doudou's great honor. We hope all distinguished guests will be able to enjoy yourselves this evening. Today we have one highlight, we have tonight also only arranged this one spirit fight. Both sides battling are Spirit Elder and Spirit Ancestors, they both already possess silver spirit fighter badges. If one absolutely had to give them a title, I think the word 'genius' would be exceedingly suitable. Doudou will from beginning to end conduct commentary for all distinguished guests. Next, I would like to introduce to all distinguished guests the sides ready for battle."

"Emperor Team, captain: Medusa Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python Spirit Master..."

"Shrek Ten Commandments team, captain: Evil-Eyed White Tiger, White Tiger Spirit Master..."

This white dressed young announcer Doudou very skillfully introduced both the competing teams, the purpose very simple, precisely to raise the expectations of each VIP spectator.

"Well, Doudou has no more to say. Next, will the team members of both sides please take the field. Doudou is also a Spirit Elder level Spirit Master, and is truly very eager to see what brilliant display some of these Spirit Masters on the same level as Doudou will show us."

While she spoke, white light suddenly burst out from this presenter Doudou, immediately following, in her brown long wavy hair suddenly appeared a lock of white, and behind her back extended a pair of pure white wings. Three yellow spirit rings simultaneously appeared around her, the third spirit ring flaring, wings lightly beating, unexpectedly bringing her soaring into the air with the sound amplification tool. Just like what Doudou said herself, she was also a Spirit Elder level Spirit Master, although her third spirit ring wasn't an ideal thousand year level, the ability bestowed on her by this spirit ring was clearly flight. To a flying type spirit's Spirit Master, this was extremely significant. Doudou's spirit was a kind of adorable and gentle animal symbolizing peace: White Dove.

On either side of the spirit ring, two sliding doors silently opened wide, both sides' team members simultaneously entering the venue, walking into the center of the spirit fighting stage.

On the left side was Emperor Team. Medusa, Dugu Cai Lin, walked in front first in grace and arrogance with her fiery red hair flowing around by the wind, walking behind her was the quiet and purple dressed Xiao Yi Xian whose eyes widened with hope. After them was Yu Tianheng and the other two Dugu sisters: Dugu Yan and Dugu Lin along with the latter was Xie Lingling. Then came Osler and Yu Feng, both walking with a carefree expression on their face. Lastly then came the Shi brothers.

Compared to the all uniquely dressed Emperor Team members, Shrek Ten Commandments' side appeared much more uniform. The same black tight fitting clothing, the same white masks. Although their height varied, with one look could be seen this was a group in orderly formation.

Standing in front was Dai Mubai, looked at Dugu Cai Lin with a fierce glare, which the latter, despite not really knowing the former was glaring at him due to the white mask, regardless, returned with a look of disdain at him. Standing on both of his side were Xiao Yan and Tang San, both looking towards a certain frozen fairy doctor.

Standing behind the trio were Xun Er, Ma Xiaotao and Xiao Wu all who was just glaring randomly at the members of Emperor Team for show. Ma Hongjun and Oscar did the same as they, along with a face palming Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, started flipping birds at the other team.

Dugu Cai Lin snorted, now uninterested of Dai Mubai's attempt of glaring at her, and turned towards a certain skull masked spirit master.

'Hmph. How borish, this fight is going to be–!'

Her eyes widened, a feeling of electrical shock spread her entire body as her eyes met the white mask of Xiao Yan.

Her heart was beating up than normal. She felt both pain and joy in her soul, as if it had finally found the most precious and important someone it had been searching for.

She held her right fist over her left ċhėst, thinking.

'What is this feeling?'

"Both sides participating in the team spirit fight please take note, you have one minute to begin summoning your spirits. As I declare the start of the match, both sides can attack, until one side concedes, knocked unconscious or have been thrown off the spirit stage."

Doudou hovering in midair while flapping her white dove wings, used her gentle and beautiful voice to speak to both teams.

Her voice, had spark the fuse for the entertainment of the VIP guests while it signifies the battle between the Shrek Ten Commandments and Emperor Team.

'Huh? Shit. Get a hold of yourself!'

'I'll think about that later on, for now, it's time to fight.' She smiled, revealing a pair of sharp pointy fangs, her pair of white snow legs disappeared and was replaced into a long multicolored scaled snake tail. Four circular spirit rings appeared running up and down her body; one purple and three black.

Seeing that, and instead of Dai Mubai initiating to release his spirit, Xiao Yan was the first to release his.

Yellow hot flames covered Xiao Yan's entire body, his spirit, the Heavy Xuan Ruler, stood firmly in front of him in his hands. Three shining spirit rings rotating around his edgeless black sword; one purple and two black.

This marks the start, of the Emperor Team vs Shrek Ten Commandments.
