Chapter 21: and ===GLOSSARY===

Teacher Zhou, are you looking for your seed team? I just checked the draw—what a coincidence! Your selected seed team happens to be up against our class's seed team over there in evaluation area eight. Who do you think will win?

Translation: "Teacher Zhou, are you looking for your seed team? I just checked the draw, what a coincidence—your selected seed team just happened to run into our class's seed team over there, in assessment area eight. Who do you think will win?" Need to keep quotes? The Chinese line includes quotation marks. Should we keep them? Probably we should translate the content, not necessarily keep the Chinese quotation marks. Usually we translate the sentence, not keep the original quotes. We'll output English sentence without Chinese quotes. Use proper punctuation.

Thus: "Teacher Zhou, are you looking for your seed team? I just checked the draw—what a coincidence! Your selected seed team just happened to run into our class's seed team over there, in assessment area eight. Who do you think will win?" Ensure single line.

A female teacher who looked about thirty years old approached Zhou Yi's side and chuckled softly.

Translation: "A female teacher who looked about thirty years old approached Zhou Yi's side and said with a low laugh."

Zhou Yi's gaze instantly sharpened. 'Mujin, do you think your students are guaranteed to win?'

Zhou Yi's eyes narrowed instantly. 'Mujin, do you think your students are guaranteed to win?'

Although Mujin is no longer young, she can absolutely be described as youthful and lovely.

Translation: "Although Mujin is not young, she can absolutely be described as youthful and lovely."

Mujin smiled and shook her head, saying, 'That's not it. Nothing is absolute. However, I haven't heard of any particularly outstanding talent in your class this time—at least none above rank thirty. What a pity.'

Translation: "Mujin smiled and shook her head. 'That's not it. Nothing is absolute. However, I haven't heard of any particularly outstanding talent in your class this time—at least not anyone above rank thirty. What a pity.'"

Zhou Yi's lips twitched slightly. 'Are you here to provoke me?'

Translation: "Zhou Yi's mouth twitched slightly. 'You came here to provoke?'"

Zhou Yi had initially warned the first class's members not to let Chen Qiye's true soul power leak out, leading Mujin to now think Chen Qiye is merely a slightly stronger three-ring Soul Master, but after all, he is only one person.

How could they compare to the seed students in his class? Indeed, Zhou Yi's usual seed students are not Chen Qiye, nor Guyue, but Huo Yuhao's team. Although Chen Qiye said nothing, he sighed, 'Some things you want to escape from are ultimately inescapable...'

All Mujin knew was that Zhou Yi valued Chen Qiye greatly, and she said, 'Although you didn't meet your seed pick this time, it seems you really value this person, don't you?'

Translation: "All Mujin knew was that Zhou Yi valued Chen Qiye greatly as a student, and she said, 'Although you didn't run into your seed pick this time, it seems you really value this person, right?'"

However, his ability is indeed not bad, but when facing our class's seed competitors, he only has a chance to lose.

Translation: "'However, his ability is indeed not bad, but when facing our class's seed contender, he only has a chance to lose.'"

Zhou Yi, however, wasn't looking at Mujin's provocative expression; she turned her gaze to the competition arena below, locking onto area eight where Huo Yuhao and his three teammates were.

Translation: "Zhou Yi, however, wasn't looking at Mujin's provocative expression; her gaze fell onto the competition field below, locking onto the eighth area where Huo Yuhao and his two companions were."

Zhou Yi calmly asked, 'Wanna bet?'

Translation: "Zhou Yi said lightly, 'Wanna bet?'"

Mujin's goal was to anger and humiliate Zhou Yi; hearing this, she immediately replied without hesitation, 'A bet—what are you wagering?'

Translation: "Mujin's goal was to provoke and humiliate Zhou Yi; hearing this, she immediately answered without hesitation, 'Bet, what are you wagering?'"

Zhou Yi finally stopped ignoring her, turned to face her, and said in a low voice, 'A soul bone—do you dare?'

Translation: "Zhou Yi finally stopped ignoring her, turned to face her, and said in a deep voice, 'A soul bone—do you dare?'"

Upon hearing the words 'soul bone,' Mujin's pupils contracted sharply.

Translation: "Upon hearing the words 'soul bone,' Mujin's pupils contracted sharply."

For Soul Masters, soul rings are already extremely precious, because they are what every Soul Master must obtain to break through a bottleneck.

Translation: "For Soul Masters, soul rings are already extremely precious, because they are something every Soul Master must obtain to break through a bottleneck."

At this moment, Zhou Yi's proposal to wager a soul bone showed she was willing to risk everything to go up against Mujin. No wonder Mujin was shocked. Most importantly, she had no idea where Zhou Yi's confidence came from.

Translation: "At this moment, Zhou Yi's proposal to bet with a soul bone suggested she was willing to risk everything to go head-to-head with Mujin. How could Mujin not be shocked? Most importantly, she had no idea where Zhou Yi's confidence came from."

A smirk of disdain played on Zhou Yi's lips. 'If you're scared, stay away from me—don't let me smell that nauseating perfume of yours.'

Translation: "A smirk of disdain played on Zhou Yi's lips: 'If you're scared, stay away from me—don't let me smell that nauseating perfume of yours.'"

A fierce light flashed in Mujin's eyes. 'Fine, I'll bet with you. Empty threats won't scare me off. If I lose, I'll give you a soul bone; if you lose, you'll have Fan Yu craft a close-range soul tool for me.'

Translation: "A fierce light flashed in Mujin's eyes. 'Fine, I'll bet with you. Do you think empty threats will scare me? If I lose, I'll give you a soul bone; if you lose, you'll have Fan Yu craft a close-fitting soul tool for me.'"

Zhou Yi coldly replied, 'The one betting with you is me, not him. If I lose, I'll also give you a soul bone.'

Translation: "Zhou Yi said coldly, 'The one betting with you is me, not him. If I lose, I'll also give you a soul bone.'"

Mujin snorted, 'I don't want your soul bone; I just want Fan Yu to make me a close-range soul tool.'

Translation: "Mujin snorted, 'I don't want your soul bone; I just want Fan Yu to craft a close-fitting soul tool for me.'"

'Fine, I'll answer for her,' a deep voice sounded, and a tall figure had somehow arrived beside Zhou Yi.

Translation: "'Fine, I'll answer for her,' a deep voice sounded, and a tall figure had somehow already arrived beside Zhou Yi."

Isn't this exactly the Soul Tool Department's Fan Yu teacher whom Zhou Yi once brought Huo Yuhao to meet? Seeing Fan Yu appear, Mujin's face instantly changed; her previous arrogant provocative aura vanished completely, her complexion turned somewhat pale, she took a slight step back, her eyes slightly red as she looked at Fan Yu and said, 'You're teaming up with her to bully me.' Fan Yu's expression remained calm, though his brows furrowed slightly: 'You started this unreasonable provocation. If you want to bet, come; if not, don't keep provoking Zhou Yi. As for us and you, we're merely colleagues—nothing more.'

'A bet, why not? Losing to her doesn't mean my students will also lose to her students.'

Translation: "'Bet, why not? Losing to her doesn't mean my students will also lose to her students.'"

Mujin abruptly turned, gripping the high platform's railing with both hands, her already misty eyes also shifting toward the competition field in the evaluation area.

Chen Qiye's gaze withdrew from the spectator platform; he took in the whole scene just now. Although he doesn't have an eye- or spirit-type martial soul, his spiritual power far surpasses that of spirit-type Soul Masters of the same realm.

Is it really a big deal to want to see and hear clearly from a few hundred meters away? Chen Qiye shook his head helplessly. Actually, it's quite absurd—no matter in Douluo One, Two, or Three, there's always a love triangle, and the most outrageous is that in Douluo Two there are not just one but multiple love triangles...

Chen Qiye could only shake his head helplessly, after all their character settings were already written in stone—no matter how he tried to change them, it was simply impossible..........

The proctor said, 'Both sides, enter and announce your names.'

Translation: "The supervising teacher said, 'Both sides, enter and announce your names.'"

The formation of the three girls opposite also changed; the silver-haired girl who had been at the front stepped back, while the other two moved forward simultaneously to shield her.

Translation: "The formation of the three girls opposite also changed; the silver-haired girl who had been standing in front stepped back, while the other two girls moved forward simultaneously to block her."

The short-haired red-haired girl declared proudly, 'Freshman Class Nine, Wu Feng. Rank twenty-five, Strong Attack System Battle Soul Master.'

Translation: "The red-haired short-haired girl declared proudly, 'Freshman Class Nine, Wu Feng. Rank twenty-five, Strength Attack System Battle Soul Master.'"

The light-green long-haired girl gave her an annoyed glance, as if blaming her for being too arrogant, even announcing her own soul power level, yet she didn't change this way of introducing herself.

Translation: "The light-green long-haired girl gave her a somewhat annoyed glance, as if blaming her for being too arrogant, even announcing her own soul power rank, yet she did not change this way of introducing herself."

Her soft voice contrasted sharply with Wu Feng's cold arrogance, just like their appearances: 'Freshman Class Nine, Nan Men Yuner. Rank twenty-four, Agile Attack System Battle Soul Master.'

Translation: "Her soft voice and Wu Feng's cold arrogance formed a stark contrast, just like their appearances: 'Freshman Class Nine, Nan Men Er Er. Rank twenty-four, Agility Attack System Battle Soul Master.'"

A flat voice came from behind the two girls: 'Freshman Class Nine, Ning Tian. Rank thirty-one, Assistance System Instrument Soul Venerable.'

Translation: "From behind the two girls came a plain voice: 'Freshman Class Nine, Ning Tian. Rank thirty-one, Assistance System Tool Soul Elder.'"

Ning Tian, it seemed after the Qiankun Asking Love Valley, she got what she wished for, because Wu Feng and the Nine Treasures Glazed Glass Sect left her bloodline.

It's mainly just a sex change—damn, it's absurd. At the Sea God Fate Assembly, they chose Huo Yuhao, hoping he would marry into the Nine Treasures Glazed Glass Sect, but Huo Gua didn't take her seriously at all (after all, if he really married in, Tang San wouldn't even need to pick up the Asura Sword and Trident to level the Nine Treasures Glazed Glass Sect).

Chen Qiye couldn't figure out whether it was the setting or because of the Nine Treasures Glazed Glass Pagoda—every generation is female-dominated, male-declined; the only one who leaves an impression is Ning Fengzhi, one of the few outstanding males in the Seven Treasures Glazed Glass Sect! 'This basically means assistance roles are all bound by women, right?'

'This basically means assistance roles are all bound by women, right?'

I really don't know how this bizarre situation of the Nine Treasures Glazed Glass Sect could have been passed down, but after thinking about other Douluo One installments, Chen Qiye also felt it wasn't a big deal.

Translation: "The bizarre situation of the Nine Treasures Glazed Glass Sect really leaves one wondering how it's been passed down, but after thinking about other Douluo One matters, Chen Qiye also finds it not that surprising."

After all, in Douluo One those blood-related siblings... In the later period of Douluo Two, Ning Tian and these two people count as half the same...

Chen Qiye couldn't help but shiver—there are just too many absurd things..........

Translation: "Chen Qiye couldn't help but shiver—there are just too many bizarre things........."

Chen Qiye could only say, 'The Douluo World is too absurd.'

Translation: "Chen Qiye could only say, 'The Douluo world is too bizarre.'"

Chen Qiye stepped onto the stage and introduced himself, 'Freshman Class One, Chen Qiye, Strong Attack System Battle Soul Master.'

Translation: "Chen Qiye stepped onto the stage and introduced himself, 'Freshman Class One, Chen Qiye, Strength Attack System Battle Soul Master.'"
