Chapter 349: Snow Demon Sect Concedes
"Princess, we cannot concede!"
A young man said to Vina solemnly, "We're already in the quarterfinals; if we concede again, we'll truly be eliminated!"
Vina said with a headache, "I know that, but even if we don't concede, what can we do?"
She knew that conceding here would end their tournament journey, but the problem now is that the Main Body Sect has no team members who can counter Tang Wulin.
At present, unless Tang Wulin voluntarily concedes again, they won't even have a chance to enter the team battle.
Although in the previous matches Tang Wulin didn't make it to the end except for the first round, now that it's the quarterfinals, will this guy really still hold back his strength? At that moment, a middle‑aged man hurried to Vina's side and whispered something in her ear.
Vina showed an incredulous, seemingly dissatisfied yet relieved expression and asked:
"Is this really what the sect leader said?"
The middle‑aged man nodded.
"It's true."
After a brief thought, Vina nodded.
"I understand."
She turned to the Main Body Sect's team members, her expression serious, and said, "Everyone, that senior just delivered the Main Body Sect's order: we concede this match."
"What?!"
The Snow Demon Sect members were instantly thrown into an uproar.
They couldn't understand why Du Busi would do this.
Vina frowned and shouted, "Quiet!"
Under the influence of soul power, her command instantly stunned the team members.
She said coldly:
"I'll explain the reason for conceding without a match when we return; for now, be quiet and don't let other teams mock us."
The others fell silent immediately.
They all recognized Vina's talent and strength, and with Long Aotian unconscious, she was the rightful leader.
Vina shouted to Zheng Zhan, "Referee, we concede."
Zheng Zhan was momentarily stunned.
Although he also thought the match no longer needed to continue, this is the quarterfinals; regardless of necessity, shouldn't they at least struggle desperately?
Conceding like this would make the scene too unsightly, right? Tang Wulin and the others naturally heard Vina's voice, exchanged glances, and their expressions turned strange.
Xu San Shi murmured:
"Are they scared of us?"
Bei Bei said irritably:
"If you drop the 'men', even if they are truly scared, it's only the junior brother they're afraid of, which has nothing to do with us."
Although they didn't know why the Main Body Sect conceded, regardless, they managed to pass this round smoothly.
The next stage will be the semifinals, a battle against the Holy Spirit Sect.
The team representing the Holy Spirit Sect must not be underestimated; they must be careful, careful, and careful.
Outside the arena, two elders walked along the street.
One chuckled at the other, "Xuanzi, does this count as you owing me a favor now?" Xuanzi snorted disdainfully.
"Stop spouting nonsense, Du Lao Guai, even if you don't let your little brats concede, could they possibly beat Tang Wulin? You speak lies without drafting."
Du Busi clicked his tongue; this time Xuanzi's words he truly couldn't refute.
He changed the subject, saying:
"How's the intelligence gathering on the Holy Spirit Sect? Is Long Huang Douluo really also in the Holy Spirit Sect?"
Upon hearing Du Busi mention the Holy Spirit Sect, Xuanzi's expression grew serious.
"We have no clues yet; these scoundrels hide deeply, and our agents can't uncover any high‑level information."
"Sigh." Du Busi sighed helplessly, "It's the same on my side; I hope our previous speculation was wrong, and Long Huang Douluo has no connection to the Holy Spirit Sect."
When Xuanzi heard Ye Xi Shui's name from Tang Wulin and the others, his shock was actually the strongest in the room.
Unlike the others, he had heard the story of Ye Xi Shui, Mu En, and Long Xiaoyao, and although its authenticity is debatable, there's no doubt those three senior elders share a close bond.
Upon learning of Ye Xi Shui's existence, the first person he thought of was the long‑missing Long Xiaoyao.
If that prodigy who once stood alongside Mu En as the dual black‑white saint dragons is still alive, he has probably reached Extreme Douluo level.
If he joined the Holy Spirit Sect because of Ye Xi Shui, the Douluo situation originally belonging to the Three Kingdoms would fall into an unprecedented disadvantage.
When he considered this speculation, Xuanzi broke out in cold sweat and hurriedly told Du Busi, which also startled him.
Thus the two usually uncooperative Level‑98 Super Douluos were forced to unite.
There's no choice; even if the opponent has two Extreme Douluos, or even just Ye Xi Shui as a sole Extreme Douluo, their odds remain low without cooperation.
In fact, even if they team up, their chance against Ye Xi Shui is less than half.
When soul power reaches level 90 and above, the gap widens with each level; the difference between level 98 and level 99 is already describable as night and day.
Not to mention that surpassing level 99 requires condensing a second soul core, and both can hardly imagine how much a second soul core aids a soul master.
At least in Xuanzi's view, peak Mu En could probably defeat five of him.
Although Du Busi hasn't witnessed Mu En at his peak, his brother's cultivation isn't far behind, and he has a decent grasp of Extreme Douluo strength.
Facing the overwhelming pressure of Extreme Douluos, Xuanzi and Du Busi no longer dare to be reckless; they've now made the primary goal of this trip to bring their own children back safely.
This is also why Du Busi had Vina concede outright; the match's outcome is already clear, and continuing would only cause more casualties, and in this dire situation any injury could increase the difficulty of escape.
At that moment, Du Busi seemed to recall something and asked:
"By the way, you said those two kids still want to join the Holy Spirit Sect's underground tournament, right? When are they going?"
Xuanzi stroked his beard.
Three days later.
"Three days..." Du Bu Si repeated in a low voice, tone very surprised, "It's actually after the semifinals?"
"En, it's also the day before the underground tournament finals start."
Understood.
Du Bu Si said in a deep voice: "Remember to remind those two little guys not to waste too much time, don't forget the intelligence we gathered; when the time comes, our escape operation will begin."
"En, I understand."
