The Dark Night Duel Arena.
The atmosphere, which had been frozen by Xue Linglong's terrifying aura, began to loosen.
As the new game's drums sounded, cheers erupted once more.
On the arena, the two Soul Saints have begun their battle.
The audience was once again swept up in the raw fervor, cheering on their chosen side.
As for why we no longer pay attention to the sky, it's simply because we're willing but unable to do so!
Just then, the sky above shook again, displaying new names and information.
Both sides in the fierce battle stopped their actions simultaneously.
The entire audience looked up in unison.
After the news about "DouDou, ranked 24th on the list of beauties" appeared.
The entire dueling arena fell silent for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, everyone's eyes turned to one side of the arena.
There, a sweet girl wearing a white skirt and with pure white wings flapping behind her was hovering.
It was none other than DouDou, the top-rated commentator for this match!
She looks only eighteen years old.
She wore a pristine white short dress and had long, wavy brown hair.
Her eyes were smiling, she had shallow dimples at the corners of her mouth, and her long, slender legs were particularly eye-catching.
"Why?!!!"
DouDou herself was stunned, and then a huge surge of joy welled up in her heart.
She covered her mouth, her eyes crinkling into two crescent moons with laughter.
She cupped her burning face in her hands, somewhat at a loss.
"I...I'm on the list?!"
"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, why did you put me on the list?"
"Actually, she's not that pretty!"
DouDou wiggled her body and playfully twirled in mid-air.
Her skirt fluttered slightly, revealing glimpses of the scenery.
"Don't like me too much, everyone, hehehe..."
She was secretly delighted and was already prepared to be greeted by cheers and whistles from the entire audience.
However...
The anticipated frenzy did not materialize.
The audience just stared at her silently for three seconds.
Then, everyone turned their attention back to the arena with perfect understanding.
He continued shouting at the two burly men on the stage.
"Kill them! Monka! Kill that coward!"
"You bastard! Where's your sixth soul skill?! Use it!"
The deafening shouts rang out again, even more enthusiastic than before.
They completely ignored this newly listed person.
"Why...?"
DouDou's shy expression froze on her face, and she stopped flapping her wings.
I was suspended in mid-air, feeling somewhat lost.
She blinked her big eyes twice, looking down at the audience below who wouldn't even give her a second glance.
Why is this happening?
That's incredibly disrespectful!
I made the list!
Shouldn't this cause an even bigger sensation than before?
Why aren't you guys reacting at all?!
DouDou was both embarrassed and angry, and her face turned completely red.
He stomped his foot angrily in mid-air and shouted down:
"Hey, what do you mean?!"
"Why isn't there any response? I'm the one on the list! Me!"
"Shouldn't people be amazed by me? Shouldn't they be crazy about me?"
Her angry voice echoed in the dueling arena, and everyone rolled their eyes in response.
An elderly audience member sitting in the front row silently picked up his glass and took a sip.
His eyes glanced at the several dark red bloodstains on the ground not far away.
The last person who was interested in the beauties on the list is probably still alive.
How can you expect us to be interested?
We're here to watch the game and make some money, not to die.
At this moment, the Heavenly Ranking was shaken once again.
The once noisy dueling arena fell silent once more.
Those outside were also watching intently as the new scene slowly unfolded.
[Real-life Retrospection: Unveiling the Journey]
The scene depicts an ordinary little village.
Two dilapidated thatched huts.
A farming couple and four children—this is DouDou's home.
The family was dirt poor.
DouDou is the eldest sister in the family and has been much more sensible since she was little.
After awakening the White Dove Martial Soul.
While attending the junior soul master academy, she also worked part-time at a flower shop in the city.
Every day after school, she carries a flower basket and sells flowers on the street.
Just to earn a few more copper soul coins to supplement the family's income.
The images flow.
DouDou is gradually growing up.
While selling flowers, a torrential downpour suddenly began.
She ran into a teahouse with her flower basket to take shelter from the rain, patted the water droplets off her clothes, and found a figure sitting in the corner.
The person was drinking tea alone, although the image was still blurry and the face was not clear.
But that sense of loneliness, so out of place with the surroundings.
Yet everyone watching the scene could feel it.
"That figure..."
"Is it the owner of the Dark Night Duel Arena again?"
Many people were taken aback; what a coincidence!
In the video, DouDou hesitated for a moment, then flashed a bright smile.
I picked out a rhododendron from the basket and bravely walked over.
"Sir, you seem to have something on your mind."
Here's a flower for you.
"The shop owner said that looking at beautiful flowers will make all your worries disappear!"
The blurry figure seemed to pause for a moment, then took the flowers and said in a calm but polite voice.
"Thanks."
In the next scene, DouDou often encounters this man here.
Each time, the man would proactively buy a rhododendron.
The two gradually became acquainted and became friends.
Upon seeing these images, many people began to complain.
"He seems to have a lot of free time. Doesn't he practice spiritual cultivation?"
"You spend all day in this teahouse waiting for this young lady?"
"I think this girl is quite pretty, but not exceptionally beautiful."
Why were you on the list?
"Now I know why he's surrounded by so many beautiful women."
"The most important thing when it comes to picking up girls is patience!"
"Get lost! She's not interested in you. You're just a simp!"
The images in the sky continued to flow, showing that a year had passed.
DouDou stood in front of the man, a hint of trepidation on her face.
"I'm going to the Soul Beast Forest with a mercenary team in a few days."
"There's a huge commission, enough to last the family for a long time!"
The blurry figure of the man remained calm as he said, "That's dangerous, not suitable for you."
DouDou nervously clutched the faded hem of her clothes with both hands, pretending nothing was wrong.
"I know it's dangerous."
"But... I have three younger brothers at home, and they are all growing."
"Don't worry, I'm just a support Soul Master."
"As long as we stay behind the team, we shouldn't encounter too much danger."
The screen gradually darkened.
Then, the new footage made many people with weak mental fortitude gasp in shock.
Shrek Academy.
Oscar felt a chill run down his spine.
"Hiss... This is too tragic!"
"It looks like we've encountered an extremely ferocious soul beast."
Dai Mubai shook his head, showing a hint of sympathy.
Yu Xiaogang looked at this scene with a solemn tone.
"There are no useless martial spirits, only useless soul masters!"
"This is the consequence of not cultivating properly. Remember this!"
The scene depicts a devastated forest.
At this moment, DouDou was lying in the mud, covered in blood.
One of her eyes was blind, and the eye socket was full of blood.
The right hand and right foot were twisted at an odd angle, clearly indicating they were broken.
The white bone fragments were exposed.
Those pure white wings are now tattered and broken.
"it hurts..."
A faint cry for help escaped her lips; it was a yearning for life.
"My eyes...I can't see..."
"Help me...help me..."
Just then, that familiar, blurry figure appeared out of thin air.
He did not find the girl's blood and mud disgusting.
He bent down, gently picked her up, and turned to leave.
The screen darkened again.
But this scene caused an uproar.
"Did the arena owner deliberately wait until someone was injured before showing up?"
"Looks like he's not that great after all. He couldn't even protect a young girl. I overestimated him."
"Besides, doesn't he run a dueling arena?"
"They're all rich, so why did they agree to let her participate in such a dangerous mission?"
But many people have also started to discuss it.
"She's already like this, and she can still be on the list of most beautiful women? That's way too exaggerated!"
"Could this ranking list also be rigged?"
Qin Chen never dreamed of this.
Decades after arriving in Douluo Continent, I was actually cyberbullied...
