Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting

Chapter 316 - Odd and Fantastic Squadron



316 – Odd and Fantastic Squadron

TL : GoldenLung

Lan Xuanyu noticed that most of these shops were for purchasing soul devices and single-use medicines. Of course, these were only available in Douluo World.

“These stores are set up specifically for the Great Soul Arena. There are many benefits in the Arena. One of its biggest aspects is gambling and many contestants come for this. But there is a rule, to participate. If a player wants to bet, he can only bet on himself in order to prevent cheating. In addition, all opponents in the competition are randomly selected, so it is very fair.”

Lan Mengqin continued Yuanen Huihui’s words: “The rules are very simple : to defeat your opponent. For each victory, you earn a corresponding amount of points, but the opponent in the next match will definitely be stronger. There will be extra points and Douluo coins for being in a win streak as rewards. If we want to earn more Douluo coins in a short period of time, the fastest way is through the Great Soul Arena under the premise that we can win.”

Lan Xuanyu nodded, “Then let’s sign up first.”

Yuanen Huihui smiled and said: “Big Brother Xuanyu, then you can give our team a name first. We will use it when we register later. This will also be our code name in the future. However the name has to be a bit more odd or even fantastic as we don’t know how many teams have registered. Otherwise there will be no way to register if the name is already taken.”

Lan Xuanyu smiled and said, “Then let’s go with Odd and Fantastic Squadron.”

Dong Qianqiu couldn’t help but spit out, “You are too lazy.”

Lan Xuanyu shrugged his shoulders and said: “Why am I lazy? Look, we are Shrek’s students, and doesn’t Shrek only accept monsters? Moreover, in our team, among us five, we have soul masters encompassing the two-rings, three rings, four-rings and five rings cultivation base. It is equivalent to having every type of soul master from Soul Grandmaster to Soul King. If that doesn’t count as odd and fantastic what does ?”

Yuanen Huihui smiled and said, “It makes sense. And it’s not a bad thing to have a two-rings soul master. When you start fighting against random opponents, you will be judged based on your actual strength. I will raise the difficulty, but a two-rings soul master will lower it. Our opponents shouldn’t be too strong under these circumstances.”

Liu Feng said: “Odd and fantastic team, it sounds quite interesting.”

Lan Mengqin said: “I don’t care, as long as I can register. The name is just a code name. Just like the academy’s most famous Shrek Seven Monsters, is it really a good name ? It is only because the Shrek Seven Monsters of the past were incomparably powerful and had won tremendous glory for the academy, only then did their name resonate throughout the continent.”

Lan Xuanyu said: “Then let’s try and register first.”

Unexpectedly, this name was not taken yet. When they registered in the Great Soul Arena, they did it in one go.

After paying a full one hundred Douluo coins, the Odd and Fantastic Squadron was formed.

None of the five people were wealthy, after pooling together everything they had, they had about a thousand Douluo coins. After the registration place indicated that they could line up immediately, they immediately bet the thousand Douluo coins on themselves.

The betting odds of the contestants, regardless of their opponent’s strength, were 1 to 1. If you lose, you lose all of your money. If you win, you can only win the same amount of Douluo coins you bet.

Quite a few people came to the Great Soul Arena to compete. The biggest advantage of being in a virtual world was that no matter how many people there were, as long as the system could bear it, there would be no problems.

“Beside betting, do we have any other income?” Lan Xuanyu asked Yuanen Huihui and Lan Mengqin.

Yuanen Huihui said: “I don’t know, I have never thought too much about this.”

Lan Mengqin nodded, and said, “There are still some. It’s just difficult at the beginning. The Great Fighting Soul Arena would naturally sell tickets. They are all purchased by Douluo World users, but people generally buy those that are interesting. If we win one fight, we will be eligible to give our fight a name and see if we can attract people to watch it. But the most important thing is the winning rate. The higher the winning rate, the better our chances of attracting people. The winning team can get 10% of the tickets as revenue.”

Lan Xuanyu frowned slightly, “Only 10%?”

Lan Mengqin said: “That’s why we say the Douluo World is black! Douluo coins are not so profitable. But if there is a big crowd watching our match, it will still be a lot of money for us.”

Lan Xuanyu narrowed his eyes and said, “Then we’ll have to work harder this week. Please restrict yourselves to the strict minimum for your other trainings and participate as much as possible here to accumulate Douluo coins. This is the only opportunity for us to exchange emblems.”

Yuanen Huihui said: “It’s not the only opportunity. It’s still possible to do it in the future. It’s just that the exchange ratio for the first time is particularly good. In the future, the exchange ratio will be ten times worse. That is, one thousand Douluo coins must be exchanged for a white emblem. Ten thousand and five thousand Douluo coins for a yellow emblem. Our first time exchange ratio is a benefit from the academy.”

Hearing what he said, everyone immediately felt the urgency even more. They couldn’t wait to participate in the competition.

Liu Feng said: “If it can be exchanged all the time, doesn’t that mean that if there is a team that can always win in the Great Soul Arena, won’t the academy go bankrupt?”

Yuanen Huihui said, “What kind of dream are you thinking about? Let’s not talk about how difficult it is to win all the time. Even if we keep winning, when we reach first place in our age group, we can’t continue unless someone challenges us or if we challenge opponents in the senior year group. The academy won’t care about such a small matter. If we can get the championship of an age group, it means that we are the strongest in this age group in the entire Federation. This is a great honor and the academy will only feel happy. But don’t forget how hard a feat this is. In Shrek Academy, all students in the Outer Court are under twenty years old, and we are only first-years. If our winning rate reaches a certain level, we may face our seniors with Battle Armors.”

Lan Xuanyu narrowed his eyes, “I see, no wonder the Academy is so generous. No matter how strong we are, after all, we are only twelve years old. There are still many who are stronger than us in the under twenty-year-old age group. So, even through the Great Soul Arena, it is impossible for us to get a lot of Douluo coins. Therefore, the whole situation is still within the control of the academy. Huihui, have you already participated in the Great Soul Arena, how many consecutive wins did you get ? “

Yuanen Huihui said: “I have participated in the individual competitions. I am rather good at one-vs-one. I won seven games and then lost to a four-rings soul master with a one-word Battle Armor.”

Lan Xuanyu was taken aback, “One the level lower than you? Is a Battle Armor that powerful?”

Yuanen Huihui said in a wronged tone: “Yes ! Battle Armors can greatly enhance defense, and it is an all-round increase for the soul master. It is no different from a mecha. In the Great Soul Arena, there is a dedicated category for matches between mechas. But Battle Armor can be worn in a match between soul masters. We would be in trouble if we were to meet a team full of Battle Armor Masters. Generally speaking, most of the soul masters with a soul power close to mine would already have one. Because of my young age I don’t have one yet. After we learn more about Battle Armors, I want to get mine as soon as possible. If all five of us are one-word Battle Armor masters, or even two-words Battle Armor Masters, we would easily win multiple matches in a row.”

Lan Xuanyu nodded slightly, and after thinking about it for a moment, he said: “Huihui has encountered a Battle Armor Master in his eighth match. Then, in order to maximize the benefits, we must make some calculations. Let’s be conservative and say we will not meet any Battle Armor Master in the first five matches only. Huihui, you have participated in many individual matches. If you participate again, you will definitely meet stronger opponents. Therefore, you should not participate in one-vs-one matches. I have a question. After participating in a one-vs-one match, will your strength be recorded? When you participate in a two-vs-two match, will it affect your opponent’s strength?”
