Douluo: Starting with a self-created soul ring

**Chapter 101: The Punishment of Douluo Lingyuan**

"Gu Ziyi, it seems like you've accumulated too much extreme Yang energy recently, and it has all gone to your head!"

"You actually dared to intimidate another girl during today's match in the competition!"

"Tonight, I'll drain you dry to see if you dare to intimidate other girls again in the future!" (E/N: The only reason I didn't redo the last chapter, otherwise I would follow your advice, my dear readers.)

"…"

That night, after hearing about the vile act he committed during the match, Li Chanfei sought out Gu Ziyi alone and gave him a severe lesson on behalf of the other women outraged by his behavior.

Although she never intended to have a serious relationship with him or be the only woman in his life, that didn't mean she wouldn't get jealous of his wicked actions.

Thus, Gu Ziyi faced unexpected consequences that night.

Li Chanfei used her full strength to completely drain him, leaving him utterly powerless to fight back.

The next morning, Bibi Dong ignored him completely before the start of the next round. She gave no explanation for her behavior, simply stating that she was angry at Gu Ziyi for humiliating a girl in public and wanted nothing to do with him for now.

"Your Highness truly is something else to come up with such a method!"

"I'm impressed!"

The male members of the team, on the other hand, expressed their utmost admiration for his move during the previous match, their envy evident on their faces.

Of course, all their praise for Gu Ziyi was spoken behind Bibi Dong's and the other women's backs.

After a day of rest, it was time for the fourth round of the finals.

In this round, the remaining four victorious teams from the previous matches, along with the two teams who had byes, would compete. A total of six teams would participate, with no more byes granted.

These six teams would determine the three finalists by the end of the day!

This time, neither the Martial Soul Hall Team nor the Star Luo Empire Team faced each other or the Haotian Team.

The results were predictable. After swift and decisive battles, the top three teams emerged: the Haotian Team, the Star Luo Empire Team, and the Martial Soul Hall Team!

The final three teams would no longer compete in regular team matches.

Instead, they would send individual members to engage in one-on-one battles in a ring defense format. The last team standing in the ring would advance directly to the final.

The remaining two teams would then face off in another team match. The winner of this match would proceed to the final, while the loser would settle for third place in the Soul Master Competition.

This round of individual ring defense battles also used a draw to determine the order of play.

The result? The Haotian Team would be the first to send a participant, followed by the Martial Soul Hall Team, and finally, the Star Luo Empire Team.

"The Haotian Team is now invited to send a member to the ring."

With the host's announcement, the individual defense battle began.

"Do we even need to watch this match?"

"The result is obviously going to be a win for the Haotian Team!"

"Yeah, the Haotian Team, except for Tang Yuehua, is entirely composed of offensive Soul Masters. They have a huge advantage in this kind of one-on-one battle format where the goal is to defend the ring!"

"…"

Even before the match began, the audience expressed their opinions.

Most felt that the Haotian Team would ultimately triumph in this round.

As the match progressed, their prediction seemed accurate. By the time more than half the battles were over, only two members remained from both the Martial Soul Hall Team and the Star Luo Empire Team.

Meanwhile, the Haotian Team still had three participants who had not yet entered the fray.

However, one of those three was Tang Yuehua, an auxiliary Soul Master with limited combat ability, effectively leaving them with just two strong contenders.

On the other hand, both the Martial Soul Hall Team and the Star Luo Empire Team also had auxiliary Soul Masters among their remaining members.

Thus, the Haotian Team had a significant advantage, with Tang Hao—still fresh and waiting in reserve—being the most formidable threat.

"The next team to send a challenger is the Golden Generation Team from the Martial Soul Hall!"

Under the host's arrangement, the Martial Soul Hall Team was called to the ring.

"Sister, let me handle this round. The opponent's soul power is nearly depleted; I should be able to deal with them! You shouldn't waste your energy on this."

Bibi Dong was about to step forward when Gu Ziyi stopped her.

"Are you sure, younger brother?"

Bibi Dong frowned, looking at her younger brother. She knew that Gu Ziyi had some offensive capabilities. At this point, the Haotian Team member on the ring had indeed consumed a lot of soul power after eliminating one of the last members of the Star Luo Empire Team.

However, she felt it was wiser to keep Gu Ziyi's offensive abilities hidden for now, reserving them as a trump card for the finals.

"It's fine. It doesn't matter if the opponents know about my offensive capabilities!"

Gu Ziyi smiled confidently and replied casually.

"Alright, younger brother, just be careful!"

Seeing Gu Ziyi's smile, Bibi Dong relented. She knew he was far more intelligent than her, so there must be a reason behind his decision.

"The Golden Generation Team has sent Gu Ziyi!"

"It seems the Martial Soul Hall Team wants to use Gu Ziyi to further exhaust the Haotian Team's remaining participant's soul power, leaving them unable to fight!"

"But even if Tang Lao has consumed a lot of soul power, it won't be easy for an auxiliary Soul Master to take him down. What does Gu Ziyi plan to do?"

The host expressed his surprise, and the audience was equally puzzled to see Gu Ziyi step into the ring.

"I can't believe you're actually stepping up to face an offensive Soul Master. Let's see how you handle getting beaten up…"

Ning Shuangjiang, from the defeated Tiandou Royal Team, immediately booed from the sidelines after seeing Gu Ziyi step forward.

She couldn't wait to see him humiliated.

"There's no point in sending him unless Bibi Dong can defeat Tang Hao herself."

"He's wasting energy better saved for the team battle later!"

Yu Xiaogang sneered, criticizing Gu Ziyi's choice to participate.

Under everyone's curious gaze, Gu Ziyi slowly stepped into the ring.

"Third Soul Skill – Golden Light Talisman!"

As soon as Gu Ziyi entered, he summoned his Golden Light Talisman and threw it directly at his opponent.

"What?!"

Tang Lao was caught off guard by this move but managed to dodge the talisman.

Swish~

The Golden Light Talisman passed by where he originally was.

"Be careful behind you!"

Tang Lao sighed in relief, but Tang Hao's warning brought his attention back to the ring…
