UNRIVALED TANG SECT : Sharing Life With Firefly (Doulou 2)-Chapter 117: Too late to see meele
Chapter 117 - Too late to see meele
"The draw is over. Please prepare yourselves. The first match today is Shrek Academy versus Di'ao Academy, and the second match is Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy versus Star Luo Royal Academy."
Xu Jiawei smiled.
The battle between Di'ao Academy and Shrek Academy began quickly.
Di'ao Academy's lineup consisted of one Soul Emperor and six Soul Kings, while Shrek Academy had two Soul Emperors, one Soul King, two Soul Ancestors, one Soul Grandmaster, and one Great Soul Master.
On paper, Shrek Academy was clearly at a disadvantage.
However, Di'ao Academy was a pure soul master academy that looked down on soul tools. Their all-out aggressive style was brutally suppressed by Shrek Academy.
The Di'ao captain was beaten up by Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng fought one against two and still held the upper hand, Bei Bei and Wang Dong also joined the attack, Xu Sanshi defended, Ling Luochen controlled, and Huo Yuhao provided support.
Shrek Academy stabilized the situation. After the first Di'ao member was controlled by Ling Luochen and then eliminated, Di'ao Academy began to collapse.
The Di'ao captain, who fought until the end, was severely injured by Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng working together, and the battle was declared over.
Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng had gone all out, clearly preparing for the upcoming individual elimination matches.
After the battle between Shrek Academy and Di'ao Academy ended, the afternoon quickly arrived, bringing the match between Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy and Star Luo Royal Academy.
Liuxing still brought Liuying, Gu Yuena, Xue Nu, Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, and Ye Guyi onto the field.
On the Star Luo Royal Academy side, Xu Jiujiu led the way, bringing her team onto the stage.
Liuxing looked across and was surprised to see a hint of provocation in the eyes of the elegant princess.
Liuxing was momentarily stunned but returned the provocation with a challenging look of his own.
Liuying pouted, tugging at Liuxing's sleeve, and said with a teasing smile, "Is she pretty?"
Liuxing was taken aback but quickly shook his head. "Not as pretty as you."
Liuying's smile widened, but her gaze toward Xu Jiujiu was filled with hostility, and she subtly clenched her small fist.
Xu Jiujiu glanced at Liuying in surprise, not understanding why the girl suddenly harbored such animosity toward her.
But then she remembered that the match was about to begin, and it made sense.
"Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, Star Luo Royal Academy, prepare for the team battle."
Heavenly Fiend Douluo Huang Jinxu stood on the stage with his hands behind his back, his voice deep and commanding.
The two teams stood opposite each other on the stage, and even before the battle began, a palpable tension filled the air.
Heavenly Fiend Douluo's gaze swept over Liuxing and Xu Jiujiu, his expression cold and stern. "Both sides, step back. No one is to release their martial souls until I announce the start of the match."
Both teams stepped back, quickly creating distance between them.
Unlike Xu Jiujiu, who stood at the back of her team, Liuxing stood at the very front of his team, like an unstoppable spear.
At this moment, he exuded a sharp, piercing aura.
Heavenly Fiend Douluo gave Liuxing a deep look, his spirit and soul power highly concentrated. This kid was not simple!
"Begin the match."
Shifting his gaze away from Liuxing, Heavenly Fiend Douluo shouted, and a flash of golden light appeared at the center of the stage. The powerful Titled Douluo then vanished.
Both teams reacted swiftly, releasing their martial souls in an instant.
As usual, after Liuxing and Liuying released their martial souls, the temperature on the battlefield began to rise.
But at the same time, a chilling cold spread, neutralizing the rising heat and preventing the temperature from skyrocketing.
It was the semifinals, and Xue Nu and Gu Yuena no longer held back.
The beautiful, tall Ice Snow Maiden martial soul with her snow-white hair and the dazzling, ethereal Silver Dragon martial soul appeared on the stage.
"How is this possible? That's the Ice Snow Maiden martial soul and the Silver Dragon martial soul?"
In the Shrek Academy camp, Wang Yan was shocked.
In previous matches, Xue Nu and Gu Yuena had held back and not released their martial souls. This was the first time he had seen their martial souls.
The Ice Snow Maiden was one thing, but the Silver Dragon? Did such a martial soul even exist in this world?
Even Bei Bei's Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul's evolution, the Holy Light Dragon, was merely a lower branch of the Silver Dragon.
If the Holy Light Dragon was already so powerful, what about the Silver Dragon?
Was it even stronger than an ultimate martial soul? Wang Yan couldn't even imagine.
"The Ice Snow Maiden? Could it really be...?"
In Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, the Ice Empress was startled, her expression complex as she looked at Xue Nu on the stage.
The girl's appearance, resembling a smaller version of the Snow Empress, combined with the Ice Snow Maiden martial soul and that faintly familiar feeling, made the Ice Empress certain of her identity.
"Bing Bing, what is it?"
The Heavenly Dream Iceworm shamelessly approached the Ice Empress.
"Get lost."
The Ice Empress's face turned cold, and she swatted the Heavenly Dream Iceworm away with her tail.
Although she had her suspicions, she wouldn't tell anyone about this. If her guess was correct, then Xue Nu's identity couldn't be revealed to anyone.
She didn't know how the Snow Empress, a beast of calamity, had managed to take human form, but when a soul beast transformed, it lost all its power. If discovered by humans, it would be like a lamb to the slaughter.
Although the Snow Empress had hidden herself well, and even the Titled Douluo present couldn't see through her, the Ice Empress hadn't recognized her at first either. But she wouldn't tell anyone about this, not even Huo Yuhao.
She knew that the Snow Empress's current faction was opposed to Shrek Academy, where Huo Yuhao was.
If Huo Yuhao found out about the Snow Empress's identity, he might tell Shrek Academy, and that would put the Snow Empress in danger.
The soul ring and soul bone of a beast of calamity, especially the Snow Empress, ranked third among the Ten Great Beasts of Calamity, were far more tempting than those of an ordinary hundred-thousand-year soul beast.
If the Snow Empress's identity was exposed, she would face the pursuit of all the human powerhouses on the continent.
It wasn't that she didn't trust Huo Yuhao, after all, she had become his second martial soul, but clearly, the Snow Empress's safety was more important to her.
Feeling the cold emanating from behind him, Liuxing sighed. Xue Nu's compatibility with him was really poor. When they fought together, the power of their soul skills was significantly reduced.
However, his soul skills were mostly supportive, so the impact wasn't too great.
At the same time, Xu Jiujiu on the opposite side also released her martial soul.
A golden light lit up on her forehead, revealing a diamond-shaped golden gem.
The gem emitted a dazzling golden light and then detached from her forehead, slowly floating upward, surrounded by golden light.
A magnificent crown appeared above her head and then gently descended, settling on her.
The crown seemed to be made of countless stars, all of a faint golden color. Starting from the diamond-shaped gem, the stars quickly gathered toward the back, forming a circle of eighteen larger stars that protruded upward, creating a beautiful, pointed design.
The Star Crown martial soul, this was Xu Jiujiu's martial soul, the inherited martial soul of the Star Luo royal family.
It was an incredibly powerful support-type martial soul, in some ways even surpassing the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda.
This content is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.
In this generation of the Star Luo royal family, including the Star Luo Emperor Xu Jiawei, only three people possessed the Star Crown martial soul, highlighting its strength and rarity.
Apart from Xu Jiawei and Xu Jiujiu, only Xu Jiawei's youngest daughter, Princess Xu Yun, had awakened the Star Crown martial soul.
Two yellow, two purple, and one black soul ring appeared around Xu Jiujiu, showing that she was also a Soul King.
The other members of Star Luo Royal Academy also released their martial souls.
Jin Ming, the vice-captain of the Star Luo Royal Academy team, had led the team as captain before Xu Jiujiu's appearance.
His martial soul was the Golden Winged Eagle, a level 58 Agility Attack System Soul King.
Huang Heyun, with the Dark Demon Tiger martial soul, a level 57 Power Attack System Soul King.
Du Gushangshan, with the Netherworld Lion martial soul, a level 57 Power Attack System Soul King.
Tang Yuanling, with the Fierce Thunder Leopard martial soul, a level 56 Agility Attack System Soul King.
Wang Yichen, with the Fire Element martial soul, a level 52 Control System Soul King.
Wang Shiyin, with the Wind Element martial soul, a level 53 Control System Soul King.
The entire team consisted of Soul Kings, most of them high-level Soul Kings, with Xu Jiujiu even reaching level 59, just one step away from becoming a Soul Emperor.
If it weren't for the fact that support-type martial souls naturally had slower cultivation speeds, she might already be a Soul Emperor by now.
Looking at this luxurious lineup, the major forces from the other continent fell silent.
Could their own younger generation, under the age of twenty, really produce such a lineup?
And this Star Luo Royal Academy, with such a lineup, was still the weakest among the semifinalists.
"Heh."
Liuxing chuckled, deciding to strike first. Crimson flames gathered in his hand, gradually forming a fiery spear. This time, he didn't use the Flame Light Spear, as that method was too wasteful.
Liuxing's arm muscles tensed as he assumed a throwing stance. In the next moment, the fiery spear in his hand shot through the air like a meteor.
Having already witnessed the power of Liuxing's fiery spear, Xu Jiujiu's expression changed. The crown on her head glowed brightly, and her third soul ring lit up.
Third Soul Skill, Star Radiance.
As the soul skill was activated, a strong golden pillar of light shot into the sky. Inside the pillar, golden mist swirled, with specks of starlight spiraling and rising, creating a strange and beautiful sight.
The golden mist quickly spread, covering the entire Star Luo Royal Academy team.
Wang Shiyin, empowered by Star Radiance, stepped forward. Wind elements gathered in her hands, forming a long spear. Her second soul ring lit up, and the spear transformed into a violent wind column, shooting out to meet the incoming fiery spear.
"Boom—!"
The wind column and the fiery spear collided mid-air, creating a massive explosion that scattered into a huge fireball.
Liuxing's expression changed. If he remembered correctly, Wang Shiyin was a control-type soul master.
Although her second soul skill was an attack-type skill, the fact that it could block his fiery spear, even though it was just a casual throw, showed just how powerful Xu Jiujiu's Star Radiance was.
After all, Liuxing's attack power was incredibly high.
Seeing Liuxing's probing attack blocked, Liuying turned into a streak of fire, charging straight at Xu Jiujiu.
But in the next moment, two figures blocked her path. Huang Heyun, surrounded by black energy and golden mist, grew in size, his muscles bulging. A black "king" character appeared on his forehead, and black fur sprouted on his body.
Du Gushangshan, also surrounded by dark green energy and golden mist, transformed into a half-beast form, joining Huang Heyun in blocking Liuying.
Liuying's small face turned serious as flames gathered on her fists. She punched both Huang Heyun and Du Gushangshan with one fist each.
"Boom!"
A loud explosion of air resounded throughout the arena.
Huang Heyun and Du Gushangshan were sent flying back, their feet digging deep into the ground, leaving four deep trenches.
Their expressions were grim. Two high-level Soul Kings against a Soul Ancestor girl, and they were still at a disadvantage even with Xu Jiujiu's Star Radiance support. Without it, they would have been knocked out with a single punch.
The two exchanged a glance, determination in their eyes. They had to stop her.
"Third Soul Skill, Dark Power."
"Second Soul Skill, Netherworld Frenzy."
The two activated their enhancement soul skills and charged at Liuying again.
On the other side, Xiao Hongchen deployed his soul tool artillery and began bombarding the Star Luo team.
From the Star Luo side, Jin Ming spread his golden wings and shot through the air like a golden streak, heading straight for Xiao Hongchen. Letting Xiao Hongchen bombard them freely would put them at a severe disadvantage.
Ye Guyi spread her pure white wings and flew into the air to intercept Jin Ming. Although Ye Guyi could match Jin Ming's speed, she was only a Soul Grandmaster and no match for him, especially with Xu Jiujiu's Star Radiance enhancing him.
Fortunately, Gu Yuena was also there. She spread her silver dragon wings and, wielding her Silver Dragon Spear, charged at Jin Ming.
A streak of lightning darted across the battlefield, bypassing the fight between Liuying, Huang Heyun, and Du Gushangshan, heading straight for Xiao Hongchen.
Tang Yuanling crouched low, like a hunting leopard, and quickly approached Xiao Hongchen, his body surrounded by lightning and golden mist.
"Clang!"
Two ice-blue swords blocked Tang Yuanling's claws as Meng Hongchen appeared in front of him.
Tang Yuanling's expression changed. Failing to land a hit, he quickly retreated, avoiding the faint white light emanating from Meng Hongchen's body. He knew Meng Hongchen was poisonous.
The battlefield was now filled with the sounds of explosions. In the air, Jin Ming, Gu Yuena, and Ye Guyi engaged in a fierce aerial battle.
On the ground, Liuying was pummeling Huang Heyun and Du Gushangshan at the front, while Meng Hongchen kept the fast-moving Tang Yuanling at bay. Xiao Hongchen continued to rain down soul tool artillery shells toward Xu Jiujiu's position.
In front of Xu Jiujiu, Wang Shiyin gathered wind in her hands, sending out wind blades to intercept the golden artillery shells in the air.
Wang Yichen manipulated fire elements, shooting a line of fire toward Xue Nu from a distance. But before the fire could reach Xue Nu, it was frozen by the cold air, turning into ice crystals mid-air.
Wang Yichen's expression turned ugly. She was completely countered by Liuxing and Xue Nu. Apart from staying by Xu Jiujiu's side to intercept the artillery shells, she couldn't do much.
The battle had reached a point where neither side was going all out, both waiting for the right moment.
Liuxing took out the Flame Light Spear, locking onto Xu Jiujiu as his target.
