Zhou Huan's Kindness
The destructive power of the entire Soul Tool Cannon Platform's self-destruction was absolutely no less than the power of two level-six Soul Tool Shell exploding simultaneously.
It should be noted that Zhou Xinghao himself is only a Soul King and Level Five Soul Engineer, and the attack he launched earlier was only at the level of a Level 5 Soul Cannon.
And now, this guy actually self-destructed the Soul Tool Cannon Platform at close range. Isn't he afraid of blowing himself up too?
At this moment, Zhou Huan had a question in his mind that he didn't know whether he should say or not.
It wasn't that Zhou Huan couldn't avoid an explosion of this magnitude, nor was it that Zhou Huan was afraid of a self-destruction of this magnitude; the main reason was that he was taken aback by Zhou Xinghao's sudden and outrageous move.
What the hell is going on? Why the hell did they have to start by self-destructing their turret?
If he were truly an ordinary Soul King, then this explosion would have crippled him, if not killed him.
Besides, your act of self-destructing a turret isn't exactly benevolent, is it?
In fact, after the self-destructing turret, Zhou Xinghao's situation was extremely dangerous, because both of them were actually at the center of the explosion.
But Zhou Xinghao had no choice but to do so, because Xiao Hongchen had given him a death order: to deplete Zhou Huan's Soul Power at all costs, even to seriously injure Zhou Huan, even if it meant mutual destruction.
However, Zhou Xinghao did not intend to die, so he only self-destructed the Soul Tool Cannon Platform, rather than destroying himself.
Furthermore, the instant the self-destructing turret was launched, Zhou Xinghao immediately activated his Invincible Shield.
However, the Invincible Shield was not truly invincible. Even with the Invincible Shield activated by him Level Five Soul Engineer, it only lasted for a very short time when faced with the self-destruction of the turret, which had an explosive power comparable to two level 6 Soul Tool Shell.
Then, Zhou Xinghao was injured in the explosion, and seriously so, but he thought it was worth it because he had completed his mission. He refused to believe that Zhou Huan could survive such a close-range explosion unscathed.
When the explosion stopped and the smoke dissipated, Zhou Xinghao saw that there was no one in front of him. His face, which was already covered in soot from the explosion, showed an even more unpleasant expression.
Although he didn't believe Zhou Huan was unharmed, he wouldn't be foolish enough to believe that Zhou Huan could be blown to pieces.
Just as Zhou Xinghao was trying to find the other person, a Gui Mei voice suddenly appeared behind him. "Kid, I think your behavior is a bit extreme. You like to play with self-destruction, huh? Then you can try this."
There was no need for Zhou Xinghao to wonder what Zhou Huan was going to let him try.
The next second, a Snow Palm landed on Zhou Xinghao's back.
This time, no ice sculptures appeared. To outsiders, it looked like a snow-white hand gently pressed against Zhou Xinghao's body, without any special effects.
However, in the next instant, Zhou Xinghao let out a bloodcurdling scream that echoed throughout the entire arena.
Apart from Zhou Huan and Zhou Xinghao, no one knew what had happened to Zhou Xinghao at that moment.
Because Zhou Huan used the Snow Palm to directly inject a wisp of icy energy into Zhou Xinghao's body, which then detonated directly in the meridians of his limbs.
Of course, Zhou Huan controlled the explosion of that wisp of cold energy very well, so it didn't destroy Zhou Xinghao's limbs, but he wouldn't be able to get out of bed for at least three to five years.
Even after recovering from his injuries, Zhou Xinghao's career as Soul Master and even Soul Engineer is basically over.
As for why Zhou Huan dealt such a heavy blow, it was naturally because at the moment the cannon self-destructed, he saw the madness and killing intent in Zhou Xinghao's eyes, and after Xiao Hongchen at Xiao Hongchen below the stage, Zhou Huan already knew what was going on.
This is to get rid of him.
However, after a brief moment of thought, Zhou Huan still did not intend to kill Zhou Xinghao on the competition stage.
Killing Zhou Xinghao at this point wouldn't make much sense; crippling him would be better.
Yes, Zhou Huan is still a kind person.
Just as Zhou Huan was feeling grateful for his kindness, Zhou Xinghao collapsed to the ground unconscious like a lump of mud, and it was impossible to tell what harm Zhou Huan had done to him.
In a flash, Zheng Zhan, the Unbreakable Douluo, arrived beside Zhou Xinghao. After a brief sensing, he realized Zhou Xinghao was still alive. But when he reached out to check him, his expression changed drastically. He stared intently at Zhou Huan, his face extremely grim, and demanded, "Why did you use such a cruel method?"
However, Zhou Huan looked at Zheng Zhan as if he were an idiot. "Is he dead? Besides, even if he is dead, it's your responsibility as the referee. Given that he self-destructed his turret, trying to kill me, the fact that I spared his life is already very merciful. You should be grateful."
After being rebuked by Zhou Huan, Zheng Zhan found himself unable to refute her. He had never seen a self-destructing turret before in a major competition, but he couldn't intervene in that situation because once he did, the outcome would be uncertain.
Therefore, in the end, even the Unbreakable Douluo could only announce, " In the Individual Elimination Tournament, the fourth match, Shrek wins!"
When the defensive light barrier around the arena dissipated, two members of the Sun Moon Team immediately came up, both staring angrily at Zhou Huan, but Xiao Hongchen still did not go up on stage.
One of them took the unconscious Zhou Xinghao off the stage, leaving behind a handsome young man with a refined appearance and even aristocratic air.
Zheng Zhan didn't waste any words and continued his refereeing duties, "Individual Elimination Tournament, fifth match, get ready to begin, both sides state their names."
"Shrek, Zhou Huan."
"Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Lan Xiu."
"The match begins!"
Immediately, the aura of the Sun Moon Team player named Lan Xiu changed, and six Soul Ring— two yellow, three purple, and one black—suddenly appeared on his body, revealing him to be a Soul Emperor.
The Soul Emperor who can be a regular member of the Sun Moon Team is naturally Level 6 Soul Master.
A flash of silver light appeared on Lan Xiu's body, and nine silver orbs instantly rose from him and hovered in mid-air. These were nine silver metal orbs, about the size of footballs, which Lan Xiu called the Nine Luminaries, and they were also his exclusive Soul Tool.
Lan Xiu is a spirit-type Soul Master, but unlike Huo Gua, he does not have eyes as a vessel, thus lacking Body Martial Soul.
He simply possesses the attribute of mental control; it is a spiritual Martial Soul without any physical form.
If Lan Xiu were simply Soul Master, his personal combat strength would actually be quite low. After all, not everyone can defeat enemies with Spiritual Power unless you are the protagonist or have a cheat code.
However, as a Soul Engineer, Lan Xiu's true strength was developed, and he even became a rare control-type Soul Engineer.
The nine metal spheres he called the Nine Luminaries were his exclusive weapons, or even another form of his Martial Soul.
Because at this moment, Lan Xiu's Spiritual Power had already been integrated into the Nine Luminaries.
Each metal sphere emitted a beam of silver light, which instantly intertwined to form a huge net of light, enveloping Zhou Huan in the sky.
In fact, these silver rays are a type of Rebound Ray, which reflects the attacks received back to the opponent; they are a very special kind of Soul Tool Ray.
It doesn't have much offensive power itself, but it's an excellent way to trap enemies.
Zhou Huan glanced at the enormous cage that had been woven in just a few seconds and found it quite novel.
In fact, it wouldn't be difficult for him to leave before the Silver Light Cage formed, since several seconds would have been enough for him to end the battle.
However, he still wanted to experience what this so-called Rebound Ray was like, after all, the opportunity was quite rare.
However, Lan Xiu's release of the Nine Luminaries Silver Light Cage was not simply to trap Zhou Huan.
Just as the Silver Light Cage rapidly shrank around Zhou Huan, a two-meter-long Soul Tool Cannon Barrel also appeared on Lan Xiu's shoulder.
Immediately, a dark red streak of light shot out from the Soul Tool Cannon Barrel and struck Zhou Huan inside the Silver Light Cage.
This is clearly a genuine Level 6 Soul Tool Shell!
It seemed that Zhou Huan, trapped, had no way to escape and could only take the hit.
The next second, Zhou Huan formed a sword with two fingers of his right hand and slashed fiercely at the oncoming Level 6 Soul Tool Shell!
A flash of blue and white sword light streaked past!
"Sizzle--"
The first thing to be cleaved was actually the silver Rebound Ray!
Then, with a loud "BOOM--", the Soul Tool Shell that had been struck exploded!
Looking at the Silver Light Cage that had cleaved open a large hole, Zhou Huan shook his head, thinking to himself, "It seems I overestimated this thing."
Whether the so-called Rebound Ray can actually rebound depends entirely on how strong your attack power is.
At this moment, the power of the Emperor Sword that Zhou Huan used was far less than that of the sword strike he used against Long Aotian.
Hmm, a little disappointed.
Since the Rebound Ray was unexpectedly weak, Zhou Huan decided not to continue playing.
With a flash, he escaped the Silver Light Cage with a large gap in its opening, like a wisp of white smoke.
Upon seeing this, Lan Xiu on the opposite side immediately tried to recall Nine Luminaries to protect himself.
However, before Nine Luminaries, under his mental control, had even returned halfway, a seemingly intangible, snow-white hand had already pressed against his chest.
"Click--"
The familiar sound of ice forming rang out again, and the familiar ice sculptures reappeared.
For some reason, when the referee, the Unbreakable Douluo, saw that what appeared on the stage was an ice sculpture, he breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that it wasn't the almost half-crippled state that had just appeared.
Being an ice sculpture is better than being a cripple, since being an ice sculpture is only temporary.
Zheng Zhan immediately rushed to the two of them and announced, " In the Individual Elimination Tournament, match five, Shrek wins!"
