Martial Soul Counter

Ning Rongrong and the others on the other side had finally calmed down, but seeing Dongfang Yao's expression, it was as if he were protecting a chick, firmly shielding Li Bai behind them.

After explaining the situation, Baili Shouyue left with the hot-blooded, immature boy.

·····································

Although he wields a similar Seven Star Sword to his idol Li Bai, and his various moves and sword techniques are also very similar to Li Bai's, Dongfang Yao's power comes from the star power inherited by his family. The Seven Star Sword is a uniquely shaped longsword containing star power, which helps him to unleash star power.

If you are deceived by Dongfang Yao's swordsman appearance, you will suffer a great loss!

Dongfang Yao is also known as the Son of the Stars!

Baili Shouyue sometimes finds it a bit tricky to fight Dongfang Yao because you can't maintain distance in a ring match.

Only by engaging in ultra-long-range sniping can Baili Shouyue's strengths be fully utilized.

In short to medium-distance arena battles, Dongfang Yao's mobility allows him to quickly dash into Baili Shouyue, a fragile character.

That evening, as expected, Baili Shouyue was summoned by Dai Weisi.

Dai Weisi initially tried to win over the two geniuses by seducing them with his beauty, but unfortunately, Baili Shouyue rejected the catwoman slave, so Dai Weisi had to enjoy her himself.

Then, he sent his younger sister, Dai Yue'er, to try and win over Dongfang Yao, this innocent-looking young genius, through love and marriage. Dai Weisi was confident; who could resist the pursuit of a beautiful and aloof princess?

Unfortunately, Dongfang Yao was like a reckless man who didn't understand love. He not only readily accepted Dai Yue'er's words of admiration, but also casually said that he would take Dai Yue'er Dai Yue'er in the future.

As a princess of the Star Luo Royal Family, Dai Yue'er was speechless at Dongfang Yao's tactlessness and didn't take his words to heart.

Dai Weisi found it more difficult to deal with Baili Shouyue. Beauty had no effect on him, so Dai Weisi could only spend money and use rare mineral materials that Baili Shouyue was interested in to win him over.

Under Dai Weisi's subtle and overt probing, Dongfang Yao readily admitted that his idol was Li Bai.

He even brazenly declared that he wanted to surpass his idol Li Bai.

There wasn't a trace of cunning or pretense; it was all genuine sincerity.

Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun, who were standing to the side, were stunned.

Having come from powerful families, they were used to all sorts of intrigue and deceit. Even when a commoner came to them, they would fawn over him. This was the first time they had ever met someone like Dongfang Yao.

Their sincerity is both reassuring and frightening.

Don't worry, you don't need to worry about this kind of person stabbing you in the back.

My concern is, what if this guy is just as brazen when facing the enemy...?

However, after confirming that Dongfang Yao would not hold back against his idol Li Bai, Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun left.

They were really busy, not only having to work hard to cultivate their skills, but also having to maintain the complex and cumbersome social circles of the nobility.

The support they received didn't appear out of thin air; it also needs to be maintained.

After seeing the two off, Baili Shouyue turned back and looked at Dongfang Yao, who was happily eating with a satisfied expression, and felt exhausted once again.

Summoner have essentially given themselves the job of babysitting!

··································

The battle between the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and the Star Luo Royal Academy represents the prestige of both countries, so it is naturally a grand affair and will not take place in the Soul Fighting Arena.

The Star Luo Empire is martial and extremely dog-eat-dog. Even powerful forces like the Upper Three Sects are suppressed in the Star Luo Empire. They had always wanted to invade the neighboring Heaven Dou Empire, but were unfortunately blocked by the Spirit Hall.

This time, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy took the initiative to come to them, and they were all very confident in the Star Luo Royal Academy.

The matches are scheduled for three days from now: Heaven Dou First Team vs. Star Luo First Team, and Heaven Dou Second Team vs. Star Luo Second Team.

A Ke and Pei Qinhu of the Star Luo Second Team looked at Kai, who was leading six opponents from the Heaven Dou Second Team. Moreover, the two of them could use their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, so they felt that they should be able to win this time.

Um...

They have forgotten the days when they were chased and hacked at by the Armored King wielding a greatsword.

Chapter 172 Martial Soul Counter

The Heaven Dou Royal Academy had already collected information on the members of the Star Luo Royal Academy Team.

Star Luo Royal Academy Team 1

Captain: Dai Weisi, Martial Soul: Evil Eye White Tiger, Level 45 Power Attack System Battle Soul Ancestor.

Vice Captain: Baili Shouyue, Martial Soul: Vermilion Bird Sniper Rifle, Level 42 Power Attack System Battle Soul Ancestor.

Team member: Dongfang Yao, Martial Soul: Seven Star Sword, Level 41 Power Attack System Battle Soul Ancestor.

Team member: Zhu Zhuyun, Martial Soul: Hell Spirit Cat, Level 43 Agility-Attack Type Battle Soul Ancestor.

Team member: Ying Wei, Martial Soul: Swollen Water Buffalo, Level 39 Power Attack System Battle Soul Elder.

Team member: Dong Hui, Martial Soul: Supreme Goodness Like Water, Level: Level 36 Support-type Battle Soul Elder.

························

Star Luo Royal Academy Team Two

Captain: Pei Qinhu, Martial Soul: Bright Flame Tiger, Level 42 Power Attack System Battle Soul Ancestor.

Vice Captain: A Ke, Martial Soul: Night Hunter Cat, Level 41 Agility-Attack Type Battle Soul Ancestor.

Team member: Tang Hongning, Martial Soul: Fierce Thunder Jackal, Level 39 Agility-Attack Type Battle Soul Elder.

Team member: Xuan Zhen, Martial Soul: Celestial Pivot Umbrella, Level 38 Defensive Battle Soul Elder.

Team member: Man Yun, Martial Soul: Nebula Fan, Level 37 Power Attack System and Control Type Battle Soul Elder.

Team member: Xu Youyou, Martial Soul: Star Crown, Level 38 Control and Support Type Battle Soul Elder.

Team member: Yang Mingxin, Martial Soul: Supreme Goodness Like Water, Level 36 Support-type Battle Soul Elder.

Just by looking at the Martial Soul and name of the second team, one should be able to guess that the composition of the second team is extremely complex.

There are two traitors inside!

Xu Youyou of the secluded Xingguan Star Crown Sect and her family's Man Yun are extremely helpful to the Man Family.

Although the Star Crown Sect lives in seclusion, it has always harbored ambitions in secret.

They knew that the Star Crown Martial Soul was effective against the Evil Eye White Tiger Martial Soul. Unfortunately, the Dai Family had an affiliated Zhu Family, whose Martial Soul were highly compatible, making it easy for them to use the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Hell White Tiger.

With the assistance of the Zhu Family, even though the Star Crown Martial Soul counters the White Tiger Martial Soul, they still cannot dethrone the Dai Family.

For this reason, the Star Crown Sect has remained secluded, secretly waiting for an opportunity.

Until this generation, the Dai Family produced a branch disciple named Pei Qinhu whose Martial Soul underwent a benign mutation.

Xu Youyou learned from her elders that Pei Qinhu's Martial Soul was very powerful, and that the Star Crown Martial Soul might have little or no effect on the White Tiger Martial Soul.

Unconvinced, she took her childhood friend Man Yun down the mountain and arrived at Star Luo City, at the Star Luo Royal Academy...

Not only did she fail to defeat Pei Qinhu, Xu Youyou also encountered Dongfang Yao that countered both the Star Crown Martial Soul and the Nebula Fan Martial Soul.

Xu Youyou still remembers that day in the ranking competition within the academy. She was only thinking about how to test Pei Qinhu when she reached him. Looking at the talkative, immature boy opposite her, Xu Youyou's eyes were indifferent, and she didn't take him seriously at all.

Until the competition officially begins.

The power of the stars went out of control—no, to be precise, the power of the stars ignored the Star Crown Martial Soul and surged forth from the boy opposite.

The power of the stars surrounded the boy like stars around the moon, almost solidifying into a tangible form.

Xu Youyou's Star Crown Martial Soul was mostly destroyed; it could even be said that she was completely humiliated by that unreliable boy.

His once unparalleled offensive power has vanished, and his absolute defensive capabilities are like paper in front of the boy.

Xu Youyou didn't even realize what had happened until she was knocked off the stage.

Absolute restraint!

Just like the suppression that the Star Crown Martial Soul exerted on the Nebula Fan Martial Soul, this suppression came from rank.

This boy named Dongfang Yao is like a child of the stars!

Martial Soul related to the power of stars can only bow down in submission before him!

···························

After losing, Xu Youyou immediately informed the sect. Such a naturally restraining Martial Soul must be nipped in the bud before the opponent can grow stronger.

However, the assassination attempt ended in failure.

The sect's Soul Douluo elder returned severely injured, and the sect leader even perished.

This seemingly talkative and enthusiastic young man was not the commoner Soul Master he had assumed; he was being secretly protected by other forces.

Xu Youyou had no choice but to abandon her assassination plans.

The sect elders, fearing retaliation for the assassination attempt, urged her to return to Star Luo City and befriend Dongfang Yao to reach a reconciliation.

Xu Youyou returned with a mission, but progress was slow. Dongfang Yao seemed enthusiastic and cheerful, but only by getting closer could one see how difficult he was to deal with.

Xu Youyou couldn't even have a normal conversation with him; he talked too much, and what he said was too unrealistic.

Sometimes, he would say that he had a Soul King sister and wanted to challenge her, asking Xu Youyou if she wanted to team up with him.

Sometimes, he says he wants to beat his idol.

Sometimes he says he has Star Team, but unfortunately he and his teammates are temporarily separated, and he is currently trying his best to find them.

Xu Youyou felt that this guy was just daydreaming.

··················

Until today, Xu Youyou learned that the Drunken Sword Immortal of the Heaven Dou Empire was Dongfang Yao's idol.

"So everything you said before was true?"

"Of course, this genius never lies!" Dongfang Yao struck various dashing poses.

"And who is your Soul King sister?" Xu Youyou asked, taking a deep breath.

"My sister's name is Dongfang Jing, and she's a full member of the Spirit Hall Academy's first team! She's currently Soul King, and she'll probably be a Soul Emperor during the Advanced Soul Master Tournament. However, under my leadership, we're sure to win." Dongfang Yao answered honestly, ignoring Xu Youyou's unpleasant expression.

"Me? Fighting a Soul Emperor?" Xu Youyou pointed to herself and repeated, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"Well, our primary goal right now is to defeat my idol, don't worry..." Dongfang Yao's voice remained passionate and sunny.

Xu Youyou was caught in a mental whirlwind. Were all those seemingly false statements actually true?
