Douluo Continent: Simulating Douluo Dalu III: The Legend of the Dragon King, Targeting Tang San

Xie Yue's Moon Blade weren't one, but two, both blood-red and shaped like crescent moons. He held them in the center of Moon Blade with both hands. Then, with a movement of his body, he opened his hands and charged at his sister from behind.

A sudden red light appeared, catching Xie Yue and Hu Liena in the middle of it; it turned out the two were trying to end the battle quickly.

This Martial Soul Fusion Skill is called Demon Charm, which is mainly for control. Within the control range of the Demon Charm skill, everyone's senses will be reduced by 50%, their Soul Power will be suppressed by 50%, and all their actions will be slowed down by 50%.

On the Imperial Fighting Team's side, Dugu Yan took the lead, releasing her own poison into the surrounding red mist.

Dugu Yan didn't want to use poison, but after the brother and sister from the Spirit Hall Team Martial Soul Fusion, a red mist rose around them. In the blink of an eye, nearly half the arena, including both teams' teammates, was enveloped in the dragon's mist, so she had no choice but to take this action.

After all, it was impossible to find the hand-chopping technique amidst the pervasive red mist. Dugu Yan released the poison primarily to force out the people inside the red mist.

But it seems she miscalculated. The moment she released the poison, the Spirit Hall Team was not idle. In the blink of an eye, five of the seven members of the Imperial Fighting Team were thrown out.

Chapter 256 Powerful Martial Soul Fusion Skill

Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan's fierce cries echoed continuously from within the red mist. Immediately afterward, Dugu Yan's body flew out amidst a thunderous roar. She had no visible injuries, but was spitting out blood as she was blasted off the stage.

Before long, the final roar disappeared, and the surrounding red mist faded away. The brother and sister Xie Yue Hu Liena, who had previously appeared as a fusion of demons and humans, returned to being two separate individuals.

Yu Tianheng stood opposite them, his arms, which had transformed into dragon shapes, trembling incessantly.

"So this is all the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul? It can't even resist Charm. How laughable." Xie Yue's indifferent voice drifted out, and with a light swing of the Moon Blade in his hand, as if a thread was pulling Yu Tianheng's body, his powerful body crashed to the ground, the dragon scales on his arms scattered and blood splattered.

Xie Yue slowly raised the Moon Blade in her hand, but her gaze unconsciously drifted towards the rest area of Academy of the Gods, where it met Gong Yu's eyes. Gong Yu had a contemptuous smile on his lips.

Immediately, Xie Yue felt a pang of guilt, realizing he had gone a bit too far with his boasting. Just a few days ago, his entire team had been unable to move an inch under Gong Yu's domain of intimidation. So, he, who had originally intended to say something to provoke the surrounding teams, instantly fell silent.

Looking at Gong Yu, Xie Yue felt a strange sense of fear, but the next moment, he forcibly suppressed his fear and told himself that as long as he Martial Soul Fusion with his sister as soon as they entered the arena next time, he might not be no match for Gong Yu.

Gong Yu had no idea that Xie Yue was having so many thoughts. The match came quickly and ended just as quickly. In fact, because the red mist obscured the view, there wasn't even a chance to see the exciting parts before it was over. So he led his team away from the arena and back to the hotel.

After a few days of rest, the third round of the competition arrived in the blink of an eye.

In the third round, the Academy of the Gods faced off against the Shitrek Academy. However, under the arrangement of the Clown Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, the Shitrek Team voluntarily chose to concede and enter the loser's bracket, while the Academy of the Gods won without a fight.

A few days later, the fourth round of the competition began. The Academy of the Gods Team faced off against the Spirit Hall Team. However, the Spirit Hall Team voluntarily conceded defeat and chose to enter the loser's bracket.

On the same day, Shitrek Team faced off against Blazing Fire Team.

The Shitrek Team used Seven-in-One Fusion Skill to forcibly summon the Tool Soul True Body, barely managing to defeat Blazing Fire Academy.

In fact, the Shitrek Team didn't want to reveal this trump card prematurely, but facing the new Blazing Fire Team, formed by the merger of the original Blazing Fire Academy and the Godwind Academy, they simply couldn't defeat Blazing Fire Academy without using their trump card.

If they couldn't defeat Blazing Fire Academy, how could Shitrek Academy advance to the fifth round? So, with no other choice, they reluctantly opted to use the Seven-in-One Fusion Skill.

A day passes in the blink of an eye.

The next morning, Gong Yu appeared at the hotel entrance with a group of beautiful women, both young and old, preparing to head to the competition venue.

Unfortunately, they ran into Shitrek's people right at the hotel entrance.

The students from the Shitrek Academy looked quite energetic, likely thanks to the Little Scumbag's mastery of pharmacology. They must have taken drugs last night to recover, otherwise, having forcibly used their Tool Soul True Body yesterday, they wouldn't have been able to recover overnight on their own.

At this moment, the Shitrek Team was walking on air, incredibly awesome, and showed no signs of injury whatsoever.

"Hey... Grandmaster Lv Xiaogang, good morning! You guys are heading to the competition too, right? Remember to admit defeat early today!" Gong Yu greeted Yu Xiaogang with a smile, his lecherous hand deliberately wrapped around Liu Erlong's waist.

Yu Xiaogang squinted, suppressing her anger, not wanting to see Gong Yu.

But the next moment, Gong Yu said, "I heard that Grandmaster Lü Xiaogang, you and Tang San have a thing going on. You even did it in public. You're something else! Grandmaster is indeed Grandmaster, actually doing it with his disciple, and it's even between two men. You two really know how to have fun. I wish you and your disciple a happy marriage!"

Last time, Gong Xue and Gong Xi'er Gong Yu told Gong Yu about the incident they plotted against the Shitrek Seven Devils in Suotuo City more than two years ago, and they even described the details. So Gong Yu also knew that Yu Xiaogang and Tang San had a master-disciple relationship.

Gong Yu suddenly remembered this incident and decided to use it to annoy Yu Xiaogang and Tang San.

When Gong Yu teased her like that, Yu Xiaogang instantly opened her angry eyes, which were filled with murderous intent. Tang San also felt the same way, as he really didn't want to hear anyone mention that unbearable past again.

When the others in Shitrek looked at Gong Yu and the others, only Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun showed a united front against a common enemy and adopted a defensive posture.

As for the others, the three hired team members looked indifferent, completely unaware of what Gong Yu was saying. Moreover, they didn't have a good relationship with Tang San and Yu Xiaogang, so it was impossible for them to be on the same side as Tang San and the others. These three were just thinking about ending the competition as soon as possible, so that no one would owe anyone anything.

Of the remaining people, Oscar looked at Zhu Zhuqing with a complicated expression, but Zhu Zhuqing didn't even bother to look up at Oscar.

The substitutes remained silent, adopting an attitude of indifference as if it were none of their business.

Flender glared at Gong Yu through gritted teeth. He wished he could just go over and chop off Gong Yu's hand that was wrapped around Liu Erlong's slender waist, but unfortunately he didn't have the guts or the strength.

As Liu Erlong walked past Flender, she stopped in her tracks, Gong Yu naturally stopped as well.

Liu Erlong turned to look at Flender and said, "Flender, you don't have much time left. You need to pay me back the money as soon as possible. I need it to prepare my dowry!"

Liu Erlong said this on purpose to anger Flender. Ever since Yu Xiaogang stirred things up, her relationship with Flender had deteriorated. Then Oscar was poached, so their relationship had reached a point of no return.

Upon hearing Liu Erlong mention repaying the money, Flender immediately wilted. That was hundreds of thousands of Gold Soul Coin; it wasn't something that could be repaid so easily.

But when he heard that Liu Erlong was preparing her dowry, Flender felt another pang of pain in his heart. His beloved girl was about to get married, but the groom was someone else.

Although he was extremely saddened, Flender didn't want to lose face in this situation, so he said, "The agreed time hasn't arrived yet, what's the rush? I'll return every penny to you then."

"Hmph, I hope you keep your word!" Liu Erlong didn't actually expect Flender to return the money. The reason she brought up this topic at this time was just to annoy Shitrek's side for Gong Yu!

After saying that, the group continued walking towards the competition venue.

Chapter 257 Shrek VS Spirit Hall (Part 1)

Today is the last day of the competition, consisting of two matches.

The first match was between the Spirit Hall Team and the Shitrek Team in the loser's bracket. After the two academy teams determined the winner, they would then compete against the Academy of the Gods for the championship.

The group from the Academy of the Gods entered the rest area, and shortly after, the group from the Shitrek Academy also entered the arena.

A moment later, the referee's voice echoed throughout the arena, "The final round of the loser's bracket in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament is about to begin. Both teams, prepare yourselves. The match will commence in fifteen minutes."

Both sides returned to their positions, Shrek Seven Devils surrounded Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang in the center.

Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang was the first to raise his right hand, and each of the Shrek Seven Devils followed suit, their eight hands stacked together, simultaneously letting out a thunderous shout, "Victory is certain!"

On the other side, the Spirit Hall Academy Team suddenly heard the loud shouts from the Shrek Academy. Captain Xie Yue couldn't help but curl his lips and sneer, "Victory is assured? Today we'll show them what true strength is."

The difference in Soul Power is an insurmountable chasm. Even the lowest-ranking Soul Master among us is higher in level than their captain. I want to see how they can win.

A cold and sinister gaze swept over his companions as Xie Yue said in a chilling voice, "His Holiness the Pope is watching, and the elders are watching too. We must not only win this match, but we must win completely. We will not give them the chance to use the Seven-in-One Fusion Skill. Without the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique, they have no chance of winning whatsoever."

The unwavering standoff between the two sides stirred a sense of excitement among the Soul Master watching around the arena.

Who hasn't been young? Who hasn't been passionate? For them, the outcome of this match isn't important; what matters is witnessing a thrilling team fight.

Fifteen minutes is not a long time, and soon both teams entered the square at the referee's prompting.

The Spirit Hall Academy Team specially changed into a fiery red uniform, while the Shitrek Team remained in their poop-green uniform, which was covered with double standards. The contrast between the two teams was stark.

After both sides took their positions, the cardinal, acting as referee, immediately announced, "The match is ready. Both sides may release their Martial Soul."

The fourteen people on both sides stared at each other without uttering a word, but the intense clash of their auras instantly escalated the tension to its peak.

At this moment, even a powerful figure as esteemed as Pope Bibi Dong couldn't help but focus all his attention on this match.

The seven members of the Spirit Hall Academy Team moved almost simultaneously, and surging Soul Power erupted from their bodies in an instant.

The three people standing at the front, Xie Yue, Yan, and Hu Liena, each had the best Soul Ring configuration of two yellow, two purple, and one black Soul Ring. The other four people behind them also had the best configuration of two yellow and two purple Soul Ring.

The male student at the very back quickly took a step back, a gleaming golden scepter appearing in his hand. It was immediately clear that he possessed a support-type weapon Martial Soul.

As the Spirit Hall Team released their Martial Soul, Shitrek's team also began releasing theirs simultaneously. The seven people stood in order, with Tang San and Dai Mubai at the front.

Behind Tang San and Dai Mubai stood Oscar and Ma Hongjun respectively, and in the last row were the three Soul Ancestor hired by Shitrek.

The three hired Soul Ancestor had no hope of defeating the Spirit Hall Team, so they basically went on stage just to get by. In their view, it was the last match anyway, and once it was over, it was over. There was no way they could make it to the finals.

This time, Shitrek's side did not use the Seven-in-One Fusion Skill again. They knew that the Spirit Hall would not give them a chance, so they simply released their Martial Soul simultaneously in a very normal manner.

However, Shitrek's change of tactics surprised the Spirit Hall side. Xie Yue frowned and said, "Don't they want to try the Seven-in-One Fusion Skill? What if we don't stop them? Are they so confident that they can defeat us, or do they know they can't win, so they're just giving up?"

Hu Liena said, "Brother, why do you care so much about them? Hurry up, we'll just use our Martial Soul Fusion to take them all out in one go."

"The match begins." After Hu Liena's voice fell, the referee also announced the start of the match, and then he quickly retreated, clearing the area.

On the Spirit Hall's side, Hu Liena was the first to move. She moved lightly and instantly reached the front of the group. As her Martial Soul was released, a fluffy tail appeared behind her.

A faint red light emanated from her body, and her eyes flashed red as she looked at Tang San. Her unique charm made it impossible not to look at her.

However, the members of Shitrek Team remained unmoved by Hu Liena's Charm.

Tang San's eyes had a faint purple hue, an effect of activating his Purple Demon Eye. The Purple Demon Eye had the ability to pierce through illusions, so he wasn't worried about being Charm.

The other six members of the Shitrek fighting group, reminded by Tang San, quickly closed their eyes and plugged their ears with their fingers, thus isolating themselves from sight and hearing in two ways.

Even the best Charm skills always require one of the six senses—hearing, sight, taste, smell, touch, or feeling—to be triggered.

At this moment, the only things Hu Liena could influence the Shitrek were sight and hearing; Shitrek calm actions undoubtedly rendered her Charm ineffective.

Tang San suddenly moved forward and used his Purple Demon Eye to mentally intimidate Hu Liena.

Charm is simply Spiritual Power skill; as long as you interrupt the opponent's skill casting, the Charm will be dispelled.

However, faced with Tang San's Spiritual Power, Hu Liena only swayed slightly, while Tang San staggered back several steps, his face turning pale, and two streams of blood flowed down his nose like winding snakes. He had clearly suffered a loss.

In terms of Soul Power, Tang San and Hu Liena are quite different.

As for Spiritual Power, although Tang San started cultivating the Purple Demon Eye from a young age, he was delayed by miscellaneous matters over the years. He didn't break through many realms in the Purple Demon Eye. In this time and space, he hadn't even been able to consume the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew. Therefore, his Spiritual Power was far inferior to Hu Liena's.

Although Tang San suffered a loss, he also managed to break Hu Liena's initiative.

The Charm was shattered, and Hu Liena's expression turned somewhat unpleasant. The next moment, she moved again.

"Little Ao," Tang San called out to Oscar.

Oscar, having plugged his ears, couldn't hear Tang San's voice, but he understood his lip movements. He instantly grasped Tang San's meaning, and a pink light flashed in his hand as he tossed it towards Tang San.

Tang San took the things Oscar ran over, then strode forward, heading straight for the seven members of the Spirit Hall Team. At the same time, six strands of Blue Silver Grass shot out from his right hand, Entanglement around the waists of the other six members of his team, and the Blue Silver Grass control was suddenly activated.

Chapter 258 Shrek VS Spirit Hall (Part 2)

Hu Liena coldly watched Tang San's actions, and then the five Soul Ring on her body flashed in a very rhythmic manner, first the black Fifth Soul Ring, then the fourth, third, second, and finally the yellow First Soul Ring.

With each fluctuation of her Soul Ring, the red light around her intensified, and the Xie Yue behind her also moved at that moment.

Xie Yue held two crescent-shaped, blood-red Moon Blade in his hands, and with a flicker, he merged with his sister Hu Liena.

This wasn't the first time such a scene had been witnessed. Xie Yue and Hu Liena underwent Martial Soul Fusion, merging into one person.

At the same time, two golden beams shot out from the scepter in the hand of the Auxiliary System- type Soul Master of the Spirit Hall Academy Team. The golden light shone brightly and quickly merged into Xie Yue and Hu Liena's bodies.

After the Martial Soul Fusion Skill was activated, red light burst forth from Xie Yue and Hu Liena's bodies, transforming into a red mist-like light screen that instantly enveloped half of the arena.

The seven members of Shitrek were also unable to escape being enveloped in the red light.

This time, the red light screen didn't need time to gradually improve, unlike the one used against the Imperial Fighting Team last time.

With the support of her teammates, the red light reached its peak in an instant, and Xie Yue and Hu Liena's Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Demon Charm, was activated.

The Martial Soul Fusion Skill unleashed by the two Soul King was, for a short period of time, absolutely comparable in power to a level 70 Soul Saint.

The brother and sister transformed into a person with long, flowing hair, whose gender was indistinguishable. Their strength reached the Soul Saint level. If all went smoothly, they could finish the battle against a team that wasn't entirely composed of Soul Ancestor within a minute.

The figure composed of Xie Yue and Hu Liena began to move silently. Their hair had turned red, and the two Moon Blade in their hands, now twice their original size, shimmered with a scarlet light at the tips of their outstretched arms.

As the surging, intense red light suddenly intensified, the combined figures vanished instantly into the thick red mist.

The thick red mist was a special energy mixed with malevolence and illusion. In addition to the three negative effects it inflicted, the most terrifying thing was that only Xie Yue and Hu Liena, who were using their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, could see within this red mist.

Sudden loss of sight would undoubtedly cause great mental and physical distress, especially when it occurs while one's overall physical condition is already weakened.

Even opponents of the same level as Xie Yue and his group have fallen victim to this Martial Soul Fusion Skill. The effect of this Soul Skill is comparable to the Seventh Soul Skill of an ordinary Soul Master.

"Well, Xi'er, have you figured anything out?" In the rest area of Academy of the Gods, Gong Yu turned his gaze to Gong Xi'er, who was watching the battle intently, and said, "You also practice illusion magic, have you discovered anything that can help you compensate for your weaknesses?"

"So-so. That androgynous thing's illusion magic isn't as powerful as mine." Gong Xi'er proudly raised her head, a slight smile playing on her lips, as if the Demon Charm was utterly insignificant in her eyes.

Upon hearing the words "neither male nor female," Gong Yu couldn't help but smile, then said, "Naturally, it's not as powerful as your illusions. Who told you to have such a much higher level of Spiritual Power? Spiritual Power determines the strength and effectiveness of illusions."

Na'er chimed in from the side, "That Martial Soul Fusion Skill does have its own unique characteristics."

Upon hearing this, Gong Yu said with some surprise, "Tell me, although my Spiritual Power is also very strong, I really don't know much about illusion magic."

Na'er said, "It's about emotions. After that Martial Soul Fusion Skill is activated, the stronger the emotion, the more powerful the illusion. Although Fourth Sister is also good at illusions, she doesn't enhance their power by stirring up emotions. If Fourth Sister wants to create her own illusion-type Soul Skill, she can consider this aspect."

Na'er possessed strong Spiritual Power and was also quite skilled in illusion magic, so she instantly saw through the Demon Charm's tricks and offered advice to Gong Xi'er.

"Create your own illusion-type Soul Skill?" Gong Xi'er nodded thoughtfully. "Okay, thank you for the reminder, Ninth Sister."

Na'er's face flushed slightly. At over a million years old, she didn't actually like the title "Ninth Sister," but she couldn't very well reveal her real age.
