Douluo Continent: Simulating Douluo Dalu III, Dedicated to Trapping Tang San, Chapter 70

"Why do you think it's impossible?" Gong Yu asked with a smile.

Liu Erlong said, "You mean those seven people will perform Martial Soul Fusion, right? But the Seven-in-One Martial Soul Fusion Skill requires more than just the compatibility of the Martial Soul; it also requires a high degree of tacit understanding between the seven people. However, everyone has their own thoughts, so achieving a high level of tacit understanding among the seven people is practically impossible."

Gong Yu nodded, agreeing with Liu Erlong's words, and said, "Alright, you're right. Actually, I also think they can't complete the Seven-in-One Martial Soul Fusion Skill, but that doesn't prevent them from using the Seven-in-One Soul Skill Fusion Skill."

"Seven-in-One Soul Skill Fusion Skill?" Liu Erlong frowned immediately. She knew that if it was just Soul Skill Fusion Skill, the requirements were much lower than those for Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Moreover, if it was Soul Skill Fusion Skill Martial Soul the same type, its power should not be underestimated.

Gong Yu nodded and said, "Yes, it's Seven-in-One Soul Skill Fusion Skill. Also, most gemstone Martial Soul belong to the illusion category, so I guess their Seven-in-One Soul Skill Fusion Skill is related to illusions."

Then, Gong Yu looked at Gong Xi'er and said, "Xi'er, you've met your match this time. You'll be the one to fight against the Canghui Academy later! In the illusionary realm competition, I don't believe there's anyone stronger than you in this world. Even Shi Nian, who possesses the Nightmare Martial Soul, shouldn't be your match."

"Alright, young master, I'll fight Canghui Academy alone in a bit." Gong Xi'er replied, but then asked curiously, "Who is Shi Nian?"

Gong Yu smiled and said, "Shi Nian is an instructor at the Canghui Academy. The official team members of the Canghui Academy this time should be those he taught. That old man is now Soul Saint."

However, he has a particular fondness for hunting down geniuses. Once he sees anyone who poses a threat to the Canghui Academy, he will find a way to kill them. Moreover, his Martial Soul is Nightmare, which often kills people in their dreams, making them invisible and impossible to detect.

Upon hearing this, Gong Xi'er exclaimed in surprise, "Ah... doesn't that mean that Canghui Academy's series of victories is very likely because Shi Nian secretly eliminated some powerful opponents?"

Gong Yu shook his head and said, "No, although Shi Nian often does those underhanded things, he doesn't dare to act too frequently. Think about it, if every time one of the Canghui Academy's opponents gets into trouble, wouldn't Canghui Academy be suspected? So Shi Nian will only choose opponents who are truly a threat to the Canghui Academy when the opportunity arises."

"Will he target us?" Gong Xi'er asked again.

"No," Gong Yu said. "No, it should be said that he wouldn't dare. Our Academy of the Gods is not to be trifled with. Even if Shi Nian kills without leaving a trace, as long as a Titled Douluo investigates, they can still find some clues. So he wouldn't be foolish enough to attack you."

Upon hearing this, Gong Xi'er said, "What a pity, I was hoping he would come looking for trouble with me. I also want to try killing a Soul Saint."

Hearing this, Liu Erlong was also shocked. She thought to herself, "Do you monsters have to be so ruthless? You know I'm only Soul Saint right now. You're so powerful, does that mean you can kill me anytime?"

Gong Yu raised his hand and patted Gong Xi'er's head, smiling slightly, "Killing Soul Saint is nothing; there will be opportunities."

As the group was talking, a staff member walked into the rest area.

Before long, the members of the Squad of the Gods, led by the staff, stepped onto the arena.

Gong Yue didn't participate this time mainly because of what happened last night; she's still feeling unwell and it's inconvenient for her to play.

On the other side of the arena, the members of the Canghui Academy, led by another staff member, stepped onto the stage.

The referee appeared, had both sides bow to each other, and then announced the start of the match.

Chapter 174 On the Selection of the Crown Princess

When the referee announced the start of the match, Team of the Gods, as always, left only one person in place while the rest retreated. In recent matches, even Oscar didn't need to step into the ring; it was all women.

On the Canghui Academy Team's side, their captain gritted his teeth, very unhappy with the behavior of the Academy of the Gods. He felt looked down upon, but he was helpless. He couldn't very well tell the Academy of the Gods people not to leave!

He immediately roared, "Brothers, activate your Martial Soul!"

As his voice fell, the students from the Canghui Academy all unleashed their Martial Soul.

The surrounding audience cheered immediately. The process of the Soul Master releasing their Martial Soul together was undoubtedly the most dazzling. The appearance of each Soul Ring, the different effects produced by different Martial Soul, and the dazzling brilliance always fully stirred the audience's emotions.

Of the seven people from the Canghui Academy, only their captain was a Soul Ancestor with strength above level 40—the guy who looked to be in his thirties. The others were only in their thirties.

Moreover, among the remaining six Soul Elder, one of them did not have the optimal Soul Ring combination; instead, he had three Yellow Soul Ring. This combination greatly surprised the audience.

Although they were very dissatisfied that the Academy of the Gods only left one person to fight, the seven members of the Canghui Academy still treated the situation cautiously. When the referee announced the release of their Martial Soul, the seven quickly gathered together, with their captain standing at the front, forming an odd formation.

Apart from the captain, the other six people formed a hexagon, watching Gong Xi'er.

Seeing the seven students from the Canghui Academy forming an odd formation, Gong Xi'er remembered what Gong Yu had said before she went on stage and immediately realized that the seven were preparing to unleash a fusion technique.

"Are you planning to use Seven-in-One Fusion Skill?" Gong Xi'er said loudly with a bright smile, "Alright, I'll let you make the first move."

As she spoke, Gong Xi'er summoned her Martial Soul, and a Rose instantly appeared in her hand. Then, five Soul Ring —one yellow, two purple, and two black—pulsated out from under her feet. However, she showed no intention of making a move, but instead quietly watched the people from the Canghui Academy show off.

Seeing Gong Xi'er's Soul Ring setup, the Canghui Academy team members all frowned, feeling a lot of pressure.

In the audience, the crowd erupted in excitement once again upon seeing Gong Xi'er's Soul Ring setup.

Gong Xi'er is the second student in the Academy of the Gods to activate her Martial Soul and Soul Ring since the start of the Soul Master Elite Tournament. In the previous few competitions, only Gong Xue had activated her Martial Soul once. Both of them had Soul Ring were beyond their age limit.

"Another combination of Soul Ring exceeding the age limit!" Xue Ye in the VIP seats said with a strange expression, "I wonder how they managed to do that?"

At this opportune moment, Ning Fengzhi said, "It seems that the Academy of the Gods has mastered the method of absorbing Soul Ring beyond the time limit. Perhaps His Majesty could have the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy conduct exchanges with the Academy of the Gods under the guise of academic exchange, and maybe they could extract some information."

Upon hearing this, Xue Ye agreed, and then looked at his younger brother Prince Xue Xing, and the three education committee members sitting in the second row, saying, "Xue Xing, please make arrangements regarding what Sect Master Ning mentioned. Also, the three education committee members, if there is an academic exchange between the two sides, you will certainly be needed. I will trouble you all then."

The three education commissioners all waved their hands, then said in unison, "Your Majesty is too kind."

Then Meng Shenji continued, "Going on academic exchanges is our duty, and there's no need to trouble ourselves. Besides, I also want to see how the Academy of the Gods trains its students. If we can learn some experience from them, it should be of great help to our Heaven Dou Imperial Academy."

At this moment, Ning Fengzhi interjected, "Furthermore, His Highness the Crown Prince is of age to choose a Crown Princess. Your Majesty might as well select one from among the Team of the Gods. I think they wouldn't refuse something that would benefit the Academy of the Gods."

Upon hearing this, the three education committee members nodded in agreement. These three old fogies were originally on the Crown Prince's side, and Ning Fengzhi's suggestion was very beneficial to the Crown Prince, so they would definitely support it.

But then Prince Xue Xing said, "Your Majesty, why not also choose one for Xue Beng? If we select a girl from the Team of the Gods who can tame Xue Beng, perhaps he will be able to settle down."

Upon hearing Prince Xue Xing's words, the three education committee members and Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but twitch their lips. They all scoffed at Prince Xue Xing's words. Just what kind of person was Xue Beng? Did he, Xue Xing, not know his own limitations? He actually wanted to choose someone from the Team of the Gods as his wife? He was dreaming. In dreams, anything is possible.

At that moment, Xue Ye spoke up, saying, "Forget about Xue Beng. Do you think the people of the Team of the Gods are like cabbages on the street, to be taken as you please? You may want them, but they might not even want you! Don't let that little Xue Beng ruin my important plans."

Xue Ye had a very clear plan in mind. Was his search for a crown princess for Xue Qinghe merely for the purpose of finding one?

He planned to bring the Academy of the Gods into the united front of the Heaven Dou Empire. Even if he couldn't bring them in the end, he would take a step back and hope that as long as one of the girls in the Team of the Gods could become the Crown Princess, he could at least get the method of absorbing Soul Ring beyond the time limit.

In the eyes of the Xue Ye, once those girls became his own family, their so-called secrets would naturally cease to be secrets.

However, while their ideals were lofty, reality was harsh. These people were making plans in their minds, but they never considered that the Academy of the Gods would not even consider their plans. Their so-called wishful thinking was basically what it was.

Platinum Bishop Salas, standing to the side, listened intently, inwardly sneering. Where did this sense of superiority come from among the people of the Heaven Dou Empire, from the emperor down to his ministers? Had they forgotten that girl named Gong Qianqian who hadn't even given Xue Ye the slightest face?

To the average person, royalty is someone high above others, someone they would rush to curry favor with. But to the truly powerful, they would never stoop to associating with members of royalty.

Just as Xue Ye and the others were making some wishful thinking, the Canghui Academy team members finally moved on the arena.

The captain of the Canghui Academy took a slight step back, moving one meter away, and entered the hexagonal formation formed by the other six members.

As he retreated, the other six people simultaneously took a step forward, instantly expanding the previously dense hexagonal shape by one circle.

Strangely, although their formation had expanded, the resulting hexagon remained perfectly intact.

The six people took steps that were exactly the same distance apart, and the captain of the Canghui Academy retreated to the exact center of the formation.

Anyone with eyes can see that this is a formation that has been practiced for many years.

Immediately afterwards, it was clearly visible that all seven members of the Canghui Academy simultaneously raised their right hands.

Chapter 175 Seven Asura Illusion Realm

The gems that appeared in the right palms of the seven members of the Canghui Academy Team varied in color and shape, including round, rhomboid, triangular, and teardrop shapes, and each was a different color of the rainbow.

But the instant the seven gems appeared simultaneously, a layer of shimmering, multicolored light emanated from them, completely enveloping their bodies.

Gemstone Martial Soul are extremely Martial Soul. It's not that they are particularly powerful, but like Blue Silver Grass, these high-quality Martial Soul possess great versatility.

Depending on the different Soul Ring they acquire, they can develop in any direction.

It can be based on strength, control, agility, or even Auxiliary System; everything revolves around the Soul Ring.

In the Soul Master World, the stronger the Martial Soul, the better. However, most Martial Soul are already fixed when they are awakened, and have the most suitable direction for their development. Gem-type Martial Soul are the opposite, and they have the greatest uncertainty among all Martial Soul.

Gem-type Martial Soul are rare to begin with, but for seven of them to appear on the same arena, and even more so within the same team, is even more exceptional.

At this moment, Liu Erlong, who was in the rest area, finally understood why Gong Yu had said that the Canghui Academy Team was not simple.

On the arena, surrounded by shimmering, precious light, the captain of the Canghui Academy Team coldly stared at Gong Xi'er and said in a chilling tone, "Hmph... those who look down on us will pay the price."

Gong Xi'er shrugged and scoffed, "Fine, I'll wait. I'll give you time to build up your strength and see what price you can make me pay!"

The captain of the Canghui Academy Team suddenly smiled. His smile looked strange, as if he felt a sense of relief. They had been holding back for a very long time, waiting for this moment to arrive.

The Academy of the Gods always sends only one person to fight is an insult to all other teams, so they have long been a thorn in the side of all other teams. Others don't say anything, but that's because they are intimidated by the strength of the Team of the Gods.

At this moment, Canghui Academy will prove its strength by defeating the Academy of the Gods, and tell everyone that they are the most promising contenders in this competition.

"You'll find out soon enough." With that strange smile, the captain of the Canghui Academy Team slowly raised his right hand, holding up the gem in his palm.

His Martial Soul is a round, silver gemstone, which has become the core of his team.

As he raised his gem, his Fourth Soul Ring lit up, making him the only one with Fourth Soul Ring in the Canghui Academy Team.

The other six team members did the same thing, raising their gem Martial Soul one by one. As the gems in their hands lit up, their Third Soul Ring also began to flash.

Then, colorful light shot up from the seven gems and condensed into a huge seven-colored pillar of light centered on the Martial Soul of the captain of the Canghui Academy Team.

The beam of light pierced the air and spread out instantly over a distance of thirty meters, completely enveloping the seven people who had formed a formation.

Instantly, only the dazzling and enormous light remained on the field, and the figures of the seven members of the Canghui Academy Team were simultaneously hidden within the enormous light.

"Sect Master Ning, is this Seven-in-One Martial Soul Fusion Skill?" Xue Ye's eyes gleamed with wonder, but he wasn't sure if his guess was correct.

Ning Fengzhi shook his head and said with certainty, "No, in my memory, no one on the continent has ever been able to complete the Seven-in-One Martial Soul Fusion Skill. This is at most Seven-in-One Fusion Skill, or rather, Seven-in-One Soul Skill Fusion Skill."

"It's just Seven-in-One Soul Skill Fusion Skill. It's a bit of a pity, but it's still very powerful." Xue Ye sighed, looking at the only figure he could see on the arena, Gong Xi'er, and then asked, "Sect Master Ning, do you think that little girl can win?"

"I'm not sure." Ning Fengzhi shook his head with a wry smile, trying to smooth things over, "However, when the young girl was opening her Martial Soul at the Canghui Academy, she mentioned the Seven-in-One Soul Skill Fusion Skill, as if she had anticipated this, so I guess she probably already had a way to deal with it."

"Oh... is that so? Then I'm somewhat looking forward to it." Xue Ye stroked his white beard and chuckled.

In Xue Ye's view, the Academy of the Gods would definitely agree to the immense honor of finding someone from the Team of the Gods to be his Crown Princess. Therefore, he regarded the Team of the Gods as his own private property, and since it was his own property, he naturally hoped that his team would win.

At this moment, the pillar of light formed by the seven-colored rays on the arena instantly spread out, filling the entire arena in the blink of an eye.

Various kinds of precious light burst forth from it. The dazzling light seemed to have no offensive power, but the audience on the stands were completely attracted to it. The dazzling and mesmerizing feeling left many ordinary people bewildered.

Gong Xi'er remained motionless, watching quietly. Perhaps because she was extremely bored and a little sleepy, she even yawned.

As the seven-colored light spread towards them, Gong Xi'er remained unchanged, making no move.

"The Team of the Gods is too arrogant, sending only one person per battle. It's an insult! Today I'll make you pay for your arrogance. Now you'll taste the terror of our Seven Asura Illusion Realm!"

The Canghui Academy Team had already disappeared into the seven-colored light. At this moment, the captain's sharp and crazy voice came from within the seven-colored light, as if announcing to the whole world that they had won.

As the captain's voice faded, the surrounding multicolored light instantly magnified, completely enveloping the entire arena. The arena was round, and so was the multicolored light pillar; at that moment, the soaring light illuminated almost the entire arena.

The hazy light filled the air with a strange atmosphere, Gong Xi'er's figure finally disappeared into it, vanishing without a trace.

The entire audience fell silent, and the commentator in the VIP section was completely speechless.

But at that moment, Gong Xi'er's voice came from the seven-colored light that enveloped the entire arena. "How boring. I've been waiting for so long, and this is all I get."

With such meager methods, you think you can make my Team of the Gods pay the price? Heh, trying to play illusion games with me? With your paltry Spiritual Power, you think you're qualified to play illusion games? Since you want to play, then I'll let you experience what a real illusion game is like."

"Fifth Soul Skill, Extreme Fear."

As Gong Xi'er's voice was transmitted from the seven-colored light, the next moment, a terrible scream could be heard from within the seven-colored light.

"Ah... don't come any closer!"

"A ghost... a ghost!"

"Child, don't come looking for me. It wasn't my wish for your mother to have an abortion."

"Ah... Sister-in-law, I know I was wrong, please don't come looking for me again."

Amidst the seven-colored light, screams of agony erupted from the Canghui Academy team members. Their fear was amplified by Gong Xi'er's Soul Skill, leading to the revelation of various previously unknown secrets.

Chapter 176 Qian Renxue, who came to my doorstep

Gong Xi'er's fifth Soul Skill comes from a 30,000-year-old Demonic Eye Illusion Marten.

When the fifth Soul Skill is unleashed, it creates an illusion where countless pairs of eyes appear. These densely packed eyes blink rapidly, enough to frighten many people. If one makes eye contact with those eyes, it amplifies the fear in one's heart.

Furthermore, the illusion would emit the exotic fragrance of the Rose Martial Soul, which also contained the poison of the Demonic Eye Illusion Marten. Under extreme fear, the attack accompanied by this poison was something that the seven members of the Canghui Academy could not withstand.

The audience, initially silent because they couldn't see what was happening within the seven-colored light, began to murmur amongst themselves after hearing the various despicable acts committed by the Canghui Academy team members.

No one expected that the seven members of the Canghui Academy each had their own secrets, and none of them were clean. From now on, the reputation of the Canghui Academy will probably be ruined because of today's events.

Amidst the seven-colored light, as the screams of the Canghui Academy team members gradually rose, the Seven Asura Illusion Realm they had been maintaining could no longer be sustained.

The seven-colored beam of light then gradually dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As the seven-colored beam of light dissipated, the eight people who had been hidden within it gradually revealed themselves.

Among the eight people, Gong Xi'er stood there steadily. Then, with a thought, she absorbed the Rose Martial Soul directly into her body, and her fifth Soul Skill was thus dispelled.

However, at the moment their Soul Skill dissipated, the six members of the Canghui Academy collapsed onto the arena and lost consciousness.

Only the captain, whose Soul Power Level was higher than the others, simply slumped down, barely managing to stay conscious. Recalling the illusion he had just experienced, the fear in his heart had not yet subsided.
