Douluo Continent: Simulating Douluo Dalu III: The Legend of the Dragon King, Exclusively Trapping Tang San
The contestants on the stage today are quite a sight to behold, as both teams consist entirely of female members: one is the Academy of the Gods Team, and the other is the Skywater Academy Team.
Among the Five Elemental Academies, Skywater Academy has the most stringent application requirements, because in addition to ice and water attribute Martial Soul, they have several other requirements.
First, we only accept female students. Second, we only accept beautiful women.
Like the Academy of the Gods, Skywater Academy is open to ordinary people. However, the Academy of the Gods is different in that it does not accept non-ordinary people.
All the team members from the Skywater Academy participating in this competition were not only all female students, but all of them were beautiful.
"Sister, that handsome man isn't coming up. It seems we're ultimately not good enough for him!" The girl with short, dark green hair who spoke appeared to be the youngest of the seven official team members, with a somewhat childish look on her face.
"Yue'er, what nonsense are you talking about? He's not coming up because he's already announced that he won't be going on stage again before the match against the Spirit Hall Team." Shui Bing'er, with her long, flowing light blue hair, scolded her younger sister.
But at the end of her sentence, she added, "However, you are right about one thing: in terms of strength, we are indeed not worth his attention, not even by the attention of any of the official members of the Team of the Gods. Although only a few of them have revealed their Martial Soul, I estimate that they have all reached at least the fifth ring."
Having said that, Shui Bing'er seemed to radiate a fighting spirit, saying, "But that's fine too. A strong opponent makes it more challenging. If the opponent is too weak, there's no point in fighting."
Shui Bing'er is the captain and eldest sister of the Skywater Academy Team. The ranking of the Skywater Academy Team members is not based on age, but on strength.
Therefore, although Shui Bing'er is not the oldest, the sisters in the team call her "Big Sister" without any reservations, so her words carry the most authority in the team.
Today's competition consists of five matches played simultaneously, with the five major elements facing off against the other five academies.
However, the most noteworthy match is the battle between the Academy of the Gods and the Skywater Academy.
Next is the match between the Thunder Academy and the Imperial Fighting Team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. The reason why this match between the two academies is worth paying attention to is that the captains of both sides are from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
The two team leaders are Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin, who are cousins.
Yu Tianheng was designated as the family heir by the patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan because he was the most talented among the third generation. Yu Tianxin was slightly inferior, but the difference was not significant.
Therefore, Yu Tianxin, as the cousin, was very dissatisfied with Yu Tianheng. Although this battle was just a match, the two of them privately regarded it as a fateful battle. They had already decided in private that whoever lost would voluntarily withdraw from the competition for the family heir.
When the Five Elemental Academies and the Academy of the Gods entered the arena simultaneously, the entire Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena erupted in cheers.
Today is the last day of the qualifiers, and this is also the final round of matches.
Tickets for the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena have increased several times over today, but they are still extremely difficult to obtain.
The Academy of the Gods Team and the Skywater Academy Team respectively stepped onto the main arena from either side.
Shortly after, the commentator came on stage and spoke into his headset with great excitement.
The final round of this qualifying tournament is about to begin.
"First, let's turn our attention to the left-hand arena, where Elephant Armor Academy will face Yuesi Academy... Finally, let's focus our gaze on the main arena in the center."
"This will also be the most exciting match of the day, with the Academy of the Gods Team and the Skywater Academy Team, who have already secured their spots in the next round, putting on a spectacular final show in the Heaven Dou City qualifiers of this year's All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament."
"One team is the newly crowned strongest this year, while the other is a veteran powerhouse. Let's wait and see who will emerge victorious!"
On the main arena, the referee signaled for both sides to bow to each other.
After the ceremony, the seven members of the Skywater Academy stood in a row, led by Shui Bing'er.
Six members of the Team of the Gods slowly retreated to the edge of the arena, leaving only Gong Niuniu standing in the center.
As she retreated, Gong Lan specifically instructed Gong Niuniu, "Sixth Sister, everything is in your hands now."
"Don't worry, big sister, I can do it." Gong Niuniu's tone was calm, but it stirred up anger in the hearts of the Skywater Academy Team members.
At this moment, Shui Bing'er from the Skywater Academy Team frowned and called out, "Wait, are you sure you're only leaving one person?"
Shui Bing'er felt that if they were only fighting one person, they might not necessarily lose, because they had a trump card: her and Xue Wu would use their Martial Soul Fusion Skill. In her opinion, once the Martial Soul Fusion Skill was used, victory was assured.
Gong Lan didn't turn around, but instead waved her hand behind her back and said, "One person is enough. If you want us to make a move, you'll have to defeat our Xiao Liu first."
Chapter 193 Martial Soul Fusion Skill
The members of the Skywater Team were almost all gritting their teeth in anger.
Look at what Gong Lan said, it's incredibly arrogant.
"Hmph... You look down on us, huh? You'll pay for this in a minute," Shui Yue'er said resentfully, standing next to Shui Bing'er.
Although Shui Bing'er was somewhat angry inside, she didn't show it on her face. She glanced at Gong Niuniu, who was still on the field with the Team of the Gods, and immediately announced her own situation, "Shui Bing'er, captain of the Skywater Academy Team, level 43 Control-Type Battle Spirit Master."
Gong Niuniu also revealed some of her information. "Gong Niuniu the Academy of the Gods Team, Power Attack System Battle Soul King. As for my specific level, it's meaningless for you to know."
After Gong Niuniu finished speaking, the referee didn't want to delay any longer. "Both sides, prepare. You may release your Martial Soul now."
Gong Niuniu and Shui Bing'er raised their heads almost simultaneously. Gong Niuniu's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and her aura changed instantly. A fiery aura was suddenly released from her body. With her advantage in Soul Power, she immediately made the seven members of the Skywater Team look serious.
On the Team of the Gods side, there was only Gong Niuniu, so they couldn't form any battle formation.
On the other hand, the Skywater Team's battle formation consisted of three girls at the front, Shui Bing'er in the middle, Shui Yue'er and another agility-type girl on either side of her, and a girl with long black hair and a somewhat pale face standing at the back.
Both sides released their Martial Soul almost simultaneously, and the Skywater Team's overall strength became apparent after releasing their Martial Soul.
Besides Shui Bing'er, who was level 43, there were two other Soul Master above level 40. One was one of the three Power Attack System Battle Soul Master standing at the front, and the other was the black-haired girl standing at the back of their group.
Shui Bing'er was enveloped in a hazy blue light, with a dazzling blue halo floating behind her.
The three Power Attack System Battle Soul Master at the front all developed fish-scale-like scales on certain parts of their bodies after releasing their Martial Soul.
Shui Yue'er's Martial Soul gave her skin a bright glaze, and the other two also underwent some changes in their bodies.
Although the members of the Skywater Team have different numbers of Soul Ring, they are all optimally configured.
On Gong Niuniu's side, a purple crystal lamp surrounded by a nine-colored halo appeared in her palm, and five Soul Ring, purple, purple, black, black, and black, slowly pulsed out from under her feet.
Seeing that Gong Niuniu didn't have a red Soul Ring, the members of the Skywater Team breathed a sigh of relief.
Not only them, but also the people in the audience and VIP seats breathed a sigh of relief. If Gong Niuniu also possessed Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, then some people would really suspect that the Academy of the Gods was raising Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Otherwise, where did they get so many Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring?
However, when the members of the Skywater Team saw Gong Niuniu's Soul Ring configuration, they still felt increased pressure.
"The match begins," the referee announced immediately after both sides had finished releasing their Martial Soul.
"Attack." With just two simple words, Shui Bing'er commanded her six teammates to light up their First Soul Ring and charge towards Gong Niuniu together.
With seven against one, tactics are meaningless; the best tactic is to surround and attack together. In short, just unleash your Soul Skill on them all.
Shui Bing'er also rushed forward, but fell behind her six teammates. Her First Soul Ring, Nursery Rhyme, began to flash.
A flash of icy blue light streaked past, and Gong Niuniu felt a chill run through her body as solid ice began to slowly condense and rise from the soles of her feet.
A scornful smile appeared on Gong Niuniu's face. Then, with a thought, two flame-like patterns seemed to flash in her eyes, and a fiery aura instantly emanated from her body.
Instantly, the solid ice that had been slowly condensing up from under her feet turned into steam and disappeared.
Then, with graceful steps, her First Soul Ring lit up, and she parted her teeth slightly, uttering a soft cry, "First Soul Skill, Netherfire Illuminates the World."
As soon as Gong Niuniu's voice fell, the Ten-Colored Amethyst Lamp suddenly shone brightly, and then a beam of fiery red light flew out, landing directly in the middle of the Skywater Team members, turning into a flame.
The flame exploded in the blink of an eye, turning into a vast sea of fire that engulfed an area of 10 meters around it.
Within the area covered by the sea of fire, even the arena began to melt.
The members of the Skywater Team were engulfed in flames. The black-haired girl at the very back of the Skywater Academy Team also began to move. Strangely, she wasn't attacking, but simply dancing in place.
Her black hair fluttered as she danced gracefully, her four Soul Ring flashing alternately, and circles of blue light spreading out with her movements.
As she danced, a dark cloud appeared directly above the main arena, completely enveloping the area around the arena.
Immediately afterwards, large raindrops began to fall from the sky, turning into a large curtain of water that poured into the sea of fire. The other members of the Skywater Team couldn't help but show joy on their faces when they saw this. Water can overcome fire, there's no doubt about it. They hoped that the sea of fire would not be extinguished.
However, when faced with Gong Niuniu's Ultimate Fire, the water curtains were instantly evaporated into water vapor the moment they came into contact with the sea of fire.
The Skywater Team looked at each other in bewilderment. Since water wouldn't work, they could only desperately circulate their Soul Power to resist the scorching flames.
However, the temperature contained in Gong Niuniu's flames was simply too high. Within just a few seconds, some members of the Skywater Team could not hold on any longer.
"Sister, what should I do? I'm dying, my Soul Power is almost evaporated by the flames." The speaker was none other than Shui Bing'er's younger sister, Shui Yue'er.
"This..." Upon hearing her sister's words, Shui Bing'er's expression immediately turned somewhat ugly. She hadn't expected Gong Niuniu's First Soul Skill to be so powerful, especially since it was an area-of-effect attack, leaving no place to dodge.
"Does this mean I have to use my trump card now?" Shui Bing'er was somewhat troubled. The match had only just begun, less than a minute into, and she really didn't want to use her trump card now. However, faced with this raging fire that even water couldn't extinguish, she feared that only by using her trump card could she put it out.
But looking at her already wilted teammates, Shui Bing'er realized that if this continued, everyone's Soul Power would be evaporated in no time, and then it would be impossible to use their trump card.
"Alright, let's just finish this match quickly, even if it's a bit fast." Shui Bing'er finally made up her mind. She looked at Xue Wu beside her and said, "Come on, Xue Wu, let's perform Martial Soul Fusion and end this battle."
Xue Wu nodded, and then the two of them started moving. Shui Bing'er ran towards Xue Wu, and Xue Wu ran towards Shui Bing'er.
The moment they made contact, their blue and black hair merged into one, transforming into a dazzling blue-white beam of light that shot into the dark clouds above.
Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu's bodies disappeared simultaneously, and their Martial Soul Fusion Skill finally erupted.
Chapter 194 Ice and Snow Drifting
The temperature in the sky changed abruptly, and the raindrops that were still dripping gradually condensed into ice rain. The cold air swept in like a gale, rushing towards the sea of fire on the arena.
Disrupted by the cold air, the fire gradually diminished and, after a brief standoff, finally went out.
Although the fire was extinguished, the Skywater Academy Team, except for Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu who were good at using their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, had lost their fighting ability.
Immediately afterwards, the icy rain falling from the sky turned into snowflakes, which danced in the cold air.
Each snowflake was as sharp as a blade, swirling and drifting down, turning into an icy vortex that swept towards Gong Niuniu.
"This is our Martial Soul Fusion Skill, called ' Ice and Snow Drifting.' If you can't hold on, just admit defeat, and we'll stop," Shui Bing'er's voice came from afar.
Ice and Snow Drifting, a beautiful name, but within this beauty lies endless killing intent. The Martial Soul Fusion Skill unleashed by two level 40 Soul Master working together is no less powerful than Soul Skill performed by a level 60 Soul Master.
However, Gong Niuniu merely smiled contemptuously and said with a disdainful expression, "You dare to presume to make me admit defeat with just a mere Martial Soul Fusion Skill? Who gave you the illusion that you've already won? Hmph... the strong always get stronger; only the weak rely on so-called Martial Soul Fusion."
Although Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu's Martial Soul Fusion Skill is powerful, it is not insurmountable for Gong Niuniu.
The relentless onslaught of Ice and Snow Drifting, like a meat grinder, ravaged Gong Niuniu's body. Despite the onslaught of snowflakes sharper than blades, a faint smile appeared on Gong Niuniu's lips.
As soon as she had a thought, a powerful aura of fire erupted from her body, swirling around her and forming a Fire Dragon tornado.
The Fire Dragon tornado was formed by Gong Niuniu controlling her own Flame Domain. As her emotions changed, the radius of the Fire Dragon tornado continued to expand, slowly engulfing the incoming cold air and the swirling snowflakes.
Shui Bing'er was in control of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill "Ice and Snow Drifting," so she could clearly feel the resistance the snowflakes encountered when they attacked as the Fire Dragon tornado engulfed them. Moreover, the snowflakes were evaporated into water vapor in the blink of an eye.
However, at that moment, Gong Niuniu clapped her hands together with a loud crack, and the Fire Dragon tornado immediately dispersed into flame energy, spreading out and enveloping the entire arena.
In the VIP section, Ning Fengzhi jumped to his feet. "A domain, another domain! What kind of power is behind the Academy of the Gods that can cultivate so many prodigies?"
The Sword Douluo behind Ning Fengzhi suddenly spoke up, "Fengzhi, don't you think that girl looks a little familiar?"
Upon hearing what Sword Douluo said, Xue Ye, Bishop Salas, Prince Xue Xing, and the three members of the Education Committee all looked towards Ning Fengzhi, as if there was some big news.
"Uncle Jian, stop talking. That girl is more than just familiar-looking; she's clearly that bastard. I recognized her the moment she summoned her Martial Soul." Ning Fengzhi looked at Gong Niuniu on the arena with disgust, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes.
After Ning Fengzhi confirmed Gong Niuniu's identity, Sword Douluo Chen Xin also disliked her. However, looking at her Martial Soul, Sword Douluo fell into deep thought.
He then said to Ning Fengzhi, "Fengzhi, I don't know what kind of luck that bastard has had. Not only can she cultivate now, but she also seems to have undergone a complete transformation. Also, look at her Martial Soul, it seems to have evolved, and it's even emitting ten-colored light. I don't know how it evolved."
"She at least has the bloodline of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Since she can Martial Soul Evolution, perhaps we can find the secret to the evolution of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda from her. Shouldn't we think of a way to capture her and interrogate her?"
Sword Douluo Chen Xin only spoke the first part in front of everyone; the rest he said to Ning Fengzhi through telepathy.
Upon hearing Sword Douluo's telepathic message, Ning Fengzhi immediately stroked his chin, deep in thought. Although threatening the people of the Academy of the Gods would be very risky, if he could obtain the secret of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's evolution, such a risk was not unbearable. Therefore, Ning Fengzhi was tempted.
"I don't know, perhaps we can talk to her." Ning Fengzhi said this on the surface, but privately he transmitted his voice to Sword Douluo, "Uncle Jian, the matter of arresting someone needs to be carefully considered. We can't act rashly, otherwise, if we offend her, we might face the danger of our sect being destroyed."
Sword Douluo then transmitted his voice to Ning Fengzhi again, saying, "Fengzhi, this matter concerns the future of the sect's direct lineage. We cannot hesitate too much. If I can do it without anyone noticing, even if the people from the Academy of the Gods suspect something, as long as there is no evidence, we don't need to worry about them causing trouble."
Ning Fengzhi transmitted his voice again. "Uncle Jian, I think it's better to think it over more. The Academy of the Gods has its limits. It's not easy to capture someone without anyone noticing. Ordinary Soul Master simply can't do it. And it's impossible for you or Uncle Bone to do such a thing."
You Uncle Bone are the foundation of our sect. I can't possibly let you do something like this. Otherwise, if something were to happen to you, our sect would suffer a huge loss. Besides, Uncle Jian and Uncle Bone, you are both renowned experts on the continent. It wouldn't be fitting for your status to do something like this."
The old cunning man forced Ning Fengzhi to say a lot, but he didn't mean to stop Sword Douluo from doing the task. He was clearly trying to provoke Sword Douluo Sword Douluo asking him to go on his own!
As expected, right after Ning Fengzhi finished transmitting his message, Sword Douluo's message reached Ning Fengzhi's ears again. "Fengzhi, don't worry. Such an important matter naturally requires my personal attention. Even Old Ku can't go. After all, the Old Bone are too clumsy. If something goes wrong, we'll all regret it."
"Uncle Jian, don't act rashly. This matter needs to be discussed carefully, discussed carefully!" Ning Fengzhi to transmit a message, but in his heart, he couldn't wait for Sword Douluo to go.
"Alright, Fengzhi, that's enough. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should at least think about Rongrong. If we really get the secret to the evolution of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, then Rongrong's future won't be limited to level 79 anymore. So, this matter is settled." After saying this last sentence, Sword Douluo didn't say anything more.
The focus shifted back to the arena. At this moment, Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu, who were originally in a state of Martial Soul Fusion, had their strength greatly weakened after being enveloped by Gong Niuniu's domain.
Although the two were still in the state of Martial Soul Fusion, the domain weakened them to a level comparable to Soul King, thus putting them at a very evenly matched level.
Chapter 195 The Spirit of the Sun, Illuminating All Directions
Suddenly, a loud phoenix cry resounded through the sky.
Immediately afterwards, snowflakes condensed and took shape in mid-air, and a huge blue phoenix, seven meters long, appeared out of thin air.
