Douluo: Ant Power Breaks the Sky

Chapter 71: Battle against Blazing Fire
In the past few days, Shi Yi, who was in training, didn't know which round the competition had reached. He never worried about such things, but he also knew the news that Tang San had broken through to the Soul Sect. He estimated that when facing a strong team like the Five Elements, even if Tang San was a Soul Sect, he would probably be suppressed.

The Five Elements Academy can be said to be Tang San's nemesis. In the environment of extreme elements, even Tang San's Blue Silver Grass will be restrained by water, fire, wind and thunder, because it is still a plant after all. Even the Elephant Armor Academy, which pretends to be of earth attribute, can restrain Tang San with its strong defense.

Take Tianshui and Chihuo in the original novel for example, no matter whether it is the martial soul fusion technique or the skills released through the fusion ring amplification, an ordinary soul master cannot withstand it. Without the dual immunity to ice and fire of the immortal product, it is estimated that they will be blown to pieces when encountering Chihuo, not to mention that the current Blue Silver Grass is not as tough as in the original novel, and it takes a sharp approach.

The preliminaries continued, and just as Shi Yi expected, the next games would no longer be easy. Shrek Academy's opponent in the eleventh round would be the Blazing Academy among the Five Elements Academy.

Yu Xiaogang was holding a detailed introduction about Chihuo Academy in his hand, and his face looked obviously solemn. He had been studying the strength of the five element academies these days, and now he had just got some clues.

"You went to watch the Five Elements competition a few days ago, right? What did you find?" Yu Xiaogang asked Shi Yi softly.

Shi Yi smiled and nodded, "Well, it's a bit innovative. It's nothing more than adding some balance flow elements to the extreme flow. In fact, it can be regarded as an alternative fusion flow. In my opinion, it should be called the Four Elements Academy. These four academies obviously don't want to play with the Elephant Armor Academy. The four academies have started to try new things, and only the Elephant Armor Academy is still stupidly recruiting seven defense-type spirit masters and bragging about its own defense. I guess the performance of the Elephant Armor Academy should not be very good."

Yu Xiaogang nodded slightly and said, "Five wins and five losses. They failed very easily when they met the other four elements. It's no wonder. The Elephant Armor Sect joined the Spirit Hall, and the other four elements did not participate in the power struggle. Naturally, they are unwilling to get involved. Besides, even if the Elephant Armor Sect wants to change to this model, their students cannot meet such requirements. The academy founded by the power of the sect is just like the sect itself. It has a natural prejudice against other spirit masters."

"Hey... you are right about the second half, but it is impossible for you to say that the other four elements will not participate in the power struggle. Teacher, where is the academy of the four elements? Where are the students from? If there is a problem in Tiandou in the future, can they really hide in the academy and study martial spirits with peace of mind? You can just lie to children about this kind of thing. To put it bluntly, all the academies opened in Tiandou are the soul masters of the empire. They can ignore those trivial matters at ordinary times, but if one day..."

Shi Yi smiled and said this, but didn't say anything else.

Yu Xiaogang sighed slightly, and a figure appeared in his mind. He nodded and said, "You are right... Xiao San's martial spirit is restrained by the four elements, so you can play in today's game. You can still bring four substitutes, Zhu Qing and Mu Bai, no problem."

"I have no objection." Shi Yi chuckled.

Soon it was time to enter the stadium. The host loudly announced the list of players entering the stadium. When Shi Yi's name was heard, the entire stands burst into cheers in an instant.

The reason is simple. Just seeing Shi Yi's different soul ring is enough to shock people. There are also many people in the stands waiting for Shi Yi to appear again. His appearance this time has also ignited the enthusiasm of the audience.

The players from both sides walked into the field with their heads held high.

"Shrek Academy vs. Blazing Academy." The referee's voice rang out in the field.

Shi Yi walked in front, quietly observing the people coming. The seven students from Chihuo Academy looked about the same age, in their early twenties.

Seven people formed a triangle formation.

What surprised Shi Yi was that the person standing at the tip of the triangle formation was not Huo Wushuang, but Huo Wu, the only girl in Chihuo Academy.

Huo Wu, a very beautiful girl, the golden-red team uniform complements her perfectly, paired with her dark red long hair and well-proportioned figure. She stands at the tip of the formation, always with a confident smile on her face, and a faint red glow is faintly visible around her body.

"Generally, the strong attack system can't resist my attack, so I put the strong attack system behind me to support it. The only skill of Huo Wu that can resist me is the skill of resisting fire ring. No wonder she has to stand in the front position, so that she can better protect her teammates. The arena is not big. If I use too much force, I am afraid I will be bounced out of the field. The rest of the people will be easy to deal with. Smart girl, no wonder I haven't seen her use it in the previous games. She is waiting for me here. However, I have watched Douluo Dalu, and I know the effects of your soul skills. What's the difference between this and seeing through your underwear?" Shi Yi laughed secretly in his heart.

If Shi Yi had not watched Douluo Dalu, he would have been tricked by Huo Wu. Huo Wu's Fire Resistance Ring can ignore any skills and defenses as long as the opponent's attack skills are not more than ten levels higher than Huo Wu's own soul power. All skills within the range of the Fire Ring will be temporarily expelled.

Unless Shi Yi can unleash an attack that is ten levels higher than Huo Wu's level, which Shi Yi can indeed do, but Shi Yi understands that the Blazing Fire Team also has two fire assistants. With the enhancement of these two assistants, this upper limit will obviously become higher. If he brings Ning Rongrong with him, Shi Yi will have the confidence to break through that higher upper limit.

The referee walked to the center and said, "Both sides line up and salute."

A total of fourteen players from both sides stood in two rows and saluted each other. Shi Yi looked at Huo Wushuang with a calm gaze.

Huo Wushuang stared at Shi Yi as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood and said in a deep voice: "Today is the moment when your winning streak ends."

Shi Yi yawned and said, "Whatever, if you can do it."

Huo Wu, who was standing next to Huo Wushuang, said to Shi Yi confidently, "I'll show you what I can do in a minute."

Shi Yi's eyes fell on Huo Wu and he nodded, saying, "She is indeed very pretty, but she has a bad temper."

"What did you say! Are you calling me a vase?" Huo Wu glared at Shi Yi as if she had suffered some great humiliation.

Huo Wushuang also quickly hugged his sister, "It hasn't started yet, Xiao Wu."

"Oh, your name is also Xiao Wu. There is a missing member of our team who is also called Xiao Wu. I just said that you are pretty." Shi Yi chuckled.

"You..." Huo Wu looked at Shi Yi angrily.

Everyone in Shrek tried hard to maintain a serious expression while watching this scene.

The referee also coughed and said, "Shrek, this is a competition, please be careful with your words and don't...provoke your opponent."

Shi Yi smiled and said, "Okay, Mr. Referee."

"Everyone take your positions and release your martial spirits." The referee's voice sounded again.

The actions of the Chihuo people were not affected by Shi Yi's words at all, and they quickly formed the triangle formation.

In an instant, the center main arena lit up again, and the strong light of the soul ring filled the entire arena. The enthusiasm of the audience in the stands also reached a climax because of the appearance of Shi Yi's soul ring.

The golden phantom of the Thousand Jun Ant appeared behind Shi Yi, with four soul rings surrounding it. The invisible pressure attacked the people of Chihuo like a tide.

Shi Yi asked Zhu Zhuqing to stand beside him, and the others stood behind him to provide support.

"The game begins." Following the referee's order, the members of Chihuo moved at the same time.

Flames rose into the sky from the bodies of the seven members of Blazing Academy at almost the same moment, and the first soul rings on each of them released a dazzling light.

Sparks flew from the bodies of their two auxiliary soul masters, and countless tiny red light spots in the air quickly gathered towards those sparks. As the red light spots gathered, the sparks quickly grew larger and circled above Huo Wu's head.

The rest of the people remained motionless as if waiting for Shi Yi's attack. They had simulated facing Shi Yi in their minds countless times, but with Shi Yi's strength and speed, they simply could not take the initiative to attack.

Shi Yi looked at the other person's body filled with flames and murmured softly, "Special effects warrior, quite handsome." Zhu Zhuqing standing next to him couldn't help but roll her eyes at Shi Yi and said, "What time is it? Are you still joking? This is a competition. It must be useful if you let me stand here."

"Of course it will be useful. You go up and try it. Just take care of the auxiliary. As for those two Martian soul masters, it doesn't matter if someone stops you and you can't defeat them. Just protect yourself and harass the other side." Shi Yi chuckled.

Zhu Zhuqing's face darkened when she heard this. She didn't know why Shi Yi could find such a vulgar adjective to describe something as common as knocking out the opponent's auxiliary.

"Did you hear that clearly?" Shi Yi chuckled.

Zhu Zhuqing nodded slightly, and then heard Shi Yi continue: "Repeat it."

"Get lost." After saying that, Zhu Zhuqing's figure instantly disappeared in front of everyone.

Shi Yi smiled, and a familiar explosion sounded on the ring the next second. Upon hearing this sound, everyone in Chihuo's hair stood on end.

"Come on, no matter where you land." Huo Wu was highly concentrated, with anger flashing in her beautiful eyes. She was determined to make Shi Yi pay. She didn't care about Zhu Zhuqing because she knew that was a test from Shi Yi.

Zhu Zhuqing was very fast, even faster than Shi Yi. In just a blink of an eye, she had crossed most of the arena and arrived not far from the target soul master. As she was about to arrive, her first soul ring instantly lit up.

"The first soul skill: Netherworld Thrust!"

Not far from the Martian Soul Master, a circle of golden-red light was suddenly released from the body of the Fire Leopard Soul Master. The huge amount of energy suddenly expanded and actually knocked Zhu Zhuqing's attack back.

"You are very fast, but on this stage, we can easily sense your direction through the changes in temperature." Fire Leopard Soul Master looked at Zhu Zhuqing and said calmly.

At the same time, Shi Yi appeared in front of another Martian soul master. Huo Wu raised her lips slightly. She activated her soul skills without any warning. Her movements were also very simple, but it was her third soul ring that lit up. The dazzling purple light merged with the golden-red halo that erupted from her body. A dazzling ring of flames instantly erupted, instantly enveloping all the members of the Blazing Fire.

Huo Wu's control was extremely precise, and she launched her third soul skill with full force almost the moment Shi Yi's figure appeared.

In just a moment, Zhu Zhuqing's body was bounced away by a strong and scorching elastic force. Huo Wu was delighted to see Zhu Zhuqing flying backwards. With such a force, she would definitely be able to fly out of the field. However, when she set her eyes on Shi Yi, she saw that Shi Yi was only bounced away for a distance.

"Impossible. He must have used a lot of force to use such a fast speed. He should have been flung away like that girl." Huo Wu thought secretly in her heart.

While Huo Wu was thinking about these questions, another Martian soul master and a Fire Crane soul master were both blasted out of the arena by Shi Yi.

"Xiao Wu, stop daydreaming." Huo Wushuang said hurriedly.

"Third Soul Skill: Resist Fire Ring!" Huo Wu came back to her senses and quickly released her third soul skill again.

At this time, Shi Yi, who had just knocked the Fire Crane Soul Master away, hurriedly escaped from the range of the fire ring. He could not fight back in Huo Wu's resistance fire ring. Once he counterattacked, the powerful force would not be able to break the fire ring, and he would be bounced away instantly.

Shi Yi used the Control Crane and Capture Dragon Technique to continuously unload the force along with the power of the fire ring. He could clearly feel that due to the lack of a Martian soul master, the soul skills released in a hurry, Shi Yi could feel that the power of the resistance to the fire ring had become lower, and the range was also smaller.

"You want to use my power to defeat me, which is a good idea, Miss Huo Wu, but you have underestimated my control over my power. Unless you can catch the moment when I exert my power and release the fire ring just before I choose to unload the power, this is not something that a Soul Sect can do." Shi Yi stood not far away and looked at Huo Wu and chuckled.

This is also the magic of controlling cranes and capturing dragons. Transformation and control emphasize the use of physical strength and soul power.

Huo Wu heard this and looked at the smile on Shi Yi's face, and she became even more furious, but at this moment she calmed down: "If you can take one of my moves, we admit defeat."

As soon as Huo Wu finished speaking, a familiar explosion sounded. At such a close distance, the Fire Leopard Soul Master flew out of the field. Before Huo Wu could say anything, Shi Yi's voice came over: "I'm here to win the game, not to defeat you. If you don't admit defeat, forget it."

"You..." Huo Wu pointed at Shi Yi but didn't know what to say.

Huo Wushuang sighed slightly. Since his tactics had already failed and even been seen through by Shi Yi, there was no need to affect the state of the next game. Then Huo Wushuang slowly raised his hand and said, "Chihuo Academy, admit defeat."

"Brother!" Huo Wu glared at Huo Wushuang.

"Okay, Xiao Wu, we are not as skilled as others. It's just a game." Huo Wushuang said helplessly as he looked at his sister.

Huo Wu snorted, stamped her feet, and glared at Shi Yi, but there was nothing she could do. The levels of both parties were completely different. Even if they could launch extremely powerful attacks, how could Shi Yi give them time to prepare? He just focused on the auxiliary hammer and came out to win.

Seeing this, Shi Yi nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Miss Huo Wu, see you at the competition venue. I hope you can have new ideas next time."

"Shi Yi..." The two words "Shi Yi" were almost squeezed out from between Huo Wu's teeth. She clenched her silver teeth tightly and kept staring at Shi Yi.

"Anger is harmful to your health, Miss Huowu." Shi Yi chuckled.

After saying that, Shi Yi slowly returned to the team and went to the stage.

Huo Wu's beautiful big eyes stared at Shi Yi's back, as if she wanted to eat him. She was unwilling, really unwilling, this was the only way she could think of to defeat Shi Yi, and she even used the rules of the ring. If it was an actual fight without rules, it would be impossible to defeat Shi Yi. Shi Yi could even keep fighting with you, because you would have to spend a lot of money to resist Shi Yi's attack.

When resisting the fire ring's first hit on Shi Yi, Huo Wu even used a quarter of her soul power for safety reasons, but Shi Yi was safe and sound. In fact, from that moment on, she knew that the game was already lost.

To her, this battle was a huge blow, especially the feeling of powerlessness when facing Shi Yi. It seemed as if nothing she could do was of any use, and the opponent was still using those simple punches.

"Shrek Academy wins!" The referee also flashed over and shouted loudly.

Amid the cheers of the audience, both parties left the venue. Shi Yi led everyone off the stage slowly, looked at Zhu Zhuqing not far away, and said softly, "Are you okay?"

Zhu Zhuqing shook her head and said, "The fire ring will only send people flying, it won't cause much harm."

"I'm glad you're okay." Shi Yi chuckled. Dai Mubai opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

Zhu Zhuqing glanced at Dai Mubai and then turned away expressionlessly.
