Douluo Dalu: The Frozen Throne

Chapter 224: Sword of Judgment, Love in the World of Mortals, Master of Mingde Hall

Snowflakes were falling one after another, and the cold air could be vaguely seen surging on the competition stage made of special rocks and metals.

Shu Yan raised his eyes and looked at the seven people opposite him. His gaze stayed on the Hong Chen brothers and sisters for a moment, and then he spoke softly:

"You only have one chance to attack, so go all out. Since Jiujiu and I are already here, it's not impossible for us to stay a little longer."

Xu Jiujiu had a smile on her lips, but her eyes were full of casual contempt. With her identity and position, there was really no need for her to be nice to the Sun-Moon Empire's team. After all, anyone with a brain could see what the relationship between the two countries was like.

After the words fell, the faces of the seven people from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy darkened again, but all they could do at this time was to release their martial spirits and many soul guides. They had already experienced the terrifying strength of Shu Yan, and this attack was their only chance. For this reason, even if they were despised and bullied, they would definitely go all out.

The first to take action was Ma Rulong, the captain of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. He had defeated the captain of the Di Ao Academy in the previous match, and his strength was unquestionable.

At this time, he had a golden giant sword with nine core formations in his hand. This giant sword was the Sword of Judgment, an eighth-level soul guide weapon from Mingde Hall. This Sword of Judgment was the undisputed pinnacle of the eighth-level soul guide weapons! The combination of the power of light and darkness made its true power extremely terrifying.

Of course, the price Ma Rulong had to pay for forcibly using the Sword of Judgment with the cultivation level of a sixth-level soul guide was extremely high. Behind him, the seventh-level soul guide's chapter of sacrifice was madly draining his vitality and potential. In order to defeat Shu Yan and the others, he was willing to pay the price of seriously damaging his own foundation.

Except for the Hongchen brothers and sisters, the other four people have also taken out their most powerful trump cards. Various soul powers are surging, and the metallic luster is shining under the ice and snow. The terrifying power even affects the soul guide barrier that the 108 soul masters are trying their best to maintain.

On the city wall, Duke Dai Hao of White Tiger had a shocked expression, but upon closer inspection one could detect a hint of gloom.

"Your Majesty, with the combined power of the Sun and Moon Team, I'm afraid even ordinary Soul Douluo would find it difficult to resist. This..."

Xu Jiawei just glanced at him lightly, then raised a slight arc at the corner of his mouth and said calmly:
"Just watch, my dear brother. A Yan is the greatest genius in the continent in ten thousand years. His skills are so powerful that even a mere Soul Douluo, let alone a Titled Douluo, would be intimidated by him. As for this so-called Sun and Moon Team, they are far from being to be feared."

"Yes."

Dai Hao responded softly, with a hint of surprise on his handsome face, but then it disappeared without a trace.

He hadn't even heard a hint of such a genius before. Considering what Dai Yuheng had said before, Dai Hao's mood became even gloomier, and there seemed to be a hint of ruthlessness flowing between his brows.

When the other members of the Sun and Moon Team were gathering their strength, Xiao Hongchen opened his arms, looked up at the snowy sky, and his expression returned to his cynical state.

"Sister, come on, let's show them what the strongest martial soul fusion technique is. With our strength, we will definitely be able to wash away the shame..."

Meng Hongchen was in a trance for a moment, then slowly nodded.

The brother and sister both have five soul rings with the best ratio. As they hug each other, a beam of light mixed with gold and ice blue rises into the sky.

The beam of light condensed in mid-air and then turned into a giant toad. But what was particularly strange was that when all the light slowly gathered on the toad, its original color also changed.

The golden color of the three-legged golden toad and the icy blue color of the red ice toad have completely disappeared, and what remains is only a scarlet red color that emits a metallic luster.

The scarlet luster made this five-meter-tall toad look extremely gorgeous, and its huge eyes were as dark and deep as the abyss. Just one glance seemed to swallow a person's soul into it...

The next moment, the giant toad opened its huge mouth, and a huge red-gold vortex could be vaguely seen spinning wildly inside it. The terrifying energy turned into strong waves and spread in all directions, as if it would explode at any time.

The martial soul fusion technique released by the two Soul Kings together, especially when the two Soul Kings themselves are extremely powerful, the martial souls of both sides are highly compatible, and both are giving it their all, the power of this attack is no less than the full-strength attack of a Soul Sage-level powerhouse.

The fusion of multiple contradictory attributes, the madness of metal, coupled with the poison of Zhu Qing Ice Toad, and the fusion of ice and fire, the power of this attack has truly reached its peak.

As Ma Rulong swung the Sword of Judgment in his hand, the black sword tip pointed directly at Shu Yan and the other two.

"He is darkness and condemns heretics!"

As Ma Rulong roared, a black light rushed towards the two at an extremely fast speed, followed by a death-like charge holding the Sword of Judgment with a white sword edge.

Behind Ma Rulong, countless soul-guided shells, rays and various soul-guided devices that could be used flew out, with attributes of light, darkness, thunder, wind, fire and so on entwined, and at the end, there was a red-gold torrent, which was the Hongchen brothers and sisters' martial soul fusion skill, Hongchen Attachment.

Looking at the black light coming at a very fast speed, Xu Jiujiu took a slight step forward. A ray of starlight flashed by, and the surroundings seemed to turn into a vast starry sky in an instant.

The black light disappeared without a trace in an instant. Looking at Ma Rulong who was rushing towards him with the Sword of Judgment in his hand, Xu Jiujiu's eyes flashed with stars. The next moment, there seemed to be a bewitching red light flashing, followed by a burst of bright starlight.

The fourth soul skill of Starry Sky Martial Soul, Starry Sky Feast, has an extremely simple effect. It isolates and eliminates all attacks on the spiritual level and absorbs and strengthens them to counterattack the opponent. At the moment Xu Jiujiu took action, Shu Yan also took action.

The luster of the eight soul rings, three black, three red, one ice blue and one orange gold, instantly overshadowed the bright starlight and the mixture of various soul powers. Before anyone could be shocked, a stream of ice blue cold current spread out in all directions like a flood. In just a moment, all attacks after Ma Rulong's were strangely stopped in place.

As the first crisp cracking sound was heard, the scarlet soul guide aurora turned into ice chips and fell, followed by the sound of falling like raindrops. Wherever the cold current passed, even space and time seemed to be frozen. A hint of fear flashed in the eyes of the Tiansha Douluo hiding nearby, and then disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Are you kidding? The horror of this cold wave is far beyond what a Level 92 Titled Douluo like him can withstand. Save people? He should save himself first. As for the guilt he will be judged for not saving the contestants later, the biggest crime he will face is not as serious as losing his life now!
Just when the cold current was about to envelop the six people, a golden-red light suddenly descended from the sky, followed by a silver light. The gold and silver colors turned into a huge barrier, dispersing the cold current that seemed to have no power at all.

Shu Yan was not surprised. He smiled and waved his hand. The cold current that was about to drift towards the audience seats suddenly turned into snowflakes and flew up in the wind, causing no more harm. Speaking of which, he had not used soul skills for several years. What he had just used was the first soul skill of the Ice and Snow Girl, Breath of Praying for Snow. In essence, this soul skill should be considered an amplification soul skill, but later, the soul ring age was fully advanced, and the original amplification soul skill had some other uses.

As for why he didn't use other soul skills, the reason was very simple. With Jing Hongchen's strength, he might not be able to block it.

This is not because he looked down on Jing Hongchen, but mainly because of his assessment of his own strength. Jing Hongchen's combat power may be good due to the increase in soul guides, but his ice has reached the extreme of the extreme. This can no longer be measured simply by combat power. Ice that can freeze time, space, and soul is no joke...

On the other side, with the arrival of the backlash force, the Sword of Judgment in Ma Rulong's hand was knocked away, and blood and flesh flew everywhere. Xu Jiujiu took the Sword of Judgment that flew backwards, and then put it directly into the soul guide.

At this point, all members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy team were seriously injured and unconscious, and the result of this competition was already clear!
Whether it is the Shrek Academy that has maintained its glory for ten thousand years, or the rising Sun-Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, they all eventually became the background board of history. Everyone knows that this is no longer a simple fighting spirit competition, but more like a stage for the Star Luo Empire to display its blade force.

In this era, no one can catch up with them, and the future of the spirit master world is bound to undergo great changes because of their existence...

……

On the competition stage, Shu Yan looked at the figure that appeared out of nowhere, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.

The head of Mingde Hall, Jing Hongchen, looks to be only about 40 years old. He is not tall, and can even be said to be extremely short and fat. His whole body is a typical "square" creature.

Well, especially his long brown-red hair, which covered his neck completely. His overall appearance looked a bit greasy, but his eyes gave people a sense of majesty and terror.

The two rays of light, one gold and one silver, were essentially two ninth-level defensive soul guides. Mingde Hall was the dream paradise for all soul guides on the continent. Although Jing Hongchen, the hall master, only had the cultivation base of ninth-level, he was able to contend with Xuan Zi and Du Bushi with the help of various soul guides. If they could really pull away from each other by more than ten thousand meters, he might actually be able to kill Xuan Zi or Du Bushi.

Shu Yan could sense how terrifying the several soul guides on him were. In the original novel, some of the soul guides on Jing Hongchen's body could make Moon En, who was in the Poseidon Pavilion, feel extremely threatened. Now, Shu Yan also had this feeling.

Jing Hongchen cannot kill him, but if he wants to fight to the death, the damage he can cause will definitely be no less than two or three level nine soul guide shells bombing Xingluo City, and this is difficult to stop, because most of his real trump cards have been prepared the moment he entered Xingluo City. Thinking of this, Shu Yan's mouth curled up into a smile. He whispered a few words in Xu Jiujiu's ear. Xu Jiujiu was stunned for a moment, and then a smile broke out on his face.

She turned around gracefully, bowed to the audience, and then quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor, not knowing what she was going to do.

The moment his eyes met Jing Hongchen's, Shu Yan saw the bright astonishment and surprise in his eyes. Looking at the members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy lying on the ground, Tiansha Douluo appeared to announce the results of the competition. Shu Yan sent a message to Jing Hongchen, then turned around and left the competition stage, no longer paying attention to the countless balloons and petals flying in Xingluo Square, nor the deafening cheers and celebrations...

Jing Hongchen took a deep breath and made sure that Xiao Hongchen and his sister were fine except for being seriously injured. He glanced at them and the two teachers in charge trembled all over and then quickly came to him.

"Put them in a safe place and use the best medicine. Don't be stingy, especially for Xiao and Meng. This hall master still has things to do and will meet up with you later."

Mr. Ma and another ninth-level soul instructor, Mr. Shen, quickly nodded in agreement, their expressions of respect and awe were unimaginable.

Jing Hongchen snorted coldly, then turned around and disappeared in an instant, leaving only the two of them looking at each other, their eyes full of relief.

……

On the attic of the palace wall.

Shu Yan looked at the steaming tea in front of him, raised his eyes, and then said:
"Since you are here, please take a seat. The royal family will not disturb us, and neither will anyone else."

Jing Hongchen's short and fat body appeared out of nowhere, and then he sat down with a smile. He seemed casual, but the fear in the depths of his eyes could not be hidden.

"The original Douluo Three Kingdoms is really a place of crouching tigers, hidden dragons, young man, what should I call you?"

Shu Yan poured a cup of tea for Jing Hongchen, and then said softly:
"Shu Yan."

"So it's you, Mr. Shu. You can have such a strong power before the age of 20. How come you graduated from Shrek Academy?"

Jing Hongchen was still smiling, as if the incident of Shu Yan injuring his two grandchildren just now had never happened.

Come to think of it, this was indeed Shu Yan holding back, otherwise if he had used any other soul skill, there would probably be only seven corpses left on the field.

Shu Yan took a sip of the fragrant tea, then chuckled and said:

"Senior, you're overthinking. I'm from the Xingluo Empire, my ancestral home is Douling, and I have nothing to do with Shrek Academy."

Jing Hongchen rolled his eyes, but did not drink the tea on the table. He just asked again:
"My friend sent me a message to come here, I'm afraid it's not just to drink this cup of tea..."

"But speaking of which, I do have something to discuss with your country's royal family. My friend is of an extraordinary status, so I think it is enough to tell you."

Shu Yan gently shook the tea in the cup. Both of them had smiles on their faces, but the atmosphere was far from harmonious. It could even be said that there was a sense of... stalemate...
