Douluo: The Peerless King of Beast Tamers

Chapter 187: Dio's awakening, the victory of the sun and the moon

The morning light was dim, and the soft light fell on the arena of the Soul Master Competition. After a night passed, time quietly came to the next day.

Because Xingluo National Academy chose to surrender in the one-on-one match with Shrek Academy, the competition process this morning became compact, and it directly ushered in a fierce showdown between Di'ao Academy and Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.

Amid the enthusiastic cheers and expectant gazes of the audience, a series of competition rules were introduced in an orderly manner.

Tiansha Douluo Huang Jinxu, the stern and majestic referee, once again walked steadily onto the field. Each of his steps was steady and powerful, as if he was declaring to everyone the fairness and seriousness of the competition.

The Diao Academy first sent out their captain Jiang Peng. He had an upright posture and exuded an innate heroic spirit. The Zhentian Axe in his hand was flashing with cold light, as if telling of his owner's strength and fearlessness.

On the side of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, the one facing off against him was a five-ring soul king, Micah. He had a firm gaze and steady steps. Although his soul power level was slightly lower than Jiang Peng, the soul guide on his body exuded a mysterious aura, highlighting his extraordinaryness.

The game started, Micah took the lead in attacking, the soul guide in his hand flashed, and beams of energy shot towards Jiang Peng like lightning.

However, Jiang Peng was not afraid at all. He shouted loudly and swung the Heaven-shaking Axe in his hand violently. The powerful soul power fluctuations spread out instantly, blocking all of Micah's attacks.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Peng flashed and rushed towards Micah like a tiger, chopping down fiercely with the Heaven-shaking Axe in his hand with tremendous force.

Although Micah fought hard, he still seemed powerless in the face of Jiang Peng's powerful strength.

In the end, under Jiang Peng's powerful output, Micah was unable to even use the complete skills of a soul guide and was knocked off the competition stage.

At the end of the first game, all the audience were shocked by Jiang Peng's powerful strength.

At this time, over at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, captain Ma Rulong slowly walked onto the field.

His face was stern, his eyes revealed confidence and calmness, and every step he took seemed to be stepping on everyone's hearts.

Seeing Ma Rulong appear, Jiang Peng's expression suddenly changed. He tightly grasped the Zhentian Axe with both hands, his eyes slightly narrowed, as if he was examining the opponent in front of him.

In his mind, this game is of vital importance. If he can defeat Ma Rulong, Dio Academy's chances of turning the tables will be greatly increased.

"I will definitely defeat you." Jiang Peng pointed the Zhentian Axe in his hand at Ma Rulong, his eyes full of provocation. The loud voice echoed in the arena, as if declaring his determination to the world.

Ma Rulong smiled calmly, with a hint of freedom and uninhibitedness in his smile: "Do you think you can anger me like this?"

His voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone, making people feel his inner calm and confidence.

As the two talked, they retreated to the edge of the stage. The air seemed to be filled with invisible smoke, and the tense atmosphere made everyone present hold their breath.

Jiang Peng snorted coldly, with a hint of disdain on his face: "Ma Rulong, I will let you know that you soul masters who rely on external forces will never be able to compare with us soul masters who work hard to cultivate martial soul strength and unlock their own potential. You will be defeated by my axe like that little guy just now."

His words were full of confidence in the soul master's strength and contempt for soul instructors.

Facing Jiang Peng's ridicule, Ma Rulong just shook his head and said calmly: "Micah did not show his strength. Your victory over him does not mean that the soul master is better than the soul instructor."

He paused slightly, looked at Jiang Peng firmly, and continued: "The soul guide that Micah used was not made by himself. It was originally intended to target you. His own strength was not fully utilized. Only he knows himself best. Therefore, the soul guide is still in the strongest state when he uses his own soul guide."

Ma Rulong's eyes revealed a sense of pride and pride. He was full of confidence in his soul guide manufacturing technology: "Every soul guide I use is made by myself. I will tell you what a true soul guide is."

Hearing Ma Rulong's words, Jiang Peng snorted coldly, with a hint of doubt on his face: "I don't believe you, did you make the seventh-level soul guide you use yourself?"

In fact, he had already felt a little shaken in his heart, because last night he had met a soul guide genius who had shocked him. That person's talent had given him a new understanding of the power of soul guides.

In fact, Jiang Peng was certain of it, because last night he had seen a soul guide genius who was even more extraordinary than Ma Rulong.

In other words, that person's talent in soul guides is not the strongest, because his strongest talent is his talent in martial soul.

The previous ridicule of Ma Rulong's soul mentor being inferior to soul master was based on this point.

Now Jiang Peng has developed a certain yearning for soul guides in his heart. Starting from last night, he has truly realized that even the top soul masters can be equipped with suitable soul guides to enhance their strength to a greater extent.

Therefore, he is no longer opposed to soul guides.

And the person who shocked him last night was naturally Zhou Sichen.

Facing Jiang Peng's disdain, Ma Rulong said calmly: "I don't need to lie to you. Next, I will let you feel the fear of being dominated by a soul guide!"

His voice was full of confidence and dominance, as if announcing to Jiang Peng that victory in this game belonged to him.

Jiang Peng laughed, with a hint of sarcasm on his face: "Everyone can brag. If you are really capable, then let your strength speak for itself."

His eyes revealed a stubborn and unyielding spirit. He firmly believed in his own strength and would not necessarily lose to Ma Rulong.

At this time, they had already retreated to the edge of the stage, and Huang Jinxu's cold and calm voice rang out: "The game begins."

These four simple words, like a thunderclap, instantly ignited the atmosphere of the entire stadium.

As Huang Jinxu finished speaking, Jiang Peng rushed forward instantly, unleashing the full strength of the Six-Ring Soul Emperor. The six soul rings on his body moved rhythmically, making his figure look extremely tall.

He held a gigantic Heaven-shaking Axe in his hand and rushed towards Ma Rulong like a cannonball. His powerful aura seemed to overturn the entire arena.

Ma Rulong raised his right hand and could see that there was a soul guide ring on each finger of his right hand. The first ring flashed with light, and a metal barrel with a length of one and a half meters and a diameter of ten centimeters appeared in his palm and was instantly carried on his shoulder.

At the same time, his martial soul was also released. When Ma Rulong's martial soul was released, his body changed in a very strange way. His head suddenly became much bigger, and it was obviously not in harmony with his body. Even his hair looked sparse, which made him look weird and ugly.

His martial soul is called Big-Headed Spirit Ape, which is an auxiliary beast martial soul. Like most soul masters, in order to burst out stronger combat power and be able to use soul guides to fight for a longer time, Ma Rulong's soul skills are all to assist himself in improving his soul power or enhancing the burst of soul power.

This is also one of the important reasons why he is able to use and manufacture seventh-level soul guides beyond his level.

As the two men took action, a war broke out instantly!
Both of them have the optimal soul ring configuration of two yellow, two purple and two black, but the difference is that as a soul master who practices traditionally, Jiang Peng's soul power is more solid and heavy, and the power of his martial soul is even stronger.

Although Ma Rulong's cultivation level was enhanced by drugs, most of his skills were used to assist the use of soul guides. Although he could not compare to Jiang Peng by relying solely on soul power, he possessed the blessing of a powerful soul guide that Jiang Peng did not have.

Therefore, the outcome of this battle is still unknown.

The war is about to break out, and Ma Rulong's application and matching of soul guides are definitely at the top level in the same class.

The metal barrel in his hand flashed with light, and beams of energy shot towards Jiang Peng like raindrops. Each beam contained powerful energy, as if it could penetrate everything.

Jiang Peng wielded the Heaven-shaking Axe to block Ma Rulong's attacks one by one. Every swing of his axe was accompanied by a powerful fluctuation of soul power, causing the surrounding air to vibrate.

But what no one expected was that Jiang Peng, who had just angrily accused Ma Rulong of being inferior to a soul master, was now using a soul guide when facing Ma Rulong's various soul guides.

Facing some of Ma Rulong's tricky attacks from his soul guides, an invincible shield appeared directly on Jiang Peng's body surface. The shield emitted a faint light and tightly protected his body.

He even controlled the Zhentian Axe with one hand to use his self-created soul skill, Eighteen Dragon Slashes, while with the other hand he carried a huge soul guide cannon and started bombing mode towards Ma Rulong. The energy shells fired by the soul guide cannon were like small missiles, flying towards Ma Rulong with a huge roar.

Ma Rulong, who originally thought that he could easily deal with Jiang Peng, suddenly felt some pressure and couldn't help but complain about Jiang Peng in his heart.

This bastard looks honest, but I didn't expect that he is actually a double-faced person?
He keeps saying that soul guides are not as good as traditional soul masters, but he is very decisive in his actions and uses the soul guides very well.

Fortunately, the soul guides used by Jiang Peng are either not difficult to operate or extremely simple to use, and it can be seen at first glance that they are temporary combinations.

Although this put some pressure on Ma Rulong, preventing his combo from fully exerting its effect, Ma Rulong was still not at a disadvantage.

After a battle between the two, Ma Rulong basically figured out Jiang Peng's level, and then directly took out the seventh-level soul guide - high-temperature ray radiation cannon.

As soon as this seventh-level soul guide appeared, the entire arena was shrouded in a powerful energy wave. It emitted a blazing light, like a miniature sun.

Ma Rulong aimed the high-temperature ray radiation cannon at Jiang Peng and pressed the launch button. A dazzling high-temperature ray shot out instantly, heading straight for Jiang Peng with destructive power.

The speed of this ray was so fast that Jiang Peng had no time to dodge it. He could only watch it penetrate his Heaven-shaking Axe Martial Soul, and the powerful impact knocked him out. But Jiang Peng was tenacious and courageous. Facing Ma Rulong's powerful and unavoidable high-temperature ray, he did not retreat at all and decided to fight back immediately.

In an instant, the soul guides around him shone brightly, and the strong light almost enveloped him completely.

He quickly took out a tracking soul guide shell, swung his arm vigorously, and the shell rushed towards Ma Rulong like a meteor. The sharp whistling sound cut through the air, as if announcing his unwillingness and resistance.

After stabilizing his body, Jiang Peng made a desperate move and completely abandoned defense, and the first soul ring flashed dazzlingly.

The Heaven-shaking Axe in his hand seemed to be endowed with even more powerful power under the reflection of this light.

His first soul skill is very special. It is not a simple attack or amplification soul skill like the traditional strong attack soul master, but a martial soul control skill with absolute control effect.

With the activation of the first soul skill, even though the Heaven-shaking Axe had left his palm, it still seemed like a part of his body. It moved flexibly under his control, and every swing was accompanied by an indomitable momentum.

"Eighteen Dragon Slashes!" Jiang Peng roared, his voice full of indomitable fighting spirit.

Under the powerful effect of his first soul skill, he converted all of his soul power into terrifying output without reservation, and a series of sharp axe cuts attacked Ma Rulong like a storm.

Each slash contained a powerful fluctuation of soul power. The surrounding air was torn apart, making a "hissing" sound, and deep grooves were blown out on the ground by the axe wind.

Ma Rulong's reaction was amazing. Facing Jiang Peng's fierce counterattack, he first relied on his superb control of the soul guide to predict and consume the tracking bomb thrown by Jiang Peng.

The soul guide in his hand flickered and cleverly released a burst of energy, which collided accurately with the tracking bomb, instantly causing a violent explosion, with flames splashing and smoke filling the air.

Then, he picked up the high-temperature ray radiation cannon, locked onto Jiang Peng's martial soul again, and launched continuous attacks.

Those high-temperature rays, with scorching temperature and powerful destructive power, stabbed towards Jiang Peng like sharp blades.

The two of them went back and forth like this, neither giving in.

Every attack and defense was accompanied by powerful energy fluctuations. The entire arena seemed to have turned into a huge energy vortex. The surrounding spectators were shocked by the fierce battle, and cheers and exclamations rang out one after another.

As time went by, Jiang Peng's soul power gradually ran out, and his attack rhythm began to slow down.

Ma Rulong seized this opportunity and attacked more and more powerfully and rapidly. The soul guides in his hands kept changing, and various powerful attack methods emerged one after another, making Jiang Peng overwhelmed.

In the end, the result of the match was as expected. Ma Rulong successfully defeated Jiang Peng with his deeper soul power reserves and exquisite use of soul guides.

But this victory also cost Ma Rulong a great price. He had to withstand Jiang Peng's three powerful Eighteen Dragon Slaying Cuts.

Although he was not injured thanks to the defense of the soul guide and his own strength, he consumed a lot of precious disposable soul guides.

Moreover, his soul power also dropped sharply, and now it is less than half of what it was.

Originally, with his strength, and with the help of the powerful suppression force of two seventh-level soul guides, defeating Jiang Peng should have been a piece of cake, and he wouldn't even need to use one-third of his soul power.

But now, Jiang Peng suddenly equipped himself with some basic soul guides, and adopted a crazy fighting style that completely ignored defense, which made Ma Rulong's battle process extremely difficult. Not only was the consumption huge, but he also lost several soul guides.

Looking at Jiang Peng, who was panting and with blood all over his collar, Ma Rulong felt mixed emotions for a moment. He really didn't know whether to praise him or scold him.

Praise him, this guy used to say that soul guides are not as good as soul masters, but during the competition he used a lot of basic soul guides without hesitation.

Curse him, but have to admit that this guy's tenacious resistance did bring him a big surprise. If it weren't for his strong soul guide foundation, he might have really lost the game today.

Ma Rulong stared at Jiang Peng for a long time before he slowly uttered, "You are very good, but that's all."

Jiang Peng was slowly taken away by the healing soul master. When he heard Ma Rulong's words, he just raised the corners of his mouth slightly, laughed, and did not make any response.

In Jiang Peng's heart, after this fierce battle, he had a deeper understanding and realization of the role of soul guides.

The powerful force displayed by those soul guides that he once despised in actual combat made him realize the infinite possibilities of combining soul guides with the strength of soul masters.

The gains from this battle were far more valuable to him than the outcome of a game.

After all, only Shrek can punish such a powerful Sun and Moon.

After Jiang Peng was carried away, Tiansha Douluo Huang Jinxu's cold voice sounded again: "Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy vs. Di Ao Academy, the first one-on-one battle, Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy wins, please invite the next student from Di Ao Academy to come on stage!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Jinxu's figure disappeared from everyone's sight again.

Ma Rulong stood on the field, holding a special milk bottle in his hand, trying to recover as much soul power as possible.

Because he had a vague premonition that Jiang Peng was definitely not the only one equipped with a soul guide device in the Di Ao Academy, and the next battle would probably be even more difficult.

The fact was just as Ma Rulong expected. When the second player of Di Ao Academy came on the court, he started a fierce confrontation with Ma Rulong without saying a word.

According to common sense, Ma Rulong, who possesses a seventh-level soul guide, should be able to easily crush a Soul King.

However, what no one expected was that the opponent also possessed a soul guide.

The soul guide in the soul king's hand flashed with strange light. With the strength of his own martial soul, he released various wonderful skills and started a battle with Ma Rulong.

Ma Rulong had to go all out again. He kept changing the way he used his soul guide and cleverly responded to his opponent's attacks.

After a fierce competition, although Ma Rulong won two consecutive victories with great difficulty, his soul power consumption also increased.

His face looked slightly pale, his breathing became rapid, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.

When he met the third member of the Di Ao Academy, Ma Rulong finally couldn't hold on any longer and all his soul power was consumed.

Although he was not injured due to his rich combat experience and skillful use of soul guides, he lost several disposable soul guides.

Feeling exhausted from having his soul power depleted, Ma Rulong shook his head helplessly and slowly walked off the field.

As Ma Rulong left the court, the fourth individual battle began.

The Sun-Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy sent out a Soul King, and he also had a tough battle against the students from the Dio Academy.

The students of Di'ao Academy, relying on their own strong strength and the assistance of soul guides, brought great pressure to the Soul King of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guide Academy.

The two sides fought back and forth, and the battle was extremely stalemate. After a long period of consumption, the Soul King of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy finally defeated the student of the Di Ao Academy with great difficulty.

In the subsequent matches, students from Dio Academy took to the field one after another, and each of them was equipped with a corresponding basic soul guide.

Their own personal strength is extremely strong, and with the assistance of soul guides, this puts a huge pressure on the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guide Academy.

The entire stadium seemed to have turned into a battlefield, with players from both sides trying their best to fight for honor.

Every game is full of suspense and surprises, and the audience's emotions are pushed to a climax time and time again.

When the one-on-one battle finally ended, the score finally settled at 5 to 7 between Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy and Di Ao Academy.

Although the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy won the competition and successfully advanced to the finals, this victory seemed a bit difficult.

The five players who took part in the game, including the captain Ma Rulong, all consumed a lot of energy in the game and wasted a lot of precious soul guides.

This game was like a dose of "eye drops" for the people of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, making them deeply realize that on the stage of the Soul Master Competition, no opponent should be underestimated. Even those opponents who were once despised by them may cause them huge trouble at critical moments.
