Douluo: The Peerless King of Beast Tamers

Chapter 199: Complete Defeat of Sun and Moon
In the soul master duel arena filled with passion and enthusiasm, the atmosphere was as tense as a fully drawn bowstring, and astonishing power could burst out at any time.

Xuan Zi pondered secretly in his heart, all kinds of complicated thoughts surged like the tide, and he talked to himself, as if trying to find a trace of peace and guidance from the depths of his heart.

At this moment, a loud phoenix cry resounded through the sky without warning. The sound was clear and passionate, as if it could penetrate the clouds and reach the sky, vibrating everyone's eardrums.

Everyone's attention was instantly attracted. They saw the phoenix flame on Ma Xiaotao's body quickly wrapping around her right arm like a nimble snake. The hot breath rushed towards them, making people shudder.

In the blink of an eye, a huge fire phoenix appeared behind her, and the fiery red light enveloped her. She was like a fire god descending to the world, emitting terrifying majesty and power.

"You helped my martial spirit to sublimate. Logically, I should thank you." Ma Xiaotao's voice was cold, but it was clearly audible in the noisy arena, with an unquestionable momentum: "But this sword of judgment reminds me of my painful past."

There was a flash of pain and determination in her eyes. She held the blade of the Sword of Judgment firmly in one hand. The flame cloud pattern on her cheek, which symbolized the bloodline of the Phoenix, flickered slightly, as if echoing the surging emotions in her heart.

The Phoenix flame, which had reached its peak, was like a ignited frenzy, swirling wildly along the Sword of Judgment. The temperature of the flame was so high that the air seemed to be ignited wherever it went, making a sizzling sound.

In a flash, the horrifying flames tightly wrapped Ma Rulong's left arm.

"Ahhhh!!!"

Ma Rulong let out a shrill scream in an instant. The sound was filled with pain and despair, and echoed throughout the stadium.

In just a blink of an eye, his left arm disappeared directly in the scorching Phoenix flames, leaving only a charred mark. The air was filled with the pungent smell of burnt flesh, which was nauseating.

Ma Xiaotao gently raised her right hand, and the extremely fierce phoenix flame was like an obedient child. Under her control, it neatly rolled up the Sword of Judgment and the five storage soul guide rings on Ma Rulong's left hand, and then quickly put them into her own soul guide.

After doing all this, she looked calmly at Ma Rulong, who had fallen to the ground in pain and twitching, and said with a hint of apology in her tone: "I'm sorry, my martial spirit was stimulated and I didn't control my strength well."

"Like a dragon!!!"

Below the competition stage, seeing this scene, the leader of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, Mr. Ma, was furious. His eyes were instantly bloodshot, like an enraged beast.

The eight soul rings on his body rose up instantly, and the strong light illuminated the surrounding space. The rhythm of the soul rings seemed to be telling of his inner anger and unwillingness. He rushed directly to the competition stage in a rage, and his speed was so fast that it brought up a gust of wind.

But before Mr. Ma could get close to the glowing protective shield surrounding the arena, he was knocked back by a strong ray of starlight.

The starlight was like an indestructible shield, blocking all his attacks and at the same time giving him a powerful recoil force. Ma Lao's body was unstable and he took several steps back before he could barely stabilize himself.

Huang Jinxu had appeared in front of him without him noticing. His face was as cold as frost in winter, and his eyes revealed the majesty and coldness unique to a Titled Douluo. He looked straight at Ma Lao and said, "Non-participants are strictly prohibited from interfering with the order of the arena. If you do it again, the academy will be disqualified from participating in the competition!!"

A second ago, he was still marveling at Ma Xiaotao's amazing martial spirit. At this moment, facing someone disrupting the order of the game, he instantly regained the dignity of a Titled Douluo, and his voice was filled with an unquestionable commanding tone.

Ma Lao was furious, his face flushed red, and he shouted loudly: "Shrek Academy deliberately injured the opponent! This is a violation!!!"

His voice even became hoarse with anger and echoed in the arena.

Huang Jinxu glanced at Ma Lao calmly, with a hint of disdain in his eyes: "Whether it is a violation or not, I will decide it myself. Are you the referee and am I the referee? Back off!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the nine soul rings on Huang Jinxu's body, two yellow, two purple and five black, rose up and vibrated in unison. Powerful soul power fluctuations spread instantly, and the pressure of a Titled Douluo suddenly descended.

The pressure was like an invisible mountain, pressing the surrounding air so hard that it seemed to freeze.

Old Ma, who was originally full of indignation and frustration, was directly suppressed on the spot by this powerful soul power.

His face turned pale and blue, his eyes were bloodshot as if they were about to bleed, and his body trembled slightly under this powerful pressure, but he was unable to break free.

"Shrek! What a Shrek!" Old Ma said gritting his teeth, his voice full of resentment.

When this happened, the audience started to watch the show.

Soul skills are blind on the field, injuries are inevitable, and Ma Rulong is from the Sun and Moon Empire, which makes it even more difficult for everyone to feel sympathy for him.

A genius like Ma Rulong, if he fully grows up, will definitely become a huge threat to the original three empires, and may even become a leading figure who extends the knife to the original three empires.

Even though the older generation would not openly attack the younger generation, they were all happy to see this happen.

After all, Shrek was the one who took the blame, and the Sun-Moon Empire would only hold a grudge against Shrek.

On the competition stage, Zhou Sichen had already walked with steady steps, slowly coming in front of the Hongchen brother and sister.

The [Versatile Core] in his hand transformed into two huge white crystal hands at will, emitting a cold glow, and firmly grasped the brother and sister in their hands.

But before Zhou Sichen could make the next move, Ma Lao's deep voice, as if coming from the Netherworld, came, full of helplessness and unwillingness: "Admit defeat! The Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy admits defeat in the team battle!"

The next moment, rays of starlight appeared above the competition stage, like guardian messengers, blocking all attacks for the members of the Sun and Moon Team.

Huang Jinxu's voice also rang out at the same time: "In the finals of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition, the first team battle, Shrek Academy wins!"

His voice, amplified by his soul power, spread throughout the entire arena, announcing the end of this fierce team battle.

As Huang Jinxu's voice fell, Zhou Sichen slowly let go of the Hongchen brothers and sisters, with a faint smile on his lips, and said softly: "What a pity."

That smile seemed to imply a lingering desire for the battle, and also seemed to contain a hint of regret for the opponent.

Afterwards, without Huang Jinxu's suppression, Mr. Ma rushed onto the competition stage like a madman and came to Ma Rulong's side.

His steps staggered, his expression panicked: "Rulong! How are you?"

He held Ma Rulong in his arms, looked at the charred area on his left arm, and shouted in anger, "Where is the healing spirit master?! Hurry up and heal him!"

Soon, several healing soul masters hurriedly ran onto the stage. They looked focused and anxious, and the healing soul skills in their hands flickered and intertwined into a soft halo, and they steadily lifted up the seriously injured and unconscious Ma Rulong.

However, the left arm that had turned to ashes was like a kite with a broken string, disappearing in the wind, and it was obvious that it would never be able to recover.

Having an arm crippled is a calamity for any soul master.

If he were a traditional soul master, his strength would certainly be greatly reduced. Even though Ma Rulong, as a soul engineer, has lost his dominant left arm, he will encounter many unimaginable obstacles in the research and development and use of soul guides in the future, and his achievements will certainly be greatly affected.

After Ma Rulong was carried away, Ma Lao's eyes instantly became as cold as ice. His gaze was like a sharp blade, shooting straight at Ma Xiaotao, and his voice was low:
"Please return the Sword of Judgment. It is an eighth-level soul guide that our Sun Moon Empire Mingde Hall has put all its efforts and countless precious materials into producing. Its priceless value cannot be measured in money."

The flame moire patterns on both sides of Ma Xiaotao's cheeks flickered, like two flames about to erupt. She looked directly into Ma Lao's eyes without fear and responded firmly:
“I will return it naturally after I stabilize my martial spirit. But if this teacher wants to rob our Shrek Academy students…”

Ma Xiaotao paused deliberately before she finished her words. The second half of the sentence that she hadn't said was like a bomb hanging in the air, full of deterrence.

After hearing this, Mr. Ma's face turned pale instantly. He subconsciously shook his sleeves to hide his inner anger and helplessness.

"Hmph!" Then, he suppressed the anger in his heart and turned to look at the Hongchen siblings.

At this moment, he knew very well that Ma Xiaotao's martial spirit was in an unstable state. Coupled with the reputation of Shrek Academy, if he forcibly asked for the Sword of Judgment, even if he was a Soul Douluo, he might not be able to escape unscathed.

After all, although Shrek Academy did not see any obvious leading teacher, no one could guarantee whether there was a Titled Douluo-level strongman in the dark, silently guarding this group of extremely talented little monsters.

Old Ma looked at the Hongchen siblings. At this time, Zhou Sichen had already gently put them down.

Zhou Sichen's eyes were filled with concern and friendliness, and he said softly: "You are both strong and talented, but the power of your martial soul fusion skills still needs to be honed. In this regard, Shrek Academy has rich experience and resources and can effectively help you." Facing Zhou Sichen's kind reminder, Xiao Hongchen managed to squeeze out a smile on his bloodstained face. That smile was filled with a bit of fatigue and gratitude, and he slowly said: "I will think about it carefully."

Meng Hongchen thought of the ruthless method Ma Xiaotao had just used on Ma Rulong, and she couldn't help but feel a little scared. She raised her head, gave Zhou Sichen a sweet smile, and said softly, "You are really strong. I know you must have shown mercy just now, otherwise my brother and I might..."

She didn't continue speaking, but everyone understood the meaning of her unfinished words.

Zhou Sichen smiled slightly, and that smile was as warm as the spring sun. He said softly: "After all, we are not real enemies, right?"

Xiao Hongchen recalled the scene when he and Zhou Sichen were drinking in the underground casino two days ago. The two of them spoke freely and appreciated each other, and a touch of anticipation appeared in his heart.

Perhaps, in the future, on this road full of challenges and opportunities, where they grow and compete together, they may really become good friends.

Xiao Hongchen couldn't help coughing, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Show mercy today, Xiao Hongchen will remember it in his heart."

Zhou Sichen waved his hand when he heard that, still with a gentle smile on his face. At this time, Mr. Ma just walked over. He quickly stepped forward and carefully supported the Hongchen brother and sister.

"Xiao, Meng, are you two okay?" There was some concern and anxiety in Mr. Ma's voice.

Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen looked at each other, and then replied in unison: "He is not seriously injured, but his martial soul fusion technique was broken. We consumed too much energy, and I am afraid we will not be able to use our martial souls within a week."

Hearing this, Ma Lao felt relieved. He heaved a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. If you two were injured, I wouldn't dare to tell the hall master!"

Then Mr. Ma turned and looked at Zhou Sichen. The expression on his face suddenly became very conflicted. His brows were slightly furrowed, and his eyes flashed with complex light.

But soon, he adjusted his mood, bowed slightly to Zhou Sichen with a normal expression, and said: "No matter what, I still have to thank you for showing mercy, but your school's Ma Xiaotao deliberately injured our students and embezzled the eighth-level soul guide produced by Mingde Hall. I will investigate this matter to the end!"

"As the captain and leader of Shrek Academy, I hope your academy can give us a reasonable response to this matter."

Mr. Ma's heart was also filled with admiration for Zhou Sichen.

A soul master with only five rings of cultivation was able to single-handedly fight against the Hongchen brother and sister, a pair of powerful masters of martial soul fusion skills, and most importantly, he achieved the final victory!

Such a genius, coupled with his unique and powerful martial soul, as long as he does not encounter an accidental death on the road of future growth, he will surely become a shocking existence like Dragon God Douluo in the future.

Mr. Ma is speaking sweetly here and appears to be very polite, but no one knows what he is actually thinking in his heart.

Perhaps a bigger storm is brewing deep in his heart.

Zhou Sichen stood there quietly, his eyes clear and firm, not caring at all about what was going on in the mind of the middle-aged man in front of him.

The corner of his mouth still maintained a faint smile, which was calm and confident, as if all the disputes in the world could not disturb his inner peace.

His voice was steady and powerful, and he said word by word: "I will investigate this matter thoroughly and give you a reasonable answer in the end."

After saying this, Zhou Sichen bowed slightly and performed a standard etiquette to Mr. Ma very politely, with his movements elegant and appropriate.

Then, he straightened his back, turned around and left without hesitation. His back was upright and resolute, and his steps were steady and powerful, as if he carried an invisible aura that made people dare not underestimate him.

When Ma Xiaotao saw Zhou Sichen leaving, she slowly withdrew her martial spirit.

The blazing flames on her body seemed to be slowly restrained by an invisible hand, gradually becoming weaker until they disappeared.

The flame cloud patterns on both sides of the cheeks that symbolized the Phoenix bloodline and the Phoenix mark between the eyebrows slowly dissipated like the receding tide.

Ye Guyi fell lightly from mid-air, like a dancing butterfly, and landed steadily on the ground.

Dai Yuheng withdrew his martial soul, his eyes revealing a hint of unsatisfied desire, and followed Zhou Sichen with firm steps.

At this time, above the Shrek formation, Chen Fei was tightly bound by the dual forces of ice and poison, turning into an ice sculpture.

Ever since he was trapped by Dugu Xianmeng's Five Green Phosphorus Poisons in the Ice Prison, it was as if he had fallen into an endless abyss of darkness and no longer had the strength to fight back.

At this moment, Chen Fei was dying, his body trembling slightly, and his condition was the worst except for Ma Rulong.

If not treated in time, the combined invasion of icy power and poison may cause irreversible damage to his body or even endanger his life.

On the other hand, Lin Xi, Xiao Xiafeng and Li Yan were in a much better situation.

The only one among the three who was seriously injured was probably Li Yan.

At the last moment, Dai Yuheng used his sixth soul skill, White Tiger Destruction Kill, without reservation.

The powerful force was like a raging tsunami, instantly splitting the fire demon that Li Yan had transformed into into several pieces.

If Li Yan had not brought the characteristics of the martial soul fused with the soul guide to the extreme, and relied on that trace of special power to hold on, he might have died on the spot at this moment.

Ling Luochen and Dugu Xianmeng also silently withdrew their martial spirits.

Dugu Xianmeng curled her lips, a look of dissatisfaction showing on her face. It was obvious that she did not enjoy the game to the fullest.

She thought to herself that she still had so many powerful abilities that she had not had the chance to display yet, but the Sun and Moon Team had already completely collapsed, which made her feel very bored.

After Gong Yangmo landed, he immediately came forward.

He looked serious, but his eyes sparkled with a sly light, and he said, "Captain, although this is only the tip of the iceberg of your strength, but Gu Yi and Xiao Tao are not having a good time. Aren't you just trying to steal the limelight?"

His tone was half joking and half serious, with a hint of teasing.

Zhou Sichen was too lazy to pay attention to this attention-seeking guy. He just waved his hand lightly, showing a helpless smile on his face, and said, "Okay, the team battle is over. I will not participate in the subsequent individual battles. You can play however you want."

When Dugu Xianmeng heard this, his eyes lit up immediately, he laughed and said excitedly: "Hey, then I will be the first to go on stage."

Her face was filled with an expectant smile, and she couldn't wait to show her strength in the individual battle.

Dai Yuheng was also eager to try.

His eyes sparkled with excitement as he said, "I still have a lot of cards I haven't used yet. This individual battle is a good opportunity for me to test out my Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Sword."

He can't wait to show his skills in the next game and let everyone see his true strength.

Ye Guyi and Ma Xiaotao looked at each other, understood each other, and didn't say much.

They knew the deep meaning behind Zhou Sichen's deliberate attempt to attract everyone's attention in this game. Now that it was the finals, everyone's attention was focused here.

The purpose of Zhou Sichen doing this was just to attract more attention. Otherwise, with their strength, there would be no problem not playing.

Although the martial soul fusion skills of the Hongchen brother and sister are powerful, they only have five rings after all. In front of their absolute strength, they are nothing but dwarfs and cannot make any big waves.
