Douluo Dragon King: My strategy system is not right

Chapter 57: The starlight during the day is still warm (long chapter)

Lin Ci clenched his right hand, and countless light particles converged from all directions, condensing into a longsword composed purely of light elements. The sword's blade shone with a golden light like the morning sun, illuminating the icy mist that blew towards him in every detail.

“Holy Light Refracted.”

The tip of the sword lightly tapped the ground, and seven diamond-shaped light mirrors instantly unfolded around the members of Class Zero. The moment Xu Xiaoyu's icy mist touched the mirrors, it was broken into tiny droplets that fell gently.

"Xie Xie, three o'clock!" Gu Yue suddenly called out. Xie Xie's figure twisted strangely in mid-air, and the Light Dragon Dagger stabbed precisely into the void somewhere in the icy fog.

With a crisp ding sound, Sun Yue was forced to reveal his true form, and half of an ice crystal was clearly stuck on his green wings.

The reason why Xie Xie could control his position so accurately was because Gu Yue's powerful mental power had already locked onto his position and then used the ice element to attack him. This made it so easy for Xie Xie to attack him.

Tang Wulin also followed suit and almost met Zhao Tiehu head-on.

A rock armor covered Zhao Tiehu's entire body. This was his second soul skill: Rock Armor!
Comprehensively improving attack power and defense power is also the soul skill that Zhao Tiehu usually uses in battle. With his reckless charge, he can gain an advantage almost at the beginning.

But this time, it was Tang Wulin who confronted him head-on.

But Zhao Tiehu still didn't take it seriously. He was just a small one-ringed kid. It wasn't worth him really using his real strength.

But this kid who he looked down upon jumped high, and his right hand was instantly covered with golden scales and turned into a dragon claw.

The dragon claws, packed with immense force, grabbed Zhao Tiehu's rock armor with the force of a mountain.

Zhao Tiehu's heart trembled. This seemingly simple claw strike made him feel a force that should not be underestimated. Subconsciously, he crossed his arms, trying to use the hardness of his rock armor to block the attack.

"Boom!" At the moment of collision, a dull loud noise erupted, and a strong airflow spread out from the two people as the center, blowing the ice mist and water droplets that had not yet dissipated around them into pieces.

A dazzling shower of sparks erupted where Tang Wulin's dragon claws met Zhao Tiehu's rock armor. Zhao Tiehu felt a powerful force surge through his arms, numbing them. His feet involuntarily slid back several meters, leaving two deep marks on the ground.

"How is this possible!" Zhao Tiehu's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief. He had never imagined that this kid with only one spirit ring could be so powerful.

Tang Wulin's attack succeeded, but he didn't stop there. Using the recoil, he flipped in mid-air and lunged at Zhao Tiehu again. At the same time, he waved his left hand, and blue silver grass emerged from the ground like a spirit snake, wrapping around Zhao Tiehu's legs.

Zhao Tiehu snorted coldly, "A mere trifle!" He stomped his feet on the ground, and solid rock rose from the ground, blocking the entwining blue silver grass. However, just as he focused his attention on the blue silver grass, Tang Wulin had already advanced, his right dragon claw raised again, aiming directly at Zhao Tiehu's vitals.

Zhao Tiehu thought to himself, "Oh no!" Hastily, he could only raise his left arm to block. Tang Wulin's dragon claws grabbed hold of his rock armored left arm, and with a "crack," the rock armor actually cracked.

"My turn!" Zhao Tiehu took advantage of a gap in Tang Wulin's attack and launched a fierce right fist. Covered with a thick layer of rock, it blasted towards Tang Wulin like a cannonball. Tang Wulin's eyes narrowed, and he deftly dodged the blow by turning his body to the side. However, the wind from the fist still stung him.

The difference in soul power was too great, a gap of nearly twenty levels. Even with Tang Wulin's thousand-jin strength, it wouldn't be so easy to shake him. Moreover, Zhao Tiehu was a soul master with both strong defense and strength.

The overall situation on the field was still too bad for Class Zero. Even though he had stabbed Sun Yue just now, he couldn't keep up with Sun Yue in terms of speed.

Moreover, the opponent also had Sun Yao's central healing throughout the entire arena. The healing ability of the Healing Lotus was still very strong.

Of course, the real reason for Class Zero's current disadvantage was the vast disparity in spirit power. This was true for both Tang Wulin and Xie Xie. In terms of combat proficiency, teamwork, and close combat skills, Class Zero was even superior to the opposing five.

This is entirely due to half a year of hard training and repeated journeys to the Spirit Ascension Platform.

Xu Xiaoyu hadn't exerted much strength yet, merely countering Gu Yue's elemental attacks from a distance. Although he was surprised by the various elements displayed by the opponent, the situation was now clear. He only needed to use his full strength to easily deal with these little ghosts.

At this time, he looked at Lin Ci, who was constantly harassed and controlled by Zhou Zhiyu, and laughed disdainfully.

They don't have much strength. He was just careless last time. This time, he will not give them a chance.

"Xu Xiaoyan, catch it." Lin Ci suddenly turned around, and a ball of light in his hand was injected directly into the defenseless girl.

The light on Xu Xiaoyan instantly covered her entire body, and then she subconsciously raised the staff in her hand.

"The stars in the sky, shining brightly, forever radiant, everlasting peace! Grant me strength, my star wheel." As she softly chanted, the tip of her ice staff suddenly lit up. Then, an inconspicuous pale golden light descended from the sky and landed on her ice staff.

This is where Lin Ci's ability comes in handy. Xu Xiaoyan relies on the power of starlight to unleash her unique ability. This ability can only be used at night because of the starlight. This doesn't mean there's no starlight during the day; the sun is an extremely bright source, and its light scatters in the atmosphere, illuminating the entire sky. This intense background light obscures the fainter light from distant stars.

Therefore, it is difficult for Xu Xiaoyan to extract starlight during the day, but Lin Ci can control the light element. Both starlight and sunlight belong to the light element, so he can extract relatively weak starlight from the sunlight during the day.

What was just injected into Xu Xiaoyan's body was the extracted pure starlight.

The top of the ice staff in Xu Xiaoyan's hand was like a lamp that was lit. A ball of golden light spread out and gradually turned into a golden halo with a hexagram inside.

Wu Zhangkong, who was closest to the competition venue, had his eyes light up. It was obvious that Xu Xiaoyan's performance had exceeded his expectations.

This situation should be a martial soul mutation...

Although Xu Xiaoyu on the opposite side didn't know why his sister could display this ability in the daytime, he was still very clear about his sister's methods.

But just as he was about to remind him, he felt his body stiffen.

When the star wheel appeared, Xu Xiaoyan's entire temperament began to change. She, who was originally weak and delicate, suddenly became tall and straight. In the starlight, she became noble and elegant, with a kind of awe-inspiring and inviolable air.

The soul ring under her feet was also filled with starlight, and a golden star lit up on her forehead, becoming her most beautiful decoration.

With a light wave of the ice staff, the magical hexagram flew out and landed directly at the feet of Xu Xiaoyu and the other four. In an instant, Xu Xiaoyu felt his whole body tighten and turn cold, and he lost the ability to move.

The stars were shining brightly, and star lines rose from under the feet of the five of them. Wherever they passed, they turned into ice chains, sealing their bodies.

Absolute control that is absolutely established!
The most powerful controller under the starry sky!

Gu Yue was the first to move. Her figure flashed, and the next moment she suddenly appeared in front of Sun Yao, the auxiliary soul master standing at the back.

A gust of wind blew past and directly knocked her off the competition stage.

At this time, under Xu Xiaoyu's shocked gaze, Lin Ci slowly moved, and soul rings emerged under his body.

This time, he did not use light to change the color of the soul ring. After all, this was the final blow, and there was no need to do so.

Even so, the three thousand-year spirit rings had already shocked the entire crowd. The cheers from the sidelines had long since died down. Even those who supported them, such as Zhou Changxi, were stunned.

Ouyang Zixin stared at the three purple Millennium Spirit Rings on the field, her beautiful eyes lost in thought. For the first time, she realized what kind of class Class Zero was, and just how powerful Lin Ci's talent truly was.

Only then did she understand why Xu Xiaoyu was like a mouse seeing a cat when facing Lin Ci during the last meal.

If you have conflicts and grudges with such a person, I'm afraid you will also feel fear.

Yu Zhen laughed out loud, his eyes full of relief. It seemed that the policy of Class Zero was completely correct.

Now he had the confidence to continue to strongly support the development of Class Zero in the school board. Originally, some people in the school board had already expressed their dissatisfaction because of the departure of Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi, two students who possessed the martial soul fusion technique.

But now, he wants to see who has any objections!
At this age, three soul rings, or three thousand-year soul rings! Even the genius of Shrek Academy is no more than this.

Three thousand-year soul rings on Lin Ci's body lit up at the same time, and then were injected into the long sword in his hand.

Golden light patterns swiftly flowed across the longsword, its radiance growing increasingly dazzling, immersing the entire arena in a sacred golden glow. Lin Ci, lightsaber in hand, advanced towards Xu Xiaoyu and the others, bound by the Starlight Ice Chains. Each step seemed to tread upon the heartbeats of the crowd.

Just as he walked to the center of the field, a six-winged golden figure seemed to emerge behind him.

The holy light shines, the sun and the moon rotate!
The lightsaber in Lin Ci's hand had transformed into a flowing golden river of light, its three purple spirit rings radiating across the blade. As the blade pointed toward the sky, three rotating halos suddenly appeared above the arena, like three solar coronas blooming simultaneously.

"Judgement!"

The light wheel crashed down, emitting a dazzling aurora the moment it touched the starlight chains. Xu Xiaoyu's ice crystal armor began to melt at a visible rate. This proud, talented senior spirit master once again revealed a look of horror before Lin Ci. His proud ice element evaporated into tiny iridescent fragments in the light.

Wu Zhangkong's eyes flashed with astonishment. This was more than just a simple control of the light element; a three-ringed soul master unleashed a complex soul technique that required extremely precise control of soul power. Even more terrifying was the fact that the triple light domains perfectly matched Xu Xiaoyan's star wheel chains, forming an elemental resonance.

"Impossible!" Zhao Tiehu's rock armor crumbled into gravel in the intense light. He attempted to summon his third soul skill, but discovered that the soul energy in his meridians was being purified by some divine power. Tang Wulin's Blue Silver Grass seized the opportunity to wrap around his ankle, its golden dragon claws gleaming coldly beneath the dragon scales.

Gu Yue suddenly appeared in mid-air, the colorful elements gathering into a vortex in her palm. The energies of wind, fire, water, and earth intertwined into an elemental storm, pressing Sun Yue, who tried to break free and escape, back to the ground.

Xie Xie, holding the Light Dragon Dagger, had already arrived in front of the control-type spirit master Zhou Zhiyu. He held the Light Dragon Dagger in front of the other's neck.

“That’s it!”

Wu Changkong's voice rang out along with the violent vibration of the protective shield.

When the light faded, everyone saw Xu Xiaoyu kneeling on one knee, his ice crystal sword piercing the ground three inches deep. The school emblem on his chest was cracked in two, and Lin Ci's lightsaber was hovering half an inch between his eyebrows.

If Wu Zhangkong hadn't intervened in time, Xu Xiaoyu would have been seriously injured.

Class Zero completely defeated their opponents, and Xu Xiaoyu and the other four had no chance of turning the tables.

The whole place was silent!

Despite the crowds of people in the arena, the silence was as if ghostly, the air seemed stagnant. No one had expected this outcome, that the five seniors would be eliminated from the entire competition in this manner.

The defeat was so disastrous that the battle didn't even last long. After Xu Xiaoyan's absolute control and Lin Ci's powerful attack, the situation became one-sided, and the five senior Soul Masters were completely eliminated with a crushing force.

But the silence only lasted for a short while, and a little fat boy from somewhere was the first to shout out. With him taking the lead, the whole venue was filled with thunderous cheers.

Yes, both the five seniors and Class Zero represent East China Academy. In previous Tianhai League competitions, East China Academy has always suffered crushing defeats. With Class Zero this time around, even if they're a bit younger, could they truly lead East China Academy to victory next time around?

Therefore, this is something that is completely worthy of the cheers and expectations of all the students of Donghai College.

Class Zero deserves such cheers.

"We..." Xu Xiaoyan suddenly staggered and fell, only to be supported by Gu Yue, who had teleported over. The girl's Star Wheel Ice Staff was covered in cracks. She looked at the young man holding a longsword not far away, a sweet smile on her lips: "I didn't know the starry sky during the day was so warm."

This was the first time her fear of Lin Ci completely disappeared. She had also figured it out: fear only comes when you're ready to be his opponent. That was when she and Xu Xiaoyu faced Lin Ci.

But now, she felt that she should no longer be afraid, because this time her identity had changed and she was already a teammate.

　Xu Xiaoyan won't be the heroine, she's just being portrayed here to help integrate her into the group as quickly as possible.
