Douluo Jueshi: Picking up Firefly at the Beginning

Chapter 189 Valley Attack
The finals need to go to Wuhun City. As the Emperor of Tiandou, Emperor Xue Ye will of course not go there in person, so he sent Prince Xuexing to represent him as the envoy of the Tiandou Empire to participate in the judging of this competition.

Three days later, a total of fifteen teams, plus teachers and the escort of five hundred Royal Knights, a group of nearly a thousand people, set off for the venue of the finals, Wuhun City.

Wuhun City is a city that belongs exclusively to the Wuhun Palace and is not under the jurisdiction of any empire, just like the Shrek City on Liuxing's side, which belongs exclusively to Shrek Academy.

It takes about twenty days to travel from Tiandou City to Wuhun City. The finals are not very long because it is a knockout round. There are a total of thirty-three teams, and the winner can be decided in less than ten days.

There are no flying soul guides on this continent, so one can only take a carriage to go to Wuhun City. If there were flying soul guides, it would probably only take three days to reach Wuhun City.

The Spirit Hall attached great importance to this finals. During the promotion matches, the Spirit Hall had already specially opened up a place as the venue for the finals of this year's Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Competition.

A group of more than a thousand people set off in a mighty procession. Although the various academies were rivals, they all represented the Tiandou Empire after all. Compared with the previous preliminaries and promotion matches, the tension was much less. Especially for the academies with relatively good relations, the teams all marched together.

For example, a shameless Feng Xiaotian directly mixed into the team of Chihuo Academy, and Shui Yueer from Tianshui Academy also came over. She was very curious about Meteor.

Liuxing couldn't handle a girl like Shuiyue'er who was both a fangirl and lively, so he could only summon Liuying and hide beside Huo Wushuang and Feng Xiaotian.

Although Feng Xiaotian wanted to talk more with Huo Wu, unfortunately, the other party didn't want to pay any attention to him. He could only chat with Huo Wushuang, and now there was another person named Liuxing.

Boys have a lot more topics to talk about, such as interesting things happening in various colleges, gossip, the situation in the mainland, etc. There are as many topics as you want.

The relationship between the three colleges is very good. Everyone gets together and there is no boredom along the way, especially since there are young ladies from Tianshui College among them. The boys from both Chihuo College and Shenfeng College are as excited as if they have been injected with chicken blood.

There are only two girls in Chihuo Academy, Huowu and Liuying, and Shenfeng Academy is even more like Shaolin Temple, so the value of Tianshui Academy can be seen.

In order to allow the contestants to recuperate, the Tiandou Empire prepared a total of fifteen luxurious giant carriages for the teams from various colleges to rest.

Liuxing discovered that these carriages also used some soul guide technology, but they only had simple shock absorption functions. These soul guide technologies were inherited from the ancient times of Douluo Continent and were just some simple technologies.

Compared with the Sun and Moon Empire, it is a world away.

There is soul guide technology passed down in Douluo Continent, but it is not taken seriously by soul masters, and the research on soul guide devices is very superficial.

The journey was peaceful, the ten days passed quickly, and half of the journey to Wuhun City was already over.

A guard team like the 500 Royal Knights was very prestigious. Wherever they went, every city received them with the highest courtesy, and they did not encounter any trouble on the way.

No bandits or other blind people came to attack this team. Not to mention the 500 well-equipped and well-trained Royal Knights, the strongest force of this team is actually the teachers and contestants from various colleges.

The five hundred Royal Knights were said to be guards, but in fact they were just there to do odd jobs and keep up appearances. If anything really happened, the Soul Master Academy would have to resolve it on its own.

After these days, the relationship between Liuxing and Feng Xiaotian and others has become closer, and Liuying has also become very good with Shui Binger and others. After all, as long as girls do not have different values, it is easy for them to become best friends.

At this time, they were discussing the upcoming finals in the carriage, and were all speculating about the strength of the Spirit Hall team this time. After all, they had all heard that the current generation of the Spirit Hall was called the Golden Generation by the Pope, and they knew without thinking that it must be stronger than previous teams.

If it weren't for the addition of Meteor and Firefly to Chihuo Academy, several academies would have had no idea of ​​winning the championship at the beginning. Although they were very confident in their own strength, they were not blindly arrogant.

Suddenly, Liuxing and Liuying frowned at the same time, and they both sensed a flash of cold breath.

Meteor opened the carriage curtain and looked out the window.

Their team mostly took official roads, and only took some remote paths when they could take a shortcut, and this was the time to take a shortcut.

They were now between two low hills. It was said that passing through here could save dozens of miles of travel. Although the mountain path was a bit narrow, it was relatively flat and the carriage could pass through without any problem.

A chilling aura emanated from the mountains on either side of the path. Meteor and Firefly weren't the only ones who felt it. The captain of the Royal Knights also shouted, "Everyone, alert! Something's happening."

The members of the Royal Knights guarding the carriage immediately raised their lances.

Huo Wu and the others also noticed the change, but they didn't care and still had a relaxed look on their faces. Among their contestants, the weakest were Soul Masters, and there were also many Soul Sages among the teachers leading the team.

This formation wouldn't be intimidated even against an army of tens of thousands. What was there to be afraid of? At this moment, countless rocks rained down from the hills on both sides. Not only did these rocks appear very abruptly, but they were also very orderly, rushing down quickly.

The narrow terrain was very unfriendly to the Royal Knights. The captain of the Royal Knights quickly gave the order to speed up, and the falling rocks were left to the guarding members of the Royal Knights to deal with.

Although these members of the Royal Knights are not soul masters, they are of high quality and their physical strength has reached the limit of ordinary humans. Because the mountains on both sides are not high and the power of falling rocks is limited, the knights only need to raise their lances and use their strength to pick up the falling rocks.

With their tacit cooperation, none of the falling rocks could land on the soul master's resting horse.

From this we can also see that the Royal Knights are worthy of being the ace force of an empire. Even though the empire's technology is backward, the strength of its army cannot be underestimated.

Led by their teacher, all the students abandoned the carriage and sped up to run out of the valley. Their own speed was actually much faster than that of the carriage.

Everyone was confused. Under the protection of the Royal Knights of the Heaven Dou Empire, how could someone dare to attack their Soul Master Academy? Were they really not afraid of death?
And looking at the rockfall trap, it should have been prepared in advance, not a spur-of-the-moment idea, which means that the other party knew their identities.

Anyone who dares to launch an attack under such circumstances is either a fool or is confident that he can deal with these soul master academies.

Because of this, the teachers in charge of each college stopped some of their impulsive students from participating in the battle, and they did not dare to leave the students easily for fear of being lured away.

It was not until the Royal Knights began to tire and could no longer withstand the endless stream of stones that the soul masters from the major academies took action.

The soul masters from various academies did not panic. They released their martial spirits one after another to protect their auxiliary soul masters who had no ability to protect themselves. The soul masters who had long-range attack capabilities used their soul skills to smash the boulders falling from the sky.

Even with the help of the soul master, their retreat did not slow down.

Seeing that the road between the two hills was about to be passed, the Royal Knights behind them had also begun to retreat.

At this moment, a whistle sounded from somewhere, and thousands of men in black suddenly appeared on the hillsides on both sides, rushing down at an extremely astonishing speed.

At this time, the Royal Knights had no time to care about anything else, and only the soul masters of the academy had to take action to fight the enemy.

Various colorful dazzling lights began to appear on the soul masters, their martial spirits were released, their soul rings shone, and everyone was ready for battle.

Although there was no cooperation between the various colleges, each college had formed a small group. They were not timid, but were eager to try.

After more than ten days' journey, they were all bored to death, and now they had a chance to move their bodies, which was just what they wanted.

But things did not develop as they had imagined. Instead of them defeating the other side with ease, they were caught off guard by the other side.

These men in black cooperated well with each other, and surrounded the students of various colleges in groups of three or two. At the same time, more than 30 Soul Kings with five rings or above took action and held back the teachers leading the teams from various colleges.

Although these participating students had combat experience, this was the first time they had encountered such a large-scale melee, and they were caught off guard for a moment.

Moreover, in terms of numbers, the men in black also have the advantage.

Not all of those men in black were soul masters, but even ordinary people were well-trained and no weaker than the members of the Royal Knights.

What surprised Liuxing and Liuying was that they were not attacked by the men in black. They seemed to know that they were not easy to deal with, so they deliberately bypassed their location, resulting in Tianshui Academy and Kamikaze Academy, which were with them, not being attacked by many people.

For a moment, Liuxing and his group were the most leisurely ones. Huo Wu and the others also noticed something and slowed down their movements.

Liu Xing observed his surroundings and found that although these men in black were attacking every academy, there were more men in black attacking Shrek, and they were all soul masters.

At the same time, Liu Xing also saw Tang San's hidden weapon, the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, which was in the hands of every Shrek soldier and was killing people indiscriminately among the low-level soul masters.

At the same time, Tang San also threw out various hidden weapons and flying needles, from the most common fine iron needles, to bone-piercing needles, armor-piercing needles, and overlord needles. Flying needles of various sizes but all with amazing power kept flying out from his hands.
