Douluo Jueshi: Picking up Firefly at the Beginning

Chapter 242: Firefly

Although both he and Liuying's sixth soul skill is called Fire Flame Sword, when Liuying uses it, he prefers to call it Milk Fragrance Sword.

In fact, the soul skill of Xinyan Sword Drawing is not limited to drawing the sword from the chest. The reason why Liuying did this was entirely to satisfy Liuxing's personal hobby. At Liuxing's strong request, she agreed to use this method to draw the sword.

After a long while, the flames gradually dissipated, and Liuying was seen still holding the flaming sword, standing quietly in the same place. The flames behind her slowly went out, and she looked unharmed.

Not far away, Feng Shen was half-kneeling on the ground, his body trembling slightly. His clothes were tattered and burnt in many places by the flames, revealing his charred skin. Blood kept flowing from the corners of his mouth and dripping onto the ground.

There was fear in his eyes. He had just brushed past death. If Liuying had not shown mercy and lowered the temperature of the flame, he would have been reduced to ashes in the flames.

The kind where not even ashes will be left.

The bald referee quickly flew to the ring and surrounded Feng Shen, carefully examining his injuries. After a moment, the referee raised his hand and announced loudly, "Feng Shen has lost his ability to fight. In this match, Liuying from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy wins!"

Thunderous applause and cheers suddenly rang out on the stage, and the supporters of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy shouted excitedly.

Liuying raised her head slightly, with a faint smile on her face, and waved to the audience on the stage.

Feng Shen's defeat and Liuying's dominance made the remaining members of the Dragon Slaying Sect look solemn and under tremendous pressure. At the same time, they also complained about their bad luck as they had to face the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy in the first match.

If we were to be eliminated in the first round of the competition, we would be laughed at by other familiar sects.

They no longer dared to underestimate the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. The value of the previous championship was no joke.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the Dragon Slayer Sect sent out its second contestant, and the bald referee announced once again, "The competition begins."

As soon as the referee finished speaking, the third and fifth soul rings on the young man from the Dragon Slayer Sect shone, his muscles swelled a little, a pair of metallic horns appeared on his head, and his body turned into lightning and rushed towards Liuying.

Liuying did not use the hundred thousand year soul skill of Xinyan Sword Drawing. After all, the hundred thousand year soul skill consumes a lot of energy, and it is not necessary to deal with a Soul King. At the beginning, it was just to establish his prestige and show the power of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.

The twin emerald green swords that had been upgraded to eighth-level soul guides appeared in his hands. The sword bodies were wrapped in red flames, emitting powerful soul power fluctuations.

Facing the lightning-fast attack from the Dragon Slayer Clan youth, she maintained a calm gaze, tapped the ground with both feet, and floated back, easily avoiding the opponent's first round of attacks.

The young man from the Dragon Slayer Sect missed his attack, but he didn't stop at all.

The soul power in his body became more and more turbulent, and the fourth soul ring kept flashing. A dark green soul power halo surrounded his body. This halo was as hard as substance, like a layer of armor.

Then, he used this force to pounce towards the firefly again, a few points faster than before.

Liuying danced with the two swords in her hands, drawing graceful arcs. When the young man from the Dragon Slayer Sect approached, she shook her wrists, crossed her swords, and accurately blocked the young man's attacking fist.

Two crisp "clang clang" sounds were heard, and the sound of metal collision echoed across the field.

Liuying exerted a little force with her arms, and two sword lights flashed. The dark green armor on the young man from the Dragon Slaying Sect shattered, and the shadow of his martial soul behind him was also shattered by the sword energy. His whole body stiffened and he collapsed directly on the ring.

As Liuying won, the audience cheered again, one wave higher than the other, almost shaking the entire stadium.

Liuying represents not only the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, but also the Sun-Moon Empire. In this Mingdu, what she lacks the least is fanatical fans.

Two consecutive victories, both easy wins, brought the audience's emotions to a climax.

The contestants sent by the Dragon Slayer Sect were all defeated by Liuying one by one, and were easily defeated by her two swords. No one could even force out her hundred thousand year soul skills, nor could they force her martial spirit to possess them.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Liuying hadn't even used one tenth of her strength, and the match with the Dragon Slayer Sect was at best just a warm-up.

The Dragon Slaying Sect had originally hoped to consume Liuying's soul power through a series of battles, but they were too weak. Liuying didn't use many soul skills throughout the entire battle, and only relied on her physical fitness and swordsmanship to resolve the battle. The idea of ​​consuming her soul power was a joke from beginning to end.

As Liuying successfully ended the battle with a single victory over seven opponents, the faces of the people from the Dragon Slaying Sect became extremely gloomy. Not only did they get eliminated in the first round of the competition, but their entire team was also defeated by a beautiful girl who looked soft and tender. The leader of the Dragon Slaying Sect didn't know how to go back and explain to the sect master and the many elders.

When Liuying successfully defeated seven opponents at once and ended the battle, the audience was completely excited.

The entire arena was engulfed in a frenzy of noise, with all sorts of reactions intertwined, pushing the atmosphere to an unprecedented climax. The audience was so excited that they jumped out of their seats, waving everything they could get their hands on—hats, towels, and the props they had prepared for cheering—and shouting Liuying's name at the top of their lungs.

Some people even blushed and shouted until their voices became hoarse, but they still couldn't stop, as if only in this way could they vent the excitement in their hearts that was like a volcanic eruption.

Even the Regent Xu Tianran who was sitting on the rostrum couldn't help but smile. The Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy represented the face of the Sun Moon Empire. The better and more shocking their performance was, the more face he would have as the Regent.

Especially in front of the National Master and his ally, the Pope of the Spirit Hall, he was in a good mood.

Juzi also noticed that Xu Tianran was in a good mood, and whispered his congratulations, "Your Highness, the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Instructor Academy's outstanding performance today will surely make all forces in the Sun Moon Empire take notice. Having such a talent as Junior Sister Liuying is truly a blessing for the academy, and even more so for the empire. If the academy can continue its strong performance in this Soul Master Competition and win the championship again, your prestige will surely rise to a new level."

Xu Tianran nodded slightly, his eyes full of pride, and said softly, "Well, if the academy can win the championship again in this competition, it will be of great benefit to the development of the empire. After the competition, you should arrange to reward all members of the academy team and let other spirit masters know that as long as they serve the empire, they will be rewarded handsomely."

Orange replied respectfully, "Yes, Your Highness, I will make the proper arrangements. I believe that after this battle, the morale of the academy will be greatly boosted, and subsequent competitions will surely achieve even greater success, adding glory to the empire."

At this time, Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall, who was sitting beside them, turned her head slightly and said to Xu Tianran with a smile: "Your Highness, the Regent, the Sun Moon Royal Spirit Instructor Academy is indeed well-deserved of its reputation. I think it should not be difficult to win the championship again."

Xu Tianran quickly and humbly responded, "Your Holiness, you are too kind. The competition has just begun. This competition is full of hidden talents. No one knows who will be the champion until the end."

Although he said so, any discerning person could see that Xu Tianran was just being modest, and he obviously agreed with what Bibi Dong said.

In the individual elimination round, Liuying defeated seven opponents alone. According to the rules of the competition, there was no need to fight the next team battle. The Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy directly obtained twelve points and advanced to the next round.

After watching this game, all the participating teams had solemn expressions on their faces. It was obvious that Liuying's overwhelming dominance in the game put them under great pressure.

Many teams whose strength was not as good as that of the Dragon Slaying Sect had even uglier expressions on their faces, and they prayed secretly in their hearts that they would never encounter a strong team like the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.

In the Tang Sect team, Huo Yuhao and the others also had serious expressions on their faces. Although they had grown rapidly in the past five years, the same was true for their old rivals from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. Their growth rate was not inferior to theirs, and was sometimes even faster.

The Sun-Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy five years ago was already difficult enough to deal with. Now, the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy five years later is even more difficult to deal with. Liuying broke through to the Soul Emperor and obtained two hundred thousand year soul rings. So Liuxing, as the team leader, probably has the same soul ring configuration as Liuying.

"Yuhao, if we run into the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, who will deal with her?"

Xu Sanshi's face was solemn. With the strength displayed by Liuying, no one in their Tang Sect could be sure of winning, not even Huo Yuhao, not to mention that Huo Yuhao's cultivation was a level lower.

Everyone in the Tang Sect fell silent. They had originally thought that they had a chance to redeem themselves in this tournament, but after seeing Liuying's spirit ring configuration and strength, their confidence was no longer as strong as it had been at the beginning.

"No matter what, we won't know until we fight. Just give it our all."

Beibei, the captain of the Tang Sect team, said in a deep voice.

The competition is still in full swing. There are 168 teams and 84 games to play. Even if it is a knockout round, it will take at least three days to finish.

The following matches were very exciting, because it was a knockout round, and every team gave their all. No one wanted to be eliminated in the first round like the Dragon Slayer Sect, so the matches were very intense, which made the audience very excited.

As time went by, the winning teams advanced one after another. Liuxing and his team did not miss any game. After all, there were many sect teams participating in the competition, and they were all unfamiliar with each other. No one knew if there were any dark horses among them.

At least Liuxing saw several teams with good strength, and some of the teams he was paying attention to also advanced successfully.

Tang San of the Shrek team did not appear. Only Dai Huabin and Wu Feng defeated the opponent, and the Shrek team successfully advanced.
The Tang Sect team sent out Huo Yuhao in the first game, as if they were going to compete with the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. Huo Yuhao showed the dominance of the ultimate ice and also ended the game with a single victory over seven opponents, which made many people pay attention to this little-known Tang Sect team.

Some people even recognized the seven members of the Tang Sect team as the reserve team members of the Shrek team that participated in the previous competition.

When it was the turn of the Nevernight Palace, Wang Qiuer was also the first to appear on the field. She defeated her opponents with a record of one against seven and led the Nevernight Palace to advance, which sparked heated discussions among the Mingdu audience.

Dilongmen also defeated the opponent without any danger and advanced to the next round.

In addition to the teams he was paying attention to, Liuxing also paid special attention to a team called the Snow Demon Sect, which obviously did not use its full strength.
