Douluo Jueshi: Picking up Firefly at the Beginning

Chapter 298: The Undead Gather
As soon as Bupo Douluo announced the start of the game, players from both teams released their martial spirits at the same time, just like soldiers hearing the charge horn.

The entire arena seemed like a lit powder keg, instantly erupting with astonishing soul power fluctuations.

On the Shrek Academy side, Ning Tian took the lead. In her palm, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower slowly rotated, and the tower body burst into dazzling rays of light, like a series of gorgeous rainbows, gently enveloping her teammates.

She muttered something and continuously released several powerful auxiliary soul skills. Each soul skill accurately enhanced the different states of her teammates, greatly improving their strength in an instant.

At the same time, the six spirit rings on Tang San's body emerged one by one, and the Blue Silver Domain was instantly activated at full power.

The powerful force of the domain spread out from him, greatly improving his abilities and bringing his strength on the field to a higher level.

Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu hugged each other tightly without hesitation.

In an instant, black and white light shot up into the sky, interweaving and shining, as if to dye the entire stadium with this unique color.

A breathtaking and terrifying aura quickly spread out from them. Wrapped in the light, the figures of the two gradually disappeared, replaced by a majestic and huge Netherworld White Tiger.

This Netherworld White Tiger exuded a cold aura, and its sharp eyes seemed to be able to see through everything. It howled towards the sky, and the roar shook the stadium slightly.

Wu Feng was not to be outdone, his martial spirit instantly possessed him, the red dragon phantom roared towards the sky, and the flames gushed forward like a surging heat wave, scorching the surrounding air and distorting it.

Cao Jinxuan held the Time Flies Clock in his hand, observing the situation intently, waiting for the best time to strike.

Shrek Academy went all out from the start, and this scene made the audience on the stage excited. They sat up straight unconsciously, their eyes wide open, staring intently at the ring, for fear of missing any exciting moment.

On the other side, the four evil soul masters were equally unambiguous and released their own strange and terrifying martial spirits.

The first to launch an attack was Lu Genggeng. He suddenly exerted force with his legs and jumped forward like a cannonball.

The height he jumped was not too high, only about two meters from the ground, and the distance he jumped forward was only four or five meters.

However, a shocking thing happened. After he jumped up, his already strong body expanded at an incredible speed, like a balloon that was blown up wildly.

"Boom!" When he landed on the ground with a bang, the huge impact force made the ground tremble.

The black robe he was originally wearing could no longer withstand the pressure as his body expanded rapidly. It was completely torn apart with a "hiss", and fragments flew everywhere.

What appeared before everyone's eyes at this moment was an extremely huge, terrifying monster that made people shudder.

After releasing his martial spirit, Lu Genggeng's height exceeded five meters, and his huge body was as fat as an enormous meatball.

His thick legs looked very short against such a huge body, like two small wooden stakes supporting a small mountain.

The moment he landed, even though they were a hundred meters away, everyone from Shrek Academy could clearly feel the vibration under their feet. The entire competition arena groaned in pain under this powerful impact, as if it would collapse at any time under the weight.

"What kind of monster is this?" The audience stared at the scene in amazement, their faces filled with fear and shock.

The huge Lu Genggeng was simply a fat man that had never been seen before, and his whole body was emitting disgusting dark green soul power fluctuations.

What's strange is that the fluctuation of soul power is not as stable and orderly as that of a normal soul master, but like irregular mist, rising and rolling around his body, giving people a mysterious and dangerous feeling.

His huge head was spherical and round, with a pair of blood-red eyes embedded in it. At this moment, he was radiating ferocity, as if he was ready to devour someone.

The six soul rings on his body seemed particularly huge because of his extremely fat body, like six halos emitting evil light, surrounding him.

The most terrifying thing is that the exposed arms and shoulders of this horrible fat man look like pieces of fat of various shapes randomly gathered together. His skin appears to be mottled and patchy, which looks extremely disgusting.

He opened his bloody mouth and sticky saliva kept flowing down. When it fell on the hard steel plate on the ground, it made a "sizzling" sound and emitted puffs of pungent smoke, which showed how toxic his saliva was.

After releasing his terrifyingly fat body, the fat man shook his huge body and rushed towards Shrek Academy at a seemingly slow but actually extremely fast speed.

Every step he took left a deep footprint on the ground, as if demonstrating to everyone in Shrek Academy.

When Lu Genggeng transformed into that terrifying appearance and appeared in front of everyone, everyone in the audience couldn't help but be stunned, their eyes full of astonishment and confusion.

The same question popped up in everyone's mind: What kind of martial spirit is this? Such a strange and terrifying image is truly unheard of.

Meteor looked at the huge and ugly figure, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch. He really couldn't help but complain. Isn't this the undead creature that often appears in traditional Western fantasy game novels - the abomination?

I didn't expect that there would be someone in Douluo Continent who possessed such a disgusting martial spirit. I have to say that Douluo Continent is really full of all kinds of weird and unimaginable martial spirits. It can be said that there is really nothing strange.

Not only Liu Xing had such a reaction, Huo Yuhao also recognized Lu Genggeng's martial soul at a glance.

He inherited the legacy of the Holy Necromancer Ilex and possessed an undead demiplane of his own.

In that gloomy demiplane, there exist creepy undead creatures called abominations.

To others, hatred may be strange and mysterious, but Huo Yuhao is very familiar with it.

Among all the undead creatures, abominations are also high-ranking. Huo Yuhao was well aware of the dangers of this spirit, and without delay, he immediately used his ability to share his spiritual senses, clearly and accurately transmitting the information he had learned to Tang San and the others on the competition stage.

"Abomination, this is an extremely terrifying undead creature. They feed on corpses to enhance their abilities. Once injured in battle, they can quickly recover by devouring corpses. Judging from its characteristics, this martial spirit possesses many abilities, including speed, control, and strong attack. It can be said that it is an all-round powerful evil martial spirit. You must be extremely careful. Also, the dark green aura it emits is probably poisonous. Do not come into contact with it lightly."

Huo Yuhao's voice rang out in the minds of Tang San and the others, filled with solemnity and worry.

Next to Lu Genggeng, who released the hateful martial spirit, Tang Dai also strode forward.

Compared to Lu Genggeng's extremely impactful jumping transformation, Tang Dai does not have such a strong ability of instant transformation, but the degree of his body change is no less than Lu Genggeng.

Every time he took a step forward, his body grew bigger and bigger like a giant that was gradually inflated.

Although the process of change was not as rapid and intense as Lu Genggeng's, it also revealed a strange and weird feeling.

As he kept walking, the outline of his body continued to expand in the air, as if there was an invisible force driving his body to continue growing.

When Tang Dai finally walked up to Lu Genggeng, everyone was surprised to find that his huge body had undergone earth-shaking changes.

At this moment, he was actually half a meter taller than Lu Genggeng, who was over five meters tall. However, unlike Lu Genggeng, who was as fat as a meatball, Tang Dai's body eventually turned into a huge skeleton composed of dark golden bones.

The dark golden skeleton exuded a cold luster, and sparkled with a strange light under the light.

The two guys' completely different yet equally astonishing physical changes were so bizarre and strange that they were beyond the comprehension of most people present.

The audience on the stage were completely shocked by this scene, and exclamations of surprise continued one after another.

On the rostrum, Xu Tianran frowned. He suddenly felt a little regretful. It was indeed a mistake to let the Holy Spirit Sect appear in this competition.

Their existence was too extraordinary for both ordinary people and soul masters. At this moment, most of the ministers of the Sun-Moon Empire who were also on the rostrum showed shocked expressions, and the disgust in their eyes could not be concealed.

It is the instinct of the living to resist undead creatures, and they are naturally no exception.

Qian Renxue's reaction was particularly strong. She bit her lower lip tightly, frowned tightly, and an uncontrollable feeling of nausea surged from her body to her heart.

Qian Renxue possesses an extremely sacred angel spirit, which symbolizes light, purity and justice. From the day it was born, it has been incompatible with all dark and evil forces.

The undead creature that appeared before her, with its disgusting form and the eerie and evil aura it exuded, formed a sharp and distinct contrast with everything she represented.

For Qian Renxue, this natural opposition is not just at the visual and sensory level.

Deep in her soul, there seemed to be an instinctive resistance. When she saw these undead creatures, the disgust in her heart surged like a surging tide.

At this moment, looking at Lu Genggeng's fat and terrifying hateful martial spirit and Tang Dai's huge skeleton composed of dark golden bones on the stage, she felt her stomach churning, and waves of nausea kept hitting her nerves, making her almost unbearable.

She suppressed the discomfort, her hands unconsciously clenching the hem of her skirt, her knuckles turning white from the effort. Besides disgust, her eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Xu Tianran watched all the performances of everyone in the stadium without any expression. He sat there quietly, looking calm on the surface, but with a lot of thoughts in his heart.

Xu Tianran sighed inwardly. After weighing the pros and cons in his mind for a long time, Xu Tianran had made a decision. As for this game, if the Holy Spirit Sect ultimately lost, then so be it. He would not interfere too much.

But if they win, then in the next match, he will arrange for the Holy Spirit Sect to face off against the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.

Moreover, he has decided that no matter what the situation is at that time, the Holy Spirit Sect must be forced to admit defeat and make way for the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy to advance smoothly.

Xu Tianran naturally had his own considerations for doing this. Although the power of the evil soul masters could be used by him to a certain extent, their overly ostentatious style of behavior and terrifying evil power could easily cause panic and disgust among the people.

In order to consolidate their ruling position in the country and maintain social stability and superficial peace, it is better for these evil soul masters to hide in the dark as much as possible.

After all, overt rule requires an open and aboveboard display of strength, not this evil element filled with fear and anxiety.

Only by letting the evil soul master keep a low profile can he better maintain the foundation of his rule and ensure that his power is not shaken.

Thinking of this, Xu Tianran narrowed his eyes slightly, and a barely perceptible ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

Huo Yuhao's eyes were fixed on the changes in Tang Dai on the field. With his keen sense, he instantly determined the details of the huge skeleton made up of dark golden bones in front of him.

Almost at the same time when Tang Dai completed his transformation, Huo Yuhao did not hesitate to share the key information through mental detection and quickly passed it to Tang San and others.

"Attention, that's the Skeleton King. This spirit possesses extremely formidable physical and energy defenses, a fortress of steel. It excels at physical attacks and is very capable in close combat. However, it also has a significant weakness: it lacks the ability to launch long-range attacks. Everyone must be careful!"

Huo Yuhao's voice rang clearly in the minds of Tang San and the others.

Liuxing also sighed. Why did the Holy Spirit Sect feel like a gathering of undead? Apart from Tang Ya and Jili at the beginning, Wang Xiaolei's martial soul felt like a lich. With the addition of the skeleton and abomination now, there were already three undead martial souls.
