Douluo Jueshi: Picking up Firefly at the Beginning

The battle began swiftly. In an instant, crimson flames roared to life, and Liu Ying had already unleashed her martial spirit, donning a silver-white mecha suit.

The members of the Molten Knights' eyes lit up when they saw the incredibly cool mecha, their gazes filled with envy and longing.

After all, this is the prototype of the Soul Guidance Mech! The thought of being able to wear such a cool and stylish mech soon filled them with an overwhelming excitement.

They completely disregarded the powerful figures on the platform, cheering and shouting with unrestrained joy. The deafening shouts rose and fell like surging waves, one after another, as they cheered for Liu Ying with all their might.

Amidst the enthusiastic cheers, the loudest shouts came from Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wu, and others, who successfully joined the Molten Knights.

Given their strength and age, they already met the criteria for joining the group. With Meteor's behind-the-scenes maneuvering, it wouldn't have been difficult to arrange for them to join the Molten Knights.

"Blue Silver Overlord Spear!" Tang Ya ignored the clamor and shouts from below the stage and suddenly let out a delicate shout.

In an instant, a blue light shot into the sky, and a spear formed from the concentrated energy of Blue Silver Grass appeared in her hand.

The gun emitted a cold blue light, exuding an evil aura, as if it contained endless power.

Immediately afterwards, her figure shot out like lightning, turning into a blurry blue afterimage, and rushed towards the firefly with such speed that no one had time to react.

Fireflies were not afraid at all; their emerald green flames, like graceful wings, burned fiercely on their backs, radiating intense heat.

Two emerald longswords, radiating dazzling light, instantly appeared in her hands. Flames surged on the blades, like two roaring fire serpents, spitting out scorching flames.

With a powerful swing of her hands, two fiery slashes, imbued with destructive power, pierced the air like two dazzling arcs of light, heading straight for Tang Ya's Blue Silver Overlord Spear.

"Clang!"

The spears and swords clashed violently, unleashing a deafening roar that seemed to shake the entire military camp.

A storm of crimson and dark blue soul power spread wildly outwards from the point of collision like a raging tsunami.

Both sides were powerful Soul Saints, and this initial tentative clash was already extremely intense, displaying astonishingly powerful strength.

The scorching sword light, like a sharp blade, struck the hard arena heavily, instantly leaving a deep sword mark, with metal fragments flying everywhere.

Tang Ya was struck as if by lightning, and uncontrollably retreated several steps. Her hand holding the Blue Silver Overlord Spear trembled slightly. The dark blue spear, which was originally incredibly hard and exuded an eerie aura, showed signs of softening and deformation under the scorching heat of the flames. The tip of the spear even bent slightly, as if it could not bear the weight.

Upon seeing this, Zhongli Wu's originally calm face instantly darkened, his brows furrowed tightly, and his complexion became increasingly grim, so dark it seemed as if water could drip from it.

He placed great expectations on Tang Ya, regarding her as one of the important pillars for the future of the Holy Spirit Church.

But now, the Blue Silver Saintess, on whom he had placed high hopes, was so easily at a complete disadvantage in a contest with an opponent of the same level. How could this not make him feel frustrated, depressed, and furious? You must know that due to the special nature of their martial souls, evil soul masters are inherently more powerful than ordinary soul masters and often possess greater combat strength.

Moreover, as a saintess among evil soul masters, Tang Ya's strength is outstanding among evil soul masters of the same level.

Otherwise, how could she have secured the position of Holy Maiden in the Holy Spirit Cult, a sect of evil spirit masters that practices the law of the jungle and brutal competition?

Tang Ya's current high status in the sect is not only due to her enormous potential and extraordinary talent, but also to her formidable strength.

Otherwise, how could those arrogant, self-important, and ambitious young evil spirit masters willingly submit to Tang Ya? Take Zhong Liwu's disciple, the powerful bone dragon evil spirit master Yan Feng, for example; he is a perfect case.

Scorpion Tiger Douluo Zhang Peng's face also turned extremely ugly at this moment, turning blue and purple in turn, as if a palette of colors had been overturned.

He glanced subconsciously at Ma Xiaotao, who had a hot figure and outstanding temperament, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

As the Venerable Douluo who has always been responsible for Tang Ya's personal protection, he knows Tang Ya's strength and potential very well.

Although he had long known that the two young men and women from the Nevernight Palace possessed extraordinary strength and had shone brightly in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition, overcoming all obstacles and emerging victorious with their outstanding abilities.

If it weren't for that sudden and unexpected accident at the end, which forced the competition to be terminated midway, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy they led would have undoubtedly won the championship.

Even though he was mentally prepared, seeing his own Holy Maiden being so forcefully suppressed on stage was still hard for Scorpion Tiger Douluo to accept. He felt a mix of emotions, including worry for Tang Ya and amazement at Liu Ying's strength.

On the high platform, Xu Tianran unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a satisfied smile.

He knew that Meteor and Firefly wouldn't let him down. In fact, even if Meteor and Firefly were to lose in the competition, he had already secretly prepared a backup plan to ensure that the Holy Spirit Cult would not easily gain control of the Molten Knights.

However, if Meteor and Firefly could win, it would save him the trouble of using those hidden methods, which would save him a lot of trouble.

Xu Tianran trusted Meteor and Firefly quite a bit. The two of them practically grew up in the city of Mingdu and received education and training from the Sun Moon Empire from a young age.

They graduated together from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, making them truly outstanding individuals.

Moreover, they were childhood sweethearts and close friends with their younger sister, Xu Tianzhen, and their relationship was as intimate as that of siblings.

Based on all these factors, Xu Tianran was quite reassured to entrust the Molten Knights to them, believing that they could lead this force to achieve great feats for the empire.

Moreover, Kong Deming, the Silver Moon Douluo, also thought highly of Meteor and Firefly. If the two hadn't chosen the path of Soul Masters, Kong Deming would have personally taken them as his disciples.

Of course, Meteor and Firefly were adopted by Kong Deming's disciples, Luanyu and Luanfeng. Even if he hadn't formally accepted them as disciples, this relationship would have made no difference. (End of Chapter)
