Peerless Douluo: Blood of the Black King Nidhogg!

Chapter 116 The Grand Finale, Word of Power: The Chosen One (4K)

With the Shrek team focusing all their attention on the strongest Sun and Moon team, the Star Luo team became less important to them, merely a slightly obstructive obstacle on their path to the championship.

Therefore, in the individual competition on the second day, Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng fought and defeated the three Soul Kings sent by the Xingluo team, Dark Demon Tiger, Lightning Falcon and Netherworld Mad Lion, in just over ten minutes, taking the lead over Sun and Moon and advancing to the finals.

As for the Sun and Moon team, there were no surprises. They even finished the match in a shorter time than Shrek Academy, demonstrating to everyone with their exceptional individual strength that soul tools are still powerful even in individual battles.

With both the Sun & Moon team and Shrek having successfully defeated their opponents and advanced, the tournament has reached its final moment.

On the day before the final, a large influx of people suddenly flooded into Xingluo City, causing the once-prestigious and massive capital city to experience a rare traffic jam.

In response, Emperor Xu Jiawei of Xingluo immediately ordered 10,000 soldiers to enter the city to maintain order and mobilized supplies from nearby cities to meet the material needs of the city's inhabitants.

At the same time, he expanded Xingluo Square once again, increasing the seating capacity from nearly 100,000 spectators to a staggering 150,000.

Even so, tickets to the finals were still extremely difficult to obtain; even a thousand gold soul coins couldn't snatch a ticket from a scalper.

Such a grand occasion naturally made business owners from all walks of life in Xingluo City very happy. Even though there were only so many people in the last few days, they were still able to make a fortune.

On the day of the final, the sky was overcast and the air was heavy with a somber atmosphere, as if a torrential downpour would fall at any moment.

Even in this kind of weather, the enthusiasm of the people of Xingluo City could not be dampened.

Escorted by well-equipped soldiers along the way, the two highly anticipated teams, Shrek Academy and Sun & Moon Team, stepped onto the competition venue amidst enthusiastic cheers from the crowds lining the red carpet that led from the Star Emperor Hotel to Star Luo Square.

As they passed through the dark corridor and entered Xingluo Square, the deafening cheers of 150,000 spectators crashed over them like a tsunami. Such a grand occasion made even the inner disciples, including Ma Xiaotao, feel a little nervous.

To the average viewer, today's match is just a simple final, but to those in power, it's far more complex than that.

This is not only a battle between the younger generation of the three original empires of Douluo Continent and the Sun Moon Empire, but also a contest of soul tools and martial souls.

Upon entering Xingluo Square, Shrek Academy and the Sun and Moon Team took their seats in their respective rest areas. The two teams faced each other across the wide arena, and the atmosphere of battle subtly permeated their gazes.

"Just follow the plan from now on. Don't put too much pressure on yourselves. You just need to believe that as long as we don't make any mistakes, the championship will definitely be ours!" Wang Yan encouraged everyone.

Although Wang Yan spoke as if he were full of confidence in the match, he was actually not sure what to expect. After the team members seemed to relax, Wang Yan looked at Mo Yuan.

Looking at this calm and composed young genius, who was also their biggest trump card, Wang Yan's tension eased slightly. He firmly believed that as long as Mo Yuan took action, all problems could be solved.

Soon all the preparations for the competition were completed. With the soldiers and all the people of Xingluo kneeling and paying their respects, Emperor Xu Jiawei of Xingluo, along with the Empress, Xu Jiujiu, and civil and military officials, came to the high platform, showing the utmost importance attached to this competition.

And next to Xu Jiawei appeared a slightly unfamiliar figure, a man wearing golden armor, who looked to be in his thirties, with long golden hair, wearing armor, and with a strong physique.

Duke of the White Tiger, Dai Hao.

Mo Yuan glanced at Xu Jiawei and Dai Hao with interest, a meaningful smile slowly spreading across his face. It has to be said, the politics of Douluo Continent can be quite interesting sometimes.

The descendants of the previous emperor coexist with the current emperor, and the former even wields considerable military power. If it weren't for the extraordinary power within the Douluo Continent, Xu Jiawei's actions would truly be no different from those of a ruler of a fallen kingdom.

After Xu Jiawei's speech, which seemed to say a lot but actually said nothing, the finals of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament officially began.

The referee in charge of overseeing the entire situation was still Huang Jinxu, the Heavenly Fiend Douluo. He came to the high sky, amplified his voice with his soul power, and said in a stiff tone.

"Team members from both sides, enter the arena; the match is about to begin."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Yuan and seven others—Ma Xiaotao, Ling Luochen, Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, Ning Tian, ​​and Jiang Nannan—stood up in the Shrek Academy rest area and walked calmly toward the competition venue.

The team that the Sun and Moon team sent to participate in the team battle included the Hongchen siblings, including Ma Rulong, except for two regular players who were replaced by substitutes.

It seems that the Sun and Moon team also understands that winning the first team fight is the best solution.

The two teams quickly entered the arena and stopped on either side of Huang Jinxu. Apart from Mo Yuan and Meng Hongchen, whose eyes were different, all the other team members were filled with fierce fighting spirit even before the fight started.

"Both sides step back and fall off the field. The one I save is automatically eliminated."

After exchanging glances, the two teams retreated to opposite sides, during which their formations subtly shifted.

The Sun and Moon team used a classic triangle formation, with captain Ma Rulong at the very front, while the Shrek team, except for Ning Tian who was protected behind him, had everyone else lined up in a straight line with Mo Yuan at the center.

With their almost entirely offensive lineup, it's clear that Shrek Academy is prepared to force a victory through sheer force.

"Huh? What is Mo Yuan doing? Why is he suddenly wearing gloves?" Xiao Hongchen, whose eyes hadn't left Mo Yuan, suddenly noticed that Mo Yuan had inexplicably taken out a pair of black gloves and put them on.

“I don’t know, but we must keep Mo Yuan’s every move in mind. We should focus on him in the future. According to the plan, Xiao, you will fight him up close,” Ma Rulong said.

Xiao Hongchen nodded confidently and said, "Don't worry, leave it to me."

Just as the two were talking, Huang Jinxu, the Heavenly Fiend Douluo, saw that both sides were ready and suddenly let out a loud shout.

"Game start!"

At the command, both teams sprang into action.

Everyone at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy underwent drastic changes, transforming into something resembling a hedgehog, with metal cannon barrels extending out of thin air.

Countless orbs of light, condensed from soul power, were released through these cannons, shooting towards Shrek Academy at an astonishing speed, like a peacock spreading its tail.

Because of their incredible speed, the orbs of light made a whooshing sound as they passed through the air, and they even seemed to be converging as they moved forward, preparing to combine into one to bombard the Shrek Seven.

Although the Soul Masters of the Sun Moon Empire rely mainly on drugs to improve their cultivation, and their actual combat strength is lower than that of traditional Soul Masters, they don't care about that at all. They only need to ensure that they have enough Soul Power to activate their Soul Guidance Devices.

Under the combined bombardment of six level-five soul masters and one level-six soul master, its power was even greater than that of a regular one-soul emperor and six-soul king.

Moreover, they don't expect to defeat Shrek Academy in one wave of attacks. As long as they can slow down Shrek Academy and prevent them from getting close, their chances of winning will increase significantly through continuous attrition.

Faced with the overwhelming barrage of light that rained down on them like a storm of swords, Shrek Academy immediately reacted.

They first released their spirit rings and spirit possession, then Mo Yuan and Ling Luochen beside him exchanged a glance, and then reached out and clasped hands together.

With their hands intertwined, the ultimate ice surged into Ling Luochen's body. With the enhancement of the ultimate attribute, she and Mo Yuan then released their soul skills simultaneously.

A sudden burst of bone-chilling cold erupted, and thick ice spikes rose from the ground, instantly forming a massive ice wall several meters thick and over ten meters high in front of the Shrek group.

The countless orbs of light crashed down on the ice wall with deafening roars. Spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the ice surface, and the ice wall trembled violently. Even so, the ice wall remained steadfast and did not break.

The Sun and Moon Team's first wave of attacks was thus blocked. Behind the ice wall, Mo Yuan released Ling Luochen's hand, then turned around and exchanged glances with the rest of the team.

Seeing the determination in their eyes, Mo Yuan no longer hesitated. The dark golden light in his golden eyes shone even brighter as he silently chanted a string of dragon script.

"In the name of the King, you are given new life and are to be his servants."

For knives, for spears, for swords, for halberds!

Word of Power: The Royal Chosen Servant!

This is the self-created soul skill that Mo Yuan mentioned, which can greatly amplify strength: Word of Power - Royal Chosen Servant.

In ancient times, this power of words was used by the dragon race to strengthen their armies and followers, greatly enhancing the strength of the recipient, but it would also reduce their rationality to some extent, making them extremely aggressive.

The invisible dragon pattern spread through the air, quickly enveloping all the team members except Ning Tian. The next second...

The five people, led by Ma Xiaotao, felt their blood flow increase several times over, their physical skills greatly improved, and they felt as if they had inexhaustible power. Their fighting spirit burned even more fiercely, and they wished they could fight the Sun and Moon Team for a whole day.

"Haha! You've come at the right time!"

Ma Xiaotao laughed loudly, feeling the seemingly inexhaustible power within her body. Without the slightest hesitation, she unleashed her full power, and with the help of the phoenix flames, she shattered the crumbling ice wall and flew into the sky.

The scorching flames dyed most of the arena crimson, and the six spirit rings—yellow, purple, black, and yellow—shined brilliantly beneath their feet.

A high-pitched phoenix cry resounded through the sky as Ma Xiaotao unleashed her strongest soul skill, Phoenix Meteor Shower.

Fireballs nearly five meters in diameter appeared behind her and slammed down on Ma Rulong below. The terrifying heat caused the surrounding void to distort slightly as they passed through.

The terrifying scene, resembling a falling meteorite, left the members of the Sun and Moon Team momentarily stunned. They knew Ma Xiaotao was powerful, but surely not this powerful?
This is hardly a Soul Emperor anymore; anyone who doesn't know better would probably think she's a Soul Saint!
"I'll handle this! You continue the attack!"

Although he didn't know why the Shrek Seven Devils' auras had suddenly surged so much, Ma Rulong still calmly issued the orders.

He then stepped forward to meet the attack, his six spirit rings pulsating in unison. As a traditional spirit master, his spirit skills were all auxiliary and amplifying types used to enhance spirit power.

With the infusion of massive soul power, all the densely packed soul tools on his body erupted with astonishing light, and the attack form changed from the previous light clusters to beams of light connected together.

More than a dozen level-six soul-guided cannons roared in unison, each beam accurately striking the falling phoenix fireballs, continuing their momentum until they eliminated as many fireballs as possible.

"Boom! Boom! Boom——"

A series of deafening explosions rang out in the sky, and terrifying energy shocks raged wildly in the space above the arena, with scorching hot air waves sweeping in all directions.

The aftershocks from the two Soul Emperors' full-force attacks slammed into the protective shield, creating distinct ripples that seemed poised to crumble at any moment.

Upon seeing this, hundreds of Soul Kings immediately arrived around the arena and injected their Soul Power into the protective shield, which finally stabilized the swaying shield.

On the other side, neither the Sun Moon Team nor Shrek Academy stood idly by. The Soul Guidance Cannons continued to fire continuously. With the blessing of the Chosen One and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, Ling Luochen, and Jiang Nannan perfectly blocked the attacks and launched a counterattack to some extent.

Mo Yuan straightened his black gloves and then patted Xu Sanshi on the shoulder.

"Come."

Upon hearing this, Xu Sanshi exclaimed excitedly, "Brother Mo, you can finally unleash your full power! Haha! I can't even imagine how exciting the Sun and Moon Team's performance will be later!"

After saying that, Xu Sanshi's fourth spirit ring lit up.

"Xuanming replacement!"

After an invisible ripple in space, Mo Yuan disappeared from his spot, replaced by a member of the Sun and Moon Team who was in the middle of the team.

He looked around in a daze, and when he saw Bei Bei and Jiang Nannan attacking him, he finally understood what was going on. He gave a wry smile and immediately activated his martial spirit to fight them.

On the other side, in the Sun and Moon team, the moment that person disappeared, Xiao Hongchen and the others reacted. Three of the regular members took a few steps back and continued to bombard the Shrek team.

Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen stayed behind to deal with the arrival of Mo Yuan.

The team was well-prepared for Xu Sanshi's Xuanming Replacement Sun and Moon Team, since forced position swapping is a very sinister soul skill no matter how you look at it.

So they were on guard from the beginning, but unfortunately, Ma Xiaotao's sudden outburst threw them into disarray and they didn't react in time, which gave Xu Sanshi an opportunity to take advantage of them.

But that's alright, Meng Hongchen had already prepared for this.

"Mo Yuan! I knew you would use this tactic! But unfortunately, we were prepared!"

As he spoke, Xiao Hongchen threw a round iron block at the feet of Mo Yuan, who had just appeared. The iron block began to spin and extend rapidly after landing.

In the blink of an eye, the iron block transformed into a massive steel cube, three meters in length, width, and height, its surface gleaming with a cold, icy light.

Inside, however, it's a completely different story. All six sides of the cube, including the floor, are extremely smooth mirrors.

This is a soul tool specially designed for Mo Yuan by the Sun and Moon Team. It serves two purposes: first, to limit Mo Yuan's ultimate ice, and second, to restrict his fourth soul skill.

In Xiao Hongchen's eyes, Mo Yuan's fourth soul skill required someone to look directly at the blinding light to be affected, but he could perfectly limit it by simply blocking it with a mirror.

It can be said that Xiao Hongchen has done his best with limited information.

Mo Yuan reached out and felt the hardness of the mirror, discovering that it was even harder than the level seven absolute defense soul tool from a few days ago, and even comparable to a typical level eight soul tool shield.

If it were someone else, they probably could only stay inside obediently and wait for the team to be defeated.

Unfortunately, it was Mo Yuan who was trapped, and he was no longer hiding his true strength, able to fully display his physical power.

Mo Yuan smiled in the mirror, then slowly stretched his body. Accompanied by a crackling sound of bones rubbing together, the dragon bones inside his body formed a perfect suit of armor.

Within his golden eyes, crimson blood seemed to flow, and the dragon blood within his body continued to boil, while ancient and profound dragon patterns silently bloomed.

"I awaken the ancient metal, and the undying starry sky descends as armor, while time crumbles on the dragon bone emblem!"

"By blood and bone, we pledge our indestructible bodies!"
