Douluo: Twin Origins, Suppressing the World

Chapter 161 Steaming begins!
Now that things had come to this, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm knew that she had no choice but to take action today.

He can only pray that Shrek Academy will send someone to counter Xue Di, otherwise the end of this match might mean the end of his god-making plan.

Golden light replaced the original color in Huo Yuhao's eyes.

Some powerful figures noticed the sudden change in Huo Yuhao's aura.

Xu Jiawei frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled by the changes in Huo Yuhao.

"What methods did this Shrek student use? Could it be some kind of secret technique of Shrek Academy?"

Xu Jiawei murmured softly.

He had never heard of a secret technique that could bring such a great improvement to a person.

In fact, Shrek Academy was also very confused, as they had never known that Huo Yuhao had such methods.

Only Ling Shuang knew exactly what was going on with Huo Yuhao's change.

Did you hire someone to play for you again?

However, Ling Shuang felt no tension whatsoever, nor did she reveal Huo Yuhao's thoughts.

Although this method might violate the rules in the competition, it doesn't matter. He doesn't need to report it; everything can proceed as usual.

The use of Tianmeng Bingcan as a substitute player might cause trouble for other players, but it has no impact on Ling Shuang.

When Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Huo Yuhao and others tried to trap Bingdi and forcibly transform her into a second martial soul, most of the power that Tianmeng Ice Silkworm stored in Huo Yuhao's body had already been consumed.

If Electrolux hadn't used his divine power, at the cost of weakening his divine sense and falling into a deep sleep, they might have already died under the Snow Emperor's sword.

The power that Tianmeng Ice Silkworm can currently wield is extremely limited; at most, it can only unleash the combat power of a Soul Saint.

This might indeed be enough to crush most of the contestants in this competition, but Ling Shuang is not among them.

"Game start!"

As soon as the referee's voice fell, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm launched the first attack.

Ling Shuang put a lot of pressure on it, and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was not sure if it could definitely deal with him.

Therefore, to be on the safe side, it chose to strike first.

A flash of brilliant golden light passed through Huo Yuhao's eyes.

Mental impact is one of the few combat methods used by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

As a soul beast that has been lying around for millions of years, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's combat ability is extremely weak, even weaker than some ten-thousand-year soul beasts. Its spiritual power is one of its few bright spots.

A smug smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was very confident in its move.

However, the next moment, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's expression suddenly changed, and a mouthful of blood spurted from its mouth.

"How...how is this possible?!" It covered its head, its brows furrowed, looking incredulous.

The moment its mental attack touched Ling Shuang, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm felt as if its mental power had vanished into thin air, causing no ripples whatsoever.

It was even harmed by the ensuing backlash.

It's important to understand that the mental attack that Tianmeng Ice Silkworm used wasn't Huo Yuhao's own mental power, but rather the little power it had left.

Even a Soul Saint, unless they are skilled in mental power, would suffer a great loss from this strike.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm couldn't understand how Ling Shuang, a Soul King, could remain unaffected and even suffer a backlash!
Opposite him, Ling Shuang was still sitting in the folding chair, her left hand supporting her face, her expression calm and unaffected, not even her breathing fluctuated.

It was as if nothing had happened at all.

Not all the spectators were powerful Soul Masters; many of them had low or no cultivation levels, so they did not notice the invisible clash between Ling Shuang and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.

All they saw was "Huo Yuhao" standing opposite Ling Shuang, doing nothing, and then spitting out a mouthful of blood.

So they were completely bewildered at that moment.

"What's going on? Is this a fixed match?" "Isn't Shrek Academy the number one academy on the continent? Is it really that fragile? After getting completely crushed, they simply stopped fighting and started putting on a show?"

A barrage of questions immediately arose.

To the people who couldn't see the clash of spiritual power between Ling Shuang and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, Huo Yuhao's "inexplicable" vomiting of blood was just an act to avoid physical pain after his mentality was broken.

Although some people saw through the deception and explained that things were not as they seemed, the number of people with low cultivation levels far exceeded those with high cultivation levels, so this claim was not effectively contained.

After all, seeing is believing is a deeply ingrained idea in many people's minds.

They only believe what they see, even if it's not the whole story.

Even if others explain a lot to them, they won't believe it; instead, they'll think it's a deliberate cover-up.

This is why many rumors simply cannot be controlled.

Everyone thinks they are very smart, so they are more confident in themselves, but that is often not the case.

Back on stage.

Having failed and suffered a backlash, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was already realizing the gravity of the situation.

Having gained no advantage in terms of mental strength, it had little hope of defeating Ling Shuang.

At this moment, Ling Shuang also made a move.

He propped his face up with one hand, and slightly raised the other, with the Twin Staffs of Creation and Annihilation hovering in front of him.

The emerald green light shimmered like rays.

In the four directions of "Huo Yuhao", emerald-like barriers stood prominently, trapping him inside like a cage.

Tianmeng Bingcan felt a chill run down her spine.

He was all too familiar with this scene; he had seen the same scene twice in Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea!
One instance was when Ling Shuang faced the Golden Flame Lion King during the initial upgrade assessment, and the other was when they divided the battlefield during the selection assessment.

If it's the former, that's fine.

But judging from the current situation, Ling Shuang's goal is clearly not the latter.

There were only two people on the field at the start, so there was no need to divide the battlefield.

That means...

A chill ran through Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's body as he recalled the tragic state of the Golden Flame Lion King that day!

As if to verify his conjecture, a wisp of dark purple flame appeared in the space surrounded by the barrier.

Then came two strands, then three strands...

The flames of the abyss instantly filled the entire space, like a carpet of fire covering the entire floor.

Neither Huo Yuhao nor Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had the ability to fly; they could only passively use their power to isolate themselves from the erosion of the Abyss Flame.

The audience looked at each other, completely bewildered.

Their view was blocked, and they couldn't see what was happening inside the barrier at all.

What is going on?
They couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

I bought a ticket to watch the game, but now I can't even watch the content.

However, the Soul Master Competition has never stipulated that battle scenes must be shown to the audience.

After doing all this, Ling Shuang took out a timer soul tool, adjusted the time, and placed it on the ground in front of her amidst many surprised gazes.

Many viewers couldn't help but wonder:

What is this doing?
Ling Shuang stated:

Steaming begins!
