Douluo: Twin Origins, Suppressing the World

However, the competition clearly wouldn't change because of their emotions.

With the schedule approaching, the competition was officially announced to have begun.

The heart of Mingdu, the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guidance Plaza.

Today, it has become the most dazzling stage in the world of Soul Masters.

Unlike the ancient and magnificent Xingluo City, everything here is imprinted with the coldness of metal and the ultimate brilliance of soul-guided technology.

The towering Soul Guidance Lighthouse cuts the night sky into bizarre geometric blocks.

A colossal circular soul-guided screen floated around the plaza, projecting images of every corner in real time.

The air was thick with the almost tangible frenzy of hundreds of thousands of spectators.

The Sun and Moon Emperors, as attendees, announced the start of the competition.

"Next team enters, Shrek Academy."

The host's voice rang out through the Soul Guidance Amplification Matrix that spanned the entire venue.

His voice carried a subtle, almost imperceptible tone characteristic of the host.

Instantly, a deafening roar erupted.

But within this wave of sound, sharp, piercing whistles and hisses were strangely intertwined, forming a complex and surging torrent.

Shrek! Go back inside!

"Sun Moon Royal Academy will win!"

"..."

At the entrance to the passage, the eerie green light appeared under the spotlight of countless flashing soul-guiding lamps and the giant screen.

Captain Beibei walked at the front. The pride of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Soul Master made him maintain his composure even though he had given up hope for this competition.

He still wore a gentle smile, but his eyes didn't show much fighting spirit.

The Shrek team members behind him wore solemn expressions.

Already living under the shadow of the three Soul Saints, they felt even more pressured by those mocking voices.

They finally experienced the discomfort of playing away from home.

"Next, let's welcome the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team!" The host's voice was noticeably more excited.

“Buzz——!!!”

A deep, resounding roar, as if from the resonance of a furnace deep within the Earth's core, instantly drowned out all the noise.

The sound did not originate from the soul-guided loudspeaker, but rather from the sky above the square.

It carries an unparalleled sense of pure power belonging to top-tier soul guide creations, like an invisible giant hammer, smashing down on all the noise!
The entire square fell silent, and countless gazes turned upwards in shock.

Above the plaza, a massive, breathtakingly dark silver floating platform was slowly descending.

It was not supported by the power of a Soul Master, but by dozens of giant Soul Guidance Propulsion Devices with complex structures at the bottom and edges, spewing out streams of dark blue particle light.

The platform surface has a liquid metal-like sheen.

The emblem of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy shimmered as if alive under the lights.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, it hovered above the center of the square, casting a huge shadow that enveloped the Shrek team.

At the edge of the platform, a figure stands, like a cold metal sculpture.

The leader was Ling Shuang, who resembled Jiang Lin.

He was wearing the silver-white uniform of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, its cut as sharp and cold as a knife.

His face was handsome but devoid of warmth, his thin lips pressed into a straight line.

His eyes were deep and dark, like black holes that swallowed all light.

At this moment, it is high above, penetrating the distance and noise, and accurately locking onto the Shrek camp below.

An invisible, soul-piercing aura of deathly stillness was silently spreading from Beibei at its core.

He really didn't die. No wonder he's the protagonist of the original story; he's incredibly resilient...

Ling Shuang looked at Huo Yuhao in the Shrek Academy team and thought to herself.

The moment the platform hovered, Ling Shuang, Tang Ya, and Gu Yuena all took a step forward simultaneously.

There were no dazzling lights and shadows of rising spirit rings, no deafening roars of energy.

Only three cold, condensed soul power pressures, as calm as the Styx River covered by ten thousand years of mysterious ice, suddenly merged and erupted! And at the core of this pressure was Ling Shuang.

"boom--!"

An invisible shockwave of death, like a cold wind from the depths of hell, instantly swept across the entire Soul Guidance Technology Plaza!

The clamorous sound was as if it had been cut in half by an invisible scythe, and instantly fell silent!
Immediately following were countless gasps of cold air and the clattering of teeth.

In the audience seats closer to the platform, those with weaker cultivation levels instantly turned ashen-faced, their eyes filled with despair and disorientation, their bodies trembling violently as if the flame of life was being drawn away.

The space, which was originally filled with the restlessness of soul-guided energy and the heat of the crowd, did not suddenly drop in temperature, but instead gave people a chilling and despairing feeling of being in a huge graveyard.

As Jiang Lin, you naturally have to bring out the full potential of the Jiang Lin character!
On the podium, the leaders and referees from various countries displayed a variety of expressions.

Dean Jing Hongchen sat upright, a slight smile playing on his lips.

He tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest, extremely satisfied with the strength Ling Shuang had displayed.

Qian Duoduo, who represented Shrek Academy, had a glint in her eyes and a furrowed brow.

He clearly sensed the strangeness and power of this deathly force.

Beibei, standing at the very front of the Shrek team, was the first to be hit.

The terrifying pressure from the mountain of corpses crashing down caused his usually calm and steady aura to suddenly sink!
The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex unleashed its domineering dragon might, with dazzling golden arcs of electricity leaping wildly around its body, attempting to tear apart its terrifying power.

However, when the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus's lightning came into contact with that invisible death energy, it was as if it were swallowed up by a filthy swamp.

The gentle smile on Beibei's face vanished completely, replaced by an unprecedented solemnity and pressure.

His feet were rooted to the ground, his knuckles white from the effort.

His eyes were filled with horror and intense fear.

Is this the power of a Soul Saint?!
Just as the entire arena was shrouded in deathly silence and fear, and even the images on the giant soul guidance screen seemed to freeze at their peak, Ling Shuang's voice rang out.

His voice was not loud, but had a cold, hard quality like the friction of metal, yet it sounded like a death knell, clearly and coldly echoing throughout every corner of the square.

“Shrek?” He parted his thin lips slightly, each word like the rubbing of a cold tombstone.

"hehe."

The voice was calm and even, yet it was full of provocation.

The smiles on the faces of everyone from Jing Hongchen and the Sun and Moon Empire deepened, carrying an extraordinary sense of satisfaction.

Qian Duoduo's face grew even more gloomy.

Within the Shrek Academy team, Huo Yuhao unhesitatingly activated his mental detection to probe towards Ling Shuang herself.

However, just as that wisp of spiritual energy touched a ten-meter radius around Ling Shuang...

"Well!"

Huo Yuhao was struck dumb! His body jerked backward!
It was as if countless invisible, pitch-black scythes, entwined with the wailing of the dead, instantly cleaved into his sea of ​​consciousness!
His head throbbed with excruciating pain, a metallic taste rose in his throat, and a mouthful of blood gushed out with a "plop."

Huo Yuhao's eyes were filled with disbelief.

How can this guy have such terrifying mental strength??

Ling Shuang glanced at the Shrek Academy reserve team with utter contempt, her eyes as deep as an abyss in eternal night.

There was no smugness in his eyes, only an indifferent disdain that seemed to understand the struggles of ants.

Then, his gaze swept over the countless faces below once more.

Ling Shuang's voice rang out again, like the final pronouncement of death, echoing throughout the square:
"Remember my name—"

He raised his head slightly, and his silver-white uniform gleamed with a cold and eerie luster under the interplay of the eerie blue flames and countless soul-guided lights on the floating platform.

Those two words, like a brand, were heavily imprinted deep within everyone's consciousness.

"Jiang Lin".

As soon as he finished speaking, the massive soul-guided thrusters at the bottom of the platform suddenly erupted with an even more dazzling stream of dark blue light.

The massive floating platform began its smooth descent, heading towards the location belonging to the host, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

On the platform, the members of the Sun and Moon team remained motionless, like cold metal statues.

Xiao Hongchen appeared calm on the surface, but inside he was incredibly excited.

Damn it, I'm not even pretending to be myself, so why does it feel so good? (End of Chapter)
