Douluo: Twin Origins, Suppressing the World

Chapter 98 A Victory Decided by One Person
During this time, some Soul Masters with the ability to fly also prepared to escape from the sky.

but……

"Oh, I almost forgot." It was like a whisper from a demon in hell.

The jade barrier, which originally only blocked the four directions of east, west, south, and north, began to change and extend, forming another jade barrier at the top, creating a completely enclosed compartment.

Upon seeing this, the trapped trainees immediately became uneasy, and the smiles that had appeared on their faces, which they had initially thought would allow them to escape using their flying abilities, vanished.

Instead, there was extreme terror.

Enclosed spaces often have a remarkable effect on breaking down a person's psychological defenses.

"Admit defeat! Admit defeat!"

The ever-increasing Abyssal Flames completely broke them down, and they shouted at the top of their lungs, as if worried that Ling Shuang wouldn't hear them.

Only when the Abyssal Flame disappeared and the Emerald Barrier that had sealed them down did their emotions gradually calm down.

In less than three minutes, 60% of the core disciples in the competition had already chosen to concede defeat.

Of course, there are also some people who are still persisting.

Ling Shuang wasn't in a hurry to deal with them. After all, Jiang Nannan and the others were still fighting, so it was better to take it slow and let him relax a bit.

"There's no other way but to give it my all!" Bei Bei looked at the towering emerald barriers around her, gritted her teeth, and mobilized all her soul power.

He had tried to break through it many times, but the emerald barrier in front of him had not been damaged much at all.

Although the Abyssal Flames that filled the surroundings were just released casually by Ling Shuang and did not contain much power, and their destructiveness was limited, he still needed to constantly use his soul power to resist them.

If he continues like this and cannot break through this strange green barrier, he will eventually fail due to the exhaustion of his soul power.

Rather than that, it would be better to try going all out and breaking through without holding back, at least then you won't lose so frustratingly.

The spirit rings on Beibei's body suddenly lit up.

The ferocious dragon claws crackled with blue lightning, and behind it, a massive dragon head forged from lightning slowly emerged.

Thunder Dragon Claw, Thunderous Fury, Thunder Dragon Head!

At this moment, Beibei truly unleashed all her abilities, mobilizing her soul power to its fullest extent.

As the dragon's claws swung out, the dragon's head, carrying terrifying lightning power, charged towards the jade barrier in front of it.

"boom!"

A tremendous bombardment resounded through the sky.

Beibei's pupils suddenly contracted.

Cracks had indeed appeared on the jade barrier in front of them, but it had begun to shimmer with a bright green light.

A life force, imbued with vitality yet far from gentle, rushed straight toward Beibei.

Having just used all her strength to try and destroy the emerald barrier, Beibei was now completely unable to dodge and could only use her remaining soul power to hold her hands in front of her for defense.

However, having already exhausted most of his soul power, how could he possibly withstand an attack with the power equivalent to his own full-force strike?
Beibei's defenses were completely shattered in an instant. Her body flew backward like a cannonball, crashing heavily to the ground. She spurted out a mouthful of blood and lost consciousness.

Does not have a long memory.

Ling Shuang withdrew her gaze and shook her head.

He had thought that since he had used the Emerald Barrier technique many times before, they should have a pretty good idea of ​​how to use it, but it seems he had overestimated it.

Indeed, Bei Bei's full-force attack should have been able to shatter Ling Shuang's casually placed jade barrier. However, Ling Shuang wasn't stupid; after noticing the commotion, he specifically reinforced the jade barrier in front of Bei Bei. This meant that Bei Bei failed to destroy the jade barrier and instead suffered a counterattack from it.

If Beibei had done some research on Ling Shuang's Emerald Barrier beforehand, and had only used the Thunder Dragon Claw, a physical attack, instead of using it as a secondary attack to unleash the Thunder Dragon Head, which is primarily an elemental attack, she wouldn't have suffered such a strong backlash.

Of course, Beibei wasn't the only one who made this mistake.

"boom!"

Another loud explosion followed, and He Caitou fell to the ground. His already dark skin was now completely black from the explosion.

This guy, as a Soul Master, is preparing to use a Level 5 Energy Cannon to break through.

The result was predictable.

This guy didn't carry any defensive soul tools like the Invincible Shield, and being a food-type soul master, his defensive capabilities were among the lowest of all soul masters.

They had no ability to resist this rebound.

If Ling Shuang hadn't deliberately reduced the energy of the rebound to avoid further trouble, this guy would have been more than just unconscious. If Xuan Zi hadn't intervened in time, he would most likely have perished.

One after another, some admitted defeat, and others were eliminated.

This also includes Huo Yuhao, the protagonist of the original work. Although he has the Ultimate Ice Martial Soul, which is theoretically effective against ordinary flames, Ling Shuang's Abyss Flame is based on destructive power and is not affected by the Ultimate Ice.

However, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was wary of the Snow Emperor's information on Ling Shuang and dared not make a move, so it was naturally impossible for it to break through Ling Shuang's jade barrier.

Moreover, Dai Huabin and Huo Yuhao received special care from Ling Shuang. Their bodies were burned black by the Abyss Flame. Although they were not killed, Ling Shuang left behind some destructive power, which meant that even if they received treatment later, it would definitely take a long time.

Jiang Nannan and the others also ended their battles one after another not long afterward, and without exception, they all won.

In the end, only Xiao Xiao and Zhu Lu, who were not protected by Ling Shuangyuan's Flame of Extinction, remained on the field in the area separated by the jade barrier.

In the end, seven people were needed to advance, but they only had six. So Ling Shuang kept the two girls who hadn't been prepared to gang up on them.

Xiao Xiao and Zhu Lu stared blankly at the vanished jade barrier, still unable to comprehend what had happened.

Then Ling Shuang's voice rang out: "One of you can still advance, choose one."

Xiao Xiao and Zhu Lu then realized that Ling Shuang had gone easy on them. They also noticed the other students who were already at the edge of the room.

Is there another chance to advance?

"I give up." Without almost any hesitation, Zhu Lu took the initiative to give up.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiao suddenly turned her head, her emerald green eyes filled with shock.

Although the purpose of this selection competition is unknown, the fact that it has gathered all the core disciples of the outer academy tells us that the final goal must be extraordinary.

Did Zhu Lu just give up without hesitation?
“You’re more suitable than me.” Zhu Lu didn’t offer any further explanation. She patted Xiao Xiao’s shoulder and turned to leave.

Xiao Xiao possesses twin martial souls, and Zhu Lu genuinely believes that Xiao Xiao is more qualified to advance than herself.

Zhu Lu no longer has a strong competitive spirit.

Before leaving, Zhu Lu gave Ling Shuang a deep look.

If only she had half his strength...

The dust has settled, but some people are not in a good mood.
