Douluo Dalu: Golden Spirit Tree

Chapter 230 Tit for tat, Beibei's strength
Seeing the life demon walking onto the stage with a cane and a slight limp, the spectators and the players from Tiandu College all had strange looks on their faces.

However, there were also Shrek team members in wheelchairs. Although it was strange that the Fate Demon acted like this, no one made any remarks to mock him.

Only the Shrek people looked at the life demon who was about to step onto the competition stage with solemn eyes.

Lin Yi had a battle with the Fate Demon outside Shrek City, and he became famous, but not many people knew his face.

Until the Life Demon and the Tiandu College team members stood still.

As the referee announced the start of the match, both sides summoned their martial spirits.

Tiandu College is also an old college in the Douling Empire. The participating team members are quite strong. The person who came on the stage this time is the captain of the Tiandu College team, a five-ring soul king.

The martial soul is a long-handled sword with two yellow and three purple soul rings. Although it is not the best ratio, it is acceptable.

However, compared to the fate demon, the captain of Tiandu Academy is nothing.

One yellow, two purple, two black, one gray, and one red.

Seven rings, soul saint!
The soul ring combination that far exceeded the optimal soul ring ratio made countless people's pupils constrict.

The grey spirit ring was completely different from the ordinary spirit rings in color, and the scarlet seventh spirit ring made countless people hold their breath.

The ultimate fantasy of a soul master, the treasure he longed for, just appeared on the body of a seven-ring soul saint.

But the Soul Saints under the age of twenty made everyone feel bitter.

Especially the captain of Tiandu Academy, he started rushing forward as soon as the referee announced the start of the game. With his martial soul and sword, he undoubtedly prefers close combat.

But after seeing the life demon standing still releasing its soul ring, he slammed on the brakes and stopped urgently.

The difference in spirit rings is so huge, and there is also a disadvantage in spirit power. How can we fight?
The captain of Tiandu Academy was in a state of violent emotional fluctuation and lost his mind for a moment, but the life demon did not show any signs of this.

The soul ring is revealed only to let people see it clearly and to show the influence of the Holy Spirit Sect.

Looking at the dazed captain of Tiandu Academy, Ming Yao bowed slightly and revealed his identity.

"Holy Spirit Sect, Life Demon, please give me your guidance."

Then, regardless of the opponent's reaction, branches stretched out from the palm of his hand and grew rapidly, piercing the captain of Tiandu Academy with one blow, but he did not initiate the swallowing. Judging from the position of the piercing of the life demon, this blow was already a serious injury.

The branch swung lightly, throwing the captain of Tiandu College down. Blood gushed out from the place where his body was pierced, quickly soaking the stage under him.

The fate demon's expression did not change at all, he just said calmly: "Next."

It seemed that it was the voice of the fate demon, and the people of Tiandu College hurriedly went on stage to move their captain back.

But the severe injuries and massive blood loss had made his face as pale as paper.

The competition doctor rushed over to stabilize his injuries, but seeing his serious frown, we knew the situation was not optimistic.

The leader of Tiandu College has begun to protest.

"This isn't a competition, this is murder. I want to protest to the tournament!"

The life demon stood on the competition stage, looking down at the leader of Tiandu College.

"This Saint Son has held back. At least, he is still alive after taking one blow from this Saint Son."

Son?

After hearing the words of the Fate Demon and considering the name of the Holy Spirit Sect, the leader of Tiandu Academy from the Douling Empire finally reacted.

The Holy Spirit Sect’s Holy Son is a demon?
Isn’t that the one outside Shrek City?
Not only the leader of Tiandu College, but the other participating teams also slowly remembered what happened outside Shrek City a few years ago.

That is the Holy Spirit Sect that Shrek has issued an order to kill evil.

A sect that was recognized as an evil soul master sect by Shrek and Douluo's original three kingdoms is now openly participating in this competition?

At one time, countless participating teams protested to the Sun-Moon Empire organizers, asking how they could accept registration from an evil soul master sect!
However, the Sun-Moon Empire took a very tough stance in the face of these protests:

If you don't want to compete, you can give up, no one will stop you.

Compared to these academies, the atmosphere at Shrek was a bit solemn, but still quite calm.

The soul ring of the life demon is indeed exaggerated, but it is nothing compared to Lin Yi.

This is the idea of ​​the Shrek people participating in the competition.

Only Lin Yi's clone and Bei Bei had indifferent expressions. These were the two people who truly knew the truth. Even Old Song and Xuan Zi, who were secretly protecting them, did not know the truth.

However, the current leader of the Golden Pavilion, Lin Yi, did not respond, and the two elders could not say a word. They could only continue to protect their students in secret.

Finally, the Sun and Moon team made a decision and the competition continued.

The leader of Tiandu College was a little confused.

There is no chance of winning at all.

In contrast, our students were only seriously injured. After the previous emergency treatment, their lives have been saved. Apart from the fact that the injury will affect their practice during this period, there are no sequelae.

Just as the fate demon said, I have held back.

But this also put Tiandu College on the front line.

Finally, the leader of Tiandu College gritted his teeth and continued!
So, the contestants from Tiandu College came on stage one after another, and were penetrated one after another.

The life demon was well controlled and was only seriously injured, his life was not in danger.

The early stages of this competition were divided into knockout rounds and team competitions, but since all the individual competitions failed, there was no need for team competitions.

The Holy Spirit Sect advanced strongly with only one person, the Life Demon, appearing.

At the same time, it also reminded everyone of the Holy Spirit Sect that was once famous a few years ago, as well as the Holy Son of the Fate Demon, a ruthless man who was able to confront the continent's number one genius in ten thousand years head-on.

The Life Demon calmly stepped down from the stage, still in a leisurely manner, but his gaze was cast towards the Shrek rest area, with a slightly strange glint in his eyes.

In the eyes of the Shrek people, this light became a provocation.

hateful!

Lin Yi stopped it in time and announced that in Shrek's first match of this competition, Beibei, a seven-ringed soul saint whose strength was second only to his, would appear on the field.

On the podium, Zhongli Wu sat behind Xu Tianran at some point.

Seeing the powerful advancement of the Fate Demon, Zhongli Wu's eyes flashed with satisfaction.

Xu Tianran's voice came at this moment.

"National Master, it seems that the Holy Son of your sect not only has amazing talent and strength, but also has a perfect sense of proportion."

Zhongli Wu understood what Xu Tianran meant. The participation of the Holy Spirit Sect, a sect of evil soul masters, had already put a lot of pressure on the Sun-Moon Empire. If the Fate Demons continued to kill indiscriminately in the competition, although the Sun-Moon Empire was not afraid, it would inevitably be in trouble.

Injuring the Fate Demon without killing it will make things much easier for the Sun and Moon Empire.

He didn't take it seriously. In Zhongli Wu's heart, it didn't matter whether these contestants lived or died, but since it was done by his own Holy Son, it was good. What's more, Xu Tianran was still praising him.

"Your Highness, you are too kind. Now that our Holy Church has become one with the sun and the moon, this is our duty."

Xu Tianran chuckled, "Master, what you said is very true. We are destined to be together forever."

Perhaps because the first round of the elimination match took too long, there was no time to rest in the second round. As the academy that had a bye in the previous round and the one with the title of the number one academy on the continent, Shrek Academy's match was placed in the first game of the second round.

In Sun and Moon, it is difficult for Shrek Academy to have the same advantage as in the Three Kingdoms where Douluo was originally a part of. As the runner-up who has been suppressed by Shrek Academy for thousands of years, Sun and Moon just dislikes Shrek Academy no matter how hard they try.

The nation's cohesion was at its peak at this moment. When Shrek's name was heard, there was a lot of booing from the audience.

And to the Shrek people, these boos sounded more like compliments and praise.

That’s right, it was us who made your Sun and Moon Continent’s pinnacle the runner-up, it was us Shrek who suppressed Sun and Moon to the point where they couldn’t breathe, and it was us Shrek who destroyed the reputation of your Sun and Moon Continent.

Amidst boos, Shrek faced their first opponent in this competition: Tianjia Sect.

It can only be said that the strength of the sect is indeed not weak. In this competition where sects are allowed to participate, after the first round of eliminations, there are 84 participating teams left, of which more than two-thirds are sect teams, with a total of 56 teams.

The strength of the sects in Douluo Continent can be imagined.

Of course, although there are fewer college teams, there are still strong teams from the old colleges in previous competitions.

The most representative one is naturally Shrek Academy.

Others such as the Xingluo Royal Soul Master Academy and the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Academy also advanced strongly.

Seeing the Shrek Academy competition this time, both the teams from various academies and sects were in high spirits.

Shrek's reputation as the number one academy and the number one force for thousands of years is not exaggerated. If Shrek wants to become the champion, it is a hurdle that it cannot avoid.

Xingluo Royal Soul Master Academy, Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Holy Spirit Sect, and the Body Sect, also known as the Snow Demon Sect.

In Lin Yi's perception, those people from the Body Sect were unable to hide their figures at all.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Shrek Academy and Tianjiao Sect each sent out their first contestant.

Shrek Academy, Beibei, versus Tianjia Sect, Han Yu.

The Tianjia Sect is a family-based sect. The martial spirits of the sect's disciples are all inherited through their bloodline, the Tianjia Shield.

As the referee announced the start of the match, neither side chose to rush forward immediately, but instead summoned their martial spirits.

Hexagonal black armor plates flew out from around Han Yu and condensed into a heavy hexagonal armor shield in his hands. The armor plates were evenly distributed and looked very regular.

Two yellow, two purple, and one black, the best combination of five soul rings appeared, the five-ring soul king.

As a member of the team that entered the second round, this person is even stronger than the captain of Tiandu Academy, the opponent of the Holy Spirit Sect in the first game.

The difference can be seen from the spirit rings. The boost that a ten thousand year spirit ring brings to a spirit master is incomparable to that of a thousand year spirit ring.

Opposite Han Yu, Beibei, the only Shrek player participating in this match, also released his martial spirit.

Golden arcs of lightning emerged from Beibei's forehead and spread throughout his body. Amidst the violent thunder and the power of light, Beibei's hands transformed into dragon claws, covered with thick golden scales. The claws were sharp with distinct knuckles, and the powerful dragon might enveloped the entire arena.

The spirit ring also appeared at the same time as the martial spirit.

One yellow, two purple, three black, and one red.

Seven rings, soul saint!
Moreover, the soul ring configuration is almost the same as that of the previous life demon. The scarlet seventh soul ring also stimulates the eyes of everyone present.

Soul Sages under the age of twenty even have a seventh soul ring that is one hundred thousand years old.

Is this really something humans can achieve?

Moreover, everyone remembered that the strongest member of the Shrek Academy team was Lin Yi, not Bei Bei who had just appeared. Even a Soul Saint with a 100,000-year soul ring was no match for him, so just how powerful would Lin Yi, who was also a Soul Saint, be?

In the rest area of ​​the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, Xiao Hongchen's face was grim. It wasn't Lin Yi, but Bei Bei alone had achieved this. So what was the price he paid?!

Meng Hongchen looked at his brother with a little worry, but his eyes unconsciously moved to Lin Yi who was sitting at the front of the Shrek rest area.

When Xiao Hongchen saw the look in his sister's eyes, he felt a blockage in his heart and became more and more uncomfortable.

On one side of the rest area, at the Snow Demon Sect, a burly man with a solemn expression sat there. Although he was sitting upright, judging from the fact that he was taller than an ordinary person even when he was sitting, he was definitely a tall man.

Although this man is not particularly handsome, he has an inexplicably evil and charming aura.

The most eye-catching thing is his skin, which is as white as jade, with a halo flowing underneath, which is indescribably magical.

And this person is truly the biggest trump card of the Body Sect this time.

The young master of the Body Sect, Long Aotian.

The martial soul skin is also a seven-ring soul saint.

I'm not sure what kind of opportunity he got, but being able to become a Soul Sage before the age of twenty is enough to show his talent.

The reason why Long Aotian was watching the game in the rest area was because he heard that in yesterday's game, there was a Soul Sage with a seventh soul ring of 100,000 years, but he was just an evil soul master.

The unexpected news made Long Aotian dare not underestimate the world's genius, so he sat in the rest area and watched the game attentively.

But unexpectedly, he happened to see Beibei with all his spirit rings activated.

The oppressive feeling brought by the hundred thousand year spirit ring was not something even Long Aotian, who was a spirit saint like Bei Bei, dared to take lightly.

However, when Long Aotian looked at Beibei, he was not frightened by the hundred thousand year soul ring, but a blazing fighting spirit burned in his eyes.

On the competition stage, Beibei glanced over here as if sensing something, but then retracted his gaze and concentrated on the competition.

A hint of excitement gradually appeared on Long Aotian's face, which was the joy of meeting an opponent.

On the rostrum, Xu Tianran frowned slightly as he watched Beibei release her soul ring.

"National Master, I didn't expect that Shrek would have such a genius besides Lin Yi. Are you, the Holy Spirit Cult, confident in dealing with him?"

Zhongli Wu nodded slightly, "Don't worry, Your Highness. Everything is under control. However, are we really not going to attack Shrek this time?"

Xu Tianran pondered for a moment, "Shrek's strength is unfathomable. After all, it is the number one academy on the continent. I have to give it this face. When I, Sun and Moon, unify the continent and bring the power of the entire continent, then Shrek will make a choice that will satisfy me."

There was a hint of disdain in Zhongli Wu's eyes, but he still said, "As Your Highness commands."

As all parties reacted, Beibei did not give Han Yu much time to react. Like a life demon, he released his soul rings to shock the entire audience, and the fourth soul ring lit up.

The fourth soul skill is the bright purple thunder.

The golden thunder instantly turned into dazzling purple-gold.

As Beibei had participated in the previous competition, there was no need to keep the first four soul skills secret.

Beibei directly used the ten thousand year amplification soul skill.

Then, a purple-gold dragon claw attacked Han Yu.

The speed of thunder is so fast, especially when it is cast by Beibei, who has already reached the Soul Saint level.

The only thing worth mentioning is this Thunder Dragon Claw, which was not performed by Beibei using his spirit ring, but was released directly through the perception and control of thunder.

Just like what Lin Yi did back then.

Beibei now understands that offensive soul skills can be comprehended by oneself. With a deep understanding of his own soul skills, the Thunder Dragon Claw is now like Beibei's own soul skill, with no cooldown and can be used at will.

This means that Beibei did waste a spirit ring. Fortunately, it was only the first spirit skill of a hundred-year spirit ring. Although it was a loss, it was still acceptable.

Facing Beibei's attack, Han Yu only had time to use his fourth soul skill.

The Ten Thousand Year Soul Skill is indeed powerful, but for a Five-Ring Soul King, it still takes a certain amount of time to perform the Ten Thousand Year Soul Skill. Even if this time is very short, for Beibei's Thunder Dragon Claw, this time is enough.

Therefore, the fourth soul skill is Han Yu’s only choice.

All the plates of the Sky Armor Shield instantly concave inwards, and then the scorching fire elements begin to gather. The red light, reflected by the plates, converges at one point and condenses into a line of fire, pointing towards Beibei's Thunder Dragon Claw.

The fourth soul skill of Tianjia Shield - Tianjia Needle, is a powerful single-target attack soul skill. Its penetrating power is not inferior to the ten thousand year soul skill. It is a soul skill that is extremely suitable for Tianjia Shield, a fire-attribute shield.

However, one side attacked with all their strength while the other side responded hastily, and there was a huge gap in soul power. The Tianjia Needle was ultimately defeated by the Thunder Dragon Claw and was extinguished by thunder.

Han Yu only had time to use the Tianjia Needle to delay him for a short time to perform his first soul skill before he was covered by Beibei's Thunder Dragon Claw.

Finally, Han Yu fell to the ground with convulsions all over his body, and it was announced that Beibei won the first game of Shrek.

Compared to the attack of the Life Demon that caused serious injuries, Beibei controlled the power of his thunder very well. Han Yu only needed to make a slight adjustment and he would not even be delayed in participating in the team competition later.

After that, it was Beibei’s solo performance.

Until Beibei defeated five people at once, making the Tianjiao Sect almost despair and choosing to admit defeat, Beibei suddenly spoke.

"Individual elimination round, Shrek Academy admits defeat."

The sudden words not only left the Tianjiao Sect puzzled, but even the referee couldn't help but ask, "Shrek Academy contestant, are you sure?"

Beibei nodded calmly.

It's no wonder that everyone reacted like this. According to the strength shown by Beibei, it would be no problem for him to defeat seven opponents at once. But now, he took the initiative to choose to play an extra team match.

Beibei's words also puzzled the other participating teams.

Could it be for training, to let the other players feel the atmosphere of the competition?
But if I remember correctly, the members of the Shrek team this time are the reserve team of the previous competition, and their leader is Lin Yi, the number one genius of the past thousand years who defeated seven opponents in the final of the previous competition.

With Beibei being a Soul Saint, is there any need to train troops?

But in fact, Beibei's action was just instructed by Lin Yi.

The purpose is simple, to deter.

Tell everyone that besides Lin Yi, Shrek has other geniuses who are equally capable of fighting.

In the subsequent team competition, Beibei was still the only one playing.

Even when submitting the list, Shrek only submitted Beibei's name.

Although he didn't understand, Beibei's behavior did not violate the rules. After a little preparation, the team competition between Tianjia Sect and Shrek Academy officially began.

The seven people from the Tianjiao Sect formed a strange arc formation, and on the Shrek side, Beibei was still standing there alone.

No one thought that Shrek Academy was careless. Beibei Soul Saint's cultivation was enough to explain everything.

The seven people from Tianjia Sect also did not feel looked down upon. The pressure brought to them by one Soul Saint was already not small. If there were others, the Tianjia Sect would not need to make a big deal about this team competition and could just admit defeat.

However, if they were facing only one person, even if he was a Soul Sage, the Tianjiao Sect believed they had the strength to fight.

At this time, the booing of Shrek in the audience had already stopped. A seven-ringed Soul Saint and a hundred thousand year soul ring were enough to make everyone shut up.

Under everyone's gaze, the referee finally shouted the start of the game.

The seven people from the Tianjiao Sect moved in sync, and seven armor shields appeared and were thrown out at the same time.

In the air, the armor shield disintegrated on its own, and the armor pieces reassembled themselves. With the clanging sound, they condensed into a thick and huge sky armor shield.

Beibei's eyes showed a hint of interest. Is this... a seven-in-one martial soul combination skill?

That’s right, this is the advantage of a sect that inherits martial spirits through bloodline.

Because they grew up and practiced together since childhood, and their martial spirits were of the same origin, the disciples of this sect who inherited the martial spirit through bloodline could rely on their tacit understanding to complete some eye-catching operations.

For example, the seven-in-one martial soul combination skill in front of us.

In the sect, this combination of skills is almost a secret method of inheritance and is also a major foundation of the sect.

It was the first time for Beibei to see this kind of combination skill. He showed an interested look on his face and let the Tianjia Sect members perform it.

In the eyes of the spectators, Beibei was a little too arrogant, and this time, Shrek might fail.

The first academy for ten thousand years was eliminated in the second round of elimination. This is definitely a "great achievement" that is enough to be engraved on the pillar of shame of Shrek Academy.

Beibei and Lin Yi, the current leader of the Golden Pavilion who formulated this tactic, will also be remembered in history.

For a while, countless people were laughing at Shrek Academy.

The seven people from Tianjiao Sect ignored all this. They just followed the procedures and burst out with all their strength.

The fourth soul rings of the seven people lit up at the same time.

The 'Heavenly Armor Needle,' a soul skill whose power rivals that of a ten-thousand-year-old skill, was actually unleashed by seven people at full strength, transforming it into a single soul skill. Its power must be extraordinary.

The light that lit up on the huge Sky Armor Shield was no longer red, but an even more astonishing crimson.

No one would doubt the temperature of that crimson light.

It is certainly far from the ultimate fire, but compared to ordinary fire properties, such a temperature is rare.

Even Bei Bei, who was at the seventh ring, could feel the dangerous aura emanating from the huge armor shield.

If Beibei only relied on his physical body to fight, he could not guarantee that he could escape unscathed.

A sect with a long history does have its merits.

Beibei's eyes finally became more serious, and dazzling golden thunder began to surge over Beibei's body. The violence of thunder and the purifying meaning of light appeared in Beibei's hands at the same time.

The thick but somewhat violently beautiful dragon claws came together on Beibei's body, pulling and separating, and the dragon claws were fixed in front of Beibei in a ball-holding position, while fine golden lightning arcs began to gather.

As both sides gathered their strength, the air in the field suddenly fluctuated, and scorching heat and a violent feeling of numbness appeared in the field at the same time.

Finally, from the center of the thick Tianjia shield, a red light as thick as an arm shot out and rushed straight towards Beibei.

The seven-in-one martial soul combination skill, Tianjia Needle.

Around Beibei, the air suddenly fluctuated, like ripples in water. The ripples gradually became finer, and Beibei's momentum also rose.

At the moment when the Tianjia needle was shot out, as if pulled by the energy, the thunder in Beibei's dragon claws also condensed to the limit. The dragon claws pushed forward, and the violent golden thunder blasted out, hitting the red light.

Lin Yi's original soul skill, Bright Thunderbolt, was used by Bei Bei at this moment...
