Douluo: What the hell is the academic master development system?

Chapter 212 Soul Attack
While Dai Yueheng was arriving, Chen Zifeng, Gongyang Mo, and the others had already clearly explained who the newcomer was.

That's why everyone's nerves are on edge right now.

The seven members of the Inner Court, even if they were tied together, could barely handle one level 80 Evil Soul Douluo, but now there are two of them!
This is a battle with absolutely no chance of winning.

Even if they have no chance of winning, they have to drag it out.

They'll stall until Elder Xuan realizes something's wrong, until Elder Xuan comes to their aid!

Chen Zifeng, Ma Xiaotao, and other offensive-type Soul Masters were staring at the exit of the tunnel, ready to pounce.

The terrain inside the cave is intricate and complex, yet it is also where their survival depends.

If they could use the terrain inside the cave to launch a series of attacks, they might actually be able to hold off these two evil soul douluos for three to five minutes.

This was also Chen Ping's intention. After Chen Zifeng and the others finished explaining the situation in the shortest possible terms, Chen Ping provided an emergency plan.

No one knew whether Chen Ping's plan was reliable or not. They didn't have time to verify the feasibility of the plan, let alone prepare a second plan.

In such a critical situation, only one person in the entire team can give orders, leaving no room for discussion or consultation!

Everyone stared intently at the cave entrance. Chen Zifeng's Soul-Chasing Sword Martial Soul even trembled slightly, making a cracking sound, as layers of sharp sword energy converged towards the blade.

This is Chen Zifeng's first soul skill - Sharp, which increases the blade's sharpness attribute by 100%.

With the combined amplification from Gongyang Mo and He Caitou, his fully charged sword strike would be no less powerful than the full-force attack of a top-tier six-ring offensive Soul Emperor.

The problem is that Zhongli Tian and Zhongli Di are evil spirit masters, murderers with countless blood debts. They're not idiots, so why would they stick their heads out of the tunnel entrance for them to chop off?
The next moment, more than a dozen blood-red beast souls pierced through the rocks and soil, instantly emerging from the ground and lunging at everyone present.

Chen Zifeng's expression darkened, and he slashed out with two swords, unleashing two bursts of sword energy that instantly tore apart the beast souls that were lunging at him.

Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, and the others reacted similarly, managing only to barely manage to get rid of the beast souls in front of them.

At that very moment, the Zhongli brothers suddenly overturned large chunks of soil and emerged from the ground!

"Hiss hiss hiss, so many Shrek brats, kill them all!"

In his Martial Soul Possession state, Zhong Litian's tongue had transformed into a forked tongue, typical of snakes, making a hissing sound when he spoke, which sounded incredibly eerie.

"Hehehe, big brother, look at that brat! He's the one who killed our third brother. I'm going to eat him!"

Zhong Li, who was also possessed by a martial spirit, tilted his head and let out a strange, cackling laugh, his scarlet snake eyes shooting out an undisguised, soaring killing intent.

At this moment, the terrifying pressure of the two at the Contra Douluo level was no longer concealed in the slightest. With the terrifying half-human, half-snake appearance of the other party after their martial souls were possessed, and the thick blood plasma covering the cave with the corpse explosions, the two looked more like Nether Serpent Demons who had walked out of hell.

That's not entirely wrong, after all, the martial souls of these two guys are the Netherworld Serpents!

At this moment, a large number of crimson beast souls surged out from their respective staffs, protecting the Zhongli brothers.

Ma Xiaotao managed to muster a mouthful of evil fire to spew out, but it was blocked by the protective beast souls of the two brothers.

This phoenix fire, with power comparable to a Soul Saint's, sprayed onto Zhong Litian, instantly causing a large number of beast souls to hiss and evaporate rapidly, yet it couldn't harm Zhong Litian himself, who was protected by the beast souls. "You ignorant bitch, I'll kill you first!"

A fierce glint flashed in Zhong Litian's eyes. He waved the Beast Soul Staff in his hand, and a crimson-gold light suddenly appeared in front of Ma Xiaotao.

It was a huge, reddish-gold lion.

This crimson-gold lion looks as if it were carved from crimson crystal, shimmering with dazzling brilliance.

The moment it appeared, even Ma Xiaotao's fierce aura weakened.

Beast Soul, this is clearly also a beast soul.

However, it is far more powerful than any other beast soul.

Chen Ping recognized the beast's origin the moment he saw it: Crimson Gold Lion!
The Crimson Lion is a variant of the Golden Lion King. Although it is not among the super soul beasts, it is still a top-tier soul beast that is no less powerful than the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus.

Although the crimson-gold lion before them was merely a beast soul, judging from the aura emanating from it, it was at least a crimson-gold lion with 30,000 years of cultivation.

Moreover, its combat power is probably comparable to a 50,000-year-old soul beast that can rival a seven-ring soul saint!

As soon as the Crimson Gold Lion appeared, it roared to the sky, its magnificent body, which was as solid as a physical entity, displayed a power that was completely different from that of ordinary beast souls.

There was no fear in Ma Xiaotao's eyes, but rather a flash of madness. The evil fire that Huo Gua had finally managed to suppress with his Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Martial Soul began to rise again.

Since we've already used Phoenix Fire Line as our first Soul Skill, let's use Phoenix Reborn in Flames, Phoenix Wings Soaring to the Sky, and Phoenix Piercing Clouds Strike together!

The next moment, an aura even more terrifying than the Crimson Gold Lion erupted from Ma Xiaotao's body, and her three spirit rings—yellow, purple, and black—flashed in turn.

Ma Xiaotao's aura rose steadily, and her combat power also rapidly reached the level of a seven-ring Soul Saint in a short period of time!
A small, one-meter-tall fire phoenix shot out in front of Ma Xiaotao and flew towards the crimson-gold lion.

The Crimson Lion was by no means weak. With a shake of its head, a huge circular light and shadow spread out from its head, expanding in the blink of an eye to a diameter of more than ten meters. It was a magnified version of the light and shadow of its own lion head.

boom!
The phantom maw summoned by the Crimson Lion suddenly swallowed the small fire phoenix whole.

But the next moment, an explosion containing the full power of a Soul Saint's attack also exploded in the mouth of the illusory beast, blowing off half of the Crimson Gold Lion's head!
While Ma Xiaotao held the upper hand against the Crimson Lion, the situation was quite different for the others on the field.

Only with the combined efforts of Chen Ping and Gongyang Mo, both from the second ring, could they barely kill the beast soul in front of them.

The two men appeared to have no injuries on their chests, but their faces were grim, clearly indicating that they were enduring intense pain, just like the Shadow Leopard that Zhongli had captured earlier.

The attacks of these beast souls will cause invisible injuries when they land on people!

Xi Xi, Ling Luochen, and the others are in slightly better condition, but only slightly better.

The beast souls summoned by the Zhongli brothers are extremely troublesome. Some of their attacks are tangible and have great destructive power, while others seem intangible but can cause excruciating headaches when they strike a person.

After being attacked only a few times, everyone understood what this invisible and intangible attack was—it was an offensive targeting the soul and mental power!
However, compared to the soul impact and mental thrust that Huo Yuhao or Cui Yajie can launch from a distance, these beast souls' mental attacks also require close combat to be launched.
