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

Chapter 575 Soul-Guided Sky Fortress!

This time, following Chen Ping's instructions, He Caitou is truly determined to show some real skills.

Among these are his signature moves, which he has been refining since the last competition, but which he has never shown to the world in their complete form.

Compared to five years ago, He Caitou is now much more robust.

He is only slightly younger than Beibei, and is already nearly twenty years old this year.

Stepping onto the competition stage, his robust and dark-skinned figure exudes immense pressure.

Both sides bowed to each other in front of the referee.

"Shrek Academy, Level 65 Food-type Battle Soul Emperor, He Caitou."

"Tianjia Sect? Pfft, what?"

Han Yu of the Heavenly Armor Sect was about to introduce himself when he suddenly spat out his words.

A level 65 Soul Emperor? And a food-type Battle Soul Emperor at that?

This is so strange. How can the characters in Douluo Continent be combined like this? This shouldn't be possible.

Han Yu was filled with deep doubt, and even hoped that He Caitou would realize that he might have said something wrong and quickly take back what he had just said and repeat it.

Unfortunately, He Caitou just looked at Han Yu with a simple and honest smile and nodded at him with absolute certainty.

The referee repeated the rules of the competition, this time emphasizing that it was forbidden to intentionally kill the opponent, otherwise the opponent would be declared the loser. Only then did he allow the two to step back and prepare for the match.

He Caitou walked to the edge of the competition platform and stood still.

As he turned around abruptly, a series of spatial soul tools hanging on his body flashed with brilliant light, and a large number of metal parts that had been prepared in advance were found on his body.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the pair of two-meter-tall, extra-large soul-guided flight thrusters on his back, which are four or five times the size of ordinary soul-guided flight backpacks, just like rocket thrusters.

This thing made its debut at the Sea God's Fate Tournament. Its terrifying instantaneous propulsion and explosive speed even allowed He Caitou, who did not summon other soul tools for counterweight, to achieve a speed that surpassed that of a typical seventh-ring Soul Saint senior.

With a series of loud mechanical snapping sounds, the sides of the thruster suddenly unfolded, extending several thick metal supports that expanded outwards like the skeleton of a giant beast!
Immediately afterwards, thick armor plates flew out of the space soul guide and precisely embedded themselves into the brackets, beginning to assemble around the two major propulsion devices. One after another, huge or intricate black cannon barrels grew out from them, and the internal gyroscope devices flexibly corrected the parameters, all aiming at Han Yu.

Almost in the blink of an eye, He Caitou and the massive heavy turbojet propulsion system were completely enveloped by a ring of soul-guided cannons. Only a few miniature image-recording beads, partially hidden within the armor, were transmitting the entire soul-guided projectile to He Caitou within the soul-guided cannons in a 360-degree, unobstructed manner. This was the ultimate war turret form that He Caitou had introduced himself at the Sea God's Fate event—capable of controlling over 128 soul-guided cannons at once!
Even in this form, He Caitou's war fortress is equipped with two super-energy cannons on each side.

Yes, it's the same Super Energy Cannon that He Caitou used in the last competition, and even then, his teammates needed to buy him a lot of time to build up his energy before he could barely fire a single shot.

Back then, the super-energy cannon that He Caitou used was only level 5, but now the two super-energy cannons mounted on his fortress are both level 7!

These two giant cannons alone weigh over 600 jin (approximately 300 kg), and when you add the other soul-guided cannons on Caitou Fortress, the total weight definitely exceeds one ton.

This fortress is just sitting there. If an ordinary five-ring Soul King came, a weapon Soul Master would be fine, but a Beast Soul Master might punch until their fists bleed and their head is smashed until it's bleeding, and they still might not be able to dismantle this metal fortress.

"I go."

Looking at the giant iron stack in front of him, Han Yu began to smile bitterly. This was basically a small mountain, and a small mountain made of metal at that. How could he possibly defeat this thing?

Unlike Han Yu's reaction, Xiao Hongchen from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy only showed a slight shock on his face, but that was all.

After all, no matter how powerful the soul-guided fortress He Caitou was building at this time was, even including the two super-energy-gathering cannons, it only had 128 soul-guided cannons, which was a huge difference from his ability to control 256 soul-guided cannons.

His Three-Legged Golden Toad Martial Soul talent is metal control. He has an innate, king-like control over metal. In front of him, the Soul Guidance Fortress controlled by Cai Tou is barely worth a glance.

Moreover, thanks to the secret chamber under the Golden Ancient Tree of Shrek Academy, he is now a genuine seven-ring Soul Saint, a seven-ring Soul Saint who has never appeared in the competition before!
Furthermore, the Martial Soul Fusion Skill that he and his sister Meng Hongchen, a six-ring Soul Emperor, can unleash together has been personally acknowledged by their grandfather, Jing Hongchen, as being able to threaten him, a Title Douluo, to a certain extent!

With such overwhelming power, what could Chen Ping, the clown, possibly use to block it? What could Shrek Joker Academy possibly use to block it? Anyone who dared to stand in their way of winning the championship would be crushed into dust!
Just as Xiao Hongchen was still confidently pondering, the Soul Guidance Fortress, which stood on the Soul Fighting Platform and weighed a ton, moved as the referee suddenly swung his right hand down to announce the start of the match.

Two jets of flame, thicker than a tree that a person could hug, shot out from the base of the fortress that had been prepared in advance. The terrifying, dark blue flames were so hot that they were visible to the naked eye. In just one second, they scorched and melted the ground of the Soul Arena.

Immediately afterwards, in just a few breaths, a steel fortress suspended in mid-air flew higher and higher, reaching a position that ordinary soul masters' soul skills could never hit, according to the new, more reasonable and compliant competition rules personally designated by the Sun Moon Empire.

Not only was Han Yu on the other side dumbfounded, but Xu Tianran and Jing Hongchen on the podium were also stunned.

Shrek's group actually sent a war fortress weighing over a ton into the sky, turning it into a soul-guided aerospace fortress?
Looking at the aerospace fortress that hovered in the sky and was covered with cannons like a small mountain, Jing Hongchen and Xu Tianran both realized a very serious problem.

Their previous rule-changing action was a bit rash.

No matter how powerful their flying soul tools are, they can't fly as high as Shrek's Sky Fortress, whose tail flame is thicker than ten of their flying soul tools!
Just by looking at those Mach rings, Jing Hongchen knew that He Caitou's Sky Fortress was an improvement on Shrek Academy's new type of flying soul tool. Such a flying soul tool has low energy consumption and high thrust, so it is not difficult to use it to push the soul tool fortress into the sky after being scaled up proportionally.

If similar flying fortresses were to appear on a large scale on the battlefield in the future, the Soul Master Corps would be fine, as they would be protected by Mo Fang's linked defensive Soul Guidance Device. But could the Soul Masters on ordinary positions withstand it?
