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

Chapter 654 Holy Flame Blade, Purifying the Impure (8K)

Before he finished speaking, Chen Ping's figure had already transformed into a streak of light, charging fiercely towards the four enemy soldiers.

Faced with a situation where he was outnumbered four to one, he took the initiative to attack, which immediately drew gasps from the audience.

At the same time, the three members of the Holy Spirit Sect had surrounded Gu Yu, who was the weakest in terms of physique, and their martial spirits were all manifested.

Lu Genggeng was the first to launch an attack.

He exerted force with both legs and suddenly leaped up, crashing straight into Chen Ping like a cannonball! As he leaped into the air, his already robust body rapidly expanded like an inflated balloon.

As he landed with a thud, his black robe shattered, and he transformed into a massive, ferocious monster—over five meters tall, surrounded by a strange, dark green mist of soul power.

Most horrifyingly, the bloated, mountain-like body was covered with rough stitches, as if it were pieced together from countless bits of flesh.

On the head, which was inlaid with alloy patches, a pair of small, blood-red eyes gleamed with ferocity, and foul-smelling saliva dripped continuously from its gaping maw.

Liquid dripped onto the specially made alloy floor, hissing and melting instantly, creating craters and releasing acrid smoke.

On the other side, the changes in Tang Dynasty were equally astonishing. He took a step forward, his body swelled up, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed into a six-meter-tall, dark golden giant skeleton!
The audience below the stage was completely silent.

The martial spirits of these two guys gave the audience a huge visual impact.

Just seeing the terrifying appearance of this abomination and the Skeleton King is enough to make one feel physically uncomfortable.

On the podium, Xu Tianran frowned deeply.

He suddenly realized that allowing the Holy Spirit Sect to participate in the competition might indeed have been a mistake.

Their existence is too outrageous for both ordinary people and Soul Masters.

Just moments ago, almost all the ministers of the Sun Moon Empire on the same platform showed expressions of shock, their eyes filled with undisguised disgust.

Even Zheng Zhan, the referee, showed a bias towards Shrek Academy, which speaks volumes.

The resistance of evil spirit masters, who are beasts who will stop at nothing to become stronger and kill without hesitation, will not be reversed in a short time.

At that moment, Xu Tianran suddenly felt a rare pang of regret.

He inwardly sighed at his own mistake in making the decision, while at the same time secretly harboring some expectations for Chen Ping.

We eagerly await the young man, who continues to perform miracles, to win this round and slay the four evil soul masters.

Otherwise, if the Holy Spirit Sect were to actually make it to the finals, the Sun Moon Empire would likely experience a riot, and public morale would plummet.

This would be a huge catastrophe that would stand in the way of his unification cause.

Rather than that, it would be better to let Shrek win this match, even if Shrek wins the championship—in the past ten thousand years, Shrek has won every major competition, so losing is just losing.
On the competition stage, after quickly unleashing his massive body, Lu Genggeng began to run with a thunderous roar, attempting to intercept Chen Ping, who was sprinting.

These two individuals possess martial spirits: one is the Abomination, with high attack and defense but moderate speed, and the other is the Skeleton King, with high attack and moderate defense but slightly faster speed than the Abomination. Neither of them are easy opponents.

Under the cover of the Skeleton King and the Abomination's massive bodies, Yan Feng and Gu Yu were completely hidden behind them.

A halo of ice-blue light appeared beneath Yan Feng's feet.

This halo is expanding outwards in concentric circles as more and more spirit rings appear on his body.

Yan Feng's body also began to become noticeably stronger, with a large amount of bone-like keratinous skin growing from his skin, tearing through his black cloak.

As the eerie and cold aura continued to rise, seven spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and three black—quickly appeared beneath his feet.

Soul Saint, Soul Saint again.

This continent-wide tournament has never seen a Soul Saint participate in its ten thousand-year history, yet three have appeared in this single edition. If we include the three Soul Emperors that Chen Ping killed beforehand, the Holy Spirit Cult's lineup this time is a terrifying one Soul Saint and six Soul Emperors.

On paper, their strength is even greater than Shrek Academy and Body Sect!

Of the four evil soul masters, Gu Yu has changed the least.

As a Soul Emperor, his martial soul is a three-meter-tall white bone staff, with a silver-gray skull inlaid on the top.

Gu Yu raised his bone staff, while Yan Feng, who was suspended in the air, unfurled two enormous ice-blue bone wings.

The Abomination and the Skeleton King moved forward with seemingly clumsy steps in sync, crushing everything in their path!

In the air, Yan Feng's icy blue light grew stronger, yet it remained suspended above Gu Yu.

Gu Yu did not activate the invincible shield, but instead raised his bone staff and cast a purple halo on each of the other three.

At this moment, the giant shadows of the Abomination and the Skeleton King were less than five meters away from Chen Ping!
Just as the Skeleton King slammed down his massive bone hand, Chen Ping's fourth soul ring shone brightly, and his entire body shattered into drifting snowflakes.

Before almost everyone could react, Chen Ping, who had re-materialized, had already appeared behind Gu Yu.

A golden light flashed between Chen Ping's brows; it was the Living Being's Golden Carving Knife, which had a special effect of piercing through the invincible shield!

As the Heavenly Blade was unsheathed, Gu Yu, as if he had been prepared, activated his sixth soul ring without hesitation.

The black spirit ring flashed, and his body immediately showed a distorted fluctuation.

The Golden Carving Knife of Life simply passed right through him, only slightly diluting the phantom-like black mist.

nothingness.

An extremely powerful life-saving technique that allows one's body to become as thin as air in an instant.

After use, neither physical attacks nor soul power attacks can affect the user's body.

In the Holy Spirit Cult, only the most outstanding disciples have the opportunity to acquire this soul skill under the guidance of their superiors.

In critical moments of crisis, its life-saving effect is much stronger than the invincible shield, similar to Nana's ghost possession, but lasts for a longer period of time.

However, nothingness doesn't represent everything; it merely grants immunity to physical and soul attacks.

Chen Ping, who had already taken everything into account, could not possibly be unaware that his opponent possessed such a life-saving skill.

If we're talking about the ultimate soul skill, it's probably Snowfall, which the Snow Empress provided to Chen Ping. This is the only true evasion skill that can instantly grant immunity to all deadly attacks.

Therefore, with just a flick of his wrist, Chen Ping brought the flying carving knife back into his hand. When Chen Ping flung it out again, the blade was already ignited by golden flames.

The Holy Flame Blade is one of the weapon blessings that Templars can obtain through the chanting of church priests.

It greatly increases the holy attribute damage of the Holy Sword and Holy Hammer in hand, and can completely annihilate evil and dark undead along with their undead fire, depriving them of their resurrection ability.

The reason why all the undead creatures under Electrox's command are warriors of the Light attribute is to guard against this move by the Church. It is conceivable how terrifying the enchanted killing power of the Holy Flame Blade is to undead creatures.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

The next moment, Gu Yu, who was still in a ethereal state, let out a shrill scream.

His entire chest was pierced by the sword blade, and golden flames ignited at his chest, determined to purify him on the spot.

This is the Holy Spirit's fire purifying impurities!
