Douluo: The Peerless King Dong'er's Restarted Life

Chapter 266 The Opening of the Mingdu Tournament (Part 2) (3,000 words)

"Oh!"

With a dull thud, the young man from the Dragon Slayer Sect on the competition stage suddenly lay on the ground, trembling all over.

The members of the Dragon Slayer Sect in the waiting area all stood up abruptly, completely bewildered by what had happened on the competition stage.

From the audience's perspective, Meng Hongchen did almost nothing; the young man from the Dragon Slaying Sect released two soul skills, and then suddenly collapsed.

“Next,” Meng Hongchen said proudly.

The referee quickly examined the young man from the Dragon Slaying Sect, confirmed Meng Hongchen's victory, and then looked at Meng Hongchen, saying, "You won, but your martial soul has a poison attribute. Quickly detoxify him to avoid endangering his life."

Meng Hongchen looked directly at the waiting area of ​​the Dragon Slaying Sect and said loudly, "If you want me to cure him, you must guarantee that he will not participate in the team battles later. I can control my poison and it will not harm his life, but he will probably have to stay in bed for several years afterward."

The captain of the Dragon Slayer Sect immediately agreed to Meng Hongchen's request, and only then did Meng Hongchen withdraw the deadly poison from the young man from the Dragon Slayer Sect on the competition stage.

In the rest area of ​​Shrek Academy, Wang Yan, who knew the most about martial souls, slowly said, "Her martial soul is probably a special one, the Zhu Qing Ice Toad. Her strength lies entirely in her poison, and... she is also a Soul Emperor."

"The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy will likely be a major problem for us. Bei Bei, even though you've already reached the Soul Saint level, you can't be careless!"

"Yes, I know." Beibei nodded, but inwardly she didn't think much of it.

If it were the old him, perhaps it would be like this, but now he is terrifyingly strong!
Throughout her life, Beibei was never inferior to anyone!

However, Wang Yan's lecture was not over yet. After commenting on Meng Hongchen, Wang Yan began to comment on the Dragon Slaying Sect: "Many sects with a long history and heritage have their own unique strengths. Compared to the teaching of Soul Master Academy, sects are stronger in some aspects. Just like the Body Sect's development of Body Martial Soul is far beyond what our Shrek Academy can match."

"This competition is going to be more difficult than the last one... Cai Tou."

"Huh? Teacher Wang." He Caitou, who was suddenly called out, was taken aback and looked at Wang Yan.

"...During the team competition, the first thing you should do after you go on stage is to make cigars, one for each person." Wang Yan spoke slowly, his voice even trembling slightly.

After all, Shrek Academy's results were disqualified in the previous Soul Fighting Tournament due to cheating.

Even if preparing cigars in advance for a team competition could still be excused, the scene of Shrek Academy using cigars for the first time was when Xu Sanshi smoked them in a one-on-one elimination match, which is irrefutable evidence.

This time, the home field was the Sun Moon Empire again, and Wang Yan didn't want Shrek Academy to be criticized again. So he could only have He Caitou make cigars on the spot after the team match, and didn't even dare to prepare for the team match in advance.

Fortunately, Shrek Academy had specifically trained He Caitou in making cigars.

On the competition stage, Meng Hongchen had already begun his battle against Feng Shen, the second member of the Dragon Slayer Sect.

Feng Shen is also a five-ring Soul King with standard Soul Rings, and his Martial Soul is the Lightning Falcon, which is known for its speed.

After releasing his martial spirit, Feng Shen immediately flew into the sky, hoping to avoid Meng Hongchen's poisonous attack.

But in any case, he was going to come down and attack Meng Hongchen; he couldn't just waste time here.

After being strengthened by Wang Dong'er, Meng Hongchen's strength was no longer that of an ordinary Soul Emperor, and his combat experience was also quite rich. He immediately released his third Soul Skill, Ice Refraction.

On the ice-covered competition stage, a second Meng Hongchen suddenly appeared.

Feng Shen, who was in the air, was slightly surprised to see Meng Hongchen's clone suddenly appear, but he immediately began to prepare his attack.

The first and third spirit rings shone brightly, and Feng Shen's wings grew a foot larger, with purple light swirling around them, becoming increasingly deep and even encompassing a surrounding area.

Then, Feng Shen's fifth spirit ring lit up. The black ten-thousand-year spirit ring transformed into rings of light that surrounded his body, making Feng Shen's entire body appear distorted and indistinct in the light.

Meng Hongchen cultivates close-range soul tools, but that doesn't mean she can't use long-range soul tools. However, facing Feng Shen's charging up of power high in the sky, she couldn't be sure whether he was fishing for her.

Ordinary long-range soul tools cannot penetrate Feng Shen's defenses, while using a charged soul cannon may result in being ambushed by the opponent during the charging process.

Meng Hongchen could only calm down, take out a soul-guided ray, and tentatively shoot it at Feng Shen, but it was blocked by the purple light.

Meng Hongchen picked up a Soul-Guided Cannon directly in her hand, deciding to take a gamble.

Thus, the scene instantly became one where both above and below were charging up their power, one using their own soul skill and the other using a soul tool. Feng Shen's skill had a very long charging time, so long that Meng Hongchen's Focused Soul Cannon had already fully charged up, while Feng Shen was still not finished.

Then, Meng Hongchen stopped holding back and unleashed a cannonball formed from soul power from the muzzle of the Soul Guidance Cannon, heading towards Feng Shen.

At the critical moment, Feng Shen finally finished charging up his power, and his whole body had transformed into a giant purple electric falcon. Just as he was about to swoop down, he saw a ball of white light rushing towards him.

Feng Shen felt a chill run down his spine, but with the arrow already on the bowstring, he had no choice but to launch a forced attack at the cost of his life.

The purple giant falcon streaked across the sky, narrowly avoiding the soul power cannonball. However, its speed was drastically reduced as a result, making its almost full-force attack feel incredibly awkward.

At the crucial moment, Meng Hongchen's ice refraction finally came into play.

On the ice surface she conjured, the refraction of ice allowed Meng Hongchen to change her position through the refraction of light and shadow. Although it was not a soul skill with no wind-up, such as instant teleportation, it was still quite powerful.

Feng Shen's attack originally had a locking ability, but it was interrupted by Meng Hongchen's Soul Guidance Cannon, so he not only failed to lock on, but also failed to take advantage of his speed.

Meng Hongchen's Ice Toad Poison also took effect on Feng Shen at close range.

“Let’s concede and cure him. He won’t participate in the team competition,” the captain of the Dragon Slayer Sect said immediately.

Seeing Meng Hongchen win two consecutive matches, the people of the Sun Moon Empire cheered, while the representatives of various sects looked solemn.

Generally speaking, soul masters from sects look down on soul tools more than soul masters from soul master academies.

However, the combination of Meng Hongchen's powerful Soul Master strength and Soul Tool just now, even though it was only a brief moment, was enough for them to get a glimpse of the whole picture.

They may look down on those Soul Masters who rely solely on Soul Tools, but what about someone like Meng Hongchen who uses Soul Tools to enhance the strength of powerful Soul Masters?
Next, Meng Hongchen won four more matches in a row. When the captain of the Dragon Slayer Sect went on stage, in order to ensure that he would not get injured and affect the later matches, and also because he needed to replenish his soul power, he chose to voluntarily concede defeat and did not complete the feat of defeating seven opponents in a row.

Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy ultimately won the match against Dragon Slayer Sect at the cost of having two players participate, and skipped the team competition, earning a total of eleven points.

As the opening match, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy undoubtedly set a good example, bringing a smile to Xu Tianran's face on the podium.

Although Jing Hongchen has not explicitly expressed his support for him, Xu Tianran believes that Jing Hongchen's agreement to watch the Soul Fighting Tournament today means that he has something to say.

Although this must also involve the relationship between Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, their grandchildren.

However, Xu Tianran was wrong this time. Jing Hongchen came to watch the competition not to see how his grandchildren would show off, but to see how Wang Dong'er would show off and what Wang Dong'er was planning to do on this stage under the spotlight.

Because the preliminary rounds are elimination rounds, the subsequent matches will be fierce and intense battles unless one team has absolute dominance, and there will even be some extremely brutal scenes.

After all, even referees can't say they'll never make a mistake or misjudge a match. If they intervene prematurely and the outcome becomes uncertain, neither side will be satisfied, and it's not good to start a new match. So they often have to be a step behind in rescuing someone.

The Body Sect team also made their appearance on the first day of the competition, but they used the identity of the Snow Demon Sect. Vina and Mu Xue were among them, and they nodded slightly to Wang Dong'er before they came out.

Shrek Academy did not play on the first day, but instead played on the second day. However, Wang Yan did not plan to let Bei Bei play so early, but instead planned to save it for after the preliminaries.

Although Bei Bei was anxious, she also knew that her Soul Saint level strength was Shrek Academy's absolute trump card, and she could not easily make a move, or even easily go on the field.

Upon returning to the Mingyue Hotel, Xuanzi immediately convened a meeting in the main conference room.

“According to intelligence, the Body Sect is also participating in this competition.” Xuanzi’s words immediately caused everyone to frown.

Xuanzi did not appear in his true form, but instead appeared casually alongside the Shrek Academy team wearing a mask.

The official leaders of Shrek Academy were Wang Yan and another teacher from the inner academy.

Originally, Xuanzi planned to have Wang Yan and Han Ruoruo lead the team together. However, Han Ruoruo and Wu Ming went missing in the Star Dou Great Forest, so they had to find another inner court teacher of the eighth ring to lead the team with Wang Yan.

All members of the Body Sect are Body Soul Masters, and among everyone present, only Xuanzi has the deepest understanding of Body Martial Souls.

"The strength of a Soul Master with a True Body Spirit is different from that of an ordinary Soul Master. If they awaken their second awakening, they may even have the ability to fight against opponents of higher levels. Children, if you encounter a Soul Master with a True Body Spirit, you must be careful. Of course, very few Soul Masters with a True Body Spirit can fight against opponents of higher levels after their second awakening, and our Shrek Academy is not bad either, so you can do your best. Wang Yan, as the team leader, you must provide tactical guidance to the children."
