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

Chapter 290 First Battle Victory, But If Winning
In the rest area, Wang Yan frowned.

He had a feeling that something was going to happen during the game.

But He Caitou is also a Soul Emperor and a Soul Master. As long as he is careful, there should be no risk of anything going wrong.

Where exactly could the problem lie? Wang Yan frowned in deep thought.

Buho!

Wang Yan slapped his thigh.

Shrek Academy's fighting strength is uneven!
But now that the match has already started, Wang Yan can't rush over to remind him. He can only look at Bei Bei, hoping that he can realize the problem and not force himself to win.

However, now it's He Caitou's turn to compete, who is relatively more effective against Jili. It remains to be seen whether He Caitou can perform perfectly and ideally defeat his opponent without taking any damage.

Wang Yan looked towards the arena and prayed in his heart for the Shrek Academy members to Tang San, the God of the Sea.

On the competition stage, He Caitou seemed to be in good condition. Facing the evil soul master who might have strange methods, he did not use the soul-guided turret combat strategy.

Besides, this tactic is only suitable for team battles or when facing opponents of lower level. He certainly can't be a sitting duck when facing an evil spirit master.

"I have a thin cigar." He Caitou made a thin cigar, quickly put it in his mouth, and at the same time released a number of soul-guided cannons.

He Caitou took a deep drag on his thin cigar, and the muzzle of the Soul Guidance Cannon emitted a burst of white light, aiming at Jili.

Even today, He Caitou still easily recalls the time when Huo Yuhao's mental detection was helpful, the feeling of not having to use his brain at all, which is truly unforgettable.

boom!
Several shots were fired, but all of them hit empty air. As a fellow Soul Emperor, Jili's Martial Soul, the Brain-Eating Beast, was also quite fast. Furthermore, Cai Tou's shots were not locked on, so dodging them was indeed easy for Jili.

Gilly's short stature had now become bloated, and his black cloak had long since been torn apart.

His first and third spirit rings were also glowing. His upper body was covered with blue-gray scales, but his lower limbs had become shorter. His head had turned into a triangular shape, and his lips were slightly turned outward, revealing a set of fangs.

Because of the head's deformation, Jili's facial expression was no longer discernible. The scales on its face were extremely ferocious, and only its small eyes were staring at He Caitou, sending chills down one's spine.

After dodging He Caitou's shells, Jili stomped on the ground, and his short limbs instantly grew larger. He stepped on the metal floor with a loud thud, even creating a shockwave that rushed straight towards He Caitou.

This wave of air, the same color as the jewel's blue-gray scales and carrying a salty, fishy smell, vaguely resembled the mouth of a giant beast as it swept over.

He Caitou was quick, immediately releasing a level six soul-guided shield.

But at this moment, Geely's figure also got closer to He Caitou.

For a Soul Master like He Caitou who relies on a remote Soul Tool for combat, it is difficult to resist once someone gets close.

If it were just ordinary Soul Masters, it wouldn't matter, but Jili, an evil Soul Master who is also a Soul Emperor, definitely has the ability to severely injure He Caitou. He Caitou is also aware of this, so he immediately poured his soul power into the propulsion soul tool behind him.

Using the power of the soul-guided device, He Caitou advanced instead of retreating, actively moving closer to Jili while secretly accumulating energy.

A cold glint flashed in Jili's small eyes. He opened his lips, and a purplish-black tongue shot out like an arrow straight at He Caitou's forehead.

Because of Wang Yan's intelligence, He Caitou knew that Jili would use his tongue to attack, but at this moment he was still subconsciously startled by this somewhat strange and sudden attack.

He Caitou's level-six soul-guiding shield wasn't closed, but because it was positioned facing forward, there was no space to attack. He could only forcefully move it to the side using his propulsion soul-guiding device. "Snap!" The purplish-black tongue lashed out at He Caitou's level-six soul-guiding shield, instantly piercing through it. If He Caitou hadn't dodged in time, he would have been struck by the tongue.

Given the power displayed by Jili's tongue, if it had struck his forehead directly, he would probably have died on the spot.

It was obvious that Jili knew where his disadvantage lay and that he absolutely could not let himself be outmaneuvered, so he immediately moved close to He Caitou to prevent He Caitou from using his remote soul tool to suppress him.

He Caitou quickly pulled out a black box and fired at Jili.

In the rest area, Huo Yuhao looked at the black box that He Caitou had taken out and immediately said, "That looks like a soul tool modified from Tang Sect hidden weapons."

When Huo Yuhao was making soul tools, he sometimes used the ideas from making hidden weapons. However, after being influenced by Wang Dong'er's trendy ideas, he was no longer so narrow-minded as to insist on making soul tool versions of hidden weapons.

"I guess Fan Yu and He Caitou did it together," Wang Dong'er said casually.

That's not surprising. Even without Huo Yuhao, and with her, Xiao Xiao, and Jiang Nannan, the Shrek Seven Devils have all learned martial arts like Ghost Shadow Steps and Jade Hand, though they don't seem very proficient. But it's obvious who taught them.

Since that's the case, bringing Fan Yu in to study hidden weapons isn't a big deal.

On the competition stage, the battle between He Caitou and Jili continued. Although Jili closed the distance, He Caitou managed to pull back and successfully hit Jili.

The soul tool fired by He Caitou was called Thunder Cannon, which could fire thunder cannonballs. Upon hitting the target, it would cause lightning damage. Jili was paralyzed by the electric shock. Just as He Caitou was about to press his advantage, Jili suddenly shook its head and its long tongue shot out again.

Although Jili's tongue is soft, it is incredibly fast and powerful, with an absurdly strong piercing ability that can even pierce through a level six soul guide shield.

It can be said that no matter how far the battle develops, once someone is stabbed by Gilly's tongue, it basically means the end of the match, and being stabbed can even be life-threatening.

Although He Caitou didn't only have one level-six soul guide shield, he certainly couldn't just let it go to waste. He quickly deployed his flying soul guide behind him and was about to fly directly upwards.

But Jili's purplish-black tongue lashed out at He Caitou's ankle from an odd angle.

If that stab had landed, He Caitou might have even lost a leg.

He gritted his teeth, and a golden light flashed on Cai Tou's body.

The level six soul guide shield was no longer consumed, but the more precious level five invincible shield was sacrificed.

Under the protection of the invincible shield, He Caitou finally flew into the sky. Then, more soul tools appeared all over his body, while the flying soul tool on his back could not bear the burden. He Caitou had no choice but to increase his soul power output again to maintain stability.

Ultimately, under He Caitou's long-range offensive that secured air superiority, Jili had no choice but to concede defeat. He Caitou also exhausted a lot of his soul power. After Jili announced his defeat, he directly abandoned the soul power supply to the flying soul tool and crashed down from the sky.

Zheng Zhan cursed under his breath, but he had no choice but to go and catch the big guy He Caitou, lest he actually fall to the ground.

That little brat clearly knew exactly what he was doing before he dared to do it.

Despite their initial victory, the Shrek Academy students did not celebrate.

Although they won the game, did they really win?
He Caitou's soul power was greatly depleted, and he even had one of his invincible shields replaced.

It's a feeling of winning but not really winning...
