Douluo: Lord of Arms

Chapter 175 Battle
"Ok?"

An hour later, sensing familiar auras emanating from afar, Lin Xingyu slightly raised his head and looked over.

During the riots, the density of soul beasts in the Spirit Ascension Platform was extremely high. In the past, when he went to the Spirit Ascension Platform in other cities, even if he searched with all his might for an hour, he could only find a few soul beasts.

However, during the riots, you can basically catch several thousand-year-old soul beasts just by wandering around.

Now, almost everyone in his team has personally hunted down soul beasts that have been around for thousands of years.

"Everyone, follow me!"

After Lin Xingyu finished speaking, he quickly walked towards the distance, and the others in the group didn't say anything.

The two with stronger perception abilities immediately released their soul skills to scout their surroundings.

They then followed closely in Lin Xingyu's footsteps and walked forward.

……

Tang Wulin and his six companions were walking cautiously through the great forest.

Tang Wulin carefully released his martial spirit, doing his best to survey the surrounding environment.

Although there were no Soul Masters with strong reconnaissance abilities in the team, Tang Wulin could barely fill in with his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul in this vast forest.

At this moment, Xie Xie was wandering around the perimeter, while Tang Wulin stood at the front of the group, leading the group forward cautiously.

The group was quite strong, but they weren't strong enough to ignore the dangers inside the intermediate-level Spirit Ascension Platform.

The group was extremely careful when hunting spirit beasts, only targeting lone ones and avoiding large groups.

It's not that we can't win, it's just that if we expend too much energy, it's easy for others to steal our kills in this kind of place.

Being more careful this way, although slower, is definitely safe enough.

"Watch out, someone's coming from ahead," Tang Wulin suddenly said, glancing in one direction.

Several people were rapidly approaching them.

Upon hearing his words, the group quickly dispersed.

Wu Siduo and Ye Xinglan walked to the front. Xu Xiaoyan and Gu Yue walked to the center of the group in perfect unison. Xu Lizhi watched the distance nervously.

As the approaching group drew closer, and sensing the familiar fluctuations of soul power, everyone present secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"team leader!"

Xie Xie revealed his figure while saying with some surprise.

Good luck!

Although the intermediate-level Spirit Ascension Platform is a simulated space, it is not small, especially since it is the Spirit Ascension Platform of the Spirit Transmission Tower headquarters.

The simulated mixing zone is about 20-30% the size of the original Starry Sky Forest mixing zone.

Scattering hundreds of people into such a vast area, for them to meet each other in such a short time, can only be described as a stroke of luck.

Lin Xingyu couldn't help but smile: "We're really lucky. I thought it would take several hours to find you, but I didn't expect to find you so quickly."

After entering the Spirit Ascension Platform, Lin Xingyu kept his senses at maximum. Before entering the platform, he also secretly did something to help him better identify the direction of his target.

But it was still quite lucky that they found them within an hour.

"Let's go! We'll continue the hunt."

Lin Xingyu took over command of the two teams and merged them into one.

With the addition of Tang Wulin and his six companions, the hunting efficiency was even higher this time.

Although Lin Xingyu was still the main force in the operation, he no longer needed to take care of the others.

The other members of the team can also cooperate with him to make hunting soul beasts more efficient and consume less soul power. In addition, the team members can take turns to rest in order to quickly recover their soul power.

Although Lin Xingyu is strong, he lacks some control abilities, which makes him vulnerable when facing a large number of soul beasts, especially those with various bizarre abilities.

Although he was out of control, he still had a hard time playing. Now, with the cooperation of his teammates, he can take the initiative and unleash his full output potential.

The efficiency of the killing was terrifying, so while most of the other students were still playing PUBG.

This large group turned the game into a scoring spree. Everyone in the team had already completed the basic objectives, with each person personally hunting down a soul beast with a total age of over ten thousand years.

During this process, Lin Xingyu has hunted soul beasts that are over 50,000 years old, which is equivalent to him gaining 5,000 years of spiritual power.

On average, each of his spirit rings gained a thousand years of improvement.

"It's great! It's so great!"

Xie Xie couldn't help but shout loudly. Compared to the sneaky tactics he had just used, he had finally found a familiar feeling.

That was the joy of following Lin Xingyu to score points on the Elementary Spirit Ascension Platform back in Donghai City.

His voice made several women in the group roll their eyes at him.

Noticing the gazes from the group, Xie Xie chuckled and said nonchalantly, "This feeling is just too wonderful, I'm a little out of line!"

"If you don't pay any attention to your appearance, you'll probably never find a girlfriend," Xu Lizhi couldn't help but say.

Xie Xie rolled his eyes, stared at him for a moment, and didn't say anything.

Xu Lizhi felt as if he had been hit hard and fell silent instantly.

Lin Xingyu also felt that this kind of fast scoring was quite enjoyable.

In his eyes, these soul beasts he caught were not soul beasts at all; they were clearly clumps of walking spiritual energy.

When I traveled through the Spirit Ascension Platforms in other cities, the density of spirit beasts was quite low, and it took a long time for them to replenish after being killed.

Right now, we're encountering spirit beasts one after another here, so there's no need to worry about their numbers at all.

Furthermore, this is Shrek City, the headquarters of the Spirit Tower, and the spiritual energy in the Spirit Ascension Platform here is no less than in other places.

The Spirit Pagoda invests a considerable amount of spiritual energy here, and there won't be any issues with excessive spiritual energy consumption requiring replenishment over time; the spiritual energy will be replenished immediately.

After glancing at everyone in the group, Lin Xingyu continued, "The basic tasks are complete. Now, everyone should allocate spiritual energy reasonably. Prioritize the support classes first. Xiao Yan, take care of yours first."

"No problem!" Xu Xiaoyan was pleasantly surprised.

……

Time passes slowly.

Twelve hours passed in the blink of an eye.

Those who had been brought in by Lin Xingyu left the Spirit Ascension Platform after completing their assessments. The team suddenly became ten people. Xu Xiaoyan, Xu Lizhi, Xie Xie, Zhang Yangzi, and Wang Jinxi had all met their spiritual power requirements but remained with the team.

During the riotous period, battles took place at the Spirit Ascension Platform every moment. Many Soul Masters, despite winning battles, were ambushed by the other six due to their weakened state.

At this moment, Lin Xingyu and his group had just dealt with a group of Flame Lions when they were targeted by some other Soul Masters.

Standing before them were five Soul Emperors, arranged in a crescent shape, slowly approaching them.

The eyes of the five Soul Emperors gleamed with greed as they stared intently at Lin Xingyu, who was at the very front of the group.

The spiritual energy shining above his head was dazzlingly bright! A simple estimate suggested it possessed over five thousand years of spiritual energy!

Thanks to their powerful physiques, the group's hunting activities were basically never stopped.

The other members of the group also had different kinds of spiritual energy above their heads, ranging from several hundred years to a thousand years old.

After a quick glance around, the five Soul Emperors instantly understood the situation.

A group of Flame Demon Lions lay around, rare social spirit beasts, and the leading Lion King had at least ten thousand years of cultivation, in addition to the hundreds of other lions around it.

The five were not surprised that they possessed such spiritual power.

The Soul Emperor in the very center had six Soul Rings, three purple and three black. With his Martial Soul infused, he resembled a golden lion. Suppressing the greed in his eyes, he stepped forward and spoke.

"Little ones! We only need your spiritual power. After just finishing such a battle, how much soul power do you have left?"

"As long as the people in the middle voluntarily transfer their spiritual power to us, you can leave."

As he spoke, he glanced at the five black spirit rings on Lin Xingyu's body, a hint of apprehension creeping into his eyes.

"Captain, what should we do!" Tang Wulin's tone was somewhat urgent. Five Soul Emperors were enough to pose a threat to them, especially since they had just been in a battle.

Everyone else also turned their attention to Lin Xingyu.

Looking at his team members, he found that they were all quite relaxed. They had already completed the basic tasks of the assessment, and some of them had even reached the limit of their spiritual power, so it didn't matter whether they went out or not.

Furthermore, Lin Xingyu's previous record of dominating the Spirit Ascension Platform gave them enough confidence to fight even five Soul Emperors.

Ten against five, the advantage is in my hands!

"Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi on the far left, the Soul Emperor with the Eagle Martial Soul! Go all out! Wu Siduo, the one with the Thunder attribute! Intercept for a moment! Ye Xinglan, Ice Spear, Tang Wulin and Gu Yue on the right, the two intercept for a moment, Xiao Yan and Xie Xie cooperate with them!"

Lin Xingyu quickly and concisely issued a series of orders.

As he gave the orders, Lin Xingyu rushed towards the Soul Emperor in the center, who was shaped like a golden lion, at an extremely fast speed.

He was the leader among them and the one with the strongest aura among the five, but in Lin Xingyu's eyes, he was the one he could deal with the easiest.

Upon meeting them, Lin Xingyu immediately recognized their martial spirits and instantly devised a fighting strategy.

For Lin Xingyu now, taking down the opponents is not difficult; the difficulty lies in preventing them from escaping.

If the five people split up and run away, he can at most kill three or four, and one or two might escape.

As long as his teammates can cooperate and hold off the opponents, he is confident that he can take them down one by one.

Five Soul Emperors, nothing more!

As soon as Lin Xingyu gave the order, the others carried it out without any hesitation.

Roar!
cracking!
With a dragon's roar and an eagle's cry, Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi instantly merged into one.

With a pair of enormous bone dragon claws extending, a black dragon over ten meters long descended from the dense darkness.

Its pair of wings on its back blotted out the sky, reaching a full fifteen meters in length when fully extended! And the head of the bone dragon shone with a sinister light.

Roar!
With a long, drawn-out dragon roar, it charged directly towards the outermost Soul Emperor whose martial soul was an eagle!

Both were instantly plunged into endless darkness.

Roar!
A deep tiger roar resounded, and a huge tiger engulfed in purple flames appeared on the spot.

The series of unexpected events startled the five Soul Emperors on the opposing side.

The three people opposite disappeared, and then a dragon and a tiger appeared in the same spot, which shocked me.

I randomly picked a team, intending to rob them of some spiritual energy, but suddenly two martial soul fusion skills popped up. What kind of crazy luck is this?

After eating several steamed buns thrown by Xu Lizhi, Tang Wulin, with golden spirit rings shining on his body, rushed towards the Soul Emperor on the far right, with Xie Xie following quietly behind him.

As Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi grew older, their Martial Soul Fusion Skill became more coordinated, and their resistance to external forces also increased.

This is also why the two of them dared to stay by Tang Wulin's side for a short time.

Ye Xinglan's four purple soul rings lit up one after another. Facing such an opponent, she naturally dared not hold back, and her sharp sword intent was directly condensed on the tip of her sword.

Gu Yue was condensing elemental power, and Xu Xiaoyan was radiating a dazzling golden light.

The sudden outburst caught them somewhat off guard, but having cultivated to the Soul Emperor level, they naturally possessed considerable combat experience.

The Netherworld White Tiger and the Dark Demon Dragon Eagle, each targeting their own opponents, dared not slacken their efforts in the slightest; the power of their Martial Soul Fusion Technique was enough to make them take them seriously.

Ye Xinglan faced an opponent whose martial soul was the Frost Spear. After eating several steamed buns, Ye Xinglan's aura reached its limit, and the longsword in her hand was like falling starlight.

The Soul Emperor, whose martial soul was the Frost Spear, had his third and fourth soul rings light up simultaneously. As he thrust out his spear, it instantly grew three inches longer, unleashing a series of spear beams.

The two collided, the sword energy bursting forth and the icy blue spear light colliding, something that surprised both sides.

The sword energy and the spear light actually canceled each other out, but the force generated by the collision caused Ye Xinglan to take a few steps back.

Facing the Soul Emperor, whose spirit is the Golden Lion, located at the very center.

At that moment, Lin Xingyu took action, merging with the power of the heavens and man, and simultaneously lighting up his first and second soul rings.

The weapon in his hand instantly burst into flames of amber color.

The Soul Emperor opposite Lin Xingyu's expression changed drastically in an instant.

The pressure from both his body and mind instantly fell on him. Every action not only consumed a lot of soul power and physical strength, but even his own mental power was suppressed.

It's even difficult for them to stick their bodies out.

His expression changed drastically in an instant. He frantically urged his soul power and lit up his first, third, and fifth soul rings.

His entire body suddenly swelled up.

At that moment, Lin Xingyu's attack arrived.

With a swift thrust of his long spear, he struck the opponent's arm that was blocking his way.
