Douluo: Lord of Arms

Chapter 198 Dai Yun'er

"It's actually this little princess." Xu Xiaoyan's voice was full of surprise.

Lin Xingyu was also somewhat surprised. After the attack by the Green Skull and the conflict with Dai Yun'er a few days ago, he believed that his information had already been presented to Dai Tianling and other high-ranking members of Star Luo.

As a result, he ended up facing Princess Dai Yun'er directly in the first match of the round-robin tournament.

This left him somewhat puzzled for a moment.

Looking at the rankings on the panel, the battles of other players were also refreshed. There were no direct matches against the Eight Heavenly Kings. The duo competition was scheduled for the second day, the team battle for the third day, and then the solo competition.

The other opponents, apart from Lin Xingyu who was Tang Wulin, whose name I can't recall at the moment, were probably all small fry and not worth paying attention to.

Tang Wulin's opponent is Sima Xian, whose martial soul is likely the Bull Horn Dragon, a descendant of a true dragon and an antelope.

They were just giving away points against Tang Wulin; there was nothing to pay attention to.

In the afternoon, when it was his turn to compete...

"Hello everyone, I'm Fang'er. Now, please welcome the contestant from the second match of the third group of the round-robin tournament, stage number twelve."

Lin Xingyu stood up, listening to the cheers for Dai Yun'er filling the air, and slowly walked towards the arena step by step.

The number of people is boundless, and the entire scene had more than 300,000 spectators. As a national goddess, Dai Yun'er's support here is naturally beyond question.

Even though the various arenas drew a lot of attention, when Dai Yun'er's match was held here, the vast majority of people turned their attention to this place.

The scene was filled with cheers and support for Dai Yun'er, as well as condemnation of Lin Xingyu. Although most of them did not know Lin Xingyu, they only needed to know that his opponent was their princess.

"Who is this person?"

"I don't know, it doesn't seem to be from our mainland."

"Look! Look! It's the little princess coming up! The princess will surely win!"

"What's the point of just shouting slogans? I've bet on Princess, so I'm guaranteed to make it into the top 64."

"........."

Lin Xingyu listened quietly to the discussions around him as he slowly walked onto the arena.

The arena was a 500-meter-long ring with a 200-meter-high protective shield. If it weren't for the huge soul-guided display screen and the dedicated commentators, the scene would be quite impressive.

Ordinary people come here just to watch the spectacle; at most, they see the dazzling lights, and if they sit a little further away, they can't even see anyone.

On the other side, Dai Yun'er stared intently at Lin Xingyu as he walked up, her arms crossed.

"This match features our beloved Princess Dai Yun'er against Lin Xingyu, the captain from Shrek Academy. I'm sure they'll put on a fantastic show for us."

As soon as the commentator uttered his words, the entire stadium erupted in shouts and boos.

It is said that being condemned by thousands will lead to an untimely death, and Lin Xingyu is now truly experiencing that kind of pressure.

As he carefully reflected on the changes in his mindset under this environment, he suddenly felt a unique sensation.

Dai Yun'er looked at Lin Xingyu across from her with a burning hatred.

Not only did she make a huge fool of herself before, but she also received a scolding from her father when she got back.

She has hardly ever suffered any injustice in her life.

During the match, she wanted to say something tough, but then she remembered her father's analysis of Lin Xingyu's strength.

I knew I had a very low chance of winning.

If you make a lot of threats and then lose, wouldn't you look even more like a clown?

Dai Yun'er became even angrier.

I hate him and want revenge, but I probably can't beat him or even curse him, so I hate him even more.

For a time, Dai Yun'er was caught in this cycle.

His anger was on the verge of escalating.

His face turned red, and he tried to say something harsh several times, but couldn't get the words out.

Looking at Dai Yun'er, whose face was flushed red in the distance, Lin Xingyu was completely baffled, wondering what was wrong with her.

"I didn't expect that we would run into each other in the very first round. I thought we would meet at least later." Lin Xingyu decided to speak first.

"It's just luck. The draw for the competition was quite fair. No one would cheat in such a glorious competition," Dai Yun'er said somewhat dejectedly.

Lin Xingyu was speechless for a moment. You'd have to ask your ancestors about that...

"Both sides, get ready!" The referee's voice interrupted their conversation and reminded them to prepare.

"Game start!"

As soon as the referee's voice fell, Dai Yun'er rushed out like lightning, and four spirit rings, three purple and one black, gradually rose on her body.

This is considered a pretty good soul ring configuration for this era.

Leaving behind a trail of afterimages, Dai Yun'er seemed to move as if there were no air resistance, her figure only covering half of the arena.

Cat ears appeared on her head, her figure became quite slender, she was surrounded by layers of dark light, and ten sharp blades sprang from her ten fingers.

Twin-spirit Soul Masters of this era are indeed much more miserable than those of other eras, as they are subject to the additional limitations imposed on their spirits by their physical bodies.

Regardless, having twin martial souls has its own unique advantages. The two martial souls and eight soul rings brought her a huge boost.

Not only did it make her spiritual power extremely close to the Spirit Abyss Realm at this age, but it also greatly improved her physical body and soul power.

Dai Yun'er was even confident that she could break through to the Soul King level within a year!

A sixteen-year-old Soul King!

Don't think that having a mental strength close to the Spirit Abyss Realm is nothing to mention. Among the younger generation, only Lin Xingyu and Gu Yue have reached the Spirit Abyss Realm in terms of mental strength.

One of them had never been imprisoned, and the other was a reincarnation of the Dragon King...

None of the others.

Dai Yun'er was initially quite arrogant because of her own strength, but when she saw Lin Xingyu's martial soul possessing her, her mind went blank for a moment.

black.

black.

black.

black.

black.

Five black spirit rings floated silently on Lin Xingyu's body.

Who am I? Where am I?

I'm fighting this monster?
I know he is a Soul King, but no one told me he is a Soul King with five ten-thousand-year Soul Rings!

Lin Xingyu, clad in crimson-gold armor and holding a long spear, said nothing, but simply stood there, exuding an aura as high as the heavens.

"Doukai?"

Sitting in the audience, Dai Yunling looked at Lin Xingyu below with some surprise.

"No, it's just a martial spirit. This kind of martial spirit is rare," Enci explained from the side.

Enci then explained, "It should be a humanoid martial spirit; armor and weapons are all part of the martial spirit."

Dai Tianling nodded knowingly. No matter the time, humanoid martial souls were known for their power.

Even the most down-on-his-luck angel has at least a high-level martial soul.

Dai Yun'er was already feeling considerable pressure, a pressure she had only ever felt from Long Yue.

No! It was even greater than the pressure on Long Yue.

Long Yue was several years older than her, while the monster in front of her was the same size as her, or even smaller.

How do you cultivate yourself?
At this time, the audience seats were also mostly silent.

He didn't need to say or do anything; his five ten-thousand-year spirit rings were enough to suppress everything. "No matter what, every time I see the captain's spirit rings, I feel it's outrageous. How can there be such a big difference between people?" Xie Xie couldn't help but complain.

The others didn't answer because they also thought it was a bit outrageous.

While nodding, Tang Wulin silently communicated with the divine consciousness of Old Tang within his body.

"Old Tang, can't I really break the fifth seal in my body right now?"

After a moment, Old Tang replied, "It's still a little short. Forcing it wouldn't solve the problem too badly, but it would still be quite dangerous."

Tang Wulin fell silent.

Compared to the original timeline, although he has completed the second awakening of his martial soul, he lacks the help of Mu Ye's pile of medicinal herbs, so his physical fitness has not improved as much.

Although he obtained some pills from Lin Xingyu and did some research on his own, he was still a little short of what he needed.

He has already broken through to the Soul Master level in terms of soul power, which is quite fast, but he is still far behind others.

The only way to rapidly increase his strength now is to continue breaking the seal on the Golden Dragon King.

Seemingly sensing Tang Wulin's intentions, Old Tang said, "Don't be impatient. Proceed step by step. After you break two more seals, I'll teach you some new things. Then your soul power will increase rapidly and you won't be any worse than them."

"A quick improvement in the short term is nothing; the one who laughs last is the winner."

Dai Yun'er took a deep breath and rushed forward, her whole body like a streak of light.

At the same time, her eyes also emitted a deep blue halo.

Mental interference, mental detection, group weakness!
Lingmou unleashed all three of her soul skills simultaneously.

As for the soul impact, Dai Yun'er dared not use it.

The combination of Soul Impact and Purple Demon Eye is definitely powerful enough to deal damage.

However, this move is an attack that strikes directly at the soul, and the backlash also affects one's own soul.

She knew how powerful the opponent's mental strength was; if she fired, the opponent might be fine, but she didn't know how long she would be lying in bed.

While mental interference is also an offensive capability, it is more of a circumvention that does not cause backlash and is therefore safer.

Whether the group weakness effect is useful or not, just apply it to the enemy first.

At the same time, her first three spirit rings lit up simultaneously.

Netherworld Thrust, Netherworld Hundred Claws, Netherworld Slash! Fusion Soul Skills!

Lin Xingyu stood still, his body surging with terrifying blood energy, like a plume of smoke rising into the sky.

It is like a furnace that incinerates everything, impervious to all evil and keeping away from ghosts and gods!
What group weakness, what mental interference? Sorry, let me tell you about the power of my Qi and blood!
The mental-type soul skill released by Dai Yun'er was completely incinerated the moment it approached Lin Xingyu.

"What a terrifying power of blood!"

Enci couldn't help but exclaim in amazement as she watched Lin Xingyu's performance on the field.

"Is he a disciple of the Body Sect?" Dai Tianling asked.

Enci shook his head and said, "Even the disciples of the Body Sect generally don't have such terrifying blood and qi."

A teenager's vital energy and blood are not yet fully developed, and their body is still growing and developing. It is not until they are about 25 or 26 years old that all the tissues in their body are fully developed.

The period before truly reaching the peak state of the human body is the time when Qi and blood grow the fastest.

Even after reaching their peak, there is still a period of time for their Qi and blood to grow.

If it were simply because the Body Sect could grant such power of qi and blood at the age of fifteen, the Body Sect would have long been the number one sect in the world.

Lin Xingyu had always intended to hide the fact that he came from the Body Sect while he was still developing and before it attracted too much attention.

It's safer to be transparent when there's no one paying attention.

After he became famous, he began to promote his teacher vigorously, nipping the danger in the bud.

Even if you pretend to be weak to outsmart others, you can't actually turn yourself into a pig.

……

“His qi and blood are very strong, even stronger than my Mountain Dragon King’s qi and blood,” Long Yue said with a somewhat solemn expression.

A few days ago, his teacher Enci gave him a detailed introduction to the contestants, telling him that the others didn't matter, but Lin Xingyu might be his opponent in winning the championship.

Therefore, after hearing the other person's name today, he kept staring at them.

Although he hadn't yet seen the opponent's battle armor, the five black spirit rings and terrifying blood energy alone were enough to make his expression solemn.

At the same time, a fighting spirit couldn't help but rise in Long Yue's eyes.

None of his peers could match him; Shanlong's physical enhancements were unmatched by anyone except the Golden Dragon King.

He naturally longed for a pure clash of strength with other Soul Masters of his age, and this monster was clearly skilled in physical combat as well.

He couldn't wait to go down and clash with his opponent to see who was stronger.

"Don't worry, you're probably the only one left who can fight him. I hope the two of you can face off in the final battle; that would be the most exciting match," Dai Yueyan said.

Long Yue nodded silently.

……

Seeing Dai Yun'er rushing towards him, Lin Xingyu did not use his weapon.

He simply switched the weapon to his left hand, while his right hand remained loosely gripping it.

With his first spirit ring lit up, he still had to keep up the act.

He grasped and controlled the invisible magnetic field in an instant.

An invisible magnetic field, along with his terrifying power, directly enveloped the space within a radius of tens of meters.

Dai Yun'er suddenly felt short of breath, and even her ability to easily break through the air without air resistance disappeared.

The terrifying force caused the surrounding air to become distorted like never before.

The person in front of me only made a fist with his right hand, but it was as if a tall giant had suddenly grasped the space within dozens of meters around him.

He held everything in his hands, compressing it forcefully.

Dai Yun'er wanted to retreat, but the terrifying force kept pushing her toward the center.

In the end, she could only watch helplessly as she lost the most important speed for agility-based attacks, feeling like she was stuck in a quagmire.

Lin Xingyu's physical strength is comparable to that of a Title Douluo.

The physical strength mentioned here refers to his most basic physical strength.

When he fights, the power he unleashes is physical strength multiplied by the power of his blood and qi, soul power, and soul skills...

Physical strength is the most basic factor.

This determines the intensity of his outburst.

The upper limit is the sum of all the forces.

'Nice figure, but still far inferior to Wu Siduo.' While making his move, Lin Xingyu even had the leisure to compare himself to Wu Siduo, who also possessed the Netherworld Cat Martial Soul.

The two are about the same age, but their figures are vastly different.

Dai Yun'er watched helplessly as the hand covered in crimson-gold gauntlets grew larger and larger in front of her.

There was nowhere to avoid it, nowhere to hide from it.

Finally, the hand was placed on its own head with a seemingly slow but actually fast motion.

"Lin Xingyu wins!"

The referee immediately stepped forward and quickly announced that Lin Xingyu had won.

They were afraid he might hurt the little princess by being too rough.
