Douluo: Lord of Arms

Chapter 201 Crouching Tiger
In the following matches, they won quite easily.

Wu Siduo used only the White Tiger Martial Soul to directly defeat Jian Mochen, who was a defensive type, while Xie Xie was eliminated by Xue Liushuang.

Xue Liushuang donned her battle armor as soon as she stepped onto the stage, then chased Xie Xie around the arena with her sword, giving Xie Xie the feeling of fighting against Ye Xinglan.

Agility-based attacks are inherently difficult to defeat strength-based attacks, and Xie Xie is already at a disadvantage, while Xue Liushuang possesses both strength and agility-based attack capabilities.

Xie Xie thus became the first contestant to be eliminated.

Seeing Xue Liushuang win, the teacher leading the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy breathed a sigh of relief.

At least we managed to save our only son.

the next day.

Ye Xinglan has undoubtedly won.

Watching Ye Xinglan gracefully walk off the stage.

Long Yue narrowed his eyes slightly, staring intently at Shrek Academy and his group.

"They are all spirit alloys, and most of them are spirit-forged level spirit alloys!"

After a long while, Dai Yueyan finally spoke, somewhat shocked, her words filled with deep envy.

Generally speaking, metals of the thousand-refinement level can be used to make one-word battle armor, metals of the spirit-forging level can be used to make two-word battle armor, and metals of the soul-forging level can be used to make three-word battle armor.

Spirit-forged alloys of the highest quality (thousand-fold forging) can be used for spirit forging as materials for two-word battle armor. Spirit-forged alloys of the highest quality (spirit forging) can be used for soul forging as materials for three-word battle armor.

A spirit alloy of the highest forging level must have a fusion rate of over 80% to be suitable for making battle armor.

A fusion rate exceeding 80% allows for the fusion of six metals, which can be used up to the peak of Soul Forging, and even Heaven Forging is worth a try.

Otherwise, if the fusion level is insufficient, even soul forging cannot achieve the desired result, which would be a waste of metal and a futile effort.

Looking at this group of people, it's clear that their integration rate is over 80%.

It's not just wasteful, it's the height of wastefulness!
The forging process is generally learned by level six forging masters.

Level 5 is spirit forging, and level 6 is fusing multiple metals to prepare for the next stage, soul forging.

Generally, level six blacksmiths don't have a high fusion level, while those with a high fusion level can try to reach level seven.

Therefore, in Dai Yueyan and his group's eyes, every single person in the group opposite them was covered in spirit alloys with a very high degree of fusion, which was practically a sign that they were rich!
"I only knew that there was a master craftsman on the Douluo Continent, but I never imagined that the forging techniques on the Douluo Continent were so advanced!" Long Yue said with great envy.

They couldn't help but envy him. Even though they were known as the Eight Heavenly Kings of Star Luo, only Long Yue's battle armor was made entirely of spirit alloy.

But Long Yue is a two-word battle armor master!
His teacher was Grace!
Enci is someone who has reached level eight in all four of his secondary professions and is a ruthless person who can forge a four-word battle armor using non-heavenly forged metals!
With Grace's guidance, he was able to successfully obtain the spirit alloy for spirit forging.

Most of the others used ordinary refined metal, which made them the envy of everyone else.

want to!

These are the true thoughts in their hearts.

Forging battle armor directly from spirit alloys has many advantages.

Firstly, there's no need to replace the metal in the future, eliminating a replacement step, and the nurtured metal spirit stays in place, reducing wear and tear.

As they used their battle armor from the beginning, it naturally became more and more comfortable to use. The battle armor would grow with its master and become more powerful.

After hesitating for a moment, Dai Yueyan said hesitantly, "It's probably because they have a strong relationship. I heard my father say that Lin Xingyu's forging teacher is a master craftsman, and Tang Wulin's forging teacher is also an eighth-level saint craftsman."

Long Yue fell silent for a moment, and after a long while, he said quietly, "Then the matter might be even more outrageous. Is it possible that they forged this metal themselves instead of having someone else forge it?"

"That's unlikely. To forge this kind of metal, you need at least a level six blacksmith. How old are they..."

"It's not impossible. If one didn't have such talent in forging, one wouldn't have been accepted as a disciple by the master craftsman."

Day three.

The individual competition began with the top 64 advancing to the top 32.

Lin Xingyu also encountered a formidable opponent, Tiger King Dai Yueyan.

Wu Siduo finally got to face Long Yue, who had forced her to withdraw from the doubles match, but her expression didn't seem too good.

Yuan Enhui faced off against Ying Wang Tengteng.

Amidst the strange expressions on everyone's faces, Tang Wulin confronted the Wolf King Hua Lantang, whose martial soul was the Dragon Wolf.

Instead, the group faced their first internal battle: Na'er versus Ye Xinglan.

"You jinx!" Ye Xinglan said indifferently to Xie Xie beside her.

Xie Xie muttered to himself, "How can you blame me? I never expected them to be so shameless."

Despite this, the entire draw process for the finals was conducted under the supervision of several titled Douluo, and was generally quite open and transparent.

Cai Yue'er watched the drawing of lots from the sidelines.

Few people can cheat.

This can only be described as bad luck...

"Speak less in the future," Ye Xinglan said calmly.

"It's not his fault. We drew the lots randomly, and being in the same group is already pretty good. Besides, we're directly facing off against some of the monster students," Na'er said with a sweet smile, seemingly not taking the matter to heart at all.

Xie Xie breathed a sigh of relief. "If you ask me, Junior Sister Na'er is the kindest and most understanding of people."

"Luck is something that is entirely predetermined."

……

At the very center of the stage, Dai Tianling sat calmly in the main seat, with Enci sitting beside him.

"Teacher, what are your chances of Yueyan winning this match today?" Dai Tianling asked Enci in a low voice.

Although he had seventeen sons, his fourth son, Dai Yueyan, was the most talented and had the best character among them.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Dai Yueyan is practically a shoo-in for the next Star Luo Emperor.

Although the Star Luo Royal Family no longer has the brutal battle royale mode of the ancient times, it still chooses the best emperor.

Enci hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "It's probably only about 30%. Lin Xingyu's two-word battle armor amplifies too much."

After a moment of silence, Dai Tianling said, "It's really tough on Yueyan."

Because of Long Yue's presence in this competition, Dai Yueyan's only requirement is to try his best to show his prowess and make a good impression during the competition. There will be plenty of ways to promote him later.

In their eyes, Dai Yueyan was mature beyond his years, had a very calm personality, and was also quite talented.

In their view, if the person who becomes the Emperor of Xingluo cannot be invincible in terms of strength, then they should choose someone with a calm and wise personality.

A good emperor is one who can balance the interests of all parties.

If I lose to Lin Xingyu in the competition, there will be some extra trouble, but not much.

If they lose, the championship will most likely be decided between Lin Xingyu and Long Yue.

Losing to these two is not shameful.

We'll hire some online trolls to wash it clean then.

"The next match is between Dai Yueyan, the Tiger King of Monster Academy, and Lin Xingyu, the captain of Shrek Academy. Please welcome our two contestants to the stage!"

Fang'er's voice gradually rose as she spoke, beginning to stir the emotions of the audience.

"Tiger King! Tiger King! Tiger King!"

"Your Highness! Your Highness! Your Highness!"

The sound of thunder and roaring waves immediately erupted at the scene.

Dai Yueyan stood up from his seat, casually patted Dai Yun'er's head, and said with a smile, "Watch your fourth brother go on stage to avenge you."

Dai Yun'er nodded and said, "Fourth Brother, good luck!" She even waved her little fist as she spoke.

As Dai Yueyan got up and walked to the door, he glanced at Long Yue and said, "I will go all out when I go on stage. If I win, that goes without saying. If I lose, you guys can study his soul skills carefully down here."

His words were full of confidence. As the second of the eight Heavenly Kings of Monster Academy, he would not be much weaker than Long Yue in a short period of time.

Long Yue felt a warmth in his heart, filled with deep emotion.

Since taking the stage, Lin Xingyu has only used his first soul skill in every battle!

It looks like it's a force field ability.

He still has four ten-thousand-year soul rings left. Who knows what his remaining soul skills are?
As he strode towards the ring, listening to the cheers from the crowd, Dai Yueyan felt a surge of excitement.

When he stepped into the ring, he felt his mind was immersed in this wave, and his overall condition was better than ever before.

As the soul-guided shield on the arena was upgraded, Lin Xingyu and Dai Yueyan stared at each other from hundreds of meters apart.

Only now did Dai Yueyan truly understand what kind of monster the person opposite him was.

In Dai Yueyan's eyes, Lin Xingyu's figure, which was not originally very tall, now seemed to be extremely tall.

He was spiritually connected to heaven and earth, and his breath was like that of a terrifying dragon. His boiling blood and qi truly connected with the heavens, making him look like a demon god standing there.

It is as high as heaven and earth.

As he went up on stage, his mental energy gradually surged, and he even felt that he had achieved a state of harmony with the universe.

Standing here, he felt his mental strength being directly suppressed by the other party.

He didn't even do anything; just standing there quietly was enough to overwhelm his mind.

"Both sides prepare, the game begins!"

As usual, the referee gave both sides a brief reminder before announcing the start of the fight.

Both of them simultaneously possessed their martial spirits.

A majestic and solemn Dharma image then appeared behind Lin Xingyu.

His internal energy roared, and his soul power surged forth, like a true dragon about to take flight.

He pointed his weapon diagonally at Dai Yueyan.

Dai Yueyan's blond hair quickly turned white, and his hair grew back. His body swelled up, and large muscles bulged out, as if he had been injected with drugs.

His pupils also turned gold.

Five spirit rings, three purple and two black, appeared beneath his feet.

Level 54 White Tiger Soul King!

Sensing the sharp aura emanating from his opponent, Dai Yueyan dared not be careless in the slightest.

Beams of light shot out from his body, then curled back upwards, revealing a set of pure white armor with black patterns on his body.

His shoulder armor had two tiger heads on it, and his armor style was similar to Lin Xingyu's, both being full-body armor. His helmet was also a combination of a face shield and a helmet, rather than a headband.

One word to fight the armored tiger!

After Dai Yueyan's martial soul was attached to him, the first thing he did was put on his battle armor, and his aura surged rapidly.

But it's not over yet.

The first and third purple spirit rings on Dai Yueyan's body lit up simultaneously.

White Tiger Protective Barrier! White Tiger Vajra Transformation!
A golden shield enveloped his entire body, and he suddenly grew a head taller, his body hair instantly turning golden.

The character "王" (king) on ​​his forehead was faintly visible.

Dai Yueyan then stepped forward, charging directly at Lin Xingyu.

The White Tiger Vajra Transformation can enhance a Soul Master's resistance to abnormal statuses, as well as double their attack power, defense power, and strength for half an hour.

However, the amplification of this type of soul skill has an upper limit.

The upper limit here refers to the upper limit of Soul Rings.

Once the growth rate exceeds a certain threshold, it will gradually decrease.

It must be said that the soul skill configuration of the Dai family's White Tiger Martial Soul is truly excellent.

Before reaching the seventh ring, no matter which ring you stop repairing at, your soul skill configuration is quite good.

It has buffs, defense, close-range single-target attacks, and area-of-effect attacks.

Each soul skill can also create a synergistic effect.

In comparison, what kind of nonsense were the soul skills that Yu Xiaogang chose for Tang San?

Even the Netherworld Cat's humorous soul skills weren't very effective.

The White Tiger Vajra Transformation is available in the third and fourth rings, but it becomes ineffective in the fifth and sixth rings as the amplification reaches its limit and it can no longer be as powerful as it was in the third ring. Then, the White Tiger Demon God Transformation takes over.

After the seventh ring, one possesses the true form of a martial spirit.

For those with eight or nine rings, Soul Masters generally cannot choose their Soul Skills; they basically have to use whatever they can get their hands on, with little room for customizing their own skills.

In the era of spirits, the White Tiger Martial Soul has once again benefited.

The age limit of the spirit ring can be increased!

The upper limit of soul skills can also be increased accordingly.

So in the later stages, as the age of the spirit rings increased, the White Tiger Vajra Transformation could also be activated!
In terms of the quality of martial souls, in ancient times, the White Tiger martial soul was a level below the True Dragon martial soul.

However, once you reach the three-word battle armor, which is integrated into your martial soul, it can subtly enhance and develop your martial soul.

The Dai family has been the emperors of Xingluo for thousands of years, even if the emperor's demands weren't that extreme.

At the very least, a Title Douluo's cultivation level cannot be low; otherwise, accidents are likely to happen.

For example, they might drown.

As the generations are nurtured in this way, the quality of the martial souls of the offspring will also improve.

After this upgrade, the White Tiger Martial Soul's explosive power is truly formidable in a short period of time.

The distance between Lin Xingyu and Dai Yueyan continued to shrink.

Lin Xingyu continued to use only the power of magnetic fields.

Unlike before, this time he held the weapon in his hand as the main attacker!
With each step they took closer, their auras increased, reaching their peak just before they were about to collide.

"boom--!"

As the two figures collided, crimson and golden light intertwined.

Lin Xingyu's long spear slammed directly into Dai Yueyan's tiger claw.

The collision of qi and blood, and soul power, created a small storm in the surrounding area.

Dai Yueyan suddenly took a few steps back, and a crack appeared in the golden light formed by the White Tiger Protective Barrier on his hand, which was then quickly repaired.

As he let out a muffled groan, Dai Yueyan couldn't help but feel a surge of horror.

Keep in mind that he had already donned battle armor and used an amplifying soul skill.

With his level 54 soul power, his combat strength has basically reached the level of a Soul Saint.

But this monster in front of us already has this level of power even in its normal state!
