Douluo: Dragon King's Divine Elegy

Chapter 142 One month west of the river, one month east of the river, let's see what happens next month!
The girls were taken aback when they didn't see Nan Liujing for a month. He hadn't changed in appearance, but for some reason, his temperament had become gentler, giving people a feeling of warmth and comfort upon first meeting him.

"Dean."

Luo Hongshao approached Leng Yaozhu and bowed respectfully, saying, "The venue has been inspected and the competition can begin."

"Let's begin then," Leng Yao said decisively.

"Yes." Luo Hongshao responded, then turned to the public and announced, "The Spirit Transmission Academy Class Competition officially begins."

Without much preamble, the two referees each leaped into the playing area.

Today, all students know that the academy has a total of one hundred teachers and leaders. Of these, twenty-five belong to the Mecha Academy and are all Black-level Mecha Pilots. Among the remaining seventy-five, the school leaders, headed by the dean, number ten and are all Title Douluo, but some are only nominal and do not participate in the academy's daily management.

Of the remaining 65 students, 70% are Soul Saints and 30% are Soul Douluos. It can be said that the teaching staff far surpasses any Soul Master Academy today.

The referee on the left called out loudly, "Please bring up the three-on-three teams from Class 1 and Class 4."

Hundreds of eyes shifted to the waiting area.

Ye Xinglan walked out with a sharp glint in her azure eyes, her expressionless face accentuated by her striking outfit that highlighted her heroic and spirited figure. Beside her were Duan Hunxiao, a former second-year student of Shrek Academy's outer court, whose martial soul was the Duan Hun Xiao (Soul-Severing Flute); and Bai Hanying, whose martial soul was the Cherry Blossom, also a former second-year student of Shrek Academy's outer court.

One of them was a Soul Master, and the other was a Soul Venerable.

At the same time, three students from Class 4 also walked out.

The leader had gray hair, an ordinary appearance, and a rather slender build, exuding a gloomy aura. The other two were a young man on the left with short, bluish-green hair, sharp features, a lean and wiry build, and bluish-green feather patterns on his bare arms; and a petite girl on the right with long, dark green hair tied in a ponytail and beautiful features.

"Xu Yucheng and Lin Mo are both known for their strong aggressiveness. The situation in Class One is a bit dangerous."

As soon as the students from Class 4 entered the competition, some conversations began to ripple through the audience.

Xu Yucheng and Lin Mo both participated in the Federal Tournament's junior division competition and each advanced to the quarterfinals in the three-on-three competition.

Therefore, quite a few people know them.

"Ye Xinglan is not weak either. He ranked third in the junior group individual competition and has mastered sword intent. He is definitely a ruthless person."

There were also voices supporting Ye Xinglan.

Regardless of what others were saying, the six students stepped onto the competition stage at the same time. A pale yellow soul power shield rose up at the edge of the field, then dimmed and became almost transparent.

The male referee said, "During the match, once your opponent is incapacitated, you must not use excessive force. Alright, everyone step back."

The six men exchanged glances, their fighting spirits mingling.

After standing nearly eighty meters apart, the two groups stopped, and hundreds of eyes focused on them.

"The match begins," the female referee announced loudly.

Suddenly, intense fluctuations of soul power surged from both sides of the arena.

Both sides raised their spirit rings, and at first glance, the configurations were exactly the same, consisting of two Spirit Masters and one Spirit Venerable.

Lin Mo's speed was the fastest in the game. A blue vortex flowed around him, propelling him to rush towards the three students from Class One. As his first spirit ring lit up, his hands were clearly covered with a layer of energy wind blades.

Xu Yucheng followed behind, his entire body shrouded in a black aura, constantly swallowing up the surrounding light, making it almost impossible to see his figure. Only the long-handled scythe that emitted a ghostly light exuded a cold aura.

The last person in the team, a petite female student, had jade light surging in her hands. As she released her first soul skill, her feet seemed to surge like an earth dragon, as if something was lurking beneath them. She rushed toward the target at a similarly fast speed.

hum~
Ye Xinglan first concealed her aura and then released it. Her sword intent distorted the light, and every inch of it was like a mirror, reflecting her cold face. The Star God Sword in her hand trembled slightly, like a flowing river of stars, which was quite dazzling.

Seeing the enemy charging towards her, she moved swiftly and gracefully, her sword pointing downwards. The Star God Sword Intent fell like raindrops, each strand carrying the power to pierce through gold and shatter iron, cutting off Lin Mo's path forward.

Fourth Soul Skill: Sword Star Rain!

Lin Mo's expression darkened slightly. He was a typical attacker with low defense. Although his speed could help him dodge, he couldn't withstand such a dense barrage of sword intent.

The second soul skill was released, and a pair of pale blue, almost transparent wings unfolded on his back. He swept into the air along the edge of the sword star rain. As the third soul ring lit up, hundreds and thousands of feather-shaped wind blades condensed around the wings, about to burst down to the ground.

Woo~
Just then, a deep flute sound rang out, and the competition stage seemed to ripple as if hit by a tide.

The voice was mournful and ignored the protection of soul power, directly attacking the mind.

In the sky, Lin Mo, who was about to unleash his third soul skill, suddenly felt dizzy, and the light of his soul ring abruptly stopped, interrupting the release of his soul skill. Xu Yucheng was even more unlucky. His original intention was to wait for Lin Mo's third soul skill, Thousand Feather Storm, to clear a path for him so that he could launch a strong attack on Ye Xinglan. However, he did not expect that his teammate and he himself would suddenly be controlled, and they would crash headlong into the Star God Sword Intent without any defense.

boom!
At the critical moment, the earth cracked open, and countless jade-green vines emerged, forcefully protecting Xu Yucheng.

Click!

Behind them, Jade Vine Soul Master Ye Ling let out a muffled groan, a hint of horror showing in her eyes. Her martial soul defense was quite good, and with her level 39 cultivation, it was normal for her to withstand the attack of a Soul Master. However, when facing Sword Star Rain, the Jade Vine was like paper and was torn to shreds on the spot.

Sacrificing the vines that were originally meant to attack Duanhunxiao and Bai Hanying gave Xu Yucheng a little more time to preserve himself.

The dark air currents swirled back, carrying him away from the area covered by the rain of swords.

call out.

Ye Xinglan lightly touched the ground with her toes, her first spirit ring lit up, and a burst of starlight shot out from the tip of her sword.

Xu Yucheng clearly felt that the starlight was filled with sword intent that could tear him apart. A chill ran down his spine, and he immediately unleashed the Dark Demon Scythe. A deep purple semi-circular blade of light swept out, and the space around the edge twisted and rolled, as if tearing flesh.

The Dark Demon Scythe is also known for its powerful attack capabilities.

With a bang, the two attacks collided, the gold and deep purple colors reflecting each other, and the energy dissipated to the ground, instantly cracking the floor with countless fissures.

"Sword Star Falls!"

Ye Xinglan shouted, changing his thrust into a slash. The Star God Sword in his hand shone brightly, its tip pointing to the sky. Then he slashed down, and a vast sword light poured out from the sky, like a galaxy falling from the heavens. Thousands of rotating starlight followed its path, and all the primordial energy of heaven and earth along the way was swept away.

Xu Yucheng trembled, the weakness of his physical body becoming apparent. As his first soul ring lit up, he transformed into a wisp of mist and tried to escape in a flash.

Woo~
However, the ever-present sound of the flute grew stronger and stronger, and the ripples spread out in layers, causing Xu Yucheng to feel extremely dizzy, and his movements slowed down by a full two beats.

The falling sword star carried an astonishing power that chilled people to the bone.

Hiding is no longer an option; we have no choice but to fight!
The fourth spirit ring lit up instantly. Xu Yucheng wielded the Dark Demon Scythe, surrounded by countless blade shadows. Each wisp carried terrifying baleful energy. If someone's body was cut open, even with just a small wound, the baleful energy would continuously flow into it, causing terrifying erosion from the inside out.

boom!
Starlight fell, illuminating the countless blade shadows in the sky. The murderous aura accompanying the blade shadows melted away like snow meeting the blazing sun.

In the air, Lin Mo suppressed his dizziness, flapped his wings, and accelerated with his first soul skill, Gale Thrust, rushing towards Duan Hunxiao like lightning, as if he wanted to defeat him first. Otherwise, having a group control soul master on the field would definitely be a nightmare for his side.

Duanhunxiao was in no hurry. His second soul ring lit up, and he increased the playing speed, pointing one end of the Duanhunxiao at Lin Mo who was rushing towards him.

With a tremor, an invisible sound wave burst forth.

It was so fast that even Lin Mo couldn't dodge it.

He instinctively swung his left hand, which was equipped with wind blades and claws, trying to forcefully shatter the sound wave.

With a bang, the claw-like energy collided with the sound waves, creating a strange rhythm that rippled through the air like a silent firework exploding.

Lin Mo succeeded, shattering the sound waves. But before he could rejoice, the strange melody instantly became noisy and piercing, like the sound of fingernails scratching a blackboard. Even though Lin Mo had prepared his mental defenses beforehand, he was immediately affected. His face suddenly contorted into a ferocious expression, and he covered his ears with his hands, letting out a low growl.

This move doesn't deal too much damage, but it's definitely annoying and has a great control effect.

Sudden.

The ground beneath Duanhunxiao's feet shattered, and countless vines sprouted out, stirring up waves of fishy stench, as they tried to entwine his body.

In the critical moment, countless cherry blossom petals inexplicably bloomed on Duan Hunxiao's body. He smiled at Qingyu Teng Soul Master Ye Ling, and the cherry blossoms scattered, causing his body to disperse with the wind.

The vines strangled and the fishy fragrance tried to control the situation but missed its target.

"How can it be!"

Ye Ling exclaimed in surprise.

In the distance, Bai Hanying's red lips were slightly pursed, with a faint smile on her face. Countless cherry blossom branches appeared out of thin air around her, spreading a pale pink halo, which was extremely beautiful.

She and Duan Hunxiao had known each other for a long time and had a very good working relationship. From the very beginning of the competition, she had enhanced her soul skills on her old teammate, which is why Duan Hunxiao could stand still without any restraint.

Click!

A clear shattering sound rang out, immediately attracting the attention of countless students.

On the other side of the arena, the Sword Star blazed with dazzling light, completely enveloping Xu Yucheng.

The sharp sword intent shattered all the blade shadows, and the pure power of light annihilated the cold baleful aura. When Xu Yucheng's fourth soul skill was broken, the terrifying power instantly made his already not very strong body withstand astonishing pressure.

He knelt down on the spot, his whole body trembling violently. Under the cover of countless sword lights, he looked like a pitiful young beast about to be pierced through the heart by ten thousand swords.

The referee immediately intervened and pulled Xu Yucheng away.

After people left, the once smooth ground was ravaged, leaving behind a scene of devastation.

Xu Yucheng's elimination also exposed Ye Ling, who was far behind.

Ye Ling glanced at Ye Xinglan's cold gaze and couldn't help but shiver.

Ye Xinglan didn't hold back and swung her sword. A bright yellow sword light burst forth from the tip of the Star God Sword. Where it passed, the air emitted a piercing whistle, and countless fine cracks appeared. Upon closer inspection, one could see that the sword light was actually shining with countless star points, which were the compressed and condensed sword intent and Star God power.

Just as Ye Ling made a defensive preparation, the referee scooped her up and took her away, clearly not believing she could withstand the blow.

Sure enough, when the sword light landed on the soul power shield, it immediately caused a violent tremor that lasted for a full ten seconds before subsiding.

"Dude, you're the last one left, wanna fight?"

The cherry blossoms gathered together, transforming into the figure of Duanhunxiao, who cheerfully shouted to Lin Mo, who was suspended in the air.

Lin Mo's face darkened; he never expected his side to be defeated so quickly.

Before the match, Xu Yucheng confidently told him that he could quickly defeat Ye Xinglan in close combat, but he was quickly defeated by the opponent instead. His defeat even led to Ye Ling being exposed.

Looking at Ye Xinglan and the other two, Lin Mo took a deep breath and said, "Perhaps I can forcibly replace one of them."

Ye Xinglan raised her eyebrows slightly, and Duan Hunxiao and Bai Hanying simultaneously turned their gazes to the one in front of her.

hum~
In an instant, everyone saw the dazzling starlight bursting from Ye Xinglan's body as she unleashed a terrifying series of slashes in mid-air.

In an instant, terrifying sword lights shot up.

"Come on, let's see how you replace him!"

A detached voice echoed.

Lin Mo's pupils contracted, and he steeled himself to accept the challenge.

Half a minute later, Lin Mo, like a frightened little bird, was shakily sent off the stage.

"Class One, rise up!"

As the three-on-three match ended, the students from Class One cheered excitedly, while the students from Class Four looked rather dejected.

"Next, please welcome the students from Class 1 and Class 4, who will be playing seven against seven!"

In the waiting area, Yuan Enyehui, Wu Siduo, Gu Yue, Na'er, Xu Xiaoyan, and two other students with Soul Venerable cultivation walked out together.

In an instant, the expressions of Tang Yue and the others in Class Two became serious.

Yuan Enhui and Wu Siduo are both people who have proven themselves in the Federation Grand Competition. Two years have passed, and who knows how much they have improved.

Although Gu Yue doesn't have many combat records, underestimating her will definitely lead to a silent loss.

Na'er is currently only popular because of her stunning looks, but she hasn't shown much in terms of actual ability. During the class officer election assessment on the third day after the start of the semester, she didn't really put in any effort and just managed to get the position of vice class monitor.

As for Xu Xiaoyan and the other two students, they were more like accessories, so let's not mention them.

Seven people also walked out from Class 4.

Dark Bear Yang Nianxia, ​​Jade Serpent Zheng Yiran, former Shrek Academy second-year student He Xiaopeng, Ye Xingmo, and three other Soul Sect geniuses who did not originally appear in this timeline.

Overall, the top combatants of Class 1 and Class 2 are stronger, but the average cultivation level of Class 3 and Class 4 is higher.

This is also where the class competition is relatively fair; the winner will never stay in just one class.

Under the watchful eyes of many, the seven-on-seven match quickly began.

Students from Class 1 and Class 4 immediately shouted encouragement to cheer on their classmates.

However, to everyone's surprise, the match started out in a one-sided manner.

With her top-tier spirit rings of three purple and two black, and the berserk state unleashed by the Titan Giant Ape, Yuan Enhui single-handedly suppressed all four members of Class 4.

Yang Nianxia's Dark Gold Bear Martial Soul was top-tier enough, but when she clashed fists with Yuanen Yehui, she was blasted away in a single exchange. Zheng Yiran's Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Poison Gas, specifically designed for team competitions, was dispersed by Yuanen Yehui's fist wind before it even showed its destructive power. He Xiaopeng's Eight-Sided Plum Blossom Bright Silver Hammer also sent him flying in one move. Ye Xingmo, a member of Ye Xinglan's clan, barely managed to withstand two blows.

On the other side, the three Soul Masters from Class Four were easily crushed by Gu Yue, a high-level Soul Master; Na'er, a high-level Soul Master; and Wu Siduo, a low-level Soul Master.

Xu Xiaoyan and two other trainees became cheerleaders, shouting wildly to encourage their classmates until their voices became hoarse.

A tremendous contribution!

After all, the cheers from outside the arena couldn't be heard inside because of the soul power shield.

When the last student in Class 4 fell, the referee immediately announced the result.

In an instant, cheers resounded throughout the arena. Class One was full of fighting spirit, while Class Four was briefly disappointed, but quickly accepted the result.

January brings fortunes, January brings fortunes; let's see what happens next month!
