Douluo Continent: The Twin Sons of the Styx River, Shaking the World and Destroying the Heavens

Chapter 194 Dragon Slayer Sect
A sudden surge of chilling energy erupted from Meng Hongchen's body, her first soul ring glowing with a dazzling blue light. The icy blue longsword in her hand hummed and trembled, the fierce power of ice and snow intertwining with the howling storm on its blade, transforming into a sword beam carrying an icy chill. With a slight twist of her wrist, the sword light, like a reversed Milky Way, slashed furiously down towards the approaching Dragon Slaying Sect youth.

At this moment, the young man from the Dragon Slaying Sect was already very close to Meng Hongchen. There was no time for him to think, and he crashed into Meng Hongchen.

However, just as the two were about to collide, the falling ice blade suddenly erupted with a torrent of icy energy. The air within a radius of several meters instantly froze, and ice crystals spread like a spiderweb, enveloping the Dragon Slaying Sect youth's body and his charging trajectory. The Copper Bull Martial Soul expert, who had been so aggressive just a moment ago, was now frozen into a crystal-clear ice sculpture, frozen in his charging posture.

Then, enveloped in light, they both exited the simulated battlefield. On the field, the ice seal on the other player had ended.

The scene of Meng Hongchen's overwhelming victory struck the hearts of everyone in the Dragon Slaying Sect like a heavy hammer, filling the ranks with a heavy, oppressive atmosphere. After a brief moment of adjustment, a slender young man stepped forward slowly. His bony fingers were slightly curled, and each step seemed to carry a unique rhythm. When he stood facing Meng Hongchen, his narrow, phoenix-shaped eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a greater wariness and calculation than his previous opponent.

"Silence!" The referee waved his flag and clearly read out the rules of the game again. Feng Shen stepped forward, his voice low yet sharp: "Feng Shen, Dragon Slayer Sect." In contrast, Meng Hongchen merely nodded indifferently, responding briefly: "Meng Hongchen." The clash of the two names seemed to foreshadow an undercurrent about to erupt.

With a whistle, the two retreated like arrows, each taking up a corner of the simulated battlefield. As pale blue light enveloped the entire area, the previous snow-capped mountain scene vanished instantly, replaced by a turbulent sea. Jagged reefs stood jaggedly on the crests of the waves, and the salty sea breeze, carrying crashing waves, lashed at them. The insignia of [Ocean 4060] flashed in the void. This battle, unfolding in this entirely new terrain, had begun.

A sharp eagle's cry pierced the sky, its shrill sound echoing and reverberating among the rocks. In an instant, a pale purple bolt of lightning shot into the sky like an arrow, its speed dazzling and leaving only a trembling afterimage in its wake. Everyone stared intently; it was Feng Shen of the Dragon Slayer Sect. His aura was imposing, and his five spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and one black—lit up in succession, creating a dazzling halo between the sea and sky.

Feng Shen stretched out his arms, and a pair of deep blue wings burst forth from his elbows. Though not wide, the wings gleamed with a cold, metallic sheen, each feather shimmering with fine purple patterns. Simultaneously, a pale purple light enveloped his entire body like flowing lightning, his figure appearing and disappearing within the light, instantly ascending to a height of thirty meters. Looking down at Meng Hongchen from his vantage point, Feng Shen's eyes gleamed with eager battle intent.

"Friends of the Dragon Slayer Sect, don't forget that I come from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy." Meng Hongchen's lips curled into a cool smile as she slowly opened her palm, with several streams of dark blue light swirling around her fingertips. "Last time when we fought Shrek Academy, A-Die's new equipment couldn't be used. Perfect, today I'll show you what it's all about."

Meng Hongchen's icy blue pupils suddenly lit up, as if two clusters of ice crystal flames were dancing in her eyes. The next second, a dazzling blue light emanated from her body, and an astonishing transformation had begun.

Her hands were first covered by a layer of icy blue, gauze-like energy. Then, an exquisite suit of armor, predominantly icy blue, began to appear, spreading upwards like blooming ice flowers, each plate seamlessly joined together. As the armor materialized, the fluctuations of her soul power suddenly intensified, causing the surrounding air to crackle with tiny ice crystals.

Above the head, an ice-blue headband, resembling a coiled dragon, landed steadily, its head perfectly protecting the forehead, both agile and majestic. The breastplate, waist guard, and battle skirt took shape in sequence, each engraved with lifelike ice dragon patterns, as if ice dragons were swimming in the armor. The shoulder armor resembled an ice crystal dragon's head, sharp yet with smooth lines, and a faint chill flowed between the fine ice patterns on its surface, making it feel cold to the touch. The arm armor covered the wrists, with several sharp ice ridges extending from the ends, perfectly connecting with the gauntlets covering the hands, and echoing the icy aura emanating from the longsword in the hand, forming a seamless whole. The leg armor appeared thick and solid, each plate seemingly compressed from extreme ice, providing stable support without hindering agility. Finally, a pair of ice-blue battle boots covered the feet, with ice patterns shimmering on the soles.

When the entire suit of armor was fully completed, Meng Hongchen stood silently on the battlefield like an ice goddess of war descended to earth, exuding an awe-inspiring aura.

Meng Hongchen was wearing battle armor, specifically a three-word battle armor.

What everyone thought was an invincible shield was not an invincible shield. Meng Hongchen was not using an invincible shield, but a brand new soul tool!
Made by Xia Die, it will only appear ten thousand years later. It originated from the Ice Extreme God Armor. According to Xia Die's explanation, the Battle Armor is a groundbreaking creation in the world of soul tools. Because of the appearance of the Battle Armor, the status of soul beasts being stronger than soul masters in individual combat has been completely overturned, allowing soul masters standing at the top of the soul master world to fight one-on-one, or even defeat those powerful ferocious beasts.

Battle armor is a super mecha similar to armor, created by Soul Masters themselves. It is essentially an extension of a Soul Master's strength and an important component of their power. Any Battle Armor user is at least 20 levels stronger than a Soul Master of the same level.

In the rest area, He Caitou stared in disbelief at the armor Meng Hongchen was wearing.

He Caitou said in a daze, "It's actually this."

He Caitou remembered the one he had stolen before, but he couldn't crack it; the person could actually wear it.

Moreover, this should be called a battle armor, and it's even more advanced than the one I stole before. The one I stole before was called the One-Word Battle Armor, but this one is much better.

Meng Hongchen's aura suddenly changed, jumping directly from the Soul Douluo level to the Limit Douluo level. Moreover, this wasn't just ordinary battle armor; it was forged from the power of destiny and constructed using cosmic matter.

He was momentarily stunned by Meng Hongchen's imposing aura, but was sent flying dozens of meters away by a single punch, instantly losing all ability to resist. The afterglow of the two consecutive victories lingered in the arena for a moment, and finally, thunderous cheers swept across the entire stadium like a tidal wave.

Meng Hongchen is not only the banner of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, but also carries the expectations of the Sun Moon Empire. Here, every appearance of hers is full of brilliance, and these two exhilarating victories are the glory she won with her strength.

In subsequent matches, no one from the Dragon Slayer Sect could rival Meng Hongchen. Despite this being a full-scale battle between the two teams, with the opposing team even featuring a Soul Saint-level expert, none could withstand a single blow from her; they were all defeated in a single move. Ultimately, in the first match of the tournament, Meng Hongchen single-handedly achieved a stunning "one-versus-seven" victory, showcasing the formidable strength of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy in this overwhelming triumph.

According to the competition rules, thanks to their complete victory in the individual elimination rounds, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy directly eliminated their opponents, becoming the first team to advance from the first round of this competition with a score of six points. They also secured points in the team competition. After the first round, they are temporarily in first place with a total score of eleven points.

As the opening match, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy undoubtedly set a good precedent, bringing a smile to Xu Tianzhen's face on the podium.

It's a bit of a pity that we won't be able to see Ah Die make a move.

Tang Clan Rest Area.

They had quite a few people. The leader was Tang Ya, and the members were Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, He Caitou, and Jiang Nannan. They also recruited three more team members, all of whom were Soul Douluo or Soul Saint level.

They now have a team configuration of four Soul Douluos and three Soul Saints.

Among them was one who knew a great deal about martial spirits, named Chu Mu, who was from the inner court of Shrek Academy.

Chu Mu said, "Be careful in your upcoming matches. Her current martial soul possesses three extreme attributes, and she's also a Soul Douluo. The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy will likely be a big problem for us. Bei Bei, even though you've already reached the Soul Saint level, you can't be careless!"

"Yes, I know." Beibei nodded, but inwardly she didn't think much of it.

If it were the old him, perhaps it would be like this, but now he is terrifyingly strong!
Throughout her life, Beibei was never inferior to anyone!

However, Chu Mu's lecture was not over yet. After commenting on Meng Hongchen, Chu Mu began to comment on the Dragon Slaying Sect: "Many sects with a long history and heritage have their own unique strengths. Compared to the teaching of Soul Master Academy, sects are stronger in some aspects. Just like the Body Sect's development of Body Martial Soul is far beyond what our Shrek Academy can match."

The competition is progressing rapidly. This year's tournament boasts a large number of participating teams, with over eighty matches in the first round alone. Without a tight schedule, the originally planned three-day event would likely be difficult to complete. The matches that followed were consistently exciting; the brutal nature of the elimination rounds forced every team to give their all, resulting in some truly thrilling moments. Through countless wins and losses, team after team successfully advanced, making their way to the next round.

Because the preliminary rounds are elimination rounds, the subsequent matches will be fierce and intense battles unless one team has absolute dominance, and there will even be some extremely brutal scenes.

However, there will be no casualties in the simulated battlefield. The Body Sect team also appeared in the first day of the competition, but they used the identity of the Snow Demon Sect. Vina and Mu Xue were among them. Before entering the arena, they glanced at Xia Die.
