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

Chapter 195 What Does the Poison Sect Master Want From Me?

Clearly representing the Body Sect behind her, Xia Die crossed her arms and nodded slightly.

"It's time to go see him," Xia Die thought to herself.

The Divine Soul Sect and the Tang Sect did not appear on the first day, but instead competed on the second day. However, they were only basic academies and were easily defeated.

That evening, Yan Shaozhe summoned people from the Tang Clan and the Holy Soul Sect for a meeting.

"According to intelligence, the Body Sect is also participating in this competition." Yan Shaozhe's words immediately caused everyone to frown.

This time, Shrek Academy was led by Han Ruoruo and Wu Ming. All members of the Body Sect are Body-based Soul Masters, and among those present, Yan Shaozhe was considered to have some understanding of Body-based Martial Souls.

"The strength of a Soul Master with a True Body Spirit is different from that of an ordinary Soul Master. If they awaken their second awakening, they may even have the ability to fight against opponents of higher levels. Children, if you encounter a Soul Master with a True Body Spirit, you must be careful. Of course, very few Soul Masters with a True Body Spirit can fight against opponents of higher levels after their second awakening. Moreover, our Shrek Academy is not bad either, so you can do your best."

On the other side, Xia Die was sitting across from someone drinking tea, and this person was none other than the Sect Master of the Body Sect, Du Bu Si.

She wasn't worried about Du Busi; with her strength, no one could pose a threat to her.

"I wonder what brings you here, Poison Sect Master? Your interest in me isn't new. If you're trying to persuade me to join the Body Sect, you'd better abandon that unrealistic idea as soon as possible. Your Body Sect might have been possible a few decades ago, but it's absolutely impossible now. In this [Reincarnation Land], my Body Martial Soul has already completed its second awakening. Joining you would be meaningless to me."

Poison Immortal said, "You're right, that's indeed my goal. However, as things stand, your strength is truly an unknown quantity."

Xia Die nodded and said, "Of course. Let's ask the question from a different angle: how do you view the current situation on the mainland?"

Poison Immortal said, "I'm not optimistic. With your strength, the Three Kingdoms of Douluo are no match for you. Besides, to be honest, in this era where gods are emerging one after another, the situation is indeed not good."

"How about joining the Sun Moon Empire, Poison Sect Master?"

Join the Sun and Moon Empire.

For Poison Undying, although they have become the guardian sect of the Heavenly Soul Empire, they are not that important.

In the future, after the Sun and Moon Empire is unified, it will establish a federal government and break free from the empire's constraints.

After thinking for a moment, Du Bu Si said, "Let me consider this matter."

Then, Poison Undying's figure disappeared.

The next day, the second day of the first round of the competition, the Divine Soul Sect finally got their chance to take the stage and prepared to "perform" well on the field.

Their opponents in this round are a team from a sect called Tianjia Sect.

The referee for this match was a Soul Saint-level Soul Master, who had been waiting in the center of the arena for some time. As the elderly master of ceremonies on the podium announced, the Shrek Academy and the Heavenly Armor Sect teams entered the waiting area in turn.

When the name "Divine Soul Sect" was announced by the emcee, a chorus of boos erupted from the audience. Anyone with eyes could see that this team was actually from Shrek Academy.

The vast majority of the audience belonged to the Sun Moon Empire and already harbored little affection for Shrek Academy. Many of the team leaders from various academies had participated in the previous tournament; back then, they were merely spectators of the Soul Fighting Tournament, but now they were participants in the arena. Through word of mouth, Shrek Academy's "glorious deeds" in the previous tournament gradually became known to more people.

The Heavenly Armor Sect, which had already entered the waiting zone, was unaware of this. Although they were a reclusive sect, they had long heard of Shrek Academy, which was known as the number one academy on the continent.

As the team leader, Han Zhanhu immediately instructed the Tianjia Sect members to try their best to win more points in the elimination rounds, and then bring out their trump cards to deal with Shrek Academy in the team battle.

"Next up is the individual elimination round. Please welcome the first player from each team to the stage."

As soon as the referee finished speaking, a tall and strong young man jumped out from the Tianjia Sect, while Dai Huabin appeared from the Shenhun Sect.

“Dai Huabin, of the Divine Soul Sect.”

"Tianjia Sect, Han Yu." Han Yu glanced at Dai Huabin with some doubt, thinking to himself: Shrek Academy first, then Tang Sect, and now Divine Soul Sect has appeared. Is this representing an academy or a sect? After both sides introduced themselves, the referee briefly explained the competition rules, emphasizing that they could not intentionally kill, and then gestured for the two to step back to the edge of the competition stage.

Immediately afterwards, the simulated battlefield was activated.

The simulation scenario for this time is [Volcanic Region 106].

In an instant, the two found themselves on a small island covered with red and yellow sand and stones, surrounded by scorching heat. The air itself seemed to be distorted by the heat, making it unbearably hot.

On the island, volcanoes of varying sizes are scattered about, some towering majestically with traces of eruptions still visible on their summits, while others are relatively low, resembling giant beasts crouching on the ground.

You can also see many small animals, which seem to have adapted to the hot environment, moving among the sand and gravel and foraging for food.

The ground is dotted with many pits, some deep and bottomless, others constantly flowing with scalding magma. The orange-red magma moves slowly in the ravines, radiating scorching heat, and the air is filled with a pungent smell of sulfur.

[The match begins]

As soon as the voice from the light screen above faded, Dai Huabin charged forward like a tiger pouncing on its prey. In an instant, eight spirit rings—two purple, two black, and four red—appeared around him, and the Asura White Tiger Martial Soul instantly possessed him.

Behind him, a blood-red tiger phantom clad in dark golden scales suddenly appeared, exuding a terrifying aura. Dai Huabin's eyes were now stained with blood, his original golden fur had turned snow-white, and a pair of blood-red bone wings had sprouted from his back, their flapping creating bursts of scorching air that resonated with the heat waves of the surrounding volcanic environment, making him radiate an aura of unparalleled ferocity.

Han Yu was startled, but he did not show any panic. Instead, he calmly released his martial spirit.

Hexagonal armor plates flew off his body rapidly, then quickly assembled in front of him, instantly forming a solid hexagonal shield. At the same time, five spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and one black—of optimal proportions lit up around him.

These so-called sects are mostly composed of large families, and very few are like the Body Sect, which truly does not rely on blood ties for its inheritance. The Heavenly Armor Sect's family-inherited martial spirit is precisely this Heavenly Armor Shield, which has astonishing defensive power.

The two charged at each other. Dai Huabin raised his heavy tiger paw and slammed it down. Almost at the same time, Han Yu thrust his Heavenly Armor Shield forward to meet the powerful attack.

The vast difference between a Contra Douluo and a Soul King was immediately apparent. The instant of the collision, Han Yu was thrown backward by a tremendous force, his feet leaving deep marks on the sand and soil. Even the Heavenly Armor Shield, renowned for its defense, bore clear furrows from Dai Huabin's tiger claws, demonstrating the sheer power of its attack.

Inside the waiting area, Xu Sanshi was watching the battle situation on the screen. Upon seeing this, he couldn't help but chuckle and said, "It seems that the shield of the Heavenly Armor Sect is not very good. It can't even match one-tenth of my defense."

Fan Yu glanced at Xu Sanshi and the others but said nothing. He had a feeling that Bei Bei and the other kids had gotten a little too cocky lately.

Although they now possess considerable strength even without relying on He Caitou's cigars to cheat, the contempt in Xu Sanshi's words was too strong; it was a contempt that came from the bottom of his heart.

Having graduated from Shrek Academy and possessing a martial soul that has evolved into the Xuanwu Shield, Xu Sanshi certainly has the right to underestimate his opponents. However, on the field, this careless attitude could very well lead to a major setback and force him to pay the price.

Within the simulated area, the battle raged on. After the initial probing, Dai Huabin no longer hesitated and unleashed his second soul skill—Heavenly Demon Light. In an instant, a terrifying, blood-red beam of light erupted from his gaping tiger's mouth, carrying a horrifying force as it hurtled straight towards Han Yu opposite him.

Han Yu had already noticed Dai Huabin's actions, and his first and second spirit rings lit up one after another.

Although there is a gap between Soul King and Soul Douluo, Han Yu was confident that Dai Huabin's second soul skill could never completely break through his Heavenly Armor Shield's defense.

The surface of the Heavenly Armor Shield suddenly became as smooth as a mirror, and the armor plates emitted strange fluctuations when facing the Heavenly Demon Light.

However, the two were more than thirty levels apart, and the difference in their spirit rings was even more pronounced. Han Yu was ultimately no match for him. He was sent flying, crashing heavily into the thick rocks. However, at the very moment he was knocked away, sixteen hexagonal armor plates shot out from the edge of the Heavenly Armor Shield, sweeping towards Dai Huabin. The edge of each armor plate gleamed with a chilling light, clearly as sharp as a blade.

Han Yu's first soul skill, Reflecting Ranged Energy Attacks, was perfect for countering Dai Huabin's Celestial Demonic Light. However, he hadn't anticipated the sheer power of Dai Huabin's second soul skill. And these flying armor plates were precisely the effect of his second soul skill.

Following that, Dai Huabin defeated another Soul Master from the Heavenly Armor Sect. Then, it was Zhu Lu's turn to take the stage, who was now at the Soul Emperor level, and the Heavenly Armor Sect sent out yet another Soul Master.

After Zhu Lu won two consecutive matches, Xie Huan Yue, who was also at the Soul Saint level, took the field. Xie Huan Yue lived up to expectations, defeating two Soul Saints from the Heavenly Armor Sect in a row.

这五场对决中，模拟战场也在不断变换，依次为【荒谷106号】【热带雨林106号】【海洋王国452号】【竹林45号】【雅特兰蒂斯1000号】。
