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

Chapter 215 The Hunting Arrows

Unlike Bei Bei, who directly transformed into a holy dragon, Wang Dong'er did not undergo any significant changes after activating her Martial Soul True Form. Her dragon wings became even more magnificent, and she maintained her human body form. However, a layer of bright flames ignited around her.

However, Wang Dong'er tends to develop in the direction of ultimate light.

Both are at the 100,000-year level and belong to the ferocious beast category. Her dragon wings have been tempered to be incredibly powerful, and are covered with the fire of light and the aura of the dragon god, possessing both fierce attacks and solid defenses, making her a top-tier existence with both high stats and excellent mechanics.

Beibei's dragon claws lashed out with a sharp whistling sound, tearing through the air. Wang Dong'er's broad butterfly wings met the attack head-on, their shimmering light suddenly illuminating the area. Almost the instant the dragon claws were about to strike, the light and fire surrounding her surged forth spontaneously, coiling around the claws like agile creatures. Without Wang Dong'er's conscious control, a blazing defensive barrier formed, firmly blocking the fierce attack.

In contrast, Beibei had to concentrate on controlling the purple lightning wrapped around the dragon claw, allowing the violent lightning power to condense with the claw's movement. Every strand of electricity carried his will, fiercely attacking the barrier of light and fire.

Wang Dong'er calmly took out a bow made of a level seven soul tool, imbued with the flame of light, and the [Hunter]'s [Sharp Arrow] was ready to welcome all living beings.

Wang Dong'er's eyes flashed, and she said coldly, "Wind blades dance, sharp arrows pierce the prey. Bei Bei, your actions are inherently unfair. Let's see how you can resist when the [Hunting] descends!"

Before she finished speaking, she had already conjured a terrifyingly powerful fire arrow of light in her hand. The arrow's body shimmered with blinding light, and as soon as it was shot out, it became a blur, so fast that it was almost invisible to the naked eye. It hurtled straight towards the target with a sharp whistling sound that tore through the air.

With a bang, Beibei was knocked away by the [Hunter]'s arrow.

"boom!"

A muffled thud exploded, and Beibei, unable to dodge in time, was struck squarely by the Light Arrow of [Hunter], which was as fast as a streak of light. The massive golden holy dragon's body shuddered violently and was sent flying like a kite with a broken string. Sparks flew from its scales, tracing a golden arc in the air.

Beibei struggled to its feet, its golden dragon scales disheveled, some even curled off and oozing faint golden dragon blood. Its once majestic whiskers drooped, and the domineering aura in its dragon eyes had faded, leaving only undisguised dishevelment, its breaths tinged with pain.

The moment Bebe made contact with the Fire Arrow of Light, he sensed something was wrong.

This flame, like his own power, was at the pinnacle, yet it also contained a hint of the sharpness of wind element. From martial soul to soul ring, and even his own strength, Wang Dong'er completely suppressed him, and her combat skills were in no way inferior.

In Wang Dong'er's hands, the soul-guided longbow was like a terrifying beast awakened, displaying such frightening power with just one strike.

A sense of panic arose in Beibei's heart.

They're really going to lose this game.

On the battlefield, which was divided into three parts, Xu Sanshi could barely hold off Jiu Li's attacks. In fact, he knew very well that he was no match for Jiu Li.

Her martial spirit, like Sister Xiaotao's, is of the extreme fire attribute, making her very difficult to defeat.

Meanwhile, Bei Bei was in his Martial Soul True Form state and was being completely overwhelmed by Wang Dong'er. In fact, because he was in his Martial Soul True Form state, the area he was being attacked over was even larger.

At this moment, the Tang Clan's ambitions seemed to have collapsed.

"We give up! Shrek Academy... we give up on this!" Bei Bei shouted at Zheng Zhan.

He will definitely avenge these humiliations against the Temple of Light during the finals!
Moreover, this battle was not without its gains; at least some of the details of St. Freya Academy were uncovered. When they go back to review the battle, the teachers with a strong theoretical foundation will surely devise a perfect strategy for St. Freya Academy.

As soon as Bei Bei finished speaking, Wang Dong'er's next arrow stopped in mid-air. She then drew her bow, as if she already knew Bei Bei would concede. Such powerful control left even the high-level Soul Masters watching speechless.

No one knows whether this was Wang Dong'er's own ability or if she had external assistance.

But without a doubt, this team battle was fought with overwhelming force and dazzling brilliance.

When the Tang Clan conceded defeat, a chorus of boos erupted from the audience. Wang Dong'er had assumed that, given the Tang Clan's pride and pent-up resentment, this match would be a fierce and exhilarating battle, with them determined to vent all their pent-up anger. However, Bei Bei's decisive surrender completely surprised her.

The Tang Sect's ability to swallow this insult is remarkable. It's not that we fear an enemy who is too cunning, but rather one who is adept at concealing their true intentions. Since Bei Bei has chosen to endure, their goal is obvious: to claim the championship of this year's Soul Fighting Tournament. They are accumulating strength, waiting for their explosive power in the finals.

Thinking of this, a sneer appeared on Wang Dong'er's lips. In her eyes, the Tang Sect was far from being a true opponent. She was full of confidence, believing that no matter how ambitious Shrek Academy was, it was nothing but vanity in the face of absolute strength. In her view, the champion of this competition was already in her control, and the Tang Sect, that so-called opponent, was nothing more than a foil for her.

Beibei and the others happened to catch a glimpse of that sneer, and their anger surged instantly. They shouted angrily, "Wang Dong'er, what are you laughing at? Don't think you've really won!"

"You'll pay for this in the finals!"

In Wang Dong'er's eyes, these words were nothing but pointless barking; she didn't even bother to lift an eyelid. When Zheng Zhan announced St. Freya Academy's victory, she had already turned and left with her team.

After the match, everyone's soul power consumption wasn't too high, except for Jiu Li, who suffered the most. The Douluo Continent has always valued teamwork, a tradition that has existed for ten thousand years. Since the rise of Shrek Academy, with the "Shrek Seven Devils" as the benchmark, the concept of team battles has been deeply ingrained in the hearts of most soul masters, passed down from generation to generation.

Today, she had Yuan Chuan and Yuan Yan divide the battlefield. If Bei Bei hadn't volunteered to fight her one-on-one, she would have simply kept Bei Bei out of the overall battlefield. While teamwork can compensate for weaknesses, individual shortcomings are ultimately better addressed by oneself. If she encounters Tang Sect again in the round-robin or subsequent qualifying rounds, it will be her turn to strengthen Tang Sect.

Looking at Wang Dong'er, and not just Wang Dong'er, but everyone else also ignored them, the Tang Clan members felt a surge of anger. This time, they were only caught off guard due to a lack of information; they hadn't even fully unleashed their power!

"Beibei, wasn't it a bit too hasty to admit defeat? We might be able to hold on a little longer." Xu Sanshi walked up to Beibei in a few steps, his brows furrowed slightly as he asked, his tone tinged with resentment. Although the battle had been going poorly, he still felt there was room for maneuver.

"Are you the captain or am I the captain? Huh?" Bei Bei was already burning with anger from Wang Dong'er's sneer. Hearing this, she retorted without thinking, her voice almost overflowing with anger, and the veins on her forehead were throbbing.

Xu Sanshi was taken aback, opened his mouth but didn't refute. He and Beibei had been inseparable since they entered school, and they knew each other's temperaments better than anyone else—the angrier Beibei's anger was, the more it showed that he was holding back more anger than anyone else, and he was just pretending to be calm.

Seeing that Xu Sanshi was keeping his eyes down and not saying anything, Beibei finally came to her senses. Her tone softened considerably, and she patted his arm apologetically, "I'm sorry, Sanshi, I spoke too harshly just now." She had almost lost control of herself because of her anger.

"Hey, why are you being so polite with me?" Xu Sanshi grinned immediately, hooked his arm around Bei Bei's shoulder and pulled him closer, and gently punched his chest with his other hand. "Who told you to be my brother, Xu Sanshi? You understand this kind of thing!" The punch was not forceful at all, but rather as if he was patting Bei Bei on the back.

Looking at the open smile in his eyes, Beibei felt a lot of the pent-up frustration in her heart, and her nose tingled slightly. She patted his back hard and said, "Good brother."

"Ahem—" Zheng Zhan, sitting on the referee's stand, cleared his throat and glanced at the two people with their arms around each other with a strange look in his eyes.

Bei Bei glanced at Zheng Zhan sideways, snorted through her nose, and turned to walk off the stage. She had only taken two steps when a hiss of pain escaped her lips. She instinctively pressed her left shoulder and stopped in her tracks.

The spot where Wang Dong'er shot him with an arrow while he was in his Martial Soul True Form state was now throbbing with excruciating pain. He had been so focused on maintaining appearances at the time, and with Xu Sanshi distracting him by putting his arm around his shoulder, he hadn't felt much pain. But now that he had relaxed, the dull pain mixed with the residual soul power from the arrowhead was drilling straight into his bones.

"What's wrong?" Xu Sanshi quickly reached out to support him when he saw this. His gaze fell on Bei Bei's hand pressing on his shoulder, and his face darkened. "Is it the wound from Wang Dong'er's arrow?" He had seen it clearly on the battlefield just now. The arrow was shot at a tricky angle, and it was obviously shot with great force.

"It's nothing." Bei Bei took a deep breath, his forehead beaded with cold sweat, but he still forced himself to sit up straight. "I've used my soul power to temporarily seal the wound. I'll apply some medicine when I get back and rest for a couple of days." He paused, his eyes darkening. "We can't afford to be injured and not even be able to get back to the finals."

After the third round of competition concluded, all teams that advanced to the round-robin stage were given a day to rest before the draw for the round-robin stage took place.

Meanwhile, the Mingdu Soul Master Elite Competition, held in the underground world, has officially begun. The Soul Masters who have broken through the qualifying rounds will compete in the first round at the venues of the three major underground forces.

They went to the Evening Water Alliance, where the prize for the first round of the competition was to choose one of twenty-eight rare metals and take a portion of it.

The Xishui Alliance is the largest in the rare metal smuggling business. In comparison, the prizes of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce and the Pingfan Alliance (where Wang Dong'er went) seem rather meager, but the difference is not too great, otherwise the Xishui Alliance would probably have recruited all the outstanding contestants.

However, the competition requirements and rules of the three major underground forces are basically the same. For example, in the first round, both the Xi Shui Alliance and the Pingfan Alliance are required to make a level 3 or higher milk bottle soul tool within three hours. If they can make a level 4 milk bottle soul tool, they can skip the second round and directly enter the third round.
