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

Chapter 243 Defeat

The soul skill attached to the right arm bone of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is called "Dark Gold Power," which allows Xiao Xiao to unleash tremendous strength comparable to that of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, while also adding a heavy aura to the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron. Combined with her third soul skill, "The Might of the Cauldron," she truly possesses a powerful aura of "strength capable of uprooting mountains and overwhelming the world."

Xiao Xiao did not stop at the falling blow. After landing, she pressed her advantage and swung the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, smashing it repeatedly at Wang Yanfeng, who was enveloped by the invincible shield.

No one expected that Xiao Xiao, who seemed petite and cute, would show such a violent side, leaving many viewers speechless and even a little horrified.

"Boom, boom, boom..." The bronze cauldron flew up and fell again and again, the booming sound echoing throughout the arena. Under this continuous heavy blow, a crack actually appeared on Wang Yanfeng's invincible shield.

Even the invincible shield is cracking, which undoubtedly means that Wang Yanfeng's soul power is about to be exhausted, and the shield's defensive power is about to give way.

Wang Yanfeng was initially disoriented from the impact, as his invincible shield was already severely depleted of soul power when attacked. It wasn't until cracks appeared that he finally unleashed his trump card. Six soul rings behind him lit up simultaneously, and a bronze light bloomed behind him, transforming into a pair of enormous phantom hands that exuded a powerful aura comparable to the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron.

"Burning eternally, amber builds a golden wall," Xiao Xiao shouted.

The Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, which was dealing with the giant hand behind Wang Yanfeng, instantly turned back to defend and landed in front of her.

Immediately afterwards, a layer of dazzling golden light burst forth from the cauldron, rapidly spreading out and forming a massive golden shield around her. This shield, as if cast from amber, flowed with a warm yet resilient luster, firmly protecting Xiao Xiao within it. It stood in stark contrast to the heavy aura emanating from Wang Yanfeng's bronze giant hand, creating a standoff.

"Qiang!"

A deafening clang of metal clashing rang out as the pair of giant bronze hands behind Wang Yanfeng slammed into Xiao Xiao's golden shield. However, the golden light on the shield only flickered violently for a moment, completely deflecting the powerful palm strike.

Caught off guard, Wang Yanfeng was violently thrown back by the force of his own strike, his body flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into a distant mountain wall and sending up a spray of gravel. He groaned, a trickle of blood escaping from the corner of his mouth, clearly indicating that the recoil had taken a severe toll on him.

Xiao Xiao's golden protective shield remained steadfast, its amber-like luster flowing, protecting her without making a dent.

Both sides then withdrew from the simulated battlefield [Huashan No. 5280], and the rugged mountain scenery in the arena faded away, restoring it to a flat competition platform.

After regaining his composure and taking a moment to catch his breath, Wang Yanfeng looked at Xiao Xiao opposite him, solemnly cupped his hands in greeting, and said with a hint of admiration, "Thank you for showing mercy. I have learned a lot."

The Snow Demon Sect's second disciple to fight was named Chen Lu. The most striking feature of his figure was his unusual legs—not only were they disproportionately large, but they also appeared somewhat disharmony and strange.

His calves, in particular, were so muscular that they were almost as thick as his thighs, completely disrupting the normal proportions of his limbs and making him appear exceptionally deformed.

Generally speaking, those who possess this type of martial soul will always exhibit abnormal physical characteristics that are different from those of ordinary people, as if the martial soul power has left a unique mark on their bodies.

On the other side, Xiao Xiao from St. Freya Academy left the field immediately after her first match, and Yuan Yan took her place.

After both sides exchanged names, Zheng Zhan suddenly raised his hand and waved it, causing ripples to spread across the surrounding space, and the simulated battlefield activated. The scene of [Cannibal Valley 5280] unfolded: jagged rocks interlocked like canine teeth, and dark green viscous liquid seeped from the dark rock crevices, emitting a stench of decay and blood.

A thick gray fog blanketed the valley floor, reducing visibility to less than ten feet. Faint sounds drifted through the fog: the rustling of vines scraping against rocks, and the low growls of some creature. Looking up, twisted ancient tree branches stretched towards the leaden sky like ghostly claws, their branches laden with dried bones. Some bones still bore the clawing motion of their fingertips, as if recording their final struggles. The ground was covered in slippery moss and withered leaves, each step producing a dull thud. Occasionally, one would kick a broken weapon half-buried in the earth, its rusted surface covered with dark brown patches.

Yuan Yan activated his martial spirit, and a longbow appeared in his palm. At the same time, raging true fire erupted around him, bathing the surroundings in crimson light. The bow was forged from crimson gold, engraved with intricate sun patterns interspersed with lifelike dragon designs; the dragon scales were clearly visible, and the dragon's head was slightly raised, as if it were about to break free from the bow and spew forth scorching flames. The bowstring, like a crimson thread, flowed with intense heat, its brilliance mirroring the crimson gold of the bow. Enveloped in true fire, it shimmered and sparkled, the entire bow exuding a terrifying aura, like a divine weapon descended to earth.

Purple, purple, black, black, red, red, red.

Chen Lu's martial spirit is his extraordinary legs. The first advantage of using his legs as his martial spirit is immediately apparent when he charges forward, thanks to his astonishing jumping ability.

With a single leap, Chen Lu's figure suddenly appeared in front of Yuan Yan, and then, without any fancy moves, he threw a straight punch.

Faced with this sudden attack, Yuan Yan showed no sign of panic. He twisted his waist sharply, nimbly dodging Chen Lu's fist, and then flipped over, precisely kicking away the opponent's outstretched arm with both feet. He then braced himself with his hands on the ground, completing a clean diagonal turn and steadily widening the distance between them.

Yuan Yan's two spirit rings suddenly lit up, the yellow and purple halos pulsating rhythmically. The sunlight in the sky seemed to be drawn in, transforming into streams of golden light that flowed into his body, instantly converting into pure spirit power. His aura surged dramatically, and his attack power noticeably increased by 30%.

Immediately afterwards, he drew his bow and nocked an arrow, which condensed into a raging fire, its tip spitting flames and hurtling straight toward Chen Lü with a sharp whistling sound.

Chen Lu was taken aback by what he saw, and his soul power suddenly erupted, directly activating his second awakening. In an instant, a pair of bronze-colored legs appeared behind him, radiating a deep, solid luster as if they were real. At the same time, his already thick calves visibly swelled even more, and the tight trouser legs burst open, revealing leg lines covered with bulging muscles—clearly, this was the transformation brought about by the second awakening at the bronze level.

After his second awakening, Chen Lu activated his second soul ring without hesitation, and a yellow halo lit up around his waist. Instantly, his legs were enveloped in a layer of silver light, as if covered with a layer of hard armor, attempting to withstand the fiery arrow.

Although Chen Lu was a Soul King, he dared to take the initiative to fight, relying on his strength after his second awakening—he was confident that he could use his own advantages to fight against the Soul Emperor.

But he was not facing an ordinary Soul Emperor, but a Soul Saint with three 100,000-year Soul Rings.

"Boom!"

The moment the flaming arrow collided with the silver light shield, a deafening roar erupted.

The crimson flames exploded like a tidal wave, instantly engulfing the silver light, and their remaining force slammed into Chen Lu. He groaned, his entire body flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the boundary light screen of the simulated battlefield. After the light screen rippled violently, the light of his martial spirit on his body completely went out, clearly indicating that he had lost his fighting ability.

The two soul skills released by Yuan Yan are:
[First Soul Skill] Crimson Sun True Rocket: Condenses soul power and ultimate fire, infusing the arrow with the true fire of the sun before launching it, dealing high damage and inflicting an inextinguishable continuous burning effect. [Second Soul Skill] Refining Fire to Transform Soul: Absorbs the fire elemental energy of the sun and converts it into its own soul power, instantly restoring 100% soul power and increasing its attack power by 30% for the next 30 seconds.

Referee Zheng Zhan's voice rang out at the opportune moment: "Lawyer Chen, eliminated!"
