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

Chapter 245 The Defeat of the Body Sect
However, Long Aotian was not far from Yuan Yan, but Yuan Yan was a level seven soul master with many ways to deal with him.

Seeing this, Long Aotian let out a long roar, and his second and fourth spirit rings lit up simultaneously, the yellow and black halos flashing intertwined. He seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, his body suddenly elongating, his height surging to nearly three zhang (approximately 10 meters), transforming him into a terrifying little giant. Immediately afterward, he stretched his arms upward, his bones cracking, and his arms merged into one, transforming into a massive, dark golden battle axe, its blade shimmering with jade-like light and radiating unparalleled sharpness.

"God of Madness Slash!"

The giant axe formed from Long Aotian's arms slashed down with a sharp whistling sound that tore through the air. His state of oneness with heaven and man made this soul skill even more powerful. Before the axe wind even arrived, it had already blown away all the withered grass on the ground, and an invisible force of energy was heading straight for Yuan Yan.

Fourth Soul Skill: Scorching Flames.

Yuan Yan tilted his head back and drew his bow. Intricate cyan patterns suddenly appeared on the bow, the mark of the [Hunting] faction. He released the bowstring, and the arrow soared into the sky. In an instant, the entire sky seemed to ignite, endless flames coalescing into a raging inferno, pouring down on Long Aotian like an inverted sea of ​​fire. The scorching heatwave nearly scorched the plain. The giant axe collided with the raging flames, unleashing a deafening roar.

The jade-colored light on the giant dark gold axe formed by Long Aotian's arms shone brightly, actually cleaving a gap in the pouring sea of ​​fire. He sighed inwardly at the domineering nature of Yuan Yan's soul skill, but his hands did not stop moving at all. His fifth soul ring suddenly lit up, and a dark halo pulsed violently around his waist.

Fifth Soul Skill: Heaven and Earth Transformation!

A burst of incandescent light erupted from Long Aotian's body. He seemed to have been thrown into a furnace, his body engulfed in blinding flames, twisting and contorting strangely, spinning rapidly like a top being whipped by a tremendous force. The swirling gusts of wind formed an invisible barrier, engulfing all the remaining flames. As the rotation speed increased, the true fire was forcibly extinguished, leaving not even a spark.

Long Aotian landed steadily on the ground, the jade-colored light and silver-white phantom on his body slowly fading away. He looked at Yuan Yan in mid-air, a hint of sincere admiration on his face, and said, "Yuan Yan, how about we stop this match and go straight into the team battle?"

After all, St. Freya Academy did not use the tactic of defeating seven opponents in one battle this time. However, Long Aotian did not expect to turn the tide through team battles. He just felt that such individual battles were too protracted and it would be better to start team battles directly.

“Okay,” Yuan Yan nodded in agreement.

Long Aotian immediately declared loudly, "I concede." His tone was crisp and decisive, without the slightest hesitation, revealing his upright and honorable character.

After a short break, the team battle phase began, with all seven team members taking the stage.

Apart from Vina, the other team members who did not appear were Chen Yu, Gu Tong, and Jiang Yixi.

The Snow Demon Sect's formation was centered around Long Aotian, with Wang Yanfeng and the already awakened Chen Lu on his left and right sides, respectively, and Jiang Yixi and Chen Yu standing behind him.

Jiang Yixi is the second-best female member of the team after Vina. Her hands are long and fair, with a faint golden luster flowing through them, which is obviously where her original martial soul is located.

Chen Yu and Long Aotian were both burly, but he looked somewhat hunchbacked and had a rather strange appearance.

Gu Tong had exceptionally bright eyes and stood next to Vina in the center of the group.

Seven students from St. Freya Academy stepped onto the field, and the competition between the two sides began immediately.

Zheng Zhan waved his hand, and the [Simulated Battlefield] was activated.

【Rainforest Ruins No. 5608】

The scene is set in a ruin covered with bluestone, where the ancient stones are still covered with damp moss unique to the rainforest. Traces of vines can be vaguely seen among the broken walls and ruins, and the air is filled with the mixed smell of damp earth and decaying vegetation.

Among them, apart from Long Aotian, Vina is also a second awakening of her Gold-level Martial Soul. The illusory images of their Martial Souls are respectively a brain and a pair of eyes.

Vina became another contestant in this competition to showcase her twin martial souls, namely Snow Lotus and Brain.

The rest of the group were all at the Bronze-level, second-awakening level of their original martial souls. Jiang Yixi's martial soul consisted of two hands, while Chen Yu's was rather exaggerated—a pair of enormous fleshy wings that shouldn't exist on a human body. Apart from Chen Yu and Jiang Yixi, who had reached the six-ring Soul Emperor level, Gu Tong and Vina were both seven-ring Soul Saints. Judging solely from their paper strength, they were naturally inferior to the St. Freya Academy side.

The two sides clashed, with Jiu Li facing off against Long Aotian.

Neither of them used their soul skills; they fought purely with brute force.

In a pure clash of fighting spirit, no one can rival Jiu Li in a one-on-one duel. Vina's Brain Martial Soul is clearly dominated by mental power; of her seven spirit rings, five are at the ten-thousand-year level, and two reach the hundred-thousand-year level.

Although Vina possesses a support soul skill similar to mental detection, it is only available to Long Aotian, which is clearly a limitation.

Her fourth soul skill, "Banshee's Howl," is a ten-thousand-year-old soul skill that inflicts both mental and auditory damage.

A distorted ripple spread rapidly outwards from Vina's center.

Ye Yukes activated his third soul skill, [Blessing of the Other Shore], to provide healing and debuff removal for his teammates, thus resisting the mental damage from [Banshee's Howl]. However, he could not defend against the impact of the sound.

Although Chen Yu, who can fly, has the cultivation of a Soul Emperor, he is powerless against the Soul Douluo Wang Dong'er.

Although the Snow Demon Sect's Soul Masters were not weak, they were ultimately powerless to turn the tide against the already superior cultivation of St. Freya Academy, coupled with the continuous control and powerful attacks from Ye Yukes, Xiao Xiao, and Yuan Yan.

The strongest, Long Aotian, was severely injured by Jiu Li when he was controlled. Even if he used his Martial Soul True Body afterward, Jiu Li was able to counter him with her own Martial Soul True Body.

In this team battle, all sorts of dazzling lights intertwined and flew about, and the endless stream of tactics provided a feast for the eyes of the audience.

At this moment, almost everyone believed that St. Freya Academy was the champion of this year's Soul Fighting Tournament.

In the afternoon, the showdown between Shrek Academy and the Spirit Hall officially began.

However, without activating his super artifact, Luo Tiansha was no match for Mu Mingtian.

Ultimately, the Spirit Hall was no match for Shrek Academy and lost the game.

With this, the final teams for the All-Continent Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament have finally been determined. The tournament organizing committee has temporarily decided to postpone the finals, claiming that it is to allow both teams more time to recover and present the most exciting battle in their best condition.

Another major competition in Mingdu has also come to its final chapter.

The final round of the Mingdu Soul Master Elite Competition, jointly hosted by the three major underground forces of Mingdu, is about to begin.

The three Soul Masters selected by each of the three underground forces from their internal selection competitions will gather at the competition venue that night.

The final rewards have been announced: the champion will receive a level 9 soul tool and the right to choose from 49 rare metals that are crucial for soul masters; the second and third place winners will also receive rewards, but slightly less, only the right to choose from rare metals and no level 9 soul tool; while the fourth to ninth place winners will not even receive gold soul coins, and will go home empty-handed.

However, the rewards they had won in previous competitions were already quite substantial.

In addition to these overt competition rewards, the three underground forces will also provide private rewards to their team members after they win honors.
