Douluo Continent: After their charm was maxed out, they became simps.

Chapter 87 The Competition Officially Begins

The next morning.

Wuhun Temple.

Inside the competition venue.

"The exciting match is about to begin."

"The Heaven Dou Royal Family's Royal Fighting Team will face off against the Spirit Hall Team."

"Both players, please prepare yourselves!"

On the ring.

"Spread out!" Dugu Yan released her martial soul, the Azure Scale Serpent.

As the control-type Soul Master in the team, Dugu Yan naturally stands in the center position.

Ye Lingling, who was in charge of healing, stood at the very back of the line.

The two Shi brothers stood in front of Ye Lingling, responsible for her protection.

Osro spread his wings and flew in the air, looking warily at the Spirit Hall team.

Xia Bai, on the other hand, seemed quite relaxed, standing casually to the side with his arms crossed, looking like he was watching the show.

"Hmm? The Royal Fighting Team's formation feels a bit strange." Yan looked at Xia Bai, who seemed to have an extra person next to him, with a puzzled expression on his face.

Why is he just standing there like a spectator?

Xie Yue shook his head in confusion.

"I don't understand what the Royal Fighting Team is thinking, but let's finish this battle quickly!"

"Lena, shall we use that move?" Xie Yue said, then turned to look.

Hu Liena, standing beside him, suddenly blushed and her body trembled slightly for some reason.

Her beautiful eyes were fixed on Xia Bai across from her.

"Lena? What's wrong?"

Yan noticed that something was wrong with Hu Liena and quickly asked her with concern.

Hearing the shouts of those around her, Hu Liena slowly came to her senses.

"N-nothing!"

Hu Liena shook her head and took a deep breath.

"It's good that you're alright. Let's use our Martial Soul Fusion Technique to quickly end the battle!" Xie Yue shouted to Hu Liena.

"Hmm." Hu Liena gave a soft "hmm," but her beautiful eyes kept glancing towards Xia Bai.

She didn't know why, but she just couldn't help wanting to look at Xia Bai.

"The match begins!"

As the referee announced the start of the match, Xie Yue and Hu Liena began their actions almost simultaneously.

Their bodies slowly approached, and the temperature in the surrounding air seemed to rise slightly at that moment, as if even the space itself was infected by their aura.

The next second, a burst of intense light erupted from the point where the two met. The light was so dazzling that the nearby audience couldn't help but squint, fearing that they would be burned by the light.

After the light faded, what appeared before everyone was no longer Xie Yue and Hu Liena alone, but a brand new and mysterious being—a person clad in bright red armor, holding a curved blade weapon that emitted a chilling light.

The weapon had a unique shape, as if it had been forged from the depths of hell, exuding a touch of eeriness and allure.

This is the "Enchanting Demon" formed by the fusion of Xie Yue and Hu Liena's martial souls, a combination of their soul power and will.

"She actually used her Martial Soul Fusion Skill as soon as she entered the arena?" Yu Xiaogang frowned and looked up at Bibi Dong, who was quietly watching the battle from the second floor.

The appearance of the demon caused the entire arena to boil over once again.

Under the captivating oppressive aura of the "enchanting" spirit, Dugu Yan raised an eyebrow and decisively unleashed her first soul skill—Azure Scale Red Poison—and her second soul skill—Azure Scale Blue Poison.

Two completely different yet complementary toxins instantly permeated the entire arena, bringing unprecedented enhancements to the Royal Fighting Team.

"Azure Scale Red Poison: A Poison of Excitement."

This toxin is like a torrent, directly impacting everyone's nervous system and awakening their latent potential.

Under the influence of the stimulant poison, the members of the Royal Fighting Team had their pupils dilate, their heartbeats accelerate, and their blood boil. Their attack intensity and speed both increased by 20%, and every movement was more swift and powerful than ever before.

Immediately afterwards, Dugu Yan swung her wrist again.

"Azure Poison: A paralyzing poison."

This time, the toxin targeted pain receptors, eliminating the sensation of pain and allowing the team members to ignore damage and continue fighting.

Under the protection of the paralyzing poison, their defensive capabilities increase by 30%, allowing them to maintain an indestructible stance even in the face of fierce enemy attacks.

Thanks to Dugu Yan's double blessing, the morale of the Royal Fighting Team soared. The pressure brought by "Demon Charm" was instantly relieved, replaced by a high-spirited fighting desire.

However, "Enchantress" remained unmoved by the Royal Fighting Team's countermeasures. Instead, a contemptuous smile appeared on her lips, as if mocking her opponent's overestimation of their abilities.

"Do you think this will stop me?"

It snorted coldly, its tone full of mockery and disdain.

"Innocent."

As it uttered those two words, "Enchantress" let out a low growl.

"Red Mist".

Ripples spread through the air, and a thick red mist swept in like a tsunami, instantly engulfing all the members of the Royal Fighting Team, blocking their view and creating a strange and dangerous atmosphere.

"This red mist is so strange, even I can't see it clearly." Poison Douluo Dugu Bo frowned and said with some surprise.

"Only those with profound soul power or extremely strong mental strength can probably see through the Red Mist!" Yu Xiaogang shook his head and said.

"Will Young Master Xia be in danger?" Tang San's pupils gleamed slightly with a purple light.

This eerie red mist was so strong that even Tang San's ultimate technique, the Purple Demon Eye, couldn't see through it, so he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"Don't worry! With Young Master Xia's strength, these little guys from the Spirit Hall are no match for him at all." Dugu Yan rested her hands on her arms, looking confident.

He had personally verified Young Master Xia's strength.

It will definitely not be lower than the level of a Title Douluo.

Those two kids from the Spirit Hall, using their Spirit Fusion Technique, at most reached the level of a Soul Emperor.

They are definitely no match for Young Master Xia.

Hearing Dugu Yan's certainty, the Shrek group finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Within the red mist, visibility was poor and direction was difficult to discern, forcing the members of the Royal Fighting Team to huddle together.

"Everyone be careful." Dugu Yan's voice was slightly anxious, but still calm, reminding her teammates to stay alert at all times, just in case.

Just then, out of the corner of her eye, Dugu Yan caught a glimpse of a blurry figure rushing toward them at an astonishing speed.

"not good."

Her heart tightened, and she immediately issued a warning, but the "demonic" was too fast, closing in almost the blink of an eye.

Its movements were clean and swift, without any hesitation. The curved blade in its right hand was like a bolt of lightning, hurled straight at Oslo in mid-air.

The appearance of the red fog caused Oslo to lose his altitude advantage, and his teammates on the ground were unable to provide immediate support.
