Douluo Continent II: The Dragon King Suppresses the World!

Elder Xuan and Cai Meier stood beside the field. Yan Shaozhe addressed both sides, "You will stand on the north and south sides respectively. The captains will arrange the order of battle. The first player to go on the field will be the referee. You have ten minutes to prepare."

The two sides were divided into two groups. The Shrek Seven Devils were fine with it. After a little thought, Bei Bei started to divide them into groups, and Wang Dong'er was the first to go.

On the other side, things were getting lively.

"You'll be first later," Ye Qi'an said, pointing to Cao Jinxuan.

Cao Jinxuan said with a bitter face, "Brother Ye, we are fighting against them now. I think you should choose someone who can counter Wang Dong. I don't think I'm good enough."

Ye Qi'an shook his head and said, "Relax, winning or losing doesn't matter. After all, it's not like I'm sending you to compete right now. I just want to understand your current strength."

Cao Jinxuan nodded and didn't say anything more. However, his silence didn't mean others had no objections.

Dai Huabin snorted coldly and said, "As the captain, you didn't even ask for our opinions before arbitrarily assigning people to play. Do you want to win? I think you clearly have a good relationship with them and want us to lose on purpose."

Ye Qi'an glanced at him slightly, and for some reason, Dai Huabin's heart suddenly tightened.

"Dai Huabin, I'm telling you now that I'm the captain, but you're not. You have no right to disobey my decision. If you don't like me, you can quit directly, or you can talk to me first before engaging in actual combat with them. I guarantee that this time you won't just rest for half a month."

"you……"

Just as Dai Huabin was about to lash out, Zhu Lu stopped him. Zhu Lu shook her head at him, saying that everyone was much older than they used to be, and not everyone was as impulsive as Dai Huabin. Zhu Lu knew very well how much Dai Huabin valued this competition, so she couldn't let him cause any problems due to his impulsiveness at this time.

Dai Huabin didn't say anything more, but Wu Feng said sarcastically, "Captain, you've arranged this to favor them, haven't you?"

Ye Qi'an's eyes turned cold, and he said coldly, "Who gave you the wrong impression that I'm easy to talk to? In a team, I only want to hear one kind of voice."

Wu Feng glared at him: "Are you on fire? Can't you speak properly..."

Before Wu Feng could finish speaking, Gu Yuena, who was standing next to Ye Qi'an, raised her hand and slapped Wu Feng. Wu Feng was stunned by the slap, her eyes wide with disbelief.

"How dare you hit me!" Wu Feng roared.

Gu Yuena stared at Wu Feng with an expressionless, icy gaze. "If you continue to speak so arrogantly, it won't be as simple as just a slap."

At this moment, the others in the group were also stunned by this sudden scene. Dai Huabin's face was gloomy. He was about to speak, but he held back. He understood that provoking a conflict at this time would not do them any good.

Ye Qi'an looked at everyone and said in a serious tone, "I'll emphasize again, I'm the captain, and my decision is not to be questioned. Now, everyone should focus on the upcoming match, instead of engaging in pointless questioning and arguing."

Everyone fell silent, and the atmosphere became tense and oppressive.

Ye Qi'an turned to Cao Jinxuan and said, "I remember your martial soul is a clock, right? Just make the most of your control abilities and don't worry about winning or losing. Go."

Cao Jinxuan took a deep breath to suppress his tension. Now was not the time to back down. Since the captain had given the order, he could only do his best to complete it. He stepped towards the center of the field, constantly recalling the abilities and characteristics of his martial soul.

The Time-Fleeting Martial Soul possesses the power to control time, capable of accelerating, decelerating, or even halting its flow. However, the use of this power requires precise control and strong soul power.

Wang Dong'er stood opposite, her eyes revealing determination and confidence.

Yan Shaozhe looked at both contestants and announced loudly, "The match begins!"

Cao Jinxuan stood in the center of the arena, his expression solemn. Facing the powerful Wang Dong'er, he dared not be careless in the slightest. Two yellow and two purple spirit rings pulsated around his body.

Just then, Wang Dong'er made her move. Instead of releasing her martial spirit, she sprang up and rushed towards Cao Jinxuan.

Wang Dong'er was extremely fast, but Cao Jinxuan was not slow either. His second soul ring quietly shone, and the Time Slowing Soul Skill was activated.

Wang Dong'er's figure froze instantly, and her speed noticeably decreased.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Cao Jinxuan created some distance while his mind raced, considering his next strategy. He knew that the time-slowing effect couldn't trap Wang Dong'er indefinitely, and he had to find a more effective way to attack as soon as possible. Cao Jinxuan's eyes narrowed, and he decided to take the risk.

He then activated his first soul skill, Time Acceleration, and rushed towards Wang Dong'er at an extremely fast speed. Just as he was about to reach Wang Dong'er, Cao Jinxuan prepared to use his third soul skill, Time Reversal, in an attempt to disrupt Wang Dong'er's rhythm.

However, Wang Dong'er was extremely perceptive. The moment she sensed the fluctuation of the power of time, she reacted immediately. A flash of light appeared behind her, and the Goddess of Light Butterfly Martial Soul was released instantly. The powerful soul power fluctuations dissipated the effect of time slowing down.

Wang Dong'er flapped her wings, easily dodging Cao Jinxuan's attack. At the same time, a flash of light appeared in her hand, and a sharp attack came towards Cao Jinxuan.

Cao Jinxuan was startled and quickly activated Time Slow again to slow down Wang Dong'er's attack speed. At the same time, he swiftly dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding Wang Dong'er's attack.

Wang Dong'er clearly wouldn't give Cao Jinxuan that chance. She unleashed the full power of her Goddess of Light Butterfly Martial Soul, unleashing a barrage of powerful attacks towards Cao Jinxuan.

While dodging Wang Dong'er's attacks, Cao Jinxuan looked for an opportunity. Finally, during a gap in Wang Dong'er's attack, Cao Jinxuan seized the opportunity, his fourth spirit ring shone, and the Time Cage was activated.

A cage formed by the power of time instantly enveloped Wang Dong'er. Inside the cage, the flow of time for Wang Dong'er slowed down to an extreme degree, making it almost impossible for her to move.

Just as Cao Jinxuan was about to completely suppress Wang Dong'er and force her to admit defeat, an extremely powerful surge of soul power suddenly erupted, and a golden beam of light with a diameter of three meters shot up, instantly purifying the Time Cage.

Wang Dong'er's fourth and fifth spirit rings flashed alternately. In the instant the six-pointed star array erupted, Wang Dong'er above the six-pointed star changed again. She pointed with her right hand, and the six-pointed star array on the ground flew up, and a huge golden pillar of light, hundreds of meters long, swept out.

Cao Jinxuan, unable to dodge in time, was also swept up in the wave. He was lifted up by the golden light and bound by the surging light elements, making him unable to move at all. He raised his hands high to indicate that he had given up.

Just as Cao Jinxuan returned to the team dejectedly, Ye Qi'an patted him on the shoulder and said, "You did well. If I play, you can take a look."

Upon hearing Ye Qi'an's words, Cao Jinxuan felt a surge of curiosity and anticipation. He silently retreated to the back of the line, his gaze fixed intently on the center of the field.

Yan Shaozhe observed the changes in the game, nodded slightly, and then announced loudly, "Wang Dong'er wins this round. Both sides, please prepare for the next match."

Ye Qi'an glanced at his teammates beside him, casually pointed, and that was it. Whether it was Zhou Sichen, Lan Luoluo, Lan Susu, or Xie Huanyue who was going to take the stage next, Ye Qi'an didn't actually intend for them to win. One reason was that they couldn't win, and the other was that he wanted to use them as training material to see their strength.

"Dong'er, come down. We'll concede this round and make substitutions." After taking down five players in a row, Beibei called for Wang Dong'er to come off the field.

"Caitou." Beibei gestured to Caitou.

He Caitou made his entrance with an air of nonchalance.

"The warm-up is over, and it's my turn to take the stage next." Ye Qi'an slowly walked to the center of the field and stood opposite He Caitou.

Seeing Ye Qi'an walk out on his own, Dai Huabin and the others, who had not yet appeared but whose faces were grim, were slightly taken aback.

As soon as Ye Qi'an came out, He Caitou's relaxed expression immediately turned serious.

When Yan Shaozhe saw Ye Qi'an appear, he nodded to himself, "The strongest of this generation couldn't resist showing up after all."

Yan Shaozhe shouted, "Begin!"

He Caitou was like a Transformer at this moment. Amidst a series of metallic clanging sounds, he landed firmly on the ground, and thick cannon barrels kept appearing on his body, all locking onto Ye Qi'an. At this moment, Ye Qi'an looked more like a target...

But this target really is a target, isn't it? From Ye Qi'an's perspective, He Caitou is a stationary, live target.

Just as Yan Shaozhe shouted "Start the match!", Ye Qian moved. A dazzling golden light flashed by, and his figure kept changing, quickly closing the distance between the two.

Although the Soul Battle Zone was quite spacious, the rules of this sparring match stipulated that the distance between the two sides should be kept within one hundred meters. He Caitou was about to use the Soul Guidance Artillery Turret Battle Technique to suppress Ye Qi'an with strong firepower when he discovered that Ye Qi'an was already right in front of him.

Although He Caitou was surprised, he reacted quickly. He immediately abandoned the Soul Guidance Cannon Turret Battle Technique. At the same time, a beam of strong light shot out from his chest, and his body was propelled backward at high speed, drawing a streak of light in the air. As he retreated, he raised his arms, and six cannon barrels appeared on each of his arms. The intense soul power light poured out towards Ye Qian'an's charging figure.

Maintaining distance and suppressing enemy firepower are the combat methods that Soul Masters are most accustomed to.

However, after Ye Qi'an broke the seventh seal, his physical strength was already at the god level. Therefore, when facing He Caitou's attack, he did not need to dodge at all. He ignored the soul guide rays that had come to him and let them attack him.

The soul-guided rays struck Ye Qi'an, but bounced off as if hitting an indestructible barrier, leaving not even a trace. Ye Qi'an's speed did not decrease at all, and he continued to approach He Caitou.

He Caitou's eyes widened in shock. He had never seen anyone withstand the attack of a soul-guided weapon so easily. He immediately adjusted his strategy, his hands moving, and more cannons extended from all parts of his body. He unleashed his soul power at full force, and beams of even more powerful soul-guided weapons shot out.

Ye Qi'an remained unmoved, only trying to close the distance between the two.

He Caitou felt as if the hairs on his body stood on end. He immediately released his strongest level seven soul-guided shield without hesitation. At the same time, his body fell to the ground, and the two thick cannons that had just emerged from his shoulders fired.

Even so, He Caitou was still not at ease, and another white cannonball exploded in the air, instantly solidifying a circular shield with a diameter of three meters in mid-air. This was also a level seven defensive shield.

Ye Qi'an stared at the two high-explosive bombs for a moment, then raised his hands and grabbed them. With a forceful squeeze, the two high-explosive bombs were crushed, and the powerful impact spread in all directions. However, Ye Qi'an stood firmly in place, completely unharmed.

At the same moment, two streaks of light flew towards He Caitou and struck the circular shield in the air. The shield rippled with white light the instant it was hit. Everyone could see clearly what the two streaks of light were. They were clearly two forging hammers, but they looked different from ordinary forging hammers.

As the two forging hammers paused, a golden dragon's silhouette quietly appeared, its roar suddenly becoming more intense. The shield was instantly shattered, and the momentum of the forging hammers not only did not slow down, but accelerated as they chased after He Caitou.

As the golden lightning approached, He Caitou's appearance changed as well. A pair of giant hammers appeared in his hands. The handles of these hammers were only 1.5 feet long, but the diameter of the hammerheads was more than 1 foot. The hammers themselves emitted a strong light of lightning.

At this moment, seeing that the two forging hammers had already come to him, He Caitou turned halfway around and used the two hammers in a meteor-like rush, one in front and one behind, to strike the forging hammers. He was confident that with the explosive power of the thunder hammers and the level seven soul guide shield protecting him, he should be able to withstand it without any problem.

He Caitou's response was excellent; even the other six members of the Shrek Seven Devils couldn't find fault with it. But would Ye Qi'an really be that simple?

In the distance, Ye Qi'an's lips curled slightly, and his golden hands rose simultaneously, opening to the sides. In an instant, a powerful surge of energy emanated from his body. The two rapidly flying forging hammers seemed to be drawn by some force, suddenly changing direction and dodging He Caitou's Thunder Hammer, one to the left and one to the right.

He Caitou's eyes widened in astonishment. He had never expected Ye Qian to have such a method. Before he could react, the two forging hammers drew a beautiful arc in the air and then attacked He Caitou from behind at an even faster speed.

He Caitou's heart tightened, and he hurriedly turned around, swinging his Thunder Hammer again to defend. However, this time he was not so lucky. The moment the forging hammer collided with the Thunder Hammer, a powerful impact erupted instantly. In that instant, He Caitou felt as if he had been hit by a mountain. He was quite confident in his strength, and his cultivation was at the Soul Emperor level. However, in a contest of strength, he was far inferior to Ye Qian, who focused on power.

Everyone watching clearly saw that He Caitou's feet sank down, and his whole body was already knee-deep in the ground. He Caitou felt as if his arms were no longer his own at this moment. His hands were in excruciating pain, and his joints were unable to move because they had been hit by a huge force.

"Ye Qi'an is victorious." Yan Shaozhe's voice came at just the right time.

On the other side, Xiao Xiao had already run out at top speed. Ye Qi'an withdrew his Soul Forging Hammer, stepped forward, and immediately set He Caitou's dislocated arm. Although a sharp pain made He Caitou sweat, he finally regained control of his arm.

"Thank you," He Caitou said with a wry smile.

Everyone originally thought that as long as they kept their distance from Cai Tou, even if they couldn't win, they could at least wear him down. Who would have thought that those soul-guided projectiles and rays were as fragile as paper, and they didn't do anything to Ye Qi'an.

Bei Bei glanced at her companions, raised her hand and patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder, saying, "Go on, Yuhao."

"Ahem. Senior Brother, why is it me?" Huo Yuhao looked at Bei Bei with an innocent expression.

Beibei replied matter-of-factly, "You can definitely do it."

Huo Yuhao looked at his companions for help, but they all ignored him, pretending not to see him. Even Wang Dong'er did the same. Helpless, Huo Yuhao had no choice but to walk out reluctantly. To be honest, he didn't want to face Ye Qi'an. One reason was that he couldn't beat him at all, and the other was that there was no chance of him fighting.
