Douluo: Legend of the Dragon King - The Voice of the Purple Emperor

"Judging from the odds, the Purple Gold King should have a clear advantage, while the odds for the Nether King are less than half of his. I wonder if the Nether King can bring us a miraculous battle. I believe he has a chance."

This is the referee's voice on a soul-conducting device...

Above the competition arena, two beams of light simultaneously appeared, one yellow beam representing number 33 and the other blue beam representing number 142. Both beams of light began to rise at the same time.

The two of them simultaneously looked up at the pillar of light in the sky. Gu You cursed inwardly, "The Federation is really good at making money."

This means they're starting to bet money and gamble!

The two beams of light rose rapidly. At first, they were evenly matched, but soon, Gu You's yellow beam of light seemed to soar straight up, quickly surpassing the beam of light of the 142nd Nether King, until it was more than twice as tall.

The referee looked at both sides and shouted, "Begin!"

At that very moment, contestant number 142, known as the Nether King, seemed to suddenly become empty, his entire body taking on a transparent quality. At the same time, specks of light shone on his body, and a layer of light blue battle armor covered his entire body.

Like his body, the light blue battle armor had a transparent feel, and the wings on his back were not large, folded up and not opened, giving him an ethereal quality.

Gu You's expression also turned serious. His immunity to physical attacks made him somewhat uncomfortable.

But a ghost is still a ghost, and is more inclined towards darkness. Although I don't have the attribute of light, my bloodline aura of extreme yang is something a ghost cannot resist. As for how far the two can fight, we'll only know after they clash.

King You was very cautious. He had carefully studied Gu You's combat videos and was quite wary of his explosive power. Physical immunity wasn't truly immunity to everything, especially since energy impacts still had a significant effect on him. His greatest advantage lay in his mental strength, which far surpassed that of other Soul Masters of the same level, particularly in anticipating the enemy's moves.

Upon learning that his opponent would be Gu You, he immediately devised a strategy: to use hit-and-run tactics to wear down Gu You's momentum as much as possible. As the saying goes, rigidity cannot last forever; Gu You's fighting style, so masculine, must have its limits. If he could withstand Gu You's initial burst of frenzied fury, then his opportunity would arrive. He was very patient and not in a hurry at all.

Gu You took a step forward, and the arena instantly cracked at the spot where he landed.

In the next instant, Gu You shot straight towards his opponent like a colorful meteor.

Instantly, a deafening roar of cheers erupted from the stands.

What they loved most was the Purple-Gold King's overwhelming and powerful burst of energy. Although the battle was relatively short, that brief burst of energy was enough to get their blood pumping and leave a lasting impression.

The King of the Netherworld flickered and retreated swiftly, showing no intention of engaging Gu You in a direct confrontation. None of his seven spirit rings—four purple and three black—were shining. As he moved, his entire body seemed transparent, leaving faint afterimages in the air. His speed was so great that he reached the other edge of the arena in the blink of an eye.

Gu You paused in the center of the arena. Generally, the best way for a Soul Master to deal with such an opponent is to use a wide-area attack to eliminate them, leaving them nowhere to hide. Such incredible speed inevitably leads to a lack of defensive capabilities.

He also didn't believe that the King of You could truly be immune to all physical attacks.

Gu You made a gesture with his right hand, and the Golden Dragon Spear fell into his palm.

Gu You slowly raised the golden dragon spear in his hand, and countless dense spear shadows appeared behind him as well.

The sheer density of the gunfire was enough to send chills down anyone's spine.

This……

King You was stunned; he knew he was in trouble.

But in the instant he froze, the gunshot had already struck, creating a particularly awkward situation.

King You teleported away at incredible speed, with the spear shadow following closely behind him, striking the arena and sending up clouds of dust.

"Can you hide forever? With such high speed, how long can you sustain this kind of exertion?" Gu You sneered.

King You let out a fierce roar, and the blue aura around his body suddenly intensified. He knew that if things continued like this, he would lose sooner or later, so he had no choice but to take a gamble! The blue light suddenly condensed, turning into a blue needle, and shot straight at Gu You.

However, how could Gu You possibly give him such an opportunity? As the blue needle swiftly dodged amidst the spear's light, relying on its powerful mental strength to evade and assess the situation, two beams of light, like purple lightning, suddenly shot out from Gu You's eyes, directly illuminating the blue needle.

A mental shock!

King You was not alarmed but delighted. The blue light on the blue needle surged. Was it a collision of spiritual forces? This was originally his trump card.

However, at the very moment their spiritual energies collided, he was horrified to discover that Gu You's spiritual world was like a divine realm. The next instant, he felt a warm, indescribable comfort throughout his body. His own spirit was completely enveloped within the other's spiritual sea.

How is this possible? I've already entered the Spirit Abyss Realm. Isn't his specialty strength and explosive power? Why...?

"You..." King You murmured, uttering this single word. The next moment, his body suddenly collapsed, turning into specks of light and disappearing from the arena.

"Number 33 wins!" The referee's voice echoed throughout the stadium.

The golden dragon spear that Gu You retrieved stood diagonally on the ground, with the other end of the spear pointing diagonally towards the sky.

In an instant, the entire competition venue erupted in cheers.

From beginning to end, the audience barely noticed that King You was immune; Gu You consistently suppressed King You to death. Then, with a single burst of power, King You was defeated.

The commentators were completely stunned. How could this be considered a counter-counter? It was more like a counter-counter! How could the You King, who had been quite successful in the group stage, become so vulnerable in front of the Zi Jin King? This was a complete victory. From beginning to end, the You King had no chance to fight back at all.

The final act of resistance was forced upon them.

The round of 16 to 8 means that Guyou has entered the top eight.

With a gentle wave of his golden dragon spear, Gu You greeted the audience before walking off the stage, guided by the waitress who had brought him in.

Back in the lounge.

Just as Gu You finished his match, Ye Xinglan found himself in a tough battle.

Her opponent was the top player from another group.

Ye Xinglan's opponent wore the number nine, which was also the only single-digit number among those who entered the final stage.
