Douluo: The Peerless Tang Sect - The Ordinary Life of a Supporting Character

Chapter 109 The Ultimate Fire

Although it's only the quarterfinals, almost everyone is treating this match like the final.

At dawn, on the road leading from the Star Emperor Hotel to the Star Luo Square arena, soldiers lined both sides, and the surrounding crowds were shouting loudly. The crowded people forced the soldiers at the front to use their soul power to block them.

This only includes those who didn't manage to buy tickets.

Those who had bought tickets had already entered the stands. When Wang Nan and his group entered, they were surrounded by a dense crowd.

Above the imperial city, Emperor Xu Jiawei of the Star Luo Empire stood with his civil and military officials. Beside him stood a tall, blond man in golden armor—Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger. Clearly, even they regarded this match as a final.

Upon seeing Dai Hao, Dai Yueheng in the group couldn't contain his excitement. Huo Yuhao, however, reacted much calmer than Wang Nan had expected.

Although everyone took this match very seriously, it was only the quarterfinals, so it didn't take long before Wang Nan and his group stood on the stage.

This is also the first time that all seven members of Shrek Academy's regular team have taken the stage.

Meanwhile, the opposing Sun Moon Royal Academy no longer concealed their strength, with five regular members, including captain Ma Rulong, and the Xiao Hongchen siblings also standing on the arena.

Others might think that the two pre-selected players on the field were holding back by the Sun Moon Royal Academy, but everyone on Shrek Academy knew that these two siblings were much stronger than the other two regular players.

An old man stepped down from the imperial city. Although he did not release his martial soul, the person standing next to Xu Jiawei was at least a Title Douluo.

Those familiar with him might recognize him as Huang Jinxu, the Heavenly Fiend Douluo who was hunted down by several major sects many years ago.

"I will be the referee for this match."

Huang Jinxu glanced around. "Both sides, step back to either side of the arena. Ready, begin!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a gasp of surprise erupted from the audience.

Ma Xiaotao took the lead, surrounded by seven spirit rings: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, and black, clearly demonstrating her cultivation as a seven-ring spirit saint.

The first Soul Saint to appear in the Soul Battle Tournament, a Soul Saint who was less than twenty years old, did not stop some of the spectators from cheering for his seven Soul Rings, even though some of them were not Soul Masters.

On the contrary, their opponents, the Sun and Moon Royal Academy, were not too surprised.

After all, Ma Xiaotao had shown her strength in the previous Soul Battle Tournament, but she didn't make a move this time, which was unusual for her. They could probably guess what secret she was hiding.

Wang Nan's three offensive-type Soul Masters had already rushed forward, accompanied by the control-type Soul Master Ling Luochen.

Ling Luochen's fourth spirit ring lit up, releasing icy mist that permeated the Shrek Academy area. Even Gongyang Mo's dazzling martial spirit was obscured by the icy mist, making him impossible to spot.

"The first plan."

Ma Rulong called out.

No one knew what Ma Rulong's first plan meant, but they could see that he had a silver cannon in his hand and a silver ball of light was shooting towards him at high speed.

Different soul-guided projectiles have different effects, and sometimes it is impossible to determine their specific effects before they explode.

However, Shrek Academy has also made great progress in recent years, and the soul guidance courses offered to martial soul disciples are not for nothing.

"Close your eyes!"

Wang Nan gave a low shout, and he, Ma Xiaotao, and Dai Yueheng slightly turned their heads away from the direction of the soul-guided cannon.

Sure enough, the next moment, a strong silver light filled the entire competition stage, and tens of thousands of spectators below the stage couldn't help but close their eyes in the bright light, tears streaming from the corners of their eyes.

Immediately afterwards, countless orbs of light formed from condensed soul power were released through the soul guide device, spreading out from the Sun Moon Royal Academy students like a peacock spreading its tail.

If they had been affected by that flashbang earlier, they probably wouldn't have been able to withstand this first round of attacks.

"I'll do it!"

Dai Yueheng's fourth spirit ring lit up, and the spirit guide thruster propelled his body into the air. Then, countless white lights poured towards the Sun Moon Royal Academy.

The attacks from both sides collided in the center of the arena, and the aftershocks of the collision between the soul skills and soul tools spread throughout the entire arena.

However, such aftershocks were not enough to stop Wang Nan and Ma Xiaotao from getting closer.

The second wave of attacks from the Sun Moon Royal Academy arrived once again, with all sorts of rays of light, orbs of light, and projectiles raining down. Among them were soul tools that Wang Nan recognized, as well as those he had never seen before.

Ignoring everything else, Ma Xiaotao stomped her foot and shot out.

Behind her, a dragon's roar resounded throughout the arena, and a golden dragon soared into the air. With its head raised high, the ripples that were enough to shatter space spread forward, blocking all the attacks.

The Sun and Moon Royal Academy only had time to launch two waves of attacks before Ma Xiaotao, shrouded in golden flames, appeared not far in front of them.

Surrounded by rainbow-like halos, their fourth spirit rings lit up, and huge pillars of fire erupted from beneath their feet like a volcanic eruption.

Despite their best efforts to dodge, the ring beneath their feet was so hot that they could no longer stand on it.

Especially Meng Hongchen, as Ma Xiaotao's flames approached, she already felt an unbearable suffocation. That was the extreme fire's restraint on her martial soul.

Then, Ma Xiaotao's fifth spirit ring lit up, and the flames around her gradually condensed into the shape of a phoenix.

After scanning the crowd, the phoenix bypassed Ma Rulong, who had the highest soul power level, and headed towards Meng Hongchen.

Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

Ma Xiaotao, who came from Shrek Academy, naturally knew what this meant. Since she knew in advance that Xiao Hongchen and his sister had the possibility of spirit fusion, she naturally had to take care of one of them first.

However, the Sun Moon Royal Academy couldn't just stand by and watch Ma Xiaotao's attack land. One of the contestants, Lin Xi, quickly came to Meng Hongchen's side, and a golden light emanated from him to block the attack.

Although the Invincible Shield is not cheap, Meng Hongchen is the granddaughter of Jing Hongchen, the head of Mingde Hall. If she gets injured, it won't be something that an Invincible Shield can handle once she gets back.

However, "invincibility" is always relative.

The surrounding temperature suddenly rose, and the color of the flames on the arena was gradually changing from golden red to lighter. The arena under Ma Xiaotao's feet could no longer withstand the temperature and began to melt slowly.

The invincible shield in front of Lin Xi also cracked under this high temperature.

Not only her, but the soul tools of the other people in the Sun Moon Royal Academy were also affected to varying degrees, and some of the metals used to make the soul tools were gradually softening.

This is the ultimate fire; Ma Xiaotao alone is enough to suppress all the contestants of the Sun Moon Royal Academy.

There might be another chapter in a little while.
