Douluo: Dream Overlord

"Hey! You're kidding, right?! This spear-wielding guy is dead just like that!?"

Hard Shield, who was still entangled with the spirit sword, turned around and saw this scene, and was immediately dumbfounded.

Looking at himself alone and the two unharmed Soul Masters opposite him, his heart sank.

"How could he kill a Soul Master so easily?!"

With a single sword strike, Lingjian forced back the hard shield. She looked at the contradiction pinned to the wall, then at Shiguang, who seemed completely unfazed, and couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement.

Unlike her, who was easily defended by the hard shield, Shi Guang, as a control type, actually overcame the disadvantage of her type and shot down the spear-wielding type.

This terrifying strength, capable of easily killing Soul Masters of the same level, is something even I might not be able to handle. It seems only her older sister could cope with it.

"Hey! Are you kidding me! I'm already finished, and you're still not done?"

Shi Guang raised an eyebrow and said, "Did you participate in the competition to compete for second place? You have no motivation at all."

"Try hitting a turtle shell!"

Lingjian rolled his eyes, and the force with which he swung his sword gradually increased as his emotions changed.

"You keep an eye on him, but don't kill him or let him escape!"

Shi Guang, rubbing his hands together, walked towards the two of them, saying, "I want to test my martial arts skills with him."

"You want to fight me with fists and feet?" Hard Shield was a little surprised, but when he saw Time coming over, he still wanted to run away, after all, this guy killed his teammate.

Even if one dislikes the way this spear-wielding man behaves, one cannot deny that he still possesses considerable skill.

But this kid easily cut him down from his horse. If he were to face the combined attack of him and this little girl, he would soon be on his way along with the spear.

Get serious!

Hard Shield's eyes narrowed, and the first spirit ring on the shield suddenly shone brightly.

"First Soul Skill - Vajra Tortoise Shell!"

As the hard shield injected some of its soul power into the first soul ring, it activated the soul skill within.

The hard shield in his hand quickly turned golden, and tortoise shell patterns grew on its surface.

His first soul skill allows his shield to reduce some soul skill damage and physical damage.

Hard Shield glanced at the two and chose Time, who was unarmed and a support-type character, as his target. He gripped his shield with both hands and charged towards Time.

"Be careful!"

Lingjian called out instinctively, his eyes revealing a worry he himself was unaware of.

Seeing the hard shield rushing towards him, Shi Guang calmly made a hooking motion.

"How dare you mock me! You're asking for it!"

As the hard shield drew closer to Time, and he reached the opponent, he raised the shield to protect his body and unleashed a savage charge forward with all his might.

Shi Guang easily dodged the attack with a swift movement, but the shield's speed didn't decrease; in fact, it increased significantly. He turned around and said smugly:

"Heh heh! Didn't expect that, did you! This was my plan! I had no intention of fighting you!"

This is my escape route!

A cold glint flashed in Shi Guang's eyes as he watched the hard shield rushing towards the outer boundary line.

"Another coward like this, only good for avoiding battle and running away. Haven't these rats learned their lesson yet?"

Time summoned the Remnant Dream Martial Soul, and with a faint fluctuation of spiritual power, two yellow and one purple soul rings appeared on his body.

This was a little trick that Shi Nian taught him, which allowed him to use his mental power to conceal the color of his spirit ring, but it could only conceal colors that were below the spirit ring's age limit.

After all, his one yellow and two purple spirit rings were too shocking. In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, Shi Guang plans to conceal his spirit rings in the future.

"First Soul Skill - Mental Suggestion!"

"Second Soul Skill - Sensory Confusion!"

The two soul rings of time shone brightly one after the other.

When Time is angry, he will reveal his strength, and two soul skills will hit the hard shield almost simultaneously.

Hard Shield felt as if the world before him was upside down, and all he could see was the arena ceiling stretching out beneath his feet.

The road before him was bizarre and absurd; the ground began to crumble under his footsteps.

"Damn it! This control-type Soul Master's Soul Ring effect is a mental-type Soul Skill!"

Hard Shield was momentarily stunned before realizing that he had been hit by an illusion-type soul skill.

But with his years of combat experience in the arena, he had already memorized the length and width of the field and ran forward by 'intuition'.

Amidst the puzzled gazes of the audience and the host, and with Lingjian's twitching lips, Hard Shield unexpectedly turned back and ran towards Time.

"Oh my god! The tanky fighter who ran away halfway through actually chose to return to the arena to continue fighting!"

Although the host disliked the duo's ruthless approach, he was still somewhat moved and said:

Even when facing a 1v2 situation, the tanky player still did not choose to back down! He truly embodies the unique spirit of a Soul Master!

Even though he is a defensive Soul Master, he can still charge forward fearlessly in the face of the death of his teammates and the pressure from the enemy!

This is a true Soul Master! This is a true battle! This is a truly worthy opponent!

Friends in the stands! Regardless of whether the Hardline ultimately wins or not, let's give them the warmest applause!

He is the protagonist of today's arena! A true man! He is—the Unyielding Shield!

Hearing the host's voice filled with grief and passion, the audience was also moved by Hard Shield's fearless spirit and cheered him on.

Many even began cursing the Divine Swords duo, demanding their surrender and defeat, thus adding a tragic yet mythical layer to the story of this fearless warrior's triumph.

He acted as if he were a real hero.

But the next moment, amidst the cheers and applause of the audience, the hard shield brushed past the frontal light and charged straight forward.

The audience fell silent, and the host didn't know what to say.

Could it be that they are conserving their strength, preparing to launch a surprise attack from a hidden angle?

Lingjian looked at this scene with a strange expression. With her insight and experience, she could naturally see the clues from the hard shield's bewildered gaze and chaotic soul power.

This guy was clearly affected by a mental-type soul skill.

It is obviously impossible for an outsider to cause such a hard shield, because the arena will not allow or condone anyone from outside the arena to do something that affects the Soul Masters inside the arena.

Her sister once said that the guardians responsible for maintaining order and preventing Soul Masters from interfering with the matches in the Soul Arena are all at least Soul Emperor level experts.

Now that we've ruled out external factors, the internal factors become clear.

The spirit sword's eyes looked at time.

"What are you looking at! Haven't you ever seen a handsome guy before?"

At that moment, Shi Guang grabbed the hard shield that had just passed by, and saw that his legs were still pushing forward.

Time condensed its soul power into its hand, and with a punch, smashed the top of his head, easily blowing the unsuspecting opponent's head apart.

Blood mixed with yellowish-white liquid splattered everywhere, but fortunately, Time had condensed soul power on his body beforehand, thus avoiding the disgusting task of cleaning the cloak.

It's as simple as a balloon popping.

As Shi Guang thought to himself, he noticed the spirit sword's blank stare and shrugged, saying:

"What's wrong? I'm doing this for our own good, so that no one with no sense will cause us trouble in the Soul Arena in the future."

After all, a good start prevents a hundred more.
