Douluo Continent: Starting from Killing Arou with a Single Sword.

Chapter 14 Victory

"One spear, one sword, sending the opponent flying; the dragon and phoenix strike together, sure to be stunning; raging flames engulf, leaving the opponent roaring in utter helplessness!"

When Huo Xiao shouted the slogan like Er Shazi, the four people behind him fell silent and lowered their heads in unison.

It's nothing much, just incredibly awkward. The kind of awkwardness you could figure out with your toes.

"Hello everyone, we are the Dragon and Phoenix Sword and Spear Team!"

……

Clearly, the five people on the other side were stunned, looking at Ning Mumu and her group with a blank expression. The referee also remained silent, but his good manners kept him composed.

There was a moment of silence in the audience. Someone recognized Huo Xiao and loudly repeated the slogan.

"Go, Dragon and Phoenix Sword and Bird Gun Team!"

The cheers grew louder and louder, but as for the opposing team, sorry, they didn't know their team name and couldn't shout it out.

Ning Mumu scanned the area with her divine sense, but only casually; she didn't check the soul power levels. A blind box approach is necessary to generate enough surprises.

Opposite them were three men and two women. The one in blue was Yu Tianxin, and the one with yellow hair was Zhao Lu. There was a white-haired girl, a black-haired man in purple, and a black-haired man in white. Fortunately, their clothes weren't uniform, making them easy to identify.

"Everyone, we'll play it by ear," Ning Mumu said at the last second.

"Hello everyone, I'm Fengfeng, the host of the finals. After several days of competition, we've finally arrived at the most exciting finals. All ten contestants are exceptionally talented, so which team will claim the championship? Let's wait and see!"

"The Grand Sect Competition, Final Round, begins!"

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone's martial spirits were activated. The beast martial spirits and weapon martial spirits were colorful and made the whole venue incredibly beautiful.

"Lei Yu—" Ning Mumu was the first to charge forward with her sword. She and Lei Yu took the lead and tested the waters on the other side.

The blue-haired girl smiled, and the Overlord Spear moved accordingly. "Here it comes."

Both of them were extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye they were on the other side.

Ning Mumu leaped into the air, her sword dancing in unison, her robes fluttering, like a fairy. "Seven Kill Sword Dance!"

The Seven Kill Sword accelerated continuously, its sword shadows overlapping, and it charged into the opposing team in a spinning circle.

"boom--"

The sword shadows exploded, disrupting the opposing team. Lei Yu then activated his first soul skill, "Spear Split," successfully forcing back the opposing weapon-wielding soul master and engaging in combat with him.

Of course, the opposing side was no slouch either, and they all reacted quickly. Yu Tianxin was the first to be attacked; he seemed to be more familiar with the use of soul skills and launched a strike at Ning Mumu in the air.

"Brother, I'm your opponent!" Yu Tianheng immediately switched to Ning Mumu and used his first soul skill, "Lightning Dragon Claw".

"You've grown a lot," Yu Tianxin smiled. "Then let me see how you perform!"

"Lightning Dragon Claw!"

With identical soul skills, it's clear who is stronger and who is weaker. Another explosion rang out; Yu Tianxin only swayed slightly, while Yu Tianheng took two steps back.

"Let's continue!"

Both brothers were competitive and proud. This was a chance to prove themselves, and they both gave it their all, going head-to-head.

After Ning Mumu stepped down, Shui Bing'er and Huo Xiao took over. Similarly, they faced two boys who also possessed beast-type martial souls.

Using fire and ice alternately, the two boys seemed to be struggling to keep up, showing signs of weakness. However, this was normal, as the black-haired, purple-clad boy's martial soul was just an ordinary white tiger, while the black-haired, white-clad boy's martial soul was a venomous snake, naturally inferior to Huo Xiao and Shui Bing'er's top-tier martial souls.

However, Zhao Lu, the agility-type Soul Master, is a bit different; her Soul Skills are quite unique. Her first Soul Skill, "Phantom Whip," is deceptive, easily influencing those with lower Soul Power than her, preventing them from finding the real Zhao Lu and leading to their defeat.

Shui Bing'er defeated her using extreme ice and snow, freezing her completely. Ning Mumu, however, is invisible and cannot be deceived. But Zhao Lu's second soul skill is even more troublesome.

"Entangle—"

Yes, Zhao Lu's second soul skill, Entanglement, would wrap around Ning Mumu from countless places. The vines were covered with countless sharp thorns and had a paralyzing effect, so Ning Mumu kept dodging.

Fortunately, Zhao Lu's attacks were somewhat predictable. After figuring out the situation, Ning Mumu used the Qianling Sect's technique "Shifting Steps and Changing Scenery" to dodge while also counterattacking.

What? Ning Mumu actually dodged the vines! Zhao Lu was somewhat frustrated. Her second soul skill was quite powerful, capable of entangled some Soul Masters with low soul power. Now, however, the vines were completely ineffective against Ning Mumu. Could it be that she had already become a Soul Master?

At the same moment, Lei Yu was sent flying, retreating a good ten meters before finally stopping. "Ning Mumu, come here!"

"Alright!" Ning Mumu gripped the Seven Kill Sword, paused, gathered her soul power, and delivered a strike to Zhao Lu, forcing her back. Then, using the momentum of the vines, she instantly confronted the white-haired girl.

A flawless version after careful inspection!

"Now, it's my turn to fight you." Ning Mumu flipped over, her sword moving with her. The white-haired girl's martial soul was also a sword, but she possessed great strength and could unleash tremendous power even without using her soul skills.

"Then let's try this move." Ning Mumu jumped up, and the sword floated in front of her. Ning Mumu chanted the incantation, and a blue lotus shape appeared between her brows. When she opened her eyes, the blue lotus bloomed.

"Azure Lotus Sword—"

This technique was taught to Ning Mumu by the neighboring sect. It emphasizes using softness to overcome hardness, but to unleash this move, one must exert a force of at least a thousand jin. The sword technique not only possesses its own power but can also neutralize the opponent's attacks. Once used, it is almost impossible for someone of the same level to escape.

"First Soul Skill, Dragon's Roar—"

The white-haired girl's hair fluttered, and the sword in her hand emitted a "humming" sound. The next second, the sword that had slipped from her hand collided with the Azure Lotus Sword, bursting out with multicolored light.

Ning Mumu took a step back, brushing her sleeves clean, avoiding the dust. The white-haired girl, however, looked rather disheveled, collapsing to the ground. She asked incredulously, "Why are your sword techniques so powerful?"

"It's from training." Ning Mumu wasn't lying. In the cultivation world, she insisted on training her physical body every day, and her strength naturally increased. After arriving in Douluo Continent, she didn't slack off either, and even worked harder. Unless there were special circumstances, she would train her physical body in order to wield her sword.

"Alright, let's continue!" The girl instantly regained her composure, her eyes brightening. "You're the first person to easily parry my sword strikes."

"Second Soul Skill, Dragon Shadow Sword—"

A colossal dragon shadow appeared and roared twice. Then, the dragon transformed into a sword, seven or eight meters long, and charged towards Ning Mumu without hesitation.

"My second soul skill carries the shadow of a dragon. Not only is its attack power powerful, but it also comes with a soul-dissipating skill. Let's see if you can withstand it."

"Heh," Ning Mumu smiled, the Seven Kill Sword already eager to be drawn. Ning Mumu gripped it tightly, the tip of the sword lightly touching the ground, leaving a blur in its wake.

"Watch closely, the fifth move of the Seven Kills and Nine Absolutes—"
