Douluo Continent: This Soul Master is Too Bizarre and Unpredictable

Chapter 207 The Top Six of the Tournament are Revealed

Seeing that Davis had used his fourth soul skill, Huo Wushuang was not careless. His second soul ring shone brightly, and a layer of red transparent light shield protecting his entire body was erected on his body.

"boom--"

The dazzling light that was unleashed struck Huo Wushuang, and Davis below was instantly invigorated.

Davis knew that Zhu Zhuyun's inexplicable surrender rendered the Netherworld White Tiger trump card useless, and with his five teammates being instantly wiped out by Huo Wu, Xingluo Royal Academy was doomed to lose this battle, with no chance of victory whatsoever.

But even though both are defeats, there are significant differences in how they were lost and how many opponents' players were eliminated before the defeat.

He didn't want to lose too badly if he could.

Fortunately, the other members of the Blazing Fire Team didn't seem inclined to gang up on him. As long as he could take down Huo Wushuang one-on-one, even if he lost in the end, it wouldn't be too embarrassing.

"snort--"

However, just when Davis felt he had victory in the bag, suddenly, a sharp pain shot through his mind, a trickle of bright red blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, his face turned deathly pale, and his body collapsed to his knees uncontrollably.

"Heh~, a psychological attack?"

In mid-air, Huo Wushuang, who was hit by a mental attack skill but was completely unharmed, curled his lip in disdain.

If Davis's fourth soul skill were a proper offensive soul skill, his second soul skill, Crimson Flame Crystal Shield, might have been forcibly destroyed.

After all, as fellow five-ring Soul Kings, even if his overall qualities far surpass Davis's, his own second defensive Soul Skill, which he had used for a hundred years, would most likely not be able to withstand Davis's fourth offensive Soul Skill.

However, this move is a mental attack, so it poses no threat to Huo Wushuang whatsoever.

With the "Taiyin Refining Spirit" technique, a unique skill specializing in cultivating spiritual power, even though Huo Wushuang is a powerful offensive Soul King, in terms of spiritual power alone, even if he cannot compare with a level 70 Soul Master, he is definitely not a weakling among the sixth-ring Soul Masters.

When using psychological tactics, the worst thing you can do is to be outnumbered and outmatched.

Davis's mental strength was far lower than his, yet he took the White Tiger Annihilation attack head-on without a scratch. On the other hand, Davis, as the one who launched the mental attack, had to suffer a mental backlash. It was a classic case of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead.

At this moment, Davis never expected that his sure-fire strike would not only fail to deliver a fatal blow to Huo Wushuang, but also suffer a mental backlash.

Isn't Huo Wushuang a power-attack type Soul Master? How come his mental strength is so strong?

Although Davis couldn't be sure exactly how strong Huo Wushuang's mental power was, it was definitely far beyond his own, at least reaching the level of an ordinary six-ring Soul Master.

"Head. Soul Bone?"

After a while, enduring the pain of the mental backlash, Davis covered his head and gritted his teeth as he asked Huo Wushuang.

You had such strong mental power, why didn't you say so earlier? Now I'm so embarrassed.

"Hehe~"

Huo Wushuang smiled but didn't answer. Instead, he asked, "Are you going to admit defeat?"

Upon hearing this, Davis's pale face immediately turned a few shades red, well, from anger.

But since he was outmatched, he had nothing to say. Besides, making threats or finding excuses to expand his influence after losing would only make him look worse. So he could only glare at Huo Wushuang resentfully and nod helplessly.

Then, the referee stepped onto the arena and announced loudly: "In the third round of the finals, Blazing Fire Academy versus Star Luo Royal Academy, Blazing Fire Academy wins! Congratulations to Blazing Fire Academy for advancing to the fourth round of the finals."

After the three matches are completed, there is one final match remaining in the third round.

However, compared to the previous three matches, the fourth match did not receive as much attention.

Both teams are from the Star Luo Empire, and on paper, they are only slightly stronger than Shrek Academy. Each team has only three and four four-ring Soul Masters, respectively. Luck played a large part in their ability to enter the third round.

After a series of clashes between seemingly weak teams, the academy team named Knox narrowly defeated their opponents and advanced to the fourth round of the finals.

Thus, the six teams that have qualified for the fourth round of the Soul Master Competition finals have been determined.

The teams included the Spirit Hall team, the Blazing Fire team, the Divine Wind team, the Knox team, the Tianshui team (which ranked second in the two empires' qualifying rounds and received a bye in the third round of the finals), and the Delos team.

Undoubtedly, after the third round of the competition, among the three factions of Heaven Dou, Star Luo, and Spirit Hall, the Star Luo Empire had already been eliminated.

Compared to the Spirit Hall, Blazing Fire, Heavenly Water, and Divine Wind, the Star Luo Empire's Knox Team and Delos Team are far inferior in strength. Let alone winning the championship, if they don't have a stroke of luck and don't face each other in the fourth round, they definitely won't make it to the fifth round.

Of course, if there might be some behind-the-scenes manipulation in the first three rounds of the finals, then there is definitely some behind-the-scenes manipulation in the fourth round.

However, this behind-the-scenes manipulation does not refer to the Spirit Hall, as the organizer, acting selfishly and deliberately arranging for strong teams other than the Spirit Hall team to meet each other.

Instead, they will try to match strong teams with weak teams to eliminate teams that are not strong but have achieved good results in major competitions due to good luck.

Otherwise, if the strong teams are eliminated early by this year's champions, and the weaker teams take advantage of the situation and make it to the final fifth round, then the final round of the competition won't be as exciting.

Since there were only four matches, and it was still early before noon when the third round ended, and with nothing to do, and since it was his first time in Wuhun City, Mu Yang decided to take Shui Bing'er for a good stroll around Wuhun City.

As for safety, Mu Yang wasn't worried. The Spirit Hall was the organizer of the finals of this year's Soul Master Competition. If any contestant got into trouble in Spirit City, the Spirit Hall would lose face no matter which faction intervened.

Just like in the original story, even though the Spirit Hall knew that Tang San was Tang Hao's son, they didn't do anything underhanded in Spirit City.

If Xiao Wu's true identity as a spirit beast hadn't been exposed at the end, Tang San would definitely have been able to leave Wuhun City safely.

Of course, once the Soul Master Competition ends and the participants leave Wuhun City, the Spirit Hall will no longer be responsible for their personal safety.

Mu Yang's plan was excellent, but a small mishap occurred along the way, ruining his date plans.

Seeing that Mu Yang was inviting his older sister out, his sister-in-law Shui Yue'er objected and interfered.

Despite all his efforts, he still couldn't shake off Shuiyue'er, so Muyang had no choice but to take her along as a burden.

Just as the three were about to set off, they ran into Zhanlang Feng Xiaotian, who came to fawn over Huowu's older cousin.

What started as a date between two people turned into a group of six people going shopping and having dinner together.

On the streets of Wuhun City, Huo Wushuang, walking behind, couldn't help but fall into deep thought as he watched Feng Xiaotian, who was walking at the forefront, shamelessly serving Huo Wu, and Mu Yang, who was holding Shui Bing'er's hand and sticking to Shui Yue'er's side.
