Douluo: The Peerless Sun and Moon Mechanical God

Chapter 77 Pre-match training, Sun and Moon teams face off in an internal battle, a thrilling three-person combo attack (4K)

The next day, early in the morning.

The pristine white school uniform accentuated the exquisite, curvaceous figure of the sacred angel. Ye Guyi lightly tossed her long hair, and her golden strands cascaded down like a curtain, shimmering with a beautiful glow.

Miss Angel swayed gracefully and arrived at the neighboring courtyard with practiced ease. She met up with Lin Qing and they headed to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. However, what came into view was a silver-haired creature with a weak and listless aura.

"You look pale and green. Didn't you sleep well last night?"

"I did extra practice with Sister Bing'er."

Lin Qing replied sullenly.

Hyotei is a pest!

Ah Bing is extremely vengeful and always keeps her word. She dragged Lin Qing into a night battle, but poor Qing was no match for the seventh most ferocious beast on the continent. Even with the help of Cerberus, it was the same. In the end, he was trampled underfoot by the 1.5-meter-tall twin-tailed loli and humiliated mercilessly.

The stunningly beautiful image of Hyotei might excite some mischievous youths, but Lin Qing is a gentleman with a perfectly functioning XP system. His only thought is to endure hardship and bide his time, for fortunes change and one should never underestimate a young man's potential!

Qingyi left her warm love nest, Zhanghua Garden, and headed straight for the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Today, the weather in Mingdu is terrible. It has nothing to do with sunshine. The sky is gray and gloomy, and gusts of cold wind howl through the city. The biting cold sweeps through the city, and the dense dark clouds completely block out the sunlight, as if it were the prelude to an impending storm, making people feel depressed.

Ye Guyi frowned slightly. The Holy Angel is a symbol of holiness, light, and fire, so naturally she dislikes damp and cold rainy days. She then quickened her pace, and Lin Qing followed closely behind her. The Ultimate Gold didn't care much about the changes in the surrounding environment.

Lin Qing did not intend to reveal the assassination of the Brilliant Prince last night to anyone other than the Ice Emperor. In his memories from his previous life, the Brilliant Grand Duke held a high position and guarded a territory of Sun and Moon. Later, he launched a rebellion because he could not suppress his ambition to become king.

Lin Qing didn't care whether the Brilliant Duke had been provoked by Wang Shaojie's father and had just sent his heir Zhao Yang to lead a suicide attack. The blood feud was already irreconcilable, and he didn't mind taking the time to go to the Brilliant Duke's fiefdom to annihilate the traitor who had eaten the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard.

Those who betray their country and start an army must have some assets, right? We'll pack them all up and use them as compensation for emotional distress!

After finishing the nutritious breakfast specially prepared by the Red Dust Class, the two headed to Test Zone Zero.

This largest testing ground of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy has been opened more and more frequently in the past year, gradually becoming the exclusive training ground for the Red Dust Class.

The chaotic battle of a hundred people left the field in ruins, and General Qing's special training of Corporal Xiao Ju also took a lot of time. However, after one night, the excellent school engineering team restored the Zero Test Area to its original state, with the alloy ground smooth and flat, waiting for the Soul Guidance Cannon to inspect it.

Qingyi was the last member of the second team to arrive. The others had been waiting for a long time and had been sleeping soundly all night. Ju Zi was full of energy again and left her best friend Ke Ke behind to beg Lin Qing to continue training her.

The eldest son of the White Tiger Duke is a regular member of Shrek Academy; this news is a million times more effective than doping.

If you can't beat your father, beat your son first. Ju Zi is looking forward to the Soul Master Competition, hoping that the little food-type Soul Master will unleash amazing power and make Dai Yueheng crawl on the ground. For this, he has gone through all kinds of hardships and trained hard before the competition. He is sure to impress all the audience and get rid of the title of Sugar!

Lin Qing readily agreed. When Orange fought, she was so sweet and charming. Her court swordsmanship, which she had practiced for two and a half years, was hard to watch. Her delicate body couldn't withstand the recoil of the soul-guided cannon. He really wanted to witness with his own eyes what kind of style Orange Teacher would eventually achieve.

Upon seeing the arrival of the Holy Angel, Nana dashed to stand guard beside Ye Guyi. Now freed from the cycle of reincarnation, the girl, who had no relatives, wholeheartedly served her savior, considering herself the Holy Angel's most loyal fanatic, even willing to serve as his concubine.

Not far away, the two white-haired siblings were still fighting each other. Xiao Hongchen gently rubbed his chin, his blue-green heterochromatic eyes carefully scanning his sister's face, and said seriously, "Meng, your forehead seems a little purple."

"Get out of here! I'll shove a handful of Ice Toad Poison into your mouth!"

As the legendary embodiment of "bullying one's own people," Meng Hongchen glared with her icy blue eyes and unleashed the Eighteen Subduing Toad Palms, causing her older brother to beg for mercy and cry out that his younger sister didn't appreciate her kindness.

"Serves you right for being so talkative!"

After dealing with her ungrateful, idiotic older brother, Meng Hongchen clapped her hands and was about to try to gain favor with Lin Qing when a sudden chill ran through her body.

The chill went straight to her bones, and Xiaomeng shivered. She stopped halfway through her step, looked up at the dark clouds on the horizon, and let out a barely perceptible snort.

Fifteen minutes later, the chubby Jing Hongchen squeezed into the Zero Test Zone. He was in high spirits, and to the naked eye, his waistline had expanded again, seemingly exceeding his height. Seven young men in Mingde Hall uniforms followed the Hall Master respectfully.

The identities of the newcomers are obvious: the reserve team of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy in the previous competition, and the Sun Moon First Team in this year's Soul Master Competition.

The two teams lined up in two rows, the fourteen members gazing at each other from afar, trying to discern the ever-changing expressions in each other's eyes.

Lin Qing took the lead in the team without hesitation, facing Ma Rulong, the captain of the Sun Moon Team One and the only six-ring Soul Emperor under the age of twenty at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

As the gazes of the fourteen trainees met, the Zero Test Zone was filled with the smoke of battle, and sparks seemed to fly.

Things are different now. Team Two is not a reserve team, which means that there is no difference in quality between the two teams. They are all outstanding talents from the top soul master academy on the continent, and they will never admit defeat or back down. Both sides believe that their own team should take the lead.

Healthy competition is beneficial to students' cultivation. Looking at the passionate young disciples, Jing Hongchen nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile, "Given that a group of outstanding students with exceptional talent have emerged in the academy, after discussion among all the senior members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, it has been unanimously decided to send two regular teams to Star Luo City to participate in this year's Soul Master Competition and strive for the championship."

Congratulations on becoming one of you. The entire academy has high hopes for you. From today until the start of the competition, I will personally oversee practical training to cultivate your teamwork.

One team consists of disciples from Mingdetang, and the other team consists of students from Hongchen Class. You study in different fields and rarely interact on a daily basis.

Today marks the day we meet. From now on, we will be comrades-in-arms in the competition and rivals in our internal competition. Now, let's introduce our skills and abilities to each other.

"Team one, go first."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Rulong stepped forward, staring intently at Lin Qing's slightly cold, silver-gray eyes, and said loudly, "Team leader Ma Rulong, disciple of Mingde Hall, Martial Soul Big-Headed Spirit Ape."

With a Soul Power cultivation level of six rings and a Soul Master level of seven, he excels in mid-to-long-range combat and Soul Tool creation, and is proficient in both offensive and control-oriented Soul Master specializations.

A six-ring Soul Emperor and a seventh-level Soul Master—each of these is a realm that ordinary students can only look up to. Combined, they forge Ma Rulong's unshakeable leadership position. Even a powerful beast like Xiao Hongchen, with his divine beast bloodline, cannot defeat Ma Rulong in a one-on-one fight at his current age.

The tall, thin young man scratched his head: "Mika, a level five Soul Master, skilled in both ranged and melee combat. My Martial Soul isn't strong, not as strong as yours, so I won't embarrass myself by showing it off."

"Chen Fei/Chen An, Level 5 Soul Master".

A pair of brothers who looked alike followed closely behind. Chen Fei, who was a year older, said, "Our martial souls are Flash Birds. We have different cultivation paths. I am a speed-type aerial ranged soul master, while Xiao An is a melee soul master who focuses on agility and attack."

"Li Yan, Martial Soul: Li Huo".

The red-haired youth grinned and looked at Lin Qing, the leader of the second team: "Li Huo is a mutated fire element, but it is not as incomparable as Lin Qing's mutated mechanical element. The mutation of the martial soul has mixed some impurities into Li Huo, so it can only be used to assist the soul tool in combat. Therefore, I am a level 5 elemental soul master, who makes fire attribute soul tools to cooperate with the martial soul in combat."

"Xiao Xiafeng, Martial Soul: Steamed Bun, Food-type Soul King, Level 5 Turret Soul Master," the chubby Soul Master said with a smile.

The last unassuming young man spoke up: "Lin Xi, Martial Soul: Unyielding Shield, Level 5 Defensive Soul Master."

One Soul Emperor and six Soul Kings—this is the profound foundation of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, which has been ranked second for thousands of years. In the Mingde Hall, the holy land of Soul Masters, the competition will only be more intense. The seven students who can stand out must have some special skills.

After the first team finished their self-introductions, Lin Qing, representing the second team, began: "Lin Qing, Martial Soul Mechanical Element, Soul King cultivation, Level 6 Soul Master, currently has not chosen a cultivation direction, proficient in all four types of Soul Guidance Devices: ranged, melee, attack, and defense."

Upon hearing this, the Sun and Moon Team gasped. Lin Qing had only been enrolled for a year, and given his young age, it was not surprising that he had not yet decided on his cultivation direction.

However, it covers almost all types of Soul Masters in both close and long-range offense and defense. In other words, what this arrogant guy is implying is that he knows a lot of powerful Soul Tools, and it's impossible to pick out a single direction!

"Ye Guyi, Martial Soul: Bright Swan, Five-Ring Soul King, Level 5 High-Altitude Soul Instructor."

"Laughing at the Mortal World, Martial Soul: Three-Legged Golden Toad, Five-Ring Soul King, Level 5 Ranged Explosive Soul Instructor."

"Dream of the Red Dust, Martial Soul: Zhu Qingbing Toad, Five-Ring Soul King, Level 5 Melee Soul Instructor."

Orange, Coco, and Nana, the two teams announced their cultivation directions one by one. At first glance, the personnel configuration of the six Soul Kings and one Soul Sect was inferior to that of the first team. However, none of the fourteen students in the two teams had such naive ideas. The reason was simple: the four Heavenly Kings of Qingyi Xiaomeng were too overpowered, especially Lin Qing, who controlled the ultimate gold.

Upon learning the battle situation from the thirty-six Mingde Hall losers, one team nearly dislocated their jaws. The seven members of the Hongchen Class were like dragons crossing the river. No wonder Jing Hongchen temporarily changed the system and insisted on forming a second main team to compete for the championship of this competition. They were indeed qualified to move the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy!

Suddenly, the Zero Test Zone became so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Team Two stared intently at Team One.

Lin Qing and Xiao Hongchen locked their attention on Ma Rulong simultaneously. The latter, not to be outdone, glared back at Lin Qing with both eyes, one against two. Ye Guyi glanced at the Chen brothers, silently calculating how long it would take to deal with the two Flash Birds if the Starry Divine Needle and the Aurora Sword were to be unleashed at the same time.

Orange looked at Xiao Xiafeng. Both Mantou and Orange had food-type martial souls, so she could refer to the other's development path. However, the turret-type soul master was bulky and cumbersome, which seemed unsuitable for her. If she wanted to fight against the White Tiger that had been passed down for ten thousand years, Teacher Sugar Orange had a long way to go.

Everyone picked out objects that interested them, but Meng Hongchen lowered her head, her pearly teeth sinking deep into her red lips, her exquisite and moving features contorted in a frown, as if she were trying her best to endure immense pain.

Jing Hongchen stood between the two teams and said loudly, "This is our first meeting. The practical training arranged by the Dean is very simple. It's a friendly seven-person team battle, with Team One facing off against Team Two!"

Personal combat is the quickest way for everyone to get to know each other. At the same time, the friendly match has another purpose: Team One and Team Two are two equal regular teams. When they arrive at the Soul Master Tournament battlefield in the future, which captain will give command and who will arrange the tactics?

The friendly match decided everything; the winning team will be promoted to the main team, their captain will have unquestionable and absolute command authority, and they will be rewarded with a splendid debut for the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy!

These words caused an uproar among everyone!

Previously, the Sun and Moon teams had a clear hierarchy. The reserve team was like a child going out to broaden their horizons, only participating in the first few battles to make an appearance, and basically sitting on the bench in subsequent major battles.

The situation is completely different this year. If the supreme authority of a home team and its captain is not formally established before departure, the two teams will inevitably clash over the number of spots to participate. If not handled properly, it could even lead to internal strife!

Jing Hongchen knew perfectly well that the cunning and shrewd Master Mingde, adhering to the principle of neutrality of not arranging, not interfering, and not hinting, had passed the buck back to the fourteen genius disciples. Let's have a good fight and settle things with our fists!

The atmosphere in "Empty One" was thick with tension; without a doubt, all fourteen trainees were the best of their generation.

Before being completely defeated, the first team would inevitably be unwilling to be trampled on by the second team, whose cultivation level was lower.

Team Two is used to being arrogant and proud. Qing Tiandi, Brother Xiao, Breaking Bad Xiao Meng—which of them is a coward?

As we all know, humility and genius cannot coexist. Jing Hongchen is giving them the opportunity to establish their authority today. Their goal is to crush the top team and make the second team the main force in the competition!

"Both sides, create some distance and discuss tactics in three minutes!" Jing Hongchen, always eager for drama, added, "The Dean kindly reminds you that this battle concerns the main force of the tournament, and even the precious spot in the finals against Shrek Academy. Don't miss this opportunity!"

"What do we do?"

Xiao Hongchen asked Lin Qing, rubbing his hands together excitedly, "From what Grandpa said, if we win, we can get a tactical status at the level of the regular team, while the losers will be a reserve team with no rights, and whether they can play depends entirely on the mood of the regular team captain."

"Bone-Clad Orange Cocoa, the other two are too old to participate in the next competition. The seven of us can't afford to lose. How about we just combine our powers?"

Brother Xiao's true colors are revealed: he's been dreaming of acquiring the ultimate gold!

"Everyone----"

Meng Hongchen spoke softly, enduring the increasingly unbearable pain in her limbs, and said with difficulty, "I'm sorry, I'm not at my peak condition today. I don't want to be a burden to you. It's best to finish this battle quickly!"

"Qing, bro, let's unleash our electrifying three-man combo and give Team One a truly shocking spectacle, a spectacle born from the power of the ultimate gold and the mortal realm!"
