Douluo: The Peerless Sun and Moon Mechanical God

Chapter 83 Evil Fire Spreads Across the Plains: Ma Xiaotao, The Great Wilderness Imprisons the Azure Emperor, The Sun and Moon Are Truly Different This Year (4K)

As the sun slowly rises in the eastern sky, its warm rays bathe the city of Xingluo.

Today is the opening day of the Soul Master Competition. Xingluo Square is packed with people. Spectators from all over the world arrived early at the stands, eagerly awaiting this grand event held every five years.

As dawn broke, the teams gradually left the Star Emperor Hotel. Seeing the massive crowd, they felt immense pressure. These Soul Master geniuses under the age of twenty instinctively straightened their chests, maintained their aloof personas, and walked gracefully into the plaza, where they sat in the preparation area, waiting for the battle to begin.

Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy set off in full force. Fourteen students wore uniform white battle suits. Mingde Hall Master Jing Hongchen and Unbreakable Douluo Zheng Zhan led the team into battle, while Starry Sky Douluo Ye Yulin chose to remain hidden. This level nine high-altitude soul master did not want to show his face, adhering to the truth of always keeping something in reserve, and concealing a high-level combat power.

Lin Qing walked ahead, her long silver-gray hair fluttering in the wind. On both sides of the road stood many residents of Xingluo City who hadn't managed to get tickets. They were reluctant to leave Xingluo Square and came to see the team's players in person.

As the teams passed by, the residents of Xingluo were quickly drawn to their unique appearances. However, upon seeing the shining emblem of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy on their left chests, they couldn't help but sigh with regret.

It's a pity that someone so handsome is a student of the Sun and Moon Academy.

From the day he joined the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Lin Qing was mentally prepared and didn't care at all about the strange looks around him.

During the Soul Master Competition, the Sun and Moon Team was protected by three level-nine Soul Masters. Therefore, Lin Qing asked the Ice Emperor, who had nothing to do, to secretly look after his grandmother. His reward was thirty skewers of roasted scorpions and one hundred skewers of silkworm pupae every day.

The old lady is getting on in years and doesn't usually like to join in the fun, but she will definitely be there to watch the final battle between Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and Shrek Academy. First, to witness her grandson's glorious moment of winning the championship, and second, to see Lin Qing personally extinguish Shrek's arrogance and get some revenge for Lin Lan.

"The competition venue is quite impressive."

As the Sun and Moon team stepped into Star Luo Square, the central arena came into view, and Keke whispered.

The Soul Master Tournament's arena is of paramount importance. The Star Luo Empire spared no expense in constructing a massive arena with a diameter of 100 meters. The ground is paved with a high-hardness alloy composed of various rare metals, making it reassuringly solid.

One hundred and eight metal pillars were set up around the perimeter; these were actual defensive soul tools, and one hundred and eight soul masters were in charge of overseeing them.

After the Soul Master infuses Soul Power, the 108 metal pillars will form a protective shield to prevent the Soul Master's skills from overflowing and thus avoid damaging the Imperial City or injuring innocent spectators.

As the sun rose high in the sky, the Soul Master Academy and hundreds of thousands of spectators entered the arena. Emperor Xu Jiawei of the Star Luo Empire, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, arrived at the viewing platform with his empress and civil and military officials. He looked down on the people of Star Luo with majesty and delivered a pre-match speech: "The All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament is the largest event in the Douluo Continent. It is hosted by the four great empires in turn, and the Star Luo Empire only holds one tournament every twenty years."

On behalf of the Star Luo Empire, I welcome the 133 academy teams that have traveled from afar. I hope you will showcase your talents in the month-long Soul Master Competition, and I wish all the contestants extraordinary performances and a life without regrets!

I hereby declare the Soul Master Competition officially open!

"Long live! Long live! Long live!"

Xu Jiawei governed the country diligently, and the people of Xingluo highly respected this emperor. Their shouts and cheers resounded through the sky, deafeningly loud, and could be clearly heard even outside Xingluo Square.

The tournament referee team confirmed the draw results, and the head referee announced via a megaphone: "The first match of the elimination rounds will be between Shrek Academy, the continent's number one academy and champion of the millennium-long tournament, and Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy. Please bring your teams to the stage!"

"superior."

Ma Xiaotao lifted her dark green cloak, revealing her stunningly beautiful face, which was as fierce as fire, and took the lead as she stepped onto the competition stage.

He Caitou, Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, Xiao Xiao, Huo Yuhao, and Wang Dong, the six reserve team members, followed closely behind.

The seven were all the Shrek Academy students who could participate in the battle. Their instructors, Wang Yan, Dai Yueheng, and Ling Luochen, were cheering for their teammates in the preparation area.

Led by the fiery phoenix Ma Xiaotao, the seven stood firmly in the center wearing Shrek's classic dark green combat suits. The Tianling students opposite them trembled, gritted their teeth, and tried their best to overcome their fear.

Huo Yuhao and the other reserve team members remained calm and composed. Fortune and misfortune are intertwined. The Phoenix Evil Flame was in considerable trouble. At the same time, that madness kept Ma Xiaotao at her peak, allowing her to withstand the corpse explosion of the Grim Reaper. The Phoenix Soul Emperor had no problem defeating a small Heavenly Spirit Team.

"Shrek is so confident that they sent out one starter and six reserve players—"

"Yes, we are not afraid of Tianling hiding his true abilities at all."

Whispers arose from the surroundings. The youthful faces of the six players betrayed their true ages, and the spectators marveled at Shrek's skill and daring. Typically, teams practice in the second round, as the round-robin format allows for some leeway, while a defeat in the first round of elimination matches would mean a humiliating defeat and sending them home!

In the preparation area of ​​the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Ma Rulong scratched his head, puzzled, and said, "Who is this woman? I remember she wasn't on the Shrek Academy's reserve team in the last competition—"

"Strange, where did Beibei go?"

Lin Qing was equally puzzled. His memory seemed to be distorted. The two cloaked figures from Shrek Academy were a man and a woman. The woman was presumably Ling Luochen, and the man's figure was very different from Bei Bei's. He should be Bai Hu Dai Yueheng. The two were most likely recuperating from their injuries.

The current situation is that Ma Xiaotao is fine, but Beibei has disappeared.

Death messenger, is it you again?!

"Shrek has handsome guys!"

Meng Hongchen locked onto Wang Dong in a second.

The boy had short, light blue hair, red lips, and white teeth; he was quite a handsome young man.

"but!"

After a slight pause of 0.25 seconds, Meng Hongchen took a sudden turn, smiling as she approached Lin Qing. Her large, icy blue eyes blinked, and she said crisply, "I think you're prettier than him!"

Private Xiaomeng, loyal!

Shrek Academy was the subject of intense study by all the major teams. All the spectators were focused on watching the opening battle, and no one cared about the fate of Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy.

"Both sides are in position, the match begins!"

At the referee's command, the 108 metal pillars suddenly burst into light, shooting out beams of pure white light that drew arcs and converged in mid-air, while an eggshell-like protective shield covered the competition stage.

"Hey!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a loud phoenix cry echoed throughout the arena, and phoenix flames splashed out. Ma Xiaotao activated her third soul skill, Phoenix Wings Soaring into the Sky. Flaming wings burst out from her back, and a circle of blazing red flames suddenly spread out. With the help of her wings, she soared into the sky.

"Shared mental detection capabilities."

Shrek Academy's tactics are simple and brutal: everyone else plays a supporting role, Huo Yuhao assists Ma Xiaotao, and the Evil Fire Phoenix crushes the entire field. This way, they can preserve the reputation of the continent's number one academy!

Two yellow, two purple, and two black—Ma Xiaotao's six spirit rings almost blinded the Tianling team. They were the underlings of the two Soul Masters of the Five Soul Sect, and even getting through the first round depended on luck. A strong sense of fear lingered in their hearts. How could they possibly be a match for the Phoenix Soul Emperor!

With the shared mental detection providing a perfect view, Ma Xiaotao took in the stagnant soul power fluctuations of the Tianling team. She sneered and the Evil Fire Phoenix took flight, then plunged down without hesitation.

The second and sixth soul rings shone brightly, and the Phoenix Reborn in Flames and Phoenix Wings Soaring in the Sky provided a double boost. Ma Xiaotao's whole body was engulfed in high-temperature flames, like a living fire phoenix. A phoenix meteor shower followed, and half of the arena was illuminated by the Evil Fire Phoenix in a brilliant fiery red!

"boom-

'

The evil fire spread like wildfire, the protective shield formed by 108 soul masters trembled violently, a dazzling crimson halo erupted, the temperature of the arena soared sharply, and large areas of charred marks appeared on the metal ground.

Thick smoke billowed as Tianling students lay on the charred metal ground, each bearing extensive burns.

Her pink pupils turned a dark red, burning with malevolent rage. Ma Xiaotao looked up to the sky and roared, venting her suppressed emotions with a chilling aura.

As the captain of Shrek Academy, Ma Xiaotao is under immense pressure due to the heavy casualties among her teammates.

She is a direct descendant of Shrek Academy, inheriting the bloodline of the original Seven Devils. Her teacher is Ming Feng Douluo, the dean of the Martial Soul Department, and her grandmaster is Dragon God Douluo, the master of the Sea God Pavilion. She received the most orthodox education from Shrek Academy since childhood.

Life is precious, but when it comes to eternal glory, life is as insignificant as duckweed on water. In this battle, she will proclaim to the world that Shrek Academy is still the number one on the continent!

"This woman is destined for our Holy Church!"

The men in black were visibly excited amidst the bustling crowds at Xingluo Square.

"With the return of the Holy Maiden, the Holy Church shall flourish!"

"Shrek Academy wins the first match of the elimination rounds." The referee announced the result. "The second match will be between Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and Lingluo Advanced Soul Master Academy!"

Lingluo Advanced Soul Master Academy, from the Douling Empire.

Facing the number two seed, the Lingluo team was not as nervous and helpless as the Tianling team. The seven of them were full of fighting spirit. The Sun Moon Empire was the nemesis of the Douluo Three Kingdoms, and they longed to challenge the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy!

"Qing, Shrek Academy only has one Fire Phoenix making a move. We can't let ourselves lose face; we have to put on a strong show!"

During his entrance, Xiao Hongchen lowered his voice. His first stage performance was just for show, and being overshadowed by Shrek would be worse than killing Xiao Ge!

"Pretend?" Lin Qing pondered for a moment.

"Then—leave it to me."

On the other side, Huo Yuhao, who had returned to Shrek Academy's training area, saw the Sun and Moon Team. The familiar figures made him subconsciously widen his eyes.

"Lin Qing?"

Huo Yuhao's academic life at Shrek Academy was so exciting that he almost forgot about this passerby he had only known for less than a day.

In the few times he recalled it, he was mostly moved by the scene and felt a deep sense of regret, because his second spirit could not be fused with the ultimate ice of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion. According to Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, Lin Qing was the ultimate spirit master with unique talent in this generation, and his talent was limitless.

"However, the ultimate martial soul has actually joined the Sun Moon Empire—" Huo Yuhao frowned.

Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is a united rival of the three kingdoms' soul master academies, second only to Shrek Academy in terms of popularity.

Countless eyes were focused on the competition stage, and they were surprised to find that the top two teams seemed to have made a private agreement to send out younger students. Even the oldest member of the Sun and Moon team, Orange, was clearly not yet twenty years old.

"The match begins!"

The referee blew the starting horn, Lin Qing stepped forward, raised his right hand high, and in an instant, the battlefield changed dramatically, with a steel mechanical domain covering the entire field.

Cold, sharp, hard, heavy.

Within the domain, the various characteristics of the metal element erupted unrestrainedly. Five spirit rings, yellow, purple, black, and beyond the limit, rose up and swirled around Lin Qingyou.

The captain of the Lingluo team, a Soul King, was ashen-faced. His martial soul was called Vajra Tiger, a metal-attribute tiger-type beast martial soul.

In the past, at Lingluo Academy, King Kong Tiger was always like a tiger descending the mountain, invincible throughout the academy. This time, participating in the Soul Master Competition, Lingluo Academy has formed a team of one Soul King and six Soul Masters, determined to break through the shackles and reach the limit!

Fate dealt Ling Luo a heavy blow, drawing the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy in the first round of the lottery.

However, Captain Vajra Tiger didn't take it seriously. He even patted his chest and joked with a smile, "The Sun and Moon Seven and the Spirit Luo Seven are also here. Why aren't they afraid of us?"

At this moment, Captain Vajra Tiger really wanted to slap himself for his boastful words and question the Sun Moon Admissions Office. They had said that the Sun Moon Empire's martial souls were trash, so why did a cotton ball suddenly pop out of the gutter? What level of gold element was this that was making Vajra Tiger unable to breathe?

If he were a seventh-ring Soul Saint, Vajra Tiger could still try to use his level 20 Soul Power advantage to fight against the mechanical element.

Unfortunately, Captain Lingluo's cultivation level was three levels lower than Lin Qing's. Faced with the ultimate gold suppressed by the caste, he lost all fighting spirit. The other team members panicked upon seeing this and hastily formed a defensive formation to resist the omnipresent mechanical elements!

"One cut."

As a soft murmur fell, the steel mechanical domain instantly resounded with the clanging of metal. It was as if a silver star was hidden in Lin Qing's chest, its light shining through his clothes and illuminating the entire scene.

The first soul core of the Ultimate Gold rotated at high speed, and the soul power compressed to the extreme surged along the meridians like lava, injecting into the mechanical elements flying all over the sky.

The arena was filled with the surging energy of the competition. Mechanical elements coalesced into countless silver blades, long and sharp, which surged across the sky like a torrent. The silver river tore through the clouds above Xingluo Square, revealing a clear blue sky.

Layer upon layer of silvery-white blades formed a massive, earth-shattering blade, while sunlight poured down from the gaps in the clouds, refracting hundreds of dazzling, ever-flowing rays of light.

Soul Skill Advancement: One Slash, Two Cuts!

Elemental Soul Masters are extremely adept at large-scale destruction, and mechanical elementalists are no exception. The earth-shattering sharpness of a single slash covered the arena, and the air was compressed into rings of air waves. The airflow passing by the sides of the giant blade whistled sharply.

Feeling the overwhelming, all-encompassing gold, the Vajra Tiger bristled and lost all courage to even breathe. Captain Lingluo's legs went weak and he collapsed. His Soul Sect teammates tried their best to unleash their Soul Skills, but their insignificant attacks could only produce a few sparks on the giant blade!

"boom-

'

Like a natural disaster, the metal ground of the Soul Master Competition was cut in two, just like the Zero Test Zone. The earth was in ruins, split in two by mechanical elements, with rubble and dust flying high and scattering everywhere.

The giant blade did not actually attack the Lingluo team. The seven members were stunned by the residual force of the ground being cleaved open. Lin Qing stood proudly in place, surrounded by terrified and shocked gazes from all directions, with hissing sounds of people gasping for breath.

"Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy wins!"

The referee snapped out of his daze and loudly announced the result.

Both of the top seeds are quite the show-offs, each opting to one-shot their opponent in their first knockout match!

In comparison, the scene brought by Lin Qing was obviously more shocking. Compared to Ma Xiaotao, who was nearly 20 years old, he looked younger. The Lingluo team was stronger than the Tianling team. Even without the mental detection sharing assistance, the magnificent momentum of Yishua Liangjue was stronger than that of Phoenix Meteor Shower!

Moreover, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is known for producing many Soul Masters, but Lin Qing uses his self-created Soul Skills, shocking everyone with his traditional Soul Master combat style.

This approach is tantamount to telling the world that the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy has completed its transformation and now possesses monster Soul Masters who can dominate the region, no longer confined to training Soul Masters!

With an easy 1v7 victory, Lin Qing turned and looked towards Shrek Academy.

The fiery phoenix could not tolerate such provocation. Ma Xiaotao suddenly stood up and stared fiercely into those silver-gray eyes.

Their eyes met, neither giving an inch. Her full breasts heaved with her rapid breathing. Ma Xiaotao's mind was spiraling toward madness and despair, her dark red eyes turning a terrifying scarlet!

The next second, Lin Qing slowly raised his hand, and pointed out with a slender index finger. His domineering aura seemed to penetrate the soul guide shield and rush towards Shrek Academy!

Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger!

At this moment, silence speaks louder than words. The Shrek Academy team members were shocked. Lin Qing had just swept through Lingluo Academy by defeating seven opponents single-handedly. The spirited young man had a cold look in his eyes. His steel mechanical domain roared and crisscrossed, and the elemental world was like a backdrop that stretched to the heavens and the earth. It was very intimidating at first glance!

"I'll roast him until he's charcoal!"

Ma Xiaotao was on the verge of a mental breakdown and was about to rush onto the competition stage to fight Lin Qing to the death!

"Sister Tao, calm down, calm down!"

Huo Yuhao desperately unleashed his icy breath, leaving him speechless with despair. Qingtao engaged in a battle of magic from afar, and the innocent victim was none other than him!

In the preparation area for the participating teams, the teachers and students of the academy exchanged ideas upon seeing the domineering Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger.

"Gold is such a terrifying element, it's absolutely horrifying!"

"To be honest, do you guys feel anything?"

"The world is truly different this year!"
