Douluo: The Peerless Sun and Moon Mechanical God

Chapter 93 Shrek's internal conflict, Sun and Moon VS Theo, the bare Heaven-Shaking Axe (4K)

"Thank goodness, I was almost late!"

Xiao Hongchen plopped down on the soft sofa, picked up the freshly squeezed juice on the table, and gulped it down in one go, making a satisfying "sssss" sound.

"Shrek has just started fighting, why are you in such a hurry?" Meng Hongchen never missed an opportunity to talk back to her brother.

The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy was the second battle, following closely after the match between Shrek Academy and the Fighting Spirit Royal Academy. Including the time for venue repairs, there was plenty of time.

"Know yourself and know your enemy and you will never be defeated. The Royal Academy of Fighting Spirits may be hiding their strength in the round-robin stage, but they might suddenly unleash their full potential in the knockout stage and expose Shrek Academy's true colors."

Xiao Hongchen earnestly taught his younger sister the great principles of caution and humility, then immediately changed the subject: "Of course, no matter what trump cards Shrek Academy is hiding, it is definitely no match for the combined forces of the two golds!"

"Qing is invincible among his peers, Xiao is invincible among his age, and Qing and Xiao combined are invincible under heaven!"

"You good-for-nothing idiot brother, you're just trying to get your hands on the ultimate gold."

Xiao Meng showed no respect for Xiao Ge at all. Everyone knows the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. The Three-Legged Golden Toad versus the Mechanical Elementalist always ended up getting a severe beating from the top. Grandma Lin and Lin Qing are invincible when they team up!

Too lazy to pay attention to the guy trying to force a pairing, Meng Hongchen looked up at the sky above the competition stage. A pink and blue figure with blue and gold butterfly wings on its back was soaring in the sky as the Goddess of Light butterfly, trailing a rainbow-like tail flame.

With one yellow and two purple spirit rings swirling around his body, the combination of his superior level was particularly eye-catching. His second purple spirit ring shone brightly as the handsome young man continuously fired out the light of the Butterfly God, using his air superiority to attack the fighting spirit students.

"The Goddess of Light Butterfly, I remember this martial soul seems to be—"

Miss Meng vividly remembers the original questions from the Red Dust Class's comprehensive exam!

"Wang Dong is the worst kind of girl—disguising herself as a man to deceive naive young girls just beginning to experience love!" Meng Hongchen clenched her fist, speaking out for those who are obsessed with good looks.

"Fortunately, I am very clever and have long had someone I like."

Her delicate body moved toward Lin Qing, until she felt the intense heat of their skin touching. Xiao Meng purred like a happy little white kitten. After their lovemaking, the next step was to prepare for pregnancy!

At this moment, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy has a clear division of labor: Meng Hongchen is enjoying a sweet romance, Ye Guyi is secretly turning evil, and Shu Juzi is watching the battle most attentively.

The White Tiger lineage has been passed down for ten thousand years, and its soul skills are no longer a secret. However, each soul master has their own unique characteristics. Ju Zi carefully observes Dai Yueheng, analyzes the White Tiger Soul Emperor's fighting habits, and formulates a targeted attack plan. The son pays back the debts of his father and recoups some of the interest.

"Qing, why aren't you saying anything?"

Laughing at the world like a turtle stretching its neck out, he cares for his brother-in-law and brother-in-law who has been through thick and thin with him for a lifetime.

The Spiritual Image Soul Guidance Device constantly records the unhealthy practices outside the arena. Lin Qing gazes at the Shrek Academy's preparation area, the light in his silver-gray eyes obscuring his vision.

Scratching his temple in confusion, Xiao Hongchen looked in the direction of the object and saw a disheveled old man, his anger blazing, smashing his wine gourd heavily onto the coffee table.

The stunningly beautiful woman with black hair and black eyes seemed to say something, then turned and left Xingluo Square. The old man was so angry that he ate eight chicken legs in a row. Wang Yan and Xiao Xiao were silent and dared not interfere in the two's heated argument.

"Who is that girl? Is she reinforcements sent by Shrek Academy?" Brother Xiao was a little confused.

"No, she is Zhang Lexuan, the senior disciple of Shrek Academy's inner court," Lin Qing said quietly.

"Then she must be too old."

Xiao Hongchen stroked his chin, pretending to think, while Zhang Lexuan, just before stepping out of Xingluo Square, suddenly turned around and gazed at the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, her gaze landing on Lin Qing, who was surrounded by the Sun and Moon. Her dark eyes, as cold as a still lake, rippled with emotion.

"The way she's looking at you is weird. Have you two known each other before?" Meng Hongchen suddenly asked.

A brief encounter.

"Elder Xuan, please calm down. Lin Qing is Lin Lan's younger brother after all. Le Xuan feels guilty, so it's understandable that she loses control of her emotions."

In the Shrek Academy's preparation area, Wang Yan hurriedly stroked the fur of the bloodshot-eyed Elder Xuan, fearing that the two-hundred-year-old Taotie Douluo would explode with anger.

"Eight inner court disciples died and four were seriously injured. Am I not ashamed?" Elder Xuan was panting heavily. "I have been in self-isolation in the Sea God Pavilion, intending to relinquish all my duties and become a recluse who does not concern himself with worldly affairs."

Finally, he felt sorry for her and for Shrek Academy. Fang Qiang endured the guilt and carried on with the burden!

Old Mu took her in, and Shrek Academy spent over ten years trying to raise her, only to produce such an ungrateful child!

Knowing he couldn't afford to offend the big shot, Wang Yan opened his mouth, gave a helpless, bitter smile, and heard Zhang Lexuan's rather sharp words.

"Shrek's glory should not be a shackle, nor a reason to break the rules of the competition. Therefore, Elder Mu has decided to entrust this competition to three regular players and the reserve team. Everyone should do their best. Taking off the shackles of the championship will actually make things easier for the students in the future."

The paranoia of certain high-ranking officials has tarnished the glory of the millennia-old nation. They watched as a twelve-year-old child took drugs to break through his cultivation level, affecting his future, and allowed the reserve team to go astray without timely communication and guidance.

Since you mentioned Lin Qing—that's exactly what I wanted to say. I will not shirk responsibility for the consequences of my past mistakes, nor will I blame anyone.

Even if time could be reversed, I would not regret letting Lin Qing leave Shrek City. Whether he is the Ultimate Gold or Blue Silver Grass is not important.

Elder Xuan, my mistake was that I wasn't strong enough to protect my juniors from the Blood Moon Crimson Flood Dragon's attack. (Senior, stepping on...)

The remains of my descendants yielded a 100,000-year-old soul ring and soul bone. Beneath the bright path of a Soul Master lay their severed limbs, a nightmare that haunts me for the rest of my life.

Elder Xuan, what about you? Tragedy has repeated itself: Yao Haoxuan is dead, Chen Zifeng is crippled, Bei Bei is disfigured, and Xi Xi and Gongyang Mo are seriously injured. The one responsible for this tragedy is merely an evil spirit king. Has our grief left not even the slightest mark on your heart?

Zhang Lexuan's stabbing was steady and precise, mercilessly revealing the bloody truth and tearing out the defeat that Taotie Douluo least wanted to face from the bottom of his heart.

Elder Xuan's face flushed instantly, like a bull seeing a red cloth. If it were any other Shrek junior, he would have already slapped him across the face.

Offstage, the competition was fierce, while onstage, the atmosphere was heated. The shared mental detection gave the teammates a divine boost. Led by the three main members of the Seven Devils, Shrek Academy easily defeated Douling, securing victory in the first day's team battle. The seven members walked off the competition field in high spirits.

Huo Yuhao wiped the sweat from his forehead and gave Wang Dong a high five in celebration.

The transition from Great Soul Master to Soul Venerable is a qualitative leap. Mental power can more easily break through the defensive shield of the competition, and the duration of shared mental detection becomes longer.

Zhang Lexuan brought a ten-thousand-year-old spiritual beast, the Purple Spirit Wolf. Huo Yuhao absorbed a small portion of it, while most of its power was sealed by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, and it slowly returned as his soul power and physique improved.

In this year's Soul Master Competition, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is stronger than ever before. Even with all nine members of Shrek Academy at their peak, their chances of winning are still less than 50%.

The key to victory lies in the special effect of the Golden Road sealing the martial souls. The ideal scene is for the seven members of Sun and Moon to stand in a straight line, just like the scene during the Shrek Academy reserve team's chaotic battle, with the entire team being hit by the Golden Road.

"The second team battle in the Round of 16: Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy versus Imperial Academy. Please welcome both teams to the stage!"

Thanks to the tireless efforts of the repairman, the dilapidated metal arena was transformed, and the referee announced that the match would continue.

Sun and Moon Team Two stood up, and everyone bumped fists with Sun and Moon Team One.

In the round of 16, the Imperial Academy will be the main battleground. According to internal discussions within the Sun and Moon team, Team Two will be responsible for team battles, while Team One will handle individual battles.

The two teams will switch roles in the quarterfinals, and the same applies to the semifinals. The final match against Shrek Academy will be discussed later.

On the side of Imperial Academy, Soul Emperor Jiang Peng led his team onto the stage. Upon seeing that their opponent was the Sun and Moon Second Team, his expression darkened.

To be honest, Di'ao would rather fight to the death with the Sun and Moon Team led by Soul Emperor Ma Rulong than confront the ultimate martial soul head-on.

Captain Ye Wuqing of Zhengtian, whose cultivation level was as high as level 58, was stunned and stood there dumbfounded by the level 6 giant spear Dragon Devour. Jiang Peng was extremely wary of the combination of mechanical elements and soul tools.

However, the knockout stage is not a round-robin tournament. The Imperial Academy is standing on the edge of a cliff with no way out. They must have the courage of Tang San, the Sea God, to face the two gods of the Spirit Empire and confront the dragon-like Ultimate Gold!

A hundred meters apart, the two teams spread out their formations. The Iron-Bone Ram Referee, with a dark face, raised his right hand, cursing his colleagues for being inhuman. Everyone had elected him to preside over the battle of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy!

"The match begins!"

Hundreds of thousands of eyes, both inside and outside the arena, were fixed on the Contra referee's descending hand; the battle was about to begin!

"The Heaven-Shaking Axe!"

Jiang Peng immediately released his martial spirit, and six rings of light, yellow, purple, and black, rose up, filling the battlefield with a fierce and domineering aura.

The Heaven-Shaking Axe is recognized as a top-tier offensive weapon spirit in the Soul Master world. Apart from the reclusive Clear Sky Sect, no weapon spirit in the Douluo Continent dares to claim that it is superior to the Heaven-Shaking Axe.

"The Ruyi Plate, where the light of offense and defense shines!"

The support-type Soul King of Di'ao Academy summoned his Martial Soul, and his third and fourth Millennium Soul Rings shone brightly. The Ruyi Disc shot out beams of white light that flowed into his teammates' bodies, increasing everyone's attack and defense.

"Kumquats bloom profusely from the southern branches!"

Orange moved her hands rhythmically, throwing out the enhanced Red Flame Orange and the spirited Little Green Orange. The Sun and Moon Teams swallowed Orange in unison and quickly changed their formation.

Xiao Hongchen, Ju Zi, and Ke Ke, three ranged Soul Masters, carried Soul Guidance Cannons on their shoulders. Ye Guyi occupied the air superiority, scattering starlight needles like a celestial maiden scattering flowers. Meng Hongchen and Nana flew side by side, their Soul Guidance Propulsion Devices spewing firelight. The dazzling silver light was far ahead of everyone else, rushing towards the Soul Emperor Jiang Peng of the Heaven-Shaking Axe!

The ground and sky were filled with a barrage of artillery fire. Xiao Hongchen used his Three-Legged Golden Toad bloodline talent to unleash a salvo from 128 Level 5 Soul Guidance Cannons. His power was equivalent to that of a Soul Guidance Legion. The terrifying firepower forced the Imperial Academy to make no progress!

Following the Starry Sky Douluo to learn the combat style of high-altitude soul masters, Ye Guyi gained a lot of insights. He formed a circle of Starry Divine Needles, the tips of which were silently aimed at the Ruyi Pan Soul King, who was hiding behind his teammates and trembling with fear.

"Starburst!"

With beams of starlight concentrated and fired, Di'ao was busy dealing with the attacks of the three ranged Soul Masters and the unpredictable long and short swords of the two melee Soul Masters. He simply couldn't spare any manpower to defend against the starlight needles falling from the sky.

The Imperial Academy did not equip the support class with life-saving soul tools such as invincible shields. Realizing that he could not escape his fate, the Ruyi Pan Soul King simply handed his fate over to the Soul Douluo referee and injected his remaining soul power into his ten-thousand-year fifth soul ring!

"The Ruyi Plate, its mysterious light shines forth!"

The next second, the eyes of the six War Soul Masters from Di'ao Academy turned into a violent crimson, and with the amplification of all their attributes, they exhaled two thick white streaks.

Berserk: Increases all attributes by 15%, loses the sense of pain, effect lasts for three minutes, and the user enters a weakened state after the skill ends!

The round-robin tournament between Di'ao Academy and Shrek Academy was drawn into a one-on-one mode, without showcasing their team battle capabilities. At this moment, the berserk Di'ao students, fearless of the hail of bullets, fought bloodily with bloodshot eyes, completely insane!

"Heaven-Shaking Slash!"

The elemental wave of ultimate gold rushed towards him. Jiang Peng showed all his respect and directly lit up his first, second, and fourth soul rings, which transformed into three earth-shattering axes that cleaved down, their shadows filling the sky and accompanied by the fierce roar of exploding soul-guided cannonballs!

"The mechanical elements condensed into giant silver hands, and the Heaven-Shaking Axe Shadow was unable to break through the absolute defense of the ultimate gold. It was crushed in mid-air by the mechanical elements."

Lin Qing, clad in elemental armor, charged forward relentlessly. Jiang Peng's expression changed drastically. He had thought that elemental soul masters were weak in close combat, but little did he know that Lin Qing had cultivated the Heart of Elements to the point of complete mastery. The ultimate gold was unlike any other element, and the armor's hardness was beyond question!

With the Heaven-Shaking Axe in front of his chest, Jiang Peng withstood Lin Qing's straightforward punch head-on. He flew backwards parallel to the ground, rolling seven or eight times before finally stopping the force of the impact.

The axe wailed repeatedly, and Captain Di'ao hurriedly looked at his beloved martial soul. This glance almost scared him out of his berserk state.

A fist-sized dent appeared on the surface of the Heaven-Shaking Axe, surrounded by dense cracks. The martial spirit itself was severely damaged. The hardness of top-tier offensive weapon martial spirits was usually reliable, but this time the Heaven-Shaking Axe's enemy was an ultimate martial spirit!

"A snake draws a bullet, and a swarm of snakes dances wildly."

With his arms extending out like snake heads, Lin Qing's voice fell, and countless bullets shot out. The snake-like bullets were incredibly lifelike, and the spirit snakes surrounded Jiang Peng, flicking their cold tongues. The six-ring Soul Emperor was completely surrounded by the snakes!

"boom!"

Black flames erupted, and the snake-like projectiles seemed endlessly coiling around him. Forced into a corner, Jiang Peng had no choice but to use his sixth soul skill to fight back.

Black light surged wildly, and the Heaven-Shaking Axe continued to grow larger. The enormous axe blade was like a black hole, swallowing all light. The audience watched Jiang Peng's decisive strike from afar, unsure whether to praise his never-give-up spirit or marvel at the power of the ultimate gold.

The sixth soul skill of the Heaven-Shaking Axe: Dark Demon Heaven-Shaking!

Before the Dark Demon Zhentian could display its power, a wild buzzing sound overwhelmed the darkness gathered by the Zhentian Axe. The finger-gun bee-devouring technique transformed into a swarm of bees, devouring the axe blade that the Dark Demon Zhentian had slashed down. The bees detonated themselves, bombarding the Zhentian Axe, which was at its last gasp.

The giant axe was riddled with holes, its trembling body teetering on the verge of breaking. Finally, with a deafening explosion, the blade shattered into black fragments that fell to the ground!

Jiang Peng gripped the bare axe handle, surveyed the swarm of bees and snakes ready to devour anyone, took a deep breath, and shouted out two words in a clear and resonant voice!

"referee!"

The captain's crushing defeat hastened the collapse of Imperial Academy. Meng Hongchen sheathed her Extreme Ice Twin Swords, put her hands on her slender waist, and walked past her poisoned and unconscious opponent, saying smugly, "Little brat, you thought you could avoid poison in Berserk mode?"

The outcome was predictable: the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy emerged victorious, and the group withdrew from Star Luo Square, leaving behind a host of teams sighing and lamenting.

Shrek Academy remained in the rest area; the third match was against Star Luo National Academy. Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy had every right to be arrogant, so Shrek needed to proceed with caution and prudence.

As they walked out of Xingluo Square, the Sun and Moon group chattered excitedly about the important lunch, when a serene figure suddenly appeared, blocking their path.

Looking at the spirited young man who had gone to a foreign land, Zhang Lexuan said softly, "Xiaoqing, can we talk?"
