Douluo Continent: What do you mean this is the Holy Spirit Cult?

Qi Li, a student of the Royal Soul Master Academy of the Sun Moon Empire, showed no mercy when betraying his fellow students.

Before Ma Rulong appeared, he had already defeated three students from the Sun Moon Empire Royal Soul Master Academy. Moreover, he had gained nine amplification-type soul skills by using his Shadow of the Thief Soul Bone, and all of these skills consumed the soul power of the Sun Moon Empire Royal Soul Master Academy students, rather than his own.

At this moment, his physical attributes were already comparable to those of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast. Now, with various forms of assistance, he has reached an even higher level, and the quality of his soul power is approaching the level of a Soul Saint. Under such circumstances, he dares to say that there should be no opponent in the entire continent's advanced soul master academy battle tournament who can defeat him.

However, when he saw Ma Rulong and the level-eight melee soul tool, the Sword of Judgment, in Ma Rulong's hand, his expression became serious.

There was no other reason; it was simply because, as Xuan Ziwen's student, he also knew the origin of the Sword of Judgment, since Jing Hongchen's mentor and Xuan Ziwen's teacher were the same person.

He knew the other party well; even if it was just a soul tool called the Sword of Judgment proposed as an experimental work, its power would be unimaginable to ordinary people.

Therefore, he has already begun preparing the dragon soul of the Earthfire Crimson Dragon.

In critical moments, as long as one can use methods to conceal the surrounding situation, one is willing to use even one's true abilities.

After the match began, Qi Li immediately launched a strong attack. The evil fire on his body was combined with the soul power of the Netherworld Lion. It seemed like a clone of the Netherworld Lion was going to attack, but in reality, it was a continuous attack of evil fire.

His goal was to prevent Ma Rulong from activating the Sword of Judgment.

However, he was repeatedly thwarted by Ma Rulong's determination.

A golden soul guide shield was continuously emanating from Ma Rulong's body. This golden soul guide shield did not consume Ma Rulong's soul power, but rather consumed the power of a special rare metal called the Invincible Crystal.

This soul-guided shield doesn't last long, only three seconds. However, during those three seconds, unless a Title Douluo-level expert intervenes, the soul-guided shield can continue to be maintained without incident.

Although Qi Li was powerful, he could not directly enhance his strength to the level of a Title Douluo. Therefore, he could only watch as the other party used the Sacrifice Chapter on his chest to transform his life force into powerful soul force and inject it into the Sword of Judgment.

After Ma Rulong completed the preparations for the Chapter of Sacrifice, even the hair on his head had turned completely white. However, without any hesitation, he directly activated the Sword of Judgment, injecting its dark attribute soul power directly into Qi Li's body.

The dark attribute did not weaken Qi Li at all; in fact, it could be said to have strengthened him. Although Qi Li's attributes did not include darkness, he possessed the superior dark attribute, evil. Under such circumstances, the dark attribute soul power could only provide Qi Li with additional enhancement.

However, the key point is not this powerful dark attribute power; the real issue lies in the light attribute power contained within the Sword of Judgment.

Darkness and light are like water and fire, two extremely powerful and incompatible superior attributes. Generally speaking, there is no absolute restraint between darkness and light. However, if darkness is stronger than light, or light is stronger than darkness, then a conflict and destructive power that is unimaginable to ordinary people will erupt.

While the dark attribute contained within the Sword of Judgment is not weak, it is definitely not as strong as the light attribute contained within it. Not to mention that anyone struck by the dark power of the Black Sword of Judgment would absolutely not be able to convert this dark energy into their own use in a short period of time and resist the subsequent judgment attacks.

After Ma Rulong had completed the infusion of dark attribute power, he aimed the Sword of Judgment at Qi Li and then shouted:

"Trial!"

An incredibly powerful surge of soul power was immediately evident throughout the arena, and this powerful surge of soul power also made the referee, Tian Sha Douluo, nervous.

If he didn't act now, Qi Li, representing the Star Luo Empire's Royal Soul Master Academy team, would likely be severely injured. This made him hesitate, unsure of what to do.

However, Qi Li was not as nervous as he had imagined.

As the Sword of Judgment emitted a pure white light and unleashed its powerful light attribute to slash at him, he had already retrieved the beast soul of the Netherworld Lion and replaced it with the dragon soul of the Earthfire Crimson Dragon.

He also activated the fire attribute and the bloodline of the true dragon within his body using his soul power. At the same time, the soul power within his body was operating in an unprecedented way. Under this operation, the evil attribute within his body was immediately contained within him. The original part of his martial soul did not manifest; instead, a pure and domineering fire attribute appeared.

When the sword of judgment slashed down, it still caused wounds on Qi Li's body, cut by the power of light. There was even a one-meter-long wound on his chest, which stretched from his right shoulder to his left rib. However, it did not kill Qi Li's body; it only exposed his bones.

Qi Li, whose martial soul was originally a bone dragon, did not have his bones broken or his martial soul's essence damaged; he only suffered severe superficial injuries.

Holy Spirit Cult's secret methods, kid!

The evil spirit masters of the Holy Spirit Cult are helpless when facing holy attributes, but they have all sorts of ways to counter light attributes.

As Zhongli Wu's disciple, Qi Li was naturally familiar with this secret method of the Holy Spirit Sect.

It's a pity that he hasn't mastered the countermeasures against the light attribute yet; otherwise, that attack wouldn't have been enough to tear his flesh apart and expose his bone.

Fortunately, his physical condition was strong enough, and after being cleansed by the resentment of the Soul-Devouring Blade, his physical condition improved even further.

Otherwise, the situation today would probably not be like this.

After the power of light dissipated, Qi Li replaced it with the power of the Netherworld Mad Master's Beast Soul.

This time, he did not launch a strong attack, but instead let the black shadows dissipate from his body.

As the black shadows faded from his body, their injuries gradually lessened until the last black shadow disappeared, leaving only a pinkish residue on his skin.

The Netherworld Lion's innate soul skill is Netherworld Shadow!
