Douluo Continent: Son of the God King, Chaotic Time and Space

Sadness, an overwhelming sadness.

Especially since Jiang Nannan's actions in shielding Xu Sanshi from the Radiant Sun Cone led to the subsequent events. The greater his joy at blocking the Radiant Sun Cone, the greater his sorrow at this moment.

Jiang Nannan, who had been rescued, was speechless. She had only gone to save Xu Sanshi because he had been eliminated; she had no chance of fighting Ji Siyuan. After all, they had already fought dozens of times, and Jiang Nannan knew very well that she couldn't handle Ji Siyuan's extreme Yin Fire.

The reason is not important; what is important is that Xu Sanshi has awakened and he is determined to fight for Jiang Nannan to save him.

The light of temporary evolution shone, and the Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield temporarily evolved.

Yan Shaozhe was overjoyed: "There's an unexpected surprise!"

Xian Lin'er: "The Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield has evolved into the Xuanwu Shield! Now it can block Ji Siyuan's attacks." The Xuanwu Shield is a significant improvement over the Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield. In some ways, improving the quality of a martial soul is more effective than strengthening it.

Inspired by this newfound fighting spirit, Xu Sanshi stood before Ji Siyuan: "Siyuan, this is my strongest form. For Nannan's sake, I cannot lose! Third Soul Skill, Xuanwu Power! My soul skills and soul power have been greatly enhanced, and my defense has also been improved like never before. Siyuan, I will definitely stop you!"

These bold words left Yan Shaozhe and Xian Lin'er dumbfounded. Everything was fine until the last sentence, "I will definitely stop you," which ruined the whole thing.

"No, even with this improved martial soul quality, you don't even have the slightest desire to win?" Xian Lin'er frowned, asking Yan Shaozhe with a puzzled look. Yan Shaozhe couldn't explain, so he could only wave his hand, indicating he'd have to wait and see.

Although Ji Siyuan knew about the changes to the Xuanwu Shield, this was the first time he had witnessed them. He scratched his head and asked, "Um... should I activate the second stage, or call for Huo Yuhao's support as a sign of respect?"

"What do you mean by activating the second stage? Activating an enhanced version of a ten-thousand-year soul skill isn't considered the second stage, is it?" Ji Siyuan's words made Yan Shaozhe and Xian Lin'er on the stands even more confused. So it turns out he wasn't even going all out yet.

Xu Sanshi turned to look at Bei Bei. Bei Bei was already struggling against Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er, who weren't using their full strength, yet Huo Yuhao still had the leisure to pay attention to Ji Siyuan. Although this was something a control-type Soul Master should do, it also showed that Huo Yuhao still had energy to spare.

Even if Ji Siyuan really called for Huo Yuhao's support, he wouldn't give Bei Bei any chance to catch her breath.

"No, no, no, I think it's fair for us to fight two against one."

Yan Shaozhe covered his face, not wanting to look anymore.

"Alright then, I won't open my eye." Ji Siyuan's third eye remained tightly closed, and the dark flames on his body brightened: "Dual Monarch True Flame, Flame King!"

The Yin Fire wasn't very effective against Xu Sanshi; the continuous burning would deplete his soul power, forcing him to maintain the Xuanming Shield Formation. Defeating Xu Sanshi with Yin Fire would take some time. Yang Fire, however, was different; it could directly penetrate defenses.

"Watch out, Phoenix Dance in the Sun Cone!" Apart from the three red lotuses blooming simultaneously in the blazing lotus flower, Phoenix Dance in the Sun Cone is Ji Siyuan's most destructive soul skill, and it also has the advantage of being very powerful in breaking through defenses.

Yan Shaozhe focused all his attention on the Radiant Sun Cone, this was the first time he had seen Ji Siyuan's self-created soul skill: "What a powerful soul skill. I wonder if Xu Sanshi can block it."

"Black Tortoise Shield Formation!" Xu Sanshi raised the reinforced Black Tortoise Shield to defend, silently chanting, "I can do it, I can definitely block it!"

Wanting and being able are completely different things.

The Phoenix Dance Sun Cone struck the Black Tortoise Shield Formation in an instant.

"Blocked it?" Xu Sanshi's lips curled into a smile, but the black water wave defense was instantly pierced. His smile widened as he cried out, "Help!"

The wings of the Radiant Phoenix forcefully blocked the Phoenix Dance Sun Cone, leaving some burn marks on Yan Shaozhe's hands: "Ji Siyuan, you should come down too." Yan Shaozhe's expression was not good. This extreme test had failed halfway. It was up to him to see if he could find out Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er's potential in the remaining time.

Why?

"You're too strong," Yan Shaozhe said helplessly, then pulled him down. Clearly, Ji Siyuan still had energy left after that attack, far from his limit. Xu Sanshi, on the other hand, had been pushed to his limit.

"Damn it, Siyuan, I'm truly speechless. You're inhuman." Xu Sanshi was exhausted, deactivated his temporary evolution state, and then passed out.

Ji Siyuan: ...

I fainted right after I finished speaking, there was nothing left to talk about.

Because Ji Siyuan was banned due to his superior strength, the rest of the time was spent watching Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er perform, and having a two-on-two showdown with Bei Bei and He Caitou.

The four players on the field also came to their senses from the previous situation; it was too exaggerated.

The two sides spread out and prepared for battle again. However, this choice was not good news for Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er, because in terms of long-range output, He Caitou was the real artillery. Without Ji Siyuan, their long-range output capabilities were far inferior to He Caitou's.

The black gun barrels emitted a white light, and fierce artillery fire bombarded the field.

Wang Dong'er relied on her flying speed to dodge, while Huo Yuhao anticipated the attack in advance.

Beibei also found his advantage. As a Soul Master, his offense, defense, and soul power were stronger than those of a Soul Venerable: "He Caitou, I'll go and hold them off for you. After that, just increase your output and don't worry about me."

A lightning mark condensed on his right hand, which had transformed into a dragon claw, but this time he didn't unleash it; instead, he crushed it, and the lightning formed a protective layer on his already swollen right claw. This was a melee version of the Thunder Dragon Claw, and even Beibei himself had to take some damage from the lightning.

With a clear objective, they headed straight for Huo Yuhao. Bei Bei knew the power of Huo Yuhao's shared mental detection ability and how unpleasant the effects of control-type Soul Masters could be. If they could defeat Huo Yuhao first, Wang Dong'er would eventually be dealt with by the two of them.

Through shared mental detection, Huo Yuhao knew clearly that Bei Bei's target was him, and immediately created an ice wall to block him. They had fought each other many times, and not only did Bei Bei know their methods, but they also knew Bei Bei's strength. Even Xu Sanshi was unwilling to take a hit from Bei Bei's Thunder Dragon Claw in close combat; if they were to be struck by it, they would definitely be electrocuted.

The hastily constructed ice wall proved ineffective, being torn apart by Bei Bei's claw, but it did buy them some time. Before Bei Bei caught up with Huo Yuhao, He Caitou's attacks had difficulty targeting clearly, but Wang Dong'er was different; she had mental detection to anticipate the attack.

"Second Soul Skill, Butterfly God's Light."

"I also have remote attack capabilities!"

The target is clearly Beibei.

The plan failed, and He Caitou's attack couldn't be guaranteed to hit. Bei Bei knew she had to take a gamble: "Fourth Soul Skill, Thunder Dragon Head!" Lightning formed a giant dragon head, one meter wide, and slammed towards Huo Yuhao.

Thunder Dragon Head severely injured Huo Yuhao, or paralyzed him so that He Caitou could finish him off, and he himself would withstand the Butterfly God's Light. A level four Soul Master plus a half-crippled Soul Grandmaster should have been able to defeat a Soul Venerable.

"Soul Bone Skill, Spiritual Weakness."

"First Soul Skill: Ice Emperor's Protection!"
