Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 167 The Spendthrift Rich Woman

No one present expected that Princess Jiujiu had prepared two absolute defensive soul tools, and that she would use the second one on Ji Lin without hesitation, instead of on Dai Yueheng, the second Soul Emperor of Shrek Academy.

Clearly, in her view, Ji Lin posed a greater threat than Dai Yueheng, the Soul Emperor.

Even Xiao Hongchen and the others were dumbfounded. Two level-seven soul tools worth a million gold soul coins were just thrown out like that.

Ji Lin's lips twitched. Although he had expected that Xu Jiujiu would prepare a soul tool to target him, he did not expect it to be an absolute defensive soul tool. This was a one-time consumable item, and once it was used, it was gone. Xu Jiujiu had thrown out two million gold soul coins in one go. That was too extravagant.

Ji Lin was heartbroken and faced a difficult situation. Strictly speaking, Xu Jiujiu's money was his, which meant he had lost two million gold soul coins.

It was just a match, yet it cost so much. He underestimated Xu Jiujiu's importance of winning and losing. Perhaps, for a rich woman, two million gold soul coins were nothing.

Just then, Xu Jiujiu's sweet smile froze on her face. Ji Lin's body emanated black light, and his figure vanished instantly, replaced by Xu Sanshi's figure. Golden light descended, and Xu Sanshi was enveloped in a golden light shield, sealed by the absolute defensive soul tool.

Xu Sanshi gave Xu Jiujiu a sly smile, then sat cross-legged inside the light barrier, lying down like a cozy person, completely unlike Ma Xiaotao who was frantically attacking the light barrier.

Ji Lin appeared beside Ling Luochen, and breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "Luckily, I greeted Senior Xu beforehand, otherwise we would have really been in trouble this time."

Ji Lin's figure transformed into a streak of fire, instantly rushing to Xu Jiujiu's side. The Soul Master who hadn't made a move yet finally stepped forward, his enormous wings suddenly spreading out like two doors, blocking Ji Lin's path.

Saint Wing, a defensive-type battle spirit king, whose martial spirit is a giant winged eagle.

Ji Lin frowned and slashed at the opponent with his sword, but it was blocked by those wings.

Just then, Dai Yueheng withstood the attack of the dual control of wind and fire and charged towards Xu Jiujiu.

Princess Jiujiu's eyes narrowed slightly, but just as Dai Yueheng was about to approach Jiujiu, four figures instantly blocked Dai Yueheng's path.

It was Huang Heyun, Feng Huo Shuang Kong, and Chen Xiaojie who suppressed Bei Bei. With Chen Xiaojie's speed, he could retreat at any time. Dugu Shangshan also wanted to defend and protect Princess Jiujiu, but was blocked by Wang Qiu'er's fourth soul skill, Golden Dragon Claw.

The four students from Xingluo Royal Academy stood in a row, forming a unified whole, with a faint white light emanating from behind them.

The light was disc-shaped, like the shell on a tortoise's back, and it shone through their school uniforms.

Standing at the back, the fire-controlling soul master Yi Chen placed her hands on the back of the wind-controlling soul master Wang Shiying, who in turn made the same gesture, connecting with Chen Xiaojie, whose palms were placed on Huang Heyun's back. At this moment, they appeared to be a completely unified entity.

Huang Heyun's body had grown almost a full size larger than before, and beneath the fur of his Dark Demon Tiger Martial Soul, veins were faintly visible. Facing Dai Yueheng's pounce, he thrust his fists forward fiercely, unleashing a powerful strike. A low tiger's roar instantly transformed into a howl, carrying an extremely intense dark aura as it collided with Dai Yueheng's charging body.

"Boom—" Dai Yueheng felt as if he had hit a metal plate. He was thrown into the air and spat out a mouthful of blood with a "whoosh".

Impossible! That was his first thought after being blasted away.

How could a Soul King possibly knock him away in an instant?

In the rest area for the Sun and Moon Royal Academy's Soul Masters, Xiao Hongchen chuckled, "It's actually a Nine-Transformation Soul Instrument! The Star Luo Royal Academy is truly well-prepared!"

The Nine-Transformation Soul Instrument can alter the attribute of soul power. Regardless of the type of soul power injected into it, the output is always the most peaceful chaotic attribute, which can be absorbed by any attribute. Through this instrument, soul masters can inject their soul power into each other for a short period. However, this soul power must be released within a short time. After all, soul power exceeding a soul master's tolerance will damage their meridians, and chaotic attribute soul power can only be used temporarily and cannot be fully integrated with one's own soul power.

It was equivalent to four Soul Kings plus a long Starry Night Technique to blast Dai Yueheng away.

However, Huang Heyun, who was in charge, also suffered a backlash, and his face turned red.

Huang Heyun roared, and a huge black tiger-like figure surged out from his body. It was the same Demon Tiger Shocking Heaven that he had used on Ma Xiaotao before.

But this time was different. Supported by terrifying soul power, the phantom of the dark demonic tiger was as real as a physical entity, and it arrived in front of Dai Yueheng in the blink of an eye.

Clearly, they want to eliminate Dai Yueheng completely.

Faced with Huang Heyun's attack, Dai Yueheng roared, and his first, third, fifth, and sixth spirit rings shone simultaneously.

With his Soul Emperor level cultivation, he instantly upgraded the three major amplification skills—White Tiger Protective Shield, White Tiger Vajra Transformation, and White Tiger Demon God Transformation—to their maximum potential.

At the same time, he used his sixth soul skill, White Tiger Annihilation Strike.

His outstretched tiger paws, with their foot-long golden claws gleaming with a chilling light, vanished in the next instant amidst a dazzling light that turned from white to gold.

A gigantic "kill" character appeared out of thin air, colliding head-on with the black tiger transformed from the Demon Tiger Jingtian. Sharp, piercing howls mingled with the roars of the two tigers locked in combat, creating a frenzied chaos.

Huang Heyun and the other three were indeed very strong because they connected their soul power together through the Nine Transformations Soul Instrument. In terms of soul power, they completely suppressed Dai Yueheng.

Seeing that the battle between Dai Yueheng and Huang Heyun was too intense for Bei Bei to intervene, he turned his attention to Dugu Shangshan. He transformed into lightning and rushed towards Dugu Shangshan, joining Wang Qiu'er in attacking him.

Just as Dugu Shangshan was about to make a move, a circle of blue light descended from above, instantly freezing his body. Wang Qiu'er and Bei Bei's attacks landed on him simultaneously. At that moment, a suction force came from the sky; it was Tian Sha Douluo who had made his move. He judged that Dugu Shangshan could not withstand the attacks from Wang Qiu'er and Bei Bei, since he was frozen by Ling Luochen and unable to resist. Taking their attacks head-on would likely kill him.

Having ensured Dugu Shangshan's safety, they also announced his departure.

Wang Qiu'er and Bei Bei turned around and pounced on Huang Heyun and his group of four without hesitation, because Dai Yueheng had already fallen into a disadvantageous position.

Meanwhile, on Ji Lin's side, the Heavenly Fire Judgment had already pierced through the metal wings of the Holy Wings. Amidst the ear-piercing scraping sound, the Heavenly Fire Judgment tore a long gash in the wings of the Holy Wings.

The flames surged, and the sharp sword energy slashed towards Saint Wing once more. Heavenly Fiend Douluo made another move, and Saint Wing's figure disappeared, clearly taken away by Heavenly Fiend Douluo.
