Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 231 Miss Meng Cries from Anger

The person she liked had prepared a treasure to counter her opponent, and Meng Hongchen felt wronged and wanted to cry. She thought that Ji Lin had specially prepared something to counter Wang Qiu'er's cold poison before the competition.

Meng Hongchen bit her lower lip hard with her teeth, tears welling in her eyes, and rose into the sky with a cold face.

Wang Qiu'er was stunned; she hadn't expected that Meng Hongchen would actually cry because of her words.

Although everyone in Douluo Continent matures early, Meng Hongchen is, to put it bluntly, just a teenage girl in the throes of first love! It's normal for her to feel wronged when her crush and her rival target her together.

Seeing his sister with tears in her eyes, Xiao Hongchen's face darkened. He clenched his fists tightly, stared at Ji Lin in the distance, and gritted his teeth, saying, "Damn Ji Lin, how dare you bully my sister like this! I'll never forgive you!"

Feeling Xiao Hongchen's gaze, seeing his murderous look, and then looking at Meng Hongchen on the stage with tears in her eyes, Ji Lin felt incredibly overwhelmed. He was wronged! He really didn't mean to target Meng Hongchen; it was all a coincidence. Who knew that the Golden Earth Dragon Holy Mark's effect was abnormal status resistance! And who knew that it was Meng Hongchen who ended up facing Wang Qiu'er? He really didn't mean to make the girl cry, and he never expected that the usually proud and aloof Wang Qiu'er would make sarcastic remarks.

And it hit the bullseye, striking Meng Hongchen's weak spot.

High in the sky, Meng Hongchen's soul power surged like boiling water. Then, she seemed to have grown several years older, becoming taller and more mature. She raised her hands to support the sky, and the sixth soul ring around her lit up, unleashing her hidden sixth soul skill.

A pure white, jade-like, Crimson-Eyed Ice Toad perched on her shoulder, layers of icy blue light continuously rising, and a terrifying aura surged.

Zhu Qingbing Toad's sixth soul skill, Corrosive Ice, condenses the original poison into liquid and combines it with her own soul power. It not only has an extremely strong impact, but its toxicity is also close to the extreme of poison.

This is Meng Hongchen's strongest killing move. The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy has conducted a simple test and found that just a small drop of corrosive ice is enough to easily poison and kill a massive, ten-thousand-year-old diamond mammoth.

If it were a human being, even an eight-ring Soul Douluo would not be able to withstand being hit head-on by all the corrosive ice without any defense, let alone a five-ring or six-ring Soul King or Soul Emperor, who would be instantly corroded clean.

Even more terrifying is that the corrosive ice itself has a locking ability. Once it locks onto a target, it will relentlessly pursue the opponent like a leech, making it impossible to dodge unless there is a direct confrontation. The lock-on tracking time can last up to a minute. Dozens of waves of icy blue liquid, containing the deadly poison of the Zhu Qing Ice Toad, rushed straight towards Wang Qiu'er.

Meng Hongchen was extremely aggrieved, so this attack was naturally a full-force outburst. Her face was pale, and the corrosive ice was destined to consume a lot of her soul power. She was sure that with the power of the corrosive ice, even Wang Qiu'er's treasure that was immune to her cold poison could not resist it.

"roar!!!"

A deep roar suddenly resounded, echoing throughout the inner courtyard's fighting arena. On Wang Qiu'er's left arm, a black pattern emitted a dark light, and a huge golden earth dragon lay prostrate in the fighting arena, shielding Wang Qiu'er beneath it.

Stigmata Skill: Earth Dragon Guardian.

Summon the energy body of the Golden Earth Dragon to protect the host in all directions.

The Golden Earth Dragon's energy body is like Susanoo in the Legend of the Eye, possessing extremely powerful defensive capabilities. Even ordinary Soul Saints cannot break through the Golden Earth Dragon's defenses.

The corrosive ice venom landed on the golden earth dragon, sizzling and corroding black marks, leaving black pits on its body.

Unwilling to give up, Meng Hongchen squeezed out more of her soul power and unleashed her sixth soul skill, Corrosive Ice, once again.

This time, the corrosive ice finally broke through the golden earth dragon's body, revealing Wang Qiu'er inside. However, Meng Hongchen, whose soul power was exhausted, was powerless to launch an attack. His body went limp and he fell from the sky.

Just as she was about to fall to the ground, Wang Qiu'er appeared below her and caught her.

Meng Hongchen was slightly taken aback and asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"

Wang Qiu'er curled her lips and said coldly, "Consider it compensation for making you cry. Also, he doesn't know the effects of that treasure, nor was it prepared for this battle."

After saying that, she turned and left the arena. She didn't know why she had to explain to Meng Hongchen. She had indeed deliberately provoked Meng Hongchen, but she didn't expect that Meng Hongchen would be made to cry, making her seem like the bad guy, and also involving Ji Lin. She didn't want anyone to misunderstand Ji Lin.

Meng Hongchen was stunned. She hadn't expected Wang Qiu'er to explain for her. But when she thought about how she had misunderstood, how Ji Lin hadn't deliberately targeted her, and how she had just been overthinking things and even cried in front of so many people, she felt so ashamed that she wanted to bury her head in the ground. She covered her red cheeks, not daring to look in Ji Lin's direction, and ran back to the exchange student group of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy as if fleeing, falling into a state of self-isolation.

Ignoring Meng Hongchen's death, Yan Shaozhe announced the winner at the right time: "Wang Qiu'er wins the first assessment for exchange students."

Shrek Academy's inner courtyard erupted in cheers, while the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy fell silent.

However, their defeat was just the beginning.

What followed was their nightmare.

"Bebe wins!"

"Xu Sanshi wins!"

"Jiang Nannan wins!"

"Chu Qingtian wins!"

"Ling Luochen wins!"

……

Nine consecutive losses!

After a nine-game losing streak, Yan Shaozhe achieved his goal. The exchange students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy were severely defeated, all of them looking dejected, pale, and questioning their existence.

"The tenth round of the exchange student assessment competition: Ji Lin versus Xiao Hongchen. Please welcome both contestants to the stage!"

Xiao Hongchen slowly stood up, his face grave. He had already realized that Shrek Academy was trying to give them, the exchange students, a hard time!

Looking at his listless, dejected companions, he said in a heavy tone, "We admit we're not as skilled, but the dignity of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy cannot be trampled on! Let me take back what you've lost."

The afternoon sun, like golden silk, gently sprinkled the ground, creating dappled light and shadow. Ji Lin and Xiao Hongchen stood facing each other, the sunlight shining on them and draping them in a golden glow.

"I've been looking forward to this battle for two years."

Xiao Hongchen stared at Ji Lin, his voice steady and powerful, "Two years ago, I was ambitious and didn't know what an opponent was until I met you. You shattered my ambitions and pride, and plunged me into the hell of defeat. You also made me understand that there are always people better than you, and that there is always something beyond your understanding. You made me rediscover myself."
