Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 355 Miss Meng, who holds a grudge

The young man from the Dragon Slaying Sect possessed the Bronze Bull Martial Soul. Upon approaching Meng Hongchen, he immediately activated the Martial Soul and used his first Soul Skill, the Power of the Wild Bull.

Not only that, his eyes also turned blood red, and two beams of blood-red light shot out from his wide eyes, landing straight on Meng Hongchen.

Third Soul Skill: Bull's Gaze.

It instantly locks onto the opponent, automatically tracking them as they dodge, while also reducing their movement speed.

Compared to academies, sects do have a more thorough understanding of specific martial souls. After all, academies do not specialize in studying a particular martial soul, while sects possess their own direct martial souls. This is a capability passed down through bloodlines. Through years of inheritance, these sects have developed a thorough understanding of their own direct martial souls, which is something that academies cannot match.

Simply put, academies study the overall picture, while sects study the details. Through continuous experimentation, they can find the most suitable soul beast for their sect's direct lineage martial soul.

The appearance of the Holy Mark is great news for these sects. After all, some specific soul beasts are not easy to find, and the sects have a large demand for them, since more than one disciple needs that kind of soul beast. But the Holy Mark is different; it can completely meet the needs of the sects.

This young man from the Dragon Slayer Sect is a prime example. His fifth spirit ring is a ten-thousand-year-old Sacred Mark purchased from the Liyue Merchant Guild. Such spirit rings, suitable for their Dragon Slayer Sect, require specific spirit beasts to provide, and Sacred Marks can also do this. This is something their Dragon Slayer Sect has personally tested.

To get the Liyue Merchant Guild to customize a certain Soul Beast's Sacred Mark for their Dragon Slayer Sect, the sect spared no expense.

The moment the young man from the Dragon Slaying Sect entered the range of the icy blue aura beneath Meng Hongchen's feet, he suddenly felt a chill run through his body, his body stiffened, and both his speed and reaction time decreased significantly.

This is the ultimate talent that appeared after Meng Hongchen's martial soul evolved into the ultimate ice. It is the Frost Ring, a passive ability. Whenever Meng Hongchen releases her martial soul, the Frost Ring will appear under her feet and take effect.

An opponent who enters the Frost Ring will be enveloped in extreme cold, and their speed, reaction ability, and soul power circulation speed will all be greatly reduced.

This is almost equivalent to a super-small domain. The only drawback compared to a domain is its small size, but the advantage is that it consumes no resources. This is a passive skill, allowing Meng Hongchen to weaken opponents without consuming extra soul power.

At this moment, the young man from the Dragon Slaying Sect was already very close to Meng Hongchen. There was no time for him to think, and he crashed into Meng Hongchen.

Meng Hongchen smiled slightly, stretched out her left hand, and blew a breath at the young dragon slayer. Like a snow maiden, a white icy mist was exhaled from Meng Hongchen's mouth, instantly enveloping the young dragon slayer's entire body.

Another intense chill spread throughout his body, and a look of horror flashed in the eyes of the young man from the Dragon Slaying Sect. Without hesitation, he activated his fifth soul ring, which lit up.

But it was too late. Meng Hongchen was a Soul Saint, and with the effect of the Frost Ring, the young man from the Dragon Slaying Sect released his soul skills much slower than before. Before his fifth soul ring could be fully lit, he turned into an ice sculpture and stood there.

This is Meng Hongchen's first soul skill after his martial soul evolved. It is Frosty Breath, which can exhale a cloud of ice mist that can instantly freeze the target under the extreme low temperature of ice.

The other members of the Dragon Slayer Sect in the waiting area all stood up abruptly, not expecting the battle to end so quickly.

Their teammates activated their martial spirits and unleashed their soul skills. He rushed forward, approached his opponent, and pounced!

The pounce was so fast it left everyone speechless.

The light from the spirit ring faded, and Meng Hongchen raised her chin arrogantly, saying to the referee, "I won, next one."

Meng Hongchen stood calmly in place, looking out over the contestants' rest area from the stage. Even during the competition, she did not forget to look for Ji Lin.

It wasn't until she saw Ji Lin waving at her from a corner of the players' rest area that a surprised smile appeared on her face.

Xiao Hongchen, from the waiting area of ​​the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, slapped herself in the face, speechless. This was during a competition! My dear sister! Don't you know that hundreds of thousands, even millions, of people are watching you?

The referee quickly approached the young man from the Dragon Slaying Sect, confirmed that he could not break through the ice, and nodded to Meng Hongchen.

"You win, but hurry up and thaw him out to avoid endangering his life," the referee said.

Meng Hongchen curled her lip and said, "Referee, have you forgotten? There are still team matches to come."

According to the competition rules, team members cannot be substituted after the individual elimination rounds.

Moreover, she hadn't forgotten the Dragon Slayer Sect youth's initial rudeness; this was the consequence of offending Miss Meng.

Although she is not petty, she still holds grudges.

The referee frowned. "With your icy low temperature, he'll freeze to death in time."

Meng Hongchen shouted towards the Dragon Slayer Sect's waiting area, "Make sure he doesn't participate in any potential team battles later, and I'll unfreeze him."

The Dragon Slayer Sect members exchanged bewildered glances. Their eyes finally settled on one person in particular: a tall, robust young man, their team captain.

"Unfreeze him. He won't participate in the team competition later." The captain made the decision immediately without any hesitation. Of course, this was also because there were no fire or ice attribute soul masters among the seven of them.

What he didn't know was that Meng Hongchen was the ultimate ice, and ordinary fire and ice attribute soul masters couldn't thaw her at all.

Meng Hongchen then slowly and deliberately helped the young man from the Dragon Slaying Sect to break free of the ice.

Meng Hongchen's claim that she didn't want to thaw the ice for the sake of the team competition was just an excuse. She wanted the Dragon Slayer Sect youth to stay frozen in the ice a little longer. She wouldn't give the Dragon Slayer Sect a chance to fight as a team. This was the first battle of this competition, and her mission was to establish the prestige of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. She wouldn't hold back.

None of the contestants sent by the Dragon Slaying Sect were a match for Meng Hongchen. They couldn't even force her to use her fourth soul skill. Meng Hongchen accomplished the feat of defeating seven opponents with just her first three soul skills.

A deafening roar of cheers, like a tsunami, resounded throughout the arena. Meng Hongchen represented not only the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, but also the Sun Moon Empire! Here, she would never lack fans.

In her first battle, she achieved the incredible feat of defeating seven opponents single-handedly. The people of the Sun Moon Empire cheered wildly for Meng Hongchen, for this was the glory she deserved.

Looking at Meng Hongchen shining brightly on the stage, Ji Lin also smiled. After all, she was his wife, and someone he had trained, so he was naturally very happy.
