Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 370 The Cunning Wang Dong'er

A layer of golden ripples appeared on Wang Dong'er's body, and the golden light shone on the nearby Crimson Fire Cannonball, slowing its momentum down instantly.

The next moment, Wang Dong'er held the huge Crimson Fire Cannonball in her hands.

But the obviously extremely unstable red fire shell did not explode.

"This is..." Even Regent Xu Tianran on the platform couldn't help but let out a low exclamation.

Wang Dong'er's eyes turned gold under the effect of her fifth soul skill, Light God Possession. She looked up at Shi Xing in the sky and said calmly, "Here you go."

With both hands raised, the enormous cannonball was placed in her right hand. Under her support, the crimson cannonball emitted an even more intense light than before, the crimson flames turning into a brilliant gold. The next moment, it flew straight towards Shixing with a dazzling tail flame.

Wang Dong'er's fifth soul skill, "Light God Possession," transforms her into a body of light element for three seconds, making her compatible with all elemental attributes except for darkness. When attacking, it doubles the power of any other soul skill she uses and unleashes three times the attack power against dark elements.

As she launched the massive cannonball, Wang Dong'er grinned slyly and muttered to herself, "Hehe! I gave him enough time; I successfully tricked him into using his ultimate move."

The moment the giant cannonball was launched, the gold on her body suddenly faded, and with a flap of her wings, she chased after the cannonball towards Shixing.

Shi Xing was completely dumbfounded at this moment. At the moment the heavy cannon was fired, countless possibilities flashed through his mind. In his imagination, the worst-case scenario was that Wang Dong'er had an invincible shield to defend against his attack. But even so, he would still have time to launch another attack. Using the invincible shield would consume soul power and would also be equivalent to revealing one of the opponent's trump cards.

But to his utter surprise, the ultimate move he had been preparing for all this time was back!

Seeing the golden cannonball hurtling towards him at a speed no slower than when it went, Shi Xing reacted immediately. He gritted his teeth and slapped his chest. Instantly, a golden light shield rose from his body, enveloping him completely.

He was not only tricked into revealing his ultimate move, but he even had to use his last trump card to save his life.

"Boom—" A terrifying explosion rang out in the air, as dazzling and spectacular as a giant golden firework in full bloom.

Shi Xing, who was at the epicenter of the explosion, felt his soul power being consumed at an alarming rate. His one-time invincible shield had begun to make a "crackling" sound, as if it was about to be unable to withstand the impact of the terrifying explosion.

With great difficulty, he managed to hold on until the aftershocks of the explosion completely disappeared. By this time, his own soul power, plus the consumption from using the soul tool earlier, had been reduced to less than 50%.

At this moment, Wang Dong'er had already disappeared.

The next moment, a huge golden six-pointed star pattern floated above Shi Xing's head. Just as Shi Xing looked around for Wang Dong'er, a huge golden beam of light descended from the sky and engulfed his body.

The level 5 soul-guided shield that Shi Xing used to protect him was activated instantly, but his figure was still no longer visible. With his wings spread, Wang Dong'er descended from the sky, and a golden ball of light quickly condensed and took shape in front of her.

"Clang—" The soul guide shield shattered, and another invincible shield rose up, but Shi Xing's own soul power had dropped to less than 30%. Then he saw a brilliant golden ball of light stick to his invincible shield, and a piercing friction sound burst out with countless golden lights.

His soul power plummeted, and Shi Xing's eyes revealed helplessness. Looking at Wang Dong'er, who was only inches away and whose wings were spread out like the goddess of light descending, he knew that he had lost.

"I give up!" Shi Xing shouted.

Xiao Hongchen had said beforehand that there was no need to fight to the death in this match; winning or losing didn't matter. Even if they lost to Zizaimen, their Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team would still advance.

They don't have Ji Lin's obsessive-compulsive disorder, which insists on winning every match to advance.

Of course, he was not entirely convinced of his defeat in this match. He was completely stunned by Wang Dong'er's fifth soul skill and couldn't understand how his ultimate move was knocked back.

The moment Shi Xiang shouted to admit defeat, the referee below yelled for Wang Dong'er to stop.

Wang Dong'er spread her arms to indicate that she would not attack again, then folded her wings and fell from the air to the ground.

Shi Xing breathed a sigh of relief. If the fight continued, he would run out of soul power and would definitely be no match for Wang Dong'er. What if he was accidentally killed? He would have nowhere to cry then and could only ask his teammates to come to his house for a feast.

Wang Dong'er landed gracefully, glancing at the referee. The referee's bias was too obvious. As soon as Shi Xing conceded defeat, he couldn't wait to stop Wang Dong'er, much more so than during other sect competitions.

As Wang Dong'er retracted her soul skill and landed, Shi Xing also fell from the sky, his face pale, a sign that his soul power was exhausted.

Wang Dong'er held up one index finger and shook it, saying, "Referee, can you declare me the winner now?"

"Hmm. In the first match of the individual elimination rounds, Zizaimen won."

As the match ended, the soul-guided shield outside the arena naturally receded and disappeared.

Shi Xing returned to his own rest area dejectedly.

Wang Dong'er waited on the stage for her second opponent. The second contestant of the Sun and Moon team was a short and stocky young man. When he stepped onto the stage, he looked like a square object. He was very broad, but only about 1.6 meters tall. His thick arms were thicker than many people's thighs, and his short hair, like steel needles, exuded a fierce aura.

The short, stocky young man was named Zhou Xinghao. He distanced himself from Wang Dong'er, and after both of them were in position, the referee raised his right arm and swung it down sharply. This time, he did not show favoritism, presumably because he realized he had gone too far.

Zhou Xinghao didn't fly up like the trend had before. As soon as the referee waved his hand, he raised both hands, and a ball of black light suddenly shone. A cone-shaped metal camel with a maximum diameter of more than half a meter appeared in his hands, and he threw it violently to the ground in front of him.

With a loud "bang," the metal camel landed on the ground and began to spin violently, instantly transforming into a large base with a piercing clang.

Zhou Xinghao leaped up, with at least twelve points on his body radiating the light of storage soul tools. This was a typical opening move for a soul-guided turret, but the base of his soul-guided turret was clearly much larger than that of an ordinary soul-guided turret.

As Zhou Xinghao began to set up his formation, Wang Dong'er sprang up like an arrow, a bright light suddenly shining behind her. Propelled by the blinding white light, Wang Dong'er rushed towards Zhou Xinghao.

Wang Dong'er was using a level six soul-guided propulsion device, which could instantly reach a speed of 100 meters per second. With Wang Dong'er's physical qualities and cultivation level, she could just fully control a level six soul-guided device.

Ji Lin and his Zizai Sect are not traditional Soul Masters who reject Soul Tools. They are equipped with many auxiliary Soul Tools. Although they do not make Soul Tools, they know how to use them!

Wang Dong'er instantly closed the distance to Zhou Xinghao. When they were still ten meters apart, she released her Goddess of Light Butterfly. Her dazzling wings suddenly unfurled, and with the powerful propulsion, she pressed down on her wings and lifted herself into the air. With her wings spread, she faced Zhou Xinghao directly. Her second spirit ring was already shining brightly, and the light of the Butterfly Goddess shot towards Zhou Xinghao like a meteor shower.

The whole process was incredibly fast. The audience only saw a blur before the dazzling blue-gold wings unfurled not far from Zhou Xinghao, followed by a deluge of golden meteors raining down.

Zhou Xinghao was dumbfounded. His soul-guided turret had only just begun to assemble! It couldn't be used at all yet. Helpless, he had no choice but to immediately activate his level 5 soul-guided shield.

As a Level 5 Soul Master and a Five-Ring Soul King, he was actually a little weaker than Shi Xing in terms of cultivation. However, due to his extraordinary talent and innate superhuman strength, he had unique abilities in Soul Guidance Turret Battle Tactics. He could control some powerful and heavy Soul Guidance Devices and combine them. His nickname at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy was: Heavy Cannon.

With his soul-guided shield activated, Zhou Xinghao gritted his teeth and began to combine his soul-guided devices at full speed, enduring Wang Dong'er's attacks.

But Wang Dong'er clearly wasn't going to give him a chance. Her figure descended from the sky, her wings folded and raised high, transforming into two enormous guillotines that fell from the sky.

As it fell, its dazzling wings seemed to spark with the air, and brilliant golden flames burst forth.

"Sizzle!" Amidst the ear-piercing friction sound, the soul-guiding shield trembled violently. Immediately afterward, Zhou Xinghao saw a golden ball of light bloom in front of him, and he instinctively activated his invincible shield.

"Idiot." Wang Dong'er stuck out her tongue and made a face.

The next moment, Wang Dong'er appeared behind Zhou Xinghao, but did not continue her attack.

Amidst a series of clanging sounds, Zhou Xinghao's soul-guided turret was finally assembled. At this moment, he looked like a giant hedgehog fortress, with over 150 cannons of various kinds protruding from his body, making him look like a steel monster on a huge base.

This is still without allowing the use of fixed soul tools; otherwise, the huge cannons of fixed soul tools would make him look even more fierce.

But Zhou Xinghao's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He had been tricked by Wang Dong'er into revealing an invincible shield. You should know that each member of their Sun and Moon team only prepared two invincible shields.

Releasing an invincible shield consumes soul power. Even if the opponent does not attack, it will still consume 10% of his own soul power. And his soul-guided turret battle technique relies heavily on soul power.

Without hesitation, he activated one soul ring after another, unleashing the soul skills that amplified his soul power. At the same time, the soul-guided turret spun rapidly on its base, searching for Wang Dong'er's whereabouts.
