Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 379 Violent Girl

"Both parties share the same name."

"Free Gate, Xiaoxiao."

"Mingyu Sect, Qin Yueyue."

Both sides stepped back and moved to the edge of the playing platform.

"The match begins."

As soon as the Unbreakable Douluo made his announcement, both sides started to move. Xiao Xiao took small steps and quickly rushed towards her opponent. Her speed was neither too fast nor too slow, but very rhythmic. However, she did not rush to release her martial soul.

Qin Yueyue raised her hands in front of her, and a flash of light appeared, revealing a soul tool in her palms.

It was a large cleaver, or rather, a long-handled cleaver.

The sword was over ten feet long, with the blade tip alone being nearly three feet long. The back of the blade was thick and the edge was sharp. The entire sword radiated a bluish-green luster.

At this moment, it was held in the hands of a petite girl who was only about 1.6 meters tall, which looked a bit strange.

Five spirit rings rose from Qin Yueyue's longsword: two yellow, two purple, and one black—the optimal spirit ring combination. Moreover, this longsword wasn't a spirit tool; it was her martial spirit itself. For a spirit master, the weight of a weapon-type martial spirit is negligible. No wonder she seemed to lack strength, yet could wield this large sword with such ease.

Just by looking at the three members of Mingyu Sect who have already made their official appearances, you can see how competitive they are. So far, none of the four-ring members have appeared; they are all Soul King level, and their overall strength can definitely be described as formidable.

Not to mention the teams from other countries participating in the competition, even within the Sun Moon Empire, very few people knew about the Mingyu Sect. No one knew that such a powerful sect was hidden in Mingdu.

Neither side was moving very fast, and they arrived at the center of the competition area almost one after the other.

When Qin Yueyue was about twenty meters away from Xiao Xiao, she suddenly paused, turned halfway, and made a feinting slash with her broadsword towards Xiao Xiao. The first spirit ring on the broadsword lit up. A streak of azure light shot out, slashing vertically towards Xiao Xiao.

The black light shone almost instantly, and a large cauldron appeared out of nowhere, blocking the blade's edge.

"Ding—" The cyan blade light dissipated, and the cauldron remained unmoved. Beneath Xiao Xiao's feet, six soul rings—two yellow, two purple, and two black—rose up, and the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron was released.

When Xiao Xiao released the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, the audience found it a bit funny. The two petite girls, one with a large cleaver as her martial soul and the other with a large cauldron, were equally bizarre.

With her first strike blocked, Qin Yueyue quickly unleashed a second strike, still using her first soul skill. But this time, the blade's light traced an arc on the ground.

Xiao Xiao also retrieved the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, and her pace suddenly quickened as she charged straight at her opponent.

Xiao Xiao's Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron needs to get close to defeat her opponent; remote control consumes too much soul power.

The Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron reappeared, blocking Qin Yueyue's azure blade light. However, the blade light suddenly veered off course, tracing a small arc, and actually attempted to bypass the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron to strike Xiao Xiao's true form.

But Xiao Xiao was prepared. The Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron spun around, and the blade light changed direction, smashing it directly onto the cyan blade light and shattering it.

In the brief exchange, both sides demonstrated their skills in controlling their martial spirits. The audience in the distance couldn't see clearly, but some powerful spectators couldn't help but admire them.

Zizai Sect is very strong, and none of its members are weak. However, Mingyu Sect is not bad either. Although their cultivation levels are generally weaker than Zizai Sect's, their combat experience and skills are excellent, and they were not defeated by Zizai Sect based on their cultivation levels.

Xiao Xiao blocked her opponent's cyan blade strikes one after another. When she was only a dozen meters away from Qin Yueyue, she suddenly grabbed the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron with her left hand, took a step forward with her left foot, and shouted. She spun around the cauldron with her left toes as the axis. The cauldron, which was more than 1.5 meters in diameter and almost the same height, was actually picked up by her slender hand and flung away with a gust of wind, heading straight for Qin Yueyue who was not far away.

What a violent girl! If this were Xiaoxiao a few years ago, she would have been a violent loli.

Xiao Xiao's domineering fighting style caught the attention of the audience, who gasped in surprise.

Qin Yueyue shouted and stepped forward with her left foot. She slashed forward with her broadsword. First, a blade of light struck the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, and then the broadsword itself clashed with the cauldron for the first time.

"Bang!" The deafening roar was like the sound of a giant bell being struck. The Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron was cleaved in mid-air by the greatsword and then fell down on its own. Qin Yueyue was also knocked back three steps by the cauldron.

In the contest of strength between the two girls, Xiao Xiao, with her superior cultivation, ultimately prevailed.

Xiao Xiao pressed her advantage, leaping forward to catch up with the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron that was about to hit the ground. With a push of her hands forward, a layer of black light rose from her body, and the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron was already heading straight for Qin Yueyue.

The distance was too close, and the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron was too large; dodging was simply impossible. Qin Yueyue had no choice but to hold her broadsword horizontally, using the handle to block the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron head-on.

"Bang!" The knife handle bent slightly at first, and then Qin Yueyue's body was thrown away.

Despite being knocked away, Qin Yueyue remained calm. She raised her broadsword high, her third spirit ring gleaming. With a flick of her wrists, she gripped the hilt of the broadsword and then forcefully slashed downwards.

Suddenly, a massive blade of light, over ten meters long, descended from the sky, slashing straight at Xiao Xiao, who was relentlessly pursuing it. Its magnificent momentum seemed to cleave the entire arena in two.

Xiao Xiao was not afraid at all. Her second soul ring lit up, and she raised the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron in her hand, blocking it above her head. The already huge cauldron expanded several times over, becoming more than three meters in diameter. The golden tulip pattern on the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron was particularly eye-catching, and a powerful black light suddenly burst out, like a huge black light shield, covering her body.

"Clang—" Another loud noise rang out. Xiao Xiao crouched down slightly. The cyan blade light was first nearly half dissipated in the black light, and the remainder was blocked and neutralized by the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Xiao threw the enlarged Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron in her hand again, chasing after Qin Yueyue who had just landed but was staggering backward, her actions extremely aggressive.

Seeing Xiao Xiao's incredibly violent fighting style, Nan Qiuqiu and Wang Dong'er both gaped in astonishment. Was this really the same Xiao Xiao who was usually so low-key and gentle? They had no idea that Xiao Xiao could be so violent.

A hint of seriousness flashed in Qin Yueyue's eyes. The pressure Xiaoxiao was putting on her was too great, giving her no chance to breathe. She had barely managed to stand up when the huge Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron was already pressing down on her like a small mountain.

As she plunged her broadsword into the ground, Qin Yueyue's entire body shone with a hazy blue light. Then, accompanied by a series of clanging sounds, a layer of armor quickly covered her body.

It was a full suit of cyan armor. The armor looked extremely thick, and after covering her entire body, Qin Yueyue became very imposing, like a Valkyrie. Just as the armor covered her entire body, the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron was already in front of her.

Qin Yueyue pushed her broadsword forward with her right hand, showing no intention of dodging, and charged straight at him.

She was originally the kind of Soul Master who fought head-on, and Xiao Xiao's fighting style was her favorite.

"Boom—" The Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron was repelled in response. Qin Yueyue also drew her greatsword again. With a flash of light behind her, she leaped high into the air and swung her greatsword straight at Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao was startled to see that her opponent's strength had increased significantly. The sudden increase in power clearly stemmed from the armor she wore. This must be Qin Yueyue's melee soul tool, a very ingenious combination that used the armor to amplify her own power, thus better unleashing the power of her greatsword. Compared to her two companions, Qin Yueyue's abilities were by no means weak.

The Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron returned, and Xiao Xiao lifted it with both hands, and the cauldron once again blocked above her head. With a loud "clang," the steel plate ground beneath her feet suddenly sank half a foot.

With the amplification of the Soul Guidance Armor, Qin Yueyue's power has narrowed the gap between her and Xiao Xiao's soul power.

Qin Yueyue pressed her advantage relentlessly, unleashing a barrage of slashes with her broadsword, each strike carrying a powerful azure light. Xiao Xiao, however, managed to block all the attacks with the help of the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron. After all, she was a Soul Emperor; although not known for her strength, she wouldn't be easily defeated by a Soul King with a set of Level 6 Soul Guidance Armor.

Qin Yueyue's armor not only amplifies her strength, but also enhances her soul power. This is why she has temporarily suppressed Xiao Xiao. This soul-guided armor was tailor-made for her martial soul.

With her Level 6 Soul Guidance Armor and her Martial Soul, she had defeated Level 6 Soul Guidance Masters of the Sun Moon Empire before.

Geniuses are always different, and the Mingyu Sect members can also be considered geniuses, having brought the combined combat power of soul tools and soul masters to its fullest extent.

The performance of Mingyu Sect has impressed many Soul Masters and Soul Instructors, who see a direction for progress in Mingyu Sect.

Soul Masters with powerful Martial Souls, when paired with suitable Soul Tools, are like tigers with wings. The Soul Kings of the Mingyu Sect, equipped with suitable Level 6 Soul Tools, already possess the combat power of Soul Emperors. In the past, this was a privilege reserved for geniuses.

But now, all it takes is a suitable soul tool to allow a non-genius soul master to unleash the combat power of a genius.

After Xiaoxiao discovered that Qin Yueyue's strength had surpassed hers after being amplified, she stopped fighting head-on and began to use techniques of borrowing and deflecting force to gradually stabilize the situation.

Simultaneously activating her martial soul and soul tool armor, Qin Yueyue's energy expenditure far exceeded Xiao Xiao's. Her endurance was far inferior to Xiao Xiao's. Xiao Xiao only needed to steadily wear down Qin Yueyue. She was not a power-attack type soul master to begin with, but rather followed a support route. Her strengths lay in defense and control, and she could not end the battle as quickly as a power-attack type soul master.

Xiao Xiao also possesses twin martial souls, and her soul power is far stronger than that of ordinary Soul Emperors. She doesn't care about this little bit of consumption at all, while Qin Yueyue is not. So she is not in a hurry at all. This calm personality is far superior to Wang Dong'er's.

The first two matches between Zizaimen and Mingyuzong ended quickly, as Wang Dong'er is an offensive player who can seize any opportunity to take down an opponent in one fell swoop.

The competition in front of us was the most intense, a real clash that was truly thrilling and exciting.

Qin Yueyue launched a frenzied attack, slashing one after another, but Xiao Xiao's defense was impenetrable and as steady as a mountain.

This left the defensive-type Soul Masters from the other participating teams dumbfounded.

"Clang—" Another slash fell, but was deflected by the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron.

A sense of powerlessness suddenly overwhelmed Qin Yueyue. She felt as if the giant cauldron in front of her was an insurmountable mountain. She had tried her best to attack it, but she was powerless to do anything about it. This feeling was extremely distressing.

Oh no, my soul power is being used up too quickly. The moment Qin Yueyue felt powerless, she realized that this was because she was running out of energy.

Xiao Xiao had been waiting for this opportunity. It wasn't that she lacked the ability to quickly defeat Qin Yueyue, but rather that she also wanted to hone her combat skills further, as such opportunities were rare.

Furthermore, she was also hiding her true strength. Although her teammates were all incredibly strong, the composed Xiaoxiao subconsciously concealed a portion of her abilities.

Xiao Xiao noticed Qin Yueyue's exhaustion immediately. After the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron clashed with its opponent again, it suddenly stepped forward, wrapped its arms around one side of the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, pulling back with its left hand and rubbing forward with its right.

Instantly, the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron began to spin violently, pulling Qin Yueyue's follow-up slash aside.

With a sharp cry, Xiao Xiao pulled her hands downwards, and the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron instantly grew larger again. Its first soul ring shone brightly, and the enlarged cauldron crashed to the ground.

"Boom!" A loud roar accompanied by a large amount of black energy spreading outwards. Caught off guard, Qin Yueyue was immediately blasted into the air by this energy.

Qin Yueyue was always a melee soul master, and in terms of soul skills, she was still a step behind a true soul master. She was too reliant on her soul tool. The two fought for so long, and Xiao Xiao never used any soul skills. As a result, Qin Yueyue even forgot that she was facing a soul master, not a melee soul master like her.

The sudden burst of soul skill caught Qin Yueyue off guard, and her body was thrown into the air. Qin Yueyue felt her entire armor buzzing, and she also had tinnitus and dizziness. She knew in her heart that something was wrong! But it was too late.

Xiao Xiao pushed forward with both hands, sending the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron flying with a double palm strike. Her second soul ring also shone brightly, and the cauldron swayed.

Xiao Xiao seized the opportunity, and Qin Yueyue, who had nowhere to hide, was sent flying by the powerful blow. While in the air, she spat out a mouthful of blood.

Xiao Xiao grabbed the shrunken Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron in mid-air and threw it out again, sending it crashing down on Qin Yueyue in the air with a loud whistling sound.
