Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 389 Xu Sanshi, who was tricked

Dai Huabin was bounced back, but his gaze immediately turned to the nine silver lights in the sky. He released several soul skills in succession and charged up again.

The Nine Luminaries were also rapidly changing in the air. The nine metal spheres quickly gathered together, and then, they emitted a burst of silver light. The nine silver lights actually merged into one and bombarded Dai Huabin.

Zhu Lu and Dai Huabin stepped forward at the same time, but were both bounced back by the silver light. Jiang Nannan stepped forward and kicked out, colliding with the silver light. The silver light dissipated, but she was also bounced more than ten meters away, widening the distance between herself and the Sun and Moon Team.

Lan Xiu single-handedly stopped three Shrek Academy members, proving himself to be the hidden trump card of the Sun Moon Team. Apart from Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen, Lan Xiu holds the highest position in the Sun Moon Team.

Down in the audience, Zhang Lexuan, Zhou Sichen, and the others in the Shrek Academy's rest area also changed their expressions. That silver light was too effective against melee Soul Masters, and on Shrek's side, Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, and Jiang Nannan were all melee fighters. This reflected ray greatly hindered them, preventing them from getting close enough to unleash their power, which greatly limited the strength of the Shrek Academy team.

Xiao Ping and Ding Xiaobu, the remaining members of the Sun and Moon Team, approached Xu Sanshi. They flew into the sky and headed straight for He Caitou behind Shrek Academy.

Xu Sanshi had to focus on protecting Ning Tian, ​​as this super support couldn't afford to get hurt. She was the guarantee of Bei Bei's combat power. Without the amplification of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Bei Bei might not be able to defeat Meng Hongchen of the Ultimate Ice.

Xiao Hongchen, positioned in front of Lan Xiu, also began to act. Circles of light shone and rose around him, and cannon barrels quickly took shape as the points of light merged together.

Two yellow, two purple, and two black rose up from beneath his feet.

Originally, he wanted to forcefully break through to the Soul Saint realm with the help of drugs, but he gave up the idea because of Meng Hongchen and Ji Lin. Even if he broke through to the Soul Saint realm, he would not be able to defeat Ji Lin. As for dealing with Shrek Academy, with Meng Hongchen there, there was a chance of victory, and he did not need to sacrifice his future.

Jing Hongchen also opposed his forced breakthrough.

Countless artillery barrages erupted instantly, engulfing Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, and Jiang Nannan, making it impossible for them to get close.

In the center of the arena, Bei Bei raised her hand and unleashed a Thunder Dragon Claw attack towards Meng Hongchen.

Compared to his previous Thunder Dragon Claw attacks, BeiBei's Thunder Dragon Claw was more solid and smaller in size than his previous arena dragon claw attacks, and the electric snakes swirling around it were also much smaller.

Soul skill attacks are never better the larger they are; in many cases, size and power are inversely proportional.

Even Yu Tianlong showed a hint of surprise upon seeing this attack. In terms of lightning control, this Beibei was undoubtedly superior to him.

Facing Bei Bei's Thunder Dragon Claw, Meng Hongchen's fourth soul ring shone, and an ice prism mirror appeared in front of him. Bei Bei's Thunder Dragon Claw disappeared into it. The next moment, the Thunder Dragon Claw flew out from the ice prism mirror and attacked Bei Bei in return.

Meng Hongchen's fourth soul skill after his martial soul evolution, Ice Crystal Reflection, can reflect the opponent's energy attacks.

At the same time, Meng Hongchen raised her slender fingers, releasing a ring of ice blades from her fingertips, and slashed rapidly towards Beibei.

The second soul skill, Ice Aura, can release a ring of extremely sharp ice blades that can instantly cut a target in two.

Beibei, however, remained fearless. A layer of white light emanated from his body, transforming into a protective shield.

"Clang—." The white light shield blocked Meng Hongchen's icy aurora.

Level 6 Soul Guidance Shield.

Shrek Academy also has soul tools; this isn't exclusive to the Sun and Moon Team.

Meng Hongchen was taken aback when Bei Bei used the soul tool. At that moment, Bei Bei was already in front of her. He stretched out his right arm, which instantly grew by half a foot. The claws of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex went straight for Meng Hongchen's head and grabbed down.

In an instant, lightning crackled around them, and a thunderous dragon claw shot out first, followed by the Bebe Dragon Claw itself.

Meng Hongchen neither dodged nor evaded, and instantly slashed out with his two swords, first shattering the Thunder Dragon Claw, and then slashing at Bei Bei's right claw.

Not only that, Meng Hongchen also exhaled a cloud of icy mist, enveloping Bei Bei, using his first soul skill, Frost Breath.

Meng Hongchen's first soul skill came too suddenly, and Bei Bei could only use her left hand to block the ice mist, while her right hand clashed head-on with Meng Hongchen's twin swords.

"Clang—." Amidst the sound of metal clashing, both sides retreated. Beibei's right hand was protected by dragon scales after his dragon transformation, but his left hand was hit by the icy breath. Under the extreme low temperature of the ice, Beibei's left hand gradually became stiff. If it weren't for his subconsciously focusing more soul power on his left hand, as well as Ning Tian's amplification, his left hand would have been frozen into an ice sculpture on the spot.

This is the power of extreme ice; it is extremely difficult to deal with.

The spectators were in an uproar. The Shrek team, which had been on the offensive, was now completely suppressed.

Both being Soul Saints, Bei Bei was suppressed by Meng Hongchen and suffered the first loss, while Shrek Academy, which had a numerical advantage, was also suppressed by Xiao Hongchen alone because of Lan Xiu's Nine Luminaries.

Countless cannons, conjured from Xiao Hongchen's soul power, erupted wildly. Behind him, Lan Xiu controlled Jiu Yao, firmly blocking Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu.

Xiao Ping and Ding Xiaobu charged towards Ning Tian, ​​clashing with Xu Sanshi who was protecting Ning Tian, ​​while Shi Xing went to harass He Caitou.

Among the Shrek team, the other six members are mostly good at mid- and close-range combat, but He Caitou's research direction has always been fixed-position soul tools. His training direction is to strike targets as far and as accurately as possible. Although he cannot use fixed-position soul tools in the competition, he is definitely second to none in terms of range and area coverage attack.

Faced with the trend of harassment, He Caitou abandoned the Soul Guidance Artillery tactics and instead used a level four Spike Cannon. The characteristic of this Soul Guidance Cannon is that the coverage area after the explosion is not large, but the penetration of a direct hit is particularly strong, with a secondary piercing effect. The way to deal with it is to avoid direct confrontation as much as possible. As long as you can evade it, the Spike Cannon generally cannot produce much destructive power.

A total of sixteen spiked cannons were fired. Six of them were aimed at Shi Xing, while the remaining ten spiked cannons were all aimed at one person, Lan Xiu, who had caused Shrek Academy a lot of trouble.

Amidst the deafening roar, Shi Xing was forced to take cover and retreat due to the aftershocks of the explosion.

The remaining ten spiked projectiles shot towards Lan Xiu with a whooshing sound. Before Lan Xiu could lift a finger, Xiao Hongchen took the initiative to fire soul-guided rays and soul-guided cannons, intercepting the ten spiked projectiles in mid-air.

"BOOM!!!"

A series of explosions rang out in the air as Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu constantly dodged the encirclement and interception of the silver light in the sky.

However, under Lan Xiu's control, the Nine Luminaries seemed to come alive. Nine silver lights intertwined in the air, sometimes forming a cage, sometimes a net of light, greatly restricting Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu, preventing them from getting close.

Just then, an unexpected event occurred. Shi Xing had just dodged the explosive impact of the spiked cannon in mid-air when, in the next instant, an extremely terrifying feeling made his whole body tremble suddenly. When he looked up at the sky, Shi Xing was horrified to see that a metal sphere with a diameter of about half a meter had appeared in the sky at some unknown time. The side of this metal sphere facing him looked like a big eye, with intense red light churning on the surface of the sphere. In the instant he looked up, a beam of red light had already fallen straight down.

At the same time, he felt a sudden surge of gravity, and he fell from the sky, pinned to the ground by gravity, unable to move or dodge the red light falling from the sky.

In the distance, Jiang Nannan had arrived at the rear at some point, one hand pointing at Shi Xing. She had released her second soul skill, Gravity Control, which temporarily trapped Shi Xing, preventing him from dodging.

A tall figure appeared in mid-air at the right time, and a layer of white light shielded Shi Xing's head. A violent roar sounded for more than a dozen times before stopping. Shi Xing stood there, his face pale.

"Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, Shi Xing, eliminated." The tall figure in the air was undoubtedly the Unbreakable Douluo Zheng Zhan. When the red light fell from the sky, he had already judged that Shi Xing could not withstand it. Bound by Jiang Nannan's gravity control, even with an invincible shield, Shi Xing could not withstand this terrifying attack.

That's a powerful soul tool with the highest level of seven, known as the Eye of Fear!

The Eye of Fear is a peculiar remote-controlled soul tool that must be launched into the air to be used. The launch altitude of the Eye of Fear depends on its own rank.

This kind of soul tool can be any level, such as level seven, level eight, or level nine, but the power varies greatly.

The level 7 Eye of Fear can be launched to a height of 100 meters above the ground, with an attack coverage diameter of 300 meters. It can fire a Fear Ray every ten seconds. The Fear Ray has multiple effects, including decomposition, continuous explosion, piercing, ablation, burning, and corrosion. Its duration depends on the energy level of its energy-gathering array.

The level 8 Eye of Fear can be launched up to 300 meters away, suspended in mid-air, and located by the caster on the ground. The attack coverage area is up to 1,000 meters in diameter. It is launched every 15 to 20 seconds and is three times as powerful as the level 7 Eye of Fear. It also has an additional bombing effect. A single bombing can leave no vegetation in an area with a diameter of 50 meters.

As for the Eye of Fear at Level Nine, it is said that only one exists in the secret arsenal of the Sun Moon Empire, and its power remains unknown to this day because it has never been used in war.

The weakness of the Eye of Fear is that it requires predicting attacks and is easily damaged, but with Jiang Nannan's cooperation, He Caitou took the opportunity to defeat Shixing.

Seeing that the trend was being phased out, all the cannon barrels on Xiao Hongchen's body suddenly and mysteriously merged into a giant cannon with a diameter of more than half a meter, and fired a shot straight towards...

Jiang Nannan left.

But the next moment, a black light flashed, and Jiang Nannan's figure disappeared, replaced by Xu Sanshi. Jiang Nannan then turned into a blur and attacked Xiao Ping and Ding Xiaobu, overwhelming them. Her Saint Mark Skill, Extreme Shadow, made Jiang Nannan's speed no less than that of an agility-type Soul Saint, leaving Xiao Ping and Ding Xiaobu struggling to keep up.

As Xu Sanshi used the Xuanming Shield Formation to block Xiao Hongchen's soul-guided cannon, a strange smile appeared on Xiao Hongchen's lips. He darted out and headed straight for Xu Sanshi. A strange white bolt of lightning appeared silently as Xiao Hongchen darted out, and the lightning was aimed at Xu Sanshi, who had just blocked the soul-guided cannon.

The white lightning bolt came too suddenly. The intense light enveloped Xu Sanshi's entire body, moving so fast that he didn't even have a chance to dodge or use the Xuanming Replacement.

Xu Sanshi's body trembled violently, and a shocking scene unfolded. It could be clearly seen that Xu Sanshi's hair turned pale at an alarming speed, losing all its luster.

He immediately knelt on the ground, and everyone could feel that his body was aging at an alarming rate.

This is……?

Offstage, Zhang Lexuan's face was grim. She had already realized that this was a trap, a trap aimed at Xu Sanshi.

Xiao Hongchen had studied at Shrek Academy and had also met Xu Sanshi. He knew that Xu Sanshi's biggest weakness was Jiang Nannan. Shi Xing was the bait he deliberately threw out, and Lan Xiu also deliberately ignored Jiang Nannan, letting her leave to support He Caitou. Everything was for this moment.

Xiao Hongchen knew very well how troublesome Xu Sanshi's skills were in team battles; they were the kind of skills that could easily cause their Sun Moon team to lose the entire game if they weren't careful. So he had already devised a plan to kick Xu Sanshi out first.

The Aging Ray, a powerful soul tool newly developed by Mingde Hall, will evaporate the life force in the target's body once it hits, causing them to age rapidly until death. If they cannot replenish enough life force in a very short time, or if their own life force is not strong enough, they will die directly from aging.

A powerful level 7 soul tool! It is currently in the experimental stage and can only be used on a single target.

This is Xiao Hongchen's trump card against Xu Sanshi.

On the surface, Xiao Hongchen was attacking Jiang Nannan, but what he really hoped for was for Xu Sanshi to come and save her. Fortunately, Xu Sanshi did not disappoint him and walked right into the trap he had carefully prepared.

Xu Sanshi, kneeling on one knee, had wrinkles on his forehead, and his right hand, which held the Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield, hung limply at his sides.

Xiao Hongchen, who had used a level-seven soul tool, also took a few breaths. Using this soul tool had consumed a lot of his soul power, but the results were gratifying. He had made a great contribution by bringing Xu Sanshi, the number two figure in Shrek Academy, with him.

"Senior Xu!"

"Xu Sanshi!"

The rest of the Shrek team exclaimed in unison.

For them, Xu Sanshi was their vice-captain, and his elimination was a significant blow to them.

Although the opposing team also eliminated one member, Shi Xing was already in poor form, so he was just bait.

"Damn it!" Seeing Xu Sanshi being sent off the stage by referee Zheng Zhan, Dai Huabin roared. He had long been annoyed by Lan Xiu's reflective rays, and now that he saw Xu Sanshi being tricked, he could no longer hold back. He looked up at the sky and let out an angry roar. He pulled Zhu Lu beside him with his right hand and hugged her into his arms.

The two embraced on the ring.
