Douluo Dalu II: The Peerless Tang Sect

Chapter 41 Jiang Nannan's Second Soul Skill! (Happy New Year!)

All the students in Class 4 and Xia Yu arrived at the open space in front of the teaching building.

This is a rectangular open space about 100 meters long and 50 meters wide. The ground is covered with hard, solid rock that can withstand the impact of Soul Emperor-level Soul Power. In addition, it is very flat, making it very suitable for combat.

The group formed a circle to serve as the battleground.

Xia Yu stood in front of the crowd and said, "First group, let's begin!"

"Nannan, keep going!" Tang Ya encouraged Jiang Nannan.

Jiang Nannan responded and looked at Zhu Ziyang. After seeing Zhu Ziyang give her a thumbs-up, she confidently walked into the center of the field.

This scene was naturally witnessed by some girls who had feelings for Zhu Ziyang, and Li Yue was clearly among them. Therefore, she was very unhappy with Jiang Nannan and wanted to take this opportunity to teach her a lesson. She walked onto the stage with an unhappy expression.

"Both sides should state their names," Xia Yu said, temporarily acting as the referee.

"Jiang Nannan, a level 25 agility-attack type Soul Master."

"Li Yue, a level 24 control-type Grand Soul Master."

The two girls spoke at the same time. Jiang Nannan's soul power surprised the students outside the arena, but they understood after considering her close relationship with Zhu Ziyang.

"Level 25! Besides the class monitor, is there anyone else in our class with a higher soul power cultivation than Jiang Nannan?"

"I don't know."

"No wonder Jiang Nannan and the class monitor have such a good relationship."

"Pshaw! They're supposedly childhood sweethearts, how could they not be close?"

"..."

The students were discussing it animatedly.

"The match begins!" Xia Yu shouted.

Jiang Nannan and Li Yue simultaneously released their martial spirits.

A pair of moon-white rabbit ears appeared on Jiang Nannan's head, and a faint white crescent moon appeared on her forehead. Her whole figure became slender, and her two already slender jade legs became even more eye-catching. Two yellow soul rings flashed behind her.

Li Yue's martial soul is a dark black rope with white iron coils at both ends. After the rope appears, it moves nimbly between Li Yue's hands. Behind her are two bright yellow soul rings.

"The Ink Cloud Rope Martial Soul is quite a good control-type Martial Soul." Zhu Ziyang murmured after seeing Li Yue's Martial Soul, but his heart calmed down. Jiang Nannan was now at ease.

"Why are you so calm? Aren't you worried about Nan Nan?" Tang Ya appeared beside him at some point and asked.

"I have confidence in Nan Nan's abilities," Zhu Ziyang said with a smile.

On the field, Jiang Nannan and Li Yue launched their attacks simultaneously, both of their yellow spirit rings lighting up at the same time. The difference was that after the spirit rings lit up, a ghostly light appeared on Jiang Nannan's body, which then became ethereal, unleashing her first spirit skill, Moon Shadow Body. Li Yue's transformation, however, was entirely focused on the Ink Cloud Rope in her hand. The rope, originally only one meter long, instantly grew to ten meters, then flew towards Jiang Nannan like a nimble snake.

Under Li Yue's control, the Ink Cloud Rope moved at lightning speed, its trajectory unpredictable. Jiang Nannan naturally wouldn't stand still and let it trap her. She moved, and under the Moon Shadow Body, her speed doubled, like a swift cheetah, charging towards Li Yue.

Li Yue seemed to have anticipated Jiang Nannan's move. The Mo Yun Rope, which had been charging straight forward, suddenly turned back and blocked Jiang Nannan's path. Jiang Nannan couldn't dodge in time and crashed straight into it, becoming bound. Upon seeing this, Li Yue's face immediately lit up with a smile, but before it could fully develop, it darkened again. She saw that Jiang Nannan, bound by the Mo Yun Rope, was actually wriggling her body like a snake, easily freeing herself from the rope!

Freed from the control of the Mo Yun rope, Jiang Nannan's speed suddenly exploded, and she rushed to Li Yue's side in the blink of an eye. In her panic, Li Yue tried to use her second soul skill, but as soon as her soul ring lit up, Jiang Nannan had already grabbed her waist.

"The match is over," Zhu Ziyang said in a low voice.

"What?" Tang Ya was taken aback.

Jiang Nannan, who had grabbed Li Yue's waist, jumped up. Her second soul ring shone brightly. Then, to everyone's horror, she lifted the helpless Li Yue and jumped nearly ten meters into the air. She then did a 360-degree spin, drawing a circle, and slammed the dizzy Li Yue to the ground!

However, in everyone's eyes, it was the full moon casting its radiance.

"Teacher, save them!" Zhu Ziyang turned around and shouted to Xia Yu.

But Xia Yu's movements were much faster than his voice. The moment he turned around, he had already rushed out. A blur flashed by, and when he reappeared, he had someone in his hand.

"Jiang Nannan wins the first group," Xia Yu announced as she put Li Yue down.

Amidst everyone's horrified gazes, Jiang Nannan landed on the ground, her martial spirit and spirit rings vanishing, and she transformed back into her gentle, tender self, smiling sweetly at Zhu Ziyang. Zhu Ziyang, in turn, gave her a thumbs-up.

"Nan Nan, she..." Tang Ya couldn't help but swallow hard. She hadn't expected that Jiang Nan Nan, who seemed so gentle, would have such a violent soul skill. If Xia Yu hadn't caught Li Yue in time, Li Yue would probably have broken her bones! Even though she was caught, Li Yue was still in a lot of pain. Seeing her lying on the side, almost vomiting up her breakfast, Tang Ya felt a pang of fear. She hoped, hoped she wouldn't run into Nan Nan! It was too scary.

Tang Ya was not alone in her feelings; they were filled with fear of this seemingly gentle girl, finding her too torturous.

"Hehe!" Zhu Ziyang chuckled but didn't say anything.

Jiang Nannan's second soul skill is called "Empty Moon Throw". After using it, Jiang Nannan's strength instantly doubles. Her hands are covered with moonlight with a binding effect, lifting the enemy into the air and finally slamming them down.

This soul skill originates from the soul ring of a nine-hundred-year-old Flying Moon Hawk, derived from the hawk's hunting methods. It synergizes well with Jiang Nannan's martial soul advantage. While not comparable to the legendary Eight-Stage Explosive Throw, it significantly boosts Jiang Nannan's combat power. Generally speaking, unless the opponent is a strength-type soul master or a massive soul beast, anyone caught in close combat by Jiang Nannan should be cautious. This is because the final impact of the Flying Moon Throw will be five times Jiang Nannan's own strength!

"Second group, begin." Xia Yu stopped paying attention to Jiang Nannan and Li Yue. Although Jiang Nannan's strength impressed him, the most important thing right now was the competition.

The two trainees from the second group stepped onto the field, announced their names, and the battle began.

"Lin Ziwei, a level 24 Power Attack-type Soul Master!"

"Luo Tianyou, a level 24 Power Attack-type Soul Master!"

The two students in the second group, along with Li Yue, made up the only three level 24 Great Soul Masters in Class Four. Lin Ziwei's martial soul was the Tiger Soul Blade, an ancient and simple type of broadsword. Luo Tianyou's martial soul was the Rock Armor Bear, a high-level beast martial soul that combined strength and defense.

The two are evenly matched.

Lin Ziwei's Tiger Soul Blade is a heavy weapon, requiring immense strength. Its blade is extremely sharp and possesses formidable armor-piercing properties. Luo Tianyou is no less powerful; his Rock Armor Bear has thick hide and incredible strength. From the very first move, the two clashed head-on.

The longsword clashed with the bear's paw, producing a clanging sound. The two boys were evenly matched in strength, and after the contact, they immediately fell into a stalemate, exchanging blows without giving an inch.

The battle reached its climax, with both sides displaying intense fighting spirit and unleashing their soul skills. In the end, the more agile Lin Ziwei, relying on his skill and soul skills, gained a slight advantage and secured the victory.

Zhu Ziyang saw it clearly: Lin Ziwei's second soul skill was an amplification-type soul skill. After it was released, his strength increased significantly, and the sharpness of the Tiger Soul Blade also increased several levels. He easily broke through the Rock Armor Bear's defense and won the victory.
