Douluo Continent: From Seven Treasure Glazed Tile to Crescent Moon's Solemnity

Chapter 175 The Soul Burial Team

Entering the Heavenly Battle Arena, we arrived at the Central Battle Arena via the Battle Soul Passage.

Dugu Yan was temporarily separated from Ning Feiliu. She simply smiled and said a few words of encouragement to Ning Feiliu before going to the audience to watch.

After all, although Ning Feiliu and the others' opponents this time were very strong, they were not ridiculously strong—compared to Ning Feiliu's past record of defeating Soul Masters who were above her level.

Therefore, in Dugu Yan's opinion, this team battle is just another unremarkable victory, as Oslo just said.

It wasn't just them who thought this way; most of the audience members who came to watch this team battle thought the same way.

After all, the Moon Emperor team, led by Ning Feiliu, was already far too powerful at the Soul Master level, and Yu Tianheng, Yu Tianxin, Ye Lingling, and others were also quite strong.

The Moon Emperor Team's opponent this time, the Burial Soul Team, is a different story. Although the members are generally powerful, the weakest of the seven members, the support-type Soul Master, has a Soul Power of Level 37, four members have a Soul Power of Level 39, and the remaining two members have a Soul Power of Level 38.

However, their martial spirit and spirit ring combinations are more or less inferior to those of the Moon Emperor team, especially their martial spirit.

The Moon Emperor team's martial souls are all first-class or even top-tier martial souls, all famous and powerful martial souls, such as the Wind Chime Bird, Ghost Leopard, Black Tortoise, Nine-Heart Begonia, and Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex...

These martial souls have all left legends on the Douluo Continent. Even those whose martial souls seem ordinary, like Yu Feng and Ausro, actually inherited their ancestors' martial souls, which were all famous martial souls on the Douluo Continent.

After all, the students who enter the Heaven Dou Royal Academy are all noble children of high status. In the original story, unless there were exceptions, it would be difficult for people from Shrek Academy and other institutions without status or a clear background to set foot in the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Yu Feng and Oslo's families are well-known noble families in Tian Dou City, and their martial souls are quite powerful. Although they are not top-tier, they are still first-class martial souls.

The remaining Shi brothers' Xuanwu Martial Soul is one of the four great divine beasts, on par with the dragon, phoenix, and tiger. While it may be slightly inferior to dragon-type Martial Souls, it is undoubtedly a top-tier defensive Martial Soul.

Ye Lingling's Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul needs no further introduction; it is a top-tier healing-type Martial Soul, whose healing abilities are said to make it difficult for people to die.

It's not that its functions aren't as comprehensive as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul; it can definitely be called the number one support-type Martial Soul.

The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, the martial soul of Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin, who are known as the Twin Jades of the Blue Dragon, needs no further introduction. It is an absolutely top-tier martial soul and currently the number one offensive beast martial soul on the continent.

The power of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan made the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul renowned throughout the Douluo Continent.

Aside from being unable to defeat the Clear Sky Hammer, it can be said to be invincible in all other aspects.

In the end, it seems that only "Yafei's" martial soul - the Crescent Moon Divine Weapon - is relatively unknown compared to the powerful top-level martial souls of the other members of the Moon Emperor Team. However, everyone knows that as long as "Yafei" grows up, the name of the Crescent Moon Divine Weapon will resound throughout the entire Douluo Continent in the future.

After all... "Asia-Africa" ​​defeated Yu Tianheng, who possessed the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Martial Soul, thanks to its unique, comprehensive, and powerful Crescent Moon Divine Weapon Martial Soul.

Therefore, many people believe that the names "Asia and Africa" ​​and "Crescent Moon Divine Weapon" will become new legends in the Douluo Continent in the future.

And they are watching as a new legend rises.

Watching a legend rise is such an alluring and exciting thing.

That's why so many people support "Asia-Africa".

After all, it is human nature to admire strength. The strong naturally have a strong attraction. Even if they are not perfect in every aspect, their great power can represent everything.

And what about the Moon Emperor team's opponent this time—the Funeral Soul team?

Although their cultivation levels were generally much higher than those of the elite members of the Moon Emperor Team, their martial souls were all very ordinary.

The best martial soul among their team members is their captain Li Zang's martial soul—the Soul Burial Blade. Its attacks carry a fierce and ruthless killing intent, and its attack power ranks among the top of all weapon martial souls. However, it is actually not even as good as Osro's Ghost Leopard martial soul.

The other members' martial souls are ordinary ones like the War Wolf Martial Soul, Ghost Head Knife Martial Soul, Scythe Martial Soul, Ghost Ape Martial Soul, and the relatively common support-type martial soul, Healing Book.

Among the members of the Burial Soul Team, two members even have white ten-year soul rings. This strength configuration is far inferior to the Moon Emperor Team's full set of best soul rings.

In short, the outcome of this battle was a foregone conclusion in the eyes of the audience and the many members of the Moon Emperor team.

Ning Feiliu also felt there was no suspense, because... this was his final hundredth consecutive victory. No matter what, he had persevered until now, so this was the final victory for this mission...

He was determined to win!

Even if it takes all his strength, even if he faces an opponent far stronger than himself, he will win this final battle of souls.

After this battle, he can temporarily leave the arena.

After all, even after obtaining the Calm Mind Rune, there wasn't much improvement for him if he stayed in the Soul Arena to continue participating in Soul Battles. If he, who was invincible among his peers, didn't receive the rewards from the mission, then there would be no point in him staying in the Soul Arena to bully weaker opponents.

Moreover, stomping too many weaker opponents is meaningless and may even lower your actual combat skills and combat instincts.

For example, when you face a powerful opponent, he can react and dodge your attacks very quickly, and at the same time, he can immediately counterattack.

In this situation, you need to react promptly and take countermeasures.

However, if you face a weaker opponent, let alone counterattack, the opponent might not even have time to dodge.

Gradually, you get used to the kind of game where weaker opponents don't seize opportunities to counterattack, or you feel that even if their attacks hit you, it doesn't matter, and you can just tough it out.

But once you get used to this way of dominating weaker opponents, you might encounter a truly powerful one who seizes the opportunity to kill you in one blow, and then you're finished.

Of course, the most important thing is one's own mindset.

If someone looks down on their opponents in battle, thinking that no opponent is anything special, and is not careful at all, always thinking that they are invincible, then of course they will inevitably encounter a crisis at a critical moment in the future.

At least aside from other things, the Indian brother's principle of "even a lion will exert all its strength to hunt a rabbit" is still correct.

Ning Feiliu was not careless at all. Even though he had never been defeated during this period, in other people's eyes he was almost invincible among his peers.

However, he absolutely must secure this final victory.

Next, Ning Feiliu had an idea... that is to go outside Tiandou City for some training.

After obtaining the Calm and Composed World Rune, complete the remaining research tasks, and then go to Douluo Continent outside Tiandou City for some training.

And this also happens to trigger a task.

So after this battle of souls, he will leave Tiandou City, say goodbye to Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, and also bid farewell to the Moon Emperor Team.

However, he did not tell Ye Lingling, Yu Tianheng and the others beside him now, but planned to tell them after winning the battle.

At this moment, the members of the Moon Emperor team were chatting casually.

Only Ye Lingling glanced curiously at Ning Feiliu, who was calm at the moment. She sensed that Ning Feiliu seemed to have changed a bit just now.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Soul Fighter's passage.

"My lords." Li Zang, the captain of the Soul Burial Squad, and the other members of the Soul Burial Squad looked at the two people hiding under the cloak with some respect.

"Proceed according to plan. If this succeeds, His Holiness the Bishop will reward you handsomely," one of them said solemnly to the six members of the Soul Burial Squad.

"Yes, we will do our utmost to help you complete your mission, sir," Li Zang and the others quickly and respectfully replied.

They said it from the bottom of their hearts, after all, this mission was a huge surprise that fell from the sky for them.

Being able to establish connections with the big shots of the Spirit Hall, and most importantly, the task itself is not difficult—it simply involves removing or shattering the mask of the renowned genius spirit master "Yafei."

Moreover, they also have two adults sent by the Spirit Hall as the main force. They only need to help these two adults to easily join the Spirit Hall and receive generous rewards.

The cost of defeat wasn't too severe, after all, this battle of spirits wasn't a life-or-death battle.

So why wouldn't they do it?

They would certainly be very happy and would work extremely hard for it, even at the risk of being seriously injured, to help the two masters of the Spirit Hall complete their mission!

"Very good..." The two nodded and said with satisfaction.

Meanwhile, in one of the VIP rooms on the Heavenly Battle Arena.

Salas sipped his tea calmly, thinking to himself, "Afghanistan...who exactly are you? Why do you hide your identity like this?"

He had a premonition that the true identity of "Asia and Africa"... was very important!

This is the key reason why "Asia and Africa" ​​have repeatedly rejected the invitation from the Spirit Hall!

Therefore, he must know what the face behind the "Africa and Asia" mask looks like and who it is!

"We'll know soon..." Salas murmured.

He looked down at the arena...

……

The central battle arena of Tian Dou City.

"Welcome everyone to the central arena of the Heaven Dou Grand Arena! Today we will begin the most anticipated team battle match!" The host of the Heaven Dou Grand Arena announced loudly to the crowd of spectators through a megaphone.

"Ahhhhhh—" The audience members in the surrounding stands cheered enthusiastically.

"As you all know, the next team battle will be against the undefeated team since its inception, currently on a 19-game winning streak... the Moon Emperor Team!" the host shouted enthusiastically.

"Moon Emperor! Moon Emperor!"

"Moon Emperor! Moon Emperor!"

"Africa and Asia! Africa and Asia!"

……

The audience went wild, chanting the names "Moon Emperor Team" and "Asia-Africa" ​​loudly.

"They are a gathering of genius Soul Masters, and as many viewers have said, they... will be the future prodigies of our Heaven Dou Empire, that is absolutely beyond doubt!" The host smiled slightly and shouted enthusiastically again.

"But their next opponent... is no weakling either!" He then changed the subject, saying, "After all, while the Moon Emperor Team is the future of our Heaven Dou Empire, they are about to face the Soul Burial Team, which already boasts four level 39 Soul Masters. The outcome is still uncertain!"

"So... let's wait and see! Which side will take the next victory!"

"Let's welcome... Team Luna!"

As the host announced, Ning Feiliu, along with Yu Tianheng, Yu Tianxin, Ye Lingling, and others, slowly ascended the Great Soul Battle Platform.

As the eight members of the Moon Emperor team took the stage, the cheers from the audience rose to another level.

"Moon Emperor! Moon Emperor!"

"Moon Emperor! Moon Emperor!"

"Africa and Asia! Africa and Asia!"

……

Ning Feiliu, Yu Tianheng, Yu Tianxin, Ye Lingling, the Shi brothers, and others remained calm, but Oslo and Yu Feng seemed to be enjoying the cheers coming from all directions.

Just then, the host announced, "And next... let's welcome the Funeral Soul Team!"

The host, it must be said, was fairly impartial. While he showed a slight personal bias towards the Moon Emperor team, he remained quite fair to the Funeral Soul team.

Next, all eight members of the Funeral Souls team took to the field.

However, Ning Feiliu found it somewhat strange.

"Huh?" he murmured.

"The opposing team... isn't that support-type Soul Master going to play this time?" Yu Tianheng noticed something was wrong and said in a low voice.

That's right, the only support-type Soul Master in the opposing team is not on the field right now.

Instead, two more members of the team, wearing cloaks, appeared that they had never seen before.

"Are we going to add two new players right away?" Osro asked curiously.

"They didn't send any support-type Soul Masters... What were they thinking?" Yu Feng said, pursing his lips.

They had also received prior information that the opposing team would have one more player, making it an eight-player team battle.

They thought the other team had added a new player.

Unexpectedly... this time, the Soul Burial Team did not field their own support-type Soul Master, but instead fielded two new members who had not appeared before.

However, in team battles, the role of support-type Soul Masters is far greater than that of adding two more battle Soul Masters.

The amplification, healing, and sustain provided by support-type Soul Masters can enable a single Battle Soul Master to perform the function of one and a half, or even two, Battle Soul Masters.

This is equivalent to giving a normal seven-person team an additional three or even six Soul Masters in combat power.

Ning Feiliu, however, still felt something was amiss. He immediately whispered to Yu Tianheng and the others, "Be careful, the other side might have made some preparations."

Upon hearing "Asia and Africa's" words, Yu Feng and Oslo, who had initially underestimated the Funeral Soul Team, became slightly more serious.

"Okay..." everyone nodded and said.

"Let's prepare for this exciting battle of spirits! Let's wait and see who wins and who loses!" With the host's command, the battle of spirits began!
