Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect, Angels and Rakshasa Return

Chapter 159 - Laughing at the World: May I ask if you have ever been subjected to carpet bombing?

"Everyone! Silence. The competition is about to begin. Please allow His Majesty to speak," Dai Hao shouted in a deep voice. He did not use a megaphone, but his voice still carried far and wide, and his powerful and iron-blooded aura emanated from the city wall.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" All the soldiers maintaining order shouted at the same time, raising their weapons. Instantly, the entire Xingluo Square was filled with a chilling atmosphere.

You could see that the soldiers' eyes were filled with fanaticism; at this moment, all they could see was their commander standing on the city wall.

It seems that the Duke of White Tiger's dominance in the army is even greater than that of the Emperor in some respects!

"For a subject, it is a grave taboo to have merit that overshadows the emperor! As the saying goes, the imperial family is the most ruthless place. If an emperor can kill even his own brothers after ascending the throne, what chance do he have against those who are merely nominal brothers?!"

"No wonder the emperor bestowed his daughter upon him as a wife," Qian Lingyun murmured, a hint of doubt in her eyes.

[Is this duchess perhaps an informant planted by the emperor next to Dai Hao? Hahaha.]

Seeing the fleeting gloom on Emperor Xingluo's face as he deliberately put on an act of deep affection between ruler and subject, Qian Lingyun was in a good mood and began to observe their rich facial expressions with great interest.

"Both teams' members enter the arena." Tian Sha Douluo meticulously calculated the time, not extending it by even a second.

Seven people immediately stepped forward from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. Leading the way was their captain, Ma Rulong.

Following closely behind Ma Rulong were Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen.

Next up are Mika, Xiao Xiafeng, Chen Fei, and Lin Xi.

The opponents had already headed towards the arena, and Shrek Academy followed suit. As everyone entered the waiting area, seven students emerged. However, an unexpected scene unfolded for the audience and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

The seven Shrek Academy students who appeared were Vice Captain Dai Yueheng, Ling Luochen, Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, He Caitou, Wang Dong, and Huo Yuhao.

The instant that Huang Jinxu, the Heavenly Fiend Douluo, shouted "Start!", the formations of both sides changed simultaneously, and an astonishing scene unfolded.

As if they had planned it beforehand, the members of both teams simultaneously converged towards the center, forming a single line.

On Shrek Academy's side, Ma Xiaotao wasn't on the field; instead, He Caitou took her place. This move surprised the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, who thought: [Where's Ma Xiaotao?! Aren't your captains coming out for the finals?!]

"I've already announced the rules of the match, so I won't repeat them again. Both sides, step back and prepare to begin. The match ends when one side has no one left to fight." After saying this, Tian Sha Douluo flew into the air, giving the disheveled old man in the Shrek Academy rest area a very wary look.

Both teams' players were retreating, and gradually, they approached the edge of the playing field. On Shrek Academy's side, Dai Yueheng was still standing at the front, with Ling Luochen behind him, Xu Sanshi and Bei Bei guarding the flanks on the left and right, and He Caitou, Wang Dong, and Huo Yuhao standing at the back.

"Oh, you're on stage now? You can't cheat anymore! That's a shame!" Qian Lingyun glanced at Huo Yuhao, who was behind Shrek Academy, and smiled silently.

From Feng Ling and Qian Lingyun's perspective, the outcome of this competition is already decided!

Without Huo Yuhao's off-field cheating, and without Jiang Nannan's invincible golden body to hold back Xiao Hongchen's explosive power, Shrek Academy would undoubtedly lose this time.

The thought of buying one million gold soul coins from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy made Qian Lingyun a little happy, after all... she was determined to keep the money!

After the formation changed, an even fiercer battle broke out.

Countless orbs of light, formed from condensed soul power and released through soul tools, burst forth from the Sun and Moon Team members behind Lin Xi like a peacock spreading its tail feathers.

These orbs of light first scattered rapidly to the sides and into the sky, and then, with astonishing speed and a piercing shriek, headed straight for Shrek Academy.

The orbs of light were flying in the air and were still accelerating and converging. Judging from their trajectory, all of these orbs of light would fall on the seven students from Shrek Academy without any waste.

Without the guidance of the level nine Soul Master Mei Douluo, the half-baked Soul Master Qian Lingyun was completely lost.

Of course, don't expect Feng Ling to understand. Although Feng Ling's cultivation is high, she is actually even more outrageous than Qian Lingyun. She is a complete illiterate when it comes to soul tools!

On Shrek Academy's side, a beam of white light also shot into the sky.

The white light that shot into the sky shone like a white crescent moon in the air, and then instantly transformed into countless white beams that poured towards the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Undoubtedly, it was Dai Yueheng, the pillar of Shrek Academy, who made the move, intercepting the bombardment with his fourth soul skill.

Unfortunately, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy's expertise in soul tools far exceeded Shrek Academy's expectations.

As the first wave of light spheres shot out, a second wave of numerous long-range soul tools also began to unleash their power. Many Shrek Academy students had never even seen before—lights, light spheres, and projectiles—instantly rose into the air, surging in like a tidal wave.

Especially Xiao Hongchen, who couldn't wait to release his martial spirit after the first round of bombardment.

With a flash of golden light, another leg emerged from his buttocks, this leg being entirely golden. At the same time, a dazzling golden layer covered his entire body.

Xiao Hongchen, with three legs, crouched slightly, his three spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and one black—shining brightly. Golden protrusions emerged from his slightly hunched back, emitting a soft golden glow. His first and third spirit rings lit up simultaneously, and then he waved his hands, scattering at least a hundred metal balls.

These metal spheres instantly floated in mid-air, completely enveloping him.

A bizarre scene unfolded the next instant: thick metal cannon barrels grew out from the metal spheres.

Yes, that feeling was growth. These metal cannons were created entirely from nothing, not released by Xiao Hongchen. In the blink of an eye, he transformed into something resembling a giant metal hedgehog.

The number of soul-guided cannons on Xiao Hongchen's body was 128, and they were all composed of level 5 soul-guided devices.

Amidst the clanging of metal, all the cannons automatically calibrated and pointed at the Shrek team members. The soul-guided cannons behind Xiao Hongchen even bent and turned forward on their own. This could no longer be described as soul-guided device control.

The next instant, a terrifying storm of soul power erupted.

Shrek Academy also launched a counterattack, such as He Caitou's super-energy soul-guided cannon and the faint firepower of the others.

However, under the combined attack of Xiao Hongchen's 128 soul-guided cannons, He Caitou's super-energy-concentrating soul-guided cannon and other scattered soul-guided rays were instantly disintegrated by that terrifying light.

With only a slight attempt to block, those terrifying beams of light bombarded us.

Ling Luochen's face stiffened, and he could only do his best to release ice walls in front of him using his ice staff.

But this meager resistance was utterly crushed by the powerful bombardment.

Original text ①: In the waiting area below the stage, Huo Yuhao lowered his head, his eyes flashing with golden light, but quickly returned to normal.

If it were just relying on Xu Sanshi's Xuanming Replacement, it would be impossible to control it so precisely. However, when Xu Sanshi's Xuanming Replacement was guided by Huo Yuhao's mental detection, everything changed.

I've gotten used to cheating, watch how I make it real! 「ψ(｀)ψ
