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

Chapter 373 435 436 — Shrek Academy Suffers a Crushing Defeat, Getting Eliminated in the First Round!

"The match begins!" The referee swung his right hand down sharply.

Dai Huabin sprang out like a tiger unleashed from its cage, but unlike his previous fighting style, he didn't immediately release his amplifying soul power; instead, he only released his martial soul. Two yellow, two purple, and one black soul rings—the optimal ratio, five rings.

Such cultivation would be surprising to see in other teams, but it seems perfectly natural to see it in Dai Huabin, who is fighting for Shrek Academy.

"Only the Fifth Ring Road!?"

Qian Lingyu did not rush forward, nor did she use her most treasured Golden Dragon Spear. Instead, she walked forward as if taking a leisurely stroll.

One step, two steps…

Two purple, five black, and one red spirit rings slowly rose, causing all the contestants watching to change color.

Eight rings! Contra!

A Soul Douluo with super-limit Soul Ring level!

A Soul Douluo with a 100,000-year-old Soul Ring!

"Hey! Are you still going to fight or not?!" Qian Lingyu beckoned to Dai Huabin with a lazy expression, signaling him to make the first move.

If any other team encountered an opponent like this, they would probably surrender!

But Dai Huabin and his group had all suffered from Huo Yuhao's simulated soul skills before. Subconsciously, they thought Qian Lingyu's soul rings were a similar illusion, and then... tragedy struck...

"roar!"

With a roar like a tiger, Dai Huabin's forward momentum suddenly increased dramatically. His thick, powerful legs unleashed tremendous force, and the speed he displayed in that instant even left a blur behind him. The enormous tiger paw slammed straight towards Qian Lingyu.

Click!

Qian Lingyu caught Dai Huabin's outstretched hand with her bare hands. With just a little force, she could hear the cracking sound of bones breaking.

"Please, you're so weak!"

As she spoke, Qian Lingyu delivered a whip kick to Dai Huabin's abdomen.

A series of loud cracking sounds, like bones and internal organs shattering, rang out. Dai Huabin bled from all seven orifices and vomited mouthfuls of dark red fragments of his internal organs.

Not only that, but the broken ribs also easily pierced his internal organs and muscles, protruding from his chest.

Just as the referee was about to intervene to save the person, he remembered that he was only a Soul Saint.

In Contra, if someone's attacking, it's best not to go in and get yourself killed...

"Hey! Stop pretending to be dead! I didn't even use any force, and you're already done for?!"

Qian Lingyu casually tossed the half-dead Dai Huabin to the ground, waved helplessly towards the podium, and shouted loudly:

"I didn't even use any force, how could he die so suddenly! It's not my fault! Who would have thought he was so weak!"

The entire room fell silent…

"Hey! Stop acting cute! You jerk!" Qian Lingyun sat on the platform, on the verge of tears, looking at Qian Lingyu's innocent little expression, feeling a wave of madness in her heart.

Although... well, the point is valid! He died in one move, so he can't blame anyone else!

Dai Huabin's sudden death left the entire audience speechless!

Shrek Academy's first opponent was not the unknown Kara, but a super genius who was already a Soul Douluo at less than twenty years old!

Of course, the referee had the ugliest expression. You said Qian Lingyu violated the rules and killed him!

She really didn't do it on purpose.

You say she didn't break the rules... but then she kicked someone to death in the very first match...

If any other team had done this, he would have gritted his teeth and been sent off with a red card, which would have been understandable.

But this lady is a noble concubine of their Sun Moon Empire! If he makes the wrong decision, it won't just be a scolding!

"Referee! This is intentional homicide!"

On Shrek Academy's side, the teacher leading the team stormed down from the stands, pointing at Qian Lingyu and roaring angrily, "We at Shrek Academy demand that she be disqualified from the competition!"

"Sorry! This reason is unreasonable, we reject it!" Qian Lingyun, her belly protruding, stood up from the sofa, chuckled three times into the loudspeaker, and then said contemptuously:

"Change the referee. The match will resume in five minutes!"

After speaking, Qian Lingyu gave a wink to a level nine soul master behind her. The old man was taken aback at first, then nodded obediently.

Just as the Shrek Academy members' faces turned extremely grim, a figure descended from the sky.

It was an elderly man dressed in a blue robe, who landed right next to the referee: "Elder Zheng..."

The old man turned around and kicked the referee off the stage in a bad mood.

"I am Zheng Zhan, the Chief Referee of this competition. Shrek Team, please take the body away. The match will begin in five minutes!"

"Chief Judge Zheng, we need a law." A cold voice came from behind the Shrek team; it was Xian Lin'er.

"What explanation do you want?" Zheng Zhan looked at the woman in front of him, his face pale. With his eyesight, he could naturally tell that this woman's strength far surpassed his.

But when questioned in public, he naturally couldn't afford to be submissive and lose the composure of a judge.

"Old hag, so what if you couldn't control your power during the competition? But that guy who just died! Was he an idiot or blind? He tried to send the five rings flying into my eight-ring face! Is this the kind of brainless, idiotic, good-for-nothing morons that Shrek Academy produces every day?"

Just as Zheng Zhan and Xian Lin'er were about to clash, Qian Lingyu walked angrily to the edge of the arena, put her hands on her hips, and whispered:

"What, you don't think you can beat me just because you saw I'm a Contra player, and that's why you're demanding an explanation?!"

"If you're so capable, you can kill me! If I even flinch, I'm no longer the Imperial Concubine of the Sun Moon Empire!"

Imperial Concubine?

"Go back," Xian Lin'er said through gritted teeth, her face stiffening. She didn't pursue the matter further. This was the Sun and Moon Empire. Even if it weren't the Sun and Moon Empire...

On this field, everything can only be resolved during the game.

During the five-minute break, the Shrek team members all looked increasingly grim.

Although Dai Huabin's personality isn't very likable, the fact that he can be the captain shows that he is currently the strongest in the Shrek team.

But just now, he was kicked to death by his opponent. Is there any point in continuing this game when it's a death trap?

Admittedly, they longed to fight for Shrek's glory, but... against an opponent they could never defeat... alas!

Five minutes passed in the blink of an eye. Qian Lingyu did not leave the stage, but lazily paced back and forth on the field with the Golden Dragon Spear in her arms.

Zheng Zhan said in a deep voice, "Let's exchange names."

"Shrek Academy, Zhou Sichen."

"Holy Soul Hall, Qian Lingyu."

Zheng Zhan said in a deep voice, "Both sides step back. Prepare for the match. During the match, obey my orders. If anyone dares to attack after I announce the result, then I have the right to determine their guilt."

No one dared to ignore the threat posed by a level nine Soul Master, and even Qian Lingyu nodded obediently.

After agreeing, the two retreated towards the edge of the competition platform.

Upon arriving at his position, Zhou Sichen immediately released his martial spirit. The thick tome hovered in mid-air.

Two yellow and two purple soul rings pulsated around the tome.

It must be said that this was an extremely lopsided battle, with one side having eight rings and the other having four.

The difference of twice the number of spirit rings resulted in an unbelievable gap.

Zhou Sichen quickly retreated, his hand already open to reveal the treasure book, and his first soul ring lit up.

A yellow light suddenly appeared, floating down from the book to the ground in front of him, and a giant bear fiercely blocked Qian Lingyu's path.

It was Zhou Sichen's first soul skill, summoning the Earth Bear.

"A bear?!" Qian Lingyu's body was still rushing forward. After the earth bear appeared, its two broad bear paws immediately rose up and then slammed down heavily.

Zhou Sichen knew very well that with the agility of a Soul Douluo, and considering that Earth Bear was only his first Soul Skill, it was impossible for it to hit.

What he wanted was to slow down the opponent's progress as much as possible, and after depleting some of the opponent's soul power, decisively admit defeat.

The Earth Bear slammed its paws onto the ground, creating a deafening roar and sending powerful earthquake waves toward Qian Lingyu.

Just before its paws slammed down on the ground again, the bear flew away!

Qian Lingyu used her strange-looking spear to block the bear's paw, preventing the giant bear's second paw from hitting the ground.

"The power is there, but the speed is a bit lacking!"

Qian Lingyu chuckled, pushed off the ground with her right leg, and lightly kicked the gun barrel with the toe of her left foot, using a unique way of exerting force to shake the bear paw that was slapping down back.

In the struggle, the giant bear leaned back and took several steps backward. Before it could regain its footing, Qian Lingyu had already swung a powerful uppercut at it.

The ensuing fight was quite brutal…

Qian Lingyu grabbed the bear's tongue and swung it around her head like a meteor hammer.

The horrifying scene made Zhou Sichen break out in a cold sweat. He looked at the rest area, and his sense of despair grew stronger.

Can anyone tell him how to fight this kind of opponent?

Although he felt a surge of dread, he didn't stop what he was doing.

His first, second, third, and fourth spirit rings also shone alternately.

The three soul skills—Summon Earth Bear, Flame Tiger, Thorn Forest, and Nether Serpent—were released almost in the same order.

Zhou Sichen's summoning-type soul skill also has its own problems, namely that a soul skill can only be released once at a time.

Like the Earth Bear, only one can exist at a time, and it cannot be summoned indefinitely.

Only after death can it be released again.

The Earth Bear was summoned again, and the corpse in Qian Lingyu's hand quickly disappeared without a trace.

With a roar, the Flame Tiger unleashed a massive fireball from its mouth, which hurtled towards Qian Lingyu.

"Hmm, you're more interesting than the last one! But still not good enough!" Qian Lingyu nodded slightly and walked forward quickly with a chilling smile.

Whoosh!

A huge fireball was hurtling straight toward Qian Lingyu's face.

Click!

Raising her hand, Qian Lingyu used her left hand, which was not holding a gun, to block the incoming fireball with her bare hands, only using a little force with her five fingers.

She crushed the enormous fireball in her palm.

Boo!

Sparks from the fireball as it exploded grazed her cheek, and the surging air currents lifted Qian Lingyu's long, golden hair high into the air.

In a daze, Zhou Sichen vaguely saw her great-grandfather waving at her.

"I give up!"

Zhou Sichen said subconsciously, and Zheng Zhan also stepped in front of him at the right time, blocking a golden spear that flew out for him.

Zheng Zhan gripped the gun barrel, frowned, and thought to himself, "What a formidable momentum!"

呲—

Under the immense force contained within the spear, Zheng Zhan forced his soul power into his palm, forcibly suppressing the golden spear.

Even so, he had to take several steps back on the field before he was able to completely dissipate the force contained in the gun with Qian Lingyu's help.

Xian Lin'er glanced at the student beside her, pointed with her right hand, and said, "You go first."

The third person she sent out was Zhu Lu.

Unfortunately, the two sides only used one move to exchange blows before Zhu Lu was sent flying by the Golden Dragon Spear.

Three to zero!

At this point in the game, there's really not much left to play!

Xian Lin'er casually pointed and chose the elder of the Lan sisters, Lan Susu.

Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo are both Soul Masters. They are both control-type battle soul masters, and their martial souls are their hair.

But the most important reason why these two sisters were selected for the reserve team is their Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

In a one-on-one fight, how could they possibly be a match for Qian Lingyu?

As expected, the two sisters took to the field one after the other under Xian Lin'er's command, and were both defeated by Qian Lingyu.

Five to zero, the Holy Soul Hall has already secured five points.

"You go." The fifth person Xian Lin'er pointed to was Xie Huan Yue.

Compared to the Lan sisters, Xie Huan Yue's individual combat strength is much stronger.

But the result was still incredibly cringeworthy.

This is much stronger... It's roughly equivalent to taking one more hit than his teammate. Dai Huabin took two hits and died, while he is still struggling to survive!

This makes one marvel at the formidable survivability of defensive-type Soul Masters!

The sixth to appear was Ning Tian. Before the match began, Qian Lingyun hurriedly sent someone to pass a note to Qian Lingyu: "It doesn't matter whether the others are killed or not, but Ning Tian absolutely cannot be killed! She still owes me a lot of money!"

Thus, with Qian Lingyu deliberately holding back, Ning Tian actually managed to stay on the field for a full half minute thanks to his soul tool.

Half a minute passed before Qian Lingyu used only two soul skills, and Zheng Zhan went down to rescue her.

Ning Tian was defeated.

On Shrek's side, everyone's expression was quite grim.

Since the start of the competition, they have lost six games, while the opponent has only fielded one player.

That terrifying strength caused everyone present to turn pale in fear.

The seventh to take the stage was Wu Feng. Her performance was even worse than Dai Huabin's. Qian Lingyu only used a little bit of the Golden Dragon's pressure, which made Wu Feng lose all will to fight.

7-0!

The moment Wu Feng was defeated, the people of the Sun and Moon Empire erupted in cheers as loud as a collapsing mountain or a tsunami.

"Silence. The match is over. Holy Soul Hall versus Shrek Academy, Holy Soul Hall wins, accumulating a perfect score of twelve points. Both teams leave the field."

Qian Lingyu is the first woman in this competition to achieve a seven-game winning streak in the individual competition.

Moreover, her opponent was no nobody, but Shrek Academy, renowned as the number one academy on the continent.

For many years, the Sun Moon Empire had taken pride in defeating Shrek Academy. At this moment, in the eyes of the people of the Sun Moon Empire, Qian Lingyu was practically a Valkyrie.

In the rest area of ​​Shrek Tang Sect, everyone's face was extremely gloomy.

As members of the Shrek Seven Devils who came from Shrek Academy, they watched helplessly as Shrek Academy was eliminated in the first round. The sense of defeat they felt was unparalleled.

However, Qian Lingyu's formidable strength on the field left them helpless even if they wanted revenge.

Because... from kicking Dai Huabin to death to forcing Wu Feng back with a single palm strike, Qian Lingyu only used two soul skills on the field.
