Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 129 Both Sides Suffer Losses

"Fourth Soul Skill, White Tiger Meteor Shower!"

Dai Mubai let out a tiger's roar, and countless fist-sized golden orbs of light fell from the sky like falling meteorites, locking onto Io, who had transformed into a bat, and crashing down.

Io flapped its wings, weaving through the gaps in the meteor shower, dodging each of the light orbs that contained one-tenth of Dai Mubai's attack power.

"Don't even think about it. My White Tiger Meteor Shower has a lock-on function; they won't disappear until they hit their target!"

Dai Mubai smiled smugly, "I'm going to win this match!"

"That's not necessarily true!"

Io, now transformed into a bat, spoke in human language and shot out, heading straight for Dai Mubai.

"He's trying to take Boss Dai down with him! It seems he's aware of his own soul power level!"

From below the stage, Tang San sneered, "How foolish! Boss Dai's fourth soul skill targets him, not Boss Dai himself. He can't dodge it, but he's not Boss Dai, so he can't dodge!"

Flander smugly pushed up his glasses: "A death throes!"

As for Yu Xiaogang, he hadn't recovered from the blow he'd just suffered. He sat there with his head down, not glancing at the match once in a row. After all, Dai Mubai's victory was due to his own ability, and had nothing to do with Yu Xiaogang's guidance.

"First Soul Skill, Giant Serpent Constriction!"

Just then, a flash of yellow light appeared on Io's body as he flew at low altitude, and he transformed into a python several meters long. He was extremely fast and disappeared from the spot in an instant, leaving only a faint afterimage.

"Boss Dai, left."

Io was very fast, but Tang San, who possessed the Purple Demon Eye, still discovered his movements. Tang San almost subconsciously stood up to warn Dai Mubai.

Fortunately, Flander reacted quickly and covered Tang San's mouth.

Losing the match is one thing, but if Tang San violates the rules by giving a warning from the sidelines, then Shrek Academy can forget about ever participating in the Soul Master Competition again.

After being covered by Flander, Tang San realized what was happening and reluctantly sat back down in his seat.

The most distinctive feature of a python is its ability to coil. Once Dai Mubai is entangled by Yi Ao, who has transformed into a snake, the inevitable result will be that both of them will simultaneously suffer the attack of the White Tiger Meteor Shower.

This match will likely end in a lose-lose situation for both sides.

Just as Tang San had predicted, the situation on the arena unfolded as Io, in his serpent form, coiled around Dai Mubai's tiger body with lightning speed.

Dai Mubai brandished his tiger claws, trying his best to break free from Yi Ao. It wasn't that he couldn't break free; their soul power was about the same, and given time, he was sure he could break free.

The problem is that his own attack has a built-in lock-on function, leaving him very little time to react.

Just a few seconds after Yi Ao got entangled with Dai Mubai, the White Tiger Meteor Shower's attacks came one after another.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Countless meteors formed from condensed soul power struck the arena, sending large amounts of rubble and dust flying into the sky due to the powerful explosions, obscuring the view of others.

When the dust settled, the figures of the two finally appeared on the arena. One was barely able to stand, while the other had collapsed to the ground.

The person lying on the ground was Dai Mubai. His condition was even worse than Yi Ao's. He was covered in blood and had multiple broken bones. Because Yi Ao hid behind Dai Mubai at the last moment, most of the soul power attacks landed on him.

However, since the White Tiger Meteor Shower fell from the sky, even though Io hid behind Dai Mubai, he couldn't lift Dai Mubai above his head to block all the attacks in such a hurry. Io, who had taken some of the damage, was bleeding from many parts of his body, and his face was pale and extremely weak.

The referee stepped forward to check on the two contestants and immediately announced the result: "Dai Mubai is unconscious. Contestant Io wins. Shrek Academy, please send your next contestant to the stage."

"Referee, I concede!"

Just then, Io also raised his hand. He was well aware of his own situation; even if a powerful Soul Master came up now, he probably wouldn't be able to handle it.

The referee nodded; Io's conceding defeat was within his expectations.

As a referee, he needs to rescue contestants who may be in mortal danger at any time, so he himself is a powerful Soul Master. He could see Io's current situation at a glance, a typical example of someone who is at the end of their rope.

"Io of Nine Star Academy concedes defeat. Please send out your second team member!"

Shrek Academy and Nine Star Academy simultaneously sent people to help the unconscious Dai Mubai and the weakened Io away, and at the same time sent out their next team members.

Shrek Academy's next opponent is Tyrone, while Nine Star Academy sends out Evil Warrior.

"Another guy who's never shown up before!"

Upon seeing Xie Wu enter the arena, Flander, Tang San, and the others all frowned, feeling that things had completely deviated from their plans from yesterday.

As for Yu Xiaogang, he continued his ostrich-like approach, remaining completely silent at this moment.

"Talon, stick to our planned strategy!"

Even though he couldn't figure out his opponent, Tang San decided to stick to the original plan and shouted at Tai Long, who hadn't yet stepped onto the stage.

"Yes, young master!"

Under the earnest tutelage of the loyal servant Titan, Talon has now become Tang San's mindless sycophant, a true second Titan.

Moreover, Tyrone knew who the power behind Nine Star Academy was. Back then, Nine Star Palace attacked the Power Clan, severely injured his grandfather Titan, and looted the entire sect's wealth. Tyrone kept this hatred firmly in his heart.

tread!tread!tread!

Tailong deliberately stomped his feet heavily, as if to make himself more imposing, until he saw the information displayed on the large electronic screen behind Xiewu.

Xie Wu, Martial Soul Unicorn, Level 47 Agility-Attack Type Battle Soul Master!

Level 47!

Not only was Tyrone dumbfounded, but the students and teachers from various academies watching the battle were also in an uproar, and there was a lot of discussion about it.

"Just how strong is this Nine Star Academy? Fire Dance at level 46, Io at level 45, and Mei Yi at level 41, and now Evil Martial at level 47. Could there be a Soul King-level expert hidden in their lineup?!"

Knowing Huo Wu's identity, Shui Yue'er, a student from Tianshui Academy, said to her older sister, Shui Bing'er, "Sister, no wonder Huo Wu, with her fiery temper, doesn't stay at Blazing Fire Academy. The strength of Nine Star Academy is indeed far beyond our imagination. Perhaps even Divine Wind Academy, which has a Soul King, is no match for them. It seems that those freaks from the Spirit Hall have really met their match!"

Yu Tianxin, the captain of Thunder Academy, looked extremely grim. Although the conflict between the Nine Star Palace and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was deliberately concealed, as a direct descendant of the clan, Yu Tianxin knew everything.

As one of the most outstanding members of the younger generation of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, Yu Tianxin is ranked alongside Yu Tianheng and is known as one of the twin stars of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan. If there are no unexpected events, Yu Tianxin will be able to obtain at least one of the three soul bones that were extorted by the Nine Star Palace in the future.

Yu Tianxin had originally planned to teach the Nine Star Academy a lesson after encountering them in the qualifying rounds, to vent her anger. Now, however, she only hoped that the Nine Star Academy wouldn't still hold a grudge against the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus.
