Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 31 Nine Star Team

Thinking he had figured out the opponent's true level, Moro quickly released his first and second soul skills. His body rapidly expanded, and his speed even increased a bit. He charged into the Nine Stars team's formation, ready to unleash his divine power and slaughter everyone.

But at that moment, Mimi's purple millennium soul ring lit up from behind.

deprivation!

The purple light instantly fell on Moro, and Moro's expression changed drastically. He could feel that the amplification effect given to him by his own support Soul Master had disappeared.

Just then, the defeated and retreating Shiryu suddenly charged forward again, and the two clashed face to face once more.

This time, Zilong did not retreat as he had before. Instead, Moro panicked and attacked because of the disappearance of the amplification, and was knocked back three steps by a punch from Zilong.

be cheated!

Having been in the Soul Arena for so many years, Moro immediately understood that Zilong's easy defeat was an attempt to make him underestimate his opponent and lure him into a trap.

"Support me! Quickly!"

Moro let out a loud roar and quickly retreated to rejoin his teammates.

"Second Soul Skill, Phoenix Fire Line!"

Ikki's second soul skill is the same as Ma Hongjun's among the Shrek Seven Devils. Because it is not affected by the evil fire, Ikki's Fire Phoenix Martial Soul is a true ultimate fire, and the flames it spews out are several times stronger than Ma Hongjun's.

The raging flames formed an insurmountable wall of fire, separating Moro and his teammates on both sides.

Seeing this, Xiao Yu's lips curled into a triumphant smile. Just as the Moro team was able to obtain information on the Nine Star team, the Nine Star team could also see the Moro team's personnel information. Based on their information, Xiao Yu concluded that Captain Moro was the strongest member of the team and its soul pillar. As long as Moro was defeated, the Moro team would collapse on its own.

"Twenty seconds to defeat Moro!"

Although Ikki's flames are powerful, they cannot last forever. Therefore, the entire team must unite to defeat Moro before his teammates break through the wall of fire.

"Third Soul Skill, Lightning Shackles!"

As a control-type Soul Master who oversees the entire situation, Eden took the lead, unleashing his third Soul Skill, which used lightning with a paralyzing effect to firmly lock Moro in place.

"Third Soul Skill, Rising Dragon Strike!"

Zilong also went all out, and a beam of light transformed into a soaring dragon that roared out.

Seeing this, Moro also used his strongest third soul skill. The golden lion emitted a dazzling light and broke out of its cage.

The lion and the azure dragon collided with a thunderous roar, emitting intense light. After a fierce battle, the azure dragon ultimately prevailed and shattered the golden lion's illusory image.

Although Moro's soul power is nearly five levels higher than Zilong's, don't forget that team battles are not solo fights. Zilong has Miyimei's support behind him, while Moro's support has been forcefully stripped away by Miyimei. In addition, although Moro forcibly broke free from Eden's restraints with his third soul skill, the paralyzing effect of Eden's third soul skill will not disappear. Furthermore, Zilong's martial soul quality is superior to Moro's, so this result is not too surprising.

Just then, the power of the flames Ikki spewed out weakened, and Moro's massive body flew backward through the wall of fire, landing right in the center of his teammates.

Seeing their captain had fainted, the remaining members of the Moro team panicked. Moro was their leader and backbone; without him, they had no idea what to do.

"Surrender!"

Looking at the Moro team members who had lost their fighting spirit and whose eyes were devoid of light, Xiao Yu said calmly, "Without your captain, your team's strength has been weakened by at least half. It's pointless for just a few of you to fight us. There's no need to add to the casualties. Quickly find a healing-type Soul Master to treat your captain. Although we held back, we can't guarantee that he won't suffer any aftereffects if he stays unconscious like this!"

"I...I surrender!"

The group looked at Xiao Yu, their hearts filled with resentment, but they had to admit that Xiao Yu was telling the truth. In the end, the vice-captain raised his hand to announce their surrender.

"Team spirit prevails, Nine Stars team wins."

After hearing the Moro team announce their surrender, the host immediately announced the result.

"Nine Stars Team! Nine Stars Team!"

When the Nine Stars team used an extremely clever strategy to instantly defeat Moro, who was quite famous in the Soul Arena, and forced Moro to surrender in less than a minute, the audience erupted in cheers.

Xiao Yu and the others remained unfazed. Amidst the cheers of the audience, they stepped off the Soul Arena, returned to the registration desk to collect their points, and then left the Grand Soul Arena. Their primary purpose in coming here was to train and hone their teamwork, not to please the audience.

In the days that followed, the Nine Stars team emerged like a superstar, defeating many strong teams in the Soul Arena with overwhelming force. With a winning streak, they quickly climbed to the top of the Soul Arena leaderboard and became a star team in the eyes of the Soul City audience.

In order to stop the Nine Stars Team's winning streak, the Soul Arena urgently requested assistance from the Soul Arena headquarters.

Now, as long as the audience knows that the Nine Stars team is going to fight, they will bet on them without hesitation. Even though the Hill Arena has lowered the odds for the Nine Stars team to the lowest level, there are still too many people betting on them. The trickle eventually gathers into a vast ocean.

Although the Soul Arena headquarters also spent a lot of money to bring in many strong teams at the Soul Master level from Soul Arenas in various places, no matter what kind of team they were, they could not stop the Nine Star Team from advancing.

The Soul Arena has a history of over a thousand years in the Douluo Continent and has its own rules. At least on the surface, they would not break their rules that have remained unchanged for thousands of years for the sake of a nine-star team.

Privately, the Soul Arena had considered contacting the Nine Star Team to ask them to do the Soul Arena a favor, perhaps by throwing a match.

However, when the person in charge of the Soul Arena saw the eight spirit rings on Huihuo, who represented the Nine Stars Team, he wisely shut his mouth.

However, businessmen are businessmen. Although the Soul Arena can't target the Nine Star Team, it doesn't mean they can't take advantage of the Nine Star Team's immense popularity. For example, they could arrange for the Nine Star Team to compete on the Central Soul Arena and increase the ticket price there; or they could sell fan-made costumes and masks featuring the Nine Star Team.

Seven or eight months passed in this way, and the Nine Stars Team, which had shone brightly in the Battle Arena, suddenly disappeared. Their fans found that they had not seen them in the Battle Arena for half a month.

This brought a sigh of relief to the Siel Arena. Although they had tried many ways to make up for the losses, the number of people betting on the Nine Stars Team was increasing day by day, and they could barely manage to break even. The sudden silence of the Nine Stars Team made them secretly delighted.

The reason why the Nine Stars Team did not participate in the Soul Battle is actually quite simple: Xiao Yu is level 40!
