Douluo Continent: I got the Sharingan at the start!

He was thinking how wonderful it would be to defeat Xiao Hongchen in front of everyone.

Everyone supported Xiao Hongchen, but he was defeated by himself in the end. That feeling...

Thinking of this, Yu Tianlong couldn't help but smile.

While most people were cheering for their opponents, he smiled.

That smile looked rather eerie to Zheng Zhan, the Unbreakable Douluo, sending a chill down the spine of the referee.

We really don't understand the minds of young people these days!

"Both sides prepare."

Since there was only one match, and both sides' names had already been revealed, many routine procedures were naturally omitted.

Zheng Zhan spread his arms wide, pointing to both sides.

Xiao Hongchen turned and left, his face returning to normal.

Although the shouts moved him, they also significantly improved his mental state, and he quickly returned to normal.

In stark contrast to his composure, Yu Tianlong's eyes were filled with fervor, and a fierce fighting spirit was burning within him.

After giving Xiao Hongchen a deep look, Yu Tianlong suddenly turned around and strode towards his own half of the court.

A pale yellow, transparent soul-guided shield slowly rose, isolating it from everything outside.

The audience, who had been shouting loudly, fell silent.

Their team was about to engage in this battle. Everyone wanted to see every single detail. No one had time to continue shouting.

Step back to the edge of the playing platform, stand still, and turn around.

Xiao Hongchen's gaze sharpened in that instant, and before turning around, he glanced at Han Yu.

Han Yu seemed to sense his gaze, and despite the distance between them, she still gave him an encouraging look.

Xiao Hongchen turned around again and murmured, "I don't respect anyone but you."

No one heard him mutter to himself.

The next moment, an indescribable, terrifying battle intent, as imposing as a mountain, surged forth from Xiao Hongchen's body.

The moment this pressure appeared, the soul-guided shield of the entire arena brightened a bit.

Standing in the center of the arena, the Unbreakable Douluo was taken aback, his body almost involuntarily taking a step back. His eyes were filled with horror.

Could it be that Xiao Hongchen was hiding his strength in the previous matches?

Compared to Zheng Zhan, the one who was most surprised was naturally Yu Tianlong, who was the first to bear the brunt of this pressure.

In Yu Tianlong's eyes, Xiao Hongchen seemed to have instantly transformed into a roaring beast, and the terrifying pressure even caused his own martial spirit to tremble slightly.

The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex is also a top-tier martial soul, one of the pinnacle existences among dragon-type martial souls. Yet, it trembled when facing Xiao Hongchen. What does this mean?

There is a suppressive relationship between martial spirits. Simply put, the owner of a tiger-type martial spirit will have a clear advantage in terms of aura when facing martial spirits of horses, oxen, or sheep.

This situation is common in the world of Soul Masters, but it rarely occurs in such a major competition.

Because each team sends disciples with powerful martial spirits. The elites are selected from among these disciples. If one's martial spirit is ordinary, they simply cannot get here.

However, at this moment, Yu Tianlong felt that his martial soul was being suppressed, how could he not be alarmed?

What he didn't know was that although Xiao Hongchen's martial soul wasn't a dragon, it had the bloodline of a divine beast. In addition, Xiao Hongchen's cultivation level far exceeded his, which was why he was under so much pressure.

His initial belief in victory was suddenly shattered, and his expression turned serious.

"The match begins." Zheng Zhan was unwilling to continue under this immense pressure. He immediately waved his arm, signaling the official start of the one-on-one competition that would determine a spot in the finals.

Xiao Hongchen, who had been keeping his head slightly lowered, straightened up when he heard the words "the competition has begun," and a phantom image of a three-legged golden toad appeared behind him.

Two yellow, two purple, and three black—the cultivation level of a Soul Saint was on full display.

Xiao Hongchen displayed a powerful aura from the very beginning, causing his supporters to shout even more wildly.

Yu Tianlong did not rush forward. He took a deep breath, and his chest suddenly swelled up a bit.

A deafening roar of thunder erupted from his body, and blue-purple dragon scales began to grow from his right arm, rapidly spreading throughout his entire body. Soon, his body appeared to have grown larger.

Amidst the dazzling blue-purple light, six spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and two black—rose from beneath his feet.

The crackling electric light enveloped the competition stage on his side, casting a layer of blue-purple glow shimmering with electric energy.

The colors, gold and blue-purple, were both dazzling. The two sides hadn't even officially started fighting yet.

This further stirred the audience's emotions.

Xiao Hongchen suddenly spread his arms wide, raised his head and let out a long roar. A loud and clear howl burst from his mouth, and the distant sound shook the heavens and caused the surrounding soul guide shield to fluctuate violently.

A dense golden mist rose rapidly from his body, along with his seven spirit rings.

Ning Tian sat down next to Han Yu and whispered, "Xiao Hongchen seems a bit different today! His fighting spirit is so strong."

Han Yu nodded slightly; he too sensed that Xiao Hongchen was somewhat different at this moment.

He seems to have become even stronger. This isn't just reflected in his soul power, but also in the fusion of his spiritual power and soul power.

Yu Tianlong made the first move after all.

The terrifying aura emanating from Xiao Hongchen was so overwhelming that he couldn't remain still.

He was also afraid that Xiao Hongchen's aura would intensify, unleashing a thunderous attack that he wouldn't be able to withstand!

With a quick rub of his hands in front of him, a blue-purple lightning ball instantly took shape. Yu Tianlong took a big step forward with his left foot, making a throwing motion.

He held the lightning ball in his right hand, and in an instant, his three spirit rings—one, two, and three—shone brightly.

Thousands of bolts of lightning erupted from his body, all converging towards the lightning ball in his hand.

Yuan Gungun exclaimed in surprise, "Such strong lightning control ability. No wonder he's so confident."

It is important to know that lightning is the most violent and unstable of all elements, and controlling lightning is much more difficult than controlling other elements.

As the myriad bolts of lightning coalesced, the edge of the lightning ball in Yu Tianlong's hand also began to change color. The blue-purple hue grew increasingly deep.

A few seconds later, it turned black. A blackness that seemed capable of devouring everything.

The black sphere of light was surrounded by faint, dark purple electric light.

Even with the soul-guided shield blocking it, such powerful lightning fluctuations still gave people an extremely terrifying feeling.

To compress lightning into black—how much power must that require!

Yu Tianlong suddenly swung his raised arm forward, and the black lightning ball instantly transformed into a phantom light that shot towards Xiao Hongchen.

Xiao Hongchen's loud howl suddenly stopped, and his eyes had turned completely golden, with a faint golden halo even emanating from the corners of his eyes.

With a light touch of his toes on the ground, he shot off.

Facing the pitch-black lightning ball, it didn't even try to dodge, but charged straight at it.

The intense golden light emanating from his body quickly converged towards his right hand, and when his palm was raised, it was as dazzling as golden crystal.

"boom--"

How to block the lightning ball? Xiao Hongchen chose to use his fist.

It was his golden fist, a powerful golden fist.

"Everyone thinks I'm a Soul Master, but what you don't know is that I also have unique research on melee Soul Tools."

Xiao Hongchen thought to himself, after his defeat by Han Yu, he was determined to learn from his mistakes.

They plan to research all possible ways to defeat Han Yu.

The golden gauntlets in his hands represent one of his goals.

That's enough to make him go toe-to-toe with a melee Soul Master.

The deafening roar plunged the entire arena into darkness. The black lightning ball exploded instantly, its size increasing a hundredfold, transforming into a massive black electric net that enveloped Xiao Hongchen's body.

The pitch-black lightning seemed to tear Xiao Hongchen's body apart, terrifying and swirling, with dark purple snake-like lightning scattering and flying in all directions.

"Boom—" Another roar followed immediately!

The newly formed power grid was actually blasted open with a huge hole, and Xiao Hongchen touched the ground with his toes.

With the steel plate at its lower limit, he shot out like an arrow, charging straight towards Yu Tianlong with an indomitable momentum.

How could this be? Yu Tianlong's eyes were filled with shock. He never imagined that his Thunder Prison would be broken so quickly.

He had watched many of Xiao Hongchen's previous matches, and Lei Yu was a targeted tactic.

Xiao Hongchen's specialty is ranged attacks. The best way to defeat him is to entangle him and weaken him.

But his power is too great? He even managed to shatter the intensely compressed Thunder Prison.

Even though his body was still crackling with black lightning as he charged out.

But the electric sparks couldn't penetrate his golden aura at all.

Without time to think, Yu Tianlong moved as well. With a deafening dragon roar, his body swelled up again, reaching a height of over two and a half meters.

Its body was covered in thick, raised, bluish-purple scales with distinct edges.

With a raised right hand, a lightning dragon claw reached out towards Xiao Hongchen.

Xiao Hongchen also raised his right hand, and a golden light appeared in his palm.

It turned out to be a golden long spear soul tool.

He swung the spear horizontally, and the remaining black lightning on his body was immediately guided to the tip of the spear before being flung aside.

The previous lightning prison wasn't ineffective against him; rather, he rushed out regardless of the consequences.

By the time Yu Tianlong realized this, his Thunder Dragon Claw attack had already been shattered and disintegrated by Xiao Hongchen's golden spear. The two were finally about to clash head-on.

He pointed his spear forward and thrust it straight at Yu Tianlong's chest.

Yu Tianlong is also formidable; his specialty is close combat.

His right dragon claw reached directly at the golden spear, while he lowered his body and rammed forward with his shoulder.

Xiao Hongchen wasn't about to let him grab his dragon spear. He pulled the golden spear back, dragging it behind him. He even made a shoulder-sinking motion, colliding with Yu Tianlong shoulder to shoulder.

After Yu Tianlong's body swelled, he became as imposing as a mountain.

Although Xiao Hongchen was tall and slender, he still appeared quite short next to the bloated Xiao Hongchen.

Two disproportionately large bodies collided, causing Xiao Hongchen's fans to hold their breath.

Isn't this kind of head-on confrontation unwise?

But the next moment, deafening cheers erupted again.

Collision! Dragon scales against golden light. The golden light and the blue-purple dragon scales clashed violently, and Xiao Hongchen and Yu Tianlong had their close encounter.

Before Yu Tianlong could even see Xiao Hongchen's eyes clearly, he felt a terrifying force coming from him. He, who was always very confident in his strength, was actually knocked backward by the impact.

The massive body slammed violently into the soul-guiding shield not far away.

However, Xiao Hongchen did not completely gain the upper hand.

The lightning swirling around Yu Tianlong was extremely intense. Upon impact, his body was covered in large patches of blue-purple lightning, causing him to momentarily sluggish.

His strength is too great.

Yu Fulong was horrified.

He finally understood why so many powerful figures had been defeated by Xiao Hongchen.

Because Xiao Hongchen was not in his usual state at this moment.

He was always enveloped in golden light, and with the blessing of the light, his power was comparable to that of a power-type Soul Master.

In addition to his Soul Saint strength, Yu Tianlong, the Soul Emperor, was actually no match for Xiao Hongchen in terms of power.

However, losing in terms of strength does not mean losing the game.

As his body rebounded, Yu Tianlong spread his arms and roared to the sky.

His fourth spirit ring shone brightly.

Instantly, a massive blue-purple dragon head, two meters tall and almost completely detached from his body, hurtled towards Xiao Hongchen.

The dragon head is over five cubic meters in size.

Amidst the blue-purple lightning, the dragon's whiskers, eyes, and horns are all vividly depicted.

The fact that Yu Tianlong could use the Thunder Dragon Head to such an extent means that he is not far from reaching the seventh-ring Soul Saint level.

As Xiao Hongchen's body was briefly paralyzed, his first, second, and third spirit rings lit up simultaneously.

Countless metal cannons appeared around him, unleashing a barrage of attacks directly at Yu Tianlong.

Da da da!

A rhythmic roar sounded, and because of the very close distance, it easily hit Yu Tianlong.

Left with no other option, Yu Tianlong had to choose to defend.

Under the baptism of artillery fire, they fell into a disadvantageous position.

Yu Tianlong was suddenly surprised to see that Xiao Hongchen's pupils had suddenly turned into two thin lines, frog eyes!

Martial Soul True Form!

The true form of the three-legged golden toad's martial spirit.

The three-legged toad behind Xiao Hongchen emitted a terrifying croak, followed by a beam of red light flying out from Xiao Hongchen's hand.

To Yu Tianlong's horrified gaze, it shot directly into his body.

Immediately afterwards, Yu Tianlong felt his body stiffen as an incredibly hot energy spread throughout his body, making it difficult for him to move for a moment.

"it's over!"

Xiao Hongchen's lips curled up slightly, and then he hoisted a soul-guided cannon, which was larger than himself, onto his shoulder.

The shells had already been fired when he said those words.

"Referee, we concede!" (End of Chapter)
