Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 357 The Flame Demon Has Descended (8K)

Xiao Hongchen stroked his chin: "Are the Star Luo National Academy team idiots? Equipping flying soul tools first and then activating their martial souls, it's no wonder they get caught and defeated. Equipping flying soul tools takes less than half a second, why bother equipping them at the beginning?"

Ma Rulong shook his head: "I understand what you mean, but don't forget that the flying soul guide device that the Star Luo team carries on their backs is a replica of the Speed-7 simple flight device that we phased out decades ago. It can't take off and hover instantly at all."

"If we release the martial soul first and then the flying soul tool, they might not have time to take off. Perhaps we can choose to have Xu Sanshi activate the Xuanming Replacement and then quickly equip the flying soul tool to hover outside the arena, but that won't work for Xingluo."

"Don't forget, our troops are now equipped with the standard Su-27 flight system, and our team members are equipped with the Su-57 high-speed flight system, which is more than five versions ahead of us."

Xiao Hongchen's tone remained disdainful: "Who told these self-righteous muscle-bound bastards to look down on soul tools? Don't they believe only Soul Saints are qualified to fly? Why don't they continue to be so closed-minded?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Rulong could only shrug, realizing that Xiao Hongchen hadn't said anything wrong.

If he remembered correctly, when the Sun Moon Empire's flying soul tools were first deployed on a large scale and appeared in the border areas, it caused a huge uproar within the three kingdoms. Many people criticized the Sun Moon Empire's individual flying soul tools for desecrating the sacredness of the fact that only Soul Saints and above could fly.

If the person who said this was a Soul Saint or someone with even higher cultivation, it would be understandable, as it could be considered protecting their own interests. However, when the Sun and Moon people inquired further, they discovered that most of the people who said this were not Soul Saints at all, and this group was actually the most agitated.

Xiao Hongchen's contempt for the three empires was indeed well-founded.

Although the Star Luo National Academy team, which had been missing for a long time, still had some powerful weapons to use, their current situation could be described as extremely precarious.

There is only one reason.

After Xu Sanshi replaced Xu Jiujiu, he relied on his own martial soul advantage and the soul guide shield he had prepared in advance to withstand the attack of the six enemies for a full ten seconds.

The Shrek Academy members watching from below the stage looked on with a hint of urgency as they saw Xu Sanshi being beaten so badly. Wang Yan even gestured to Xu Sanshi that he was done.

However, Xu Sanshi still had a wicked smile on his lips because he saw Jiang Nannan, whose eyes also held a hint of worry and tension.

"It's not just Beibei who has hidden cards up his sleeve!"

A near-mad roar erupted from Xu Sanshi's mouth. He slammed the Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield heavily onto the ground. A powerful black aura instantly spread from the shield, covering an area of ​​over ten square meters, like a giant protective shield pushing outwards.

During its launch, it also emitted a rumbling sound.

The powerful shockwave instantly pushed aside the Star Luo Academy members who were frantically focusing their fire on Xu Sanshi. The Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield in Xu Sanshi's hand suddenly shone brightly, and strange light twisted on the shield's surface, as if human muscles were writhing. Then the entire surface of the shield changed.

On the fine, thick tortoise shell, a dark green snake appeared. The snake's eyes were bright red. With its appearance, the originally black Xuanming Zhenguang Shield suddenly turned dark green.

A violent roar erupted within the area, like a massive explosion, and the Star Luo Academy Soul Master closest to Xu Sanshi was so shaken that he fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Wang Yan, standing below the stage, gaped and exclaimed, "This...this is..."

Beibei smiled slightly. This guy had been holding his breath ever since he saw that she had revealed her trump card.

This guy was probably looking at Jiang Nannan just now. I never expected that he could actually unleash his bloodline power like that. It's unbelievable.

On the competition stage, Xu Sanshi, whose martial spirit broke through the seal and released the Xuanwu, moved horizontally.

Having broken through the seal of his martial soul, Xu Sanshi himself had become somewhat different. He was now taller and more imposing, with a physique almost like that of an adult. His short hair faintly glowed with a green light, and his muscles bulged. Standing there, he resembled an insurmountable peak.

"Shrek's Xu Sanshi is here! Who dares to take a step forward!"

This loud shout, like a thunderclap, shook the hearts of everyone at Xingluo Academy.

The students of Xingluo Academy seemed to be stunned by the sound wave. Their movements froze, their eyes filled with fear and unease. Their eyes darted around in their terrified sockets, their legs trembling, and they dared not move forward.

How could a four-ring Soul Master unleash such terrifying power?

Seeing this, Wang Yan, standing below the stage, gaped and exclaimed, "This...this is..."

Bei Bei smiled slightly and said, "Although it's not the ultimate, it's better than the ultimate. Among the seven of us, if there's only one whose martial soul can compare to Junior Brother's ultimate martial soul, then it's San Shi."

"However, his martial soul is in a self-sealed state, and without a strong enough stimulus, he cannot break through the seal himself. Now, it seems he has succeeded. However, after this match, he will definitely be unable to participate in the next one. Before reaching the seventh ring, he will not be able to grasp the true essence of his own martial soul."

Beibei's eyes gleamed as she said, "This is the Xuanwu, a divine beast bloodline martial soul. Compared to Senior Sister Xiaotao's Evil Fire Phoenix martial soul, his divine beast bloodline is even purer. He is strongest in his awakened Xuanwu state. All his soul skills will be imprinted with the divine beast mark."

In stark contrast to the jubilation at Shrek Academy, the students of Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy stared blankly at the stage, even the usually arrogant Xiao Hongchen had his eyes wide open.

"No, this is impossible. How could someone possess a divine beast bloodline comparable to mine? Wasn't the divine beast bloodline supposed to have faded to almost nothing? If my martial soul hadn't mutated, I wouldn't be able to possess the aura of a divine beast. This... this is Xuanwu?"

The effects of the Xuanming Shock only completely disappeared at this moment. The Soul Master who had fallen to the ground was completely dizzy and could not even get up.

The next moment, Ma Xiaotao, who was poised to attack, had already rushed to the front. Blazing phoenix flames shot into the sky, her huge phoenix wings spread out, and she spat out a stream of phoenix fire towards the Soul King in front of her.

Xu Sanshi, a member of the preliminaries, has held on for so long, so she naturally can't give up the opportunity to attack that Xu Sanshi fought so hard for!

At this moment, Ma Xiaotao went all out, announcing her existence as the captain of the Shrek Academy's regular team in the most domineering way. The Flame Demon has arrived!
