Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 665 The Power of the Soul System (6K)

"The match begins!"

With Zheng Zhan's loud shout, the battle for the quarterfinals, which was crucial to whether the Soul Hall could advance with a perfect record and whether the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy would even fail to make it into the top eight, began!

The sixth spirit ring beneath Nana's feet flew out in an instant, transforming into a giant wolf that roared angrily to the sky.

On the other side, Qiu Yi roared and clasped his hands together in front of him, and a giant round shield appeared in his grasp.

The shield is entirely silver-white, perfectly round and convex. The patterns on the shield emit a soft fluctuation of soul power, and in the very center is a silver-white gem the size of an adult's two fists clasped together.

The moment the shield appeared, with Qiu Yi's soul power infused into it, a silver light emanated from the central gem, covering the entire shield. That silver light actually enveloped him.

Then you can see a ring of ice-blue light extending from Qiu Yi's feet, spreading outwards to the entire arena.

Nana nimbly flipped onto the wolf, and without hesitation, aimed her soul-guided ray gun at Qiu Yi and fired a shot.

Golden rays shot out, and Qiu Yi shouted as he thrust his shield forward.

With a loud "clang," Nana's soul-guided ray struck the shield, scattering starlight. Qiu Yi, who was so muscular and always known for his strength, couldn't help but take a half step back, and the shield in his hand rippled with strong silver light.

It should be noted that although Qiu Yi is only a five-ring Soul King and a level five Soul Master, the shield in his hand is a level six Soul Tool, and among level six defensive Soul Tools, it is absolutely top-notch.

This shield is a foot thick and weighs a thousand pounds. It is a special shield that only a very few Soul Masters can use.

But facing this old rival who used to be helpless against him, Qiu Yi actually took a slight step back, which shows how formidable Nana's strength is.

Former teammates have become rivals. Although Qiu Yi's expression was complicated, he remained focused.

Nana sat atop the giant wolf, her wheat-colored skin fitting perfectly. Her long, slender legs were tightly wrapped around the wolf's belly, making her look like a wolf rider who had stepped out of the wasteland.

"They're about to go!"

Nana let out a delicate shout, and a fiery red light instantly flashed from her body. It was a short knife, which looked to be only about 1.2 feet long. The hilt was hidden from view as she held it, but the blade was quite peculiar.

Unlike ordinary short knives that emphasize dexterity, Nana's short knife is as wide as a palm, with a very short and thick blade, engraved with ornate patterns, making it impossible to tell what material it is made of.

The blade itself was dark red, but at this moment its surface was radiating a crimson light, and the two-foot-long blade aura flickered erratically, like a ball of raging flame ready to devour its prey.

That wasn't all. Immediately afterward, another cyan dagger appeared in Nana's hand. Holding one dagger in each hand, Nana then tapped the hilts of the two daggers together. With a "click," the metal mechanism clicked shut, and the two daggers in Nana's hands merged into one double-headed dagger.

With her firm, strong, smooth, wheat-colored thighs clamping down on the wolf's belly, the Netherworld Giant Wolf charged fiercely towards Qiu Yi. Nana's upper body stood straight, her hands flying, performing a dazzling display of skill with her staff.

It wasn't just Ji Juechen, the sword fanatic, who fought against the undead knights in the undead demiplane, and Jing Ziyan, who stayed with Ji Juechen until the end of time, but also Nana, the researcher who was tired of research and needed to relax, and the Minister of Internal Affairs.

Unlike Ji Juechen's battles, Nana trained her own mounted combat skills. After a crash course with a type of undead knight, Nana's mounted combat level was in no way inferior to some elite soldiers who had fought on horseback for several years.

At this moment, many knowledgeable spectators were impressed by Nana's heroic figure as she charged forward on the Ghost Wolf. They could all tell that she had real skills.

"Awooo————————"

The giant wolf leaped up suddenly, letting out a long howl, and pounced on Qiu Yi, who was standing in front of him with his shield raised. It opened its blood-red maw and tried to bite Qiu Yi, but the next moment it transformed into a phantom and reappeared behind Qiu Yi with Nana.

Such a dreamlike scene drew gasps from the audience. A giant wolf over three meters long pouncing on a Soul Master was a rare and thrilling sight.

Now, a beautiful wolf knight, wielding a staff, lunged at a Soul Master, only to vanish in an instant and reappear behind the Soul Master. The foreseeable scene that followed even made many timid viewers close their eyes.

But Qiu Yi was Nana's old teammate after all, so how could he not know Nana's abilities? He suddenly spun the large shield in his hand.

"Clang! Clang!"

Two crisp sounds rang out as the fire blade and wind blade aimed at Qiu Yi were completely blocked by Qiu Yi's large shield, and Qiu Yi was forced to take two steps back.

Using the immense momentum from the charge of the Netherworld Giant Wolf, the double-headed blade struck Qiu Yi's large shield. Although it was deflected, it left two grotesque cracks on the shield.

Qiu Yi couldn't help but feel secretly alarmed.

His old teammate, who used to rely solely on his flexibility to defeat his enemies and had no way to deal with him, now possessed destructive power comparable to that of a typical Soul Emperor-level offensive Soul Master, thanks to the help of this Netherworld Giant Wolf.

Moreover, they are even more agile and unpredictable than them.

Just as Qiu Yi was alarmed, the Netherworld Giant Wolf beneath Nana finally revealed the most valuable aspect of the Soul Spirit System.

"Awooo——————"

This time, the wolf howl was long and drawn out, and at the same time it carried a violent mental impact. Qiu Yi suddenly covered his head and realized that this Netherworld Giant Wolf could actually fight independently of Nana!

The next moment, Nana lightly stepped off the back of the Netherworld Giant Wolf, her figure swaying and spinning in mid-air like a falling leaf. She brandished her double-headed sword, creating a whirlwind of wind and fire, and slashed towards Qiu Yi.

Qiu Yi, suppressing the chaos in his mind, suddenly raised the large shield in his hand, barely managing to block Nana's attack.

However, the giant wolf's attack had already begun. Its sharp claws suddenly swept across the floor of the fighting arena, taking advantage of the moment when Qiu Yi raised his large shield, and aimed at his lower body.

"Whoosh!"

The next moment, blood splattered. The two-on-one battle brought by the Soul Spirit system, although it consumed a lot of soul power, would definitely leave ordinary soul masters at a loss!

"I'll be on in the next match."

Seeing Meng Hongchen's weak and unstable breathing due to the continuous release of poison, Xiao Hongchen suddenly stood up.

The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy's points are currently in a precarious position. Whether they can enter the top eight depends entirely on this match. Therefore, even if it means risking having their trump cards revealed, they must first secure the points from the individual competition.
