Douluo Dragon King: My Strategy System Is a Bit Off

Chapter 34 Setting off Fireworks

The arrogant Xu Xiaoyu didn't take Lin Ci and the other six seriously at all, since they all looked like young children.

With his level 30+ soul power, he could easily dominate the beginner-level Spirit Ascension Platform, let alone be afraid of these kids.

Most importantly, he's had a really rough time lately. He was already troubled by his cultivation problems, and then he was tricked by that fishmonger a while back. The academy even gave him a warning for it.

He was initially furious and prepared to use the Xu family's power to teach this guy a lesson. But later he found out that the guy was in Class Zero of the first year, and his sister would also be entering Class Zero next semester.

Because of this, his father gave him a severe scolding, implying that he had almost ruined his sister's chance to enter Class Zero.

So all the anger he'd been holding in for a semester had finally accumulated. Now, at the Ascension Platform during the riot period, he finally had a place to vent his frustration.

He had already sent several Soul Masters to participate in the Spirit Ascension Platform during the riot period. Now that he had encountered these younger ones, he naturally wouldn't hold back.

Xu Xiaoyu curled a cruel smile at the corner of her mouth, her eyes full of disdain, and walked step by step toward Lin Ci and the other six, each step carrying the oppressive feeling brought by her powerful soul force.

His soul power of over level 30 gave him enough confidence that he was not afraid of even six people in front of him.

"You bunch of little brats dare to come to the Spirit Ascension Platform during this riotous period? Today I'll show you what the dangers of society are!" Xu Xiaoyu said viciously, releasing her soul power instantly, as if the surrounding air had been frozen.

"I'll do it." Gu Yue was about to make a move, but was stopped.

Lin Ci patted her arm and then said, "Leave it to me, I know this guy."

A smile appeared on his face, but Gu Yue's expression turned somewhat strange when she saw it.

When Lin Ci shows this expression, it definitely means someone is about to be in trouble. It's been like this every time they have a real match this semester.

Lin Ci stepped forward, facing the oppressive soul power released by Xu Xiaoyu, his seemingly harmless smile still on his face. He spoke slowly, his tone relaxed: "Senior Xu, long time no see."

"What do you mean, 'so long...'" Xu Xiaoyu narrowed her eyes, staring intently at Lin Ci, who had taken a few steps forward.

This face, combined with the voice from just now, he seemed so familiar.

Xu Xiaoyu seemed to finally remember something, and her face instantly turned cold. "You're the guy who sells grilled fish."

Lin Ci nodded slightly, not denying it, but took a few steps forward at a leisurely pace.

"So, it's been a long time."

A cold glint flashed in Xu Xiaoyu's eyes. "What a small world! I can't deal with you outside, but here at the Spirit Ascension Platform, you're completely at my mercy."

Outside, given Lin Ci's status as a member of Class Zero, there's not much he can do. But inside the Spirit Ascension Platform, it doesn't matter.

He could easily have taken decisive action and ended this guy's journey to the Spirit Ascension Platform ahead of schedule.

If they send him out too early, he'll have wasted a spot. He's sure Class Zero will punish him too.

Of course, this is just his imagination.

Xu Xiaoyu slammed his ice staff into the ground, and the entire staff flashed with blue light, instantly forming a blue ice wheel.

The icy wheel danced in the air, drawing a strange arc as it hurtled towards Lin Ci.

Lin Ci neither dodged nor avoided, but suddenly accelerated, heading straight towards the blue ice wheel.

Xu Xiaoyu's eyes were filled with disdain. His ice wheel attack was powerful and had a control effect. To clash head-on with him like this would be nothing short of suicide.

Just before Lin Ci was about to make contact with the ice wheel, his lightsaber instantly materialized, striking the very center of the ice wheel with pinpoint accuracy.

The ice wheel instantly disintegrated.

Lin Ci had been walking towards Xu Xiaoyu from the beginning, and he was also heading in that direction when Bing Lun attacked.

So now, it's clear that Lin Ci and Xu Xiaoyu are very close.

And in those few seconds while Xu Xiaoyu was still in shock, Lin Ci had already approached him.

The young man leaped high into the air, his lightsaber gleaming brightly. Beneath him, three spirit rings were clearly visible.

Three black spirit rings!

A ten-thousand-year-old soul ring!

The moment Xu Xiaoyu saw the three black spirit rings, her eyes widened in shock, and fear instantly replaced the surprise on her face.

A level 30 soul ring plus a ten-thousand-year soul ring—the implications of this combination are self-evident. This is definitely not something Xu Xiaoyu can provoke.

In fact, Lin Ci's three spirit rings are only a thousand years old. The ten-thousand-year spirit rings he is displaying now are just due to some tricks. It is actually just a visual effect. No matter what color it is, its essence is just the various colors of light. And by changing the light, changing the color is just a very simple thing.

When Lin Ci killed that evil spirit master yesterday, he changed the color of his spirit ring on purpose. A ten-thousand-year spirit ring is obviously more intimidating than a thousand-year one, and it can definitely produce some unexpected effects in battle.

As for why not just make it 100,000 years, a boy of this age with three thousand-year spirit rings is already a genius among geniuses. Having three ten-thousand-year spirit rings is almost impossible.

Not to mention 100,000 years, if they really did that, even Xu Xiaoyu would immediately sense that something was wrong.

After all, a 100,000-year spirit ring, just the pressure it generates when released is enough to suppress even spirit lords and great spirit masters. So, if it were to become a 100,000-year spirit ring, it would probably be exposed immediately.

At this moment, Xu Xiaoyu was clearly stunned by the ten-thousand-year soul ring. By the time he realized what was happening, it was too late to dodge Lin Ci's sword. He could only hold the blue ice staff horizontally in front of him, trying to block the attack.

Even though his Ice Staff Martial Soul was excellent, it was suddenly cut apart when it collided with Lin Ci's sword.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

He was originally a ranged control-type Soul Master, and now he couldn't exert any advantage in close combat. Lin Ci's sword strike with absolute power shattered his Martial Soul.

If a weapon spirit is directly shattered, the spirit master will suffer a strong backlash.

Therefore, Xu Xiaoyu was completely powerless to resist Lin Ci's next attack.

But Lin Ci did not use a sword.

His lightsaber had been put away long ago, and Xu Xiaoyu was met with a powerful punch.

This punch, imbued with Lin Ci's powerful soul force, slammed heavily into Xu Xiaoyu's chest like a cannonball.

Xu Xiaoyu felt an overwhelming force surge towards her, and she was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, rolling several times on the ground before coming to a stop.

He spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs, his eyes filled with terror and despair. At this moment, his Ice Staff Martial Soul was shattered, his soul power was in disarray, and his body suffered a severe backlash, leaving him without even the strength to get up.

"You...you actually dared to..." Xu Xiaoyu glared weakly at Lin Ci, her voice filled with resentment and anger.

Lin Ci smiled, just as Xu Xiaoyu had initially thought. This was the Spirit Ascension Platform; what they did here had nothing to do with the outside world.

Xu Xiaoyu is the same, as is Lin Ci.

However, Lin Ci didn't even bother to glance at him, simply turning away and leaving behind a single sentence.

"Good luck."

The next moment, Xu Xiaoyu's body suddenly swelled up.

His sister, the girl, hurriedly ran to her brother's side. But before she could make a move, Xu Xiaoyu's body swelled to its maximum size, like a human-faced demon spider.

The next moment, it shattered with a deafening roar.

It exploded right in front of the girl!

The little firework just didn't explode very big.

In fact, Lin Ci's move wasn't very threatening to Soul Masters. Low-level Soul Beasts didn't know how to properly plan, utilize, and manage the Soul Power within their bodies.

However, Soul Masters are different. They can sense the light element being injected into their bodies and can counteract it using the natural circulation of Soul Power within their bodies. Lin Ci's control over the Soul Power that enters her body weakens as a result.

This makes it even easier to neutralize. It can be said that half of the soul power Lin Ci used to control the light element can completely neutralize it.

But clearly, Xu Xiaoyu had lost that ability to offset it, so what awaited him was only…

boom!
