The Strongest All-Round Support in Douluo Continent

At the same time, Ghost Douluo was the first Title Douluo to fall in this ten-minute battle. He transformed into a black shadow and quickly rushed to Chrysanthemum Douluo's side to provide support.

"Eighth Soul Skill, Hellish Wraith." After Ghost Douluo arrived to Chrysanthemum Douluo's side, he summoned a black shadow beneath the three of them. From the shadow, three pairs of huge black ghost hands reached out and grabbed the three of them.

"Dragon Body." The evil dragon indeed had many tricks up its sleeve, and it broke free from Ghost Douluo's claws in an instant.

At the same time, their ninth soul skill clashed with Chrysanthemum Douluo's soul skill, and all five of them took a step back.

Ghost Douluo immediately came to Chrysanthemum Douluo's side. After exchanging a glance, they stood back to back, and the nine spirit rings on their bodies appeared simultaneously.

"Soul Fusion Skill, Bipolar Stillness Domain." Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo completed their Soul Fusion Skill in no time. The range was small, but it was enough to restrict the movements of the Evil Dragon and the three Guardian Elders within it.

"Spatial stillness fusion technique, this is outrageous! A ghost and a flower, they don't seem to have any related attributes at all, how can they achieve a spirit fusion technique?" Evil Dragon felt unable to move, and seeing Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo surrounded by nine spirit rings, he was speechless.

"Ninth Soul Skill, Light of Evil." The Title Douluo support-type Soul Master, who was being protected, immediately realized something was wrong when he saw the situation of the Evil Dragon and the three guardian elders. He finally used his ninth soul skill, and three dark gray pillars emerged from the Evil Spirit Scepter and merged into the three of them.

"Soul Bone Skill, Berserk Power".

"The power of evil spirits."

"Shadow Power".

With the help of their support-type Soul Masters, the three of them managed to break free from the restrictions of Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo's Soul Fusion Skill, the Polar Stillness Domain. Instantly, the domains of Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo were torn into countless fragments.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo naturally separated, and both of them had some blood flowing from the corners of their mouths.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Holy Light Healing." Upon seeing this, Duan Yufan immediately treated the injuries of Elders Ju Gui and Elder Chrysanthemum, but the two were still a little out of breath.

The evil dragon and the guardian elder who broke free from the bipolar stillness were not faring well either; after breaking free, they had to take two steps back.

"Ninth Soul Skill, Divine and Demonic Slash." The three immediately saw the scene of the Sword Douluo slaying their two elder Title Douluos in a one-on-two battle.

"Ninth Soul Skill, Bone Transformation Dragon." We saw Bone Douluo severely injure a level 96 Title Douluo with his level 95 soul power.

"Ninth Soul Skill, Coiling Dragon Saves All Beings." Two Title Douluos also lost their lives at the hands of Thousand-Pound Douluo and Demon-Slaying Douluo.

At the same time, they also saw a white dragon tearing apart its own elder, and this white dragon was the martial spirit of the Third Elder.

Others also suffered considerable injuries. This battle, which he had underestimated, resulted in the deaths of eight Title Douluo, enraging the Evil Dragon. However, he also realized that his Holy Spirit Cult had fallen into a disadvantageous position.

"All elders, retreat! Retreat back to the city!" the evil dragon roared unwillingly, then rode his dragon toward Star Luo City.

"Trying to run? Take this! Ninth Soul Skill, Giant Crocodile Devouring the Sky!" Seeing the hint of retreat in Xie Feng's eyes, Elder Golden Crocodile immediately unleashed his ninth soul skill, hoping to capture this Holy Maiden of the Holy Spirit Cult.

"Old man, although I can't do anything to you, I can leave whenever I want. Fifth Soul Skill, Instant Thousand Miles." Xie Feng roared and used his soul skill. He was so fast that he instantly appeared a hundred meters away and was the first to return to Xingluo City.

Seeing this, Golden Crocodile Douluo had no choice but to withdraw. He could only watch the fleeing Evil Phoenix with a regretful look, as he had not yet fully unleashed his ninth soul skill.

"Everyone, stop chasing. It's not time for the final battle yet. Although we have the upper hand, the Evil Dragon and Evil Phoenix are not ordinary people. Taking their lives won't be so easy."

“Moreover, if we kill too many, they will immediately abandon the city and flee with their followers. At that time, it will be difficult to wipe them out in one fell swoop. Let them catch their breath first, and we have the Xuan Tian Gong, which can restore all our soul power in one night.” Bibi Dong said immediately when she saw the elders who still wanted to continue the pursuit.

"Your Holiness, alright." The group had no choice but to stop their pursuit, and they all stopped, panting slightly.

"Everyone has worked hard. Yue Guan, Gui Mei, clean up the battlefield. Let's go back to the camp first," Bibi Dong said again. Only then did everyone follow back to the camp, leaving Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo to collect the corpses of the Holy Spirit Cult.

The evil dragon and the evil phoenix fled back to the Star Luo Imperial Palace with their subordinate elders. The hall fell silent, and everyone wore a gloomy face, feeling a sense of shame.

"It's been so many years, and I never thought that besides the Sun Moon Empire, we would lose to another power. It's a great disgrace."

"Of course, this failure is also my fault. I underestimated the Spirit Hall, which prevented everyone from putting on their Soul Guidance Battle Armor in advance, and also left the eight elders outside the city." The veins on Xie Long's face bulged, and he slammed his fist hard on the table in front of him.

"Holy Son, Holy Daughter, this is also due to everyone's underestimation. I didn't expect the Spirit Hall to possess a Divine Martial Soul, and a God-level Martial Soul Support-type Soul Master at that. He managed to boost a level 97 Soul Master to level 98, and a level 96 Soul Master to level 97, while also doubling their own defense. He even healed them immediately when they were slightly injured. This support ability has no flaws. It's just that my support is inferior to this Holy Son of the Spirit Hall." The only Title Douluo Support-type Soul Master of the Holy Spirit Cult said somewhat dejectedly.

"Damn it, the opponents all possess rare and top-tier martial souls, and they are already extraordinary. With the assistance of a level 96 divine martial soul, each of them can surpass a level. Our biggest problem now is this kid," said the Holy Spirit Cult's elder in white robes.

A silence fell over the crowd again, their faces still grave. The loss of eight elders in the first clash had left Xie Long and the others looking rather embarrassed.

At this moment, a figure burst into the Star Luo Imperial Palace. Everyone looked up and saw that it was Soul Douluo, who had been sent by the Evil Dragon to inspect the sea ships at the seaside.

"Holy Son, Holy Daughter, something terrible has happened! Something terrible has happened!" The Soul Douluo shouted as he rushed into the Star Luo Imperial Palace.

"Holy Son, Holy Daughter, Elders, what's wrong with you all?" Soul Douluo asked immediately upon seeing the situation of Evil Dragon and the others.

"I already said it, so what?" the evil dragon said in a gloomy tone.

The Contra was startled by the evil dragon's tone, but still answered with a forced smile, "Holy Son, Holy Daughter, our naval fleet is finished. All three naval fleets have been destroyed."

"What? Who did this?" The evil dragon, who had finally regained some composure, flew into a rage once more.

"I don't know. By the time I arrived, the three warships were already engulfed in flames and it was too late to put out the fire."

"Trash, die!" The evil dragon's hand transformed into a dragon claw, instantly crushing the Soul Douluo.

"The Spirit Hall, what a Spirit Hall! They even had a backup plan, ruining our escape route."

"When will the teachers arrive?" Evil Dragon asked the person in charge of the soul tools.

"Your Highness, the Sect Master will take at least half a year to arrive. I was referring to the speed of a level seven soul-guided sea vessel," the soul master asked helplessly.

"Half a year, we have to wait. But whether we live to see it depends on the battle the day after tomorrow. Everyone should go back and recover their soul power as quickly as possible. I imagine their soul power has also been depleted. Now we can only race against time." Xie Long was somewhat helpless. What Xie Long didn't tell everyone was that he was most afraid of the Pope of the Spirit Hall, who had been hesitant to make a move.

In Xie Long's mind, the Pope of the Spirit Hall might just be a level 98 peak Douluo like himself. However, the composure of the Pope in the previous battle forced Xie Long to reassess his strength. This Pope, who had not made a move all along, might already be a level 99 Limit Douluo like his teacher, or even a demigod. Thinking of this, Xie Long's heart sank, and Xie Feng also noticed Xie Long's uncertain expression.

Chapter 222 Signs of the Final Offensive

Duan Yufan and the others returned to the temporary military camp at a leisurely pace, where Saint Dragon Douluo and Platinum Bishop Matthewton immediately came to greet them.

"Your Holiness, Your Highness, are you alright?"

"There are so many Title Douluos that I almost couldn't resist calling my soldiers to charge over."

"It's alright, everyone go about your business and let the elders get some rest. We just have a slight advantage," Bibi Dong said with a calm smile.

"Yes, yes, elders, you've worked hard. Please, the military camp is ready," said Holy Dragon Douluo.

"Xie Yue, we've become a burden. We're completely unable to help His Highness the Holy Son now." Yan and Xie Yue looked at Duan Yu Fan from a short distance away, feeling both sentimental and dejected.

"Sigh, there's nothing we can do. Xiao Fan's talent is just too good. All we can do now is help him solve some small problems and then work hard to cultivate so that he can become a Title Douluo as soon as possible." Xie Yue felt the same way as Yan.

"Watching them fight, I really wish I could help them. It's a pity that it took me two years to go from level 64 to level 69. I don't even have a Martial Soul True Body, and I can't even withstand the aftershocks of a Title Douluo's soul power."

"How about we go to Death Valley to continue training after this great battle is over? I always feel that Death Valley is not as simple as it seems, and there are still some parts we haven't explored yet."

"Alright, let's give it our all. Even if we train at the Spirit Hall every day, with our talent, it will probably take us another ten or even twenty years to reach the Title Douluo level."

Xie Yue and Yan immediately decided that they would go to Death Valley again after the Holy Spirit Cult was finished.

Not long after Duan Yufan and Bibi Dong returned to the military camp, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo entered the camp to report their gains to Bibi Dong.

"Yue Guan, Gui Mei, what did you find?" Bibi Dong asked when she saw that it was Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo who had entered.

"Your Holiness, we found a piece of armor among the soul tools of the eight deceased Title Douluos. When pieced together, it forms a humanoid armor, which is likely one of their soul tools. Unfortunately, Old Ghost and I can't figure out how to use it," Chrysanthemum Douluo said, placing a dozen or so pieces on the ground.

"Hmm, the material is quite hard. I wonder if it's a defensive soul tool. This kind of soul tool has never appeared on our continent. I don't know how to use it either, but I guess it's activated by soul power. Let's put it away and take it back for them to study." Bibi Dong was also unfamiliar with the soul tool and didn't know where to start.

"Teacher, I think there must be people in the Holy Spirit Cult who manufacture soul tools. Seeing that this soul tool is intact, it's likely that they were killed by us before they could even use it. Here's what I'm thinking: we've been slowly studying this reference for who knows how many years. Why not spare the lives of those who can repair and manufacture it, capture them, and hand them over to the Soul Tool Research Institute? That would be better than us blindly stumbling around like this." Duan Yu Fan, seeing that he didn't know where to start with this basic battle armor, had no choice but to suggest this to Bibi Dong.

"Well, it would be best if these Soul Masters could submit, but I'm afraid they'd rather die than give up," Bibi Dong nodded.

"Your Holiness, everyone has a set of these soul-guided armors. Judging from this, they will definitely wear them in the next battle. We must be careful," Chrysanthemum Douluo warned.

"That's right, Your Holiness the Pope. I just secretly went to a spot not far from the Star Luo City wall and discovered dozens of soul-guided cannons on the wall, as well as another soul-guided cannon that is even more exquisite than the original soul-guided cannons. In the middle of the wall, there is also a soul-guided device that is twice the size of the original soul-guided cannons," Ghost Douluo said with some solemnity.

“It seems Xingluo City is fully armed. No, we must act quickly. Before the soldiers attack the city, we must destroy these extremely powerful soul-guided cannons. Otherwise, if the losses are too heavy, even if we eventually conquer Xingluo City and win the competition, I will have no face to face the families of these soldiers.” Bibi Dong’s expression became somewhat solemn upon hearing Ghost Douluo’s introduction.

“We, the elders and titled Douluos, will make the first move. With our speed, even if the soul-guided cannons fire, we'll have time to react. If the soldiers rush in like this, they'll be too big of a target. So when we launch the general offensive tomorrow or the day after, we must first take care of these soul-guided cannons mounted on the city walls.” Duan Yu Fan agreed with Bibi Dong’s idea.

"Alright, Yue Guan, Gui Mei, you two should go and rest first. We'll discuss the soul power consumed in today's battle once all the elders have recovered," Bibi Dong said to the two of them, after having Chrysanthemum Douluo put away his soul tool armor.

After all, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo had also expended considerable energy, having used not only their ninth soul skill but also the most energy-consuming martial soul fusion skill. Therefore, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo did not stand on ceremony and returned to another military camp after bidding farewell to Duan Yufan and the other man.

"Xiao Fan, you should also recover the soul power you've consumed."

"Ah."

Duan Yufan found a spot, sat cross-legged, and began to recover his soul power. The outside gradually quieted down, with only soft whispers and the sound of soldiers patrolling.

At 3 PM, a small team of 100 people returned to the Spirit Hall. It was the same naval vessel that Bibi Dong had sent to the coast to destroy the Holy Spirit Cult, consisting of the Firebird Douluo and Flame Eagle Douluo sisters.

"The two elders are back. How did the mission go?" Saint Dragon Douluo asked as soon as he saw the two.

"Not bad. Where is His Holiness the Pope?" Firebird Douluo nodded.

"This morning, the Holy Spirit Cult, oblivious to their own mortality, came out of Star Luo City to provoke us. His Holiness the Pope and His Highness the Holy Son, along with the elders, repelled the Holy Spirit Cult's titled Douluo. They are currently in their military tents recovering their soul power. Only a little over an hour has passed, so they are probably still in meditation," Holy Dragon Douluo explained simply.

"Alright, we won't disturb Your Holiness the Pope any longer. We've been traveling all day, and I thought you were still stuck in the previous cities. We chased you all the way from Hulao Pass, but I didn't expect that you've already reached the outskirts of Xingluo City in just a few days." Firebird Douluo had no choice but to wait a while before disturbing Bibi Dong after hearing what Holy Dragon Douluo said.

"Elders, you've worked hard. You should rest and recuperate. The main problem is that the Holy Spirit Cult's defenses are too weak. We haven't encountered anything particularly difficult," Holy Dragon Douluo explained to Firebird Douluo.

"Alright, thank you for your continued patrol, Elder Holy Dragon." Firebird and Flamehawk then entered a women's military camp.

At 5 PM, Duan Yufan had spent four hours recovering his soul power, which was more than enough, so he stopped continuing to recover his soul power, since he still had one night left.

"Xiao Fan, you're awake. It seems Elders Firebird and Flame Eagle have returned, but seeing that you're recovering your soul power, I didn't call them." Bibi Dong smiled slightly as she saw that Duan Yu Fan had woken up and there was no one else in the military camp.

"Now that we've resolved our worries, let's see what different gains they've made." Duan Yufan walked out of the military camp, but not knowing which tent Firebird and Flamehawk were in, he had to call two soldiers to summon them.

Soon, Firebird Douluo and Flame Eagle Douluo arrived at Duan Yufan's military camp, called out, and entered at Bibi Dong's signal.

"Greetings, Your Holiness the Pope and Your Highness the Holy Son." Firebird Douluo and Flame Eagle Douluo stood together and first respectfully greeted Duan Yufan and Bibi Dong.

"Elders, there's no need for such formalities. So, have you spotted any of the Holy Spirit Cult's warships?" Duan Yufan spoke first.

"Your Holiness, Holy Son, we encountered three ships belonging to the Holy Spirit Cult, all over 100 meters long. A level 92 Title Douluo was guarding the three ships, along with more than a dozen Soul Douluos and Soul Saints. We arrived that day, but after discovering their strength, we had no choice but to wait until late at night to launch a sneak attack."

"I don't know if it was because he was too arrogant, but he destroyed everyone on the ship so easily that they didn't even have time to launch the soul-guided weapons mounted on the ship." Firebird Douluo immediately explained the situation of this operation.

"Have you found anything useful, such as soul tools or the use of naval vessels?" Bibi Dong didn't care about the number of casualties in the Holy Spirit Cult, but asked about soul tools.

"Your Holiness, I apologize. In order to completely destroy the sea vessel, my sister and I used our ninth soul skill, burning it to the ground and leaving only the wreckage. It should be malfunctioning now. However, we found the sea vessel's piloting and operating manual, as well as the sea vessel's component malfunction detection manual, in a secure storage cabinet. The manual contains records of various parts of the sea vessel, which should be useful, so we brought it back." Firebird Douluo took out three thick books, each about six centimeters thick, twelve centimeters long, and nine centimeters wide.

"Very good, thank you for your hard work, elders. It's better than nothing. This is a way of building a naval vessel. Now the Holy Spirit Cult has nowhere to escape and is isolated and helpless on this continent, unless they can swim back to their homeland." Bibi Dong couldn't help but sneer upon seeing this.

"Is there anything else? Let's go back and rest, Elders. We'll need you again for the final assault tomorrow," Bibi Dong said to Firebird Douluo and Flame Eagle Douluo after taking the three instruction manuals from the seaship.

“Your Holiness, there’s nothing else, but I think these three ships, which we destroyed by the two of us, should still be of research value to our Spirit Hall,” said Flame Eagle Douluo.

“Yes, I know. Once the matter of the Holy Spirit Cult is completely resolved, I will send people to study it. I must say, the arrival of the Holy Spirit Cult will allow the soul tools on our continent to develop rapidly.” Bibi Dong smiled knowingly.

However, at this moment, Bibi Dong and Duan Yufan felt a powerful aura approaching, and there were quite a few people there.

"Your Holiness, Your Highness, the Heaven Dou Empire's legion has arrived." At this moment, the Holy Dragon Douluo also came to report to Bibi Dong and Duan Yufan.

"Oh! They've arrived. Let's go meet the Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire and discuss the attack on Star Luo City." Bibi Dong said immediately. The immense aura she had sensed was the arrival of the Heaven Dou Empire's army.
