The Strongest All-Round Support in Douluo Continent

"Welcome to the afternoon session. The much-anticipated Spirit Hall team is finally here to face the Dragon Sunflower Academy team. Let's give a warm round of applause to both teams as they enter the arena," the host announced.

Xie Yue led his members onto the arena, his face cold and indifferent.

"Round 1, Match 1, the competition is officially starting." The host finished speaking and stepped aside.

"You should be honored to be the first team to fall to us." Xie Yue said coldly before leading the way in releasing his martial spirit and soul rings.

"Hehe!" The second one is Hu Liena, and the third one is Yan.

"You..." The captain of the Longkui Academy team wanted to say something.

However, upon seeing the spirit rings of Xie Yue and the other two, they were too shocked to speak.

It starts at seventy and ends there.

As Xie Yue and his two companions released their spirit rings one after another, the audience went from being indifferent to gradually freezing in shock.

"Soul Kings! Three level 54 Soul Kings, how is that possible?" Emperor Xingluo and Prince Tiandou Xuexing were so shocked that they stood up.

Bishop Matthewton, the platinum bishop, chuckled as he watched the two make fools of themselves.

Davis, who was watching the game from above, unknowingly crushed the wine glass in his hand.

It's not that the crowd has never seen a Soul King before, but rather that they've never seen the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament. Among the participating teams, no Soul Kings have appeared in several tournaments, since the age limit is 25 years old.

"As expected, my worst fears have come true. I had a feeling that the Spirit Hall team would be very strong in this competition, but I didn't expect them to be this strong. I knew that since the Spirit Hall team didn't win the championship last time, the Spirit Hall would definitely invest heavily in training them." The captain of the Heaven Dou Royal team sighed and analyzed helplessly.

"Damn it! Did the Spirit Hall cheat? I think they're at most the same age as us, but their spirit power levels are ten levels lower." Davis clenched his fist in frustration, crushing his wine glass into pieces.

"Soul, Soul, Soul King, there are still three of them, Captain, what should we do, should we admit defeat?" The person behind the captain of the Longkui team stammered in shock.

"Admit defeat! How could we possibly admit defeat? Even if we can only hold on for one minute, that's enough. Otherwise, our academy will bear the shame of defeat without a fight. What will our teachers who trained us think? What will our junior brothers and sisters think? Charge! Martial Soul Activation!" Captain Long Kui shouted loudly, taking the lead in releasing her Martial Soul Skill and charging forward.

"Not bad, not bad, quite enlightened, but in the face of absolute strength, any tactic is utterly useless. Fourth Soul Skill, powerful." Xie Yue was starting to look at Captain Long Kui with new respect.

"Third Soul Skill, Pink Mist." Hu Liena unleashed the Red Mist Soul Skill on the Longkui Academy team.

Suddenly, the members of the Longkui team could no longer see their surroundings.

"Hmph!" With the assistance of Xu Yu's golden scepter martial soul, Xie Yue charged into the crowd of Long Kui's team with her moon blade martial soul, knocking them down one after another, unconscious.

Xu Yu's Golden Scepter Martial Soul is considered a top-tier support-type Martial Soul. Although its amplification effect is somewhat weaker than that of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, the Golden Scepter Martial Soul has no restriction on Soul Power level. Xu Yu even reached the eighth level of innate Soul Power with his support-type Martial Soul, which means he has the potential to become a Title Douluo-level support-type Soul Master in the future.

Xie Yue charged into Long Kui's team all by himself and ended the battle in a mere 10 seconds, showing them no mercy whatsoever.

Xie Yue then returned to his position, and Hu Liena also withdrew the pink mist from her third soul skill, revealing the figures of the Long Kui team members lying on the ground.

"In the first round, the Spirit Hall team faced off against the Longkui Academy team. The Spirit Hall team emerged victorious. Congratulations on being the first to enter the top ten! They were incredibly strong, taking only a few seconds to defeat the Longkui Academy team, which consisted of three Soul Masters and four Soul Venerables." The host checked on the Longkui Academy team members and found that they were only injured and unconscious. He immediately announced that Duan Yufan and his group had won.

Emperor Xingluo and Prince Xuexing had maintained a gloomy expression as Xie Yue and the other two began to reveal their spirit rings, and their expressions became even more unpleasant when they saw the outcome decided in just a few seconds.

"Haha, not bad, not bad, really clean and efficient." Platinum Bishop Matthewton laughed heartily, forming a stark contrast with Emperor Xingluo and Prince Xuexing.

"That's really impressive. I wonder what level the Holy Son's strength has reached." Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo, thought with narrowed eyes. Dugu Bo didn't believe that his soul power level was lower than that of Xie Yue and the other two on the field.

"Grandpa, how can those three from the Spirit Hall be so strong? I was only 14 years old when I reached level 41, the Soul Master, but they are already Soul Kings."

That's right. Three years ago, after absorbing the Earth Dragon Golden Silk Melon, Dugu Yan reached level 30. After obtaining her third soul ring, she immediately reached level 33, becoming a Soul Master. Her martial soul also underwent a transformation, increasing the speed of her soul power cultivation through meditation. In the past three years, she has reached the Soul Sect level and recently acquired her fourth soul skill. However, Dugu Yan did not participate in this competition.

"Yan'er, I reckon those three have also eaten it. With the flowers and herbs he brought back, plus the secret training from the Spirit Hall, it's entirely possible. You know the effects of those flowers and herbs." The "he" that Dugu Bodu Douluo was referring to was Duan Yufan.

"Yes, that's really impressive. The Holy Son's soul power is definitely higher than theirs," Dugu Yan said with certainty.

Amid cheers from the audience, Xie Yue and the others returned to their rest area, where Duan Yufan was already waiting for Hu Liena and the others.

"How boring! Will this discourage other college teams? But it doesn't seem to concern me." Duan Yufan joked when he saw Xie Yue and the others return.

"You mean it has something to do with me?" Hu Liena asked back.

"Of course, when Senior Sister came on stage, she bewildered everyone. But the most important thing was your brother, Xie Yue, who took down every kid with a single strike, showing no mercy whatsoever," Duan Yu Fan joked.

"Heh! I wonder who said it was a quick and decisive battle." Xie Yue retorted calmly.

"Alright! Alright! Let's go back, there's nothing to see here." Duan Yufan said boredly, got up and left the Great Soul Arena.

Hu Liena also went back to the Star Luo Temple, while Xie Yue and the others wanted to stay and take another look, so they stayed behind.

"Uncle, I'm going back to the hotel now." On the other side, Xue Qinghe, the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Dou Empire, was watching Duan Yufan. Seeing Duan Yufan leave, he also made an excuse to go back.

Without waiting for Prince Xuexing's reply, he left the Great Soul Arena with his two personal guards, one slightly fat and the other slightly thin.

Prince Xue Xing didn't care about Xue Qinghe's departure because of the Spirit Hall team.

Duan Yufan and Hu Liena had walked halfway back to the Star Luo Temple when Duan Yufan spotted three people coming towards them. In the middle was a young man with light blond hair, dressed in a fitted formal suit woven with gold and silver threads, and behind him were two guards.

It was Xue Qinghe, the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire. After Duan Yufan left the Great Soul Arena, Xue Qinghe also left, and quickly circled around for half a turn before walking in front of Duan Yufan.

"What a coincidence! Isn't this the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall? Instead of watching the competition, he's out shopping with his sweetheart. The Holy Son is so leisurely." Crown Prince Xue Qinghe spoke coldly to Duan Yufan.

"Who are you! What do you mean by that?" Although Hu Liena was secretly pleased, her face remained unchanged.

"Oh! I know you, the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Dou Empire. I've met you once. Xue Qinghe... I've forgotten, I don't remember you." Duan Yufan looked at him for a while, pretending to have a bad memory, and then said with a sudden realization.

"Oh! Then why don't we find a quiet place to have a good chat? Maybe we'll have a deeper impression of each other then," Crown Prince Xue Qinghe said with a refined smile.

"That would be wonderful! I wonder if there's a quiet place in Star Luo City, Brother Xue?" Duan Yufan said with a smile.

"Of course! Come with me." Xue Qinghe said and turned to leave.

"Xiao Fan! What's going on? Why would the Crown Prince of Tian Dou want to chat with you out of the blue, and why did you agree to his request?" Hu Liena asked, puzzled.

"Senior sister, you'll find out soon enough. Let's follow her first. Don't worry, senior sister! She's not an enemy." Duan Yufan reassured Hu Liena, seeing her worry.

"OK then!"

Duan Yufan and Hu Liena followed behind Prince Xue Qinghe at a certain distance.

Seventy thousand ren of snow reveal its true form

Duan Yufan and Hu Liena followed Xue Qinghe all the way, and soon they left the city. After walking for a short while, they arrived at a small grove on the outskirts of Xingluo City.

"Aren't we there yet? I'm going back." Duan Yufan was confused about what Xue Qinghe was up to.

"What, scared? Well, this place is about the same, let's leave it here." Xue Qinghe stopped after walking in the grove for a while.

"I told you to find a quiet place, not a secluded one," Duan Yufan said speechlessly.

"Because I don't like the look of you, I want to teach you a lesson. I need to find a good place. Hmm, this place is nice." Xue Qinghe turned around and said jokingly.

"Unless you make them both attack together, I'm not bragging, but even ten of you wouldn't be a match for me." Duan Yufan didn't hold back and began to mock Xue Qinghe with exaggerated words.

"Hehe! You're just a Soul King, and a support-type Soul Master at that. But you're quite good at talking. Is it because of this way of speaking that my grandfather and she treat you so well?" Xue Qinghe wasn't angry at all and asked calmly.

"Soul King? Heh, years later, even at the Soul Saint level, I'll still be outmatched by a Soul Emperor." Duan Yufan secretly mocked Qian Renxue.

"No way, I'm all about talent. Maybe it's because of my personal charm, or maybe I was cute when I was little," Duan Yufan said shamelessly.

Although Hu Liena couldn't understand the riddles the two were exchanging, she felt that Duan Yufan's words made her roll her eyes and were really asking for a beating.

"Grandpa told me you're already a Soul King level 57, and at 11 years old, you certainly deserve my attention. Let me test your mettle." Xue Qinghe's eyes changed, and she looked sharply at Duan Yufan.

"What do you mean? My Xiao Fan is a support-type character. If you want to fight, fight me." Hu Liena was unhappy when she heard this, even though she didn't know who her opponent was, what kind of martial soul they had, or how much soul power they had.

"You are her other disciple, right? Your talent is indeed top-notch among your peers, but you are still a little inferior to us." Xue Qinghe looked at Hu Liena with a hint of disdain.

"After saying so much, is this how you talk to us? That's so rude! Your grandfather told me everything." Duan Yufan was somewhat curious to see what the woman known as the number one beauty in Douluo Continent looked like.

"Want to know? Fine, then show me your skills," Xue Qinghe said, still feigning mystery.

"Xiao Fan, after all that talk, who is he? I'm still completely confused," Hu Liena asked, very curious.

"Her? She's the granddaughter of Grand Elder Qian Daoliu, the daughter of the previous Pope, Qian Renxue. She has the first God-level Angel Martial Soul and innate full soul power at level twenty." Duan Yufan introduced Xue Qinghe to the curious Hu Liena. Oh no! It's more appropriate to call her Qian Renxue now.

"Ah! He also has a divine-level martial soul, with innate full soul power at level 20. How did he become the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire?" Hu Liena exclaimed in surprise.

"This is the teacher's arrangement, and we shouldn't ask too many questions," Duan Yufan replied to Hu Liena and the other two when they asked.

"Alright!" Hu Liena stopped asking questions when she heard that it was Bibi Dong's arrangement.

"I have a support-type martial soul, aren't you afraid I'll tell your grandfather and my teacher that you bullied me?" Duan Yufan said shamelessly.

"You...! Fine, just say it, you're possessed by an angel." Qian Renxue could no longer bear it. Six magnificent golden wings appeared on her back, and she rose into the air, only stopping when she reached more than ten meters. At the same time, six soul rings surrounded her body, yellow, purple, and black, indicating that she was only a level 62 Soul Emperor.

Seeing this, the two guards behind them, knowing that this place was still near Xingluo City, joined forces to seal off the aura of soul power fluctuations in order to prevent being discovered.

Duan Yufan was speechless. How come other people's Angelic Martial Souls could fly after being possessed, but his couldn't?

"Senior sister, step back a little. My martial soul is also of the light attribute, which can greatly reduce her attacks," Duan Yufan said to Hu Liena.

"Is Xiao Fan alright? She's actually a level 62 Soul Emperor." Hu Liena looked at Qian Renxue with some surprise. She truly lived up to her reputation as a level 20 Soul Emperor with full innate Soul Power.

"It's alright, Senior Sister. My soul power is no less than hers. Although I don't have as many attack methods as she does, I have many defenses too," Duan Yufan reassured Hu Liena.

"Alright!" Hu Liena didn't say anything more and stepped aside. After all, she was the granddaughter of the Grand Elder and shouldn't do anything to Duan Yufan.

"Are you ready? I'm coming." Qian Renxue looked down at Duan Yufan.

"What's the rush? Are you that impatient? With your current strength, I'm not bragging, you're really no match for me, haha!" Duan Yufan continued.

"Hmph! Pretty sharp-tongued. First Soul Skill, Angel Assault." Qian Renxue didn't wait any longer and directly released her Soul Skill, heading towards Duan Yufan.

Qian Renxue concentrated the sacred light energy characteristic of the Angelic Martial Soul into her fist, while a light shield appeared in front of her, giving her a soul skill that combined offense and defense.

"Third Soul Skill, Holy Light Protection." Seeing that Qian Renxue attacked without saying a word, Duan Yufan instantly summoned his Martial Soul and released his third Soul Skill. A beam of light enveloped Duan Yufan, forming a protective shield.

"Hmm, this aura is... the aura of a Martial Soul Fusion Technique."

When Duan Yufan and Qian Renxue released their martial souls at the same time, they sensed the message coming from the martial souls' rebuttal.

"Hmph, who would bother with this kid's spirit fusion technique?" Qian Renxue thought to herself, without stopping her attack.

With a clang, Duan Yufan's protective shield rippled, but it did not shatter.

"Didn't you eat? You're too weak." Duan Yufan mocked Qian Renxue from inside the protective shield.

Qian Renxue discovered that the dissolving and suppressing effects of her sacred light energy had no effect on Duan Yufan.

"Hmph, take another punch from me, I refuse to believe I can't break a turtle shell." After saying that, Qian Renxue increased the intensity of her soul power and threw another punch.

Duan Yufan naturally increased his soul power output, so the protective shield remained intact.
