Douluo Continent: The Five Elements Lock Martial Soul, Five Elements Divine Might Transformation

The only girl among the three rested her chin on her hand and calmly analyzed, "The girl has short orange hair, fair skin, and delicate features. She is very beautiful and not much less so than Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er."

Perhaps because she is older, the girl's figure is hotter and sexier than Huo Wu's.

Beside the girl stood two tall men, one of whom looked very similar to her, handsome and dashing, a real heartthrob who could charm countless girls on the street.

The other person had dark red hair, wore a fiery red outfit, and exuded a scorching aura, giving the impression of a boiling volcano, ready to erupt.

The girl's name was Hu Liena, and the two men were Xie Yue and Yan. The three of them were the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall, and all of them had the cultivation of a Soul King.

At this moment, Hu Liena glanced at Ling Yun on the stage and continued, "The others are not difficult to deal with, but the only one who makes me a little unsure is this Ling Yun."

His soul power level was higher than mine, to the point that I couldn't discern his true cultivation level, nor did I know how he cultivated.

"Hmph, just a little brat, what's there to be afraid of?"

Yan glanced at Ling Yun disdainfully and sneered, "No matter how strong he is, he's just a Soul King. We have three Soul Kings. Three against one, how could we not beat him?"

"Yan, don't underestimate your opponent."

Hu Liena frowned slightly and couldn't help but remind him, "As far as I know, this kid's soul skill is similar to a martial soul true body. He can transform into different kinds of soul beast warriors and his strength is terrifying. If you underestimate him too much, you might be in big trouble."

There are still a few matches left. Let's see if this kid will make a move. If one of the academies can force him to fight, we can get more information, and our chances of winning will be greater.

"Yes, Nana is right."

Xie Yue, the last one, spoke leisurely and looked at Hu Liena with a doting gaze. He was Hu Liena's older brother.

"No matter what, those three ten-thousand-year-old soul bones will definitely be ours!"

While the group was talking, Ling Yun and the others had already stepped down from the arena to watch the matches of other academies.

And so, the day passed quietly, and with the end of the last match of the day, the first round of the knockout stage came to an end.

Besides the three seeded teams, a total of fifteen Soul Master teams successfully advanced to the next round of the knockout stage.

Furthermore, through Bibi Dong's draw, Ling Yun also learned that Blazing Fire Academy's next opponent was none other than Star Luo Royal Academy.

"It's actually the Star Luo Royal Academy?!"

Ling Yun was startled and couldn't help but look in the direction of the Star Luo Royal Academy.

Star Luo Royal Academy is no weak team; they are probably the strongest, second only to Blazing Fire Academy and Spirit Hall team.

Although there are no Soul Kings, the entire team is equipped with Soul Masters. With Davis and Zhu Zhuyun's Netherworld White Tiger, they could probably even handle Soul Emperors.

"Hiss, looks like we've met our match this time..."

Huo Wu gasped and said, "In previous Soul Master Competitions, Star Luo Royal Academy was able to compete with the Spirit Hall team."

"It doesn't matter, we'll deal with whatever comes our way. Don't forget, our goal is the championship!"

Ling Yun said confidently, not taking the Star Luo Royal Academy seriously. Davis and Zhu Zhuyun have a martial soul fusion skill, so why don't they have one too?

Furthermore, he can fuse rings; I don't believe he can't defeat their Netherworld White Tiger.

"Let's go, Sister Huowu, let's go eat. I'm exhausted from watching the matches all day."

"Hehe, great! I just discovered a really delicious dessert shop yesterday. Let's go together, and bring your two girlfriends too."

Huo Wu regained her confidence and said with a mischievous grin, making Ling Yun feel embarrassed.

"Ahem, Sister Huowu, Sister Bing'er, Sister Yue'er, and I are just ordinary friends."

"They're practically kissing, and they still call themselves just friends?" Huo Wu rolled her eyes at Ling Yun and said disdainfully.

……

The following day at noon, after watching two boring matches, the match between Blazing Fire Academy and Star Luo Royal Academy officially began.

Chapter 87 One-on-One Battle Against the Netherworld White Tiger (Part 1)

Ling Yun and Davis led their respective partners onto the arena, and the Cardinal spoke at the opportune moment.

"I now declare the match open. Both players, please release your martial spirits."

As soon as he finished speaking, Davis did not rush to release his martial soul. Instead, he smiled and looked at Ling Yun, inviting him, "Ling Yun, you are a genius. It would be a waste of your talent to stay in the Heaven Dou Empire. Why don't you join my Star Luo Empire and serve me?"

Although I am only a prince now, I will one day become the crown prince and serve me. My future is limitless.

"When the time comes, I can give you whatever you want: a title, beautiful women, money, land!"

After a pause, Davis seemed to feel that this was still not enough to win over Ling Yun, and added, "In addition, I remember there are a few ten-thousand-year soul bones in the national treasury. I can make the decision that as long as you are willing to join the Star Luo Empire, I will let you choose any two ten-thousand-year soul bones from them. How about that? Isn't that a pretty good offer?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Wu and the audience below the stage were slightly surprised. They did not expect that Davis would want to recruit Ling Yun into the Star Luo Empire, and even offered him two ten-thousand-year soul bones.

Before Ling Yun could respond, Xue Qinghe glared at Davis with hostility. Good heavens, this guy was trying to steal him from him.

At the same time, he was also observing Ling Yun to see how he would respond. If Ling Yun couldn't resist the temptation, then there was no need to let him leave Wuhun City alive.

At this moment, Ling Yun slowly spoke up: "Thank you for the invitation, Your Highness, but I am already under the command of Crown Prince Xue Qinghe. One cannot break one's word, and I will not betray him."

Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe's lips curled up, unable to suppress it. Her beautiful eyes were fixed on Ling Yun, and she became more and more satisfied with him. Who wouldn't like a loyal subordinate? Especially when this subordinate is also a strong one.

In contrast to Xue Qinghe's overjoyed expression, Davis's face turned ashen, and he said with displeasure, "So you're saying there's no room for negotiation? In that case, let's make our move! White Tiger Possession!"

Finally, Davis roared, and a dazzling white tiger appeared behind him, merging with his body.

In an instant, Davis's body became extremely strong, even stronger than his younger brother Dai Mubai. He then took a step forward and flew towards Ling Yun like an arrow leaving a bow. His thick palm gathered soul power and slapped towards Ling Yun's chest.

"Since you are unwilling to serve me, then become my defeated foe!"

"Not only will I not be defeated by you, I will also lead everyone to become the champion of the finals! Five Elements Power, Transform!"

The fourth soul ring beneath his feet flickered slightly, and a surge of ultimate metal-attribute soul power shot out from the Five Elemental Locks, merging into Ling Yun's body.

Soon, Ling Yun's figure disappeared, replaced by a majestic Iron Fist Tiger.

At the same time, Davis's powerful palm strike landed heavily on Ling Yun's chest. However, to Ling Yun, whose body was as hard as steel, Davis's attack was no different from a tickle. Not only did it fail to cause him any harm, but it also made Ling Yun's arm ache.

Upon seeing Ling Yun transform into Iron Fist Tiger, Davis's eyes widened in surprise, and he exclaimed in astonishment.

"Could this be the True Form of a Martial Soul? How is this possible? You're just a Soul King, how could you possibly activate the True Form of a Martial Soul?"

At this moment, not only Davis, but all the participating Soul Masters from the Star Luo Empire showed expressions of surprise. A Soul King level being able to activate a Martial Soul True Body—how could they possibly fight like this?

In the Papal Palace, Bibi Dong, Hu Liena, and the other two stared wide-eyed as they watched Ling Yun use his soul skill.

"It actually turned into a tiger. Just like Salas said, this is an ability very similar to the Martial Soul True Body."

Hu Liena spoke first, silently pondering how to counter Ling Yun's skill, but Yan dismissed her with disdain.

"Hmph, so what if it's a soul skill similar to a Martial Soul True Body? He's just a Soul King. Even if he can forcibly activate a Martial Soul True Body, how long can he maintain it?"

"As long as we can hold out until his soul power is exhausted, then this brat will be at our mercy."

“Hmm, Yan has a point.” Xie Yue nodded and looked at Hu Liena with a smile: “Nana, don’t forget that we also have a Spirit Fusion Skill, and it seems that our Spirit Fusion Skill can restrain Ling Yun.”

The brother and sister's fusion skill is called "Enchanting Demon," which can release a crimson blood mist. Within the blood mist, everyone's perception and mobility will be greatly reduced.

Xie Yue's idea was simple: after Ling Yun transformed into a powerful beast-type warrior, he would trap him in the blood mist and wait until his soul power was exhausted before throwing him off the arena.

Hu Liena understood Xie Yue's idea, glanced at Bibi Dong, and sneered, "I understand. We'll use our Martial Soul Fusion Technique to teach this brat a lesson. I'll make him understand that refusing his teacher's invitation was the worst decision he's ever made!"

Upon hearing Hu Liena's words, Bibi Dong smiled and thought to herself, "She truly is my student."

Meanwhile, the battle on the stage continued. After physically withstanding Davis's palm strike, Ling Yun showed no mercy, unleashing a powerful punch straight at Davis's face.

"Hmph, this is indeed not my Martial Soul True Body, but it is just as powerful as the Martial Soul True Body."

Davis, it just so happens that your martial soul is also a tiger, so let's have a contest and see if your Evil-Eyed White Tiger is stronger, or my Iron Fist Tiger is superior!

"That's exactly what I was thinking! First Soul Skill: White Tiger Protective Barrier!"

Davis roared, unleashing his level 49 soul power, which transformed into a golden barrier in front of him to block Ling Yun's thunderous punch.

His cultivation level far surpassed that of his younger brother Dai Mubai, and therefore, the barrier he created was much stronger.

Just then, a piercing sound of wind breaking rang out, and Ling Yun's iron fist came whistling in, crashing heavily onto the barrier like a cannonball bursting from a cannon.

Bang

Immediately, a thunderous sound rang out, Davis's barrier shattered abruptly, and then the iron fist struck Davis with undiminished speed.

Although he was much stronger than Dai Mubai, he couldn't possibly stop Dai Mubai's iron fist with just his first soul skill.

"what?!"

Seeing his barrier shattered by Ling Yun's punch, Davis was terrified, but as expected of the eldest prince of the Star Luo Empire, he was rich in combat experience.

Seeing Ling Yun's fierce approach, he quickly retreated, keeping his distance from Ling Yun, while raising his arms to gather his soul power to defend himself.

Ultimately, due to the great distance, Ling Yun's iron fist only grazed his arm and did not cause much damage.

"Weiss, are you alright?"

Zhu Zhuyun asked with concern, while looking at Ling Yun with anger, as if she wanted to avenge her fiancé.

"Heh, it's nothing, just a superficial injury. But this kid is indeed quite skilled. Zhu Yun, let's use the Martial Soul Fusion Technique, lest things get complicated."

"no problem!"

After saying that, the two leaned together, and a beam of light shot into the sky. In an instant, a Netherworld White Tiger with a body size of over fifteen meters appeared in front of the Blazing Fire Academy students, its eyes, as big as buckets, staring straight at Ling Yun.

Chapter 88 One-on-One Battle Against the Netherworld White Tiger (Part 2)

The two of them were far more powerful than Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, and therefore the Netherworld White Tiger they formed was much larger.

Their larger size also means they have greater strength and speed.

"Ling Yun, should we also..."

Shui Bing'er glanced at Ling Yun, wondering if they should also have them use their Martial Soul Fusion Technique to fight against Davis and Zhu Zhuyun's Netherworld White Tiger.

But Ling Yun shook his head slightly and smiled, "No need, you can deal with the others from Star Luo Royal Academy. I'll take care of this Hakimi."

"no problem."

Everyone nodded, they all had great faith in Ling Yun's abilities, only Shui Yue'er asked a silly question.

"Speaking of which, Lingyun, what exactly does Hakimi mean?"

"……unimportant!"

After giving a perfunctory reply, Ling Yun pushed off with both legs and pounced like an arrow, charging towards the enormous Netherworld White Tiger and unleashing another thunderous punch.
