Douluo Continent: Tonight, a Fairy Tale Descends

The referee stood at the edge of the ring, looked at the two men, took a deep breath, and announced loudly, "The match begins!"

The moment the words left his mouth, the fire began to dance.

She's not an offensive type and won't charge in recklessly. As a control-type Soul Master, her primary task is to control the battlefield.

"First Soul Skill, Infinite Naruto!"

The magenta spirit ring suddenly shone brightly.

Huo Wu pushed her hands forward, and from her center, countless fiery red shadows spread outwards like a tide.

Those shadows were not physical entities, but phantoms made of pure fire energy. They moved swiftly across the ground, leaving bright fire patterns on the dark red arena surface wherever they passed.

In the blink of an eye, most of the arena was covered by these fiery phantoms.

Several fire shadows appeared beneath the feet of the spot where Lia stood.

She could sense the energy contained within those Naruto figures; they were constantly releasing high temperatures, attempting to interfere with her soul power and simultaneously blocking her movement routes.

This is a typical fighting style for control-type Soul Masters: first, use wide-range Soul Skills to restrict the opponent's movement space, and then look for an opportunity to strike and win.

But Leah didn't move.

She simply stood there quietly, her amber eyes quickly scanning the fiery illusions on the ground, her mind racing.

The distribution of these Hokage is systematic; they are not evenly scattered, but rather denser in certain locations. Those locations happen to be key nodes in their movement routes.

If she acts rashly, she will likely be entangled by the Hokage, at which point Mai Shiranui's second soul skill will follow.

"Very cautious," Huo Wu said with a slight smile. "But you can't win a match just by standing there."

She formed a mudra with her hands in front of her chest, and crimson flames danced at her fingertips.

"Second Soul Skill, Blazing Inferno!"

The second yellow spirit ring lit up.

The flames in Huo Wu's palm suddenly condensed, transforming into a long spear about two meters long and entirely fiery red.

The gun body is entwined with phoenix feather-like patterns, the flame flickers at the tip, and the end is pure white.

The moment the gun appeared, the temperature on the arena soared again.

Huo Wu didn't throw the spear, but held it in her hand. With a flash, she rushed towards Lia!

A control-type Soul Master actively closes the distance?

A gasp rippled through the audience.

But Lia understood Huo Wu's intention. The spear formed from the molten fire itself was not very powerful; what was truly terrifying was the fire-resistant ring it came with.

Once hit by the spear, even just grazed, one would be bounced back by the force of the fire ring.

Once bounced off, they would fall into the encirclement of those fiery phantoms on the ground.

At that time, Huo Wu's third soul skill, Fire Resistance Ring, will be able to exert its maximum effect and knock Lia directly out of the arena.

A perfect tactical chain.

But this was the moment Leah had been waiting for.

When Huo Wu rushed to within five meters of her, Lia moved.

Her movements were light and quick, like a nimble swift.

"First Soul Skill, Seed of Phosphorous Fire".

Leah flicked her left hand forward, and a tiny, almost invisible flame shot out from her fingertip.

The flame was so small that it was almost invisible amidst the sea of ​​firelight.

It didn't shoot at Huo Wu, but instead shot at the ground in front of her.

Huo Wu's pupils contracted.

She had seen this move before. When Lia fought Huo Wushuang, Lia used this almost invisible flame seed to detonate at a crucial moment, interrupting Huo Wushuang's soul skill charging.

We must prevent it from adhering!

Without hesitation, Huo Wu changed direction, sweeping her spear horizontally, the flame at the tip of the spear swirling towards the tiny flame.

But just as the spear was about to touch the Phosphorescent Seed, Leah completed her second move.

"Second Soul Skill: Compressed Fire Core".

The fiery match spirit in Lia's right palm trembled violently.

The originally flickering yellow flames suddenly contracted and condensed, their color changing from bright yellow to orange-red, then to deep red, and finally transforming into a walnut-sized, azure-blue fire core radiating terrifying heat.

The moment the fire core appeared, many fire-attribute soul masters in the audience gasped.

Extremely compressed flame energy!

Huo Wu also sensed the danger, but it was too late for her to put away her gun.

"burst."

Leah uttered a single word.

The compressed fire core was not shot at Huo Wu, but rather in front of the path that Huo Wu's spear had swept through, which was precisely where the Seed of Phosphorous Fire was located.

boom!!!

A deafening explosion rang out.

The moment the azure fire core came into contact with the phosphorescent seed, a chain reaction occurred.

First, the explosion of the compressed fire core itself created a terrifying energy shock that blasted a shallow crater into the surface of the arena.

Immediately afterwards, the Seed of Phosphorus Fire was detonated, and the flames of the secondary explosion, like a blooming lotus flower, completely engulfed Fire Dance.

"Senior Huowu!"

Gasps of surprise erupted from the audience.

But when the smoke cleared, Huo Wu's figure reappeared.

She knelt on one knee, her spear planted in front of her, the shaft of which created a barrier of flames.

The barrier was riddled with cracks, but it ultimately blocked most of the explosion's power.

However, her face was somewhat pale, and her breathing became a little rapid.

"A brilliant plan." Huo Wu slowly stood up, her rose-red eyes gleaming with even greater fighting spirit.

"Using the Seed of Phosphorus Fire as bait to force me to change my attack trajectory, and then detonating it with the Compressed Fire Core to create a double explosion... No wonder my brother lost."

Leah did not respond.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Using two soul skills in succession, especially a high-consumption soul skill like Compressed Fire Core, puts a considerable burden on her soul power.

At level 34, she was already at a disadvantage in terms of total soul power compared to level 36, so she had to be very careful with her resources.

"But I won't fall for the same move twice." Huo Wu took a deep breath, and the flames around her rose again.

"Now, it's my turn."

She gripped the spear with both hands and thrust it violently into the ground.

"Third Soul Skill: Fire Resistance Ring!"

The purple soul ring shone brightly.

Centered on Huo Wu, a fiery red halo with a diameter of over ten meters suddenly spread out.

Wherever the halo passed, the phantom flames on the ground seemed to be injected with life, pulsating wildly, and the temperature instantly soared to a suffocating level.

This is Fire Dance's trump card. The Fire Resistance Ring itself has no direct attack power, but it can forcibly knock back all enemies within its range.

Chapter 300 Feng Xiaotian

The Fire Resistance Ring, combined with the flame domain created by the first soul skill, Infinite Fire Shadow, will cause any soul master who is repelled to fall into a sea of ​​fire, and even if they don't die, they will be severely injured.

Leah reacted the instant the ring of fire appeared.

She didn't retreat; retreating would only allow the ring of fire to catch up.

She didn't try to resist; that would have been suicide.

She chose a direction that no one had expected.

forward.

"Third Soul Skill, Flash Step."

Leah's figure suddenly blurred, transforming into a streak of crimson fire, rushing towards the spreading ring of resistance fire!

"She's gone mad?!" someone in the audience exclaimed in shock.

The repulsive force of the fire ring is absolute; unless one's soul power far surpasses Huo Wu's, it's impossible to advance against it. A forced impact will only result in being violently repelled.

But the next moment, everyone's eyes widened.

The flames that Leah transformed into did not travel in a straight line. Instead, the moment they touched the edge of the ring of fire, they strangely veered to one side, like water flowing around rocks, and cut into the interior of the ring of fire at an incredible angle!

No, that's not the entry point.

It's teleportation.

The true effect of Flash Step is short-range fire teleportation!

The flames reformed into Lia's figure within the ring of fire, and she was less than three meters away from Fire Dance.

Huo Wu's pupils suddenly contracted.

She hadn't expected Leah to break the Fire Resistance Ring in this way. Teleportation-type soul skills are extremely rare, let alone the third soul skill possessed by a level 34 Soul Master.

But Huo Wu, being one of the best young talents at Blazing Academy, responded instantly.

The spear swept horizontally, the flames at its tip transforming into an arc-shaped slash, blocking all of Leah's paths of advance.

At the same time, she pushed off with her feet, trying to create distance.

But this was the opportunity that Leah had been waiting for.
