Douluo: I have too many clones

Chapter 835 Shrek's Strongest Reinforcements
"Hahaha!"

Qian Gu Die Ting's wild laughter echoed in the stadium. He looked at the five hundred figures disappearing from the landscape painting high in the sky, his eyes filled with pride and joy.

At this moment, he was suppressing Long Yeyue, and the Dragon Staff in his hand emitted bursts of dragon roars due to the infusion of soul power. The silver dragon patterns on the staff seemed to break free from their restraints, leaving afterimages in the air.

"Old hag, did you see that? Your proud Shrek students have no chance to resist and have been sealed into a painting by a divine artifact! Today, we'll settle our old and new scores together!"

Before he finished speaking, Qian Gu Die Ting suddenly exerted his strength, and the Panlong Staff swept horizontally toward Long Ye Yue's face with a sharp sound of wind breaking.

The fierce attack made no attempt to conceal its killing intent, clearly indicating that it was an attempt to avenge the slap Long Yeyue had given it years ago.

"You old scoundrel, stop your arrogance!"

A barely perceptible hint of anxiety flashed in Long Yeyue's eyes. The annihilation of five hundred Battle Armor Masters undoubtedly weakened Shrek Academy's strength.

But she remained defiant, her cane thrusting out like a sword, precisely blocking the Panlong Staff: "Shrek's foundation is beyond your Spirit Pagoda's comprehension! The battle is still undecided today, and the outcome remains uncertain!"

"Is that so? I'll see if your strength is as tough as your mouth!"

Qian Gu Die Ting let out a mocking laugh, his soul power suddenly erupted, the dragon patterns on the Panlong Staff lit up completely, and a huge black dragon shadow roared out from the staff, smashing towards Long Ye Yue with the power to tear through space.

With the suppression of his quasi-god level soul power, his attacks became increasingly fierce, and Long Yeyue was soon forced to retreat step by step.

Meanwhile, in another corner of the stadium, the battle was equally intense.

"Zang Xin, today is the end of your Tang Clan!"

Qian Gu Dongfeng, wielding the Panlong Staff, fought to a standstill with Duoqing Douluo Zang Xin. The sounds of staff shadows clashing with sword light were incessant, and the energy fluctuations around the two made the surrounding air scorching hot.

Qian Gu Dong Feng's staff technique is fierce and domineering, with each sweep carrying a world-destroying momentum.
Zang Xin, on the other hand, uses softness to overcome hardness. His long sword is as agile as a serpent, always able to defuse the attacks of Qian Gu Dong Feng at crucial moments.

"Just you?"

Zang Xin snorted coldly, and his Amorous Sword slashed down, colliding with Qian Gu Dong Feng's Coiling Dragon Staff. The two were instantly locked in a stalemate. "Although there are only a few of us left here, as long as one person hasn't fallen, the Tang Clan will never admit defeat!"

"Just a last-ditch resistance!"

Qian Gu Dongfeng's eyes darkened. He knew that with their combined strength, determining a winner in a short time would be no easy task. Therefore, he slowed his attacks and began to use words to distract them:
"Zang Xin, as you've seen, Shrek Academy's five hundred Battle Armor Masters have been sealed away, and the War God Temple has joined forces with our Spirit Pagoda. You are now isolated and helpless. You might as well surrender obediently, at least you can preserve some of the Tang Sect's dignity, and avoid ending up disgraced!"

At their level, battles are not only a contest of strength, but also a battle of wits. As long as Zang Xin shows even the slightest weakness, he can seize the opportunity and defeat his opponent in one fell swoop.

However, Zang Xin remained unaffected, instead revealing a mocking smile: "Ha! Qian Gu Dong Feng, you think you can defeat us with such meager methods? Don't forget, Brother Yun Ming is still alive!"

"As long as he is alive, Shrek Academy and the Tang Clan will have a chance to rise again. Your ambition is destined to be nothing but a bubble!"

Upon hearing the words "Yunming," Qian Gu Dongfeng's pupils suddenly contracted, and a hint of barely concealed fear flashed in his eyes.

But he quickly regained his composure and sneered, "Don't try to scare me with Yun Ming! He's missing now, who knows if he's already dead somewhere? If he's really still alive, then bring him out and let him fight me head-on!"

After saying that, Qian Gu Dong Feng suddenly raised his voice and shouted sternly to the members of the Spirit Pagoda around him: "Spirit Pagoda members, listen to my command! Quickly surround and capture Tang Wulin, the sect leader of the Tang Clan!"

Since Zang Xin did not deliberately reveal any weaknesses, he would create them, and Tang Wulin, the sect leader of the Tang Clan, was undoubtedly the best point of attack.

The fact that Cao Dezhi and his group were willing to go to such lengths to rescue Tang Wulin clearly demonstrates his importance. Capturing Tang Wulin would not only demoralize the Tang Clan but also avenge the injury suffered by Cao Dezhi's grandson, Qian Gu Zhangting.

More importantly, the artifact in Tang Wulin's hand, which resembled the Trident of Poseidon, was also highly coveted.

"Yes."

Upon hearing the order, the people from the Spirit Pagoda immediately gathered around Tang Wulin.

On the arena, Gu Yuena did not obey the order. Instead, she sat on the ground to regulate her breathing, her eyes closed, and a faint aura of soul power surrounded her. It looked as if she was recovering her soul power and was temporarily unable to participate in the battle.

"kill!"

The three Title Douluo launched the first attack, flanking Tang Wulin from the left, right, and rear. Their weapons gleamed with a chilling light, and their soul power was condensed as if it were a tangible substance. They clearly intended to subdue Tang Wulin in one fell swoop.

Even though Tang Wulin had been injured in the battle, they dared not be careless in the slightest—after all, at this conference, the Tang Sect Master had defeated many powerful figures single-handedly, and his fighting prowess had already won people's hearts.

Besides the three Title Douluos, there were more than a dozen Soul Douluos scattered in a ring around them, holding soul tools and infusing them with soul power, ready to provide support at any time.

As soon as Tang Wulin reveals the slightest weakness or attempts to break through, they will immediately launch an attack, forming an impenetrable encirclement.

however……

"boom!!!"

A deafening roar suddenly echoed throughout the Mingdu Grand Gymnasium. Just as the attacks of the three Title Douluo from the Spirit Pagoda were about to reach Tang Wulin, a crimson pillar of fire fell from the sky, crashing onto the arena like molten lava.

The scorching heatwave spread outwards from the pillar of fire, forcing the three Title Douluos to retreat repeatedly, their soul power shields rippled.

The dozen or so Soul Douluos waiting nearby were also blown away by the shockwave and crashed heavily to the ground, spitting out blood, clearly suffering serious injuries.

"Roar—who dares to hurt him!"

With a deafening roar, a burly figure appeared in front of Tang Wulin as if by teleportation, firmly protecting her behind him.

The newcomer was nearly two meters tall, with a muscular build like an iron tower. His arms were thicker than the thighs of an average adult man, and his arms and face were covered with colorful scales that reflected an eerie luster under the light. Just this appearance alone was enough to inspire fear.

What's even more chilling are his eyes—his left eye is a deep blue like ice, as if it could freeze a person's soul; his right eye is crimson like fire, as if flames are burning fiercely inside. The two extreme auras intertwine on him, creating a suffocating sense of oppression.

"Ultimate Douluo!"

Sensing the powerful aura emanating from the newcomer, the expressions of everyone in the stadium changed drastically.

The Spirit Pagoda's side, in particular, all wore solemn expressions—the combat power of a Limit Douluo was enough to overturn the current battle situation, and they had been completely unprepared for this.

"Qilin Douluo Tong Yu, how could he be here?!" Qian Gu Dongfeng's pupils suddenly contracted, and he exclaimed in shock.

Most people present might be unfamiliar with this ugly face, but he had carefully studied the image of the Five Gods' Decision and recognized the person's identity at a glance.

This is none other than Tong Yu, the Qilin Douluo who fought Tang Wulin in the Star Luo Empire, a Limit Douluo from the Star Luo Continent!

However, Star Luo Continent and Douluo Continent are currently in a state of hostility. As a top expert of Star Luo, why would Tong Yu appear in Mingdu? And why would he step forward at this critical moment to protect Tang Wulin?

Qian Gu Dongfeng's mind raced, and in an instant he seized upon a point of attack. He immediately raised his voice and shouted towards the stands and the surrounding crowd:
"Zang Xin! Your Tang Sect is indeed a traitorous organization! You actually colluded with the Limit Douluo of the Star Luo Continent, allowing him to smuggle himself into the Douluo Continent! If he launches an attack in Mingdu, countless innocent people will lose their lives. Can you bear this responsibility?"

He deliberately emphasized words like "treason," "smuggling," and "attack" in an attempt to guide public opinion.

Regardless of Tong Yu's true purpose, once he is associated with the label of "Star Luo spy," the accusation that the Tang Sect colluded with foreign enemies will be difficult to clear.

As Qian Gu Dongfeng predicted, the footage of Tang Wulin participating in the Five Gods' Battle in the Star Luo Empire had already spread throughout the Douluo Continent, and many viewers had an impression of Qilin Douluo Tongyu.

Upon hearing Qian Gu Dongfeng's accusations and recalling the war between the Federation and Xingluo, many people immediately showed fear, their gazes towards Tong Yu filled with hostility and dread. If this Xingluo Limit Douluo was truly here to cause destruction, with his strength, he could indeed unleash a catastrophe.

Despite the doubts and hostility from the audience, Tong Yu remained unusually calm.

He slowly raised his head, his gaze sweeping across the entire arena, his voice carrying through his soul power to every corner of the stadium: "The former Star Luo Qilin Douluo is dead. The one standing here now is just an ordinary teacher from Shrek Academy."

"You said yes?"

Qian Gu Dongfeng sneered, not willing to let this opportunity slip by. "Who knows if you're a spy sent by the Star Luo Empire, pretending to join Shrek Academy while actually trying to overthrow the order of our Douluo Continent!"

Tong Yu did not argue with him, but pointed to Tang Wulin behind him and said firmly, "I have no intention of interfering in the internal strife of your Federation, but Tang Wulin is the son of an old friend of mine, and I will not allow anyone to harm him today."

Qilin Douluo Tong Yu once cruelly murdered Tang Ziran's mother. After resolving his inner conflict through the Five Gods' Technique, he has been searching for Tang Ziran, wanting to atone for his past mistakes.

It wasn't until recently, through extensive investigations, that he learned that Tang Ziran had already been murdered, and that Tang Wulin was his only son.

After a frank conversation with Tang Wulin, Tong Yu decided to join Shrek Academy to protect the son of his old friend as a teacher, which could also be seen as a way of redeeming himself for his past sins.

"I'm taking him away today, and I'd like to see who dares to stop me!"

Tong Yu let out a cold shout, and his soul power suddenly erupted. A phantom of a Qilin formed from the five elements appeared behind him. The Qilin roared to the sky, and the power of the five elements flowed around the phantom, forming a dazzling halo. The pressure of the Limit Douluo instantly enveloped the entire scene.

"asshole!"

Upon seeing this, Qian Gu Dong Feng immediately rushed forward to stop him, but the moment he moved, Zang Xin's Amorous Sword suddenly appeared in front of him, the soul power flowing on the sword carrying a sharp killing intent, making him dare not be distracted in the slightest.

"go!"

Without further hesitation, Tong Yu reached out and grabbed Tang Wulin's arm, intending to take her into the air and leave.

Once Tang Wulin is safely escorted out of the stadium, Long Yeyue, Zang Xin, and the others will have fewer worries, and it will be much easier for them to escape later.

Chen Xinjie stood not far away, watching this scene, a fierce struggle flashing in his eyes.

As the master of the Temple of War God, he had a responsibility to prevent the "traitor" from leaving, but the guilt he felt for his beloved Bai Yueguang ultimately overwhelmed everything. He slowly lowered his raised hand and chose to remain silent.

"Want to leave? You'd better stay here, Kunqiu!"

Just as Tong Yu was about to take off with Tang Wulin, a clear, cold voice suddenly rang out.

Immediately afterwards, a jet-black water sphere rapidly formed in the void, its surface shrouded in a faint black mist, emanating a chilling suction force as it hurtled towards Tong Yu and Tang Wulin.

"Little tricks!"

Tong Yu snorted coldly and swung his right fist without hesitation, intending to shatter the water sphere. His fist was covered with multicolored scales and contained the formidable soul power of a Limit Douluo; ordinary attacks would be reduced to dust under this punch.

"Buzz!"

However, the expected shattering did not occur. When Tong Yu's fist touched the black water sphere, instead of bursting, the sphere instantly enveloped his fist as if it were alive, and then rapidly spread up his arm.

A powerful suction force emanated from inside the water sphere, frantically drawing away Tong Yu's soul power, as if trying to completely devour his strength.

"what!"

Tong Yu's pupils contracted, but he did not panic. A burst of five-colored divine light suddenly erupted around him, and the power of the five elements surged into his arms like a tide. Under the protection of the divine light, the ever-spreading black water sphere gradually disappeared without a trace, just like ice and snow melting away.

Just as Tong Yu averted the crisis, a figure leaped up from the direction of the arena, rushing towards him like an arrow released from a bow, the fist carrying the sound of wind breaking, aiming straight for his face.

This punch, though seemingly simple, contained extremely terrifying power; wherever the punch passed, the air was compressed and made to explode.

"Well done!"

A fighting spirit flashed in Tong Yu's eyes. He gently tossed Tang Wulin off the stage and then turned to face the figure.

At the same time, his spirit rings suddenly lit up—nine deep red spirit rings floated behind him, all of them being 100,000-year spirit rings!
"First Soul Skill: Qilin Arm!"

Tong Yu let out a low shout, and the phantom of the Qilin behind him roared. His right arm suddenly swelled several times its original size, with colorful scales arranged tightly like steel armor. A deep rumbling sound came from inside the bones, and a powerful force burst out from his arm.

Although it was only the first soul skill, with the enhancement of a 100,000-year soul ring, the power of this attack had already surpassed the scope of ordinary soul skills.
"boom."

The two fists collided, and a loud bang shook the entire stadium.

Tong Yu felt a tremendous force coming from the opponent's fist. He involuntarily took two steps back, his arm went numb, and he became even more wary of the newcomer's strength.

He looked up and saw a young man standing in front of him.

The other person looked to be in his early twenties, handsome, wearing black and white overalls, with a calm and powerful aura around him. There were nine spirit rings floating behind him, three black and six red. Although the spirit ring configuration was not as good as Tong Yu's all red, it was still considered heaven-defying.

"The Spirit Messenger of the Spirit Pagoda: Cai Xukun!"

Tong Yu's pupils contracted again. After arriving in Douluo Continent, he had specifically learned about the top experts on this continent, and the names and deeds of the four Spirit Transmission Envoys of the Spirit Transmission Tower were naturally within his scope of attention.

"I thought the Silver Dragon Princess Gu Yuena was already powerful enough, but I didn't expect this Spirit Transmission Envoy to be just as formidable!"

Tong Yu was secretly amazed, and at the same time a sense of sorrow welled up in his heart. "Douluo Continent is indeed worthy of being the ancestral land of the Star Luo Empire. The young people here are all as strong as monsters."

He had previously believed that although the Star Luo Continent was slightly weaker than the Douluo Continent in overall strength, the gap between the younger generation should not be significant.

But after watching this martial arts contest to find a husband, he realized how naive his previous thoughts were—Douluo Continent not only has a large number of young Title Douluos, but also geniuses like Gu Yuena and Cai Xukun whose strength is approaching that of the older generation of powerhouses.

In contrast, among the younger generation of the Star Luo Continent, the only ones who can be considered outstanding are the twin martial souls of Mountain Dragon King Long Yue and Dai Yun'er.

Even Long Yue, who has the best talent, has only just broken through to the Title Douluo realm this year. Compared with Gu Yuena and Cai Xukun, the gap is simply enormous.

"With such a gap, can the Star Luo Continent really withstand the invasion of the Douluo Continent?" For the first time, Tong Yu felt a sense of unease and a touch of worry about the future of his motherland.

"I have no intention of making enemies of the Spirit Pagoda; I simply wish to leave with the son of an old friend," Tong Yu said solemnly to Cai Xukun, suppressing his thoughts. He did not want to be enemies with this exceptionally talented young powerhouse, nor did he want to delay his departure.

Cai Xukun slowly shook his head, and a huge phantom of a Kun-like creature appeared behind him. The phantom blotted out the sky and exuded an aura as vast as the ocean: "Tang Sect is a traitorous organization recognized by the Federation. Tang Wulin, as the sect leader of Tang Sect, is the core target of this operation. I cannot let him leave."

"Yeah."

Tong Yu let out a sigh, the hesitation in his eyes vanished, replaced by a firm fighting spirit.

The illusory image of the Five Elements Qilin behind him solidified once more, and the power of the Five Elements swirled around him, forming a five-colored light shield:
"In that case, let's have a proper spar! It will also be a good opportunity for me to see what the difference is between the top experts of Douluo Continent and those of Star Luo Continent."

Before he could finish speaking, Tong Yu launched the first attack. He flashed and appeared in front of Cai Xukun like a ghost. His fist, covered in five-colored scales and imbued with the power of the five elements, slammed towards Cai Xukun's chest.

Another showdown has begun!
