Douluo: Reborn as a Dragon, I am the Lord of Soul Beasts

Chapter 119

Just as Xiao Hongchen approached Chen Lu, Chen Lu suddenly exerted force, crossed his arms quickly, and blocked Xiao Hongchen's attack. The two of them clashed instantly, and the sound of fierce collision resounded throughout the arena.

Xiao Hongchen's attack was swift and fierce, and each move was full of powerful soul power, but Chen Lu remained calm, focusing on defense and counterattack, and steadily responded to Xiao Hongchen's offensive. The confrontation between the two was like an exquisite dance, and every step was thrilling.

The game was extremely intense, with both sides constantly testing each other's bottom line and looking for opportunities to win. The audience held their breath and watched every move on the court nervously.

Chen Lu's legs showed extraordinary flexibility and strength in the battle. Every attack was as hard as steel, exuding a powerful aura. His legs seemed to have turned into sharp blades, slashing, kicking, and sweeping, and every move was aimed at forcing Xiao Hongchen into a desperate situation.

Xiao Hongchen responded with flexible footwork and swiftness, and every attack and defense was full of subtle calculations. His martial soul, the three-legged golden toad, gave him a strong ability to control metal elements. During the battle, he cleverly used this ability to constantly change his attack methods, making it difficult for Chen Lu to figure it out.

Suddenly, a cold light flashed in Xiao Hongchen's eyes, and he swung his right hand violently. A faint sound of metal friction was heard in the air, and a golden light pierced Chen Lu's chest like lightning.

Chen Lu's eyes focused, and he quickly raised his right leg and kicked it out fiercely. A strong airflow burst out, blocking Xiao Hongchen's attack. At the same time, he slightly bent his left leg, jumped back, and kicked out with both legs in a row, attacking Xiao Hongchen's head and abdomen.

Xiao Hongchen quickly retreated, crossed his hands in front of him, formed a golden light shield, and took Chen Lu's attack head-on. The two of them moved as fast as lightning, and the battle became more and more intense.

Suddenly, Xiao Hongchen sneered, flipped his right hand, and a golden light quickly condensed into a huge golden war hammer, smashing towards Chen Lu.

A hint of surprise flashed across Chen Lu's eyes, but he did not panic. He exerted force with his legs and flew into the air, avoiding the fatal blow. Then, he kicked out with his legs like hammers, attacking Xiao Hongchen's chest.

Xiao Hongchen clenched the hammer with both hands and swung it upwards, blocking Chen Lu's attack. The huge impact made both of them step back a few steps, but their eyes were full of fighting passion and determination.

The atmosphere on the field reached a climax, the audience cheered one after another, and the fierce battle made their blood boil. Zheng Zhan stared at the field with bright eyes, nodding from time to time, expressing his approval of the two people's performance.

At this moment, Xiao Hongchen suddenly flashed, and the golden hammer in his hand quickly disappeared, replaced by a golden spear. He rushed forward, and the spear stabbed at Chen Lu like a poisonous snake.

Chen Lu's eyes condensed, and he kicked out with both legs, colliding with the spear, making a harsh metal friction sound. The two of them once again engaged in a fierce close combat, each move was fatal and merciless.

Xiao Hongchen's attacks became more and more fierce, and Chen Lu's defense became more and more tenacious. Both of them went all out in this battle, constantly surpassing their limits.

Finally, Xiao Hongchen used his ability to control metal elements to skillfully lead Chen Lu into a golden field. The golden light formed a solid barrier around Chen Lu, making it difficult for him to escape.

A hint of coldness flashed in Xiao Hongchen's eyes, and he swung the spear in his right hand violently. The golden light quickly condensed and turned into a golden dragon, rushing straight towards Chen Lu.

Chen Lu struggled hard, but the golden barrier was like a cage, trapping him in it. A trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes, but he knew that he had no chance of winning this battle.

The golden dragon slammed into Chen Lu. The powerful impact caused his body to shake and blood to spurt out of his mouth. His body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string and fell heavily to the ground.

Referee Zheng Zhan quickly stepped forward and announced: "Xiao Hongchen wins!"

The audience burst into thunderous applause and cheers, and the atmosphere in the arena reached its climax. Xiao Hongchen slowly retracted his spear, panting slightly, with a glimmer of satisfaction in his eyes. He knew that this battle was not only a test for himself, but also a battle of honor for the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.

Chen Lu was lying on the ground, with a little disappointment in his eyes, but more of admiration for Xiao Hongchen and deep reflection on his own strength. He knew that only by constantly surpassing himself could he be invincible in future battles.

In the Snow Demon Sect's waiting area, everyone was silent. Wang Yanfeng took the initiative to jump onto the stage and carried the seriously injured Chen Lu down. After examination, it was found that Chen Lu's calves were broken into three sections. This was not only a physical injury, but also a martial arts injury! It seemed that he would not be able to participate in the subsequent group battles. Fortunately, Chen Lu's own cultivation was quite strong, and his legs were also very strong. Although his legs were broken, his meridians were not seriously injured. After his companions set his bones, the pain was finally relieved.

Vina personally helped him recover with her Snow Lotus Martial Spirit. Even if he couldn't compete today, with her treatment, Chen Lu would be able to recover within a week by relying on his own control over his Martial Spirit.

Chen Lu's injury was not a big problem, but what about the next game? Xiao Hongchen had already won two games in a row. None of the Soul Emperor-level masters in the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy team had appeared yet. If this continued, the situation would be too unfavorable for the Snow Demon Sect.

Vina frowned. At this moment, a young man with a cold expression stood up from the Snow Demon Sect and said in a deep voice, "I'll do it."

Vina was stunned for a moment and met his eyes. The young man nodded to her, then flashed and went onto the competition stage.

When Zheng Zhan announced his victory, Xiao Hongchen had already started to recover his soul power. But when the young man from the Snow Demon Sect came on stage, he suddenly felt his scalp tingling, just like when he first saw Ying Qian.

A soul master under the age of twenty actually gave him a feeling of oppression as if he was being stared at by a ferocious beast. One could imagine how high this man's cultivation level was.

The young man from the Snow Demon Sect who came on stage was a burly man, nearly two meters tall, with broad shoulders and back, and bulging muscles. He had long brown-red hair parted in the middle, and the hair hanging down on both sides looked extremely smooth. His eyes were narrow and long, his gaze was cold, his nose was straight and his mouth was square. Although he was not particularly handsome, he seemed to have a bit of evil charm. What was even more strange was that his skin was very white, as crystal clear as jade. There was a faint glow under his skin, and his every move seemed very harmonious. A strong enemy! Xiao Hongchen immediately had the answer in his mind. He had a feeling that this person might be the real strong man in the Body Sect's team this time, and he might even be the strongest. Even when he was in his prime, he might not be able to beat him. After losing two games in a row, did the Body Sect finally send their captain?
The tall young man did not rush to the center of the field like the others to shorten the opponent's recovery time, but walked slowly towards Xiao Hongchen. However, with every step he took, the pressure he exuded would increase a little. His own momentum also rose a little.

Xiao Hongchen's face changed slightly. With his keen perception, he immediately felt the terrifying nature of this opponent. The fusion of the opponent's soul power and mental power had reached a state of smooth and seamless integration. It even surpassed him.

Xiao Hongchen's own mental power is definitely stronger than this opponent's, but his soul power is weaker, so he naturally has to be cautious when merging. And this opponent gave him the feeling that his soul power and mental power were completely indistinguishable from each other, like a whole. Xiao Hongchen had felt this situation before when his teacher deliberately revealed it.

Ying Qian once told him that only those who can do this have the opportunity to challenge the threshold of Super Douluo level 95, otherwise, no matter how good their talent and martial spirit are, their achievements will only stop at the Titled Douluo level.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Hongchen calmed himself down. He stared at his opponent with a burning gaze, a layer of light gold emanated from his eyes and quickly spread throughout his body. The pure mental fluctuations rolled back towards the opponent like a raging storm. I am not as good as you in fusion, so I will use my strongest mental power to fight you. In terms of momentum, I must not lose to my opponent.

A hint of surprise flashed in the tall young man's eyes. He paused for a moment before continuing to walk towards Xiao Hongchen.

Unbreakable Douluo Zheng Zhan did not stop the two from looking at each other. Deep in his eyes, there was only shock.

He could clearly feel that these two young men, whose cultivation was far inferior to his, had completely surpassed him in some realms. Is this the level that the best young generation of strong men can achieve? Zheng Zhan was absolutely sure. As long as they were given enough time to grow up, their achievements in the future would far exceed his own.

"Both parties use the same name." Zheng Zhan said in a deep voice.

"Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, Xiao Hongchen."

"Snow Demon Sect, Long Aotian." The tall young man said in a deep voice.

"Both sides stand back. Prepare for the game."

"Both sides step back. Prepare for the competition." Zheng Zhan's voice echoed in the arena.

Long Aotian and Xiao Hongchen quickly retreated to the designated position, their eyes intertwined, their fighting spirit awe-inspiring. With Zheng Zhan's order, the competition officially began.

The dark golden long sword in Xiao Hongchen's hand instantly appeared, his first soul ring lit up, and the sword light suddenly burst out, going straight to Long Aotian. Long Aotian snorted coldly, and his first soul ring flashed. His body quickly expanded and became more sturdy, just like the demon ape transformation. He swung his right arm suddenly, and collided head-on with Xiao Hongchen's sword light.

The collision of the two forces caused a loud noise to explode in the air, shocking the people in the surrounding audience seats to lean back involuntarily. Long Aotian took advantage of the situation and attacked fiercely. His second soul ring, Golden God Fury, was activated. His right arm turned into a dark golden long sword, and his left arm turned into a dark golden hammer. He pounced on Xiao Hongchen like a beast.

Xiao Hongchen retreated quickly, his hands forming seals quickly, and the shadow of a three-legged golden toad appeared behind him. Metal spikes instantly appeared on the ground, blocking Long Aotian's attack. However, Long Aotian's third soul skill, the power of dark gold, had already been activated, and a dark golden luster appeared on the surface of his skin. He broke through the metal spikes and continued to approach Xiao Hongchen.

Xiao Hongchen's expression changed slightly, and his fourth soul ring lit up. He swung his long sword fiercely, and the sword light turned into a rain of swords, covering Long Aotian. Long Aotian sneered, and his fourth soul ring also lit up. His body suddenly rose up, and his arms turned into giant axes, which was the Mad God Slash. The giant axe chopped down and directly broke through Xiao Hongchen's rain of swords, and the axe blade approached Xiao Hongchen's face.

At this critical moment, Xiao Hongchen gritted his teeth, slammed the ground with both hands, and his fifth soul ring lit up. The metal elements quickly condensed into a thick shield in front of him, blocking Long Aotian's giant axe.

Long Aotian paused, quickly retreated, and spun around. The black fifth soul ring lit up, and he turned into a whirlwind, soaring into the sky, and then fell from the sky, rushing towards Xiao Hongchen with destructive momentum. Seeing this, Xiao Hongchen quickly released his sixth soul skill, and the metal elements on the ground quickly condensed into a solid metal forest, trying to block Long Aotian's attack.

Long Aotian did not pause, his sixth soul skill, the Yan Shen Claw, was activated instantly. His right arm turned into a dark golden claw, tearing the metal forest apart fiercely. The claw marks passed through the air, bringing with them a sharp gust of wind, heading straight for Xiao Hongchen.

Seeing that he had no way to avoid it, Xiao Hongchen suddenly crossed his hands, and a huge three-legged golden toad appeared behind him, opening its mouth and spewing out a golden beam of light, facing Long Aotian's claws head-on. The two collided head-on again, and a sharp roar broke out.

As the battle reached a white-hot stage, Long Aotian's seventh soul ring martial spirit body lit up, his figure suddenly rose to ten meters, his skin turned jade-colored, and his strength and defense were greatly improved. He stomped the ground hard, and the entire arena seemed to be shaken. His arms turned into giant axes again, and he slashed towards Xiao Hongchen with unmatched momentum.

Xiao Hongchen's face was solemn. He knew that he had no way out. The shadow of the three-legged golden toad behind him also expanded, and the whole body became extremely huge. The golden light illuminated the entire arena. His hands turned into claws and confronted Long Aotian's giant axe head-on.

Amid the roar, Long Aotian's giant axe and Xiao Hongchen's golden claws collided fiercely in the air, bursting out with brilliant light. In the end, Long Aotian relied on his absolute strength to suppress Xiao Hongchen's claws with his giant axe, forcing him to retreat several steps.

Xiao Hongchen gasped for breath, knowing that he was no longer able to fight, he raised his hands helplessly, signaling his defeat. Seeing this, Zheng Zhan quickly announced the end of the match, and Long Aotian won.

After defeating two opponents in succession, Xiao Hongchen was finally defeated by Long Aotian, the strongest of the younger generation of the Body Sect. In this battle, Long Aotian did not use his full strength, but he was still injured by Xiao Hongchen's last blow.

Meng Hongchen rushed to the competition stage at the first opportunity and came to Xiao Hongchen. Xiao Hongchen smiled at her and indicated that she was fine. Just as Meng Hongchen wanted to push him off the stage, Long Aotian suddenly said, "Wait a minute."
