Peerless: Gu Master Transforms Douluo.

Xu Sanshi: Shall we continue fighting?

Beibei: Let's try it first, and we'll see if it works.

Xu Sanshi winked and said: "It's easy for you to talk when you're not the one suffering!"
Beibei: I'm the team leader!

Xu Sanshi: ...

And so, the two finished exchanging glances.

In terms of combat power alone, Xu Sanshi, who is only at the Soul Emperor level, is no match for Bei Bei, who is at the Soul Saint level.

Xu Sanshi's advantage lies in his skill set.

With mobility, control, defense, and mechanics, this guy's soul skill configuration is truly disgusting. To defeat him, you basically have to rely on raw strength.

But that's exactly what they wanted.

Even if Long Aotian, a Soul Saint, came, it would take a lot of effort and a huge consumption of soul power to break through Xu Sanshi's tortoise shell.

Unfortunately, Xu Sanshi, who was heavily guarded, encountered Meng Hongchen.

With their stats roughly equal, Meng Hongchen gained the upper hand with the Ice and Fire Poison.

Other Soul Masters, unless they possess the Ultimate Ice, would suffer a defeat if poisoned by the Crimson-Eyed Ice Toad, even if they were Title Douluos.

Xu Sanshi can delay the poisoning time to some extent by relying on his powerful martial soul with the bloodline of a divine beast, but the key is that he is not top-notch in terms of attack power.

This immediately made the outcome uncertain.

Among Meng Hongchen's strengths, there is also his signature skill: the Soul Guidance Device.

This made Xu Sanshi very upset.

He was actually regretting it now. He should have been more shameless and asked Yuhao for a battle armor to play with, or even a close-combat soul tool.

I thought that with a Soul Saint-level Bei Bei, getting the runner-up position in the Soul Master Competition would be a piece of cake. Who knew that this year's Soul Saints were like a wholesale commodity.

Beibei needs to deal with Xiao Hongchen.

Therefore, Meng Hongchen can only be left to Xu Sanshi to handle depending on the situation.

This is all preparation for the subsequent team fights. If we can take this opportunity to eliminate the opponent's core, then the subsequent team fights will be very simple.

It remains to be seen whether the Sun and Moon team will accept the challenge.

Battles between Soul Masters, when both sides are of similar strength, are essentially intelligence battles.

Choosing Xu Sanshi as the third player in the individual competition was a blatant and aboveboard strategy by Bei Bei.

If the Sun and Moon team wants to win through team battles, they must score at least three points in individual battles.

Xu Sanshi was the goalkeeper for this third point.

Beibei, who knows her best friend very well, knows that as long as the Hongchen siblings don't enter the fray early, Xu Sanshi is practically unbeatable.

The Sun and Moon warriors were unable to break through Xu Sanshi's defenses head-on.

Moreover, this guy is both tough and has good control.

Even against speed-type Soul Masters who seem to be a strong counter to Xu Sanshi, Xu Sanshi can easily defeat them by relying on his sixth Soul Skill, Xuanwu Domain, and his third Soul Skill, Xuanwu Summoning.

Silently observing the situation on the field, Xiao Hongchen's heart sank.

He knew this was Shrek's open scheme.

The crucial point is that Xiao Hongchen had no choice but to send his younger sister to beat up Xu Sanshi.

In a battle of ace against ace, he himself needs to keep an eye on BeiBei.

The Sun and Moon team is completely weaker than Shrek in terms of overall strength. If they continue to let their opponents wear them down, how will they compete in the subsequent team matches without enough players?
Could it be that they're going to start by having themselves and their sister achieve a 2-for-7 victory in the individual competition and crush Shrek Academy in one fell swoop?

This is obviously impossible.

Their only chance of winning is in the team competition.

That's why Xiao Hongchen chose to weaken his opponents through individual elimination rounds and then win the team competition.

Once you defeat three opponents, you can request to enter the team battle.

This strategy is undoubtedly the best.

Unfortunately, Beibei saw through it.

That's how we ended up in the current situation.

Xiao Hongchen can only pin his hopes on his younger sister, hoping that her domineering poison will allow her to defeat Xu Sanshi while preserving some of his own fighting strength.

Only in this way can they rely on the "Love of the Mortal World" martial soul fusion skill to achieve a comeback in the team competition.

As the individual elimination rounds reached their climax, the audience unconsciously sat up straight, eagerly watching the two players who were already locked in a fierce battle.

"Game start!"

Meng Hongchen moved the moment Zheng Zhan shouted the start of the match.

She released her martial spirit immediately.

A layer of magnificent ice blue instantly spread across her entire body, her azure eyes were covered in blood red, and spirit rings rose from beneath her.

Four purple and two black spirit rings rose up instantly.

A deafening roar of cheers then echoed through the sky.

"Dream of the mortal world! Dream of the mortal world!"

With their team on the verge of collapse, the viewers, feeling overwhelmed, desperately needed someone to provide emotional support.

Meng Hongchen, a national goddess, is undoubtedly a timely rain!
He possesses top-tier talent, unparalleled beauty, and a powerful background; his only shortcoming is that his cultivation level is somewhat lacking and he hasn't reached the Soul Saint level.

But this exceptional soul ring configuration makes up for it. No matter where the soul spirit came from, as long as it's strong, that's all that matters!

Seeing the sensation caused by Meng Hongchen, Xu Sanshi felt a tightness in his heart.

Wow, it's only been a few days, how come Meng Hongchen's first soul ring, which was originally only yellow, has turned into purple?
Such a high degree of compatibility is truly terrifying.

Fortunately, his martial soul and the tortoiseshell were also very compatible.

Despite his surprise, Xu Sanshi did not stop his actions in the slightest.

The attack still started with the conventional Xuanwu power.

The third spirit ring rippled out the instant the Xuanwu Shield spirit was released. From releasing the spirit to releasing the spirit skill, it was almost instantaneous. This seemed simple, but it was actually a very high-level technique.

The pitch-black Xuanwu power and the icy blue ice poison ring began to collide.

Xu Sanshi preemptively revealed his hand.

Divine beast bloodline talent, soul ring combination!

His first three spirit rings instantly combined into one.

Combination Soul Skill: Xuanwu Roar!
The quick-thinking Xu Sanshi had already decided on the strategy for this match: a surprise quick attack.

You think I'm going to defend and stall for time, but actually I'm going to attack!
The longer the competition drags on, the deeper the poisoning becomes.

If I can control Meng Hongchen with Xuanwu's Roar, and then finish him off with Turtle God's Strike, I'm guaranteed to win.

However, to the surprise of Xu Sanshi and even Zheng Zhan, who was the referee, something was unexpected.

At this moment, Meng Hongchen showed no intention of dodging.

Instead, they activated an invincible shield to buy time.

As her body shimmered with an icy blue light, armor-like soul tools shot out from her storage soul tool and covered her body.

The soul tool armor combined to form a magnificent humanoid soul tool, and its aura, belonging to the Soul Saint level, swept across the entire field.

Battle armor!

And so it was at the Soul Master Competition that he made his debut.

Even if placed in the era of Dragon King Legend ten thousand years later, this is only a thousand-forged level one-word battle armor, and it cannot be completely integrated with the user or the martial soul.

But without a doubt, with the support of the battle armor, Meng Hongchen already possesses the combat power of a Soul Saint in his normal state.

"This is... a humanoid soul tool!?"

On the podium, Xu Tianran couldn't sit still any longer. He suddenly stood up and stared intently at the scene unfolding on the competition stage.

Has Mingde Hall's soul guidance technology developed to such an extent?
This humanoid soul tool is worlds apart from the previous bulky soul tool armor!
Not to mention Xu Tianran, even Jing Hongchen was taken aback.

Isn't this the battle armor of the Spirit Pagoda? How come something that's still just a theoretical concept is actually appearing on his granddaughter?

Is this reasonable?

Jing Hongchen subconsciously thought of Huo Yuhao.

The only possibility is that Yuhao gave this battle armor to Meng Hongchen.

This is simply...fantastic!!
I actually received such immense wealth!
If he weren't on the podium, Jing Hongchen would have loved to raise his fist and loudly proclaim his sharp eye for talent.

He could only feel a secret satisfaction, keeping a straight face and refusing to tell the person on the platform who was trying to probe him, "Mingde Hall is a secret, I cannot disclose it."

On the competition stage.

Xu Sanshi stared wide-eyed, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Wait, isn't something wrong with this script?

Shouldn't he be the one to defeat Meng Hongchen by surprise, and then trample Xiao Hongchen underfoot, making a name for himself in the Soul Master Competition?
As a result, Meng Hongchen disregarded martial ethics and used his battle armor.

Isn't this the secret weapon of our own Spirit Pagoda?

How did it end up in Meng Hongchen's body?

Xu Sanshi had reason to suspect that he had been set up by Huo Yuhao.

This is so frustrating!
at this point.

Either admit defeat outright, or go all out.

Xu Sanshi's choice is to continue struggling!
The sixth soul skill, the domain of Xuanwu!
While granting themselves a 100% boost, the water element within the domain exerts both mental and physical pressure on opponents within it.

Due to the limitations of the domain, even with the support of the battle armor, Meng Hongchen's body became somewhat sluggish at this moment.

Xu Sanshi has completed his final preparations.

Fifth Soul Skill: Turtle God Ram!

A massive, pitch-black soul force accumulated, and the Xuanwu Shield, which had originally been divided into a dozen shield pieces, suddenly enlarged by a size, and then combined into a gigantic Xuanwu Shield.

The veins on Xu Sanshi's neck bulged, and his feet stomped in battle as he propelled the Xuanwu Shield forward with the surging power of the Xuanwu!

Power!

The indescribable sense of power was unparalleled at this moment, making the audience feel their hearts surge.

Meng Hongchen, facing the Turtle God's charge head-on, was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, appearing so insignificant in front of the massive Xuanwu Shield.

Such visual effects have put supporters on the edge of their seats.

Are you going to lose?

This armor-like soul tool seemed so vulnerable in front of Xu Sanshi; it lost in terms of sheer force of will.

Meng Hongchen could feel the Xuanwu soul power appearing around her, like undercurrents, frantically washing over her and even interfering with the circulation of her soul power.

Being in the Xuanwu Domain, her strength was reduced by at least 30%, her body was severely restricted, and even moving became a problem.

This is the terrifying aspect of domain skills.

Of course, this is on the premise that one is not wearing battle armor.

With the weakening effect of the battle armor, coupled with Meng Hongchen's fourth soul skill, Ice Feedback, which uses fire as its source, it activates the poison of the Ice Toad to feed back to itself.

While it can't be described as a gentle breeze, the impact has been reduced by at least 50%.

Faced with Xu Sanshi's fierce attack.

Meng Hongchen gently raised the Sihao Sword in her right hand, and the blade lit up with red and blue lights, with fire and ice intertwined within, shining brightly.

In an instant, Meng Hongchen's speed surged, as if he had become one with the sword, and with a sudden struggle, he broke free from the constraints of the Xuanwu Domain.

A flash of red light appeared in her eyes, and she used her sixth soul skill.

Ice and fire poison!

With the amplification of the battle armor, the innate soul skill of this Zhu Qing Ice Toad is so potent that even a Title Douluo would have to avoid its edge.

And so, a terrifying sword beam, its red and blue colors constantly shifting, carrying an incomparably terrifying pressure, as if it were about to sever the world, collided with the tortoise god, which was enveloped in dark soul power, and clashed with Xu Sanshi.

Boom!

The intense energy fluctuations erupted as a terrifying storm.

The intense heat and extreme cold swept outwards, accompanied by a potent toxin, completely corroding the Xuanwu's all-out power.

The earth trembled, and the heavens and earth seemed to change color.

For a moment, the soul-guided shield on the arena flickered continuously, as if it were about to shatter at any moment.

Seeing that things were not going well, Zheng Zhan immediately went into battle and deployed his soul tool defense.

Fortunately, Zheng Zhan intervened in time, otherwise Yan Shaozhe would have had to step in and rescue Xu Sanshi. With his Super Douluo perspective, he could already tell that Xu Sanshi had lost.

Zheng Zhan looked at the shield in his hand, which was corroded by ice, fire and poison, and felt like crying: "My level nine soul tool! It will cost a lot of money to repair. Can I ask Mingde to reimburse me?"
Under Zheng Zhan's protection, Xu Sanshi, whose soul power was almost exhausted and who was poisoned by ice and fire, swayed involuntarily and his vision went black.

Damn it, the toxin has become even stronger!?
Xu Sanshi then fell into a peaceful sleep.

As for Meng Hongchen, who won this competition.

Before she could even enjoy the cheers of the audience, she too collapsed to the ground, unconscious, and hadn't even had time to retract her battle armor.

Although he won the match, Meng Hongchen had also given it his all, exhausting his soul power and body, and was no longer able to continue fighting.

Meng Hongchen: Children, this is my escape route!

At this level of combat, even if you hold back, you can't hold back too much, otherwise you won't be able to unleash your true strength.

The reason Meng Hongchen used the battle armor given to him by Huo Yuhao seemed to be for the sake of the team, but in fact he had already handed over the victory.

However, the chances of the Sun and Moon team winning were never high to begin with.

So what about a Martial Soul Fusion Skill?
Shrek Academy isn't without its own invincible shields for defense.

As expected, this invincible shield should be banned!
Even if the Sun and Moon team truly triumphs after overcoming all obstacles, it's really not that great; it's uncertain whether the Sun and Moon Empire will even exist in the future.

Just like Grandpa said, let's not ruin the harmony.

Meng Hongchen also has something to say.

Does that mean I haven't tried my best since I eliminated Xu Sanshi?
As for Brother Lao, well, I wish him good luck.

Seeing the situation of the two, Zheng Zhan announced the result of the match at the right time.

Shrek's side was worried about how to cure Xu Sanshi's poison.

Huo Yuhao intervened in time to pull the opponent back from the brink of death, which meant that Xu Sanshi would miss the subsequent team battle.

Taking this opportunity, Beibei strategically conceded defeat.

"Referee, Shrek Academy forfeits the individual elimination rounds and will proceed directly to team battles."

We absolutely cannot give Meng Hongchen any room to maneuver!
In order to speed up the repair of the competition venue, Yan Shaozhe even volunteered to clean up the highly toxic competition stage.

The team battle has begun!
The score between Shrek and Sun & Moon teams is 5 to 7, with Sun & Moon team in the lead.

Xiao Hongchen:...

Oh no, this is aimed at him.

He had no words to express his suffering at that moment.

My sister can't participate in the battle right now, so what's the point of this team battle?
No surprises at all.

Without the protection of the Red Dust Attachment Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Xiao Hongchen alone is no match for Bei Bei of Shrek Academy, who is empowered by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Sun Moon Royal Academy lost to Shrek Academy once again.

Xiao Hongchen fought to the very last moment, like a lone hero.

It's all burned out.

All the spectators approved of the match.

I acknowledge Xiao Hongchen's fighting spirit until the very last moment.

The sun and moon may have lost, but the mortal siblings did not! (End of Chapter)
