Douluo: Starting from the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon

Chapter 360 Four Kitchen Knives
"Ah~"

Xiong Lai yawned, looking like he was too lazy to move.

His appearance is due not only to the influence of the sloth spirit itself on the soul master, but also to the influence of the artifact, the Soul of Laziness, which is the main factor.

The Soul of Laziness, as the name suggests, is to imprint one's lazy nature into one's soul, which will have an effect on both oneself and enemies. This is why Feng Xiaotian suddenly became lazy.

The reason why the Sloth Soul is not suitable for large-scale team battles is simply because it cannot distinguish between friend and foe and becomes extremely lazy as long as it is within the range of the artifact's effect.

"It's such a hassle. Luckily, I've gotten used to it over the years, otherwise I really wouldn't want to take a single step."

The Soul of Laziness is not only an intangible artifact, but also an extremely rare soul-type artifact.

The effects of the artifact also directly target the soul. If you want to get rid of the influence of the Sloth Soul, you can only do so by using absolute power to forcefully break through it, or by using an artifact of the same soul type.

As for soul-type artifacts, there is only one in the entire divine realm: the Soul of Sloth.

This information was highlighted in the inheritance of the God of Sloth's position, precisely to tell the inheritor of the God of Sloth how rare and precious the Soul of Sloth is among the many divine artifacts in the divine realm.

As fellow Soul Saints with similar strength, Xiong Lai didn't believe Feng Xiaotian could escape the influence of the Soul of Laziness.

"The soul of laziness..."

In a corner of the stands, Lin Rong silently watched this scene.

He possesses the Dragon Roar of Exorcism and the protection of the Dragon Soul, making him immune to the influence of the Slothful Soul; it's just that others...

"Yun Hui, are you absolutely certain?"

Upon receiving the telepathic message, Yunhui pondered for a moment, then replied definitively via telepathy:

"Please rest assured, young master, I am absolutely confident that I have it."

A few minutes later, Xiong Lai, under the influence of the Sloth Soul, finally crossed the arena and walked up to Feng Xiaotian.

"Phew, we've finally arrived."

His original intention was to seriously injure Feng Xiaotian, but that would be too troublesome. He would have to control his strength and consider other things. He was too lazy to worry about it and too lazy to do it. It would be easier to simply eliminate his opponent.

So, Xiong Lai mustered his strength and used all his might to overcome the laziness ingrained in his soul, finally managing to raise his fist and strike Feng Xiaotian.

Although the force of the punch was not great, it was only relative. As expected, Feng Xiaotian, who was standing at the edge of the ring, was knocked out of the ring area.

The power of the Sloth Soul only covered the arena; Feng Xiaotian immediately reverted to his true nature after being knocked out of the arena.

He did nothing and lost in such a muddle. The contrast between his laziness on the stage and the effect of overcoming laziness made Feng Xiaotian unable to help but angrily retort:
"Damn! What a crappy artifact!"

The Four Elements Academy, which drew the first lot, lost, and next up is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which drew the second lot.

Yun Hui stood up and stopped when he was about to step into the ring, extending his hand first.

The absence of the Lazy Soul effect suggests that the Eat & Drink team is adhering to the tournament rules.

After surveying the area, Yun Hui confidently stepped forward, placing his feet one in front of the other on the arena.

The activation of the divine artifacts takes time. The moment Yun Hui stepped onto the arena, both she and Xiong Lai immediately used the power of the divine artifacts.

The spirit of laziness once again filled the arena.

However, the powers of the four divine artifacts—Heart of Kindness, Scales of Judgment, Love Under the Moon, and Ancient Tree of Life—are activated simultaneously.

Purple, purple, purple, purple, black, black, red
The seven super-limited spirit rings radiated purple, black, and red light, intertwining together, as did the spirit rings themselves.

Talent Skill: Fusion Ring!

Yun Hui herself did not possess this innate skill, but her older sister Anna did. Through the fusion of the black and white twin flowers, Yun Hui not only gained Anna's martial soul and soul power, but also everything her sister possessed, including her innate skill, Ring Fusion.

Four thousand-year soul rings, two ten-thousand-year soul rings, and one hundred-thousand-year soul ring.

The soul power pressure unleashed by the fusion of these seven soul rings reached the level of a Title Douluo, and not just any Title Douluo. Although it did not reach the level of a 95th-level Title Douluo, it was still between 92 and 93.

The combined power of the four divine artifacts and the power of the fusion ring created an absolutely powerful force that directly broke through the domain of the Soul of Sloth covering the arena.

"Four kinds of divine power fluctuations?"

Xiong Lai was shocked and quickly bit his tongue hard, using the pain to shut down the influence of the Sloth Soul on himself.

"And what's with the fusion ring? What's going on?"

"No, I admit it..."

Having just escaped the influence of his lazy spirit, his thinking was still somewhat sluggish. By the time Xiong Lai realized something was wrong, it was already too late.

The power of the Fusion Rings was concentrated in the fifth Soul Ring.

Fifth Soul Skill: Burying Flowers!
Black and white petals fluttered in the air before Xiong Lai's eyes, then everything went black, and that was the end of it.

"Second, done. Minimum expected completion of the task."

After Xiong Lai was sent off the stage, according to the order of the draw, it was the turn of the Eat & Drink team, which had the third draw.

This is the seventh round, and the Eating and Drinking Team has already lost six members, averaging one loss per round in the previous six rounds.

Therefore, the only person left who can appear in the Eating and Drinking Team is the team leader, Yi Shuihan.

"The fusion of the rings consumes a tremendous amount of soul power, so she should be no match for me. As long as I defeat her, the rest are not worth worrying about."

Yi Shuihan cheered himself up in his heart, and in a daze, he seemed to see the finals waving to him.

After stepping onto the arena, he did not release his martial soul rings, but instead took out four small kitchen knives:

The Roar of the God of Flames—Zhengyang Blade.

The whisper of the winds of freedom—the Arrogant Heaven Blade.

The dawn that pierces heaven and earth—the Holy Radiance Blade.

The curse of eternal hell—the Demon-Devouring Blade.

Fire, wind, light, and darkness—four pseudo-super artifacts with different attributes.

Yi Shuihan's martial soul is just an ordinary kitchen knife, and his soul skills are mostly related to a chef's knife skills. Therefore, his combat power does not lie in his martial soul, but relies entirely on the divine artifact inherited from the God of Emotions.

However, although he did not release his spirit rings, the pressure of his released spirit power was enough to tell that it was the spirit power pressure of a spirit beast.

"Level 77! Is your soul power that high?"

Yun Hui sensed Yi Shuihan's soul power level and was slightly startled.

She has a 100,000-year-old bloodline innate soul ring, but her soul power is only level 74.5, which is only half a level lower than Feng Xiaotian's level 75 before.

But now, a contestant in the competition actually has a high-level Soul Saint of level 77.

Yi Shuihan noticed the faint surprise on Yun Hui's face and assumed that the surprise was due to the four divine artifacts surrounding him.

He was unaware that Yun Hui already knew he possessed at least three or four divine artifacts. The key to his surprise lay not in the artifacts themselves, but in his soul power level.
