Douluo: Twins of Fate

Chapter 114 Victory in the first battle
Meng Hongchen dodged back and forth among the artillery fire from He Caitou, looking for an opportunity to attack.

Although He Caitou unleashed a massive attack like the incarnation of destruction in the ring match, Meng Hongchen was one level higher than him in cultivation and was also a soul engineer, so the suppression he faced was not as strong as imagined.

Even with such a vigorous attack like He Caitou's, the audience was the most affected.

Many people in the audience saw such a soul guide bombing attack for the first time, especially the bombing of the Sun and Moon Empire people. Many people cheered and said it was exciting.

Soon, Meng Hongchen discovered the brief pause in He Caitou's attack. She shot out and arrived in front of He Caitou in the blink of an eye. But just as she slapped He Caitou with her palm, the originally normal He Caitou suddenly put on several cannons and turned himself into a human cannon base.

The muzzle of the gun on his chest lit up, and a soul guide beam with a power comparable to that of a fifth-level soul guide device quickly shot out.

When Meng Hongchen saw this, his pupils shrank and he immediately lowered his head and crouched to defend, thus avoiding the oncoming attack.

Xiao Hongchen, who was below, saw this and clenched his fists, cursing, "You little bastard, you actually..."

"Calm down and trust Senior Sister Hongchen." Jiang Shengyu patted Xiao Hongchen's shoulder to calm him down.

"Nonsense, of course I believe my sister!"

Xiao Hongchen shook off Jiang Shengyu's hand, stared intently at He Caitou on the field, and said, "I always feel that his soul guide technology is a bit like our Sun Moon Empire..."

"Is there?" Hearing Xiao Hongchen's words, Jiang Shengyu looked at He Caitou, then shook his head and said, "I can't see it."

Xiao Hongchen glanced at Jiang Shengyu and said, "Of course you can't see it. You don't study soul guidance technology much!"

Although Jiang Shengyu led the innovation and development of soul guide technology in the Sun-Moon Empire, he only proposed various ideas and new technological concepts, and the specific implementation was still done by the soul guide technology researchers of Mingde Hall.

He himself did not actually have an in-depth study of soul guide technology.

Huo Yuhao, who was standing behind the two men, continued, "I've noticed too. The soul-guiding rays used by this man called He Caitou do have some traces of Sun-Moon Empire technology in them."

Xiao Hongchen frowned and asked curiously, "How could the people from Shrek Academy master our technology? Did you ask Qingtong to reveal it to them?"

Jiang Shengyu shook his head. How could he possibly reveal the soul guidance technology that Shrek Academy could master? As for the ninth-level soul guidance device, the people of Shrek Academy couldn't even understand it, let alone study it.

The technological gap was there! The most they could do was create a shell. And for a soul guide, a shell was the most useless thing.

Jiang Shengyu said to them, "He Caitou's real name is Xu He."

"Xu He?"

Xiao Hongchen was stunned when Jiang Shengyu suddenly mentioned He Caitou's real name. If it were under normal circumstances, he wouldn't think there was anything wrong, as there were many people with the surname Xu.

But in this situation, Xiao Hongchen quickly realized the problem: "You mean..."

Jiang Shengyu nodded and continued, "He is from the royal family of the Sun-Moon Empire. His parents once fled with him to the three kingdoms that originally belonged to the Douluo Continent due to internal strife within the royal family. I believe that when they fled, they must have taken a certain amount of soul guides and related technologies with them."

After all, they are the royal family. The things they can master and access are not comparable to those of ordinary people. Hearing Jiang Shengyu say this, Xiao Hongchen looked at He Caitou with disdain in his eyes: "So that's how it is! He is unworthy of being a royal family!"

"He doesn't consider himself a member of the royal family of the Sun-Moon Empire. To him, Shrek Academy feels like home." Jiang Shengyu said to Xiao Hongchen again.

"A feeling of home? It all depends on his identity! If he was an ordinary Sun-Moon Empire citizen, or if he didn't provide those soul guide techniques, would Shrek Academy even look at him?" Xiao Hongchen snorted coldly with a look of disdain.

On the stage, Meng Hongchen was forced back by He Caitou's hidden soul guide ray, but her reaction was far superior to He Caitou's. Although she was a registered soul guide, Meng Hongchen, like Xiao Hongchen, was still a soul master with extraordinary talent!
He Caitou's attacks gradually weakened in the later stages, his soul guide shells were exhausted, and his energy beams could not be launched due to the depletion of soul power. As a food-type soul master, he was unable to compete with Meng Hongchen without the support of his soul guide.

Meng Hongchen kicked him off the ring.

Wang Yan quickly ran over and helped He Caitou up, and asked with concern: "Caitou, how do you feel? Are you okay?"

He Caitou shook his head and said, "I just consumed too much soul power, everything else is fine."

Wang Yan nodded and helped He Caitou back to the rest area. After the two returned, Xiao Xiao took a deep breath, walked out of the rest area, and stepped onto the stage.

"Xiao Xiao, a reserve member of Shrek Academy, a level 30 control-type combat soul master!" Xiao Xiao stood opposite Meng Hongchen and reported his identity and level to her.

Meng Hongchen nodded to Xiao Xiao. After Huang Jinxu announced the start of the competition, she was the first to release her martial soul. Although she had just fought with He Caitou, her soul power consumption was not very large.

Xiao Xiao did not hesitate at all and directly released the Three Lives Soul-Calming Cauldron and the Nine Phoenixes Flute. Two hundred-year-old soul rings floated up, and the sound of the flute coordinated with the Three Lives Soul-Calming Cauldron to prevent Meng Hongchen from getting close.

"Twin martial souls!"

Seeing Xiao Xiao displaying two martial spirits, the audience's cheers became louder and louder.

Watching Xiao Xiao skillfully using her twin martial spirits to battle Meng Hongchen, Dai Hao's gaze pierced as he exclaimed, "As expected of Shrek Academy! Such fighting prowess at such a young age!"

Xiao Xiao only reached level 30 after arriving in Xingluo City. She didn't have time to add soul rings. She relied on her two-ring soul skills to fight against Meng Hongchen, who had four rings. Even with twin martial souls, she soon fell into a disadvantage.

Meng Hongchen's martial soul, the Zhuqing Ice Toad, was poisonous, but she didn't use it against Xiao Xiao. Under her powerful suppression, Xiao Xiao's soul power gradually weakened. After all, she was distracted by controlling the release of her two martial souls!

Meng Hongchen slapped away the San Sheng Soul-Suppressing Cauldron that was rushing towards her. Although she herself retreated a few steps due to the counterattack, the San Sheng Soul-Suppressing Cauldron was pushed directly towards Xiao Xiao.

During the flight, the San Sheng Soul-Suppressing Cauldron dissipated, and Xiao Xiao's soul power was completely exhausted.

Meng Hongchen panted as the teacher below kept recording Xiao Xiao's combat data. She said to Xiao Xiao, "You've done everything you could, Xiao Xiao. You're great."

Meng Hongchen has not forgotten about Jiang Qingtong. If Shrek Academy wants to kidnap their people, why can't they kidnap people from Shrek Academy?

Hearing Meng Hongchen praising her, Xiao Xiao was stunned for a moment, her face flushed slightly. After taking a deep breath, she said to Meng Hongchen, "Thank you!"
