Douluo Jueshi: Picking up Firefly at the Beginning

Chapter 100 Snow Girl, Awesome! (4k)

The person who is called teacher by Orange and is also an eighth-level soul mentor is of course Gu Yuena’s teacher, Xuan Ziwen.

"If students have a competition, as a teacher, of course I have to come and watch."

Xuan Ziwen pushed his glasses and said calmly.

"Then teacher, you must watch carefully, Gu Yue is very strong."

Orange looked down at Gu Yuena's position, with pride in his eyes.

"Oh, is it so?"

Xuan Ziwen only knew that Gu Yuena was very talented in soul guides. He also watched the soul guide competition yesterday. Gu Yuena made him very satisfied, but he didn't know what achievements Gu Yuena had made in combat.

……

To facilitate the competition for students.

The competition venue has been divided into small arenas to ensure that each arena does not interfere with each other and at the same time does not affect the audience's viewing experience.

To be honest, with Liu Xing's current level of cultivation, it is really bullying for him to participate in the first-year competition, but who told them not to participate in the upgrade assessment? In terms of status, they are indeed still first-years.

There are about 400 first-grade contestants participating in this competition.

In order to facilitate the orderly and efficient progress of the competition, the Soul Master Competition is divided into eight groups in total.

Each group will first be screened independently to determine the group leader, and then the eight group leaders will be re-drawn, and three games will be played to determine the final winner.

After all, there are too many first-grade students, and this method is the fastest.

By the time the contestants arrived at the Soul Guide Trial Field, the competition groups had already been divided and posted on the bulletin board at the entrance, and they could see it as soon as they entered the Soul Guide Trial Field.

Meteor quickly saw his group, which was the second group, while Firefly was in the third group.

"No way? Why am I in the same group with Liuying? It's over!"

Xu Tianzhen held his head and looked up at the sky in silence.

Liuxing took a look at the groups of the others. Except for Liuying and Xu Tianzhen who were in one group, Nana and Ye Guyi were in another group, while he and Xue Nu were in a separate group.

It seems that these people will meet in the quarterfinals.

This elimination-based competition, in order to speed up the process, can't be said to be very fair. With Nana and Xu Tianzhen's strength, it's no problem for them to enter the quarterfinals. After all, this is only the first grade! Most of the students are still first-level soul masters!
Once they entered the trial grounds, teachers would arrange for them to enter the competition venue.

Meteor stood on the ring, looking at the black-clad teenager across from him. The teenager had a look of despair on his face. "I'm going to fight Meteor? Really?"
Soon the referee came on stage and announced the rules of the game.

After both sides introduced themselves, the competition officially began.

Although the young man in black was a student of the Soul Guidance Department, he had also heard of Meteor's name. Without saying a word, he took the initiative and quickly ran to the edge of the ring.

He stretched out his arms, and amidst clanging sounds, two dark metal gun barrels were already in his hands, firing a series of soul-guided beams towards the meteor.

Increase the distance and launch long-range bombardment, which is the soul master's standard method of play.

Meteor curled his lips, feeling that this competition was a bit boring!

His figure was as fast as lightning, crossing a distance of dozens of meters in an instant. Without even releasing his martial spirit, he put his knife on the neck of the young man in black.

The spectators outside the stadium felt that the game was over just as it began.

On the podium, Jing Hongchen shook his head and said, "It was a mistake. We shouldn't have let them participate in the first-grade competition."

Lin Jiayi on the side rolled his eyes and was speechless. Let alone the first graders, apart from the members of Mingde Hall, if you asked him to beat the fifth and sixth graders, he would just pin them to the ground and beat them.

He was able to defeat Ji Juechen when he was a Soul Master, and now he is a Soul Sect leader. Lin Jiayi suspects that even a sixth-level Soul Master might be able to defeat Meteor.

The first-year opponents were too weak. Meteor didn't even release his martial spirit throughout the entire process, but he advanced directly as the first in the group.

……

About two quarters of an hour passed.

The competitions of the other seven groups ended one after another.

As Liuxing expected, Xue Nu, Liu Ying and Ye Guyi all advanced. This was also natural. If it weren't for the civil war, there would be two more people from their class in the quarterfinals.

"By the way, you're not hiding anything this time, are you? I've been wanting to have a serious fight with you for a long time."

On the competition stage, Meteor looked at the Snow Girl seriously. This competition was too boring for him, and only the Snow Girl could cheer him up. As for Liuying, he would just admit defeat when the time came.

"Do you really think you can beat me?"

The Snow Goddess's expression turned cold. As the master of the Arctic ice field, her arrogance was self-evident. She only suppressed her edge and integrated into human society because she had lost her origin, but that did not mean that Meteor could look down on her.

"Don't get me wrong, I know you're strong. I'm just curious. Just how strong are you?"

Meteor gave a gentle smile, but in the eyes of the Snow Girl, it was a provocative smile.

"You'll see."

The Snow Girl gritted her teeth and decided to show some real skills to make Meteor stronger, so that he wouldn't become too arrogant and think that he was invincible just because he defeated Ji Juechen.

To be honest, Liu Xing was indeed a little inflated. He comprehended the meaning of the Destruction Spear, created his own soul skill, the Annihilation Spear, and also obtained a super powerful fourth soul skill. He now couldn't wait to try out its power.

While the two were talking, the referee had already walked onto the ring.

"First-year Soul Master Competition, Top 8 to Top 4, Meteor vs. Snow Girl, the competition begins."

As the referee's voice fell, amid the thunderous applause of the audience, air currents surged around Meteor, flames suddenly appeared, and the figure of the Molten Knight appeared on the ring.

He would not be careless when facing the Snow Girl. You know, he had never had the upper hand in the few battles with the Snow Girl before!
Although at that time, he had not yet understood the meaning of the gun.

A cold light flashed in the Snow Girl's eyes, and the beautiful and noble Ice and Snow Girl's martial spirit appeared behind her. The moment her martial spirit appeared, a bone-chilling chill spread.

Even the referee, who was a seventh-level soul master, shuddered. His body was frozen stiff and he had to take a few steps back to avoid the area covered by the cold air.

"It's so cold! What kind of martial spirit is this?"

"Her martial spirit is so beautiful, so beautiful!"

On the high platform, Jing Hongchen's eyes were filled with amazement. Is this the ultimate ice? Xiao Meng also has ice attributes, but compared to her, she is far inferior. On the field, Liu Xing was not affected by Xue Nu's martial spirit. Xue Nu is the ultimate ice, and he is also the ultimate fire!

The red flames surged, fighting against the snow girl's coldness. In the silent confrontation between the two, the entire arena turned into a world of ice and fire.

Two rays of light, one red and one blue, occupied half of the ring respectively. The referee was forced to jump off the ring. He found both the extreme heat and the cold unbearable.

The next moment, the two of them released their spirit rings at the same time. Compared to Meteor's two purple and two black spirit rings, Snow Girl's were much more normal, two yellow and one purple. Although it was the best spirit ring ratio, Meteor always felt a little regretful. With Snow Girl's talent and strength, this shouldn't be the configuration.

But the Snow Girl had obtained her first two soul rings before being brought back by Luan Yu, so the matter was already settled.

The Snow Girl is not at all concerned about the age of her spirit rings, because the age of her spirit rings cannot limit her.

Although they had long known that the ratio of Meteor Soul Rings exceeded the standard, many students and teachers were still amazed when they saw it with their own eyes, and they could not hide the shock in their eyes.

"Flame gun, come on."

"First soul skill, Ice Twin Swords."

Meteor took out the Flame Gun from the soul guide. After the upgrade, the body of the Flame Gun was as red as fire. Only flames could be seen, no metal could be seen.

Two ice swords made of ice crystals appeared in the hands of the Snow Queen, and a sword intent with an icy aura rose up.

Feeling this sword intent, Ji Juechen in the stands suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the Snow Girl with a strong fighting spirit in his eyes.

"I didn't expect that the Snow Girl hid so deeply, she actually has sword intent!"

Jing Ziyan also looked at the Snow Girl in surprise. She was not unfamiliar with the Snow Girl, and they had even sparred with each other, but the Snow Girl had never shown any sword intent.

"That's right."

Meteor, holding a flaming gun and covered in flames, rushed towards the Snow Girl holding an ice sword.

"Clang!"

The flaming spear and the ice sword collided, stirring up a violent airflow.

The roar of the flame spear pierced the air, and the ice sword moved with the wind. The two clashed violently, and sparks burst out like scattered life.

In terms of distance between each other, the inch-longer and inch-stronger flame spear is of course at an advantage, but a larger attack range means slower speed.

Every time Meteor fired a shot, there would be a split second of gap. Unless his spearmanship could reach the divine level, he could only try his best to avoid the disadvantages of this type of weapon.

As for the Snow Girl, her swordsmanship was unexpectedly powerful, far more powerful than her Soul Master cultivation. It did not seem like the swordsmanship that a twelve-year-old girl could use at all. At least, in Liuxing's opinion, her swordsmanship was much stronger than Ji Juechen's. The two were not on the same level.

She accurately seized the gap in the meteor, gradually closing the distance and bringing the meteor within the attack range of her two swords.

The Snow Girl took another step forward, manipulating her two swords with minimal movement to deflect the continuous thrusts of the spear.

Meteor took two steps back alertly, avoiding the sword energy that was slashing towards him, and excitement unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.

It was this feeling, this hand-to-hand combat, this simple clash of swordsmanship and spearmanship, this feeling of being pierced by a sword if one was not careful, that made his blood boil.

"Snow Girl, you really are amazing!"

Upon hearing this, the Snow Girl's face darkened and her eyes were filled with murderous intent.

She raised her swords again and aimed at the meteor.

Meteor also swung the flaming spear at the Snow Girl again, his eyes full of fighting spirit and desire.

The audience outside the arena stared in amazement at this battle that was beyond their imagination. Ji Juechen even clenched the iron sword in his hand, wishing he could replace one of the people in the arena and chop them down to his heart's content.

The battle in the field was fierce and extraordinary. It was not the kind of soul engineers suppressing each other with firepower, nor the kind of soul masters with gorgeous soul skills flying all over the sky, but a confrontation of strength and speed, will and skill.

Compared with the first two, the latter's battle is more intense and thrilling. If you are not careful, you may be injured or even die.

The collision of metal and iron stirred up violent airflow. Every advance would break the ground, and every spear and sword energy that was swung in the air would leave deep grooves on the ring.

Some students with low cultivation levels were unable to see the ultra-high-speed collision between the two people. They could only see the aftermath of the two people impacting and balancing each other.

The wind was howling, the atmosphere was wailing, the entire ring was ravaged by the two men, and the referee on the side had cold sweat on his forehead. He stared at the two people fighting, fearing that one of them would be fatally injured because of his negligence.

These two people are the college's treasures. If one of them is injured, the college will be sad. If something really happens, he, the referee, will bear the brunt.

Jing Hongchen had sat up straight without realizing it, his mind highly concentrated, ready to join the battle at any time. Once one of the two was in desperate situation, it would be his turn to take action.

The eliminated Xu Tianzhen looked at Meteor and Snow Girl, who were completely different from usual, and her lips trembled. She had never seen a fight of this level before. Even Meteor's last battle with Ji Juechen was not so thrilling.

Nana also held the short blade tightly in her hand, staring at the battle below the stage without blinking.

Gu Yuena looked at Meteor with surprise. She was not surprised that the Snow Girl had such powerful swordsmanship. After all, one of the signature skills of the Lord of the Far North was swordsmanship. But she did not expect that Meteor could fight with the Snow Girl like this.

If they had used soul skills, she would not be surprised that Liu Xing, who had the stronger cultivation, had the upper hand, but the two were just fighting hand-to-hand, which tested swordsmanship and spearmanship, not soul skills.

"He's growing up too fast?"

Gu Yuena murmured that the spear skills displayed by Liu Xing now were even stronger than those he showed in the battle with Ji Juechen. It was impossible for Liu Xing to hide his weakness at that time, so he must have become stronger in these few months.

In terms of spearmanship alone, Gu Yuena believed that Liuxing would surpass her sooner or later. Although she possessed the Silver Dragon Spear, her energy was not focused on spearmanship.

But even so, she was once a God King. With the cultivation level of a God King, even if she was not proficient in spearmanship, it was beyond the limit of human beings. Gu Yuena believed that Liu Xing would surpass her, which meant that Liu Xing's spearmanship had the potential to reach the God Realm level.

If his spearmanship reaches the divine level, then Meteor may even become a god with his spearmanship.

Of course, that possibility may be very small, but no matter how small it is, it is still a path to becoming a god, which is better than the current situation in Douluo Continent where the path to becoming a god is cut off.

The ice froze the earth and was then shattered by the red flames. The spear in Meteor's hand thrust repeatedly, the tip of the spear moving up and down, dancing back and forth, its strength and speed reaching the limit.

Although the Snow Girl blocked all of Meteor's attacks with her exquisite swordsmanship, her cultivation was one level lower after all, and her physical fitness was not as good as Meteor's. Although compared with other soul masters, her physical fitness was strong enough.

But facing meteors, it is still stretched.

The Snow Girl raised her two swords to block the rapidly stabbing spear from Meteor, and tilted her head slightly to the right to avoid the red spear tip, but the sharp spear light still took away a strand of her silver hair.

The Snow Girl gritted her teeth, feeling extremely aggrieved. In terms of skills, she was stronger, but in terms of strength, speed and physical fitness, she was suppressed by Meteor, which made the proud girl extremely uncomfortable.
