Douluo: The Peerless King Dong'er's Restarted Life

Chapter 155 Dream of the Mortal World: There's something wrong with their cigars!

In the rest area of ​​the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Meng Hongchen kept an eye on Wang Dong'er, who was leaning towards the back of the group.

“Cheating by using a cigar with a food-type martial soul…” Meng Hongchen pondered for a moment, then turned to Xiao Hongchen and said, “Brother, if we represent the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy to report Shrek Academy to the competition organizing committee, will they agree to investigate?”

"Report Shrek Academy?" Xiao Hongchen was stunned, not expecting his sister to have such a bold idea.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Hongchen shook his head and said, "It's difficult."

"Sister, you must understand that the organizing committee for this year's Soul Fighting Tournament is led by the Star Luo Empire's royal family. The three great empires and Shrek Academy have always been in cahoots. If Shrek Academy really did something, whether it was cheating or intentional murder, the organizing committee would never offend Shrek Academy for such a thing unless they had irrefutable evidence."

“Irrefutable evidence…” Meng Hongchen thought for a moment and said, “Brother, don’t you think those two cigar smokers from Shrek Academy are a bit too strange?”

"Strange? What do you mean?"

"Look, they weren't smoking cigars in the first round of the knockout stage. They should have been even more arrogant then, right? But they started smoking cigars in the round-robin stage. I suspect there's something wrong with their cigars!"

Xiao Hongchen knew that his sister never spoke without reason, so since Meng Hongchen had such suspicions, he followed her lead and thought about it accordingly.

“If that’s the case, then Shrek Academy cheated. However, only when our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy faces them head-on can we guarantee that the Star Luo Empire and Shrek Academy won’t collude to destroy evidence and turn around and accuse us.”

"Brother, let me ask you something. If a genius from the empire wants to join our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, what steps do they need to go through?"

"Geniuses from other countries coming to join us?" Xiao Hongchen was taken aback. "Sister, what kind of daydream are you having? If there really were geniuses, both the Empire and the Academy would definitely hold onto them tightly, showering them with all sorts of benefits. Why would they let them go?"

"I was just saying, hypothetically," Meng Hongchen said sweetly.

"Then we'll have to see what his purpose is. If we're sure he has a clean background and pure motives, our academy will naturally be willing to accept him."

"Can Grandpa recommend me for admission directly?" Meng Hongchen's eyes lit up.

"You...you wouldn't be thinking of bringing that pretty boy from Shrek Academy to our academy, would you?" Xiao Hongchen asked hesitantly.

Meng Hongchen blushed slightly. "I was just asking, that's all. Why are you reacting so strongly?"

After saying that, Meng Hongchen turned to look at the competition stage.

On the competition stage, both sides had released their martial spirits and were closing in on each other.

The four Spirit Shield Soul Masters of Qianling Academy all had the best combination of two yellow and two purple spirit rings, while Captain Shen Ce's fifth spirit ring was somewhat lacking, being only a purple thousand-year spirit ring, which did not meet the requirements of the best combination. However, his martial soul had the same sharp aura as Chen Zifeng, which showed that his attack power was definitely extraordinary.

The last two girls in the Thousand Spirits Academy team did not experience any physical changes when they released their martial souls; instead, two shadowy figures of soul beasts appeared in front of them.

Before the blue-haired An Lengye stood a three-meter-tall blue giant bear, while the red-haired Fei Yuyan was a giant tiger, entirely fiery red with black stripes. The martial soul forms of these two girls were called martial soul mimicry, requiring them to begin cultivating at the very beginning of their martial soul awakening, and their first spirit ring had to be the same form as their own martial soul for them to succeed.

Compared to normal Beast Soul Masters who fight by altering their bodies and emphasizing a particular ability, Soul Mimicry Masters fight by commanding their mimicry Souls.

The advantages and disadvantages of this combat style are also obvious. The advantage is that it puts less strain on the user, but the relative disadvantage is that the user is relatively fragile and needs protection.

In fact, this shortcoming can be somewhat mitigated by using a soul tool.

Faced with Shrek Academy's charging formation, the four Spirit Shield Soul Masters from Thousand Spirits Academy gathered together and simultaneously unleashed the same first Soul Skill, Shield Wall.

Countless dark yellow lights and shadows suddenly bloomed on the Four-Sided Spirit Shield, as if it had truly become a high wall, completely blocking the Shrek side's view.

However, with Huo Yuhao's mental detection shared with everyone, the four Spirit Shield Soul Masters' Soul Skill was rendered useless, losing one-third of its function.

In the back row of the Thousand Spirits Academy team, An Lengye also released his first soul skill, Frost Shield. The icy blue light spread from the roaring Frost Bear and added a layer of icy blue radiance to the four Spirit Shield Soul Masters.

The second spirit ring lit up, and the Frost Bear raised its huge paw and slammed it down on the ground. A layer of blue light appeared on the field, bypassing the four Spirit Shield Spirit Masters in front of it, and spread forward with a cold aura.

An Lengye's second soul skill, Ice Seal, can cause frost to freeze directly on the ground.

These are all just the process of applying buffs. Thousand Spirits Academy has not used this tactic in the previous elimination rounds, but it has used it against Shrek Academy.

Fei Yuyan also released her soul skills. The first soul skill was to buff Shen Ce. At the same time, Shen Ce's third soul ring lit up, and the Thousand Strike Spear began to shine brightly, as if it was gathering power.

A single, decisive blow—that's Qianling Academy's strategy. Their only chance is this match, and even if it turns out to be a futile effort, they can no longer afford to hide.

"Go!" Shen Ce shouted, and with a wave of his hand, the Thousand Strike Spear, which incorporated the Scarlet Feather Flame Soul Skill, shot out instantly, heading straight for Bei Bei in the gap where the four Spirit Rhinoceros Shield Soul Masters had flashed.

"Sanshi!" Beibei shouted. Xu Sanshi activated his fourth soul skill, Xuanming Displacement, and immediately swapped positions with Beibei. At the same time, the Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield in his hand glowed with dark light and he thrust it forward.

At the same time, He Caitou paused, took a deep drag on his thin cigar, and began his transformation amidst a series of metallic roars.

His legs were encased in a circular base, and dozens of long metal tubes emerged from He Caitou's body. There was also a thick cannon barrel on his right shoulder. Judging from the aura emanating from the cannon barrel, it was a fixed soul tool.

The competition rules do not allow the use of fixed soul tools, so this giant cannon can only be left as is and cannot be used.

Unlike cigars, this doesn't allow for blatant cheating in full view of everyone.

Compared to Beibei and her two companions, Wang Dong'er and the others seemed to be slacking off.
