Douluo: Lord of Arms

Chapter 140 Take it lightly
As his aura grew stronger, Mo Jue emitted a dark purple halo, and his entire body floated in mid-air.

His second, third, and fifth spirit rings lit up simultaneously.

Centered on Mo Jue, hundreds of meters around him were instantly enveloped in dense darkness.

Third Soul Skill: Dark Erosion.

This is a domain-type soul skill that can not only erode life within its area of ​​effect, but also boost her attributes and create a field advantage.

At the same time, swan feathers appeared out of thin air within the area.

These feathers were jet black, and after appearing out of thin air, they shot towards Gu Yue at an extremely fast speed.

Fifth Soul Skill: Swan Feather.

The feathers were burning with jet-black flames; this was the second soul skill, Dark Demon Flame. It was very similar to Lin Xingyu's Glazed True Fire, not only having the effect of burning the body and soul, but also possessing extremely strong adhesion.

However, compared to Lin Xingyu's domineering Glazed True Fire, her flames, though somewhat insidious, are far less powerful.

As a spellcasting-type Soul Master, Mo Jue not only used his Battle Armor from the start but also linked his Soul Skills together, which is already a rather advanced technique.

To be able to use soul skills to this extent at such a young age is already quite impressive.

Gu Yue's gaze remained fixed on Mo Jue, her attention entirely on her own hands.

She slowly guided the elements in the air, and her long black hair moved on its own without any wind.

The three pieces of battle armor on her body shimmered with dazzling patterns, and the intense energy fluctuations made her aura even more terrifying.

These three perfectly crafted battle armor components are even comparable to some two-word battle armors.

Among the battle armors, the headband and chest armor are the most difficult to make, and Gu Yue's battle armor was naturally designed by herself.

Seemingly testing Lin Xingyu's abilities, Gu Yue designed the armor to be as powerful as possible without considering the difficulty of its manufacture. Even Lin Xingyu took twice as long to create it as usual.

It's easy to imagine how powerful the amplification of mental strength is achieved by such meticulously crafted battle armor components.

At this moment, Gu Yue's black eyes turned completely silver.

The four spirit rings on his body were constantly lighting up in alternating patterns.

The elements in the air were primarily light, with fire and space elements playing secondary roles. This made her appear like an angel descended to earth.

On the arena, one light and one darkness each occupied half of the arena.

The students from all grades watching from below the stage were captivated, even though their fighting wasn't intense enough.

But whether it was the complete one-word battle armor on Mo Jue's body or the battle armor parts on Gu Yue's body that exuded strong spirituality and energy fluctuations, they all felt a sense of envy.

This is exactly what they've been dreaming of.

As the feathers burning with dark green flames fell, Gu Yue finally turned her gaze to Mo Jue, who was suspended in mid-air.

As she pointed her hands forward, the elements around her seemed to find their target.

It formed beams of light that went straight towards them.

A burst of light!

If the falling swan feathers are like stars falling from the sky, then the rays emitted by the ancient moon are like the rising sun bringing endless light.

The result of the collision between the two in mid-air was beyond the expectations of many people.

Just as the sun dispels darkness, the storm of light directly obliterated most of the swan's feathers.

The energy fluctuations generated by the two caused the soul-guided shield around the arena to fluctuate violently, with layers of energy constantly changing on it.

During the collision, Gu Yue ignored the swan feathers that were blasted away by the energy.

Some of the scattered swan feathers landed on the arena, creating craters the size of basketballs and a meter deep.

Furthermore, the accompanying dark demonic flames directly eroded the surroundings, although no obvious changes occurred.

However, upon closer inspection, one will find that the arena surrounding the circular pit has become loose, as if its vitality has been erased.

Fragile and decaying.

Mo Jue's heart sank.

She never expected that, even while fully equipped with her One-Word Battle Armor, she would end up on the bottom in a battle of soul skills against her opponent.

He watched as the elemental forces drew ever closer to him.

Mo Jue's third spirit ring lit up, and a long spear appeared in her hand.

The power of the battle armor is comprehensive, not only amplifying the elements, soul skills, and spirit, but also greatly enhancing the physical body.

The girl opposite was clearly a pure elemental soul master, and such soul masters usually don't have very strong physical strength.

Even though she has a ten-thousand-year-old soul ring, her physical and mental strength is powerful enough.

However, with his Soul King cultivation and One-Word Battle Armor, he could completely suppress her.

Suddenly, they leap into the face and onto the side!
In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Mo Jue's mind, and finally settled on one.

She transformed into a black streak of light, rushing towards Gu Yue accompanied by countless swan feathers.

Gu Yue's expression remained unchanged as she watched Mo Jue charging towards her.

It continues to guide the changes in elements and the like without pause.

Seeing that Gu Yue's position had not changed at all, Mo Jue, who had rushed to a short distance away, was overjoyed.

She seemed to hear the echoes of victory.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, Mo Jue landed where Gu Yue had just been standing. The enormous impact caused the arena around her to sink several tens of centimeters.

But she felt no joy whatsoever.

It's empty!

At the very last moment before landing, Gu Yue's figure vanished from the spot.

Suddenly, Mo Jue felt the hairs on his body stand on end, and a terrifying sense of danger went straight into his heart.

Before she could react, a swan feather flew out from the pair of black wings behind her.

A protective shield quickly formed around her.

Behind her, a small hand adorned with ornate gauntlets appeared, carrying extremely concentrated light elements, and gently patted Mo Jue's back.

It takes the opposition between the two elements of light and darkness to the extreme.

Mo Juexin sensed a large amount of light elements, which easily tore through her defenses. The black barrier formed by the swan feathers around her body disappeared completely in the blink of an eye, just like dew touching the sunlight.

Then the silver gauntlets gently landed on his battle armor.

Immediately following was a terrifying force that filled her with dread.

Where did she, an elemental soul master, get such great power?

Even with the support of soul power, her own basic strength must be strong enough.

Mo Jue flew off into the distance like a shooting star.

He slammed heavily onto the ring.

Mo Jue had just stood up after the force of Gu Yue's blow had dissipated.

The all-pervasive light elements then converged, and the usually gentle light elements were now incredibly lethal to Mo Jue.

Light forms the main element, flames enhance it, and the power of space serves as its blade.

Gu Yue didn't give her a chance to react, nor did she give her a moment's rest.

A sharp arrow landed directly on Mo Jue's shoulder armor, even with the spatial power activated.

Even though Mo Jue's one-word battle armor was radiating intense light, frantically dissolving Gu Yue's elemental attacks.

However, propelled and amplified by the power of various elements, the arrow still pierced through Mo Jue's armor. "Hmph!"

Mo Jue couldn't help but let out a muffled groan. After entering her body, the elemental arrow directly transformed into elemental power and dissipated.

The light element clashed violently with the dark element within her.

It caused her great harm and disrupted the flow of soul power within her body.

This made it impossible for her to avoid the next series of elemental arrows.

It seemed that Mo Jue was about to be pierced by a thousand arrows.

With a gentle wave of her hand, Cai Yue'er unleashed a silver light from behind her, which dissipated Gu Yue's next attack in front of Mo Jue.

"First and second graders win. Next game in fifteen minutes."

Cai Yue'er calmly announced the results of the competition.

At this point, Cai Yue'er couldn't help but look at Gu Yue again. Such good talent, it's really a pity that she actually became the apprentice of that woman who doesn't know how to play with multiple elements.

Golden holy light descended from nowhere, healing Mo Jue's injuries.

Mo Jue walked off the arena with a grim expression.

"Teacher, I..." Song Linmo hesitated for a long time, but in the end, she didn't say anything.

What could she say? She even used her battle armor, which meant that she felt an extremely strong attribute suppression when fighting her opponent, so much so that she couldn't unleash her full strength.

He also said that he was careless and did not expect that the other party had so many elements. One attack directly caused him serious internal injuries.

He was knocked off the stage by the opponent's combo attack.

Ultimately, it all comes down to my own inferior skills.

There has never been a case of the strong defeating the weak, but the weak defeating the strong. I only surpassed my opponent in terms of soul power.

However, the opponent surpassed him in skill, attributes, and other aspects.

"Victory and defeat are common occurrences in war. If you lose, you lose. Think carefully about where you went wrong and don't make the same mistake in the team battle later."

Song Lin sighed inwardly, but chose to comfort her student. Losing the match had already put a lot of pressure on Mo Jue.

Could I possibly scold her any further? There's a match coming up soon. I can't afford to put any more pressure on her, no matter how you look at it.

It's better to offer her more comfort; perhaps that will help her improve.

"Teacher Song, I understand. I'll win the next match." Mo Jue forced a smile, revealing a somewhat awkward one.

"Sister Mo, we'll avenge you in the team battle later," Ye Wu said as she stepped forward.

Seeing Ye Wu grinning as if he hadn't lost the match, Mo Jue couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Take care of yourself first."

My mood improved by a third.

The entire arena was almost completely silent at this moment; the one-on-one match had indeed resulted in a crushing defeat.

However, the first graders completely overwhelmed the third graders. The scenario they had anticipated—the third graders overwhelming the first graders or the first graders struggling fiercely but still being eliminated—did not occur.

It was just an easy battle.

On the other side, Gu Yue had just stepped off the arena.

Xu Xiaoyan couldn't help but pounce on her. Her face was filled with excitement.

"Well done, Sister Gu Yue!"

Although Gu Yue didn't say anything, the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up slightly.

Even an ordinary face has gained a touch of charm.

He looked at Lin Xingyu with a somewhat provocative gaze.

They seem to be waiting to see Lin Xingyu's performance in the next match.

The others also offered their congratulations, among whom Zhou Hanyou and Zhou Tian'er had the most complicated expressions.

The two elemental soul masters knew best how strong Gu Yue's control over elemental power and how high her skills were in the battle just now.

If it were the two of them on stage, they wouldn't have any confidence that they could manipulate the elemental power to such a delicate degree.

"Captain, we girls have already won two games in a row. Now it's up to you boys." Xu Xiaoyan couldn't help but say after exchanging a few words with Gu Yue.

"Don't worry, I'll go on stage and give you a perfect record."

Lin Xingyu said with a low laugh.

"We'll see how you perform in a bit. Good luck!"

Xu Xiaoyan made a cheering gesture, which, combined with her petite face, made her look quite adorable.

Fifteen minutes later, Lin Xingyu was ready and listened to the referee's voice.

Just as he was about to step onto the competition stage, he heard some news that surprised him.

In the third individual match, the third-grade student conceded defeat, and he automatically won.

He was stunned when he heard the news.

They won way too easily.

I shouldn't have put too much pressure on them. Shouldn't they dare to come up and fight a small Soul Master like me?

"Teacher, why...?"

"Alright," Song Lin said, looking at the somewhat impatient students in front of her.

"Li Qiankun, your martial spirit is more suitable for team battles; one-on-one combat will actually limit your strength."

“I’ve already explained Lin Xingyu’s situation to you in a one-on-one manner. Putting aside everything else, those four ten-thousand-year soul rings alone are enough to demonstrate his strength.”

"As the captain of the first and second year teams, how could his strength be inferior to that little girl from before? Even if you can win against him, will you still be able to participate in the following matches? He is the most powerful offensive type who excels in one-on-one battles."

"Listen to me, we'll take direct action and crush them in the team fight later, no need to hold back."

“We shouldn’t have just given up. We still have other people who can go on stage,” Mo Jue couldn’t help but say.

"If anyone else goes up, not only will they have no chance of winning, but they might not even be able to play the team matches after this one."

Upon hearing Song Lin's words, the others couldn't help but fall silent.

Fifteen minutes later, the fourth match began.

"Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, since you two want to come on stage, then you two can come up."

"There's no need to chase victory. Let's delay for a while and see where we fall short by skipping a level."

"it is good!"

The two didn't say much and agreed immediately. After three years of working together, they were the best partners.

Tang Wulin has abandoned his martial soul most of the time, and now fights with others in a dignified manner based entirely on his dragon blood.

Xie Xie was responsible for hiding behind him and fighting alongside him.

Given that they had given up beforehand, and that the two of them were mainly just sparring, this was a situation where they had to give up beforehand.

As expected, Tang Wulin and Xie Xie surrendered.

The age difference between them is too great. If they were given more time or if Tang Wulin could break another seal...

There might still be a good chance of defeating them.

A quarter of an hour later, Lin Xingyu, along with Gu Yue, Yuan Enyehui, Xu Xiaoyan, Zhou Hanyou, Zhou Tian'er, and Ye Xinglan, strode towards the competition arena.
