Douluo Continent: The Twin Sons of the Styx River, Shaking the World and Destroying the Heavens

Chapter 58 Meng Hongchen Takes the Stage

"Based on the draw results, we will face the Imperial Divine Dance Soul Mentor team in the team battle later. The individual competition will be held later. After consideration, the starting player will be Meng Hongchen, and the second player will be..."

Yu Yu paused slightly and said, "If you can defeat seven opponents in one go, there's no need to choose the second place."

"Then there's no need to choose. Shenwu Academy is enough for me on my own," Meng Hongchen said confidently, flicking her silver hair.

"Then go ahead, don't worry about any dangers."

"Sister Meng, then good luck," Xia Die said gently.

"I will."

It's wonderful to receive Xia Die's blessing; it gives me even more confidence to fight them.

Why can't my sister Xia Die give me a room?

Alright, for now, I'd better have a more in-depth conversation with Xia Die. Let's start tonight.

However, he didn't know if he could withstand the power of death.

Forget it, never mind. For now, I'll show those "little cuties" from Xingluo what I'm capable of.

Meng Hongchen smiled and waved to Xia Die, then slowly walked onto the competition stage under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

As expected, the player from the Sun Moon East Coast team also had a very eye-catching promotional label on his uniform. The moment the two of them came on the court, they caused an uproar.

Many viewers from the Sun-Moon Empire cheered in unison with the content on the label, and even many viewers from Douluo Three Kingdoms applauded and cheered for the Sun-Moon Empire team's courageous move.

Xu Jiawei stared at the two on the competition stage with a livid face, his eyes blazing with anger. "What exactly do they want to do?"

Previous rumors about rigged matches were mostly just speculation and expressions of anger. However, when the Sun-Moon Empire teams made a direct and silent protest against the conspicuous labels being affixed to their uniforms, this injustice was infinitely magnified, and in the end, countless people believed that this was the result of rigged matches!

But the problem is that they did manipulate it behind the scenes, and it was not just a little bit.

If such protests were suppressed in front of an audience of 200,000 or so, it would not only fail to demonstrate the empire's broad-mindedness, but would also likely allow manipulation of the game to become a reality.

However, if no measures are taken and the Sun-Moon Empire team is allowed to carry out "talent recruitment advertisements and imply that the competition is unfair", the impact will also be great.

Xu Jiawei pinched his eyebrows and felt a severe headache.

If he were to stop them, the one who would try to stop him would probably not be a student, but a level nine soul master.

"Your Majesty, will you take measures to stop them?" the minister beside him asked tremblingly.

Xu Jiawei took a deep breath and said calmly, "No need. Let them promote it if they want. Deliberately suppressing it will backfire, and besides, those people won't allow it."

After the round-robin stage and into the knockout stage, the draw will proceed as normal. We will try our best to calm the audience's emotions, and we believe that in the upcoming fair and intense competition, these feelings of unfairness will gradually dissipate, giving us multiple benefits.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

…………

After the referee read out the rules of the game, the competition officially began.

"The Sun Moon Empire Royal Soul Instructor Team, Meng Hongchen, martial soul Zhu Qing Bingchan, please give me your guidance."

"Lu Feng, Martial Soul Instructor Team of the Sun Moon Empire, Martial Soul: Fire Cloud Lion, please give me your guidance!"

The five spirit rings on Meng Hongchen's body appeared one after another.

Two yellow, two purple, and one black.

The Soul King's strength was fully revealed. Although she was taking drugs before Xia Die arrived, she was no longer doing so after Xia Die's arrival.

She was helped to eliminate the side effects of the elixir that had damaged her potential, and now she is a pure Soul King.

Meng Hongchen walked forward, but with each step he took, the ground froze into ice.

At this moment, the surrounding temperature dropped rapidly, but it was far from reaching that level.

Meng Hongchen's silver hair fluttered in the wind along with her aura. Behind her, the terrifying phantom of the Crimson-Eyed Ice Toad Martial Soul reappeared.

The outer layer is covered in endless ice and snow, but its two large eyes are very special, like two dazzling rays of sunlight illuminating the world.

It forms a unique color with the surrounding ice and snow.

"Soul King, she is actually a Soul King level soul master?!"

"She looks no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, yet she's actually a Soul King-level expert. She's definitely a rare Soul Master genius!"

"Aoao, Miss Meng is the unchanging white moonlight in my heart. I am willing to follow Miss Meng forever!"

"Miss Meng, I'm willing to be your dog."

"Miss Meng is so beautiful, I'm completely smitten!" "Miss Meng is the most beautiful woman in the world!"

…………

With her stunning appearance and extraordinary opening style, Meng Hongchen instantly ignited the entire audience. Countless fans of her cheered for her, and the cheers were louder and louder.

"Miss Meng, be careful."

A man named Lu Feng coldly shouted. After his martial soul was possessed, he became a giant lion filled with flames, but even so, he could not melt the ice brought by Meng Hongchen.

"Fifth Soul Skill: Fiery Lion Strike".

Lu Feng flashed to the side and in front of Meng Hongchen and immediately used his strongest soul skill. A huge phantom of a mad lion appeared, surrounded by flames that even melted the ice where Meng Hongchen was.

The raging lion, clad in flames, charged swiftly toward Meng Hongchen.

Meng Hongchen raised his head calmly, a cold light flashed in his ice-blue eyes, and his long silver-white hair flew in all directions like a waterfall.

"Fifth Soul Skill: Ice and Fire Poison Dragon Drill".

Meng Hongchen's fifth soul skill is his strongest single-target attack, possessing the power of both ice and fire.

The extremely cold words exploded like thunder. Meng Hongchen raised his right hand to the sky, and the black ten-thousand-year soul ring around his body slowly rose into the air. The Zhu Qing Ice Toad beside him soared into the sky, its eyes, like two bright suns, surging with blazing light. Its huge body was filled with icy coldness, flowing with an ice-blue halo. Then, a terrifying storm containing highly poisonous elements formed by ice and fire appeared above it!
"Go."

Meng Hongchen murmured softly to the raging lion that was about to charge at her.

"Boom!"

The Ice and Fire Storm clashed with the Fiery Lion, and the Ice and Fire Storm suddenly exploded like a time bomb about to detonate.

A terrifying level of power spread out, shattering the Fiery Lion to pieces. Lu Feng, who was to the side, was also thrown away by this level of power and crashed heavily into the protective shield.

Xu Jiawei, seeing the shock in Meng Hongchen's eyes, said, "I never expected that there would be such a genius in the Sun Moon Empire. Even in Shrek Academy, such talent is rare."

Xu Jiawei sat down again, his brows furrowed, a bad feeling rising in his heart.

The audience in the stands were instantly stunned by the terrifying bombing. The stands, which could hold about 200,000 people, fell into an eerie silence, which was rare.

"Just one strike to instantly kill a Soul King of the same level!?"

Suddenly, an audience member from the Sun and Moon Empire exclaimed, "Miss Meng is the best!" This sparked a lively commotion among the rest of the audience.

"As expected of Miss Meng, she is truly powerful, instantly killing a Soul King of the same level!"

"Miss Meng is the best in the world!"

"Miss Meng, look at me, I'm your dog."

Countless spectators applauded and cheered, with many enthusiastic fans holding up signs that read "Miss Meng is the best in the world" and waving them high in the stands. Some even shouted that they wanted to set up a fan club for Meng Hongchen to cheer her on in the upcoming matches...

………………

No one expected that Meng Hongchen would cause such a sensation after only playing one game.

All the seeded teams that were expected to win the championship frowned, their faces full of fear.

With just one soul skill, he was able to instantly kill a powerful soul king of the same level. His fighting power was astonishing!
Meng Hongchen glanced at the referee who hadn't recovered yet and said calmly, "Referee, the match is over."

The referee, belatedly realizing what was happening, hurriedly stepped onto the field, picked up the soul-guided megaphone, and excitedly announced: "In the individual match between the Sun Moon Empire Royal Soul Master Academy Team and the Sun Moon Empire Divine Dance Soul Master Academy Team, the first match is won by Meng Hongchen, a member of the Sun Moon Empire Royal Soul Master Academy Team!"

As soon as the referee finished speaking, thunderous applause rang out from the audience again, and countless spectators cheered, their popularity far exceeding that of the Shrek group before.

Shrek Academy's preparation area.

"To defend the academy's eternal glory, we must overcome the mountain of the Sun Moon Empire's Royal Soul Master Team, but as things stand, it's going to be quite difficult. I didn't expect it to be that martial soul."

Beibei asked, "Teacher Wang, what is her martial spirit that surprised you so much?"

"The Crimson-Eyed Ice Toad is a martial soul with both ice and fire attributes. It is known as the king of the rifts in the far north. It possesses a cold poison that alternates between ice and fire, making it far more powerful than ordinary ice-attribute soul beasts. It is an extremely rare martial soul."

Upon hearing Wang Yan's words, everyone gasped in astonishment. They never expected that such a martial spirit existed.

Ma Xiaotao was not afraid of Wang Yan's words at all: "What's there to be afraid of? No matter how powerful his poison is, it can't possibly poison a Soul Emperor. Besides, I will be fully recovered in a little over ten days. When we meet them then, I will crush them."

Ling Luochen glanced at Ma Xiaotiao and said calmly, "If I'm not mistaken, her ice attribute should be above mine. I can suppress your strength by a lot, let alone her. She can definitely stand up to your Phoenix Evil Flame. Just don't let her lose her mind and unleash the Evil Flame, causing irreversible and tragic consequences."

"Ling Luochen, you don't like me, right?"

Ma Xiaotao, who had a bad relationship with Ling Luochen and had a hot temper, stared at Ling Luochen with anger in her eyes and said indifferently.

Ling Luochen smiled gently and said, "I'm just stating a fact. Ma Xiaotao, don't forget that Meng Hongchen killed a Soul King of the same level with just one Soul Skill. His combat power is definitely comparable to that of an ordinary Soul Emperor! The strength of the others is still a mystery. According to the investigation, Meng Hongchen is only a reserve team member, let alone the strength of the others."
