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

Chapter 64 Illusion Lamp Spirit Furnace
"Two Soul Kings? Shrek Academy really thinks highly of us, sending two Soul Kings. Sister Mengdi, why don't we just admit defeat? You can hold off one, but they have two Soul Kings. I'm no match for them."

"No need. The opponents aren't offensive types, so we still have a chance to win."

Yu Mengdi rejected Yang Yifan's suggestion without even thinking about it; she would only truly be convinced if he defeated her.

Meanwhile, Qian Renxue, secretly observing from another academy, stared at Yu Mengdi. She hadn't expected to meet her descendant, but he was still not pure enough.

But his gaze was fixed on Tang Lin, and he always felt that Tang Lin was very similar to Tang San.

Xia Die glanced at the Angelic Martial Soul and shook her head.

Although he is an angel, he is not close enough, or rather, he is very similar to the holy angel Ye Guyi.

There is still too little information available for the angels to study, but the claim of shared martial soul lineage is definitely true.

However, if we had to find a difference, Ye Guyi's martial soul is closer to Qian Renxue's original version, while Yu Mengdi is merely a variant of the Angel martial soul.

The two quickly started fighting.

Tang Lin immediately unleashed his first soul skill, Blue Silver Entanglement.

He rushed past Yang Yifan toward Yu Mengdi, but unfortunately, he couldn't hit her because she was in the sky and he couldn't attack her at all.

"Second Soul Skill: Holy Light Cross Slash".

Holy Radiance Cross Slash is her second soul skill, which has a holy attack effect. Not only is the attack power strong, but it also has a continuous burning effect of holy flames.

Moreover, she used not only one soul skill, but also her first soul skill, the Divine Twin Swords.

It is a unique weapon-type soul skill. After possessing this soul skill, it is equivalent to any soul skill performed with dual swords being released in combination with her first soul skill.

For ordinary Soul Masters, releasing two Soul Skills in combination requires a high level of skill. The more Soul Skills are combined, the more difficult it becomes, requiring the Soul Skills to be compatible with each other and the user to have skillful control.

"First Soul Skill: Glimmer of Light Protection".

A barrier formed around Legia and Tanglin.

This soul skill resists both physical and soul power attacks from enemies. It weakens the attack power of enemies who attack at close range. The effect will disappear as long as you move away or break the shield.

The shield was shattered the instant the attack hit it.

Immediately afterwards, a three-meter-long spear appeared in Tang San's hand, radiating a golden luster and exuding an extremely powerful aura.

Fifth Soul Skill: Blue Silver Overlord Spear.

Tang San swiftly threw the object towards Yu Mengdi, tearing through the air and creating a powerful impact.

But Yang Yifan stood in front of Yu Mengdi and took the hit head-on with the soul skill.

However, the result was far from ideal. After all, the gap between the two sides was not small. Tang Lin was a Soul King, while Yang Yifan was only a Soul Master.

He was knocked directly out of the field, but was saved by the referee.

Now, only Yu Mengdi remains at Zhengtian Academy.

Seeing this situation, Yu Mengdi realized that it was extremely disadvantageous for her.

Yu Mengdi unleashed her strongest attack, giving it her all. She gripped the sacred twin swords tightly, raising them high above her head. In an instant, her third spirit ring shone brightly, its dazzling golden flames surging forth like wildfire. In a trance, a majestic six-winged angel's silhouette slowly appeared behind her. The moment this silhouette materialized, Yu Mengdi was enveloped in a dense golden light, as if she were bathed in a divine radiance.

"Third Soul Skill - Angel's Blessing!" Yu Mengdi shouted. This soul skill can greatly enhance the power of her next attack, instantly doubling her attack power, making it a powerful killing move in battle.

Immediately following, her fifth spirit ring lit up. Yu Mengdi gritted her teeth, her lips parted sharply, and she cried out, "Heavenly—Angel—Sealing—God—Slaying!"

Each word burst forth with a sharp, powerful soul force, like five thunderclaps. As the scales resonated, the sacred twin swords in her hands echoed with a clear, melodious dragon's roar, the runes flowing across their blades growing ever more dazzling. The moment the word "Slash" struck the ground like a hammer blow, the twin swords collided violently, unleashing a blinding light. In an instant, the two sword lights merged seamlessly, coalescing into a gigantic blade of light over ten meters long and three meters wide.

The edge of the blade was adorned with sacred golden patterns, slashing down towards Tang Lin and Legaya with overwhelming force. "Fifth Soul Skill: Molten Phoenix."

Then, Legia's fifth spirit ring lit up.

Suddenly, the magic lamp furnace in her hand hummed, and wisps of white mist billowed out. The moment the mist touched the air, it strangely turned crimson, and the surrounding temperature instantly soared, the air distorting and radiating waves of heat. The crimson mist churned and gathered like a living thing, outlining mysterious runes in the void. The mist continued to evaporate and condense, transforming into a phantom phoenix that blotted out the sky.

As the phoenix spread its thousand-meter-long wings, its tail feathers trailed a burning galaxy. It raised its head and cried out, its body erupting in crimson-gold flames, carrying an aura that could incinerate everything, as it swooped down towards the giant blade of light.

"Boom!"

A deafening roar tore through the sky as two world-destroying forces collided. A terrifying shockwave, centered on the point of impact, spread wildly outwards in a hurricane-like pattern. The two energies exploded violently in the collision, unleashing a blinding burst of light, like a miniature sun exploding. In an instant, orange-red flames shot into the sky, surrounded by a rapidly rising, grayish-white smoke that condensed into a massive mushroom cloud in the air.

Despite both sides unleashing their most powerful attacks, the outcome was revealed in the aftershocks of the energy blast. Legaya's summoned crimson phoenix, carrying a scorching force, actually suppressed Yu Mengdi's "Angel God-Sealing Slash." The shockwave from the explosion surged like a raging tide.
Yu Mengdi's pupils contracted sharply. Before she could even make a defensive move, a violent shockwave rushed towards her like a prehistoric beast. She was instantly thrown back, her back slamming heavily against the faintly glowing protective shield in the distance with a dull thud. The immense impact caused her to slowly slide down the shield, her legs giving way and collapsing to the ground. She eventually tumbled off the edge of the arena, landing awkwardly on the hard ground below. The sacred twin swords in her hands clattered to the ground beside her, raising a cloud of dust.

The moment Yu Mengdi regained consciousness, a wave of excruciating pain instantly overwhelmed her. She struggled to open her sore eyes, only to realize with horror that she had fallen off the competition platform. A piercing pain shot through her neck, as if gripped tightly by an invisible hand, making it difficult to breathe. A wave of dizziness and nausea washed over her, causing her vision to blur. She trembled as she steadied herself on the ground, her knees slamming heavily to the floor. Cold sweat streamed down her pale face, and she clenched her teeth to barely support her swaying body. She didn't know how much time had passed before her violently heaving chest gradually calmed down.

The referee's gaze first fell on Yu Mengdi, who was kneeling in pain outside the field, and Yang Yifan, who had been rescued. A trace of pity flashed in his eyes. Then he turned to Tang Lin and Legya, who were on the field with cold expressions. His eyes were full of disbelief.

"Two against three, first match, Shrek Academy wins!" The referee's voice echoed across the arena, sharp and clear, its lingering resonance causing a brief silence to fall over the entire arena. This sudden announcement meant that the fierce battle had finally come to a conclusion, but the crowd, both on and off the field, were still immersed in the thrilling fight, unable to recover for a long time.

The referee clicked his tongue inwardly, his gaze sweeping over the four figures on the field. The intense battle before him far exceeded his expectations. Despite being only three Soul Kings and one Soul Master, the power they unleashed was terrifying. The aftershocks of their energy collision still seemed to tremble in the air, prompting him to exclaim, "This doesn't seem like a battle between three Soul Kings and one Soul Master; it's practically a duel between Soul Emperors! These youngsters are truly unexpected!"

Everyone cheered.

"Shrek!"

"Long live Shrek Academy!"

The atmosphere in the waiting area of ​​the Zheng Tian team was so tense it was almost palpable. Captain Ye Wuqing gripped the armrests of his chair so tightly his knuckles were almost transparent, his jawline taut as if it might snap at any moment. The team members sat frozen in place, some staring blankly at the arena, others mechanically rubbing the hem of their clothes, each face etched with disbelief and defeat.

The meticulously planned tactics and the confident declarations of victory all turned into a chilling cold that seeped from head to toe. The once burning desire for victory in his chest was now replaced by an icy chill, as if all hope had been frozen by a bucket of ice water, leaving only a heart full of resentment and frustration.

…………

Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.

Everyone at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy watched Shrek Academy's performance.

But this martial soul is indeed real. I didn't expect that there would be a martial soul called the Illusionary Lamp Spirit Furnace. This martial soul has spiritual and fire attributes, but it has a special ability.

Transformation.

It can bring any creature's imagination to life, but it cannot conjure up any real power.

"Shrek Academy, there's another one. Looks like they won't be easy to deal with."

"Alright, stop complaining. No matter how tough they are, they only have three Soul Kings, two Soul Emperors, and the rest are just Soul Masters. The next two matches are ours. Let's see who our opponents are."

Everyone looked at their opponents.

Thousand Soul Master Academy

“That’s right, it’s easy for you. Their specialty is the Thousand-Strike Spear with dual control of ice and fire,” Yu Yu said.

"Hmph, what's so great about an academy without a Soul King? I think they're nothing special." Xiao Hongchen's face was full of disdain, and his tone was full of contempt.

Yu Yu patted Xiao Hongchen on the shoulder: "Underestimating the enemy is a big no-no. Be careful not to capsize in the gutter. Let's prepare for the worst first."

Xiao Hongchen's lips curled into a wild smile as he rubbed the soul tool at his waist with one hand, his tone tinged with amusement: "Then it's my turn. I want to taste what it's like to take down seven opponents at once."

Meanwhile, Xia Die gently raised her hand, her fingertips hovering in the air for half a second before slowly lowering it, her gentle voice tinged with a hint of caution: "Um...Brother Xiao, could you...let me have this match?"
