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

Chapter 79 Star Luo Team
All four nodded slightly.

Everything is ready.

"Attention."

Xu Jiawei narrowed his eyes slightly, and then, before anyone could see how he made his move, four balls of golden light rose into the air at the same time.

Ma Xiaotao had been waiting in ambush, and as soon as Xu Jiawei made his move, she soared into the air. Jiang Peng from the Imperial Academy made the same choice: he took a long jump and rushed towards the golden ball in the air at top speed.

Xu Jiujiu and Xia Die didn't move at all; they remained standing there with smiles on their faces.

Then, after the two small golden balls fell down, he reached out and caught them.

"I'm number one."

"I'm number one."

"I am number two."

"I am number two."

In general, Xia Die is number one, and Xu Jiujiu is also number one.

Number two is Ma Xiaotao and Jiang Peng.

The draw results are in. Shrek Academy, both ranked number one, will face Imperial Academy today. Meanwhile, Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy will naturally face Star Luo Royal Academy.

After personally checking the lottery numbers, Xu Jiawei announced the results to the public. When the people of the Star Luo Empire heard that their team would be facing the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, gasps of surprise rang out from the crowd.

The competition rules of the semi-finals and finals follow the rules of the previous knockout rounds, which are also divided into two days, with team battles and individual knockout rounds.

The difference is that both matches must be won to advance. If each side wins one match, a tiebreaker using a 2-2-3 strategy must be played. In other words, winning the team battle no longer provides any advantage.

The difference between the semi-finals and the finals is that the semi-finals are not completed in one day, while the finals, including team battles, individual elimination rounds, and 2-2-3 tactics, will be carried out in one go. At that time, it is not only a contest of strength, but also of sustained fighting power and endurance, as well as a contest of willpower.

Xu Jiawei smiled and said, "I wish all four teams the best of luck in the upcoming matches. The draw is over, please prepare yourselves. Today's first team battle will be between Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and Star Luo Royal Academy, and the second match will be between Shrek Academy and Di'ao Royal Academy."

Afterwards, both sides returned to their respective waiting areas.

Looking at the two teams in their respective preparation areas, Xu Jiawei couldn't help but ask Dai Hao, "Brother, in your opinion, what are the chances of the Star Luo Royal Team winning?"

"With Her Highness the Princess present, it's true that the other members of the Royal Team can unleash extraordinary combat power in team battles. However, the Sun Moon Royal Team has Team Fairy Butterfly, whose Soul-Binding Skill alone is very troublesome. Even if he doesn't take action, he's already troublesome enough. Moreover, the Sun Moon Royal Team has a total of three Soul Emperors."

Xu Jiawei nodded and sighed, "This year's Royal Team is certainly stronger than the previous ones, but the Sun and Moon Royal Team is also stronger than the previous ones. Once it comes to individual battles, the team support will become useless. With the Sun and Moon Royal Team's strong individual strength, it's hard to imagine you being a match for them with seven Soul Kings against a team with three Soul Emperors and the rest of the Soul Kings."

The reason is simple: the Golden Dragon King's martial soul suppression and the Butterfly Soul-Binding Technique will obviously be a very difficult opponent to deal with.

It can ban anything, but banning soul-banning skills is something I've never seen before, so I'm clearly no match for it.

Of course, the most crucial thing is still your daughter. These are truly turbulent times, and it's clearly impossible to get her to return to Xingluo.

On the other hand, Xia Die's arrangement was acceptable, allowing Gu Yuena to take the field, which was also her first time playing.

That's how the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team made their debut.

Xia Die, Ma Rulong, Lin Xi, Mi Jia, Lin Yan, Gu Yuena, Xiao Xiafeng.

Unfortunately, when it was time to go on stage, the referee was still Tian Sha Douluo.

"The first semi-final match of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Tournament is between the Star Luo Royal Team and the Sun Moon Royal Team. I, Huang Jinxu, will serve as the referee for this match. Now, I will announce the rules of this match."

Although the two teams are already familiar with the rules of the semi-finals, it is still necessary to solemnly announce the rules according to the process and sequence of the game.

"The semifinals are divided into team battles and individual battles, which will be held in turn."

"In team battles, each team selects seven members to participate. The winning team only needs to defeat four members of the opposing team in the subsequent individual battles to achieve final victory and advance to the finals to compete for the championship!"

"The team that loses the team battle must have four members defeat the opposing team's seven members in the subsequent individual battles to achieve final victory; otherwise, they will be eliminated and stop at the semi-finals!" Huang Jinxu paused, then continued:

"In this match, I am responsible for the safety of both teams. If there is a possibility of death for any team member, I will not hesitate to intervene in the match. The player who benefits will be directly withdrawn from the match without affecting the other players' continued play."

"However, the competition is ever-changing, and many contestants' spirit abilities are far more powerful than they appear. It may be difficult to determine whether a fatality is imminent. Therefore, we hope that both sides will exercise restraint during the competition. If an irresistible danger arises, please surrender immediately to avoid major casualties..."

………………

When both sides entered the arena, a long time passed before a new face appeared – Gu Yuena, who had never played before.

He had seen her before, but had never actually witnessed her in action. Her martial spirit, soul power, and overall strength remained completely unknown. He gazed at Xia Die for a long time, then at Gu Yuena.

We know very little about Xia Die. We know her identity, but her other soul is a scythe with the attribute of death and an eye.

However, she has never used her full strength from the beginning until now, and has been deliberately hiding her strength. Her known strength is only level 63, and she also has a very troublesome soul-binding skill, and can summon a dragon.

He took a deep breath; he couldn't give up like this.

"Both sides prepare, the semi-final begins."

At the command of the Heavenly Fiend Douluo, everyone activated their Martial Souls immediately.

Xu Jiujiu was the first to release her martial spirit, and her eyes also changed. Her bright blue eyes emitted a faint golden luster, and if you looked closely, you would feel that they were as vast as the sea.

A golden light shone from Princess Jiujiu's forehead; it was a rhombus-shaped golden gem. The golden gem immediately emitted a dazzling light upon appearing, then detached from her forehead, slowly rising and floating upwards, surrounded by golden light. A magnificent crown appeared above her head, then slowly descended and landed on her head.

This crown seems to be made up of countless stars, all of which are light gold. Starting from the diamond-shaped gem, it quickly shrinks back. There are a total of eighteen larger stars on the crown protruding upward to form a circle. Nice tip.

This is her martial soul, the Star Crown. Perhaps some people don't know what this kind of martial soul is.

But Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue's group definitely knew about this martial spirit.

These Star Crown Martial Souls all come from the Star Crown Sect. However, the Star Crown lineage has always been very weak, so it rarely appears on the continent and belongs to a hidden sect.

"First Soul Skill: Star Attraction!"

"Second Soul Skill: Starfall!"

In an instant, the sky above the competition arena suddenly became dim, and countless stars filled the sky, like falling meteorites, and the dazzling starlight shot down from the dim sky.

The dense rain of starlight, covering almost half of the arena, was unavoidable. The well-prepared Sun and Moon Royal Team activated their Soul Guidance Shields, blocking out most of the starlight.

Although they could withstand it, most of the starlight still struck the Sun and Moon Royals.

The effects of the Star Guiding Technique and the Star Falling Technique are as follows:

The Star Guiding Technique transforms starlight into countless rays to lock onto enemies. With this soul skill, Xu Jiujiu can accurately locate targets hidden in complex environments.

Starfall Technique: Starlight falls, knocking back targets within range and causing a slight stun effect.

However, Gu Yuena also activated her martial soul, and the Star Luo Royal Team all turned their attention to her.

It was a dragon, but unlike Di Qiu'er's martial soul, this dragon was entirely silver, and like the Golden Dragon King, it was extremely powerful enough to suppress beast martial souls.

One by one, spirit rings rose up on his body.

Almost all of them are light gold

Six-Ring Soul Emperor.

The last person to be featured at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy was a Soul Emperor.

She floated in mid-air. Unlike Di Qiu'er, she didn't seem to be a strong offensive type, but she could be one.

Apart from Xia Die and Gu Yue Na, the rest of the team members who were under control were attacked by the Star Attraction Technique and Star Fall Technique for a long time, and more or less experienced dizziness.

Xia Die and Gu Yue Na are...

You can never touch the Butterfly. Even if you do, it won't harm you; it will kill you and dim your light.

All Soul Masters have now released their Martial Souls.

The man fighting Ma Rulong is named Huang Yunhe. Before Princess Jiujiu appeared, he was the captain of the Xingluo National Academy team.

Huang Heyun's martial spirit is also quite powerful. With the release of his martial spirit, a dense black aura swirls around his body, his body swells up, his solid muscles bulge, and on his forehead, there is a "king" character similar to the Evil-Eyed White Tiger of Dai Yueheng and his brother. The difference is that the hair that grows on his body is not white or yellow, but black, pure black.

Dark Demon Tiger—that is his martial soul. A rare dark attribute, yet he is not an evil soul master. His powerful dark energy endows him with talent no less than that of Dai Yueheng's White Tiger.

The one fighting Li Yan was Dugu Shangshan, the second offensive-type Soul King of the Star Luo Royal Team. His Martial Soul was the Netherworld Mad Lion, a Martial Soul with illusory characteristics that provides significant damage reduction against physical attacks, making it an extremely powerful Martial Soul.

He is very strong in close combat, but apart from Xia Die and Di Qiu'er, the members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Team will not fight you one-on-one.
