Douluo Continent II: The Dragon King Suppresses the World!

Shrek team waiting area.

"Xiyao, how are you? Are you alright?" Ye Qi'an asked.

"Brother, I'm fine. Everything is going according to plan," Ye Xiyao said cheerfully.

Watching this scene, Dai Huabin wanted to say something, but the words stuck in his throat. Zhu Lu, standing behind Dai Huabin, had a strange light flash in her eyes. She lowered her head and clasped her hands together in front of her.

When Zheng Zhan's voice came from the direction of the arena again, Ye Qi'an and Ye Xiyao stood up at the same time. A powerful aura surged out from the two of them like a tide, and the group of seven walked onto the Soul Battle Arena in a grand manner.

On the other side, the six members of the Sun and Moon team also went up onto the stage. The two sides faced each other and slowly walked towards the center of the arena.

Zheng Zhan looked at both sides and said loudly, "Both sides, state your names."

"Shrek, Ye Qi'an."

"Shrek, Ye Xiyao"

"Shrek, Dai Huabin."

"Shrek, Zhu Lu".

"Shrek, Cao Jinxuan."

"Shrek, Lan Susu."

"Shrek, Lan Luoluo."

At Shrek Academy, everyone's voice was very serious.

"Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Laughing at the Mortal World."

"Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Dream of the Mortal World".

"Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Lan Xiu."

"Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Qiu Yi."

"Ye Nongfeng, Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy".

"Ding Xiaobu, Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy."

"Both sides step back and prepare for the match." Zheng Zhan didn't even give the two teams a pre-match pep talk.

Both teams quickly retreated to the edge of the playing area, then turned around. The Shrek team had already set up their formation, with Ye Xiyao undoubtedly standing at the very front, becoming the core of the entire team. To her left was Dai Huabin, and to her right was Lan Susu. Behind Dai Huabin was Zhu Lu, and behind Lan Susu was her younger sister Lan Luoluo. Cao Jinxuan was behind Ye Xiyao, while Ye Qi'an, the absolute main force, stood at the very back.

On the opposite side, on the Sun and Moon team's side, standing at the very front was a tall player named Qiu Yi, with Xiao Hongchen and his sister standing side by side behind him. Behind them were Lan Xiu and a player named Ye Nongfeng, with Ding Xiaobu standing at the very back.

"Both sides, prepare." Zheng Zhan didn't know why, but he felt a little nervous, but also a little excited.

Ye Xiyao raised her right hand, and the Golden Dragon Spear appeared in her hand. Then she took a step forward, as if the Golden Dragon Spear was about to leave her body in the next second.

Qiu Yi, standing at the forefront of the Sun and Moon team, clasped his hands together in front of him, and a giant round shield appeared in his hands. With the infusion of soul power, a silver light immediately emanated from the gem in the center, covering the entire shield and instantly enveloping all his teammates behind him. Then, a circle of ice-blue light could be seen extending from Qiu Yi's feet and spreading across the entire arena.

Ye Xiyao gripped the Golden Dragon Spear and leaped forward with her toes touching the ground. Behind her, her companions were not far behind. Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, Lan Susu, and Lan Luoluo also leaped forward at the same time, following Ye Xiyao side by side. Ye Qian followed behind everyone at a leisurely pace, without even releasing his martial spirit.

Cao Jinxuan also released his martial soul, and the light of Time Flies behind him shone brightly. However, at this moment, he did not use any soul skills, but focused on watching the entire scene.

With a loud bang, the Golden Dragon Spear collided with the shield, and Qiu Yi, who was so strong and always known for his strength, was actually knocked back a few steps by the spear. At the same time, the Sun and Moon Team also started to operate at full speed.

At this moment, under Meng Hongchen's full activation, Zhu Qingbing's deadly poison had covered half of the area, and Ye Xiyao was the first to enter this world of poison.

Not only that, but on the Sun and Moon team's side, nine clusters of silver light rose up from behind Qiu Yi one after another. The nine clusters of light floated in the air and shot out at the same time, intertwining in the air to form a net of light, which blocked Ye Xiyao's path.

"Pfft!" The golden dragon spear swept horizontally and collided fiercely with the silver light net. Ye Xiyao's powerful strength failed for the first time, and a strong rebound force actually bounced her body back.

Behind Xiao Hongchen and his sister, Lan Xiu's eyes shone brightly with silver light, and his hands moved rhythmically. The nine silver lights in the air had now appeared, which were his soul tool Nine Luminaries. The nine silver lights crisscrossed in the air, forcefully blocking the first wave of attack from the Shrek team.

"I'll keep an eye on Ye Xiyao, you guys deal with the others," Lan Xiu said in a deep voice.

Ye Xiyao was bounced back and looked up at the nine silver lights in the sky. She raised her golden dragon spear and this time aimed it at the sky.

The Nine Luminaries also changed rapidly in the air. The nine metal spheres quickly gathered together, and then, they emitted a burst of silver light. The nine silver lights actually merged into one and bombarded Ye Xiyao.

Just as Ye Xiyao's golden dragon spear was launched, it collided with the silver light. The silver light dissipated, but she was also thrown more than ten meters away.

Just as Ye Xiyao was thrown back, another person appeared beside Qiu Yi. Seven soul rings, two yellow, two purple, and three black, were shining and rising on his body. Cannon barrels were rapidly taking shape under the fusion of specks of light. It was Xiao Hongchen, who had obviously reached the Soul Saint level.

Countless artillery barrages erupted instantly, engulfing Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, and the Lan Susu sisters, making it impossible for them to get close.

Ding Xiaobu had already vanished silently behind the team as a blur, and the Shrek team, which had taken the initiative to attack, was now completely suppressed.

Countless cannons formed from his soul power erupted wildly. Behind him, Meng Hongchen also slid out, clad in ice-blue armor, wielding a blue longsword in each hand, and rushed toward Ye Xiyao at incredible speed.

Behind Xiao Hongchen was another person, Ye Nongfeng, who had not shown any signs before. At this moment, Ye Nongfeng was carrying a special soul tool on his shoulder. It was a cylindrical object at the back and a coiled object at the front. The coils of bright light fluctuated irregularly and gathered towards the triangular tip at the very front.

The four people who rushed forward with Ye Xiyao did not scatter because of the powerful strength displayed by their opponent. The four of them gathered together, and layers of blue light nets quickly spread out, forming a huge protective shield that protected the four of them. They quickly headed towards Ye Xiyao's direction.

Xiao Hongchen wasn't in a hurry at all. He thought that with Lan Xiu and his sister keeping Ye Xiyao in check, that was enough.

After being blasted back, Ye Xiyao stopped fighting head-on and began to move quickly, constantly dodging the encirclement and interception of the silver light in the air. However, under Lan Xiu's control, Jiu Yao greatly restricted Ye Xiyao, preventing her from getting close to their side.

Just then, Meng Hongchen arrived. A pair of ice-blue longswords, each carrying a sword beam, rushed straight towards Ye Xiyao. In the sky, nine silver lights also fell simultaneously. Three beams of light went straight for her right arm, which held the Golden Dragon Spear, while the other six beams of light, like a crossed cage, clamped down on her body, seemingly trying to completely suppress her to the ground.

With the arrival of Meng Hongchen, the potent poison of the Zhu Qing Ice Toad enveloped all members of the Shrek team. However, at that moment, a golden light shone on each member of the Shrek team, keeping the poison of the Zhu Qing Ice Toad at bay.

"Heh, Laughing at the World, do you think you can defeat me just because you've reached the Soul Saint level?"

A deep voice rang out from behind Xiao Hongchen, and at the same time, a hand was placed on his shoulder. That person was Ye Qi'an, who had been following behind the group earlier.

Ye Qi'an's sudden appearance startled Xiao Hongchen. He had not expected Ye Qi'an to be able to approach him so silently. Just as Xiao Hongchen was about to react, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from Ye Qi'an.

With a gentle wave of his hand, Ye Qian unleashed an invisible wave of power that instantly spread outwards. The artillery fire that had been relentlessly attacking Dai Huabin and the others seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, changing direction and shooting towards the sky. In an instant, the artillery fire exploded in mid-air, illuminating the entire competition venue with brilliant light.

Seeing the change in her brother's situation, Meng Hongchen was startled, but her attack did not stop in the slightest. Her ice-blue longsword continued to stab towards Ye Xiyao.

However, Ye Xiyao revealed a confident smile at this moment. She slammed the golden dragon spear in her hand into the ground, and a powerful golden light burst out from the spear. Then, Meng Hongchen's body flew out.

With a crisp snapping sound, her pair of level-six soul-guided longswords were actually shattered in two by the Golden Dragon Spear. Immediately afterward, the Golden Dragon Spear struck her between the chest and abdomen. While still in mid-air, Meng Hongchen was already spitting out blood. She finally crashed into a barrier in the distance before falling to the ground.

Not only was her sword broken, but large cracks also appeared in the protective armor between her chest and abdomen. Her hands were split open, bleeding profusely. This attack had already damaged her internal organs. Meng Hongchen was severely injured, and the poison dissipated as a result.

"Sister!" Xiao Hongchen cried out, her eyes reddening as she rushed out.

"With me here, you can't leave." With that, Ye Qi'an grabbed Xiao Hongchen by the neck.

At that moment, the situation on the field instantly became extremely tense. The audience stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what was happening before their eyes.

Xiao Hongchen's face turned red as Ye Qi'an grabbed him by the neck. He tried to struggle, his soul power surging wildly, but Ye Qi'an's strength was so great that he couldn't break free for a while.

"I forgot to tell you, I already reached the Soul Saint level, and now I'm a Soul Douluo!" Ye Qi'an said in a low voice, gripping Xiao Hongchen's neck.

Just then, a strange white bolt of lightning silently shot out, pointing directly at Ye Qi'an in the air. The white lightning came too suddenly, and the intense light directly enveloped Ye Qi'an's entire body.

Ye Qi'an frowned slightly, then flicked his hand and threw Xiao Hongchen away.

At this moment, a shocking scene unfolded. It could be clearly seen that Ye Qi'an's long golden hair had turned pale at an alarming rate, losing all its luster. Everyone could feel that his body was aging at an alarming speed.

The Aging Ray—a powerful soul tool newly developed by Mingde Hall, and its researcher is Ye Nongfeng, who is currently using it. At this moment, wrinkles have appeared on Ye Qi'an's forehead. However, after launching this attack, Ye Nongfeng's own face was also pale, and eighty percent of his soul power was also drained. But his eyes were filled with a crazy excitement.

Just then, a figure silently appeared behind Ye Qi'an, a transparent dagger aimed straight for the back of his neck. Ding Xiaobu, who had been missing all along, had finally reappeared.

"Captain!" Cao Jinxuan, Lan Luoluo, and Lan Susu all exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

"The aging ray is nothing special. You don't really think you can ambush me, do you?" Ye Qi'an sneered. A golden light flashed on his body, and the Golden Dragon King Martial Soul instantly possessed him. One blue-gold, one black-gold, and six crimson-gold soul rings lit up at the same time. At the same moment, his aura began to rise terrifyingly, and a series of loud dragon roars rang out. His pale hair regained its luster, and gold rapidly spread down from the roots.

"Eight-ring Soul Douluo!!" At this moment, the entire arena erupted in uproar. No one had expected that Ye Qi'an would be hiding such powerful strength.

Ye Nongfeng's eyes widened in disbelief that his aging rays had failed to work on Ye Qi'an. Ding Xiaobu's dagger, which was aimed at Ye Qi'an, also stopped instantly. He felt a powerful pressure emanating from Ye Qi'an, which filled him with fear, and he dared not take another step forward.

Xiao Hongchen got up from the ground, his eyes filled with shock. Ye Qi'an was no longer someone they could easily deal with.

"So, you can die now." Ye Qi'an said, his body suddenly flipping over, and his golden dragon claws, covered in dragon scales, grabbed Ding Xiaobu's neck.

Ding Xiaobu's face turned deathly pale instantly. He struggled desperately, dropping the transparent dagger from his hand. He tried to pry open Ye Qi'an's dragon claws with both hands, but the dragon claws were as if they were made of steel and did not budge.

"No...don't..." Ding Xiaobu managed to squeeze out a few words, his eyes filled with fear and despair.

On the Sun and Moon team's side, Xiao Hongchen and the others had terribly gloomy expressions.

Xiao Hongchen gritted his teeth and shouted, "Ye Qi'an, if you dare kill him, our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy will never let you get away with this!"

Ye Qi'an sneered and said, "You won't let me go? Then come and try. On this field, there is only victory and defeat." After saying that, he exerted a little force on his hand, and Ding Xiaobu's breath grew weaker and weaker.

Just then, Chief Referee Zheng Zhan, wielding the Indestructible Shield, rapidly approached Ye Qi'an, shouting, "Stop!"

Ye Qi'an narrowed his eyes slightly, watching Zheng Zhan rapidly approach, and a slight smile appeared on his lips: "Alright, then you'd better be ready."

Suddenly, Ye Qi'an threw Ding Xiaobu in his hand at Zheng Zhan with all his might.

Zheng Zhan hurriedly raised the Indestructible Divine Shield. The moment he caught Ding Xiaobu, his body was instantly forced back and slammed hard into the Soul Guidance Shield. Ding Xiaobu, whose aura was already weak, coughed up blood again after the impact and fell into a coma.

"Ding Xiaobu is out."

Dai Huabin roared to the sky, pulled Zhu Lu beside him with his right hand, and embraced her. In an instant, a strong white light shot into the sky, and a huge white tiger appeared out of nowhere, as if it had traversed the void. In an instant, it arrived in front of Ye Nongfeng, who had just released the aging ray, and its tiger claws went straight for Ye Nongfeng.

At this moment, Lan Xiu finally woke up from Cao Jinxuan's fourth soul skill - Time Lock, and hurriedly activated the Nine Luminaries of the Sky to block the attack of the Netherworld White Tiger.

The Netherworld White Tiger withstood the nine rebounding rays shooting down from the sky. Its claws first sent Qiu Yi, the defensive Soul Master who was blocking its way, flying to the side. Then, it slammed its claws together, instantly turning Ye Nongfeng into a meat patty. It wasn't until the second silver light of the Nine Luminaries fell that the Netherworld White Tiger was finally sent flying.

Qiu Yi quickly returned to defend in front of Lan Xiu, his shield gleaming with silver light as he activated his defense to its maximum.

On Shrek Team's side, it wasn't just Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu who launched the attack. The Lan sisters, hand in hand, with their long hair flowing, soared into the sky. In the blink of an eye, they filled the entire arena with their long hair before descending from the sky, enveloping Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, and the Nine Luminaries in the sky.

The Hongchen siblings, trapped in the inescapable net, also displayed formidable strength. A strange noise rang out from Meng Hongchen's mouth, her sixth soul ring lit up, and bulges rapidly rose on her back, with layers of icy blue light continuously surging, and a terrifying aura soaring continuously.

Compared to Meng Hongchen, Xiao Hongchen transformed into a gigantic three-legged golden toad. However, he only maintained this form for a moment before changing again. In the blink of an eye, he became a massive cannon platform covered with cannon barrels, unleashing hundreds of beams of light that forcefully blocked the net of heaven and earth that descended from the sky. He also sent out a large number of soul-guided rays to cover the rest of Shrek Academy.

The Heavenly Net was quickly dispelled by the frantically erupting soul-guiding light, and the two sisters turned pale. The same thing happened to the Netherworld White Tiger. The illusory light emanating from the Netherworld White Tiger gradually dimmed, and Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu's Martial Soul Fusion Skill could not be maintained for much longer.

Meng Hongchen, who had already completed his preparations, unleashed his power. Streams of blue-white, liquid-like light shot out, heading straight for Ye Qi'an in the air. Although there were only a dozen or so of these strange lights, when they appeared in the air, an indescribable stench made people nauseous. Even Xiao Hongchen instantly jumped back, widening the distance between himself and Meng Hongchen.

"Freeze—" Ye Qi'an whispered, and the left leg bone of the Ice and Fire Dragon King quietly appeared, shining brightly, and an extreme cold aura instantly spread out.

The dozen or so eerie blue-white beams of light were frozen in mid-air by the icy aura the moment they approached Ye Qi'an, resembling a dozen or so crystal-clear ice pillars.

Ye Qi'an looked coldly at the Sun and Moon Team members below.

At this moment, Meng Hongchen's face was pale, clearly indicating that this attack had consumed a great deal of her power. The huge cannon that Xiao Hongchen had transformed into was still continuously spewing out soul-guided light, but it could not break through the icy domain surrounding Ye Qi'an.

The Netherworld White Tiger duo of Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu had finished their attack. Both were panting heavily as they launched a frenzied assault, but their attacks were completely blocked by the shield in Qiu Yi's hand, which emitted a strong silver light.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lan Xiu was able to free his hands to help Xiao Hongchen and his sister. Nine silver lights shot towards Ye Qi'an like lightning. However, when the silver lights came into contact with the icy domain, their speed decreased sharply and they were gradually frozen.

"This is the soul tool you're so proud of? It's nothing special."

Ye Qi'an raised his hand and summoned the Nine Luminaries, which were frozen in the air, to fly uncontrollably toward him. He raised his hand slightly and made a grasping motion. Under Ye Qi'an's control, the frozen Nine Luminaries trembled violently, as if struggling, but Ye Qi'an's strength was extremely powerful, and the Nine Luminaries could not break free at all.

Lan Xiu's expression changed drastically. He desperately tried to regain control of Jiu Yao by channeling his soul power, but to no avail.

"Hmph, you think you can resist?" Ye Qi'an sneered, increasing the force in his hand. With a few "crack" sounds, cracks appeared on the frozen Nine Luminaries.

"Boom boom boom...!" Nine booming sounds rang out almost simultaneously, and the Nine Luminaries in the air instantly turned into fragments.

With his soul tools destroyed, Lan Xiu collapsed to the ground. His mental energy was entirely connected to the nine soul tools, which severely damaged his mental state.

The bombardment of the heavy cannon that Xiao Hongchen had transformed into suddenly stopped. Not far from him, Meng Hongchen, pale-faced, also suddenly pounced, transforming into a white light from behind and crashing into Xiao Hongchen. It was the martial soul fusion skill of the two siblings - Red Dust Affection.

Intense golden-red light burst forth from the two siblings, and a terrifying aura transformed into a huge, colorful vortex that suddenly rose from the two of them.

"sucker Punch."

Ye Qi'an snorted coldly, raised his hand and waved, pulling Ye Xiyao, who was not far away, behind him to stay with the Shrek Academy students. After settling them in, he turned his gaze back to Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen.
