Douluo Continent II: The Dragon King Suppresses the World!

Chapter 61 The Dragon God Descends

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong stood on the field, their faces solemn as they looked at the two fourth-level soul masters, Yingfeng and Yanren, sent by the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. The audience's hearts were in their throats as they watched this crucial battle with bated breath.

"Both sides retreat," Huang Jinxu, the Heavenly Fiend Douluo, ordered in a deep voice.

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong held hands and slowly retreated. This was the most stressful battle yet. If they lost, Shrek Academy would be out of the running for the championship. This was no longer just a competition, but a war, a war to the death.

Huang Jinxu, the Heavenly Fiend Douluo, raised his right hand high and then brought it down instantly: "The match begins."

With a command from Tian Sha Douluo, the competition officially began. Ying Feng and Yan Ren immediately sprang into action, swiftly unleashing various powerful soul tools. Amidst flashes of light, a series of devastating attacks hurtled towards Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong.

Huo Yuhao's eyes narrowed, and he activated his mental detection at full power. Everything around him and Wang Dong were clearly displayed in their minds. The wings of the Goddess of Light butterfly behind Wang Dong fluttered gently, allowing Huo Yuhao to nimbly dodge the attacks.

"Hmph, trying to hide? Not so easy!" Yingfeng sneered, and the soul-guided cannon in his hand shone brightly, shooting a thick beam of energy towards Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong.

Huo Yuhao's heart tightened, and he quickly pulled Wang Dong to the side to dodge. The energy beam almost grazed their bodies, and the powerful impact made them sway slightly.

"Wang Dong, we can't keep passively dodging like this. We need to find a way to fight back," Huo Yuhao said to Wang Dong through mental detection.

Wang Dong nodded, flapping his wings to constantly change position in the air, dodging the attacks of the two Soul Masters while looking for an opportunity to counterattack. Just then, Yan Ren launched another attack, with several small Soul Guidance Missiles whistling towards them.

In that instant, Wang Dong's wings unfurled in the air, golden light patterns shone brightly along with the dazzling light of his second soul ring, and a large number of golden light spheres shot out instantly, bombarding the whistling soul-guided missiles.

The explosion illuminated the entire arena. Seeing their attacks easily neutralized, Shadow Blade and Flame Blade's expressions became even more serious. After exchanging a glance, they decided to change tactics, abandoning ranged attacks and quickly closing in on Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong in an attempt to engage in close combat.

Huo Yuhao immediately sensed their intentions and used mental detection to warn Wang Dong: "They're getting close, be careful."

Wang Dong nodded slightly, the wings of the Goddess of Light butterfly behind him fluttering gently, ready to deal with any enemy attack.

Shadow Blade and Flame Blade charged toward Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong with the speed and ferocity of cheetahs, their melee soul tools gleaming with a cold light.

Wang Dong's wings twitched slightly, and his body instantly rose higher, avoiding Ying Feng's attack. Huo Yuhao nimbly dodged to the side, avoiding Yan Ren's attack. At the same time, a flash of light appeared in his hand, and an ice spike shot out.

Flame Blade hurriedly used his shield to block, but the ice spikes shattered instantly upon impact. The powerful impact still forced the Soul Master back a few steps. Shadow Blade seized the opportunity to pounce on Huo Yuhao again, his short sword radiating a sharp aura.

Huo Yuhao remained calm and composed. His mental detection allowed him to anticipate the Soul Master's attack trajectory. He slightly turned his body, letting the short sword graz his body, while his left hand swiftly reached out and grabbed Yingfeng's wrist. Huo Yuhao twisted it forcefully, and Yingfeng, in pain, dropped the short sword from his hand.

Wang Dong launched his attack as well. With a flap of his wings, a golden light, like a sharp blade, flew towards Yan Ren. Yan Ren hurriedly dodged, but was still grazed on the arm by the light.

"Wang Dong, let's take care of them!" Huo Yuhao said, glancing at Wang Dong.

Wang Dong nodded slightly, and the wings of the Goddess of Light behind him shone even brighter. The golden and blue wings quietly unfolded, while Huo Yuhao's clothes suddenly ripped apart, revealing the huge Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion stab on his back. The Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's emerald green tail extended all the way down to his belt. Under these circumstances, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong embraced each other.

Thousands of rays of light burst forth from Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's bodies like an explosion. Immediately afterwards, their golden-blue wings expanded outward at an astonishing speed. Originally, the wings of the Goddess of Light Butterfly only had forewings and hindwings, but now, a pair of emerald-colored middle wings were added. As the magnificent wings unfolded, layers of frost aura were released from their feet, making their gradually slender figures look so noble.

Frost quietly spread, and everything around began to transform into a world of ice and snow. The combined bodies of Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong also underwent a stunning transformation. A woman's figure quietly appeared within the tri-colored halo. She had long, pinkish-blue hair that reached her feet, and her eyes were a brilliant gold.

The next moment she moved, taking a small step forward with her left foot. Her slender body was already in mid-air, and thick ice mist spread out from her feet, turning into wisps that rose and swirled around her.

The audience was stunned by the amazing sight, and the arena was silent for a moment. Yingfeng and Yanren from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy were even more astonished, as they had never seen such a Martial Soul Fusion Skill before.

The woman slightly raised her hand in mid-air, and a beam of icy blue light shot out instantly, heading straight for Yingfeng. Yingfeng hurriedly raised his soul tool to defend, but the extreme ice power contained in the light was too strong, instantly freezing the soul tool and continuing forward, striking Yingfeng's body. Yingfeng felt an icy chill assail him, his body instantly frozen stiff, unable to move.

Seeing this, Yan Ren was greatly alarmed and turned to flee. But how could the woman let him escape so easily? With a gentle flap of her three-colored butterfly wings, countless ice blades rained down on Yan Ren like a storm. Yan Ren desperately dodged, but was still struck by many ice blades, and multiple wounds appeared on his body, bleeding profusely.

The woman's face was expressionless, yet her eyes revealed a sense of majesty. She slowly raised her hands, causing the surrounding icy mist to thicken and the temperature to plummet. Shadowblade and Flameblade gradually lost consciousness in this extreme cold.

A burst of enthusiastic cheers erupted from the crowd. Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's Martial Soul Fusion Skill had created a miracle, winning a crucial victory for Shrek Academy.

The tricolor light receded, and the stunningly beautiful girl had transformed back into a dense, colorful halo, quietly dissipating. Two figures, tightly embracing each other, reappeared on the competition stage, their faces undoubtedly pale. They supported and leaned on each other.

Huang Jinxu, the Heavenly Fiend Douluo, took a deep breath and announced loudly, "The second match of the 2-2-3 Battle Strategy is over. The winner is Shrek Academy. The current score is 1-1. Please send out your participants for the third match."

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong helped each other off the competition stage. Although their faces were full of fatigue, their eyes sparkled with the joy of victory. Wang Yan and the others hurriedly stepped forward and carefully helped them to the side to rest.

"Now it's our turn," Ye Qi'an said, standing up and glancing at Gu Yuena.

"Qi An, your next opponents are Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, a brother and sister. You've already seen their strengths. Are you confident?" Wang Yan said with a slight sigh of relief.

Ye Qi'an narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Don't worry, everything is under my control. They can't win. Nana, let's go and take them down."

Ye Qi'an and Gu Yuena walked onto the competition stage side by side, while Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, the two siblings, stood opposite them with a hint of disdain on their faces.

Xiao Hongchen sneered, "You think you can beat us? You're dreaming."

"Remember what I said, and I hope you can maintain this level of performance after the competition."

Ye Qi'an smiled wickedly, his originally pale gold eyes turning blood red.

Seeing Ye Qian'an's attitude, Xiao Hongchen felt a surge of anger. "Hmph, don't be so arrogant! You'll see later."

Xiao Hongchen, a five-ring Soul King, whose martial soul is the Three-Legged Golden Toad, is a level-five Soul Master.

Meng Hongchen, a five-ring Soul King, whose Martial Soul is the Zhu Qing Ice Toad, is a level-five Soul Master.

Ye Qi'an, a four-ring Soul Master (fourth seal), Martial Soul: Golden Dragon King.

Gu Yuena, a four-ring Soul Master (currently suppressing her cultivation), Martial Soul: Silver Dragon King.

The difference in cultivation levels between the two sides was so obvious, yet in this battle, no one believed that the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy would definitely win.

"Both sides retreat," Huang Jinxu, the Heavenly Fiend Douluo, said in a deep voice.

Ye Qian pulled Gu Yuena's hand and slowly retreated to the edge of the competition stage. The two stood side by side, not as nervous as expected.

Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen also retreated to the edge of the arena, with Meng Hongchen in front and Xiao Hongchen behind. Xiao Hongchen's physical condition was still not good. He was seriously injured by Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's martial soul fusion technique. Although his broken bones had been put back in place and his injuries had been treated, he still felt sharp pain all over his body from time to time.

Huang Jinxu, the Heavenly Fiend Douluo, took a deep breath, raised his right hand high, and then brought it down in an instant: "The match begins."

With his shout, everyone's attention was focused on the arena. On the city wall, Emperor Xingluo and Duke Baihu stopped talking and placed their hands on the battlements, all watching the match intently.

As the match began, both sides released their martial spirits simultaneously. Meng Hongchen raised both arms to his sides at the same time, and two ice-blue level 6 soul tool rapiers appeared in his hands. His level 6 defensive soul tool armor also instantly enveloped his body.

Xiao Hongchen took a deep breath, suppressing the pain within his body, and released his Three-Legged Golden Toad Martial Soul. The moment the golden powder was scattered, metal cannons began to appear on his body. As these metal cannons took shape, Xiao Hongchen also released a thick, dark cannon and carried it on his shoulder.

As they rapidly released their soul tools, Ye Qi'an and Gu Yuena began to move quickly, each of them displaying four soul rings of different colors: crimson gold and light gold.

Xiao Hongchen launched the first attack, with soul-guided rays and soul-guided cannons sweeping towards the two like an energy storm, including many soul-guided devices with locking capabilities.

Ye Qi'an's eyes narrowed, and his first and second soul rings lit up simultaneously. A golden shield instantly appeared, protecting him. Facing the attack of the level 5 soul tool, Ye Qi'an didn't bother to dodge at all. He flashed in front of Gu Yuena and blocked her. The golden shield shone brightly under the attack of the soul tool but remained standing. At this moment, the distance between the two sides had been reduced to within 30 meters.

Meng Hongchen lightly touched the ground with her toes, her delicate body flashing out. With a gentle wave of her two slender swords, two blades of light slashed straight towards the path the two were destined to take.

In that instant, Gu Yuena's body suddenly flipped out from behind Ye Qi'an, facing the two blades of light directly, and she whispered, "Spatial Shift!"

As soon as Gu Yuena finished speaking, the two originally menacing light blades vanished instantly, and then suddenly appeared behind the two of them. However, the two light blades collided with each other not far away, bursting out a cloud of icy mist.

Zhu Qing's deadly poison finally appeared. The hearts of everyone at Shrek Academy tightened instantly. Whether they could resist this poison was one of the key factors in the outcome of the match. The icy mist covered a huge area, and Ye Qi'an was enveloped in it almost immediately. However, Gu Yuena seemed not to feel the poison coming from behind, and instead turned to face the two of them.

Ye Qi'an, enveloped in the icy mist, frowned slightly. He could sense the potent poison within the mist attempting to erode his body. However, how could the Golden Dragon King bloodline within him be so easily affected? Ye Qi'an snorted coldly, his body radiating golden light, and a powerful force surged forth from within him, instantly dispelling the surrounding icy mist.

At this moment, Gu Yuena's dragon wings spread in the air, and the red light sphere stopped in front of her. With the first soul ring shining brightly, the red light sphere spread across the sky and bombarded Xiao Hongchen. The violent roar exploded wildly within a twenty-meter range.

Xiao Hongchen's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly manipulated the metal cannon barrel on his body to defend himself. Amidst a series of explosions, Xiao Hongchen was forced to retreat by the powerful impact. Seeing this, Meng Hongchen let out a delicate shout and charged towards Gu Yuena with her rapier, trying to stop her attack.

Gu Yuena's eyes turned cold. With a gentle flap of her dragon wings, a powerful gust of air swept out, neutralizing Meng Hongchen's attack. At the same time, Ye Qian'an flashed forward like lightning, rushing towards Xiao Hongchen. Xiao Hongchen gritted his teeth, once again hoisting the dark cannon barrel, preparing to launch an even more powerful attack.

However, Ye Qi'an was too fast. Before Xiao Hongchen could even unleash the energy from the cannon, he had already reached Xiao Hongchen. Ye Qi'an swung his fist, slamming it down on Xiao Hongchen with the immense power of the Golden Dragon King. Xiao Hongchen tried to block with the cannon barrel, but the impact left his arm numb.

Seeing her brother in trouble, Meng Hongchen was anxious and turned to rescue him. But Gu Yuena wouldn't let her succeed so easily. Her second spirit ring shone, and a silver light shot out, instantly binding Meng Hongchen.

Seeing his sister bound, Xiao Hongchen panicked. Ye Qi'an seized the opportunity to launch another attack, punching Xiao Hongchen one after another. Under Ye Qi'an's fierce attack, Xiao Hongchen gradually found it difficult to hold on.

Just then, Xiao Hongchen suddenly roared, his martial spirit shone brightly, and he poured his soul power into the dark cannon barrel. The barrel flashed with light, and a terrifying energy began to gather, heading straight for Gu Yuena.

Ye Qian sensed the danger and quickly retreated, shouting to Gu Yuena, "Watch out!"

Gu Yuena nodded slightly, and a silver light shield instantly enveloped her. The energy beam struck the silver light shield, making a loud noise. The light shield shook violently, but ultimately it still withstood Xiao Hongchen's attack.

"Sister, come on. Let's end them. We can't hesitate any longer," Xiao Hongchen said in a deep voice.

Meng Hongchen hesitated and said, "But your body..."

Xiao Hongchen said arrogantly, "What's a little injury? Let them see our strongest attack." As he spoke, all the soul tools on Xiao Hongchen's body suddenly disintegrated, and he opened his arms to his sister.

The slender sword in Meng Hongchen's hand vanished. She turned around and threw herself into Xiao Hongchen's arms. Instantly, a beam of light, a mixture of gold and ice blue, shot into the sky, engulfing their bodies.

"Qi'an, let's begin." Gu Yuena said, removing the silver shield from her body and looking at Ye Qi'an.

Ye Qi'an smiled slightly at Gu Yuena, completely unconcerned about how powerful the Martial Soul Fusion Skill used by the two Soul Kings, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, was.

"Let's begin."

As soon as the words fell, Ye Qi'an and Gu Yuena's figures simultaneously became illusory, gradually decomposing into a large number of gold and silver particles. These gold and silver particles intertwined and merged in the air, as if forming a nebula. Amidst the flashing light, a powerful pressure spread out.

As the gold and silver particles continued to merge, a huge light and shadow slowly emerged. Within the light and shadow, the outline of a dragon could be vaguely seen, majestic and sacred. When the light and shadow was fully formed, a terrifying power swept across the entire competition venue like a storm.

It was an indescribable light of nothingness. Everything around seemed to have completely disappeared, leaving only a figure radiating a colorful halo. Behind that figure, a huge throne, three meters tall, appeared, carved with numerous dragon patterns, looking extremely majestic.

The figure sat steadily on the throne. In the blink of an eye, the illusory image on the throne solidified, and the figure on the throne exuded an aura of majesty. It was a being dressed in magnificent clothes, which were embroidered with exquisite dragon patterns and shimmered with a faint golden light.

His face was cold and noble, his majestic dragon eyes were so striking that no one dared to look directly at him. His long hair was as smooth as silk, and it shone brightly in the light. His figure was upright, exuding an innate kingly aura. He sat quietly on the throne, as if he controlled the entire world. His hands rested naturally on the armrests of the throne, his fingers long and strong, and every movement was full of elegance and majesty.

Everything changed rapidly. Both sides actually used their Martial Soul Fusion Skill at the same time. This was the first time this had happened in the current All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament. The audience felt like their hearts were about to jump out of their throats. Such a scene was probably a once-in-a-century event.

On the competition stage, even the Heavenly Fiend Douluo was dumbfounded at this moment, because he clearly felt that his movements had slowed down uncontrollably. Not only that, he felt a tightness in his chest, as if the person in front of him was invincible.

On Shrek Academy's side, even Elder Xuan clenched his fists, and Wang Yan was even afraid to look, covering his face with his hands, only his eyes showing. They had a general idea of ​​what the previous martial soul fusion skills led by Ye Qi'an and Gu Yuena were like, but in this situation, in terms of sheer power, they couldn't compare at all.

On the city wall, Emperor Xu Jiawei was also stunned. The final competition had turned into a duel of martial soul fusion skills. Who could have imagined that?

At this moment, the most frustrated and pained person was none other than the referee, Tian Sha Douluo. He had no idea how powerful the Martial Soul Fusion Skill would be! If the rescue wasn't timely, he would be finished, and the four people on the stage couldn't afford to be harmed.

The pillar of light that Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen were raising had changed. The pillar of light condensed in the air and turned into a giant toad shape. Most strangely, when all the light gathered on this toad, its color changed.

The gold of the three-legged golden toad and the icy blue of the Zhu Qing Ice Toad had completely disappeared at this moment, leaving only a red color that radiated a metallic luster. The giant toad, which was five meters tall, opened its mouth wide, and in its mouth, a faint reddish-gold vortex was spinning violently, as if it might spew out at any moment.

"Take this! I'll show you what a truly powerful Martial Soul Fusion Skill, 'Eternal Love,' is all about."

A vortex of crimson-gold light transformed into a torrent that poured down, sweeping straight towards the figure on the throne. The crimson-gold light was filled with the clang of metal and the coldness of ice. Even more terrifying was that when it appeared, it caused the air to distort violently due to its intense heat.

Facing the surging torrent of crimson-gold light, the figure on the throne slightly raised his head, a cold glint flashing in his dragon eyes. With a gentle twitch of his slender fingers, the dragon patterns around the throne seemed to come alive instantly, and streaks of golden light rose from the dragon patterns, forming a solid barrier.

The torrent of crimson-gold light crashed against the iridescent-gold barrier, producing a deafening roar. The entire arena trembled slightly under the powerful impact, and the audience's hearts leaped into their throats.

However, the golden barrier was as solid as a rock, firmly resisting the impact of the torrent of crimson-gold light. The figure on the throne frowned slightly, seemingly dissatisfied with the attack. He waved his hand gently, and a dazzling golden light slowly condensed from his hand.

"Pilgrimage members, why don't you kneel?"

As the majestic words of the figure on the throne resounded, the dazzling golden light shone even brighter, seemingly containing boundless pressure and immense power.

The atmosphere in the entire arena instantly became tense and solemn. The audience was stunned speechless by the sudden words and powerful aura, and all stared wide-eyed at the situation on the field.

After the torrent of crimson-gold light was blocked, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, the siblings, showed shock on their faces. They felt the immense pressure from the figure on the throne, but they were unwilling to give up. The giant toad let out another low roar, and the crimson-gold vortex in its mouth spun even more wildly, as if it was brewing an even more powerful attack.

The figure on the throne remained steadfast, the golden light continuously gathering in his hand. His gaze was cold and majestic, as if he were looking down at Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, the brother and sister, as if they were ants. In this tense standoff, the air seemed to freeze, and no one knew what kind of fierce collision would occur next.
