Douluo: Legend of the Dragon King - The Voice of the Purple Emperor

Chapter 173 Golden Leaves and Peach Blossoms

"Impossible, absolutely impossible, he must be on drugs."

"Drugs? That's your whole life, you try getting to level 68 and see what happens."

"I don't have money to buy medicine!"

"Who on earth said all that nonsense? There are so many people here, don't let me find you. If I do, you're in for a world of hurt."

……

How is that possible?

Ye Shihong, standing in front of Gu You, visibly trembled.

He was once hailed as the top prodigy of the outer academy six years ago. Now, with the emergence of new students, how could this be so outrageous? He would never believe it if he were beaten to death. How could anyone break through to the Soul Emperor level before the age of fourteen?

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with your health? Why don't you wait until you're better before you get vaccinated?" Gu You asked with concern.

"I'm in perfect health," Ye Shihong said, clenching the muscles in his face.

"Alright, let's get started quickly, I still have a blacksmith competition."

"Lower-grade students choose the competition format." The referee looked at Gu You; this was one of the few favorable conditions in their favor.

"Just do as usual, seven-on-seven system." Gu You replied nonchalantly.

The referee turned to the sixth grade team, "Sixth grade, please send seven students to compete. Both sides have three minutes to prepare. After three minutes, organize your formation and come up to compete."

These three minutes are clearly for both sides to plan their tactics based on the number of players.

Two and a half minutes passed quickly, and both teams had already lined up in formation.

The seven participants from Class 1, Grade 1 are Gu You, Tang Wulin, Gu Yue, Ye Xinglan, Xu Lizhi, Xu Xiaoyan, and Xie Xie.

The sixth-grade students who appeared were Ye Shihong, Zhou Tian, ​​Bai Hanying, Qian Xingmo, Yong Hunxiao, Bujiantian, and He Xiao. That's seven people in total.

on the rostrum.

With a smile, Ya Li asked Cai Yue'er beside her, "I wonder how that brat's strength has improved in the years we haven't seen him. You guys say he's improved quite a bit."

Cai Yue'er smiled and said, "Your cultivation has already reached this level, and you are capable of handling things on your own."

Yali remained silent, her gaze fixed on the upcoming match below.

Looking at the formation of the sixth graders opposite them, Gu You smiled. It was clearly an offensive formation, with no support-type Soul Masters. They were all skilled in combat. Bai Hanying, standing in the center of the group, was probably the main control Soul Master. The others were either all offensive or all agile attackers.

You can't blame the opposing team for their picks. After all, what's the point of using support characters when playing against first-year students? This is just pure stomping and getting completely crushed by the opponents.

However, the sixth graders guessed wrong this time because the team members had been decided in advance, and they couldn't change it after learning about Gu You's soul power, which resulted in the current awkward lineup that consisted entirely of attackers.

"Half a minute left, both sides get ready." The referee's voice came from afar.

Gu You took a step forward, his aura soaring, causing the entire arena to tremble slightly.

Taking another deep breath, Gu You's eyes shone with a faint purplish-gold hue, and his aura grew increasingly heavy, rather than adding unnecessary pressure. Faintly, faint purplish-gold patterns could be seen appearing on his neck.

Drawn by the aura emanating from Gu You, Ye Zhenghong's momentum also continued to rise. Before the match even began, the clash of auras between the two captains had already commenced.

Gu You's aura is growing stronger, while Ye Zhenghong's is growing weaker.

Meanwhile, there was constant friction between the team members, but Gu You's team was at a disadvantage, relying entirely on him to support the entire team.

The two sides' momentum continued to clash and impact each other, and strong energy fluctuations were already faintly visible on the stage.

"Three, two, one, the match begins!"

With the referee's announcement, the highly anticipated match between the first-year students and the sixth-year students finally began.

Without hesitation, Gu You stomped his left foot on the ground and shot out like a cannonball, heading straight for the opponent's main control soul master. He didn't even release his own martial soul; rings of purple-gold soul rings appeared on his body as he directly activated his blood soul rings and the Purple-Gold Dragon Armor.

As its body lunged forward, it expanded, scales appeared, its left arm swelled, and its dragon claw was released.

Ye Shihong's reaction was basically the same as Gu You's, but he didn't rush in blindly; six soul rings floated beneath his feet.

Many emerald-gold leaves appeared around him, and at the same time, his fourth spirit ring lit up.

Golden Leaf Wall!

The golden leaves formed a huge fortress, protecting the entire sixth-grade team in front.

The players from both sides reacted differently.

Gu Yue stood still, and Xu Xiaoyan stepped forward, holding her hand. Instantly, a blizzard erupted around the two of them, creating a combined crowd control effect!

Xie Xie vanished the instant the blizzard appeared, slipping away. Xu Lizhi muttered incantations as he made buns.

Ye Xinglan took over Gu Youyuan's position and stood at the front.

There's no way to fight these Soul Kings and Soul Emperors head-on. The best approach right now is to use small, continuous attacks to wear them down.

On the other side, the other sixth-grade students also released their martial spirits.

Among them, Yonghunxiao's martial soul is the most special. He has an extra long flute in his hand, and five soul rings rise from his feet.

He put the flute to his lips and blew, and immediately, a mournful sound of a xiao (a type of vertical bamboo flute) filled the air.

Everyone in Class 1, Grade 1, except for Gu You, felt dizzy.

Group control soul skill, musical martial soul?

"Are you kidding me?" Gu You slapped his head hard. He was so stupid. How could the main control Soul Master on the other side be so swaggeringly placed in the very center?

Unexpectedly, Yonghunxiao was actually the opponent's control-type battle spirit master, and a five-ring group control master at that.

Bai Hanying, who was originally standing in the group control Soul Master position, smiled slightly, took a step back, and made way for Duan Hunxiao to take her place. She had an extra branch in her hand, with pink cherry blossoms on it. As she waved the branch, the cherry blossom petals scattered, complementing the golden leaves. Each falling cherry blossom seemed to dance with the golden leaves, making the golden light bursting from each leaf even more intense.

The blizzard was noticeably slowed down by the influence of the Soul-Severing Night.

"Let's take care of those behind us first, then we'll fight that Soul Emperor together later." A long sword appeared in Qianye Mo's left hand, and he instantly disappeared from the sixth-grade team.

When it reappeared, it was already in front of Ye Xinglan.

Ye Xinglan's eyes were filled with unwavering sword intent, and three soul rings rose beneath her feet.

With this level of strength alone, she simply cannot contend with Qian Xingmo, who is a Soul King. But don't forget the fruits of her labor!

Starlight flickered on her arms and shoulders, accompanied by streams of light surging from her right forearm. The One-Word Battle Armor Gauntlet was released and quickly covered Ye Xinglan's palms and forearms.

Her silver armor shimmered with starlight, and her aura was imposing...
