Peerless: Tang San, this time Huo Yuhao is the attacker.

Chapter 99 Wang Dong: Why am I so cowardly!

Because a protective shield was erected on the stage, the sound was greatly reduced, so the group couldn't hear what the audience was saying.

However, they could still see the anger on their opponents' faces.

Wang Dong looked at Huo Yuhao and Ling Luochen's clasped hands and couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

Although she kept telling herself that this was just for the sake of battle, her emotions were still affected every time she saw the two of them being so intimate.

"start!"

As the referee's voice faded, the seven members of the Tianling team activated their martial spirits, with several rounds of spirit rings swirling around them, demonstrating their strength.

All of them have the best spirit ring ratio: five spirit masters and two spirit lords.

Seeing this, the Shrek members were even more relieved and all turned their attention to the two people in front of them.

"The Fifth Ring! See that? That's the Soul King!"

"Shrek is truly Shrek! They're incredibly strong!"

"But why is it only the girl who has spirit rings? Why isn't that boy activating his martial spirit? Are they planning to take on seven opponents at once?"

Five spirit rings pulsed behind Ling Luochen, and a two-meter-long ice crystal staff had appeared in her right hand without her noticing.

In the blink of an eye, the five members of the Tianling team had crossed the center of the arena and were steadily closing in on the Shrek team.

Ling Luochen tapped the ground twice with his staff, without using any soul skills, but instantly created a snowstorm.

The seven members of the Tianling team felt a chill run through their bodies, the biting cold penetrating their skin and seeping into their flesh.

They were horrified to discover that they could not make their soul power flow, as if it were frozen.

Before they could react, all seven of them lost consciousness.

The icy mist rose in wisps, obscuring everyone's view, but the snowstorm came and went quickly.

When everything cleared up, all that could be seen was that the entire competition stage was covered with a thick layer of ice.

On the field, there were eight more ice sculptures, and the extra person was the referee who was responsible for rescue.

This seventh-ring Soul Saint was also not spared from the snowstorm.

This is the ultimate ice. Xian Lin'er once said that Ling Luochen and Huo Yuhao combined have the strength of a Soul Emperor.

That's not actually accurate.

With Huo Yuhao's enhancement, Ling Luochen's own strength is comparable to that of a Soul Emperor, but the power she can unleash is something even a Soul Saint would be wary of.

This is all because of the terrifyingly low temperature. Huo Yuhao is only a Great Soul Master, and his cultivation is not enough to create true ultimate ice, but Ling Luochen can.

Ice below -150 degrees Celsius is called the ultimate ice.

At this temperature, even a Title Douluo could only withstand it for minutes with the protection of their soul power alone.

For Soul Masters or even Soul Sect Masters, it only takes a few seconds to make them faint and die.

As a fire-attribute soul master, Ma Xiaotao was naturally suppressed by extreme ice, so her defeat was extremely quick.

But in reality, even if another Soul Emperor were to come, the time might not be extended by much. Under such low temperatures, the amount of soul power consumed every second is terrifying.

To break this deadlock, one must at least reach the level of a Soul Saint, relying on their Martial Soul True Body and various enhanced Soul Skills to quickly close the distance; this is the only way.

This Soul Saint referee clearly didn't realize this, and by the time he reacted and tried to resist, it was too late.

As expected of a Soul Saint, the referee quickly moved after Ling Luochen stopped outputting his soul power, large chunks of ice falling from his body and crashing to the ground.

"Referee, it's time to announce the result of the match."

The referee glanced at Ling Luochen in fear. The chill in his body had not completely dissipated, making him tremble as he spoke.

"Victory, the winning side, Shrek Academy."

When the referee's voice resounded throughout Star Luo Square through the amplified soul guide device, the Star Luo people in the stands fell silent for a moment, and then burst into amazing cheers.

"Shrek! Shrek!"

The shouts were so unified that even those standing on the competition platform could hear them clearly.

Was this battle exciting? Actually, no. There were no terrifying martial spirits or earth-shattering destructive power.

But it ignited the passion of all the viewers because it delivered enough visual shock and impact.

Although the scene wasn't grand, Ling Luochen's feat of taking on seven opponents single-handedly overshadowed that.

In the Hou Zhanqu area, the people from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy looked at Ling Luochen on the field with both solemnity and amazement in their eyes.

As the saying goes, laymen watch the show, while experts see the details. Ordinary people only know that Ling Luochen is powerful, but these high-level soul masters clearly know where Ling Luochen's power lies.

"Dream, can you freeze the entire competition stage?" Xiao Hongchen sat on the sofa and unconsciously sat up.

"Impossible. Freezing such a large area would be too taxing for a Soul King to handle, unless—"

Meng Hongchen paused, as if thinking, and a teammate beside her subconsciously asked, "Unless what?"

"Unless her martial soul is naturally inclined to manipulate ice elements, and the quality of her ice attribute is extremely high."

Meng Hongchen tapped her slender fingers rhythmically on the armrest, her tone certain.

Her martial soul is the Crimson Ice Toad. Although she is also an ice-attribute martial soul owner, she admits that she is inferior to Ling Luochen in this aspect.

(When I was watching Douluo Continent before, I always thought that Meng Hongchen's martial soul was the Crimson-Eyed Ice Toad.)

Because I remember very clearly, the dream of being possessed by a martial spirit was one of white hair and red eyes, which perfectly matched the vermilion eyes.

It wasn't until I wrote the book that I learned Meng's martial spirit was called Zhu Qingbingchan.

"Is it possible that this is an effect of her soul skill?"

Faced with Ma Rulong's question, Meng Hongchen pondered for a moment, and finally shook her head.

"It's hard to say, but if it is, it must be her ten-thousand-year soul skill."

"As expected of Shrek Academy, even a random person can give me such a big surprise. I really look forward to the day I face them."

The solemnity on Xiao Hongchen's face vanished, and a faint smile returned to the corners of her lips.

Is Ling Luochen a genius? Of course he is.

But he had met many geniuses, and they all called him a genius.

He laughs at the mortal world, yet he is the number one genius of the Sun and Moon Sect, and the greatest Soul Master of the future!

"Strange, is it just my imagination?"

Looking at the young man beside Ling Luochen, Meng Hongchen didn't know why, but when she looked at this young man, her martial soul trembled for a moment.

Is all of this related to him?

"Dream, what are you saying? Your voice is so soft."

"What I'm saying is none of your business. Go watch your game."

"The world is going to the dogs. Even a brother who cares about his sister gets scolded." Xiao Hongchen was speechless for a moment, and could only turn away sullenly, refocusing his attention on the competition field.

"Brother, why don't I see Yaoheng on the field?" Xu Jiawei asked casually, looking at Dai Hao, who stood tall and straight to the side.

In fact, he had already looked at Shrek Academy's list of participants and found that Dai Yueheng's name was not on it at all.

He wasn't just focused on Shrek Academy; he also watched the royal teams of the other three empires, and they were as powerful as ever.

Shrek Academy was the only one that sent three players of normal age to this competition, but their strength was not bad, with one Soul Emperor and two Soul Kings.

To be honest, Xu Jiawei was also baffled as to why Shrek Academy would make such an arrangement.

If you say they want to win, they only have three normal team members; if you say they don't want to win, all three of them are very strong.

Leaving aside the only Soul Emperor for now, the female Soul Master who just appeared on the field, although only at the Soul King level, is no weaker than a Soul Emperor.

He is also a Soul Master, and a Title Douluo at that; he has that much insight.

Therefore, he really couldn't understand why Shrek would send such a team that was neither strong nor weak.

"Your Majesty, I was unaware that it has been quite some time since I last met with Yueheng."

Dai Hao felt uneasy. Not long ago, Yue Heng was still participating in the mission to eliminate evil soul masters in the Mingdou Mountains. Why is he nowhere to be seen now?

Even if something happens, could it be more important than the competition?

Dai Hao had a bad feeling. Could it be that something happened to Yao Heng during that operation?

Hearing the deafening cheers from the stands, the group returned to the waiting area through the players' tunnel, awaiting the start of the next match.

"Senior Luo Chen is amazing!" As soon as she returned to the Hou Zhan District, Xiao Xiao came up to her, her emerald green eyes shining with admiration.

"Thank you." Ling Luochen nodded to Xiao Xiao in response.

"It was really cold just now. I gritted my teeth and endured it. If the next opponent is like this, Xiao Xiao, you should play."

Wang Dong rubbed her hands together. They had been off the stage for several minutes, but she still felt a strange stiffness in her body.

Even though Ling Luochen deliberately controlled the cold air to only cover the front, the low temperature it brought still made Wang Dong extremely uncomfortable.

Ma Xiaotao and Xixi, being highly skilled, barely felt anything. Beibei and He Caitou, both Soul Masters, could also barely tolerate the dissipating chill.

Only Wang Dong, with her Soul Venerable cultivation, was already struggling to cope with the dissipating cold energy.

"Okay, okay!" Xiao Xiao replied excitedly, her eyes immediately sparkling.

Just as Ning Tian was about to remind him, Huo Yuhao's hand was already on Wang Dong's head. "Stop sabotaging Xiao Xiao. Do you want her to be eliminated by her own people?"

"Xiao Xiao, Wang Dong is a Soul Master, and a power-attack type Soul Master at that. If even he can't withstand the low temperature, the problems will only be greater if we go up there."

.

Ning Tian patiently explained to Xiao Xiao, who looked puzzled, that she and Xiao Xiao had developed a good relationship after their previous training.

Of course, this was all done on her own initiative.

The reason she got along well with Xiao Xiao was partly due to Huo Yuhao, and partly due to herself.

If she wants to be with Huo Yuhao, she naturally wants to reduce her rivals as much as possible.

Xiao Xiao is different from Ling Luochen. Ling Luochen's values ​​and perceptions are already mature and fixed, making it almost impossible to change her mind.

But Xiao Xiao is different. She is still young, and according to her observation, Xiao Xiao has a simple personality and is a very innocent person.

Such a person will treat you well in return if you treat her well.

Ning Tian's first plan was to keep an eye on Xiao Xiao, ensuring that her feelings for Huo Yuhao developed into a pure friendship, thus preventing any potential future problems.

Her second plan was to have Xiao Xiao join the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. She had already inquired about it and found that Xiao Xiao's background was very ordinary; she was just from a small family with a Soul Saint.

Such families are the best candidates for the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School to recruit.

Furthermore, Xiao Xiao possesses twin martial souls, making her future achievements limitless.

With such a powerful backer, only slightly inferior to Huo Yuhao, practically handed to her, Ning Tian would be a complete waste if she couldn't handle it.

"What! Wang Dong, you've really gone too far!"

Xiao Xiao then realized what was happening and immediately glared angrily at Wang Dong.

"Oh dear, who told you to be so gullible? You fell for it with just a few words." Wang Dong said with a grin, which made Xiao Xiao even angrier.

"Alright, Xiao Xiao, I'll beat up Wang Dong for you later. Let's watch the game now."

Huo Yuhao patted the girl's head and comforted her with a smile, which immediately stopped Wang Dong's giggles.

Seeing Xiao Xiao's face turn slightly red and then quiet down, Wang Dong suddenly felt like he had shot himself in the foot.

It seems she helped Xiao Xiao out? Damn it!

Ning Tian glanced at Wang Dong with a deep look in his eyes, accurately catching the annoyance in the latter's eyes.

Seeing this, Ning Tian could only sigh helplessly. This guy was even more difficult to evaluate. She would rather have two more female opponents than face Wang Dong.

She definitely didn't want to experience competing with other boys for other boys.

Wang Dong watched helplessly as Xiao Xiao followed Huo Yuhao around, sitting close to him on the sofa.

Ling Luochen sat down in the empty seat on the other side of Huo Yuhao without any hesitation. Before Wang Dong could react, Huo Yuhao was already surrounded by people.

Wang Dong's smile successfully shifted to Xiao Xiao's face, who chattered excitedly with Huo Yuhao about the game on the field.

The first match of the tournament was against Shrek Academy, and the second match was naturally against Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, which had been in second place for many years.

Their opponents were also of average strength, a mix of Soul Masters and Soul Venerables, a team with no Soul Kings, no Soul Emperors, and no pressure.

"As expected of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, indiscriminate soul cannon bombardment, the simplest and most brutal battle."

He Caitou's eyes lit up as he looked at the powerful and varied soul-guided cannons. He wondered how long it would take Shrek Academy to catch up with the technology of these soul-guided devices.

"These technologies shouldn't be considered secrets. If you can get into the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, learning them should be quite easy."

Everyone looked at Xian Lin'er in astonishment. She saw their doubts and explained, "The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy has made several requests to Shrek Academy for exchange students."

Under the guise of "mutual exchange of teaching experience," it was actually us going to learn the technology of soul tools, while they came to learn the cultivation of martial souls.

The college has maintained a reserved stance on this matter and has not provided a clear answer.

Upon hearing this, Wang Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had been terrified just now, thinking he was about to hear something incredible.

"Dean, why didn't the academy agree?" Xiao Xiao asked curiously. Xian Lin'er thought for a moment and then answered, "Mainly because—"
