Douluo Continent: Little Huo Niang Taken Away by Di Tian

"Please bring both players to the stage!" the referee announced in a loud voice.

"Spirit Pagoda, Tang Sect, Bei Bei!"

"The Royal Academy of Sun and Moon, so fashionable!"

"start!"

Before he could finish speaking, a flash of blue light appeared in Beibei's eyes, and a deafening dragon roar erupted. The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul instantly possessed him, and the power of lightning swirled in his right arm, seemingly about to burst out of his body at any moment.

However, Shi Xing on the other side was prepared. A pair of steel-forged mechanical wings suddenly unfolded behind him, his soul power surged, and he soared into the sky like an arrow—it was a rare flying martial soul!

In the blink of an eye, Shi Xing had risen to a height of 100 meters, looking down with a cold smile on his lips.

He spread his arms, and a crimson heavy soul-guided cannon appeared out of thin air, with faint heat waves distorting the air from its muzzle.

"Beibei, come up here!" Shixing teased.

Beibei's heart sank: the rules didn't limit the height, this advantage of being high up was too deadly.

He lightly touched the ground with his toes, his body moving like lightning, attempting to leap up and attack, but he always missed by a hair's breadth.

Left with no other choice, he flashed around, unleashing the Ghostly Shadow Step, his footwork as elusive as a ghost, leaving behind afterimages on the arena.

Crimson shells rained down one after another, blasting the ground into flying debris and billowing smoke.

Beibei would either block with her arms or deflect with lightning, while constantly moving around to deplete the opponent's soul power.

About a minute later, the artillery fire from high above noticeably thinned out.

Beibei seized the opportunity to look up, only to see Shixing adjusting the cannon with a cold smile.

Knowing that further delay would be disadvantageous, Beibei immediately declared loudly, "I surrender!"

"Shixing wins! Sun Moon Royal Academy scores one point!" The referee waved his hand, signaling, "One-minute break, next round, Spirit Pagoda players will take the stage!"

As the aircraft slowly descended, it wanted to press its advantage, but was constrained by the rules—it had to land and wait for the referee to announce the start again before it could take off again.

He snorted coldly, folded his wings, but kept his gaze fixed on the entrance to the arena.

"Spirit Pagoda, Jiang Nannan!"

"The Sun and Moon Royal Academy, how fashionable!"

"start!"

This time, Jiang Nannan gave her opponent no chance at all!

As soon as the referee finished speaking, her figure suddenly became ethereal, and her spirit rings shone brightly—instant teleportation!

In the next instant, she appeared behind Shi Xing, twisted her waist, and a burst of golden light surged, like a thick golden python instantly coiling around him!

"What?!" Shi Xing felt a tightness on his back, and before he could spread his wings, he was tightly strangled by the giant python.

He struggled desperately, his soul power surging wildly, but he couldn't break free.

Jiang Nannan's eyes flashed, and she tightened her grip again—with a few muffled "crack" sounds, Shi Xing's eyes rolled back, he foamed at the mouth, and collapsed straight onto the stage.

"Jiang Nannan wins! The Spirit Pagoda scores one point!" The referee quickly stepped forward to check, and after confirming that Shi Xing was unconscious, announced loudly, "One-minute break, next round—"

"Spirit Pagoda, Jiang Nannan".

"Sun and Moon Royal Academy, Zhou Xinghao."

"start!"

Zhou Xinghao had clearly learned his lesson, activating his protective soul tool as soon as he stepped onto the stage.

A pale blue light curtain instantly opened up, enveloping him within it.

Jiang Nannan launched several attacks, but the attacks hit the light screen as if they had vanished into thin air, only creating ripples.

She frowned slightly and quickly distanced herself.

Inside the light screen, Zhou Xinghao sneered repeatedly, his hands flying as the soul guide components were assembled like flowing water—a shoulder-mounted twin-barreled soul guide cannon, a wrist-mounted rapid-fire machine gun, a back-mounted hovering tracking missile… In less than ten seconds, a fully armed soul guide turret had taken shape!

The moment the protective shield was removed, Jiang Nannan teleported and launched another surprise attack, but Zhou Xinghao was prepared. His soul-guided armor was incredibly hard, rendering ordinary attacks completely ineffective.

Instead, he pulled the trigger, and soul-guided cannonballs rained down like a storm!

Jiang Nannan's figure flickered, weaving through the barrage of bullets, her invincible golden body protecting her, barely managing to withstand the attacks.

Knowing that a prolonged battle would be disadvantageous, she quickly retreated to the referee's side and loudly declared, "I concede."

however--

"BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!"

Zhou Xinghao's final barrage of shells has been launched and is hurtling toward the referee!

The referee was caught off guard and only had time to set up a soul power shield before being blown away, rolling three zhang away covered in dust.

"Cough...cough cough!" The referee scrambled to his feet from the smoke and dust, his robes blackened and his face streaked with soot. He roared furiously, "Zhou Xinghao wins! Sun Moon Royal Academy gets one point! I demand the medical team conduct an immediate examination! I also need to request a substitution from the chief referee! This year's contestants are too barbaric! The match is postponed!"

The room fell silent for a moment, then erupted in uproarious laughter.

"I am Zheng Zhan, the Unbreakable Douluo and the chief referee of this competition! I will officiate the following matches. Please have both contestants enter the arena!" Zheng Zhan's voice boomed like a bell, and his powerful soul force instantly suppressed the noise of the entire arena.

"The Spirit Pagoda, and He Caitou!"

"Sun Moon Royal Academy, Zhou Xinghao!"

"start!"

The moment the referee finished speaking, the arena transformed into a battlefield filled with the sounds of gunfire.

He Caitou and Zhou Xinghao activated their weapons almost simultaneously, their soul-guided cannons glowing brightly red, and dense soul-guided rays sprayed out like a rain curtain.

The fixed-position soul-guided cannonballs drew a dazzling yet deadly trajectory in the air, with continuous explosions and shockwaves that ripped layers of rock from the arena floor.

In just thirty seconds, Zhou Xinghao's soul power fluctuations rapidly declined. He gritted his teeth and forced out one last shell, but seeing that He Caitou's firepower remained relentless, he had no choice but to shout, "I surrender!"

"He Caitou wins! The Spirit Pagoda gets one point, making the total score three!" Zheng Zhan waved his hand, his soul power sweeping away the mess on the ground. "One minute break, next match, Sun Moon Royal Academy players enter!"

"The Spirit Pagoda, and Cai Tou."

"Sun and Moon Royal Academy, Xiao Ping."

"start!"

In this round, He Caitou used the same tactic again, firing both of his Soul Cannons simultaneously in an attempt to suppress his opponent with a barrage of firepower.

However, Xiao Ping was completely different—he wore a silver-gray streamlined soul-guided armor, and the thrusters on his back and limbs simultaneously emitted azure tail flames, his whole body turning into a strange arc, changing direction multiple times in mid-air!

It turns out that he had concealed a small soul tool in the armor's interlayer, which, combined with the thrusters, enabled him to maneuver at all angles, as nimbly as a swimming fish.

"Interesting." He Caitou narrowed his eyes, suddenly switched weapons, and his shoulder-mounted soul-guided cannon transformed, with a dark blue tracking ray following Xiao Ping like a shadow.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Ping used exquisite control to stack three layers of composite shield at the critical moment. Driven by the Soul Guidance Iso-Resonance Technology, the shield shone with light and briefly burst out with a terrifying defensive power comparable to a Soul Saint, managing to withstand the tracking ray!

He Caitou felt a chill: Xiao Ping's defense was far beyond his expectations, and his "Soul Guiding Piercing Cannon," which was powerful enough to penetrate the defense, still needed three seconds to charge up—three seconds was a life-or-death time limit in a high-speed duel!
