Douluo Continent: Little Huo Niang Taken Away by Di Tian

Worse still, Xiao Ping clearly sensed the danger and, with his thrusters at full throttle, approached like a meteor!

"I'll take the gamble!" He Caitou suddenly threw out a series of chain-triggered soul-guided bombs, and the resulting energy turbulence temporarily slowed Xiao Ping's sprint.

At the same time, he lifted the heavy soul-guided piercing cannon with one hand and poured his soul power into it without reservation. A dazzling white light condensed at the muzzle, and the energy accumulation speed was nearly twice as fast as usual!

Xiao Ping roared and charged out through the aftershocks of the explosion, about to engage in close combat—just as the two were less than five meters apart, the piercing cannon finally finished charging!

A burst of white light erupted from the cannon muzzle, and the aura of death locked Xiao Ping in place.

However, at that moment, a towering figure suddenly intervened!

"Buzz—" Zheng Zhan raised his hand and pressed down in mid-air. The piercing beam that was powerful enough to penetrate the defense of a Soul Saint disintegrated inch by inch in his palm and vanished into nothingness.

"He Caitou wins! The Spirit Pagoda gets one point, bringing the total to four!" Zheng Zhan withdrew his hand, his expression calm. "Next match in one minute—"

"Chief Referee," He Caitou said, his face pale and his soul power nearly exhausted. He waved his hand with a bitter smile, "I concede the next round."

Zheng Zhan nodded in understanding: "Approved. Because He Caitou forfeited, Sun Moon Royal Academy gains one point, bringing the total score to three. The next player from each side will enter the arena immediately!"

"Spirit Pagoda, Tang Ya!"

"Sun Moon Royal Academy, Qiu Yi!"

"start!"

Qiu Yi is a five-ring defensive Soul King, and with a level six Soul Guidance Heavy Shield in his hand, his defense is virtually impenetrable.

As soon as he arrived, he hid behind the heavy shield, his soul power surging like a tide. No matter how Tang Ya, a sixth-ring Soul Emperor, whipped and entangled the shield with her Blue Silver Grass, only ripples appeared on the surface.

Tang Ya frowned slightly. As a control-type Soul Master, her single-target burst damage was ultimately insufficient.

She flicked her fingers repeatedly, and the blue silver grass transformed into countless vine shadows, trying to find an opening, but they were all neutralized by the heavy shield.

She simply stopped attacking and withdrew the Blue Silver Grass, switching to all-around restraint and oppression to greatly deplete Qiu Yi's soul power.

This battle of attrition lasted for nearly ten minutes. In the end, Qiu Yi, pale-faced and with his soul power depleted, said with a bitter smile, "I concede defeat."

"Tang Yasheng! The Spirit Pagoda scores one point, bringing the total to four! One minute break!" Zheng Zhan's voice was still loud and clear.

"Spirit Pagoda, Tang Ya."

"Ding Xiaobu, Sun Moon Royal Academy."

Ding Xiaobu is a five-ring agility-type Soul King. As soon as the match started, the soul-guided thrusters on his legs spewed out a ghostly blue flame. His figure flickered like a ghost, and he held two close-combat soul-guided short blades that gleamed with cold light as he rushed straight at Tang Ya.

Tang Ya's eyes flashed with purple light as she activated her Purple Demon Eyes at full power, clearly capturing Ding Xiaobu's trajectory.

She gave a soft shout, and the blue silver grass grew wildly, layer upon layer, wrapping around her.

However, Ding Xiaobu was extremely fast, and with his soul power infused into his short blade, he easily severed the Blue Silver Grass.

"No..." Tang Ya sighed inwardly. She had exhausted too much energy in the last battle, and her soul power was now less than 30%. Otherwise, she would have suppressed it with her cultivation level and killed it long ago.

She managed to hold out for a few moves, but seeing her weaknesses becoming increasingly apparent, she decisively declared, "I surrender!"

"Ding Xiaobu wins! Sun Moon Royal Academy scores one point, bringing the total to four! After a one-minute break, the next contestant from the Spirit Pagoda will take the stage!"

"Spirit Pagoda, Xiao Xiao!"

"Sun and Moon Royal Academy, Ding Xiaobu!"

"start!"

Ding Xiaobu resorted to his old trick, activating the thrusters at full throttle, attempting to once again utilize his speed advantage.

However, Xiao Xiao immediately unleashed her trump card – the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron!

"Fourth Soul Skill - Cauldron Tremor!"

The enormous black cauldron crashed down, and a strange shockwave instantly spread outwards.

Ding Xiaobu was sprinting at high speed when he suddenly felt his soul power disappear into the sea like a mud ox sinking into the ocean, completely sealed away!

The soul-guided thrusters on his legs shut down instantly due to the loss of soul power supply, and he staggered to the ground, his face changing drastically.

"Now!" Xiao Xiao waved her hands repeatedly. The Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron shone brightly, unleashing the "Calligraphy of Tremor," "Calligraphy of Sway," and "Calligraphy of Might" in succession!

The heavy cauldron, with its immense force, smashes, sweeps, and crashes!

With his soul power sealed, Ding Xiaobu lost all his speed advantage. How could he possibly withstand the attack? He was blasted out of the arena after just a few exchanges.

"Xiao Xiao wins! The Spirit Pagoda scores one point, bringing the total to five! One minute break!"

"Spirit Pagoda, Xiao Xiao!"

"Ye Nongfeng, Royal Academy of Sun and Moon!"

"start!"

Ye Nongfeng had clearly done his homework. At the start of the match, he didn't rush to attack, but instead immediately activated his defensive soul tool, a layer of pale golden energy shield protecting him firmly.

Protected by the shield, he calmly set up several soul-guided cannons. What was even more troublesome was that he held a level-four soul-guided healing bottle in his other hand, from which he was continuously drawing soul power to replenish his own consumption.

The moment the defensive shield disappeared, the clash between the cannon fire and the giant cauldron officially began!

Ye Nongfeng's artillery fire was dense and precise, attempting to suppress Xiao Xiao.

However, Xiao Xiao's Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron had astonishing defensive power. She manipulated the giant cauldron to fly up and down, like an insurmountable mountain, blocking cannonballs one after another.

The collision between the cauldron and the cannonball produced a deafening roar, and energy ripples spread outwards.

Ye Nongfeng originally intended to wait for Xiao Xiao's soul power to be exhausted, but unexpectedly, Xiao Xiao was experienced in combat. She did not simply block the giant cauldron, but instead used the vibration of the cauldron to interfere with the efficiency of her milk bottle absorption, and sometimes used feint attacks to force her to adjust the angle of the cannon muzzle.

After a brief stalemate, Xiao Xiao seized the tiny opening when Ye Nongfeng was reloading, unleashing the full power of the cauldron. The giant cauldron, carrying unparalleled force, smashed through Ye Nongfeng's last line of defense, blasting him and the cannon out of the arena!

"Xiao Xiao wins! The Spirit Pagoda scores one point! The total score is now six points! Next contestant from the Sun Moon Royal Academy, please prepare for the next match!"

"Spirit Pagoda, Xiao Xiao!"

"Sun Moon Royal Academy, Lan Xiu!"

Lan Xiu slowly stepped onto the stage. As a five-ring spirit system soul master, his martial soul was not conspicuous. However, when he raised his right hand, nine dazzling silver orbs—"Nine Luminaries"—soundlessly appeared, surrounding him and emitting a heart-palpitating spiritual fluctuation.

"start!"

As soon as the referee finished speaking, a glint flashed in Lan Xiu's eyes, and a thought stirred within him.

Six of the nine luminous spheres shot out instantly, not in a straight line, but in an unpredictable arc, sometimes colliding with each other and changing their trajectory, sometimes scattering into a fan shape to block space.

They seemed to have some kind of spiritual connection with each other, and their attack angles were extremely tricky. They not only targeted Xiao Xiao, but also predicted the interception path of her controlling the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron.

Xiao Xiao focused her attention on the situation, and the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron spun rapidly, forming an impenetrable defensive line that blocked the incoming small balls time and time again.

The crisp "clanging" sounds were incessant, and each impact contained a peculiar mental shock, causing Xiao Xiao's mind to tingle slightly.

This Nine Luminaries Soul Guidance Device is both offensive and defensive; the small ball can even form a miniature shield when defending, making it extremely difficult to deal with.
