Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 394 A Net of Heaven and Earth

Is this really a powerful offensive Soul Emperor on par with me?

Yu Tianlong began to doubt his life; he was devastated by Wang Qiu'er.

As his thoughts raced, Yu Tianlong's inner pride was also ignited. He held his palms together in front of him, and a ball of jet-black lightning instantly appeared, his fifth spirit ring shining brightly.

In an instant, the lightning swirling around Yu Tianlong's body turned black, and the sharpness of the Golden Dragon Spear pierced into the black lightning ball in Yu Tianlong's palm and was instantly neutralized.

Wang Qiu'er pressed her advantage relentlessly, suddenly stepping forward and thrusting her dragon spear forward.

Yu Tianlong landed steadily, the lightning ball in his hand unchanged, and moved his body forward three feet, actually using the lightning balls in his palms to meet the tip of the Golden Dragon Spear head-on.

The moment the Golden Dragon Spear pierced the lightning ball, both Wang Qiu'er and Yu Tianlong emitted deep dragon roars. Yu Tianlong's entire body of blue-purple scales instantly opened, forcefully blocking the Golden Dragon Spear's penetration.

Listening to the dragon's roar on stage, Xiao Xiao complained, "Are these two fighting while carrying speakers? It's comparable to Sister Gu Yi's built-in background music."

Ye Guyi, standing next to her, rolled her eyes. Ever since Ji Lin made fun of her, all the other girls had picked up the habit.

On the stage, Wang Qiu'er was slightly taken aback when she saw Yu Tianlong block her spear. With her strength and the power of the Golden Dragon Spear, it was very rare for her to be blocked head-on. Back in Shrek Academy, few people dared to take a spear head-on. She didn't expect Yu Tianlong to be able to do it.

Wang Qiu'er said in a deep voice, "You're not bad!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she sensed something was wrong. Yu Tianlong's body suddenly turned pitch black, even his scales became as black as ink. Terrifying black lightning instantly surged outwards, and the lightning ball in his hand seemed to have become a solid entity, unable to budge even when Wang Qiu'er thrust forward with all her might.

Wang Qiu'er was surprised, but little did she know that Yu Tianlong was even more shocked. In his opinion, Wang Qiu'er's Golden Dragon Spear must be made of metal, and metal conducts electricity. The soul skill he was using at this moment had already raised the lightning to the limit he could currently achieve.

The intensity of the lightning he had condensed now exceeded that of an ordinary Soul Saint-level expert, yet it still couldn't spread even a fraction of its power along the Golden Dragon Spear towards Wang Qiu'er. This proved that the Golden Dragon Spear in Wang Qiu'er's hand was non-conductive.

Yu Tianlong's whole body trembled violently, and he roared to the sky. His fifth soul ring, which had opened up, transformed into a halo that continued to expand outward, eventually enveloping Wang Qiu'er's body as well.

Immediately afterwards, the black lightning ball in his hand, along with the black electric light spreading out from his body, exploded.

Thunder Hell, the fifth soul skill of the Jade Heaven Dragon Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul.

The lightning ball he initially used to attack Wang Qiu'er was actually a simplified version of Thunder Hell, designed to reduce soul power consumption by accumulating power. In terms of power, it was naturally far inferior to the real Thunder Hell.

A terrifying burst of lightning erupted instantly, and Wang Qiu'er felt a severe numbness throughout her body. The terrifying explosive power of the lightning was all-pervasive, and even she felt pain.

However, Wang Qiu'er has amazing combat talent, and the stronger her opponent is, the higher her fighting spirit becomes. The stronger Yu Tianlong is, the happier she is.

Her sixth spirit ring shone brightly, and streams of dragon-shaped energy swirled around her, forcefully repelling the incoming lightning.

Wang Qiu'er's sixth soul skill, Golden Dragon Body, has the effect of doubling her defense and attack power for a short period of time, repelling elemental attacks, being immune to control, and being able to manipulate the dragon-shaped airflow attached to the body to attack.

She retracted the golden dragon spear in her hand and slammed it into the ground in front of her. The dragon-shaped aura emanating from Wang Qiu'er spread outward from her body.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The terrifying explosive force rapidly expanded outwards and erupted, canceling out the thunderous hell, and the dragon-shaped airflow even showed signs of reversing.

No retreat, no compromise, only a frenzied attack—this is the true essence of Wang Qiu'er's fighting spirit.

Just as Yu Tianlong felt a surge of joy at seeing his opponent trapped by Thunder Hell, he was immediately stunned by Wang Qiu'er's powerful Golden Dragon Body.

With the amplification of the Golden Dragon Overlord Body, Wang Qiu'er's power surged once again. The terrifying power expanded outward with the golden dragon's unique golden might, causing Yu Tianlong's own Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul to tremble once more.

Wang Qiu'er's golden dragon eyes fixed on the scene, and her right hand suddenly gripped the Golden Dragon Spear tightly.

Wang Qiu'er's fifth spirit ring also lit up.

"Roar—" A resounding dragon roar echoed throughout the entire arena, and a huge golden dragon instantly appeared from her body. Wang Qiu'er touched the ground with her toes and rushed forward. The golden dragon circled her delicate body, carrying an indomitable momentum, and pounced straight at Yu Tianlong.

Wang Qiu'er's fifth soul skill, Golden Dragon Roar, is her true strongest attack soul skill.

A look of horror flashed in Yu Tianlong's eyes, but his sixth soul ring lit up as well. He circled his hands, and the scales all over his body turned black again. He tilted his upper body downward and his back arched. In an instant, the thick scales flipped up, and Yu Tianlong transformed from his shoulders to his head into a giant dragon head.

The dragon head opened its mouth, and a ball of clear light, like blue crystal, shot out, flying towards Wang Qiu'er who was rushing towards it.

Jade Dragon's sixth soul skill, Blue Lightning Dragon Breath.

"boom--"

The strongest against the strongest, the blue lightning dragon's breath against the golden dragon's roar.

The moment the two collided, a magnificent scene unfolded on the entire arena. Starting from the point of impact, large swaths of blue and gold light scattered in all directions, including lightning, arc-shaped halos, and powerful shockwaves. The soul-guiding shield around the arena was so intense that it created rings of light, obscuring the view of the arena from the audience.

Who wins and who loses?

The audience was in a state of extreme tension. The intense and exciting battle between the two had them on the edge of their seats, and they wanted to know who would win.

The halo lasted for a full seven or eight seconds before slowly dissipating.

Wang Qiu'er was slightly out of breath, and the golden light on her body had noticeably weakened by two points, but she was completely unharmed.

On the other hand, Yu Tianlong's right shoulder and chest were covered in rolled-up scales and blood, as if he had been bitten by a golden dragon, and his face was deathly pale.

The outcome was obvious: Wang Qiu'er had the upper hand.

Both sides still had fighting spirit in their eyes. Perhaps because of the stimulation of his injuries, Yu Tianlong's eyes were filled with madness. He suddenly roared, "I haven't lost yet!"

A burst of intense lightning appeared again, but it was no longer a deep black; it had turned back into a bluish-purple. He smeared his left hand across his chest and right shoulder, and a stream of bluish-purple lightning flowed through them. Amidst the smell of burning, he forcefully sealed the wounds with lightning.

The audience outside the arena was stunned. He was a tough guy and a real man. Some young girls looked at Yu Tianlong with admiration. Although Yu Tianlong was at a disadvantage, they liked this kind of tough guy and cheered for him wildly.

Yu Tianlong may lose this battle, but he has gained a group of female fans.

The intense pain contorted his face, but he gritted his teeth and endured it. He took a sudden step forward with his left foot, leaped into the air, and his arms suddenly grew larger, carrying powerful thunderous dragon claws as he pounced towards Wang Qiu'er.

Wang Qiu'er's expression was cold and unwavering, her fighting spirit unshaken by her opponent's frenzy. She stepped forward with her left foot, her delicate body soaring into the air, and her fourth spirit ring lit up.

Fourth Soul Skill: Golden Dragon Claw.

Thunder Dragon Claw versus Golden Dragon Claw.

"Boom! Boom!"

Two booming sounds rang out simultaneously. The Golden Dragon had once again gained the upper hand over the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus. Although Yu Tianlong had used all his strength in this attack, when his two huge dragon claws collided with Wang Qiu'er's golden dragon claws, he could no longer advance an inch.

Wang Qiu'er suddenly raised her right leg and chopped down from above, striking Yu Tianlong squarely in the chest.

Yu Tianlong screamed as he was smashed to the ground, his entire body sinking into the earth.

At this point in the game, the outcome is already decided.

Jade Dragon, embedded in the ground, coughed up blood. Looking at the gloomy sky, his eyes were filled with resentment, but he had lost this battle after all.

Whether it was strength, martial spirit, combat talent, or fighting spirit, he was suppressed by Wang Qiu'er. This was the first time in his life that he had lost so miserably and felt so powerless.

Yu Tianlong closed his eyes unwillingly, blood flowing from his mouth and nose.

Referee Zheng Zhan, the Unbreakable Douluo, quickly stepped forward, checked Yu Tianlong's condition, and then waved his hand forcefully.

"Wang Qiu'er of the Zizai Gate wins."

As soon as Zheng Zhan announced it, the area below the stage turned into a sea of ​​joy, with countless shouts erupting as the audience's emotions reached their peak.

This battle was truly spectacular, a clash of titans, with the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex facing off against the Golden Dragon, and ultimately the Golden Dragon emerged victorious.

At this moment, in the rest area, Nan Qiuqiu also cheered. However, while cheering, she also breathed a sigh of relief. She hoped that Wang Qiu'er would beat Yu Tianlong up, but she didn't want Yu Tianlong to be killed by Wang Qiu'er. She had just seen the two fighting fiercely and dangerously, and her heart was in her throat. She was afraid that Wang Qiu'er might accidentally kill or maim Yu Tianlong. If that happened, she would have no face to see Grandpa Tianlong.

Once the match ended, the outcome was basically decided. Yu Tianlong and Xingyan were the only two Soul Emperor level experts in the Tianlong Sect. Both of them lost to Wang Qiu'er one after the other. Afterwards, Wang Qiu'er defeated both of them in a strong manner. Only after exhausting most of her soul power did Ye Guyi take the stage.

At this point in the match, the outcome was no longer in doubt. Ye Guyi easily defeated the last three members of Tianlongmen. In the individual elimination round, Zizaimen defeated Tianlongmen with a score of 7 to 1, and there was no need to play the team match anymore.

Ultimately, Zizaimen advanced to the semi-finals with a score of twelve to one.

Congratulations!

With a pale face, Yu Tianlong led the Tianlong Sect disciples to the Zizai Sect. He glanced at Nan Qiuqiu, who was acting like a bully, but ignored her gloating expression.

Ji Lin chuckled and said, "You guys are strong too, but unfortunately you had bad luck."

Yu Tianlong's lips twitched, feeling like he'd been tricked. He looked at Wang Qiu'er and said in a deep voice, "We'll spar again when we have the chance."

Wang Qiu'er nodded indifferently.

Yu Tianlong is indeed a very strong opponent. He was able to withstand her head-on for so long, which is stronger than most of the inner disciples of Shrek Academy.

The second match in the lower bracket is between the Holy Spirit Sect and the Mingdu Soul Master Academy. The Mingdu Soul Master Academy is originally a native academy of the Sun Moon Empire. The captain of the Mingdu Soul Master Academy is Xu Tianzhen, the sister of Regent Xu Tianran and a princess of the Sun Moon Empire. No matter how rampant the evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Sect are, they dare not harm Xu Tianzhen in front of Xu Tianran.

Therefore, the Holy Spirit Sect fought with limited freedom in this battle, but ultimately still managed to defeat the Mingdu Soul Master Academy with their formidable strength and advance to the semi-finals.

At this point, the four teams that will advance to the finals have been determined: Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and Snow Demon Sect in the upper bracket, and Free Gate and Holy Spirit Sect in the lower bracket.

Upon returning to the hotel, the members of Zizaimen immediately went to their rooms to rest.

Their next opponent is the Holy Spirit Sect. Facing an evil spirit master, they can't be too careful.

early morning.

The weather in Mingdu finally improved, and the bright sunshine made this largest city on the continent, with a metal-covered area far exceeding that of other cities, shine brightly.

Early in the morning, Xu Jiujiu, Vina, Muxue, Zhang Lexuan, and Beibei arrived at the villa in Zizaimen.

Everyone sat on the sofa, and Ji Lin spoke first: "Sister Jiu Jiu, how is the situation?"

Xu Jiujiu frowned and said, "I sent three groups of spies back to the Empire to deliver messages, but these three groups disappeared without a trace, as if they had vanished into thin air. It is obvious that the Sun Moon Empire has laid a net that can only be entered but not exited."

Hearing this, Vina calmly replied, "The situation is the same on our side; none of the spies we sent out have returned."

Beibei and the others were somewhat surprised. Mingdu was the number one city on the continent, the largest city. How easy was it to completely seal off the area surrounding such a city?

Zhang Lexuan frowned and said, "The Sun Moon Empire's move is so large that it can't be aimed at just one or two sects. It's very likely that their target is all the non-Sun Moon Empire teams participating in this competition?"

The two clever princesses had already thought of this and nodded in unison.

Xu Jiujiu continued, "It's not just about dealing with us participating teams, but also with the forces that have come with us and are hiding in the shadows, such as the three Title Douluos I brought, the Body Sect behind Vina's Heavenly Soul Empire, the elders of the Sea God Pavilion of Shrek Academy, and the forces behind other sects. If they wipe us out in one fell swoop, it will be a significant blow to all countries. Moreover, the fact that they dare to do this means something else."

Vina sighed, "War is coming!"

She wasn't surprised that Xu Jiujiu pointed out that their Heavenly Soul Empire was backed by the Body Sect, since the relationship between the two sides had already been made public during the Shrek City incident.

Anyone with a brain knows what it means that the closer relationship between the Body Sect, located within the Heavenly Soul Empire, and the Heavenly Soul Empire signifies.
