Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 59 A Net of Heaven and Earth

Just then, a large, pitch-black cauldron silently appeared above Huang Chutian's head.

Xiao Xiao, standing behind Ji Lin, smiled mischievously and said, "First Soul Skill, Cauldron Tremor."

With a wave of her hand, she sent the cauldron crashing down on Huang Chutian. Huang Chutian was slightly taken aback, but quickly slammed his fists into the dark cauldron.

Just as he slammed his fists into the cauldron, it suddenly recoiled thirty centimeters, dodging his punches, before lunging forward again. It struck Huang Chutian on the forehead, who had no time to react. "Bang—" Huang Chutian was sent flying backward by the impact, while the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron descended from the sky, landing in front of Xiao Xiao. Thus, Xiao Xiao finally used her soul skill for the first time during the freshman assessment.

Wang Yan, who was in charge of supervising the competition, had a bright look in his eyes. He could see that Xiao Xiao's martial spirit was extraordinary, but what he valued even more was Xiao Xiao's control of timing.

Ji Lin looked at Huang Chutian, who was dizzy from being hit by Xiao Xiao, and laughed, "He's quite strong. His martial soul must be the Hercules Ape, which is known for its strength."

He didn't go all out, after all, he wanted Xiaoxiao and Huo Yuhao to perform well for the teacher.

With his current strength, he could knock Huang Chutian unconscious with a single punch.

Xiao Xiao smiled slightly, then, as if to kick a man when he's down, she activated the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron once more. The black cauldron split into three and smashed towards Huang Chutian again.

On the other side, Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo also withdrew their gazes from Ji Lin. If they didn't act soon, their leader would be blown to bits. The twin girls faced each other, their four hands clasped together. From their bodies, an even more intense surge of soul power erupted. Their previously ten-meter-long blue hair instantly flew up, forming a large net in the air, heading straight for the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron.

These are the two sisters' identical first soul skill, Net Release. The large blue net covered the Three Lives Soul Suppressing Cauldron, and Xiao Xiao's Three Lives Soul Suppressing Cauldron was unable to break free for a time.

Huang Chutian quickly retreated into the hair net, but the blue hair seemed to have eyes and all moved aside, not touching his body.

Clearly, these twin sisters are control-type Soul Masters.

Ji Lin frowned. This was clearly not something Xiao Xiao and Huo Yuhao could handle. He took a step back, came to the side of the Heavenly Fire Judgment, reached out and drew the crimson greatsword. He raised the greatsword with his right hand and swung it down, unleashing a fiery sword aura that rushed straight towards the other side.

This is not his third soul skill; it's just a simple technique for projecting soul power.

While it may not be as powerful as the third soul skill, it is still something that Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo could not withstand.

The blue hairnet was reduced to ashes the instant it was touched by the sword energy, which then broke through the hairnet and rushed straight towards Huang Chutian.

Huang Chutian roared, and his first soul ring instantly shone brightly. His two fists suddenly grew to twice their size, shining with a strong metallic luster, as he met the crimson sword energy head-on.

"Clang—" The sword energy struck the pair of iron fists, producing a loud, metallic explosion. Huang Chutian was knocked back again, staggering and falling back more than ten steps before stopping. His fists were covered in blood, each with a cut and burn marks.

Huang Chutian was shocked. His Mighty Ape was a formidable martial spirit, renowned for its copper skin, iron bones, and immense strength. Yet, it couldn't withstand a casual sword strike from Ji Lin. He had just witnessed Ji Lin not even activating its spirit rings, clearly indicating that it hadn't used any spirit skills.

Wang Yan, who was watching from the sidelines, also had his eyes light up. He had been paying attention to Huo Yuhao, but he didn't expect Ji Lin, who hadn't made much of a move, to be so powerful. With a casual sword strike, he broke through the opening net and was able to repel Huang Chutian.

Huo Yuhao also made his move at this moment. He activated the Purple Demon Eye and attacked Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo simultaneously with his first soul skill. The two sisters felt a dizziness before their eyes, and their first soul skill, the net, paused for a moment and stopped moving.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xiao Xiao once again used the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron to smash towards Huang Chutian. The second yellow soul ring swirling around her body lit up, "Second Soul Skill, Cauldron Sweep."

"Roar—" Huang Chutian roared again, his hands clasped together and raised high above his head. The second soul ring that hovered around his body finally lit up, and a thick yellow light emanated from his entire body. This time, both arms swelled up, and the thick muscles contained terrifying explosive power. The yellow light continued to flow until it stopped at his fists. "Power Hammer".

Huang Chutian roared and slammed his fists into the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron. A solid yellow ball of light instantly shot out from his fists and headed straight for the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron.

"Boom—." The Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron and the Power Cannon Hammer collided fiercely. In the instant before the two collided, a layer of black light spread out from the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron and made a deafening boom in mid-air.

After the cannon hammer collided with the black halo, it was immediately weakened by more than half before it struck the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, ultimately blasting it away with its powerful explosive force.

At this moment, Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo also recovered. The two sisters looked at each other, their eyes revealing determination. The soul rings on the two women disappeared at the same time, and their clasped hands released each other at the same time. They actually opened their arms and embraced each other in the middle of the battle.

Xiao Xiao and Huo Yuhao were also stunned for a moment. What were they going to do? The next moment, the Lan sisters gave them the answer. A surge of soul power far exceeding the previous one instantly erupted. The instant Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo embraced, a deep blue halo emanated from them simultaneously, obscuring their bodies and making them impossible to see clearly. At the same time, their long hair at the back of their heads rose up, turning into a crystal-clear blue. The strands of hair remained as fine as ever, radiating a massive surge of soul power that once again enveloped the three of them.

Huo Yuhao's mental interference was no longer able to get close to the two sisters. The soul power fluctuations emanating from their bodies were too great for Huo Yuhao, a one-ring soul master, to break through.

"A Martial Soul Fusion Technique?" Xiao Xiao exclaimed in surprise. The Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron quickly unleashed its full power, splitting into three parts in mid-air and simultaneously crashing towards the large net.

In Huang Chutian's team, although he is the captain and has the strongest individual strength, his real trump card is the fusion skill of the two sisters' martial souls, Heavenly Net.

In the previous assessments, they had held back, not even using their Martial Soul Fusion Technique after losing a match. However, today is the first match of the last five rounds, and they dare not lose again.

Their team was the seeded team of Class 7, and they were tasked with making it into the top three.

Therefore, after a brief moment of thought, Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo embraced each other and activated the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Heavenly Net.

Let alone a two-ring Soul Master, even a three-ring Soul Venerable cannot break through the Heavenly Net's blockade.

Unfortunately, they were facing Ji Lin.

The three large black cauldrons were instantly swallowed up by the net. Xiao Xiao shouted, and three booming sounds rang out simultaneously from within the net.

Instantly, the Heavenly Net was shaken and slightly scattered, which was Xiao Xiao's first soul skill: Ding Zhi Zhen.
