Douluo Continent: Ink Bamboo as a Cauldron to Break Through Ten Thousand Heavens

"The match begins!"

At the command, the offensive-type Soul Masters on both sides moved simultaneously. Wang Dong and Wu Feng exchanged a glance and charged at each other at the same time.

Wang Dong's back unfurled a pair of dazzling, colorful wings, attracting the attention of both the spectators and the three people on the field.

Not to be outdone, Wu Feng let out a delicate shout, stomped her right foot on the ground, and bursts of heat accompanied by a faint dragon's roar erupted. Her figure appeared even more slender, and her previously form-fitting school uniform ripped open, revealing a leather jacket that had been prepared beforehand. The one-piece black jacket cinched upwards, enveloping her remarkably supple body. Tiny red dragon scales spread down her left cheek, instantly covering her left shoulder and left arm, finally enveloping her left hand to form a dragon claw. The aura of flames permeated the surroundings, giving her a look that was both feminine and exuded a unique heroic spirit.

"I remember Wu Feng was Ning Tian's personal bodyguard, right? That's why her talent seems pretty good. However, compared to Bei Bei's Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex with its evolutionary abilities, she's still quite a bit weak. Besides, I always feel like Wu Feng has some personality flaws. What kind of mentality do the elders at the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School have to let a pervert who's always been after their daughter be their bodyguard? Aren't they afraid that if they get together, their family line will end? I remember in the first book, Ning Tian was extremely concerned about his daughter's marriage, but in the second book, Ning Tian and Wu Feng went to Qiankun Asking Love Valley and came out as husband and wife. Qiankun Asking Love Valley is also a perverted place. Maybe after all these years of getting to know each other, they've already become lesbians, and they're still trying to change their personalities and straighten them out. Although I think there's nothing wrong with straightening them out, at least it's easier to explain back to the sect... The reason she's not getting married is because she's fallen in love with her lifelong female attendant? Hahahahahaha..."

Chen Cheng's吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or critical comments) had completely strayed from the main topic, but on stage, Wang Dong and Wu Feng were actually about to clash. Just as Wu Feng's left claw was about to strike Wang Dong's flank, Wang Dong suddenly swung his wing downwards, instantly rising several inches into the air. Wu Feng, who had been lunging forward, missed his target entirely. Without pausing, Wang Dong gracefully turned in mid-air, kicking Wu Feng in the back with his right leg, causing Wu Feng to stumble.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Dong flapped his wings and pounced on Ning Tian behind him. Seeing this, Wu Feng was furious and immediately wanted to turn around to support and help Nanmen Yun'er take down Wang Dong, who seemed to be out of the loop.

But just as Wu Feng turned around, intending to attack Wang Dong again, she felt a chill run down her spine, followed by a howling wind. Wu Feng hurriedly turned back and saw that it was Xiao Xiao's Soul-Suppressing Cauldron hurtling towards her. The swift attack made Wu Feng wary; instead of using her left hand to meet the blow head-on, she rolled to the side, barely dodging it. The Soul-Suppressing Cauldron slammed heavily onto the ground, causing a tremor. Wu Feng, who was trying to get up, almost lost her footing. Before she could react, the Soul-Suppressing Cauldron split into three, then emitted an even more violent tremor. It was Xiao Xiao's first soul skill—Calliron Tremor!

"The opportunity was seized very well. From the start, Wu Feng misjudged the situation, thinking Wang Dong was going to fight him head-on. He was tricked into a feint and instead went to attack the backline. Then, Xiao Xiao capitalized on Wu Feng's anger and eagerness to return to support, cleverly catching him off guard. She then suppressed his rise and unleashed a wave of crowd control. Although the timing was excellent, the world's number one support spirit isn't to be underestimated! Moreover, a three-ring Soul Master's support teaming up with a two-ring agility-based Soul Master—even if Wang Dong can hold them off or even defeat them, it will probably take him a lot of effort, right?"

Sure enough, the two girls on the other side, seeing Wang Dong approaching aggressively, lost all interest in admiring his wings and quickly reacted. The seemingly gentle Nanmen Yun'er suddenly appeared behind Wang Dong in a few strides, a pair of unremarkable emerald green wings sprouting from her back, her hands also turning emerald green as she attacked him.

Ning Tian was not idle either. As soon as he saw that the situation was not right, he immediately released his second soul skill. He pointed at the void in the direction of Wu Feng and chanted: "Seven treasures turn out with glazed glass, seven treasures have names, the second is: release!" A dazzling and exquisite little tower appeared in Ning Tian's hand. Several exclamations immediately rang out in the scene. Naturally, there were knowledgeable people who were marveling at the number one support-type martial soul in the world.

Ning Tian didn't stop after throwing a control-breaking spell at Wu Feng. He immediately released his first soul skill: "Seven Treasures have a name, the first is: Speed!" It was this amplification that made Nanmen Yun'er, who was originally standing next to him, attack Wang Dong like a cannonball in an instant.

However, Wang Dong showed no sign of panic. With the shared mental detection, he could "see" everyone's every move even with his eyes closed, making such a sneak attack from behind point of view ineffective. Wang Dong slashed backward with his right wing, perfectly blocking Nanmen Yun'er's attack. He then rose again, escaping Nanmen Yun'er's attack range, and pounced straight at Ning Tian.

  

On the other side, Wu Feng, who had just escaped the control buff, wanted to rush back to help immediately. She slammed her left claw onto the Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, not expecting to push it away, but using the force of the impact, she charged back. She only wanted to get Ning Tian out of trouble as soon as possible; compared to Nanmen Yun'er, she believed she could protect Ning Tian more.

Just as she was getting anxious, Wu Feng suddenly felt as if she had been pricked by a needle in the head, her steps faltering and all her strength draining away. Then, with a crisp "bang!", Wu Feng, who had just started to move, crashed into the cauldron that Xiao Xiao had blocked in front of her again. Sounds good, right? If it sounds good, then it's a good start!

Ning Tian observed the entire scene and saw that Wu Feng was repeatedly trapped, so he had to use his second soul skill to break free. At the same time, he shouted to Wu Feng, reminding her to deal with the immediate situation and not to keep coming this way, lest she be held back!

However, Ning Tian's situation wasn't much better. Although Wang Dong wasn't as fast as Nanmen Yun'er, he was in the air, forcing Nanmen Yun'er to defend against his attacks from above. She also had to constantly watch out for Wang Dong's offensive to prevent him from hitting Ning Tian. Even with Ning Tian's speed boost, Wang Dong found an extremely tricky angle for Nanmen Yun'er, and while Ning Tian was releasing his second soul skill, Wang Dong delivered a solid wave of Butterfly God's Light towards her. The lingering effect of the attack caused Nanmen Yun'er considerable pain, forcing her to immediately move in front of Ning Tian and unleash her first soul skill to try and deflect Wang Dong's attack. After a brief collision, the emerald green light behind Nanmen Yun'er had faded to almost transparent.

Wu Feng gritted her teeth and decided to ignore Ning Tian and deal with the situation at hand first. This time, her gaze was completely focused on Huo Yuhao. She knew that the needle-like headache she had just experienced must have been caused by this inconspicuous white-ringed guy in front of her. If she let him take action, she probably would never have the chance to support Ning Tian.

Huo Yuhao saw Wu Feng staring at him, but instead of looking away, he walked towards her.

"Hmph, instead of running away, they're coming towards me? Both are power-attack type teams, one against two, but it's clear Huo Yuhao's side has the advantage. There's no way around it, being able to fly is just too overpowered. Plus, Xiao Xiao's cauldron is different from the original, much heavier! A pure strength-type Soul Master of the same level, in a head-on clash, probably wouldn't have an easy time, let alone Wu Feng who might be aiming for elemental attacks. Even agility-type Soul Masters would have a hard time dodging Xiao Xiao's combined mental detection, let alone Wu Feng, who has no speed advantage. It seems that Huo Yuhao's team has the advantage on both sides now! Although they didn't directly kill Ning Tian with the soul impact after fusing Hao Dong's power like in the original, this still retains a trump card. And the current fight is quite exciting, not much less so than in the original!" Chen Cheng silently scored Huo Yuhao's team's performance in this match, roughly guessing Huo Yuhao's next move.

Wu Feng was now consumed by rage. At the beginning, the level 18 white spirit ring guy, whom he had completely looked down on, kept preventing him from going to support Ning Tian. Now, he was even walking towards him. This was a blatant provocation!

Thinking this, Wu Feng's first and second soul skills shone brightly simultaneously, and the temperature around her suddenly rose wildly. The ground beneath her feet seemed to crackle, and red flames rose around her. Just then, Ning Tian's voice rang out again from afar: "The Seven Treasures have names, the third being: Strength!" Wu Feng's aura instantly rose to another level, and her gaze towards Huo Yuhao revealed a hint of provocation. Huo Yuhao frowned slightly, but continued to move forward, creating distance between himself and Xiao Xiao, though he remained within Xiao Xiao's attack range.

On the other side, Ning Tian had already given all the buffs he could to his two teammates. Wang Dong didn't have any mental attack skills, so he couldn't interrupt the buffs Ning Tian gave. At this time, Nanmen Yun'er was able to barely withstand Wang Dong's attacks again. Therefore, Wang Dong stopped using his soul skills and kept himself within Nanmen Yun'er's attack range, harassing her from time to time and putting pressure on her.

Wu Feng's powerful claw strike was already aimed at Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao used the Shadow Step to dodge to Wu Feng's right, while simultaneously raising his left hand towards Wu Feng's outstretched foot, activating the Crane Control Dragon Capture technique, causing her unsteady footing to falter again. But no matter how he dodged, the distance between the two remained so close. A searing pain appeared on Huo Yuhao's face, but then a flash of light appeared, and Huo Yuhao's right hand held a seemingly exquisite shield that showed no fluctuation of soul power. The attack, which had already been somewhat deflected by Huo Yuhao's guidance, was now completely blocked by the shield.

Before Wu Feng could retract his left hand and adjust his balance, which had been somewhat disrupted by the Crane Control Dragon Capture, Huo Yuhao feinted with his shield, placing it in front of both himself and Wu Feng's faces. A final burst of purple light shot out from Huo Yuhao's eyes, causing Wu Feng to rub his forehead in exasperation, as his soul skills were nearly destroyed.

Worse still, in that instant, Huo Yuhao had already put away his shield, stepped to Wu Feng's side, and used his left and right hands to release the Crane Control and Dragon Capture techniques to pull Wu Feng's center of gravity, preventing him from moving instinctively. Xiao Xiao's cauldron also arrived at the same time, its second spirit ring shining brightly, and a powerful energy seemed to surge around it as it slammed down heavily towards Wu Feng.

Meanwhile, Ning Tian had no chance to give Wu Feng another chance to break free from the control. Under Huo Yuhao's guidance, Wang Dong released another wave of Butterfly God's Light towards Ning Tian. When Nanmen Yun'er tried to help him defend, Wang Dong flew to the other side and slashed down at Ning Tian with his winged guillotine. At this moment, Nanmen Yun'er could only pull Ning Tian behind her and then face the portion of Butterfly God's Light that Ning Tian couldn't dodge.

Wang Dong's sudden offensive left the two with no time to attend to the other side. Without his teammates' assistance, Wu Feng had no choice but to leave the ring under the referee's protection.

Just as Wu Feng was taken away by the referee, Xiao Xiao's Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, equipped with a second soul skill, slammed heavily onto the ground. A muffled thunderous roar reverberated throughout the entire arena, and cracks spread rapidly in all directions as if the ground were being torn apart. Wu Feng, who had already been pulled off the stage by the referee, couldn't help but shudder at the sight.

Seeing this, the two who were barely managing to keep up with the attack lost all desire to continue and decisively conceded defeat, leaving the ring.

"Huo Yuhao's team wins!"
