Douluo: The Gate to Heaven

Xie Huanyue was clearly quite confident in his own impact.

The moment he took to the air, Tu Nan Bu Po's three spirit rings behind the giant shield also came into his view. He underestimated Tuoba Wu Kong, who hadn't even released his martial spirit and was only using an ordinary, heavy shield to defend himself.

In his opinion, if this team could still lose a member in the previous day's battle even with Tu Nan Bu Po having a three-ring Soul Master, then the remaining two must be quite ordinary in strength, unable to even carry a three-ring Soul Master, and are not worth fearing at all.

Moreover, Tuoba Wukong didn't even dare to release his own martial spirit. Did he think he could withstand the attacks of a soul master by relying on a giant shield? It was simply a publicity stunt.

but.

When Xie Huanyue crashed into the heavy shield raised by Tuoba Wukong with unstoppable force, his expression changed.

The outcome he had anticipated—that Tuoba Wukong would be directly knocked away by him—did not occur.

Tuoba Wukong's body sank slightly, and the shield in his hand blocked Xie Huanyue's impact like an impregnable wall. Pipi, true to its name, had skin with great elasticity. Instead of breaking through Tuoba Wukong's defense, its own body was bounced back by the huge elasticity.

However, Xie Huanyue's defensive capabilities were not to be underestimated. Although the impact sent him flying, his thick skin and fat absorbed all the kinetic energy, leaving him unharmed.

As Xie Huanyue's second spirit ring lit up, his short, thick arms under the fleshy ball instantly stretched out like putty, gripping the ground to prevent his body from flying off the stage.

After all, this is a ring battle, and once he flies out of the ring, it means that his assessment is over.

After releasing his second soul skill, Xie Huanyue didn't even have time to catch his breath before immediately releasing his third soul skill, which was born a thousand years ago. The purple light instantly illuminated his entire body, making his body resemble a purple ball, radiating a strong purple light as he faced Tu Nan Bupo, who was soaring into the sky behind Tuoba Wukong.

Tu Nan Bu Po changed his previous swinging motion, and crimson flames swirled around the Tu Nan spear in his hand. The flames ignited the red tassel and the tip of the spear, and it shot out like a long rainbow.

The most powerful attack of the Tu Nan Spear is naturally its gleaming spear tip. In the previous battle, he mainly relied on swinging and smashing, mainly because his attacks were too powerful. Others did not even have a chance to escape under his thrusts. Facing Xie Huan Yue, who has a top-notch defensive beast martial soul, he naturally did not need to hold back.

The purple light emanating from Xie Huanyue landed on Tu Nanbupo, causing a violent ripple like water. Tu Nanbupo's charge was abruptly halted, his body frozen in mid-air before plummeting downwards.

Just as he was about to fall to the ground, a shield suddenly appeared at his feet. It was none other than Tuoba Wukong, who swung the giant shield to deflect the attacks of Luo Tianba and Luo Tianlong's silver mantis blades. Taking advantage of the gap in the attack, Tuoba Wukong appeared perfectly at Tu Nanbupo's feet.

During his descent, the Tu Nan Fire burning on the spear in Tu Nan Bu Po's hand had already spread to his entire body, burning away all the purple light that enveloped him like rippling waves, and restoring his freedom.

With a light tap of his toes, Tu Nanbupo sent a heavy force emanating from the giant shield in Tuoba Wukong's hand, causing Tuoba Wukong's body to sink involuntarily.

Using the momentum of this stomp, Tu Nanbupo leaped into the air once more, his fighting spirit bursting forth as he thrust his spear through the air.

The scorching heat of the spear swept over him, and Xie Huanyue's expression changed drastically. He recognized Tu Nan Bupo's martial spirit, "Tu Nan Spear, you're from the Tu Nan family!"

boom!

The defense of Xie Huanyue's prized Pipi Elephant was no longer of any use against Tu Nan Spear. The spear tip, burning with crimson flames, pierced Xie Huanyue's skin, and Xie Huanyue immediately deflated like a punctured balloon, his swollen body shrinking and his face turning pale.

The development direction of Xie Huanyue's martial soul is unique. It abandons the pure defense of the traditional Pipi Elephant and takes advantage of its own weight to combine defense, impact and control. It can be said that it has no weaknesses in the battle. It has both attack and control as well as defense.

However, having a wide variety of skills also means that one is not proficient enough.

Against ordinary Soul Masters, the Pipi Elephant's natural defensive attributes are enough to make most Soul Masters despair.

But this does not include the world-renowned, invincible Tu Nan Spear.

The Evil Illusion Moon has fallen.

Tu Nanbupo's body crashed to the ground, his spear shattering Xie Huanyue's defenses. He seemed to have barely expended any energy, his gaze sweeping over the two brothers, Luo Tianlong and Luo Tianba, with fierce fighting spirit.

The "battle intent" surged forth, and Luo Tianlong and Luo Tianba instantly lost all their fighting spirit. Not to mention Tu Nanbupo, who had powerfully defeated their core leader Xie Huanyue, they were completely helpless against Tuoba Wukong's impenetrable ink-wash defense.

"We surrender." Luo Tianlong immediately withdrew his martial spirit and raised his hands in surrender.

Upon hearing this, Tuoba Wukong also put away his shield and walked off the stage with Tu Nan Bupo calmly, without a trace of emotion on his face, as if he had just defeated a few ordinary opponents.

The other teams watching from the audience remained silent.

That's incredible, absolutely incredible.

Do they really have a chance to win?

"Xiao Xiao, Wang Dong, are you two confident in defeating Tuoba Wukong and the others?" Huo Yuhao couldn't help but look at Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao.

Wang Dong paused for a moment, then said, "If I had enough time, or if I were to reach level 30, my attack power would not be weaker than Tu Nan Bu Po's."

Even someone as confident as Wang Dong wasn't sure she could defeat Tu Nan Bu Po in a one-on-one situation. Of course, with Huo Yuhao's mental detection assistance and the release of her second martial soul, she wasn't without confidence to fight Tu Nan Bu Po. But did she really want to reveal her second martial soul so quickly?

Xiao Xiao on the other side also said, "If it were Tuoba Wukong, with the class monitor's assistance, I might have a chance to fight him. He is very strong, but he might not be able to withstand the attack of my Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron."

As the holder of twin martial souls, she also has her own trump cards.

The strength that Tuoba Wukong displayed was not enough to make her so afraid that she dared not fight.

If Huo Yuhao and his team's confidence was so severely shaken, what about the remaining teams?

The team that was chosen to be in the same group as Tuoba Wukong and his group were not ordinary people. Even though they took the two teams with three-ring Soul Masters seriously, they were not without their youthful pride and were not convinced. They believed that they were not without the ability to fight back.

However, the performance of Tuoba Wukong and Tu Nanbupo cast a shadow over their hearts.

"The competition continues, the second match of the sixth round..." Du Ruoshui clearly did not intend to give these students too many opportunities to adjust, and directly pointed out the two teams that would continue the assessment.

The assessment is still ongoing...

"Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, our win rate should be very close to entering the top 64. The Xie Huan Yue team and the Tuoba Wu Kong team both have Soul Masters above level 30, and the strength of the other team members should not be underestimated. After all, this is only the qualifying round, and we don't need to go head-to-head with them."

"I suggest that when facing Tuoba Wukong's team, we don't need to go all out. If things don't look good, we can just admit defeat. But when facing Xie Huanyue's team, we can see how well Xie Huanyue is recovering before deciding whether to go all out."

Huo Yuhao looked at Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao and offered his thoughts.

Although the three-day qualifying rounds are important, based on their performance, their chances of advancing to the knockout stage are already very high. If they were to fight to the death against the two teams with Soul Masters, Tuoba Wukong and Xie Huanyue, even if they won, they might suffer heavy losses, which could lead to defeat in the following battles or even lose the opportunity to enter the knockout stage.

Assessing the situation and acting within one's capabilities is itself a form of assessment in this process.

When faced with a formidable enemy, failing to make the right choices and instead stubbornly confronting them head-on may ultimately lead to greater losses than gains.

Hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Xiao Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

"Class monitor, you're right. We don't need to fight Tuoba Wukong and his group to the death. We can avoid their sharp edge and deal with them in the elimination rounds. Besides..."

"I feel like our group assignments this time are a bit strange!"

Xiao Xiao thought for a moment and then said.

The two groups currently battling on the stage are both composed entirely of Great Soul Masters.

Including them, this grouping looks really strange.

To be on the safe side, selectively admitting defeat might be the best option.

Not only Huo Yuhao and his group, but other teams also had the same idea at this moment.

Avoid their strengths and strive to win other matches.

Next, when facing Tuoba Wukong's two-man team, the teams lost all fighting spirit and simply surrendered when they realized they were no match for them.

Tuoba Wukong and Tu Nan Bupo experienced the easy mode of the freshman assessment for the first time. They easily won ten consecutive victories and ended the assessment with a perfect record.

Seeing this, Du Ruoshui could only laugh to herself. Those behind the scenes who were targeting Tuoba Wukong had backfired. They had planned to use Xie Huanyue and the other two to wear down Tu Nanbupo and Tuoba Wukong. Even if Tuoba Wukong and Tu Nanbupo won, they would suffer heavy losses and find it difficult to win in the next battle.

Unexpectedly, Tu Nan Bu Po and Tuoba Wu Kong defeated Xie Huan Yue and his two companions with overwhelming force, which instead dampened the fighting spirit of the others, making Xie Huan Yue's team a "soft target" to be bullied by other teams.

Due to Xie Huanyue's serious injury, his team failed to win any of the next three matches against other strong teams. In the end, Xie Huanyue had no choice but to lead the team despite his severe injuries, which worsened his condition, and they managed to win the final match with great difficulty.

However, their record remained dismal, managing only one win and accumulating a total of six wins and four losses. This record was truly appalling for a team with a Soul Master rank.

In contrast, Huo Yuhao's team, except for the match against Tuoba Wukong's team where they held back their strength, won all four other matches, including the match against Xie Huanyue's team, achieving a total of nine wins and one loss.
