Douluo Amon: I am the Heavenly Venerable of the Dragon King.

Chapter 356 The Secret of Zhu Qing's Ice Toad Martial Soul

"Ha, again!"

Shenwei let out a wild laugh, his body radiating golden light, and his aura increased exponentially. On the surface of the lightning claw Zeus in his hand, a faint lightning dragon even appeared.

Then, with a little force, he actually managed to deflect Long Yue's spear, and thrust his spear forward, aiming directly at Long Yue.

"Ding!"

Long Yue held his double-pointed spear horizontally to block, and the spear struck the surface with a crisp sound, actually shattering a triangular scale on it.

Long Yue roared and stomped his right foot on the ground. The huge shockwave spread out in all directions.

"That's exhilarating!" Shenwei laughed loudly, and the long spear in his hand roared with a dragon's cry. The faintly visible thunder dragon on the spear broke through the spear and transformed into a giant thunder elemental dragon that pounced towards Long Yue.

Long Yue flapped his wings violently, unleashing an extremely terrifying surge of soul power, and a layer of dark golden mist faintly rose from his body. He didn't dodge or evade, but instead directly withstood the thunder dragon's attack with his chest.

A burst of dark golden light flashed, and Long Yue let out a muffled groan, but his body did not retreat an inch. Instead, he used the force of his previous stomp to surge forward.

Kamui's body was forced backward by the impact of the double-pointed spear.

"He is indeed very strong. Unless you have a dragon bloodline that can counter him, or a nemesis like Lufa, it will be really difficult to fight him."

Kamui landed on the ground, supporting himself with his spear. Golden lightning flashed continuously in his eyes, and he could clearly feel his bloodline being compressed, undergoing a further fusion.

This should be the current limit of bloodline fusion.

"Feed".

Suddenly, Shenwei called out to Long Yue.

"Um?"

Long Yue barely suppressed his violent emotions and looked at Shenwei with a puzzled expression.

"How about a decisive blow? I see you're about to give up too."

Shenwei's voice was not concealed at all, and it spread directly throughout the arena. Even the spectators in the stands could hear it clearly through their soul-guided devices.

Has he gone mad? His cultivation was already inferior to Long Yue's, and now that Long Yue is wearing the two-word battle armor, he actually wants to fight him head-on? And what does he mean by saying that Long Yue is about to give up?

This was the question on the minds of the audience members, and it was also Fang'er's question.

Even Enci on the platform sharpened his gaze upon hearing Shenwei's words. He hadn't expected Shenwei to be able to sense that Long Yue's unusual mood; this was a closely guarded secret within the Star Luo Empire!

They kept this news very well hidden. Apart from the imperial high command and the other Heavenly Kings of Monster Academy, no one else should know about it.

If the public were to know that the power of the Dragon Leap is risky, it would only cause unnecessary panic.

After all, no matter how powerful a country is, if it cannot control itself, it is not a lucky thing for the country, but is likely to bring disaster, especially for ordinary people.

Since Shenwei saw through Long Yue's weakness, why did he still choose to confront Long Yue head-on? With the high mobility of his martial soul, he could have easily stalled Long Yue until he lost control and revealed a weakness before launching a counterattack.

Enci couldn't figure out this problem no matter how hard she tried.

"it is good."

Long Yue responded in a deep voice. Although he didn't know how Shenwei had noticed that something was wrong with him, he was indeed close to his limit. If he continued to drag it out, he would really lose control of himself.

Taking a deep breath, Long Yue's body shone with a surge of dark golden light, and phantom images of mountains, rivers, swamps, and other landscapes appeared behind him before gradually merging into the spear in his hand.

Although he didn't have any profound understanding of the unity of man and spear, he could still manage to integrate his own abilities into the spear.

This next spear thrust will be his strongest attack! The battle armor on Long Yue's body continuously emitted light, causing the surrounding air to solidify.

"Crackling and popping—" Kamui also gripped his spear tightly with both hands, golden lightning constantly flashing across his body.

Strange patterns appeared on the golden battle armor. Upon closer inspection, one could see that the armor seemed to be alive, constantly absorbing and releasing the surrounding lightning to strengthen Shenwei's body.

A phantom image of a giant dragon with black scales and gold markings slowly merged into the spear in his hand; that was his martial spirit: Thunder Claw Dragon.

"Suppress the mountain dragon!"

"Thunder Dragon Breaks the Sky".

"boom--"

The two collided instantly.

The immense pressure of the mountains collided violently with the raging thunder, and powerful air currents spread outwards. The arena floor, unable to withstand the violent pressure, began to gradually break and crack.

Dust swirled and obscured the battlefield between the two.

rostrum.

Fang'er's commentary had long since stopped, and the audience was so engrossed that even their breathing became barely audible.

Even Dai Tianling, Enci, Tang Bingyao (head of the Douluo Continent delegation), and Ao Hongchen and the others in the private box all had their eyes fixed on the competition stage.

Soon, the smoke and dust dissipated, revealing Shenwei and Longyue, each standing where the other had been.

Who's winning!

Suddenly, Long Yue's massive, ten-meter-tall body turned around, looking at Shen Wei. His lips twitched, as if he wanted to say something. But soon, a trickle of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, and he ultimately failed to utter a word, collapsing to the ground.

Long Yue's battle armor had been pierced through, leaving a large hole. Blood was flowing out of his chest, staining the ground red.

"Haha! Hahaha!"

Kamui barely supported his body with his spear, then burst into laughter. In the end, he was the one who prevailed. Even though part of the victory was due to the strength of his battle armor, he was the final victor!

His battle armor also had a large hole, from which traces of blood could be seen seeping out, but it was not as serious as Long Yue's.

The area of ​​his battle armor on his chest twitched slightly, as if trying to repair itself. However, given that this was in public, his battle armor did not attempt to do so.

The entire venue had 100,000 spectators.

At this moment, the expressions of Enci, the dean of Monster Academy, Dai Tianling, the emperor of the Star Luo Empire, and Tang Bingyao, the head of the Douluo Continent Federation delegation, were all frozen.

At this moment, the Xingluo Stadium, with its huge audience, and even among the hundreds of thousands of spectators outside the stadium, was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Only Shenwei's wild laughter remained, echoing wildly throughout the stadium.

If Long Yue hadn't been lying on the ground, eyes closed and unconscious, if his two-word battle armor hadn't had a clear, gaping hole, if Shen Wei hadn't been the only one on the stage, laughing heartily...

No one wanted to believe that what was happening before their eyes was real!

Yes! Kamui won!

They defeated Longyue in this semi-final!

Their Star Luo Empire's top monster king, the champion of the previous All-Continent Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition, known as the monster Long Yue who appears only once in a thousand years, didn't even make it to the finals!

The final individual championship will inevitably be decided among the outsiders from Douluo Continent.

In the waiting area, the other students from Monster Academy stared blankly at the figure laughing wildly on the competition stage.

They lost. Long Yue actually lost, and lost so thoroughly.

They lost the match, the clash between Monster Academy and Douluo Continent. Even the mighty Long Yue couldn't turn the tide; he didn't even make it to the finals.

An unprecedented feeling of suffocation pressed heavily on their hearts, making it difficult for them to breathe!

At this moment, all the monster kings and once-in-a-millennium geniuses became a joke!

On the platform, Dean Enci stood up, looked towards the arena, and in a flash appeared on the stage, looking at the laughing Shenwei with a complicated expression.

Without saying much, Enci picked up Longyue, who had returned to his original form, and left.

The most anticipated individual competition of the All-Continent Elite Youth Advanced Soul Master Tournament has concluded. At least from the audience's perspective, the competition is over.

Their highly anticipated Dragon King Long Yue couldn't even defeat the opposing vice-captain and was thus blocked from the final round.

The name Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is deeply imprinted in the hearts of every citizen of the Star Luo Empire.

Dai Tianling's face was also stiff. This time, their Star Luo Empire had really lost face big time.

A Soul King versus a Soul Emperor, a one-word battle armor versus a two-word battle armor. Even so, Long Yue still lost. All the publicity they had done for Long Yue, aiming to portray him as a leader of the younger generation on the Star Luo Continent, completely collapsed.

He paved the way for those outsiders to Douluo Continent. In the future, when people mention Dragon King Long Yue, they are more likely to recall the fact that he was defeated by someone of a higher level than he was powerful.

The individual championship match will be held on the morning of the second day after a day of rest.

There was no publicity, after all, it wasn't something worth publicizing. But even so, the matter still became widely known. After all, it was a competition held every three years, attracting attention from the entire continent.

Those betting companies that used to use individual championships as a selling point to make money dared not open any betting platforms anymore, otherwise they would definitely be targeted by the Star Luo Empire's official authorities.

……

Inside the Xingluo Hotel.

Looking at the group celebrating in front of him, Dang Hongchen couldn't help but smile. This competition had really made their Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy famous.

Although it wasn't on the Douluo Continent, it was definitely a valuable experience for these children.

clap clap clap!

He clapped his hands, drawing the attention of the celebrating group, and said, "You all performed exceptionally well in this competition. The dean said that he would prepare a reward for each of you when we return to the academy."

In addition, the delegation's higher-ups also witnessed your performance. Upon returning to the mainland, the Federation will commend you for successfully defending the honor of Douluo Continent and demonstrating the prestige of our Sun Moon Federation.

Kuang Zhantian asked curiously, "Teacher Dang, what exactly is the reward?"

"Hmm..." Dang Hongchen thought for a while before saying, "The Federation's reward should come from rare metals, which will make it easier for you to forge battle armor in the future."

As for the academy's rewards, I'll give you a sneak peek beforehand. In addition to cultivation resources, the dean will personally craft a soul tool for each of you. You can decide on the specific type yourself, but it cannot exceed level seven.

"Wow!" The other members of the Seven Stars of Glory exclaimed instantly. Level seven is a branching point for soul tools. Reaching this level means that it can be called a high-level soul tool.

A level seven soul tool costs at least hundreds of millions of federal coins, and those that can be custom-made for a specific person are even more valuable.

Dang Hongchen chuckled as he looked at the group. "Alright, we still have a year before we return to Douluo Continent. During this time, you have plenty of time to think about what type of soul tool you need."

Now, let's celebrate! The individual championship is practically ours for the taking.

Hearing Dang Hongchen's words, the others nodded and became even more excited, gulping down their sparkling water mixed with a little alcohol.

Lu Fa sat quietly to the side and watched the scene. Although he did not dislike this kind of celebration banquet, his personality dictated that he could not join in the lively drinking with others.

"Brother Lufa, why aren't you drinking with us?" After a while, Zui Hongchen came to find Lufa with a flushed face.

The girl's cheeks were flushed, her eyes were hazy and alluring, and she looked at Lu Fa with slightly narrowed eyes, seemingly drunk but not quite. She even let out a small hiccup, which made her look exceptionally cute.

Lufa shook his head. "I'm not very interested in these kinds of occasions. You guys can drink by yourselves."

"No, no, you're one of the main characters at this celebration banquet, how can you not drink?" Zui Hongchen pouted unhappily, then slowly approached him, exuding a faint fragrance of wine and the unique scent of a young girl.

"If you really don't want to drink, then come to my room to drink," the girl said, her breath sweet and fragrant. Fueled by the alcohol, she seemed much bolder than usual.

Lu Fa frowned and gently pushed Zui Hongchen away. "Little Zui, you've probably had too much to drink. You should rest for a while."

"Hmm, I'm not drunk." Drunken Dust suddenly pounced on Lu Fa, wrapping her body around him, and whispered in Lu Fa's ear, "Besides, I have a secret I haven't told you yet."

"secret?"

"Yes, it's about the secret of our Hongchen family's Zhu Qing Ice Toad Martial Soul." Zui Hongchen nodded, then looked at Lu Fa's somewhat curious expression and revealed a sly smile.

"You should know about Zhu Qing's Ice Toad Martial Soul, which can generate a special kind of cold poison by alternating between ice and fire."

"Hmm." Lufa nodded.

A hint of shyness appeared in Zui Hongchen's eyes, and her red lips parted slightly: "But actually, besides that, Zhu Qing Ice Toad Martial Soul has another special ability, which is that when the user is female, she can use this characteristic to freely regulate her body temperature."

"Hmm?" Lufa was puzzled. Was this some kind of secret that needed to be hidden?

"In other words, we can freely adjust the temperature there to give our partner the pleasure of experiencing both ice and fire."

Furthermore, the toxicity of Zhu Qing's Ice Toad Martial Soul can temporarily accelerate the secretion of adrenaline in the human body, thereby increasing its stimulating effect. I've always been quite curious about this ability. If Brother Lu Fa doesn't mind, could we try it out tonight?

"Your physical abilities are so strong, I want to see just how potent the venom of the Zhu Qing Ice Toad can be, or perhaps..."

"Remove the dirt."

Before Zui Hongchen could finish speaking, her head was firmly gripped by a large hand, and Xue Liushuang was looking at her with a smile.

"Looks like you're really drunk, Xiao Zui. Come here, let Sister Liushuang help you sober up." Before Zui Hongchen could react, she pulled her off Lu Fa.

"Sister Liushuang, what are you doing! I'm not drunk, I haven't finished speaking yet!"

"No, to be able to spout such nonsense, it seems you really need to sober up. Don't worry, your Sister Liushuang's splitting sword happens to contain ice elements, which will definitely sober you up."

"No, stop!!"

Watching the group playfully bickering, Lu Fa couldn't help but chuckle. He decided to prepare first, since he had to get up early tomorrow.
