Triggering a treasure chest in Douluo Continent

Chapter 45 Yuuji, Oslo

Team Tian Dou II still has to fight one match after another. Only after winning can they go to Wuhun City to participate in the finals. He doesn't have that kind of free time. Wouldn't it be better to just join Team Tian Dou and be guaranteed a spot in the finals?

There were no complicated ceremonies involved in this selection process. Once the members of the Tiandou Team and Tiandou Second Team arrived, the selection challenge began quickly.

Shi Quan was directly arranged to be the first to go on stage.

Stepping onto the Soul Arena and looking at the dense crowd around him, Shi Quan gently rubbed his nose, feeling somewhat unaccustomed to being watched by so many people.

To his surprise, Ning Rongrong also came to watch the game. He originally thought Ning Rongrong would be depressed for at least a day, but she came to watch his game in the afternoon.

Shi Quan's opponent was a tall, strong young man who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old. His muscular physique made him look like a powerful offensive Soul Master.

"This selection match is just a friendly one, so please stop while you're ahead." The referee, the teacher, stepped between the two and continued, "Greet each other, introduce yourselves, and then release your martial spirits."

The burly young man introduced, "Xiong Er, Martial Soul: Mad Bear, Level 27 Power Attack Type Battle Soul Master."

Shi Quan also introduced himself: "Shi Quan, Martial Soul Blue Silver Grass, Level 22 Control-type Battle Soul Master."

"Only level 22? And his martial soul is Blue Silver Grass? Wasn't it said that his vines could control seven people at once?"

Upon hearing this, Xiong Er's expression showed a hint of surprise. He had also heard of Shi Quan's reputation. With a second-level thousand-year soul ring, he possessed crowd control abilities and had defeated the seven members of Avalanche by fighting them alone.

Although it was unexpected, Xiong Er and Xue Beng were different from spoiled brats, and their expressions quickly returned to seriousness.

Roar!

A deep, rumbling bear roar echoed throughout the entire Soul Arena. The already tall and imposing Xiong Er swelled up again, revealing reddish-brown fur and sharp claws that gleamed with cold light. A violent aura followed closely behind, and two pale yellow soul rings floated up and down.

On the other side, Shi Quan appeared unusually calm, except for the conspicuous purple spirit ring beneath him.

It immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the venue. Shi Quan's thousand-year soul ring had already spread due to the avalanche, but seeing it with their own eyes again still caused quite a stir among the crowd.

"The competition begins." The teacher announced.

Yuji suddenly moved, rushing towards Shi Quan with a ferocious momentum like an unstoppable truck.

Shi Quan's first spirit ring immediately lit up, and the Blue Silver Grass in his hand transformed into a large number of vines that swept towards the bear youth.

Xiong Er shuddered with one leg, and his first spirit ring lit up as well. A barrier appeared around him, completely isolating the Blue Silver Grass around his body. He had heard of Shi Quan's powerful control abilities, so naturally he wouldn't let the Blue Silver Grass released by Shi Quan get close to him.

Shi Quan raised his hand and flicked it. The Blue Silver Grass, which was originally extending along the ground, was thrown out like waves. The vines that were originally extending along the ground immediately changed direction and extended upwards along the barrier released by the bear youth. The Blue Silver Grass grew extremely fast. Almost instantly, the intertwined Blue Silver vines quickly transformed into a cage along the barrier.

Xiong Er hadn't expected Shi Quan to be like this, and immediately prepared to sweep away the blue silver vines. However, at this moment, Shi Quan's second spirit ring lit up.

Second Soul Skill: Blue Silver Hardening.

The soft vines emitted a dark, jade-like luster, then instantly turned into something as hard as iron.

Yuuji's forward momentum suddenly halted, and the surrounding barriers slammed violently into the iron cage formed by the hardened blue silver grass.

With a thud, he was knocked completely unconscious.

"I'd like to see just how tough your Blue Silver Grass really is."

Xiong Er let out an angry roar, his second spirit ring suddenly lit up, and his brown-red bear paw rapidly enlarged, slamming a powerful blow onto the Blue Silver Grass.

A dull thud resounded, and the massive blue silver grass cage trembled. The area where the bear-like youth paws struck only cracked a few times, without even breaking a single vine. It had absolutely no real effect on such a large cage.

"How can the vines of this Blue Silver Grass be so hard? What kind of spirit beast's spirit ring could make such a soft plant so tough?"

A look of amazement flashed in Yu Tianheng's eyes as he sat in the seats of the Tian Dou team, before he looked at Oslo with a solemn expression.

"Oslo, if Shi Quan challenges you, you must not give him a chance to make contact with the Blue Silver Grass. You must rely on your speed to win in one strike. If you are trapped by him, you will surely lose."

"I understand," Oslo said in a low voice, his expression equally serious. He hadn't paid much attention to Shi Quan before, especially after hearing about his soul power level and martial soul.

But his thoughts changed immediately. The powerful control that Blue Silver Grass displayed on the field was something he could not break free from, and he had to be careful.

Boom boom boom!

After several more violent blows, Xiong Er, trapped in the blue silver cage, gasped for breath, his thick arms trembling slightly. After using his second soul skill in succession, his soul power was already quite depleted, but the blue silver cage in front of him was still unbreakable, making him question his existence.

Yuuji understood that continuing the bombardment would only cause him more suffering. Looking through the gaps in the Blue Silver Grass, he saw that Shi Quan had remained standing in the same spot the whole time without moving. Although their soul power levels differed by five, their strength was exactly the opposite of their soul power levels. Yuuji then took the initiative to admit defeat, saying, "Teacher, I can't break his control. I admit defeat."

"He won so easily against a level 27 Soul Master? He didn't even flinch." Ning Rongrong bit her lip, looking at Shi Quan.

She came to watch the match to see Shi Quan make a fool of himself, but Shi Quan won the match without even moving an inch.

Although Ning Rongrong didn't want to admit it, Shi Quan was indeed more outstanding and more hardworking than her...

"Xiong Er concedes defeat, Shi Quan wins the selection competition, congratulations to Shi Quan for joining the Tian Dou Second Team." The teacher's voice rang out on the stage.

Shi Quan withdrew his martial spirit and asked, "Now that Teacher has joined the second team, can I apply to participate in the selection for the Heaven Dou Team?"

"He's directly challenging the Heavenly Battle Team?" The many student teams watching the match immediately became excited.

This is the first time in history that something like this has ever happened.

Currently, since the Tian Dou Team and Tian Dou Second Team were initially established, no one has ever been able to join the First Team directly from the Second Team from outside the team.

Keep in mind that the weakest member of the team right now is a level 29 Great Soul Master. If it's next year, the weakest member will be level 30 or above.

A level 22 Soul Master challenging a level 29 Great Soul Master, whose Soul Power is a full level 7.

The teacher who was acting as the referee was not surprised. He nodded and said, "Okay, you should recover your soul power first. I will arrange a match for you after your soul power recovers."

"Thank you for your help, teacher." Shi Quan nodded and left the stage, returning to the rest area to begin his recovery.

Because the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul consumes little soul power, and the divine skill itself has the Yin-Yang mutual generation and mutual nourishment, it is constantly recovering while being consumed, so Shi Quan's soul power consumption is actually not great.

To avoid appearing too unusual, Shi Quan waited patiently until the other three finished their selection competitions. He then cultivated for about fifteen minutes before emerging from the rest area and signaling to the teacher on stage that he had recovered.

Within fifteen minutes, the enthusiasm of everyone present had not dissipated; on the contrary, they were all discussing whether Shi Quan could join the Tian Dou team.

"Then let's go up on stage." The teacher nodded to Shi Quan, then looked at the other side of the Soul Arena, towards Oslo.

Osro of the Heavenly Fighting Team also got up and walked towards the Soul Fighting Stage.

"I'll wait for you to come back victorious," Yu Tianheng said to Oslo.

"Don't worry, boss." Oslo smiled at Yu Tianheng, but his expression immediately turned serious when he turned to look at the Soul Arena.

"Both sides introduce themselves and release their martial spirits."

"Osro, a level 29 agility-type battle spirit master, with the spirit of the Ghost Leopard."

"Shi Quan, a level 22 control-type battle spirit master, whose martial spirit is Blue Silver Grass."

The opening was the same as before, but this time the difference was that Shi Quan's opponent was Oslo from the Tian Dou team.

Unlike Xiong Er, who possesses the Mad Bear Martial Soul, Oslo exudes a dangerous aura after releasing his Martial Soul. Like Xiong Er, he also has two yellow Martial Soul Rings.

Shi Quan held the Blue Silver Grass hanging down. In this kind of arena battle, control-type soul masters are the most effective against agility-type soul masters because their nimble movements cannot be fully utilized.

Osro's only advantage is the difference in soul power level, which is also the most important point in this battle. If Osro can use the difference in soul power level to hit Shi Quan with a slow reaction, Osro will have a chance to win this battle.

"The match begins."

With the teacher's command.

Shi Quan's first spirit ring lit up again. Centered on Shi Quan, the Blue Silver Grass vines spread along the ground and covered an area within a three-meter diameter around Shi Quan's body in the blink of an eye, and then rapidly expanded.

Without the slightest pause, Oslo's crawling body suddenly sprang up, leaving a trail of afterimages, and pounced on Shi Quan head-on.

When Oslo rushed into the range of the Blue Silver Grass, the Blue Silver Grass from all directions immediately extended upwards along Oslo's legs. Oslo's agile figure swung, and with his speed and strength, he directly knocked the Blue Silver Grass away, giving it no chance to entangle him.

To all the spectators, Oslo appeared to be dancing in a sea of ​​vines, his movements swift and graceful.

"Oslo's movements were too fast; Shi Quan's Blue Silver Grass couldn't entangle him."

Ning Rongrong, who was in the stands, should have been delighted to see this scene, but for some reason, she subconsciously clenched her fists and stared intently at the progress of the match on the Soul Fighting Stage.
