Douluo Continent: A Man of Unparalleled Talent and Heaven-Defying Comprehension

Chapter 179 Battle Armor Master! (Please subscribe!!!)

Unlike other teams such as Shrek, the Sun and Moon Royal team's reserve team still follows the previous selection criteria, consisting of students under the age of fifteen who are eligible to participate in the next competition.

With all the teams fielding their strongest lineups this time, the two teams in the main selection and the preliminary selection can adjust to each other.

The lineup of the Sun & Moon Royal team is quite unique.

It gives the impression of standing out from the crowd.

This is why many teams did not show any fear of Su Yu's strength in the Sun and Moon Royal Team.

Even the strongest teams still need to compete in individual and team events.

In the individual competition, as long as Su Yu is allowed to make a move and his strength is greatly depleted, the team competition is likely to win. The same applies to the 2-2-3 match.

Unfortunately, what no one knew was that they might not even be able to exhaust all the other members of the Sun and Moon Royal Team besides Su Yu.

It's even less likely that Su Yu will be worn down to the point of affecting his performance in the next game.

"Aojian Sect, Wu Yifan." (This is the only name in the original work; Aojian Sect was also one of the top eight teams.)

"Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Battle Armor Master, Xiao Ping."

"The match begins!"

Both sides instantly unleashed their respective martial spirits.

Xiao Ping's team has two yellow, two purple, and one black rings, making him a five-ring Soul King.

A giant cyan sword appeared behind Wu Yifan, surrounded by six spirit rings: two yellow, two purple, and two black.

Six-Ring Soul Emperor!

The Proud Sword Sect immediately dispatched a six-ring Soul Emperor, and a powerful offensive Soul Master specializing in swordsmanship, known for his decisive and ruthless nature.

Wu Yifan held the cyan greatsword in his hand, with six spirit rings arranged around it.

Below the stage, Ji Juechen, who had been pulled over by Su Yu to watch the battle, had bright eyes. Looking at Wu Yifan and feeling the chilling sword aura, he felt an urge to go up and spar with him.

"Don't be impulsive. I brought you here to broaden your horizons, not to increase your combat experience. You already have enough experience; what you lack is knowledge."

Su Yu suppressed Ji Juechen and told him to watch carefully and learn from others' sword skills, to see what was different, and not just focus on the opponent's strengths and weaknesses, but to think about the characteristics of the sword skills, their effects, and how they were achieved.

Why do it this way?

Xiao Ping is merely a Soul King.

However, Wu Yifan remained calm in the face of a six-ring Soul Emperor and rushed forward instantly.

Storage soul tools shimmered throughout his body, and fourteen pieces of battle armor appeared one after another, instantly fusing with Xiao Ping's martial soul and donning his body.

However, the soul power fluctuations of the Soul King level also surged instantly, and the five soul rings shone with an even more dazzling light.

Xiao Ping's speed did not decrease despite wearing a new set of soul tool armor; on the contrary, it increased instantly.

Wu Yifan realized this as he moved forward and hastily activated his soul skill.

The first spirit ring flashed, transforming into a yellow light that merged into the cyan greatsword.

He swung his sword down, unleashing a burst of sword energy towards Xiao Ping.

Both fighters are close-combat offensive fighters. The moment the match started, they began to close the distance between them. At this moment, when they unleashed their sword energy, due to Xiao Ping's sudden burst of speed, the two were only ten meters apart.

Xiao Ping's battle armor circulated his soul power, instantly generating a soul-guided shield.

Among the initial-level battle armors of Xiao Ping, Ping Xing, and Zhou Xinghao, the soul-guiding shield generated by the coordinated operation of their battle armors is the strongest in Xiao Ping's battle armor.

He is naturally inclined towards close combat, and he used to use soul-guided armor, so he is very good at it. His fighting style also tends to be about taking hits head-on.

The Soul Guidance Shield is no less effective than any ten-thousand-year-old Soul Skill.

boom!

The soul-guided shield only flickered a few times and did not break. Instead, Xiao Ping withstood the attack and continued to charge towards Wu Yifan.

Upon seeing this, Wu Yifan's third and fifth spirit rings flashed instantly, transforming into purple and black light that merged into the giant sword.

The cyan giant sword was already quite large, and now it grew even larger. Wu Yifan held the sword with both hands and swung it down, the giant sword radiating a three-foot-long sword aura.

However, Xiao Ping's battle armor boots slowed down instantly under the thrusters, and at the same time, energy bursts out from the battle armor on his left elbow, waist, and left leg, instantly changing his trajectory.

The three-foot-long sword beam slashed through, cutting off the energy jet.

A level-six soul tool longsword appeared in Xiao Ping's right hand. He infused it with his soul power, and a sword light flashed as he slashed towards Wu Yifan.

Kris Wu was also shocked.

The greatsword remained largely stationary; he moved his body around it, rotating and shifting until he hid behind it.

The sword's edge struck the greatsword.

when!

The two of them each retreated a short distance.

As Wu Yifan retreated, his steps were somewhat rhythmic, dissipating the force of the fall. He then used the momentum of the giant sword to circle his body and unleash an even stronger strike.

At the same time, the sixth spirit ring shone.

A jet-black ball of light merged into the giant sword, and a pair of metal wings unfolded behind Wu Yifan, lifting his body into the air.

Two flashes of black light appeared on the cyan giant sword, and the sword instantly grew larger again.

The cyan giant sword hovered in the air.

The fourth purple soul ring flashed again, instantly transforming into energy and merging into the greatsword.

A large amount of sword energy was generated and surrounded the giant sword.

Wu Yifan's soul power continued to flow into it, and a large amount of sword energy seemed to generate a sword energy storm similar to that of Su Yu back then.

No, it's a sword energy storm.

However, compared to the large storm that Su Yu created back then, this sword energy storm can only be considered small.

A tornado of sword energy, ten meters in diameter, coiled around the giant sword.

However, compared to Su Yu's sword energy storm, it was still only small-scale.

The Proud Sword Sect was well aware of Su Yu's strength, which is why they sent out Wu Yifan, a heavyweight, to make a move in the first match.

However, the Sun and Moon Royal Team sent Xiao Ping.

However, Xiao Ping, the Soul King, did indeed fight Wu Yifan several times and was not at a disadvantage.

That set of soul-guided armor also caught everyone's eye.

"This is a complete set of level 5 soul tool armor, but even so, it shouldn't have such a large amplification." He Caitou's expression was solemn, feeling that Mingdetang's technology was somewhat unfathomable.

A large amount of sword energy split off from the sword energy storm and stabbed towards Xiao Ping.

Despite the endless river of sword energy, Xiao Ping showed no fear.

His fourth spirit ring flashed, and multiple level-six explosive bullets appeared in his hand.

He threw the explosive grenade, aiming directly at Kris Wu in the air.

Wu Yifan wielded the giant sword, his second spirit ring flashed, and a yellow light merged into the giant sword. Then, a cyan light appeared within the giant sword, firmly enveloping Wu Yifan.

Wu Yifan's body was covered in a blue light, resembling a giant bronze sword.

boom!

The explosive bullets detonated on his body, and the phantom of the bronze greatsword flickered continuously.

Just as the second explosive bullet was about to hit, another light flashed on Wu Yifan's body. It was a level six soul-guided shield that blocked the explosion of the explosive bullet.

Meanwhile, Xiao Ping remained completely calm in the face of the overwhelming sword energy.

Having narrowly escaped Su Yu's attack at Mingde Hall, he had developed a certain immunity to such tactics.

At least, when facing the soul skills of soul masters with sword-type martial souls other than Su Yu, they wouldn't panic.

With his battle armor activated at full power, the soul-guided shield expanded, completely enveloping Xiao Ping. At the same time, a heavy soul-guided armor appeared on his body.

The sword energy, having consumed most of its power, shattered the soul-guiding shield and landed on the armor, but it did not break through the defenses.

The armor was incredibly thick and its defensive capabilities were terrifying.

Xiao Ping activated the thrusters under his feet, leaving the center of the sword energy storm.

Wearing soul-guided armor, he could defend against most of the sword energy, but some sword energy would always manage to pierce his body through the gaps in the armor.

The sword energy storm failed to instantly overwhelm and defeat Xiao Ping. Seeing this from the air, Wu Yifan stopped trying to withstand the remaining explosive bullets.

After the second explosive bomb exploded, Wu Yifan quickly retreated, summoned the cyan greatsword into his hand, and unleashed sword energy to shatter the explosive bomb in the air.

The blast from the exploding bomb disrupted his flight path.

Xiao Ping seized the opportunity, and the thrusters under his feet instantly exploded to their maximum extent. At the same time, the sixth-level soul-guided flying vehicle behind him also propelled him to the limit with a bang.

Xiao Ping quickly approached Wu Yifan. He had lost his soul tool sword while dealing with the sword energy storm, and now his right gauntlet was condensing soul power, forming a sword energy.

He brandished the energy sword formed from sword energy in his hand and slashed at Wu Yifan.

Wu Yifan was shaken by the explosive bomb, and when faced with the sword, he immediately used both hands to block it with the greatsword.

when!

The speed made the attack incredibly powerful, and the immense impact sent Wu Yifan staggering backward.

Xiao Ping pressed his advantage, continuously activating the jets on his back, catching up with Wu Yifan and unleashing another sword strike.

He kept unleashing sword energy.

Xiao Ping, a Soul King, continuously suppressed Wu Yifan, a Soul Emperor.

"So strong!"

This isn't a Soul Master, this is a Soul Spirit Master!

Looking at Xiao Ping's fighting style, even Shrek Academy had to admit that Xiao Ping's fighting style was very orthodox.

"How can he have so much soul power?"

He's just a Soul King. He used a Soul Guidance Armor to boost his Soul Power to the peak of Soul Emperor, but his total Soul Power is still that of a Soul King.

Even if most of the soul skills chosen by a soul master are soul power amplification skills, it shouldn't be this bad, right?

However, the only response to He Caitou's doubts was Wu Yifan's defeat.

Xiao Ping was slightly out of breath.

Although he used six level-six explosive bullets during the process, he fought in the manner of a Soul Master otherwise.

The Soul King suppressed the Soul Emperor.

Moreover, it was a Soul King who had neglected his Soul Master cultivation for more than ten years and whose Soul Power was extremely weak, who defeated a Soul Emperor with an extremely solid Soul Power realm and the ability to fight beyond his level by using the methods of a Soul Master!

The result was beyond everyone's expectations.

When Xiao Ping unleashed his power using his battle armor, some were shocked by the armor's amplification, but no one thought it was anything special.

This amplification exists for soul tools.

However, the armor, made entirely of level-five soul tools, actually allowed the Soul King's soul power to erupt to the peak of the Soul Emperor.

But this surprise was just that—surprise.

What's truly unfathomable is Xiao Ping's subsequent bursts of acceleration from his thrusters and jets in mid-air, along with the powerful sword energy he unleashed.

This is equivalent to a Soul Emperor using their sixth Soul Skill three or four times in a row.

The consumption is naturally enormous.

However, Xiao Ping seemed to be only slightly tired, and had been stabbed by the sword energy, with many sword wounds on his body.

However, his soul power showed no signs of running out.

"It's a problem with the soul-guided armor!"

At this moment, someone recalled Xiao Ping's introduction.

Battle Armor Master.

Is this the name of that soul-guided armor?

Or is this Xiao Ping's nickname at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy?

"Xiao Ping, get down."

Su Yu spoke up, stopping Xiao Ping from continuing the fight.

"It's trendy, you go."

The atmosphere at the Aojian Sect became somewhat somber after Wu Yifan's defeat.

They were strong and had a real chance of making it to the quarterfinals, but they ran into the Sun & Moon Royal team in the knockout stage. I don’t know what to say about their luck.

However, they did not give up immediately.

With Wu Yifan, a Soul Emperor captain, leading the team, along with two members at level 58 and 59 who could unleash Soul Emperor-level combat power, the team thought they could put up a few matches against the Sun Moon Royal Team.

However, it seems that this is not the case now.

The Sun and Moon Royal Team defeated Wu Yifan using the purest form of Soul Master combat.

The Soul King defeated the Soul Emperor, a level above him.

The Proud Sword Sect became a stepping stone.

Following Wu Yifan, the other two members of the Proud Sword Sect, who possessed Soul Emperor-level combat power, took to the field one after another.

"Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Battle Armor Master, Trendy."

"Sword Master of the Proud Sword Sect, Sword Seven."

As Shi Xing also announced his identity as a "Battle Armor Master," some people in the spectators realized that this might not be the title of one person.

Battle Armor Master is likely a newly created profession at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

A Soul Master who develops towards Soul Guidance Devices.

Battle Armor Master seems to be a combat style that relies on the amplification of soul tool armor?

Unlike Xiao Ping's close-combat style, Shi Xing prefers to use the Soul Guidance Cannon, taking advantage of his mobility to continuously fire level 6 high-explosive shells.

Shi Xing easily suppressed this disciple of the Proud Sword Sect, who was also a Soul King and supposedly possessed Soul Emperor-level combat power, and won the victory.

"Shixing, get down."

"Next up, Zhou Xinghao."

"Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Battle Armor Master, Zhou Xinghao."

"Proud Sword Sect, Slaughter a Thousand Blades!"

Killer Thousand Blades' martial spirit is the Bloodthirsty Sword, which exudes a strong killing intent and bloodlust.

Facing the Thousand Blades, Zhou Xinghao transformed into a cannon turret after merging his battle armor.

Since the current trend is that soul power and physical strength are insufficient, it is necessary to rely on agility to dodge damage while using soul-guided cannons.

Zhou Xinghao possesses superhuman strength, enabling him to simultaneously control a large number of soul-guided cannons, transforming him into a turret. The ample firepower suppresses his movement and eliminates the need for him to consider defense.

Xiao Hongchen is also a soul-guided artillery tactic, but compared to Xiao Hongchen, Zhou Xinghao has far fewer tactical units, and its overall power is much weaker.

However, his soul-guided turret is enough to allow him to suppress enemies of the same level.

Not to mention that at this moment, Zhou Xinghao, who is at the peak of the Soul Emperor level, is fighting against Sha Qianren, who is at the Soul King level.

Three minutes later, Zhou Xinghao won.

The three strongest fighters of the Proud Sword Sect, one Soul Emperor and two members with Soul Emperor-level combat power, were defeated one-on-one by the three Soul Kings of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

"Battle Armor Master"!

This new profession has also begun to show its potential in the Soul Fighting Tournament.

I had to go out this afternoon and couldn't update, sorry.
