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

Chapter 188 Trend: There's really not a single drop left! (Please subscribe!!!)

Shi Xing, reminded by Su Yu, became slightly arrogant and looked in the direction of the Flying Swallow Sect.

The meaning in his eyes was obvious, was that all?

Although they knew it was a psychological battle, the Flying Swallow Sect admitted that Fei Hong's defeat, coupled with that look in his eyes, had indeed angered them.

"Feixue, you go!"

A cool and beautiful woman stepped onto the ring.

"The match begins!"

Feixue's martial soul is the Ice Sparrow. After releasing her martial soul, she also has the optimal soul ring ratio of two yellow, two purple, and one black.

At the very start of the match, Feixue's martial spirit possessed her, allowing her to ascend into the air and unleash her spirit skills high above.

The first and third spirit rings flashed.

Numerous ice cones condensed, and a chilling aura surged from them.

The icicle fell rapidly in the direction of Shixing.

Another soul skill that can enhance soul skill attacks.

The ice spikes attack very quickly, arriving in an instant.

With a large area covered by ice spikes, the already hard and sharp ice spikes, combined with their speed, will definitely cause significant damage.

The impacts left tiny craters on the arena, and frost covered the area around the landing point.

Shi Xing felt a sharp pain as his battle armor shield was breached, and two ice spikes landed on his body.

With a large area covered by icicles, even Shih-hsing couldn't completely avoid them.

"Is this an offensive type?"

The soul skill enhanced by the soul skill makes the small ice spike deal massive damage; even the damage caused by the rapid movement is transferred to the ice spike, so the soul master doesn't have to bear it themselves.

It must be said that many reclusive sects have developed their combat modes very well.

The agility-based attack system can actually transform like this.

After enduring a round of ice spike attacks, Shi Xing activated his foot jets, leaped over the frost-covered ground, and attempted to launch five level-5 high-explosive shells as he approached Fei Xue.

Feixue moved nimbly among the high-explosive shells. Her fourth soul ring flashed, and an ice crystal formed on her body, shimmering with light, to protect her from the damage.

Su Yu watched the battle from the preparation area and expressed his approval of the Flying Swallow Sect's various tactics.

Regarding the development of soul skills, apart from not yet being able to fully utilize them, everything else is absolutely in place.

There are also tactics and combat skills.

All of these were perfect displays of their own abilities.

Even the previously mentioned Aojian Sect had to admit that their mastery of swordsmanship was quite impressive.

The fact that two Soul Kings possess Soul Emperor-level combat power, despite being above their level, demonstrates their mastery of swordsmanship.

"I really don't understand why the sect would withdraw from the Soul Fighting Tournament under these circumstances."

The Soul Battle Tournament is designed to help young Soul Masters grow through competition, and having disciples from various sects participate will bring even better results.

On the field, after two rounds of probing, Shi Xing also discovered the differences between the Fei Xue tactics and Fei Hong tactics.

They are all disgusting people.

Fei Hong uses his high mobility to harass Shi Xing, but Fei Xue's main body remains basically still, adapting to any situation. She launches ice spikes and relies on her third soul skill to amplify the speed of the ice spikes, enabling her to quickly strike him across the entire arena.

The ice cone can reach a distance of 200 meters in no more than three seconds.

With such a wide coverage area, it takes three seconds to barely dodge all the ice spike attacks using the booster.

This is what makes Feixue so disgusting.

The key point is that Feixue usually flies in the middle of the arena, which is at most a hundred meters away from Shixing.

When the icicles land, they don't disappear quickly; instead, they leave a layer of frost on the ground, which can interfere with Shixing's landing and momentum. Fortunately, Shixing has always used propulsion devices to minimize this interference.

But this consumes a lot of soul power.

Shi Xing sighed inwardly.

Sure enough, a seven-in-a-row is not so easy.

Even with the boost from his battle armor, he was still so hesitant against a Soul King. He had even greater respect for Su Yu, who, despite being a Soul Master, had defeated seven opponents of higher levels in the previous Soul Battle Tournament.

Su Yu's strength lies in his comprehensive strength, which has no weaknesses or shortcomings, and he can break through any of the enemy's tactics directly.

The three members of Shixing each have a distinct personal style. Once you figure them out and choose targeted tactics, they will have a hard time.

In this situation, it is even more difficult to complete a seven-game winning streak.

But precisely because of this, even with such obvious shortcomings, the enhancement of the battle armor allows them to complete a seven-kill streak, which is a subtle form of promotion for the battle armor.

While unleashing a barrage of area-of-effect attacks, which depleted Shi Xing's energy, Fei Xue herself was also expending energy. After all, she was still flying in the air, and the attackers spared no effort in firing cannonballs at her to deplete her energy. After a series of battles, Fei Xue's condition rapidly declined.

Ultimately, through a war of attrition, Shixing successfully captured Feixue.

After including the soul power extended from the battle armor, Shi Xing felt that his total soul power was only half of what it used to be.

He pretended to be pale and exhausted, while taking out a baby bottle to start recovering.

The third contestant from the Flying Swallow Sect entered the arena. The moment the battle began, Shi Xing's soul power had recovered to about two-thirds.

But one battle had taken away a third of his strength.

With only a third of his soul power left, Shi Xing no longer needed to pretend; his face was truly pale.

The Flying Swallow Sect's strategy was actually to wear them down.

He hurried to refine the soul power in the milk bottle as quickly as possible to restore his soul power to half its original level before the fourth person from the Flying Swallow Sect took the stage, which made him feel a little more at ease.

"This Flying Swallow Sect is really troublesome."

They originally thought that their side had chosen him to fight based on the Flying Swallow Sect's agility-based attack characteristics, which would make things easier. However, they did not expect that the Flying Swallow Sect would also devise tactics to target him.

"Flying Swallow Sect, Lightning Flash."

"The match begins!"

Compared to Feixue, Leishan is more like a powerful offensive Soul Master in the Flying Swallow Sect team this time.

He didn't even rely too much on the agility-based attack characteristics at the beginning, and successively used his first and third soul skills to amplify his own status, with lightning surrounding his entire body.

The speed increased, but Lei Shan did not charge.

Shi Xing, whose combat style was unpredictable, launched two rounds of ten level-four high-explosive shells while retreating, taking advantage of the 100-meter distance between the two sides at the start of the match.

Now, he also has to conserve his soul power.

The distinctive feature of Lei Shan lies in his movement techniques.

Like lightning, he constantly changed direction on his way forward without affecting his speed, dodging all the high-explosive shells. His fourth spirit ring flashed, and in an instant, he burst forth to Shi Xing's side.

This battle will be the one to end this trend.

A one-against-three defeat is already shameful enough; the Flying Swallow Sect cannot afford to be defeated by a one-against-four defeat.

Even if the opponent can be considered a peak Soul Emperor, they are only four Soul Kings, so it's still not enough.

After all, they had already pushed themselves to the limit with tactics like attrition warfare and war of attrition.

Shi Xing initially retreated more than 20 meters. He was originally only 50 meters away from the edge of the ring, but now he was less than 30 meters away from the edge.

At this distance, with enough explosive power, it is entirely possible to shoot it down!

Lightning Flash's fifth spirit ring flickered.

"Thunder Demon Invincible Body!"

Speed ​​attack instantly enhances physical constitution.

Lei Shanzou is also an agility-based attacker, but it is a different kind of agility-based attacker with a strong offensive characteristic. While being powerful in attack and able to fight head-on, it also takes agility into account.

He emphasizes agility in his attacks.

With an instantaneous burst of speed and a significant increase in physical attack power, Lei Shan's attack at this moment was consistent with Fei Hong's initial tactics.

By trading speed for attack, coupled with his already strong attack and the power of lightning, this collision definitely has a chance to knock Shi Xing off the stage.

However, Shi Xing activated his foot thrusters and dodged to the side.

Lei Shan sneered, and like lightning, he made two consecutive turns. His direction and speed of advance remained unchanged, but he shifted his trajectory to the same direction as Shi Xing, and his target was still Shi Xing.

Seeing this, Shi Xing activated the thrusters under his feet, and a flying machine appeared behind him, propelling him into the air.

He had not flown during this battle.

The main reason is that the soul masters of the Flying Swallow Sect all possess flying-type martial souls, so it would be of little significance if they were to fly into the air as well.

This could even lead to a waste of more soul power.

After all, moving on a flat arena consumes different amounts of energy than moving through the entire space in the air. Maintaining a high-intensity jet propulsion system at all times is not cost-effective.

Lightning, however, used the same method.

Like lightning, it twisted twice, took off again, and still crashed into the fashion world.

Shixing was speechless.

This lightning bolt is really troublesome.

In the blink of an eye, the two had changed direction twice, and there was no time to dodge.

Shi Xing sighed.

It was originally intended as a trump card.

As the spirit power of the moment bursts forth, the jet-powered devices within each component of the battle armor become apparent.

With jet propulsion devices all over his body, his body seemed to be controlled by the battle armor, instantly completing various high-difficulty movements.

Of course, my teamwork was also excellent.

It's clear that he has done a very good job training this ability.

Lightning's strike landed on Shixing.

However, due to the jet propulsion device on Shi Xing's body, he did not fly in a straight line backwards, but instead changed his direction to the side.

During the inverted flight, he constantly adjusted his direction and eventually landed on the ring.

After landing, Shi Xing took out two small milk bottles from his storage soul tool and inserted them directly into the battle armor belt around his waist.

Automatically replenishes Soul Power.

Of course, it's much slower than having a Soul Master control it independently, but in battle, it's no less effective than a Soul Skill that helps restore Soul Power.

Among Xiao Ping and the other two, Shi Xing's system is the most diverse and his thinking is more active. While the design of his battle armor is mostly used to enhance agility, he cannot abandon the support for endurance.

After all, Soul Masters are really afraid of running out of energy.

"Oh no, they can actually do that!"

Lei Shan hadn't expected that the battle armor would have this ability.

He had even envisioned a scenario where Shi Xing would absorb the milk bottle while fighting, but that would definitely affect Shi Xing's performance. In that case, as long as he could unleash his own fighting abilities, it wouldn't be impossible for him to eliminate Shi Xing, whose hands were restricted by the milk bottle.

However, no one expected that the battle armor would solve this problem perfectly.

The audience gasped in surprise.

Shi Xing activated his foot thrusters and retreated towards the center of the arena.

Having witnessed Lei Shan's explosive power and agility, Shi Xing dared not approach the edge of the arena carelessly.

Otherwise, one mistake could really send him off the ring.

The two sides fought for three rounds.

It's fashionable to replace the baby bottle in your belt.

Although soul power continued to decrease during the battle, the speed was obviously much slower.

The match between the two sides has once again turned into a war of attrition.

"Huff, huff."

Dressed in a puff of breath, Shi Xing looked at Lei Shan lying on the ground and turned to remind the referee, "Shouldn't I have won?"

"Sun & Moon Royal Team, victorious!"

Four in a row.

Shixing achieved a four-in-a-row victory through attrition warfare.

Such endurance is simply outrageous. Crucially, the primary characteristic of his battle armor isn't endurance, but agility.

Below the stage, Zhou Xinghao looked at Shi Xing, appearing thoughtful.

"Great idea! Why didn't I think of that?"

Since it is a heavy artillery piece, it doesn't need much agility, so the belt can absorb more milk bottles at the same time, and its size can also be larger.

Perhaps, the efficiency of my battle armor's passive soul power recovery can be improved again.

Doubling it is hard to say, but increasing it by half seems to be no problem.

"The Flying Swallow Sect sends its next contestant to the stage."

The fifth contestant from the Flying Swallow Sect was a petite woman. Looking at Shi Xing's appearance, she frowned and asked, "Are you sure you want to continue?"

Although he quickly absorbed the soul power from the milk bottle during the break, and his battle armor passively absorbed the soul power from the milk bottle, he recovered one-third of his soul power. However, his physical strength was greatly depleted in the previous battle against Lei Shan.

"Dealing with you is more than enough," Shi Xing said.

The petite girl felt offended.

"Arrogant!"

He was already hostile towards his opponent because the opponent had already won four consecutive matches, but he was only trying to persuade him to step down because of his spirit, so as not to lose badly.

Xueyu snorted coldly and immediately released her martial spirit.

Ice Bird Martial Soul.

Most importantly, her soul power fluctuations were even stronger than the previous lightning flash. Although she still had five soul rings—two yellow, two purple, and one black—it was estimated that she had reached the level of a high-level Soul King.

If this is used up again...

Shi Xing felt like he was being drained dry by the Flying Swallow Sect.

offstage.

Su Yu felt a little sorry for Shi Xing when he saw his condition.

He hadn't expected the Flying Swallow Sect to engage in three wars of attrition.

However, given Shixing's abilities, he should be able to hold out for seven games in a row.

The process might be a bit painful.

The script originally called for acting, but now there's no need to act at all.

Fashion is truly being squeezed dry.

"How pitiful," Xiao Ping sighed unconsciously.

Su Yu glanced at Xiao Ping, his expression surprised.

What are you sighing about?

Your battery life is even worse than Shixing's.

Under Su Yu's gaze, Xiao Ping realized the problem and his heart skipped a beat.

Q: What is the most difficult part of playing a string of seven?

In the past, Su Yu might have answered that it was hard power.

But after this battle, he realized that the most difficult part of winning seven consecutive matches was maintaining the momentum.

If you have overwhelming strength, your opponent will surrender early. If you don't have overwhelming strength and can't kill them with one blow, then endurance becomes especially important.

Su Yu didn't need to consider this at all at the time.

Xiao Ping fell into deep thought at this moment.

Is it too late to modify the battle armor now?

It seems too late.

Ten minutes later.

Fashion has been worn down again, and looks weak.

His soul power was completely depleted.

"There really isn't a single drop left!"
