Douluo Dalu II: The Peerless Tang Sect

Chapter 362 The Heavenly Armor Sect is devastated!

Most of the participating teams were somewhat surprised by Jiang Nannan's ability to knock out a Soul King with a single punch, but they didn't think much of it. After all, as a disciple of Shrek Academy, Jiang Nannan's strength was consistent with their understanding of Shrek Academy—powerful, but not ridiculously so.

However, as subsequent events unfolded, these participating teams and the important figures of the Sun Moon Empire realized that they were wrong, terribly wrong.

When Jiang Nannan knocked out the second contestant from the Heavenly Armor Sect, also a defensive-type Soul King, with just one punch, Xu Tianran on the platform was extremely curious about Jiang Nannan. He turned to the middle-aged man in black robes beside him and asked, "Grand Preceptor, how is this contestant from Shrek Academy?"

"Heh," the black-robed imperial advisor chuckled coldly, "Your Highness, to be honest, this woman's potential is pretty much what it is. I thought Shrek Academy was so powerful, but it turns out they're nothing special. They've even brought out the long-outdated Limit Flow Soul Master technique, heh!"

"A Limitless Flow Soul Master?" Xu Tianran's heart skipped a beat. As the Crown Prince of the Sun Moon Empire, his knowledge naturally allowed him to be unaware of Limitless Flow Soul Masters. However, a doubt arose in his heart: was this Jiang Nannan really a Soul Master who followed the Limitless Flow path? He felt it was unlikely, so he tilted his head and said to Ju Zi, "Ju Zi, I need all the information about this Jiang Nannan."

"Yes!" Orange nodded and immediately made the arrangements.

On the arena, the third contestant from the Heavenly Armor Sect, like the previous two, was a defensive Soul King, whose Martial Soul was also the Heavenly Armor Shield. Perhaps learning from the lessons of his predecessors, this contestant immediately used all his Soul Skills as soon as he stepped onto the stage. The Heavenly Armor Shield in his hand instantly grew larger, heavier, and thicker, blocking his way like an indestructible fortress.

Faced with this situation, Jiang Nannan showed no caution whatsoever. As the saying goes, in martial arts, nothing is invincible except speed. When speed reaches a certain level, even the strongest fortress is just a paper tiger. Therefore, Jiang Nannan's punch was still simple and unadorned, but the speed was much faster than the previous two, so fast that it was impossible to catch her figure.

The black-robed Grand Preceptor and Jing Hongchen on the platform simultaneously revealed expressions of surprise and doubt, because Jiang Nannan's speed had exceeded their expectations. They had assessed Jiang Nannan as a Soul Saint, but her speed far surpassed that of a normal Soul Saint. Even a typical agility-type Soul Saint could only achieve such speed in their Martial Soul True Body state. Yet this woman on the platform could do this with just a human body. Could this be the ultimate Soul Master?

Neither the Black-Robed National Preceptor nor Jing Hongchen had ever truly seen a Limit Flow Soul Master, because it was now very difficult to find a pure Limit Flow Soul Master on the Douluo Continent. Therefore, they could not determine whether Jiang Nannan's performance was an individual talent or a common trait of Limit Flow Soul Masters.

Returning our gaze to the arena, Jiang Nannan, using supersonic speed, landed a punch on the massive Heavenly Armor Shield. After a loud "thud," the Heavenly Armor Shield immediately flew backward uncontrollably. The Heavenly Armor Sect contestant behind the shield was instantly stunned by the force transmitted through the shield, flying out and following in the footsteps of the first two.

Jiang Nannan stood still, her smile still sweet, but her hands were trembling slightly. She sighed inwardly. Sure enough, her hands were struggling to withstand the strain of sonic speed. She shouldn't have pushed herself.

As the possessor of the Taiyin Jade Rabbit Martial Soul, Jiang Nannan's physical strength far surpasses that of ordinary agility-type Soul Saints. After all, only a sufficiently resilient body can withstand the excessive wear and tear caused by extreme speed. Undoubtedly, Jiang Nannan's body is flexible enough to withstand the terrifying pressure brought by three times the speed of sound. However, just as she herself thought, her strongest part is not her hands, but her legs.

Jiang Nannan's hands could barely withstand the pressure of sound speed, while her legs and feet could easily withstand three times the speed of sound. At the same time, the strength and explosiveness of her legs were far greater than that of her hands. If she had used her feet instead of her hands, then perhaps the Tianjia Sect would have lost three successors.

The leader of the Tianjia Sect, who had suffered three consecutive defeats, was now completely dumbfounded. The women from Shrek Academy were far too strong. None of his disciples could withstand a single blow; three of them had been knocked down with a single punch. Damn it, this was too humiliating! Anyone who didn't know better would think that the Tianjia Sect was a support-type sect!

However, despite his immense resentment, he was powerless to do anything, because the other person hadn't even used their martial soul yet. All he knew was that Jiang Nannan was an agility-type soul master; he knew nothing else. They hadn't even managed to force out her soul rings. It was too embarrassing, and he vowed never to come to the next competition.

With this somewhat dismissive attitude in mind, the leader of the Heavenly Armor Sect said, "Chen Cong, you're next!"

"Yes, leader!" The Tianjia Sect disciple he called out was also a young man, but his expression was as ugly as if he had lost his parents. He was just a Soul King, and he had already foreseen his fate after going up, but he had to obey the leader's orders.

Thus, Chen Cong, the fourth contestant from the Heavenly Armor Sect, walked onto the arena with a pessimistic expression. As soon as he stepped onto the stage, he begged for mercy, saying, "Sister, could you please be a little gentler?"

Jiang Nannan couldn't help but laugh out loud, her sweet voice instantly captivating Chen Cong. Seeing Chen Cong staring blankly at her, Jiang Nannan didn't stop her attack. On the contrary, she didn't even pay attention to Chen Cong's pleas for mercy, and directly changed her fist into a foot, kicking Chen Cong flying away.

Chen Cong finally regained consciousness in mid-air, but it was too late. He only knew that he had been kicked by this beautiful woman, and then he knew nothing more.

The leader of the Tianjia Sect couldn't bear to watch any longer. He gritted his teeth in hatred. Damn it, this kid is even more shameful than the previous three. At least the previous three summoned their martial souls, but this kid didn't even summon his martial soul and was blinded by someone else. When we get back, we must teach this kid a lesson!

When Jiang Nannan won the fourth game, Xu Tianran on the podium finally obtained information about Jiang Nannan.

"Your Highness, this is all the information we could find about Jiang Nannan." Ju Zi handed Xu Tianran a sheet of paper containing information about Jiang Nannan; it was only one page long.

Xu Tianran took the document and quickly scanned it, gaining some understanding of Jiang Nannan's situation. He read aloud, "Jiang Nannan, from Anyang City, Heavenly Soul Empire, twenty years old... She participated in the Star Luo City Soul Master Competition and won the title of Moon Goddess Princess... Her current strength is unknown, but she is at least a Soul Saint... Is that all?"

Xu Tianran's last words were addressed to Ju Zi. Ju Zi lowered her head and said, "Because Jiang Nannan is an inner disciple of Shrek Academy, our arrangements for Shrek Academy are insufficient, so..."

"Oh!" Xu Tianran said, but it sent a chill down Ju Zi's spine, and she began to pray for certain people.

"Such a beautiful and powerful woman, it's a pity she's not a member of my Sun Moon Empire," Xu Tianran sighed and murmured.

The match on the arena was nearing its end. The fifth and last Soul King of the Heavenly Armor Sect fell at Jiang Nannan's feet. The leader of the Heavenly Armor Sect had no intention of struggling any further and directly announced his defeat.

Even a Soul King couldn't do anything to this Shrek Academy girl, so what could the remaining two Soul Masters do? Rather than letting her defeat seven opponents in one go, it would be better to admit defeat themselves. That way, they could retain some dignity and avoid being nailed to the pillar of shame in the competition. The first team to be defeated seven times in one go must not be their Heavenly Armor Sect!

Tianjia Sect conceded defeat, and Shrek Academy successfully advanced to the group stage.

Even though the audience members were all citizens of the Sun Moon Empire, they couldn't help but cheer for Jiang Nannan. Although she didn't defeat seven opponents in one go, defeating five was already very exciting. More importantly, she was a stunning beauty, and she deserved their cheers.

The atmosphere was very tense between the teams that had already advanced and those that hadn't. Everyone thought that Shrek Academy's display of one Soul Emperor and three Soul Kings was strong enough, but they didn't expect them to have such a powerful contestant. Judging from her performance throughout the match, this woman was definitely a Soul Saint, or even a high-level Soul Saint. This was a real headache!

"Brother, how was it? Was my performance alright?" Jiang Nannan hugged Zhu Ziyang's arm as soon as she stepped off the stage, and said sweetly.

"Your movements were clean and efficient, very good!" Zhu Ziyang smiled and pinched Jiang Nannan's delicate nose, praising her.
