Douluo: The Glory of the Peerless Angel

Chapter 115 The Four Apertures of the Heart, One Glance Determines the Fate (4K)

A layer of light emerged from Ning Tian's body. The golden leaf, enhanced by Ye Wuqing's soul power, resembled a sharp knife, but it was deflected by the soft yet resilient white light.

Members of the various teams from the original Douluo Three Kingdoms and the audience subconsciously rubbed their eyes. What was that light shield? It could actually help a Soul Master resist an attack from a Soul King whose Soul Power exceeded their own by twenty levels!

"A level seven soul-guided shield?"

"It seems to be a rechargeable type!"

The soul masters of the Sun Moon Empire instantly recognized Ning Tian's level seven charged soul guide shield, and their expressions changed drastically. Shrek Academy has always been averse to soul guides, and the soul masters among the regular team members are usually just there for show. When did they get equipped with such a high-level soul guide?

"That shouldn't be the case. I haven't heard that Shrek Academy has changed its attitude towards soul tools; they've always been extremely vigilant..."

Old Ma frowned, stood up and paced around the rest area. Mingde Hall believed that the combination of Soul Masters and Soul Instructors was the future development direction of Douluo Continent, so it cultivated the Hongchen siblings and contacted Shrek Academy several times in the hope of carrying out exchange student activities.

Has Shrek's pig brain suddenly become enlightened?

Old Ma was completely baffled until he noticed the seven-colored glazed pagoda in Ning Tian's hand. His eyes lit up, and he clenched his left fist and tapped his right palm, suddenly realizing, "She is a direct descendant of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, so it's not surprising."

The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School has a history of ten thousand years and is the only top-tier power in the Douluo Continent that can rival the Mingde Hall in wealth. The World Warehouse is known as the richest in the world, and it is not outrageous for them to bring out any kind of outrageous treasures.

A level seven charged soul-guiding shield? A piece of cake!

"Grandpa, don't worry, the level seven shield isn't a problem. We brought an even more advanced soul tool," Ma Rulong said in a low voice as he walked over.

Old Ma sat back down, rubbing his stubble-covered chin as he pondered, "But that soul tool is probably not enough to defeat the six-winged angel, and it might even be countered by the six-winged angel."

Shrek Academy has already exposed their true nature of being all bark and no bite. This year is our golden opportunity to compete for the championship. I'll write a letter and send it to Mingde Hall, requesting that the hall master provide a few more high-level soul tools!

"Grandpa was wise!"

On the competition stage, seeing his proud Golden Leaf being intercepted, Ye Wuqing froze for a second, followed by feelings of shame and anger. A genius with such pride could not accept being defeated by someone weak. In his opinion, a three-ring support-type Soul Master could not withstand even one of his attacks!

"bite--"

The golden leaf that had bounced back earlier landed with a crisp sound. Ye Wuqing's first and third soul rings flashed simultaneously, and the golden leaf floated up again. Its original golden color suddenly turned into a crimson gold, splitting into dozens of golden leaves that formed a golden net in the air.

The first soul skill of Golden Leaf, Leaf Blade, and the third soul skill, Leaf Array, are Ye Wuqing's signature combination of soul skills. He used the sharpness of Golden Leaf to defeat countless opponents. The Golden Leaf Blade Array crashed into the pure white level seven shield, and a violent explosion rang out. Golden Leaf turned into a ball of crimson-gold flames that scattered in all directions.

The flames slowly dissipated, revealing Ning Tian's slender figure and his cold, azure eyes. The level seven charged soul guide shield was a gift he received from Xian Lin'er when he became her disciple. It was exquisitely crafted and powerful, and at this moment it remained unmoved and as stable as Mount Tai. In her hands, she had two more soul guides.

Even the strongest soul-guided shield is still just a shield, only able to protect Ning Tian. Blood Wolf's eyes darted around, and taking advantage of Ye Wuqing's fierce attack, he bypassed Ning Tian and attacked He Caitou, who was unable to resist while charging up his power.

Blood Wolf's third spirit ring shone brightly, as if bursts of wolf howls suddenly rose up, the strength of his muscles and bones surged, and his fur changed from silver-gray to blood red.

His third soul skill, Blood Wolf Transformation, is a fully amplified soul skill. His development direction is similar to that of White Tiger Dai Yueheng, with his soul skill choices leaning towards physical amplification. In battle, he relies on close combat to suppress the enemy.

"Bang—"

A shield glowing with colorful light appeared without warning not far in front of He Caitou. Just when Blood Wolf thought he could easily get past Ning Tian and deal with He Caitou, the shield, as tall as a person, seemed to have eyes and blocked Blood Wolf's attack path in advance.

Level 3 defensive soul guide device, Rainbow Light Shield!

The sharp claws tore through the iridescent shield with a piercing tearing sound, sparks flew as they clung to the shield, and the wolf's claws carved a deep furrow. Immediately afterward, the iridescent shield burst forth with a dazzling nine-colored light. The blood wolf howled in agony, its attack faltering, and it rolled on the ground, clutching its eyes.

Blood Wolf was hit head-on by the Rainbow Shield's skill, Dazzling Light, and was temporarily blinded, unable to interfere with He Caitou's Super Energy Soul Guidance Cannon charging up.

"Such accurate judgment!"

"That girl is extremely talented!"

The students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy looked at Ning Tian with some surprise. They judged a Soul Master's level based on two things: the creation of Soul Tools and the use of Soul Tools.

This level-three soul tool, the Rainbow Light Shield, bears a strong resemblance to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, clearly Ning Tian's personal creation. The Shrek Academy roster, acquired through his financial power, includes bone age test results; a twelve-year-old level-three soul master is a top genius even in the Sun Moon Empire. Furthermore, Ning Tian simultaneously used the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to assist He Caitou and intercept Ye Wuqing while controlling the Rainbow Light Shield to block the Blood Wolves. This extraordinary ability to multitask is the envy of all soul masters.

"Ning Tian has mastered the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School's secret technique, Distraction Control, to the point of mastering the Three Apertures of the Heart!"

In the Shrek Academy rest area, seeing Ning Tian's amazing performance of taking on two opponents single-handedly, Wang Yan couldn't help but clench his fists in excitement.

"No, this is the heart of the four orifices."

Ling Bai corrected the mistake. Compared to the Wang Yan he had learned from books, he was much clearer about the limits of the Three Apertures Control Heart.

Starting from becoming a Soul Master, for every major breakthrough the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda makes, the Soul Master's ability to control distractions must keep up with the number of Soul Rings.

Ning Tian had reached the Three Apertures Heart Realm a long time ago. In addition, he had been multitasking for a year, inscribing the core magic array and making soul guides. As a result, he advanced to the Four Apertures Heart Realm ahead of schedule.

As expected, Ning Tian's second soul tool began to take effect. With his mind focused on four things at once, the violent level-three soul-guided explosive cannon suddenly unleashed its firepower on Ye Wuqing.

Ye Wuqing's face turned black with anger, and it felt like he had a huge, pitch-black pot lid on his neck. The Level 3 Explosive Cannon didn't threaten the Soul King's life, but it was disgusting!

The level seven soul guide shield is rechargeable, and the user does not need to inject additional soul power before the energy is exhausted. If Ye Wuqing wants to wear down the soul power inside, he must attack with all his might. Ning Tian used the level three explosive cannon to distract him, forcing him to attack while blocking the cannon. The dignified Soul King was so frustrated that he almost vomited blood.

"Damn it, which bastard invented this soul tool?!" Ye Wuqing gritted his teeth.

Everyone knows that Shrek Academy rejects the Soul Guidance Department, but Zheng Tian Academy rejects Soul Guidance Devices even more. At least Shrek has a Soul Guidance Department, while Zheng Tian remains a pure Soul Master Academy to this day.

Ye Wuqing, as the ace of the Heavenly King, already hated soul tools. Now, he detested them even more and secretly vowed that one day when he reached the peak, he would eradicate soul tools!

Time passed slowly and imperceptibly. The super-energy-concentrating soul-guided cannon on He Caitou's shoulder gradually completed its charging, its intense white-hot light poised to erupt at any moment. Ye Wuqing, feeling threatened by that force, roared:

"Blood Wolf, you piece of trash, destroy that cannon right now!"

"Boss, I can't see!"

Blood Wolf rolled around on the ground, and what was absurd was that the colorful light shield kept emitting light in the direction it rolled, making Blood Wolf's vision a chaotic mess of colorful lights. It couldn't even distinguish east from west, north from south, and couldn't find He Caitou at all.

"You're a wolf, use your nose!"

Ye Wuqing was so angry that he jumped up and down. Why did he have such a stupid teammate!

"That's right!"

Blood Wolf scrambled to his feet, his nostrils twitching slightly. The fragrant scent belonged to Ning Tian, ​​the familiar scent to Ye Wuqing, and by the great process of elimination, the person covered in sweat and stench was He Caitou!

"Hey hey hey, here I come!"

The fourth soul ring of the millennium shone brightly, and a pair of wolf claws drew a blood-red fork-shaped light blade that cleaved away the colorful light shield. The blood wolf pounced on He Caitou like a bolt of lightning.

With the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Level 7 Soul Guidance Shield, Rainbow Light Shield, and Explosive Cannon, He Caitou knew that Ning Tian, ​​who was multitasking, had reached his limit. This junior sister had bought him enough time. He desperately sucked on the cigar in his mouth, squeezing out every drop of soul power from his body. Three seconds later, the cigar turned into ashes and scattered under his frantic sucking, and a layer of fine blood beads seeped from the surface of his skin!

A magnificent white light appeared on the arena, and an overwhelming destructive aura permeated the entire arena. As if sensing this, the 108 Soul Masters activated their Soul Power with all their might to maintain the protective shield. At the moment the Super Energy Soul Guidance Cannon was fired, a cross symbol was marked on Ye Wuqing's chest.

locking.

The Super-Energy Soul Guidance Cannon is a locked version modified by He Caitou. The original version was a war machine, with power comparable to a level seven soul tool; just fire it into a crowd and you're done. To adapt it for the Soul Master Competition, He Caitou weakened some of its power so he could barely withstand the side effects of firing, but he added a locking core array, leaving Ye Wuqing with no way to avoid it!

After the white beam of light shot out from the super-energy cannon, space seemed to twist eerily for a moment, and the scene outside appeared to suddenly become blurry, as if covered with a layer of hazy white light.

Those on the field who felt the power of the Super Energy Soul Guided Cannon up close, whether it was Ye Wuqing Blood Wolf or the referee at the level of a seven-ring Soul Saint, all had a sense of déjà vu as if space itself were shattering.

The first burly man to enjoy the super-energy soul-guided cannon was not Ye Wuqing, but Blood Wolf, who bravely charged in front of He Caitou. Although his eyes were tightly closed, a white light suddenly appeared in the colorful world.

A white beam of light shot out, and the wolf's fur instantly emitted a burnt smell. A look of fear and despair appeared on Blood Wolf's face. Just before he was about to be devoured by the Super Energy Soul Guidance Cannon, the referee intervened and saved him, which was equivalent to ruling that Blood Wolf was out of the two-on-two battle.

Faced with the terrifyingly powerful soul tool, Ye Wuqing finally lit up his last black fifth soul ring. His aura changed abruptly. He raised his hands, palms facing the sky, with golden light shining in the air. Fine golden light points floated around his body, forming a golden light curtain.

The golden light spot rapidly grew larger, transforming into countless smaller golden leaves. These golden leaves spun rapidly around Ye Wuqing's body, each leaf carrying the sharp cutting power of a golden leaf, resembling a golden storm of shimmering light!

Fifth Soul Skill: Dance of Golden Leaves!

Different colors of light burst forth from both ends: one side was the incandescent color of the Super Energy Soul Guidance Cannon, and the other side was the gold of the Dance of Golden Leaves.

The arena, built at great expense by the Star Luo Empire, suffered extensive damage from the collision of two terrifying forces. The deafening sound could be heard even by spectators outside Star Luo Square.

As the smoke gradually dissipated, the strong wind created ripples, and everyone eagerly looked towards the center of the arena. At this moment, they completely ignored the difference in cultivation levels between the two teams and only wanted to see who would win as soon as possible.

"thump--"

He Caitou's tall figure fell to the ground. The Super Energy Soul Guidance Cannon had absorbed all of his soul power in one strike, leaving him with not even a trace to resist the aftershocks of the explosion. His spirit and soul power were both exhausted, and he was injured by the aftershocks. He struggled for a couple of moments on the ground before fainting.

"Cough! Cough!"

Ning Tian brushed away the white mist in front of him and found that she was unharmed. The audience immediately erupted in a thunderous roar.

Although the extremely destructive attack was unleashed by He Caitou, it was clear to anyone with eyes that Ning Tian was the greatest contributor. The three-ring Soul Master managed to hold off Soul King Ye Wuqing and Soul Sect Blood Wolf, buying He Caitou time to deliver the decisive blow.

"We won!?"

On Shrek's side, Wang Yan was incredulous. "Who in the family understands this? They played the Tian Ji horse racing game for so long, and the inferior horse just beat the superior horse in an instant!"

"Where is Ye Wuqing?"

Beibei suddenly asked.

"Yeah, where did Ye Wuqing go!"

Only then did everyone realize what had happened and frantically searched for Ye Wuqing's figure, their gazes fixed on the center of the explosion.

It was a huge fan-shaped area of ​​destruction, nearly forty meters wide at its widest point, with large patches of cracks on the ground, a horrific sight.

A charred figure slowly rose to its feet, and the Shrek members' pupils involuntarily dilated.

The charred figure was none other than Ye Wuqing. He shook his left hand expressionlessly, revealing numerous leaf-like veins on it.

Golden Leaf's fourth soul skill: Golden Left Hand!

Golden Left Hand is a soul skill similar to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex's dragon transformation. It is exceptionally hard and powerful. Golden Leaf Dance consumed most of the power of the Super Energy Soul Guidance Cannon. Ye Wuqing was able to hold on by relying on Golden Left Hand, paying the price of 80% of his soul power. His remaining strength is less than one-tenth of his peak strength.

"What's your name?"

Ye Wuqing held Ning Tian in the highest esteem. Previously, he only cared about Ling Bai. He said, "You are the first Soul Master to push me to the brink of despair. Even a three-ring, six-winged angel couldn't have done better than you."

To withstand the aftershocks of the explosion, your soul shield has run out of energy. After unleashing multiple soul skills and manipulating the soul tool, you probably don't have much soul power left.

The level-three soul-guided cannon is useless to me. The outcome is already decided. You may step down.

Ye Wuqing stepped to a point five meters in front of Ning Tian, ​​his golden left hand pointing towards the audience.

"I have just enough soul power left for one more skill."

Ning Tian smiled brightly, his azure eyes instantly turning into lifeless gray-white vertical pupils, and the phantom of Medusa, the Queen of the Serpents, rose behind him.

"I'll remember, my name is Ning Tian."

The Soul Bone Skill of the Eternal Medusa Head: Medusa's Gaze!

"Click, click, click!"

As he turned to stone, Ye Wuqing's expression shifted from calm to astonishment.

One glance is all it takes to determine the fate of the world!

"Shrek Academy wins the second match! The 2-2-3 formation is best-of-three, therefore the third match is unnecessary. Shrek Academy wins the second round of the round-robin tournament!"

Upon hearing the referee loudly announce the result of the match, Ning Tian's delicate body, which had been holding on tightly, couldn't help but sway. She then fell into a warm embrace, and a familiar, clear voice rang in her ears.

"Sorry, I underestimated you before."

"snort!"
