Douluo: The Glory of the Peerless Angel

"Yes, Captain!"

The four level-five soul masters agreed in unison. They were death warriors selected by the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. Their mission was to provide nourishment for the Spear of Death. The ferocious spiders behind them greedily absorbed the blood and soul power. Despite the intense pain in their bodies, their faces were filled with extremely excited smiles!

The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy has been suppressed by Shrek Academy for too long. This year is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Breaking Shrek Academy's ten-thousand-year glory with one's own hands is a fatal temptation for every member of the Sun Moon Empire. It is the glory of having a separate page in the family tree!

Ling Bai's level eight soul guide shield was indeed unexpected. The Sun and Moon Team immediately changed tactics, abandoning their attack on the well-prepared Ling Bai. Of the seven death spears, six were locked onto the rest of the Shrek Academy members. Apart from the level five soul guide who threw the spears at the beginning, the other three roared, and the six death spears tore through the air, striking their respective targets with a piercing shriek.

The spear of death, carrying the aura of death, enveloped the Shrek Seven Devils. Faced with the level-eight soul tool that was the main attacking weapon, they couldn't help but show expressions of fear.

"roar--"

A deep, hoarse phoenix cry suddenly rang out, and Ma Xiaotao's pink eyes instantly turned dark red. A sinister dark red flame rose up, unleashing the Phoenix Evil Fire without reservation.

In the past, whether in cultivation or in battle, Ma Xiaotao had to devote some of her energy to suppressing the Phoenix Evil Flame to prevent it from consuming her reason. It wasn't until Ling Bai used the Holy Purification to help her unleash the Phoenix Flame to her full potential within a year that she was able to do so. Now that her life was threatened, she couldn't care less about anything else. The Phoenix Evil Flame was the true form of the Evil Phoenix!

The sixth spirit ring shone brightly, and dark red fire meteors, several times larger than before, rained down from the sky. The arena was filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder and sulfur as the Phoenix Meteor Shower bombarded the spear of death!

"Nannan!"

Upon discovering that Jiang Nannan was in danger, Xu Sanshi immediately activated the Xuanwu bloodline of the divine beast. A large, dark green snake crawled out from the heavy Xuanming tortoise shell shield, its eyes as red and lustrous as rubies.

He rushed towards Jiang Nannan without regard for anything else, and his four spirit rings, yellow, yellow and purple, lit up at the same time. The Xuanwu Shield, after the evolution of his martial spirit, burst out with a strong dark green light!

Ling Luochen recovered from his initial shock, pointed his ice staff forward, and layer upon layer of extreme ice formed a shield wall, which seemed to be as solid as a rock.

Ning Tian unleashed a level seven charged soul guide shield, instantly completing the fusion ring. Two beams of gray-white light shot out from his eyes, unleashing the ten-thousand-year soul bone skill, Medusa's Gaze!

"No...you guys...huh?"

Huo Yuhao looked left and right and was completely dumbfounded. Good heavens, you all have trump cards. What am I supposed to do?

"Brother Tianmeng, save me!"

The spear of death was upon him in an instant, and he couldn't help but shout in his heart.

A dazzling golden light shone from the sky, illuminating seven golden points of light in the sky. These points then extended into brilliant golden pillars of light, connecting one after another. In an instant, a golden Big Dipper constellation took shape high in the sky!

"Ding, ding, ding!"

The seven different tones of the striking sounded like the chimes of a church bell. At each node of the Seven Star Array, golden star arrays emerged. The great array stood in the sky above Ning Tian, ​​turning slowly like the gears of fate!

Third Soul Skill: Divine Heart!

The realm of the innate, the realm of the angels!

Radiant Spirit Array - Holy Guard!

The Spear of Death is an eighth-level soul tool made from the spider spear of the fifty-thousand-year-old Death Spider King, with various rare metals and a core magic array added. It can pierce through an eighth-level soul tool shield with a single strike. It is far beyond what Medusa's Gaze and a seventh-level soul tool shield can withstand. The Holy Defense under the amplification of Angel Domain and Divine Heart is Ling Bai's strongest defensive soul skill. He can only save one person, and that person must be Ning Tian!

"Boom, boom, boom—"

Six loud bangs rang out in succession, terrifying sound waves echoing throughout the entire arena. Clusters of purplish-black mushroom clouds rose up, and everyone in Star Luo Square stared wide-eyed, waiting for the smoke to dissipate and Shrek Academy's fate to be decided.

"Cough...cough..."

Ma Xiaotao knelt on one knee, her dark red flame wings nearly broken in half. With her level 68 soul power and the unsealed Phoenix Evil Flame, her Phoenix Meteor Shower was comparable to a Soul Saint's full-force attack, consuming most of the Death Spear's energy. She only suffered minor injuries after her soul power was more than half depleted.

With Ling Bai's protection and a level seven soul guide shield, Ning Tian was alright despite his soul power being completely depleted due to activating the Fusion Ring. He patted his chest with lingering fear.

Seeing that Ning Tian was unharmed, Xie Qin, the Shadow Dragon Douluo in the Shrek Academy's rest area, plopped back down on the sofa, secretly relieved.

Ling Luochen's injuries were quite severe. After all, she was only a Soul King. The Spear of Death pierced through the ultimate ice shield wall and then penetrated her right shoulder. The power of death invaded her body, her red lips lost their color and turned pale, and her delicate body trembled incessantly, clearly enduring great pain.

In comparison, the most miserable were Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan. Originally, each of them had one Death Spear, but Xu Sanshi standing in front of Jiang Nannan meant facing double the Death Spear. The divine beast Xuanwu's defense was naturally strong, but it couldn't withstand the Death Spear being an eighth-level soul tool. Xu Sanshi had already withdrawn from Xuanwu Awakening and collapsed on the ground, breathing weakly.

Jiang Nannan collapsed beside Xu Sanshi. In fact, she deserves half the credit for Xu Sanshi's survival. When the Xuanwu Shield was breached, she was the first to use her invincible golden body to block the first wave of the Death Spear, but she was also seriously injured by the subsequent blasts.

Huo Yuhao, who had the lowest soul power on the field, was not much better off. Although the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm was a million-year-old soul beast, the problem was that it was surrounded by a large group of Title Douluos. It dared not use much of its origin at all, and it had already done its best to save Huo Yuhao's life.

Four were seriously injured and one was slightly injured. The death spear made Shrek's already scarce manpower even worse.

"Not a single one died!?"

The fourth-level Soul Master beside Ma Rulong frowned. The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and Shrek Academy had a long-standing feud. For thousands of years, the two teams had shed each other's blood in the Soul Master Competition. This time, they used the Spear of Death to kill Shrek Academy's genius, firstly to win the Soul Master Competition, and secondly to eliminate threats in preparation for future wars.

"It's alright, there are eleven of them in total, a few seriously injured will be enough."

Ma Rulong said calmly, "The Six-Winged Angel's strength is unfathomable. The Spear of Death cannot seriously injure her. Save it for the individual competition or the 2-2-3 round. The last Spear of Death will be aimed at the Evil Fire Phoenix, Ma Xiaotao."

"yes!"

The fifth-level soul master who attacked Ling Bai first grinned maliciously. In just a few minutes, the twenty-year-old youth's hair turned completely white. The demonic spider had absorbed a large amount of their life force, and they would definitely not live past the age of thirty. But in order to defeat Shrek Academy, it was all worth it!

In the pre-match plan of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, the primary plan was to kill or severely injure Ling Bai, and the secondary plan was to eliminate everyone except Ling Bai, leaving him to fight alone in individual battles and 2-2-3 team battles. Ma Rulong decided to adopt the second plan. The Spear of Death, like a raging dragon released from its reins, roared and stabbed towards Ma Xiaotao!

Ma Xiaotao, with her explosive personality, exhaled a scorching breath, her body billowing white smoke from the high temperature. Two giant pillars of fire erupted from her leg soul bones, transforming into a dark red stream of light that shot straight toward the Spear of Death. Her second, third, and fifth soul rings shone simultaneously.

Phoenix rising from the ashes, phoenix wings soaring through the sky, phoenix piercing through the clouds!

At the same time, a golden figure descended from the sky, its jet-black fifth soul ring lit up, and the magnificent Radiant Sun Wheel appeared in front of Ma Xiaotao, who resembled a fire phoenix. Without dodging, she plunged headlong into it. The angelic holy fire of the Radiant Sun Wheel was attached to the phoenix's evil fire, and the six-winged angel, together with the evil fire phoenix, unleashed a fire storm of intertwined holy and evil, as if the entire world was being devoured by the raging fire.

The flames surged and roared like lava, burning the sky and the earth. The evil fire phoenix tumbled and roared, releasing astonishing heat and light. The arena was dyed golden red by the flames. The spear of death, the soul-guided cannonball, and everything else were reduced to ashes under the baptism of the flames.

The arena seemed to be nothing but flames and ruins, evoking endless desolation and fear. Under this terrifying attack, several figures struggled in the flames, their forms appearing and disappearing as if they were engaged in a life-or-death struggle with the fire. Their skin shone with golden light, resisting the onslaught of the Phoenix Evil Fire and the Angelic Holy Fire.

Invincible shield!

Another bug-level soul tool from the Sun Moon Empire!

The sky, which had been shrouded in gloom, finally began to rain. The downpour extinguished the remaining flames. Beneath the invincible shield lay the seven Soul Masters, drenched in sweat. Ma Rulong wiped the sweat from his brow and murmured:

"So this is a six-winged angel going all out and a phoenix driven mad by evil fire? How terrifying..."

He was recognized by Mingde Hall Master Jing Hongchen as a quasi-seventh-level Soul Master, and he had unparalleled pride in his heart. He always looked down on Ling Bai and Ma Xiaotao, who were recognized as the top two in single combat strength in the competition.

Now Ma Rulong finally realized that if he were to fight Ling Bai and Ma Xiaotao fairly using only the soul tools he had made, he would definitely not be a match for either of them.

Exhausted of her soul power, Ma Xiaotao stared at the jubilant Sun and Moon group with a look of resentment. Then she suddenly noticed that the water on the ground had quietly frozen into ice, and a smile slowly curved her lips.

It seemed that only Ling Bai was capable of fighting on Shrek's side. Ma Rulong and two level-four soul masters advanced with three soul guidance turrets, while Ling Bai fought and retreated, slowly drawing them away from the four level-five soul masters.

A violent explosion and a piercing scream rang out one after the other. Ma Rulong and his two companions advanced dozens of meters, but they still felt a shockwave like a tsunami coming from behind them. The soul-guided cannon collapsed under the effect of this shockwave, and the three of them were also swept up by the shockwave and thrown dozens of meters away before landing on the ground.

They hurriedly turned around and saw a shocking scene: a huge crater had appeared in the center of where the four level-five soul masters had been standing, and the four of them had been pulverized into dust by the terrifying explosion.

The 50,000-year-old Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm soul bone skill: Ice Explosion!

Ling Luochen clutched the penetrating wound on her right shoulder and fell into a coma. The torrential rain gave the ice element an opportunity to freeze instantly. Ling Bai realized her intention and deliberately attracted the attention of Ma Rulong and the other two. The four level-five soul masters devoted all their soul power to the Death Spear and the Invincible Shield, and had no power to resist. In the end, the Ice Explosion Technique ended their lives.

Ling Luochen originally did not intend to commit murder, but since the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy had taken a stand of no return, she showed no mercy and killed four people with an Ice Explosion Technique.

The situation suddenly reversed. The unexpected ice explosion threw Ma Rulong and his companions into disarray. The golden figure that appeared in front of them filled them with terror. Ling Bai unleashed two beams of light, splitting the two level-four soul masters in two along with the soul-guided turrets. The Angelic Holy Sword struck Ma Rulong directly.

Ling Bai stopped his movement just half a millimeter from slicing through Ma Rulong's throat, as a golden light deflected the Angelic Holy Sword. A cryptic smile appeared on Ma Rulong's face.

"Hey, I also have an invincible shield."

Ma Rulong met those burning red and golden eyes. A blinding light refracted from above fell into his eyes, a killing intent more ferocious than a torrent of flames.

"You were just a hair's breadth away from killing me," Ma Rulong sneered. "Referee, I concede!"

Two yellow, two purple, and five black spirit rings shone brightly. Huang Jinxu, the Heavenly Fiend Douluo, raised his right hand, releasing an aura of aloofness and purity. The starlight transformed into a huge barrier that isolated the entire arena, separating Ling Bai and Ma Rulong.

The Heavenly Fiend Douluo's expression was extremely gloomy. The team battle was a bloodbath. Shrek Academy had four seriously injured members and one member with minor injuries and exhaustion. Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy had six dead, with only their captain, Ma Rulong, surviving and walking off the stage.

This can't be entirely blamed on Tian Sha Douluo, because he didn't know if the two super academies had any hidden trump cards. For example, when the level-eight soul tool Death Spear attacked Ling Bai, Tian Sha Douluo was ready to save him. But then he thought that saving him would mean being eliminated. What if the other party could block it? Wouldn't that be pointless? So Tian Sha Douluo decided to wait and see. And that's when the trouble started.

"No wonder they didn't come..."

The Heavenly Fiend Douluo had a deadpan expression, which was really hard to gauge. Clever people like the Shattered Star Douluo and the Giant Hammer Douluo had already run away with clumsy excuses such as their wives being pregnant with their second child or sending their children to school. But he, the Heavenly Fiend Lone Star, couldn't find a reason and could only suffer in silence.

"Shrek Academy wins the team battle against Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy! Representatives from both academies, please provide your individual match rosters. The individual matches will begin in one minute!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Bei Bei, Wang Dong, and the others rushed over to check on Xu Sanshi and Huo Yuhao's situation. Ling Bai and Ning Tian helped Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen up and walked off the competition stage with solemn expressions.

On the other side, Ma Rulong bowed deeply to his fallen teammates, his voice low and resolute: "Each of us is prepared to sacrifice ourselves and will not be afraid to die in the final."

Brothers, you died a worthy death! I will bear your will and defeat Shrek Academy, making the name of Sun and Moon resound throughout the Douluo Continent!
