Douluo: The Glory of the Peerless Angel

Chapter 64 Soul Guidance Devices, Ning Tian's Choice (Part 1)

"hiss--"

Ling Bai gasped, clutching his chest tightly.

Oh no, this is terrible!

Dugu Lin jogged a few steps forward to support the swaying Ling Bai, and asked with shock and concern, "What's wrong? A ten-thousand-year-old soul bone shouldn't make you this excited!"

"It's nothing, just a bout of angina."

Ling Bai stopped, feeling an inexplicable urge to burst into tears. This broken soul bone was worse than nothing. Dugu Lin's discovery of the Medusa soul bone proved that everything was his fault!

At this moment, he wished he could rush into the Star Dou Great Forest immediately!

Golden tortoiseshell, open the door to welcome guests!

Seeing that Ling Bai was unharmed, Dugu Lin put aside her worries and held up the Medusa skull in her hand to admire it carefully.

It's so beautiful. Even disregarding its intrinsic value, the soul bone is like a magnificent treasure, reflecting a dazzling rainbow of colors under the sunlight.

A few minutes later, Dugu Lin reluctantly handed the Medusa Soul Bone to Ling Bai. Despite her casual remarks, she was actually quite shrewd. Obtaining the ten-thousand-year Medusa Soul Ring was already an unexpected surprise, and the two of them did not have the intimate relationship that would lead to the gifting of a soul bone.

Ling Bai accepted the soul bone. Although he wasn't extremely happy, the value of this ten-thousand-year-old soul bone was undeniable.

Among the soul bones produced by the Serpent Queen Medusa, the most valuable is the head soul bone, because the skull solidifies the most powerful innate soul skill of the Medusa clan, Medusa's Gaze!

The intensity of Medusa's gaze needs no further explanation; even Contra's She Chong, after taking a hit, could only be petrified and unable to resist!

Of the six major soul bone parts, the head and torso soul bones are far more valuable than the limb soul bones.

Ling Bai hopes to absorb beast-level soul bones for these two parts in the future, so he will temporarily keep the Medusa soul bone and auction it off or give it to a suitable person one day.

"Thank you for your luck. Consider the Medusa Soul Ring my token of gratitude."

Ling Bai carefully put away Medusa's soul bone, nodded slightly to Dugu Lin, and turned to leave the inner courtyard assessment hall, heading towards Shrek Academy's outer courtyard.

……

Foreign Languages ​​Department, Freshman Assessment Area, Semi-finals.

"Ning Tian! Ning Tian!"

In the players' rest area, Wu Feng waved his hand in front of Ning Tian, ​​who was staring intently at the audience, and said with exasperation:

"Ling Bai went to carry out the inner court assessment mission, so he definitely won't be here to watch us today!"

Ning Tian did not see the figure he had been waiting for. He slowly came back to his senses and said with a sigh, "Whether or not I watch the battle is a minor matter. I'm worried that Brother Bai will run into trouble."

Wu Feng scoffed, "If Ling Bai is in trouble, then everyone else will be in even more trouble!"

Wu Feng was furious with Ling Bai's repeated defeats over the past five years, but she had an almost blind faith in his strength.

"Sister Tian, ​​Sister Feng, it's our turn to go on stage!"

A clear female voice suddenly rang out, and a beautiful young girl shouted at the two women with her hands cupped like megaphones.

Nanmen Yun'er, with the martial spirit Jade Bird, is the third member of Ning Tian's team.

The three of them stepped onto the assessment field and saw their opponents in the semi-finals.

Wu Feng's eyes widened in disbelief. The world was so small. His opponent was none other than Huo Yuhao, a familiar face, along with his teammates Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao.

"This is it!"

Wu Feng lowered his voice, but couldn't hide his excitement, saying, "Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao are exceptionally strong, but the teacher in Class One is insane; he just had to team up with that newbie from the first ring!"

"Yes, Sister Feng is right!" Nanmen Yun'er nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

"Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit, so don't underestimate your opponent," Ning Tian reminded them.

"Yes, Sister Tian is right!" Nanmen Yun'er betrayed Wu Feng without even thinking.

On the other side, Huo Yuhao, with his extraordinary vision through his spiritual eyes, caught Wu Feng's contemptuous gaze, as if he had found an easy target. A raging fire ignited in his heart, and he declared firmly, "Wang Dongxiao, we must win this match!"

"With me here, there will be no surprises."

"Don't worry, squad leader, leave it to us!"

The boy with short, light blue hair, exquisitely handsome features, and a hint of arrogance between his brows is Wang Dong, while the girl with slightly shorter stature, slender build, and long, dark green hair with a baby face is Xiao Xiao.

"The match begins!"

At the referee's signal, the battle between Huo Yuhao's team and Ning Tian's team officially began.

"The seven treasures have names: first, strength! Second, speed!"

The responsibility of a support-type Soul Master is to buff teammates. Ning Tian summoned the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and his first and second Soul Rings lit up at the same time. The yellow light emitted by the hundred-year Soul Rings made the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda shine even brighter. The 40% increase in strength and speed fell to Wu Feng and Nanmen Yun'er.

Not to be outdone, Huo Yuhao's Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm white soul ring, seemingly ten years old but actually a million years old, flashed. The mental network constructed by the shared mental detection connected with Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, making the actions of Ning Tian and the other two completely visible to them.

Possessed by the most beautiful martial soul on the entire continent, the Goddess of Light Butterfly, two soul rings, one yellow and one purple, surpassing all limits, appeared. A pair of dazzling blue-gold wings unfolded, and Wang Dong soared into the air, heading straight for Ning Tian.

In team fights, prioritize eliminating the carry; this is an eternally unchanging principle!

"How dare you!"

Anyone who dares to attack Ning Tian is regarded as a mortal enemy by Wu Feng. Her crimson eyes gleamed brightly, and her voluptuous body rippled with a red glow. Fine diamond-shaped dragon scales extended down her neck until they covered her arms and hands.

"boom--"

The red dragon's sharp claws collided fiercely with the wings of the Goddess of Light's butterfly. The battle between the two powerful offensive Soul Masters seemed to pause for a moment in the center of the Soul Arena, before waves of energy suddenly erupted and swept wildly in all directions.

Nanmen Yun'er made the same choice as Wang Dong, targeting Huo Yuhao, the core of the opposing tactics. The Jade Bird gave her a pair of emerald green wings, but due to the difference in the quality of her martial soul, she could not fly freely like Wang Dong, and could only glide to accelerate. Fortunately, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda gave her a huge speed boost, allowing her to perform at a level of agility-type soul master that exceeded her soul power level.

However, Xiao Xiao, who was positioned opposite Nanmen Yun'er, had already predicted her movements through mental detection. With a sly smile on her pretty face with baby fat, three ancient black cauldrons were arranged in a triangular shape to block Nanmen Yun'er's inevitable path!

"Bang!"

A dull thud echoed throughout the assessment area, and the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron emitted a strong shockwave. The dizziness forced Nanmen Yun'er to retreat quickly. With Xiao Xiao and the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, she posed no threat to Huo Yuhao.

Nanmen Yun'er failed to cut the center, and Wu Feng looked at Wang Dong, who was fighting him with the advantage of the sky. He realized that he had to defeat him to break the deadlock, and then decisively lit up two yellow soul rings!

A layer of scorching crimson flames condensed on Wu Feng's body. This was the Red Dragon's first soul skill, Dragon Fire. From then on, every attack she made was accompanied by the intense heat of Dragon Fire!

Wu Feng's transformation was far from over. His second soul skill, Dragon's Fury, erupted, and the dragon fire rising from his body suddenly turned dark red. His red dragon scales also became noticeably thicker and heavier, and his hands twisted and grew large, resembling real dragon claws.

"Yoona, forget about Xiao Xiao, help Xiao Feng!"

Ning Tian gave a loud command, and upon hearing it, Nanmen Yun'er immediately abandoned her attempt to break through the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron. Her last-ranked hundred-year soul ring shone brightly, and its emerald green light condensed into a crescent-shaped blade of light, which drew a beautiful arc in the air and slashed towards Wang Dong.

Jade Bird's second soul skill, Jade Slash!

With its locking effect, Wang Dong had no way to avoid it!

The two women attacked from the front and back, but Wang Dong remained calm. On the wings of the Goddess of Light Butterfly, rings of golden light patterns resembled tiny suns bursting forth with intense brilliance.

The left wing twisted to face Nanmen Yun'er behind it, while the right wing met the frontal attack of Wu Feng. All the golden light patterns on the butterfly wings shone brightly!

The second soul skill of the millennium, the light of the butterfly god!

Wang Dong activated the Butterfly God's Light, and Ning Tian also chanted the Soul Incantation: "Seven Treasures have names, the third is..."

The sudden, excruciating pain in his brain caused Ning Tian's body to tremble, and blood seeped from his mouth and nose as his internal energy surged.

One of the four soul skills of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm: Soul Impact!

Since enrolling, Huo Yuhao had been concealing his soul impact and mental interference techniques, which have now come into play. Caught off guard by the soul impact, Ning Tian's mind went blank for a moment. Not only was his third soul skill interrupted, but the power and speed boosts he had previously provided to Wu Feng and Nanmen Yun'er also vanished.

The situation on the field suddenly changed. Wu Feng and Nanmen Yun'er, who had calculated their defenses, were greatly weakened. The light of the Butterfly God forced the two to retreat step by step. Xiao Xiao seized the opportunity to finish them off, knocking them both out of bounds with a single blow.

When Ning Tian regained consciousness, she was the only one left in the arena. How could a support-type Soul Master with no combat ability possibly defeat a three-person team that was completely unharmed? The outcome was already decided!

"I lost?"

Ning Tian's eyes flashed with three parts doubt, five parts confusion, and two parts disbelief.

Impossible! The young sect master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School could never lose to someone else!

The next second, something even more despairing happened to Ning Tian. She met a pair of incredibly familiar golden eyes. Ling Bai had somehow appeared in the audience!

"Brother Bai..."

Ling Bai didn't say anything, but she felt a deafening roar, as if she had been slapped in the face, leaving only a buzzing sound in her ears.

Wu Feng hurriedly got up, followed Ning Tian's gaze to Ling Bai, and the color drained from his face at an alarming rate. Then he saw Ning Tian jump off the assessment platform and rush into the distance...
