Douluo Continent: The Holy Evil Emperor.

Chapter 200 The Battle Spirit's Defenses Are All Broken

"One hundred and twenty-seven million, Master of the Red Dust Hall. I hope this soul bone can bring a significant boost to your grandson."

In private room number one, Xu Jiawei, sitting upright on the sofa, smiled slightly and murmured softly.

That's right, this soul bone was the one Xu Jiawei decided to use to fleece people. He originally thought that the people of Douluo Three Kingdoms would be fleeced because of the Sea God's reputation, but he didn't expect that the Sun Moon Empire would be the one to be fleeced instead.

This is actually good news.

Xiao Hongchen certainly didn't have that many gold soul coins, so he could only use the high-level soul tool from Mingde Hall as collateral. The Star Luo Empire made a huge profit from this.

They directly cut the collateral price of the soul tool by 20% as a handling fee, and Xiao Hongchen, who was determined to get this soul bone, had no choice but to let the Star Luo Empire cut off this piece of flesh.

Of course, it wasn't cut off too much.

As mentioned earlier, the value of the same soul bone is different in Douluo Three Kingdoms and Sun Moon Empire, and the value of the same soul tool is also different in the two countries.

Even if the Star Luo Empire cut the price of Xiao Hongchen's soul tool by 20%, it was still higher than the market price of the Sun Moon Empire for Xiao Hongchen.

In the end, it's hard to say which side gained and which side lost.

The Sun Moon Empire has been exploiting the Douluo Three Kingdoms for countless years with its soul tools and rare metals. The auction of this Demonic Tiger Whale's right leg bone can only be considered a resource exchange.

"Should I...?" Xu Jiawei's mind suddenly stirred, and an idea popped into his head.

Clearly, this old guy is planning to issue another underground bounty.

But Xu Jiawei quickly dismissed the idea. Soul bones are not like embryos; this soul bone might be absorbed by Xiao Hongchen when they returned to the hotel.

An embryo can only be absorbed at level 90 to maximize its benefits. Even if it cannot be transformed into a martial soul, it can still become Xiao Hongchen's ninth soul ring, which is why it is kept. Soul bones do not have this restriction.

With Xiao Hongchen's current Soul King cultivation level, he is already capable of absorbing the left leg bone of the Demonic Orca.

If a bounty were to be placed, Xiao Hongchen would probably be assassinated. Xu Jiawei just wanted to create some fun within the Sun Moon Empire and give Jing Hongchen a headache, not to drive him crazy because of Xiao Hongchen's death.

This did Xu Jiawei no good whatsoever.

Having fallen into madness, it's hard to say whether Jing Hongchen might become so deranged as to hurl level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannonballs at Xingluo City.

However, their gains this time were already sufficient.

The nine treasures auctioned this time brought the Star Luo Empire a great deal of profit, almost equal to the profits it made from hosting the Soul Battle Tournament.

The big prizes were naturally the skull of the Evil Eye Tyrant that Ye Qing bought and the leg bone of the Demon Orca that Xiao Hongchen bought.

Xu Jiawei was already very satisfied.

On the other side, after settling the auction and paying for the items, Shrek and his group left the Starlight Auction House through a secret passage in the private room used to protect the buyers' privacy, and returned to the Starlight Hotel.

"Here, take it and absorb it." After returning to the hotel, under the envious gazes of everyone, Ye Qing directly handed the box containing the skull of the Evil Eye Tyrant to Zhang Lexuan.

Dai Yueheng glanced down at his soul tool and suddenly felt that the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade was no longer appealing.

uncomfortable.

Zhang Lexuan held the box, her pretty face full of happiness and emotion. She didn't say much, but after tiptoeing and kissing Ye Qing on the cheek, she went back to her room to prepare to absorb the soul bone.

The others also dispersed to prepare for tomorrow's round of 16 knockout stage (I misremembered the format; after the round-robin, it's directly sixteen to eight; the previous text has been corrected).

the next day.

The group returned to Xingluo Square.

Compared to a few days ago, the rest area has become extremely empty, with only sixteen teams remaining, while the other more than one hundred teams have all been eliminated.

On the contrary, the number of people in the stands was no less than before, with many queuing up the night before just to get a better view.

Round of 16, first match...

Shrek Academy vs. Battle Spirit Academy, a team battle.

"Why is it still Dou Ling, the internal war god?" Ye Qing raised his hand and patted his forehead.

However, he was quite curious about the Level 7 Thunder Cannon that the Fighting Spirit Academy pulled out in the original work. This thing was said to be the most powerful soul tool among the fixed soul tools, but he didn't know how high its actual attack power was.

So, out of Ye Qing's curiosity, Huo Yuhao was once again relegated to the sidelines.

You're only at the level of a Great Soul Master. If you're not good enough, practice more. Don't blame the road for being uneven if you're not good enough. If you can't get on the field, look for the reasons within yourself.

Under Huo Yuhao's envious, jealous, and hateful gaze, the seven members of the main team reappeared.

The leader of the Douling team was still the same guy from the original story, Gu Zhujian. The butterfly effect brought about by Ye Qing mainly occurred in Shrek Academy and the Star Luo Empire, but had little impact on the Douling Empire. So, this guy naturally came up to get beaten up again.

However, he dared not be as nonchalant as he was in the original story. Ye Qing made two moves in this competition, and both left an indelible impression.

Gu Zhujian had no doubt that if he dared to show off, Ye Qing would definitely use a 100,000-year soul skill to make him fly.

But he was unwilling to back down in the competition, so Gu Zhujian used a clumsy attempt to provoke him.

"I've heard so much about Ye Qing, the captain of the Shrek team." Gu Zhujian forced an ugly smile onto his lifeless face, which looked like it was suffering from kidney deficiency.

"Oh, so you're the genius who came to see me, right?" Ye Qing put his hands in his pockets, his bright and imposing figure contrasting sharply with Gu Zhujian's gloomy and weak appearance.

At this point, Gu Zhujian's forced smile crumbled, and his face immediately darkened: "Ye Qing, I admit you're very strong; there's probably no one stronger than you in this competition. But isn't your attitude a bit too arrogant?"

"Do you remember how many ants you've stepped on? Do you remember how many slices of bread you've eaten?" Ye Qing didn't answer the question directly, but instead asked Gu Zhujian in return.

"..." Gu Zhujian remained silent.

Gu Zhu Jian Hongwen: "Outrageous!"

"Since you're so arrogant, do you dare to fight our Fighting Spirit Team head-on? You, who never take anyone seriously, surely wouldn't be afraid, right?"

Ye Qing waved his hand listlessly: "I'm just arrogant, not stupid. Don't try to provoke me with your clumsy attempts. Just make your move."

"I sent you to make a move so you could see the difference between you and me, bro. Remember to download a 'Shameless Map' app next time, so you can always see your own limitations!"

Gu Zhujian couldn't understand, but he could hear the undisguised sarcasm in Ye Qing's words.

He was both smug and pleased with himself as he broke down. No matter what happened, as long as Ye Qing agreed, that was all that mattered!

On Shrek's side, Dai Yueheng opened his mouth, then hesitated before saying, "Brother Ye, isn't this too risky? After all, they are the royal academy of the Douling Empire. Who knows if they might be hiding some trump cards?"

The others nodded in agreement, but Ma Xiaotao silently took two steps back, giving the stage to Ye Qing.

Ye Qing first gave her an approving look before turning his back to the crowd: "It's alright. No matter what tricks they try, I'll defeat them with one punch. I have a punch that can suppress all enemies in the world, not to mention they aren't even worthy of being called my enemies!"

Dai Yueheng silently gave a thumbs up, stepped back to Ma Xiaotao's side, and then casually took out his notebook and wrote Ye Qing's words down.

That's great, so cool, awesome!

From now on, this phrase will be mine, Dai Laohu's. I'll use it to show off from now on!

Xu Sanshi glanced at Dai Yueheng's actions, thought for a moment, and then silently said the same thing to Han, which made Bei Bei laugh out loud and point at him with the eyes of someone looking at a clown.

"Hilarious! Ye Qing dares to say that because he's strong enough. As for you, licking a turtle, forget it. I'm afraid you'll look even more like a clown after you say it, hahaha..."

"Shut up! Are you any better than me?" Xu Sanshi snapped.

Beibei sneered and crossed her arms: "At least I didn't mean to use that line to show off. Oh, Senior Dai, don't look at me, I wasn't talking about you." Beibei shrugged.

Whether it's because of Tang Ya's departure or because Ye Qing has been increasing his strength over the years, Bei Bei's attack power is rising day by day, often making Xu Sanshi furious.

Only Dai Yueheng silently put away his notebook, glancing helplessly at Ma Xiaotao beside him, whose face was full of mockery.

Unlike the joyful atmosphere on Shrek's side, the Fighting Spirit team had completely broken down.

"Damn it, that's utterly arrogant! They don't even consider us a threat!"

"Captain, give the order! Use that move! Make those arrogant Shrek Academy pay the price!"

"That's right, let them see our bond!"

Facing the angry glares of his teammates, Gu Zhujian nodded vigorously.

"Alright, no idle chatter on the field!" The Star Shattering Douluo, who had been enjoying the show immensely, finally remembered the important matter at this moment. He coughed twice with his fist to his lips and then told both teams to step back.

Once both teams had retreated to the designated distance, Shattered Star Douluo didn't hesitate and immediately announced the start of the match.

The old man had already noticed the tension between the two teams while watching the drama unfold. Old people always enjoy watching the fun, and Shattered Star Douluo was no exception. That's why he deliberately didn't interrupt the friction between the two teams.

Only in this way can Ye Qing demonstrate more of her strength, and only then will the competition be more exciting!

Perhaps when Ye Qing grows into a Limit Douluo, Shattered Star Douluo can still talk about today's events with a smile.

The seven members of the Douling team, whose tempers had been fully ignited, instantly changed their formation as soon as Shattered Star Douluo finished speaking. Six of them formed a circle on the outer edge, while Guzhu Sword stood in the middle of the team.

After taking their respective positions, they moved in unison to retrieve various parts of different sizes from their storage soul tools.

The Lone Bamboo Sword, located in the very center, even took out a metal object the size of a millstone and held it in its arms.

This piece of metal not only has numerous open holes, but its surface is also engraved with a large number of patterns. Anyone familiar with soul tools can tell at a glance that this piece of metal is a large core magic array.

"Hehe, Ye Qing, take this! This is the bond of our Douling team!" Gu Zhujian roared, his face flushed, and knelt on one knee, raising the core magic array high.

The other six members of the Douling team also maintained the same posture, raising the core array components in their hands and pouring their soul power into the core array without reservation, facing the millstone in Guzhu Jian's arms.

The seven core magic arrays that were separated from the main array lit up immediately under the soul power output of the seven members of the Douling team, and released a huge fluctuation of soul power.

The first person to feel this fluctuation was naturally Ye Qing, who was at the forefront.

He waved his hand, signaling the people behind him to step back, while he slowly walked towards the center of the arena, with one spirit ring after another lighting up on his body.

"It's actually a Thunder Cannon?" In the rest area, Ma Rulong looked at the Douling Empire's formation on the arena with surprise. "Judging from this soul power fluctuation, this is at least a level seven Thunder Cannon."

"Tsk, what's so surprising?" Xiao Hongchen rested his chin on his right hand, his face full of disdain. "The Soul Masters in Douluo Continent are only at this level. Even if they get the blueprints, they can't make the complete Thunder Cannon. They can only use this kind of trick to divide the parts into pieces."

"Although the Thunder Cannon can be used by multiple people in combination after being split up, it will consume at least 30% to 50% more soul power to exert its normal power because it has no carrier. It's practically useless."

Perhaps in the eyes of the Soul Master who created this Thunder Cannon in the Douling Empire, his idea of ​​dividing the Thunder Cannon into parts that could be combined for use was simply ingenious.

But to people like Xiao Hongchen, this behavior was incredibly humorous.

The technological gap...

On the arena, Ye Qing faced the members of the Douling team and slowly raised his right hand. At the same time, the 'Black 100,000-Year Soul Ring' ranked fourth gradually lit up.

With the continuous infusion of soul power, Gu Zhujian and his teammates were surrounded by a large amount of electric current, which eventually converged on the main core magic array in Gu Zhujian's arms.

Numerous golden arcs of electricity also lit up on Ye Qing's right arm, which he continuously compressed into his hand.

Holy Light Thunder Prison Compressed Variant - Thunder Prison Destruction.

The inspiration for this variant soul skill comes from Ice Emperor's Wrath of Ice. Ice Emperor compresses a large amount of ice attribute to form the destructive attack of Wrath of Ice. Ye Qing is essentially using the driving method of Wrath of Ice to unleash Holy Light Thunder Prison.

Although it sounds simple, it is actually almost impossible to accomplish.

Keep in mind that this is lightning, the ultimate attribute of explosiveness and destruction. Without sufficient physical strength and elemental control, it's not lightning compression, but rather blowing your own right hand apart.

"Thunder Cannon - Fire!" Gu Zhujian, his face flushed red, roared hoarsely as he charged to his limit.

Ye Qing raised his right arm, the electric arc having burned away the sleeve of his right arm, leaving his bare right arm almost transparent under the extremely compressed power of lightning.

"Thunder Prison Destroyed!"
