Douluo Continent II: The Dragon Breaks the Nine Heavens

Chapter 366 First Move, Instantly Killing a Fighting Spirit

Surprisingly, the "women are all stupid" rule in Douluo Continent doesn't seem to apply.

The first thing Nan Qiuqiu did after seeing Lin Yun and Xue Di was to go find her mother, Nan Shuishui, instead of letting her imagination run wild. And after Nan Qiuqiu finished recounting the whole story, Nan Shuishui's first thought was to pretend she knew nothing.

Is this really the kind of brain that Douluo's best friend has?

Wait, where did that kick come from? Is this still Douluo Continent?

The Nan family mother and daughter's decision was clear: after receiving the hush money, they would obediently pretend they knew nothing, not get involved in anything, and that nothing had happened.

The Earth Dragon Gate, only concerned with its own well-being.

The scenario Lin Yun envisioned—where the Nan family mother and daughter would become curious about his actions and eventually be brought under his control—did not happen.

Even Nan Shuishui didn't entertain the slightest thought of using her "qi-gazing technique" to assess Lin Yun's character. She possessed a secret skill that allowed her to discern whether a person was righteous or not, but out of caution and prudence, she fled with the defeated Dilongmen the very next day.

He rushed back to Dilongmen day and night, and then announced that Dilongmen would close its gates and cease all worldly affairs.

Ah this...

(Nan Shuishui: If I can't afford to offend them, can't I at least avoid them?)

This was indeed a miscalculation by Lin Yun. His intention in showing off his Limit Douluo abilities in front of Nan Qiuqiu was to flex his muscles and let her and Nan Shuishui understand the strength of the Soul Palace so that they could confidently rely on him.

But what he didn't expect was that Nan Shuishui was too steady and her determination to run away was unwavering.

But as I said before, it's just a small brothel. It's no big deal if you don't join, as long as you take the hush money and behave yourself and don't cause any trouble.

The competition is still ongoing.

After the list of the top 32 was released, the Soul Hall still did not face off against the Body Sect and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. Instead, it easily defeated a high-level Soul Master Academy of the Heavenly Soul Empire and advanced to the top 16.

Neither the Body Sect nor the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy encountered any opponents. The Body Sect easily defeated all the opponents in the top 32, and Long Aotian never even showed his face from beginning to end.

However, Xiao Hongchen made a move in the battle for the top 32.

Just when the group of leaders thought that the only Soul Saints in this competition were female Soul Masters, Yan Feng took the lead and used his Soul Saint-level Bone Dragon True Body to kill several Shrek Academy students with a few slaps.

Xiao Hongchen followed closely behind, also using his Soul Saint level cultivation and seventh-level Soul Master realm to control a large number of Soul Tools to bombard the entire map, sending away a third-rate Soul Master Academy of the Star Luo Empire with overwhelming force.

Thus, the second male Soul Saint of this competition made his dazzling debut.

In the round of 16, the Soul Palace encountered an old rival, but not one of the others. It was the Douling Academy, which Lin Yun and Xiao Xiao had faced in the previous tournament. To thank the Douling Academy for sending the lovely maid Lao Xue, Lin Yun personally took action without any pretense.

Six red, one green and one gold—a combination of seven spirit rings that no one could understand—were openly and legitimately released on the arena.

Looking back at the previous tournament, the team configuration of Dou Ling was five Soul Kings and two Soul Masters. However, after being strengthened by some unknown force in this tournament, although the number of Soul Kings remained unchanged at five, the other two Soul Masters became two Soul Emperors.

As expected, the first tournament was weakened to allow Huo to show off, and this is the team configuration that should be in this version of Douji II.

But... it didn't work.

Looking at the seven spirit rings floating around Lin Yun, the captain of the Douling team said with a bitter expression, "Seriously, buddy, is it really necessary to make such a big fuss when fighting against us, Douling?"

You've been watching almost an entire tournament without ever playing. Can't you keep watching? Even though we're not confident of winning against your team's other Soul Saint, it's still better than fighting a Soul Saint like you with six 100,000-year Soul Rings and one Soul Ring whose age we can't even decipher.

Let us fight spirits, and beat a Soul Saint like you who's cheated?

Will it win?

"We will win." Lin Yun's smile was radiant, for this was his declaration of victory upon his first appearance! The cheers from the audience were like a landslide and a tsunami, especially from the fans of Jishuai, whose eyes were filled with fervor as they looked at Lin Yun.

For ordinary people who lack talent or even have no talent at all, what kind of competition is exciting?

That must be dazzling spirit rings, ever-changing martial spirits, spirit skills with amazing special effects, and devastating battles!

To show his importance, Lin Yun spread his arms, and a thick crimson blood mist instantly spread from his body. The sixth ring, inscribed with three golden patterns, belonged to the Demonic Orca King.

Soul Skill activated!

The crimson spirit ring detached from Lin Yun's spirit ring sequence and floated onto his right leg. The spirit ring seemed to be burning with crimson flames, and these flames gradually formed a huge scarlet battle axe!

Three hundred thousand years of soul skill - Evil Dragon Battle Axe!

Are you ready?

Lin Yun grinned, and amidst the horrified gazes of the Douling team members, he unleashed a spinning kick, a whip-like leg that ripped through the air, tearing through space with terrifying axe shadows, hurtling towards the Douling team like a cannonball.

The crimson axe shadow magnified in the pupils of the seven members of the Fighting Spirit Team. The terrifying pressure of the 100,000-year-old soul skill caused deep cracks to appear in the ground wherever the axe shadow passed.

Even if the arena is made of granite cast from various rare metals known for their hardness, it cannot withstand the power of a 100,000-year-old soul skill.

Patches of land were swept away by the axe shadows, then decomposed into dust by the crimson flames burning on the axe shadows.

Will they win?

No, I'll die!

"We surrender!" The captain of the Fighting Spirit team immediately raised his hands in a standard French military salute, his heart-wrenching shout sounding even a little shrill due to intense fear.

A massive shield descended from the sky, its technologically advanced surface covered with layers of pale blue light shields formed from soul power. In a short while, an impregnable wall stood before the seven members of the Fighting Spirit Team, protecting them firmly behind them.

Above the shield stood a tall figure, with nine spirit rings swirling around him.

Two yellow, three purple, four black—a level nine Soul Master, the Unbreakable Douluo Zheng Zhan!

"Unbreakable Douluo? Let me see if your shield is broken or not today!" Lin Yun, who had only used less than 10% of his strength, laughed and swung his whip kick around. The Evil Dragon Battle Axe, which had been flying slowly, giving the Douling team enough time to surrender, suddenly accelerated and slashed at the Unbreakable Douluo's shield with an indomitable momentum.

The shield, a level nine soul tool, suddenly burst forth with intense blue light the moment it collided with the Evil Dragon Battle Axe. Layers of pale blue shield cracked rapidly.

Zheng Zhan, who was posing on the shield, turned pale as a large amount of his soul power was frantically drawn out by his natal soul tool to defend against the attack of the Evil Dragon Battle Axe.

"Woo-hoo!"

The roar, like the cry of a whale or the roar of a dragon, even penetrated the soundproof shield of the arena and resounded throughout the entire Soul Arena.

Immediately afterwards, a ferocious and sinister phantom appeared on the Evil Dragon Battle Axe. It was a killer whale with a gray-black body, a mouth full of sharp teeth, and blood-red eyes.

Demonic Orca King!

The Demon Orca King, which had been sleeping in its soul ring, awoke for a moment. It had finally come out to get some fresh air. Looking at the shield in front of it, a hint of contempt appeared in the Demon Orca King's blood-red eyes. It leaped high into the air as if swimming in water, and finally slashed down its tail.

Click!

Click, click...

The light shield shattered first, and the Evil Dragon Battle Axe, whose power hadn't even been weakened much, struck the shield itself directly. This level-nine soul tool, which had withstood Wang Qiu'er's full-force throw in the original story but only managed to leave a small dent, exploded instantly under the attack of the Evil Dragon Battle Axe!
