Douluo Continent II: The Dragon Breaks the Nine Heavens

Chapter 367 Prohibition of Assaulting Referees

"Thirty percent of my strength." Lin Yun waved his hand, using his soul power to sweep away the dust that filled the arena.

The soul-guided shield, maintained by countless milk bottles, had long since shattered. Even Zheng Zhan's level-nine soul-guided shield couldn't withstand the Evil Dragon Battle Axe. The power of the explosion, even if it was just the aftershock, was far beyond what the soul-guided shield could block.

This isn't Xu Tianran's trump card, the Linked Soul Tool. If Lin Yun can't even break through this small shield, what will become of his reputation?

The arena was now a complete mess. The ground in front of Lin Yun, wherever the Evil Dragon Battle Axe had flown, had been cut in two by its sharp aura.

It was like a gradually widening road, extending all the way to the side where Zheng Zhan was defending against Lin Yun's attack. With the shield as the dividing line, the arena on Lin Yun's side was completely undamaged except for the cracks cut by the Evil Dragon Battle Axe, while the arena on Zheng Zhan's side had completely collapsed.

This Unbreakable Douluo was standing on the crater, questioning his existence, with metal fragments of his level nine soul guide shield scattered around him, covered in dust and tattered cloth.

Zheng Zhan looked down at his trembling hands, whose skin was cracked and bleeding, and his face was filled with horror.

This guy is... a Soul Saint?

I'd believe you if you told me he was a Super Douluo!

No, how could a Super Douluo possibly break through my defenses in one move and almost kill me?

"In the Soul Fighting Competition... no one is allowed to accidentally injure the referee!" Zheng Zhan's lips trembled as he forced out these words before his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

He wasn't seriously injured, but his soul power was depleted and he was exhausted. His internal organs were definitely shaken. For a titled Douluo, it wasn't a serious injury. At most, he would be unconscious for a while and then need to recuperate for some time.

"The power seems alright..." Lin Yun murmured softly.

This was his first time attacking a Title Douluo. Although he had fought many soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, soul beasts were generally thick-skinned and tough, and Lin Yun would not use such a killing move on the soul beasts that were helping him spar.

Therefore, this was the first time Lin Yun had a direct view of how much damage his soul skill could actually deal.

With 30% of his power, he could cripple Zheng Zhan; with 50%, he could probably cleave him and his shield into five pieces. If he went all out, even the Unbreakable Douluo would probably be reduced to ashes.

As for the seven members of the Fighting Spirit Team...

Of course, he's not dead.

Lin Yun was very sensible. They had brought him the prison, so how could he repay kindness with enmity and send them to see Tang San?

If Zheng Zhan hadn't made a move, the Evil Dragon Battle Axe wouldn't have struck them. Although Lin Yun activated his soul skill very quickly, giving them no time to interrupt, Lin Yun controlled the speed of the Evil Dragon Battle Axe's flight to be very slow.

When they are about to be hit, Lin Yun will control them to swing towards the arena and use the aftershocks to knock them away, instead of directly cutting them into 2.5 pieces.

After intensifying his attack and sending Zheng Zhan flying, he also knocked the seven members of Dou Ling off the stage. In the end, they all passed out, and none of them died or were seriously injured.

It's just a competition. There's no deep-seated hatred between us, so why do we have to kill each other the moment we meet?

However, Lin Yun's competition was a bit too abstract. Everyone else was playing against teams, but he was alone, fighting seven opponents at once. Not only that, he didn't treat the opponents like human beings at all, turning the competition into a contestant beating up an elderly referee.

In response, Lin Yun could only say: "Who told you referees to slack off all the time? If we don't put you through some intensity, you'll really think that we, the participating team members, are all trash."

After Lin Yun stepped down from the stage, the other participating teams, who hadn't dared to breathe a word, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Yun had already made his move in the previous competition, and many familiar faces in this competition recognized him, including Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, as well as representatives from several royal academies and advanced soul master academies. They had all witnessed Lin Yun's power. After all, in the previous competition, Lin Yun's soul ring configuration was already three black and two red, with two 100,000-year soul rings, enough to make him their greatest enemy.

After this match, Xiao Hongchen was in despair, Long Aotian was restless, and the other weak teams were completely heartbroken.

That's it, just a small market!

However, it must be said that Lin Yun's actions have indeed raised the popularity of this competition to an unprecedented level. Lin Yun has satisfied all the audience's desires.

Overwhelming strength, dazzling spirit rings, cool special effects that burn through budget every time she makes a move, and that stunningly beautiful face that makes Miss Meng blush and her heart race.

Lin Yun, the new king of popularity in this competition!

Interestingly, apart from the teams that had collected information about Lin Yun after the previous competition, no one else even knew what Lin Yun's martial soul was.

He simply stepped onto the stage, released his spirit ring, and unleashed a 100,000-year spirit skill with zero frames. The titled Douluo referee immediately knelt down, and the seven Douling people even put on a show of "hello and goodbye," being instantly killed while in jail throughout the entire process.

After this match, the remaining matches today were completely boring to the audience. Not only did these matches fail to deliver the same strong visual impact as Lin Yun, but the teams themselves were also so overwhelmed by Lin Yun that they were distracted during the matches.

In this situation, some teams that were originally able to win and advance actually lost when they were in a sure-win situation due to their unstable mentality.

That night, at the Ming Dynasty Imperial Palace.

"How could it be... so strong?!" Xu Tianran stared at the soul tool in front of him, his face full of embarrassment, his hands constantly pulling at his hair, his eyes bloodshot.

"Is this really the combat power a Soul Master could possess?"

The recording playing on the soul tool was naturally a replay of Lin Yun's match today. If the Star Luo Empire could purchase soul tools for auction live streaming, then the Sun Moon Empire's technology must be even more advanced.

Although the screen recording quality doesn't reach 4K, it still has 1080p Blu-ray quality.

The scene showed Lin Yun's calm and unhurried movements, and the terrifying power he could unleash with ease, capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks. Even though Xu Tianran had already witnessed it firsthand, watching it again now still shocked him.

Let alone Zheng Zhan, even if you put him in Zheng Zhan's position, he wouldn't be much better than Zheng Zhan!

Even though Xu Tianran was a titled Douluo and carried numerous soul tools, he wasn't even confident of surviving against Lin Yun.

Keep in mind, he's only a Soul Saint now!

"How is this possible!" Xu Tianran slumped weakly in his wheelchair, his heart filled with jealousy and resentment.

Orange stood silently behind him, her eyes flickering as she watched the replay of the match on the screen.
