Douluo Continent II: The Dragon Breaks the Nine Heavens

Chapter 78 First Battle, One Punch Sends the Enemy Away, Xiao Xiao Makes Her Move

"The second assessment in District 27 will be between Wang Chunpeng's team from Class 2 of the freshmen and Lin Yun's team from Class 8 of the freshmen. Both teams, please enter the arena!"

As the referee's voice rang out, Lin Yun and his two companions stood in two corners of the ring, facing each other across the ring.

It must be said that just by standing his ground, Lin Yun had already put immense pressure on the trio opposite him.

"The match begins!"

Both sides released their spirit rings instantly. Besides Wang Chunpeng, who was a two-ring Great Spirit Master, there was a square-faced female student and a skinny male student beside him, both of whom were one-ring Spirit Masters.

On the other hand, Lin Yun's team composition was simply bizarre, consisting of three rings from top to bottom: the third ring, the second ring, the first ring, and so on.

Normally, the members of a team should have similar strengths. For example, Huang Chutian's team has three Great Soul Masters, or Wang Chunpeng's team has one Great Soul Master and two Soul Masters, but those two Soul Masters are at level 18 or 19, so the three of them are not much different in strength.

The incredible combination of Lin Yun's team, which leaped from the first ring road to the third ring road, left not only Wang Chunpeng on the other side stunned, but even the referees watching from above were dumbfounded.

As for Lin Yun?

He wouldn't stop and wait for them to react just because they were stunned. The third-ranked ten-thousand-year soul ring suddenly released a deep black light that seemed to devour everything.

At the same time, the air around Lin Yun was also continuously compressed, and the dust on the field seemed to form a small tornado around him.

Seeing Lin Yun's actions, Wang Chunpeng and the other two, whose chrysanthemums had tightened, also reacted and quickly prepared to release their soul skills to interrupt Lin Yun's charging up.

But is this useful?

Lin Yun wasn't gathering power at all; he was adjusting its intensity. Even a casual strike from him could probably send Wang Chunpeng to the ICU, let alone a soul skill with a ten-thousand-year soul ring.

God knows how much effort he went through to avoid killing Wang Chunpeng with a single punch.

—The Heaven-Shattering Dragon Fist!

Facing Wang Chunpeng, who was rushing towards him, Lin Yun's right hand, which was at his waist, suddenly shot out, and a large amount of compressed air formed an air cannon, which suddenly slammed into Wang Chunpeng's body.

"Buga—!!!"

Wang Chunpeng screamed and was sent flying by Lin Yun's punch. He started bleeding profusely in the air and was completely unconscious before he even landed.

The referee was so frightened by the pitiful state of the innocent child that he quickly flew up and caught him, otherwise the referee was afraid that he would have been smashed into a pulp as soon as he landed.

After scanning Wang Chunpeng's body with his soul power, the referee breathed a sigh of relief. Wang Chunpeng had simply been knocked unconscious by the powerful air cannon, and while the amount of bleeding was a little excessive, he didn't actually have any serious injuries.

Wang Chunpeng's two teammates, feeling the strong wind whistling past their ears, froze on the spot.

One punch...instant kill?

How the hell am I supposed to fight this?!

Just as the two were hesitating about whether to admit defeat, Lin Yun's three spirit rings gradually dissipated, and he took two steps back to return to Xiao Xiao's back.

"You can handle those two. Good luck, my Xiao Xiao will definitely be the best." Lin Yun patted Xiao Xiao's head and encouraged her with a smile.

Aside from Wang Chunpeng, who has already been defeated and is a power-attack type Soul Master, the square-faced female student has a control-type Martial Soul, Willow Branch, while the skinny male student has a food-type Martial Soul, Sweet Cookie.

She still has some fighting power, but not much. In the original novel, Xiao Xiao, with Huo Yuhao's assistance, was able to hold her own against Wang Dong, so dealing with two people at the same time should be easy for her.

Xiao Xiao nodded, then summoned her Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron martial spirit and stepped out of the group.

Seeing this, Zheng Xiaolong also tossed out his lucky coin, unleashing his first soul skill on Xiao Xiao. Unsurprisingly…

The lucky coin lands tails.

Feeling the almost non-existent boost to her own strength, Xiao Xiao turned around and glanced speechlessly at Zheng Xiaolong, who could only scratch his head awkwardly and look away, pretending to be dead.

But it doesn't matter, they're just two one-ring Soul Masters, one of whom is even a support type, so Xiao Xiao has no pressure at all.

"Split, scatter!" Xiao Xiao shouted softly, and the huge Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron instantly split into three smaller cauldrons, which then scattered and crashed into the two people opposite from three different angles.

The skinny male student felt a tightness in his anus and quickly released his first soul skill, throwing a fist-sized orange-yellow cookie to the square-faced female student. Then he awkwardly dodged Xiao Xiao's Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron.

That was truly a sorry state.

Xiao Xiao's Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, before it split, was 1.5 meters tall, requiring two people to hug it. Even after splitting, it was still 50 or 60 centimeters tall. When Xiao Xiao controlled it to crash into people, it was as terrifying as a boulder rolling down a mountain.

The sheer weight of the cauldron crashing into him was so overwhelming that even though he wasn't hit, the skinny male student felt a gust of evil wind rushing towards him, and he jumped and rolled left and right to avoid it.

The square-faced female student's expression also darkened. The willow branch in her hand began to grow wildly. One of the three branches, like a tentacle, tied around the skinny male student's waist, pulling him away from the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron.

The other two willow branches shot towards Xiao Xiao and Zheng Xiaolong from the left and right, wisely ignoring Lin Yun who was watching the show from the sidelines.

Otherwise, Lin Yun's iron fist would probably have landed on his head in the next second.

This isn't cowardice or following one's heart; it's called being a wise person who knows when to yield!

But what she didn't notice was that Xiao Xiao's Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, which had split into three smaller cauldrons, was already distributed in a triangular shape in three directions around the two of them.

Xiao Xiao narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, and her first soul ring suddenly lit up.

"The cauldron trembles!"

After releasing her first soul skill, Xiao Xiao did not hesitate at all, and her second soul ring lit up in succession.

"The cauldron sways!"

A powerful shockwave erupted from the three small cauldrons, sending out almost tangible ripples that continuously impacted the square-faced female student and the skinny male student, causing them to show signs of pain.

The Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron is not a simple control-type martial soul; it has a certain degree of destructive power. Although its destructive power in terms of soul skills is very limited, it is enough to achieve control.

The two hundred-year-old spirit ring skills struck two spirit masters who were less than two rings at the same time, directly rendering them unable to resist.

Xiao Xiao's red lips curled up slightly, and she stretched out her right hand and clenched it tightly. The three small cauldrons, which were emitting strong vibrations, immediately rushed towards the two people who were being controlled with great force.

The next second, the three small cauldrons merged into one and disappeared from the spot, while the square-faced female student and the skinny male student had already been taken away from the arena by the referee.

Xiao Xiao wins decisively!
