Douluo Continent: A Sister Who Loves Me From the Start

Below the seventh ring, Soul Masters have an advantage over Soul Masters, and He Caitou is no ordinary fourth-level Soul Master. It can be said that without the prodigy Shen Yumo, he would be the hope of the entire Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department and the only candidate to carry out the Extreme Individual Soldier Plan.

In terms of soul tools, his skill far surpasses that of Shen Yumo at present. Moreover, he is currently using the War Water, the most powerful soul tool cannon among soul tools, unleashing all his attack power in an instant. This has an immediate and remarkable effect.

Although Qianling Academy's tactics were not bad, their battle formation had a fatal flaw: they were extremely passive at the beginning and could not put pressure on their opponents.

He Caitou's attack began as he walked forward; the system of the soul-guided turret was completed in that short time, with his muscles moving rapidly. It was unleashed suddenly, taking only three seconds from turret construction to firing. This speed shocked the members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy below the stage, causing them to stand up in astonishment.

Even among them, almost no one could construct a soul-guided turret at such a speed! Not to mention a level four soul-guided turret that is so complex and so terrifyingly powerful.

It could be said that, thanks to the numerical advantage of his attacking soul tools, He Caitou almost unleashed the power of a level 5 soul tool turret from a level 4 one. He had never used such an offensive tactic in his previous sparring sessions with his companions.

Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi, who were originally preparing to unleash their full power, only reacted after a brief moment of stunned silence. The light from their collectively emitted soul tools also dimmed.

The light dimmed, and Shen Ce barely managed a leap, using the protective shield behind him to return to the arena. However, his outfit was now tattered, revealing the inner armor underneath.

The inner armor shattered with a clang and slipped off instantly, leaving Shen Ce's upper body completely naked. He gasped for breath, only managing to stay upright thanks to the support of the Thousand-Strike Spear.

He Caitou spat out the burnt-out soul power amplification cigar in his mouth, curled his lip, and said, "Not bad. What a pity about this level 5 defensive soul tool. No wonder it could block my attack. You are the first Soul King to withstand the full force of my soul turret's attack and still be standing. Let's go again."

Hearing this, Shen Yumo smiled, and Jiang Nannan also chuckled. This He Caitou, who usually seems honest and upright, actually knows how to do such crazy things at this point.

Shen Yumo smiled without saying a word as she rose into the air, her gaze thoughtful and smiling. The battle was about to turn out one-sided, without a doubt.

As he spoke, his circular base shifted, and all sixty-four attack soul tools within it began to vibrate rhythmically. His turret could actually rotate 360 ​​degrees. However, he only slightly adjusted the muzzle before aiming it at Fei Yuyan on the arena. No, to be precise, at the Blazing Tiger Martial Soul released by Fei Yuyan.

"Brothers, what are you waiting for?" He Caitou shouted. Just when everyone thought he needed to catch his breath after his all-out attack, the terrifying light from the cannon barrel shone brightly again.

Startled, Fei Yuyan leaped onto her Blazing Tiger Martial Soul, which then turned tail and ran. She didn't possess a level-five defensive soul tool!

"Don't panic, he can't attack twice in a row!" At this moment, Shen Ce, as the captain, demonstrated his strength, not only in terms of cultivation but also in terms of experience.

That's right. No matter what, He Caitou was just a Soul Master. Even if he was very strong, after suppressing a Soul King with all his might and almost killing him, how could he possibly repeat the previous attack? However, the fear of death is human nature. Although Shen Ce's reminder was timely, the intimidating power of He Caitou's metal cannon was too strong, so much so that the members of the Thousand Spirits Advanced Soul Master Academy still became confused.

Just then, a tall, slender figure quietly appeared behind Yang Ming, one of the four Spirit Shield Soul Masters.

Yang Ming felt his body suddenly become heavy, as if his weight had increased several times over. His body stiffened as he tried to move, and then a great force came from behind him...

……

Chapter 175 Reluctantly Taking Action

Earlier, while Shen Yumo was deep in thought, Jiang Nannan became somewhat agitated. She expressed her desire to contribute and do something for the team, leaving Shen Yumo with no choice but to agree...

His body stiffened instantly, and then a strong force came from behind. A pair of slender hands grabbed his throat, and something hard pressed against his lower back.

The next moment, everyone saw Yang Ming's body suddenly fly up and fly straight off the competition stage.

Jiang Nannan made her move. Her second soul skill, Gravity Control, plus her first soul skill, Waist Bow.

Even under normal circumstances, Yang Ming might not be able to dodge it, let alone when he was injured.

Shen Yumo gazed at the graceful figure in the arena, lost in thought...

"I'll do it!" A sweet shout rang out, and someone from the already somewhat chaotic Thousand Spirits team finally stepped forward.

She was equally shocked by what had happened, but as the team's vice-captain, the team needed her to unleash her power at this moment. She was An Lengye, who possessed the Frost Bear Martial Soul.

An Lengye's summoned Frost Bear strode forward, making a mid-air grabbing motion, and caught Yang Ming, who was about to fall off the stage after being thrown by Jiang Nannan. And that wasn't all.

An Lengye's fourth spirit ring suddenly shone brightly. The Frost Bear roared fiercely. A dense chill burst forth. An Lengye's long blue hair turned white, and even his eyes turned a frigid, icy white. The cold wind in the air instantly transformed into a massive frost tornado, sweeping out and blocking Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and Jiang Nannan, before directly heading towards He Caitou.

Just then, Shen Yumo, who had witnessed all of this, suddenly shuddered, a booming sound echoing in his mind. His eyes were fixed on the frost tornado that seemed to be raging in his direction. Suddenly, he remembered something, and a hint of crimson appeared in his eyes. The unintentional release of a trace of killing intent made the atmosphere in the room instantly turn cold.

His breathing became increasingly rapid as he recalled the grandfather and daughter he encountered when he first left the far north, the familiar aura of ice and snow, and the familiar Ice Bear Martial Soul! And that old man who wanted to kill him!

After a long while, Shen Yumo finally let go of the coldness in her eyes. So be it. So many years have passed, whether the other party still remembers her is another matter. Why be so persistent? Heh, if she is lucky enough to meet that old man, then she shouldn't blame herself.

Fei Yu Yan finally played her due role, and the previous amplification appeared once again. Not only that, she also rode the Fiery Tiger to Shen Ce's front to avoid being ambushed.

Shen Ce's target was none other than Huo Yuhao, who had disrupted his attack plan earlier, causing the Thousand Strike Spear to deviate from its original trajectory and hit his own Spirit Rhinoceros Shield. Having already given up hope of victory, he simply wanted to see just how strong his most mysterious and powerful enemy truly was.

The frost tornado blocked Beibei and the others' attack. Therefore, the Thousand Strike Spear, which was flashing with incandescent light and fully amplified by Fei Yuyan's Blazing Tiger Martial Soul, did not appear in Beibei and the others' sight until it pierced through the frost tornado.

Beibei shuddered, realizing that the frost tornado wasn't aimed at any of them, but at the blue-haired boy with the frost all over his body! Seeing this, they all turned their heads away, scoffing and ignoring him.

Faced with the all-out attack from Soul King Shen Ce, especially with the amplification of a fire-type control-type battle soul master, Shen Yumo's eyes lit up at that moment, and a piercing red light suddenly burst out. He made a gesture of grasping the sky with his right hand.

A bright crimson light shone from his palm, and at that moment, his eyes filled with bloodlust. A violent surge of soul power erupted from his body, and then, a shocking scene unfolded.

The blood-red 100,000-year spirit ring made its appearance once again, stunning the entire audience. The terrifying aura of the 100,000-year spirit beast even caused the protective barrier around the arena, erected by the combined efforts of 108 spirit masters, to tremble violently.

The overwhelming power and majesty around Shen Yumo seemed to freeze the air around her.

Holding immense destructive power in his hands, he charged straight at the raging frost tornado like an arrow released from a bow.

With a thunderous roar, a dazzling ball of blood-red light appeared in his hand, closely adhering to the patterns on the demonic blade. Its immense destructive power made everyone on the field gasp for breath.

A reckless act occurred: gripping the sword in one hand, he slashed fiercely at the whirlwind below, the strike carrying immense soul power, seemingly capable of tearing the heavens apart. Boom!

Two explosions rang out, and the place where the tornado had been was nowhere to be seen, only ice shards scattered all over the ground!

Suddenly, Shen Yumo raised her eyes, revealing terrifying scarlet eyes. The next moment, her figure flashed, and two soul rings, one yellow and one black, suddenly lit up behind her. The demonic blade in her hand immediately changed its trajectory, with a faint mist flowing around the blade. She held the blade horizontally in front of her and crashed straight into the ice bear.

All of this happened so fast. In the eyes of Shen Ce and the others, Shen Yumo's figure was as ethereal as a ghost. When he disappeared, it was also the moment the frost tornado exploded, which was unbelievable.

Then, the audience witnessed a scene they would never forget. The raging frost tornado froze in that instant. Shen Yumo remained a dozen meters behind the ice bear, still in the position of slicing it in half, her indifferent expression revealing not a trace of emotion.

In the blink of an eye, the ice bear began to tremble violently.

Not only that, Shen Yumo pointed her right hand at the Frost Bear opposite her, and the Frost Bear seemed to have sensed the most terrifying thing in the world. Its body trembled violently, and then... then with a "bang", it exploded into a slow-moving light and shadow, and actually disappeared into the air.

An Lengye groaned, spitting out a mouthful of blood and collapsing to the ground. In her memory before losing consciousness, the last thing she saw was Shen Yumo's expressionless face and his equally lifeless bloodshot eyes staring at her.

That look in his eyes... it's so familiar...

The four Spirit Shield Soul Masters fought with all their might, barely managing to block the remaining power of the frost tornado. However, at this moment, all their fighting spirit had vanished. They stood there dumbfounded, staring at the godlike youth opposite them, letting the blood drip from their previous wounds.

At the same time, he turned around to look at his captain, Shen Ce.

Shen Yumo stood there, the red in his eyes gradually fading. Compared to his other teammates, he seemed like a god who dominated everything on the competition stage.

This was his second time taking action in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament. The first time was due to the circumstances, and the second time was out of necessity.

……

Chapter 176 End of the Battle

This was his second time taking action in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament. The first time was due to the circumstances, and the second time was out of necessity.

After Shrek Academy's first match, almost every academy conducted in-depth discussions and research on Shen Yumo, who played a pivotal role in Shrek Academy and had unleashed a 100,000-year spirit ring. This was not only because of the incredible spirit ring Shen Yumo herself displayed, but also because Shrek Academy represented the most advanced and powerful spirit master force on the continent.

However, including the Sun Moon Royal Academy of Dynamics, no academy could arrive at a definitive answer after their research. In their eyes, Shrek Academy was like a veil of mystery.

How could a boy who was clearly not even fifteen years old possess the cultivation of a Soul King? And how could he possibly possess a 100,000-year Soul Ring? This was simply an existence defying the heavens. Almost everyone agreed that Shen Yumo's 100,000-year Soul Ring was real! It's just that no one knew how he obtained this 100,000-year Soul Ring, or whether it was fake. At least from the surface, including the aura of the 100,000-year Soul Ring, no one could see any flaws.

The main reason is that the domain-type soul skill, which is similar to stopping time, is too overpowered; people have no choice but to believe it.

They were all looking forward to Shen Yumo's next move. Everything happened too suddenly in the first match, but it's impossible for every match to be like that.

Sure enough, in the third match at Shrek Academy, this mysterious young man made his move again, and once again he shocked the entire audience.

When he casually shattered the Soul King-level attack launched by An Lengye, the Ice Control Soul Master, using the power of his head soul bone, and instantly destroyed An Lengye's simulated martial soul, all doubts turned into shock once again.

Even a Soul Emperor couldn't be this relaxed. The key is that no one could tell what soul skill he used.

Just as the members of the Thousand Spirits team wanted to describe him at this moment, he was the master. The moment he appeared, he dominated the game.

Could he really be a Soul King? And a Soul King with one of his five rings being a 100,000-year Soul Ring? Many academies have already begun to doubt their previous judgments. If this young man truly possesses such cultivation, then who in this year's, or even the next, All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament can rival Shrek Academy?

Beibei looked arrogantly at Shen Ce opposite her and said in a deep voice, "Do you still want to continue?"

Shen Ce looked at his teammates, who had lost all fighting spirit, and then at An Lengye, who lay unconscious on the ground. He sighed and shook his head. "We surrender."

Shen Yumo's brilliance almost overshadowed all her companions, but Shen Ce, who had been facing them head-on for a long time, could see clearly that whether it was He Caitou, who unleashed a burst of power that even a Soul King couldn't withstand from a Soul Guidance Cannon, or Xu Sanshi, a defensive Soul Master who used the power of a Soul Master to withstand the combined full-force attack of Shen Ce, a Soul King, and a Fire-type Soul Master, both possessed formidable strength capable of deciding the outcome of the match. Not to mention, the other members of Shrek Academy hadn't even really made a move.

On the Qianling Academy side, having lost their vice-captain An Lengye, a key combatant, and with their own forces nearly exhausted, even if the mysterious youth didn't intervene, they had no chance of winning. Continuing the match was pointless.

Shrek Academy wins.

At the referee's announcement, the seven Shrek Academy students lined up, bowed slightly to their opponents, and filed off the stage. Before leaving the stage, Shen Yumo pressed her palm against An Lengye, and the air could be vaguely seen to distort slightly. An Lengye groaned, finally waking up from his unconsciousness.

But when she looked at Shen Yumo again, her eyes were filled with fear.

Shen Ce quickly stepped forward to help An Lengye up, "Lengye, how are you?"

"How terrifying, truly terrifying. That is definitely a genuine 100,000-year-old spirit ring, I'm certain of it, I'm absolutely certain of it. I feel like I've experienced that terrifying pressure from the ice attribute before."

"Huh?" Shen Ce was taken aback. While helping her up, he asked in a low voice, "Are you sure?"

An Lengye, her face ashen, said, “When I was sixteen, I followed my grandfather to the far north to find a suitable third soul ring for myself. But we went too far. In the distance, we saw a bright green figure flash by, and that figure was incredibly fast. My grandfather’s first reaction was to tackle me to the ground and cover me with his own body. A full quarter of an hour passed before my grandfather slowly got up. At that time, I discovered that my grandfather’s back was covered in frostbite.”

"Grandpa told me that we had encountered one of the most terrifying beings in the far north, which was definitely a 100,000-year-old soul beast. But later, my grandpa and I met a boy who was only eight or nine years old, but he had three soul rings and he was extremely fast at running away! He even surpassed the Soul Master and was on the verge of becoming a Soul King! I suspect that the child was Shen Yumo!"

Later, Grandpa quickly took me away from the far north. Back home, it took a full year for me to recover from my frostbite. From then on, Grandpa never mentioned taking me to the far north to slay spirit beasts again.

"Although several years have passed, I can never forget the aura that the soul beast blew past. Just like the aura that the boy exuded when he looked at my Frost Bear just now, it was just like that little boy's back then, and his eyes were just like those of that 100,000-year-old soul beast."

Back then, after my grandfather and I returned, he told me that the reason we were able to return alive wasn't because the 100,000-year-old soul beast didn't notice us, but because we were too weak for it to bother with us. You could say we were lucky to escape with our lives.

And she repeatedly instructed me that unless my cultivation level reached the seventh ring in the future, I must never enter the Far North again. Unless I break through to the Title Douluo level, I must never enter the core area of ​​the Far North. An Lengye recalled the little boy from back then with a solemn expression, vaguely feeling that Shen Yumo was that boy. As for why the boy ran away, she didn't mention a word.

Shen Ce gasped, glancing at Shen Yumo's retreating figure as she left the waiting area. His expression was no longer one of defiance. He said in a low voice, "Alright, let's go. Let's go back first. Shrek Academy is indeed an existence we can't contend with! We can't even imagine it. I really regret not taking Shrek's entrance exam back then."

He had no doubt about An Lengye's words, because An Lengye was not only his girlfriend, but also usually very taciturn. He had never seen her talk so much before. It was easy to imagine the shock that the mysterious boy from Shrek Academy had brought her.

Little did they know that at this moment, everyone at Shrek Academy was also breathing a sigh of relief.

In terms of overall strength, the Seven Devils of Shi Yingke are really no stronger than those of Qianling Academy. Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, and Xiao Xiao Wang Dong are only at the third and second ring levels, respectively. In a team battle at this level, they wouldn't be able to play a significant role. So it's not that Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong didn't want to help, but rather that their efforts wouldn't be very effective.

……

……

Chapter 177 Debate

There was nothing they could do; they were reserve team members, and in team battles at this level, they couldn't play a significant role. Besides, not everyone is like Shen Yumo.

So it's not that Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong didn't want to help, but rather that their efforts wouldn't be very effective. They might as well just stay in the back to make up the numbers.

Therefore, Shrek Academy can be said to have won another lucky victory. Not only did they win, but they also maintained their mystique, not revealing their true strength. This will undoubtedly be advantageous in the upcoming matches.

However, Wang Yan was already starting to worry. Thousand Spirits Academy wasn't even their strongest opponent in the round-robin tournament. Would these young Shrek Seven Devils continue to be blessed with good fortune?
