Douluo Continent: A Sister Who Loves Me From the Start

At this moment, Blood Wolf was completely thinking about Xiao Xiao. This little girl was not only beautiful, but her strength and courage also inspired him, making him not even intend to take action.

"Xiao Xiao." Jiang Nannan, Wang Dong, Bei Bei, and their teacher Wang Yan couldn't help but call out from below the stage. Shen Yumo leaned against the wall, and when he saw what Xiao Xiao had done, his heartstrings were accidentally touched, and a hint of pity appeared in his eyes, because he knew the outcome.

This was originally a match that was supposed to be abandoned! But Xiao Xiao had no intention of giving up at all.

The arrow was close, and even Tang Xiaolei himself was moved by Xiao Xiao's fearless spirit. However, once the arrow was shot, he could not take it back.

Moreover, this concerned the honor of Zhengtian Academy, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and launch an attack. However, his gaze unconsciously drifted towards the referee.

That's right, it's the referee. The referee is already rushing over, less than thirty meters from where the two sides are about to collide. But even a Soul Saint at the seventh ring level can't teleport that distance instantly!

At that moment, Xiao Xiao's eyes lit up, and a dense white light suddenly rose from her body. Her two yellow spirit rings seemed to ignite, radiating a magnificent brilliance. The three spirit rings merged into one, coalescing before her and charging directly at the Blood Wolf.

A national treasure, the cauldron trembles, Xiao Xiao's strongest strike.

Blood Wolf's movements were ultimately slowed down, so much so that by the time he wanted to activate his skill, it was already too late.

A tremendous power, far beyond his imagination, suddenly erupted, and the shockwaves from the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron fully impacted him, leaving Blood Wolf in a stalemate.

Moreover, the location where the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron flew up was precisely the path that the Arrow of Destruction would inevitably take. Xiao Xiao used her strongest abilities to not only temporarily restrain the Blood Wolf that was closest to He Caitou, but also to block Tang Xiaolei's fatal attack.

"boom"

The violent roar seemed to shake the entire competition stage.

Tang Xiaolei's first arrow was even able to pierce a small hole in the protective shield, so how could his second arrow, which was mainly for destruction, be weak?

The terrifying explosive force shattered Xiao Xiao's Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron almost instantly. Having already unleashed its power of cauldron-shaking, the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron had no strength left to withstand Arrow Sky's destructive force. However, it acted like a fuse for an explosion, causing the Arrow of Destruction to detonate prematurely.

The aftershocks of the explosion also directly affected the Blood Wolves below, who were in a temporary stalemate.

When the terrifying explosive force descended, Blood Wolf felt surprisingly no anger. While he was fully activating his soul power to defend himself, he felt only admiration for the fearless little girl.

Yes, she did her best. A young girl whose cultivation level was not even at the third ring, she used her abilities to restrain a Soul Master, causing him to be injured by his companions, and also blocked an attack from a Soul King. Who could ask for more from her?

A Martial Soul is the foundation of any Soul Master. The moment the Three Lives Suppressing Cauldron shattered, Xiao Xiao felt as if he had been struck by a giant hammer. A mouthful of blood mist gushed from his mouth, and his forward-moving body collapsed. Blood spilled from his seven orifices. He had completely fallen into a deep coma.

"Ah!" He Caitou roared, his eyes wide with rage. In an instant, a burst of light erupted from his entire body...

……

Chapter 186 Bloodbath at Zheng Tian

With a loud bang.

"Ah!" He Caitou roared, his eyes wide with rage. In an instant, a cloud of light and blood mist burst forth from his body. The energy gathering that would normally take at least five to ten seconds was completed in a single moment.

The super-energy cannon instantly turned completely incandescent, and an indescribable sense of terror permeated the entire competition stage.

The 108 Soul Masters responsible for the protective shield almost instinctively channeled their full Soul Power into the metal pillar of the Soul Guidance Device in front of them, turning the shield a deep yellow color.

The Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron shattered, and Xiao Xiao collapsed to the ground, unable to rise. Tang Xiaolei was also slightly shaken, but he was, after all, a Soul King-level expert, and this match was so important to Zheng Tian Academy. In an instant, he adjusted his mindset, and the Purple Flower Bow in his hand opened and closed instantly.

Time was running out; the threat posed by He Caitou's super-energy cannon was simply too great.

Three streaks of purple light, aligned in a line, displayed a gradient of purple, with the first arrow being the most vibrant and the last the deepest. As the last arrow was released, Tang Xiaolei raised her Purple Flower Bow, which transformed into a ball of purple flame. Instantly, each of the three purple arrows also ignited with a burst of purple flame. The air before them was completely distorted. When the three arrows reached halfway across the arena, it coincided with the moment He Caitou's super-powered cannon exploded.

At this moment, everyone—from the audience watching from afar, to the various academy teams in the rest area, and even His Majesty the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire observing from the city walls—held their breath. They had completely forgotten that Shrek Academy was in the midst of the competition. Everyone's emotions were deeply moved by the sheer ferocity with which Xiao Xiao, using only two rings of power, resolutely and resolutely held off two overwhelmingly powerful opponents.

Everyone felt as if something was stuck in their throat, a feeling that was completely indescribable. In their eyes, the little girl who fell, spitting blood, was so strong, brave, persistent, and adorable. Even though she had fought to the bitter end, in the eyes of the audience, she was like an undeniable radiant light, attracting everyone's attention.

A magnificent white light appeared on the arena. It wasn't a beam of light, but a white sphere. The instant it was launched, a cross mark was placed on Tang Xiaolei's body. No matter how his body moved, the cross mark followed.

As the white sphere of light shot out from the super-energy cannon, the entire arena distorted eerily. To the spectators outside, the scene on the stage appeared to blur instantly, everything becoming indistinct. Those on stage—Blood Wolf, Tang Xiaolei, and the referee at the seven-ring Soul Saint level—felt as if space itself had shattered. It was as if their own bodies were breaking along with the space itself, a sensation so intense it nearly made them vomit blood.

Tang Xiaolei's eyes changed instantly, filled with panic. He, who had been absolutely confident in his attack, suddenly realized that his lock on He Caitou had vanished in that twisted moment. In other words, his strongest three arrows, fired in quick succession, had lost their target.

Yes, in that distorted air, three beams of purple light suddenly split into three, shooting out simultaneously in three directions, almost like the three vertices of an equilateral triangle. And He Caitou's position was exactly at the perpendicular bisector of this equilateral triangle.

Then, Tang Xiaolei saw the incandescent light magnify before his eyes. The entire sphere of light was only about a foot in diameter. But at that moment, Tang Xiaolei felt as if he couldn't breathe.

After firing five arrows, his soul power was completely drained. He had no more strength left to resist. He had originally hoped that his three arrows would break through He Caitou's attack and then defeat his opponent. But who could have imagined that this super-energy cannon could instantly alter the surrounding space?

At this moment, the referee, who had been shocked by the entire match, finally played his due role.

With a roar, the speed of the seven spirit rings—one white, two yellow, three purple, and one black—exploded, and the seventh spirit ring within him shone brightly.

With a deep roar, a massive, mountain-like body flew out horizontally, blocking Tang Xiaolei's path.

It was a colossal elephant whose entire body was covered in condensed armor plates. With that low roar, the elephant's body faintly glowed with the light of spirit rings, and the earthy yellow light transformed into a light screen, colliding fiercely with the super-energy cannon.

"Boom!"

Those who have never truly witnessed the power of the Super-Energy Cannon cannot possibly imagine how terrifying this deadly weapon is.

The Super-Energy Cannon shouldn't have been on the competition stage in the first place, because the pace of these Soul Master competitions is extremely fast, and the preparation time for the Super-Energy Cannon is far too long. Even though He Caitou not only damaged his own body but also pushed it to its limits, halving the Super-Energy Cannon's charging time, it still took this long. In a normal battle, he would have lost countless times already.

However, although the Super Energy Cannon has a long charging time, its power is equally terrifying. Within a certain range, it is equivalent to continuously compressing and condensing a Soul Master's Soul Power through its own massive and complex core array, finally concentrating it into a single point and then unleashing it through the cannon barrel.

Super-energy cannons are deployed in the military, but not in large numbers. This is because their attack range is limited, with a maximum range of only 500 meters. A highly skilled archer could easily disrupt their charging process. Furthermore, once a super-energy cannon is activated, it's like a small sun igniting within the army; it would be strange if the enemy didn't prioritize suppressing it.

"I did it! Xiao Xiao, did you see that? I did it!" The huge explosion didn't just come from the front; three more terrifying explosions also came from behind He Caitou, but these three explosions were completely covered by the explosion in front.

Amidst the deafening roar, He Caitou felt a surge of immense power behind him, lifting his body into the air and slamming it heavily onto the competition stage in front of him. He landed right next to Xiao Xiao.

From a distance, the arena had become dazzlingly beautiful. The deep yellow of the protective shield surrounding the arena had even turned gold. The expressions of the 108 Soul Masters all appeared somewhat solemn.

Different colored lights erupted from both ends of the competition platform: one side was a strong incandescent white, and the other side was purple.

The entire arena was extensively destroyed by the outburst of these two terrifying forces. The deafening sound could be heard even far outside the Star Luo Arena.

…………

………………

…………

End of Chapter 187

Two powerful forces erupted instantly.

The entire arena was extensively destroyed by the outburst of these two terrifying forces. The deafening sound could be heard even far outside the Star Luo Arena.

But for one person, at this very moment, the world is quiet. That person is He Caitou.

He collapsed to the ground, feeling as if his body had been completely hollowed out, with a strong cigar taste in his throat that felt like it was being cut by a knife.

The intense pain coursing through his body had left him somewhat numb. He struggled to ensure his face was directed towards Xiao Xiao as he landed.

At this moment, Xiao Xiao, utterly oblivious to the deafening roar outside, remained completely silent. Her face was deathly pale, her thin lips pressed tightly together. Her brows were furrowed, and faint traces of blood appeared at her seven orifices, conveying not only a gruesome scene but also an indescribable heartache.

In He Caitou's eyes, Xiao Xiao looked so adorable. In his heart, he still remembered the words Xiao Xiao spoke when they went on stage, words that only the two of them could hear.

"Brother He, do you have any soul tools that are extremely powerful and not subject to any restrictions?"

"There is one, but it requires a very long charging time."

"Shall we give it a shot? I'll buy you some time. I can't be sure I can buy you enough, but I'll do my best. We're also members of Shrek Academy, and we can't give up easily for Shrek's glory. Youth is no excuse."

“Xiao Xiao. But…”

"Don't say 'but,' brother. If we don't fight with all our might, we'll regret it for the rest of our lives. I'm a girl and I'm not afraid, are you?"

"Of course I'm not afraid, I'm worried about you."

"Don't worry about me."

I'm a member of the Shrek team, not some little girl! It's settled then!

Yes, it was these words that determined their actions on the field and the course of the match. At this moment, He Caitou didn't even know if he regretted it.

Struggling, he crawled to Xiao Xiao's side, bent over, and used his broad back as a roof to shield her from the falling dirt and rocks from the blasted competition platform.

"Little girl, I'll never let you protect me again. It should be me protecting you!" He Caitou felt a wave of dizziness wash over him. His back was constantly being pounded by the impact of earth and rocks. But even as he fainted, he used his elbows and knees to support himself, determined not to fall and crush the brave little girl beneath him.

The light from the competition stage gradually dimmed, its intensity fading first, but it still managed to drill three holes in the protective shield. Fortunately, the shield around the stage was quite sturdy; although parts were torn, not much light leaked out, thus not affecting the spectators outside.

The incandescent white light on the other side gradually faded. The giant elephant's body was gradually revealed.

Without a doubt, this giant elephant was the true form of the Soul Saint Judge's Martial Soul. It was he who shielded Tang Xiaolei from that fatal blow.

At this moment, even the referee, who had activated his Martial Soul True Body, was completely charred black. A massive fan-shaped area of ​​destruction had appeared on the arena in front of him. At its widest point, it was nearly forty meters wide, and the deepest point of the destruction, right in front of him, was five meters deep. Even the surrounding ground was covered in large, deep cracks. This horrific scene was truly shocking!

This is the power of the super cannon, even though it's still an incomplete super cannon.

When the Super Cannon was first developed, it was claimed that in a head-on collision, even a Soul Saint wouldn't be able to withstand it. This is the power of Soul Tools. A Five-Ring Soul King, with such a Soul Tool, might even pose a threat to a Soul Saint. But in reality, under normal circumstances, why would a Soul Saint give a Soul King such an opportunity to charge up and lock onto them?

This referee is probably the first unlucky Soul Master to withstand an attack from a super-energy cannon while possessing the body of a Soul Saint. Moreover, he was completely unable to retaliate while defending. Fortunately for him, this referee was a defensive-type Battle Soul Master. After unleashing his Martial Soul True Body, his defensive power was indeed astonishing.

The yellow light faded, and Cai Ban, whose Martial Soul True Form had been retracted, looked disheveled, but there was no anger in his eyes. Watching He Caitou shield Xiao Xiao from the falling rocks in the distance, he genuinely wanted to give these two Shrek Academy students a thumbs up!

Tang Xiao walked away from the referee, his face pale with tears. He couldn't imagine what would have happened if that attack had landed on him. He was also certain that while his three arrows were powerful, a direct collision with the super-energy cannon would have only resulted in one thing: an explosion. And his three arrows simply couldn't penetrate the cannon.

The referee turned and glanced at him, saying calmly, "I blocked the opponent's attack for you; you're now out of the match."

Tang Xiaolei shivered, realizing he was still in the match, and quickly said respectfully, "Thank you for saving my life. But, the outcome of this match..."

Just as he finished speaking, on the competition stage, amidst a pile of rubble and dust, a somewhat unsteady figure rose to his feet. His robust physique exuded power, and his appearance gave every spectator a sense of drama. He was Blood Wolf.

After being pinned down by the cauldron's shockwave, and further injured by the aftershocks of the second arrow from the Purple Blossom Bow, Blood Wolf was already somewhat wounded. Before he could even get up, He Caitou and Tang Xiaolei both unleashed their attacks.

Imagine this: three deadly arrows flying in from one side, and a super-powerful cannon exploding from the other. Anyone would be too scared to get up in that situation! All Blood Wolf could do was curl up, unleash his strongest defensive skill, and desperately channel his soul power to hold himself together amidst the terrifying explosions.

It was precisely in this state that he became the final survivor of the match.

With a leap, Cai Ban jumped over the large pit in front of him, checked He Caitou and Xiao Xiao's bodies, and put a pill into each of their mouths. Then he stood up straight and announced in a deep voice through the amplified soul tool: "As a referee, I shouldn't have any bias, but I must say that during this match, as someone who was part of it, my blood was ignited by a certain spirit. I deeply regret not being able to become a member of Shrek Academy in this lifetime."

"However, I must announce that the final survivor of this match is Blood Wolf from Zhengtian Academy. Zhengtian Academy wins. The two sides will now face off in a 2-2-3 match, with the score currently tied at 1-1. The winner will be decided in the final 3-3 match. Shrek Academy, you may send someone to pick up your team members."

……

……

Chapter 188 Well done!

……

The referee's voice was somewhat deep. As he announced everything, his gaze never left He Laitou and Xiao Xiao's bodies. And the instant his words fell, Wang Yan, Bei Bei, Jiang Nannan, and Wang Dong simultaneously rushed onto the stage, surrounding their partners.

Shen Yumo also took out pills and put them into He Caitou and Xiao Xiao's mouths. Then she signaled the others to carefully carry the two off the competition platform.

After the referee announced the victory, the audience fell into a brief silence.
