Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect

As Xiao Hongchen watched Xu Sanshi's rapid offensive, his storage soul tool suddenly shone brightly, and a large number of metal balls flew out. As an excellent soul master, he decided to use the soul turret battle strategy to deal with Xu Sanshi.

After all, the vast majority of his strength came from his soul tool.

Xiao Hongchen directly possessed his martial soul, and golden light gradually emerged from his body. A golden toad leg also appeared on his buttocks. However, unlike before, the golden toad leg had ancient and solemn patterns on it, making it look extremely noble.

This is the external manifestation of the evolution of a martial soul!

At the same time, six spirit rings floated beneath his feet, and bright lights appeared one after another. The metal sphere beside him was instantly transformed into numerous spirit cannons.

Looking at those soul-guided cannons, Xu Sanshi silently raised the Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield during his sprint. He was a little puzzled. Logically speaking, judging from Xiao Hongchen's performance in the previous competition, the speed at which the opponent used the soul-guided cannon tactic should not be this fast.

Bang bang bang!

A massive number of soul-guided shells pounded towards Xu Sanshi like a tidal wave, leaving countless craters on the ground and flickering flames. Xu Sanshi weaved and leaped through the barrage, trying to dodge the soul-guided shells.

However, how could he possibly dodge all of the massive number of soul-guided projectiles?

Therefore, quite a few soul-guided cannonballs exploded on his Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield. The shockwaves surged, and the enormous impact forced him to involuntarily take a few steps back, while some cracks appeared on the Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield.

Chapter 337 Xu Sanshi's Decision

Xu Sanshi gritted his teeth, his expression growing increasingly grim. He felt that Xiao Hongchen's firepower seemed a bit too strong. If this continued, he might not be able to withstand it, and his Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield might even be shattered.

"If only my Xuanwu bloodline could be fully awakened, then my Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield could be transformed into the Xuanwu Tortoise Shell Shield, greatly enhancing its defensive capabilities. Even Xiao Hongchen's Soul Guidance Cannon would be unable to crack it in the slightest."

Thinking of this, Xu Sanshi had no choice but to grit his teeth and charge forward, continuing to close the distance with Xiao Hongchen. At the same time, he activated his defensive soul guide shield, a pale golden shield that could help him withstand some of the artillery fire.

Shrek Academy may not be as advanced as Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy in the field of soul tools, but in Xu Sanshi's opinion, it is sufficient for the competition.

After all, with Xiao Hongchen's Soul Emperor cultivation level, he is at most a Level 6 Soul Master, which means that in most cases, the opponent can only use Level 6 Soul Tools.

Even if it's the enemy's soul-guided cannon, it's estimated to be at most level six.

He was confident he could stop it, even with a mere level six soul tool.

Xiao Hongchen stared at Xu Sanshi, his sixth soul ring pulsating, the black light suddenly becoming even brighter than before, and a blood-red blaze appeared in his eyes.

As someone who has undergone a second awakening of their martial soul, their soul skills have been strengthened compared to before. After all, a second awakening of the martial soul means that the bloodline within their martial soul has been activated.

His martial soul is the Three-Legged Golden Toad. According to the legends in Douluo Continent, the Three-Legged Golden Toad is a divine beast. Therefore, in a sense, Xiao Hongchen's martial soul does indeed have the bloodline of a divine beast.

"Sixth Soul Skill! Metal Control!"

He reached out and gripped Xu Sanshi's hand. A cracking sound came from Xu Sanshi's body, and then his soul-guiding shield shattered. The rare metal that forged the soul-guiding shield melted into liquid and then solidified into several swords made of rare metal. They reflected a sharp, cold light in the sunlight and attacked Xu Sanshi.

The ear-piercing sound of something cutting through the air, like a death knell, echoed in Xu Sanshi's ears.

Xu Sanshi was shocked. He hadn't expected that his opponent could shatter his level six defensive soul guide shield with just a soul skill, and that the opponent could also control the metal used to forge the soul guide. This had never happened before in any previous competition.

If Xiao Hongchen can dismantle the enemy's soul tool, then is there any need for other people's soul tools to exist?

On the high platform.

Xu Tianran involuntarily gripped the armrest of the chair, his face showing amazement: "Master Jing, you have a good grandson! Xiao Hongchen can actually use soul skills to destroy the opponent's soul tool and control the rare metals that forged the soul tool. Wouldn't he be invincible against the other soul masters?"

Furthermore, I've noticed that his martial spirit seems somewhat different from before. Hall Master Mirror, could you please explain this?

Jing Hongchen immediately forced a smile and explained, "Your Highness, Hongchen is quite lucky. His martial soul bloodline has evolved, so his martial soul has evolved. Under these circumstances, the effect of his soul skills has naturally been enhanced."

Hearing this, Xu Tianran did not press further. After all, luck is a very elusive thing. Even in the history of the Sun Moon Empire, there were some people who, because of good luck, obtained some opportunities that greatly improved their strength.

Xu Sanshi's gaze turned serious. The threat of the metal sword and the soul-guided cannonball was imminent, and he had to come up with countermeasures to withstand the attack.

Second Soul Skill: Xuanming Shield Formation!

The Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield in his hand instantly increased to three times its original size. Of course, the increase was only superficial; in reality, the number of Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shields suddenly increased, forming a huge shield, like a shield array.

Bang bang bang!

The soul-guided cannonball exploded, producing blinding flames and a powerful shockwave, but he managed to block it with his Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield. The metal swords were different; they would normally have struck the enlarged Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield, but now, under Xiao Hongchen's mental command, they bypassed the shield and attacked Xu Sanshi's vulnerable back.

If hit, Xu Sanshi will inevitably be injured.

"Not good." Xu Sanshi gritted his teeth, his first soul ring rippled, and a yellow light appeared. He was about to use his first soul skill, Xuanming Zhen. Soon, a large amount of black light spread out in all directions from the Xuanming Turtle Shell Shield, covering a range of ten meters.

The metal swords were instantly repelled by the black aura and could not get close, giving Xu Sanshi a chance to catch his breath. But then came the barrage of soul-guided cannonballs.

Smoke and dust filled the air, with faint flickering flames.

Xiao Hongchen looked quite relaxed at the moment. Before the sealed milk bottle he was carrying ran out, he would not have any trouble with the consumption of soul power, so he did not need to consider the consumption of soul power when using soul-guided cannons.

As for the consumption of soul-guided cannonballs, he had a bunch of storage soul-guided devices with him, which were filled with soul-guided cannonballs and various rare metals.

He could bombard Xu Sanshi all day long if he wanted to; this was a benefit of the development of soul-guided technology, allowing him to indiscriminately bombard the ground.

After a while, Xu Sanshi spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turned pale, and his breathing became rapid.

He was starting to feel the strain; he knew that if things continued like this, he would definitely be crushed by the soul-guided cannonballs.

After all, his soul power is limited. As for the milk bottle... Shrek Academy did manage to buy it, and it could be used to replenish soul power, but the problem is that the Sun Moon Empire also imposes export controls on milk bottles.

Only a very small number of low-grade baby bottles will make it to the auction.

Even with Xu Sanshi's status, he currently only has one level-four baby bottle, which Dean Yan Shaozhe obtained from that stingy Dean Qian Duoduo. Of course, the reason why Qian Duoduo is stingy in this regard is mainly because he wants to independently develop baby bottles.

“I told Nan Nan that I would win, so I absolutely cannot lose. After all, if I lose, Nan Nan might think I'm just a man who talks big.”

He gritted his teeth, thinking that he had no choice but to use his trump card, Xuanming, to replace it. Otherwise, he might not even be able to get through this hurdle, let alone defeat Huo Yuhao.

Thinking of this, he gave up carrying the cannon and instead ran towards the edge of the arena. Perhaps because the battles these days had been too intense, the Sun Moon Empire had specially reinforced the arena to ensure that the contestants' battles could only damage the arena, but not destroy it.

Therefore, the competition table as a whole did not suffer any major damage.

Soon, Xu Sanshi reached the edge of the competition platform, and then he leaped off as if he were about to jump off the platform.

Chapter 338 The Invincible San Shi Has Fallen

This scene surprised Xu Tianran as well.

"Is Xu Sanshi trying to admit defeat in this way? No, doing so would damage Shrek Academy's reputation. These people from Shrek Academy value the honor of Shrek Academy extremely highly. Even if they were to admit defeat to preserve their strength, they would never do it in this way."

Because of Huo Yuhao's previous reminder, Xiao Hongchen on the competition stage had already seen through Xu Sanshi's scheme. He was ready to play along, so when Xu Sanshi reached the edge of the competition stage and jumped off...

He continued to bombard Xu Sanshi with soul-guided cannonballs.

There was no problem with the opponent's Xuanming Replacement targeting him, who was also a Soul Emperor. Since he couldn't interrupt Xuanming Replacement, he would use it to deliver a fatal blow to Xu Sanshi.

Xu Sanshi confidently activated the Xuanming Displacement. The next moment, his position and Xiao Hongchen's position were switched. Xiao Hongchen fell downwards, looking as if he hadn't reacted yet.

Xu Sanshi had already made preparations. As soon as he landed, he used his level-six flying soul tool to rush towards Xiao Hongchen. So, in a very short time, he appeared beside Xiao Hongchen.

He then activated the Xuanming Zhen, and a black halo spread out. He attempted to deliver a fatal blow to Xiao Hongchen, causing him to fall completely off the stage and lose the match.

"Hahaha, Xiao Hongchen, get down here." He could already imagine that Jiang Nannan's attitude towards him had changed because of his victory.

After all, Jiang Nannan, as a "senior" of Shrek Academy, had undergone Shrek Academy's unique "education of gratitude," and had the idea that she would not hesitate to sacrifice her own future to defend Shrek's eternal glory.

As long as I uphold Shrek Academy's eternal glory, the other party will definitely look at me with new respect. As long as Jiang Nannan's attitude towards me changes, then my relationship with Jiang Nannan can gradually improve.

That way, you can explain some things to the other party.

However, when he saw the smile on Xiao Hongchen's face, he was immediately puzzled. After all, in his mind, the other party should be extremely flustered at this moment.

The next moment, Xiao Hongchen was affected by the effect of the Xuanming Shock, but his body did not fall towards the arena outside the competition stage. Xiao Hongchen, who was prepared in advance, used the force of the shock to use the flying soul tool he had prepared in advance to rush upward.

Xu Sanshi was dumbfounded, feeling that the situation was now out of his control.

"Xu Sanshi, you don't actually think that Xuanming Displacement is useful to me, do you? It's just a soul skill that swaps positions; there's no need to hide it until now." As Xiao Hongchen spoke, he raised a large number of soul-guided cannons and aimed them at Xu Sanshi.

Xu Sanshi was stunned for a moment, because even though not many people in Shrek Academy knew about his Xuanming Replacement Soul Skill, only Bei Bei and Jiang Nannan among the students knew about it.

The reason why Beibei knew that he had this soul skill was because he and Beibei were good friends, had spent a lot of time together, and had fought quite a few times.

As for Jiang Nannan knowing about this soul skill, it was mainly because he had shown it to the other party for the purpose of showing off.

"The academy's elders couldn't have leaked this information, and Nan Nan, who is indifferent to me, would never do such a thing. Could it be that Bei Bei betrayed me and leaked this information to the Sun Moon Empire?" This thought popped into Xu Sanshi's mind.

To be honest, he understood Beibei's personality and knew that she would never do such a thing under normal circumstances, but Beibei was clearly in an abnormal state right now.

After all, Tang Ya's whereabouts remain unknown since her disappearance.

If the Sun Moon Empire were to capture Tang Ya and use her to threaten Bei Bei into revealing her secrets, given Bei Bei's personality, Tang Ya's safety would be his top priority, and everything else would have to take a backseat.

So Beibei only hesitated and struggled for a while before revealing her secret.

In that instant when he was stunned, a large number of soul-guided cannonballs were bombarded towards Xu Sanshi as if they were free. The sharp whistling sound of the cannonballs cutting through the air instantly made Xu Sanshi realize that he was still in the competition and should not think too much at this time.

So he quickly raised the Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield, trying to further defend against the attack, but he also needed to consume soul power to activate his soul skills. Once he ran out of soul power, he couldn't even use his soul skills.

Xiao Hongchen's offensive was extremely swift. Relying on the relentless bombardment of the soul tool, Xu Sanshi, who had not yet awakened the Xuanwu bloodline, finally could not withstand it. A moment later, his Xuanming Turtle Shell Shield was shattered, and he was blasted off the competition stage, landing on the ground covered in blood, looking at the clear blue sky with a melancholy expression.

Looking at the fallen Xu Sanshi, Xiao Hongchen said, "Xu Sanshi, you were truly delightful. I will probably never forget you for the rest of my life."

"I've already said it before, if you can't even beat me, don't even think about fighting Yuhao. After all, Yuhao is much stronger than me. If you want to fight Yuhao, you're 20,000 years too early!"

To be honest, Xu Sanshi was the strongest young man he had ever encountered in terms of defense, relying solely on his own martial spirit and soul skills. Even he took some time to defeat Xu Sanshi, and Xu Sanshi's arrogant words had left a deep impression on him.

The referee immediately flew over, beaming with joy, and announced loudly, "The winner is Xiao Hongchen! Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, please arrange for the next contestant to appear."

Xiao Hongchen sat cross-legged on the competition stage, using a sealed milk bottle to restore his soul power and recover some physical strength through rest, looking like he was waiting for the next Shrek Academy contestant to appear.

......

Xu Sanshi was sent back to the Shrek Academy waiting area. He Caitou immediately ran over from the Tang Sect waiting area and stuffed a Resurrection Silver Cigar into Xu Sanshi's mouth to treat his external injuries.

"Sanshi!" Cai Meier looked at Xu Sanshi with a helpless expression. "Since your Xuanming Replacement has already failed, why didn't you just admit defeat? That way, you could preserve the academy's strength."

Xu Sanshi's complexion had improved somewhat. He held a Resurrection Silver cigar in his mouth and said righteously, "Dean, I am a member of Shrek Academy. I can lose standing up, but I absolutely cannot admit defeat voluntarily."

"However, I actually lost to Xiao Hongchen. This is all because an insider leaked information, which allowed Xiao Hongchen to obtain the information about the Xuanming Replacement in advance. I request that the academy conduct a thorough investigation into this matter."

He didn't say that he suspected Bei Bei, after all, Bei Bei's identity was special, as the other party was the great-grandson of Elder Mu, the master of the Sea God Pavilion!

“Alright, once we get back to the academy, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly,” Cai Meier said, holding Xu Sanshi’s hand.

Xu Sanshi was quite moved, but he quickly realized that the most important thing at the moment was to win the match, so he said, "Dean Cai, Xiao Hongchen's strength just now was quite good. I think that if we want to win the match with certainty, we will have to use some special methods."

"By using special methods, Xiao Hongchen will undoubtedly lose! We can then face our next opponent. Shrek's eternal glory cannot be shaken by anyone!"

Chapter 339 Mother and Child Soul-Chasing Deadly Courage

Upon hearing these words, Cai Meier immediately fell silent.
