Douluo Continent: The Five Elements Lock Martial Soul, Five Elements Divine Might Transformation

"Alright, please follow me."

As they spoke, the group followed the cardinal to a high-end hotel and checked in.

To ensure Ling Yun's safety, Huo Li and Ling Qiufeng shared a room with him. This way, even if the Spirit Hall sent a Title Douluo to assassinate Ling Yun, they would be able to react in time.

After a hearty dinner, Ling Yun began meditating and cultivating to prepare for the finals the next day, and the night passed uneventfully.

The next morning, Ling Yun got up early and went to the square in front of the Papal Palace with the others.

At this moment, the place was packed with people, including not only the sixteen teams from the Heaven Dou Empire, but also the Soul Master teams from the Star Luo Empire.

For a moment, the two sides compared their strengths and weaknesses to see which empire's young soul master was superior.

Just as everyone was talking animatedly, an extremely terrifying soul pressure suddenly swept over, instantly enveloping the entire Papal Palace.

At that moment, the once bustling square fell silent. Everyone was trembling with fear, feeling as if they were being suffocated by a python.

"This soul pressure is... Bibi Dong!"

Ling Yun became wary; the oppressive feeling emanating from this soul pressure was far stronger than that from Chen Xin and Tang Hao.

In Wuhun City, besides Qian Daoliu, only Bibi Dong could unleash such terrifying soul pressure.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

A series of crisp footsteps approached from afar. Ling Yun looked up and saw a woman in a purple dress, holding a scepter, slowly walking out.

Upon seeing this woman, Ling Yun immediately recognized her as Bibi Dong, the current Pope of the Spirit Hall.

After Bibi Dong came out, she glanced at the crowd and instantly found Ling Yun. Looking at his slightly immature face, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, revealing a charming and captivating smile.

Chapter 85, the final battle begins, against the Plant Academy.

The moment their eyes met, Ling Yun felt a sudden tightness in his chest. He felt like a young white rabbit being watched by a terrifying beast, in danger of being bitten to death at any moment.

But perhaps because of Xue Qinghe, Bibi Dong did not attack him. After glancing at him, she looked away and then looked at everyone in the square, speaking in a melodious voice.

"Welcome to Spirit City, young and outstanding Soul Masters! You represent the bright future of the Douluo Continent!"

To be honest, Bibi Dong's speaking skills were quite average, but the sense of pressure she exuded made people dare not lose focus, and they all listened attentively, not wanting to miss a single word or even a single phrase she uttered.

After a pause, Bibi Dong continued, "As we all know, the Soul Master Competition exists to select elites. The fact that you were able to pass the preliminary rounds and the finals and come to Wuhun City proves that you are all elite students from your respective academies."

And this final competition is to select the strongest team, or even the strongest individual, from among you!

Now, I'm very curious! Among you, who is the strongest Soul Master, who can stand out from the many elites, become stronger, and ultimately lead this era, guiding the Douluo Continent towards a more brilliant and bright future!

I now declare the finals of this year's Soul Master Competition officially open!

wow

As soon as Bibi Dong finished speaking, thunderous applause rang out in the square. Although her speech was not very good, her words had undoubtedly ignited the passion of everyone present!

That's right. What Soul Masters pursue throughout their lives is to become stronger, and those standing here today are all geniuses from various Soul Master academies.

Geniuses are all proud, and like Bibi Dong, they all want to witness the birth of the strongest genius of this era.

I aspire to become that genius and leave a lasting mark on this era.

"Hehe, the strongest Soul Master team must be our Blazing Fire Academy!"

Huo Wu licked her fiery red lips, her eyes flashing with a frenzied fighting spirit. She then glanced at Ling Yun and continued to laugh.

"Because the strongest Soul Master of this era is in our team!"

Huo Wu sincerely believed that Ling Yun, who was able to absorb a spirit ring beyond his level, was the most monstrous genius of this era.

At the same time, a cardinal carrying an iron box walked up to Bibi Dong, and Bibi Dong stretched out her slender hand and took out two wooden plaques from the iron box, on which were written the names of various soul master academies.

Every time two wooden plaques were brought out, the cardinal in charge of the competition would shout a command.

"First Round, First Match of the Grand Finals: Blazing Academy vs. Plant Academy!"

"First Round, Second Match of the Grand Finals: Shrek Academy vs. Longkui Academy!"

"First Round, Third Match of the Grand Finals: Thunder Academy vs. Barak Kingdom Academy!"

"The first round of the finals..."

Like the qualifiers, the finals will also be a seven-player team battle. The difference is that the qualifiers determine the rankings based on points, so losing a game is not a big deal.

If you lose in the finals, you will be completely eliminated and miss out on the later matches.

"I didn't expect that we would be the first to play. I wonder if the Spirit Hall is targeting us and trying to test our strength with the Plant Academy."

Hearing the cardinal announce the battle order, Shui Bing'er's face showed a hint of worry. Although she was very confident in her and Ling Yun's strength, the Spirit Hall team's strength was still not to be underestimated.

"It's alright, Sister Bing'er." Ling Yun took Shui Bing'er's soft little hand and smiled confidently, "A mere botany academy isn't enough to make us show our true abilities!"

“That’s right, Lingyun, Bing’er, neither of you should participate in this match. Just leave it to me and my brother.”

Huo Wu clenched her fist and chuckled, saying, "In previous Soul Master Competitions, the Plant Academy has never won against the Blazing Fire Academy, and I believe this time will be no exception."

"Since Sister Huowu is so confident, then I'll leave it to you for the time being!"

"No problem, no problem. You two can just hold hands and watch the show from the sidelines."

Huo Wu said with a mischievous smile, which made both of them blush. Ling Yun quickly let go of Shui Bing'er's hand, and Shui Bing'er also blushed and lowered her head without saying a word.

After the cardinal finished reading the list of participants, Ling Yun immediately led Huo Wu and the others onto the arena. At that moment, the cardinal also announced the start of the competition.

In an instant, everyone on the arena released their martial spirits, preparing for battle.

When Ling Yun summoned the Five Elemental Locks and the five spirit rings appeared one after another, everyone, especially the spirit masters of the Star Luo Empire, widened their eyes in unison.

They couldn't believe that Ling Yun, at such a young age, had not only cultivated to the level of a five-ring Soul King, but was also able to absorb Soul Rings beyond his level.

Even Bibi Dong couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. Although she already knew that Ling Yun could absorb soul rings beyond his level, seeing it with her own eyes still surprised her.

"Hehe, luckily he's already one of my Spirit Hall's people."

Bibi Dong sneered, thinking to herself: Ling Yun, you are unwilling to join the Spirit Hall and serve me, but you never dreamed that Xue Qinghe, whom you serve, is my daughter. By siding with him, you are tantamount to siding with me, hehehe…

"I never expected that the Heaven Dou Empire would produce a Soul King this year, and that he could even absorb Soul Rings beyond his level. How interesting."

On the Star Luo Royal Academy side, a man who looked eight or nine parts like Dai Mubai raised the corners of his mouth and looked at Ling Yun with great interest.

He was none other than the eldest prince of the Star Luo Empire, Dai Mubai's elder brother, Davis.

"Hmph, so what if he's a Soul King? Our combined Soul Fusion Technique can even take down a Soul Emperor!"

Beside Davis, a woman who looked very much like Zhu Zhuqing sneered. She was Zhu Zhuqing's older sister, Zhu Zhuyun.

"Yes, you're right. If he were the only Soul King, Blazing Fire Academy wouldn't be difficult to deal with, but..."

Davis frowned and looked at the others from Blazing Fire Academy. What made him wary was that Shui Bing'er, Feng Xiaotian, and Huo Wu's auras were no weaker than his.

"If we encounter Blazing Academy in the competition, will we be able to achieve victory?"

Just as Davis was lost in thought, the battle in the ring had already begun.

Huo Wu chuckled and said, "Hey, you guys from the Plant Academy, you're no match for us. You'd better admit defeat quickly, or I'll beat you up!"

"Hmph, don't think you can be arrogant just because you have a Soul King." Captain Yao Zi sneered.

"Even if I can't beat you, I'll show you the power of our Plant Academy! Sisters, let's attack together!"

After saying that, Yao Zi took a step forward, and the Crimson Flame Thorn Martial Soul in her hand shot out with a whoosh, coiling towards Huo Wu and the others like crimson venomous snakes.

However, Huo Wu smiled and said, "Commendable courage, but unfortunately, the strong can be arrogant and domineering! Brother, let's go!"

"Third Soul Skill: Fire Resistance Ring!"

Chapter 86 The Golden Generation, Their Next Opponent

In the blink of an eye, Huo Wu used her soul skill immediately, and the third soul ring under her feet also flashed with light.

Then a blazing flame shot into the sky, transforming into a fiery tornado, and the scorching heat swept towards the students of the Plant Academy.

Just like the anime Ling Yun had watched, the participating Soul Masters from the Plant Academy were all young girls. How could they withstand Huo Wu's heatwave?

Faced with Huo Wu's flames, they couldn't even get close to her, let alone attack her. Even though Yao Zi's Crimson Thorns had some fire resistance, they still couldn't gain an advantage against Huo Wu.

"Brother, now's the time!"

"No problem, fourth soul skill: Flame Dragon Claw!"

Huo Wushuang shouted and immediately took a step forward like an arrow, while unleashing his strongest fourth soul skill.

Its thick arms transformed into dragon claws, wreathed in blazing and wild flames, and roared out to grab the girls from the Botanical Academy.

Apart from Yao Zi, none of the other girls in the Plant Academy had the ability to resist fire. In addition, Huo Wushuang was a level 46 Soul Master. Therefore, in just one encounter, three girls were eliminated.

Upon seeing this, Yao Zi was greatly alarmed and quickly gathered her soul power to control the Crimson Flame Thorns to entangle Huo Wushuang.

Fourth Soul Skill: Thorn Rain!

With her cry, crimson and green thorns sprang up from the ground, attacking Huo Wushuang from all directions.

Yao Zi's move was incredibly fierce, but Huo Wushuang showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, he charged towards the oncoming thorns at an extremely fast speed, his third soul ring flickering slightly.

"Well done! Third Soul Skill: Tyrannosaurus Fury!"

Before he finished speaking, his muscles bulged slightly, his body became stronger, and the strength in his hands increased.

Then he stretched out his dragon claws and grabbed at the attacking thorns with force. The dragon claws were as sharp as knives and tore all the crimson thorns to pieces.

While the two were locked in combat, Huo Wu used her soul skill to eliminate the others from the Plant Academy.

At this moment, less than a minute had passed since the start of the match, and only Captain Yao Zi remained standing on the stage for the Plant Academy.

Finally, the brother and sister joined forces and kicked Yao Zi out of the ring in an instant, ending the match in less than a minute.

At that moment, the cardinal in charge of the competition announced the results.

"I hereby declare the winner of this match to be Blazing Academy!"

These words shocked the participating Soul Masters watching from below the stage.

In such a short time, Blazing Fire Academy eliminated an entire academy with only two people on its side. It was as easy as eating and drinking.

High above the Papal Palace, Bibi Dong glanced at the three people behind her and said coldly, "Nana, what do you think of the strength of Blazing Fire Academy?"

"Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang's strength is not that great. The reason they were able to eliminate the Plant Academy so quickly is mainly because they can counter the Plant Academy's martial spirit."
