Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Ten Ferocious Heavenly Horned Ant

"No problem, bring it on. Only by defeating me can you prove that you deserve to be the champion," Dong Qing said with utmost confidence.

He is confident, but never arrogant.

It should be noted that his greatest strength is never his so-called soul power level, but rather his earth-shattering, unparalleled divine power.

The Skyhorn Ant clan is born with the ultimate mastery of power and possesses an extremely powerful physical body. The pure bloodline of the Skyhorn Ants bestows upon Dong Qing the power that is enough for him to crush any enemy.

"Since His Highness the Holy Son has said so, then I, Bi Honglong, will not stand on ceremony. Martial Soul Possession!" Bi Honglong roared.

The giant lizard from the Martial Soul Mountain Range behind him howled as it lay on the ground, and then its body began to rapidly develop a yellowish-brown leather armor, clearly indicating its extremely strong defensive capabilities.

At the same time, a long gray lizard tail appeared behind him, with ferocious barbs on it, slapping the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.

"A martial spirit possesses him," Dong Qing said calmly.

In an instant, the golden Heavenly Horned Ant Martial Soul behind him roared wildly to the sky, and at the same time, an aura from an ancient top predator spread out.

A layer of pale golden armor gradually appeared on Dongqing's body, engraved with mysterious and ancient patterns. Two long tentacles on its forehead rose into the sky, exuding an aura of dominance.

At this moment, all the beast spirit owners present sensed the terrifying aura emanating from Dong Qing, coupled with the top-tier predator aura that the Heavenly Horned Ant spirit itself always exuded, causing them to feel wave after wave of palpitations.

In their hearts, they sensed that the golden ant behind Dongqing could easily devour and kill everyone present.

"Damn it, why am I trembling uncontrollably? Is the difference between my martial spirit and His Highness the Holy Son really that big?" A bead of sweat appeared on Bi Honglong's forehead.

He was unwilling to accept it!

They were unwilling to admit that the difference in the quality of their martial souls was so great, nor were they willing to choose to lose without a fight when facing Dong Qing.

Bi Honglong was always a student of the Spirit Hall Elite Soul Master Academy. Students who could be sent here by the Spirit Hall branches from various places were guaranteed to have a certain level of talent and character. At least there were no cowards who would surrender without even fighting.

"First Soul Skill, Giant Lizard Impact," Bi Honglong roared in a low voice.

A phantom of a mountain giant lizard appeared behind him. After he successfully located Dongqing's position, the mountain giant lizard rushed over at an extremely fast pace.

“Just a regular punch,” Dong Qing said softly.

Normally, he could exert 1,500 jin of divine strength with a single swing of his arm. But now, with his martial spirit in possession, his strength doubled, and he could exert 3,000 jin of divine strength with a single swing of his arm.

With this seemingly ordinary straight punch, the rapidly charging phantom of the mountain giant lizard was instantly halted, as if it had crashed into an indestructible wall.

See here.

The audience below the arena could hardly believe their eyes. It turned out that a Soul Master could physically withstand the Soul Skills unleashed by an enemy!

On the other side, not to mention Hu Liena, who was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth, Bibi Dong, who was wearing a mask, couldn't help but mutter to herself.

"Perhaps from today onwards, the throne of the number one beast martial soul in the world, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus, should be handed over to the Heavenly Horned Ant."

Chapter 22, The Elimination Rounds End

"Impossible, absolutely impossible, how could anyone withstand my soul skill with their bare body?" Bi Honglong said in disbelief.

Why should I...?

They were both first-ring Soul Masters, the only difference being their Soul Power level. He couldn't understand why there was such a huge gap between him and Dong Qing.

"crack!"

Dong Qing let out a low shout and exerted force with his fist again. After a loud bang, the phantom of the mountain giant lizard was shattered into pieces and completely destroyed by his punch.

As the saying goes, it is impolite not to reciprocate, and he is not one to enjoy being beaten.

"First Soul Skill, Gale Pursuit."

Driven by his own soul power, Dong Qing's figure rapidly advanced towards the direction where Bi Honglong was.

"Not good." Bi Honglong saw Dong Qing rushing over and saw him forcefully destroy the phantom of the mountain giant lizard with his fist. He knew that he was no match for him in close combat, so he turned and ran.

He seemed to be trying to use the same method Xiao Ying had used to defeat Bian Yuyu: stall for time to exhaust the opponent's soul power, and ultimately win without a fight.

Seeing that Bi Honglong was about to use this move, Dong Qing couldn't help but sneer, "Hmph, do you know why it's called Swift Wind Pursuit?"

He finished speaking.

Dongqing's two antennae on its forehead twitched slightly, pinpointing Bi Honglong's location once again, and its first soul skill, Gale Pursuit, was activated once more.

Swift Pursuit is a fast-paced pursuit-type soul skill. If the enemy turns and runs away during the activation of the soul skill, the soul skill can be activated again, only consuming a small amount of soul power.

If you really want to explore the difference between this soul skill and chasing enemies with your own feet, then Gale Pursuit is like installing a turbo engine on your back.

In the blink of an eye, about a second later, Dong Qing arrived at Bi Honglong's side with lightning speed.

"First Soul Skill, Gale Combo." He then threw a punch, and next to his fist, another fist formed of soul power was thrown out along with his.

This is the Double Strike Combo, where a single punch has double the attack power.

"boom"

A deafening roar resounded, unleashing a terrifying impact.

Even though Bi Honglong was wielding his martial spirit and wearing the thick leather armor unique to the mountain giant lizard, he was still blasted away by Dong Qing's punch and fell unconscious on the ground outside the arena.

Seeing this, the Soul King referee on the arena quickly jumped out. He reached out and checked Bi Honglong's breath, and his tense expression immediately relaxed.

The Soul King referee was genuinely surprised by the power of Dong Qing's punch and didn't react for a moment. Only after watching Bi Honglong fall to the ground unconscious did he begin to worry that the child might be dead.

However, you can't blame him for being slow to react. It's hard for anyone to imagine that a level 13 Soul Master could kill a Soul Master with seven levels higher Soul Power with a single punch.

"He's alright, just slightly injured, only unconscious. I hereby announce that the winner of the second preliminary competition is Dong Qing," the Soul King referee declared loudly.

As the final result was announced, the audience enthusiastically discussed Dong Qing.

"His Highness the Holy Son has won!!!"

"So powerful, so invincible. At such a young age, he can instantly kill an opponent with a soul power seven levels higher than himself. I can hardly imagine how far His Highness the Holy Son will go in the future."

"It seems that His Highness's statement that he would sweep all opponents in this year's primary competition was not an empty boast."

Dong Qing calmly stepped down from the arena and sat in the victor's rest area, quietly waiting for the next match to begin.

Meanwhile, on the other side, in the spectator area.

"Teacher, junior brother is so amazing, will you stop liking Nana in the future?" Hu Liena asked with some worry. She felt that Dong Qing's talent far surpassed her own, and no one of their generation could compete with him.

To be in the same era as him seems like a tragedy.

Sensing Hu Liena's anxiety, Bibi Dong gently stroked her forehead and said, "He is him, and you are you. How can you confuse the two?"

“But I feel that I am far inferior to my junior brother.” Hu Liena said with her head down, her two slender white fingertips poking at each other, but she still could not hide the sense of loss of being surpassed.

“Xiaoqing is a boy, and Nana is a girl. Boys are destined to protect girls, so Nana, don’t think too much about it now. The stronger Xiaoqing becomes in the future, the better he can protect you,” Bibi Dong comforted her.

She was not surprised that Dong Qing's martial soul talent surpassed Hu Liena's, or rather, she was not surprised that the strength of a male martial soul surpassed that of a female martial soul.

Throughout history, apart from the high priest of Seagod Island, the spokesperson of the Seagod, and the title of invincible in the ocean, Poseidon, only I have reached the level of a peerless Douluo at level ninety-nine.

Generally speaking, there are more male Title Douluos than female Title Douluos, and this ratio can even reach more than 300%.

The reason is quite simple.

That is simply because her martial soul talent strength is not up to par. This is also an important reason why Liu Erlong, who clearly has a mutated martial soul, the Fire Dragon, has been unable to break through to the Title Douluo level for so long.

"But teacher, shouldn't the older ones protect the younger ones? Shouldn't I, the senior sister, be protecting the junior brother?" Hu Liena asked, puzzled.

She was someone who hated failure and considered it a disgrace. She had always held a grudge about losing to Dong Qing.

Hu Liena had always hoped to win back her title, and having been taken in as a disciple by Bibi Dong since childhood, she took her successes and failures very seriously and could not allow herself to lose to any young genius.

But now, Bibi Dong said that Dong Qing should protect her in the future, which was hard for the strong-willed Hu Liena to accept. She always believed that it should be her, the beautiful senior sister, who should protect the weak and helpless junior brother.

"If Nana really wants to protect her junior brother, then you must work harder to cultivate your soul power, otherwise you won't be able to keep up with Xiao Qing's progress," Bibi Dong gently encouraged.

Although she didn't think Hu Liena would surpass Dong Qing in the future, it was still a good thing to make her work harder in her cultivation.

"Yes, teacher, I will try my best!!!"

After receiving encouragement from Bibi Dong, Hu Liena was immediately filled with confidence.

While the two women were chatting, the preliminary competition was still going on.

"In the third preliminary competition, Jiang Qianming faced off against Bi Jiacheng, and Bi Jiacheng won."

"In the fourth preliminary competition, Tian Zhengwu faced off against Qiao Baoyan, and Qiao Baoyan won."

"In the fifth preliminary competition, Han Zi faced off against Zhuge Yingying, and Han Zi emerged victorious."

"In the sixth preliminary competition, Wen Mengyao faced off against Shen Yuanqing, and Wen Mengyao emerged victorious."

......................

"The knockout stage is over. We'll have a half-hour break before the semi-finals."

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

This is enough time for Dong Qing and the other Soul Masters to recover their Soul Power, since their total Soul Power is only at level 20.

Chapter 23, Semifinals End

"In the first semi-final match, Xiao Yingxian defeated Bi Jiacheng."

"In the second semi-final match, Dong Qing faced Wen Mengyao, and Dong Qing won."

"Your Highness is bullying us!"

With red eyes, Wen Mengyao ran off the fighting platform crying.

"I....."

Dong Qing looked at his fist; he didn't remember actually punching it.

"In the third semi-final match, Qiao Baoyan defeated Han Zi."

"Yay! I won!" Qiao Baoyan was as happy as a little swallow.

Since there are now three people on the field, another Soul Master competition will be held, and Dong Qing and the other two need to draw lots.

One lucky winner will receive a bye into the finals.

"The draw is over. Dong Qing will face Qiao Baoyan, and Xiao Yingxian will have a bye."

When the final lottery results came out, Dong Qing began to doubt his own identity. Could it be that Xiao Yingxian was the protagonist?

"A tiebreaker match in the semifinals: Dong Qing versus Qiao Baoyan. The match begins," the Soul King referee announced loudly.
