Douluo: Not enough blood? Use your brain

Wu Siduo, having been struck by the skull earlier, was already wary. Now, she used Nether Spike again to evade.

Fortunately, this attack was avoidable.

She breathed a sigh of relief, but her gaze towards Mo Jue was still solemn.

The Dark Demonic Flames from earlier had landed on the stage, and their terrifying burning power had damaged even the interior of the rare metals, showing their might.

Calculating the intensity of the energy from the black skull that had initially entered her body, Wu Siduo judged the duration of this soul skill's effect.

Nether Spike flickered continuously, as she fought Mo Jue, a Strength-Attack System Soul Master, with her Agility-Attack System skills.

Normally, Agility-Attack System Soul Masters, with their speed advantage, could maneuver against Strength-Attack System Soul Masters for a long time, tricking them into using soul skills and depleting their soul power to achieve victory.

However, Wu Siduo wasn't hoping to exhaust Mo Jue's soul power in this way. Instead, she was waiting for an opportunity, waiting for the suppression within her own body to end.

Ten seconds.

Relying on Nether Spike, Wu Siduo endured for ten seconds, finally exhausting the energy of the black skull within her body.

But before she could rejoice, she saw Mo Jue across from her activate her first soul skill again.

Wu Siduo's expression turned ugly.

Chapter 150: Let's Fight!

Wu Siduo had naturally anticipated this.

In battle, this kind of tactic was easy to imagine, but there's always a chance of something unexpected happening.

Before Mo Jue used this tactic, Wu Siduo had been holding onto a sliver of hope that her soul skill had limitations, perhaps a significant restriction, only usable once a day or once every few hours.

But clearly, wishful thinking didn't prevail.

Mo Jue activated this first soul skill again after ten seconds.

"So, it seems the only limitation of this soul skill is that it cannot be stacked for increased effect."

Wu Siduo had managed to deduce some information about Mo Jue's soul skill, which would be helpful in the upcoming team battle.

Losing twenty percent of her soul power, which was one-fifth, made Wu Siduo, whose soul power level was already nearly a full rank lower, even weaker.

Wu Siduo, with her forty-third level soul power, could only be considered to be at around forty-first level, while Mo Jue's soul power was as high as forty-ninth level!

"Nether White Tiger!"

She didn't hesitate, activating her self-created Martial Soul Fusion skill immediately.

The battle unfolded as expected, and Wu Siduo lost.

A favored child of heaven, she had been a leader among her peers ever since her Martial Soul awakening, never suffering any setbacks during her cultivation, always displaying her heaven-defying talent with a victorious demeanor.

However, after arriving at Shrek Academy, she lost to Xu Yuan.

She and her four companions on the Teen Prodigy List had attacked together, a five-on-one situation, only to be countered and wiped out by Xu Yuan.

Without Xu Yuan even paying any significant price.

Such a blow was enormous.

It was only because she had come to Shrek with the idea that there were always people better than her, and because her mentality was indeed strong, that she could barely withstand it all.

Today, she had truly lost again.

Although Mo Jue was a third-year senior and her soul skill was quite restraining against her, she had still lost.

Mo Jue was also a Soul Ancestor.

A self-created Martial Soul Fusion skill didn't mean invincibility among those of the same rank.

Two crushing defeats forced Wu Siduo to face this fact seriously and begin searching for her own path.

Dazed, Wu Siduo walked off the stage, only snapping back to reality when Xu Yuan patted her on the shoulder.

"Her soul skill effect is disadvantageous to you, and she has a full nine pieces of battle armor, with their spirituality almost completely nurtured, fused into one. Her base strength has reached the Soul King level. Combined with her combat skills and the restraining relationship of her soul skills, it's normal that she won."

"Losing isn't scary. Knowing where you lost and correcting it later is what matters."

Wu Siduo took a deep breath and nodded.

"I should have been the one to go in this match," Ye Xinglan said from the side.

Her expression was serious.

Xu Yuan nodded and said, "Indeed, your sword intent is condensed, and Mo Jue's first soul skill might not be useful against you. But you need to understand that the difference in base stats isn't something that can be easily overcome. Wanting to achieve cross-rank challenges isn't something that can be achieved with willpower alone."

Cross-rank?

Increasing one's own burst power to be higher than the opponent's is one direction.

Suppressing the opponent's ability, suppressing their strength even lower, preventing them from unleashing their full potential, is another direction.

The so-called cross-rank challenges are nothing more than these two being the most upright methods.

Outside of these two directions, any other cross-rank battle is just luck.

"Your sword intent is very condensed, but your burst is still lacking. Remember what I told you before? Sword intent is also divided into types. Pure sword intent is just a sword and doesn't fit your Star God Sword. Excavating the attributes of the stars is also the focus of your cultivation."

Ye Xinglan nodded, remaining silent as she returned to her seat to ponder what Xu Yuan had said.

"Third match, Fang Yuan, you go."

Since the second individual battle was lost, Xu Yuan simply didn't follow the original plan anymore, abandoning the idea of striving for a complete victory.

Let Fang Yuan try a cross-rank battle.

He was a Control System Soul Master with the most comprehensive abilities. At this time, fighting across ranks would allow him to experience his own weaknesses in the most all-round way.

This was a very good self-examination.

More real than Wu Changkong's practical combat teaching.

After arranging the next match's contestant, Xu Yuan's gaze didn't focus on the stage but instead looked towards the third-year preparation area, watching Mo Jue, who had just returned to the third-year ranks.

Black Swan.

"I wonder if this senior is willing to help me cultivate."

The third individual battle was undoubtedly lost by Fang Yuan.

However, his eyes were bright. Although his soul power fluctuations were very chaotic, the light in his eyes was substantial.

It's good as long as there's a gain.

"Third match, third-year wins."

Cai Yue'er took a deep look at Xu Yuan's side, a hint of gratification in her eyes.

Not greedy for merit, not rash, this child is more steady than imagined.

The meaning of this battle has already been achieved.

"Fourth match, two-on-two small team battle, both sides send out contestants to prepare."

"Wu Lin, Le Zhengyu, you two go."

"Okay."

There was nothing to say about the cooperation between the two. Both were grand and imposing, one suppressing the enemy with Dragon Might, the other subduing them with Holy Light, both possessing the ability to pressure the enemy from their aura.

During this month, the two had cooperated many times, and they had also found some tricks for cooperation.

In fact, the cooperation between Le Zhengyu and Yuanen Yehui would be the best. One was a Holy Angel, the other a Fallen Angel. If they practiced with holiness and depravity as opposites, they could master combined skills that far exceeded their individual bursts.

Unfortunately, the two were not yet that familiar at this stage. The scene of Le Zhengyu pointing his sword at Yuanen Yehui, wanting to execute her on the spot, had happened not long ago, so naturally, they couldn't practice any so-called combined skills.

Moreover, Yuanen Yehui had just participated in the individual battle and was resting to fully recover her state, preparing for the upcoming team battle.

Therefore, the duo battle was a cooperation between the two.

The ending was already doomed.

With a six-year age difference, the difficulty of fighting across ranks was too great.

They lost.

Perhaps in another year or two, Tang Wulin and the two's rate of progress would be faster than the third-year seniors, and they would have the opportunity to fight across ranks, but at this moment, they had only been enrolled for less than half a year.

The duo battle ended, and the first and second-year joint team lost again.

The audience who had originally expected the first and second-year students to defeat the third-year students were disappointed.

Sure enough, it was easy for first-year students to defeat second-year students across ranks, but wanting to challenge third-year students across ranks was just a pipe dream.

The third year was a qualitative change!

To be precise, the process from the second year to the third year was a qualitative change.

"The last half hour of rest time. Both sides, please select the participating players for the seven-person team battle and adjust your state."

Third year.

Song Lin looked at Li Qiankun, the class monitor of her class.

"Teacher Song, don't worry, I will do my best."

"Teacher, I have also recovered to my peak state," Mo Jue also said.

Song Lin nodded.

She encouraged her seven students, then looked worriedly at Xu Yuan, who was meditating with his eyes closed on the opposite side.

Half an hour passed.

Fourteen people from both sides stepped onto the stage, each standing fifty meters apart.

"The match begins!"

Xu Yuan stood at the forefront of the team, his aura as deep as an abyss, without any action, without releasing soul power, and with his spiritual power hidden but not released, yet giving people a heavy sense of oppression.

Looking at the seven people on the opposite side, Xu Yuan felt expectant.

He was about to nurture his momentum, so he could burst out as much as possible before that.

His gaze shone brightly, his fighting intent so strong that it even affected the flow of the surrounding Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi.

The Heavenly Yuan Five Elements Spear entered his hand, pointing forward.

Circles of soul rings rose from under his feet.

Purple, purple, purple.

Only three soul rings, only three purple soul rings, yet carrying a heavy sense of oppression.

"Come fight!"

Chapter 151: The Final Battle Begins!

Three purple soul rings, a long spear, a teenager.

The heavy sense of oppression seemed to blend into the heavens and the earth, making people feel suppressed.

What a strong aura.

He hasn't even used Spear Momentum yet, and he's already beginning to affect the surrounding Heaven and Earth?

Ya Li's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.

This has already cultivated the Grand Momentum of Heaven and Earth to the second step.

Spear Momentum is a technique for mastering the Grand Momentum of Heaven and Earth. The first step is to master Spear Momentum, and the second step is to not need to release any Spear Momentum yourself. Every move is enough to attract the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi to gather, forming a momentum.

Further on, the third step is naturally to return to simplicity, without any difference, but to control the realm of everything.

Xu Yuan has obviously reached the second step now.

Being pointed at by Xu Yuan's Heavenly Yuan Five Elements Spear, the core members of the third-year team had solemn expressions.

The leader of the third-year team of seven was the class monitor, Li Qiankun, whose Martial Soul was the Qiankun Ball, a very rare mutated Weapon Soul, a Defense System, at the forty-ninth level!

In addition to Li Qiankun, there were also Mo Jue, Wu Rui, Ye Wu, Yuan Hua, and the Li siblings, Li Mengyang and Li Mengtian.

Ye Wu was a third-year member who had participated in the third individual battle. He was a wretched young man whose Martial Soul was the Flame Body. In the Martial Soul Avatar state, he had semi-elemental characteristics and could be immune to most physical damage.

The Li siblings had also appeared in the duo battle. The older brother, Li Mengyang, had the Martial Soul of the Flame Demon Lion, and the younger sister, Li Mengtian, had the Martial Soul of the Flame Demon Tiger. Their soul power was both at the forty-fifth level, and they possessed three pieces of battle armor.
