Douluo: The True Eye

A new day dawned, and the participating members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy and Shrek Academy stood facing each other on the competition field.

Their eyes met, seemingly about to clash with the force of lightning and flint, filled with animosity.

After the referee routinely announced the rules of the team competition, both teams were granted one minute for preparation.

The leading teachers of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy and Shrek Academy seized this final minute to rally their members and offer encouragement.

The one minute passed quickly, and the main referee of the competition, Tiansha Douluo, immediately announced: "Team battle members, take the stage."

Representing the Sun Moon Empire were Ma Rulong, Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, and four other fifth-level Soul Engineers.

Individually, the Martial Souls and personal strength of these fifth-level Soul Engineers were not particularly outstanding.

After all, the Martial Souls and cultivation talents of the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Engineers were inherently weak, but with the power of Soul Tools, they were fully capable of surpassing ordinary Soul Masters of the same level.

The members of Shrek Academy were naturally the seven who had participated in the top sixteen to eight matches, as designated by Wang Yan in yesterday's meeting.

At this moment, the audience was completely silent, as if afraid to disturb the battle about to unfold on the field.

After both teams had taken their positions, Tiansha Douluo said: "The rules of the competition have already been announced, so I won't repeat them. Both sides retreat and prepare to begin the match!"

Ma Rulong, the captain of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, stared intently at the Shrek Academy team not far away.

Although Gongyang Mo, who was appointed in a crisis, represented Shrek Academy as the team captain, Ma Xiaotao, with her dark red eyes and expressionless face, exerted even greater pressure from behind Gongyang Mo.

As the captain of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, he naturally knew about Ma Xiaotao's performance on the field and had specifically investigated her information.

A Soul Emperor whose Soul Power was even stronger than his, but who was not the core of the Shrek Academy team, either because Gongyang Mo's command ability and prestige far surpassed others.

Or because this Soul Emperor, Ma Xiaotao, had a very serious problem that prevented her from serving as the captain of Shrek Academy and rarely took action in matches.

Recalling the miserable state of Gu Zhu Jian after being defeated by Ma Xiaotao, and the information about Ma Xiaotao's Martial Soul, Ma Rulong had a general guess in his mind.

Just as Tiansha Douluo spoke, both sides retreated, until they reached opposite sides of the arena.

The formations of both teams were arranged as follows.

Shrek Academy's team was arranged with Ma Xiaotao taking the lead.

Xixi followed slightly behind her.

Beibei and Chen Zifeng were positioned on either side of Xixi, slightly behind.

However, Xu Sanshi, the Defense System Soul Master, was in the center of the formation.

At this moment, both sides were highly focused, and the entire arena held its breath, waiting for the upcoming match.

Tiansha Douluo shouted: "The match begins!"

Immediately, the Sun Moon Empire's formation changed instantly, arranging themselves in a line.

On Shrek Academy's side, Ma Xiaotao directly activated her Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul, her Soul Rings flashing alternately.

Second Soul Skill: Fire Bath Phoenix.

Third Soul Skill: Phoenix Wings Soaring.

Fourth Soul Skill: Phoenix Howling Sky Strike, Fifth Soul Skill: Phoenix Piercing Cloud Strike.

In an instant, four Soul Skills were activated alternately by Ma Xiaotao, and several colorful rays of light fell on Ma Xiaotao from Gongyang Mo's Rainbow Dragon wings.

Ma Xiaotao's speed, Soul Power, and already terrifying Fire Attribute energy surged again.

Brilliant golden flames erupted from Ma Xiaotao's body, and her terrifying power instantly climbed to its peak.

At this moment, Ma Xiaotao cut through the sky, drawing everyone's attention to her. Even the sun high in the sky was not as dazzling as she was.

Ma Xiaotao's figure was like a shooting star, dragging a long trail behind her, and even the air was distorted at this moment.

In an instant, Ma Xiaotao rushed across the hundred-meter arena, directly reaching the front of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy team.

Feeling the oppressive pressure, even the always arrogant Xiao Hongchen couldn't help but change his expression, and everyone felt the aura of death.

Ma Xiaotao didn't hold back at all, and she definitely harbored killing intent in her heart.

With the amplification of two Soul Skills and the assistance of the Rainbow Dragon, she even used the technique of Soul Skill fusion, superimposing the power of the Phoenix Howling Sky Strike and the Phoenix Piercing Cloud Strike. The power of this strike was comparable to a Soul Sage who had activated their Martial Soul True Body!

After the formation change, a Soul Engineer named Lin Xi was moved to the front, with a tall figure.

He held a shield-type Soul Tool in his hand, and a yellow light shield with a diameter of two meters extended.

Protecting him and the other members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy team behind him.

But a mere fifth-level defensive Soul Tool used by a Soul King, wanting to block Ma Xiaotao, who was comparable to a Soul Sage at this moment? Was that a joke!

Even the other members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy team behind Lin Xi changed their expressions drastically, and they all used Soul Tool barrage attacks to suppress Ma Xiaotao's impact, trying to reduce the pressure on Lin Xi.

But it was useless. These countless Soul Tool barrages, condensed from Soul Power and converted through Soul Tool cannons, were like mud cows entering the sea after touching the Phoenix flames on Ma Xiaotao's body, only stirring up slight ripples, but unable to provide any obstruction.

Then, there was no then. Although Lin Xi forcibly activated the three defensive and auxiliary Soul Tools on his body, wanting to hold Ma Xiaotao back.

But he didn't have a chance at all. Lin Xi's tall figure was instantly melted in the Phoenix flames.

Even the referee Tiansha Douluo was stunned, because he really didn't have a chance to go down to the field to rescue him in that situation just now.

Ma Rulong, standing behind Lin Xi, was furious when he saw his teammate die.

The scene just now was too fast, and perhaps Lin Xi hadn't expected Ma Xiaotao's attack to be so powerful.

Because according to the original plan, Lin Xi would first restrain Ma Xiaotao, then use a control Soul Tool to trade one for one, and finally use an Invincible Barrier to buy time.

But under the influence of tactical inertia, the Invincible Barrier on Lin Xi's body didn't have time to be activated, and he was directly killed by Ma Xiaotao.

Now it was too late to grieve. The well-trained members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy also seized the moment when Lin Xi blocked Ma Xiaotao with his life.

In an instant, three layers of fifth-level Soul Tool protective shields were activated.

'Break!'

'Break!'

'Snap!'

The first two layers of soul-guided shields were directly broken by Ma Xiaotao's soul skill aftershocks. The third layer of soul-guided shield was also full of cracks at this time, but it finally managed to block Ma Xiaotao's attack.

However, watching the flames dissipate and the cold, ruthless eyes of Ma Xiaotao revealed from within, everyone from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy couldn't help but feel a chill down their spines.

This woman is definitely a madwoman!

Seizing this opportunity, Ma Rulong manipulated his Level 7 soul-guided device, firing out a beam of golden-red light.

This was a Level 7 soul-guided device that he had personally crafted, adopting the most advanced concepts of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy. Its attack power was entirely concentrated into a single point, and each use consumed a significant amount of soul power.

However, a single strike was completely sufficient to break through the seemingly impressive but ultimately useless soul power shield outside the competition stage, jointly erected by one hundred and eight soul masters.

This was also why the soul skill choices of Sun Moon Empire soul masters typically leaned towards amplifying soul power, precisely because most soul skills were used to amplify soul power.

Therefore, Ma Rulong was able to use a Level 7 soul-guided device that surpassed his current level.

Moreover, thanks to the Sun Moon Empire's soul-guided device development being far ahead of the original Douluo Continent's three kingdoms,

Ma Rulong, as an elite of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, was actually a Level 7 soul engineer, surpassing his own soul power level.

The golden-red light was extremely fast and its power was difficult to predict. If one were to take this attack head-on, even Ma Xiaotao would not fare well.

In addition to this Level 7 soul-guided device, another beam of blue-purple lightning flew out from Ma Rulong's body, also emitted by a Level 7 soul-guided device. It grew larger and larger in the air.

Finally, it directly formed a huge lightning cage, enveloping the other six members of Shrek Academy in the distance, to prevent them from reinforcing Ma Xiaotao.

Ma Xiaotao snorted coldly, and the phoenix flames around her body surged again. Then, a solid stream of phoenix fire shot out from her mouth, directly colliding with the Level 7 soul-guided device.

Although Ma Xiaotao herself was only a Soul Emperor, Ma Rulong was also a Soul Emperor.

Moreover, Ma Xiaotao now had Gong Yangmo's amplification, although not enough to completely offset the power of the Level 7 soul-guided device, it greatly reduced the attack.

The golden-red ray grazed past Ma Xiaotao's body, but it could only be considered a minor injury.

However, after using two Level 7 soul-guided devices and three Level 5 defensive soul-guided devices in succession, even Ma Rulong needed to adjust his breathing to stabilize his soul power.

At this time, other soul engineers also used their defensive soul-guided devices to buy time for Ma Rulong.

Ma Xiaotao's cold gaze swept across the crowd, and then she soared into the air. Under her feet, the sixth soul ring, as black as ink, lit up.

Behind Ma Xiaotao, clusters of golden-red fire began to condense, then gathered into huge fireballs.

Sixth Soul Skill - Phoenix Meteor Shower!

Just then, Xiao Hongchen, who had been standing behind Ma Rulong, stepped forward.

Around him, rows of metal cannons suspended in mid-air aimed at Ma Xiaotao's direction above.

At this time, Xiao Hongchen was mentally excited, and with the flashing of Xiao Hongchen's second and fourth soul rings, countless golden light spots began to surge towards Xiao Hongchen in the air.

Immediately after the golden light spots touched Xiao Hongchen, circles of golden halo spread out from him, setting off circles of ripples, as if they were burning.

A strong metallic aura began to boil, merging into the muzzle of the one hundred and twenty-eight Level 5 soul-guided cannons, and the metal cannons began to burst out with dazzling light.

Seeing this scene, the audience under the stage couldn't help but exclaim.

Even Tiansha Douluo was extremely conflicted. In this situation, should he appear or not? This was really killing him.

Huo Yuhao quickly used the Eye of Truth to copy the soul skills Xiao Hongchen was displaying at this time. In his opinion, Xiao Hongchen's set of metal-controlling soul skills was much stronger than Ling Luochen's ice-controlling abilities.

Xiao Hongchen's five soul skills were all about controlling and amplifying metal, without any other related effects, but that was precisely why they were so powerful.

Ling Luochen, on the other hand, was not so pure. Perhaps it was also due to the Sun Moon Empire's special research on metal-based soul beasts and abilities.

After all, Shrek Academy was not specialized in ice-attribute students. So even if Xiao Hongchen was not a soul engineer, relying on this metal-controlling method, no matter what tactics he used, he would definitely not be weak.

As the metal element was fully charged, the cannons began to fire, and a terrifying soul power storm erupted!

Unlike the attacks of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy before, those dense soul-guided barrages seemed scary, but in fact they were just some Level 3 soul-guided rays.

After all, the members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, except for Ma Rulong, were only Soul Kings. If they used Level 5 soul-guided cannons, they wouldn't have so much soul power to squander.

Their soul power should naturally be used for tactics and strategy, rather than pure attack suppression.

But now, this soul power storm composed of soul-guided artillery fire was all fired by Level 5 soul-guided cannons!

Such a group bombardment, even if it were really replaced by a Seven-Ring Soul Sage, I am afraid that they would be beaten to the point of scurrying around with their heads in their hands, and even some weaker Soul Sages would probably be killed.

Under the efforts of these soul-guided cannons, Ma Xiaotao's strongest soul skill, Phoenix Meteor Shower, was also broken!

At this time, everyone in Shrek Academy had an extremely ugly expression. Only now did they realize how terrifying the so-called powerful combat power of soul engineers below the Soul Sage level was.

Now everyone knew that even if Ma Xiaotao could block this round of artillery fire, she would definitely be seriously injured and would definitely miss the subsequent battles.

However, one person stood up and shouted loudly: "Tiansha Douluo, you must save me!"

With a flash of black light, Ma Xiaotao, who was originally in mid-air, disappeared, replaced by Xu Sanshi's figure.

Unlike in the original work, without Huo Yuhao using spiritual detection sharing to provide guidance and assistance from outside the field.

Xu Sanshi, who had been prepared for by the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.

His Xuanming Displacement had no chance to affect the members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, who were covered by the soul-guided shield.

Therefore, now was also his only chance to contribute. After everyone worked together to break the imprisonment formed by the Lightning Prison soul-guided device.

He exchanged himself for Ma Xiaotao, in order to preserve her combat power, and Tiansha Douluo heard this and secretly thought it was not good.

But he didn't hesitate any longer, and quickly took action, timely blocking Xiao Hongchen's artillery fire that was about to bombard Xu Sanshi.
