Douluo: The True Eye

Because of Ma Rulong's death in battle, the first round of the individual elimination tournament naturally came to an end.

The Skyfiend Douluo's expression was quite unsightly. He had arrived as quickly as possible beside Ma Rulong and Ma Xiaotao, preparing to rescue them, but in the end, he was still a step too late.

Because at this time, Xuan Zi had already left Shrek's resting area and arrived beside the arena.

Looking at the Skyfiend Douluo, Xuan Zi coldly snorted, "Quickly announce the results of the match."

"This old man must take this evil soul tool and our Shrek Academy's contestant back to the academy for treatment. If anything untoward happens, don't blame this old man for losing his temper!"

Because of Xuan Zi's previous pressure, the soul tool barrier formed by the joint power of one hundred and eight soul masters on the arena had already fallen apart.

Therefore, Xuan Zi simply waved his hand. With Ma Rulong's death, the Sword of Judgment that had fallen to the ground came into Xuan Zi's hand. At the same time, Xuan Zi's other hand also grabbed Ma Xiaotao, whose evil fire had completely subsided.

Looking at Ma Xiaotao, who seemed to be unconscious, Xuan Zi simply shook his head. White soul power covered Ma Xiaotao's body, isolating her from the outside world.

"Xuan Zi, don't you think you're going too far!" An old man also appeared on the competition stage at this time, using his soul power to lift Ma Rulong's body, his eyes full of grief.

This person was also one of the leaders of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy this time, a soul engineer whose strength had reached rank nine.

However, his strength was much inferior to Ma Rulong's grandfather, Old Ma. Therefore, after bidding for the True Dragon Egg, the task of taking the True Dragon Egg and lurking back into the country was actually carried out by Old Ma.

But now Ma Rulong had died in battle. This was a genius of their Sun Moon Empire! Even if he couldn't compare to Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, he was still a gifted existence. As long as he didn't die prematurely, he would definitely bring unimaginable value to the Sun Moon Empire.

To die in battle here like this, and judging by the looks of it, Xuan Zi was going to push his advantage even further. Once is acceptable, but not a second or third time.

Looking at the angry opponent, Xuan Zi's cloudy old eyes narrowed slightly, and then he said, "On the battlefield, swords and spears have no eyes. Casualties are inevitable."

"But the consequences caused by this soul tool that your Sun Moon Empire brought this time are even more serious."

"So this old man naturally has to take it away. If you have any objections, let Jing Hongchen, that old toad, come to Shrek Academy to find this old man!"

Afterward, Xuan Zi's tone softened slightly: "However, Ma Xiaotao's condition is still unstable, and this old man needs to take her back to Shrek Academy immediately."

"As for the death of your team member, after the competition, my Shrek Academy will naturally send someone to contact and negotiate with you. It's just that this old man really doesn't have that much time right now."

"However, if you want to directly fight this old man here, although this child Xiaotao's condition is extremely critical, dealing with you is nothing."

"..." Listening to Xuan Zi's shameless words, the ninth-rank soul engineer almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, but in the end, he forcibly endured it.

He directly turned his head, took Ma Rulong's body, and returned to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy's resting area.

With matters having reached this point, Xuan Zi didn't linger here any longer, at least not overtly. He took Ma Xiaotao and left.

"Are we really just going to let it go like this?" Xiao Hongchen clenched his fists tightly and said to the ninth-rank soul engineer elder in front of him.

Although when Ma Rulong was the captain, Xiao Hongchen had always been unconvinced by him, believing that if he wasn't a few years older, he wouldn't be qualified to lead him at all.

But with Ma Rulong's death in battle, he truly admired his captain and colleague for once, and what followed was anger, anger at what Shrek Academy had done.

The ninth-rank soul engineer elder shook his head: "With matters having reached this point, the mistake has already been made. At least Xuan Zi said one thing correctly, and that is that none of us are his match."

"Whoever has the bigger fist has the right to speak. It's just that we still have to consider our reputation on the surface. Afterward, Shrek Academy will send someone to contact us. In order to avoid criticism, a series of compensations will definitely be indispensable."

"And what you have to do is to use the resources that come from the compensation, carry on Ma Rulong and the others' will, continue to become stronger, continue to move forward, and contribute your strength to our Sun Moon Empire."

"Only in this way can we be worthy of Ma Rulong and the others' sacrifices. Do you think I don't feel pain for Ma Rulong and the others' sacrifices? Each of them grew up under my guidance."

"I am more painful than you about their deaths, so you must continue to work hard and end this millennia-old feud in our generation."

At this time, in Shrek Academy's resting area, everyone looked at each other in dismay.

"Now that Ma Rulong has died in battle, the person they are likely to send up next is Xiao Hongchen."

"He has many high-quality defensive soul tools on him, so Xixi is not suitable as his opponent, but Ling Luochen, you just need to find a way to control him and then knock him off the stage."

Ling Luochen nodded, and then walked onto the competition stage. At this time, the contestant sent out by the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy surprised everyone.

"Meng Hongchen, why is it her?" Wang Yan frowned. In the previous matches, Meng Hongchen mostly played the role of an auxiliary firepower hand. Shrek Academy really didn't have much information about her.

Moreover, because of her mediocre performance and the fact that her cultivation was only at the beginning of the Soul King realm, she was initially a substitute member of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy. Therefore, Wang Yan had only paid attention to her status as Xiao Hongchen's younger sister before.

As the members of both teams entered the stage, the Skyfiend Douluo directed the two to take their positions and then announced the start of the match.

In that instant, Ling Luochen demonstrated the qualities of a professional soul master. The five soul rings alternated, and in just three breaths, all five of her soul skills had been cast.

For ordinary soul masters, perhaps they would have just completed their martial soul fusion at this time, and it was hard to say.

Even for other Shrek Academy team members, the time it would take to use five consecutive soul skills would be at least five seconds, and it would be impossible to achieve Ling Luochen's speed.

This was because, with the help of ice control methods, the five soul skills were linked to each other, one after another. Each one borrowed the end of the previous soul skill to complete its early composition, thereby greatly shortening the time and consumption of the soul skill casting.

As Ling Luochen, holding the ice staff and clad in ice armor, fully armed, unleashed an ice mist centered around herself, the temperature of the entire arena plummeted, and the ice element instantly became active.

Meng Hongchen's movements were then sealed by an ice prison that rose out of nowhere, and the most powerful Ice Radiance Ring, aided by the expansion of the ice mist, also arrived before Meng Hongchen.

If it were an ordinary person, they would probably have already been defeated. Even with defensive soul tools, the control formed by the ice prison and the Ice Radiance Ring could directly envelop the outside of the soul tool, thereby sealing the enemy's movements.

But unfortunately, if Ling Luochen had known Meng Hongchen's martial soul and soul skills, she might have been more cautious.

As the ice mist enveloped the arena, most of the spectators could no longer see what was happening on the stage.

As time passed, everyone's expression became solemn, because the battle situation seemed to be somewhat off.

No sounds of fighting or collision came from the battlefield.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes.

Just then, the ice mist finally dissipated, and because many contestants had died earlier, the Skyfiend Douluo directly entered the arena after activating his martial soul, and grabbed Ling Luochen out.

"How is that possible?" Wang Yan's heart sank immediately upon seeing this situation.

"Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy wins. Shrek Academy, please send out your next team member."

Under the Skyfiend Douluo's soul power control, Ling Luochen was sent off the stage, and everyone gathered around as the ice armor enveloping Ling Luochen dissipated.

Ling Luochen had completely lost consciousness. It was poison, a terrifying poison.

At the start of the match, Meng Hongchen did not enter the martial soul fusion state, but waited for the ice mist to rise before making her move.

Without any information, except for Huo Yuhao who possessed transcendent intelligence, Wang Yan had no way of judging what means Meng Hongchen had used, or what her martial soul was.

Moreover, although the toxins on Ling Luochen's body had not yet shown signs of erupting, this was also thanks to Gongyang Mo and Ning Tian working together to suppress them.

After the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy lost four people, Meng Hongchen had clearly become murderous, using all her strength to unleash her deadly poison, which even the Rainbow Dragon and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda could not purify, only suppress.

"Next," Meng Hongchen said coldly, and an invisible sense of oppression appeared on the Shrek team.

"Leave it to me," Chen Zifeng said.

Before this, his presence had been somewhat weak, not because he was not strong.

As a soul master possessing the Soul Chasing Sword, and also an elite disciple of Shrek Academy, Chen Zifeng's offensive power was also unique among the main team members.

But earlier, during the team battle, his all-melee style of fighting had no room to play.

Now, the individual elimination round was undoubtedly the best opportunity for him to display his strength.

"Alright, make it quick," Wang Yan sighed. With the successive setbacks in the battle, he now understood that this year's Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy team was much stronger than he had imagined, and each of them should not be underestimated.

And now, with the absence of Ma Xiaotao, their strongest combatant, could Shrek Academy really go all the way to the end?

After the two sides went through the routine of announcing names and taking their positions, Chen Zifeng released his martial soul at the start of the match, and with the help of propulsion soul tools, he approached Meng Hongchen at the fastest speed.

Meng Hongchen did the same, seemingly not intending to create distance.

Everyone could now see the changes in Meng Hongchen after activating her martial soul. Apart from her entire body's skin turning into a flawless, crystal-clear snow-white color, only her eyes turned blood-red.

However, even with only these characteristics, everyone could not identify what Meng Hongchen's martial soul was.

When the two sides approached within thirty meters, Meng Hongchen moved. A snow-white toad phantom with blood-red eyes appeared behind her.

The best soul ring configuration of two yellow, two purple, and one black undoubtedly showed Meng Hongchen's aptitude and talent.

Then, as Meng Hongchen's first soul ring lit up, a ball of white gas flew directly towards Chen Zifeng from her palms, not very fast.

Chen Zifeng snorted coldly. He had seen Ling Luochen's condition earlier, so he naturally knew that she had been poisoned by some kind of toxin, but if the range was only this large, it would not pose a threat to him.

With each step he took, the soul rings under Chen Zifeng's feet would flash in turn.

First soul ring, second soul ring, third soul ring, fourth soul ring, fifth soul ring.

With the five soul rings flashing, the distance between him and Meng Hongchen was now less than twenty meters, and the ball of white mist had appeared in front of him.

At this moment, the blood-red light flashing on the Soul Chasing Sword was also reflected on Chen Zifeng's body.

Charge, Thrust, Break.

With very concise movements, Chen Zifeng's sword energy directly broke through the mist that attacked him.

At the same time, two completely different auras, one cold and one hot, also permeated towards Chen Zifeng.

But in just an instant, it was shattered by Chen Zifeng's sharp sword energy, and at the same time, Chen Zifeng's originally lit second soul ring dimmed.

The distance of twenty meters passed in an instant, and the blood-red substantial sword energy, under Chen Zifeng's control, had reached a position less than three meters in front of Meng Hongchen.

But Meng Hongchen did not panic at all. She tapped the ground with her toes, and her body bounced up like lightning, flying backwards at an astonishing speed.

However, compared to Chen Zifeng, who had been accelerated by soul skills, she was still a little slower. The blood-red sword energy caught up with her, and a layer of golden protective shield appeared on Meng Hongchen's body.

It was an Invincible Shield. Meng Hongchen used the Invincible Shield to block Chen Zifeng's inevitable blow.

Although Chen Zifeng was good at attacking, he ultimately did not have soul power as strong as Ma Xiaotao. His attack was not enough to break through the Invincible Shield.

As the attack was blocked, Chen Zifeng's figure did not stop, but chased after Meng Hongchen repeatedly, continuing to strike with his sword.

Trails of afterimages appeared, and the blood-red light enveloped Meng Hongchen.

"I concede," but before the three seconds of the Invincible Shield passed, in the last second.

Meng Hongchen spoke, and Chen Zifeng's sword had to stop under the Skyfiend Douluo's interception.

What followed was his gradually turning pale, stiff, and displaying the same symptoms as Ling Luochen.

Without a doubt, Meng Hongchen still had the strength to fight, and had not used her trump cards, but she had already achieved the result she needed.

Chen Zifeng fell, and Meng Hongchen also retracted her first and second soul rings, which were still flashing constantly, and the martial soul that had now been recognized by Wang Yan.

"I didn't expect it to be this, the Jade Azure Ice Toad. Ling Luochen's loss was not unjust," Wang Yan sighed, and then told the Shrek Academy team the information he knew.
