Douluo Dalu 4: Ultimate Fighting

Although the trio of three-ring Soul Masters was terrified, they still did not give up and released their Martial Souls simultaneously. Together, they charged towards Yuanen Huihui without hesitation. Since his Martial Soul was a longbow, he must be great at ranged attacks.

Yuanen Huihui simply revealed a disdainful smile and his first Soul Ring shone as he exclaimed, “First Soul Skill, Spirit Attention!”

As he spoke, he lifted the purple longbow in his left hand and the initial dark purple patterned stars lit up. His right hand pulled the bow, stretching the bowstring. An arrow formed by pure energy appeared. The bow was like a full moon and moved as fast as lightning; almost nobody saw that the purple arrow had been shot.

Too fast, it was as if he didn’t even have to aim.

Lan Xuanyu and the other candidates could vaguely feel that the second he pulled the bow, he had already locked onto his target, which was the person in the middle.

Since those three Soul Masters could take part in the semi-finals, they obviously weren’t easy. They dodged at the first instance, and although they couldn’t clearly see where the arrow was heading, dodging definitely wasn’t a wrong move.

However, it was as if the purple arrow had eyes. It created an arc in the sky, appearing right before the Soul Master in the middle with precision.

He only had time to lift the Martial Soul he just released—a long, dazzling knife—to block it.

“Boom!”

A purple light erupted just like fireworks, and stars filled the sky. The exploded starlight burst forth from all directions towards the three-ring Soul Master that was sent flying by the arrow.

Purple Star Spirit Bow and Arrow, first Soul Skill, Spirit Attention; with his target locked, the arrow would not miss a target!

As the first person flew out, a second and third arrow came one after another. He drew the bow thrice, yet it seemed like it was done in the same second. Unable to dodge, the two remaining Soul Masters could only forcefully take on his attack, but they were ultimately sent flying as well.

His bright violet and dark purple eyes blinked, revealing a tinge of satisfaction as he took a bow.

The starlight in the air was dispersed by the referee, which also meant that the match was over.

This match undoubtedly ended the quickest, and it was also the match with the greatest disparity in strength. Yuanen Huihui, victory!

The gap between their cultivations was simply too huge—a three-ring Soul Master couldn’t block his attacks at all. Even with just his first Soul Skill, it was with the support of a rank 50 Soul Power! Furthermore, that Martial Soul of his seemed extraordinary.

Everyone who looked at him couldn’t help but gasp in surprise. Many people were even secretly glad that they didn’t get him as an opponent; otherwise, how would they have competed with this guy? He was really too strong.

Qian Lei swallowed and turned to Lan Xuanyu. “Xuanyu, I want to go home.”

At this moment, he looked anguished.

They encountered and managed to defeat a four-ring opponent, but what was with this chap with five rings, huh? Not only was his Soul Power rank twice as high as theirs, but a five-ring Soul Power compared to their two-ring was also another gap that was twice as wide. Even one with three rings couldn’t compete with him, let alone their two rings. If they had been matched up with Yuanen Huihui instead, the battle would probably have been over even before they could release their Martial Souls! This kind of opponent simply gave one a sense of helplessness.

A faint smile appeared on Lan Xuanyu as he put his arm around Qian Lei’s shoulder. “Don’t look down on yourself. When it comes to uniqueness, you’re more special than he is. His cultivation is so blessed because the environment he cultivates in is different. In any case, we must strive to stay on. As long as we can study and cultivate at Shrek Academy, we will be able to catch up with their pace in the near future and become true elites. There is motivation only when there is pressure. Cultivating in such an environment, don’t you think that we’ll progress faster? ”

Qian Lei looked at him in shock and asked, “Don’t you feel a little discouraged?”

Lan Xuanyu shrugged and replied, “Why must I feel discouraged? I think I’m pretty awesome too! Like just now, we didn’t do anything, yet we still defeated the four-ring Soul Master, didn’t we? You never know, maybe if it was this fella in front of us, his Martial Soul might not work either.”

He already told Qian Lei and Liu Feng what happened when they encountered Li Han’s team. That’s right, he still didn’t know why the other party’s Martial Soul lost effectiveness all of a sudden, hence allowing them to win so easily.

Qian Lei’s lips twitched a little. “Alright, I will work hard.” Although he still felt somewhat helpless, he realized that with Lan Xuanyu by his side, he would feel much more at ease. But he also understood that his reliance on his partner was increasing.

End of the assessment, half of them were eliminated!

Out of 100 teams that participated in the semi-finals, 50 teams were directly eliminated. There were only 50 teams left and 147 people.

That’s right, 147! Because Dong Qianqiu’s team was a team of two and Yuanen Huihui was a single-man team.

On the bus, back to the Shrek guesthouse.

The moment they entered the Shrek guesthouse, Lan Xuanyu was stopped by Dong Qianqiu.

As she and Lan Mengqin strode over to Lan Xuanyu, he could see the will to fight in their eyes!

He wasn’t the only one who saw it, for Qian Lei and Liu Feng did as well. They immediately understood how the two women’s will to fight came about.

Qian Lei suddenly felt ashamed at his inadequacy

This was the difference! No wonder the other party could be so strong while he was so weak.

“Xuanyu, how did you guys win today?” Dong Qianqiu asked curiously.

Lan Xuanyu smiled bitterly. “If I said that I don’t know either, would you believe me?”

“Of course not.” Lan Mengqin curled her lips. “How exactly did you manage to make their Martial Souls ineffective? Could you do it against other people as well?”

Lan Xuanyu replied helplessly. “I really have no clue. I don’t know why, but when his attack landed on me, all of the pressure was gone, then two people from their team lost their battle powers. After that, you all saw what happened.”

Lan Mengqin sized him up and said, “If not for the lack of time now, I really would like to spar with you. I would like to see if my Martial Soul would also be ineffective against you. Let’s not talk about this though. What do you think of that guy?”

“Very strong,” Lan Xuanyu said. “His cultivation is too strong and he’s good at ranged attacks, so his speed should be really fast too. There didn’t seem to be any way to dodge his arrows either. Further, this was just his first Soul Skill.”

Lan Mengqin said in disgust, “And he’s a very cocky, stinky, show-off. He even called out the name of his Soul Skill like he was afraid that others wouldn’t know. I hate this kind of person.”

Liu Feng, who hadn’t spoken a word until now, said, “But he’s indeed very strong.”

“En.” This time, Lan Mengqin did not disagree.

“His Soul Power and Martial Soul are both very strong,” Dong Qianqiu said. “Conversely, it would not have been possible to reach five rings at this age if not for the special strength of his Martial Soul. At least, none of us has ever seen anyone reach the cultivation of five rings at the age of 12. Even at Shrek Academy, such records are probably quite rare. The next method of assessment is not yet known; if it is still the single-elimination open tournament, we will meet them sooner or later, so we must plan some countermoves.”

Lan Mengqin said, “His ability has some kind of restraint on me. It’s just his ranged attack that I don’t like. His Soul Power is strong and explosive—it would affect my performance. Also, his Spiritual Power is definitely not weak either. I think it should be over 700 points. If we want to free ourselves of him, it’ll be very difficult. His first Soul Skill could even strengthen his Spiritual Power for a short while, allowing him to lock onto a target more easily; this was the reason why the arrow did not miss its target. It wasn’t about aim at all, but the fact that it was a Spiritual Power guided arrow.”
