Chapter 1206: The Competition Begins
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Tang Wulin could not help stealing a few glances. He had never truly engaged in a battle with Elder Long’s Light Dark Power. However, he felt stimulated after sensing Elder Long’s spiritual domain the other day.
In the battle of three against six, Tang Wulin was definitely at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. However, Tang Wulin, A Ruheng, and Sima Jinchi were undoubtedly more powerful based on their overall abilities.
Being more powerful would not necessarily ensure triumph in a battle. Tang Wulin understood that his comrades’ abilities to complement one another through their years of fighting together would be more effective.
Both sides stood firmly separated by a distance of two hundred meters. They gazed fixedly at one another in the distance.
The Shrek Six Monsters’ configuration made more sense since they were soul masters of different types.
Yue Zhengyu, Yuanen Yehui, and Ye Xinglan were assault-type soul masters. On the other hand, Xu Xiaoyan was a control-type soul master while Xie Xie was an agility-type soul master. Last but not least, Xu Lizhi was acting as an auxiliary system food-type soul master. Their setup was ideal.
Tang Wulin’s side comprised of three assault-type soul masters. Tang Wulin himself would take on the additional task of a control-type soul master.
“Begin!” Elder Long’s announcement was simple and direct. She did not offer any advice apart from announcing the start of the competition.
Tang Wulin was the first person to dash out. He used his left foot to stamp against the ground and triggered a heaven-shocking loud crash. His entire person pounced straight toward the Shrek Six Monsters on the opposite side akin to a flying golden arrow.
A Ruheng and Sima Jinchi were running simultaneously by his side. All three of them unleashed their martial souls as soon as they dashed forward.
Seven soul rings arose from Tang Wulin’s body. The green-gold and two orange-gold soul rings appeared especially striking and were all the more shocking.
Tang Wulin’s comrades would have their own orange-gold soul rings too. However, they had not fought together in the past year. Tang Wulin’s comrades had broken through to seven-ringed cultivation bases in succession, but they had not absorbed the plant-type soul beasts attached to Tang Wulin.
Everyone had their reasons. Yue Zhengyu’s reason being his clan had a crucial demand for his seventh soul ring. With the possibility of acquiring the Holy Fusion Skill, he would need to use his initial angel spirit soul as his seventh soul ring.
Ye Xinglan’s reason was she was breaking through an important stage of her Swordsoul. She could not stop halfway to absorb the plant-type beast, so she might as well complete the breakthrough first.
Xie Xie’s situation was rather similar. He felt the mutation of his martial soul when he achieved rank-70. In order to achieve further success, he completed his breakthrough immediately.
Xu Lizhi was supposed to wait, but the ability that he was cultivating at the time-triggered his initial spirit soul to complete the fusion of his seventh soul ring.
Yuanen Yehui had twin martial souls. She had her own ideas as well, so she made the decision to use her eighth soul ring to fuse with the plant-type beast.
As a result, Xu Xiaoyan was the only person remaining for the fusion with the plant-type beasts. Everyone else had elevated to seven rings. When she saw Yue Zhengyu engaged in closed-door cultivation to achieve a breakthrough, she was instigated to complete her own breakthrough that she hurriedly went over to the observatory. She thought everyone was planning to fuse with the plant-type beasts when they attained eight-ring cultivation bases. In any case, they may not necessarily be suited to the plant-type beasts for certain, so she might as well go ahead with her breakthrough.
As a result, Tang Wulin’s six great beasts were still by his side and had yet to fuse with his comrades. He was the only person with an orange-gold soul ring at present.
Meanwhile, Tang Wulin and his two companions formed a triangular battle formation as they charged forward. The Shrek Six Monsters on the other side had already completed their battle formation having discussed it prior to the competition.
Xie Xie took a step toward the side and vanished into the air silently. Yuanen Yehui assumed command in the middle while Yue Zhengyu and Ye Xinglan were on each of her sides. Xu Xiaoyan was behind her leaving Xu Lizhi at the rearmost of the formation.
At present, six pairs of cheeks were contorted as they chewed the buns. Tang Wulin was not sure of the type of buns they were chewing since they were secretive in their movements. Tang Wulin suspected it may be something similar to the Bloodthirst Bean Buns.
Other than the missing Xie Xie, the rest of the group did not move despite Tang Wulin charging at them from the front. They held their positions to brace themselves for the opponent’s attack.
Tang Wulin’s speed increased as the pair of golden dragon wings on his back adjusted the direction of his charge. The Golden Dragon Spear was already in his grasp. His ferocious and forceful momentum was about to make the air explode.
The distance of two hundred meters was covered in just a few seconds with his impressive cultivation base.
A Ruheng and Sima Jinchi were behind by only a step. Their cultivation bases were even more powerful while their speeds were definitely not slow. Sima Jinchi held the Dragon Slaying Saber in his hand. The person he was heading toward was Ye Xinglan. As they gazed into the eyes of one another, Sima Jinchi could see the intense desire to fight in the maiden’s eyes.
He felt as if he was watching himself in the past as he looked at Ye Xinglan. However, Ye Xinglan was not combative like him. In her case, it was the pursuit of perfection in her sword skills.
What was the extent of her Swordsoul now?
This battle would not be ending soon, right?
Although it was a battle of three against six in which Tang Wulin’s side was outnumbered, Sima Jinchi felt confident of winning this battle. He was familiar with Tang Wuli’s ability and knew the extent of his powers. In a one against one battle, he would not be Tang Wulin’s worthy opponent were he not cladded in his battle armor.
He was a nine-ring soul master fighting against a seven-ring soul master. The effect of the Golden Dragon King’s amplification on Tang Wulin was so powerful it was truly astonishing.
A Ruheng had pretty much the same thought as Sima Jinchi. He did not think that the Shrek Six Monsters could triumph over the three of them.
Under ordinary circumstances, it should be easy for a Title Douluo sparring against seven Soul Douluos. He would not even be interested to participate in the sparring session today if not for the Shrek Six Monsters.
A faint smile emerged on Tang Wulin’s face. Perhaps, he was the only person out of the three who thought winning today’s battle would not be trivial because he knew his comrades’ abilities well.
The power within every single one of them was developed together as a squad. During the whole year when he was enlisted in the military, he was a person reborn. How could his comrades be any different?
There was a reservation to some extent in his headlong charge which appeared as if he was devoting his full force. His gaze was not upon Yuanen Yehui but Xu Xiaoyan who was standing behind Yuanen Yehui. He was certain that she was the only person capable of blocking his full force charge.
When Tang Wulin was past a hundred meters, he caught a glimpse of the Star Staff in Xu Xiaoyan’s hand shimmer with radiance as if she was about to unleash her soul skill.
It was precisely because he was familiar with them that he chose to make a move at this moment. Without any hesitation, two streams of purple lightning-like radiance shot out from his eyes.
Tang Wulin had yet to cultivate his Purple Demon Eyes to the final part of the Expanse level. However, the effect produced at the third level was still exceedingly powerful and terrifying. Had it been an ordinary Soul Sage, he would have blasted the Soul Sage’s head in one strike.
Tang Wulin understood very well that the most terrifying part about Xu Xiaoyan’s Star Staff was its absolute immobility ability. With this ability, she was capable of becoming one of the Shrek Seven Monsters. Hence, he should not allow her to unleash this ability. The only thing he could do now was to disrupt her from launching it.
Consequently, Tang Wulin unleashed the Purple Demon Eyes without any hesitation. He relied on his Spirit Domain’s spiritual power to launch a sudden attack. He believed that Xu Xiaoyan would not be able to block it even if she was well prepared.
After all, his comrades were unaware that he had already achieved the Spirit Domain rank.
A purple radiance flashed once. Even Sima Jinchi and A Ruheng standing by Tang Wulin’s sides could see the solid-like purple-gold radiance clearly. Furthermore, they were petrified by it.
If such a terrifying spiritual assault was launched on them, they would not be able to withstand it either! They could even feel it from the side, what more for those confronting it from the front.
They had suffered once due to the Purple Demon Eyes when they sparred with Tang Wulin in the past.
Tang Wulin had cultivated his spiritual power painstakingly in recent days. His purpose was to cultivate his Purple Demon Eyes to the highest level as soon as possible and achieved a breakthrough to the Expanse realm. By then, he believed he could acquire a spiritual domain belonging to him easily.
However, a situation that surprised all three of them occurred.
When Tang Wulin’s eyes were shimmering with purple radiance and his Purple Demon Eyes were unleashed, he watched in astonishment as Xu Xiaoyan who was on the opposite side raised her head to reveal a ghastly smile.
Tang Wulin felt his chest tighten as he saw the smile on Xu Xiaoyan’s face.
Back in the beginning when Tang Wulin first arrived at Shrek Academy, Xu Xiaoyan had a firm hold on the class with her authoritarian demeanor. At present, her smile seemed intentional.
A misty golden light screen appeared before the Shrek Six Monsters silently at the moment. Tang Wulin’s Purple Demon Eyes’ assault missed by a mile as it crossed the screen and blasted the light shield directly.
