Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting

Chapter 242: I didn’t do anything

This change was simply too sudden that Jia Yu was not even able to react before the Silver Moon Spear was already near him.

Under such a situation, he had many ways to block it. But at this moment, he couldn’t even release his Martial Soul! He could only watch as the spear pierced through him.

A figure appeared before Jia Yu like lightning and kicked him off the arena, dispelling the spear ray with a slap of her palm at the same time. On the other side, a figure appeared and blocked Li Bin as well. She sent the Emerald Demon Bird flying with a slap and leaped off the arena with Li Bin.

In just a short while, Li Han was the only one left in his team of three.

While Liu Feng’s attack was just dispelled, he wouldn’t let go of this chance and quickly swept out the White Dragon Spear in his hand. “White Dragon Flash!”

Li Han was already completely dumbfounded by now. He couldn’t even dodge it because his Martial Soul seemed like it was sealed immediately, and he couldn’t use it at all.

Then, his body was lifted by the White Dragon Spear, and the Emerald Demon Bird that was sent flying just now lined out an arc and flew back, heading straight for Li Han’s forehead.

Li Han only felt a strong wind against his face. An immense fear took over him; this was the first time he felt so close to death.

“Bang!” The Emerald Demon Bird was sent flying by Ling Yiyi’s palm, and she pulled Li Han off the arena at the same time.

“End of match. Lan Xuanyu’s team won.” Another teacher took over the announcement, and his tone sounded baffled.

All ten tournaments were held at the same time, but they were the first to finish. And they even finished it in a way that was very unexpected.

Even Lan Xuanyu himself was stunned, not to mention the others. ‘What happened?’

How did they win?

A loud “PA” resounded as Qian Lei kept the Emerald Demon Bird and slapped Lan Xuanyu on the shoulder, “Captain, you’re amazing! You actually controlled the group, huh?” Although he wasn’t great at fights, he could tell that those three opponents didn’t even have a chance of fighting back. This was simply too easy.

Lan Xuanyu turned to look at him; the corners of his mouth twitched. He really wanted to say, ‘I didn’t do anything!’

However, being under the gaze of so many people and feeling the shock in the audience as they watched them, he forcefully swallowed the words that he was about to say.

This test had just begun. Although they won without any rhyme or reason, it was still a win! Who knows what the following test would be like. It would at least act as a deterrent for now.

Liu Feng returned as well, and he couldn’t help but look at Lan Xuanyu with respect. Previously, he and Qian Lei were both behind Lan Xuanyu, so they didn’t know what Lan Xuanyu was doing exactly. But no matter what, the point was that they won.

That was a four-ring and two people with three rings, ah! During the semi-finals this time, there were many teams that were very strong, but they simply managed to defeat them—Lan Xuanyu’s team was amazing.

Ling Yiyi’s voice resounded next to Lan Xuanyu’s ear, “How did you do it?”

Lan Xuanyu looked at her as she was a distance away, and it seemed like he was the only one who could hear her voice. He shook his head, spread his arms, and shrugged innocently.

Ling Yiyi pursed her lips and a hint of disdain appeared on her face. ‘Pretending, huh. Continue pretending, then.’

Lan Xuanyu really didn’t know, ah! He really didn’t know how he did it either.

Below the arena, Li Han, Li Bin, and Jia Yu were unscathed. They gathered as they looked at one another, confused.

Li Han couldn’t hold it in and said, “Both of you, why did both of you stop fighting all of a sudden? What exactly happened?”

Li Han stammered, “I, I don’t know either! At that moment, my Martial Soul couldn’t work and disappeared. I couldn’t use any ability.”

Jia Yu pulled a long face and said, “Me, too! It felt like I lost my Martial Soul in that instant and couldn’t do anything. That guy is too scary. No wonder he could reach the semi-finals with just two rings. I don’t even know how I lost. I’m not satisfied!”

At this moment, the three people realized that they had been eliminated, eliminated… they had been eliminated without a reason.

The entire place was still in an uproar.

All of the eyes on Lan Xuanyu’s team were in disbelief. The three of them had only two rings each, and yet they managed to defeat a Soul Master with four rings and two Soul Masters with three rings each. Both parties didn’t even have any actual collision with one another—this was simply an unthinkable situation!

Lan Mengqin was speechless and looked at Dong Qianqiu, “How did they do it? Did you see it clearly?”

Dong Qianqiu shook her head and was confused, too.

She was obviously very familiar with the strength of Lan Xuanyu’s team. After all, they had fought together so many times before. However, she didn’t totally understand how these three people managed to pull that off! What exactly did Lan Xuanyu do?

Lan Xuanyu appeared very calm when he walked down the arena. His eyes swept across the other candidates very calmly, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth—that was definitely a smile of a winner.

And the expressions of those candidates whom he looked at changed slightly; they didn’t dare to look down on this trio anymore. Mysterious, it was very mysterious! Mysterious elites. Their strength was definitely more than what was displayed by their Soul Rings!

Right now, Lan Xuanyu couldn’t stop thinking about what exactly happened just now. His Martial Soul Fusion technique hasn’t been used, and even if he did, it wouldn’t have this amazing effect! He was confident of blocking the opponents’ attacks, but even with counterattacks, he could only attack one person at a time; he still wasn’t sure how strong the effect of the attack would be.

But just now, Li Bin and Jia Yu had clearly lost their battle abilities, and this wasn’t what his Martial Soul Fusion technique could do.

At this moment, Lan Xuanyu suddenly recalled a scenario. It was when he first became a Soul Master and battled with Ye Lingtong. At that time, Ye Lingtong’s Martial Soul became ineffective after she came into contact with him as well.

Ye Lingtong’s Martial Soul was a dragon type, and his bloodline seemed to have a very strong suppression effect toward dragon-type Martial Souls. However, Li Han and Jia Yu’s Martial Souls weren’t related to dragons at all! How did he manage to suppress their Martial Souls and make them lose effectiveness?

Could it be that a new ability appeared after his Martial Soul mutation?

As for this, Lan Xuanyu couldn’t confirm either. But it was still a victory, after all. They initially thought that it would be a tough battle and had a higher chance of losing, but they actually managed to get through it just like that.

He would go back and think about it. At least they won.

The first round of the tournament came to an end very soon, and Lan Xuanyu’s team successfully made it through. When there are victories, there are defeats. The faces of those teams that were defeated were ravaged with grief, and some people even cried. They were only around 12 years old, after all!

This round of assessment was definitely the cruelest. Who could stand out in this brutal test? This would even decide the fates of those who defeated their opponents.

There were familiar faces for the second round. Liang Shushi’s team from Ling Tian Academy was up.

Lan Xuanyu looked sympathetically at the anxious Bing Tianliang not far away and sighed in his heart.

After they got off the arena just now, he also observed the battles in the other arenas. As it was an elimination tournament, the battles were very intense and almost everyone was going all out.

The referees would only make a move when there was a life-threatening situation. There was bloodshed in half of the matches. Everyone hoped to get into Shrek Academy, and nobody wanted their previous efforts to go to waste.

Furthermore, the candidates who were there were elites from the entire Federation! Other than Lan Xuanyu’s team, he hadn’t seen any other Soul Masters with only two Soul Rings, and having three Soul Rings was average; only one with four rings could be considered outstanding.
