Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting-Novel

Chapter 480– Seven Spirit Sword Liu Baochuan

What surprised them was that among the four first years, there wasn’t the strongest five-ring Yuanen Huihui. Yes, there wasn’t Yuanen Huihui, but instead Lan Xuanyu leading Dong Qianqiu, Liu Feng, and Ding Zhuohan.

The five-ring isn’t there ?

Their opponent was Liu Baochuan, who had six rings! Six rings, One-Word Battle Armor, and he was a top student from Shrek Academy. The highest cultivation base among the first years was only four-ring. How were they going to fight? Were they giving up?

Opposite them, Liu Baochuan had already walked out and when he saw their lineup, he was surprised.

In his opinion, the only threat to him in this battle was Yuanen Huihui, who was able to increase the distance between them, but he didn’t expect that the other party didn’t send Yuanen Huihui out. This was completely out of his expectations. The tactic that his teacher had initially arranged for him was to target Yuanen, as the biggest threat was Lan Xuanyu and Yuanen Huihui.

Especially Ding Zhuohan, who had never appeared before in any of the matches of the first years. He was a complete stranger. What was the first years up to?

Under countless doubtful gazes, both parties walked to the center of the arena and stood 100 meters away.

On the spectator stand, the honest youth’s eyes lit up as he mumbled to himself, “Interesting. Seems like he has an idea!”

The pretty senior turned to look at him. “What is it?”

The honest youth sighed and said, “If the first years have set up the formation and didn’t let their strongest person go up, there must be a plan. We’ll just have to see if their plan will work. But you don’t have to be anxious, I know Liu Baochuan’s strength. This kid has a kind of ferocity and even when I was in my fourth year, I didn’t have his killing intent. He was really stimulated and I wonder if the first graders can withstand his suppression.”

The pretty senior nodded and said, “I heard that it wasn’t easy for Liu Baochuan either.”

The honest youth suddenly said indignantly, “How could you hear about other guys? I’ll find him for a duel later.”

“Go away!”

In the arena, Lan Xuanyu smiled and greeted Liu Baochuan. “Hello, senior. Please show mercy.”

Looking at Lan Xuanyu, Liu Baochuan had a good impression of him. The fact that a class leader was able to lead his classmate to consecutively defeat opponents of a higher year was already proof of his strength. Furthermore, Lan Xuanyu was very good looking! That sunny smile was indeed very easy to get along with.

However, Liu Baochuan did not say anything and only nodded his head silently. He had never thought that he would lose this match, nor did he have this concept in his mind. No matter who his opponent was, he would give it his all. This was what he had learned on a real battlefield. A moment of weakness might cause him to regret it for life. So, he would leave the safety of his opponents to the referees.

“Both parties, get ready.” A teacher referee floated in the air and spoke to the five students.

Then, Lan Xuanyu and the rest were surprised to see spots of light lighting up on Liu Baochuan’s body. From his face onwards, an armor seemed to flow out and covered his entire body. One-Word Battle Armor!

He was actually releasing his One-Word Battle Armor before the match even officially began.

His Battle Armor was simple and unadorned without much decoration. At the same time, there were ferocious short blades at his elbows and knees. An invisible ferocious aura gushed out.

Lan Xuanyu and his team felt a chill in their hearts and were immediately frightened.

‘This is? Pressure ?’

Lan Xuanyu wasn’t sure why he felt this way, but he could clearly feel the changes in his teammates.

The bloodline vortex in his chest heated up and a strong aura spread throughout his entire body, allowing him to break free from the ice-cold suppression. The blood in his body seemed to be stimulated and actually seemed about to boil.

Lan Xuanyu narrowed his eyes and gestured.

Then, everyone, including the referee, Liu Baochuan, and everyone in the stands saw the four first years raise their hands at the same time and stuff a scarlet fruit into their mouths.

The fruit wasn’t very big, about the size of a dragon’s eye. But in the next moment, their faces were covered in a layer of red, and even their eyes were glowing red. Their auras changed in an instant, and the breathing of the four people became somewhat rapid, but their auras increased exponentially.

What’s this ? What did they eat ?

“Begin!” At this moment, the referee announced the start of the match.

Liu Baochuan took a step forward and leaped into the air. Soul rings rose one by one from beneath his feet, four purple and two black. The six soul rings fully displayed his Soul Emperor cultivation nase. A four-foot long blade appeared in his hand. The back of the blade shone with a brilliant light and there were six balls of light.

He let out a loud roar and revealed his killing intent. His powerful aura was raised to its peak in an instant. He held the sword with both hands as the third soul ring on his body lit up. A shocking sword light appeared along with the third ball of light on the back of the weapon. It fused with the aura in his entire body and poured the power of his Battle Armor into it.

In an instant, Lan Xuanyu could clearly feel that the other party had locked onto him and that earth-shattering blade was about to descend.

At this moment, Lan Xuanyu’s left hand was already grabbing onto Dong Qianqiu’s right hand. On his left hand, the silver-patterned Blue Silver Grass curled up and his eyes flickered as he shouted, “Qianqiu!”

Dong Qianqiu’s fourth soul ring lit up brightly as her eyes turned a deep blue. A pair of dark blue eyes appeared silently behind her, and behind those eyes, one could vaguely see a gigantic shadow.

In midair, Liu Baochuan, who had already leaped high with an imposing aura and a shocking blade aura, suddenly froze. His body actually froze in midair and a layer of ice appeared on the surface of his body.

Right at this moment, Lan Xuanyu took a step forward and Dong Qianqiu pressed her hands on his back, pushing him out.

When Dong Qianqiu pushed Lan Xuanyu, Liu Feng and Ding Zhuohan had already charged forward.

Liu Feng was like a phantom, moving so fast that many of the spectating students felt their vision blur. He had already charged into the sky with four soul rings. That’s right, a total of four soul rings had appeared. Purple was the main color, and a faint dragon roar revolved around him. His entire body was already covered in a layer of white scales. A golden-patterned Blue Silver Grass shot out from Lan Xuanyu’s right hand and wrapped around his waist. In an instant, the calm dragon roar became extremely intense.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye. From Liu Baochuan’s outburst to the first years fighting without showing any signs of weakness.

However, Deep Blue Gaze only controlled Liu Baochuan for a second.

Almost in the next moment, the layer of ice on Liu Baochuan’s body cracked. His cultivation base far surpassed his four opponents and he even had his Battle Armor on. Under Lan Xuanyu’s enhancement, Deep Blue Gaze’s control was very strong but the time it could control him was still very limited.

After all, the current Deep Blue Gaze was somewhat different from Lan Xuanyu and Dong Qianqiu’s Martial Soul Fusion skill.

However, the soul skill he used had been interrupted, and he fell from the sky and landed on the ground.

Liu Baochuan scoffed and gripped his sword with both hands. A surge of sword aura burst forth as his first and second soul rings lit up at the same time. His body stopped in place for a moment, but his aura soared high to the sky. The Battle Armor on his body burst forth with an indescribable strong light.

Everyone could sense that his next attack would be earth-shattering.

But right at this moment, a golden cube made of light appeared before him.

Liu Baochuan was taken aback and didn’t bother to block. It was almost impossible for a four-ring soul master to use a soul skill to hurt a Battle Armor user.
