Douluo Dalu - The Story of Sheng Feilong Chapter 61

When the Holy Spirit Douluo beckoned for them to ascend the arena, Luo Guixing remained standing still for a moment . Although he was confident is his own and his teams strength, he still had to take this serious . Gu Yue was definitely a threat to them . Then there was the new student, Xu Lizhi; Although he's known to be a Food Type Soul Master, nothing else is known about him, not even his Soul Rank .

He looked at Sheng Feilong and couldn't help but furrow his brows . Sheng Feilong was introduced as a Control Type Soul Master and from what he heard from Jian Wang, he was a Spiritual and Control Type Hybrid . He is proficient in illusions and has abilities to support his team members . Moreover, his Spirit Power is ridiculously high; a piece of information that Luo Guixing had already verified the hard way . Back then, just the spiritual pressure was enough to cause him to lose his balance .

Wu Sidou nudged Luo Guixing's shoulder while walking past him, pulling him out of his thoughts as she spoke with an indifferent expression . "Let's go . "

Luo Guixing looked at her and the rest of his team . Other than Jian Wang who was frowning, everyone else had more or less relaxed and confident expressions; They trusted their own strength more than anything, causing Luo Guixing to shake his head lightly as he walked onto the arena as well .

'Whatever . They're right; We'll just have to believe in our strength . So what if he is proficient in illusions? A single Control Soul Master can't stop all of us . We'll get rid of the rest before focusing on Gu Yue and Sheng Feilong, just as planned . '

They took their positions on the arena; Yang Nianxia at the front with Jian Wang and Xu Yucheng to his left and right . Just behind them stood Wu Sidou, followed by Luo Guixing and Zheng Yiran in the third row . Jian Wang had his eyes fixed on Sheng Feilong; as soon as the battle started, it was his task to tie down Sheng Feilong while the others took care of Tang Wulin and his friends .

Opposite of them, Sheng Feilong's team at had also taken their positions . Tang Wulin stood at the front, with Xie Xie a step behind him, eyeing Xu Yucheng . Gu Yue and Sheng Feilong stood behind them at the sides and Xu Xiaoyan and Xu Lizhi stood even further behind, creating a gap in the middle of their formation . While that may seem unfavourable, the idea was to have anyone who dares to enter that gap face all of their attacks at the same time; It was their best chance to deal with Wu Sidou's Self-Fusion Skill: Hell's White Tiger .

Wu Zhangkong stood at the side and gave them the countdown for the start of the match . As soon as he finished, the front rows of both teams stormed at each other and activated their Spirit Souls near immediately . On one side, Jian Wang was charging at Sheng Feilong at breakneck speed, while 3 purple Soul Rings lit up behind him and a huge axe appeared in his hands . At the same time, Wu Sidou charged at Gu Yue at the other side, using the agility boost of her first Spirit Soul, the Hell Civet!

Tang Wulin and Yang Nianxia were the first to clash, standing toe to tow with none of them giving in . Xu Yucheng tried to quickly get rid of Tang Wulin, but was intercepted by Xie Xie . Although he was a Rank 40+ Soul Ancestor, due to his special Spirit Soul, his body was quite weak and he didn't dare to take Xie Xie's hit, but instead dodged to the side .

The next to reach their target was Wu Sidou . She jumped at Gu Yue, trying to tie her down in close combat, but the latter quickly countered with long ranged attacks, forcing Wu Sidou to retreat . Gu Yue harrumphed arrogantly; As long as Wu Sidou didn't use her Self-Fusion Skill, both of them were on par, even with Wu Sidou's higher cultivation!

With the three main battlefields having taken form, the teams Control Type Soul Masters did their best to assist their comrades, while Xu Lizhi and Zheng Yiran remained in their places, waiting for an opportunity to shine . Meanwhile, Jian Wang was still charging at Sheng Feilong; as his opponent didn't move a muscle, he, as an Power Attack Type Soul Master, was the last to reach his target!

Sheng Feilong merely smiled, mouthing a few words to Jian Wang, that caused the latter expresion to darken . Jian Wang naturally understood Sheng Feilong's meaning and this meaning really angered him despite being friends with Feilong for so long! This arrogance, this nonchalance about the fight at hand; How could he not be angered!

'Master isn't holding me back this time!' - this is what Sheng Feilong made Jian Wang understand before he activated his Radiant Emperor's Phantasmagoric Eyes! His eyes turned a more brilliant shade of gold as the winged, diamond shaped symbol appeared on his forehead and three deep purple Soul Rings sprung into existence behind his back . The first and third ring lit up simultaneously, sending a powerful ripple of Spirit Power over the whole arena!

Luo Guixing, Wu Sidou and the others lost focus when the ripple of Spirit Power washed over them and all of them payed for that loss of focus; Yang Nianxia was hit by Tang Wulin and propelled nearly 10 metres backwards, Xu Yucheng's shoulder was struck by Xie Xie's dagger before he could retreat backwards and Wu Sidou could barely block a fireball that Gu Yue threw at her as she instinctively swung her arms up to guard when she lost focus .

Yang Nianxia stood up again, wiping the dust of his face as he stared at Tang Wulin, while Xu Yucheng, Wi Sidou and the other stood near him; only Jian Wang was still fighting Sheng Feilong, but even Tang Wulin and his friends didn't seem to bother about that side show . Luo Guixing frowned when he saw Tang Wulin and the others regroup, but quickly ordered his team to do the same . Although he hated to admit it, their team had lost the initial clash!

Sheng Feilong smiled as he saw Jian Wang attack the air around him repeatedly . His first Soul Skill, Toad Prison, had once again worked perfectly . Moreover, seeing Luo Guixing and his team regroup, he knew that none of them escaped his illusion . While Sheng Feilong could feel his Spirit Power being drained, he knew that he had about 4 minutes time before exhausting his energy . He looked at Tang Wulin and the others, casually talking to them while walking over, with Jian Wang, seemingly being caught up in close combat with the air, a few steps behind him .

"Stop . Fall back, everyone . They're already caught in an illusion . "

Tang Wulin glanced at Sheng Feilong, but before he could say something, a voice caused him to tense up and instantly focus his attention to the front again; Luo Guixing was calling out a defensive action!

"Here they come! Wu Sidou, Yang Nianxia, intercept them! Everyone else, go!"

Everyone in the audience saw Wu Sidou and Yang Nianxia charged forward for about 5 metres before both of them hit the air before them, fighting against nothing, just like Jian Wang . They were even using their Soul Skills and Luo Guixing pulled out his ace; his space related prison Soul Skill! Meanwhile, Tang Wulin stared back at Sheng Feilong in disbelief, while the latter simply remained smiling calmly .

"You actually trapped every single one of them?!"

Sheng Feilong chuckled slightly before flashing a bright smile at Tang Wulin .

"I told you I'd deal with this! That's the strength of overwhelming Spirit Power . " Just as he finished speaking, an enourmous amount of Soul Power flashed over the arena as Wu Sidou activated her Self-Fusion Skill; A giant, black and white coloured tiger taking form around her and pouncing on the air before her, crushing the arena floor before her . Everyone else didn't miss that opportunity and quickly released their strongest abilities while their opponents were swept up by the remnant energy of Wi Sidou's attack!

Huge amounts of Soul Power stormed through the air as sounds of explosions reverberated through the whole training facility . The audience gasped at the show of sheer strength, even though they didn't understand what was happening as Luo Guixing's team didn't attack their opponents . A few moments later, the Soul Powers calmed dow and the dust slowly settled . Wu Sidou and the other seemed content with their success, but their arrogant smiles quickly vanished when they saw their opponents standing at the same spots they just attacked unharmed!

Before their very eyes, their opponent's bodies slowly lost their colour and turned into a mix of white and green . They stared at the show with disbelief, before snapping out of their second of stupor . Just as Luo Guixing was about to give a command, their opponents burst apart with a loud 'poof!' and turned into . . .

"Cauliflowers?!" The whole team suddenly burst out shouting at the otherworldly display; Hundreds of cauliflowers were flying through the air, landing and busting upon impact when they hit the arena floor, leaving a huge mess behind . In nearly the same instant, Jian Wang had finally managed to get 'Sheng Feilong', only to see the body of his friend explode into a few dozen cauliflowers as well! He turned his head to the sky, furiously shouting on top of his lungs in anger as he began wildly hacking all around him .

"Damn it, Feilong!"
