Douluo Dalu: The Legend of Heavenly Ruler-Chapter 246: Sabotage (2/2)

--- Chapter 245 ---

"Well, that was not what I expected." Zhu Zhuyun commented while looking at the pillar that goes down after extinguishing one of the fireballs.

"Well, it's better this way, I guess." She added while smirking a little.

Zhu Zhuyun has been manipulating shadows with the tiniest space possible.

She absorbed one of the fireballs with her spirit skill, which was manipulating vacuum shadow space, and only people with the same ability/attribute could sense it.

"No one notices me yet, but..." Zhu Zhuyun slowly moved her gaze to Liu Erlong, who observed the entire arena.

"This woman probably knows," She whispered. "Her awareness is just too bizarre."

Zhu Zhuyun shook her head and slowly moved her gaze to Dai Weisi, who secured the pillar border with a stoic expression.

Dai Weisi transformed into a humanoid tiger, which caused him to grow white furs on his upper body. He was executing Zhu Zhuyun's order to protect this pillar from anyone else.

BOOM!

A powerful explosion occurred in the middle of the air, in which Su Yanyu and Ma Xioatao intensely attacked each other with their spirit skills.

Su Yanyu drew out her wind spear and lunged forward with a heavy strike. "Take this." She commented while clenching her spear.

Ma Xiaotao couldn't use her spirit energy too much, so she chose to dodge and resulted in Su Yanyu's attack to reach one of the fireballs instead.

BOOM!

The fireball disappeared because of how violent Su Yanyu's attack was, quickly triggering another pillar to go down.

BOOM!

Another fireball suddenly disappeared, which was Zhu Zhuyun's doing.

Tang San abruptly felt their pillars tremble, and his eyes went wide immediately because that one fireball actually triggered their place.

"Xiaotao, stay there!" Tang San shouted while grabbing his teammate with blue silver grass. "I'll deal with this."

Ma Xiaotao nodded her head and naturally focused her gaze on Su Yanyu.

"Bloom." She flicked her finger, causing some fiery flowers to appear around them.

Su Yanyu furrowed her brow and naturally created a wind barrier to protect herself.

Ma Xiaotao smiled slightly, and a phoenix's loud cry echoed through the stage. A winged silhouette appeared in the sky, and Su Yanyu looked at the fiery bird with a surprised expression.

"Third classic, Burning Field." Ma Xiaotao hurriedly clenched her fist and punched the air.

BOOM!

A vast sea of flames appeared out of nowhere and instantly engulfed everything in a crimson glow.

Su Yanyu was baffled because, from what she assumed, none of the Shrek Seven Devils have cultivation over spirit ancestors.

However, what's wrong with this girl who was the same age as herself, but she already reached the spirit king's cultivation realm.

Ma Xiaotao's appearance changed abruptly, and her clothes transformed into a red dress, which didn't stop there because her phoenix wings expanded slightly.

"Dawn." She chanted while five spirit rings floated around her.

Yunlong observed this with amused looks because Ma Xioatao's third to fifth spirit ring was abnormal.

"The third one was more than 2k years old, the fourth was 7k years old, and the fifth spirit ring was 15k years old." He casually commented.

"I fought her in the past, and her third spirit ring clearly became stronger, but what about the last two?" He continued with a curious tone.

"What do you think? I heard she improved from spirit elder to spirit king in half a year." Bibi Dong responded with a smirk on her face.

"Well, Nine Treasure Clan was obviously generous enough to help her grow this much."

Bibi Dong rested her head on the chair and commented, "Not to mention her talent and martial soul was quite good."

"Is that so...?" Yunlong chuckled for a moment. "Then my maids are much better."

Bibi Dong wryly shook her head and answered, "Why are you even comparing them."

Yunlong shrugged his shoulders because even though he tried to be sarcastic, it was nothing but the truth. Shrek Academy experienced weakness because of his doings, yet fate still has a way for them.

They couldn't find Blue Tyrant Academy to rebuild their destroyed school, so they decided to move toward the Nine Treasure Clan, which was quite fortunate because that clan possessed plentiful resources.

Not to mention what happened in the auction, with the clan's head daughter being in the Shrek Academy, they already have a decent backup for growing up.

Nevertheless, even with two titled douluo protecting the Nine Treasure Clan, Yunlong could still destroy them single-handedly.

It wasn't a joke because a single world piercing arrow from Yunlong, powerful enough to destroy this continent.

"Hmm?" Yunlong frowned because he suddenly felt a titled douluo's aura.

Even though it was small, the aura was unfamiliar yet familiar to him, making it even weirder.

Tang San looked at Ma Xiaotao and Su Yanyu exchanging blows. They were moving so fast, so people only saw wind and fire dancing in the air.

BOOM!

The impact washed over the entire arena, and Tang San couldn't help but observe this scenery with a speechless look on his face.

"I know Ma Xiaotao was strong, but this..." Tang San muttered with a purple gleam in his eyes.

Crack!

Su Yanyu was blown away by Ma Xiaotao and struck into one of the pillars.

Cough!

"This won't do, I guess." She silently commented while grasping the crack on the pillars.

Liu Erlong's cold glare pierced through Su Yanyu and caused her to have a wry smile on her face.

She could easily understand her teacher's gaze because it means "if you lose here, then die later on my hand."

"I don't want to use it, but whatever." Su Yanyu manifested her bamboo flute martial soul and broke it into pieces.

Su Yanyu's spirit rings materialized one by one, and a black spirit ring appeared out of nowhere.

She actually was supposed to be a spirit ancestor with four spirit rings, but that was a lie because she suppressed her cultivation.

(An: It's cliche, I know)

BOOM!

"Valkyrie Transformation." Su Yanyu whispered, causing armor made of wind to cover her entire body.

She slowly walked out of the crack, and her new appearance greeted everyone, shocking them in the process.

A 2-meter lance like a miniature tornado appeared on Su Yanyu's hand. She glanced at Ma Xiaotao and lightly pushed her new weapon toward her.

"Hear my breeze, tempest." She chanted.

BOOM!

Ma Xiaotao's eyes quickly widened because a shadow of an enormous lance developed in front of her.

"What is this?" She crossed her arms to defend.

BOOM!

The attack penetrated Ma Xiaotao's defense and caused a hole to appear on her shoulder.

"Xiaotao!" Flander shouted with a worried tone.

Su Yanyu pulled her lance back and pushed it forward once more, causing the entire stage to receive a powerful gush of a storm.

BOOM!

Crack!

BOOOOOM!

KYAAAA!

The audience immediately screamed in horror because the barrier exploded, causing some contestants' attacks to break out.

Ma Xiaotao's flames spread out and reached over onto the audience seat, but Liu Erlong quickly took care of it.

However, because of Su Yanyu's attack, all fireballs were flown out of the stage.

Five fireballs powered by Liu Erlong's spirit energy moved toward the Supreme Pontiff and the holy son's viewing balcony.

This scenery caused another panic because Yunlong's fan screeched, fearing those fireballs would hurt him.

"Kyaaaa! NOO!"

"The holy son."

"Someone, please save him!"

Yunlong couldn't help but twitch his mouth in annoyance because even if those fireballs hit him, nothing would happen.

"How amusing." Bibi Dong chuckled on the side.

"Haa... You laugh at this, seriously?" Yunlong sighed while walking off his seat.

He casually looked at the fireballs and flicked his finger at them when they were about to reach him, making all of them disappear from this world.

BOOM! Pssst!

"Huh?!"

"EHHH!???"

"WHAT!?!!"
