The match continued.
This time, the referee learned a lesson. He didn't wait for both sides to be in position like before before raising his right arm high and waving it down abruptly.
The young man named Zhou Xinghao didn't fly up like Shi Xing before. As soon as the referee waved his hand, he raised his hands. A cluster of black light lit up suddenly. A conical metal weight with a maximum diameter of over half a meter appeared in his hand. He threw it fiercely at the ground in front of him. With a "bang", the metal weight had landed on the ground and then spun violently. Accompanied by ear-piercing clanking sounds, it instantly turned into a wide base.
He leaped up. At least twelve places on his body emitted the light of storage soul tools. A typical soul guide turret tactic opening.
But just at this time, Zhou Xinghao was somewhat dumbfounded. His soul guide turret had just begun to enter the second stage combination, and the time added with the previous throwing was no more than two seconds, but Die Qiu's fierce spear light had already rushed to his face.
A layer of golden light rose suddenly from Zhou Xinghao's body. The Invincible Barrier was forced out in the first round of the frontal confrontation between the two sides.
"Bang—" The golden halo on the Invincible Barrier fluctuated widely, scaring Zhou Xinghao's face pale. Could this girl break even the Invincible Barrier?
A prophecy came true. A terrifying shock wave penetrated the Invincible Barrier, shaking all the bones in his body.
"This rhythm is wrong!" Zhou Xinghao spat out a mouthful of blood directly. Logically speaking, even the strength of an Assault System Soul Emperor couldn't transmit the shock wave in so quickly.
Below the stage, Ma Ruhu was so angry that he stood up. How could he not see that his teammate was completely suppressed by the opponent, even his fighting spirit was suppressed.
There was no suspense in this match at all. Accurately speaking, there was no suspense from the beginning. After all, Die Qiu was a Soul Douluo—
For the first soul guide cannon release, Zhou Xinghao chose the High-Explosive Shell with the strongest explosive power. He had only one goal, to force Die Qiu away and give himself some space to perform.
Feeling the consumption of his soul power at this time, he wanted to cry but had no tears. But what could he do? He could only consume some of this violent beauty's soul power as much as possible.
"Boom—"
A cluster of intense golden light burst from Die Qiu's body. Then, that High-Explosive Shell exploded.
Smashed by a spear.
The close-range explosion didn't even push Die Qiu away temporarily. That powerful explosive force also acted on the Invincible Barrier at the same time.
Zhou Xinghao only felt his own soul power drop sharply again. Then he saw Die Qiu holding the spear in a thrusting posture again. Moreover, the Invincible Barrier was about to run out of time.
The defense of the last second of the Invincible Barrier collapsed loudly at the moment Gungnir pierced. Zhou Xinghao only felt his own soul power drop to zero instantly.
The referee had been paying attention to the battle between the two. At the moment the Invincible Barrier shattered, he had arrived. There might be close combat later. As a referee, he naturally had to prevent bloodshed on the Sun Moon side.
Slapping directly on that long spear with a palm, the referee didn't use too much force. After all, he was a Soul Sage level powerhouse. He couldn't affect the match excessively. If he weakened Die Qiu's strength too much, that would be unfair to the match.
However, at the moment his palm touched Gungnir, the referee withdrew his hand as if getting an electric shock, his eyes full of horror.
Just in that instant of contact, he felt the soul power in his whole body as if melting. Fortunately, he withdrew his hand in time, but the final consumption of soul power still shocked him greatly.
As a Soul Sage level powerhouse, his soul power actually vanished by thirty percent in an instant of contact!
Seeing him take action, Die Qiu didn't strike to kill this time. Gungnir just touched Zhou Xinghao's body, draining all his soul power in an instant.
On the Sun Moon Team side, everyone stood up.
This second match, although there were no casualties, was lost again. Zhou Xinghao's strength wasn't weak! But he was suppressed to only release one High-Explosive Shell.
Ma Ruhu leaped onto the competition stage. He absolutely couldn't let Die Qiu continue to consume like this. Otherwise, without enough manpower, how to play the team match?
They had planned long ago to test the opponent in the first two matches. If the opponent was too strong, then he would go up personally.
Looking at that extremely powerful Wang Qiu'er Die Qiu, Ma Rulong's heart also tightened at this time. Obviously, she had also hidden her strength before.
Otherwise, even a Six-Ring Soul Emperor from Shrek couldn't defeat a Level 5 Soul Engineer carefully selected by the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy in such a short time!
Die Qiu's gaze was still sharp, no different from before, face not red, breath not panting, as if she had never fought. Holding the middle of Gungnir, one end of the spear tip pointed obliquely to the ground, cold like a statue.
A faint light flickered in her beautiful eyes. Zhang Lexuan clasped her hands in front of her chest, quietly watching the situation on the field. She knew that the individual elimination match was a good opportunity for every member of the team to show themselves. Normally speaking, unless one could defeat all seven opponents with the strength of at most two people, the individual elimination match couldn't decide the outcome at all. More often, it was to weaken the opponent's strength through the individual elimination match and win in one fell swoop in the team match.
Die Qiu could indeed pierce through the Sun Moon Team alone, but Huo Yuhao asked them not to do so.
The limelight must be reserved only for the Tang Sect about to reach the top.
Why did Die Qiu appear first? As long as she defeated three opponents consecutively, she would be qualified to request entering the team battle and give up the subsequent individual elimination matches. With her domineering strength now, she could weaken the opponent's strength in the individual match while preserving certain combat power for herself.
In this way, in the team match, the Earth Dragon Gate members could consume the opponent's strength to a great extent, and finally lose to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.
The whole process was too fast. The audience only felt a blur before their eyes, and Die Qiu had already completely defeated Zhou Xinghao, so much so that they didn't react at all.
The strength of the Earth Dragon Gate made even the referee dare not favor the Sun Moon Team too much. After this match ended, he had received a message from the organizer to remove him, and Unbroken Douluo would supervise the battle personally.
Gloomy-faced Soul Emperor, Level 6 Soul Engineer Ma Ruhu was about to appear as the third individual competition representative.
This individual elimination match was likely to be the focal battle affecting the whole competition. Everyone in the Sun Moon Team straightened their bodies unconsciously, waiting quietly for the start of this match.
"Match begins!" Zheng Zhan announced the start of the third match of the individual elimination round with an extremely ugly face. With him supervising the match, the Sun Moon Team actually lost two people in a row, and one even died due to the negligence of the previous trash subordinate. To him, this was simply a great humiliation!
Ma Ruhu moved at the same time Zheng Zhan shouted the start of the match. With the previous lesson, he didn't immediately apply any cannon-type soul tools on himself, but released his martial soul at the first moment.
Two yellow, two purple, two black, six soul rings rose instantly, displaying his powerful Soul Emperor level cultivation.
Compared to his brother Ma Rulong, he leaned more towards the practical control soul guide system, possessing more powerful melee ability.
True to his name, his martial soul was a tiger, considered a relatively common type of beast martial soul, but under the blessing of various melee soul tools, he could compete with a true Soul Sage powerhouse.
However, what surprised Ma Ruhu, and even Zheng Zhan as the referee, was that this time, Die Qiu actually didn't launch an attack at the first moment. As a soul master good at melee combat, she actually had no intention of moving forward.
She just took a step forward with her left foot, turned her upper body halfway, raised her right hand holding Gungnir to her shoulder, and made a throwing-like movement.
Ma Ruhu, who just released his martial soul, immediately felt an indescribable terrifying aura fall on him instantly. When he looked at Die Qiu again, he saw her eyes seemed to emit a special strange brilliance, and her whole person even appeared somewhat blurry.
And that long spear with sharp ends in her hand burst out dazzling brilliant red light. The strong red light even condensed into a color like light flame rising continuously. Even her whole body began to emit dazzling red light, looking as tough as possible.
A layer of golden scales began to spread from her right hand holding the spear, growing towards her whole body, soon covering her entire body except her face. Among the six soul rings rising on her body, the first and second soul rings shone brightly.
First Soul Skill: Golden Dragon Body, and Second Soul Skill: Dragon's Strength, even stimulated her Golden Dragon innate ability, Golden Pride, raising her own terrifying power attribute of the Golden Dragon to the extreme.
Ma Ruhu could vaguely feel that there seemed to be a red line connecting that long spear and his heart in the dark.
What the hell is this? Ma Ruhu's mouth twitched wildly. He only felt an unprecedented pressure. Even his waist couldn't straighten up. No matter how he moved and dodged, he couldn't avoid this red line.
How can this Soul Emperor be so fierce!
Die Qiu at this time was like a volcano in an erupting state. Strong crimson light flame spread all over her body. With the enhancement of the light flame, even her main body was hidden in it. That crimson light flame gradually converged into the appearance of a huge crimson dragon head, emitting roars that terrified everyone.
Although everyone in the Sun Moon Team judged that the captain Nan Qiuqiu of the Earth Dragon Gate battle team was very strong. However, who could have thought that this member of theirs would be tough to such an extent? The strength Die Qiu displayed at this moment had completely exceeded Ma Ruhu's previous judgment.
He just felt difficulty breathing now, as if his heart was bound by a tough invisible thread. And that feeling of fear gradually made it difficult for him to even breathe. It seemed that in the next moment, that terrifying long spear would pierce his heart.
Without any hesitation, Ma Ruhu, with very rich combat experience, opened the soul guide shield at the first moment, defending his whole body inside. At the same time, a tiger head shield appeared in his hand.
With this set of at least Level 6 soul tools possessing his body, he felt slightly better. But he discovered with horror that the dragon head transformed from the light flame rising on Die Qiu opposite was actually struggling to rise, showing a trend of turning into a real Dragon King.
I gave her too much time to accumulate power!
What no one knew was that Die Qiu used the Simulation soul skill to shield her lighting-up eighth soul skill—
Golden Dragon Prison Suppression Kill, which could only be displayed after transforming into the Golden Dragon King bloodline!
Ma Ruhu clenched his teeth tightly. He knew that at this time, the opponent's power accumulation was close to completion. Once erupted, it would definitely be an earth-shattering blow.
Not only her, but even Zheng Zhan as the referee became nervous unconsciously.
God knows what consequences Wang Qiu'er's blow would bring. Even Zheng Zhan felt alarmed by the power released from that strange long spear. Was this an aura that a Soul Emperor level powerhouse could release?
That long spear in her hand was definitely not any soul tool, but its power probably wouldn't be lower than a Grade 9 soul tool. Where did this Earth Dragon Gate get so many powerful treasures?
"Woo—" A low dragon roar sounded. The struggling huge dragon head finally rose. The brilliant blood color was its body. The terrifying aura made everyone tremble.
Red light shot into the sky. Just when that dragon roar became the highest pitched, it shot out instantly. That airborne blood-colored giant dragon immediately chased closely. The terrifying blood color illuminated the entire competition stage in an instant, and it had only one target.
"I surrender!"
A scene unexpected to everyone appeared. Ma Ruhu suddenly held his head with both hands, squatted down quickly, and opened the Invincible Barrier at the same time. His scream was so high in decibels that it could probably shatter the glass of a hotel next door.
Unbroken Douluo Zheng Zhan was originally like a taut string. Hearing his scream, he acted almost instantly. A layer of white barrier rose instantly, wanting to block Gungnir's path.
However, the penetrating power of that touch of blood-colored sharp light was so terrifying that it pierced the barrier almost instantly. Moreover, its speed didn't decrease. Suddenly bursting, the following blood-colored giant dragon tore that layer of white barrier to pieces.
On the rostrum, the Sun Moon high-level officials couldn't sit still collectively. They stood up abruptly, looking nervously at the scene on the stage, their faces changing uncertainly.
How is it possible? How can the Earth Dragon Gate have a member with such powerful strength? They might not know what power Die Qiu's Gungnir had, but they were familiar with Unbroken Douluo Zheng Zhan!
The first layer of blocking barrier Zheng Zhan sent out earlier was a defensive Level 7 soul tool. The defense power was quite strong and very flexible. That was a throwing barrier unique to Zheng Zhan.
However, that Level 7 soul tool shattered after slightly blocking Wang Qiu'er's attack.
Now Zheng Zhan had to use the powerful soul tool he relied on for fame—Unbroken Divine Shield.
That was a genuine Grade 9 soul tool. But looking at the current situation, his Unbroken Divine Shield didn't seem to occupy an absolute upper hand, and didn't mean to overwhelm the opponent in quality at all.
Ma Ruhu squatting there had a pale face at this time. He understood very well that if he hadn't smartly chosen to surrender immediately, then the one bearing this terrifying impact now would be himself!
Let alone his little life, probably not even residue would be left! What level of attack power was this? It could actually really blast people into residue!
In the distance, Die Qiu beckoned with her right hand. Gungnir had turned into a stream of light returning to her hand. The golden scales on her body also disappeared like a tide.
Under the cover of Simulation, she looked pale, obviously looking like she had...
