As the saying goes, attack the enemy where they must save themselves. Die Qiu didn't even think about it; she activated the Golden Dragon Domineering Body and immediately threw Gungnir directly at Ah De's heart.
A red line of fate, visible only to the two of them, connected the tip of Gungnir directly to Ah De's heart. The feeling of death approaching made the hair on his body stand on end.
This was a killing blow!
Ah De let out a strange cry and retreated instantly. The blood-colored light shadow returned to his body, dodging the red line that determined his fate.
Die Qiu certainly didn't intend to kill him directly. The fate lock lost its target as Ah De retreated, but Gungnir did not stop, stabbing fiercely onto the Invincible Barrier Ah De carried with him.
Clang!
The Invincible Barrier shattered immediately, but the momentum of Gungnir also stagnated because of it.
Ah De continued to attack. As his hands churned, red rays of light suddenly appeared strangely in the arena. The rays were densely packed in the place where Die Qiu and he had fought earlier. All rays actually turned into sharp blades respectively, cutting straight towards Die Qiu's body.
Heavenly Net of Blood. This time it was no longer a soul skill, but a foreshadowing buried by his pair of sharp claws.
His sharp claws were also a pair of Level 6 soul tools. To participate in this competition, the Bright Jade Sect really invested heavily.
This pair of sharp claw finger stalls was named Bloody Cutting. Every attack would be accompanied by sharp blood lines like fine threads.
This kind of soul tool was actually a pure soul guide energy ray with strong cutting power.
This ability was equivalent to connecting a second attack while attacking. It was definitely a quite powerful one among melee soul tool abilities.
What was more terrifying was that this Bloody Cutting also had a hidden ability. It could also not let its own blood-colored rays appear at the first moment, but hide in the air where the sharp claws had swiped. When necessary, the user would activate them. Once activated, these rays could impact ten meters, bursting out tyrannical attack power like sharp blades slashing out.
They attacked randomly, not necessarily in which direction, but just wouldn't attack the person carrying Bloody Cutting.
Ah De had arranged this for so long. The pause time of the power of his Bloody Cutting on the arena was also approaching the limit. Only then did he use three soul skills consecutively, and then activate this powerful soul tool ability of his.
His purpose was simple: to achieve success in one fell swoop.
If he used the ability of Bloody Cutting as soon as he came up, although it might bring more trouble to Die Qiu, Ah De didn't have the confidence to defeat a Soul Emperor with the cultivation of a Soul King level.
So he chose to endure, quietly laying down a Heavenly Net of Blood with Bloody Cutting, waiting for the arrival of the best opportunity.
Activating it at this time, although those blood lines attacked randomly, Die Qiu, who was deeply trapped in it, would obviously be implicated and hit by the vast majority of blood lines. As long as a few of them could fall on her, it would be the key to defeating the enemy and winning victory.
This behavior was not only ruthless but even sinister. If Die Qiu's defense wasn't in place, then her body might be directly cut into pieces.
However, Die Qiu shared Huo Yuhao's foresight, so how could she not know his ability?
The role of intelligence was revealed undoubtedly at this moment. What Ah De didn't know yet was that from the beginning of the entanglement between the two, he had fallen into Die Qiu's trap.
Although Die Qiu seemed to be chasing him and launching fierce attacks all the time, at this time, those dense rays on the field happened to form a cocoon coincidentally, trapping Ah De inside. And Die Qiu had been standing in an absolutely safe position from the moment she threw Gungnir.
"Not good." Unbroken Douluo, as the referee, cried out inwardly. With a flash of his figure, he arrived in the air. A layer of white light net shrouded straight towards Ah De's body.
However, everything was too late. External attacks could be blocked, but how to block attacks from inside out?
The referee taking action meant Ah De lost. Die Qiu was waiting for this moment!
Under the cover of the Simulation soul skill, Die Qiu's sixth soul ring lit up.
Golden Dragon Berserk Domain!
Die Qiu tapped her toes fiercely on the ground and attacked brazenly. With the Golden Dragon Domineering Body attached to her body, she rushed into those dense blood-colored rays with a stride. Gungnir danced. Those extremely sharp rays were actually stirred up by the long spear like hemp ropes. Her body also arrived close to Ah De at the most critical moment.
At this time, Ah De was completely scared silly by his own big move. Die Qiu's intrusion was like the descent of a Valkyrie. She stood horizontally in front of him, easily blocking all the rays.
The Bright Jade Sect captain, who had been sitting motionless in the main seat of the waiting area, stood up instantly. A strong aura suddenly burst out from her body. But facing that powerful protective shield, she was also helpless.
Fortunately, the opponent disregarded the danger to her life and saved her stupid brother.
"Match ends, Earth Dragon Gate wins." Zheng Zhan wiped the sweat on his forehead, which was actually water, pulled the stunned Ah De out, and immediately announced.
Just as he announced the result of the match, a sharp whistle sounded suddenly. Immediately after, a figure had already gone onto the competition stage like black lightning. Almost with a flash of black light, she arrived in front of Die Qiu.
Just when everyone thought she was going to take the opportunity to attack Die Qiu, she bowed slightly to Die Qiu in front of countless people.
"Thank you for saving my brother." A hoarse but somewhat magnetic female voice sounded. This voice seemed very indifferent, but also seemed to carry a bit of lingering fear.
"Just a competition."
Die Qiu answered coldly and stuck Gungnir into the ground beside her, only her face was somewhat pale.
Hearing the dialogue between the two, Zheng Zhan's face eased slightly. He said in a deep voice: "No matter what relationship he has with you, you can't go on stage rashly. Next time, directly judged as a loss!"
To everyone's surprise, the captain of the Bright Jade Sect battle team shook her head: "No need to fight. Our Bright Jade Sect directly gives up all subsequent matches, considering it returning a favor to the Earth Dragon Gate."
Hearing her words, bursts of exclamations instantly erupted in the audience seats. It seemed that a kind act of Die Qiu unexpectedly allowed the Earth Dragon Gate to harvest the fruit of victory.
"You let me win." A faint smile appeared on Die Qiu's indifferent face.
From this moment on, the hostility of the people of the Sun Moon Empire towards the Earth Dragon Gate seemed to disappear a lot unknowingly. At least, since ancient times, few participating teams were willing to risk their lives to save their opponents.
The only time Die Qiu killed an opponent was under the circumstance that the referee was partial and the opponent harbored killing intent.
Or rather, this was the pattern of the Earth Dragon Gate disciples.
"Little girl, you are very good." A look of admiration rarely appeared on Zheng Zhan's old face as he said solemnly.
Having experienced this battle, this session of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition seemed to return to the original intention of holding the competition. The competition was just a spar and exchange between soul masters, not for the so-called academy glory and reputation.
Losing the competition wasn't shameful. What was important was the gain of both sides in the competition, which could be combat experience, skill tips, or friendship.
The audience in the whole venue instantly fell into deep thought for half a minute. Many participating teams that had killed opponents for the victory of the sect or academy were even more ashamed.
Everyone's eyes focused on Die Qiu on the field, whose face was pale but heroic.
"Golden Dragon Girl!"
"Golden Dragon Girl!"
Unknown who shouted like this, then large patches of cheers sounded one after another. The entire competition venue instantly fell into a fanatical state.
Huo Yuhao, who was paying attention to the competition scene with spiritual power, instantly showed a smile of emotion on his face.
Qiu'er, oh Qiu'er, whether in the original timeline or this life, you are the most eye-catching one in this competition...
At this time, Ah De, who brushed past the god of death, was taken away from the competition venue by his sister Cain, unable to help looking back frequently.
That goddess standing in the field accepting the cheers from the audience of the whole venue, standing with a long spear under the reflection of sunlight, appeared very mighty, possessing an indescribable beauty.
Ah De's usually cold face instantly thawed.
Oh no, it's the feeling of heartbeat!
...
After watching this match remotely, Huo Yuhao embarked on the journey to Star Dou with Bibi Dong contentedly.
This was the effect he wanted.
The name of the Earth Dragon Gate was already widely known. Qualifying from the round-robin tournament was not a big problem. Entering the top eight actually already completed his set goal.
Later, he only needed to constantly consume the combat power of the two Soul Douluos of the Tang Sect. In the finals, heavy characters could appear.
As long as he and those well-known partners didn't show up, with the glorious and positive image shaped by Qiu'er, the Earth Dragon Gate would always be the popular side.
He wanted to push the Tang Sect founded by Tang San completely to the opposite side of all people in the world!
Thinking like this, Huo Yuhao had arrived at the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest through continuous spatial crossing.
With Huo Yuhao's proficiency in controlling the power of space, the consumption of long-distance spatial jumps gradually decreased, and the opened spatial channel also became increasingly stable.
The power of space is indeed useful!
Huo Yuhao couldn't help thinking of the spatial means of Gu Yuena coming and going without a trace during the Dragon King Legend period. That was the highest level of control over the power of space. His current limit distance for one crossing was just barely hundreds of kilometers.
Bibi Dong, held in his arms, marveled secretly. Such spatial means might not be easily achieved even after she became a god in her previous life.
Wait until seeing the Star Dou Great Forest with her own eyes again, Bibi Dong couldn't help feeling a thousand emotions.
The last time she visited Star Dou in person in her previous life, she was on the verge of becoming a god. Unexpectedly, Tang San rushed out halfway and stole the hundred-thousand-year soul rings of the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape. She could only settle for the second best and chose two soul rings close to one hundred thousand years.
Of course, now, she also looked down on those two hundred-thousand-year soul rings, just like Huo Yuhao's body full of soul rings no lower than two hundred thousand years.
"Huo Yuhao?"
Regarding Huo Yuhao's arrival, Di Tian was still quite welcoming. After all, Huo Yuhao and his partners were benefactors of the Dragon Clan. Until now, Huo Yuhao's partners were still burying the dragon bones exposed in the wilderness in the Dragon Realm.
More importantly, the Soul Spirit Symbiosis System proposed by Huo Yuhao interested him very much. With this cultivation system, not only did soul masters not need to obtain soul rings by hunting soul beasts, but soul beasts could also grow together with human soul masters. This was beneficial to both sides.
Of course, the only defect was that with the popularization of the Soul Spirit System in the future, the output of soul bones would also decrease gradually. Among human soul masters, acts of killing people to take bones would be more likely to be born.
Man-made soul bones were matters of the Dragon King Legend period. Huo Yuhao didn't expect the soul tool technology of this era to create that stuff at all.
"One doesn't visit a temple without a cause. This kid came here this time to find a few soul beasts suitable to be Soul Spirits for my female companion." Huo Yuhao said straight to the point. The soul beast clan didn't like the twists and turns of the human world. Speaking frankly about matters like this and stating the purpose directly appeared generous instead.
"Oh? Is there already a plan?" Di Tian glanced at Bibi Dong aside casually. Even with his state of mind, he couldn't help being amazed in his heart.
Huo Yuhao directly told Di Tian about the soul beasts Bibi Dong hoped to sign contracts with. With Di Tian's status in Star Dou, finding these soul beasts shouldn't be difficult.
"Except for the hundred-thousand-year Man-Faced Demon Spider, I can find the others for you." After understanding Bibi Dong's idea, Di Tian answered directly.
Huo Yuhao sighed. Because the terrifying soul beast Man-Faced Demon Spider had too strong a murderous nature, it was often hunted by some powerful soul beasts. Being able to cultivate to a thousand years was already not easy, let alone ten thousand years.
After the strength reached ten thousand years, a special skill of concealment would appear. This skill of it could not only conceal its figure but also conceal its aura. Even spiritual detection could be shielded.
So regarding a Man-Faced Demon Spider close to one hundred thousand years, even Di Tian dared not say he had seen one. Because that kind of existence was very good at seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. Once fierce beasts like Di Tian approached, the Man-Faced Demon Spider would foresee it in advance and flee far away.
Sea God Tang San ten thousand years ago had quite a predestined relationship with the Man-Faced Demon Spider. Only even he had never encountered a Man-Faced Demon Spider close to one hundred thousand years.
"Then trouble Senior Di Tian to help find the other kinds first. I believe that after knowing the Soul Spirit Symbiosis System, they will also be willing to sign contracts with us." Huo Yuhao had to let it go. After all, some things really couldn't be rushed.
"You might go ask Xiong Jun. That guy once had some grudges with me. I have less contact with his territory. Maybe there will be news of the Man-Faced Demon Spider on his side." Di Tian thought of Xiong Jun and reminded.
Huo Yuhao criticized in his heart. You two fought for nothing in the past, making it hard for him to find a soul beast.
However, he remembered that the previous Thunderclap Nether Vine was also found by Xiong Jun for him. Maybe there really was news of the Man-Faced Demon Spider on his side.
The web control skill, neurotoxin, and those extremely sharp long legs of the Man-Faced Demon Spider were all very suitable for Bibi Dong's two Spider Emperor martial souls. If it was a hundred-thousand-year Man-Faced Demon Spider, maybe it could directly attach five soul rings to Bibi Dong.
"Then we'll go find Old Bear first." Huo Yuhao bid farewell to Di Tian and left in a hurry with Bibi Dong.
"Stinky brat, coming here and not saying to chat with this seat more." Di Tian looked at Huo Yuhao's departing back and mumbled in a low voice.
At this time, Bi Ji in a green dress came to Di Tian's side and massaged his shoulders gently.
"Di Tian, I can feel that the day you unload the burden of guarding Star Dou shouldn't be far away."
"Are you saying the Lord is about to succeed?" Di Tian looked at the sky with interest, "But when we left the Dragon Realm, the Lord said it would take at least ten thousand years to fully fuse the Golden Dragon King bloodline."
"But don't you think that human will be a variable that significantly shortens this process?" Bi Ji said with a smile.
"The Lord thinks highly of him." Di Tian didn't deny it.
"But don't you feel that the Lord seems to have a different kind of sentiment for this kid?"
