Douluo: Starting by Taking Control of the Holy Ghost Cult's Saintess

The next morning, when Xie Huanyue reappeared in the assessment area, many participating teams immediately recognized him. The weaker teams even felt a sense of fear.

A four-ring Soul Ancestor is still a four-ring, after all. He recovered so quickly! Wait, that's not right. Why does he look so listless?

In fact, it wasn't just him. Even Huo Yuhao and Cui Yejie had the same sickly appearance. The weakness originating from their souls was obvious at a glance.

Seeing this scene, Mu Jin, on the viewing platform, couldn't help but furrow her shapely brows, wondering, What's wrong with these three? How did they become so weak?

Huo Yuhao's group of three stood in the waiting area. Although their faces were full of exhaustion, their eyes were filled with joy.

Yes, they had succeeded. The Three-in-One Martial Soul Fusion Skill—they had actually managed to test it out!

Although a two-person martial soul fusion skill was rare, the base number of soul masters was so large that there were inevitably a few pairs in every era, and this didn't even include unknown combinations. But a martial soul fusion skill involving more than two people was truly and genuinely a world-rare sight.

Compared to the excitement of Huo Yuhao and Xie Huanyue, Cui Yejie, in addition to her excitement, also had a trace of resentment.

Last night, the three of them had successfully used the martial soul fusion skill, but the price was that their entire body's soul power was drained, and even their physical stamina was exhausted. If Huo Yuhao hadn't managed to hold on and lead them out of the Star Dou Great Forest, they would probably have become a meal in the belly of a soul beast by now. Afterward, the three of them had sat cross-legged in a deserted suburban area to cultivate and recover their soul power. It was also the first time Cui Yejie and Xie Huanyue had felt the planar life energy that Huo Yuhao drew in when he cultivated. Whether it was for tempering the body or purifying the martial soul, it was of great benefit.

The thought that Ning Tian and the other two girls had been messing around with Huo Yuhao ever since enrolling made Cui Yejie so jealous she was about to go mad.

Since Team Shi-Hi-Kai had the best results in the previous five rounds, without a single loss, they still remained in Area Sixty-Six. After the new draw and grouping, five new groups of new students were switched in to continue the assessment with them. And these new students would definitely not be the first place winners from other areas, so the next five round-robin matches would certainly not have them facing the strongest opponents. But compared to the previous teams of all one-rings, it might not be so easy.

Their opponent in this morning's round of assessment was the two girls from the original novel, Lan Luoluo and Lan Susu, and a supporting character named Huang Chutian. Yesterday, they had already been defeated by the strange ability of Cao Jinxuan from Wang Dong's team before their martial soul fusion. So today, the two Lan sisters were exceptionally cautious when facing Team Shi-Hi-Kai. Regardless of whether the fatigue of Huo Yuhao's group of three was a feint, they had to go all out to strive for a good result.

Both sides entered the field at the same time. Xie Huanyue and Cui Yejie were immediately surprised to find that in the opposing team, there was actually a pair of female students who looked exactly the same.

The two female students both had long blue hair, and their pretty little faces were flushed red, looking very cute. They should be a little younger than them.

Are they twins?

And in front of the two female students was a tall and sturdy male student, who was clearly that Huang Chutian, the captain of their small team of three.

"My name is Huang Chutian. The one on their left is Lan Susu, and the one on the right is Lan Luoluo. Please guide us, Brother Xie," It was clear that the oppressive force of Xie Huanyue's four rings was still there. Huang Chutian introduced Huo Yuhao's group of three in a friendly manner.

"Huo Yuhao, Xie Huanyue, Cui Yejie," Huo Yuhao, adhering to the principle of "if you respect me a foot, I'll respect you a zhang," responded with a smile.

Both sides took their positions. On Huo Yuhao's side, it was still the original order: Xie Huanyue in front, Cui Yejie in the middle, and Huo Yuhao in the corner at the very back.

On the other side, Huang Chutian was at the very front, with Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo behind him. The competition rules stipulated that each team could have at most one power-attack type battle soul master, so this pair of twin girls would not be power-attack. They were very likely to be dual auxiliaries or dual controllers.

With a command from the supervising teacher, both sides quickly released their martial souls. Huang Chutian let out an angry roar and forcefully beat his own chest with both fists. He was not yet twelve years old, but he was already over 1.5 meters tall. When he released his martial soul, his figure instantly shot up to about 1.8 meters. His thick muscles directly burst his casual clothes, and his exposed skin all turned iron-black. His eyes changed from their original black to yellow, and two canine teeth protruded slightly from his thickened lips. His four limbs were exceptionally thick and strong, and each piece of muscle was as solid and powerful as steel.

The twin girls behind him also released their martial souls at the same time. Their martial souls were actually their hair. And two soul rings also appeared at each of their feet, both yellow. With a flick of their heads, their long blue hair behind them immediately flew up and quickly spread out in the air, soon becoming blue hair strands over ten meters long, drifting in the air.

This was clearly a powerful team composed entirely of three students of two rings or more! They didn't even get first place in their area? This was also the second new student team composed entirely of two-ring Great Soul Masters that Huo Yuhao and his team had encountered.

Unlike the first battle, Huo Yuhao and Xie Huanyue stomped their feet and flanked the opposing Huang Chutian from the left and right.

Huo Yuhao fully utilized his current identity as an agility-attack type soul master. His entire person transformed into a stream of pitch-black light and was the first to arrive in front of Huang Chutian. The Soul-Slaying Blade in his hand swung wide, hacking towards his body.

Huang Chutian's martial soul was the Great Power Divine Ape, which was also a considerably formidable martial soul, known for its bronze skin, iron bones, and immense strength. But it was actually unable to block the "tool martial soul" in Huo Yuhao's hand. It wasn't that his strength was inferior, but that the blade contained a strange sharpness that could directly cut through attacks condensed from soul power. If he didn't dodge, his fists would probably be heavily injured.

Just as Xie Huanyue also arrived in front of Huang Chutian, on the other side, Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo joined hands. A more intense soul power fluctuation suddenly burst forth from them. The previously over ten-meter-long blue hair instantly flew up, forming a large net in the air that swung directly towards Xie Huanyue.

Hair Net. This was the identical first soul skill of the Lan twin girls. Two identical soul skills, plus their telepathic cooperation, in Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection, when that large blue net shrouded towards Xie Huanyue, there were actually no blind spots or flaws.

Huang Chutian was forced to retreat rapidly by Huo Yuhao's sharp Soul-Slaying Blade, retreating into the hair net. But the blue hair seemed to have grown eyes and parted one after another, not touching his body.

Huo Yuhao understood. The other side was a combination of one power-attack and two controllers. Moreover, the two control-type soul masters on the other side were twins, so their cooperation was naturally even closer.

However, your troublesome hair, in front of this incomparably sharp Soul-Slaying Blade, is it useful?

"It's up to you!" Under the guidance of Huo Yuhao's spiritual sharing, Xie Huanyue did not dodge the surrounding hair net and went straight for Huang Chutian.

Huo Yuhao responded with a sound and was the first to arrive at the center of the shrouding hair net. He sheathed his Soul-Slaying Blade at his waist, his expression turning serious.

"Single-Sword Style Iaido—Sing a Poem as a Song!"

This was a sword technique that Huo Yuhao had honed himself, based on the art of drawing the sword that he had heard of in his previous life. With extremely fast drawing speed and an unpredictable slashing trajectory, it dealt a fatal blow to the opponent. In his previous life, this kind of move could only be used after countless physical exercises and with a bit of talent in sword skills, relying on internal energy. But in this life, with the concept of soul power, many martial arts could be used by him at will.

The oncoming hair net was instantly cut apart. The two Lan sisters' faces immediately showed shock. That was, after all, two hundred-year soul skills. How could they be as fragile as paper in front of this blade!

Before the twins could react, Cui Yejie's original second soul skill, the Fox Tail Needle, with its force pulled back, also arrived, forcing them to separate to dodge this blow.

The moment the hair net was broken, Xie Huanyue directly used his third soul skill, Bone Balloon. One of his arms instantly swelled and enlarged. Perhaps because Xie Huanyue's air-blowing action looked like it was all for show in Huang Chutian's eyes, being forced into a corner of the field, he simply chose to take this balloon-like fist head-on.

"Second Soul Skill, Iron Body!"

Boom!

Then, all the audience saw was Xie Huanyue's giant-like fist smashing directly into Huang Chutian's body. The immense force that came at him almost flattened him, and his body shot out of the field like a cannonball.

"Chutian!" the twin sisters cried out in alarm. Just as they were about to rush to the rescue, they were grabbed by the neck by Cui Yejie and Huo Yuhao, one each, and held in mid-air.

Instant kill!

Area Sixty-Six instantly became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

The students who had previously been questioning Xie Huanyue's four rings all obediently shut their mouths at this moment. A four-ring was a four-ring. Unless one used treacherous tricks, dealing with these one or two-ring new students was pretty much one punch per little friend!

Huang Chutian outside the field, with half his face swollen like a balloon, was the best example!

Even though Huo Yuhao's team was not in perfect condition, their strength was still at the top of the new student group! Without a doubt!
