Chapter 725 The Terrifying Meng Yiran
Xiao Wu excels in close combat, and so does Meng Yiran.
At this moment, Meng Yiran, who was slightly petite, seemed like a female war goddess, constantly waving her snake staff and hammering Xiao Wu again and again.
As an outstanding weapon spirit master, Meng Yiran fully demonstrated her strengths.
Although weapon spirit masters do not have the same explosive power as beast spirit masters before they possess the unique martial spirit true body of a level 70 soul saint.
However, the advantage of weapon spirit masters lies in their endurance in combat and their sharp and swift attacks.
With her sharp and varied attack methods, Meng Yiran's snake staff was incredibly powerful, causing Xiao Wu, who was covered in golden light, to feel somewhat flustered.
Her once invincible soft skills lost their balance slightly, giving Meng Yiran an opportunity to take advantage of her, and she was accidentally hit a few more times.
It may not be very harmful, but it is extremely insulting.
Seeing that she had even unleashed her invincible golden body, yet was still being suppressed by her opponent, Xiao Wu was filled with resentment, her face contorted as if she were about to grind her teeth to dust.
Taking advantage of the time while her invincible golden body was still active, Xiao Wu quickly organized a counterattack. Seeing that Meng Yiran had abandoned her ranged attacks and chosen to fight her in close combat, it suited her just the way she wanted.
Xiao Wu was secretly delighted. She immediately abandoned the idea of creating distance and instead turned around to withstand the heavy blow from Meng Yiran's snake staff, clinging to Meng Yiran's body.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Wu was close to Meng Yiran's body, and her soft skills finally had a chance to be used.
"First Soul Skill, Waist Bow!"
Xiao Wu's lips curled slightly, and without hesitation, she immediately used her most proficient soul skill, Waist Bow.
As the first soul ring on her body emitted a dazzling yellow light, Xiao Wu's waist strength instantly increased by 130% and her resilience by 80%. She arched her back and prepared to strike, then kicked Meng Yiran's slender waist with both feet.
However, to Xiao Wu's surprise, her powerful kick did not land properly. Instead, it felt like she had kicked a soft ball of cotton, without making a ripple.
The immense power condensed from her soul had nowhere to go, and her feet slipped into the air, causing her body to tilt forward and lose her balance.
Just then, the golden light surrounding Xiao Wu began to dissipate, the three-second absolute defense time for those below the god level ended, and her invincible golden body was broken.
Meng Yiran naturally didn't let this opportunity pass and finally revealed her true strength.
Yellow, purple, and black, four dazzling soul rings rose from beneath his feet, and his level 49 Soul Master-level soul power suddenly erupted, instantly overwhelming the entire arena.
At this moment, Meng Yiran's second spirit ring had just gone out, and her first spirit ring immediately lit up again.
The reason why Xiao Wu's invincible waist bow kick missed was because Meng Yiran used the second soul ring skill in the form of the snake staff, snake body.
With the added flexibility of her snake body, Meng Yiran easily neutralized Xiao Wu's waist kick.
In terms of softness and resilience alone, how can a rabbit compare to a snake? Besides, snakes eat rabbits and are their natural enemy.
Although Meng Yiran's snake staff is a weapon spirit, it has a natural advantage over Xiao Wu's soft-boned rabbit spirit in terms of spirit attributes.
Moreover, there is a huge gap in soul power between the two sides. From the very beginning of the competition, the outcome was already decided: Xiao Wu could not possibly be Meng Yiran's opponent.
With a cold snort, Meng Yiran activated her two spirit ring skills almost simultaneously.
Her second soul skill, Serpent Body, granted her the flexibility and speed of a snake. As her body swayed, her waist suddenly softened, and she dodged Xiao Wu's waist arch with lightning speed.
At the same time, the snake-headed cane in her hand suddenly rose and swung backward, pointing directly at Xiao Wu's face, unleashing her first soul skill, Serpent Blade.
From the snake head at the tip of the serpent staff, a two-foot-long tongue blade shot out, instantly closing the distance between them and Xiao Wu.
The tongue blade was clearly covered in deadly poison, its surface a dazzling blue that exuded a deadly threat.
In an instant, Meng Yiran's snake staff transformed into several snake shadows, carrying surging and domineering soul power, almost covering all the space where Xiao Wu could dodge.
The several beams of light and shadow conjured by the serpent staff were not all real, but they couldn't be called fake either. One of the beams of light and shadow was the serpent staff itself, only rapidly shifting between reality and illusion.
The essence of the Serpent Blade soul skill lies in its blend of truth and falsehood, and in what makes it so powerful.
The suddenly growing snake blade arrived extremely abruptly, reaching Xiao Wu in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, Xiao Wu lost her balance because her kicks missed the target. It was the time when her old strength had just been used up and her new strength had not yet been generated, so she had no time to dodge.
"ah--"
With a piercing scream, Xiao Wu's delicate face was struck head-on by the snake shadow spewed from the snake staff, and she fell backward, looking as if she had willingly gone to take the beating.
Xiao Wu covered her face with her hands and rolled on the ground.
Through the gaps between her fingers, one could clearly see that her small face had turned a bright red and bluish-green, a terrifying mixture of blood and poison.
"You! You're poisonous."
A moment later, Xiao Wu shakily raised her hand, pointing at Meng Yiran, her eyes filled with resentment and fear. But before she could finish a sentence, she coughed up a mouthful of blood and fainted.
"Nonsense, my martial soul is a snake staff, so it's normal for it to be poisonous."
Faced with Xiao Wu's accusation, Meng Yiran casually rolled her eyes, looking completely matter-of-fact. Then, she brandished her snake staff, suddenly pointing it in the direction of Tang San and Dai Mubai, her voice cold and ruthless:
"You're next!"
On the side of the training ground, the relaxed expressions and smiles on the faces of the Shrek Seven Devils, including Tang San, all froze.
Xiao Wu's swift defeat was completely unexpected.
"No—, Xiao Wu!"
Seeing Xiao Wu faint after being severely injured by Meng Yiran, Tang San was heartbroken and could hardly breathe. He cried out in grief and used his Ghost Shadow Tracking technique to rush to Xiao Wu's side as quickly as possible and hugged her in his arms.
"Oh no, Xiao Wu!"
Yu Xiaogang, Flander, Qin Ming, and the others belatedly realized what was happening and led the remaining five members of the Shrek Seven Devils to follow.
"You dare hurt Xiao Wu? You're asking for death!"
Upon seeing Xiao Wu's face covered in blood and poison, a bloody mess, Tang San instantly broke down. His hatred and killing intent surged uncontrollably, and he turned and roared at Meng Yiran.
Yu Xiaogang and the others from Shrek Academy all turned their gazes to Meng Yiran on the other side, their eyes revealing anger and dissatisfaction, as if they all felt that Meng Yiran had gone too far.
Using poison is one thing, but to deliberately spray it on someone's face—is he trying to ruin Xiao Wu?
"What, you all want to come at me together?"
Facing the predatory gazes of Shrek and his group, Meng Yiran remained unfazed. Instead, a light, mocking smile appeared on her small face, revealing obvious disdain and ridicule.
A simple sentence, yet it was like igniting a powder keg.
Tang San immediately put Xiao Wu down, stood up angrily, and Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Yu Tianheng followed to greet him.
Oscar and Ning Rongrong exchanged a glance, their expressions slightly helpless, yet they had no choice but to state their position.
Since their teammates had all stepped forward, they couldn't remain indifferent, otherwise they would seem out of place and it would be detrimental to team harmony.
Meng Yiran stood still, not taking a step back, simply watching the other person approach.
Naturally, the Beast Academy couldn't stand by and watch their captain be bullied by the opponents. The team members stepped onto the competition field almost immediately, and seven or eight people rushed up in a flash, standing behind Meng Yiran and glaring at the Shrek Seven Devils.
The two sides thus entered into a standoff.
"What are you doing?"
The referee arrived promptly, but he only used words to stop both sides.
"Are you looking for death? How dare you bully my granddaughter?!"
Before the two teams could get close, a clear, cold voice suddenly rang out throughout the stadium.
Her voice didn't sound very loud, and it had a hint of age, but it was clear enough for tens of thousands of people in the audience to hear it very clearly.
Immediately afterwards, both teams realized that two more people had suddenly appeared in the center of the field. With their appearance, an overwhelming aura swept towards the Shrek Seven Devils as if it were an insurmountable force.
Flander and Qin Ming changed color almost simultaneously, hurriedly activating their martial souls and soul rings, unleashing their soul power, and standing at the very front.
This is how they withstood the overwhelming force and saved the Shrek Seven Devils and the others.
The people who suddenly appeared in the center of the field were none other than Meng Yiran's grandparents, the Dragon Lord Meng Shu and the Snake Lady Chao Tianxiang, who were known as the "Peerless Dragon and Snake".
The one who spoke just now was Snake Granny Chaotianxiang, while the one who unleashed an aura that suppressed the Shrek Seven Devils was Dragon Duke Meng Shu.
Who is Gaishi Longshe?
The ruler of the Dragon Serpent Mansion, the largest soul master force in the Barak Kingdom, is a man of great prestige in the soul master world of Douluo Continent. However, this prestige is not a good one, but rather a fearsome one.
This shows that the couple are not exactly good-natured, easy-going people.
Seeing that the Shrek Seven Devils dared to bully their precious granddaughter, Meng Yiran, the two elderly people who loved and even doted on her could not tolerate it and naturally had to stand up for their granddaughter.
They rushed over from the VIP seats almost without thinking, and immediately unleashed their soul power, overwhelming the Shrek Academy members with their incomparably powerful aura.
If Flander and Qin Ming had reacted any slower, Yu Xiaogang and the Shrek Seven Devils behind them would have been suppressed to the point of vomiting blood.
Even so, they were still not having a good time.
After all, one of them was a Soul Saint and the other was only a Soul Emperor. Faced with the aura that Dragon Lord Meng Shu, who was at the Soul Douluo level, unleashed in an instant, they could only barely resist.
Moreover, this was under the condition that Long Gong Meng Shu intentionally held back.
Under the immense pressure from Long Gong Meng Shu, the Shrek Seven Devils stopped almost simultaneously.
Even Tang San dared not take another step forward, his forehead dripping with cold sweat, staring at the peerless dragon and snake opposite him with a face full of horror.
"This is a competition, what are you trying to do?"
A deep, chilling voice entered the arena. If the Snake Granny's voice was captivating, then this voice sent shivers down one's spine.
Platinum Bishop Salas had somehow risen from his VIP seat, his gaze coldly fixed on both sides in the arena.
Looking into Salas's cold eyes, Flander subconsciously swallowed, feeling a sudden sense of fear and guilt for some reason.
But he gritted his teeth, turned around, and bowed respectfully towards the VIP section.
"Your Excellency, please calm down. We are only carrying our students away; we have no other intentions."
Salas remained noncommittal, simply looking at him coldly:
"Hmph, I don't care what your purpose is. Non-participants are not allowed to enter the competition venue without the referee's permission. That's an ironclad rule."
After speaking, Salas paused briefly, glanced at the Dragon and Snake couple in the arena, thought for a moment, and then changed the subject:
"Considering that this is your first offense, we can let it go."
"But please remember your place and do not repeat this mistake, otherwise you will be disqualified and expelled from this competition."
"Now, immediately, right now, return to your original positions and continue the game according to the rules."
The potentially explosive scene was thus suppressed by Salas's nonchalant words.
However, the tension between the Shrek Seven Devils and the Beast Academy has undoubtedly intensified.
…………
Picking up Xiao Wu, Tang San walked step by step towards the edge of the arena, while Dai Mubai, the second member of the Shrek Seven Devils to appear, also slowly walked into the arena.
"Boss Dai, avenge Xiao Wu!"
As their bodies brushed past each other, Tang San's tightly pursed lips twitched slightly, uttering a sentence filled with hatred.
If the tactical arrangements for this match hadn't already been finalized, Tang San would have really wanted to take Dai Mubai's place and personally avenge Xiao Wu.
Dai Mubai's ears twitched slightly, clearly he had taken it to heart. He met Tang San's gaze, nodded firmly to him, and then walked into the arena with a solemn expression.
Although Dai Mubai made a very straightforward promise, he was actually unsure of himself and whether he could defeat Meng Yiran, let alone avenge Xiao Wu.
He said that simply because he didn't want to embarrass Tang San, and even more so because he didn't want Tang San to have any complaints about him.
Dai Mubai had a very clear view of the match just now.
Meng Yiran's strength is definitely not weak; she is far superior to the academy students from the five kingdoms and duchies.
Even Xiao Wu couldn't last more than a few rounds before being defeated. If he were to take the stage, he might not fare any better.
The four bright yellow, purple, and black spirit rings on Meng Yiran's body were already terrifying enough, not to mention that judging from the intensity of his spirit power aura, his opponent's spirit power was obviously several levels higher than his.
Is this the kind of opponent I can handle?
At this moment, Dai Mubai couldn't help but doubt his own strength, but he had no choice but to go on stage and compete with his opponent.
The goal was to find out Meng Yiran's strength; otherwise, the Shrek Seven Devils would definitely suffer in the later matches.
Besides, she might not be inferior to Meng Yiran. Not everyone can be as freakish as the Spirit Hall's Second Team, right? Although she also has a black, ten-thousand-year fourth spirit ring.
After calming his mind, Dai Mubai's apprehension gradually turned into determination.
