Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting

Ye Lingtong went on to explain what happened without Lan Xuanyu having to ask. “They’re from Ling Tian Academy. Lu Qianxun and Chang Jianyi were already killed by them. As their teammate, after they were killed, their points were transferred to me. They have to kill me to have half of our total points.”

Lan Xuanyu furrowed his brows. “There’s such a huge gap in strength?”

He knew how strong Lu Qianxun and Chang Jianyi were, especially Lu Qianxun. His Golden Lion Roar was no joke, and he was at the top in the Elite Junior Class for his combat power. How could he have been killed by his opponents while the three people just now didn’t seem to be scathed?

Ye Lingtong said sorrowfully, “They did a sneak attack. We encountered a Heavenly Demon Lion that had a cultivation of about 3,000 years, and we were so close to finally killing it. However, they suddenly mounted a sneak attack on Qianxun. He was severely injured and died under the claws of the Heavenly Demon Lion. To save me, Chang Jianyi took charge of the scene, which allowed me to escape. He was definitely killed by them.”

Lan Xuanyu immediately understood. It was apparent that one of the three people from Ling Tian Academy was adept at hiding. He had been eyeing Lu Qianxun’s team, waiting for an opportunity to attack. Finally, they showed their teeth when Lu Qianxun’s team was faced with the Heavenly Demon Lion. Not only did they take down that 3,000-year soul beast instead, but they even wanted to take the points of this team too. Regardless of whether it was their strength or strategy, they were above the rest. They were probably in the top ten teams in the previous round.

The tall, skinny youth riding the Shining Shining Tiger smiled. “I’ll introduce myself. I am Ling Tian Academy’s Li Yaoming!”

The youth with an illusory figure returned to normal. His figure solidified, and his face was slightly pale as he said plainly, “Ling Tian Academy’s Shu Zixuan.”

That young man with a broken wing glared ferociously at Ye Lingtong. “Ling Tian Academy’s Xu Rongxin.”

“Xu Rongxin? Vanity [1]?” Qian Lei had walked over at that moment and couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

But Lan Xuanyu’s expression was grave. He had seen these three names before in the qualifier. They were in fifth place!

No doubt, this would be their greatest competitor yet.

“Heaven Luo Academy’s Lan Xuanyu, Qian Lei, and Liu Feng.” Lan Xuanyu told all three of their names at the same time, but Liu Feng hadn’t appeared and was still hiding in the woods.

Hearing their names, the three people on the other side were shocked.

A big tree is a good shelter—these people placed first in the previous round and even scored over 20,000 points. They might also be the overall champions of the qualifier in the entire Federation. The other party was obviously shocked, especially since they didn’t know how strong their opponents were.

“So it’s the champion of the qualifier, huh,” Li Yaoming said indifferently. “I’ve been looking forward to meeting you. I believe you guys understand that if we were to fight, it’d likely be a miserable ending. Whoever wins would still have to pay a steep price. As long as Brother Lan is willing to hand that lady over to us, we’ll turn away and leave. I hope we could emerge as winners in this qualifier together.”

Faced with the champion, he was on his guard as well and naturally didn’t want to fight with Lan Xuanyu’s team. But they worked so hard to create this situation to gain the points of Ye Lingtong’s team and simply couldn’t bear to give up just like that.

He figured that the other party might not be willing to fight with them either since the situation was very clear. If both parties went all out, it was hard to tell who would be victorious, and just like with Lu Qianxun’s team, it would be very easy for other people to take advantage.

However, what threw Li Yaoming’s team off was Lan Xuanyu’s reply.

“Attack!” Lan Xuanyu shouted coldly. The Purple Lightning Dragon, not far away, lifted its head under Qian Lei’s control, and a thick streak of lightning went straight for Li Yaoming.

This attack was very sudden and unrestrained. The full blown attack of a 100-year Purple Lightning Dragon was no laughing matter. Although it was just a 100-year soul beast, as a pure bloodline ground dragon, its power was comparable to that of a 1,000-year.

Li Yaoming was taken aback. He didn’t understand why Lan Xuanyu would quickly decide to insist on fighting with them. This wasn’t what a logical person would do! He was the champion of the first round, so he should be a smart person.

Li Yaoming had no clue that this Purple Lightning Dragon was not a Spirit Soul but a summoned beast. There was a time limit to the summoning, and it was out of pure luck that Qian Lei managed to summon such a strong soul beast. How could he not make good use of the limited opportunity? Also, this fight wasn’t three against three, but rather, four against three.

Li Yaoming put his palms together in front of him, raising a light shield instantaneously and blocking the purple lightning’s attack.

After a loud rumble, white light burst forth and Li Yaoming almost fell from the Shining Tiger’s back. However, the Shining Tiger opened its mouth too, and an electric arrow shot towards Lan Xuanyu directly.

“Ye Lingtong, go.” Lan Xuanyu tied a strand of golden-patterned Blue Silver Grass around Ye Lingtong’s waist, and the power from his bloodline surged.

Ye Lingtong had already used up quite a bit of energy, but at that moment, she felt like something had awakened in her body. A low dragon’s roar resounded in her body. Her Celestial Shockwave had recovered to its peak performance and became an intense white light.

She looked at Lan Xuanyu with shock but knew that she couldn’t waste any time, so she immediately charged ahead.Read latest chapters at NovelFull

Li Yaoming’s team obviously didn’t expect that Lan Xuanyu would activate his attacks so quickly. Li Yaoming thought that it wouldn’t benefit either team, and even if the other party was the champion of the first round of qualifiers, with the age limitations, there wouldn’t be a very big gap in strength between them. Jumping into a fight like that simply made it too easy for others to take advantage of them.

But the other party had already started the fight and there was no turning back. His Shining Tiger jumped forward immediately, and he leaped and landed on its back. The white light around his body was released and shot out, but it didn’t attack, landing on Xu Rongxin instead.

Xu Rongxin released his Martial Soul once again, and his broken wing healed at an alarming rate. Shu Zixuan, who was next to Li Yaoming, moved in a flash; the halo of the spear in his hand flashed, creating over ten spear shadows to stop Ye Lingtong, who was charging over.

The Shining Tiger under Li Yaoming pounced and went straight for the Purple Lightning Dragon. Obviously, they could tell that the Purple Lightning Dragon was a rather huge threat. Its thunderbolt’s speed was simply too fast, and it was too difficult to even dodge.

Ye Lingtong didn’t pause at all as she charged forward. A strong Celestial Shockwave burst forth, and the halo of her second Soul Ring was released. Receiving Lan Xuanyu’s golden-patterned Blue Silver Grass’ enhancement, she felt the blood in her body boiling and an unprecedented amount of strength course through her entire body, begging to be released.

A dazzling white light burst outward, with her body as the core. The strong white light gushed out and devoured the spear shadows.

Shu Zixuan was stunned. He was a third ring Soul Elder, and had a unique Martial Soul and strong battle power. Whether it was dodging attacks or speed, he was among the top in Ling Tian Academy. His attack power was exceptionally strong and out of the ordinary.

However, when facing Ye Lingtong’s Celestial Dragon Martial Soul, he felt as if he was destroyed by an overbearing aura as the spear shadows disappeared one after another. A strong power travelled over, and he had no choice but to dodge.

Lan Xuanyu charged forth with Ye Lingtong, his target being Li Yaoming.

The Shining Tiger and Purple Lightning Dragon had already begun fighting. The Purple Lightning Dragon kept releasing bolts of lightning to stop the Shining Tiger from coming forth, and the Shining Tiger had also released light-attribute attacks to fight against it. In just a moment, they entered a deadlock.

The Shining Tiger was definitely a 1,000-year soul beast that had a fairly strong, rarely seen battle power.

Xu Rongxin’s wing healed fairly quickly. After Li Yaoming released the Holy Light next to him, he went forward and his whole body took on a golden glow. A gold figure slowly appeared behind him, and three Soul Rings appeared beneath his feet; two yellow and one purple as he began ascending. Rays of light shone from his second Soul Ring, and when faced with Lan Xuanyu, both his eyes became a stunning white color. He waved his arms, and a giant light ball erupted from his body.
