Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting

Tong Mengru was truly fearsome for lasting several seconds while giving everything she had against the Crocodile Dragon before being killed.

Dorm 333 had won the first battle!

The Crocodile Dragon then disappeared along with the Gate of Summoning. Lights appeared and surrounded Lan Xuanyu and his team, instantly restoring their slightly exhausted Soul Powers.

Qian Lei sat down cross-legged without hesitation to make use of every second that he had to restore his exhausted Spiritual Power.

Unfortunately, the teachers were obviously unwilling to give them too much time to rest. The brilliance of light flashed as three figures appeared across them.

Qian Lei immediately stood up and began his second summon.

The Gate of Summoning appeared once more. Lan Xuanyu reverse gripped the column of the Gate with his right hand and enhanced it with the golden-patterned Blue Silver Grass.

At the same time, the three figures across them became clear.

Seeing the three, Lan Xuanyu, Liu Feng and Qian Lei’s expressions became strange, though there was some excitement within their queer looks.

It was Jin Xiang!

That’s right, standing opposite of them was Jin Xiang, who was supposedly said to have reached the 18th rank with his Flaming Bird Martial Soul; he was also the unruly troublemaker of the class.

Jin Xiang worked extremely hard in the three months, allowing his Soul Power to break through the 17th and 18th ranks consecutively.

No one could have anticipated the inevitable clash between the two teams.

The two youths by Jin Xiang’s side were Tang Yuege and Li Pengbin. The two were more low-profile compared to Jin Xiang. Although Jin Xiang’s relationship with others was not that great, he had a great bond with his roommates and was rather well coordinated. His group was one rank above Zhang Ruiyan’s in the entire class. Roughly at fourth place.

Of course, that was before Dorm 333’s sudden rise.

“Oh my, enemies do meet on narrow roads! You guys snuck an attack on us last time, this time you’re dead!” Jin Xiang immediately unleashed his flaming bird wings while announcing Dorm 333’s doom. Taking a step forward, he immediately took flight.

He was able to see Qian Lei in the midst of a summoning. Although no one knew what he was summoning, it was best to prevent the summon from being successful. Their thoughts were the same as Zhang Ruiyan’s team.

Tang Yuege and Li Pengbin quickly took action as well, unleashing their own Martial Souls. Tang Yuege raised his right hand and a dazzling spectacle of light blossomed, producing a pair of short spears. Without accumulating power, he swung his hand out and flung the short spear straight towards Lan Xuanyu.

The short spear sliced through the air while speeding up and appeared before him in a jiffy.

Although Tang Yuege’s Martial Soul was a pair of short spears, it was actually most proficient in long range attacks. He had activated his first Soul Skill — Cleaving wind! The Soul Skill increased the speed of his short spears and the firepower of the throw exponentially. If the throw had been completed by accumulating more potential energy, the might of the attack would have been even stronger.

Tang Yuege and Jin Xiang had the same intention, to disrupt the summoning.

It was not only Lu Qianxun and his team that realized it was Lan Xuanyu’s presence that had changed Qian Lei’s ability completely, for Jin Xiang and the others had the same discovery as well. Therefore, Jin Xiang’s immediate flight and Tang Yuege’s throw were all part of their plan against Lan Xuanyu’s technique with the Gate of Summoning.

For the sake of fairness, no one was able to witness the battle between Lan Xuanyu and Zhang Ruiyan’s team. But this gave Jin Xiang’s team ample time to formulate and robust their plan.

With a pair of green wings behind his back, Li Pengbin leaped upwards as well as he soared into the sky with Jin Xiang. His Martial Soul: Green Roc.

Compared to Jin Xiang’s Flaming bird, the green roc was more proficient in flight. With Jin Xiang’s single soul ring, he was, in fact, only able to glide, unlike Li Pengbin’s actual flying ability.

The green roc was famed for flying long distances, with an average capability in battle to boot. Among the flight-type Martial Souls, it was ranked one of the best.

Green light flickered as a faint green figure shot out from Li Pengbin’s body; it was shaped like a bird. Upon flying out of Li Pengbin’s body, it felt as though he had actually split bodies.

Green Roc shadow, Li Pengbin’s first Soul Skill.

The green shadow was released a tad bit later but was able to block Liu Feng with the intent of hindering him and allowing Jin Xiang and Tang Yuege to break the connection.

Jin Xiang, Tang Yuege, and Li Pengbin’s all-out assault and tacit coordination was executed to extreme perfection.

Tang Yuege’s short spears arrived before Lan Xuanyu’s face with surprising quickness.

At that moment, Lan Xuanyu’s right hand grabbed onto the Gate of Summoning, leaving only his left hand free. Cross his leg, he tried to avoid the spears. As though the short spears had eyes of their own, they deviated in their direction and continued to move towards him. It appeared as if there was no way out.

At this time, the green roc shadow took action and suppressed Liu Feng, preventing him from retreating to support Lan Xuanyu. Jin Xiang was already close to the Gate of Summoning. No matter how one saw it, the trio from Dorm 333 was completely suppressed.

Lan Xuanyu extended his left hand with lightning speed and grabbed the short spear that was merely an inch away from him, stopping it in place right before his eyes. A faint ice mist curled around the surface of his palm, preventing the short spear from moving any further.

Tang Yuege was inwardly shocked, for he had actually thrown the spear with all of his strength and even unleashed his Soul Skill. Cleaving wind was capable of increasing his throwing force by two-fold, and aside from its ability to lock onto its target, its speed had increased by twice the amount as well.

How was it possible for anyone to grab his short spear with that sort of momentum? Nevertheless, Lan Xuanyu had accomplished the impossible. Could it be that Lan Xuanyu’s Soul Skill had something to do with cutting off his Soul Skill? But upon thinking about it, he knew that it was not that simple. Not only must Lan Xuanyu have extremely strong judgment, but it also required a lot of strength as well!

Right at this time, Tang Yuege suddenly recalled the fact that Lan Xuanyu had additional points in the comprehensive physical test!

Liu Feng’s following action was even more unexpected. Without any intention to stop, he quickly retreated without looking back and actually used his body to collide into Lan Xuanyu.

The short spear in Lan Xuanyu’s hand immediately disappeared and reappeared in Tang Yuege’s hand. Upon colliding with Liu Feng, Lan Xuanyu changed his left hand posture from a grab to a push and placed his palm on Liu Feng’s back.

It was only then that Liu Feng raised the white dragon spear in hand, stabbing right into the green roc shadow, with a faint icy mist around it. That one attack immediately dispelled the green roc shadow. It looked easy and effortless.

Right at that moment, a loud and clear bird chirp came out. A figure darted out of the Gate of Summoning at a speed so fast that no one was able to ascertain what it was. It flew straight into the air towards Jin Xiang, who was about to attack Qian Lei.

Jin Xiang did not expect the summon to be so fast and was caught off guard. Fortunately, he had ample battle experience; he twisted himself in the air and unleashed the Flaming Bird wings. His wings immediately brought forth a heatwave that sliced towards the figure.

“Pu!” Before Jin Xiang could react, he found himself slowing down in midair. He started to fall in the next second. The figure that attacked him stopped for a moment in midair, allowing everyone to clearly see its form.

Small, the first thought everyone had. It was a jade-colored bird with a red beak. It looked to be the size of a man’s palm, but its pair of jade eyes emitted an extremely fierce glare.

“Emerald Demon Bird?” Lan Xuanyu exclaimed under his breath, a look of astonishment flitting across his eyes.

His surprise originated from the fact that this soul beast was completely unlike all their summons in their summoning tests.

They had never summoned the Emerald Demon Bird when they coordinated together.

From their tests, he used the golden-patterned Blue Silver Grass with his right hand to augment the Gate of Summoning into summoning lifeforms that were more or less related to dragons. This gave Lan Xuanyu more knowledge of his own Martial Soul. He had a faint inkling that the golden-patterned Blue Silver Grass was related to dragons, most probably dragon veins.
