Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect.

Chapter 337 Xu Sanshi's Decision
Xu Sanshi gritted his teeth, his expression growing increasingly grim. He felt that Xiao Hongchen's firepower seemed a bit too strong. If this continued, he might not be able to withstand it, and his Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield might even be shattered.

"If only my Xuanwu bloodline could be fully awakened, then my Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield could be transformed into the Xuanwu Tortoise Shell Shield, greatly enhancing its defensive capabilities. Even Xiao Hongchen's Soul Guidance Cannon would be unable to crack it in the slightest."

Thinking of this, Xu Sanshi had no choice but to grit his teeth and charge forward, continuing to close the distance with Xiao Hongchen. At the same time, he activated his defensive soul guide shield, a pale golden shield that could help him withstand some of the artillery fire.

Shrek Academy may not be as advanced as Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy in the field of soul tools, but in Xu Sanshi's opinion, it is sufficient for the competition.

After all, with Xiao Hongchen's Soul Emperor cultivation level, he is at most a Level 6 Soul Master, which means that in most cases, the opponent can only use Level 6 Soul Tools.

Even if it's the enemy's soul-guided cannon, it's estimated to be at most level six.

He was confident he could stop it from being a mere level six soul tool.

Xiao Hongchen stared at Xu Sanshi, his sixth soul ring pulsating, the black light suddenly becoming even brighter than before, and a blood-red blaze appeared in his eyes.

As someone who has undergone a second awakening of their martial soul, their soul skills have been strengthened compared to before. After all, a second awakening of the martial soul means that the bloodline within their martial soul has been activated.

His martial soul is the Three-Legged Golden Toad. According to the legends in Douluo Continent, the Three-Legged Golden Toad is a divine beast. Therefore, in a sense, Xiao Hongchen's martial soul does indeed have the bloodline of a divine beast.

"Sixth Soul Skill! Metal Control!"

He reached out and gripped Xu Sanshi's hand. A cracking sound came from Xu Sanshi's body, and then his soul-guiding shield shattered. The rare metal that forged the soul-guiding shield melted into liquid and then solidified into several swords made of rare metal. They reflected a sharp, cold light in the sunlight and attacked Xu Sanshi.

The piercing sound of something cutting through the air, like a death knell, echoed in Xu Sanshi's ears.

Xu Sanshi was shocked. He hadn't expected that his opponent could shatter his level six defensive soul guide shield with just a soul skill, and that the opponent could also control the metal used to forge the soul guide. This had never happened before in any previous competition.

If Xiao Hongchen can dismantle the enemy's soul tool, then is there any need for other people's soul tools to exist?

On the high platform.

Xu Tianran involuntarily gripped the armrest of the chair, his face showing amazement: "Master Jing, you have a good grandson! Xiao Hongchen can actually use soul skills to destroy the opponent's soul tool and control the rare metals that forged the soul tool. Wouldn't he be invincible against the other soul masters?"

Furthermore, I've noticed that his martial spirit seems somewhat different from before. Hall Master Mirror, could you please explain this?

Jing Hongchen immediately forced a smile and explained, "Your Highness, Hongchen is quite lucky. His martial soul bloodline has evolved, so his martial soul has evolved. Under these circumstances, the effect of his soul skills has naturally been enhanced."

Hearing this, Xu Tianran did not press further. After all, luck is a very elusive thing. Even in the history of the Sun Moon Empire, there were some people who, because of good luck, obtained some opportunities that greatly improved their strength.

Xu Sanshi's gaze turned serious. The threat of the metal sword and the soul-guided cannonball was imminent, and he had to come up with countermeasures to withstand the attack.

The second soul skill, Xuanming Shield Formation!
The Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield in his hand instantly tripled in size. Of course, the increase was only superficial; in reality, the number of Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shields suddenly increased, forming a gigantic shield, like a shield array. Bang bang bang!
The soul-guided cannonball exploded, producing blinding flames and a powerful shockwave, but he managed to block it with his Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield. The metal swords were different; they would normally have struck the enlarged Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield, but now, under Xiao Hongchen's mental command, they bypassed the shield and attacked Xu Sanshi's vulnerable back.

If hit, Xu Sanshi will inevitably be injured.

"Not good." Xu Sanshi gritted his teeth, his first soul ring rippled, and a yellow light appeared. He was about to use his first soul skill, Xuanming Zhen. Soon, a large amount of black light spread out in all directions from the Xuanming Turtle Shell Shield, covering a range of ten meters.

The metal swords were instantly repelled by the black aura and could not get close, giving Xu Sanshi a chance to catch his breath. But then came the barrage of soul-guided cannonballs.

Smoke and dust filled the air, with faint flickering flames.

Xiao Hongchen looked quite relaxed at the moment. Before the sealed milk bottle he was carrying ran out, he would not have any trouble with the consumption of soul power, so he did not need to consider the consumption of soul power when using soul-guided cannons.

As for the consumption of soul-guided cannonballs, he had a bunch of storage soul-guided devices with him, which were filled with soul-guided cannonballs and various rare metals.

He could bombard Xu Sanshi all day long if he wanted to; this was a benefit of the development of soul-guided technology, allowing him to indiscriminately bombard the ground.

After a while, Xu Sanshi spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turned pale, and his breathing became rapid.

He was starting to feel the strain; he knew that if things continued like this, he would definitely be crushed by the soul-guided cannonballs.

After all, his soul power is limited. As for the milk bottle, Shrek Academy did manage to buy it, and it could be used to replenish his soul power. However, the problem is that the Sun Moon Empire also imposes export controls on milk bottles.

Only a very small number of low-grade baby bottles will make it to the auction.

Even with Xu Sanshi's status, he currently only has one level-four baby bottle, which Dean Yan Shaozhe obtained from that stingy Dean Qian Duoduo. Of course, the reason why Qian Duoduo is stingy in this regard is mainly because he wants to independently develop baby bottles.

“I told Nan Nan that I would win, so I absolutely cannot lose. After all, if I lose, Nan Nan might think I'm just a man who talks big.”

He gritted his teeth, thinking that he had no choice but to use his trump card, Xuanming, to replace it. Otherwise, he might not even be able to get through this hurdle, let alone defeat Huo Yuhao.

Thinking of this, he gave up carrying the cannon and instead ran towards the edge of the arena. Perhaps because the battles these days had been too intense, the Sun Moon Empire had specially reinforced the arena to ensure that the contestants' battles could only damage the arena, but not destroy it.

Therefore, the competition table as a whole did not suffer any major damage.

Soon, Xu Sanshi reached the edge of the competition platform, and then he leaped off as if he were about to jump off the platform.
