Douluo Jueshi: Picking up Firefly at the Beginning

Chapter 131 Semifinals

In the third match, the Douling team's captain Gu Zhujian appeared.

As long as Meteor wins this game, the individual elimination round will be over.

Facing the Lone Bamboo Sword, Liuxing took out the Flame Gun. It was obvious that he was going to fight the enemy with spear skills in this battle.

The first soul ring on Guzhu Sword shone, and the purple bamboo martial soul in his hand turned into a bamboo sword. At the same time, his body rushed towards the meteor like a sword, and the bamboo sword in his hand slashed, turning into a huge sword light to slash towards the meteor.

The first soul skill, Lone Bamboo Sword Slash.

Meteor turned the flaming gun in his hand and fired a shot. The red gun light turned into a huge flaming gun, breaking through the air and colliding with the huge sword light in the air.

The second soul skill is the Solitary Bamboo Throw.

The Lone Bamboo Sword took light steps and leaped into the air. Huge purple bamboos gathered in the air and fell from the sky with sharp edges.

Meteor gripped the gun handle tightly, tensed his arm muscles, gathered strength at the tip of the gun, and swung it violently in a semicircle.

A crescent-shaped flaming slash tore through the air, sweeping away the falling purple bamboo.

Seeing his soul skills being broken one by one, a bitter look appeared on Gu Zhu Jian's lips. Although he was mentally prepared, he still couldn't suppress the bitterness in his heart.

Then, his face showed a resolute expression, his right hand pointed like a sword, and he said in a low voice: "Fourth soul skill, Illusion Purple Bamboo Formation."

Liu Xing saw that the competition field suddenly twisted and turned into a purple bamboo forest. The figures of the Solitary Bamboo Sword and the referee disappeared, and even the cheers of the audience outside the field could no longer be heard.

"Illusion? Spiritual soul skill?"

There was a look of surprise in Liuxing's eyes. He didn't expect that the attack-type Guzhu Sword actually had this kind of control-type soul skill.

However, using spiritual soul skills on him would be the wrong person.

Meteor's eyes instantly turned golden, and golden flames danced in his eyes.

The next moment, the purple bamboo forest disappeared instantly, and the voices of the audience outside the venue rang in the ears again.

"puff!"

His soul skill was broken, and mental backlash came. Gu Zhujian spat out a mouthful of blood, with an expression of disbelief on his face. His fourth soul skill was broken in less than three seconds?
This was a notoriously difficult spiritual skill! As his trump card, even more useful than his fifth spiritual skill, how could it be broken so quickly?

Seeing Gu Zhujian strike a pose to release his fourth soul skill, but then spit out blood, the audience was confused. What happened? Did they miss something?

Only a few people could understand what had just happened.

"That's a spiritual skill, but why did it fail?"

Huo Yuhao's face was filled with confusion. As a pure spiritual master, he had sensed the spiritual fluctuations from the spiritual skill just released by the Lone Bamboo Sword, so he was very sure it was a spiritual skill. But why did it fail to use it? And even suffered backlash?

"Yuhao, there's something wrong with that young man. I sense a terrifying aura from him."

The solemn voice of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm sounded in Huo Yuhao's mind.

"That power targets the consciousness, soul, and spirit. Xiao Yuhao, when facing him, never use spiritual soul skills."

The old voice echoed in Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea.

"Oh my god, restraining the power of the spirit and soul, isn't this what Tian Ke Yu Hao is?"

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm exclaimed.

Huo Yuhao nodded with a heavy expression. If he couldn’t use spiritual soul skills, wouldn’t he be half useless?

On the ring, the huge bamboo sword was shattered by the red flame spear. The figure of the lone bamboo sword was thrown into the air and slammed heavily on the ring, causing a burst of flying gravel.

The referee came up to Gu Zhu Jian and looked at the unconscious Gu Zhu Jian. He raised his right hand and announced, "Individual elimination match third match, Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy wins. Sixteen to eight elimination match, Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy wins."

Winning battle after battle, Meteor swept the three Soul Kings with his Soul Sect cultivation, causing cheers from the young ladies in the audience, and even gained a group of little fans in front of the screen.

With a handsome face, a calm smile and an upright posture, Liu Xing at this moment is the most handsome guy in the audience.

After this battle, the reputation of Meteor and Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy soared, and the voices for winning the championship grew louder and louder.

On this continent, there are many people who like Shrek Academy, but there are also many who don't like Shrek, or who want to see Shrek fall from the altar. It is human nature to watch fun, and what fun could be more interesting than the continent's number one academy falling from the altar?

The audience was all fickle, easily disliking the old and liking the new. They'd support whoever was stronger. Huo Yuhao? So what if he had twin spirits? His six-ring cultivation was fake, and his strength wasn't enough. They'd long forgotten him.

The match of sixteen to eight was over, and next was the match of eight to four. The opponents in this match were a little weaker than the Douling Royal Academy. Liuxing was no longer interested, so he let Ma Rulong and others go on stage to end the match.

The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition was nearing its end, and the end meant the most intense competition was about to begin. On the 27th day after the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Competition began, Elder Ma had successfully escorted the 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast back to Mingde Hall and returned safely.

"The top four have been decided. The semi-finals will begin tomorrow. After the semi-finals, there will be a three-day break before the finals."

In the meeting room of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, Old Ma said in a deep voice.

"Mr. Ma, who is our opponent in the semi-finals?"

Meng Hongchen asked curiously.

"I don't know. To ensure fairness, the semi-final opponents will be decided by drawing lots on site before the semi-finals. So you should be prepared, because you might face Shrek Academy directly in the semi-finals."

"The four teams currently in the top four are our Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, Shrek Academy, Xingluo Royal Academy, and Di'ao Academy."

"You could say they are all old rivals, each of them is very powerful, especially the Shrek Academy. Even if they are a weakened force, you still have to be careful when dealing with them."

"Even if we don't meet Shrek Academy in the semifinals, our opponent in the finals will most likely be Shrek Academy. Given the strength of Xingluo Royal Academy and Di'ao Academy, it will be quite difficult for them to defeat Shrek Academy."

"Among all the teams participating this time, only we, Shrek Academy, and Di Ao Academy have Soul Emperors. Shrek has two Soul Emperors, and Di Ao Academy also has one."

Although what Mr. Ma said was very serious, Liuxing and others were actually not under much pressure. Neither the Diao Academy nor the Xingluo Royal Academy posed a big threat. Even for Shrek Academy, except for the three regulars, the strength of the others was too low.

Although each of those people had their own trump cards and could unleash power far beyond their own level, their soul power cultivation limited their upper limit, and at best they could only defeat a Soul King.

But in front of Meteor, Firefly, Gu Yuena and Snow Girl, the Soul King is useless!
Compared to the relaxed atmosphere in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy conference room, the atmosphere in the Shrek Academy conference room was much more solemn.

Compared to the confidence of Meteor and the others, Shrek Academy’s confidence is not very strong.

Wang Yan said calmly, "From the first day we arrived in Xingluo City, I never thought we could win the championship this time, because we simply don't have the strength to be champions. I am already very satisfied to have made it this far. Your efforts are obvious to all. You have maintained the glory of Shrek. So, I hope you don't feel any pressure in the upcoming competitions. No matter the final outcome, I will commend you when I return to Shrek Academy."

The reserve team had no problem hearing these words. After all, they had worked hard enough and fought hard enough.

But for the three regular players present, it was a bit jarring.

Compared with the seven players in the reserve team, they are the main force of this game, but they have been hiding in the hotel to recuperate before. It is the seven players in the reserve team who are fighting hard. Compared with the reserve team, they are indeed much more relaxed.

Wang Yan's words were like steel needles that pierced their hearts, but they couldn't say anything.

Because it's true.

Thinking of this, flames burned in the eyes of the three people.

As the match that will decide the final outcome draws closer, everyone becomes nervous. The upcoming match will determine many things, both for the academy and for the contestants.

You should know that any team that can get the top few places in the competition, no matter which force they join, will receive extremely high treatment. If they enter the empire to serve, they will even be awarded a noble title.

It can be said that the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition has long become a major competition for countries across the continent to select and compete for elite talents.

Outstanding talents who emerge in this competition will receive olive branches from major forces, which is very important for many contestants.

If Liuxing and the others were not students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, a large number of people would have come to win them over long ago.

The next morning, the morning light was dim and the sun slowly rose from the horizon. The rosy glow filled the earth and the cool breeze brought the fragrance of the leaves.

Up to now in the competition, even the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy has gained a group of fans, and the appearance of Meteor and others has also caused cheers in Xingluo Square.

Of course, this cheer was quickly drowned out by louder cheers after the group of people in green uniforms appeared.

Although there were problems with this Shrek Academy, its popularity remained high.

From the initial competition with more than a hundred teams to the current final four, the competition has been going on for almost a month. For the remaining four teams, each team only has two major battles left at most. The time for the decisive battle has come, and the time to go all out has also come.

The rest area has been renovated, and there are only four areas left, and each team is far apart from each other.

There was nearly half an hour before the start of the game, and everyone from the four teams had already arrived.

Occasionally, sparks would burst out between the four teams when their eyes collided. While the fighting spirit was high, the atmosphere in the rest area also became solemn, tense, and even a bit chilling.

The sky is getting brighter, and the weather today is still good. The sun shines on the broad Xingluo Square, casting a light golden color over the entire square.

On the first day of the semi-finals, a team battle will be held.

A ten-meter-wide red carpet was laid from the direction of the imperial city gate to the front of the competition stage. Ten minutes before the draw began, the imperial city gate opened wide.

Xingluo Emperor Xu Jiawei walked down from the top of the imperial city wall, strode out surrounded by palace guards, and headed straight for the competition stage.
