Chapter 105 Battlefield Thief
After repelling the first wave of attacks from the Sun Moon Empire, Dai Yueheng and his two companions broke through the smoke.

Dai Yueheng took the lead, using three amplification soul skills simultaneously, and wielding his battle sword to slash at Ma Rulong.

Jiang Nannan and Chen Zifeng also came to Ma Rulong's side.

Although Ma Rulong is a level six Soul Master and a level six Soul Guidance Master, his Martial Soul itself does not have much combat ability, so he can only rely on his Soul Guidance Device.

But his opponents were a Soul Emperor and two Soul Kings, and even he could only use the Invincible Shield.

Jiang Nannan and Chen Zifeng smiled slightly upon seeing this; they had been tricked!

Without the protection of the invincible shield, Dai Yueheng, with his strength, even if he couldn't defeat Ma Rulong quickly, could at least hold his own for a long time.
In this way, Ma Rulong would not be able to free up his hands to take care of his other teammates.

Jiang Nannan and Chen Zifeng turned around at the same time and attacked Chen Fei and Lin Xi respectively. Since the opponent's support was a food-type soul master, there was no need to target them too much.

Food-type Soul Masters are strong in large-scale battles like the military, but in small group battles of seven people, their role is far less effective than that of normal support-type Soul Masters.

Seeing the three men's movements, Ma Rulong immediately understood their tactics and roared, "Fight on your own!"

Subsequently, he used a variety of soul tools that appeared on his body, and for a time he was evenly matched with Dai Yueheng.

Their team only has one support-type Soul Master, making them stronger than Shrek Academy in terms of sheer numbers of combat personnel.

However, combat strength is not just about the number of people.

After Ma Rulong gave the order, everyone in the Sun and Moon team was covered in a layer of metal armor.

At this moment, Mika charged towards Ling Luochen, wielding a greatsword.

At this moment, the vast battlefield has been divided into five smaller battlefields.

The original team battles have been transformed into four 1v1 matches, the only difference being that both sides now have support Soul Masters providing buffs.

However, the Sun and Moon team, possessing unique soul tools, did not fall into a disadvantageous position for the time being.

The spectators in the stands were momentarily at a loss for where to look, overwhelmed by the dazzling array of soul skills on the field.

Most people can't even see the actions of the two sides on the field.

But this did not dampen their enthusiasm.

Currently, only Zhou Xuan remains undefeated on Shrek Academy's side, while Sun Moon Academy's side also has two unmatched opponents: the siblings Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen.

"Meng, you stay here, I'll be right back!" Xiao Hongchen retrieved the cannon beside him and smiled faintly at Meng Hongchen beside him.

Then, a flash of golden light appeared, and another leg emerged from his tailbone, covering his entire body with a dazzling golden hue.

Xiao Hongchen, with three legs, crouched slightly, his three spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and one black—shining brightly.

This is Xiao Hongchen's martial soul, the Three-Legged Golden Toad, whose greatest characteristic is its ability to control metal.

He then swept his hands through the air in a blur, scattering hundreds of metal spheres.

These metal spheres, under his control, transformed into cannon barrels.

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Hongchen transformed into a metal hedgehog covered in metal cannon barrels.

Zhou Xuan watched Xiao Hongchen's actions, his lips pressed tightly together, forcibly suppressing his laughter.

Xiao Hongchen's current appearance is so ridiculous that he finds it hard to associate him with the elegant young man he used to be.

Xiao Hongchen's mental strength was already very sharp, and now that he was about to make a move against Zhou Xuan, he saw the expression on the other party's face.

After glaring at Zhou Xuan, he thought viciously, "Laugh? You'll be laughing soon enough!"

Zhou Xuan found his expression even funnier.

But as funny as it may be, he will not underestimate his opponent.

An even more powerful spiritual force had already enveloped Xiao Hongchen, and his third soul ring lit up.

The smile on Zhou Xuan's face vanished instantly, and his eyes became deep and thoughtful.

Then, his first and second soul rings lit up, and his figure mysteriously disappeared from Xiao Hongchen's sight.

This directly caused Xiao Hongchen, who was originally poised to make his move, to freeze in place.

All the soul-guided cannons were ready, but the target was nowhere to be seen, a feeling that made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

The next second, a faint light shone from the buttons on his collar.

"A mental-type Soul Master?" Xiao Hongchen's pupils shrank slightly. This was a level six mental defense Soul Tool, which he always wore on his person. He never expected it to be triggered now.

Soon, cracks appeared on the button, and a soul-guided ray shot out towards Xiao Hongchen's left side.

In addition to defending against mental attacks, this soul tool can also help locate enemies.

At this moment, Xiao Hongchen's previous contempt for Zhou Xuan vanished. The fact that Zhou Xuan could shatter a level-six mental defense soul tool meant that his mental power had reached the Soul Emperor level.

Although I'm reluctant to believe it, the facts are right in front of me.

Xiao Hongchen circulated his soul power. Although the opponent's spiritual power had reached the Soul Emperor level, he did not believe that his physical fitness could withstand the 128 soul-guided cannons on his body!

At the same time, the fourth spirit ring lit up—Sacrifice of Gold—burning the spirit power within his body, further enhancing the power of the spirit cannon.

"I refuse to believe that you can use a shield-type soul skill like that again!"

Seeing that his attack had failed, Zhou Xuan sighed inwardly, "No wonder he's the dean's grandson; he has so many soul tools on him!"

However, he remained calm. The reason he had just released his mental energy to envelop Xiao Hongchen was not simply to launch a mental attack on him, but more to analyze the soul tool on his body.

However, the battle between the two sides was too short, and it was difficult to understand the situation based on just one exchange.

With the support of his third soul skill, Zhou Xuan's thinking speed increased significantly, and he came up with a solution almost instantly.

A strange smile appeared on his indifferent face, which made Xiao Hongchen shiver involuntarily.

A Qimen formation appeared beneath Zhou Xuan's feet. Although he had already established the central palace within his body, the Qimen external projection technique he had previously used was still usable, though he used it less frequently.

In an instant, the Qimen Formation covered the entire area. Although it appeared that everyone was inside the formation, under his deliberate control, only Xiao Hongchen was truly affected.

"I wonder if you've ever experienced the feeling of using your own soul-guided cannon?"

Palace moving and transporting!

In an instant, countless black holes appeared around Zhou Xuan, and the soul-guided cannons that were fired at him were swallowed up by the black holes the moment they arrived.

This scene made Xiao Hongchen's eyes widen in surprise.

"Seriously, buddy? Even Shrek Academy shouldn't be this strong, right?"

However, he soon realized that Zhou Xuan was not only strong, but also very cunning.

The same black hole appeared above Xiao Hongchen's head.

He looked up sharply and saw beams of light beginning to emerge from the pitch-black hole, gradually drawing closer.

He recognized the points of light at a glance—the very soul-guided cannon he had just fired. This made him curse, "Damn it!"

His hands moved swiftly, removing the cannon barrel from his body. His fifth spirit ring lit up and turned into a pool of liquid. Although his spirit cannon was powerful, it was still considered a physical attack.

His fifth soul skill, Golden Favor, can liquefy his body into a metallic liquid, which can negate more than 80% of physical attacks.

At such close range, unless it's a triggered soul-guided shield, there's simply no time to react.

So he had no choice but to tough it out.

The next moment, the soul-guided cannon he fired himself struck his own liquefied body.

The terrifying explosion sent his liquid splattering everywhere.

Xiao Hongchen never dreamed that one day he would be severely injured by his own soul tool.

He now deeply regrets that he had used his soul skill to enhance the power of the soul-guided cannon; he has truly brought this upon himself.

The 128 soul-guided cannons that he had removed had somehow appeared before Zhou Xuan's eyes.

He carefully examined the array patterns on the soul-guided cannon and nodded in agreement.

"Indeed exquisite." Many of the soul-guiding formations were ones he had never seen before, but it would be almost impossible to analyze them on the spot.

Just like languages, you need a dictionary to learn each language, and the same goes for learning soul-guiding formations.

Although the patterns that make up soul-guiding arrays are all similar, their uses are incredibly diverse. Therefore, the Sun Moon Empire must have its own exclusive "array pattern dictionary".
However, it's impossible to give this kind of thing to Zhou Xuan, so if he wants to learn how to use their soul tools, he can only experiment slowly.

Before the splattered molten metal could even settle on the ground, Xu Tianqiong grabbed it from the sidelines, making it the first contestant eliminated in this match.

Xu Tianqiong waved his hand, and Xiao Hongchen's body slowly floated to Jing Hongchen's side after reforming.

Fat fingers gripped Xiao Hongchen's arm.

"Grandpa, I'm fine," the latter said with a weak smile.

Jing Hongchen snorted coldly, annoyed: "You think you're alright? I told you long ago, a Soul Master's fighting style must be based on careful planning."

Especially for a Soul Master like yourself who is skilled in remote Soul Tools, you must always ensure your safety.

After sensing Xiao Hongchen's physical condition, Jing Hongchen breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, thanks to the 80% damage reduction from the Golden Blessing, although the injury looked severe, it was actually just a minor one.

After a night's rest, they can even participate in the individual competition later, thanks in part to Xu Tianqiong's timely rescue.

Seeing this, Meng Hongchen wanted to make a move, but before she could, sand and stones surged around her.

A cold voice rang in his ear: "You should go and join your brother too."

Meng Hongchen's martial spirit was very strong and difficult to deal with, so Zhou Xuan's choice was to take advantage of the situation and send her off the stage before she could make a move.
After all, this is a competition. Once you leave the competition venue, you've already lost. There's no need to fight to the death.

Zhou Xuan withdrew the Qimen Formation he had released, put one hand behind his back, and stretched out his right hand, clenching it tightly.

Countless grains of sand gathered together, imprisoning Meng Hongchen within them and transforming him into a giant sphere.

Then, with a flick of his right arm, he threw it off the court.

If they had used the Spirit Fusion Agent from the beginning, he might not have been able to defeat them.

In the Shrek Academy lounge, Elder Xuan and Wang Yan were also taken aback by what they saw. They had witnessed Zhou Xuan's methods in dealing with Xiao Hongchen before, so they were not surprised.

However, Zhou Xuan had never shown this move before.

Wang Yan glanced at Elder Xuan beside him, shook his head and chuckled, "Elder Xuan, just how much more is this kid hiding?"

"How would I know?" Elder Xuan shook his head, he was puzzled as well.

In fact, Zhou Xuan's inspiration for this move came from a dojutsu in Naruto—Chibaku Tensei, but the real Chibaku Tensei also has sealing power.

His weapon was merely a facade, but it was still sufficient to deal with Meng Hongchen.

Just as the clay ball landed outside the field, it exploded.

Meng Hongchen's originally wine-red hair turned snow-white, and her originally ice-blue eyes turned blood-red in an instant.

Five spirit rings around his body fluctuated up and down.

A pair of clear, beautiful eyes swept around, and when he saw Zhou Xuan, his fifth soul ring lit up.

"Meng Hongchen, you have been eliminated. Do not interfere with the competition, or don't blame me for showing no mercy!" Xu Tianqiong's indifferent voice came from mid-air.

Without making any move, he simply exerted a powerful pressure, forcefully suppressing Meng Hongchen, who was possessed by a martial spirit, back down.

Her hair returned to its original burgundy color.

"When was I eliminated?!" Because she had just broken free, she was still confused about the situation and retorted without thinking when she heard someone say that she had been eliminated.

Who is Xu Tianqiong? Would he explain to her? He simply waved his hand and sent her back to the Sun Moon Team's rest room. If Jing Hongchen hadn't been there, he would have definitely taught this little girl a lesson.

Meng Hongchen wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Jing Hongchen.

"Xiao Meng, you have indeed been eliminated." Hearing her grandfather's voice, Meng Hongchen was stunned. Her angry face showed a hint of doubt, and she tilted her head.

"Ok?"

With her big eyes, she even has a somewhat cute look.

Jing Hongchen smiled and told her what had just happened.

Sure enough, after saying that, Meng Hongchen snorted and said, "Hmph! I didn't even make a move, yet I was eliminated in this way!"

"I'm going to teach him a lesson in the individual competition later!"

Jing Hongchen smiled; he didn't want to undermine his granddaughter's confidence.

Although Meng Hongchen's martial soul talent was indeed powerful, Zhou Xuan was clearly even more terrifying.
In his opinion, among the seven members of Shrek Academy, perhaps only Dai Yueheng, who had reached the sixth ring, had the strength to fight him.

On the field, without the restraint of Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen, Zhou Xuan transformed into a battlefield thief.

He roamed among the various small battlefields, occasionally stealing equipment from the members of the Sun and Moon team.

However, this scene could not escape the notice of the titled Douluo present. Even Xu Tianqiong, who was acting as the referee, couldn't help but twitch his lips when he saw it.

After all, the rules of the game don't prohibit picking up your opponent's equipment, right?

The soul tools worn by every member of the Sun Moon Empire's team are specially customized, and their quality is absolutely top-notch.

Moreover, since they are all for personal use, they are rarely encrypted, since encryption also consumes soul power.

However, no one expected that there would be a battlefield thief like Zhou Xuan during the competition.

However, Zhou Xuan didn't feel embarrassed at all. After all, it was all for research, so there was no shame in it.
