Douluo: Wuhun Qimen Formation, control everything!

Chapter 127 A Battle Without Martial Morality

The next morning, after delivering dinner to Zhou Xuan, Jiang Nannan did not return to Seagod Island to cultivate as usual, but instead went to the Soul Battle Zone in the outer courtyard.

Meng Hongchen and his sister were already waiting here.

Previously, the Soul Battle Zone was not open in the morning, but this rule was changed after the Soul Master Tournament.

The series of unexpected events led Shrek Academy's leadership to believe that it was necessary to strengthen the students' combat skills, so the Soul Fighting Zone was opened all day.

Although many students had classes in the morning, there were still quite a few people in the Soul Fighting Zone.

“They’ve finally arrived,” Meng Hongchen said, stepping forward.

"Stop talking nonsense and get started." With that, she walked towards the payment counter.

After the two paid the fee and registered, the person in charge asked again, "Are you sure you want to participate in the Soul Battle?"

"Confirmed!" ×2.

"I'll pay, since we were the ones who proposed this Soul Battle." Xiao Hongchen smiled and handed over a few gold soul coins.

Jiang Nannan simply nodded coldly and walked into the Soul Fighting Zone first.

"Alright, you have one more match ahead of you. You can prepare to enter now," the person in charge said, taking the money.

After the two left, the man handed the registration form to a staff member standing nearby: "Let me spread the word, these two are quite important people."

"Yes!"

Soon, announcements were broadcast at the entrances of all dormitories and teaching buildings.

"Jiang Nannan, an inner court disciple, and Meng Hongchen, a student from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, are about to engage in a soul battle."

For students with high profiles who come to the Soul Fighting Zone to compete, there is usually some publicity.

However, Zhou Xuan is currently in the laboratory, so even if the broadcast is broadcast, it won't reach him.

The Shrek students' first reaction upon hearing the broadcast was—Go!

Must go.

Let's not worry about who hit whom for now.

The sightseeing segment, Shrek vs. the Sun and Moon, is already quite entertaining.

Almost two hours after the broadcast, the Fighting Spirits area was packed with people, and there were no seats left.

"Holy crap! It's Jiang Nannan!" Although the names of both parties had been announced over the loudspeaker, the outer court disciples were still very surprised when they actually saw Jiang Nannan.

"What's wrong? Is this senior student famous?" Several freshmen who had only been enrolled for a short time were still a little confused.

"Let me put it this way, in our year, Jiang Nannan is absolutely number one! And she even participated in the Soul Master Competition recently, and it's said that she contributed a lot in the finals. Her cultivation level has already reached the level of a five-ring Soul King. Isn't that amazing?"

"Five Rings!" The man's eyes widened instantly. He originally thought that he was already very impressive to enter the academy with a cultivation level of two rings, but he did not expect that Shrek Academy's geniuses would be so abnormal. Even if he thought that his talent was not bad, it was almost impossible to cultivate to the fifth ring in a few years.

"Then her opponent is bound to lose? He looks about the same age as Senior Jiang Nannan."

The senior student standing next to him calmly shook his head: "You're wrong about that."

Do you know who the other person is?

"I know, didn't they just announce it on the broadcast? The student from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, I think his name is Meng Hongchen."

"Don't let her young age fool you, she's a true Soul King. Moreover, the Sun Moon Empire is most skilled in Soul Tools. With the combination of the two, her strength is probably no weaker than that of an ordinary Soul King."

"That's too powerful!" The boy's naive worldview was greatly shaken.

It's like being a top student in your class from elementary school to high school, only to find that the heights you've worked so hard to reach are just the threshold to seeing even more powerful geniuses.

Seeing his junior's expression, the senior student next to him couldn't help but smile: "You don't need to make that face. Such a genius is a once-in-a-century existence, even in Shrek Academy."

"So, Senior Jiang Nannan is one of the strongest among the new generation, right?"

The senior student next to him shook his head again: "No, that's not it."

"No!?" The new student's voice rose several decibels: "Isn't this strong enough?"

"He is indeed strong, but he's still a bit weaker than another one named Zhou Xuan. Speaking of him, he's practically a legend in our outer academy. Although he hasn't made a move often, every time he does, it's astonishing."

His first appearance was also in the Soul Arena, where he fought against a three-ring Soul Master with only one ring, leaving the senior students speechless with astonishment. After that, he made rapid progress, and just recently in the Soul Master Competition, he even fought a six-soul emperor with only three rings of cultivation and remained undefeated.

He said this with a sigh: "I only heard about this recently, but it's hard to see him in the outer academy now. I guess he's studying with a teacher in the inner academy."

"Huh? One ring hits three rings, three rings hits six rings? Senior, you're not kidding me, are you?"

"Are you kidding me? Just ask around; every upperclassman from the foreign language department knows about this."

The junior student was speechless: "Is this Shrek Academy? It's terrifying!"

Several senior members of the Sea God Pavilion were even spotted in the stands.

"Xuanzi, what a pleasant atmosphere!" Old Song said with a smile, looking at Old Song beside him.

"I didn't want to come, but my apprentice insisted on coming," Elder Xuan said, pointing with the chicken leg in his hand to a green-haired girl with pigtails in a corner of the stands.

"Haha, it seems that taking on an apprentice has changed your mindset quite a bit."

Elder Xuan shook his head: "Don't talk about me. What do you think? Do you think your disciple can win?"

"Of course! Nan Nan's talent is even better than mine was back then. She's just a little girl from the Sun Moon Empire. Even if someone's cultivation level is the same as Nan Nan's, they're definitely no match for her."

"So confident? Aren't you afraid of losing?" another elder said with a chuckle.

Old Song rolled his eyes: "Are you even still Shrek Academy members? Why do you always hope your students lose?"

"Alright, alright! I won't say anything more, let's watch the game."

Fighting Spirit Zone, Rest Area.

Xiao Hongchen looked at Meng Hongchen beside him and kept saying, "The opponent is not weak. Don't underestimate him. These soul tools are for you. They are all soul tools that restrict agility-type soul masters."

"Okay, okay, I know. Your sister isn't a weakling, alright?"

However, Xiao Hongchen kept giving him some instructions.

"Let's go!" Meng Hongchen couldn't stand his nagging any longer and went straight to the battle platform.

Meanwhile, Jiang Nannan was already waiting for her on the field.

The referee walked to the center of the field and said in a deep voice, "Are you all ready?"

Seeing both sides nod, the referee gave the order.

"The match begins!" He then retreated to the edge of the arena.

A cold glint flashed in Jiang Nannan's eyes, and the Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul instantly possessed her. A faint pink halo enveloped her entire body, and five soul rings slowly rose behind her—yellow, yellow, purple, black, and black—revealing themselves completely.

At the same time, Meng Hongchen's wine-red hair had turned snow-white, and her blood-red eyes revealed a cold chill.

After Zhu Qingbing's Ice Toad Martial Soul was attached to her, she exuded a chilling aura, and five perfectly matched Soul Rings appeared—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, and black.

However, it was still inferior to Jiang Nannan's black fourth spirit ring. Although both of them participated in the Spirit Master Competition, they had never fought before, and this was their first time facing off.

The battle was about to begin. Jiang Nannan launched the first attack, her body transforming into a streak of red light, leaving several afterimages on the field, as she charged straight towards Meng Hongchen.

Meng Hongchen remained unfazed, lightly raising his right hand, and a level-six soul tool gleaming with cold light appeared in his palm: "Frost Ray!"

This soul tool will not cause any damage to others when it hits them; its only effect is to reduce the speed of the opponent.

Jiang Nannan's eyes flashed, and her third soul skill lit up—Teleportation!
Meng Hongchen's lips curled into a smile. This level-six soul tool is more than just that!
The icy blue light paused briefly in mid-air before shooting directly towards Jiang Nannan.

Everyone on the stage stared wide-eyed; even some students from the Soul Guidance Department couldn't believe their eyes.

"What is this thing? It can even turn corners?!"

Jiang Nannan thought she had dodged Meng Hongchen's attack and continued to rush towards her.

Meng Hongchen's feet were covered with a layer of metal, instantly turning into a pair of metal shoes.

Two beams of blue light shot out from beneath her feet, causing her to retreat violently.

His speed was not much slower than Jiang Nannan's.

The icy blue light coming from behind was about to hit Jiang Nannan.

By this time, she had already realized that something was wrong, but realizing it was one thing and her body reacting to it was another.

Although her reaction speed was already very fast, it still took some time, and it was this little bit of time that prevented her from dodging the blue light.

It brushed past her left arm.

A bone-chilling coldness came from his left arm, and the speed slowed down visibly, instantly widening the distance between the two.

Meng Hongchen steadied himself in mid-air: "Second Soul Skill, Ice Poison Ring! Fourth Soul Skill, Ice Feeding! First Soul Skill, Ice Toad Poison!"

A ring of icy blue poison rapidly spread from her center, causing the temperature within a 20-meter radius to plummet.

At the same time, a blue and red ice mist filled the field.

Jiang Nannan subconsciously held her breath and covered her entire body with her soul power.

Meng Hongchen shook his head. It was useless. If it were that easy to deal with, it wouldn't be called the strongest poison in the far north.

Jiang Nannan also sensed the abnormality in her body and thought to herself, "This is bad!"

She has no choice but to act quickly; the longer it drags on, the lower her chances of winning become.

She went all out.

He used his third soul skill again, and at the same time activated his fourth soul skill.

He transformed into a streak of blue lightning, instantly increasing his speed to its maximum, temporarily shaking off the chill and poison effects, and charged towards Meng Hongchen once more.

Meng Hongchen was prepared, and a peculiar soul tool suddenly appeared in his hand: "Ice Silkworm Net!" The soul tool shot out several beams of silver light, which quickly wove into a fine net in the air and covered Jiang Nannan's head.

She originally thought that with Jiang Nannan's speed, it was impossible for her to change direction in mid-air, and that she would definitely crash into the net.

Once that happens, she'll be like a fish on a chopping board, and with her ice and fire poison, she's absolutely guaranteed to win.

However, under the fourth soul skill, Jiang Nannan's physical reaction ability has reached an almost abnormal level.

In the air, Jiang Nannan, transformed into a streak of light, traced a Z-shape in mid-air, dodging the soul tool.

Almost in the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of Meng Hongchen.

This process happened so fast! So fast that almost no one had time to react.

The only people who could clearly see Jiang Nannan's movements were probably the few elderly people on the high platform.

"This child has truly inherited your skills!" Everyone looked at Old Song, their voices filled with surprise.

"Haha! It's because Nan Nan is so talented!" As a master, the best praise you can hear is from others saying that your apprentice is excellent.

"It seems this match is almost over."

Jiang Nannan's close combat ability is obvious to all. When a Soul Master of the same level gets close to her, there is usually only one outcome: defeat!

However, Meng Hongchen was prepared. Just as Jiang Nannan struck out with her palm, her clothes suddenly turned into pieces of metal.

It moved in the opposite direction, covering Jiang Nannan.

"Watch out!" a student in the stands exclaimed.

This sudden change was unexpected not only by Jiang Nannan, but also by the senior members on the stage.

However, Jiang Nannan's almost abnormal reaction ability still prompted her to take action on the spot.

However, the distance was too close, and these metal pieces clung to her body like maggots.

In an instant, Jiang Nannan felt as if she had been frozen in place.

Although the time was short, it was enough for Meng Hongchen to launch an attack.

This is a top-tier level 6 soul tool, specifically designed to counter agility-based soul masters.

Its function is to control Soul Masters below the sixth ring for a period of time.

The time required depends on the opponent's strength; the stronger the opponent, the shorter the time required.

For Jiang Nannan, this soul tool could control her for at least a second.

This is already a very long time for a Soul Master with an agility-based attack style.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, a huge phantom of an ice toad appeared behind Meng Hongchen.

"Fifth Soul Skill! Ice and Fire Poison Dragon Drill!"

A red and blue energy vortex condensed between her hands, and with the amplification of the Ice Feedback, the power of this attack had reached the limit of the Soul King realm.

Old Song, who was in the stands, was the first to notice something was wrong.

From the moment Fang Binghuo Poison Dragon Drill was used, she knew that Jiang Nannan had already lost.

After all, the soul tool she possessed was far too overpowered; normally, a level six soul tool wouldn't have such an effect.

Therefore, this is also a one-time use soul tool.

In a very short moment, the metal plates on Jiang Nannan's body began to fall off.

Old Song frowned, and his figure disappeared from the stands in an instant.

Although Jiang Nannan's physical condition was more than enough to withstand the blow, could she just stand by and watch her apprentice get hurt?

After a flash of extremely fast azure light, the Ice-Fire Poison Dragon Drill exploded in mid-air, unleashing an astonishing energy fluctuation and stirring up a huge cloud of dust. A trace of blood spilled from the corner of Meng Hongchen's mouth.

The illusory ice toad behind them also disappeared.
