Douluo Continent: Not enough bloodline? Make up for it with brains!

The content of the endurance test also varies greatly.

Chapter 35, Level 8

Upon entering the next room, Xu Yuan saw a device resembling an Ascension Platform.

"Your eighth test will be held in the Soul Arena. Your opponents will be projections, whose strength is that of an ordinary Great Soul Master on the continent. Your task is to engage in continuous Soul Battles. You will pass after winning ten battles and receive six points. After that, you will receive one more point for each Soul Battle victory."

The seventh level tested practical skills first.

Then the eighth level tests endurance in a real-world combat setting.

Battle Arena...

Is it a virtual platform built by simulating the Great Battle Arena?

Xu Yuan already knew that all the major powers had mastered the basic technology of the Ascension Platform, but he did not expect that Shrek Academy would use this technology to develop so many virtual platforms.

The former Colosseum, now the Soul Arena.

"Of course, this level allows you to cooperate and participate in a 3v3 match."

Is there also a 3v3 mode?

"In that case, let's make it 3v3 then," Xu Yuan shrugged, seemingly unconcerned.

Although the addition of Xu Lizhi, who has no combat power, will increase his pressure, Xu Lizhi is not without use. His steamed buns can restore strength, which is a unique advantage in this endurance test.

The three of them entered separate, sealed cabins.

"Welcome to the Arena."

The scene before the three of them completely changed, transforming from the assessment room into a huge arena.

There were no host or audience members in the arena, only mechanical voices from the system.

"3v3 small team competition, first match."

A mechanical sound rang out, and three figures appeared opposite Xu Yuan and his companions.

The Soul Arena is different from the Hall of Heroes of the Tang Sect. The Hall of Heroes contains simulations of powerful Soul Masters who actually existed in the history of the Tang Sect, or at least the reasonable strength of each realm is deduced from their abilities.

The Soul Arena was built by Shrek Academy based on information collected about Soul Masters of all levels across the continent.

It's not that the opponent inside is some Soul Master from the mainland.

The Soul Arena collects information on almost all types of martial souls and various soul skills on the continent. It allows users to combine martial souls, soul skills, and soul rings according to their needs, thereby generating various projections.

The enemies that Xu Yuan and his two companions are currently facing are all at the most ordinary level of Great Soul Masters.

One yellow spirit, two yellow spirit rings, spirit power below level 25, and combat skills at a beginner level.

"Both players, get ready."

Just three seconds after the opponent was generated, a mechanical voice announced the start of the match.

Xu Yuan released his martial spirit, wielding the Heavenly Origin Brush.

He didn't intend to fight with the Heavenly Origin Spear. In the current small-group battle, it's best for him to act as a control-type Soul Master, and in this form, he can better conserve his Soul Power.

Ye Xinglan released her martial spirit, the Star God Sword, holding it in her right hand with a sharp gaze.

Xu Lizhi hid behind Xu Yuan and began making steamed buns.

His first soul skill is the Recovery Meat Bun, which can restore physical strength and soul power, and can also provide basic treatment for injuries. If the injury is not serious, the Meat Bun can heal it.

Ye Xinglan, wielding the Star God Sword, charged forward; her fighting style was to take the initiative.

The three figures opposite quickly dispersed. Two of them, who seemed to be agile attackers, bypassed Ye Xinglan from both sides, while the remaining one, a defensive Soul Master with the Martial Soul Xuan Turtle, charged straight at Ye Xinglan, trying to hold her back.

Xu Yuan stood behind, wielding the Heavenly Origin Brush.

Whizzing!

Two blobs of ink swiftly landed in front of the Xuan Turtle Soul Master. One of them exploded with wood element, causing numerous trees to grow and entangle him. The other blobs of ink landed, and earth element quickly transformed into soil, which then entangled the opponent along with the trees.

Draw the ground as a prison.

Xu Yuan continued to wield the Heavenly Yuan Brush, and ink composed of water and earth elements formed small swamps under the feet of the agility-type Soul Masters on both sides.

Ye Xinglan rushed halfway, and the yellow soul ring around her body flickered.

"First Soul Skill, Sword God Star!"

The tip of the Star God Sword in his hand shimmered like starlight, and the starlight drew a line as it stabbed towards a Soul Master with a Cheetah Martial Soul to the side.

Xu Yuantian wielded his brush, working with Ye Xinglan to restrict the Cheetah Soul Master's movements.

Ye Xinglan was very focused on this sword strike.

She had seen Xu Yuan's gun before and was shocked that Xu Yuan had already grasped the essence of the gun.

She had not yet developed her own sword intent, but her heart was already devoted to the way of the sword. At this moment, her sword strike gathered all her thoughts and energy.

......

Three Soul Masters challenged three Great Soul Masters, a feat far beyond their current level.

Xu Lizhi, lacking combat skills, could only stay in the rear and had to guard against being ambushed.

Xu Yuan and Ye Xinglan are also under tremendous pressure.

But in the end, they will be able to defeat their opponents.

The only difficulty is having to fight continuously.

Even after achieving victory, the battle must continue.

Fortunately, although Xu Lizhi lacks combat ability and needs protection, he can make restorative meat buns.

Based on his calculations, Xu Yuan was certain that he could hold out from beginning to end.

In a battle, Xu Yuan's soul power is only half consumed, but as long as he eats a meat bun, he can be fully restored. In a battle, Xu Lizhi's big meat bun can also play a perfect role.

As for Ye Xinglan, her energy was depleted much faster.

Xu Yuan mobilized elemental power by fusing his own soul power with the external天地元气 (heaven and earth energy), and his own soul power only accounted for 40% of that.

Ye Xinglan, however, would almost completely deplete her soul power in a single battle.

Of course, eating more large meat buns can also restore her energy, but you have to eat three.

It may seem like it can move in perpetual motion, but in reality, it has quite a few problems.

Because a battle only lasts for a little over ten minutes.

Ten battles took only an hour and a half, but they required eating thirty steamed buns...

This is a battle.

......

The first five battles went well, but by the sixth, Ye Xinglan simply couldn't eat any more steamed buns.

Fortunately, the power of the undigested meat bun remaining in her body continued to restore her strength, allowing her to barely squeeze out soul power to fight in the sixth battle.

In the seventh episode, she ate another large meat bun.

Xu Yuan exerted more effort to restrict his opponent and reduce the pressure on her.

In the eighth match, Ye Xinglan retreated to Xu Lizhi's side and basically did not participate in the battle. She ate two large meat buns to restore her strength.

In the ninth game, the positions were switched back.

Xu Yuan's condition is fully restored.

In the tenth match, Xu Yuan exhausted his soul power to defeat three Great Soul Masters in a one-against-three battle.

Ye Xinglan, however, has not fully recovered.

She really couldn't eat anymore, but managed to eat a large meat bun, and spent the rest of the time meditating to recover her soul power.

Therefore, Xu Yuan was under tremendous pressure, truly fighting three against one.

"Little fatty, give me a few more steamed buns!"

In the eleventh match, Xu Yuan did not intend to back down and still chose to fight three opponents at once.

He can eat.

While fighting, you can consume large meat buns using the Devouring Heaven and Earth Technique, which not only restores your health quickly but also rapidly eliminates the feeling of fullness.

It can be said that his cooperation with Xu Lizhi was perfect.

However, Xu Lizhi was in a dilemma.

"Xu Yuan, my soul power is almost exhausted. I can only make five more large meat buns at most."

Chapter 36 Xu Yuan's Ambition

Five?

Xu Yuan sighed inwardly.

Although the battle had lasted so long, and he and Ye Xinglan were able to recover physically, their mental exhaustion was inescapable.
