Chapter 200

The next day, the morning sunlight fell upon the earth, the grass on the lawn teemed with life, bringing new hope………

On the competition field in front of the Papal Hall, the Royal Battle Team and the Spirit Hall team, fourteen people in total, stood opposite each other at a distance of thirty meters.

Today will be the day the final champion of this session's Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition is decided.

Both teams undoubtedly have top-tier talents among the younger generation; among them, Qian Renxue of the Spirit Hall team has soul power reaching seventy-fourth rank, and at only twenty-four years old she is already a Soul Saint powerhouse.

Among the Royal Battle Team members, Gu Xuan is the strongest; at only fifteen years old he has already reached a soul power level of fifty-six, and his talent seems not inferior to Qian Renxue's.

Sure enough, Gu Xuan's age has also been exposed, because in the final match someone will specially test the contestants' bone age, to prevent someone from being helpless, and also to prevent someone from mixing in.

However, few people know Gu Xuan's age, because the age is not announced during the match unless he says it himself.

What's more important is that Gu Xuan's strength remains a mystery so far, because up to now he has not even used his martial soul.

Having learned from Du Gu Yan's previous lesson, most people are wondering whether a talent like Gu Xuan might also possess the ability to absorb soul rings beyond his level.

The two teams stood opposite each other, and the referee's voice sounded: 'Please release your martial souls, both sides.'

After the referee's words fell, Gu Xuan and Qian Renxue both stepped forward simultaneously, their gazes locking; Qian Renxue's face still bore that charming smile, only obscured by a golden veil, which Gu Xuan could not see clearly.

Although Gu Xuan is strong, facing Qian Renxue, who has already broken through the Soul Saint level, still makes his expression solemn.

Because Gu Xuan himself dares not be certain whether he has the ability to defeat the current Qian Renxue.

The current Qian Renxue is considerably stronger than her counterpart at the same time in the original work, after all, in the original the present Qian Renxue has not appeared.

However, the current Qian Renxue is also considerably weaker than when she appeared in the original work, after all, the original Qian Renxue's appearance was five years later.

At that time, Qian Renxue's strength was such that even against an ordinary Titled Douluo she could fight on equal terms; only because she was love‑brained and brainless did Tang San slightly get the better of her.

But even if the current Qian Renxue is not that terrifying, her true strength should be on par with a Soul Douluo‑level powerhouse.

What Gu Xuan can do now is only to give his all, or to take advantage of the fact that Qian Renxue does not know that he knows her identity, deliberately show weakness, then let the opponent reveal a flaw, and perhaps he too will have a chance.

However, although this idea is good, there is one thing Gu Xuan needs to consider: the current Qian Renxue is not the Qian Renxue from the original work.

Therefore, what Gu Xuan should do first is still to give his all, and, if possible, make use of other advantages.

Qian Renxue stepped forward, a golden halo began to flow over her body, and two pairs of golden angel wings with a wingspan exceeding six meters sprouted behind her; the wings did not flap, yet they lifted her whole body ten meters into the air.

As her martial soul was released, Qian Renxue shone like an angelic saint from heaven, the two yellow, two purple, three black seven soul rings on her body rose slowly and undulated; the aura of a Soul Saint‑level powerful soul master burst forth, and it directly pressed upon everyone of the Royal Battle Team.

Seeing this, Gu Xuan no longer needed to hide; as he stepped forward, he directly resisted Qian Renxue's pressure, a layer of silvery‑white dark‑silver bone armor appeared on his body, and his arms likewise turned into a pair of dark‑silver bone claws, extremely sharp.

This is the change that occurred in Gu Xuan after he absorbed his fifth soul ring, the Dark Evil God Tiger; after releasing his martial soul, faint lightning and dark power flowed over his bone armor, greatly increasing his defense.

As his martial soul was released, Gu Xuan's red hair flew about, the pair of blue bangs on his forehead swayed like two azure dragons, and the two‑colored dragon‑head marks on the backs of his hands emitted a lustrous gem‑like light.

At the same time, halos began to rise on Gu Xuan's body.

Yellow, yellow, purple, black, black!

The five soul rings rose one after another, and all the spectators could not help but exclaim, simultaneously confirming their guesses in their hearts.

Again a ten‑thousand‑year fourth soul ring, but when did absorbing soul rings beyond one's level become so easy?

Not only these astonishing five soul rings, Gu Xuan also had eight dragon swords extending behind him, their blades joining to form a pair of sword wings.

At this moment, Gu Xuan's aura is actually not inferior to that of the seventy‑fourth‑rank Soul Saint Qian Renxue; he alone can stand opposed to her.

As their martial souls were released, the members of both sides held nothing back.

The Spirit Hall team's Xie Yue, Hu Liena, and Yan also released their martial souls with their first soul skill, two yellow, two purple, one black five soul rings circling their bodies and undulating.

Today Yan took the field, while the Spirit Hall team's flying soul master Zhang Ping did not appear; besides the three Soul Kings and Yan, the other three are Li Qian, Sun Chuan Tao, and Xu Yu.

Besides Gu Xuan, the Royal Battle Team also has two Soul Kings: fifty‑first‑rank Yu Tianheng and fifty‑third‑rank Ye Lingling.

Shi Mo, Shi Mo, Ao Si Luo, and Yu Feng all have soul power no lower than forty‑eighth rank, and their overall strength is not much weaker than that of the Spirit Hall team.

After both sides released their martial souls, the referee's voice sounded again: 'The match…… begins!'

The final showdown of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition has begun!

As the referee's voice fell, Gu Xuan's sword wings behind him flapped, his whole body turned into a stream of light, taking the lead straight at Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue's Angel Domain is too overbearing; if they fought on the ground it would definitely affect Yu Tianheng and the others, so Gu Xuan plans to fight Qian Renxue in the air.

Watching Gu Xuan take the initiative to attack, Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes flickered, her wings behind her flapped, and she went forward to meet him.

At this moment neither of them used soul skills; Gu Xuan's pair of dark-silver bone claws went straight for Qian Renxue's chest, while Qian Renxue's fists flashed with golden light and collided with Gu Xuan.

The two collided in the high air above thirty meters, and their powerful aura actually affected the people fighting below.

As Gu Xuan and Qian Renxue fought, Yu Tianheng also rushed toward Xie Yue and Hu Liena, who had already become demonic alluring.

Without Qian Renxue's Angel Domain suppressing it, the demonic allure could be fully unleashed.

However, the current Yu Tianheng is no longer the Yu Tianheng from the original work; although his speed indeed cannot keep up with the demonic allure, he has laid a thunder field around himself, and as soon as the demonic allure approaches, he can instantly react.

Furthermore, Shi Mo and Shi Mu gave him their fourth soul skill, Water Armor Shield, temporarily giving Yu Tianheng the ability to restrain the demonic allure.

Moreover, although the demonic allure is strong, Yu Tianheng's thunder power is a rare ability that can counter the demonic allure's mist, which is why he has the advantage of fighting two against one.

Ausluo and Shi Mu directly faced Li Xuan and Sun Chuantao; their soul power was above that of Li Xuan and Sun Chuantao, and only with the amplification of an auxiliary Soul Master could Li Xuan and Sun Chuantao contend with Shi Mu and Ausluo.

As the team's second-strongest after Yu Tianheng, Shi Mo faced Yan; Shi Mo's soul power reached rank forty-nine, and although he had not obtained the fifth Soul Ring, restraining Yan was absolutely enough.

Meanwhile, Yu Feng went straight for Xu Yu; as long as Xu Yu was eliminated, the scales of victory would tilt directly toward them.

They might even quickly defeat the other members of the Spirit Hall team and then go help Gu Xuan deal with Qian Renxue!
