Chapter 338: Dual Water Domain

As the combatants from both sides took the stage, the people of the Ri Yue Empire grew more focused.

Although judging from just now's individual elimination match, the Ri Yue Royal Soul Master Academy's chance of victory is nearly zero, but what if? What if they win? Everyone has this wishful thinking, and at this moment the people of the Ri Yue Empire are no exception—they too are hoping for a miracle.

Unfortunately, their hopes are destined to be dashed.

Tang Wulin looked at Xu San Shi and whispered, "Senior Brother Three, you haven't forgotten the tactic we agreed on yesterday, have you?"

Xu San Shi gave him a thumbs-up and chuckled.

"Don't worry, I haven't forgotten."

Tang Wulin smiled faintly, then turned his gaze to the opposing team.

When Meng Hongchen met his gaze, her eyes clearly avoided him; evidently she still hadn't decided how to face him.

Xiao Hongchen, meanwhile, wore a face full of indignation, brimming with fighting spirit.

Given his personality, he probably still genuinely believes they have a chance to win.

Tang Wulin couldn't help but feel a twinge of envy at his eternally upbeat nature.

"Indeed, oftentimes it's the foolish who are carefree."

Hearing Tang Wulin blurt that out unexpectedly, Xiao Hongchen flew into a rage.

"Tang Wulin, what do you mean?!"

"Oh no, I accidentally blurted out what I was thinking."

But facing the angry Xiao Hongchen, Tang Wulin wasn't afraid; instead he smiled and retorted.

"I said, 'What's the rush, fool?' Do you think I was talking about you?"

"……!"

Xiao Hongchen still wanted to say something, but Meng Hongchen quickly grabbed him from the side and whispered, "Enough, brother. You can't win against him; it'll only make you angrier and affect the match."

"... I understand."

After hearing Meng Hongchen's reminder, Xiao Hongchen's emotions finally steadied, and he told the referee, "Let's start the match already."

Just seeing Tang Wulin's face made his blood boil.

Hearing Xiao Hongchen's order, the referee respectfully nodded as if facing a superior and announced:

"Then, the match begins!"

Before his voice even faded, soul tools began to emerge from Xiao Hongchen's body, arming him.

He was truly furious to the extreme, desperately needing to vent his rage onto the Tang Sect members.

Who would have thought, an anomaly occurred the very next second.

Xu San Shi, who had been standing at the front of the Tang Sect team, suddenly turned into a puddle of water and vanished.

Immediately after, countless black waters appeared on the stage, making the air turn viscous.

This was precisely Xu San Shi's sixth soul skill, his strongest so far: the Black Tortoise Domain.

Tang Wulin also spread his arms, and his azure fifth soul ring lit up.

Azure light radiated out, dyeing the entire stage ocean-blue, and the Water King Deep Sea Domain once used to suppress the baboon troop was released again.

Just as using the Eternal Freeze Domain and Snow Dance Blazing Sun together would produce a strange chemical reaction, so too do Xu San Shi's Black Tortoise Domain and Tang Wulin's Water King Deep Sea Domain.

Although the two are still far from achieving domain fusion, it's undeniable that one plus one is greater than two.

Under their influence, the members of the Ri Yue Royal Soul Master Academy hadn't even had time to act before their momentum greatly weakened. The terrifying water pressure even made those with lower cultivation struggle to move, and combined with the agony of oxygen deprivation, even the lower‑cultivation among them began to think, "Maybe we should just surrender."

Xiao Hongchen noticed this and roared, "Don't give up! They want to use domain techniques, which surely consume a lot and can't last long! If we hold out this period, they'll be lambs ready for slaughter, for us to harvest!"

Saying that, he didn't wait for all the soul cannons to finish assembling before launching a volley at the Tang Sect members.

Under the influence of the Dual Domain, the assembly speed of his soul cannons was also affected, becoming extraordinarily slow.

Seeing this, Tang Wulin smiled.

He raised his right hand, and an azure dragon appeared beside him; it roared skyward, then the black water on the ground surged violently, black water dragons rising from it to collide with the incoming soul cannon shells.

Xu San Shi's Black Tortoise Domain provided a convenient venue for it, the king of water, so it naturally made good use of it.

"Boom—boom—boom—boom—boom——"

Continuous explosion sounds rang out, and Xiao Hongchen watched in disbelief as all his shells were blocked, none hitting the enemy.

"How……possible……what exactly is that summoned creature……"

He could see clearly that Tang Wulin didn't have a single soul ring lit this time, meaning this strike was entirely led by that water dragon.

Can an attack of this level really be unleashed without a soul skill? What monster is this!

Meng Hongchen saw this, bit her lower lip, and her gaze turned serious.

She knew that if she didn't go all‑out now, this match would truly have no chance of a comeback.

Only to see streams of blue‑white liquid shooting from her back, sweeping toward the Tang Sect members.

This is her sixth soul skill, Corrosive Ice—it condenses her deadly poison into liquid, then combines it with her soul power, giving it tremendous impact force, and the poison's toxicity is already near the extreme limit.

This is also Meng Hongchen's greatest killing move at present; she has tested it, and a single drop of this Corrosive Ice can poison a soul beast as huge as a diamond‑bearing mammoth to death.

As for humans, a single hit is too much even for an eight‑ring Soul Douluo powerhouse to endure; even five‑ or six‑ring soul masters wearing invincible shields would be instantly corroded clean, showing just how potent this toxin is.

Tang Wulin naturally noticed her move as well; when he saw her unleash the sixth soul skill, his expression tightened and he grew tense, but upon seeing the true nature of the Corrosive Ice, he relaxed completely.

He patted the Water Dragon King beside him.

"Partner, it's up to you."

The Water Dragon King nodded in a very human‑like way, then lifted its claw and pointed at the incoming Corrosive Ice in midair.

Then, in Meng Hongchen's astonished gaze, the Corrosive Ice slipped beyond her control and began to disintegrate in the air.

Under the boost of the Dual Domain, this space had become the Water Dragon King's kingdom—any water, and it could command it.

Since Meng Hongchen's poison exists in liquid form, it naturally couldn't escape this rule.

Seeing her strongest soul skill so easily dispelled by the opponent, Meng Hongchen slumped to the ground in defeat.

Her soul skill is so powerful, and its cost is naturally huge as well.

To activate this soul skill, she would need to expend at least three times the soul power of an ordinary Soul Emperor's sixth soul skill.

And this attack being so easily resolved by Tang Wulin meant that she was practically eliminated from this match.

In this match, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy is done for.

And just as she had thought, in this team battle the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy couldn't even last a minute before being easily crushed by the Tang Sect.

This is the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy's first defeat in this match, and also the first time in nearly several decades that it has suffered such a thorough loss.
