Douluo: Starting by Taking Control of the Holy Ghost Cult's Saintess

What happens in a melee of dozens of people? From the second year to the fifth year, there is bound to be a gap in the cultivation between students, but this gap is definitely not something that cannot be made up for by numbers.

If five or six students were to attack Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi at the same time, they would also be unable to hold on! Therefore, after a brief moment of daze, the first thing almost everyone thought of was to form cliques.

Dai Huabin did not organize the students of Class One. One reason was that his personality was not good and he had almost no friends. The other was because the other few core disciples in their class were the accomplices of Cao Jinxuan, who had defeated his team with a scheme in the new student assessment. As the saying goes, enemies are particularly jealous when they meet. In this great melee, even if they united together, there would be no chance of winning.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Dai Huabin's first choice was naturally the group of Huo Yuhao, who had given him a blow to his dignity in the new student assessment.

Seeing Dai Huabin approaching them, Xie Huanyue and Cui Yejie were first shocked. They had later heard from Huo Yuhao what Dai Huabin had done to him and his mother in the Duke's Mansion. They were just worrying about having no way to mess with this fellow. Now, wasn't this a pillow being delivered to someone who was sleepy?

Xie Huanyue saw a hint of mischief in Cui Yejie's eyes and immediately understood her meaning. He then cast a suggestive look at Ning Tian's group of three.

Having spent their days and nights together, how could they not know what each other meant?

With Huo Yuhao absent, the one to take up the mantle was naturally this main control soul master, Cui Yejie. They say foxes are cunning, and Cui Yejie, who possessed the Nine-Tailed Fox martial soul, was no exception.

To their surprise, Zhu Lu did not follow Dai Huabin to seek refuge with Xie Huanyue's group. After the new student assessment, Dai Huabin had clearly distanced himself from this childhood friend of his. This made Zhu Lu's heart turn cold, and also exacerbated the split between the two of them.

This also meant that in the future, the two of them would very likely no longer possess the martial soul fusion skill of the Nether White Tiger.

Perhaps what one can't get is the best. Cui Yejie was originally assigned to their team. Because of Huo Yuhao's appearance, Cui Yejie was poached by Class Nine. Dai Huabin had always held a grudge about this, so his attention on Cui Yejie naturally increased.

If the byword for the female owners of the Nether Civet martial soul was "cute," then the byword for the female owners of the Nine-Tailed Fox martial soul was naturally "sexy." How did that old saying go? Cute is not worth mentioning in front of sexy.

After a vacation, Cui Yejie had become even more beautiful and charming. Dai Huabin also seriously sized up this girl for the first time.

Not only was Cui Yejie far more outstanding than Zhu Lu, but she was also much more beautiful! Dai Huabin suddenly thought so.

And facing Dai Huabin's blatant gaze, Cui Yejie sneered in her heart. A piece of trash like you dares to covet this old lady? Just watch how I use you, this motherless thing!

On the other side, Zhu Lu had sought refuge with the team of Chang Cheng'an, Gu Xiaoli, and Pei Xiaoqi. Among them were also two new members named Xu Qiexing and Liu Furong. Plus Gou Luanshi, it was also a perfect seven people.

"Attack," Bei Bei said in a low voice and had already rushed out with large strides. His combat experience was extremely rich. With him, Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, and He Caitou, these four great Soul Ancestors gathered together, it was impossible not to attract the attention of others. Once the others calmed down and noticed their concentration here, they would surely concentrate their forces to attack them without hesitation. And now was the time to strike first.

However, all those present were core disciples. No one was stupider than anyone else. Just as Bei Bei rushed out with large strides, the already core disciple Gou Luanshi suddenly shouted, "Everyone, concentrate your forces and first deal with the team that has multiple four-rings."

The effect of the two words "four-rings" was extremely good. With his reminder, the other fourteen students instantly reacted and quickly surrounded Bei Bei's group.

Seven versus twenty-eight? Everyone was a core disciple. Even if Bei Bei's side had four great Soul Ancestors, the strength of Cao Jinxuan, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao was indeed a bit weaker. Logically speaking, they had no chance of winning at all.

Xie Huanyue was still a four-ring before the end of the school year, but in the second year, there were only him, Ning Tian, and Dai Huabin. And Ning Tian was just an auxiliary type and didn't pose much of a threat to the upperclassmen.

The melee erupted at a touch. Faced with the combined attack of the crowd, it was also within the combat plan of Bei Bei's group of seven. Among all these core disciples, in terms of combat power and attack power, the most formidable was neither Bei Bei nor Xu Sanshi, but He Caitou, who was also a shining four-ring and had just entered the threshold of a level-four soul tool master.

Below seven rings, a soul tool master of the same rank would definitely have the advantage. What's more, He Caitou was the first direct disciple of the soul tool department's vice-dean, Fan Yu. His attainment in the field of soul tool making was definitely the highest among his peers at Shrek Academy. This could be seen from the power of his soul tools. Both his offensive and defensive soul tools were at least twenty percent higher than those of soul tool masters of the same level.

He Caitou was like an iron machine. A large number of metal tubular objects appeared from different parts of his body. Looking at the posture, he was just like a giant hedgehog. The most terrifying were the two huge metal cannon barrels as thick as thighs that he carried on his shoulders. Even if the core disciples of the martial soul department didn't know that it was a fixed-guidance soul tool launching device, they could feel the terrifying dangerous aura it emitted.

After all the metal tubular objects had appeared, He Caitou unceremoniously fired a salvo at the most densely packed area...

In an instant, at least more than twenty beams of light spewed out from his body. The soul power fluctuation that erupted in that instant shocked everyone present.

And just at this time, many people simultaneously felt their bodies lighten, disappearing from the field as if they were riding on clouds and mist.

"The few of you have been eliminated," the smell of alcohol hit their noses. These few students were surprised to find that at some point they were already in the air, and right next to Elder Xuan, a faint white halo was enveloping their bodies.

And just at this time, a great explosion had already occurred below.

The eruption of twenty soul tool light beams, how astonishing was their power? Amidst the violent roar, besides the few students in the center who directly ended their competition, everyone else hurriedly dived to the side.

This strike by He Caitou was of course not without purpose. He was covering the rear for his team of seven. With the cover of his powerful firepower, the seven of them smoothly broke out of the encirclement.

Xie Huanyue himself had personally experienced the power of soul tools. Even in his father's army, they were equipped with many offensive-type soul tools. So he did not delay for a moment and immediately completed his martial soul possession. Five pitch-black ten-thousand-year soul rings slowly rose from under his feet. His belly suddenly swelled, and relying on his own elastic physique, he bounced some of ahe attacks back.

Everyone present saw his terrifying five ten-thousand-year soul rings and couldn't help but suck in a cold breath.

A five-ring Soul King! This was the standard for an outer court graduating student to enter the inner court! No wonder the inner court valued him so much.

With the deterrence of the five-ring Xie Huanyue, the students who had originally been besieging Bei Bei's seven-man team once again turned into a plate of loose sand, each fighting for themselves. But most still took Xie Huanyue's team and Bei Bei's team as their main offensive targets.

Gou Luanshi commanded Chang Cheng'an and the others to once again face off against Xie Huanyue's seven-man team. He clearly remembered how he and his team had been easily stomped by Huo Yuhao with his invincible posture in the new student assessment. Now that Huo Yuhao was not here, it was the best time to take revenge on his teammates.

The scene once again fell into chaos. The major core disciples of the outer court each formed their own camps, forming two major battle circles with Xie Huanyue's team and Bei Bei's team as the main offensive targets.

Elder Xuan on the viewing platform watched this chaotic battle with satisfaction, leisurely drinking his wine, and from time to time making a move to save a student who was about to be heavily injured.

It had to be said that the cooperation of Gou Luanshi's group was quite tacit. In his command-like dog barks, the other people could accurately find the timing to strike. Under the auxiliary support of Chang Cheng'an's Golden White-Eyed Wolf's super-strong attack target taunt transfer, the offensive of the five-ring Soul King Xie Huanyue couldn't exert much effect. The seven of them were besieged in one place by more than a dozen students of considerable strength.

Even so, Xie Huanyue's seven-man team, with a five-ring Soul King, under the amplification of Ning Tian, this continent's number one auxiliary tool martial soul, was not at a disadvantage in the slightest, just being held back by these people.

It was just that in this life's melee selection tournament, no team had the assistance of Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection Sharing. What would the outcome be?

Elder Xuan and a group of teachers stood on the viewing platform. As the battle entered a white-hot state, the frequency of rescued students gradually decreased. No one wanted to be easily eliminated, and all were desperately performing at one hundred and twenty percent of their usual standard.

"Huh?"

Elder Xuan suddenly discovered a strange situation. The two major battle circles were gradually getting closer. Under the situation where all the students were fighting with red eyes, it was clear that some team was deliberately doing this.

The other teachers were all sharp-eyed people. They soon discovered that Bei Bei's seven-man team, during the course of the battle, was constantly moving closer to the battle circle on Xie Huanyue's side. Sometimes, Xu Sanshi would rather risk taking a joint blow just to get closer to Xie Huanyue's side.

What are these seven little ones trying to do?

At this moment, in the chaotic battle, Gou Luanshi finally found a flaw. He aimed for Cui Yejie, whose guard was wide open, opened his mouth to reveal his fangs, and was about to bite her.

If this dog's bite landed squarely, not only might a ghastly tooth mark be left on her delicate body, but she was also worried she might contract rabies.

"Be careful!" Dai Huabin's attention had been on her most of the time. Seeing Cui Yejie being attacked, he hurriedly shouted a reminder, but his body subconsciously rushed to the side.

Gou Luanshi's fangs bit into Dai Huabin's arm. The sharp canine teeth instantly pierced through the skin of his body, which had been amplified by two great soul skills. This made him almost cry out in pain, and at the same time, a cold killing intent suddenly rose in his heart.

Dai Huabin's fourth soul ring shone brightly. He raised his other hand, and it was directly a face full of Dark Meteor Shower. At such a close distance between the two, even if Elder Xuan made a move, it would definitely be too late.

Boom!

Gou Luanshi's face was almost knocked crooked by him. And just as the remaining meteor shower was about to land on him completely, Elder Xuan's rescue finally arrived late. A white light took him out.

And just at this moment, the two major battle circles were already quite close. The positions of the several groups of people surprisingly formed a circle.

"Now!" Bei Bei, Jiang Nannan, He Caitou, and Xiao Xiao suddenly shouted, then leaped upwards.

Cao Jinxuan's first martial soul's first soul ring lit up. It was precisely his ever-victorious Time Stop Domain.

Ning Tian had long been on guard against this move. Not to mention that their opponent in the battle circle, Gu Xiaoli, was also constantly controlling and interfering with them. The ability of the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's second soul skill to remove negative effects was always on.

But the other teams were different. Now that Cao Jinxuan's first martial soul had reached the three-ring level, he could use this skill to exert a control effect even on a four-ring Soul Ancestor.

But with just his one group control field, could he deal with so many people present? The answer was obviously no. Even if everyone present was frozen by him, if he switched to his body martial soul and beat them one by one, it would still take a considerable amount of time.

Just at this moment, their final means was finally revealed—

Xu Sanshi looked at Wang Dong beside him, a complex color in his eyes. And Wang Dong's little face was flushed red as she threw herself into his broad embrace.

A martial soul fusion skill?

Xie Huanyue and Ning Tian's group were all too familiar with this scene and couldn't help but cry out in surprise.

A giant Golden Xuanwu quietly appeared in the center of this circular battle circle. A brilliant golden light bloomed at the moment the huge Radiant Butterfly Goddess embraced and fused with the Xuanming Turtle.

A circle of brilliant halo formed by the mixed light of blue, purple, and gold spread out a magnificent golden swamp on the ground. A strange scene also followed. Wherever the golden light passed, except for Bei Bei's group who had leaped into the air, all the dozens of core disciples within this circle were instantly rendered into golden statues.

Yes, from the very beginning, they had fallen into the calculation of Bei Bei's team. Without Huo Yuhao's cheat-like Spiritual Detection Sharing, the seven of them had gradually controlled the situation on the entire battlefield.

The attention of these people was all attracted by the several great Soul Ancestors and one Soul King. And Bei Bei's group had precisely used this point, plus He Caitou's powerful attack power, to induce these core disciples to divide into two battle circles according to his idea and then re-converge. Then, Xu Sanshi and Wang Dong had unhesitatingly used the martial soul fusion skill they had just obtained—

Blooming in Brilliance, the Splendor of Gilded Gold!

Author's Note: Surprised? Unexpected? In this life, the protagonist avoided the Buddha's divine sense probe, which forced the Tang Buddha to transfer his son-in-law nurturing plan onto Xu Zong. Hence, this different, area-of-effect martial soul fusion skill. Just as a certain great reader commented, this sky-high fortune has been taken by our Xu Zong!
