Douluo Dalu 4: Ultimate Fighting

The fireball with a diameter of two chi flew forward but was immediately discovered by the Tree Demon. It immediately unleashed more than 10 branches to thrash at the fireball.

“Bang!” With a loud burst, sparks splattered everywhere when the fireball exploded and transformed into a large blaze. Although it had stopped the fireball, the 1,000-year Tree Demon’s branches had been burnt and quickly turned to ashes under the high temperature.

The branches were part of the Tree Demon’s body, causing it to unleash a shriek upon feeling the pain. Instantly, over a hundred vines sprouted out at rapid speed and surged toward Lan Xuanyu and the team from all directions.

Lin Donghui remained expressionless as fireballs continued to burst forth. With Lan Xuanyu’s buff, the massive fireballs were unleashed in quick-fire succession and exploded violently.

The 1,000-year Tree Demon had no choice but to use branches to block the fireballs and prevent them from damaging its main body.

But the fireballs unleashed by Lin Donghui were extremely hot. As more and more fireballs exploded over time, many of the branches were turned to ashes.

Remaining branches that shot downward were slashed apart by Yu Tian’s Mo Sword, preventing even one from reaching Lin Donghui’s body.

Lan Xuanyu praised them inwardly as he watched their coordination and were impressed by how strong their Martial Souls were! It was indeed possible for powerful offense-type Soul Masters to be fearless against other types of Soul Masters.

Although Bing Tianliang’s team looked to be a trio of pure offense, Bing Tianliang was not only strong in battle but acted as a go-between his teammates, so in some sense a combination of both agility-type and control-type Soul Master. This was the true reason why their team was so powerful.

Although Lan Xuanyu had the choice to use the golden-patterned Blue Silver Grass to curl around the Gate of Summoning, he had unknowingly unleashed the silver-patterned Blue Silver Grass as though there was a mysterious hand at work.

In the next moment, a slender calf stepped out of the door. Dong Qianqiu walked through the Gate of Summoning drowsily.

“Why are we in a forest again?” She looked around and was slightly startled.

Lan Xuanyu: “Use your ice spear and shoot it through the crevices.”

“Oh.” Dong Qianqiu glanced at him and as their eyes met, they immediately recalled the time of facing against the 10,000 year Sinister Dark Demon Tiger together, causing some changes in their minds.

Dong Qianqiu raised her right hand and shot out an ice spear that penetrated through the many branches by a crafty angle and straight to the 1,000-year Tree Demon.

The Tree Demon that was already flustered by the incoming fireballs missed the accurate ice spear thrown by Dong Qianqiu.

With a snap of her fingers, the ice spear exploded and froze the 1,000-year Tree Demon’s trunk.

Lin Donghui did not let the opportunity go and unleashed his second Soul Skill after taking a large stride forward. A gigantic beam of flames shot out from the Brilliant Sun straight to the 1,000-year Tree Demon. All the branches that it passed through instantly turned to ashes. Just as the 1,000-year Tree Demon struggled out from the frost, the beam of flames struck its main trunk.

“Bang—”

Fire is extremely effective against wood and has a natural elemental advantage. Furthermore, the 1,000-year Tree Demon’s own strength was only average. Before reaching 3,000 years of cultivation, it was not capable of fighting against the group of youths.

The loud explosion instantly dealt a severe injury. All the branches around instantly turned soft.

Fireballs continued to shoot out in quick succession and exploded on its main body, producing countless sparks all around. After more than 10 seconds of continuous explosions, the 1,000-year Tree Demon finally transformed into a white light that spread into their bodies and disappeared. This included Dong Qianqiu.

At this moment, Dong Qianqiu revealed a look of surprise. “Spirit Ascension Platform?”

“En.” Lan Xuanyu nodded his head and laughed. “See, I’m constantly thinking of you as long as there are good things. About the three promises…”

“You still owe me.” Dong Qianqiu rolled her eyes at him and then disappeared into the Gate of Summoning.

Lan Xuanyu looked in her direction helplessly, laughed and shook his head.

Bing Tianliang remained stationary as he did not make a move, but upon seeing Lan Xuanyu summon Dong Qianqiu, his heart was filled with immense shock.

They had previously encountered Dong Qianqiu in the competition and assumed her to be from another team in Heaven Luo Academy. Who would have thought that she was actually a summon. She was a real human being and not a soul beast! How was it possible to summon a three-ring Soul Master?

This was something out of Bing Tianliang’s team’s knowledge.

Lan Xuanyu looked at Bing Tianliang. “This involves some complicated things related to space laws and even I have not completely comprehended it. Qian Lei and I are able to produce this effect when we coordinate. My friend comes from Heaven Dou Planet.”

After hearing his explanation, Bing Tianliang nodded his head and did not question further. Lan Xuanyu did not feel that it was an act of stealing a party of the Spirit Ascension Platform energy when he was willing to summon Dong Qianqiu in front of them, but instead a form of trust. This unique summon was definitely considered a trump card. Lan Xuanyu did not reserve their abilities in front of them, causing Bing Tianliang to have an even more favorable impression of him.

At this moment, the 1,000-year Tree Demon’s trunk was up in flames, but what Lan Xuanyu and the others did not notice was that within the trunk of the blazing Tree Demon was a purplish and black thorn. It bore straight into the soil before it was burnt and disappeared.

Lan Xuanyu did not dare take any risk of venturing further upon discovering the 1,000-year soul beast, and instead brought the team to explore horizontally and look for other soul beasts.

Soul beasts with 1,000 to 2,000 years of cultivation were the most valuable to them. As a team of six, such soul beasts were not too great a threat but at the same time able to provide good harvest. They were able to sense the greater effect from the 1,000-year soul beast energy as compared to the 100-year soul beasts.

Through encountering different soul beasts, the coordination between the six became even better. Lan Xuanyu positioned as the overseer, Qian Lei was responsible to summon, Bing Tianliang was to remedy any errors, while Yu Tian and Lin Donghui acted as the main fighting force with Liu Feng performing ambushes from the side. When night came, they had killed more than 10 soul beasts, where seven were 1,000-year soul beasts. The harvest was rather plentiful. The crucial point was their ability to maintain at their peak states the entire time, where they had swiftly killed a 1,000-year soul beast that had ambushed them.

Bing Tianliang, Yu Tian, and Lin Donghui were able to sense that they were much more relaxed as compared to entering the Spirit Ascension Platform before.

The three of them were offense-type Soul Masters and did not have any issue in terms of their combat abilities, but their fighting style consumed a lot of their own soul power.

Before reaching seven rings and gaining their own Spirit Core that could replenish soul power, they required different means to recover. In the past, every battle would lead to consumption in soul power, and after a certain degree of exhaustion, they had no choice but to rest.

With Lan Xuanyu acting as the overseer, not only did he provide them with sufficient strengthening effects, he was able to maintain control that allowed everyone to work equally and average out the exhaustion. Doing so greatly decreased their time needed to rest. Furthermore, under his strengthening effects, the might of their soul power had increased, and their efficiency in killing soul beasts had improved.

After the day of cooperation and forming a tacit understanding, the hostility between them had gradually disappeared. After all, they were still young children around the age of 10, how could they truly hold a grudge?

“It’s really boring that we can’t get hungry in the simulated world. Otherwise, we can barbeque some meat to enjoy.” Qian Lei muttered while resting on a mound.

In here, they could not do anything even if they wanted to eat. Dead soul beasts would transform into energy that assimilated into their bodies. No corpses would be left behind for them to barbeque.

Yu Tian smirked, “No wonder you’re so fat, you’re a foodie.”

Qian Lei giggled, “Just like how you don’t eat anything. All you do daily is play with your big knife, your skills in chopping vegetables must definitely be something.”
