Douluo Dalu - The Story Of Sheng Feilong Chapter 66

On the left side of the arena, the sound of swords clas.h.i.+ng against each other continuously screeched out as Ye Xinglan and Yue Zhengyu were fighting . Unlike the beginning of the battle, the disparity between the two of them had become more clear by now; Yue Zhengyu's clothes were slightly tattered while his hair was dishevelled, still, the holy aura surrounding him was stronger than ever before . With his Holy Sword in hand, he had activated his third Soul Skill, Holy Angel's Descent, instantly boosting the holy energy he could muster while attacking Ye Xinglan .

On the other side, Ye Xinglan still stood as straight and proud as before, the starlight around her even denser than before . She was also giving it her all in this fight, though, she wasn't as bad off as Yue Zhengyu; Her breathing was slightly heavy, but her face was still as cold and indifferent as before while she continuously suppressed Yue Zhengyu .

The two of them clashed with one another again and again and slowly, but surely, Yue Zhengyu's Soul Power was depleting . Even though they had fought for many minutes by now, with him continuously at the disadvantage, his team had not yet send anyone to help him, clearly to his irritation . Still, he couldn't spare any effort to look around or ask for help as the fight with Ye Xinglan demanded his undivided attention; Loosing focus for a second could mean his demise!

After a few more clashes, Yue Zhengyu finally came up with a plan . Feigning weakness by deactivating his Holy Angel's Descent, he shouted out loudly before holding his Holy Sword in both hands and charged at Ye Xinglan in a 'last ditch effort' . Ye Xinglan in return used her third Soul Skill to spike her starlight's power even further and countered Yue Zhengyu's attack, causing the latter to fall back .

Ye Xinglan charged after Yue Zhengyu, prepared to end the battle with the next attack, but her indifferent face finally changed when she saw Yue Zhengyu smile faintly . In the air, Yue Zhengyu activated his third Soul Skill, Holy Angel's Descent, once again and struck out at the charging Ye Xinglan with an overhead chop . Caught off guard by the sudden turn of events, Ye Xinglan's face showed dread as she tried to somehow avoid the attack, but it was already to late, she couldn't stop her charge anymore!

She clenched her teeth, deciding to just block the hit with everything she had, prepared to take the brunt of the attack, when the Yue Zhengyu in her vision and everything around them suddenly slowed down . Having fought together with Sheng Feilong before, she naturally recognized what was happening; She was under the influence of Sheng Feilong's shared Mental Detection!

With more time to come up with a plan, she quickly found an opening and turned her body slight, with Yue Zhengyu's Holy Sword barely missing her as it brushed off her clothes! In the same motion, she swung her StarG.o.d Sword upwards diagonally and struck out at Yue Zhengyu's upper body . The latter had no room to dodge, block or somehow prevent the hit, when a powerful Soul Power suddenly stopped both of them mid-motion and Yue Zhengyu was dragged of the arena .

The Holy Spirit Douluo had once again pulled someone out of the arena while Shen Yi disqualified him . Yue Zhengyu had an ugly expression of his face, but after the Holy Spirit Douluo had intervened, there was nothing he could possibly say . With Yue Zhengyu being disqualified and Ye Xinglan remaining on the arena, the match-up was now 7 versus 4 in the first grade's favour!

Ye Xinglan returned to Xu Lizhi's side, grabbing a Recovery Pork Bun before charging out into the fray one more . Meanwhile, Tang Wulin and Xie Xie had been fighting against Bai Hanying and the handsome youth with the Starsaint Sword for a long time now . Although the Starsaint Sword wasn't as powerful as the StarG.o.d Sword, it's attacking capabilities and the starlight were still dreadfully strong . He alone managed to face off against Tang Wulin, who was using his golden claw and golden Soul Ring to fight, and Xie Xie, who was using both of his daggers in tandem, with only the light support from Bai Hanying!

Tang Wulin changed their battle plan and told Xie Xie to go after Bai Hanying while he stalled the Ye clan member . As an Agility Type Soul Master, Xie Xie was best suited to deal with a Support Type Soul Master and he quickly used his Light Dragon Clones and went for Bai Hanying . With Tang Wulin stopping the Ye Clan member from intervening, Xie Xie managed to take her down in less than a minute, disqualifying her from the match!

Having lost the support from Bai Hanying and having to face a pincer attack from Tang Wulin and Xie Xie and even adding the attacks from Gu Yue and Xu Xiayan, the Ye Clan member soon was unable to continue as well and gave up on his own, reluctantly leaving the arena . Tang Wulin and Xie Xie smiled and ate a Recovery Pork Bun, that they still had with them and joined Ye Xinglan in attacking the last member of the second grade's team other than Yuanen Yehui .

Faced with 5 opponents, three of which could take out his own team members on their own, the poor second grade student had no way to put up a fight . He held up for no more than a minute before being pulled out by the Holy Spirit Douluo, battered and bruised, with cuts from Xie Xie daggers and Ye Xinglan's sword all over his body . Even the students of the first grade somewhat pitied the poor guy, while the second grade was deathly silent .

By now, the only ones remaining fighting on the arena were Sheng Feilong and Yuanen Yehui . Their fight was the most ferocious of all those that had been going on . From an outside perspective, it was truly a deathmatch of man versus beast, with Sheng Feilong's barely 175cm tall stature and two shortswords in his hands facing off against Yuanen Yehui's over 5 metres tall t.i.tan Giant Ape transformation!

Yuanen Yehui seemed distressed and was breathing heavily as it was hard for her to keep her transformation for such a long time; they had been fighting since the beginning of the match more than half an hour ago! After the initial attack of Sheng Feilong, she was forced in the defensive and had yet to turn the tables on him since then! By now, both of her arms and parts of her face and upper body were littered with crimson cuts, most of which were oozing small amounts of blood as Sheng Feilong was restlessly a.s.saulting her with his swords; precise and fatal, while his cold eyes continuously stared at her .

Still, she looked way batter than Sheng Feilong himself . Although she had yet to land a single hit, Sheng Feilong's cloths were battered and torn, his hair dishevelled and his body scratched from Yuanen Yehui's attacks and the flying debris that shot out from the ground whenever she broke the arena apart! He hadn't bothered to move more than necessary, only barely dodging her attacks while using the momentum against her and sometimes even parrying her attacks with his swords only to attack her again in the next instant!

Another while later, when Yuanen Yehui was barely able to keep her transformation active, Sheng Feilong suddenly stopped his a.s.sault and took a few steps back after parrying her last attack . He stood as straight as a pole with his shortswords in his hands, his arms calmly hanging down . Yuanen Yehui was stunned at first and instinctively went into a defensive position when she suddenly heard Sheng Feilong speak in a strained tone .

"I think this is enough . The battle has already ended . "

Yuanen Yehui was about to refute him, when he suddenly noticed, that there was no more sound coming from the rest of the arena and she saw Tang Wulin slowly walk over and stop next to Sheng Feilong . She hurriedly looked around and finally saw that she was the only one of her team remaining; no one else stood on the arena with her, moreover, she was surrounded by the first grade's team!

Sheng Feilong looked at her again, his surging bloodline essence and Soul Power slowly subsiding as his breathing became heavier .

"Let's stop here . Your team has already lost and you alone can't win . "

Tang Wulin and the rest silently stood around Yuanen Yehui and waited for her decision . Although they seemed calm, all of them were ready to attack her the moment she decided to refuse to yield . Yuanen Yehui body shook as she stared at Sheng Feilong and she slowly shrunk back to her normal size; with barely any Soul Power remaining, she couldn't keep her transformation any longer, even if she wanted! She still didn't say anything and just stared at Sheng Feilong in silence while blood slowly trickled down from the cuts on her arms .

The Holy Spirit Douluo saw that and deactivated the barrier around the arena as she stood up .

"Yuanen Yehui is unable to continue the fight . The second grade has no more fighters remaining, thus the first grade wins this compet.i.tion!"

As soon as her words finished, the first grade's students burst into excited cheers, but Luo Guixing and a few others frowned as they stared at Sheng Feilong with deep frowns on their faces . They couldn't help but feel some respect for him; for him to go that far to hold of the second grade's cla.s.s president . . .

On the arena, Yuanen Yehui stood still, silently staring at Sheng Feilong with clenched fists; she had lost! Not only had they, the second grade students actually lost to the first grade, she herself had lost against Sheng Feilong in an one against one match where he didn't even use his illusions!

Ever since she found out that Sheng Feilong was a member of Tang Wulin's team, she had naturally investigated on her own, trying to find any information on Sheng Feilong and knew that he was a Control Type Soul Master, not a Power Attack Type like herself . Still, Sheng Feilong managed to thoroughly suppressed her, how could she not be shocked about this . She clenched her teeth and spoke in a low voice, so that the audience wouldn't hear them .

"Why did you need to humiliate me at the Entrance Exam if you can fight like this?!"

Before she even got an answer, Sheng Feilong's body swayed and Tang Wulin was barely able to catch him . He was breathing heavily as his eyes returned to normal and the red symbol on his forehead disappeared . After that, his whole body changed in front of Yuanen Yehui's eyes; His clothes were still tattered and his hair dishevelled, but he didn't look fine in the least . His face was ghastly pale and he was barely conscious, while his arms, shoulders and wrists were bruised, swollen and had become blue .

His whole body was a mess and Tang Wulin had to basically keep him standing with his strength . He was lightly shaking all over with the muscles on his arms and legs repeatedly constricting an expanding again and again . Yuanen Yehui froze in place . She couldn't believe her eyes; the opponent who had fought her the whole time without getting injured suddenly looked like he was about to die!

The Holy Spirit Douluo stepped onto the arena and quickly took a look at Sheng Feilong before anyone could say something . After a moment, she lightly smiled and told Tang Wulin to take him to the side and let him rest . Yuanen Yehui looked somewhat lost when the rest of the first grade also left the arena after Tang Wulin and Sheng Feilong . Gu Yue brushed past her and sighed in an annoyed fas.h.i.+on .

"That's his way of apologizing . He really is a stubborn idiot . "

The Holy Spirit Douluo followed after them and left Yuanen Yehui to stand alone on the arena, still with a complicated expression and a feeling of loss in her mind . The second grade's teacher approacher her and put a hand on her shoulder . Yuanen Yehui questioningly looked at her while her teacher looked in Sheng Feilong's direction with an appreciative gaze, lowly speaking to Yuanen Yehui .

"While he was fighting you, he was constantly supporting his team with his Soul Skill . Whenever they faced danger, he would help them out while keeping you at bay . The sword technique he used . . . is a specialized technique for Agility Type Soul Masters with dual Tool Spirits like daggers . It's already amazing that he could display it to this extent as a Control Type Soul Master, though, he overtaxed his body and Soul Power considerably . Normally, a single punch from you would have been enough to shatter the bones in his arms; even if he parried you strikes, I really don't know how he endured for so long . "

Yuanen Yehui remained on the stage for a long time after that before she finally left with the rest of the second grade . None of them spoke while the first grade was rejoicing . After the compet.i.tion ended, the news of the first grade defeating the second grade with all of their members still standing on the arena spread like a wildfire!
