Douluo Dalu 2: Heavenly Eyed Douluo

"Princess!" One of the Star Luo Imperial Academy's members quickly noticed Huo Yuhao's figure standing behind Princess Jiu Jiu. Hearing their teammate's warning, the others quickly took action.

Flashes of soul rings lit up the area as almost all of them unleashed their killing-type soul skills in rapid succession, aiming directly at Huo Yuhao.

Their soul skills were no joke, the "weakest" amongst them was at least 5000+ years old! Under such a siege, a Soul Ancestor wouldn't be able to survive.

It wasn't over either. At that moment, Princess Jiu Jiu's third soul ring lit up and the soul rings her teammates had used, showed little stars in them. It was called Starglory spell, it was the ability that would enchant their soul skills that would add a star shower effect, acting like mini bombs while also weakening the opponents' attack power.

The support skill they received from Princess Jiu Jiu made their soul skills more powerful than normal, and in a combined attack—a Soul Sage would even be killed by them!

As for the matter of friendly fire, considering Princess Jiu Jiu was so close to Huo Yuhao, she already had it covered—a Class 5 Invincible Barrier Soul Tool, it could resist any soul master below an eight-ringed Soul Douluo for 3 seconds.

The soul barrier was something her brother prepared for her when they saw Huo Yuhao was joining in the fight.

Normally she would refuse his help, as she was confident in her battles and it would've felt somewhat cheating. But seeing she was fighting against Shrek with Huo Yuhao participating...

If she hadn't meet the requirements, she would've used a Class 6 Invincible Barrier that could even defend against a Titled Douluo's attack!

As the soul skills were about to reach Huo Yuhao, he lightly smiled and raised his right hand into a handseal.

[Substitution Jutsu]

Just before the deadly barrage of soul skills could land on Huo Yuhao, a puff of white smoke enveloped his figure, and in an instant, he disappeared from his position.

A wooden log, charred and cracked from the onslaught of soul skills, appeared in his place, taking the brunt of the attack before shattering into pieces as it fell into the ground.

"What?!" They all went wide-eyed in stunned disbelief, the audience were equally shocked.

"Wha—where did he go?!" one of the Star Luo Soul Kings shouted, eyes wide in disbelief.

Princess Jiu Jiu's golden eyes narrowed in frustration. "Stay alert! He's using some kind of spatial technique."

"Princess!"

"H-Help!"

Princess Jiu Jiu and her teammates turned their heads and saw two of their teammates, Huang Heyun and Dugu Shangshan, their best fighters disappeared from their spot.

"Sorry princess, but I'm going to borrow them for a moment." Huo Yuhao's voice sounded in Princess Jiu Jiu's head.

Princess Jiu Jiu's heart sank. Her strongest fighters had been taken out of their formation without even realizing it.

"You—?!" she started, but before she could finish, a fiery figure burst out of the mist above them, carrying an intense outburst of heat.

It was Ma Xiaotao, at that moment, she appeared to transform into a real fire phoenix with her six soul rings in full display. The phoenix flames' searing red colors were raised to a white incandescence. She closed in on her opponent while launching a stream of Phoenix Fireline.

However, Ma Xiaotao's white-hot flames started to tilt towards the side before they began to drift up into the sky.

'This feeling....it's like Yuhao's soul skill—Fire Control!' Ma Xiaotao narrowed her eyes at a girl stepping forward before the group.

Her looks were average, and she looked like a simple and normal girl. Her most defining feature was her eyes– it seemed as if her eyes were blazing with fire. All five of her soul rings were undulating on her body as her right hand reached out toward Ma Xiaotao's phoenix flames in the distance.

She was the one that had drawn Ma Xiaotao's Phoenix Fireline away.

Control System Soul King, Yi Chen, Fire Element Martial Soul.

There was a green circle appearing around Ma Xiaotao, and the wind around her suddenly intensified, swirling fiercely and creating resistance as if attempting to push her off course. It was as if the air itself had turned against her, trying to smother her flames and divert her attacks.

'What the–?! Of course, the Windfire Duo!' A while ago, Wang Yan had warned her and the others about a particular duo of control system soul masters that can control Fire and Wind respectively.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw another girl standing beside Yi Chen.

Control System Soul King, Wang Shiyin, Wind Element Martial Soul.

The Windfire Duo's soul rings began to show stars, Starglory Spell was going into effect once more.

Ma Xiaotao saw the changes to their soul rings and decisively unfurled her wings, landing on the ground. The Windfire Duo used that opportunity to attack her—with the combination of wind and fire, they created a large fire tornado around Ma Xiaotao, trapping her inside it.

Unsurprisingly, the Fire Tornado didn't do any damage to Ma Xiaotao, but it worked as a temporary prison as with the Starglory Spell would continuously weaken her attack power—making it impossible for her to escape.

Suddenly there were a burst of blue lightning on the left side of Star Luo Imperial Academy team and an even intense golden lightning from the right side—it was an all-out pincer attack from both Bei Bei and Xi Xi respectively.

[3rd+2nd Soul Skills: Thunderous Fury and Vigorous Thunderbolt]

[3rd+4th Soul Skills: Thundering Devastation and Lightning Fang]

The sounds of a roaring dragon and the growling leopard accompanied the the crackling of intense lightning as Bei Bei and Xi Xi charged from both flanks, their combined assault like a fierce thunderstorm descending upon the Star Luo National Academy team.

The blue and golden arcs of lightning surged through the air, each strike carrying devastating force.

However, they were quickly intercepted by the remaining two Soul Kings—Chen Xiaojie and Sheng Yi.

A thunderous flap of wings echoed across the battlefield as Chen Xiaojie, possessing the Lightning Warfalcon martial soul, soared into the air.

His body crackled with yellow lightning, matching the intensity of Xi Xi's Thundering Devastation. The falcon's screech resonated as arcs of lightning shot out, meeting Xi Xi's own attack head-on.

At the same time, Sheng Yi, a skinny figure, unfurled his own yet gigantic wings. His martial soul was the Gigant Eagle, and he was a Defense System Soul King—his sole purpose in the team was to protect Princess Jiu Jiu, their core of the team.

Facing Bei Bei's Thunderous Fury, Sheng Yi's Gigant Eagle martial soul flared to life, its enormous wings creating a protective barrier of wind and feathers.

His job was clear—protect the Princess at all costs!

As Bei Bei's powerful lightning attack surged toward him, Sheng Yi flapped his wings with tremendous force, generating gusts of wind strong enough to divert and weaken the lightning strikes.

"Nice try, but I'm not letting you get to her!" Sheng Yi shouted, his eyes fixed on Bei Bei. His wind barrier absorbed the brunt of the attack, leaving him mostly unscathed.

Meanwhile, in the sky above, Chen Xiaojie and Xi Xi's lightning clashed violently. As both Agility System Soul Kings, they moved as fast as lightning—both looking as yellow blurs.

The yellow lightning of the Lightning Warfalcon intertwined with Xi Xi's golden arcs from Lightning Fang. Sparks flew as the two battled for dominance in the air, neither willing to give an inch.

'We're losing edge here,' Princess Jiu Jiu squinted her eyes a little as she gradually pointed her right hand into the sky.

A single golden speck of light sparkled on her fingertip as the brilliance of the Star Crown above her head flickered once more.

She began to wonder where Huo Yuhao took Huang Heyun and Dugu Shangshan, and why—but as long as they keep him occupied, she didn't care.

"We shall achieve victory!" A streak of golden light shot up into the sky, as her first soul ring sparkled.

The ray of golden light paused as it approached the protective dome around the competition stage. Immediately afterwards, a single brilliant star appeared above Princess Jiu Jiu's head. This star wasn't big, but it exuded a vigorous radiance.

Princess Jiu Jiu closed her eyes momentarily as she spread her hands, and patch of starlight transformed into uncountable rays of light. The threads of light glimmered as a vast majority of them vanished into thin air.

Only four streaks of light remained as they guided Princess Jiu Jiu like a bridge. These four rays of light shimmered within the Icemist while they phased in and out of sight.

This was the Starguiding Technique, her first soul skill. She successfully located her four opponents hidden within the Icemist with the help of the star's guidance.

Whistle~

"If I had known she could do that, I should've wished for something." Huo Yuhao mused, his tone light as he watched the streaks of light dart through the mist, honing in on him and the others.

He then turned towards two battered and bloodied young men looking at him warily, Huang Heyun and Dugu Shangshan, and grinned.

Huo Yuhao twirled the kunai in his hand with a playful smirk and said, "C'mon~ Is that the best that you two could do in stalling me? Even my friends could do better than that."

Huang Heyun and Dugu Shangshan gritted their teeth, with resounding beastly roar, they charged at Huo Yuhao without any hesitation. Their eyes were completely red with fury and desperation, their killing intent palpable.

Huo Yuhao effortlessly dodged their wild charges, his movements fluid and precise. His Sharingan glowed intensely, allowing him to see every muscle twitch and shift in their bodies before they even made their moves.

Huang Heyun's Darkdemon Tiger claws, glowing with a dark energy, slashed through the air, while Dugu Shangshan's Netherworld Crazed Lion unleashed a shockwave with its roar at point blank.

Yet, impressively, none of their attacks could even come close to hitting him.

Huo Yuhao danced between their strikes with ease, dodging and weaving as if they were moving in slow motion, moreover, he even started doing dance moves while dodging their attacks.

Although it appeared as if he was doing it effortlessly, the truth was that he was pushing himself to his limits. He had turned off his weighing bracelets and was using Ghostly Tracks(AN: I shortened it) and Body Flicker in dodging their attacks.

That's right—he was treating this as a training session! He usually doesn't get a chance to fight against opponents that doesn't hold back.

His clones are weaker than him, his friends and he had some reservations fighting against each other, and Elder Xuan was nowhere to be seen.

These guys were the perfect dummies for him to vent and train.

Huang Heyun roared in anger and frustration, "Stop toying with us, you fucker!"

"How the fuck do you even dodge sound?!" Dugu Shangshan screamed like bloody murder, he felt like he was going insane.

Why was he doing this? What did they do to piss off this demon?!

Huo Yuhao flipped the kunai in his hand and grinned. "You're angry—good. That makes it more interesting."

"You know the deal, entertain me for a while, and I won't get in the way of Princess Jiu Jiu."

"Why are you torturing us like this?! What have we done to you?!"

Huo Yuhao tilted his head and said, with a straight face, "No, you didn't do anything to me. Seriously, I'm not doing this out of some kind of revenge. This isn't personal against you or anyone in your team..."

"Then why?!"

"Just cause."

Both Huang Heyun and Dugu Shangshan stared at him, dumbfounded.

They wondered if they were just sleeping and having a nightmare or they died and went to hell.

Huo Yuhao raised his kunai. "I'm gonna stab you both now."
