Feeling the intense fluctuation of the flames on Ma Hongjun's body after that one sentence, Ao Shiqin couldn't help but mentally light two candles for these two guys who dared to provoke before the battle.
With the Flame Armor Shield in front, Ao Shiqin and Ma Hongjun steadily advanced toward the center of the arena. While walking, Ao Shiqin used the internal communication function of the Spirit Conduction Mask to say:
"They both have optimal soul ring configurations. They really are elite students of Canghui Academy, without a doubt.
The person on the left has a boomerang as his Martial Soul; he's likely a Dexterity-Attack type soul master. This kind of Martial Soul must have ranged attack capabilities. One important thing to note is that his attacks might have a locking feature, so even if you dodge, you can't lower your guard.
The one on the right has the Nine-Ring Blade as his Martial Soul, which should be a standard Close-Combat Strong-Attack type Soul Lord. Just go head-on.
Once the battle begins, you temporarily focus your energy on restraining that boomerang soul master. Pay attention to the distance between us—don't let it get too far, so I can help you with the telekinetic shield for defense."
"Understood."
The conversation between Ao Shiqin and Ma Hongjun took roughly three seconds. During these three seconds, both sides continued advancing toward each other. It seemed that the development of this two-versus-two Douluo fight was heading toward intense close-range combat.
The audience, who loved this kind of combat style, couldn't help but cheer, but at this moment, both sides in the fight simultaneously stopped moving.
Using the momentum of his previous dash, the Boomerang Soul Lord threw the Martial Soul boomerang he had been holding. Although the surface showed no change in the boomerang, Ao Shiqin clearly saw that the Boomerang Soul Lord's two hundred-year soul rings were already in an activated state.
When facing a soul skill with unknown effects, taking a straight-on hard hit is never the best choice.
Testing: Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Fire Line already rushed toward the boomerang the moment it was thrown.Dodging: Ao Shiqin and Ma Hongjun, in perfect coordination, quickly moved a few steps to the right side of the boomerang's trajectory.Enhanced Defense: Ao Shiqin's Millennium Soul Ring glowed with its own light.
Explosion: When the Phoenix Fire Line and the boomerang met in midair, a violent explosion occurred. The shockwave and flying flames momentarily blocked the vision of both sides. Yet Ao Shiqin keenly sensed that this attack was far from over.
A second—or perhaps half a second—later, a boomerang that should have disappeared in the explosion or lost its effectiveness instead shot straight out of the blast radius, heading directly toward Ao Shiqin and Ma Hongjun, who had changed their original positions.
Seeing the boomerang less than three meters away, Ma Hongjun quickly spat out another Phoenix Fire Line and without hesitation stepped back behind Ao Shiqin. Ao Shiqin, coordinating with the glow of his First Soul Ring, released the Flame Armor energy shield, taking a standard defensive stance.
The hastily fired Phoenix Fire Line was still a bit thin and couldn't block the spinning boomerang, but since the boomerang had been repeatedly weakened, it was no longer in its optimal state. Ao Shiqin's Flame Armor Shield on his arm only vibrated slightly and sent the already-weakened boomerang back into its owner's hand.
The first clash between the two sides ended like this, and the battle temporarily returned to the starting point.
Ao Shiqin's mind rapidly analyzed the information about the opponent's soul skills from the recent clash. Although this encounter seemed very brief, the information revealed was still very useful.
"Fatty, this guy's first soul skill seems to give the boomerang explosive capabilities. But I haven't fully understood the effect of the second soul skill yet. All I can say is that the second skill allows the boomerang to split.
How many boomerangs it can split into? Will the split boomerangs retain explosive abilities? Or can the splits still be controlled by the soul master like the original? These are all unknown."
"No problem. The boomerang, only empowered by the first two soul rings, isn't very strong. I can simply use Phoenix Fire Line to block it, and it can't break through your Flame Armor Shield. Even with the telekinetic shield, blocking the first strike won't be an issue."
Hearing Ma Hongjun's reply, Ao Shiqin immediately began accelerating toward the "Boomerang and Blade" duo. Of course, he didn't forget to inform Ma Hongjun of his next combat plan.
"No need to guess—close combat. I don't believe this guy dares to play with explosions near me. You go tie up that Nine-Ring Blade Soul Lord for a while, I'll deal with him. Once it starts, stay alert and watch out for ambushes."
"Got it." Upon receiving the plan, Ma Hongjun ignited his Second Soul Skill, the Flaming Phoenix. The flames burning violently behind him compressed and then suddenly expanded. Ma Hongjun, like he had a nitrous acceleration system installed, drastically increased his speed in a short time. Before the two opponents could react, he charged straight at the Nine-Ring Blade Soul Lord, who had not yet acted.
Ao Shiqin, left behind, twitched at the corner of his mouth. "Hey, I didn't add any acceleration to the Spirit Conduction device. Aren't you afraid of falling out of sync and being surrounded if you move that fast?"
But despite the comment, Ao Shiqin's feet didn't slow down. The Five-Animal Exercises, though not very lethal in actual combat, allowed Ao Shiqin to develop a body technique that increased his straight-line speed. It was derived from the Tiger Strike motion of the Tiger Exercise. Ao Shiqin named it Fierce Tiger Descending the Mountain.
The flow of spirit power subtly shifted. The energy shield of the Flame Armor Shield retracted. Accompanied by a barely audible tiger roar, Ao Shiqin, like a real tiger descending a mountain, covered the distance in only two leaps and approached within two meters of the Boomerang Soul Lord.
A strong sense of danger descended. The already formidable Boomerang Soul Lord finally recovered from the shock of Ao Shiqin and Ma Hongjun suddenly changing their advance style and speed.
Unable to release his soul skills in time, the Boomerang Soul Lord could only clash head-on with Ao Shiqin's Flame Armor Shield, holding only the original boomerang.
Intentional versus unintentional, combined with the power bonus of the Flame Armor Shield, the boomerang in the Boomerang Soul Lord's hands was directly struck away by Ao Shiqin. For the moment, the Boomerang Soul Lord could only fight empty-handed.
However, he was no pushover. Realizing his strength wasn't enough to contend with Ao Shiqin, he decisively let go. The moment the boomerang flew out was also when he activated his Third Soul Skill along with his First Soul Skill.
Under the Spirit Conduction Mask, Ao Shiqin raised his eyebrows slightly. Even without looking back, he knew the boomerang he struck away was rapidly heading toward his back.
"Quite decisive. He's forcing me to turn around and defend."
The sound of the approaching boomerang was already clearly audible. "Two boomerangs." That was Ao Shiqin's first reaction upon hearing the sound. Immediately after, he realized more issues: "The weight of the boomerang is off. Is his Third Soul Skill meant to enhance the boomerang?"
Time was extremely tight. Ao Shiqin could only gather information in a flash, but he still had to make a choice: move forward and eliminate the temporarily less-resistant Boomerang Soul Lord, or move backward to defend his rear.
"Well, although I'm still an underage kid, I choose to do both."
Ao Shiqin split the three telekinetic shields formed by his Third Soul Skill, Crispy Shrimp Fried Chicken Burger, into two groups: one stayed close to protect his rear, while the other two actively intercepted the spinning boomerangs at a one-meter distance.
At the same time, he stepped forward without hesitation, closing in on the Boomerang Soul Lord, who was trying to retreat. With the deliberately activated Second Soul Ring's light, the crimson fire energy on the jade rhino horn of the Flame Armor Shield quickly converged.
