1615 Steamed Boxing King Douluo

At that point, Da Mo was already feeling slightly desperate. He was tied up by a Soul Douluo for such a long time that it was becoming embarrassing! Moreover, there were so many members of the media down there, so how would he justify his poor showing? After all, he was a powerhouse that had been renowned for many years.

Taking that into consideration, he chose not to evade Xu Lizhi as he was confronted by his charge. The way he saw it, it was an absolute disgrace for him to dodge it at this point.

He lowered his shoulders and slammed straight into Xu Lizhi at close range, aiming at Xu Lizhi's chest. At the same time, he gathered soul power in his fists rapidly. As long as they collided, his next strike would certainly be as powerful as a mighty storm. He was going to finish off the little chubby boy in the next round of attacks for sure.

The suction force radiating from Xu Lizhi's body was exceedingly strong. Moreover, Da Mo took it upon himself to brace Xu Lizhi. As a result, both of them slammed into one another almost instantaneously.

Just as expected, the Boxing King Douluo Da Mo's shoulder slammed heavily onto Xu Lizhi's wide chest. At that moment, Da Mo could even feel the opponent's chubby flab vibrating all over his body. Whatever the case, the majority of Da Mo's force of impact had been neutralized by Xu Lizhi's rippling flesh.

There was also the four-word battle armor he was wearing. Faint radiance was blooming from the surface of the dark purple armor. Its endurance was incredible.

Da Mo was a three-word battle armor master himself, and he had always dreamt about owning a set of four-word battle armor. He was genuinely quite envious of Xu Lizhi. Xu Lizhi was a young man just over twenty years old, yet he had already begun to his four-word battle armor. It was an extraordinary feat for his generation, so how could Da Mo not be jealous?

Da Mo could even feel how sturdy and heavy the opponent's four-word battle armor was during the collision. He immediately realized that Xu Lizhi's strength when they clashed using pure brute force earlier was definitely related to this battle armor.

All these thoughts flashed past his mind in a split second. However, he suddenly realized that something was not right. Xu Lizhi was not blasted away by the impact, despite such a forceful collision. The suction force radiating from Xu Lizhi's body had resulted in their bodies being stuck together. Furthermore, Da Mo felt his shoulder tighten, as if he had been grabbed by something.

When he lowered his head to take a look, he was astonished to discover that there was a depression on Xu Lizhi's cuirass. The depression was acting like a sucker that tightly held on to Da Mo's shoulder.

Oh no. This was a special active quality of divine-ranked metal. Da Mo had forgotten about that.

Actually, Da Mo could not be blamed in this situation. There were very few that had come into contact with divine-ranked metal. Most people's knowledge about such metal came from hearsay and rumors. In addition, Xu Lizhi was just a Soul Douluo. Da Mo had carelessly underestimated him, so he had forgotten that divine-ranked metal was a living entity with its own intelligence.

Xu Lizhi was not only sucking on the opponent's shoulder with his chest, but he had also suddenly wrapped his arms around the Boxing King Douluo. He had managed to hug the opponent tightly during the moment when Da Mo had been stunned.

What would he do?

In the next moment, Xu Lizhi gave the answer! The seventh soul ring on his body suddenly glowed brightly, and the four-word battle armor on his body bloomed with an intense, bright purple hue in an instant.

The entire sky was illuminated by the purple radiance as if a violet mist had floated in from the east at tremendous speed.

Then…

Everyone watched as a gigantic bamboo steamer over ten metres in diameter appeared out of thin air!

Yes, it was really a bamboo steamer. It was Xu Lizhi's seventh soul skill and martial soul avatar, the Bamboo Steamer.

Both Xu Lizhi and the Boxing King Douluo Da Mo had disappeared. In the sky, all that remained was that incomparably enormous bamboo steamer.

Then, a series of deafening booming noises echoed out from the steamer.

The Bamboo Steamer was Xu Lizhi's martial soul avatar, so that was actually what had happened to his body. If that was the case, where did the Boxing King Douluo go? It was apparent that there could only be one answer.

Almost everyone from the Spirit Pagoda's side was watching in bewilderment. They thought that they had certain victory in their hands, yet this sudden turn of events had left them all surprised.

Even Qiangu Dongfeng looked astounded for the very first time. What was happening there? What was the bamboo steamer?

It was simply the most absurd thing in the world!

The Spirit Pagoda had gathered information related to Xu Lizhi, of course, but they had completely forgotten to take him into account when they came looking for trouble with Shrek. All this while, the food-type soul master from the Shrek Seven Monsters had always been regarded as the least threatening of them.

So, it was that low-risk person that was the cause of this unexpected situation?

'It can't be. So what if that's his martial soul avatar? The Boxing King Douluo has his too! Even if that is a real bamboo steamer, it can't possibly steam him, right?

'I trust that he will never lose to a food-type soul master!'

Qiangu Dongfeng consoled himself.

Nevertheless, every booming sound echoing out from the bamboo steamer was louder than the previous one. Occasionally, purple smog was also surging out from it like steam. Qiangu Dongfeng could not sense the Boxing King Douluo's aura anymore. The purple smog seemed to be equipped with a very powerful shielding effect.

\"That's possible?\" Nevermind their opponents, even Lan Muzi and Tang Yinmeng from Shrek Academy's side were stunned upon seeing that.

Besides the battles where the teams admitted their defeat, this round could be considered rather quick. The participants from both sides had only clashed for a short time before they collided and turned into a bamboo steamer. That was all.

Everyone shifted their gaze to Tang Wulin in unison.

Who was it that allowed Yuanen Yehui and Xu Lizhi to be in possession of four-word battle armor? There could only be one person in this world, of course. It was the newly promoted Divine Craftsman, the Sea God's Pavilion Master of Shrek Academy with the ability to perform Heavenly Refinement, the Dragon Emperor Douluo Tang Wulin!

Tang Wulin had yet to engage in the battle up to this point, but he had his own ways of influencing all of it.

Although Tang Wulin was still young, as he stood there, he was already equipped with the steadiness that was not found in his peers. Even if his cultivation base was not the highest of all, he was the core of all of Shrek.

\"Pavilion Master.\" Lan Muzi looked toward Tang Wulin with a smile.

Tang Wulin said with a bitter smile, \"I know, I know. Everyone's getting it, everyone's getting it.\"

Even the calm husband and wife, Lan Muzi and Tang Yinmeng, found that they were unable to resist the attraction of four-word battle armor. They were feeling how awesome it was for them to be in Shrek and able to receive Heavenly-refined armor!

In Shrek's heyday, before the great catastrophe, they did not even have a Divine Craftsman on their side! However, Shrek had one now, and this would undoubtedly be the crucial factor in Shrek Academy's resurgence.

Only Tang Wulin was not thinking in such a manner. The fact that Xu Lizhi was able to get to this point was not a result of his four-word battle armor, but his own hard work.

Tang Wulin had always known that Xu Lizhi felt inferior. He was even more like that after he had got together with Ye Xinglan. His love for Ye Xinglan was there since he was young, but it was also because of it that he had witnessed Ye Xinglan's abilities with his own eyes.

He examined himself and came to a conclusion that he could never be a good match for Ye Xinglan whether it was his appearance or abilities. Thus, he put more effort and hard work into his cultivation.

He was born with his appearance, so there was nothing he could change. There was nothing he could do about the fact that he was a food-type soul master and his bodyweight was a result of his martial soul's characteristics. Yet, he could do something about his abilities.

In the past, on the Demon Island, he endured the pain and agony caused by the destructive power with his willpower. He had benefited the most from the experience and as a result, he began to find a path of his own.

He did not want to be a pure auxiliary-type soul master for the rest of his life and he wanted to engage in battles. His goal was to become the most powerful helper for his companions when they were confronted by formidable enemies. He wanted to protect Ye Xinglan when she needed help and not be a man that constantly required her protection.
