Douluo Dalu 2: I got Kidnapped into Holy Spirit Cult

Jiang Jue lightly shook his Soul Refining Banner, and the Soul-Devouring Raven along with the Twin Cyclops Giants flew out from within.

The Soul-Devouring Raven spread its wings and soared into the sky, while the twelve-meter-tall Twin Cyclops Giants stood like a small tower, firmly guarding Jiang Jue.

As for the two soul masters who had been standing in front of Jiang Jue earlier, they were swatted away by the Twin Cyclops Giants.

Such a massive figure naturally attracted the attention of many soul masters.

"Where did this thing come from?"

"Looks like that kid summoned it."

"Just a three-ring Soul Elder, trying to act all mysterious. Watch me take him down with one strike!"

One of the Soul Ancestors looked at Jiang Jue with disdain. He instantly recognized that the Twin Cyclops Giants were spirit bodies, and spirit bodies were most afraid of light.

His martial soul happened to be the Bright Earth Armor Dragon, which possessed light attributes. Though it was only a sub-dragon-type martial soul, its combination of light and earth attributes made it quite powerful among sub-dragons.

"Wang Defeng, get him!"

"Go for it!"

"Stay sharp!"

"Don't mess this up!"

The people around him cheered him on.

Wang Defeng was the owner of the Bright Earth Armor Dragon martial soul, and he had taken the path of a melee soul engineer due to the strength of his martial soul.

"Watch this!"

Wang Defeng's third millennium purple soul ring lit up, and layers of tough yellow scales appeared on his body. A surge of energy gathered in his mouth, as if he was preparing something.

"Bright Breath!"

A beam of white energy filled with light attributes shot toward the Twin Cyclops Giants.

Just before it landed, the single eyes atop both of the giants' heads flashed with bright flames.

The beam struck them but only left a moderate-sized hole, which quickly regenerated.

"What?!"

Wang Defeng was stunned. He could clearly feel that his light-attribute soul skill had not dealt any additional damage to the Twin Cyclops Giants. In fact, its original power had even been reduced, as if it had encountered a superior light attribute.

This was embarrassing.

He could sense the gazes of those around him shifting.

"Fourth Soul Skill: Bright Dragon Claw!"

His fourth purple soul ring lit up, and he charged at the Twin Cyclops Giants. A phantom, ferocious dragon claw filled with intense light appeared over his right hand.

However, even at full leap, he only reached the giants' knees.

"Swish!"

The claw slashed forward, leaving five marks on the giants' knee.

"Roar!"

The Twin Cyclops Giants let out an enraged roar and grabbed Wang Defeng with one hand before flinging him away.

Wang Defeng's light attribute didn't increase his damage—it actually weakened it in Jiang Jue's presence.

Seeing this, the surrounding soul masters' expressions changed.

Wang Defeng was well-known among the Soul Ancestors present, yet he had been defeated so quickly.

Several soul masters near Jiang Jue quietly took a step back.

They had no idea how many more spirit beasts Jiang Jue had. If a full fight broke out, they might get overwhelmed.

But Jiang Jue had no intention of letting them retreat peacefully—he wanted to display his full strength.

He commanded the Twin Cyclops Giants to charge at the soul masters.

The Twin Cyclops Giants already had spiritual attributes, and after being nourished by Living Gold and enchanted by Electrolux, their overall strength surpassed that of ordinary Soul Ancestors.

However, this was a battlefield of soul engineers.

A fierce battle broke out between the two sides.

At this moment, about forty people remained in the field. Half of them were attacking Jiang Jue, while the other half were engaging Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen.

Meng Hongchen had just completed her Martial Soul Possession. Her originally wine-red hair turned completely snow-white, and her icy blue eyes transformed into blood-red, as if they were about to drip blood.

With each strike of her palms, she condensed masses of icy mist. Those touched by the mist found their faces turning blue, and their soul power ceasing to flow.

This was the terrifying power of her Vermilion Ice Toad martial soul—a unique cold poison produced by alternating between its ice and fire abilities.

She had two yellow, two purple, and one black soul ring—five in total.

"Hey! Over there! How about we clear the field first, then settle things between the three of us?"

Xiao Hongchen's floating metal spheres continuously launched soul tool cannon shells at their enemies. However, the opponents fired soul tool rays back at him.

If this continued, he and Meng Hongchen might really get overwhelmed. So, he extended an invitation to Jiang Jue.

Even though Jiang Jue was just a Soul Elder, Xiao Hongchen fully recognized his strength.

"Alright, let's clear the field!"

"Soul Substitutes for Spirits!"

Jiang Jue's second purple soul ring shone brightly, and the Soul-Devouring Raven suddenly appeared above the enemies.

With a flash of black light, Jiang Jue descended from the sky!

His blood surged, veins bulged, and his body was covered in black mist.

With a single whip kick, a soul engineer was sent flying out of the arena.

Thanks to the Living Gold modifications, his physical strength was now on par with an ordinary Soul King with a beast martial soul.

Most of the students at the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy had advanced their levels by relying on drugs, which worked well for ranged combat, but their close combat skills were weak.

Jiang Jue was like a wolf among sheep, unleashing fierce punches, elbows, and kicks.

Xiao Hongchen watched in shock.

He hadn't expected a Soul Elder to tear through a crowd of Soul Ancestors like this.

"Meng, let's join in."

Xiao Hongchen's golden light flared again, and golden dust spread out.

"Gold Boiling!"

The gold elements around him surged violently, and his floating metal spheres fired even more explosive shells, relentlessly bombarding their enemies.

True power meant no fear—when your firepower is overwhelming, everything becomes safe and secure.

Meng Hongchen's blood-red eyes gleamed with admiration as she watched Jiang Jue. Then, she unleashed a powerful attack of her own.

A swirling vortex of icy blue energy gathered in her hands, with faint red light flickering at its core.

It was as if flames were burning inside an ice vortex.

The vortex descended upon the battlefield, followed by a massive explosion—blue ice and red fire erupted in a dazzling display.

Within five minutes, only three people remained in the arena—Jiang Jue, Meng Hongchen, and Xiao Hongchen.

"What's your name?"

Xiao Hongchen's eyes burned with battle spirit as he looked at Jiang Jue.

"Before asking someone else's name, shouldn't you introduce yourself first?" Jiang Jue replied calmly.

"Hahaha! Since you asked so sincerely, I'll tell you—I am Xiao Hongchen, and I'm about to defeat you!" Xiao Hongchen declared proudly.

Such nostalgia… this level of childishness.

"Hello, I'm Meng Hongchen."

Meng Hongchen blinked her red eyes and spoke softly.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Jiang Jue."

Jiang Jue smiled slightly, looking at Meng Hongchen.

A blush immediately spread across her pale face.

"Meng! We're on the same side! Don't get distracted!"

Xiao Hongchen hurriedly interrupted before turning back to Jiang Jue.

"So, are you fighting us one-on-two, or are we just going to gang up on you?"

Jiang Jue shook his head, raised his Soul Refining Banner, and summoned all his remaining spirit beasts.

They coldly stared at Xiao Hongchen.

"Now tell me… who's really ganging up on whom?"

Jiang Jue's calm voice echoed across the arena.
