Unlock Kamen Riders in Douluo's Way

Although I whine in my head, the show must go on.

"Just a Kamen Rider passing through, don't worry about it." I sling the Musou Saber over my shoulder, grab Ma Hongjun's arm, and haul him up. "Little Fatty, can you still move? If you can, go to the side and chill."

Ma Hongjun nods, panting. His classmates help him to the side, eyeing me with curiosity. "Is he the Kamen Rider?"

Hu Liena stares at me, cautious. Kamen Rider? Never heard of them.

Ma Sheng pushes himself off the ground, takes my measure, and grins wide. "Thought you were someone important. Turns out, you don't even have soul power. Probably trash class. Think a soul tool lets you show off in front of us? Shrek people really don't know how to educate, so how about we do it for your academy today?"

His aura flares, soul power rising. Three soul rings appear, yellow, yellow, and purple—standard for his age, really. Such a display might impress the hicks, but here? It just screams try-hard.

"So, we gonna throw hands? Fine. If I scrap with the students here, I'm holding back, but with you? No problem, I can test my new strength on you."

A flash, and the Meteor Driver's locked on my waist. Under their suspicious stares, I hit the starter.

[Meteor Ready?]

Old-school disco music blares.

"I suggest you four go at once. Otherwise, it's boring if it ends too quickly. Henshin!!!"

A ball of light erupts. Accompanied by the sound effect, I transform into Kamen Rider Meteor.

The Martial Soul Hall guys look grim as they get an eyeful of my armor. Sure, they don't feel any spirit power from me, but this flashy getup radiates a force different from soul power.

They wouldn't mistake Kamen Rider for some armored spirit, of course. But they know damn well neither the Musou Saber nor this form is a martial soul. It's a brand new power.

Understanding dawns, and their faces tighten. To the Martial Soul Hall, any unknown power is a threat, even a weak one. Especially if it's in the hands of Shrek, who they don't exactly get along with.

This has happened before. The Body Sect and Shrek are the reasons the Martial Soul Hall failed most. The Body Sect was a small group they ignored. But its founder created a body martial soul cultivation method and grew to be uncontrollable.

Shrek noticed them first. But back then, Shrek had more teachers than students and no formal teaching qualifications, so they couldn't make them pay attention at all. No one thought that in just ten years, he had already developed to the strength of the first school.

Unlike Zongmen, the academy's purpose is to cultivate talents, so the high-level power is not strong. Only Flender in the entire academy with the title Douluo. With teachers with excellent teaching ability like Master Yu Xiaogang, a large number of students came here from all over the world. The forces behind them also faintly formed Shrek's protective umbrella. This also makes it impossible for Martial Soul Hall to face it openly.

The soul engineers who came from another continent a few years ago were beaten back under the leadership of the Martial Soul Hall because of these two profound lessons. Don't let them have any chance to take root on this continent. And now, another unknown power appeared in front of them, how could they not pay attention to it. What if it is also allowed to grow and spread...

The thought sparks killing intent. The leader, a tall, skinny old man, lowers his head and whispers to the others.

"The four of you, go together."

They look stunned, especially Hu Liena. She wasn't planning to get involved. But when the Wuhun sect elder speaks, she can't refuse.

"Listen, don't kill, just break him. The Martial Soul Hall will back you up."

Hu Liena's face turns gloomy. Seems like the Martial Soul Hall elders really fear this guy. Why? Is there something else they're worried about?

Ma Sheng wanted to teach me a lesson alone. But with the elder's blessing, he's got no worries.

"Boy, you're so cocky, fine. The four of us will take you on. Go!"

They spread out, surrounding me, and unleash their martial souls and rings. Ma Sheng, Hu Yanli, and Yue Zhen each have three soul rings, and Hu Liena has four. All top-quality.

What surprises me is Ma Sheng and Yue Zhen's martial souls. I figured Ma Sheng, being from the same clan as Ma Hongjun, would have the Evil Fire Phoenix. But no, it's a Raging Fire Phoenix.

Yue Zhen's martial soul is Chrysanthemum, same as that Chrysanthemum Douluo back in the main Douluo world. Guess there are some similarities and differences, even in parallel worlds.

"Fire Phoenix Line!"

Hot-headed Ma Sheng can't wait. He activates his first soul skill. A beam of fire slams into me. I just stand there and let it hit, sparks flying everywhere. Before Ma Sheng can even smirk, I walk through the flames like it's nothing.

"Well, this temperature's higher than that fire stick from yesterday. Very sticky, too. Worthy of a top-tier fire-attribute beast spirit. But sadly, nowhere near the temperature on a meteorite."

Ma Sheng's furious. His wings pump, and he soars.

"Arrogant! Second soul skill, Phoenix Dash!"

A giant phoenix wraps Ma Sheng's body.

"Brother Ma, I'll help you!" Yue Zhen holds up his Velvet Celestial Chrysanthemum and unleashes his first soul skill. "Amplify the chrysanthemum fragrance!"

A light yellow smoke, fragrant, merges into the phoenix around Ma Sheng. The phantom solidifies, making it hard to see Ma Sheng inside, and the temperature spikes.

"Ohhh, this power's decent. But the charge time's too long."

"As long as you can't dodge!"

Just as I look up, Hu Yanli grabs me from behind, his soul ring lighting up.

"Third soul skill, Diamond Body!"

Crystals coat Hu Yanli's body, making me feel like I'm being held by a bronze statue. Can't struggle free. The Elephant Armor Sect lives up to its name. Even my nearly eight-ton arm strength can't break free.

"Haha, Huyanli, trap him like that! Here I come!"

Ma Sheng laughs, a phoenix cry echoing. The fire phoenix dives, but Hu Yanli doesn't budge. The Elephant Armor Sect's defense is the best in the world. He's sure he won't get hurt.

At the last second, I give up struggling and buckle the transformation lever. The globe in the center of the belt spins, and the meteor light ball reappears, engulfing Hu Yanli and me. The phoenix slams into the light, sparks flying.

"What?" Ma Sheng's shocked. With Yue Zhen's boost, his Phoenix Sprint should be twenty percent stronger. But he can't break through the light ball? "Brother Ma Sheng, don't give up, watch my third soul skill! Vajra Chrysanthemum Armor!"

Chrysanthemum petals surge toward the phoenix. A plant-type martial soul, yet it's not afraid of flames, and it exudes a metallic sheen.

"It's the right time to come, to integrate the soul skill: Jujia Phoenix!"

In seconds, Ma Sheng's phoenix is covered in chrysanthemum petal armor.

Hu Yanli and I feel a heavy pressure. Hu Yanli curses and releases me. Not only because I can't dodge but also because he knows he'll get hurt if he gets hit by this move.

Without Hu Yanli, I raise my hand, trying to push the light ball back. But the ball dims, and the Raging Fire Phoenix's pressure is mounting. I don't panic, though. I'm a little excited.

"The fusion soul skill's a little worse than a martial soul fusion skill, but it's enough for me to test this out."

I remove the Meteor Switch. A device with a yellow wheel appears in my hand. I insert it where the Meteor Switch used to be.

[Meteor Storm]

"Huh?" Hu Liena notices, but she doesn't know what it means.

Meteor Storm Switch. After helping Liu Erlong become an Eyecon, my Rider Points reached the value of exchanging it, and I exchanged it for Kamen Rider Meteor's final form item without a word.

I press the Meteor Storm's switch.

[Meteor ON! Ready?]

I turn the golden roulette. The meteorite photosphere vanishes. A blue and gold whirlwind rises from the roulette, forcefully pushing back the Raging Fire Phoenix.

"Ma Sheng, get out of the way!"

Hu Liena yells, but Ma Sheng doesn't move.

"It's just a whirlwind. Doesn't he know the wind only makes my flame stronger?"

"Is that so? You need your flame to be high enough. My storm isn't just a storm. It's a meteor storm born under the call of fate! Don't get blown away!"

The whirlwind vanishes. I've changed. The armor has gone from black stars to blue stars. Both shoulders have gold shoulder armor. The head armor has changed from a light blue meteor to a golden meteor mask with double meteor tails. And I hold a long blue and silver staff.

"Think you can break my chrysanthemum armor with a stick? Dream on! Brother Ma Sheng, he is about to be destroyed!"

"You don't need to tell me I will do the same, Raging Fire Phoenix Fire Jia Yu!"

The chrysanthemum armor pieces separate, turning into burning armor pieces, densely distributed in the air.

"I'll see how you hide! Come on!"
