Chapter 341: Ning Bei vs Qian Daoliu
Qian Daoliu had been watching Ning Bei from a distance, waiting for his entry. Ning Bei, not hesitating, quickly appeared in front of the old man.
"Grandpa Qian, please give me some pointers."
The old man smiled and said, "I won't dare to give you pointers. I will give it my all, otherwise, I might not be able to match you."
Both Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen had seen Poseidon's power firsthand. Poseidon, even with the Sea God's ninth soul skill, could take on two opponents at once. But even with the part of the Sea God's power, Poseidon couldn't do anything to the young man in front of him. Qian Daoliu wouldn't be foolish enough to think that he could easily deal with Ning Bei.
This was also where the old man had misjudged. Poseidon's ninth soul skill was indeed powerful, and Ning Bei had only survived it by taking the blows rather than breaking it head-on.
Hearing the old man's words, Ning Bei's eyes lit up with excitement. This was one of the few opponents in the world that could make him fight seriously. He was looking forward to this full-on battle.
"Grandpa Qian, there's no need to hold back. Otherwise, the God Test might rule that I cheated. If I can't defeat you, it will just be because my strength isn't enough."
"Alright then, let's have a proper match. Come on!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qian Daoliu activated his soul skill, rising into the air. The overwhelming aura of the Sky Dominating Invincibility was unmistakable.
Ning Bei showed no signs of hesitation either. The Serpent Winged Spirit quietly appeared behind him, and he rose into the air to face Qian Daoliu.
"External Soul Bone, kid, you're quite lucky."
"Just lucky, just lucky!"
Ning Bei knew how to be humble, especially in front of his elders. There was no need to be arrogant. Why not just wait quietly and deal with the old man later?
"Let's begin."
With both of them in position, eight black and one red soul rings appeared around Qian Daoliu, one after another. The perfect soul ring configuration made the surrounding elders envious. However, compared to Ning Bei, Qian Daoliu's soul rings still seemed lacking.
Ning Bei's eyes narrowed slightly, and his Ice Empress Martial Soul quietly appeared behind him. Three orange and six red soul rings followed, making the entire world seem dimmer. The moist air gradually became dry, and countless ice shards began to fall to the ground.
The elders who had witnessed Ning Bei's first five soul rings were still shocked. Nine soul rings above 100,000 years were too overwhelming. Xue Renxue, watching her two most important men face off, felt pride fill her heart.
"Permafrost Domain, activate."
As Ning Bei's voice fell, a faint blue light spread from under the Ice Empress's feet, instantly covering the entire mountain range, freezing Qian Daoliu in midair for a moment.
Feeling the overwhelming power of the Permafrost Domain for the first time, Qian Daoliu nodded to himself. His soul power, his senses, even his breathing, all slowed down. It was clear that Ning Bei's control over the cold had reached its peak, and this further proved that Ning Bei's power as a Limit Douluo was real.
Seeing that Ning Bei intended to get serious, Qian Daoliu didn't hold back either. With the pressure of the cold air around him, he quietly activated the Angel Domain.
"Good, so you can suppress my domain like this."
Qian Daoliu was genuinely surprised. Normally, his domain could cover several kilometers, but under Ning Bei's domain, the Angel Domain was compressed to a mere hundred meters and its effectiveness greatly reduced.
The warm light of the Angel Domain failed to dispel the surrounding cold and even seemed to be weakening.
Realizing he couldn't afford to wait any longer, Qian Daoliu stopped caring about his dignity as an elder and decided to take the offensive, using a soul skill to gain the upper hand.
"Second Soul Skill: Holy Light Illuminates."
Behind him, Qian Daoliu's martial soul transformed into an angelic figure nearly 1,000 meters tall, holding a sun that illuminated the entire valley with scorching light.
The Holy Light began to melt the surrounding ice and snow. Ning Bei observed this and thought to himself that the Divine attribute of the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul wasn't just meant to counter evil souls. The intense heat was the best way to weaken the cold surrounding him.
Perhaps because their initial clash had caused such a disturbance, a graceful figure quietly appeared by the side of the elders, the Pope's scepter planted in the ground as she watched the two figures in the sky with a complicated expression.
"Your Majesty, the Pope, seems to have a lot of free time. The Great Elder is fighting, and yet you have to intervene?"
The elders had no great love for Bibi Dong, as she had killed their comrade, Qian Xunji, whom they had watched grow up. Had it not been for Qian Renxue's face, they might have already torn her apart. So, their words had a hint of sharpness.
Luckily, Bibi Dong seemed to be completely absorbed in watching the battle in the sky and didn't seem interested in responding to the elders. Otherwise, another silent war would have broken out.
After being left with nothing to say, Golden Crocodile snorted and stopped paying attention to Bibi Dong, turning his focus back to the battle in the sky.
The moment Golden Crocodile spoke, Qian Renxue understood who had arrived. She stiffened, unable to turn her head to look at the figure, torn between feelings of resentment and longing.
Bibi Dong also seemed to sense the situation and looked over at Xue Renxue. After biting her lip in hesitation, she quietly appeared behind her, her right hand lingering in the air before gently resting on Xue Renxue's shoulder.
Xue Renxue shuddered, as though shocked by electricity. However, she made no move to remove the hand. Instead, she looked down, biting her teeth, holding back her tears.
Seeing this, Bibi Dong sighed inwardly, realizing that she had gone too far in the past. She decided to wait until the battle ended before talking things through, and refrained from making any more moves.
In midair, Ning Bei saw the blinding Holy Light and immediately kicked hard, reaching Qian Daoliu in an instant. He unleashed a lightning-fast kick toward the old man's waist.
Qian Daoliu's gaze stayed fixed on Ning Bei, but he made no attempt to defend himself. He allowed Ning Bei's attack to strike him.
Ning Bei frowned slightly. It didn't feel like he was striking something solid. Just as he suspected, the golden beam he kicked flew toward the distant mountain, creating a loud "bang" as it shattered the rocks and sent dust flying into the air.
The broken form of Qian Daoliu in midair turned into a flurry of feathers, which then reformed into his body several dozen meters in front of Ning Bei.
"Good one. Who's the real marine admiral here?"
Before Ning Bei could continue his internal mockery, the fifth black soul ring on Qian Daoliu's Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul suddenly lit up. A massive Holy Light Sword materialized in his hand.
"Fifth Soul Skill: Angel's Holy Sword, Slash!"
"Grandpa Qian, don't think you're the only one who can do this. Ice God Body!"
Facing the incoming Angel's Holy Sword, Ning Bei's eyes flickered with a faint blue light. He stood his ground, preparing to wait for the sword to arrive.
