Looking at Dugu Bo's slightly disheveled but mostly excited expression, Tang Chuan's eyes flashed with a smile. He said, "Old Poison, don't rush to sigh. Next, try my 100,000-year Soul Bone skill."
"Again?" Dugu Bo patted his sleeves. Although he was caught off guard by the Instant Kill Eight Stage Drop just now, his Titled Douluo pride and curiosity made him agree immediately:
"Alright! Let this old man see what surprises your 100,000-year Soul Bone brings!"
A moment later, the two once again distanced themselves, standing dozens of meters apart.
"This time, you can use your Martial Soul True Body and attack me with all your might." Tang Chuan slightly raised his right arm, his expression calm, and his tone carrying an incredible confidence.
"What?" Hearing this, Dugu Bo was stunned, the playful expression on his face instantly receding, replaced by a look of solemnity. He said,
"Kid, are you sure? Under Martial Soul True Body, my attack power and speed are far from what they were just now. Once hit head-on, it's enough to make you..."
"I'm sure. Just attack. Don't worry, since I dare to let you use all your strength, I naturally have a way to deal with it." Tang Chuan interrupted him, his gaze calm but firm.
Seeing Tang Chuan's insistence, Dugu Bo no longer hesitated. A green light flashed in his eyes, and the seventh spirit ring on his body, which was black, lit up. He shouted in a low voice,
"Good! Then be careful!"
"Seventh Soul Skill, Jade Phosphorous Dragon True Body!"
Immediately, majestic dark green Soul Power erupted like a volcano.
In an instant, behind Dugu Bo, a gigantic flood Dragon figure rapidly condensed into shape. Its body was permeated with heart-palpitating poisonous mist and pressure, and its scales shimmered with a metallic luster.
As Dugu Bo's thoughts moved, the Jade Phosphorous Dragon let out a roaring Dragon cry, then, carrying destructive power, it pounced towards Tang Chuan like a green lightning bolt!
Its speed was so fast that it only left an afterimage in the air!
Facing this terrifying blow, which was enough to instantly collapse any Spirit Saint or even ordinary Spirit Douluo, Tang Chuan did not dodge or evade. It wasn't until the moment the giant Dragon head was about to reach him that his right arm lit up with a deep red light!
"100,000-year Soul Bone Skill — Teleportation!"
There was no earth-shattering explosion, nor was there a head-on impact.
Just a split second before the Jade Phosphorous Dragon's terrifyingly powerful fangs were about to close, Tang Chuan's figure, like a ghost, vanished from his original spot without any warning.
The next moment, he appeared in an open space five meters to his left, his posture still calm.
Having missed its target, the Jade Phosphorous Dragon reacted extremely quickly. It swiftly twisted its body, its Dragon tail sweeping across with a piercing shriek that tore through the air!
The red light on his right arm flashed again! Tang Chuan's body blurred and vanished again before the attack reached him, then reappeared on a huge rock above to his right.
Boom! The Dragon tail swept past, and a deep pit was blasted into the ground where he had originally stood.
The Jade Phosphorous Dragon was clearly enraged by these continuous evasions. In the next second, its massive body erupted with even greater speed than before, spewing out a dense poisonous mist from its mouth, while simultaneously biting and ramming, its attacks, like a violent storm, enveloped Tang Chuan.
However, Tang Chuan's figure flickered continuously across the field, each time appearing in the most incredible, yet perfectly opportune, position, perfectly avoiding all attacks.
His movements were fluid and graceful, as if he wasn't in a life-and-death struggle, but performing an elegant dance. That Soul Bone skill seemed to not only allow him to Teleport instantly, but also endowed him with a profound predictive ability, always finding the only path to survival before an attack landed.
In just a few breaths.
The Jade Phosphorous Dragon's dozens of powerful attacks, each with infinite power, failed to even touch Tang Chuan's clothes!
Seeing Tang Chuan, like a ghost, easily dodge his Martial Soul True Body's furious attacks, Dugu Bo was slightly startled, a hint of understanding and cunning flashing in his eyes.
"It's a Teleportation skill? No wonder he's so confident."
With a cold snort, Dugu Bo's face revealed the sneer of an experienced expert, saying, "However, kid, you're still too young! Teleportation, though marvelous, is not without a solution!"
The next second, he casually waved his palm, and majestic Soul Power was drawn along with it.
"If I seal off all the space around your body with poison, and then continuously compress your range of movement, how will you Teleport then!"
As soon as his words fell, a thick, impenetrable green poisonous mist emerged out of thin air, then, as if alive, rapidly surrounded Tang Chuan's position!
This poisonous mist not only contained a potent venom that even Spirit Douluo feared, but also carried a viscous hindering force, as if it could solidify the surrounding space.
In the blink of an eye, the poisonous mist formed a continuously shrinking encirclement, trapping Tang Chuan firmly in the center, and the space available for him to move around drastically decreased.
Looking at Tang Chuan, who was trapped in the center of the poisonous mist, seemingly with nowhere to escape, Dugu Bo's lips curved into a triumphant smile, saying,
"Now, how do you plan to hide?"
After speaking, with a thought, he gently clenched his hand forward, and the massive Jade Phosphorous Dragon True Body once again let out a low roar. Its gigantic body, like it was stirring up wind and clouds, charged towards Tang Chuan in the center of the poisonous mist with an Aura that crushed everything!
Although its Dragon mouth was wide open and its poisonous fangs were menacing, it held back its strength at the last moment, only intending to capture.
However, facing this deadly situation.
Tang Chuan's reaction completely exceeded Dugu Bo's expectations.
Not only did he not attempt to Teleport towards the seemingly only, not yet fully closed, gap at the top, but instead, he pushed off the ground, moving forward instead of retreating, actively charging towards the terrifying and ferocious Jade Phosphorous Dragon True Body!
"Kid, are you crazy?!" Looking at Tang Chuan charging towards his Martial Soul True Body, Dugu Bo's pupils contracted, and he subconsciously tried to forcibly retract his attack.
But just as the two were about to collide with earth-shattering force.
"Paragon Golden Body!"
In an instant, a low and firm shout erupted from Tang Chuan's mouth.
Buzz—!
Following the fall of this low shout, a dazzling golden light, as if condensed from the purest energy, suddenly burst forth from his body!
In an instant, Tang Chuan transformed into a golden figure, entirely cast from gold. The golden light emanating from his body even forced back the surrounding Jade Phosphorous poisonous mist a few steps!
The next second.
Boom!!!
The golden figure and the Jade Phosphorous Dragon True Body collided head-on without any fancy moves!
There was no imagined breaking of bones and tearing of muscles, nor the sizzling sound of poisonous Qi corroding flesh.
There was only a dull thud, like a huge bell being struck!
In Dugu Bo's disbelieving gaze, his infinitely powerful Martial Soul True Body was actually stopped by that small golden figure!
The immense impact caused the Jade Phosphorous Dragon True Body's phantom to violently fluctuate and dissipate, while Tang Chuan, who had transformed into a golden figure, remained motionless and stable as a mountain! The layer of golden light on his body circulated endlessly, perfectly shielding him within it, completely unharmed!
The golden light persisted for several seconds before slowly dissipating.
At this moment, Dugu Bo had already retracted his Martial Soul True Body.
He stood in place, looking at Tang Chuan not far away, speechless for a long time. The sneer on his face had long been replaced by extreme shock, and he exclaimed,
"Paragon Golden Body!!!"
"Good kid, I'm truly impressed by your life-saving abilities!"
At this point, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, his tone filled with undisguised amazement and a hint of envy: "Teleportation, Paragon Golden Body, nothingness, plus that unpredictable Soul counterattack. Kid, your gains this time are truly... too immense."
"To say it's a complete transformation, a step to heaven, wouldn't be an exaggeration!"
"I feel like I can already see a giant star, one that will illuminate the entire Spirit Master's world, rising rapidly with this Continental Advanced Spirit Master Elite Tournament."
"Tianxing Academy's future will be filled with infinite possibilities because of your existence."
...Meanwhile, on a hidden clearing on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
The bonfire crackled, but the dancing flames could not dispel the bone-chilling atmosphere.
"What?!" Tang San suddenly sprang up from the ground, his body trembling violently from extreme shock and anger. He stared intently at Tang Hao, who sat opposite him, his voice hoarse as he urgently cried, "Dad! What did you say?! You... you already knew Xiao Wu was a Soul Beast?!"
"Then... then why didn't you tell me earlier?! Why didn't you stop her from going to Spirit City?! If you had told me, if I had known, I would have fought to the death to prevent her from going!"
