Chapter 105: Battle Against Demon Suppressing Douluo
Slowly opening his eyes, Yun Yuan felt that his current state was exceptionally good. Not only had his spiritual power increased, but the quality of the soul power within his body had also improved.
"Grandmaster, honored grand-uncles, thank you for protecting me."
After standing up, Yun Yuan slightly nodded toward the seven worship elders of Douluo Hall to show his respect.
"Xiao Yuan, I heard from the Grand Worship that before condensing your first soul core, your strength had already reached the Super Douluo level. A month ago, you even made a five-year agreement with Tang Chen."
"Although I don't like Tang Chen, I must admit that his strength is absolutely among the strongest soul masters on the continent, second only to the Grand Worship."
"How about sparring with me? Let us see your limits."
Among the seven worship elders, the Seventh Worship, Demon Suppressing Douluo, stood up and suggested this to Yun Yuan, deep curiosity flickering in his eyes.
They had only learned of Yun Yuan's strength after he made that five-year agreement with Tang Chen.
When they first found out, they even felt the urge to cancel the agreement, believing that Yun Yuan would not be Tang Chen's opponent in five years.
Yun Yuan was not only the unparalleled genius of Spirit Hall but also a child they regarded as their own grandson. How could they bear to watch him go to his death?
Until they heard Qian Daoliu's explanation, which left them utterly shocked, Yun Yuan had personally hunted the soul beast for his sixth soul ring.
That soul beast had reached the level of a super soul beast, its cultivation close to one hundred thousand years, and its strength was already infinitely close to that of a Super Douluo.
Unexpectedly, Yun Yuan had only suffered minor injuries before killing it. Truly, a hero emerges from youth.
Now, Yun Yuan not only possessed his sixth soul ring but had also condensed his first soul core. His strength had greatly improved, and reaching the Super Douluo level was already a certainty. The only question was what tier he was at.
Rank ninety-five? Or ninety-six? As for ninety-seven, they felt the probability was low.
Hearing the invitation from Seventh Worship, Yun Yuan glanced at the curiosity in the eyes of the others.
He nodded.
"Seventh Grand-Uncle, then let us spar. It just so happens I also want to see whether I can contend against you."
Yun Yuan was still somewhat unclear about his current combat power, but he did not believe he could defeat Seventh Worship, Demon Suppressing Douluo.
If Demon Suppressing Douluo had not condensed his first soul core, Yun Yuan believed he might still have a chance. But Demon Suppressing Douluo had already condensed it, and his soul power had reached rank ninety-seven.
Even that Sword Douluo, Chen Jun, despite his astonishing sword comprehension, was no match for Demon Suppressing Douluo at the same level, who had already condensed his first soul core.
After the two reached an agreement, Qian Daoliu stood up and slowly spoke:
"In that case, Xiao Yuan, I will serve as the referee for this match."
"Xiang Mo, Xiao Yuan, you may fight freely. With me here, nothing will go wrong."
After Qian Daoliu finished speaking, the other worship elders also stood, eager to witness this battle spanning two generations.
In the next moment, Yun Yuan and Demon Suppressing Douluo vanished from their spots. Demon Suppressing Douluo stepped onto the void and rose into the sky above Douluo Hall.
As for Yun Yuan, since his realm had not yet reached the Titled Douluo level, he could not fly. He could only release his external soul bone, Wind Thunder Wings, and use Wind Thunder Movement to appear opposite Demon Suppressing Douluo.
At the same time, Qian Daoliu and the other five worship elders appeared a thousand meters away from the two.
"Seventh grand-uncle, excuse me."
Yun Yuan cupped his hands toward Demon Suppressing Douluo, then his expression turned serious. Six soul rings—yellow, purple, black, black, black, and black—rose from his body.
He raised his hand and grasped the void. An Atlas Spear, entirely milky white with a spear tip emitting a sharp, destructive cold light, appeared in his hand. The spear was wrapped in an unrivaled spear intent, pointing straight at the Demon Suppressing Douluo.
Seeing this, Demon Suppressing Douluo shouted, "Xiao Yuan, later on, use whatever powerful techniques you have against me. Don't hold back. I can handle it."
As soon as his voice fell, a terrifying soul power far exceeding Yun Yuan's erupted. Crimson soul power surged like boiling magma.
Nine soul rings—two yellow, two purple, and five black—rose around Demon Suppressing Douluo, and a heavy, violent pressure swept in all directions.
Immediately after, a Coiling Dragon Staff engraved with sacred golden dragon patterns and emitting a terrifying aura appeared in his hand. Dragon shadows coiled around it, and an overbearing pressure rushed forward.
In the next second, the battle exploded!
Yun Yuan struck first. Except for his fifth soul ring, the rest all shone with dazzling light.
Wind Thunder Flash, Endless War Spear, True Damage, Ultimate Sublimation, and Weight as Light—these five soul skill effects acted simultaneously on Yun Yuan and the Atlas Spear.
His sixth soul skill altered the weight of the Atlas Spear, directly increasing it to ten thousand jin.
Yet in Yun Yuan's hands, it felt no different at all. Moreover, the effect of this sixth soul skill could grow stronger as his soul power level increased.
If Yun Yuan reached the Titled Douluo level, the weight of this spear might not be inferior to the Sea God's super divine weapon, the Sea God's Trident.
With the amplification of his soul skills, Yun Yuan swung the Atlas Spear, carrying a sharp spear light that pierced the sky along with immense gravity, thrusting violently toward Demon Suppressing Douluo.
Spear shadows overlapped endlessly, each strike carrying the terrifying power to destroy all things. The howling spear wind tore through the air, and a sky-covering offensive engulfed Demon Suppressing Douluo.
His figure was agile, his spear techniques fierce. At times he thrust straight; at times he swept horizontally. Spear intent surged freely, perfectly blending dominance and agility. Soul power surged around him, every move executed with full strength.
Facing Yun Yuan's storm-like attacks and the ten thousand-jun Atlas Spear, Demon Suppressing Douluo did not dare show the slightest carelessness.
He madly circulated his soul power, swinging the Coiling Dragon Staff. Each staff strike contained unmatched might.
The Coiling Dragon Staff and Atlas Spear clashed repeatedly. The sound of metal collisions echoed across the sky. Deafening roars rang out as violent soul power shockwaves spread in all directions, even causing space to tremble slightly.
As the battle continued, Yun Yuan's battle intent reached its peak, and Demon Suppressing Douluo was directly forced back.
"Xiao Yuan, not bad. You actually forced your grand-uncle back. From this exchange, I can tell you for certain."
"Xiao Yuan, your combat power has definitely reached the level of a rank ninety-six Super Douluo. As for whether you can reach rank ninety-seven, let me see."
With that, Demon Suppressing Douluo's gaze sharpened. His seventh and eighth soul rings emitted dazzling black light.
"Seventh Soul Skill: Coiling Dragon True Body!"
"Eighth Soul Skill: Demon Suppressing Coiling Dragon Ring!"
As his two low shouts fell, a nearly hundred-meter-long Coiling Dragon True Body, radiating terrifying crimson soul power, appeared.
Then, from the Coiling Dragon True Body, three blood-red golden dragon phantoms separated, coiling and intertwining before condensing into a hollow giant ring a hundred meters in diameter in front of him. This was his eighth soul skill: Demon Suppressing Coiling Dragon Ring.
