The atmosphere in the sky was extremely heavy.
After their initial shock, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo's expressions became more serious than ever before.
They exchanged a glance, both seeing a resolute determination in each other's eyes.
Today's battle concerns the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's millennium of glory; there is no turning back!
Gu Rong, the Bone Douluo, stepped forward first, his joints crackling loudly as he spoke in a deep voice.
"Gu Rong, a level 95 defensive-type battle spirit master, with the martial spirit Bone Dragon, please enlighten me."
Sword Douluo Chen Xin followed closely behind, pointing his Seven Kill Sword at Tang Qing, his voice clear and melodious like the sound of a sword.
"Sword Dao Chenxin, a level 96 offensive-type Soul Master, with the Seven Kill Sword as his Martial Soul, please enlighten me."
Their voices echoed before the mountain gate.
Tang Qing stood with his hands behind his back, his expression calm, and spoke softly.
"Tang Qing, a life-type soul master, with the Blue Silver Emperor martial soul."
Life system?
Upon hearing these three words, Ning Rongrong, who was watching the battle below, was stunned once again.
What is that?
She was well-read and had listened to her father explain the knowledge of martial spirits countless times.
But she had never heard of Blue Silver Grass being classified as a "life-type" martial soul.
According to the master's theory, isn't the best development direction for the Blue Silver Grass martial soul the control type?
What the heck is this "Life System"?
Just as Ning Rongrong was filled with doubt, the battle in the sky had already begun!
"roar!"
Gu Rong, the Bone Douluo, let out a low shout and made the first move.
His fourth spirit ring suddenly lit up, radiating a brilliant purple light!
On the ground, countless white bone spikes burst forth, instantly forming a huge cage-like domain that completely blocked Tang Qing's escape route.
"Fourth Soul Skill, Bone Prison!"
Having done all this, Bone Douluo crossed his arms in front of his chest, a thick layer of bone armor covering his entire body, assuming his strongest defensive stance.
His task is to limit and defend!
The main attacker is Sword Douluo!
Chen Xin stared intently at Tang Qing.
"Blue Silver King, I'm about to make my move."
He offered a reminder: this is a sign of respect from the strong.
Tang Qing's lips curled up slightly.
"Bring it on."
Having received a response, Chenxin no longer hesitated.
"My body is like a sword!"
Two yellow, two purple, and five black spirit rings rose up beneath his feet, dazzling and radiant!
The third spirit ring beneath his feet flashed with purple light!
"Third Soul Skill, Sword Wings Soaring!"
Behind him, sharp sword energy instantly condensed into a pair of enormous wings.
With a sudden burst of energy, he transformed into a streak of light, his speed soaring to its limit as he hurtled toward Tang Qing!
The moment he got close, his second spirit ring lit up!
"Second Soul Skill: Sword Rules the World!"
This is a single-target burst skill!
A cold glint suddenly appeared at the tip of the Seven Kill Sword, condensing into a thin, yet incomparably sharp sword light that pierced straight at Tang Qing's brow!
Faced with this lightning-fast and extremely fierce attack.
Tang Qing simply raised her hand.
A black spirit ring quietly rose from beneath his feet.
That was his third spirit ring.
"Third Soul Skill, Life Barrier."
A verdant shield of light appeared out of thin air in front of him, its surface teeming with life and vitality.
"bite!"
A crisp sound!
The sword light, powerful enough to pierce mountains, struck the barrier of life, but vanished instantly, like a mud ox entering the sea.
The attack was easily deflected.
Ning Rongrong below, her pupils contracted violently once again!
What she saw was not that the attack was blocked, but...
The third spirit ring!
That was a black, ten-thousand-year-old soul ring!
The third spirit ring... is it ten thousand years?
This...this completely violates the ironclad rules of the Soul Master world!
How could a human body withstand the energy impact of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast at the third ring level?
What kind of monsters make up this person's spirit ring configuration?
...
Above the sky.
Despite his failed attack, Sword Douluo Chen Xin remained expressionless, though the seriousness in his eyes deepened.
He knew that ordinary tests were no longer of any use to the man before him.
He took a deep breath, and at that moment, his aura began to surge wildly!
"A thirteen-stringed melody in a cup, half a lifetime of trials and tribulations, all returned to a single sword!"
He chanted softly, and the Seven Kill Sword in his hand burst forth with an unprecedentedly dazzling light!
The seventh spirit ring, that dazzling black color, lit up!
"Seventh Soul Skill, Seven Killing True Form!"
Buzz—!
His entire being seemed to merge with the Seven Kill Sword in his hand, transforming into a gigantic sword phantom that reached the heavens and the earth, its sword intent soaring into the sky and tearing through the clouds!
Ning Rongrong below exclaimed in surprise.
"Grandpa Sword... actually used his Martial Soul True Body directly!"
Her small face was filled with tension, which meant that Sword Douluo had regarded Tang Qing as a formidable opponent he had never faced before, and that he would use his strongest move from the start!
However, that's not all!
As he unleashed his Martial Soul True Form, Sword Douluo's sixth spirit ring also lit up with a black light!
"Sixth Soul Skill, Ten Thousand Swords Return to One!"
Around that colossal sword, thousands upon thousands of energy swords appeared out of thin air, densely packed, their tips all pointing at Tang Qing in the sky!
This is a martial soul true form that integrates offense and defense, combined with a group attack soul skill that can destroy the world!
Two deadly attacks were launched at the same time towards Tang Qing!
Ning Rongrong's heart jumped into her throat.
She saw that, faced with this earth-shattering attack, Tang Qing actually... stood still, completely motionless!
Why didn't he dodge?
Why not use your soul skill for defense?
What is he going to do?
The next moment, Sword Douluo Chen Xin waved his arm.
"go!"
A multitude of swords were unleashed!
Those thousands upon thousands of energy swords, with a shrill whistling sound that tore through the air, shot towards Tang Qing from all directions like the most violent rain of swords!
Puff! Puff! Puff!
There was no violent collision as I had imagined.
Countless energy swords pierced through Tang Qing's body without any resistance, turning him into a sieve.
The black figure swayed precariously in mid-air.
This scene caused the disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to erupt in a suppressed cheer.
A hint of joy flashed across Ning Rongrong's face.
Did we win?
However, a bizarre scene unfolded.
Above the sky, Tang Qing slowly lowered his head and glanced at the transparent holes in his body.
His face showed no sign of pain, but rather a hint of...amusement?
Immediately afterwards.
Those gruesome wounds that pierced his body were healing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Flesh and blood regenerated, skin healed!
In the blink of an eye, all the wounds on his body disappeared, and he was completely healed!
Not a single drop of blood was shed.
At that moment, time seemed to stand still.
At the mountain gate, everyone's expressions froze on their faces.
The cheers abruptly ceased.
The glimmer of hope on Ning Fengzhi's face instantly turned into horror.
What?
The color drained from Ning Fengzhi's face in an instant, and he uttered four words.
"Life... an endless cycle of life?"
