Golden Crocodile Douluo: Can We Reconcile?

"Golden Crocodile Douluo!"

"Golden Crocodile Douluo actually came."

"That old geezer Golden Crocodile Douluo is here? Looks like Sect Master Tuo Ba is in for some trouble."

Quite a few people below the platform had already begun discussing it.

Anyone with a discerning eye knew of Golden Crocodile Douluo's relationship with Qian Daoliu.

Golden Crocodile Douluo had picked a fight with Tuo Ba Yun for no reason. He was obviously testing him on Spirit Hall's behalf.

Under everyone's gaze, Tuo Ba Yun raised an eyebrow and looked at the old man in golden robes below the platform.

He asked flippantly, "Who are you?"

Of course, Tuo Ba Yun knew who the man below the platform was.

Golden Crocodile Douluo, who had made a name for himself many years ago.

But the man had provoked him so brazenly.

As the master of a sect, how could Tuo Ba Yun be polite?

"Hahaha~~! Good lad, you actually don't know who I am!

"Fine, then I'll tell you. I'm nothing more than an unaffiliated Soul Master. I haven't joined any sect or faction.

"A century ago, I became a Titled Douluo with my Golden Crocodile King Martial Soul. My title is Golden Crocodile Douluo.

"Of course, you can also call me Jin Cangya! Did you hear me clearly?"

At this, Golden Crocodile Douluo raised his eyebrows, spread his arms wide, and looked at the people around him.

He continued in a booming voice, "I heard that the Black Dragon Sect's master possesses a top-tier dragon Martial Soul, and that his sect has dozens of Titled Douluo. My Martial Soul has been itching unbearably ever since. Would you care to give me a few pointers?

"Or is it that a sect as grand as yours doesn't dare face me in battle?"

Hiss~~~

Everyone present sucked in a breath of cold air after hearing Golden Crocodile Douluo's words.

Golden Crocodile Douluo hadn't given Tuo Ba Yun the slightest bit of face.

By now, the prominent figures of the Upper Three Sects and Lower Four Sects could see that Jin Cangya had definitely been acting on Spirit Hall's orders.

Otherwise, he couldn't possibly have had the confidence to provoke the Black Dragon Sect like this.

As they pondered, everyone turned their gaze toward the Black Dragon Sect's master.

Tuo Ba Yun rose into the air, no longer concealing his presence, and leaped into the center of the platform.

Without a single wasted word, he said, "Old man, you've crossed the line. You want a fight? Then fight!"

"Someone!"

Tuo Ba Yun shouted, and numerous Soul Masters of the Defense Clan appeared.

Black Dragon Mountain had been developing for years and had long since recruited the Defense Clan into its ranks.

After they appeared, it took them only three to five minutes to build an arena capable of withstanding a battle between Titled Douluo.

Meanwhile, seated above were the members of the sect on Black Dragon Mountain.

Long Aoyang, Lin Wanqing, and those who had inherited Ferocious Beast Martial Souls were all at the Titled Douluo level.

At that moment, streams of Soul Power shot out and merged into the temporary arena, helping reinforce it once more.

"Hahaha, excellent! I'll lend you a hand as well."

Tang Chen, who had been watching from the side and noticed what was happening, laughed and joined in, injecting his Soul Power to help.

He loved watching fights most of all. Now, he circulated his Soul Power rapidly, holding nothing back.

With so many people helping and the Defense Clan's efforts, the arena was finally completed...

Golden Crocodile Douluo was no longer arrogant. His face was grave.

His earlier provocation had been meant to make the youngster accept the challenge, and now he had achieved his goal.

As the challenger, he knew full well what would happen if his skills fell short.

He cupped his fists. "Golden Crocodile Douluo, Jin Cangya. Martial Soul: Golden Crocodile King. Level: 95, Power Attack System Super Douluo."

His Soul Ring Configuration appeared: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, red.

The Golden Crocodile King Martial Soul possessed Jin Cangya, and thick, bright-gold crocodile scales immediately spread across his skin as the muscles all over his body swelled.

A thick, enormous crocodile tail rose behind his legs, and his hands turned into crocodile claws. Behind him, the phantom of a golden giant crocodile dozens of zhang tall loomed toward them.

As soon as Jin Cangya finished releasing his Martial Soul, he shouted, "Seventh Soul Skill, Golden Crocodile True Body!"

The phantom of the golden giant crocodile became solid, radiating the presence of an ancient, primordial Beast Martial Soul.

Even with that boost, Jin Cangya's heart still trembled.

His Golden Crocodile Martial Soul had sensed the presence of the Martial Soul across from him: a black dragon with golden eyes!

The moment they came into contact, his Golden Crocodile Martial Soul was gripped by fear.

How was that possible?

Jin Cangya was horrified. His Golden Crocodile King was an ancient, primordial species that could live both in the sea and on land.

What exactly was the origin of this black dragon?

Yu Chenxiao, head of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan, was thinking the same thing.

He felt as though his own Martial Soul wanted to submit.

Both were top-tier dragon Beast Martial Souls. What he had previously taken for modesty in the rumors had now become reality.

The Martial Soul across from them was truly terrifying!

That supremely dense darkness, those black scales.

It radiated the presence of the absolute king of the dragon race.

Tuo Ba Yun's black eyes became dark-gold vertical pupils, while the wings of the black dragon phantom behind him beat slowly.

Every time its wings beat, the hearts of all the Beast Martial Soul Masters present skipped a beat.

It was an utterly merciless suppression of everyone present!

And Tuo Ba Yun had yet to release his Soul Rings.

"Boy, release your Soul Rings. Don't say I took advantage of you."

Jin Cangya gritted his teeth. Relying on his Martial Soul Avatar, he had finally managed to suppress the dragon's might bearing down on him.

"Are you sure?"

Tuo Ba Yun spoke indifferently.

"What do you mean, boy? Are you trying to make my victory dishonorable?"

"Heh, as you wish."

Tuo Ba Yun smiled mockingly, and his Soul Rings lit up: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, red, red, red.

Three Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings!

Boom! A muffled thunderclap exploded in everyone's minds.

They stared at the three terrifying red Soul Rings.

They were dumbfounded.

The Upper Three Sects, the Lower Four Sects, the two great empires, and Spirit Hall all stood stunned for a long time.

How could this man have three Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings?

Even Tang Hao's jaw dropped.

He had always had two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings, and had used them to show off countless times across the continent. Today, however, a junior had surpassed him.

Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings not only meant suppression through their presence, but also the advantage of having more skills!

Every Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring gave its bearer one additional Soul Skill.

And now, Tuo Ba Yun had two more Hundred Thousand Year Soul Skills than Golden Crocodile Douluo!

That wasn't even counting Soul Bone Skills.

How was he supposed to fight this battle?

Golden Crocodile Douluo's last bit of stubbornness vanished, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

He gave a bitter laugh and sent a voice transmission so faint it was almost imperceptible.

"Sect Master Tuo Ba, can we reconcile?"

That mosquito-like voice transmission reached Tuo Ba Yun's ears.

Tuo Ba Yun's face darkened.

It took my ancestors three days of searching and hunting to obtain these three Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings.

You old geezer, you think we can reconcile just because you say so?

Too late!

"Seventh Soul Skill—Golden-Eyed Black Dragon True Body!"

Despite his enormous advantage, Tuo Ba Yun gave the old geezer opposite him no chance at all, releasing his Martial Soul Avatar right from the start.

He then transformed into the hundred-meter-long true form of a Golden-Eyed Black Dragon.

His physical strength, defense, and dark space all increased by more than twofold.

His Dragon Transformation was complete, and his dragon's might was amplified once more!

The suppressive force drove straight into the Golden Crocodile King's spiritual sea of consciousness.

"Second Soul Skill—Golden Dragon Intimidation!"

The Golden-Eyed Black Dragon stared at the Golden Crocodile King before him.

This spiritual attack left even Jin Cangya, a Super Douluo, thoroughly dazed.

In that instant, the old man became somewhat disoriented and lost control of his Martial Soul.

Suddenly, a faint blue light shone from his head.

It came from a Soul Bone, a spiritual skull bone Qian Daoliu had left him.

Though the Golden Crocodile King was an ancient, primordial beast with top-tier abilities in both sea and land,

its own weaknesses were even more apparent: it feared three types of tactics—rapid depletion, spatial kiting, and spiritual attacks.

Qian Daoliu had done everything he could to help him make up for those weaknesses.

At that moment, if not for the skull bone, Jin Cangya's life would have been in danger.

Whoosh!

Jin Cangya no longer dared to be careless.

First Soul Skill, Golden Scale Armor!

The crocodile scales covering his body gained another layer of golden light.

This Soul Skill could greatly increase his defense for a short time.

The moment he released the Soul Skill, Tuo Ba Yun's attack came.

The black dragon spat purple Black Dragon Flame from his mouth, and the tempering fire of the ultimate darkness attribute descended.

Even with his defensive Soul Skill active, Jin Cangya still didn't dare take it head-on,

He dodged most of the black-tinged purple dragon flame before countering it.

"Smack!~"

The Golden Crocodile King's tail slammed down with force. He had only just neutralized the attack when a piercing pain shot through the base of his tail.

It was the corrosive power of darkness!
