Radiation Strikes? Yu Xiaogang's Shameless Boast!

At the Sky Screen's announcement, viewers across the Douluo Continent were left bewildered and uncertain.

A shell was going to descend into reality?

The force that could mutate Martial Souls would linger for a week?

That was Martial Soul Mutation! A positive mutation would boost one's strength by at least fifty percent, if not more.

As for the consequences of failure, most Soul Masters without talent had already seen their cultivation stagnate. If they didn't gamble now, when would they?

But thinking was one thing.

For the moment, no expert was willing to step forward and withstand the shell.

At Shrek Academy.

Yu Xiaogang, who had just stepped in poop, cried out in surprise, "What? They're actually going to drop an identical shell on the continent? And the Radiation will remain for a week?"

"Hahaha! Had heaven not given birth to me, Yu Xiaogang, the path of Soul Masters would be an endless night!"

"The Sky Screen has opened a back door especially for me! Radiation can mutate my Martial Soul, and based on my decades of understanding and research into Martial Souls, mutations usually come in two kinds: positive and negative,

my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon has the bloodline of the Radiant Sacred Dragon, and now it's mutated all the way down to the soles of my feet. Another mutation is bound to be positive!"

"After I'm exposed to Radiation, I'll definitely undergo a positive mutation and return to being a Radiant Sacred Dragon. When that happens, perhaps I, Yu Xiaogang, will be the future Radiant Sacred Dragon Limit Douluo!"

As he spoke, Yu Xiaogang couldn't help imagining himself mutated by Radiation, possessing the Light Sacred Dragon Martial Soul.

With his theories and talent, plus Shrek's current resources, he was bound to become a Titled Douluo someday. He had even thought of his title: Holy Dragon Douluo!

With that thought,

he used his mind to send a bullet comment directly onto the Sky Screen.

[Yu Xiaogang]: "I, Yu Xiaogang, am willing to be the first to try receiving the power of Radiation!"

Ning Fengzhi: "Grandmaster, what courage. But the key question is, who's going to withstand the blast? Judging by its power on the Sky Screen, it would take an expert of at least Super Douluo rank, and one of the best among them at that, to avoid serious injury,

but whoever it is, my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will provide them with amplification."

Qian Daoliu: "I can't act."

Spirit City.

The Pope's Palace.

Bibi Dong sneered, "A vase that's nice to look at but useless. What good are you?"

This so-called curse named Radiation was clearly a double-edged sword. Used well, it could weaken one's enemies; used poorly, it would instead strengthen them, and the loss would outweigh the gain.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Sword Douluo Chen Xin's eyes shone as he spoke decisively. "I'll do it. Isn't it just a shell?"

Ning Fengzhi exclaimed, "Uncle Jian, you! After Di Tian blocked the shell, his body immediately mutated. His strength increased, but an arm grew out of nowhere. That kind of price..."

Chen Xin smiled calmly. "Fengzhi, my lifelong goal has been to pursue the pinnacle of the sword path. It wasn't until I met you and Rongrong that I gained a new goal,

now an opportunity to grow stronger lies right before me. How could I miss it? Besides, we sword cultivators should press ever forward! Fear nothing."

Seeing how resolute he was, Ning Fengzhi stopped trying to dissuade him. He knew full well.

Sword cultivators were stubborn. Once they made up their minds, no one could change them.

"I'll give you all the amplification I can!"

Chen Xin: "Hahaha, good!"

[Sword Douluo Chen Xin]: "I volunteer to withstand the shell."

As soon as he said it, a white light enveloped Chen Xin, and he vanished from where he stood. When he reappeared, he was atop a towering mountain.

At the same time,

his back appeared on the Sky Screen: a solitary, aloof figure standing face-to-face with a black shell falling from the sky.

Chen Xin was slightly startled, apparently not expecting to be pulled here. That meant he would have to do without the amplification.

The Soul Masters watching the Sky Screen were awed by Chen Xin's courage.

"Sword Douluo's determination to press ever forward is truly admirable. As expected of Sword Douluo, the man hailed as the continent's number one sword cultivator!"

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is truly blessed to have a man like him holding the fort."

"Spirit Hall's Titled Douluo are still watching and hesitating, yet Sword Douluo stepped forward without a moment's hesitation. Now that's a man who takes responsibility!"

These Soul Masters admired him from the bottom of their hearts.

After all, even the so-called seven-hundred-thousand-year-old Ferocious Beast Di Tian on the Sky Screen had suffered serious injuries blocking it, and had become a freak with an extra arm.

It was hard to imagine

what it would look like for a person to undergo such a change.

To stand up in the face of such uncertainty was no easy feat.

Clang!!!

A clear sword cry rang out as the Seven Kill Sword left its sheath, its keen edge fully revealed.

"Seventh Soul Skill, Seven Kill Avatar!"

"Ninth Soul Skill, God-Demon Dual Slash!"

Sword Douluo unleashed the two moves in succession, his bearing reaching its peak. With his Soul Skill greatly strengthened under his Martial Soul Avatar, two massive swords swept toward the black shell hurtling down from the sky.

The Star Dou Great Forest.

Di Tian looked up at the sky, his gaze grave.

As the one who had suffered the shell's attack on the Sky Screen, he knew its power better than anyone.

It was no exaggeration to say that a direct hit would injure him. If there were enough of them, he would even risk dying.

"This human's sword path is impressive, but his body is a little weak. When it comes to withstanding this kind of wide-area, indiscriminate attack, he's still somewhat lacking."

Di Tian offered the casual assessment. He had only recently awakened and returned, and was still in the process of learning about the current strength of the human world.

"But... to cultivate the sword path to this level in less than a hundred years. My lord, could taking human form really be the only path left for us in the future?"

Shrek Academy.

Ning Rongrong looked at the Sky Screen with worry in her eyes. "Uncle Jian, please don't let anything happen to you."

"Honestly, Father could have at least tried to talk Uncle Jian out of it. He's already so old, yet he's still so reckless."

On the Sky Screen.

Chen Xin, standing atop the mountain, pulled back and retreated swiftly. Just now, he had felt an extreme heat emanating from the heart of the explosion—a temperature his Martial Soul and body could never withstand.

He could only dodge; he absolutely could not take it head-on.

Hot winds spread rapidly along with a tremendous shock wave, followed by dense Radiation.

"Hiss! Ah!!!"

Chen Xin clenched his teeth, but still couldn't help crying out in pain.

He felt the flesh all over his body being corroded. His body began to heat up, and blood involuntarily flowed from his nose.

"Just as I thought!" Di Tian spoke on the Sky Screen. "Compared to Soul Beasts, human bodies are still too weak. They simply can't withstand this so-called Radiation."

Before long,

the Sky Screen's voice rang out.

"Sword Douluo Chen Xin has successfully withstood the shell attack. Radiation will remain for one week."

The instant the voice fell,

Sword Douluo Chen Xin's figure reappeared atop the mountain. He was in a sorry state, half his clothes stained red with blood and his hair disheveled, looking like a beggar.

Many Titled Douluo-level Soul Masters who had witnessed the whole thing secretly congratulated themselves.

Good thing I didn't try to show off and withstand it. Otherwise, wouldn't I have died on the spot, my life's path extinguished?

At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect,

Ning Fengzhi wished he could rush into the Sky Screen to see how Chen Xin was doing. He beat his chest and stamped his feet:

"Uncle Jian!!"

"If I'd known it was this powerful, I would have stopped Uncle Jian even if it cost me my life! It's all my fault!"

"It's all my fault!"

Bone Douluo shook his head. "Sect Master, calm down. This was his own choice. It's not your fault."

"That's right!" Ning Fengzhi suddenly remembered something:

"How is Uncle Jian's body? Has he undergone any mutations?"
