Splash!

Water sprayed everywhere. Before Qian Renxue's stunned eyes, the silver-haired youth actually melted into a puddle of water, then gathered again in the distance, returning to human form.

Water Release Secret Technique: Water Transformation Technique!

Was this the ability of that Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring? But...

The blonde girl frowned tightly. Her Angel Assault carried a suppressive effect, yet it had no effect on the youth at all.

That soul skill could actually directly nullify her Angel Assault?

Though her thoughts were in turmoil, Qian Renxue's attacks did not slow in the slightest. After her first strike failed, brilliant golden light burst from her eyes and shot toward the youth's still incompletely restored human form!

Boom!

Water rippled in all directions. Amid rising smoke, the golden light vanished.

A thin mist spread outward, blurring everything in the arena.

Water Release: Hidden Mist Technique!

By the last lingering rays of the setting sun, the girl only saw a flash of bright reflected light.

This was...

Qian Renxue instantly became alert. She beat her wings, intending to immediately rise higher, but in that instant—

Whoosh!!

A streak of golden light shot toward her with lightning speed!

This soul skill!?

The blonde girl's expression changed drastically. She hurriedly twisted aside to dodge, while the golden light continued onward, leaving a deep mark in the training ground's rock wall.

Watching that familiar style of attack, Qian Renxue stared grimly into the mist.

Tap, tap.

Amid the sound of skirt armor colliding, a slender figure emerged from the mist. Her emotionless aqua-blue eyes fixed tightly on the blonde girl.

It was another Qian Renxue!

"Fuck, is this the ability of that Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring? Water transformation? And what the hell is this???"

Chrysanthemum Douluo nearly bit his tongue off, his eyes practically bulging out. Ghost Douluo was equally astonished.

"Something's wrong. They're exactly the same. Other than the color, there's no difference at all!"

"This is a clone with no difference whatsoever from the original body in strength!"

He spoke rapidly, staring unblinkingly at the two identical beautiful figures, his voice full of amazement.

"Exactly the same? That's so broken? Damn it, why isn't my Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring this powerful?!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo was dumbfounded.

Their noisy voices reached Bibi Dong's ears. The Pope's beautiful eyes grew brighter and brighter as her gaze flickered constantly toward the silver-haired youth standing in the mist beside a bright water mirror.

Looking at the figure before her, identical to herself in aura, appearance, and physique, Qian Renxue felt the youth's terror firsthand for the first time.

Was this a Ten-Thousand-Year soul skill?

The girl took a deep breath, her still-developing chest rising and falling. Her turbulent emotions gradually calmed, and a hint of determination flashed through her beautiful eyes.

"Then let me experience the power of this Ten-Thousand-Year soul skill."

Whoosh!

Her wings swept out, scattering countless light feathers. Qian Renxue soared into the sky, her second soul ring shining brightly as a golden beam shot toward the aqua-blue figure!

As she rose, the latter swiftly floated upward as well. Her blue eyes lit up, and an aqua-blue beam surged up to meet it.

Sizzle—!

One above and one below, one gold and one blue. The two beams continuously canceled each other out upon contact, accompanied by piercing explosions of violent energy. For a moment, they were evenly matched!

After several seconds of stalemate, the two figures separated in unspoken accord, tracing opposing arcs of two colors through the sky before crashing together fiercely once more!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Blue and gold shadows continuously collided in the air, unleashing thunderous roars. Fragments of blue-gold light shields kept drifting down from the sky, as though a magnificent light rain had begun to fall.

They separated again after another collision.

"Huff... huff."

Qian Renxue panted as she stared grimly at the aqua-blue figure hovering in the distance, unable to stop herself from gritting her silver teeth.

Not only was its strength equal to hers, even its fighting habits and experience were no different from her own!

And with that thing blocking her, she had no chance at all of attacking Su Chen.

How was she supposed to fight this?

Glistening sweat slid down the girl's snow-white skin. She clenched her fists resentfully, preparing to try once more.

The girl was not afraid of losing, but what did it mean to lose to a soul skill like this?

If it came down to it, Qian Renxue turned her gaze into the mist.

She could only go in and gamble.

As she thought this, a prickling sensation suddenly spread across her skin. She abruptly looked up and saw the aqua-blue figure move, the third purple soul ring on its body appearing and radiating brilliant light!

Wait!

Qian Renxue's pupils suddenly shrank as a terrifying possibility occurred to her.

If this copy possessed the same abilities as the original, then she was restricted by the rules and could not use her second and third soul rings—but it was completely different!

Three scorching rays of light mixed with flames came shooting toward her. Caught off guard, Qian Renxue could only dodge awkwardly. Yet from the corner of her eye, she saw the blue figure rapidly beating its wings toward her, while a fourth purple soul ring appeared and lit up as well.

"Damn it!"

The blonde girl only had time to curse before hurriedly condensing a light shield over her vital areas. The surging beam swallowed her whole.

Boom!!

Amid the violent explosion, black smoke rose from the blonde girl's body as she flew backward through the air. Her light wings had dimmed, and she had clearly suffered serious injuries.

But...

A smile appeared on Qian Renxue's soot-covered face.

"Now, you probably have no interest in pursuing a defeated opponent, right?"

Sure enough, after seeing her fly away, the blue figure stopped attacking and remained motionless.

She knew herself too well.

She had never expected that one day, she would use her own weakness against herself.

The girl smiled self-mockingly. Her aura suddenly erupted as she flipped through the air with a beat of her wings, golden light surging as she flew toward the deepest part of the mist!

During their exchanges just now, she had also confirmed the youth's location.

As long as she took him down, no matter how powerful the summon was, it would stop!

Her golden eyes flashed. The shockwave blew away the mist, revealing the youth and the bright water mirror beside him.

But...

The silver-haired youth was not as flustered as she had imagined. He still wore that calm smile.

"I don't think you understand me well enough."

Su Chen's clear voice entered Qian Renxue's ears. Before she could react, she saw his hands rapidly move. In less than a breath, they formed several different hand seals.

A powerful sense of foreboding rose in the girl's heart. She vaguely remembered that the shark had only formed a few seals. What kind of ability required something so complicated?

Roar—!!!

The deafening roar gave her the answer.

"It's not as though I have no means of fighting back."

The girl did not hear those words. She was already staring in shock.

A gigantic water dragon dozens of meters long roared into existence out of thin air. Its scales, whiskers, horns, and tail were lifelike, its winding body carrying terrifying momentum as it slammed fiercely into the charging angel!

The overwhelming impact instantly engulfed and trapped the angel. The water dragon coiled and roared around the training ground, while the golden light struggled and gradually dimmed.

Qian Renxue had already expended a great deal of strength, and she was forcibly suppressing herself from using a higher realm. Crashing head-on into that terrifying water dragon, she fainted on the spot and fell from the sky.
