The smile at the corners of Bai Wanwan's lips grew increasingly gentle as her azure-blue eyes met Yu Yuanzhen's. "Then I'll have to trouble Clan Head Yu. However, there is still something this junior does not understand. Could Clan Head Yu enlighten me?"
Hearing Bai Wanwan refer to herself as a junior, Yu Yuanzhen nodded lightly, his gaze growing a little gentler. "Please speak, Your Highness Canglan. If I know the answer, I will naturally clear up Your Highness's doubts."
"Clan Head Yu, has there ever been a precedent in the Spirit Master World of a Soul Saint defeating a Titled Douluo?"
Bai Wanwan tidied the loose strands of hair beside her ear and asked softly.
"A Soul Saint defeating a Titled Douluo?"
Yu Yuanzhen repeated Bai Wanwan's question and could not help but chuckle.
Naturally, he understood the meaning behind Bai Wanwan's words, but he did not care in the slightest. Yu Yuanzhen did not know whether there had ever been a Soul Saint capable of defeating a Titled Douluo in the entire Spirit Master World. In any case, he had never heard of such a precedent.
Someone capable of fighting across ranks might be considered a genius.
Yet those who could become Titled Douluos had once been geniuses who drew everyone's attention as well. To those who had become Titled Douluos, the geniuses of the present were merely at the threshold of meeting them.
"Hehe~"
"I have never heard of a Soul Saint defeating a Titled Douluo, but such a precedent will absolutely not happen with me."
Yu Yuanzhen's voice was filled with confidence.
His gaze toward Bai Wanwan was likewise full of indifference.
In his eyes, Bai Wanwan was simply young and reckless.
To put it another way, she had never suffered the harsh lessons of the world.
But upon further thought, Yu Yuanzhen felt that Bai Wanwan's youthful recklessness was perfectly normal.
After all, ever since arriving in Heaven Dou City, Bai Wanwan's path of growth had been entirely smooth sailing. Chen Xin had even praised her as unmatched among the younger generation, and she had never suffered any setbacks.
Although Yu Yuanzhen believed Chen Xin's assessment was well deserved, that did not mean Bai Wanwan could challenge an established Titled Douluo with the strength of a Soul Saint.
"Nothing is absolute. What if this junior is fortunate enough to make that precedent happen with Clan Head Yu?"
The smile on Bai Wanwan's face did not fade, and her tone remained calm.
"If you can truly do it."
"Then you may take whatever you fancy from our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."
Yu Yuanzhen waved a hand, his tone equally calm.
A Level 95 Titled Douluo facing a Level 74 Soul Saint meant a full twenty-one levels of Soul Power apart. Moreover, every level a Titled Douluo advanced caused their Soul Power to multiply.
How could he possibly lose under such circumstances? It was like playing Landlord with two jokers, four twos, Q-K-A all as bombs, plus a pair of jacks. How could that possibly lose?
If he lost like that, he might as well smash his head into a block of tofu and die.
"Do you mean that?"
Bai Wanwan's eyes brightened as she asked.
"Once words are spoken, four horses cannot chase them down."
Yu Yuanzhen nodded seriously.
"Then this junior asks for Senior's guidance."
Bai Wanwan rose from her seat.
Yu Yuanzhen likewise stood, but said nothing. Instead, he led Bai Wanwan out of the hall toward an open space within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Before a vast open space.
Yu Yuanzhen and Bai Wanwan stood facing one another.
"You make the first move."
Yu Yuanzhen calmly extended one hand.
"Then this junior will not stand on ceremony."
After saying that, Bai Wanwan directly released her Martial Soul. The Water Dragon King Spirit emerged behind her, while one yellow, two purple, three black, and one platinum Spirit Ring—seven in total—flashed continuously beneath her feet.
The instant Bai Wanwan released her Martial Soul, Yu Yuanzhen felt his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon being suppressed. It was more than simple suppression; he could clearly feel his Martial Soul trembling faintly, as though it were afraid.
Feeling the changes in his Martial Soul, Yu Yuanzhen looked toward Bai Wanwan's seventh Spirit Ring.
That Spirit Ring was actually platinum in color.
It was a Spirit Ring color he had never seen before.
"First Soul Skill: Water Curtain Sky Bloom."
The moment Bai Wanwan released her First Soul Skill and received its enhancement, her External Soul Bone, the Devouring Soul Bone Chain, shot from her right wrist and stabbed straight toward Yu Yuanzhen.
Watching the bone chain thrust toward him, Yu Yuanzhen gathered lightning flickering with electric arcs in his hand. The lightning erupted from his palm and charged directly at the incoming bone chain.
Crackle~
The instant the two collided, the bone chain was knocked aside, while the lightning gradually dissipated.
Bai Wanwan swung her arm, and the bone chain gleaming with cold light traced a graceful arc through the air before lashing toward Yu Yuanzhen.
Facing the bone chain attacking once more, Yu Yuanzhen had no intention of releasing his Martial Soul. He merely extended a hand to block its attacks.
For a time, the sounds of repeated collisions rang out without end.
Yet Yu Yuanzhen never moved from beginning to end, while the attacking bone chain could not harm him in the slightest.
"If this is all you have, I may be a little disappointed."
Yu Yuanzhen reached out and seized the incoming bone chain. Lightning spread from his hand and surged along the chain toward Bai Wanwan.
Seeing this.
Electric arcs likewise burst from Bai Wanwan's hand, traveling along the bone chain to meet Yu Yuanzhen's lightning.
Lightning was one of the attributes she had gained from absorbing the Evil God Bead.
The electric arcs and lightning collided, continuously producing crackling explosions.
Yu Yuanzhen released the bone chain in his hand, and Bai Wanwan took the opportunity to retract it as well.
"Second Soul Skill: Azure Sea Dragon Defense."
Bai Wanwan's second Spirit Ring flashed rapidly. The instant she released her Second Soul Skill, her figure moved.
Afterimages appeared all around. Bai Wanwan clenched her hand into a fist and attacked Yu Yuanzhen, her punch carrying a howling gale.
"What incredible speed."
A trace of surprise flashed through Yu Yuanzhen's eyes.
A Dragon Roar sounded from behind him as the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul Possession took hold. Two yellow, two purple, and five black Spirit Rings—nine in total—flashed beneath his feet.
"Suppressed by a full seventy percent?"
"Just what kind of Dragon Type Spirit is this?"
As Yu Yuanzhen pondered, he threw a punch as well, colliding with Bai Wanwan's fist.
When their fists collided, Bai Wanwan retreated three steps, while Yu Yuanzhen retreated a step and a half.
Shock surfaced in Yu Yuanzhen's heart. Although he had not used his full strength just now, that punch should absolutely not have been something an ordinary Soul Saint could withstand. Yet Bai Wanwan had only been forced back three steps.
"It's time to get serious."
Watching Yu Yuanzhen release his Martial Soul, Bai Wanwan shook out her wrist and moved once more.
Yu Yuanzhen moved as well.
The two figures darted and shifted across the open ground, every collision a head-on clash of strength.
After blocking several of Bai Wanwan's attacks in succession, Yu Yuanzhen grew increasingly shocked.
"Is this truly speed and strength that a Soul Saint can possess?"
