First Clash, Lin Bo vs. Tang San (Part 1)

More than two months passed in the blink of an eye. That night, Lin Bo stood guard outside Xue Ye's bedchamber with four Title Douluo.

That was right—four Title Douluo. Besides Snake Lance Douluo and Stingray Douluo, there were also Ghost Leopard Douluo, who possessed the Black Striped Ghost Leopard Martial Soul, and Demon Bear Douluo, who possessed the Blood Demon Berserk Bear Martial Soul.

In Lin Bo's view, as long as news of the two additional Title Douluo on his side did not get out, He Qiang and the others would not take any further action. Just like back in the Star Dou Great Forest, if Bibi Dong had not suddenly appeared, they would not have invited Ning Fengzhi, Bone Douluo, and Poison Douluo to intervene. They would have simply let things take their natural course.

He understood He Qiang and the others' personalities too well. He was certain they would not lightly alter the course of the plot, and with his guarantee in place, he could not imagine that they would interfere with this operation.

This was his best chance to kill Tang San. If he failed this time, then he would likely have already lost more than half the battle. As proud as he was, he naturally would not tolerate failure.

Even with Poison Douluo and Yang Wudi protecting him, the two extra Title Douluo would be enough to ensure Tang San had no chance of escaping alive.

Just then, he looked into the distance and saw six figures suddenly appear on the horizon.

Wait, six? Lin Bo's heart suddenly clenched.

Looking closely, Lin Bo spotted Tang San at first glance, and his eyes immediately turned cold.

Behind him stood Dugu Bo and Yang Wudi. Further back were Flender, Grandmaster, and Liu Erlong.

"Hahahaha, hahahaha! Tang San, you really came!" Lin Bo laughed arrogantly. "Poison Douluo and Clan Head Yang Wudi came too. That was all within my expectations. What I did not expect was for even the Golden Iron Triangle to honor us with their presence. I wonder who tipped you off?"

Over the past few days, while cultivating, Lin Bo had quietly listened in on and even spied on the eight people in Heaven Dou City. In fact, relying on their mental connection, they could do more than merely eavesdrop. As long as they calmed their minds and possessed Soul Power at the Soul Sage level, they could even spy on them. At least from what he had seen, no one had warned Tang San or Shrek Academy.

"That is none of your concern, Xue Qinghe," Tang San said.

"Xue Qinghe? Hehehe, that is not my name. Now, you may call me Qian Renxue." Lin Bo laughed loudly. "There is no point in talking any further. Enough nonsense—let's fight! Tang San, our battlefield is in the sky! If you have the guts, follow me up!"

As he spoke, Lin Bo released his Martial Soul. Seven Spirit Rings—Two Yellow, Two Purple, and Three Black—appeared around him. He rapidly beat his wings and soared into the sky.

Tang San hesitated slightly before activating his Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone and flying up as well.

Although Dugu Bo and Yang Wudi each had a certain gap in strength compared to the opposing Title Douluo, the Martial Soul Fusion Skill formed by the Golden Iron Triangle could not only hold off the other two Title Douluo, but occasionally lend Dugu Bo and Yang Wudi some support as well. With their strength, even if they could not win, they would have no trouble protecting themselves.

As he rose into the air, Tang San flicked out a signal flare behind him. It exploded in the sky.

Lin Bo sneered. He did not believe that this signal flare could summon anyone capable of saving Tang San.

He had sent people to surround the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Even if they did not know where the tunnel exit was, they could at least ensure that reinforcements from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would not arrive anytime soon.

As for the Tang Sect members, even if they came, they could not change anything.

With that thought, Lin Bo released his Angel Domain.

Tang San did not yield either, releasing Divine Slaughter's Domain to block the Angel Domain.

Lin Bo laughed three times. His seventh Spirit Ring immediately lit up and gradually turned golden, while he himself underwent earth-shaking changes.

This was the Seventh Spirit Ability of the supreme Martial Soul, the Six-winged Angel—Angel True Body.

The moment Lin Bo unleashed Angel True Body, the Angel Domain's power rapidly increased and overwhelmed Divine Slaughter's Domain.

Tang San gripped the Clear Sky Hammer, his icy gaze fixed on Lin Bo as killing intent boiled within him.

At last, Lin Bo attacked first.

He unleashed his Fifth Spirit Ability, Sacred Sword. Wielding the Sacred Sword, Lin Bo thrust straight at Tang San.

With no way to evade, Tang San swung the Clear Sky Hammer and collided head-on with Lin Bo's Sacred Sword.

The Clear Sky Hammer was indeed the world's strongest Assault System Tool Martial Soul, incomparably tyrannical in terms of power. However, Tang San's Soul Power was ultimately ten levels below Lin Bo's. Moreover, the Six-winged Angel was likewise a top-tier Martial Soul, and Lin Bo was in his Martial Soul Avatar state. Though the clash forced Lin Bo back several steps, Tang San spat out a mouthful of blood as well.

Lin Bo sneered and thrust the Sacred Sword at Tang San once more.

This time, Tang San did not meet him head-on again. The Clear Sky Hammer silently vanished, replaced by a flash of blue-gold light.

The Eight Spider Lances behind Tang San curled slightly, shielding his back. At the same time, his fifth and sixth Spirit Rings lit up together. The Blue Silver Overlord Spear appeared in his hand, and his entire body became illusory.

Lin Bo transformed into a streak of golden light and charged forward. At the instant of collision, Tang San felt that neither the Blue Silver Overlord Spear nor the Eight Spider Lances had struck Lin Bo's physical body, yet both his Soul Power and Spiritual Power had dropped at once.

Angel Domain Secondary Evolution Skill, Angel Descent.

After realizing that the Blue Silver Overlord Spear could not pierce Lin Bo, Tang San switched back to the Clear Sky Hammer to prevent his Soul Power from being depleted too quickly.

After two exchanges, Lin Bo had undoubtedly gained the upper hand.

"Twin Martial Souls... truly something to envy," Lin Bo thought. "Although I currently hold the advantage, Tang San has three uses of Invincible Golden Body and can evade three fatal attacks... It seems I can only proceed step by step and slowly search for his weakness."

Lin Bo was not worried that he would be unable to defeat Tang San, because he knew every one of Tang San's abilities inside out. Besides, even if he lost, Stingray Douluo would kill Tang San at the first opportunity. As long as he did not foolishly try to stop him, Tang San was certain to die.

At that thought, a cold smile appeared on his face.
