In Xiao Wu's heart, she truly did not know who was stronger, Luo Chen or Tang San. Tang San had all kinds of hidden weapons—the Dragon Whisker Needle, Sand Shooting Shadow, and medium-grade Sleeve Arrows—enough to threaten a Soul King.
But Luo Chen and Xiao Wu were in a relationship, so Xiao Wu naturally knew some of his secrets. He also had all kinds of strange techniques and seemed even more mysterious than Tang San.
Xiao Wu could not figure it out either. Her eyes were wide open as she stood beside the two of them, her rabbit ears swaying as she looked adorably confused.
Luo Chen ignored her and looked at Tang San as well. "Yeah, Tang San. It's been a long time since we last sparred. Let's go."
After Luo Chen and Tang San passed through the Soul Duel Channel, they arrived on the Soul Duel Platform.
The host briefly introduced their Martial Souls and levels before announcing the official start of the soul duel.
"Luo Chen, be careful..." Tang San immediately released his Martial Soul, Blue Silver Grass. Two yellow soul rings appeared around his body.
Tang San's Blue Silver Grass had already become extremely thick and sturdy. It was black, covering everything around him, while the remaining Blue Silver Grass continued spreading across the Soul Duel Platform and attacked Luo Chen.
Without seeing it for himself, Luo Chen had not realized that the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul was actually quite decent. It was somewhat like Wood Release. It seemed he would need to consider what ability to obtain from his next soul ring.
Although Luo Chen was already very strong, Martial Souls were still useful to him. Some soul beasts in this Douluo world possessed flames, lightning, and special abilities stronger than the fire, lightning, and other attributes condensed from Soul Power alone. After obtaining powerful soul rings, Luo Chen could directly use ninjutsu to draw out the power within them.
Luo Chen calmly extended his hand and released the dazzling Peach Blossom Fan Martial Soul. At this moment, the Peach Blossom Fan had two colors, one purple and one red. Two yellow soul rings also appeared around his body.
"Luo Chen, you should attack now. Otherwise, my Blue Silver Grass will trap you. Then you won't be able to use your teleportation..."
Seeing Tang San's serious expression, Luo Chen found it amusing. You trash think you can trap your daddy? Still, this brat clearly wanted to defeat him in front of so many people. Luo Chen would have to arrange something special for him.
As Luo Chen thought this, he noticed that the surrounding Blue Silver Grass had already risen high into the air and enclosed him within it.
Looking at Tang San again, there was still a huge amount of Blue Silver Grass around him, protecting him tightly like a rice dumpling. This brat was probably trying to prevent Luo Chen from getting close, but was that not a little too cowardly? No wonder he always let Xiao Wu charge ahead whenever they fought.
Tang San did know that Luo Chen possessed two strange teleportation techniques, but he did not know that Luo Chen's Flying Thunder God Teleportation had now become genuine spatial ninjutsu. Even if Tang San wrapped himself into a ball, it would be useless.
Luo Chen shook the fan in his hand and immediately moved. The Blue Silver Grass began coiling toward him.
Dazzling purple flames burst from Luo Chen's Peach Blossom Fan...
"First Soul Skill, Purple Flame Fire Poison..."
A vast sheet of purple fire erupted from the Peach Blossom Fan, instantly igniting all the Blue Silver Grass that was winding around Luo Chen. The purple flames contained fire poison. Once the Blue Silver Grass caught fire, the flames spread from one section to the next, burning toward Tang San.
Fire was precisely the nemesis of Blue Silver Grass. Tang San was not stupid either. He immediately severed the burning sections of Blue Silver Grass and activated his First Soul Skill as well.
The next second, more than ten Blue Silver Grass stalks wrapped around Luo Chen. This time, they were thick vines. Even flames could not immediately burn through them, and the charred Blue Silver Grass still retained its ability to bind and restrain.
Luo Chen thought, This brat is actually a little clever. He deliberately stalled for time earlier so he could gather Soul Power and prepare these thick Blue Silver Grass vines that could temporarily resist flames.
As more than ten thick Blue Silver Grass vines attacked again, Luo Chen remained calm. He had countless trump cards now. Defeating Tang San was far too easy. He could use Chidori, Great Ball Rasengan, Flying Thunder God Technique, Fire Bullet Technique...
He could also use Vajra Palm and Six Meridian Divine Sword from the Martial Arts System's Golden Finger...
He could even use the Desert Eagle pistol or revolver from the Super Technology System and blow apart Tang San's crotch with one shot.
With the endlessly replenishing internal energy of the Nine Yang Divine Skill, as long as Luo Chen did not use a powerful ultimate technique that would instantly exhaust all his Soul Power, he could rapidly recover it.
If he could cultivate the Nine Yang Divine Skill to its peak, then even techniques like Planetary Devastation, Almighty Push, and Hundred Thousand Year Soul Skills could practically be unleashed without limit.
But why would he need those to fight trash like Tang San? A few simple moves would be enough to make him kneel down and call Luo Chen daddy.
Luo Chen immediately leaped up and used his Second Soul Skill, Thunder Dragon Lightning...
This was a soul ring obtained from a nine-hundred-year Thunder Dragon soul beast. Black lightning immediately erupted from Luo Chen's fan. With a swing, he severed every thick Blue Silver Grass vine.
"Something's wrong... Poison, and seeds..."
Luo Chen's eyes instantly turned blood-red, becoming Three Tomoe Sharingan. He saw wisps of poisonous mist and Blue Silver Grass seeds being released from the severed grass. This was Tang San's Second Soul Skill, Ghost Vine, Parasite.
Tang San was rather underhanded. He had actually learned so many disgusting soul skills. Ordinary people would never notice that seeds were hidden in the Blue Silver Grass. They were as tiny as pollen.
Most opponents would relax after breaking Tang San's First Soul Skill, never expecting the Blue Silver Grass from that First Soul Skill to release seeds onto them once destroyed. Then Tang San could use his Second Soul Skill to directly parasitize their bodies. It was truly impossible to guard against.
This brat really did have good combat awareness. As expected of a transmigrator. Unfortunately, Luo Chen was still his daddy...
Luo Chen immediately gripped the Peach Blossom Fan at his waist and mobilized all the Soul Power in his body. In that instant, black lightning erupted across his entire body.
"Thousand Birds Current..."
At Luo Chen's current Soul Power level, this move consumed an enormous amount of Chakra. It could nearly use up more than half of his Chakra, and he could only use it once within an hour. Otherwise, even the Nine Yang Divine Skill would not be able to restore it in time.
The black lightning from the Peach Blossom Fan's Second Soul Ring was instantly drawn out by Luo Chen and spread across his entire body. The power of this black lightning was greater than ordinary Thousand Birds Current. This Thunder Dragon Lightning possessed terrifying destructive force.
In only an instant...
All the snake venom and seeds were instantly vaporized in the air under the assault of the black lightning.
"What?" Tang San was immediately shocked. He hurriedly tightened the Blue Silver Grass around him, protecting himself tightly.
Tang San guessed that Luo Chen would use Flying Thunder God Teleportation. Luo Chen cooperatively used one stage of Flying Thunder God and rushed to the outside of Tang San's Blue Silver Grass defenses.
In truth, Luo Chen's Flying Thunder God Teleportation could now directly pass through obstacles and kill this pretentious bastard. But that would be no fun. He needed to wait until Tang San attacked him again when he least expected it, and then, hehe...
In Tang San's memories, he had always believed that Luo Chen's teleportation could not pass through walls and could only be used in two stages.
Just as Luo Chen teleported to the outside of Tang San's Blue Silver Grass defenses, eight Blue Silver Grass vines suddenly burst from the ground. All of them carried the paralytic poison of the Mandala Snake, and there was another vine above his head...
Tang San thought he was incredibly clever at that moment. An ambush...
Luo Chen had been waiting for this ambush. He swung the fan in his hand and unleashed a purple flame ray. It rapidly spread along the Blue Silver Grass above his head and immediately burned toward Tang San.
The next moment, Luo Chen deliberately allowed the Blue Silver Grass around his legs to bind him. But he was not paralyzed at all. Instead, he continued controlling the purple flames, which rapidly spread and burned Tang San's pants.
This move was Fire Release, Dragon Fire Technique. Dragon Fire Technique was an extremely fast flame ray that the caster could control freely, unlike Great Fireball Technique, which was difficult to control.
With Tang San's Blue Silver Grass spreading it, the fire burned even faster. Before Tang San could react, the purple flame ray had already burned along the defensive Blue Silver Grass around him. Under Luo Chen's control, it immediately reached Tang San's pants.
Luo Chen deliberately pretended to be paralyzed and shouted anxiously, "Tang San, I can't control the flames! Hurry up and take off your pants, or it'll be dangerous..."
"What..." Tang San immediately retreated, cutting off and withdrawing the remaining Blue Silver Grass that had not yet burned. He used Xuan Yu Hand and tried to extinguish the purple flames on his pants.
But as soon as Tang San touched the purple flames on his pants, he was so frightened that he immediately pulled his hand back. His Xuan Yu Hand could not withstand the purple fire at all. His pants were quickly burned away, exposing his legs underneath.
"This is bad... This..." In his panic, Tang San had no other choice. He immediately stripped off the remaining parts of his pants, then quickly took off his shirt and threw it aside. With bare legs, wearing only underpants and the belt Grandmaster had given him, he ran naked across the Soul Duel Platform and jumped out of the range of the purple flames.
This scene caused waves of uproar among the spectators below the platform. They had never seen anything like it before. Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong immediately turned their heads away, all looking somewhat disdainful.
Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and the others also looked extremely unpleasant. They thought, Why does this Tang San always do such embarrassing things?
Tang San did not even have the mood to continue fighting. He had already jumped off the Soul Duel Platform and hurried off to find clothes. He really had run naked all the way.
Luo Chen was still pretending to be paralyzed. With a pained expression, he used the Peach Blossom Fan to draw back all the purple flames. Only then did the host announce Luo Chen's victory.
For a moment, many people below the stage cheered. As Luo Chen walked out of the Soul Duel Channel, Xiao Wu happened to be waiting for him. She covered her mouth and giggled. "You did that on purpose, didn't you? San Ge was so embarrassed. He won't be angry, will he?"
"He won't. Go comfort him properly later. I didn't do it on purpose either." Luo Chen smiled, gently pinched Xiao Wu's hand, and, seeing no one nearby, quickly kissed her cheek before returning to the stands with her.
Tang San had not returned yet. No one knew where he had gone.
Luo Chen had Ning Rongrong wait in the stands while he went to register for the two-on-two draw. The one in charge of the draw was still that purple-haired receptionist with a ponytail.
"Miss, help us draw lots. We want to participate in a two-on-two match." Luo Chen spoke calmly. Looking at the receptionist's figure, he felt that older girls really were better. That familiar smile appeared at the corner of his mouth again.
The purple-haired girl behind the counter looked up and saw Luo Chen. Recalling his earlier implication, her pretty face suddenly turned red. After all, she was an adult woman and had spent many years in society. Of course she understood.
"What's wrong, pretty lady? How about we add each other... Oh, I forgot, they don't have that here. How about you tell me your home address? After you get off work tonight, I'll secretly come find you..." Luo Chen smiled faintly and whispered.
"Are you sick? Tell you my ass..."
The purple-haired girl glared at Luo Chen, then suddenly seemed to think of something. She pursed her lips lazily and said, "You don't need to participate in the two-on-two match. There are no more slots tonight for teams below level thirty. You can only be matched against teams above level thirty. If you're scared, you don't have to participate today."
After saying that, the receptionist wore a faint smile on her lovely face. She deliberately wanted to provoke Luo Chen into participating in this unfair soul duel, then arrange powerful opponents for him and properly punish this boy who dared flirt with her.
Luo Chen paused. This pretty lady seemed to be tempting him now. Hehe, how could I back down? He smiled and said, "Of course I'm not afraid. Pick any opponents you want. If we win, you treat me to dinner. How about it, we..."
"Psycho..." The receptionist looked at Luo Chen and was about to refuse, but then she suddenly remembered that he was only level twenty-eight. Besides, she would be choosing the opponents herself. His other female companion was a Support System Soul Master. How could he possibly win?
The greatest difference between level thirty and level twenty was the thousand-year soul ring. Having worked in the Great Spirit Arena for so many years, she naturally understood that Luo Chen's chance of winning was practically zero.
After thinking for a moment, the receptionist lightly touched her lips with a finger and said, "Fine. If you really want to ask me out, don't surrender in the arena. Don't let me look down on you."
Damn, her voice is a little seductive right now. She really is going all out just to make me get beaten up. But Luo Chen liked her this way. He smiled and said, "Fine, I definitely won't surrender. You have to be good, though. Oh, right, my name is Luo Chen. What's yours?"
"My name is Yan Ying..." The receptionist lightly played with her fingers, revealing an almost imperceptible smile. Then she immediately said, "All right, I've arranged your opponents. Wait patiently. You'll go on after two matches."
Yan Ying. What a nice name. Luo Chen thought that this receptionist was rather alluring when she tried to entice him. No wonder she was a dancing girl. Although he knew she deliberately wanted him to participate so he would get beaten up, hehe...
When he returned to Ning Rongrong's side to wait for their two-on-two soul duel, Tang San finally returned to the group. He had changed into another set of clothes, though he still looked somewhat disheveled.
Xiao Wu blinked and immediately skipped over to Tang San's side. "San Ge, are you all right? We still need to participate in the two-on-two soul duel. You won't be angry at Luo Chen, right?"
As Xiao Wu spoke, she gently swayed her waist and revealed an adorable smile. Tang San instantly lost all resistance. He glanced at Luo Chen beside him and said, "I'm fine. Of course I won't be angry at Luo Chen. We've been friends for so many years. Besides, Luo Chen was paralyzed by my Blue Silver Grass at the time. I was the one who set that ambush for him. He really couldn't control the flames..."
After speaking, Tang San looked to the other side and went to draw lots with Xiao Wu.
Tang San really was thick-skinned, but that was a good thing. After Luo Chen finished humiliating Tang San, he could have Xiao Wu comfort him and keep him acting like a turtle.
At this time, apart from Xiao Wu, who needed to help Luo Chen complete Ultimate Hunt, even the blond-haired Dai Mubai went to check on Tang San. The other two girls, Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, did not go speak with Tang San.
Before long, it was Luo Chen and Ning Rongrong's turn for their two-on-two soul duel. Luo Chen held Ning Rongrong's hand as she nervously followed him through the Soul Duel Channel and onto the two-on-two Soul Duel Platform.
After Luo Chen and Ning Rongrong stepped onto the Soul Duel Platform, they received no applause at all. Their opponents had not yet appeared when they heard the host say, "Today's two-on-two soul duel is a special challenge match. Two Great Soul Masters below level thirty will challenge a Soul Elder combination that has already won three consecutive matches—the Cat and Mouse Combination..."
