Tang San's Conclusion: Luo Chuan, the Unsolvable One

As the smoke and dust cleared, Shi Dalong appeared in a sunken mud pit, his expression cold and indifferent. Power of Destruction clung to his body, yet it was unable to seep into his armor.

"Is that all you've got?" Shi Dalong was shocked inside, but outwardly displayed nothing but contempt.

"If that's all, then, brat, I'll teach you what it means to respect your elders!" Shi Dalong rolled his wrists and neck, his bones cracking.

At the same time, he started forward, closing in on Luo Chuan step by step, his speed increasing steadily.

His massive claw swept across Luo Chuan's chest, yet it did not even tear Luo Chuan's clothes.

It had missed by less than half an inch.

Shi Dalong thought he had simply been careless and that Luo Chuan had narrowly dodged by chance, so he swung his claws again!

Yet the result was the same.

Once, twice, three times.

Shi Dalong's expression grew increasingly grim, like the calm before a storm. He was a dignified Soul Emperor, yet he was being toyed with by a Soul Elder. It was utterly unacceptable.

"Yeah! Luo Chuan, fight back! Beat him up!" Ning Rongrong cheered excitedly, waving her little fists as though she were the one fighting.

"This kid is really slippery!" Though he said so, Shi Dalong did not dare underestimate Luo Chuan in the slightest, because Luo Chuan's expression was far too calm.

Shi Dalong had never excelled in speed. His brute strength was fierce but cumbersome, so it could not have been easier for Luo Chuan to evade his attacks.

"Brat, you forced my hand!" Shi Dalong roared. After fighting for so long, Luo Chuan's collar had not even been disturbed, while Shi Dalong himself had been repeatedly wounded.

Although Luo Chuan's first soul skill could not inflict effective damage on Shi Dalong, being struck again and again and blasted back by the explosive Power of Destruction still made Shi Dalong lose face.

"Sixth Soul Skill!!"

"Earth Dragon Somersault!!"

Luo Chuan looked at Shi Dalong and immediately felt a violent tremor beneath his feet. One earthen dragon after another rose and churned, while a terrifying pressure descended upon him, making it difficult even to move a foot, as though a thousand-pound burden weighed upon him.

"A wide-area attack!" Tang San spoke, then added, "Only this kind of wide-area attack, forcibly locking onto Luo Chuan, could possibly defeat him when there isn't an absolute gap in strength."

"Should we intervene?" Dai Mubai frowned. A Soul Emperor's sixth soul skill was a wide-area soul skill that greatly restrained Luo Chuan. This time, Luo Chuan was likely in trouble!

While Tang San and Dai Mubai hesitated, Zhu Zhuqing had already vanished from where she stood. Her second soul skill, Shadow Escape, made her impossible to predict.

Luo Chuan remained at the center of Earth Dragon Somersault, and the earthen dragons around him were about to swallow him whole.

Zhu Zhuqing's figure silently appeared behind Shi Dalong. Netherworld Hundred Claws erupted, and the strengthened Netherworld Hundred Claws struck the back of Shi Dalong's neck.

Clang, clang, clang.

Though the barrage was not particularly powerful against Shi Dalong, it was dense enough to cause him a sharp burst of pain and nearly interrupt his soul skill.

Luo Chuan looked over, his brows furrowing, before he shouted, "Scatter!"

Scatter!

As the word "scatter" left his mouth, a Golden Lotus bloomed beneath Luo Chuan's feet. At the same time, his Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring flickered almost imperceptibly. Golden light instantly dispersed, transforming into specks of starlight that filled the air.

With that single word, every restraint on Luo Chuan's body was instantly released. Freed from the pressure, his figure blurred. As if taking a leisurely stroll through a courtyard, he directly stepped beyond the range of Earth Dragon Somersault.

Seeing Luo Chuan leave Earth Dragon Somersault's attack range, Shi Dalong's fury deepened. He had not intended to bother with Zhu Zhuqing behind him, but with a long howl, surging Soul Power burst outward. Zhu Zhuqing hurriedly activated Shadow Escape, but how could a Soul Emperor's attack be so easily avoided?

"Dragon Roar!"

With that furious roar, Zhu Zhuqing's mind spun, and her figure, which had been about to retreat, froze in place.

"Second Soul Skill, Obliteration Cage!"

Luo Chuan's voice rang out. A black lotus bloomed beneath Shi Dalong's feet and instantly trapped him within, blocking the slap he had been about to use to send Zhu Zhuqing flying. His palm could only strike the Obliteration Cage instead.

The massive palm came down, but the Obliteration Cage merely trembled slightly. Without hesitation, Luo Chuan activated his third soul skill again, and the Indestructible Lotus Robe descended over Zhu Zhuqing.

"Leave." Luo Chuan spoke. Zhu Zhuqing shook her dazed head, then reluctantly used Shadow Escape to leave the battlefield.

Ning Rongrong hurried over to receive Zhu Zhuqing. "Zhuqing, you were way too bold! You actually dared to sneak attack a Soul Emperor."

Zhu Zhuqing glanced at the lotus robe covering her body, then looked toward Luo Chuan. "Rongrong, buff Luo Chuan."

Ning Rongrong froze for a moment, then nodded. "Nine Treasures Turn Out Glazed Tiles! First, Strength. Second, Speed!"

Two streams of light crossed dozens of meters and entered Luo Chuan's body. Luo Chuan instantly felt his body grow much lighter and his strength increase greatly.

"A dignified Soul Emperor actually used a soul skill against a little girl. Shameless!" Luo Chuan was somewhat angered and immediately triggered the follow-up effect of the Obliteration Cage.

The black lotus instantly burst with dense black light, then exploded with a boom, transforming into obliterating power that destroyed everything within the cage.

"Roar!!!"

Shi Dalong threw back his head and roared. Soul Power poured into his soul rings as though it cost nothing. When his figure reappeared in everyone's sight, he was already covered in wounds.

"It seems you won't be teaching us a lesson on behalf of our elders after all." Luo Chuan stood where he was, the Soul Power within him still abundant.

Shi Dalong panted heavily. That explosion had actually made him feel the threat of death.

He raised his head and looked at Luo Chuan, whose expression had remained unchanged throughout, and a deep, instinctive fear rose in his heart.

Three rings. Only three rings, yet Luo Chuan had made him feel the threat of death. And judging by Luo Chuan's appearance, he had not expended much at all.

"You lost." Luo Chuan withdrew his martial soul, and the Indestructible Lotus Robe around his body vanished as well. Shi Dalong had not even touched the corner of his clothes, much less broken through the Indestructible Lotus Robe and harmed him.

In the distance, Ning Rongrong pouted, looking at Zhu Zhuqing with resentment. "What was that? I gave him Strength and Speed buffs, but he didn't use them at all."

Zhu Zhuqing could not help but laugh, but in this battle, she had also clearly seen Luo Chuan's terrifying strength. A three-ringed Soul Elder had overwhelmingly crushed a Soul Emperor. She understood that Luo Chuan's escape from Earth Dragon Somersault had not been her doing.

Instead, it was only when she had fallen into danger that Luo Chuan used his second soul skill to end the battle swiftly.

"Unsolvable!" Tang San watched Luo Chuan's figure. After his gaze shifted for a long while, he finally slowly forced out those two words.

Dai Mubai's tightly clenched fists gradually loosened. In the end, he sighed. "The Heavenly Ranking, damn it!!! This Heavenly Dao Ranking has to be fake! Otherwise, how could it leave Luo Chuan off!"

"Ding! Dai Mubai's trust in the Heavenly Dao Ranking has fallen to its lowest point. Reward: Light Shadow Flying Leopard Left Leg Bone ×1, Tiger Essence Pill ×10."

"Ding! Tang San's trust in the Heavenly Dao Ranking has fallen to its lowest point. Reward:"
