A First-Ring Soul Master Beats Up a Titled Douluo? It Defied Logic, but This Was Fantasy!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The row of stone pillars behind him was instantly corroded full of holes, emitting terrifying sizzling sounds.

"This... this is impossible!" Dugu Bo climbed up from the ground, his face full of disbelief.

This made no sense at all!

That wasn't a soul skill! That was a law!

Li Yifei looked at his bedraggled state and spoke calmly. "Your attacks travel too directly. They're easy to predict."

[Little Fox Demon: Pfft... cutting someone down and twisting the knife! Is Big Shot Yifei giving a live lesson?]

[Little Ice Cube: He's... learning and mastering this ability in battle... What terrifying adaptability.]

Dugu Bo trembled with rage.

He was the great Poison Douluo, yet he was being lectured by a one-ring Soul Master?

"I refuse to believe this nonsense!"

He changed tactics, moving at high speed as he circled Li Yifei and fired poisonous mist from all sorts of tricky angles.

"Let's see how you defend against this!"

This attack was no longer a straight line. It curved in from every direction, closing in around him.

Li Yifei remained where he was, even closing his eyes.

He merely spread out his spiritual power, sensing the trajectory of every attack.

Then he raised his index finger and casually drew several circles in front of himself.

The next second, a scene Dugu Bo would never forget for the rest of his life unfolded.

All the poisonous mist shooting in from every direction was caught, drawn in, and gathered by an invisible force the moment it came within one meter of Li Yifei, merging into an even thicker and more terrifying emerald-green torrent!

Then, under his will, that torrent became like a living poisonous dragon. It locked onto the rapidly moving Dugu Bo with perfect precision and smashed down upon him!

"Not good!"

Dugu Bo's soul nearly left his body. Without a second thought, he tried to dodge sideways.

But the instant he exerted force, he felt the space around him suddenly sink and turn incomparably viscous!

His movements were forcibly delayed by one-tenth of a second!

Spatial lockdown!

When experts clashed, one-tenth of a second was already the difference between life and death!

Pfft!

The poisonous dragon, formed from several of his own attacks, slammed solidly into the soul power protecting his body.

Dugu Bo let out a muffled groan and was sent flying, crashing into the wall before barely managing to stop. Though he was uninjured, he looked utterly miserable.

[World's Number One Princess: ...(gone insane)]

[Is Jade Not Jade: He restrained him! He restrained him, then used his own skills to hit him! What kind of devilish move is that?!]

[Bunny Is So Cute: Brother Yifei is amazing!]

[Ghost Cat: ...No solution.]

Dugu Bo braced himself against the wall and gasped for breath. The way he looked at Li Yifei now held no longer shock or fear, but utter terror.

Long-range attacks were completely pointless!

Any power he launched would only be used by his opponent and turned into a weapon against himself!

The only way was...

"Yaaah!"

Dugu Bo roared and abandoned all long-range attacks.

The soul rings beneath his feet blazed brightly. Emerald-green soul power covered his entire body, transforming him into a green shadow as he lunged fiercely at Li Yifei!

Close combat! He would use the physical strength of a Titled Douluo to crush this first-level Soul Master!

Yet just as his sharp claws were about to touch the corner of Li Yifei's robes—

Li Yifei vanished.

The next second, he appeared ten meters away, still looking as calm and unruffled as ever.

Spatial transfer!

Dugu Bo spun around sharply and pounced again!

Gone.

Appeared.

Pounced again!

Gone again!

The entire secret chamber was filled with nothing but Dugu Bo's furious roars and his miserable figure futilely chasing a phantom.

He felt like a monkey being toyed with. No matter what he did, he could not touch his opponent even once.

[World's Number One Princess: Hahahahaha! Kiting! No, this is kiting a Titled Douluo!]

[Is Jade Not Jade: I feel sorry for Poison Douluo for one second, then I'm laughing like a pig! Hahahaha!]

Just as Dugu Bo was about to suffer a stroke from rage, Li Yifei suddenly stopped and raised one hand.

Dugu Bo came to an abrupt halt, glaring at him with every muscle in his body taut, ready for the next round of humiliation.

But Li Yifei merely shook his head, his expression calm.

"No more fighting."

"I don't have enough soul power."

Those five words were light and casual, yet more devastating than any God-tier Martial Soul or Golden Soul Ring before them.

Dugu Bo froze in place, his mind blank.

What had he just experienced?

A one-ring Soul Master who had only just awakened his Martial Soul had used his most prized poison techniques to bat him around like a ball.

He had been toyed with by Space Law until he spun in circles, unable to touch even the corner of the other man's clothes.

He had burned soul power, wagered the dignity of a Titled Douluo, and launched a desperate charge!

And what was the result?

The other party waved him off in disdain and said he wasn't fighting anymore.

The reason was not that Dugu Bo was too strong, nor that his opponent was merciful.

It was because... he was out of mana?

"Pfft—"

A surge of blood rushed straight to his head. Dugu Bo could no longer hold on. Sweetness rose in his throat, and his entire body swayed.

He wasn't injured. He was furious.

This was humiliation! This was absurdity!

He felt like he wasn't a Titled Douluo at all, but an idiot fighting a three-year-old at the village entrance, only for the child to grow tired of playing and say, "This is boring. I'm going home to eat."

The greatest humiliation of his life!

"Grandpa!"

Dugu Yan cried out in alarm and hurriedly supported the unsteady Dugu Bo.

Her livestream camera shook violently along with her, clearly presenting Dugu Bo's old face as it turned from green to white, then from white to purple, in all its spectacular glory before every member of the Group Chat.

After a brief deathly silence, the Group Chat instantly exploded.

[World's Number One Princess: Hahahahahahaha! I can't do this anymore! Help! He doesn't have enough soul power! That's the funniest joke I've heard all year!]

Ning Rongrong immediately sent a string of stickers laughing so hard they were pounding the floor.

[Is Jade Not Jade: Cutting someone down and twisting the knife! Poison Douluo risked his life, and Brother Yifei was just draining his stamina bar?]

Liu Erlong laughed so hard that she trembled all over.

[Bunny Is So Cute: So... Brother Yifei wasn't even fighting seriously? He was just testing his skills? Then... then that old grandpa is so pitiful.]

[Little Ice Cube: For a one-ring Soul Master's soul power... to sustain spatial soul skills of that level for so long is already unbelievable. What concerns me more is that he said, "I don't have enough soul power," not "I can't beat him."]

Shui Bing'er's analysis brought the laughter in the Group Chat to an abrupt halt.

That was right.

He had merely run out of mana. He had not lost.

What if his soul power had been at the level of a Titled Douluo?

Then Dugu Bo likely would not even have had the chance to remain standing today!

At the thought of that possibility, every girl felt her scalp tingle.

Seemingly noticing the Group Chat's doubts, Li Yifei stretched his wrist and leisurely sent a message into the group.

[Li Yifei: Don't misunderstand. My soul power really is at the level of a one-ring Soul Master. It may be a little more than that of an ordinary Soul Master, but not by much.]

[Li Yifei: Mainly because my physical condition is too strong and my reaction speed is fast enough, so fighting is relatively easy.]
