Watching the Battle

This situation was simply too rare.

If he alone might have been mistaken, but Bone Douluo shared the same perception, then there could be no mistake.

He had never expected there to be two Limit Douluo Experts.

Moreover, one of those Limit Douluo auras felt extremely familiar.

"One of them is Qian Daoliu. I never expected that after being in seclusion for so many years, he would emerge once more."

Sword Douluo spoke slowly, his expression solemn.

Qian Daoliu's powerful, sacred, radiant aura was something Sword Douluo could never forget, no matter how long he had remained in seclusion.

As for the other expert's aura, it felt utterly unfamiliar to him.

Suddenly, Ling Feng's figure flickered into view in the distance as he hurried in the direction Qian Daoliu had left.

"It's Pavilion Master Ling. Could that unfamiliar Limit Douluo Expert be an expert from the Soul Ring Pavilion?"

Sword Douluo immediately sensed Ling Feng's presence, and a speculation arose in his heart as he thought of the mysterious man who had always remained by Ling Feng's side.

Even before this, he had sensed that man's immense strength.

Since he had now managed to draw Qian Daoliu out of seclusion, his strength must have reached the level of a Limit Douluo.

Sword Douluo could not help drawing in a sharp breath. He had originally thought Zhao Yun was merely at level ninety-seven or ninety-eight.

He had never expected him to be at the Limit Douluo level.

However, Sword Douluo and the others did not know that they had still guessed wrong.

The reason Zhao Yun could unleash combat power comparable to a Limit Douluo was the immense power granted by his soul ring configuration.

"Come on, let's follow them and take a look. A battle between two Limit Douluo Experts is something one rarely sees in a hundred years."

Excitement flashed in Sword Douluo's eyes. He longed to draw experience from this battle and improve his own strength.

"Perhaps the experience from this battle can push us a step further past the bottleneck we have failed to break through for so many years."

Bone Douluo agreed, his heart likewise filled with anticipation.

Ning Fengzhi had the same thought. Such an opportunity was simply too rare.

The three turned into streaks of light and rushed in Ling Feng's direction. They moved at astonishing speed, leaving three dazzling trails across the sky.

In less than half an hour, the group abruptly came to a stop.

They had already traveled far beyond the borders of the Heaven Dou Empire, and the boundless sea was not far away.

The surroundings were completely deserted, making it a perfect battlefield.

Battle intent blazed in Qian Daoliu's eyes. A powerful aura radiated from his body, like a towering mountain that could not be ignored.

Zhao Yun showed no sign of retreat. His eyes were filled with resolve and determination as he released an equally powerful aura.

The two overwhelming auras erupted with invisible force, colliding in the Void and producing ripples that spread outward in waves.

Every stone in the surrounding area was instantly blasted into powder by that immense pressure. Dust filled the air, creating a spectacular sight.

"Bzz! Bzz! Bzz!"

The Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul behind Qian Daoliu released sacred radiance at that moment. Its brilliance was as dazzling as the sun, illuminating the entire sky.

Then, nine soul rings flashed into view one after another, revealing the heaven-defying configuration of Eight Black One Red.

Each soul ring radiated a powerful aura, as though proclaiming Qian Daoliu's strength.

Zhao Yun likewise gripped the Hundred Birds Facing Phoenix Spear, while his Six Black Three Red soul ring configuration floated defiantly in the Void.

The lights of those soul rings intertwined, forming a dazzling and colorful scene.

"So it is true!"

When Qian Daoliu saw Zhao Yun's soul ring configuration with his own eyes, his pupils contracted.

He had roamed the Douluo Continent for many years and considered himself widely knowledgeable, yet such a heaven-defying soul ring configuration still left him utterly shocked.

He had never expected that someone on the entire continent could possess soul rings even more heaven-defying than his own. This made Qian Daoliu even more curious about Zhao Yun's origins.

"Strange?"

"There's no trace of any God Position aura?"

For some reason, Qian Daoliu had been observing Zhao Yun from the beginning, yet he had not sensed the aura of any God-level Expert from him.

It seemed Zhao Yun was neither a God Position examiner nor someone who had begun a God Position inheritance. That was what puzzled Qian Daoliu most.

Before the battle began, Qian Daoliu could not help voicing the doubt in his heart.

"I want to ask, how did you achieve such a soul ring configuration? I can't sense any God Position aura from you."

"As long as your body is strong enough, even absorbing a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring as your first soul ring is no problem."

Zhao Yun gave Qian Daoliu only a vague answer. He did not wish to reveal too many of his secrets.

"If you don't want to say, then forget it. Let's settle this with our hands. I want to see just how strong you are with such a heaven-defying soul ring configuration."

Qian Daoliu snorted coldly and gripped the Angel Holy Sword as the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul shone brilliantly.

Streams of sacred Sword Qi suddenly appeared in the Void, like sharp blades stabbing toward Zhao Yun ahead.

The Sword Qi moved with incredible speed, cutting the air with hissing sounds wherever it passed.

Zhao Yun swept the Hundred Birds Facing Phoenix Spear through the Void, sending streams of spear light toward Qian Daoliu as well.

The spear light gleamed brilliantly, as though it could pierce through every obstacle.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

At that moment, the two experts with Limit Douluo-level combat power finally launched their full assault.

"How is that possible?"

"Your Soul Power Level is only ninety-eight!"

As the battle raged on, Qian Daoliu immediately noticed something amiss.

He discovered that Zhao Yun's strength was only at level ninety-eight and had not reached the Limit Douluo level. Yet through their earlier exchanges, he had also confirmed that Zhao Yun truly possessed Limit Douluo-level combat power.

Qian Daoliu could not help taking a deep breath. He knew very well that while level ninety-eight and level ninety-nine were separated by only one level of soul power, the gap between them was like an insurmountable chasm.

In his understanding, that one-level gap was nearly impossible to cross.

Yet the man before him had actually made up for that difference with sheer strength. That was what truly shocked Qian Daoliu.

A thought could not help surfacing in his mind: Could his soul ring configuration have made up for that one-level difference in soul power?

Qian Daoliu did not dwell on it any longer. He knew full well that battle allowed no room for distraction.

He roared and charged at Zhao Yun once more. The Angel Holy Sword in his hand swung even more fiercely, sending Sword Qi raining down upon Zhao Yun like a storm.

Zhao Yun's figure weaved through the Sword Qi, while the Hundred Birds Facing Phoenix Spear in his hand danced without pause. Every swing defused Qian Daoliu's attacks while striking back in return.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Their battle grew increasingly intense. Lights flashed across the sky, explosions rose one after another, and it seemed as though the entire world trembled beneath their clash.

Ling Feng, who had followed them here, stood in the Void and watched the battle unfolding ahead. Feeling the world-destroying aura produced by their clash, he could not help sighing in admiration.

As expected of the power produced by a battle between Limit Douluo Experts. Even Titled Douluo found it difficult to approach the Core Area.

Ling Feng watched the way the two fought with complete focus, his eyes filled with concentration and longing.

Such a battle was a rare opportunity for him to learn.

He carefully observed Qian Daoliu and Zhao Yun's every movement and every release of soul power, trying to find a way to improve himself.
