Douluo: So You're the Theory Master

"Was I still a little short?"

Beast Martial Souls really did provide terrifying physical enhancement!

After all, they were only ordinary stones, and my Soul Power was still a little lacking.

Then I could only rely on my Martial Soul.

While Hu Liena continued struggling to break free without immediately losing her ability to fight, Ning Qinghe had already considered this and gathered strength for a follow-up move.

"Defeat!"

Having broken free of the restraints, Hu Liena looked at Ning Qinghe at such close range and saw that he had expended a great deal of Soul Power.

She did not miss the opportunity, going all out as terrifying red Soul Power instantly enveloped her short blade.

At this point, she did not care whether she might take someone's life.

They could leave it to a healing-type Soul Master afterward.

Brilliant red light erupted, but only briefly.

Because the blade light had struck something even more terrifying.

It burst forth for an instant, then went out like fireworks exploding, only to be followed by an even more dazzling light.

Soul Ancestors really weren't easy to deal with.

"Hu Liena, this is my final move."

The attack came first, followed only then by Ning Qinghe's slow declaration.

Having consumed a massive amount of Soul Power, his face had turned somewhat pale. His previously strengthened meridians throbbed faintly with pain. He, too, was at the end of his rope.

This had completely drained his Soul Power. There was no way he could gather it again during this battle.

If rock alone could not do it, then he would use gravity to crush everything!!!!

Whether it was his domain or any other ability, even if he exposed everything, he could not lose here.

This was his full strength.

As the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda emerged, the ancient pagoda absorbed the tremendous amount of Xuanhuang Power he had accumulated earlier, its radiance growing even more intense.

It left everyone present unable to believe it. Was this really an attack unleashed by a Soul Grandmaster?

Was this really an attack unleashed by a defense-type Soul Master?

As though avenging the humiliation of that earlier strike.

The embryonic form of the Xuanhuang Domain fully manifested at this moment, lending the pagoda an overwhelming sense of weight.

The pagoda appeared and instantly blocked Hu Liena's attack, then Ning Qinghe shoved it toward her.

The enormous pagoda bore down on her, and even Hu Liena's face flashed with alarm.

If there had been more distance between them, she could have avoided it entirely, but they were far too close.

Her attack had arrived in an instant just now, and the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda was the same, appearing directly before her.

Moreover, the domain wrapped around the pagoda. The Xuanhuang Domain was not merely about boosting defense or launching earth-element attacks.

As Xuanhuang Power erupted, gravity—the true killing move—silently and invisibly began to affect Hu Liena's body.

The Gravity Ring emerged, and endless gravitational pressure swept outward.

The ground around them was compressed downward, while shattered stones trembled without end.

Hu Liena bore the brunt of it, her entire body shrouded by the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda.

She staggered and could not even stand steadily. The terrifying gravity was not something she could resist.

Her supple waist bent completely, and she could no longer straighten herself!

"Pfft~~~~~"

The golden pagoda, like a small mountain, appeared above Hu Liena's head.

At this moment, Hu Liena was like some demon or evil spirit suppressed beneath the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda.

In an instant, Hu Liena vomited blood. Her face turned pale, her eyes reddened and filled with blood vessels, and the heavy, formless gravitational assault seemed ready to destroy everything within her.

Her bones, meridians, and muscles trembled incessantly. She could not even raise her arms, and pain erupted throughout her entire body.

Blood began spraying from Hu Liena's body. This was already the limit of what her physical body could endure.

She was nearly kneeling on the ground, desperately supporting herself with an outburst of Soul Power. She was unwilling to lose like this.

But that only made things worse. Her body simply could not withstand it.

Splattered blood scattered everywhere, staining a large patch of ground around Hu Liena crimson.

"Suppress her!!"

"Admit defeat!"

Seeing Hu Liena's refusal to yield, Ning Qinghe did not waste words. He extended his right hand and pressed downward from above.

He had said he would go all out, so there was no chance to hold back.

And in this situation, he did not doubt that if she could move, she would definitely go berserk and slash him with that blade.

Between seeing a beauty perish and being hacked down to crawl here himself, he chose the former.

The terrifying pressure made Hu Liena feel despair, yet she still stared fixedly at Ning Qinghe.

She watched the man standing straight, looking down at her from above.

Her half-kneeling body could no longer hold itself up, and her short blade stabbed into the ground.

Her entire body was pressed into the earth, her fair cheek nearly touching the dust in a wretched state.

She truly experienced defeat!!

Perhaps only now had the battle truly settled.

The situation in the arena had risen and fallen so wildly that anyone watching felt overwhelmed.

And that made it impossible for some people to remain seated.

"Kid, stop!"

"Stop right now."

"Old Ghost, old chrysanthemum, what are you trying to do?"

"You're the ones who need to stop!"

Before Ning Qinghe could even breathe a sigh of relief or dismiss his Martial Soul, he felt a wave of pressure descend upon him.

The next moment, four figures appeared one after another around the arena, each faster than the last. Every one of them bore nine Spirit Rings of various colors.

The situation on the arena.

It could be said that it had exceeded everyone's expectations.

Therefore, following Yan's cry of alarm, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo could no longer concern themselves with anything else.

"Kid, stop this instant!"

Nine Spirit Rings erupted at once as they appeared directly on the scene.

If their Holy Maiden died here, they would be in serious trouble when they returned.

And seeing the Holy Maiden lose so miserably truly left them shocked and panicked!!

Without caring about anything else, they immediately made their move.

The terrifying Soul Power fluctuations made everyone from the arena to the spectator stands tremble.

"You're the ones who should stop!"

At the same time, the instant they erupted, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo's expressions darkened.

They were no slower than their opponents. The four of them reached the arena almost simultaneously, only they stood beside the two combatants.

The Spirit Emperor referee had already hidden off to the side, unable to face several Titled Douluo.

"Seven Treasures are renowned: first, strength; second, speed; third, Soul Power..."

It was not only the Titled Douluo who took action. Ning Fengzhi in the spectator stands was also frantic. This was his precious son—if anything happened to him, it would hurt more than his own death.

He immediately summoned his Martial Soul and swiftly used his Martial Soul skills to enhance Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.

Soul Power reinforcement followed closely after, increasing both of their combat strength.

Meanwhile, Dugu Bo in the Spirit Hall section wore a gloomy expression.

Those two old bastards had acted so directly, completely ignoring his presence.

His gaze shifted directly toward the two remaining members of the Golden Generation beside him.

"Brats, you'd better pray that nothing happens."

His long, withered hands reached directly for the two of them, intending to strike at them first.
