Xu Yu was just about to raise his hand, soul power surging in his palm, preparing to teach this ignorant "native" a lesson.
Xu Zhao, however, gently raised his hand to stop his father, a faint smile playing on his lips:
"Father, why use a butcher's knife to slaughter a chicken?"
Xu Zhao looked at the arrogant Sea Dragon Douluo in the distance, his tone as relaxed as if he were discussing the weather:
"This Sea Dragon Douluo only has level 95 soul power; why would you need to take action yourself?
If word got out, people would think the Great Sun Prince Mansion has no one else, requiring a Prince to deal with such a character personally.
Leave him to me; it just so happens I haven't stretched my limbs in a long time."
Hearing this, Xu Yu retracted his aura slightly, looked at his son, and then laughed heartily:
"Very well!
Since my son has such an interest, then use him to practice.
He is nothing but a loach playing in the water; he is truly not worth my anger."
Xu Zhao had not yet made a move since breaking through to the Title Douluo realm.
He might as well take a look.
He wondered just how much of his strength this so-called Sea Dragon Douluo could force out of Xu Zhao.
Kong Yan, standing to the side, also looked indifferent. She showed not a hint of worry that her son was about to face a Title Douluo alone, merely nodding slightly and instructing him softly:
"Zhao'er, be careful, don't be careless."
Her tone was as relaxed as if she were telling her son to go pick a flower in the garden rather than head into battle.
Xu Zhao nodded, then tapped his toes against the deck.
Without the aid of soul power wings or the summoning of any flying Soul Tool.
Xu Zhao's figure drifted out as light as a feather, then hovered steadily in mid-air, standing with his hands behind his back, his robes fluttering.
This sight left the Sea Dragon Douluo, who had been ready to watch a good show, instantly stunned.
"Void Walking?!"
The Sea Dragon Douluo's pupils contracted sharply.
In the common knowledge of the Douluo Continent, unless a soul master possessed a flight-type martial soul, they had to reach the Title Douluo level to fly.
But this youth before him looked so young, not even twenty years old; how could he possibly be a Title Douluo?
"It must be some high-level flying soul skill, or an ability granted by that strange warship!"
The Sea Dragon Douluo guessed inwardly, and a surge of anger at being underestimated rose in his heart.
The powerhouse on the other side wouldn't even fight, sending a wet-behind-the-ears brat instead—was this an insult to him?
"Arrogant brat!
Since you are looking for death, I shall grant your wish!"
The Sea Dragon Douluo laughed out of extreme rage, and his previously probing attack instantly turned fierce.
The Sea Dragon Douluo pressed his hands down violently, and the water dragon that had been striking at the fleet suddenly turned in mid-air.
With a deafening roar, it opened a maw large enough to swallow a house, and with the force of ten thousand jun, it lunged straight at Xu Zhao in mid-air!
He was no longer holding back with this strike, intending to smash this ignorant brat into meat paste!
Watching the hideous water dragon rushing toward him and feeling the chilling murderous intent contained within, Xu Zhao frowned slightly, a trace of disgust flashing in his eyes.
"Attacking with a killing blow right from the start; it seems these so-called 'Guardians of the Sea God' are nothing but a bunch of vicious thugs."
Xu Zhao snorted coldly and said no more.
Since the other party wanted to play, he would let him see what true power was!
"Martial Soul—Sun!"
Following Xu Zhao's low shout, a terrifying heatwave that defied description instantly erupted with him at its center!
The originally azure sky seemed to be ignited at this moment.
A golden blazing sun appeared behind Xu Zhao, shining with ten thousand rays of light, illuminating the sea for several miles around as if it were broad daylight!
Immediately after, nine soul rings rose slowly from beneath Xu Zhao's feet, pulsing with rhythm.
Yellow, purple, purple, black, black...
Although the first five soul rings were of excellent quality, they were still within the Sea Dragon Douluo's understanding.
However, when the sixth soul ring appeared, the Sea Dragon Douluo's eyes widened sharply.
Red!
That was the blood-red color representing one hundred thousand years!
But this was only the beginning.
The seventh... Red!
The eighth... red!
The ninth... still red!
One yellow, two purple, two black, four red!
A full four Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings!
This heaven-defying soul ring configuration, which defied all common sense, was laid bare before Sea Dragon Douluo, completely shattering his worldview!
"This... how is this possible?!"
Sea Dragon Douluo was terrified to the point of madness, his jaw nearly dropping into the sea.
Before he could recover from his shock, Xu Zhao simply raised a finger toward the incoming water dragon.
"Break."
BOOM—!!!
The Sun Martial Soul behind Xu Zhao flared with brilliant light, and a wave of extreme heat instantly swept outward.
That aggressive, hundreds-of-meters-long deep blue water dragon didn't even have a chance to struggle the moment it touched this golden light.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss—!!!"
Accompanied by a harsh hissing sound of vaporization, the entire water dragon was instantly evaporated, turning into a sky full of white steam that dissipated into the air.
And that terrifying pressure of the sun, after evaporating the water dragon, did not weaken in the slightest.
Carrying rolling heat waves, it crushed down toward Sea Dragon Douluo below as if the sky were collapsing and the earth sinking!
"Ah—!!!"
Sea Dragon Douluo felt only a blinding golden-white before his eyes, his vision burning with such intense pain that he couldn't even look directly at that Brilliant Sun.
His seawater control, which he took such pride in, was like meeting a natural predator in the face of this True Sun Fire, instantly losing all authority!
"Pfft—!!!"
A mouthful of blood sprayed out, instantly vaporized into a blood mist by the terrifying heat.
Sea Dragon Douluo's formidable physical body, which he was so proud of, appeared so fragile before this golden torrent.
His originally bronze-colored skin turned charred black in an instant.
His protective soul power was shredded like thin paper, and he was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string.
He slammed heavily onto the boiling surface of the sea.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—
Where he hit the water, the sea churned violently, emitting massive amounts of white smoke, as if even the ocean were being boiled by the residual heat.
This was—True Sun Fire!
It was a domineering technique created by Xu Zhao, who had cultivated his Sun Martial Soul to the pinnacle.
Combining his own ultimate comprehension of the fire element, it was a unique creation.
It was not a rigid skill granted by a soul ring, but a destructive move based on Ultimate Fire, fused with the power of the sun.
Once this fire appeared, it burned everything, and its power had no upper limit.
As Xu Zhao's soul power increased and his comprehension of the laws of the sun deepened, the power of this flame would only become more terrifying, until it could burn the heavens and boil the seas!
In mid-air, Xu Zhao stood with his hands behind his back, faint golden flames swirling around him, like a Sun God overlooking all living beings.
Xu Zhao looked down at the disheveled, smoking Sea Dragon Douluo, a flicker of undisguised contempt flashing in his eyes as he sneered:
"Is that it?"
