Sea Dragon Douluo? Just a clown! True Sun Fire, Overwhelming Suppression! (Please bookmark!)
Xu Yu had just started to raise his hand, Soul Power surging in his palm as he prepared to teach this clueless "native" a lesson.
Xu Zhao, however, gently raised a hand to stop his father from losing his temper. A faint smile played at the corner of his mouth.
"Father, why use a butcher's knife to kill a chicken?"
Xu Zhao looked at Sea Dragon Douluo in the distance, who was acting as if he were invincible, and spoke as casually as if they were discussing the weather.
"Sea Dragon Douluo is only at level 95 in Soul Power. Why should you trouble yourself to deal with him?
"If word got out, people might think the Great Sun Prince Mansion had no one capable, since the prince himself had to handle a nobody like him.
"Leave him to me. It's been a long time since I've had a chance to stretch my muscles."
Xu Yu's imposing aura receded slightly at his son's words. He looked at Xu Zhao, then laughed heartily.
"Very well!
"Since my son is in the mood, use him to practice.
"He's just a loach who plays with water. He's not worth getting angry over."
Xu Zhao had yet to make a move since breaking through to Title Douluo.
This was a good chance for Xu Yu to see.
He wondered how much of Xu Zhao's strength this so-called Sea Dragon Douluo could draw out.
Kong Yan remained calm as well. She showed not the slightest worry about her son facing a Title Douluo alone, merely nodding slightly as she gently reminded him:
"Be careful, Zhao'er. Don't let your guard down."
Her tone made it sound as if she were sending her son to pick a flower in the garden, not into battle.
Xu Zhao nodded, then lightly touched the deck with his toes.
He used no Soul Power wings and summoned no Flying Soul Tool.
Xu Zhao drifted into the air like a feather, then came to a steady stop, hovering with his hands behind his back as his sleeves fluttered.
Sea Dragon Douluo, who had been looking forward to the show, froze at the sight.
"Void Walking?!"
Sea Dragon Douluo's pupils contracted sharply.
According to common knowledge on Douluo Continent, aside from Soul Masters with flying Martial Souls, one had to reach the Title Douluo level to fly.
Yet the young man before him looked barely of age. How could he possibly be a Title Douluo?
"It must be some kind of high-level flying Soul Skill, or an ability granted by that strange warship!"
Sea Dragon Douluo guessed silently, then felt a surge of anger at being slighted.
That powerful opponent wasn't coming out to fight. Instead, he'd sent a wet-behind-the-ears brat. Was this an insult?
"You arrogant brat!
"Since you're asking to die, I'll grant your wish!"
Sea Dragon Douluo laughed in fury, and his probing attack instantly grew more vicious.
Sea Dragon Douluo pressed both hands down hard. The water dragon that had been heading for the fleet abruptly changed direction in midair.
With a deafening roar, it opened its enormous jaws, large enough to swallow a house, and lunged at Xu Zhao with the force of a thousand tons!
He was no longer holding back. He meant to smash the clueless brat into a pulp!
Xu Zhao watched the hideous water dragon charge toward him and felt its murderous intent. His brows furrowed, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.
"To go straight for a killing blow... So these so-called 'guardians of the Sea God' are nothing but a pack of vicious thugs."
Xu Zhao snorted and said no more.
If his opponent wanted to play, then he'd show him what true power looked like!
"Martial Soul—Sun!"
At Xu Zhao's low shout, an indescribably terrifying wave of heat burst out around him!
The azure sky seemed to catch fire.
A golden sun appeared behind Xu Zhao, blazing with boundless radiance and illuminating the sea for several miles around as if it were broad daylight!
Then nine Soul Rings rose slowly from beneath Xu Zhao's feet, appearing one after another.
Yellow, purple, purple, black, black...
The first five Soul Rings were impressive, but still within the bounds of Sea Dragon Douluo's understanding.
But when the sixth Soul Ring appeared, Sea Dragon Douluo's eyes flew wide open.
Red!
The blood-red color of a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring!
But that was only the beginning.
The seventh... red!
The eighth... red!
The ninth... red!
One yellow, two purple, two black, four red!
A full four Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings!
This defiance of all reason, this Soul Ring Configuration that violated every convention, was laid bare before Sea Dragon Douluo, shattering his entire worldview!
"Th-this... How is this possible?!"
Sea Dragon Douluo was horrified, his jaw nearly dropping into the sea.
Before he could recover from the shock, Xu Zhao merely raised one finger toward the oncoming water dragon.
"Break."
BOOM—!!!
The Sun Martial Soul behind Xu Zhao blazed with brilliant light, and a wave of extreme heat swept out in an instant.
The deep blue water dragon, hundreds of meters long and surging forward with terrifying force, didn't even get the chance to struggle before the golden light reached it.
"SSSSS—!!!"
With a shrill hiss, the entire water dragon instantly evaporated, turning into a cloud of white steam that dissipated into the air.
Yet after vaporizing the water dragon, the terrifying pressure of the sun showed no sign of weakening.
Wrapped in a rolling wave of heat, it crashed down on Sea Dragon Douluo like the sky collapsing and the earth splitting apart!
"AAAH—!!!"
Sea Dragon Douluo's vision filled with blinding gold and white. His eyes burned with searing pain, and he couldn't look directly at that Brilliant Sun.
The water he had once controlled with pride became his natural enemy before this Ultimate Fire. In an instant, he lost all control of it!
"PFFT—!!!"
A mouthful of blood spurted out, only to evaporate instantly in the terrifying heat and become a cloud of red mist.
Sea Dragon Douluo's powerful body, the source of his pride, looked so fragile before that golden torrent.
His bronze skin turned pitch-black in an instant.
His protective Soul Power was torn apart as easily as paper, and he was sent flying like a broken kite.
He slammed heavily into the boiling sea.
Sizzle, sizzle—
The water where he landed churned violently, sending up clouds of steam, as if even the ocean had been boiled by the lingering heat.
This was True Sun Fire!
Xu Zhao had created this domineering technique by cultivating his Sun Martial Soul to the pinnacle.
He had combined it with his profound understanding of fire elements.
It wasn't a rigid skill bestowed by a Soul Ring, but a destructive technique built on Ultimate Fire and infused with the power of the sun.
When this fire appeared, everything burned, and its power had no limit.
As Xu Zhao's Soul Power increased and his understanding of the laws of the sun deepened,
the flames would only grow more terrifying, until they could burn the heavens and boil the seas!
Xu Zhao hovered in midair with his hands behind his back, a faint golden flame circling him. He looked like a Sun God gazing down upon all living things.
Xu Zhao looked at Sea Dragon Douluo below, battered and smoking, and scorn flashed openly in his eyes. He gave a mocking laugh.
"That's it?"
