Dugu Bo let out a shrill, voice-cracking scream. He looked as though he had gone mad, frantically tugging at his green hair.
"How is this possible?! This is absolutely impossible!"
"There is a limit to what a human body can bear! How could the Physical Body of a six-ring Soul Emperor possibly withstand the terrifying energy of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring—energy so immense it could burst even a Title Douluo apart?!"
"An illusion! This must be an illusion!"
Dugu Bo desperately denied everything before his eyes.
Yet the Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring floating beneath Xue Bingchen's feet, radiating suffocating pressure and dense bloody light, mercilessly mocked his ignorance.
That genuine oppressive aura belonging to a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast could not possibly be fake!
Actually.
Xue Bingchen had not suddenly summoned his Martial Soul and displayed this utterly heaven-defying Spirit Ring configuration because he truly wanted to fight Dugu Bo.
He was doing it for one reason—intimidation!
Absolute intimidation!
Xue Bingchen was an exceptionally intelligent person.
He understood clearly that in the survival-of-the-fittest world of Douluo Continent, strength was always the bargaining chip in negotiations!
His earlier words—exposing Dugu Bo's hidden ailment and revealing his background—had merely stripped away the pride and façade of a Title Douluo, making him wary and afraid to act rashly.
But that was not enough!
Simply making Dugu Bo afraid to move would not make him obediently hand over the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and the Immortal Herbs.
Therefore, Xue Bingchen needed to display strength powerful enough to drive Dugu Bo into despair!
His actions now were meant to completely shatter Dugu Bo's psychological defenses and make him understand one truth:
Not only is my background beyond your reach, but my personal strength and potential make me a monster you can never hope to match!
