Seeing her teacher treated with such disdain, Qian Renxue could no longer hold back.
"Dugu Bo!"
She stepped forward, releasing the aura of a Soul Emperor without reservation.
"My teacher is a marvel of this age; his words are truth! You shall not be rude!"
Though she knew the other party was a Titled Douluo, her desire to defend her teacher made her refuse to yield an inch.
Dugu Bo glanced at her and let out a cackling, eerie laugh.
"Your Highness, I only show you courtesy because you are the heir to the empire."
"But in the world of Soul Masters, strength is what ultimately speaks."
He looked at Chen Xuan, his emerald eyes filled with provocation.
"If you want me to believe you, it is simple."
"Defeat me."
"As long as you can win against me, let alone the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, what would it matter if I gave you my life?"
As these words left his lips, Qian Renxue's expression immediately turned troubled.
"This..."
She felt anxious in her heart.
She had no doubt that her teacher's strength was unfathomable.
However, Dugu Bo's Martial Soul was the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor, a top-tier beast Martial Soul, and it was incredibly poisonous.
Yet, her teacher's Martial Soul was Blue Silver Grass.
Plant-type Martial Souls were naturally countered by serpent-type beast Martial Souls, not to mention the added attribute of lethal poison.
This contest was far too unfair to her teacher!
However, before she could speak, she heard Chen Xuan's calm voice ring out once more.
"Very well."
It was only two words, yet they landed with the weight of a promise.
Dugu Bo was stunned upon hearing this, then shook his head and chuckled.
"Heh... what courage."
"The young people of today truly do not know the immensity of heaven and earth."
He looked at Chen Xuan as if he were looking at a dead man who didn't know his own limits.
Fine, since this brat was actively seeking death, he would grant his wish.
It would also serve as a lesson for this naive Crown Prince who didn't know his place.
With that thought, Dugu Bo stopped wasting words.
BOOM--!
A terrifying, peerless aura erupted from his lean, tall frame!
A wave of dark green soul power, like a bursting dam, swept across the entire valley!
The pressure of a level 92 Titled Douluo was as heavy as a mountain; the surrounding air seemed to solidify, vegetation bowed in submission, and loose stones trembled and rattled!
Under this pressure, Qian Renxue felt her breath hitch, as if a ten-thousand-jin boulder were pressing against her chest. She had to circulate her soul power and take several steps back before she could barely steady herself.
Her pretty face turned pale, her eyes filled with shock.
Is this the true power of a Titled Douluo?
Even just his aura made her, a level 68 Soul Emperor, feel unable to resist!
"ROAR!"
With a soul-shaking hiss, the phantom of a massive, emerald-green python coiled up behind Dugu Bo.
The giant python was dozens of meters long, its lantern-sized eyes flickering with cruel light, its scarlet tongue darting in and out, while a foul, toxic mist permeated the air.
The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul!
Qian Renxue's heart jumped into her throat as she watched Chen Xuan in the center of the storm.
Yet, Chen Xuan's expression had not changed in the slightest from beginning to end.
He remained standing where he was, hands behind his back, his robes snapping in the violent gale, yet his figure remained as immovable as a mountain.
That air of nonchalance formed a stark contrast to the world-destroying aura surrounding him.
Seeing this, Dugu Bo frowned, and for some reason, the disdain in his heart dissipated slightly.
Playing the mystery!
He snorted coldly, deciding to stop testing him.
"First Soul Skill, Jade Phosphorous Poison Fire!"
He raised a finger, and the colossal Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor behind him opened its blood-red maw.
Whoosh—!
A torrent of ink-green flame, carrying a vicious aura capable of incinerating the soul, swept toward Chen Xuan like an overwhelming deluge!
Wherever the poison fire passed, the ground hissed as it corroded, instantly turning into a charred pit that emitted a nauseating stench.
In the blink of an eye, Chen Xuan's figure was completely swallowed by the surging poison fire.
Qian Renxue's pupils constricted violently, her heart nearly leaping out of her chest.
Teacher... does he intend to withstand a Title Douluo's first soul skill with his bare flesh?!
How is this possible!
Dugu Bo was also stunned.
He had assumed the other party would at least release a martial soul to defend.
Yet, until the moment he was struck by the poison fire, the boy had remained completely motionless.
Was he courting death?
The next moment.
A sudden change occurred!
Rumble!!
The entire valley—no, the entire mountain range—began to tremble violently!
A dull, thunderous roar, like the cry of a dragon, erupted from deep beneath the earth.
Under the horrified gazes of Dugu Bo and Qian Renxue, the ground shrouded in poison fire suddenly cracked open!
Deep, bottomless fissures spread wildly like a spiderweb!
Following this, a Blue Silver Grass of unimaginable size burst forth from the soil!
That was no mere grass; it was a blue dragon tearing through the earth!
Its vines were as thick as thousand-year-old trees, and its leaves were so broad they blotted out the sky!
Its entire body shimmered with a crystalline blue, covered in sacred and profound golden patterns. It radiated not the gentle aura of a plant, but the domineering, world-conquering majesty and boundless divine life force!
Qian Renxue stared blankly at the heaven-defying "Blue Silver Grass," her mind completely blank.
Was this... Teacher's true power?
She did not doubt for a second that this single stalk of Blue Silver Grass was enough to raze the entire Heaven Dou City to the ground!
Dugu Bo was so terrified that his soul nearly fled his body, the color draining from his face instantly.
Terrifying!
Too terrifying!
This was Blue Silver Grass? This was a goddamn miracle!
The massive Blue Silver Grass gave a gentle inhale toward the Jade Phosphorous Poison Fire raging in the air.
Like a whale drinking the sea, the fierce poison fire, capable of killing a Soul Douluo, didn't even stir up a ripple before it was completely swallowed, transformed into the plant's own nourishment.
Having done this, the giant Blue Silver Grass vine shifted its direction, lashing out toward Dugu Bo's head like a whip of divine retribution!
Dugu Bo's soul trembled with fear; without a second thought, he tried to mobilize his soul power for defense.
Yet, to his horror, he discovered that his body, his soul power, and even the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor martial soul behind him were unable to move, suppressed by the absolute authority of the other party's primal life force!
He was like an ant targeted by its natural predator, utterly devoid of the power to resist!
What terrified him even more was that as the Blue Silver Grass drew near, he could clearly feel his own life force being frantically stripped away by an irresistible power!
The scent of death, clearer than ever before, enveloped his entire being.
He was going to die!
He would truly die!
All his pride and all his dignity were crushed to dust in this moment.
Despair and fear drowned the mind of this Title Douluo.
He used every ounce of his strength to let out a hoarse, distorted scream.
"I surrender!"
The desperate cry of "I surrender" echoed through the valley.
The giant Blue Silver Grass that had torn the earth apart halted its vine, which carried the weight of divine punishment, a mere three inches from Dugu Bo's face.
The gale force brought by the vine whipped his long, ink-green hair into a frenzy and scraped painfully against his cheeks.
