Douluo Traversal: I Pulled Out a Dou Technique—Why Didn't You Explode? Section 10

"The match begins!"

Boom!!

The instant Qin Ming's voice fell, Liu Bai moved.

His right foot stomped down violently, cracking the ground beneath him!

"So fast!"

Du Yun was startled and hurriedly raised his Martial Soul, using the Azure Cloud Folding Fan to block in front of him.

Bang!!

Liu Bai's punch slammed into the folding fan, sending Du Yun skidding back a meter uncontrollably!

What a heavy punch!

He immediately put away his contempt for Liu Bai. This kid was no simple opponent.

The people below the stage instantly noticed that something was wrong as well!

Liu Bai's strength was far from ordinary.

Du Yun tossed aside the folding fan in his left hand, which had merely been for decoration.

Only one fan remained in his hand!

"First Soul Skill, Azure Cloud!"

With a fierce sweep of the folding fan, a patch of azure mist instantly covered the entire arena.

Du Yun's figure immediately began racing wildly across the field.

"Junior Liu Bai, I underestimated you. But how will you deal with this move of mine?"

Liu Bai stood where he was, flames covering both his fists. Du Yun's voice came from within the mist, making it impossible to tell which direction it came from.

"I see. The mist blocks my vision, and the sound is distorted too. Are you trying to use sound to interfere with my judgment?"

"Hmph!"

He gave a cold snort as the Golden Flame in his hands surged.

"Then I'll strike in every direction!"

"First Soul Skill, Flame Vault - Azure Profound Fire!"

Several balls of fire shot into the mist in an instant.

"Explode!"

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of explosions rang out, and Du Yun's figure was immediately forced out.

Liu Bai's flames had explosive properties and an extremely wide range. The arena was only so large.

There was nowhere for him to hide.

"Found you!"

Liu Bai charged forward in an instant!

Seeing this, Du Yun raised his fan again.

"Second Soul Skill, Fan Shadow!"

Several spinning phantoms of Azure Cloud Folding Fans instantly lashed toward Liu Bai.

"Roaming Cloud Steps!"

Du Yun's attacks were fast, but Liu Bai merely twisted and flowed through several nimble turns, instantly dodging every Fan Shadow.

"What?!"

Before Du Yun could finish being shocked, Liu Bai had already arrived before him and shoved a palm into his chest.

The force of the palm directly sent him flying off the arena.

Du Yun was still dazed when Qin Ming spoke.

"Liu Bai wins. Liu Bai will remain on the arena. The rest of you may challenge him."

Du Yun finally came back to his senses.

"I lost? I lost to a kid ten years younger than me?"

The scene fell silent for a moment. Everyone had been startled by Liu Bai's strength.

"Damn, he may be young, but he's pretty strong."

Ye Lingling leaned close to Dugu Yan and whispered.

"What do you think, Yanyan? Want to give him a try?"

Dugu Yan pulled Ye Lingling into her arms.

"Me? Forget it. He's such a cute little brother. I don't want to poison him. Let the others test him first. Besides, he only has sixteen levels of Soul Power. He probably can't hold the arena for many rounds."

Ye Lingling nodded.

For a time, no one below the stage wanted to go up and fight Liu Bai.

There was no benefit to winning, and losing would be embarrassing.

But Qin Ming would not allow this situation to continue.

"If no one volunteers, I'll choose. Osler, you're up."

"Uh..."

Osler helplessly walked onto the stage and first cupped his hands toward Liu Bai.

"Hello, Junior Liu Bai. I am Osler. My Martial Soul is the Ghost Leopard. I am a level twenty-seven agility-attack Battle Soul Master. Please instruct me."

Liu Bai cupped his hands as well.

"Please!"

Osler. Liu Bai had some impression of him—he was one of the future members of the Imperial Fighting Team.

The match begins!

Yu Tianheng

The moment Qin Ming's words fell, two figures shot toward each other like arrows released from a bow.

There was no probing. Both went all out in speed!

They both had some understanding of the other's strength, and neither underestimated the other!

Liu Bai's footwork was profound, his body swift as the wind. It was clearly the mid-grade Yellow Rank movement Dou Technique, Roaming Cloud Steps.

With this technique, his speed was not inferior in the slightest to Osler, the wielder of the speed-specialized Ghost Leopard Martial Soul!

The two closed in instantly, fist winds and claw shadows intertwining.

"First Soul Skill, Sharp Claws!"

Osler shouted low as a layer of dark claw phantoms covered both his hands. Carrying a sharp aura, they thrust straight for Liu Bai's chest.

"Stone-Crushing Fist!"

Liu Bai neither dodged nor evaded. He sank into a horse stance and drove his right fist forward without any flourish!

His fist wind howled, with faint streams of Golden Flame flickering through it.

When fist and claws collided, they produced a dull explosive boom!

The powerful impact sent both of them flying back several steps before they steadied themselves.

"What? A Self-Created Soul Skill?!"

Osler's pupils contracted as shock filled his heart.

That punch had been far more than ordinary brute force. It contained a unique method of exerting strength and circulating Soul Power, and its might far surpassed ordinary punches and kicks.

How old was he? He already had a Self-Created Soul Skill!

And its power was not weak in the slightest!

After that exchange, Osler held nothing back. If he continued to pull his punches, he might lose!

That would be utterly humiliating.

His figure charged forward again like a ghost.

"Second Soul Skill, Residual Claws!"

As he swung both claws, several solid and swift claw-shaped streaks of Soul Power shot toward Liu Bai like arrows from a bow from different angles, sealing off his room to evade.

Yet with the support of Roaming Cloud Steps, Liu Bai's movements were unbelievably fluid.

He was like a fallen leaf drifting in the wind, or a fish swimming upstream, always evading the claw shadows by the narrowest margins at the last possible moment.

"Damn... he's as slippery as a loach!"

Osler's attacks repeatedly missed, and he could not help growing anxious.

At that moment, a sharp gleam flashed in Liu Bai's eyes.

"First Soul Skill, Flame Dome-Azure Profound Fire!"

Golden Flame suddenly surged across his fists, and the scorching heat distorted the air.

Seizing the instant when Osler's attack missed, his old force spent and his new force not yet born, Liu Bai explosively pushed off the ground and lunged forward!

It was still that same plain, straightforward punch.
