The Overpowered Golden Dragon Spear

"What a pain!"

The unending battle made Di Qiu'er feel as though she were trapped in a quagmire.

At that moment, she could no longer hold back!

"Hah—"

Her sharp cry resounded like a dragon's roar!

Two century-old Soul Rings flashed in succession.

"First Soul Skill—Golden Dragon Body!"

"Second Soul Skill—Dragon's Might!"

Then, a spear roughly 3.6 meters long and entirely golden appeared in her hand. It was neither metal nor quite wood.

This was a divine weapon—the Golden Dragon Spear!

At that instant, the hairs on Liu Yuan's neck stood on end.

The Golden Dragon Spear was no joke!

Intense golden light enveloped Di Qiu'er, and the phantom of a massive golden dragon flickered behind her before vanishing.

Accompanied by a resounding dragon's roar, the Golden Dragon Spear turned into a streak of golden lightning and shot toward Liu Yuan.

Every Origin Willow root in its path was instantly pierced through.

Their life force was completely drained by the Golden Dragon Spear.

The power he needed had arrived!

"Good!"

Though deeply shaken, Liu Yuan roared.

His third Soul Ring lit up as he clapped his palms together.

"Wood Man!"

The ground of the Soul Fighting Platform surged violently. Countless thick tree roots intertwined and shaped themselves like living creatures, and a four-meter-tall wooden giant with an ancient, simple outline rose from the ground!

It clenched its right hand and grabbed for the Golden Dragon Spear.

"Screech—"

Yet the Golden Dragon Spear was like a hot knife through butter. It effortlessly pierced through the Wood Man's palm and continued through its abdomen before finally stopping.

With its life force being absorbed,

the Wood Man even showed signs of collapsing.

Liu Yuan's eyelid twitched, and he quickly tried to remedy the situation.

At that moment, golden light flashed from the Golden Dragon Spear behind the Wood Man. Di Qiu'er's beautiful figure seemed to Teleport, tearing through space as she suddenly appeared beside it and grabbed it again. Then she charged up the Wood Man toward Liu Yuan.

Liu Yuan reached out and clenched his hand.

Willow branches intertwined, forming the Origin Willow Soul-Breaking Spear.

He wielded the Destruction Spear Technique. Though it still carried an unstoppable momentum, it avoided the Golden Dragon Spear's tip.

The Soul-Breaking Spear might be powerful,

but it was ultimately an ordinary weapon. It could not be mentioned in the same breath as the Golden Dragon Spear, much less clash with it head-on.

With a sweep of the spear shaft, he struck directly at the spear's body.

A hidden vibrating force shot toward Di Qiu'er's arm.

At the same time, several willow branches lashed out!

They danced like nimble serpents, their tips transforming into Soul-Breaking Spear points aimed directly at Di Qiu'er's vital spots.

She had no choice but to dodge,

and her footing slipped as she fell from the Wood Man.

At that moment, the Wood Man beneath Liu Yuan moved as well, ruthlessly swinging its palm! Carried by a fierce gale, it sought to send Di Qiu'er flying with one blow.

But golden light flashed, and Di Qiu'er forcibly twisted her body midair as the Golden Dragon Spear came down in a savage slash!

The blade of the Golden Dragon Spear cut directly into the Wood Man's palm, causing it to crash to the ground and turn to ash.

This time, it was Liu Yuan whose lips twitched.

No!

The Golden Dragon Spear is still far too overpowered!

Leaving aside everything else, its ability to devour life energy alone was enough to cost a plant-type Soul Master fifty percent—or even more—of their combat strength.

Otherwise, he could have used the Wood Man's size and granite-like density to suppress the terrifying power of the Golden Dragon Martial Soul.

To win, he had to restrain the Golden Dragon Spear.

With that thought, Liu Yuan clapped his palm again.

"Wood Dragon!"

A Wood Dragon coiled upward from beneath the Wood Man's feet. Its dragon head rose high as it looked down upon Di Qiu'er below.

The restored Wood Man stepped forward at that moment. Its four-meter-tall body, coupled with its granite-like density, made the ground tremble.

The Wood Dragon wrapped around it let out a soundless roar, opening its jaws toward Di Qiu'er.

On the spectator stands, the people who remained nearly had their eyes pop out of their sockets as they stared in disbelief at the Wood Man wrapped in a Wood Dragon.

Guys, who could have imagined it? Two New Students had actually pushed a Soul Fight to this extent!

What was more,

one of them could even summon such a combination.

"Good heavens!"

Xu Sanshi's mouth hung wide open for a long while.

"Bei Bei, I feel like they could completely crush us."

Bei Bei looked utterly serious.

"No, you're wrong."

"Oh?"

Xu Sanshi gave him a surprised look.

"Don't tell me you can win?"

"No. I mean you should remove the words 'I feel like.'"

"The Soul Power consumption is pretty high."

Liu Yuan stood atop the Wood Man, sensing the condition within his body.

Maintaining both the Wood Man and the Wood Dragon at the same time consumed quite a lot of Soul Power. Even with Rooting, it could not compare to the Soul Power pouring out of his body like floodwaters through an opened dam.

Still, Di Qiu'er was not doing well either.

Although she had just used the Golden Dragon Spear to replenish her own expenditure, Liu Yuan's Soul Skills had absorbed even more from her at the beginning.

As one side waned while the other grew, she was nearly unable to endure the drain.

Unless...

Her gaze fell upon the Wood Man and the Wood Dragon.

She needed to replenish herself a little more.

And Liu Yuan happened to notice that look. His eyes instantly sharpened.

You still want to replenish yourself? No chance!

The next second, the Wood Man moved first.

It took a step forward,

and charged brutally at Di Qiu'er!

Seeing this,

Di Qiu'er swung the Golden Dragon Spear and thrust it out fiercely!

But as the sound of tearing wind rang out, the Wood Dragon attacked savagely from the side. It swallowed Di Qiu'er's right hand along with the shaft of the Golden Dragon Spear in one bite, leaving only the most dangerous spear tip exposed.

The Soul Power and stamina within her body were rapidly absorbed as well.

At that moment,

the Wood Man's enormous fist was already crashing toward her.

Seeing this,

Di Qiu'er's third Soul Ring suddenly lit up. The golden light radiating from her body instantly converged upon her right fist, forming a golden dragon head. This was her Third Soul Skill—Golden Dragon Head.

Then, one small fist and one massive fist collided in midair.

"Boom—"

A wave of air immediately rolled outward in every direction.

At that very moment, Liu Yuan sensed something, and his heart could not help but jolt.

Their Soul Power seemed to...

Ah! He seemed to understand Di Qiu'er's purpose in fighting him from the very beginning.

A moment later,

"Liu Yuan wins!"

The referee's announcement rang out. The Soul Fighting Arena fell silent for a moment before everyone present applauded this spectacular battle.

Liu Yuan recalled his Martial Soul and walked over to Di Qiu'er.

After pulling her to her feet, he transferred Soul Power to her as she stood there dusty and exhausted, her Soul Power depleted.

"I concede."

"I lost."

Di Qiu'er stared intently at Liu Yuan.

There was no other emotion in her eyes, only unwillingness at having been defeated, and also... this fight had been far too stifling!

There had barely been any physical clash at all. It did not feel like a soul beast fight in the slightest.

Fortunately, Liu Yuan did not know what she was thinking.

Otherwise...

A physical clash?! Not like a soul beast fight?!

"Let's do this again next time!"

Liu Yuan raised an eyebrow.

He neither agreed nor refused.

But then again... if they sparred next time, should they ban the Golden Dragon Spear, that ridiculously overpowered piece of equipment?
