Fists of True Injury!

"Come on. Let's test out your first soul skill."

Qian Renxue looked at Jiang Yuan with great interest, her eyes filled with eagerness to try.

"Sister Xue'er, my spirit is a little strong. You should summon your spirit first." Jiang Yuan did not attack right away. His small face was serious as he looked at Qian Renxue.

He had no concrete idea how high the Void Ancient Dragon's stats were, but the Golden Dragon alone could already stand shoulder to shoulder with a god-level spirit. His Void Ancient Dragon, which was not inferior even compared to the Dragon King Spirit, was still terrifyingly powerful even though he was only rank thirteen.

Qian Renxue's eyes narrowed slightly when she heard that. She lowered her head to look at Jiang Yuan and smiled. "Little brat, do you think becoming a soul master means you can shake your big sister?"

"The strength of the Angel Spirit isn't any weaker than your Void Ancient Dragon. On top of that, my soul power has reached rank forty-seven. Even against a Soul Emperor, I'd be confident I could fight and win. You don't need to worry about hurting me."

Jiang Yuan did not back down. He looked at Qian Renxue with a stubborn expression.

Under Jiang Yuan's gaze, Qian Renxue ultimately gave in and said seriously, "Xiao Yuan, then I'll let you see the power of the Angel Spirit."

"Angel Descends!"

Dazzling golden light burst from within Qian Renxue's body. At that moment, her hair turned into a brilliant, shining gold, every strand glowing.

The clothes on her back split open. Two pairs of pure white wings emerged from her back and unfurled, and her body seemed to break free of gravity as it slowly floated up, stopping a foot above the ground.

Against the wash of golden light, a massive, indistinct phantom appeared behind her body.

The only difference between the golden figure of light and her true body was the number of wings. The golden figure had three pairs—six wings—on its back, while Qian Renxue currently possessed only one pair, two wings, after being possessed by her spirit.

Her white wings tinged with gold spread behind her, her body hovering in midair, and her golden eyes were filled with incomparable majesty.

"Xiao Yuan, let me see your strength."

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan's expression also turned solemn. A layer of purple-gold light suddenly lit up in his eyes, and his originally deep black pupils instantly became a pair of purple-gold dragon eyes radiating endless majesty.

"Whoosh!"

Jiang Yuan's figure erupted with speed far beyond what his level should allow. Like a ghost, he appeared in front of Qian Renxue, his thick dragon claw covered in fine scales grabbing toward her chest.

Those metal-like scales left no doubt in anyone's mind about the power and defense contained within them.

"So fast!"

Qian Renxue was suddenly startled. The speed Jiang Yuan unleashed far exceeded her expectations.

Unfortunately, she was no pushover. Because of the Angel Spirit, Qian Daoliu was known as invincible in the sky. In terms of speed, if the Angel Spirit claimed second place, no one would dare claim first.

Besides, she did not want to dodge!

The splendid golden figure of light behind her bloomed at the same time, and a powerful pressure filled with sacred aura rushed forth.

Qian Renxue's figure moved. She raised her palm, and a burst of brilliant golden flame instantly surged up, releasing a powerful pressure filled with sacred aura.

Bang!

After taking Jiang Yuan's punch, Qian Renxue's originally calm expression instantly changed. The terrifying force transmitted into her palm made her feel a burst of shock.

This strength was actually no weaker than a power-type Battle Soul Elder from the extreme school.

After confirming that Jiang Yuan's strength far surpassed his realm, Qian Renxue no longer held back. The sacred attribute in her palm rose once more as she swiftly attacked Jiang Yuan.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan was equally unwilling to show weakness. He had no extra attribute boosts—only the powerful stats that belonged to the Void Ancient Dragon.

"Jiang Yuan can actually keep up with the Holy Maiden's speed."

Watching the two locked in their "intense battle," Snake Spear Douluo was somewhat surprised.

Jiang Yuan was rank thirteen, while Qian Renxue was rank forty-seven. There was a full thirty-four-rank gap in soul power between them.

Even though Qian Renxue had already been holding back, Jiang Yuan could actually keep up with her speed.

That was already extremely astonishing.

"His speed isn't slow, but it hasn't reached the level where he should be able to do this. Every one of his attacks contains a faint spatial fluctuation. That allows him to keep up with the Holy Maiden's movements in both speed and reaction."

"This is a talent unique to him."

Ghost Douluo spoke in a hoarse voice. Among everyone present, only he was an agility-attack Titled Douluo, so in this aspect, his authority surpassed the rest.

Hearing Ghost Douluo's explanation, Pufferfish Douluo and Snake Spear Douluo fell silent for a moment.

After exchanging a glance, the two of them spoke with complicated feelings.

"What a monster!"

"Golden Dragon Fist!"

A dragon's roar came from the center of the battle between the two sides. Jiang Yuan had somehow already lit up the first soul ring he had obtained. Purple-gold light shone over his fist, and a terrifying power gathered within it.

Sensing the terrifying power Jiang Yuan unleashed, Qian Renxue did not dare to be careless either.

It was not that she was afraid of getting hurt, but that if she was careless for even a moment and ended up in an embarrassing state, it would damage her image in front of Jiang Yuan.

"What a powerful soul skill!"

"Xiao Yuan, I won't hold back from here on either!"

Qian Renxue's expression turned stern. At some point, a brilliant golden three-foot longsword had appeared in her hand.

She raised her hand and slashed out a wave of sword energy. The fierce sword energy rushed toward Jiang Yuan, but he did not dodge.

His thick dragon claw grabbed forward and easily shattered the sword energy that was powerful enough to severely injure a Great Soul Master.

At the same time, he had already reached Qian Renxue's side, and his terrifying Golden Dragon Fist came crashing down.

"What a heartless little guy. You don't know how to cherish your big sister at all."

Qian Renxue's first spirit ring also lit up, and a golden halo instantly gathered toward her right fist, like a giant round shield, as she charged at Jiang Yuan.

Boom!

Amid the thunderous explosion, the two figures in the air separated in an instant after a brief collision.

Jiang Yuan was blasted back and landed on the ground, his blood and qi churning inside him.

There was also a strand of spirit power filled with a sacred aura roaming through his body, dissolving his spirit power.

Jiang Yuan's spirit power was terrifyingly strong. After circulating it for just one cycle, he expelled the sacred spirit power that had invaded his body completely.

Qian Renxue, on the other hand, only swayed in place, her blood and qi surging inside her.

After circulating her spirit power to steady herself, Qian Renxue looked in shock at Jiang Yuan, who had landed on the ground. She had clearly blocked that punch just now, yet a special force had bypassed her spirit-power defense and acted directly on her body.

Fortunately, her own physical constitution was powerful, and the Angel Spirit also possessed the ability of intangibility. Otherwise, she really would have embarrassed herself.

"Armor penetration?!"

Qian Renxue stared at Jiang Yuan. Though there was a question in her tone, her eyes were especially certain.

"Golden Dragon Fist: it greatly increases my strength, defense, and speed, and also comes with a fifty percent armor-penetration effect."

"On top of that, the Void Ancient Dragon Spirit's innate spatial talent lets my attacks bypass spirit-power defenses to a certain degree and deal damage in the first place. With this armor-penetration effect, it becomes even stronger."

Hearing Jiang Yuan's explanation, everyone gave bitter smiles.

Listen to that. Was that even human language?

Why don't you just say every punch deals true damage?

Did you really have to leave that one percent of defense as a fig leaf?
