Ice Fire Element Control!

"Kid, since they're god-level soul bones, what soul skills did they grant you?"

Dugu Bo leaned in front of Huang Long curiously, looking eager to learn.

And he wasn't the only one who wanted to know.

Dugu Yan, Xiao Wu, Sea Dragon Douluo, and Sea Maiden Douluo all wanted to know as well.

Huang Long looked at everyone and said with a smile, "Since everyone wants to know, I'll show you."

"These two god-level soul bones each granted me two soul skills. The first skill of each is elemental control."

"The soul bone in my left hand grants Ice Element Control, while the one in my right grants Fire Element Control."

As he explained, he circulated his soul power and activated the soul bones' abilities.

When he raised his left hand, terrifying cold radiated from his palm, condensing into an ice spike the size of a palm.

When he raised his right hand, a golden flame ignited in his palm.

The searing heat even warped the air as it burned.

Huang Long continued, "Those are the two skills. The other two are called Scorched Earth for a Thousand Miles and Frozen for Ten Thousand Miles."

"One is a large-scale area-of-effect attack soul skill, while the other is a large-scale control-type soul skill."

Upon hearing this, everyone except Sea Dragon Douluo and Sea Maiden Douluo swallowed hard.

Scorched Earth for a Thousand Miles.

Frozen for Ten Thousand Miles!

Those were no longer soul skills—they were divine skills, weren't they?

Dugu Bo asked tentatively, "Are these two soul skills really like their names? Can their power reach a thousand or ten thousand miles?"

Huang Long glanced at him and shook his head. "Not yet. What are you thinking, Poison Douluo? I'm only an ordinary soul master right now."

"With my current cultivation, I can affect at most a hundred meters in every direction."

"To truly achieve what their names describe and expand their range to thousands or tens of thousands of miles, I'd need to at least reach the Titled Douluo level."

"That makes sense!"

Only then did Dugu Bo let out a sigh of relief.

The kid did not look very old, and his cultivation was probably only around Rank 30 at most.

If he had truly gained such heaven-defying divine skills, then no one else would be able to survive on Douluo Continent in the future.

Xiao Wu giggled. "But no matter what, Dragon God's strength has risen by a huge amount again!"

Dugu Yan stepped closer, her face full of curiosity. "Huang Long, I've always wanted to ask—what rank is your soul power now?"

"Why did your martial soul suppress us to the ground earlier, leaving us completely unable to move?"

"Me? I'm Rank 56 now." Huang Long smiled.

Before leaving Sea God Island, he had just obtained his fifth soul ring and had indeed only been Rank 53.

But after arriving at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum he consumed had increased his soul power by three ranks, bringing him to Rank 56.

Even so, it was enough to leave Dugu Bo, Dugu Yan, and the others utterly shocked.

"What? Rank 56?"

Dugu Bo's eyes widened. "Kid, don't brag! You're Rank 56 at your age?"

A teasing curve appeared at the corner of Huang Long's lips. He immediately circulated his soul power and summoned his martial soul through Martial Soul Possession.

As dragon wings unfolded and golden scales covered his entire body, two purple and three black soul rings slowly rose from beneath his feet.

The instant Dugu Bo saw those five soul rings, he jumped up in fright.

"Five rings! A Soul King!"

Dugu Yan's eyes nearly fell out at the heaven-defying combination of soul ring ages.

"A thousand-year first soul ring! A ten-thousand-year third soul ring!"

Hearing her cry, Dugu Bo also noticed the extraordinary soul ring configuration.

His face filled with horror as he asked, "Kid, are those soul rings real?"

"Of course they're real. Do I need to lie to you?" Huang Long said with a smile.

Sea Dragon Douluo added at the right moment, "From the moment the Holy Son awakened his martial soul, his Innate Soul Power was already Rank 20. His physical strength was also comparable to that of a Soul Elder, so a thousand-year first soul ring is perfectly normal."

Dugu Bo was so astonished that he could no longer speak.

In his understanding, Innate Soul Power reaching Rank 10 was already an unparalleled talent.

Innate Soul Power of Rank 20—just how shocking must that talent be?

No wonder the kid had reached Rank 50 at such a young age.

The moment he awakened his Martial Soul, he had already reached the realm his granddaughter had needed five years of arduous cultivation to attain.

"Good lad. In this life, there's no one else I, Dugu Bo, admire—only you."

At that point, his tone suddenly shifted. "But talent alone won't do. You just acquired two soul bones, didn't you? How about this old man accompanies you for some practice?"

Dugu Yan frowned slightly and looked at her grandfather suspiciously. "Grandpa, you're not planning to deliberately beat up Huang Long, are you?"

"Ahem! Yanyan, don't talk nonsense!"

As though she had struck a nerve, Dugu Bo's old face instantly flushed red.

He would never admit that he truly wanted to beat this brat up.

Whether it was what had happened last night or what had just happened, both had nearly made this Titled Douluo lose all face.

If he didn't beat him up, he would never be able to let it go!

But if they really fought, the two Titled Douluos beside him were no pushovers.

Using sparring as an excuse was simply perfect!

Dugu Bo said, "I'll only use my first five soul rings. I won't use the last four at all."

"So, brat, do you dare fight me?"

The moment he finished speaking, Sea Maiden Douluo suddenly burst out laughing.

"Dugu Bo, I suggest you don't underestimate the Holy Son too much."

"What?" Dugu Bo frowned slightly, sensing some hidden meaning in the woman's laughter.

Huang Long stepped forward with a smile. "With Poison Douluo personally offering guidance, of course I couldn't ask for more."

"But don't suppress your strength all the way down to Soul King level. Soul Sage level should be about right."

"Are you serious, brat?" Dugu Bo's face was full of suspicion.

Huang Long nodded lightly. "Of course I am. But simply fighting like this would be a little boring. How about adding some stakes?"

"If I defeat Your Excellency, then Your Excellency will join us."

"If I lose, I'll tell Your Excellency about the method I know to increase one's cultivation."

"Good. It's a deal!"

Dugu Bo agreed without the slightest hesitation.

If it had been the previous condition, he might have hesitated somewhat.

After all, this brat's Martial Soul looked incredibly powerful, capable of suppressing even him, a Titled Douluo, so thoroughly.

If he fought using only the strength of a Soul King, wouldn't that be walking straight into a trap?

But using Soul Sage-level strength was different.

The greatest difference between a Soul Sage and an ordinary soul master was the Martial Soul Avatar.

He refused to believe that this brat could truly defeat him.

Huang Long, however, gave a crafty smile and turned to Sea Dragon Douluo. "Uncle Sea Dragon, you be the referee."

"Alright."

Sea Dragon Douluo nodded in agreement, then raised his right hand and shouted, "Everyone, please retreat one hundred meters to avoid accidental injury!"

At his words, Sea Maiden Douluo led Dugu Yan and Xiao Wu back at least two hundred meters.

Sea Dragon Douluo also moved to the side, leaving the entire field to Dugu Bo and Huang Long.

After looking at the two of them, he waved a hand and shouted, "Begin!"

Dugu Bo immediately summoned the Jade Phosphorus Snake Emperor through Martial Soul Possession.

After being repaired by the Jade Dragon Snake Orchid, his Martial Soul was even larger than before, and every scale on its body gleamed with a metallic luster.

"Brat, don't say this old man is bullying the young. I'll let you have three moves first!"

"Then Your Excellency is bound to lose."

Huang Long grinned. Then he stepped forward, shooting ahead like a cannonball and leaving behind nothing but a deep footprint.

He was incredibly fast, sweeping over the grass like a gale.

When he was still five steps away from Dugu Bo, he suddenly sprang from the ground and raised his right hand.

"Second Soul Skill, Geng Metal Dragon Claw!"

As the second soul ring beneath his feet emitted a dazzling glow, the dragon claws on both his hands shone with platinum light, giving off an incomparably sharp aura.

Dugu Bo's originally calm and relaxed expression changed drastically the instant he sensed the sharpness within that platinum light!
