Dugu Bo watched the platinum-glowing claw come crashing down on him and instantly turned pale with fright, completely forgetting his promise to yield three moves.

"Fourth Soul Skill: Jade Phosphorus Shield!"

He hastily activated the skill of his fourth soul ring. The dark green Soul Power around him transformed into the phantom of a massive Jade Phosphorus Snake Emperor, coiling around him protectively.

But the very next second—

"Whoosh—!"

The platinum claw mark swept through, its momentum unstoppable.

With a crisp "crack,"

the shield formed by his fourth soul skill was as fragile as paper beneath the dragon claw and shattered instantly!

Violent force exploded before Dugu Bo, knocking him three or four steps backward.

"Good lad! That move really is impressive!"

Dugu Bo quickly steadied himself. When he looked up, his eyes had become incomparably serious.

At that moment, he no longer regarded Huang Long as a child, but as an opponent who needed to be taken seriously.

"Second Soul Skill, Jade Phosphorus Snake Venom!"

A phantom of a gigantic snake head appeared behind him, opening its jaws to spew out a dense dark green poisonous mist.

The pungent mist swiftly spread across the field. Wherever it passed, the weeds on the ground blackened and withered.

Seeing this, Xiao Wu immediately shouted, "Uncle, you're cheating! Didn't you say you'd give Dragon God three moves?"

Dugu Bo's old face darkened, but he pretended not to hear her.

As long as he did not hear it, it was the same as no one having objected.

"Boy, this old man has cultivated this poison art for forty or fifty years. This poison is not something Yanyan's poison can compare to. You'd best be careful."

Huang Long merely grinned as his third soul ring erupted with dazzling black light.

"Third Soul Skill, Wind Control Technique!"

"Wind Wall!"

He lightly swept a hand through the air before him, and a violent gale howled forth, condensing into an invisible wall in front of him.

The instant the dark green poisonous mist touched the wind wall, it was completely blocked outside by the flowing gale.

"What?"

Dugu Bo froze.

Huang Long once again activated his fourth soul skill, Water Control Technique.

With a raised hand, he condensed countless water arrows, densely suspended in the air.

"Go."

At his soft shout, the water arrows shot out like a torrential downpour, raining down upon Dugu Bo!

Dugu Bo's pupils contracted sharply. He hurriedly activated his soul skill as well, condensing the dark green poisonous mist into poison arrows to meet them head-on!

Water arrows and poison arrows collided repeatedly in midair, producing a constant series of "bang, bang, bang" sounds.

But what shocked Dugu Bo was that only the poison arrows he had fired were disappearing.

That brat's water arrows were completely unscathed, and they were even continuing to descend toward him in neat rows!

He hurriedly raised both hands and spread a Soul Power shield before himself, blocking the water arrows.

"Hm?"

Dugu Bo saw that when those water arrows struck his shield, they actually froze into ice!

Could this brat be...

Dugu Bo's gaze darkened as he swiftly looked toward Huang Long's left hand.

Huang Long's left hand was glowing with icy blue light.

Dugu Bo immediately understood.

Just as expected!

That brat had used a soul bone skill earlier!

He had used the soul bone's Ice Element Control to coat the water arrows in a layer of ice, allowing them to block his poison arrows.

Dugu Bo grinned, feeling somewhat impressed by Huang Long.

He had only just obtained a soul bone, yet he could already apply it to his own soul skills. This brat's comprehension was truly excellent!

However, defeating this old man would not be so easy!

Dugu Bo snorted, then activated the skill of his sixth soul ring, transforming the poisonous mist into a giant serpent that surged forward!

"Fifth Soul Skill, Earth Bears All Things."

"Earth Wall, rise!"

Huang Long raised a hand and waved, and an earthen wall suddenly rose before him, blocking the giant snake's charge.

Then came a loud boom.

Although the earthen wall had stopped the giant snake's charge, it was still smashed apart by the impact.

But Dugu Bo was completely dumbfounded.

"What was that?"

"An earthen wall. Does Your Excellency not recognize it?" Huang Long spread his wings and flew into the sky, replying with a smile.

Dugu Bo shot him an annoyed glare and shouted, "Of course I recognize it! But what kind of mess are these soul skills of yours?"

"First a wind wall, then water arrows, then an earthen wall! What attribute is your martial soul, exactly?"

"Your Excellency can take a guess." Huang Long grinned, and golden-red light bloomed from his right hand.

Blazing flames sprang from his palm, swiftly taking the shape of a long, slender flaming spear.

Holding the flaming spear, Huang Long gave a powerful beat of his dragon wings and dove downward like an arrow released from the bowstring!

Dugu Bo gave an unconvinced snort and activated his soul skill once more.

But he never expected just how passive the battle ahead would leave him.

This brat had an absurd number of soul skills. One after another, all kinds of skills emerged without end, forcing him back step by step.

One moment, Huang Long would suddenly condense wind blades and catch him off guard.

The next, he would suddenly form a waterspout that blocked every one of his attacks.

He would even occasionally spit out a burst of flames, nearly setting Dugu Bo's clothes on fire!

At times, Dugu Bo also had to guard against the flaming spear in his hand.

Dugu Bo had never imagined that a soul master could possess so many soul skills.

What made it even harder for him to remain calm was that after using so many skills, this brat showed no sign of fatigue whatsoever.

"Go, Lord Dragon God! Defeat that old man!" Seeing that Huang Long had firmly gained the upper hand, Xiao Wu jumped about excitedly.

Dugu Yan was also left staring in shock.

"Is he really only a five-ring Soul King?"

She had followed her grandfather, Dugu Bo, since childhood, and after growing up, she had entered Heaven Dou Royal Academy, where she had seen far too many geniuses.

Yet she had never seen a genius this formidable!

Even at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, even Yu Tianheng, who was hailed as the greatest genius, would not have been his match.

Sea Maiden Douluo smiled. "The Holy Son is far more than a mere five-ring Soul King. Since childhood, the Holy Son has followed the High Priest and learned many practical combat techniques from us as well."

"If you treat the Holy Son as an ordinary Soul King, then you will be the only one to suffer."

At the same time, Dugu Bo saw that, despite being a Titled Douluo and suppressing his strength to the Soul Sage realm, he still could not do anything to Huang Long.

More importantly, his granddaughter was watching from the side.

To hell with it. No matter what, he had to beat this brat today. Otherwise, how could he ever hold his head up before his granddaughter again?

With that thought, Dugu Bo circulated his Soul Power with all his might and summoned his Martial Soul Avatar.

In an instant, he transformed into a massive jade-green snake over thirty meters long and as thick as a water vat.

"Brat, we've fought long enough. Now try this move of mine!"

Facing the Jade Phosphorus Snake Emperor, which was over thirty meters long, Huang Long was not afraid in the slightest. Instead, he became eager to try.

"Good! Then let Your Excellency have a look at this move of mine as well."

"Dragon Spear!"

He poured all of his Soul Power into the flaming spear in his right hand.

The instant the spear thrust out, blazing flames surged forth, transforming into a true dragon that dove toward the jade-green serpent!

One dragon, one snake.

They collided violently in midair.

With a thunderous bang, green and red light intertwined in the sky, dazzling and brilliant.

Wave after wave of residual force spread outward, as rings of air rapidly expanded in all directions with the two of them at the center!

Seeing this, Sea Dragon Douluo and Sea Maiden Douluo immediately pulled Dugu Yan and Xiao Wu behind them, preventing the two girls from being blown away by the shockwave.

Then, the very next second.

Huang Long was the first to be sent flying backward more than ten meters, but he quickly steadied himself in midair with his wings.

Dugu Bo did not escape unscathed either. He was blasted out of the jade-green serpent's body, though he quickly regained his footing on the ground.

From the looks of it, neither side had emerged victorious.
