Three Conditions (2)
As Dugu Bo leaped out of the forest, everyone's pupils involuntarily contracted.
Nine soul rings!
A Titled Douluo!
Liu Erlong, who had never met Dugu Bo, reacted relatively well.
She merely summoned her Martial Soul.
The Fire Dragon roared toward the sky.
Eight rings against nine did not necessarily mean there was no chance of battle.
Dragon-type Martial Souls possessed the highest quality and greatest average strength among all Beast Spirits. They even held the superior's suppression over inferior Beast Spirits of certain races. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family had not secured its place among the Three Upper Sects, nor earned the title of the world's strongest Beast Spirit, through empty boasts. They had fought their way there with their fists and feet!
Liu Erlong was Yu Luomian's illegitimate daughter.
Her Martial Soul was likewise the mutated Fire Dragon.
Its suppression over certain Beast Spirits remained intact.
Not to mention that she had cultivated Stellar Martial Arts.
Although she was stuck at the Tendons and Bones Chapter, her Fire Dragon Martial Soul gave her tremendous potential to excavate in the Dragon Tendon Phoenix Vein. She had been excavating it for a year and a half already and would need at least another year and a half. By the time she finished, her Soul Power would likely be close to Rank 90. Therefore, if the Titled Douluo before them possessed a Beast Spirit and had not surpassed Rank 95 in Soul Power, she was confident she could contend with him using her Rank 84 Soul Power.
More importantly, she knew that Ye Qingcang possessed a Tier 9 Soul Tool—the Death God Tower!
Blue Tyrant Academy truly had the strength to tell a Titled Douluo "no"!
Yet the Shrek group, led by Flender, looked exceptionally despairing.
They had seen this Poison Douluo at Heaven Dou Royal Academy before.
At the time, this Poison Douluo had not seen through Xiao Wu's true form.
But that might not be the case now.
"No, perhaps he saw through it back then..." Ning Rongrong glanced at Dugu Bo and shattered Xiao Wu's faint hope with a cruel fact. "If he hadn't seen through it, he wouldn't have chased her all the way to Blue Tyrant Academy!"
Xiao Wu's face turned deathly pale.
She had truly witnessed the dangers of the human world!
Seriously, how could there be such a pathetic man?
I'm just a 100,000-Year Transformed Spirit Beast!
I never ate your rice. Did you really have to stalk me?
"Xiao Wu..." Tang San forced himself upright and summoned the only Martial Soul he could still use, Blue Silver Grass. The Clear Sky Hammer was actually still within his body, but it had suffered severe damage and could not be summoned for the moment. He looked at Xiao Wu with what he believed to be sincerity. "I once said that if anyone wanted to hurt you, they would have to step over my corpse first!"
Xiao Wu silently backed away two steps.
She avoided Tang San's gaze, which made her skin crawl.
Now, she dared not trust anyone.
Dugu Bo had taught her a lesson.
All she wanted now was some peace and quiet.
"Come stand behind me..." Seeing the fearless Xiao Wu's shell shattered, turning her into a soft, timid Little Rabbit, Ning Rongrong struggled inwardly. But in the end, she still extended a hand to Xiao Wu. "I don't know whom you'll trust. From your perspective, Yu Xiaogang's assessment of me is absolutely not without reason. However, I want to tell you that I don't have those intentions, and this Poison Douluo would never dare lay a hand on me!"
"Blindly arrogant confidence." Ye Qingcang stood farther forward than Liu Erlong, facing the five powerhouses who had released their Martial Soul Avatars: Dugu Bo's Jade Phosphor True Body, Liu Erlong's Fire Dragon True Body, Flender's Cat Eagle True Body, Zhao Wuji's Vajra True Body, and Shao Xin's Sugar Bean True Body. Without even turning his head, he criticized Ning Rongrong. With just one blunt truth, he left her speechless. "For the sake of a single 100,000-Year Transformed Spirit Beast, Spirit Hall once dared to go to war with the Haotian Sect. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family were dragged into it as well. Now that another 100,000-Year Transformed Spirit Beast has appeared, even if the Sword Douluo or Bone Douluo of your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect were here, it would not end without a Titled Douluo dying. Much less when neither your sect's Sword Douluo nor Bone Douluo is present. Kill you, then pin the blame on Blue Tyrant Academy, and that would become another unsolvable mess!"
Ye Qingcang's words made perfect sense.
But sense was not what Ning Rongrong needed.
Nor was it what Xiao Wu needed.
It was even less what Shrek needed.
Yet amid this tense, sword-drawn atmosphere, Ning Rongrong noticed something strange. "Why aren't you nervous at all?"
"Why should I be nervous?"
"Do you understand the essence of Soul Power?"
"Do you understand the essence of soul rings and soul skills?"
At some point, Ye Qingcang had removed the Nine Sons of the Dragon bracelet from his wrist again and was rolling it in his hand. He admired the hundred-meter-long Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul Avatar, glittering like jade. Wisps of translucent, milky-white vapor curled around him, then erupted like a tsunami in the next instant, forming a pure-white field more than a thousand meters in radius!
Whether it was the Martial Soul Avatars of Liu Erlong and the others or Dugu Bo's Martial Soul Avatar, all were forcibly sealed back into their bodies under the influence of this field. Even their soul skills were sealed along with them!
In an instant, everyone's attention turned toward Ye Qingcang, who had released this field. Dugu Bo and Yu Xiaogang cried out in disbelief, "A domain?"
"You have some knowledge, at least." Ye Qingcang slowly rolled the bracelet in his hand. His footsteps were clearly light, yet they sounded like a massive siege ram smashing against a city gate, each step seeming to hammer against everyone's hearts.
"I understood the diversity of species long ago."
"Some people just go looking to be beaten."
"Speak to them properly, and they refuse to listen."
"Beat them up once, and they become completely obedient."
"I truly can't understand this sort of lowlife, because I can't understand where the arrogance and contempt in their eyes comes from. Could it be that after staring at the sky from the bottom of a well for too long, they think the world is nothing more than this?"
"I'm not someone who likes to obsess over dead ends. Since I know I can't understand such people, I won't bother trying. I respect these lowlifes' preferences, but I won't wrong myself just to respect them."
"Blue Tyrant Academy is my home."
"I have walked every inch of this land."
"If you people were making such a spectacle outside my home, I'd only carry a melon over to watch. But if it happens inside my home, and one careless roll crushes a patch of forest, smashes countless trees and rocks, destroys scenery I enjoy, and disrupts so many students, then I cannot stand by and do nothing."
"This domain is called Slaughter."
"It has another form, called God of Slaughter."
"The God of Slaughter Domain weakens opponents and strengthens its user."
"But the Slaughter Domain's effect is very simple: it seals the opponent's soul skills."
"Including the soul skills attached to soul bones."
At that, Ye Qingcang slowly raised his eyes.
Those utterly calm black eyes
made Dugu Bo shudder involuntarily.
"If I remember correctly, every Soul Master's seventh soul skill is a Martial Soul Avatar..." Ye Qingcang's smile was refreshing, but to Dugu Bo, Liu Erlong, Flender, and every Soul Master who understood what the Slaughter Domain's effects meant, it was simply a demon's smile. "Next comes the battle between a Soul Tool Master and a martial artist. Respected Poison Douluo, you now have four choices. One, I beat you to death with my fists. Two, I beat you up with my fists, then you become my dog. Three, I blast you into scraps with my Tier 9 Soul Tool. Four, you wisely give up resisting beneath my Tier 9 Soul Tool and become my dog. I gave you four choices only because you are a Titled Douluo. At this point, don't even think about walking away unscathed. Courtesy before force—I've always been very particular about that, haven't I?"
What the hell is a Titled Douluo? Titled Douluos are exactly what I beat!
