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, remained relatively composed.

She merely summoned her Martial Soul.

The Fire Dragon let out a roar toward the sky.

Eight rings against nine—she might not necessarily be without a chance.

Dragon-type Martial Souls possessed the highest quality and greatest average strength among all beast Martial Souls. They even held the natural superiority of higher-ranked beings over lower-ranked beings against certain beast Martial Souls. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had earned its place among the Upper Three Sects and been hailed as the number one beast Martial Soul in the world not through empty boasts, but through hard-won battles!

Liu Erlong was Yu Luomian's illegitimate daughter.

Her Martial Soul was also a mutated Fire Dragon.

It still possessed suppressive power against certain beast Martial Souls.

Not to mention that she cultivated the Stellar Martial Path.

Although she was stuck at the Tendons and Bones Chapter, her Fire Dragon Martial Soul gave her tremendous potential in the Dragon Tendon Phoenix Vein. She had already spent a year and a half excavating that potential and would need at least another year and a half. By the time she fully unearthed it, her Soul Power would likely be around Rank 90. Therefore, if the Titled Douluo before them possessed a beast Martial Soul and had not exceeded Rank 95 in Soul Power Level, she was confident she could contend with him at Rank 84.

More importantly, she knew that Ye Qingcang possessed a Ninth Rank Soul Guidance Device—the Death God Tower!

Blue Tyrant Academy truly had the strength to say no to a Titled Douluo!

Yet the Shrek group, led by Flender, looked particularly despairing.

They had seen this Poison Douluo before at Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

At the time, this Poison Douluo had failed to see 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 last sliver of hope with a cruel truth. "If he hadn't, he wouldn't have chased us 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 disgusting man?

I'm just a 100,000-Year Transformed Soul Beast!

I haven't eaten your rice. Did you really have to stalk me?

"Xiao Wu..." Tang San forced himself up and summoned the only Martial Soul he could still use, Blue Silver Grass. In truth, the Clear Sky Hammer was still inside his body, but it had suffered severe damage and could not be summoned for the time being. He looked at Xiao Wu with what he believed was sincerity. "I once said that if anyone wanted to hurt you, they would have to step over my corpse first!"

Xiao Wu silently took two steps back.

She avoided Tang San's gaze, which sent chills down her spine.

Right now, she did not dare trust anyone.

Dugu Bo had taught her a lesson.

So 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. Yet in the end, she still extended her hand toward Xiao Wu. "I don't know who you'll trust. From your perspective, Yu Xiaogang's assessment of me was definitely not entirely unreasonable. However, what I want to tell you is that I do not have such intentions, and this Poison Douluo absolutely would not dare touch me!"

"Blindly arrogant confidence." Ye Qingcang, standing even farther forward than Liu Erlong, did not turn his head as he criticized Ning Rongrong. Before him stood five figures with their Martial Soul Avatars unleashed: Dugu Bo's Azure Serpent 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. With one simple truth, he left Ning Rongrong speechless. "Back then, Spirit Hall even dared wage war on the Haotian School over a single 100,000-Year Transformed Soul Beast. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan were dragged into it as well. Now that another 100,000-Year Transformed Soul Beast has appeared, even if your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Sword Douluo or Bone Douluo were here today, it would not end without the death of at least one Titled Douluo. And neither your Sword Douluo nor Bone Douluo is here. Kill you, then pin the blame on Blue Tyrant Academy—another untraceable mess of debts!"

Ye Qingcang's reasoning was sound.

But reasoning was not what Ning Rongrong needed.

Nor was it what Xiao Wu needed.

It was even less what Shrek needed.

However, amid this tense, drawn-bow 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 idly rolling it in his hand. As he admired the hundred-meter-long Azure Serpent Martial Soul Avatar, which resembled emerald jade, wisps of translucent milky-white vapor swirled around him. The next instant, they surged outward like a tsunami, forming a pure-white field with a radius of more than a thousand meters!

Whether it was Liu Erlong's group's Martial Soul Avatars or Dugu Bo's Martial Soul Avatar, all of them 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 gaze was drawn to Ye Qingcang, the one who had released this field. Dugu Bo and Yu Xiaogang cried out in shock, "A domain?"

"You have some knowledge, at least." Ye Qingcang slowly rolled the bracelet in his hand. Though his footsteps were light, they sounded like a colossal battering ram striking a city gate, each step seeming to hammer against everyone's heart.

"I understood the diversity of species long ago."

"Some people simply go looking for a beating."

"Talk to them properly, and they refuse to listen."

"Beat them up once, and they become completely obedient."

"I truly cannot understand such cheap skins. I cannot understand where their arrogance and contempt for others come from. Have they stared from the bottom of a well for so long that they think the world is no greater than that?"

"I'm not someone who likes to obsess over dead ends. Since I know I cannot understand people like that, I won't bother trying. I respect their cheap-skinned preferences, but I won't wrong myself just because I respect them."

"Blue Tyrant Academy is my home."

"I have walked every inch of this land."

"If someone made a huge show of force and fought outside my home, I would just carry a melon over to watch. But if it happened inside my home—if an occasional roll crushed a patch of forest, smashed countless trees and rocks, ruined scenery I liked, and disturbed so many students—then I cannot simply stand by."

"This domain is called Slaughter."

"It has another form, called Divine Slaughter."

"The Divine Slaughter's Domain weakens opponents and strengthens its user."

"But the Slaughter Domain's effect is very simple: it seals the opponent's soul skills."

"Including 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 their Martial Soul Avatar..." Ye Qingcang's smile was refreshing, but in the eyes of Dugu Bo, Liu Erlong, Flender, and every soul master who understood what the Slaughter Domain meant, it was simply a devil's smile. "Next comes a battle between a Soul Engineer 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 slag with my Ninth Rank Soul Guidance Device. Four, you wisely give up resisting beneath my Ninth Rank Soul Guidance Device and become my dog. I'm only giving you four choices because you are a Titled Douluo. At this point, don't even think about leaving unscathed. Courtesy before force—I have always been a very reasonable man, haven't I?"

A Titled Douluo? What the hell is that? I beat Titled Douluo for a living.
