Crushing Defeat
Faced with the incoming Lei Guang, Xiao Lin decisively used a defensive Dou Technique.
Fortunately, the Thunder Great Axe's power was greatly weakened after shattering the Starlight Great Seal, and even after exploding, it failed to break through the Star-Devouring Jade's defense.
The thunder was swallowed up by the Light Curtain.
"I sensed the power of the stars in your Dou Techniques! However, your current strength is too weak to fully unleash the power of this special Dou Qi!"
Seeing that Xiao Lin had blocked his attack, Mang Tianchi commented.
It must be said that Mang Tianchi's assessment was quite accurate.
In fact, Xiao Lin himself sensed that the power of the Astral Dou Qi should be even greater than that.
You must know, this power comes from the countless stars in the sky!
It's definitely not just the "Ten Thousand Arts Immunity" characteristic that Xiao Lin knows about now.
However, he is currently only Dou Venerable, and only Low-Level Dou Venerable. He clearly has a long way to go before he can fully understand the Astral Power.
"Dean, I've learned a lot. I will continue to develop Astral Dou Qi! Again!"
After expressing his gratitude to Mang Tianchi, Xiao Lin resumed his fighting stance.
He's only just begun; he won't give up so easily.
"Astral Dou Qi, huh? That's quite fitting. Well then, let's continue!"
Having already decided to give Xiao Lin some proper guidance, Mang Tianchi showed no intention of ending the battle immediately.
Otherwise, with the Nine-Transformation Peak Dou Venerable Mang Tianchi, Xiao Lin's current strength, which is at most enough to fight against High-Level Dou Venerable, would probably not even be able to withstand a single blow from the opponent!
It should be understood that for Nine-Transformation Peak Dou Venerable to fight Nine-Star Dou Venerable is like a father beating his son, let alone Xiao Lin's current strength, which can only barely contend with High-Level Dou Venerable.
"God-Slaying Finger!"
The battle resumed, and Xiao Lin pointed in the direction of Mang Tianchi.
Suddenly, a streak of starlight pierced the Void and appeared before Mang Tianchi in the blink of an eye.
"Slap"
However, this time, Mang Tianchi did not use Dou Techniques. He simply covered the surface of his right hand with Thunder Dou Qi and slapped away the God-Slaying Finger.
"The gap is still quite large indeed!"
Seeing this, Xiao Lin couldn't help but sigh.
But he was not discouraged.
Rather, he had anticipated this scene long before he challenged Mang Tianchi.
Finally, Xiao Lin decided to start using his strengths.
What advantages does Xiao Lin have when facing Mang Tianchi?
That would naturally be the Soul Power in the Mid-Heavenly Realm!
The invisible Soul Power was controlled by Xiao Lin.
Then, Xiao Lin condensed his Soul Power into a needle and pierced it into Mang Tianchi's mind.
Xiao Lin doesn't know any Soul Dou Techniques, but his Soul Power is strong enough that he can naturally make bricks fly with great force.
Therefore, condensing one's own Soul Power into a needle is an easy feat to accomplish.
However, Mang Tianchi is different from any opponent Xiao Lin has faced before.
The opponent not only possesses the Nine-Transformation Peak Dou Venerable, but also the Soul Power of the Spirit Realm Peak!
Even though his Soul Power wasn't as strong as Xiao Lin's, it was still sufficient for defense.
Not to mention Mang Tianchi, who comes from the Lei Clan, one of the Eight Great Emperor Clans, how could he not have studied Soul Power?
Even if the Lei Clan's research on the soul is not as advanced as the Hun Clan's, it still far surpasses most Dou Sheng who are not from the Eight Great Emperor Clans.
Therefore, when Xiao Lin condensed his Soul Power into a needle and pierced it, Mang Tianchi immediately transformed his Soul Power into a wall, blocking it in front of his sea of consciousness.
"Buzz~"
Invisible ripples spread out.
Xiao Lin's attack, launched at the soul level, was blocked by Mang Tianchi.
It's clear that Xiao Lin is inferior to Mang Tianchi in the application of Soul Power.
"Oh, it still doesn't work?"
After several attempts, seeing that he still couldn't break through Mang Tianchi's soul defense, Xiao Lin had no choice but to give up.
This left him quite helpless.
It's fair to say that Xiao Lin was completely dominated by Mang Tianchi throughout the entire encounter!
"Your Soul Power is strong, but you use it too crudely."
7
This is a comment from Mang Tianchi.
Xiao Lin was also aware of this.
After all, he was a latecomer to the world of magic, and it was only by chance that he obtained the Heavenly Realm Soul Power when he awakened his innate Past-Life Wisdom.
However, when it comes to the application of Soul Power, Xiao Lin is clearly unqualified.
His Soul Power can still be effective when facing opponents weaker than him.
But in front of Mang Tianchi, his Soul Power was no different from a decoration.
Therefore, after the attempt failed, Xiao Lin also gave up on the plan to attack Mang Tianchi simply with his Soul Power.
However, Xiao Lin's Soul Power still has other uses.
Sure enough, the next second, he began to use his Mid-Heavenly Realm Soul Power to strengthen his Dou Qi!
Subsequently, in Mang Tianchi's perception, Xiao Lin's Dou Qi intensity directly started from Three-Star Dou Venerable and soared all the way up.
"Good heavens, what an enviable soul strength! He's only Three-Star Dou Venerable, but he feels like he's on par with Eight-Star Dou Venerable!"
Looking at the changes that had taken place in Xiao Lin, Mang Tianchi said with no small amount of envy.
In other words, after strengthening himself with his Soul Power, Xiao Lin is now equivalent to an Eight-Star Dou Venerable!
"Dean, I'm here!"
After strengthening himself, Xiao Lin immediately launched an attack on Mang Tianchi.
"Stellar Hand Seal!"
A colossal hand, shimmering with endless starlight, descended from the sky!
"Thunderous Force!"
A sea of lightning appeared, piercing through the Starry Sky.
In the end, it was Xiao Lin who managed to block it Star-Devouring Jade.
Seeing that simply using Astral Dou Qi was ineffective against Mang Tianchi, Xiao Lin began to use his Earth Attribute Dou Techniques.
"The Earth Dragon Roll!"
"Mountain-Breaking Seal!"
Two consecutive Earth Attribute Dou Techniques were hurled at Mang Tianchi.
"Desolate Thunder Dragon!"
Thunder Dragon appeared and devoured everything.
It even shattered Xiao Lin's Star-Devouring Jade.
Subsequently, Xiao Lin continued to dodge using the Seven-Star Void Steps until he finally exhausted the Thunder Dragon's remaining power.
After that, Xiao Lin began to continuously use Star Dou Techniques and Earth Attribute Dou Techniques to try to attack Mang Tianchi.
However, the results were still minimal.
Moreover, this is under the condition that the Bu Tianchi retains most of its strength.
In the end, the challenge initiated by Xiao Lin lasted for about two hours before it finally came to an end.
As for the final result, Xiao Lin was exhausted of his Dou Qi, lying on the ground panting, not wanting to move an inch.
Mang Tianchi, on the other hand, only had a little dust on his clothes, and remained completely calm and composed.
It's no exaggeration to say that this was a crushing defeat for Xiao Lin!
In fact, Mang Tianchi deliberately attacked Xiao Lin until he exhausted all his fighting Dou Qi.
Otherwise, Xiao Lin wouldn't have lasted this long at all.
It has to be said that the gap between Xiao Lin and Mang Tianchi is still far too huge!
Of course, this battle also made Xiao Lin realize his own limitations.
He has a long way to go!
