Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo Fled in Defeat? Li Qingshan Broke Through to Level 97!

The two had just regained their footing when they simultaneously groaned and spat out a mouthful of blood!

Yue Guan's clothes were instantly stained red, and bloodstains also appeared on the lower edge of his Gui Mei mask, causing the black mist around him to dissipate somewhat.

The pain from the mental attack hadn't subsided, and their Martial Soul Fusion had been forcibly interrupted. Where did they find the confidence to continue fighting?

Yue Guan looked up at Li Qingshan and suddenly remembered what the other party had said earlier.

"Level 99, the Love Sword Douluo?!"

He had thought those words were incredibly arrogant just moments before, but now he dared not deny them so easily. After all, even when he and Old Ghost joined forces, they couldn't even force out the opponent's ninth Soul Skill!

This is enough to prove that the opponent's strength is far superior to his own! It's even very likely that he is indeed Level 99 Limit Douluo!

"Walk!"

Yue Guan suppressed his surging blood and qi, and let out a low shout.

Upon hearing this, Gui Mei did not hesitate. His Third Soul Ring lit up, and black mist suddenly rose up, enveloping the two figures as they quickly retreated into the depths of the dense forest!

A flash of golden light.

The two of them leaped over the treetops and disappeared into the distance in the blink of an eye.

Li Qingshan paused slightly as he raised his sword. He glanced behind him and saw that Dugu Bo's Eighth Soul Ring was still slowly closing, clearly still one step away from completion.

If they chase after him now, and any other Soul Beast get close, Yu Xiaogang alone won't be able to protect Dugu Bo.

Li Qingshan sheathed his sword and did not give chase.

Just then, a familiar golden Light Curtain slowly unfolded before his eyes.

[The host once again publicly declares his identity: Level 99 Limit Douluo, Title: Love Sword.]

[Yue Guan and Gui Mei have come to believe in the host's identity; the Reality Progress increases by 4%. Reality Progress 94%.]

[Reward received: Soul Power increased by two levels!]

Looking at the system panel, a hint of joy appeared in Li Qingshan's eyes. The progress had previously stopped at ninety percent, but now it had finally moved forward a bit more.

Having personally fought against Li Qingshan and witnessed his strength, Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo finally began to believe in the claim of him being a Level 99 Limit Douluo to some extent.

"His Soul Power has actually reached level ninety-seven!"

"It wasn't a wasted effort."

He put away the panel, dispersed the Bone Armor, and returned to the barrier.

Yu Xiaogang gazed in the direction the two had fled and asked softly, "Teacher, will they come back?"

"Probably not for now."

Li Qingshan spread his Spiritual Power outwards to confirm that there were no other presences nearby before continuing, "Once your junior brother wakes up, we'll leave this place."

Yu Xiaogang nodded, picked up Sanpao, and sat back down beside him.

A few more moments passed.

The illusory image of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent behind Dugu Bo suddenly raised its head, and the last wisp of black light merged into its body, finally stabilizing the Eighth Soul Ring!

A Soul Power significantly stronger than before slowly emanated from his body.

Soul Douluo!

Dugu Bo felt the surging power within him and clenched his hands.

With the residual poison that had trapped him for years under control, and now having obtained his Eighth Soul Ring, he can finally continue on this path of cultivation.

He opened his eyes, and a look of joy appeared on his face, but his gaze suddenly stopped.

Several ancient trees on the bank were broken, the ground was crisscrossed with sword marks, and a deep trench had been cleaved open not far away. This place didn't look like this before I closed my eyes.

"Teacher, someone was here just now?"

"People from the Spirit Hall," Li Qingshan explained calmly. "Yue Guan and Gui Mei, these two Titled Douluo, are on Qian Xunji's orders to capture us and take us to Spirit City."

Dugu Bo's joy vanished instantly, and he said in a deep voice, "Chrysanthemum and Ghost?"

Yu Xiaogang continued, "They've already become Titled Douluo. They attacked the teacher together just now, but he repelled them all."

Dugu Bo was startled, then stood up and bowed, "Thank you for your trouble, teacher."

Li Qingshan reached out and helped him up.

"Protecting you is what I, as your teacher, should do."

He glanced at the Soul Ring surrounding Dugu Bo and chuckled, "Tell me first what your Eighth Soul Skill is called and what its function is?"

Upon hearing this, joy reappeared in Dugu Bo's eyes, and he said solemnly, "My Eighth Soul Skill is called Time Freeze!"

He raised his right hand, and a wisp of green light shimmered between his fingers.

"After casting, it can temporarily freeze things within a certain range. The opponent's movements and incoming attacks will be affected."

"And I am still able to move, so I can take this opportunity to continue the attack."

Yu Xiaogang's eyes lit up, and he asked:

"It can even freeze attacks launched by Soul Skill?"

Dugu Bo nodded, then added, "It's just that it consumes a lot of energy; with my current Soul Power, I can't maintain it for long."

Li Qingshan nodded slightly.

This Eighty Thousand Year Soul Ring was definitely the right choice.

"Try narrowing the scope."

As he spoke, he pointed lightly to the open space beside him, and a wisp of silver-white sword energy shot out.

Dugu Bo took a deep breath, Eighth Soul Ring suddenly lit up!

"Eighth Soul Skill: Time Freeze!"

The emerald light spread, and the sword energy that had just flown out stopped in mid-air. The fallen grass and the fine dust stirred up by the wind also hung there!

Dugu Bo stepped closer, his movements unaffected.

Yu Xiaogang held his breath as he watched.

Only after Dugu Bo withdrew his Soul Power did the grass leaves fall again, and the silver-white sword energy continued forward, only to be dispersed by Li Qingshan raising his hand.

After a brief display of his skills, Dugu Bo's breathing became heavier.

"Controlling your opponent, combined with your poison, is indeed effective." Li Qingshan looked at him and said seriously, "However, you can't just focus on immobilizing them; you also need to preserve your Soul Power to continue attacking."

"Disciple understands."

Dugu Bo nodded solemnly.

Li Qingshan retracted the barrier, glanced in the direction Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo had fled, and said, "Let's go, let's get out of here first."

At the same time.

The original Douluo Continent, specifically the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

"Boom!"

A massive Thunder struck the mountainside, sending a shower of rocks tumbling down!

Chen Xin stepped on the Sword Light, and the Seven Kill Sword slashed horizontally, forcing Bibi Dong into the air. Yu Yuanzhen followed closely behind, his palm covered with Dragon Scales and wrapped in lightning, and suddenly grabbed her shoulder!

Bibi Dong crossed her spider legs to block the sword's edge, but the Thorn Spider Armor on her body emitted a piercing crackling sound amidst the lightning.

She snorted coldly, flipped over and landed on the other side, and Purple Spider Web opened up, blocking the two's pursuit route.

Below, Ning Fengzhi held the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda in his hands, sending out several beams of amplifying colored light. His gaze remained fixed on Chen Xin and Yu Yuanzhen, not daring to be distracted for even a moment.

On the other side, Dugu Bo was also driven to a point of rage.

Gui Mei circled the rock wall, searching for an opportunity, while Yue Guan relentlessly attacked with flower petals, forcing them away from Ning Fengzhi.

Just as Dugu Bo dispersed the golden light, pebbles began to fall on the Herb Garden from above. His expression changed drastically, and he quickly used his Soul Power to sweep the pebbles away.

"Chrysanthemum Guan, do you intend to destroy this entire place?!"

"Then get out of my way!" Yue Guan sneered, and golden light shone again in his palm.

How could Dugu Bo possibly back down?

If he were to concede even slightly, Ning Fengzhi would face a Gui Mei attack. Once the amplification effect of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was interrupted, the two people above would also be immediately affected.

But it's equally impossible for him to just stand by and watch the Herb Garden be destroyed!

The Sky Screen above was still changing.

In another world, the young Dugu Bo had already put away his Soul Ring and left the pool with Li Qingshan. However, at this moment, none of the people in the valley had the mind to look up and take a closer look.

Sword Light, Thunder, poisonous mist, and golden flower blades collided one after another, shearing away several sections of the once intact mountain wall, and even the water vapor above the two-colored springs was shaken and surged violently!
