Explosive King Martial Soul (Please Bookmark and Request More Updates)

The Star Dou Forest.

Beneath the blazing sun, sunlight passed through the dense forest, sifting into countless shafts of light.

It shone on green leaves and glinted off the dew-covered grass, making every blade look fresh and vivid.

A handsome young man with delicate features trudged along with a pack on his back, his steps uneven.

In his hand was an old map of Douluo.

His name was Lin Fan. A transmigrator from Blue Star, he had been on the Douluo Continent for twelve years.

He had awakened the ultimate Ice Phoenix Martial Soul, along with the Daily Check-In System.

His beginner's gift pack had given him the Explosive King Martial Soul: Unrivaled Thief's Mecha from Fruit Force.

He had set out to enroll at Shrek Academy.

Yan Shaozhe had caught sight of his ultimate Ice Phoenix while passing by and insisted that he apply there.

Lin Fan had readily agreed. He had wanted to spend a few easy years at Shrek Academy anyway.

Once he graduated, he could return home as someone with both strength and a Shrek Academy diploma.

"This Star Dou Forest is so far from Shrek Academy! I should've asked Yan Shaozhe to take me."

Lin Fan sighed and leaned against a tree trunk.

He rested for a while.

Then he continued toward Shrek Academy.

Suddenly, a dark shape in the grass made a soft pfft at Lin Fan.

A cloud of pink mist rushed toward his face, carrying an intensely sweet scent and moving fast enough to see.

Lin Fan noticed it at once. One look at the pink mist told him it was dangerous.

He took several wary steps back.

At the same time, he released his Explosive King Martial Soul from his palm, and three rings of light suddenly appeared beneath his feet.

One yellow and two purple Soul Rings revolved around him.

"Croak, croak!"

A strange cry rang out. The dark shape sprang from the grass and hurtled straight at Lin Fan.

Sensing the danger, Lin Fan immediately summoned his Explosive King Martial Soul and roared:

"Explosive King, take your place!"

A streak of light shot into the sky, where a multicolored lotus appeared and bloomed.

Then a Mecha appeared, its head stern, its frame broad and sturdy, its lines smooth and its build compact. Blue and green armor covered it from head to toe.

The cockpit hatch opened. Lin Fan leaped inside and began operating the Explosive King Mecha.

Its single eye flashed with a cold, eerie green light, lending it a grim expression.

Heavy, solid armor covered its left hand. Its massive mechanical fist was clenched tight, metallic light gleaming across the knuckles.

Its right hand was a fearsome lion-mouth cannon. The snarling face was ferocious, with teeth on either side glinting coldly.

Its legs were thick and sturdy, with sharp blades on its feet that looked viciously keen.

A cape billowed behind it in the wind as it descended to the ground.

(It resembled the third-generation Explosive King from the animated series.)

Lin Fan sprang forward, swung his left arm, clenched its fingers into a fist, and drove a straight punch down.

The dark shape sensed danger. It twisted aside in a flash, then sprang forward with its mouth wide open.

Lin Fan shifted left to dodge and quickly swung the lion-mouth cannon on his right arm like a fist.

The blow flew straight toward the dark shape's body, too fast for it to react.

It shrieked. Lin Fan finally saw what the dark shape was.

A thousand-year Mandala Snake. It was three meters long, pink all over, with a flower-like protrusion on its forehead.

Facing a thousand-year Mandala Snake, he did not let down his guard. His expression only grew more serious.

Though he was already a Soul Elder, a thousand-year Soul Beast would still be difficult to handle.

And that was while he was still unfamiliar with operating Explosive King. An ordinary Soul Master might have turned and fled.

"First Soul Skill: Wind Blade Acceleration Fist!"

Lin Fan's first Hundred-Year Soul Ring lit up, and several blue wind blades immediately formed around his fist.

The wind blades spun rapidly like an electric fan. With a rush of air, he punched at the Mandala Snake's head.

Sensing danger, the Mandala Snake blasted out a cloud of pink mist. Its fragrance was ten times stronger than before and spread in every direction.

But it did nothing. The Explosive King Mecha had a filter, and the scent could not get inside.

Crack.

At the sound of breaking bone, the Mandala Snake screamed and thrashed wildly.

It opened its jaws, bared its fangs, and lunged at Lin Fan's foot, a crazed glint in its eyes.

But its fangs could neither pierce nor bite through the Explosive King Mecha. They only scraped against the steel again and again.

Lin Fan bent down and reached out with his left hand. Blue Wind Element gathered as he drove another solid punch straight at the Mandala Snake's head.

Faced with death, the flower-like bump on its head swelled and burst. A jet of pink blood shot straight at Lin Fan.

Lin Fan caught the change. A split second before the flower burst, he teleported to the right and dodged.

The jet of pink blood missed and struck a branch, turning it pink.

He shuddered. If he had blocked the attack and gotten pink blood on himself, he might have turned pink like that branch.

The Mandala Snake was cunning. It quickly twisted its body into the grass, trying to escape.

When Lin Fan saw it flee, he activated his third Soul Skill. His third, thousand-year Soul Ring lit up.

"Third Soul Skill: Windbreaking Instantaneous Fist!"

Blue Wind Element enveloped Lin Fan's body, increasing both his strength and speed by fifty percent.

His feet launched him forward like springs. Closing in on the Mandala Snake, he clenched his left hand, and blue Wind Element gathered around its fist.

He drove a punch from his left arm straight into its body.

The Mandala Snake stared in terror at the enormous figure that had appeared before it in an instant.

It had no way to fight back.

"Hiss!"

The Mandala Snake screeched and convulsed. The punch struck it squarely, deforming its body and driving it into the earth. It lay there unconscious, unable to move.

Lin Fan was delighted. He was growing more familiar with operating Explosive King, and he had knocked out a thousand-year Mandala Snake.

"Ah—"

Suddenly, a scream came from nearby.

Puzzled, Lin Fan looked toward the sound. He decided to investigate first and deal with the Mandala Snake afterward.

Dragging the Mandala Snake behind him, he crushed through the grass step by step toward the source of the scream.

When he arrived, he saw a boy of about eleven. He had a well-proportioned build and wore plain cloth clothes.

The boy had short black hair and a handsome young face. Lin Fan recognized him at once: Huo Yuhao.

A short distance away lay the corpse of a baboon about a meter tall, covered in brown fur.

Its eyes were dark brown, its arms unusually long, and its claws tipped with sharp nails. It was thoroughly dead.

It seemed Huo Yuhao had killed the baboon. By now, he had also obtained the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Electrolux.

No wonder they called Huo Yuhao Huo Gua. He had a fated opportunity waiting for him right from the start. What luck.
