"Hehe, that's a secret!"
At the sight of Du Busi's astonished expression.
Luo Feng smiled.
That was exactly the effect he wanted.
From Luo Feng's perspective, he had pushed time back by five seconds.
But Du Busi hadn't felt a thing.
He even still felt that his movements and attacks had flowed like drifting clouds and running water.
There had been no pauses, and there couldn't possibly have been any openings.
The only explanation was that the boy surnamed Luo before him possessed extraordinary insight.
"You little rascal, it seems you've got quite a few secrets!"
"I'm going to get serious!"
Perhaps he had noticed the strange looks from the spectators around them.
Du Busi suddenly felt he was losing face!
After all, he was the strongest expert in the Heaven Dou Empire.
If he couldn't even take down a junior today.
Who would listen when he gave orders in the future?
"Hum!"
The next instant, nine powerful Soul Rings appeared beneath the old man's feet.
His aura climbed higher and higher.
The giant's phantom looked at least twenty meters tall.
An ordinary person couldn't possibly budge him!
"Senior, didn't we agree you'd only use your Seventh Soul Skill? Are you trying to cheat?"
Seeing Du Busi break his promise.
Luo Feng was speechless too.
Were these people from the Body Sect such sore losers?
"Haha, boy!"
"I just want to see everything you're capable of. Stop holding back and come at me!"
The old fellow was quite good at making excuses.
But if the fight continued like this, Luo Feng really would run out of options.
He couldn't use his killing move, and ordinary Soul Skills couldn't defeat Du Busi in one shot.
After turning it over in his mind, it seemed his only option was the move he had used against Long Aotian!
"Then forgive me for this!"
"Snap!"
The next instant, Luo Feng wasted no time either.
He raised his right hand and snapped his fingers.
[Time Stop]
And so, the entire world fell silent.
Even Du Busi, whose body was still growing taller, stopped moving entirely.
His eyes remained wide as he stared fixedly at Luo Feng on the ground.
"Senior, forgive me!"
"We're all on the same side. Why don't you go cool off on the sidelines for a bit?"
As he spoke, Luo Feng got straight to work.
He tried to grab the enormous man's arm and drag him out of bounds.
But Luo Feng had still underestimated Du Busi's ultimate move.
This fellow's Martial Soul Avatar increased not only his height, but his weight as well.
At over twenty meters tall, Du Busi weighed even more than ten elephants.
Even with the Jade Dragon King's inheritance, Luo Feng wasn't strong enough to drag Du Busi away!
"Well now, looks like I'll have to put some muscle into it!"
He checked which way Du Busi's body was facing.
Luo Feng immediately found a new spot to strike.
The fellow was leaning forward, so he needed a little force from behind.
Pushing with his hands certainly wouldn't work.
He could only kick him.
If he kicked him in the waist, he might injure the senior.
That left just one choice: kick him in the rear.
"Forgive me!"
Once he had found the right angle, Luo Feng didn't hesitate.
Several Soul Rings beneath his feet lit up at once.
He didn't use a Soul Skill, but poured all his Soul Power into his right leg.
Aiming at Du Busi's enormous backside, he delivered a vicious kick!
People always said you must never touch a tiger's backside.
Though Du Busi wasn't a tiger, he was still an incredibly terrifying existence.
If someone kicked him in the rear to his face.
The old man would most likely fly into a rage on the spot and fight them to the death.
But right now, the gigantic Du Busi was like a roly-poly toy.
His backside even had plenty of spring when kicked.
But under the combined effects of the Dragon King's power and stopped time.
The mere rebound of flesh couldn't accomplish much.
"Boom!"
Luo Feng exerted his strength, bolstered by his Soul Rings and Soul Bones.
It felt just like powering a corner kick in from the edge of a soccer field.
He sent the body of the twenty-meter-plus giant flying outright!
Then, without veering to either side, the fellow's body came down and rolled right to the edge of the arena.
Whether it was coincidence or Luo Feng's precise calculations was anyone's guess.
After Du Busi landed, his fingers rested right at his disciple Long Aotian's feet.
But no one was hurt.
"Perfect!"
"Now let's end Time Stop early!"
"Snap!"
Another finger snap rang out.
This time, Time Stop had lasted only forty seconds.
Everything returned to normal.
At the same time, the familiar system notification sounded in Luo Feng's mind.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, on once again using your innate skill in actual combat.] [Your cultivation has been raised to level 78, and you have received another 100,000-year Soul Ring.] [You have also received two 100,000-year Soul Skills.] [The first form of your Seventh Soul Skill is [Jade Dragon King Avatar].]
It could turn his entire body to jade.
It also granted the ability to travel through time and space.
In this state, he was virtually unassailable and could appear anywhere on the battlefield.
[The second form of your Seventh Soul Skill is [Heroic Spirit's Return to the Ruins].]
This was a special Soul Skill.
It had to be used while his Martial Soul Avatar was active.
It had only one effect: resurrecting allies who had previously died in battle, with the maximum number determined by his Soul Power Level.
But some portion of their body had to remain, or the flame of their soul could not have been completely extinguished.
If every trace of them had been erased, the skill would have no effect.
[Since this use of Time Stop has not met the upgrade requirements, its duration and cooldown remain unchanged.]
Good grief!
At the very instant Time Stop ended.
Two more unbelievable Soul Skills popped into Luo Feng's mind.
As the Jade Dragon King's inheritor, it made sense that his Martial Soul Avatar could control both time and space.
But a Soul Skill that brought the dead back to life was far too extraordinary.
It had already transcended the mortal realm.
Because even the God Kings above couldn't reverse the course of life like this.
They could only rely on lengthy reincarnation and rebirth.
But Luo Feng's move would let his fallen comrades get straight back up.
And with their health fully restored, at that.
If a Soul Skill like this appeared in the world.
Never mind the entire Douluo Continent-even the Divine Realm would probably be shaken.
Fortunately, the fighting between the Sun Moon Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire hadn't begun yet.
He wouldn't need this move anytime soon.
"Ugh!"
While a string of information popped into Luo Feng's mind.
Du Busi, who had regained awareness, slowly climbed up from the ground.
The effect of his Martial Soul Avatar ended at the same time.
Just like what had happened to Long Aotian last time.
When Du Busi saw that he was already out of bounds, he froze.
He couldn't make sense of it!
What had just happened?
It felt as though the entire world was fake.
Because his last memory had frozen at the moment he transformed.
Yet when his awareness returned, he was already out of bounds.
But Du Busi was not Long Aotian, after all.
As a level-98 Peak Douluo who had lived for over two hundred years, Du Busi seemed to have an explanation of his own.
"Boy, does this move of yours have something to do with your innate Martial Soul?"
"I know your Martial Soul is the Jade Dragon King, the master of time and space, so my being out of bounds..."
As expected of a veteran expert.
His guess was very accurate, almost touching on the answer.
But seeing Du Busi's embarrassed expression.
Luo Feng didn't answer his question.
Instead, he glanced at the dumbstruck mother and daughter, Nan Shuishui and Nan Qiuqiu, not far away.
"Senior Du Busi, let's not dwell on these little details!"
"According to our earlier agreement, doesn't the Earth Dragon Sect now qualify to become one of the Heaven Dou Empire's Three Great Sects?"
