Lin Mo looked up at Dugu Bo and asked, "Senior, could you please help me assess my and Charizard's current combat strength?"
Upon hearing Lin Mo's words, Dugu Bo was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously pointed to himself, a look of exasperation on his face.
He wondered if he had misheard.
"You brat—you want to spar with me?" Dugu Bo's voice was filled with obvious disbelief. "I am Titled Douluo, and even if your Soul Power has broken through, you are only a level 50 Quasi-Soul King, and you don't even have your Fifth Soul Ring yet!"
Lin Mo smiled and said calmly, "It's just to test our current combat strength. I hope you'll grant my request, senior."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo stared at Lin Mo for a moment. Seeing that Lin Mo's expression was serious and not joking, he no longer hesitated.
"Alright then." He waved his hand. "Since you want to try, then this old man will spar with you a few times."
The two immediately left the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
With a slight thought, Lin Mo heard the Charizard roar and spread its wide wings. He leaped up and landed steadily on the Charizard's back.
With a flap of its wings, the Charizard carried Lin Mo into the air, following behind Dugu Bo as they flew into the distance.
The aftermath of their upcoming battle could be significant; if they were to fight in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the resulting losses would be unacceptable to anyone.
We must find a place that is far from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, yet spacious enough.
After flying for about fifteen minutes, Dugu Bo finally stopped over a desolate valley.
The Charizard slowly descended, and Lin Mo looked around.
The terrain here is open, surrounded by bare rock walls and sparse vegetation, making it a place rarely visited by people.
After Dugu Bo released his aura as a Titled Douluo, a Ghost Tiger with a cultivation level of 30,000 years, which had been entrenched here, had no choice but to burst out of its hiding cave and flee into the depths of the forest without looking back.
This is a human Titled Douluo, and it only has 30,000 years of cultivation. It's not shameful to lose to him—it comforted itself with this thought.
Soon, Lin Mo slowly landed on the Charizard and faced Dugu Bo opposite him.
"Senior, before we begin our sparring, may I make some preparations in advance?" Lin Mo asked.
Dugu Bo nodded, seemingly unconcerned.
"Do as you please," he said casually. "I'll wait for you."
He considered himself to know quite a bit about Charizard.
After all, it was he who led Lin Mo to hunt for the Charizard's third and Fourth Soul Ring.
Moreover, according to his observation, Lin Mo's Charizard seemed to be able to reach its peak condition only under the effect of the Third Soul Skill " Sunny Day ".
However, that state is not without its costs, as it consumes a great deal of energy and Charizard cannot maintain it for very long.
With this in mind, Dugu Bo felt relieved.
He simply wanted to test Lin Mo's Martial Soul after its latest evolution, to see just how much its strength had increased.
Lin Mo smiled, not caring about it.
He turned to the Charizard and said in a deep voice, "Let's begin."
The Charizard responded with a low growl, and the Soul Ring beneath its feet lit up one after another.
First Soul Ring, Yellow Light Blooms - First Soul Skill, Flame Body!
Immediately afterwards, the Second Soul Ring lit up— the Second Soul Skill, Dragon Dance!
This is also the first time that Charizard has combined its two major Soul Skill, Flame Body and Dragon Dance, to their maximum potential, resulting in its attack, defense, and speed all reaching four times their base values.
That's not all.
With a slight thought, Lin Mo's Third Soul Ring suddenly lit up under the feet of the Charizard - the Third Soul Skill, Sunny Day!
A dazzling golden orb of light shot out from the Charizard, rose into the air, and hovered above the valley.
The intense sunlight streamed down, illuminating the entire valley.
Under the Sunny Day, the temperature of the flames from Charizard's breath suddenly surged, and the color changed from Red to blazing white, triggering the effect of the Solar Power.
Before long, a dark red flame flashed deep within its orange-red eyes, triggering its Blaze.
At this point, Charizard's condition had reached its maximum potential.
Flames roared, and Heat Wave rolled in.
Even from a distance of several kilometers, Dugu Bo could clearly feel the intense heat emanating from him.
The air was thick with the smell of burning heat, and even the ground beneath our feet was starting to get slightly hot.
Dugu Bo, who had been playfully joking around, suddenly widened his eyes, his relaxed expression vanishing instantly, replaced by a look of grave seriousness in his emerald green snake eyes.
He actually sensed a hint of threat from the Charizard in front of him!
He, a Titled Douluo, actually felt threatened by a level 50 Quasi-Soul King's External Beast Martial Soul.
This is almost impossible under normal circumstances.
Dugu Bo's expression turned completely serious.
Without further hesitation, his Soul Power surged, and nine Soul Ring— two yellow, two purple, and five black—appeared one by one beneath his feet.
" Martial Soul Possession!"
With a low shout, Dugu Bo's figure began to change.
Dark green scales emerged from beneath its skin, its legs came together to form a thick snake tail, and a pair of emerald green snake eyes coldly Lock-On onto the Charizard.
The moment the Martial Soul Possession was completed, Dugu Bo was the first to move.
With a flick of his snake tail, he moved like lightning, charging straight at the Charizard.
The thick snake tail tore through the air and lashed out at the Charizard.
"Roar!"
Not to be outdone, the Charizard Entanglement its right fist, which was scorching hot, and unleashed a powerful punch.
Fire Punch!
"Bang!"
The snake's tail collided violently with the Fire Punch.
A dull, deafening roar exploded in the valley, sending shockwaves sweeping outwards and kicking up clouds of dust.
To Dugu Bo's astonishment, although Charizard was knocked back several steps by his single lash, leaving two deep furrows in the ground, it did not retreat much.
A distinct burning sensation came from his snake tail, which was covered with hard scales.
The flames wielded by the Charizard could actually Infiltrator his protective Soul Power and injure him?
Dugu Bo's eyes sharpened.
Before he could think further, the Charizard steadied itself, flapped its wings, and pounced again. Its Dragon Claw, covered in blazing white flames, tore through the air and aimed straight for Dugu Bo's face.
"Good lad!"
Dugu Bo let out a low shout, his snake tail whipped violently, and he shifted his body to the side to avoid the claw. At the same time, he stretched out his right hand, his five fingers transforming into dark green Scratch, and grabbed at the Charizard's neck.
The Charizard reacted extremely quickly, blocking with its left wing, the impact creating a piercing metallic clang as it clashed with the Scratch.
Missing his first strike, Dugu Bo lashed out with his snake tail again, this time faster and at a more cunning angle.
Charizard neither dodged nor evaded, its chest bulged, and it opened its mouth to unleash a blazing white pillar of fire— Flamethrower!
The pillar of fire collided with the snake's tail once again.
This time, Dugu Bo clearly felt the burning pain on the snake's tail was even more intense. He groaned and used the force to retreat, creating distance between himself and the Charizard.
In just a few exchanges, he had completely abandoned his contempt.
With its multiple amplifications, this Charizard's combat power is exaggerated to the extreme, far beyond what a normal Quasi-Soul King could achieve.
Especially those blazing white flames, the temperature was ridiculously high, even able to burn through his protective Soul Power.
Dugu Bo took a deep breath, looked at Lin Mo, and said in a deep voice, " Lin Mo, next—I'm going to use poison."
He paused, then said seriously, "If you can't hold on any longer, just say so, and I'll stop immediately."
Although his melee abilities were enhanced by the Earth Dragon Golden Melon's modifications, he was still more adept at using poison than melee combat.
Poison accounts for the majority of his fighting power; it's his signature skill.
Upon hearing Dugu Bo's words, Lin Mo revealed a very strange smile.
