Lin Mo nodded slightly to Qian Renxue, his expression becoming more serious. "May I ask how you are addressed, young lady?"
Qian Renxue's golden eyes flickered slightly, and after a moment's thought, she said, "My surname is Xue, and I'm a few years older than you. If you don't mind, you can call me Sister Xue."
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo hesitated slightly before finally forcing herself to say, "Then—thank you for your kindness Sister Xue."
The way he called her " Sister Xue " was rather stiff, with a hint of obvious reluctance.
Upon seeing this, a smile flickered across Qian Renxue's eyes. The helplessness she had felt earlier from Lin Mo's casual fabrication had now eased considerably.
She smiled slightly, a rare occurrence for her.
It turns out that Lin Mo, who always seemed so calm and mature for his age, actually had such an awkward and interesting side.
Hidden in the shadows, Serpent Spear Douluo Yu Long watched the two young men below exchanging false names, speechless with astonishment.
He naturally understood the young master's purpose.
They simply wanted to win over this kid whose talent was terrifying.
He has no intention of stopping this; in fact, he welcomes it.
If the Spirit Hall can truly recruit such a person, it will surely gain another pillar of strength in the future.
However—looking at the shy yet wary expression on the boy's face, he couldn't help but shake his head inwardly.
These two people, though young, are quite cunning.
None of the names given were real.
That kid, in particular, went too far.
Not only is his name made up, but he also dares to casually claim to be eighteen years old—this kid is probably only twelve at most!
Even though the twelve-year-old Soul King, She Long, was Titled Douluo who had witnessed countless geniuses, his heart was still filled with unease.
In the arena, Lin Mo leaped off the dragon's back, but after landing, he did not stray far from the Charizard, remaining a few steps away from Charizard side.
Lin Mo was prepared to recall the Charizard at any time and use his Self Martial Soul Fusion Skill to escape.
Qian Renxue's pure white wings flapped gently, and she retreated more than ten meters, hovering in mid-air to make way for Lin Mo.
He created some space, crossed his arms, and looked like a bystander watching a show.
Although she gave the Soul Beast to Lin Mo, it didn't mean she would help him.
On the contrary, she wanted to see for herself what Lin Mo, this young man who had not yet obtained his Fifth Soul Ring, had to rely on to dare to face a Soul Beast with an age of 30,000 years alone.
Seeing Qian Renxue's posture, Lin Mo understood. He shook his head, no longer hesitating, and turned his gaze to the lava lake below, which was bubbling with intense heat.
"Go down and force it out," Lin Mo said in a deep voice.
The Charizard roared in response, then suddenly folded its Dual Wingbeat and swooped down towards the Red lava lake, disappearing directly into it.
Lin Mo was on high alert at this moment, sensing the current state of the Charizard through the connection between their Martial Soul.
After a few breaths, the lava lake suddenly exploded.
"Boom!"
Red liquid shot into the sky, and a huge figure emerged from the lake in a disheveled state.
It was a strangely shaped Soul Beast.
It is nearly eight meters long and has a bright golden-red color.
Its body is long and slender, resembling a giant worm, and its surface is covered with a translucent, glass-like shell, beneath which a faint glow of fire could be seen.
Its head has no obvious facial features, only a round mouth covered with fine, sharp teeth.
Above the mouthparts grew three pairs of small golden eyes.
However, what is most eye-catching is the six pairs of wings on its back that are as thin as cicada wings.
" Sun Worm?" Lin Mo was somewhat surprised, then suddenly realized, "No, judging from its size and imposing presence—this should be called the Sun Insect King."
Lin Mo quickly realized that the Sun Insect King was probably disturbed by the aura released by the Titan Giant Ape earlier, which is why it fled here in a panic.
Judging from its astonishing length, this Sun Insect King's cultivation level is around 30,000 years, with an error margin of no more than 1,000 years.
This age limit was not beyond what he and Charizard could handle.
Dealing with them might be a little tricky, but they are by no means incapable of being killed.
Qian Renxue hovered not far away, still with her arms crossed, showing no intention of intervening.
She wanted to see how Lin Mo would handle this.
Lin Mo sensed Qian Renxue's gaze, feeling helpless but also aroused Competitive it!
Since you want to watch, then go ahead and watch.
Facing the roaring Sun Insect King charging towards it, Charizard did not choose to dodge, but instead raised its head and let out a deafening roar.
The Third Soul Ring beneath his feet suddenly burst forth with dazzling light.
Third Soul Skill: Sunny Day!
A blazing golden orb spewed from the Charizard, rapidly rising into the air and hovering in the center of the battlefield.
The golden sphere of light showered down endless light and heat, instantly enveloping the entire lava lake.
Under this "sunlight," the Red flames around the Charizard suddenly turned blazing white, and its already powerful aura rose even higher, reaching a terrifying level.
However, to the surprise of both Qian Renxue and Yu Long, who was secretly observing, it wasn't just Charizard that was affected by this " Sunny Day ".
Bathed in the golden "sunlight," the Sun Insect King's golden-red carapace suddenly became incredibly bright, its six pairs of wings on its back shone even brighter, and its aura surged dramatically!
The Rage in its screech seemed to have lessened somewhat, replaced by a hint of astonishment.
"This is... a domain-type Soul Skill?" Qian Renxue frowned slightly, but quickly relaxed and slowly shook her head. "No, that's not right."
She possesses Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, and is born with the Innate Domain " Angel Domain," making her an expert in domains.
Therefore, it was immediately apparent that Lin Mo's Third Soul Skill, although extremely similar to a domain in its outward appearance—both could significantly alter the environment and amplify the user's own abilities.
However, it is still far from being a true field.
The most crucial point is that it prevents the distinction between friend and foe.
A true domain, like her Angel Domain, can clearly define friend and foe, amplify one's own forces, and weaken the enemy.
But Lin Mo's Soul Skill is more like a move that indiscriminately alters the environment.
It cannot autonomously choose which target to bless or suppress.
"At most, it can only be considered a rudimentary domain, or—a pseudo-domain Soul Skill," Qian Renxue quickly judged. "It cannot yet be called a true domain."
Having figured this out, Qian Renxue's exquisite face twitched slightly at the corner of her mouth.
Applying buffs to the opponent as well? This was the first time she had ever seen such Soul Skill.
Even the Sun Insect King seemed a little stunned, clearly encountering this kind of "helping" opponent for the first time.
In the arena, although the Sun Insect King's aura increased due to the blessing of " Sunny Day ", it clearly did not express any gratitude to Charizard.
After a brief moment of surprise, its three pairs of golden eye-like crystals Lock-On the Charizard, and its round mouth opened, unleashing a golden-red beam of light, only as thick as an arm, straight towards the Charizard!
The Charizard neither dodged nor evaded, but instead puffed out its chest and opened its mouth to unleash a blazing white pillar of fire to meet the attack head-on!
Flamethrower!
The golden-red beam of light collided violently with the blazing white pillar of fire in mid-air.
Under Qian Renxue's astonished gaze, the golden-red beam of light was rapidly devoured by the blazing white pillar of fire at a speed visible to the naked eye, just like ice and snow melting under the sun!
After shattering the beam of light, the blazing white pillar of fire slammed into the carapace on the chest of the Sun Insect King.
"Sizzle--!"
Even the Sun Insect King's incredibly hard crystal shell began to show signs of melting!
It couldn't help but let out a sharp, painful screech, its massive body being thrown backward several meters by the impact of the pillar of fire.
"This is—" Qian Renxue's golden pupils narrowed slightly, "Attribute suppression?"
She could see clearly that both sides were using the purest Fire-type energy attacks, but Charizard's flames had an almost overwhelming effect on Sun Insect King's flames!
Could there really be such a stark and mutually restraining relationship between people of the same attribute? A hint of doubt rose in Qian Renxue's heart.
This was the first time she had ever seen such a phenomenon.
Lin Mo sensed the Sun Insect King's aura had increased considerably due to the blessing of the Sunny Day, and felt deeply helpless.
This is the current limitation of the " Sunny Day " Soul Skill.
Within the area illuminated by Sunlight, all Fire-type abilities are enhanced, while ice and Water-type are suppressed.
This boost and suppression depend entirely on the target's own attributes. Charizard cannot currently boost its own attributes and suppress the enemy like it can with True Domain.
Even so, the current battle situation remains one-sided.
The reason is simple: attribute counters attribute, and Ultimate Attribute completely counters ordinary attribute.
The flames that Charizard wields, under the " Sunny Day " condition, have reached the level of " Ultimate Fire ".
While the Sun Insect King's flames were powerful, they were still within the realm of ordinary flames.
Thanks to this type advantage, Charizard faced no pressure whatsoever when dealing with this Sun Insect King.
The Sun Insect King's attacks were much less effective against Charizard, which possessed Ultimate Fire.
In contrast, Charizard's Smack Down can inflict significant damage on Sun Insect King.
With the tides turning and the balance of power shifting, the scales of victory had completely tipped in Charizard from the very beginning of the battle.
