Seven red rays intertwined to form a net, emitting a piercing buzz in the air.
Jing Hongchen held back; it was only Level 7 Soul Tool, but even so, each ray of light contained terrifying energy powerful enough to cut through Soul Saint's defenses.
Regardless of the circumstances, the other party was brought by His Highness the Crown Prince.
As a veteran Titled Douluo, I shouldn't be seen as bullying younger generations.
Toji he stood still, just as the net of light was about to touch his body, his left leg flashed with silver light, and his entire body Teleportation away. A sharp whooshing sound filled the air as he appeared three meters away, so fast that he didn't even leave a afterimage.
The light net missed its target and crashed heavily onto the metal floor, leaving seven deep cuts, each about an inch deep.
"So fast! Is this the effect of his Soul Bone? Even this old servant can't quite see it clearly. This shouldn't be his full strength yet," exclaimed the guard behind Xu Tianran.
Xu Tianran squinted his eyes and tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest.
He noticed that when Toji moved, those black Soul Ring remained completely still, without any fluctuations as a normal Soul Master would when using Soul Skill.
"Your Highness, the opponent must be using Soul Bone Skill. It's normal for the Soul Ring not to react," the guard quickly explained, seemingly noticing Xu Tianran's confusion.
" Soul Bone? I see."
Xu Tianran nodded slowly.
Given the opponent's mysterious and unpredictable strength, it's not surprising that they possess several powerful Soul Bone.
In the center of the arena, Jing Hongchen's pupils contracted slightly.
Without any fluctuations in Soul Power, how could one achieve this speed purely through physical strength?
How is that possible?
As a Level 9 Soul Engineer, his dynamic vision was sufficient to capture the movements of Super Douluo, but Toji's movement trajectory just now was difficult for him to grasp.
Despite the opponent's aura as Soul Douluo being emanating from them, I found it surprisingly difficult to lock onto and aim at them.
This strange feeling made him feel very uncomfortable.
It was as if his prized Soul Tool had failed him in his presence.
Toji had already been equipped with a level 7 thruster, which made him even faster, allowing him to quickly approach Jing Hongchen.
"This speed... wait, is he insane? He actually installed twelve level-seven thrusters on his back?!"
Toji Jing Hongchen was shocked by Shen Er's crazy actions.
"Can his body handle it?"
Seeing Toji rapidly approaching him, Jing Hongchen spread his arms, and twelve crimson metal spheres shot out from his sleeves.
Immediately afterward, the Soul Ring flashed one after another, and the metal sphere instantly unfolded, transforming into twelve floating Soul Tool Turret, aiming at Toji who was suddenly attacking from the front.
A blinding red light flashed from the muzzle, and the temperature in the entire test field suddenly rose. The air distorted and fluctuated due to the high temperature. Without hesitation, it fired at Toji!
"Boom boom boom boom--!!!"
Twelve crimson beams shot out simultaneously, weaving together a deadly net with no blind spots.
Wherever the beam of light passed, the specially made alloy ground instantly vaporized, leaving behind lava-like grooves.
This is Jing Hongchen's set of level eight linked remote Soul Tool for combat. Since the opponent's physical condition can withstand twelve level seven thrusters, he won't hold back too much. He can simply switch from using Level 7 Soul Tool to Level 8 Soul Tool.
Faced with this overwhelming bombardment, Toji revealed a wild smile. The thrusters behind him changed direction, and at the same time, the muscles in his right arm suddenly swelled, and dark golden scale-like patterns appeared on the surface of the panel.
Just as the beams were about to strike, Toji's figure suddenly blurred. Jing Hongchen only saw a blur before his eyes, and the black-clad youth vanished into thin air. All twelve crimson flame beams missed their mark, causing a deafening explosion at the other end of the field.
"What?!" A warning bell rang in Jing Hongchen's mind.
The powerful Spiritual Power of Level 9 Soul Engineer allowed him to instantly detect the terrifying fluctuations coming from behind him.
There was no time to turn around; Jing Hongchen instinctively activated the level nine protective Soul Tool on her chest, Red Dust Protection.
The next second, five dark golden beams tore through the air and slammed into the light shield.
"Clang--!!!"
The deafening clang of metal colliding sent the entire test field trembling.
The moment the Dark Gold Dreadclaw collided with the metal round shield, dazzling sparks erupted.
The terrifying shockwave spread out in a ring, ripping up all the metal ground within a radius of 100 meters.
Jing Hongchen glanced at the surface of his Level 9 Soul Tool, Red Dust Protection, and saw five shocking claw marks.
Even he subconsciously sensed danger.
If he's arrogant, he'll probably get hurt by that claw.
It'll be a laughing stock if word gets out that he, a dignified Level 9 Soul Engineer, was actually injured by Eight-Ring Soul Douluo?
However, once Jing Hongchen discovers Toji's true cultivation level, he'll probably be so angry he'll vomit blood.
Jing Hongchen followed the gaze and saw Toji slowly retracting his right arm amidst the smoke and dust. The terrifying Dark Gold Dreadclaw was gradually returning to human form, and the scale-like patterns on the panel surface were also fading away.
He shook his hand, seemingly regretting that he hadn't been able to break through the defense in one strike.
" Level 9 Defensive Soul Tool... it truly lives up to its reputation." Toji said, feeling quite pleased that his full-force attack had managed to leave a mark on the Level 9 Defensive Soul Tool.
However, he controlled this attack somewhat, preventing his Fourth Soul Skill from fully unleashing its Ignore Defense. Otherwise, Jing Hongchen would not have been able to defend against this claw attack with any external force.
"Young friend's movement skills are indeed astonishing, and the way you use the thrusters of your Soul Tool is truly eye-opening."
Jing Hongchen frowned:
"I've never seen anyone so bold as to use a full twelve level-seven thrusters, not even myself."
"There are many more you haven't seen." Toji took out a level seven melee Soul Tool, a large sword, and pointed it at Jing Hongchen.
"Keep going, you'll see more."
"Since you've said so, young friend... then this old man will not stand on ceremony." Jing Hongchen's expression darkened slightly. He flipped his left hand, and a dark silver light flashed, revealing a menacing-looking long cannon in his hand.
The cannon was about 1.5 meters long, with a streamlined silver-gray body. Its surface was engraved with dense Core Array patterns, which were now lighting up one by one as Soul Power was injected, flickering like breathing. A stream of dark silver light flashed, and a long cannon with a ferocious shape appeared in his hand.
"This is an eighth-level long-range Soul Tool, the Piercing Cannon, which I personally crafted."
The Jing Hongchen World.
"Even Titled Douluo wouldn't dare to take this shot head-on. If you can withstand it, young friend, I will completely acknowledge you."
"Come on," Toji politeness.
Jing Hongchen nodded and began to pour his surging Soul Power into the Piercing Cannon. The Core Array on the cannon was fully lit up, emitting a piercing buzz.
The white light at the muzzle had condensed to the size of a fist, surrounded by distorted spatial ripples.
"Watch out!" Jing Hongchen shouted, and fired the Piercing Cannon.
"Boom!!!"
A pure white beam of light, half a meter in diameter, tore through the air, and a deep trench automatically appeared in the ground where it passed.
The beam of light traveled at extreme speed, arriving in front of Toji almost simultaneously with its launch.
