Second Martial Soul: Death God Demon Puppet!

"What's wrong with this kid? Is he on steroids? Wait a minute, I'm the one in the right, okay..."

Zhong Meng and Yu Tianshuang arrived at the Star Luo Empire's Royal Training Ground, a training ground exclusively for the royal family. It was very large and equipped with all kinds of equipment. Dai Weisi had once spent a "wonderful" period here.

After the two stood on opposite sides, Zhong Meng looked at Yu Tianshuang hands together and looking excited, and was somewhat puzzled. He then fell into deep thought and self-doubt.

"Haha, it's truly an honor to witness the battle between the young talents of the Soul Master World and the veteran powerhouses, especially within the imperial palace of my Star Luo Empire. Now, you two, get ready and let's begin."

Whether the emperor of the Star Luo Empire was genuinely so magnanimous or just putting on an act, the two were clearly fighting to settle their scores, yet he made it sound like an outstanding junior challenging a veteran powerhouse, leaving Shui Bing'er and the others feeling utterly bewildered.

Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun were the most deeply moved. They glanced at the emperor of the Star Luo Empire, exchanged a look, and fell into deep thought.

"Father's condition is definitely not right right now. By the way, I've heard before that people who cultivate Evil Soul Master have certain emotions and personality traits amplified infinitely. It seems that Father is like that. How despicable! How can the emperor of a dignified empire break the law and cultivate Evil Soul Master? If it were just about supporting or using someone, I could understand, but for him to cultivate Evil Soul Master himself, he's truly beyond redemption..."

What Dai Weisi was thinking was unknown to Shui Bing'er and the others, but she was extremely intelligent. The unusual mental state of the Star Luo Empire emperor made her suspicious. She raised her eyes to look at the veiled woman in red. Their eyes met, and the woman nodded gently to Shui Bing'er.

"Forget it, the most important thing now is for Tianshuang to win the battle so we can leave here safely and return to the Spirit Hall to make further plans. Otherwise, if we lose this match, according to the bet, leaving unscathed won't be so easy, and the Spirit Hall won't be able to intervene afterwards."

The two members of the Holy Spirit Cult are still wary of the Spirit Hall's immense power. Since they dared to target Yu Tianshuang, they must know his background very well. They must know that he is currently the youngest elder in the Spirit Hall with a promising future. If something happens to him, the Spirit Hall will not only have a reason to do so, but also be able to eliminate Evil Soul Master. That's why they came up with this excuse.

But refusing is not an option either, since we're on their turf. Evil Soul Master are known for their eccentric and unpredictable personalities. They might be polite and respectful to you now, wary of the power behind you, but the next moment they could turn on you and fight you to the death.

Zhong Meng: "Boy, listen up! I am Zhong Meng, the Vice Leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, a level 95 Titled Douluo, with the Martial Soul Death God Demon Puppet."

As soon as he finished speaking, a purple evil aura erupted from the burly man in black, followed by a blood-red savage aura. When the Martial Soul Death God Demon Puppet appeared behind him, a gray-black aura filled with dense death energy also appeared. The three auras representing the most evil intertwined, and the place where Zhong Meng was standing instantly turned into a ghostly realm.

Yu Tianshuang: "Level 73 Power Attack System Battle Soul Saint, Elder of the Spirit Hall, Junior Brother of Shui Bing'er, Martial Soul Frost Dragon!"

Hearing Yu Tianshuang being so playful in the face of such a powerful Evil Soul Master, Shui Bing'er, who was sitting below the stage, gradually felt relieved. This guy obviously didn't take the other party seriously. However, she shouldn't be too confident. After all, this person was Titled Douluo with Soul Power of 95, and he was Evil Soul Master she had never seen before.

Zhong Meng: "Very good, kid, you still have the mood to talk back, not bad, not bad. But you won't be happy for long. I will turn you into my puppet, to be at my beck and call for life, haha."

Hearing that Yu Tianshuang had actually seen him unleash his full power and was still in a playful mood, Zhong Meng wondered if he was genuinely confident or if he felt that because of the Spirit Hall behind him, he wouldn't dare to do anything to him. But it didn't matter; he would make him pay the price soon enough.

"So noisy!"

Yu Tianshuang ignored Zhong Meng, who was spouting threats. His Frost Dragon Martial Soul instantly possessed him, and his Dragon Transformation body parts were completed at the same time. A terrifying Soul Ring Configuration unfolded from his waist. Everyone present, except for Shui Bing'er and the others, widened their eyes and couldn't help but gasp at his terrifying Soul Ring Configuration.

Zhong Meng: "I see, kid. No wonder you're so confident. But don't think you can be so arrogant just because you have a few Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring. In the Soul Master World, it's not about Soul Ring, but about true strength!"

He was also a bit dumbfounded at this moment. According to his intelligence, this person was just a Soul Emperor. Although he had two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and had defeated Thunder Rhino Douluo, he didn't take them seriously at all. He was a level 95 Titled Douluo. Thunder Rhino, who had just entered the Titled Douluo realm, was not on the same level as him at all.

"Zhong Meng underestimates this kid. The fact that he possesses so many Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring shows that his physical and mental strength is sufficient to withstand the impact of these Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring. Generally, Soul Master needs to reach the Soul Douluo level to absorb Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, and Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast are extremely rare. Having three Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring indicates that this kid's luck is exceptionally good. However, I'm quite interested in him now. Let's see if he's really as I expect."

As the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, Ye Yuxuan's insight and depth of understanding far surpassed Zhong Meng's. He only saw the three Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring on Yu Tianshuang's body, while she saw much more. The Holy Spirit Cult, an organization that existed almost simultaneously with the Spirit Hall, had once been glorious and stirred up a bloody storm on the continent. As the successive leaders of the Holy Spirit Cult, the Ye Clan had naturally possessed their own set of laws for ensuring the Holy Spirit Cult's survival for so many years.

"Heh, I see you're nothing special. Since you're using the Slaughter City incident as an excuse to make things difficult for us, then I'll leave you speechless. Divine Slaughter's Domain, Eternal Frozen Domain, Frost Dragon Domain, open!"

Yu Tianshuang's expression was indifferent as she looked at Zhong Meng and spoke in an icy tone. Then, she took a step forward, and her triple domain instantly unfolded. The temperature of the entire Star Luo Empire Royal Training Ground plummeted to freezing point. The entire ground, including the equipment on display, turned into frost. Zhong Meng felt an icy power eroding him, and his strength decreased by 30%. The three-colored evil aura surrounding his body also began to be covered with a layer of frost.

Zhong Meng: "How... how is this possible? Besides the Divine Slaughter's Domain, you actually possess two other domains, and... and you can even suppress my strength, a Titled Douluo, by nearly 30%! Unbelievable..."

"But kid, if this is your trump card, I think you're getting ahead of yourself. The huge difference in Soul Power between us can't be bridged by these three domains. Seventh Soul Skill: Death God Avatar!"

The Zhong Clan, a family that has existed in the Holy Spirit Cult Sect for generations, has a close relationship with the Ye Clan, which is of the same lineage as the sect leader. Zhong himself is Ye Yuxuan's uncle, and the previous sect leader was his cousin. This also resulted in Martial Soul two of them having the same top-tier Martial Soul, the Death God Demon Puppet. There are actually many Martial Soul on the continent that can be called top-tier martial souls, but the real way to judge the true quality of a top-tier Martial Soul is to see whether the owner of the Martial Soul can possess Martial Soul Avatar when he reaches the Soul Saint realm. This Death God Avatar is also his greatest trump card.

The enormous phantom of the Death God was like a true Death God from hell, reaping souls. The aura of death instantly collided with Yu Tianshuang's triple domain, turning the ice beneath Zhong Meng's feet into chunks of gray ice, which then dissipated like ashes.

"This is the first time I've seen power with this attribute. Aside from Qian Renxue's divine attribute, this power, filled with death, is probably the real reason why Evil Soul Master are not tolerated in this world. I can feel Zhong Meng's Martial Soul Avatar tearing and pulling at my soul. If such a person were on the battlefield, he would probably be a true weapon of mass destruction."

Yu Tianshuang frowned as she watched Zhong Meng unleash his Martial Soul Avatar, the eerie gray power dissipating as if the ice had died.

"What's Lengleng?"

The others who shared the same thought as Yu Tianshuang couldn't help but frown. This was their natural aversion to Evil Soul Master. However, Shui Bing'er keenly noticed that Ye Lingling beside her looked much more uncomfortable than they did, even somewhat pained.

"It's nothing, Sister Bing'er. It's just that this power makes me feel very uncomfortable. It's probably because of my Martial Soul."

By the way, Ye Lingling's Martial Soul is the Nine Heart Begonia, which represents Martial Soul. It's natural that she has a natural aversion to Martial Soul with death aura. Shui Bing'er understood and raised her hand to pat Ye Lingling. A layer of frost appeared and isolated the death aura emanating from Zhong Meng's body.

If vitality is an attribute, then Ye Lingling's Martial Soul is the most representative of it. Ye Lingling is really suffering from Zhong Meng's power, which is full of death. She wishes she could give him a healing spell to see if it would make him more pleasing to the eye.

Zhong Meng stood within the enormous phantom of the Death God Avatar, then slowly raised his hand. The enormous phantom of the Death God enveloping him also raised its hand in sync. Then, a flash of dark gray death aura appeared in his eyes, and a bizarrely shaped, enormous scythe, exuding a chilling deathly aura, appeared in his hand.

Eighth Soul Skill: Death God Scythe!

The moment he grasped the giant scythe, Zhong Meng vanished from his spot like a black shadow, appearing eerily before Yu Tianshuang like Gui Mei, and brought the scythe down fiercely.

Katz.

Yu Tianshuang's Dragon Transformation claws immediately met the sharp scythe. The moment they clashed, the immense force crushed the ice beneath their feet into dust. Then, in the next instant, Yu Tianshuang forcefully parried Zhong Meng's scythe and, taking advantage of his momentary rebound, slammed down with her claws. Unfortunately, Zhong Meng's reaction was also extremely swift; he decisively abandoned the scythe and raised both arms to block.

Thump!

With the force of a cannonball, Yu Tianshuang's claw struck Zhong Meng's arms, creating a sonic boom and ripples in the air. Zhong Meng was like a cannonball, embedded in the thick wall of the Royal Training Ground.

"Cough cough..."

Zhong Meng quickly emerged from the wall, feeling the shock from the immense force causing blood to rush to his head. He couldn't help but cough up several mouthfuls of blood. His trembling arms made him even more incredulous; such a terrifying attack was actually a casual strike from a Soul Saint.

"Oh right, I forgot. The information says his Martial Soul is a mutated Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul. Members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan possess Dragon Transformation characteristics and excel at close-quarters combat. It makes sense that his physical body is so strong. So, since your greatest strength is close combat, how can I let you have your way?"

Zhong Meng instantly recalled the man's information and cursed under his breath. He realized he must have lost his mind. Even though the man was only a Soul Saint, he had actually thought of engaging in hand-to-hand combat with a Soul Master who could Dragon Transformation. He must have been out of his mind.

Eighth Soul Skill: Death Divine Needle!

Having decided to engage Yu Tianshuang in a ranged battle, Zhong Meng waved his hand, recalling the Death God Scythe stuck in the ground. Then, a surge of gray-black death Soul Power coursed through his hand, and the giant scythe transformed into countless dense black steel needles in front of him.

"Oh, looking at your burly physique, I thought you could put up a real fight with me, a real man's punch. Turns out you can't even take one of my punches, and now you want to fight from a distance? You really do live up to all that muscle, huh."

Seeing that Zhong Meng had conjured countless black steel needles in front of him, Yu Tianshuang knew that this guy was frightened by her punch and dared not fight her in close combat anymore, so she couldn't help but mock him.

In fact, Yu Tianshuang's punch was not a casual strike. It contained the Army Breaker Sword Intent, the Soul Power of almost half of his body, which he had already activated in the Ring Fusion state, and his physical body which was constantly strengthened by the Purple Seal. This is why he was able to punch Zhong Meng, a level 95 Titled Douluo, into the wall.

"Wow, you're that strong? Looks like even I underestimated you. But if Zhong Meng is determined to fight you from a distance, your powerful close-combat skills won't be able to be used. So what are you planning to do now, little guy..."

Ye Yuxuan was also taken aback by Yu Tianshuang's powerful attack, but she was very satisfied with Zhong Meng's next move. He was not blinded by anger, but chose to fight by playing to his strengths and avoiding his weaknesses. In terms of combat, Zhong Meng was still very reliable.
