Huo Wu's Little Scheme
Ye Lingling felt a little guilty. Looking at Yu Tianshuang, who was staring at her, she couldn't help but ask, "Why are you staring at me like that...?"
Yu Tianshuang: "Hehe, I didn't expect my Lengleng to be so naughty. You slowly withdrew your Soul Power later, was that on purpose? Haha."
As he spoke, he winked meaningfully at Ye Lingling, his winking manner looking rather cheeky. "Bang!" Shui Bing'er walked over and gave him a sharp rap on the head, then said indulgently, "What, our Lengleng is teaching that big oaf a lesson for you, you have a problem with that?"
Yu Tianshuang quickly waved his hand, but he hadn't expected Ye Lingling's healing Soul Skill to be so lethal to these Evil Soul Master. Was it simply because Zhong Meng possessed death energy that was countered, or were the other Evil Soul Master the same?
If that's the case, Lengleng will become a crucial weapon in future battles against these Evil Soul Master. Similarly, these Evil Soul Master will inevitably target Lengleng as their primary objective.
Yu Tianshuang: "The leader of that Holy Spirit Cult is only level 95. If Evil Soul Master are only this strong, how could they possibly impress the emperor of the Star Luo Empire?"
At that moment, Yu Tianshuang felt that the masked, red-robed sect leader, sitting there so calmly, seemed particularly unfathomable to her. Since Zhong Meng Yu Tianshuang, the vice sect leader, was a level 95 Titled Douluo, the sect leader should at least be level 96 or 97, and possibly even a level 98 or 99 Peerless Douluo. Yet, this guy was on the same level as that big, goofy guy, and when he got angry, he seemed incredibly easy to bully...
Shui Bing'er: "You think what you see now is all there is? How could that be? The emperor of the Star Luo Empire isn't stupid. Over the years, if it weren't for the Spirit Hall mediating and balancing between the two empires, Dai Weisi's statement, 'We would have annexed the Heaven Dou Empire long ago,' wouldn't be an exaggeration. And looking at all these years of confrontation between the two empires, only this current emperor has been able to achieve this. So, don't underestimate anyone; remember the principle of a lion hunting a rabbit."
"Okay, okay, senior sister, I've noticed you're being really long-winded lately. Can you please give me back the aloof and cool senior sister I used to be..."
Yu Tianshuang playfully braced herself for a flick on the forehead from Shui Bing'er, but seeing that she only sighed Youyou with a complicated expression, she said, "Fine, I don't expect you to have any insights now. Just focus on perfecting your most prized skill, your fist technique, and leave the rest to me..."
Shui Bing'er had figured it out; it was unlikely she could get him back to the way he used to be when he schemed against Tang San and his son. Especially after today's forceful dismantling of a plot against them, he was even less inclined to use his brain. However, she had secretly considered many ways to resolve this "predicament" today, but to her surprise, the quickest and simplest method was actually to use force. No wonder he was so fond of it now; in many situations, using force was indeed simple and quick.
"No, no, how could I have such thoughts... This guy's brain is already full of muscles, if I become like that, he'll only know how to use his fists in the future, that won't do..."
Suddenly realizing her wavering and changing thoughts, Shui Bing'er quickly shook her head and involuntarily looked at Yu Tianshuang. Perhaps this was when he started to change.
"Ling Yuan, Huyan Zhen, what do you two mean by this? Are you looking down on me by letting a little girl fight me? Do you really not take my Holy Dragon Sect seriously? Or are you deliberately humiliating me?"
Tuoba Xi looked at the dashing red-haired woman opposite him, who stood with her hands on her hips and looked at him arrogantly. He couldn't help but angrily question Ling Yuan Douluo and Huyan Zhen.
"Hmph! You scoundrel, we're giving you face and you don't even want it, you actually dare to make us come and invite you in person, you really think you're so important? But I'll grant your wish, you just need to be taught a lesson, right? You only made this fuss, why are you afraid of a little girl like me?"
Huo Wu put her hands on her hips, then raised one of her fair and slender arms and gave Tuoba Xi a "kind advice." One has to admire Huo Wu. Huyan Zhen had specifically reminded her not to talk about the Earth Dragon in the Holy Dragon Sect, but she didn't care at all and just cursed it out in front of so many people. Coupled with her spoiled nature and expression, Tuoba Xi's anger exploded instantly.
"Very well, very well, truly, new talents emerge in every generation, the younger generation surpasses the older. You little girl, your tongue is sharp and ruthless. I haven't heard the term 'walking dragon' in ages. Very well, then I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of your elders, so you'll know what manners are..."
As the saying goes, "the squeaky wheel gets the grease," and Clear Sky Sect Tuoba Xi's current scheme is certainly not like the true Upper Three Sects, who simply don't participate in the new Seven Great Sects election. Instead, he's taking advantage of the Spirit Hall's urgent need for manpower, coupled with his own attainment of Titled Douluo, to try and gain the greatest benefit in one fell swoop—such as the Upper Three Sects Upper Three Sects's long coveted, or even the position of their leader...
"Tuoba Xi, a level 91 Titled Douluo, with the Martial Soul White Armored Earth Dragon, little girl, come and attack me!"
A white phantom of an earth dragon appeared behind him, and he quickly completed the Martial Soul Possession. To be honest, if it weren't for the Spirit Hall's sake, he wouldn't have formally introduced himself and summoned his Martial Soul to Huo Wu, this arrogant little girl. It was already the greatest respect he could show her. A junior like her was at most a Soul Emperor. Summoning Martial Soul to deal with a Soul Emperor was already a lot of face.
"Haha, I was right! It really is a Ground Dragon! Cough cough, Ground Dragon, listen up! Who's about to defeat you? I'm Huo Wu, the future Elder of the Spirit Hall, a Level 72 Control System Battle Soul Saint, with the Martial Soul Blazing Sun Scorching Soul Fire Shadow!"
Huo Wu watched as Tuoba Xi beckoned to her with disdain, but she wasn't angry. The aura emanating from him was even weaker than that of Sister Ling Yuan. She had actually been quite unsure of herself before, after all, no matter how strong she was, she was only a Soul Saint. But then she thought that Shui Bing'er was also only a Soul Saint, and if she could do it, why couldn't she? So she had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.
Now that she discovered that Tuoba Xi was indeed like a dragon walking on the ground, without even a trace of strength that made her feel any pressure, she immediately felt relieved. Then, an uncontrollable joy appeared on her face as she arrogantly said to Tuoba Xi.
"Soul Saint... How is that possible? I've heard of Huo Wu before. She's even younger than the Holy Maiden, how could she be Soul Saint? And what's with that red Soul Ring? A Soul Saint with Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring? No wonder, no wonder, so she wanted to use me as a stepping stone. But I am Titled Douluo!"
The moment Tuoba Xi saw Huo Wu summon her martial Martial Soul, the temperature in the entire training ground of the Holy Dragon Sect suddenly rose. He stared in surprise at the humanoid flame behind her, knowing that the quality of this Martial Soul was probably quite high. Then, the Soul Ring that appeared on her body next surprised him even more. After calming down, he suddenly understood why this little girl had come here.
"You young people are all so ambitious. Yu Tianshuang and Shui Bing'er have already defeated veteran Titled Douluo and become elders of the Spirit Hall. Now, you, a little girl, want to emulate them? You're really dreaming. Yu Tianshuang and Shui Bing'er are extraordinary figures. Even an old relic like me, living deep in the mountains, has heard their stories. You, an unknown little girl, I advise you to focus on your cultivation and not try to emulate them..."
Tuoba Xi's words were like needles pricking her, especially after he mentioned Shui Bing'er. Huo Wu clenched her fists tightly, her anger rising steadily. Boiling flames gradually appeared on her body, finally erupting like a volcano. The bright red flame mark on her forehead instantly shone brightly, and she threw a large fireball, interrupting Tuoba Xi's attempt to lecture her.
"Hmph, you white-haired earth dragon, today I'll turn you into charcoal! Shui Bing'er, Shui Bing'er, what is she? I'm ten thousand times stronger than her!!!"
Whether it was being suppressed by Shui Bing'er since childhood and never winning once, or being completely controlled by Yu Tianshuang later on, Huo Wu couldn't bear to hear anyone mention Shui Bing'er, let alone praise her in front of her and compare her to her. This was tantamount to offending her sore spot.
"Sigh, Tuoba Xi has narrowed his options. Of all things to say, he mentioned Shui Bing'er in front of Huo Wu... sigh..."
Looking at Huo Wu, who had transformed into a fiery figure almost identical to her own Martial Soul, Ling Yuan Douluo covered his forehead and sighed helplessly.
Among the crowd, besides the disciples of the Holy Dragon Sect who came to watch the battle, Hu Huyan Zhen was the most shocked. You see, he had known Huo Wu for a long time. Five years ago, in the Soul Master Tournament, this little girl was just a Soul Ancestor. Although her strength was not bad, compared to those who stood at the top at that time, such as Yu Tianshuang, Shui Bing'er, Tang San, and the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall, she could only be ranked in the second tier. But now, this little girl was able to suppress Tuoba Xi, who had become Titled Douluo. This made him feel a mix of emotions.
"Ultimate Fire, that's right, absolutely Ultimate Fire! Neither of us is using our Soul Skill right now, and although her Soul Power is weaker than mine, she's still overwhelming me. The most important thing is this flame; its power is simply too immense. No, I'll lose if this continues. I must defeat her in one fell swoop! Seventh Soul Skill: Martial Soul Avatar!"
In just a few minutes, Tuoba Xi and Huo Wu exchanged blows many times. Whether it was the fireballs Huo Wu casually threw or the fire arrows she condensed from her flaming longbow, which were shot at tricky angles, Tuoba Xi found it difficult to defend himself. If it weren't for his Titled Douluo Soul Power, he would have been defeated long ago. After thinking for a while, he directly released his Martial Soul Avatar.
"Heh, I thought you, this earth-walking dragon, could only run away. Turns out you can fight back too! This is the moment I've been waiting for. I'll show you the true flames that incinerate everything! Seventh Soul Skill: Blazing Sun Avatar!"
Huo Wu sneered disdainfully when she saw Tuoba Xi transformed into a giant white armored dragon. Her fiery power erupted once more, and her last deep red Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring lit up. A huge fire giant instantly appeared from Huo Wu's body, enveloping her. Then, Huo Wu's figure slowly rose and stopped at the fire giant's chest.
"Possessing Martial Soul Avatar with a real name!!! This Huo Wu's Martial Soul quality is so high, no wonder her casual attacks are all at the level of Ultimate Fire..."
Tuoba Xi stared at the enormous fire giant before her. The mere flames emanating from it had turned the surrounding flowers, plants, and trees yellow and dehydrated. Even more terrifying was the ground beneath her feet, which had turned into lava and was gradually spreading outwards. She couldn't help but widen her eyes, and her long white eyebrows furrowed in an unsightly way.
The same thought crossed Huyan Zhen's mind. He really couldn't believe that in just five years, this little girl had grown to such a terrifying level. He felt that all of this was as unreal as a dream, but the air distorted by the high temperature and his somewhat dry body made him realize that this was reality.
Eighth Soul Skill: Dragon Blaze Break!
Tuoba Xi knew that if this dragged on, he would be the one to lose. Feeling the moisture evaporating from his body, he knew he had to go all out now, otherwise he would die of thirst without Huo Wu even having to Huo Wu finger.
Fifth Soul Skill: Scorching Flame Clone!
Huo Wu watched as Tuoba Xi, transformed into a giant white earth dragon, spewed out a huge white pillar of Soul Power. Her round, red lips curved slightly into a beautiful arc, and she softly uttered a few words. Then, a giant fire giant, exactly the same as Huo Wu now, appeared, rushed forward, and raised its hand to block the huge white pillar of light.
Fourth Soul Skill: Huo Wu's Radiant Sun!
Previously, the Scorching Flame Clone could only passively mimic and copy all of Huo Wu's actions and Soul Skill. However, in recent times, she has combined Ning Rongrong's Heart Separation Control Method to multitask, allowing the main body and the clone to act simultaneously, which is the situation now.
While the clone blocked the huge beam of light that Tuoba Xi spewed out, although it pushed the clone back step by step, carving two huge trenches in the ground that had turned into lava, the time gained was enough for Huo Wu to use the Ring Fusion, condensing all her Soul Power into the fireball above her head that had turned blazing white.
"You ground dragon, turn into charcoal! Let me show you that I, Huo Wu, am ten thousand times stronger than Shui Bing'er!"
The Scorching Flame Clone was ultimately just a clone, Soul Skill originally intended to Huo Wu attacks. When Huo Wu used it as a shield, it couldn't withstand a full-force attack from a Titled Douluo in his Martial Soul Avatar state. However, it was enough to block it for that short time. Huo Wu swung down the blazing white fireball held in one hand, carrying an intense heat that could incinerate everything, and it collided with the huge white pillar of light.
