Ling Yuan Douluo? My Maid Noelle Can Cleave Through the Nine Heavens with One Sword!

Hearing Shen Luo's words, Ghost Douluo looked toward the platform.

Shen Luo said, "The fire in the Vaporize Reaction was hers. If it had been Klee's fire, she should be injured by now."

Ghost Douluo nodded.

He knew Ling Yuan had fallen because she had been caught off guard.

In a head-on fight, Ling Yuan probably wouldn't have gone down so quickly, and Sucrose and Xingqiu's skills probably wouldn't have been enough to defeat her. After all, all the characters were still in their initial state.

Even so, they were far stronger than a Martial Soul with level-one Soul Power. After all, he was fighting a Titled Douluo right now.

Ghost Douluo switched to Klee and saw that the experience bar above his good daughter's head had indeed gained a little, though she was still level one.

Fighting fire-attribute Soul Masters really did work!

"What were all those abilities just now? Why were they so bizarre?"

Ling Yuan Douluo stood up, a whole string of question marks practically hanging over her head!

Ghost Douluo grinned from ear to ear. "Do you believe me now? Those Martial Souls I just used were all level one, and they can even go up to level ninety. You should be glad they aren't level ninety yet."

"Glad?"

Ling Yuan Douluo sneered. "I don't care what level they are. You think I lost to you just now? I didn't lose! Besides, you ambushed me!"

Despite what she said, Ling Yuan had indeed seen the level numbers above the characters' heads, and they did currently show level one.

She just didn't know whether it was true that they could reach level ninety...

If it was true, and Martial Souls at their initial level could have such power... no, Martial Souls at their initial level shouldn't have skills at all!

She was truly baffled now. What the hell were all these things? She had never seen anything like them.

Seeing that Ling Yuan refused to accept it, Ghost Douluo raised an eyebrow. "Then shall we go again?"

"Again!"

Ling Yuan silently retreated a little farther, somewhat wary of that bizarre wind field from before. How was she supposed to fight when she was inside it, getting tossed into the air over and over?

But just then, she noticed that Ghost Douluo had switched characters again!

Ling Yuan Douluo was on the verge of breaking down. Just how many Martial Souls had Ghost Douluo exchanged for??

"Another one? Just how much Soul Power did you give that fellow?"

Ghost Douluo said, "Nine levels."

"Huh?"

Ling Yuan froze. She had thought Ghost Douluo had given that actor most of his Soul Power.

It turned out to be only nine levels of Soul Power.

If nine levels of Soul Power got him four Martial Souls, even if they only had four skills, it didn't seem like much of a loss...

And apparently they could keep leveling up, too.

Pah! Pah, pah, pah!

Ling Yuan frowned.

I don't believe it!

Why am I suddenly making excuses for Ghost Douluo's stupidity?!

Ling Yuan Douluo hurriedly cursed herself out in her heart.

Nine Soul Rings rose from her body, and flames gathered once more into the shape of her Martial Soul.

The character Ghost Douluo now had out was the maid Noelle. Since Ling Yuan suspected that Sucrose's wind-field control was "cheating," Ghost Douluo wouldn't use it.

He would make Ling Yuan accept her defeat wholeheartedly.

To be honest, Ghost Douluo had a pretty good impression of Shen Luo. Though the benefits weren't exactly free, they still amounted to a gift. Even his toes could tell him he hadn't lost out; he had made a killing instead.

With such a formidable figure, never mind whether he was a god, Ling Yuan had insulted him right off the bat. Ghost Douluo felt a little indignant on Shen Luo's behalf.

What if she offended this big shot and made him leave Spirit City? Where would Ghost Douluo go to pull a signature weapon for his good daughter Klee then?

Pull it out of Ling Yuan's ass crack? That damned woman.

"First Soul Skill! Fire Line Cutting!"

The First Soul Ring on Ling Yuan's body lit up, and a scorching cord of fire lashed toward Ghost Douluo across from her.

[Noelle-Elemental Skill!]

At that instant, the White Iron Greatsword appeared in Ghost Douluo's hand. He braced himself with the sword, and an ochre crystal shield quickly appeared around him.

Ling Yuan snorted. "Watch me whip your shield apart!"

"Crack!"

Her fiery whip did indeed shatter Noelle's Elemental Skill, but several red, diamond-shaped crystals were left floating in midair.

Like a narrator, Shen Luo said, "The fire skill and the geo skill triggered Crystallize. Go touch a crystal; there's a surprise."

Another special reaction caused by combining elements?

Ghost Douluo wondered, then hurriedly did as Shen Luo said and bumped into the red crystal nearest him.

The next moment, a round, pale-red shield enveloped him.

Ling Yuan Douluo froze. "Another shield?"

Ghost Douluo was also a little surprised. Touching a crystal actually formed a shield around him!

He smiled and raised an eyebrow. "That's right. Come on, keep whipping if you dare!"

Ling Yuan was ruthless and had few words to spare. Another fiery lash came whipping in, shattering Ghost Douluo's shield.

But several crystals were still floating in midair. Ghost Douluo touched another, and a new shield formed!

Chrysanthemum Douluo stared in disbelief. This geo character could fucking do that too?

Ghost Douluo said, "Haha, keep going!"

Ling Yuan gritted her teeth, gave a low cry, and lashed out again.

The shield broke, and he touched another crystal.

"Hey, I've got another one!"

Ling Yuan shouted furiously, "Ah!!!!"

After he had touched all the crystals, the Elemental Skill's cooldown was over. Ghost Douluo used it again, and when Ling Yuan's whip struck, several more red crystals appeared in midair.

Ghost Douluo was practically laughing himself silly.

Looking at the panting Ling Yuan, he raised his middle finger in extreme provocation.

Ling Yuan broke down and shouted, "You're not allowed to touch those anymore! You're cheating!!"

She knew full well the shields weren't that sturdy, but they were just enough to block her First Soul Skill!

Yet after using her First Soul Skill so many times, she had nearly spent most of her Soul Power, while Ghost Douluo didn't look as though he had spent any at all. Instead, he had shield after shield!

Only now did Ling Yuan Douluo truly understand how terrifying those characters were.

No, how bizarre!!!

Getting them for nine levels of Soul Power doesn't seem like a loss...

Pah! Stupid Ling Yuan, they're leading you into a ditch again. Stand firm!

In fact, Ghost Douluo was keeping his own trump card in reserve, leaving Klee unused.

He believed that once this genuine five-star came out, Ling Yuan would absolutely have a mental breakdown on the spot, but that would be no fun.

Ghost Douluo folded his arms. "All right, I won't use shields anymore."

It was a perfect chance to try Noelle's Elemental Burst. Ghost Douluo had suddenly grown somewhat fond of this four-star character.

[Noelle-Elemental Burst]

He held the White Iron Greatsword, and in the next instant, something changed!

Seemingly seeing what Ghost Douluo intended, Shen Luo said solemnly, "Everyone, get back!"

And next, everyone finally understood why Shen Luo had suddenly warned them.

The entire White Iron Greatsword suddenly radiated a powerful yellow light. Ghost Douluo gripped it with both hands, and the sword Qi from his slash was actually more than ten meters long!

One sweep of the sword, and a wave of force overturned the heavens!

Ling Yuan Douluo retreated, fear on her face, and immediately shouted, "Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul Avatar!"

Whatever the power of this skill was, its imposing force was undeniable, and Ling Yuan Douluo didn't dare underestimate it.

All right, she admitted it.

She had been wrong. That opera-singing fellow had some real ability!

P.S.

I hope everyone keeps up with the story every day!

The later plot will be very interesting: everyone will be grinding materials and running weekly bosses, and every character in Douluo will make an appearance.
