I've Never Seen Flames with Such Powerful Energy Fluctuations!
Nine levels of Soul Power in exchange for four Martial Souls. Although Ghost Douluo had only used three so far, Ling Yuan thought those three alone had already made the deal a guaranteed profit.
At the very least, the sheer force of the character's skill was already enough to make her resort to her Martial Soul Avatar to withstand it.
"Damn it! You old hag! Did you have to use your Martial Soul Avatar? My character's only level one!"
Ghost Douluo shouted, but the greatsword in his hands was already slashing toward Ling Yuan Douluo.
By now, Ling Yuan had manifested her Martial Soul Avatar and transformed into a colossal Blazing Spirit Kite.
"Fourth Soul Skill, Flame Assault!"
Still in her avatar state, Ling Yuan Douluo unleashed another Soul Skill. The Blazing Spirit Kite she had become swelled even larger in an instant, flames boiling across her reddish-orange body.
The next moment, the Blazing Spirit Kite swooped straight at Ghost Douluo.
The scorching heat and explosive impact shattered the greatsword in Ghost Douluo's hands, leaving countless red crystals floating in midair.
Ghost Douluo was sent flying as well, but his body touched the red crystals, so he suffered only minor injuries when he tumbled to the ground.
The Blazing Spirit Kite laughed mockingly. "A skill with loud thunder and little rain, that's all it was. What other tricks do you have? Bring them out!"
It's cheating when I use a shield, but not when you use your Martial Soul Avatar, is that it... Ghost Douluo frowned slightly and prepared to get serious too, switching his character to Klee.
He switched to a fourth character?
Ling Yuan noticed the change in Ghost Douluo as well.
But she wasn't afraid. She was in her Martial Soul Avatar state now, so what was there to fear? She had just won a complete victory over Ghost Douluo!
So what if he said he was only level one right now? Who told him to act so arrogantly at level one?
With that thought, the fifth Soul Ring around Ling Yuan Douluo began to glow.
"Fifth Soul Skill! Blazing Fire Breath!"
The Blazing Spirit Kite hovering in the sky let out a piercing cry. She opened her mouth, a dazzling red light flashed within it, and a blast of scorching breath shot toward Ghost Douluo.
In front of Ghost Douluo, a magic book slowly opened.
[Klee - charged attack]
Shen Luo noticed that the level above Klee's head had changed to lv2. It seemed the fight with Ling Yuan Douluo had just given her enough experience to level up.
A red flower suddenly appeared in midair. Its petals opened, and a beam burst from its center.
"Boom!"
The beam struck Ling Yuan Douluo's fifth Soul Skill. The two fire skills canceled each other out, but Ghost Douluo still came off worse.
The energy from the explosion knocked him back several steps.
Soon, Ghost Douluo heard Ling Yuan sneer. "There's no force behind it at all. What are you showing off in front of me for?"
Ghost Douluo smiled as well. "How much longer can your Martial Soul Avatar last? I can use that skill of mine without limit."
"What?"
Ling Yuan Douluo cried out in shock and doubt. Then she witnessed a nightmarish sight.
[Klee - charged attack]
[Klee - charged attack]
[Klee - charged attack]
Blast after blast of fire came from Ghost Douluo's side, with scarcely any sign of a pause!
The Blazing Spirit Kite in midair dodged repeatedly, and several times she couldn't get out of the way in time and had to use a skill to interrupt the attacks. By now, Ling Yuan could feel how severely she had depleted herself.
She couldn't help shouting, "Don't you have to use up Soul Power?!"
Ghost Douluo said, "Like hell I do! I can keep blasting you until heaven crumbles and earth grows old! But now, prepare to meet your end."
Ling Yuan asked, "What do you mean? What end?"
Ghost Douluo smiled without answering and activated his ultimate move.
[Klee - Elemental Burst]
A cute girl with a pair of elf ears flew out of Ghost Douluo. The enormous projection of her body filled everyone's field of vision in an instant, leaving Ling Yuan Douluo staring in shock.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Klee's young voice imitated the sound of bombs as a red flower emerged from her.
When the image vanished, five enormous red flowers appeared, floating in the sky.
Like the muzzles of cannons, the five flowers pointed at the Blazing Spirit Kite from every angle.
At that instant, Ling Yuan sensed danger approaching. And at that very moment, her Soul Power was no longer enough to sustain her Martial Soul Avatar. The giant firebird returned to human form in an instant and landed on the ground.
"What is that?"
She couldn't help asking.
Ghost Douluo said, "Move a muscle, and it'll take your life."
Ling Yuan frowned, but still refused to back down. "I don't believe you."
The Eighth Soul Ring rose from her body, and a scorching presence surrounded her, like an energy field pieced together from flame energy.
"Eighth Soul Skill, Boiling Blood!"
The scorching energy swiftly burst forth from Ling Yuan, and immediately afterward, the five red flowers floating in the sky all turned toward her.
The terrifying red beams etched into everyone's memories appeared again. The five beams pierced Ling Yuan's eighth Soul Skill with ease.
As they were about to strike Ling Yuan, the woman finally felt the threat of death!
But the beams ultimately did not strike her, because Ghost Douluo canceled Klee's Elemental Burst in time.
There was a thud.
Tears glistened in Ling Yuan's eyes as she sat on the ground, looking pitiful and helpless. In truth, the sight just now had simply frightened her legs weak.
"What on earth... what on earth is all this? And why does that little girl keep leveling up?"
Ling Yuan pointed at Klee on Ghost Douluo.
Ghost Douluo looked and discovered that Klee had actually reached level three!
Shen Luo said, "Fighting someone with the same attribute grants experience. The stronger the opponent, the more experience gained."
"Great! My Klee is level three!"
Ghost Douluo said happily. And he had Elder Ling Yuan to thank for all of it!
He immediately stepped forward and helped Ling Yuan Douluo up from the ground. Only then did Ling Yuan belatedly realize what had happened, and she couldn't help saying, "So you wanted to fight me just to level her up!"
"Yes."
Yan answered, then showed her Xiangling as well.
Ling Yuan's eyes went wide. "You paid Soul Power too? How much did you pay?"
Yan said, "One level of Soul Power. But I got lucky and pulled two four-star characters in ten draws."
After saying that, he happily showed Ling Yuan Barbara too.
Hearing the word "four-star," Ling Yuan remembered that of Ghost Douluo's four characters, only the little girl who had just "finished" her had a five-star label above her head. The others were all four-star.
"That little girl's flames are incredible. I've never seen flames with such powerful energy fluctuations..."
Ghost Douluo folded his arms. "Now you know why we believe that lord is a god, right? Who on Douluo could have an ability like this?!"
Hearing this, Ling Yuan looked at Shen Luo with a complicated expression. She felt terribly embarrassed; her earlier words had practically slapped her in the face.
Just then, she suddenly noticed Chrysanthemum Douluo walking toward the stage as if possessed.
"What's Yue Guan going over there for?"
Ling Yuan suddenly called out.
