Reaching the pinnacle from Doupo

Chapter 366: One move, victory or defeat
"What does that look of yours mean?"

A message came from the Sky Dome Network. At the same time, within Lin Yuan's sight, Gu Xun'er's delicate eyebrows slightly wrinkled.

"Nothing, I just thought of some interesting things." Lin Yuan replied.

"Interesting... never mind. How are you arranging the meeting between me and Brother Xiao Yan? Can it be faster?" Although she was somewhat concerned about that subtle look, Gu Xun'er did not dwell on it and went straight to the point of talking about business.

"Don't worry, since it's something I've agreed to do, I will help complete it!" Lin Yuan smiled and soothed.

While Lin Yuan was communicating with Gu Xun'er, Qing Lin was also secretly sending a message: "Don't worry, Sister Xiao Yixian, judging from the content of their communication, the young master and Miss Xun'er do not have that kind of relationship."

After receiving the message, Xiao Yixian nodded slightly with relief, and then turned her gaze to the arena.

"The third match, Soul Dan, Thunder."

Just as everyone was talking about the previous match and Huo Zhi's appearance, Mang Tianchi's voice rang out again, causing the entire place to suddenly become quiet.

All eyes suddenly shifted and stopped at the man in silver shirt on the platform.

The man sat upright like a pine tree, and seemed to be aware of the burning gazes from all around him. He slowly opened his eyes, and in an instant, a fierce aura surged out, like a sleeping lion waking up...

The Thunder Clan’s divine bloodline is thundering. It is the most popular divine bloodline in this conference.

He stood up with steady steps. As he moved, the violent and domineering aura on his body became more powerful, causing the people of the same tribe around him to bow and make way involuntarily.

He walked slowly to the railing, stepped suddenly on the ground, and his figure instantly turned into a dazzling flash of lightning and disappeared on the spot.

Then, colorful lightning fell from the sky, transforming into a thunderous and tall figure.

"One move!" Lei Dong raised a finger, looked at the Hun Dan who had stepped onto the stage without knowing when, and said proudly: "Evil Hun clan bastard, I'll give you a chance, use your strongest means! If I can't defeat you with one move, I, Lei Dong, will admit defeat on the spot..."

Such a domineering declaration instantly agitated the war-loving members of the Thunder Clan, and they immediately burst into earth-shaking cheers.

“Arrogant!” Hundan’s face suddenly changed, his deep eyes flashed with a sinister light, staring at Lei Dong intently, “One move? Hehe, I, Hundan, am not that easy to deal with… The clan pattern secret method, activate!”

Before he finished speaking, the Soul Clan emblem on his forehead suddenly surged to the peak of a four-star Dou Zun.

"Dark Skeleton King!"

Hun Dan shouted in his heart, and suddenly black mist surged out of his body, enveloping the entire arena in the blink of an eye.

As the seals on his hands changed, the black mist filled with cold and gloomy energy intertwined and condensed. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a black skeleton hundreds of feet tall, tightly wrapping his body inside. He looked like a skeleton evil god, standing on the ancient obsidian arena.

Black fog rolled endlessly on its surface, and a heart-pounding cold and oppressive pressure surged out from the skeleton, making everyone present feel a bit chilly.

"Low-level Heavenly Rank Fighting Skill, Dark Skeleton King?"

Looking at the black skeleton standing on the ground, emitting a strong visual impact, Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking about something in his mind.

The Dark Skeleton King was an extremely rare Heaven-level fighting skill. Once it was successfully condensed with fighting spirit, it would become indestructible and immune to water and fire. Moreover, its entire body contained terrifying cold energy that was enough to destroy its body and soul.

This Dark Skeleton King, who is capable of both offense and defense, is the signature fighting skill of Gu You, the second celestial master of the Soul Palace, and is the best among the low-level celestial fighting skills.

“Come on, the divine bloodline of the Thunder Clan!” After condensing the Dark Skeleton King, Hun Dan’s confidence soared, and there was a hint of pride in his cold voice, “If you are really capable, break my Dark Skeleton King with one move. Otherwise, just do as you said before... admit defeat!”

As he spoke, a hint of mockery emerged on his face, and he sneered, "You will have to pay the price for speaking nonsense! Hehehe..."

Thinking of the reward he would get if he eliminated Lei Dong, Hun Dan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, and a hint of anticipation flashed in his eyes.

He changed his hand seals again, and the Dark Skeleton King quickly twisted and deformed, turning into layers of dark bone shields, forming an indestructible defense, firmly guarding himself in the center.

Obviously, Hundan knew that he could not defeat Lei Dong head-on, and tried to use Lei Dong's "one move" to eliminate him.

“A summer insect cannot speak of the ice, and a frog in a well cannot speak of the sea.”

Lei Dongjing waited for Hun Dan to finish his preparations, then looked at the huge black skeleton with a disdainful smile on his face, and said indifferently: "Haha, Hun Clan ant, this little trick is meaningless to me, just wait and see how I smash your tortoise shell."

As the last word fell, vast colorful lightning surged out from his body, covering half of the sky, and a violent aura suddenly spread.

"Condensation——"

A low shout was heard, and crackling electric snakes gathered in Lei Dong's palm, transforming into a silver spear over ten feet long.

He threw the spear into the air, and quickly flipped his hands, forming a series of mysterious hand seals.

"Demon Thunder Meteor, Divine Sharp Edge!"

The moment the handprint fell, the Thunder Spear spun rapidly, rolling up a huge energy vortex in the air, swallowing up the colorful lightning in the sky and releasing dazzling colorful light.

The light dissipated, and a dazzling colorful spear with arcs of lightning suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes.

This colorful spear is several meters long and is full of light all over. Only the tip of the spear pointing at Hundan is as dark and lightless as a black hole, exuding a ferocious aura that makes people's heart palpitate.

Looking at the colorful spear, everyone felt a chill in their hearts, and Hundan was sweating profusely - this attack was extremely terrifying!
"Soul Clan kid, remember this with your body..."

Lei Dong showed a bloodthirsty smile on his face, his eyes became extremely sharp, and he swung his hand down suddenly, "Thunder attribute fighting spirit is the most lethal fighting spirit!"

When the palm landed, the colorful light on the surface of the spear suddenly became stronger, and a powerful energy ripple quickly spread out, and the surrounding space instantly collapsed. The colorful spear turned into a gorgeous colorful stream of light and rushed straight towards the Dark Skeleton King.

The colorful light rushed forward, bringing with it a sharp sound of breaking wind, and wherever the tip of the gun passed, it left behind long and neat cracks in the space.

The moment they made contact, the lightning arc on the colorful spear suddenly expanded and turned into a dazzling lightning column, releasing a blazing light that made everyone squint their eyes unconsciously.

"boom--"

Accompanied by a deafening bang, the colorful lightning spear and the dark bone shield collided violently.

This world seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force. Lightning and black fog intertwined, just like the chaos when the world was first created, releasing heart-pounding waves of destruction.

The black fog on the surface of the Dark Skeleton King quickly dissipated as if it had encountered snowflakes of fire.

Under the impact of the lightning, spider-web-like cracks quickly appeared on the solid bone shield. The next moment, the dark edge of the lightning spear tip tore through the bone shields like a broken bamboo, completely penetrating the defense that Hun Dan thought was indestructible. "No! This is impossible!" Hun Dan's voice sounded weak and desperate in the roar.

He never thought that the Dark Skeleton King, whom he was so proud of, would be on the verge of collapse within just this one short move.

He tried to defend himself, but the destructive force was as unstoppable as a tsunami.

Finally, accompanied by a crisp cracking sound, the lightning spear like a heavenly punishment pierced through the last layer of bone shield and shot to the side of Hun Dan who was heavily protected.

"It's over, explode!" Under Hundan's horrified eyes, Lei Dong clenched his right palm violently.

The colorful lightning spear trembled slightly, and then exploded completely with a roar. The colorful energy torrent swept out immediately, submerging Hun Dan's figure. The dark skeleton king also completely disintegrated under the ravages of the colorful lightning and dissipated into the air.

A moment later, the energy torrent dissipated, and a dying figure fell from the sky, announcing the final result of the competition.

"The third competition, Lei Dong wins!"

The space swayed slightly, and Mang Tianchi's figure appeared on the stage. He glanced at the soul girl in the dust and announced loudly.

As his announcement was made, the stands were filled with deafening cheers from the Thunder Clan, rushing straight to the sky like a tidal wave, and even the distant dark clouds began to waver.

Looking at Lei Dong standing tall in the square, a hint of fanaticism flashed in everyone's eyes - defeating the enemy with one move, this is the number one prodigy of the Lei clan.

Amid the cheers of the crowd, Lei Dong smiled, waved to everyone, and then as the cheers grew louder... he confidently bowed to Xun'er in the stands.

Seeing this, the stands suddenly became noisy, with heated discussions one after another.

"Oh...oh...oh..."

"Is it Miss Xun'er that you like? Brother Lei Dong, you have good taste..."

"Brother Lei Dong and Miss Xun'er, one has a divine bloodline, and the other is the daughter of that master, the most outstanding bloodline of the ancient clan. They are a perfect match...

"After this ceremony, I should be able to propose marriage!"

"Then the honor of winning the Earth Ranking Championship in this martial arts ceremony is the best gift - the best gift that Brother Lei Dong can give to Miss Xun'er."

"I really envy……"

As they spoke, many eyes turned towards the ancient clan and towards Xun'er.

However, this time Xun'er did not lose her composure, nor did she avoid these gazes. She just closed her eyes with an indifferent expression, waiting for the noise around her to dissipate.

At the same time, Lin Yuan, who was sitting at the Danta seat, received a message from Yu Heng through the Skynet: "Lin Yuan, how is Brother Xiao Yan?"

"Don't worry, it's okay." He glanced at Xiao Yan, who was hiding his eyes with his head down, smiled playfully, and continued to transmit: "Although he is a little unhappy at the moment, he can still see the situation clearly and will not do anything stupid or irrational here."

"Xun'er, perhaps I should remind you once again that your brother Xiao Yan is not as fragile as you think..."

Hearing this, Gu Xun'er felt relieved, but at the same time she also felt a little lost - it was unwise to risk one's life for a beauty, but for the person one was hurting from... it wasn't a bad thing!

"I understand!" She shook her head and put away the slight regret in her heart. "Besides, I have something to ask of you..."

"It's not right to calculate the money... Are you calculating the favors?" Lin Yuan replied immediately.

After receiving the message from Lin Yuan, Gu Xun'er's body stiffened slightly and her face darkened a little - although she didn't care about any man other than Xiao Yan, she was a little unhappy that Lin Yuan was so picky about her.

No matter where she was, there was no shortage of people who took the initiative to show their courtesy to her, and at the very least, her requests would almost never be rejected.

Don’t you see, there is a person with divine bloodline showing courtesy to her, but this guy Lin Yuan treats her simply... just as an ordinary partner, and speaks only of interests.

In Lin Yuan's eyes, is she, Gu Xun'er, the princess of the ancient clan, so insignificant?

Taking a deep breath, Gu Xun'er suppressed her emotions and replied, "It's a favor! Later, if you go up against that annoying guy Lei Dong, help me give him a good humiliation."

Lin Yuan raised his eyebrows: "So ruthless? That guy has a great liking for you..."

Gu Xun'er frowned slightly: "I don't need his affection and courtesy. Instead, it makes me and Brother Xiao Yan very unhappy."

"Is that so?" Having regained some of the feeling of chatting with netizens, Lin Yuan suddenly became interested and sent a message with interest: "Xun'er, I have something to say, but I don't know if I should say it or not?"

Gu Xun'er: "If you have something to say, just say it. There's no need to hide it."

Lin Yuan: "Why are you so obsessed with Xiao Yan? Lei Dong's conditions are quite good. His appearance, cultivation, background, bloodline, etc. are much better than Xiao Yan's. You and him are a perfect match. Why don't you consider changing someone else? (Playful)"

Gu Xun'er: "When it comes to love, you don't need too many reasons! Also, don't ask such meaningless questions (unhappy), just tell me directly whether you agree to the conditions."

Lin Yuan: "What a boring person..."

Gu Xun'er: "So, do you agree to this request?"

Lin Yuan: "I refuse!"

Gu Xun'er frowned and glanced at Lin Yuan, only to see the latter showing a teasing smile, and a slightly sarcastic message was also conveyed.

"Xun'er, you overestimate the value of your favors, hehe..."
-
On the stage, Lei Dong saw that Gu Xun'er did not respond, his eyes became a little dull, and his interest unconsciously diminished a bit.

At this moment, the beauty looked at a man, her eyes narrowed slightly, that guy was...

"Lei Dong, go down and rest for a while and prepare for the next battle!" Mang Tianchi interrupted Lei Dong's thoughts, patted him on the shoulder, and warned him in a low voice: "Your next opponent is not simple, be careful..."

"Thank you, Mr. Mang, for the reminder. I understand!" Lei Dong calmed down, looked at Lin Yuan deeply, and then flashed back to the Lei clan's seat.

Then, he closed his eyes and focused on adjusting his state... No matter who his opponent was, he would let Xun'er know that he, Lei Dong, was her strongest and most suitable partner.

On the other side, Mang Tianchi waved his hand and sent the soul pills back to the soul clan's seats, then announced the last group of competitions.

"The last match of the second round, Shi Yi, Hun Feng!"
