Douluo: I have too many clones

Chapter 547: Movements in the Abyss
"Is it his martial spirit?"

Observing closely, Lu Fa clearly discovered that when the heartbeat sound appeared, the seventh red soul ring among the eight soul rings on Aruheng's body fluctuated slightly, and a layer of fine light golden lines appeared on it.

Is this heartbeat a manifestation of his spirit's true form?

Lufa came to his senses instantly. No wonder, no wonder Aruheng's blood and energy rose again when the heartbeat sound appeared.

The sound of the heartbeat is deafening and shocking, and what's more terrifying is that it can cause a person's blood to fluctuate.

"Then I'm going to get serious about it."

Lufa let out a low roar, and his blood-red seventh soul ring began to light up. A phantom of Behemoth appeared behind him, and then turned from virtual to real and merged with him.

"Roar--"

Lufa roared towards the sky, venting his strength. Since obtaining the seventh soul ring, he has hardly had the opportunity to use this soul skill. This is the first time he has used it in battle.

Behemoth's roar and fierce heartbeat echoed each other, and Lufa was covered by the white-gold blood power. At the same time, a huge white halo appeared behind him.

"Innate Field: Devouring Heaven and Earth."

"Third Soul Skill: Behemoth Devouring Aura."

Composite domain: Aura that swallows the heavens and the earth.

All the energy molecules in the air gathered towards Lufa frantically. Lufa did not use battle armor, he simply used the soul master's ability to fight, otherwise he was afraid that he would accidentally kill A Ruheng.

Lufa's innate secret technique also started to work at full capacity at the same time. The platinum-colored light became increasingly intense, like a materialized liquid, flowing slowly around his body.

His innate secret method was different from Aruheng's, and although he had not awakened for the second time, the blessing it brought him was genuine. It was as if he was covered with an indestructible armor, which greatly improved his strength, speed, and defense.

Lufa's figure flashed, floating like a ghost, and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

The next moment, he appeared in front of A Ruheng, clenched his right hand into a fist, and blasted out fiercely, like a cannonball fired from a gun, with unparalleled power and speed.

After performing the innate secret technique, his body did not swell up like A Ruheng's, but it exuded a strange and dangerous aura, like an extremely compressed super-fixed soul guide shell, containing enough power to destroy everything, ready to go.

"Boom boom!" Amid the powerful heartbeat, Ah Ruheng also raised his head and roared. Then, he flashed and rushed towards Lufa without hesitation, like a burning meteor, with an indomitable momentum.

If the previous Aruheng was like a volcano, then he now was like the sun falling from the sky.

Facing such a violent and direct attack from Aruheng, Lufa did not dodge or evade. The two bodies collided head-on without any tricks, as if two planets had a violent collision in the vast universe.

"boom--"

There was a loud bang like thunder, shaking the entire arena slightly.

A Ruheng's body was like a kite with a broken string. It was instantly knocked away and flew backwards several feet.

Under this violent collision, the battle armor on his body made fine and teeth-grinding "squeaking" sounds, as if the metal was groaning in pain under the heavy burden. There were even some tiny cracks on the surface of the battle armor, like a broken spider web, spreading out.

"Isn't the innate secret method I'm practicing fake?"

This thought flashed through A Ruheng's mind, and this time, Lufa did not give A Ruheng any chance to breathe. He flashed and appeared in front of A Ruheng again as if he had teleported, at a speed so fast that it was shocking.

His right hand transformed into a huge Behemoth claw, which he swung out fiercely. The sharp claws flashed with cold light, like five deadly blades, grabbing directly towards Aruheng's chest.

The huge Behemoth claw drew an arc in the air, like a black lightning, and it slammed out with absolute speed and power. There was no skill at all. It was purely an absolute suppression of power, like a mountain pressing down on one's head, suffocating one.

"Dong dong!"

At the critical moment, Ah Ruheng's strange heartbeat sounded again, like the beating of a war drum. A layer of golden-red light spread out from his body, like a burning flame shield, emitting a blazing breath. He clenched his right fist and smashed it out suddenly.

Amidst the violent roar, A Ruheng's body flew backwards like a cannonball, hitting the protective shield in the distance hard, making a dull thud.

Under this huge impact, the battle armor wristband on his right hand was torn into pieces like a fragile piece of paper, turning into a pile of fragments that scattered all over the ground.

A Ruheng's body bounced back, Lufa rushed again, appeared in front of him with unparalleled ferocity, and punched him again.

Without any hesitation, A Ruheng punched out with his left fist.

"Bang!" Behemoth's claw and left fist collided fiercely again, like a fierce confrontation between steel and steel.

"Crack!" With the crisp sound of bones breaking, Aruheng's body fell from the sky.

Just when he was about to hit the ground, Lufa appeared beside him again, his momentum was like a rainbow, and terrifying power burst out again. He smashed down with both fists at the same time, fiercely hitting A Ruheng's body.

For those who have practiced innate secret techniques, a mere fracture is not a serious injury. After all, their bodies have been tempered by the secret techniques and are as tough as steel. Their recovery abilities far exceed those of ordinary people. It only takes a short time for them to recover as before.

If that's the case, Lufa will naturally show no mercy when he takes action.

"Ah!"

Ah Ruheng roared, and the golden-red light on his body became extremely hot and burst outwards, trying to push Lu Fa away with the power of qi and blood.

"Puff——" Unfortunately, the Behemoth claw stretched out forward, and the golden-red light was instantly torn apart. The Behemoth claw slammed heavily on A Ruheng's body, instantly leaving five horrifying claw marks on his two-word battle armor.

"Stop, stop, stop! Junior brother, stop it now! I admit defeat." At this moment, A Ruheng suddenly shouted with a hint of helplessness in his voice.

"Hmm?" Lufa's fist stopped immediately. "Brother, why is this happening? You should still have the strength to fight again."

Although the core of the two-word battle armor on Aruheng's body was torn by him, for Aruheng who practiced the innate secret method, his body was much stronger than the two-word battle armor.

Did he decide to give up after seeing that the core of the two-character battle armor was destroyed and could no longer provide him with amplification? But looking at A Ruheng's silly look, he should not be the kind of person who cares too much about the amplification of the battle armor, right?
Ah Ruheng looked at the broken battle armor core on his chest, with an expression that made him want to cry but could not. "I've been in big trouble this time. My two-character battle armor has been damaged like this. I don't know if Master is willing to pay for it for me." Ah Ruheng's voice was filled with helplessness and worry, as if he was telling a tragic story.

So he was worried that the battle armor would be completely destroyed? Lufa was speechless when he heard what A Ruheng said.

"Junior brother, I lost this competition." Fortunately, A Ruheng quickly regained his composure. He gave Lufa a thumbs up, his eyes full of admiration. "I admire your strength!"

He is not a person who cannot afford to lose. He has already tried every possible means in the situation just now, but was still suppressed by Lufa. If he is a hundred thousand year old soul beast, then Lufa is a ferocious beast.

I don’t know how my junior brother cultivated that extremely terrifying energy and blood power. Although he cannot undergo a second awakening, he is stronger than him who has undergone the third awakening in terms of power confrontation.

Moreover, Lufa obviously had some strength left in this battle and did not use his full strength.

Ah Ruheng had not forgotten that Lufa had never used a battle armor from beginning to end. The master had told him that his junior brother could perform the Heavenly Forging, and even if he did not have a four-character battle armor, he definitely had a three-character battle armor.

"Brother, thank you for letting me win." Since A Ruheng admitted defeat, Lu Fa naturally felt embarrassed to attack again.

"No, this time I accept defeat sincerely." A Ruheng touched his head and smiled foolishly.

Lu Fa nodded slightly and said, "Brother, your innate secret technique has already been mastered. This battle with you has benefited me a lot. I hope that when your innate secret technique is fully mastered, you can fight me again. By then, it will surely be even more exciting."

Ah Ruheng's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "Of course, of course. I like this kind of flesh-to-flesh feeling. Although I lost this time, don't worry, my previous promise still counts. If you have someone you don't like in the future, just tell me and I'll help you beat him up."

"You still have the nerve to say that you're helping your junior brother beat someone up!" At this moment, a sinister voice sounded from behind A Ruheng, causing his body to tremble.

Makino walked up to the ring with a dark face and slapped A Ruheng's big bald head hard, "It's okay that you are not as skilled as others, but why are you so stupid?"

"Teacher." A Ruheng shrank his head.

Looking at the damaged two-character battle armor on A Ruheng, Muye said with a dark face: "If you don't win the championship in this Star Battle Network Federation Challenge, I will show you how I will deal with you."

"Don't worry about this teacher."

Hearing what Muye said, A Ruheng immediately patted his chest and promised: "Except for my junior brother, no one below the Titled Douluo will be my opponent. I will definitely win the championship."

"I told you you were fat, but you're still panting." Muye slapped A Ruheng's bald head again, "You've forgotten what your master taught you, and you still dare to brag like this."

"If you don't get any good results in this Star Battle Network Federation Challenge, I will tell you how I will deal with you."

"Don't worry, teacher. I won't let you down."

Ah Ruheng first made a solemn promise, and then looked at Muye cautiously, with a hint of expectation in his eyes, "Teacher, I wonder if you can help me repair my battle armor."

"No." Muye snorted unhappily, "If you are so confident, then you might as well not use the battle armor. Didn't your master tell you before that if you want the resources of the three-character battle armor, you must first win the Star Battle Network Federation Challenge."

"Ah, why is this happening!" Ah Ruheng cried out in grief.

"One more thing." Muye once again instructed A Ruheng, "Your other junior brother may also participate in this competition. He is also a promising talent that I am very optimistic about. If you meet him on the competition stage, don't lose face for our Benti Sect, or you will suffer the consequences."

"Another Junior Brother?" A Ruheng touched his forehead and thought for a moment, "Oh, it's Junior Brother Wulin, right?"

"Yes, it's him. Don't underestimate him. His strength should not be underestimated. I have told you everything I should say. The rest depends on what you think." After Makino finished speaking, he turned around and left.

At this time, Lufa came over and comforted A Ruheng: "Don't worry, Senior Brother, I will help you reforge the damage to your two-character battle armor and you will be able to use it again soon."

Ah Ruheng immediately looked at Lu Fa with a touched expression, "Junior brother, you are such a nice person."

Makino turned his back, listening to the noise behind him, a smile forming on his lips.

……

In the west of the continent, the Blood God Legion.

Abyss passage.

"Boom, boom, boom!" A slight rumbling sound was transmitted through the passage.

A battalion commander of the Blood God Legion frowned slightly, staring at the direction of the obviously empty passage, and asked his deputy beside him: "Have you conducted a thorough investigation?"

"Captain, we have used detectors to conduct a comprehensive reconnaissance, and there is indeed no trace of any abyssal creatures. Our newly developed reconnaissance equipment can detect even possessed demons. At least on our side, we can be sure that there are absolutely no abyssal creatures.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

"But where does this sound come from?" the battalion commander asked dissatisfiedly.

The deputy smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know about that. We have already scouted all the passages, and the results are the same. There is indeed no sign of any abyssal creatures. Captain, don't be too cautious."

"It has only been a short time since the Abyss Tide! According to the past few thousand years, there should be no large-scale attacks for at least 20 to 30 years. Even if the impact of the Abyss Tide this time is not so fierce and the losses to the Abyss creatures are not too great, at least they should not be able to rush over in a short period of time. There is still a year or two of stability."

"I hope so. But I still feel a little uneasy. Anyway, you all should cheer up. Now is our duty day, and nothing can happen during this period, understand?"

"Yes!"

After the battalion commander gave instructions to his subordinates, he felt a little relieved.

Perhaps, it was because he had been feeling a bit stressed recently that he was so alert. Strange noises had appeared in the abyss passage before. Anyway, he didn't find anything during the reconnaissance, so he let it go.

The abyss passage returned to silence. There was no sign of any abyss creatures in any of the thirty-six branches. However, inside the main passage of the abyss passage that had been sealed for countless years, there was a slight thumping sound, and it seemed to be trembling slightly...
