Douluo Dalu: Seven Kills

Chapter 632 can only perform soul skills that add additional effects; after finishing trivial matters, I will go into seclusion to cultivate (two-in-one).

"boom--"

"hiss--"

Feeling the pain in his forehead and the swelling that could be felt by touch, even Dugu Xin, who had become a titled Douluo, subconsciously gasped.

Why did you hit so hard?

"Who told you to unleash your soul skill without saying a word?"

While flexing his index finger, Chen Junting savored the effect of the "Time Freeze" he had just witnessed. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "If their strength is similar to yours, this soul skill should be enough to control them for three seconds. But if it's much longer, it'll only last a second. If someone cultivates the time attribute, like me, the time can be even shorter, almost an instant. Although it's not exactly a divine skill, in a real battle between experts, having that one instant would be quite good."

"It is indeed very good."

At some point, Dugu Xin, whose forehead swelling had subsided, returned to his previous demeanor, his eyes showing satisfaction with his soul skill. However, what Chen Junting was more concerned about was whether the invulnerability function of the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb, under its reversed state, would actually achieve their intended effect.

So when faced with Chen Junting's question, Dugu Xin suppressed his excitement and chose to follow the voice of his heart.

"I think it's okay."

However, Chen Junting categorically denied this claim.

“Just ‘feeling’ isn’t enough; it has to be accurate.”

Just then, Ning Tian took out the sachet that Chen Junting had made based on the functions of the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Item and given to her for its anti-poison properties. "In that case, let's try it out."

"it is good."

Since the decision had been made, Dugu Xin naturally had no objections.

However, just in case, such as if the toxicity was too great and leaked into the air, endangering others, Chen Junting essentially sealed Dugu Xin and the sachet inside a soul-guided shield, completely isolating the person and the item.

As for him and Ning Tian…

The obvious choice is to stand outside the protective shield.

After all, if Dugu Xin's poison really reached that level, even ordinary gods would probably have to avoid its edge.

In this situation, one should not stand under a crumbling wall.

"Then I'll start."

Through the protective barrier, Dugu Xin looked at Chen Junting and Ning Tian, ​​who were standing ready, and nodded. He sighed, a hint of helplessness mixed with a smile. This had made him nervous too.

The next second, his eyes instantly transformed into snake eyes.

Almost simultaneously, the phantom of the Ten-Headed Azure Phosphorous Serpent King appeared behind him, and terrifyingly potent poisonous soul power surged around him, instantly wilting the grass beneath his feet. It looked as if he was about to die.

It's important to understand that this was under Dugu Xin's deliberate and precise control, solely due to the influence of his own aura. If it were a leak of poisonous soul power, even a tiny, insignificant leak, the grass wouldn't just be wilted; it would be completely poisoned, and the poison would likely spread.

"Om-"

A golden-patterned, blood-red soul ring rose up, and a flash of red light appeared.

Ninth Soul Skill - Where Poison Reaches, All Things Wither!

A shimmering emerald light enveloped Dugu Xin's entire body, and then, as if nothing else changed, he simply extended a finger and touched the sachet.

Meanwhile, the outside world.

"It seems that Xin's ninth soul skill is not an attack, but an amplification." Seeing that Dugu Xin did not change at all after using his ninth soul skill, but was only shrouded in a layer of emerald green light, Ning Tian guessed that his soul skill was probably an amplification effect.

However, observing Dugu Xin's actions, Chen Junting held a different view: "It's called an amplification, but it should actually be more of an additional effect soul skill. For example, it can transform all of one's poison attribute attacks into the effect of 'all poisons penetrate,' without changing the power."

"Really?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Tian turned his head and asked with a puzzled expression.

"should be."

Because from the aura that Dugu Xin was currently exuding, Chen Junting keenly sensed that his aura and momentum had not changed at all before and after he used this ninth soul skill.

He could tell that this wasn't a sign of Xin's restraint, but rather that the soul skill "wherever the poison reaches, all things wither" hadn't actually given him any boost. That's why he said this ninth soul skill simply added a "all poisons penetrate" effect to his poison. This undoubtedly showed that the power of Dugu Xin's ultimate poison was truly the same as before; it was just that there was no longer a "counteracter of all poisons," making it even more difficult to defend against.

This might be related to the fragrant and exquisite immortal product. Aside from resisting the toxins, there are basically no other methods.

Even so, Chen Junting couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

After all, this made his idea of ​​"using Dugu Xin's amplified poison to kill ordinary god-level powerhouses" unrealistic.

"Brother Junting, look!"

Just as Chen Junting was inwardly lamenting, Ning Tian's voice suddenly brought him back to his senses. He saw that the tiny drop of venom condensed at Dugu Xin's fingertip completely ignored the aura emanating from the sachet and went straight to the sachet itself. In the blink of an eye, the patterns on the sachet were completely destroyed!

And that drop of venom immediately began to evaporate!
In less than a second, all life force within the soul-guiding shield, except for Dugu Xin himself, completely vanished, and even seeped outwards from the shield along with the soil.

Even with the barrier of the soul guide shield...

Uh--

Or rather, it can't block it at all.

The protective shield shattered instantly, and poisonous gas swept out.

At this moment, even Chen Junting and Ning Tian felt their scalps tingle and retreated as fast as they could without hesitation!
As he retreated, Chen Junting continued to construct a soul power shield using his soul power. Even so, it only provided a barrier; it couldn't completely eliminate the poison. Because Dugu Xin's extreme poison had reached an incredibly terrifying level. Unless it was completely sealed off and destroyed by Wu Feng's ultimate fire, or Wu Feng and Huo Yuhao joined forces to refine the poison with ice and fire, this deadly poison was essentially unsolvable.

Even if spatial power is transferred, it is just a transfer.

Seeing the deadly poison raging and threatening to wipe out all the flowers and plants in his yard, Chen Junting was filled with regret. He should have gone to a deserted place to try it.

So, feeling a slight pang of regret,
"call--"

A burst of extreme cold emanated from Chen Junting's arm, instantly freezing the pervasive poisonous gas and the deadly toxins spreading across the ground before he withdrew his soul power shield.

I glanced at the deathly green under the frost.
"Oh dear—I've done something terrible."

Chen Junting glanced at Dugu Xin, who stood there innocently. "Xin, your soul skill has an additional effect, right?" "That's right."

Dugu Xin nodded repeatedly, but perhaps because he had just overheard Chen Junting and Ning Tian's conversation and the tone in their voices, he continued, "Actually, I'm quite satisfied with this soul skill. Because my true abilities don't ultimately lie in soul skills, but in poison techniques, so a soul skill that can compensate for the shortcomings of poison attacks is no less than a divine skill. Not to mention there's 'Time Freeze.' With both combined..." At this point, he suddenly looked at the two of them and smiled, then provocatively pointed at Chen Junting.

"To be honest, I'd even dare to challenge you."

Oh? !

Chen Junting raised an eyebrow, his expression unreadable.

How come you've suddenly become so brave?
"You're very confident."

"of course."

"Since you want to try, I don't mind."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Xin suddenly noticed the ambiguous smile on Chen Junting's face, and his heart skipped a beat. However, he quickly regained his composure and asked, "Then let's give it a try?"

"Walk?"

"go!"

Instantly, Chen Junting's lips curled into a wide smile.

So he turned to Ning Tian and said, "Xiao Tian, ​​go find Xiao Feng and ask her to come and help. We'll deal with him together when I bring him back after I've finished sparring with Xin."

Ning Tian smiled broadly and said, "Okay."

Then, Chen Junting walked over to Dugu Xin and put his hand on his shoulder, saying, "Let's go then."

After saying that, the two figures disappeared.

Ning Tian remained standing there, shaking his head helplessly before turning and leaving. He returned with Wu Feng in just a few minutes.

Just as she and Wu Feng stepped into the courtyard, Wu Feng and Ning Tian looked up at the sky at the same time, and a streak of light flashed by.

"Huh—, you're back so soon?"

Wu Feng had already learned what had happened from Ning Tian.

But how long has it been since they left? They were so confident when they went, but they're back so quickly. That's a bit pathetic.

"I am back."

The next second, Chen Junting landed gracefully. Compared to Dugu Xin, who was being carried by him, whose clothes were tattered and whose face was bruised and swollen, Chen Junting looked refreshed.

After Dugu Xin straightened up, Chen Junting looked at Wu Feng, who was standing next to Ning Tian as if watching amusement. "Little Feng, you're here. Perfect timing. You and Xin can help us deal with the poison that's frozen in the courtyard. Also, have Xin take you to the place where we just fought. Otherwise, it would be bad if the poison frozen there leaked out."

"No problem." As she agreed, she walked over to Dugu Xin and asked in a teasing tone, "How are you? Are you alright?"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Xin gave her a disgruntled look.

"What do you think?"

Wu Feng's smile remained unchanged. "What were you thinking? You've only just broken through to the Title Douluo level, and you dare to challenge the Sword Master?"

Dugu Xin remained silent, focusing solely on recovering from his injuries.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Wu Feng lost his interest in teasing him.

So the two of them worked together and quickly cleaned up all the poison in Chen Junting's mansion and the place where they had just fought, leaving no trace of it. As for the destroyed sachet, Wu Feng destroyed it directly.

After the event, Chen Junting and Ning Tian had their sect members rearrange and repair the lawn in the courtyard. In a short time, the damaged area was restored to its original state.

After doing all this, Chen Junting and Ning Tian decided to take the Qiankun Creation Pill and then enter a state of seclusion for cultivation.

However, after arriving at the secluded cultivation location under the ancient golden tree, Chen Junting watched Ning Tian consume and digest the Qiankun Creation Pill before leaving. He needed to take care of other trivial matters before going into seclusion, such as the remaining two pills.

Since there were two remaining, these two Qiankun Creation Pills were handed over to the sect for disposal. After Chen Junting explained their powerful effects, it immediately attracted the attention of the higher-ups, who promptly sealed the two pills away.

To borrow the words of the sect leader and the supreme elder, the gist of it is that they have reached this age, and giving them these two pills would be a waste. Moreover, even if there is a formula for these pills, they are difficult to refine, so they should be left for future disciples of the sect to maximize their potential.

Chen Junting had no objection to this.

After that, Chen Junting went to the Soul Guidance Research Institute again. This time, however, Xuan Ziwen learned of his return from Jing Ziyan and then specifically sent someone to find him.

The reason, as it is, is related to the metal material of the battle armor.

So, Chen Junting explained the concepts of "spirit forging" and "heavenly forging" to Xuan Ziwen. Although he hadn't studied these things in detail, he could still give a general overview. Besides this, there was also the "artificial soul bone technique" he had developed, which Xuan Ziwen was given free rein to explore.

This statement seemed to have driven Xuan Ziwen into a trance.

Before Chen Junting could even worry, Xuan Ziwen suddenly understood and began muttering things like "the blacksmithing industry is about to rise again." He asked Chen Junting for top-notch blacksmiths and also expressed his desire to leave behind the "Heavenly Tribulation Array" formation.

Upon hearing this, Chen Junting was delighted to learn that Xuan Ziwen had a complete overall plan for the battle armor. After all, the early appearance of the battle armor would allow them to further enhance their strength.

So after giving Xuan Ziwen what he needed, he also gave him a reminder: to discuss this matter with him after Uncle Tai, the Thousand-Jun Douluo, returned.

Because the most skilled blacksmiths on the Douluo Continent, besides the reclusive Haotian Sect, are probably only Uncle Tai.

After all, the advent of soul tools led to the decline of hidden weapons, leaving even top blacksmiths without a livelihood. This meant that no soul master with any real skill would choose the path of blacksmithing.

After fulfilling Xuan Ziwen's request and confirming that there were no other trivial matters left unresolved, Chen Junting also headed to the secluded cultivation spot under the Golden Ancient Tree.

Because he will not only need to take the Qiankun Creation Pill, but also simultaneously cultivate the two major cultivation methods of Martial Soul and Soul Core, and complete the breakthrough of the two methods.

To him, the 98th level was just a thin sheet of paper, easily broken with a touch.

What he really cares about is the class of '99!
Ning Tian and the others shared the same idea of ​​going into seclusion. As mentioned before, everything now had to give way to a breakthrough.

Fortunately, things are calm on the mainland right now, giving them ample time to develop. It's just uncertain how long this apparent peace can last…
