Douluo: The Peerless King of Beast Tamers

Chapter 258 The battle is over
On the training ground, which was completely filled with ice, the energy generated by the two was like a biting cold wind howling, like countless ice blades cutting into faces.

The ice surface reflected a chilling light, filling the entire space with a somber atmosphere.

The three-meter-tall Hulk, undead by poison, resembled a towering mountain. He held a two-meter-long spiked club, as thick as an arm, in one hand. The sharp barbs on the club gleamed coldly, pointing directly at Zhou Sichen in the center of the arena.

Zhou Sichen stood tall and straight, his hands gripping the spear tightly, the extreme elements of ice and fire flowing wildly across the spear shaft.

Behind him, the elemental forces of red and blue converged into two flowing cloaks that fluttered and rustled with every movement he made, like burning flames intertwining with surging waves, adding to his heroic spirit.

However, Zhou Sichen, under such extreme elemental burst conditions, was losing his soul power at an extremely rapid pace.

Knowing that time was of the essence, he suddenly roared, his voice booming like a bell, causing the surrounding ice to tremble slightly. In an instant, his spear surged forth like a dragon emerging from the sea, carrying boundless momentum as it thrust towards Poison Undying.

"Come on!" Zhou Sichen's voice was firm and powerful, echoing in the empty training ground.

Seeing this, Poison Undying let out a wild roar, raised his giant spiked club high with both hands, and slammed it down with tremendous force towards Zhou Sichen's elemental spear.

"boom!"

A deafening roar erupted as two figures, one large and one small, collided rapidly in the training ground.

The massive block of ice, originally formed by the explosion of the Ice Emperor's Wrath, gradually crumbled into tiny ice shards under the terrifying impact, scattering like snowflakes.

During the fierce battle, Zhou Sichen was able to completely predict every attack from Du Busi because he had activated his mental detection.

Just moments before Poison Undying launched its attack, Zhou Sichen was able to discern its intentions and launch a counterattack in advance.

The two clashed in close combat, their fists whistling and spears flashing. The more Du Bu Si fought, the more he felt something was wrong.

Although Zhou Sichen's current strength is far inferior to his own, it seems that every attack he makes is seen through by the opponent, and he was almost hit by the spear containing terrifying elemental power several times.

Poison Undying narrowly dodged Zhou Sichen's tricky attack once again, letting out a ferocious laugh: "How come you can always predict my attacks?"

Zhou Sichen's lips curled up slightly, and he smiled without saying a word. Taking advantage of the moment when Du Busi was distracted, he suddenly exerted force with his spear.

With a single move, "Sweeping Through a Thousand Armies," the spear, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, deflected Poison Undying's spiked club. Immediately afterward, the spear tip spun and swiftly thrust towards Poison Undying's groin.

Poison Undying's eyes narrowed, and he secretly thought something was wrong. Instantly, emerald green poison gas surged in his left palm, like a surging dark green wave. He raised his hand and pressed down, using the poison gas as a priority, firmly pressing Zhou Sichen's spear to the ground.

"Kid, you can't fight in this position," Du Bu Si said through gritted teeth, his voice tinged with anger.

He successfully isolated the extreme flames of ice and fire using poison gas, thus firmly controlling the flaming spear.

At the same time, he quickly spun the spiked club in his right hand, and with a whooshing sound, he smashed it down directly on Zhou Sichen's head.

If this blow lands squarely, Zhou Sichen's skull will shatter, and his life will be in danger.

Zhou Sichen reacted extremely quickly, instantly releasing the flaming spear with both hands. He moved forward swiftly like a phantom, taking advantage of the gap in Poison Undying's attack to circle directly behind him.

"Boom!"

The spiked club slammed heavily onto the ground, the immense force causing the training ground to tremble violently and leaving a deep crack in the ground.

Zhou Sichen circled behind Du Busi and made a fist with both hands. A surge of powerful soul energy instantly materialized into a flaming spear.

The flaming spear that had been pinned to the ground by the poisoned man's left hand had vanished, as if it had never existed.

"Look at the gun!"

Zhou Sichen shouted and aimed at Du Busi's buttocks, raising his gun and thrusting it straight in.

"Hey—you brat!"

Poison Undying let out a pig-like scream as the excruciating pain in his buttocks made him shudder.

He roared, and a ring of emerald green soul power rippled out from his body. A chilling poisonous mist surged out from his body, forming a poisonous cloud that sent Zhou Sichen flying.

Du Bu Si clutched his buttocks, wincing in pain, with large beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.

However, the next second, he suddenly realized that the situation was bad: "It's over, that's my life-saving poison."

The other elders of the Body Sect who were watching the battle also changed their expressions drastically. One of them exclaimed, "That's the Sect Master's natal poison! Even Title Douluos dare not touch it lightly. This kid..."

Their faces were filled with shock and worry, their eyes fixed on Zhou Sichen in the room.

Poison Undying reacted quickly, immediately withdrawing the poison mist and then turning to run towards Zhou Sichen.

He was filled with unease and desperately wanted to know about Zhou Sichen's situation.

When Du Bu Si arrived in front of Zhou Si Chen, he saw the kid lying on the ground with a smile on his face.

Aside from being as pale as paper due to excessive consumption of soul power, Zhou Sichen showed no signs of poisoning whatsoever.

At this moment, Zhou Sichen had already withdrawn his martial spirit and looked at Du Busi with a helpless expression.

"Sect Master, it was just a little nudge to the butt, it shouldn't be this brutal, right? That terrifying pressure just now, even an ordinary Soul Saint would probably be crushed into mincemeat." Zhou Sichen said with a wry smile, his voice carrying a hint of teasing.

Du Bu Si was stunned at first, as if he was shocked by Zhou Si Chen's bold and outrageous behavior, and it took him a while to come back to his senses.

He looked helpless and said irritably, "You're really ruthless, kid. If my defenses weren't strong enough, and you had actually stabbed me in, I would have been in real trouble."

The tone was like a complaint, yet also carried a hint of relief that Zhou Sichen was alright.

After confirming that Zhou Sichen was alright, Du Busi couldn't help but complain.

Anyone would be furious if they were stabbed like that, especially since the attack carried extreme ice and fire elements. If it were anyone else, they would probably be writhing on the ground in pain and unable to fight back.

If it weren't for his profound cultivation and the powerful enhancement of his two ten-thousand-year soul rings, that attack just now would have been enough to cause him great pain.

Zhou Sichen chuckled, a hint of playfulness on his face: "I had no choice but to use my soul bone, but I still couldn't break through your defenses, Sect Master. I can only try to find your weakness."

Poison Undying stepped forward and pulled Zhou Sichen up, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes: "You're really as slippery as an eel. Although I suppressed my power to just over yours, I still didn't let you suffer a single setback."

In this competition, Zhou Sichen's quick thinking and tenacious resistance impressed Du Busi. Zhou Sichen smiled modestly and waved his hand repeatedly: "Taking a shortcut, taking a shortcut."

The onlookers were puzzled to see that Zhou Sichen was unharmed and even chatting and laughing with the sect leader.

The sect leader's innate poison just now was like a surging dark green tide, completely enveloping Zhou Sichen. Under such a potent poison, an ordinary person would probably have turned into pus by now.

But Zhou Sichen was completely unharmed, as if nothing had happened, which was really hard to understand.

Poison Undying was also full of doubts and couldn't help but ask, "You were just enveloped by the poison I released in my desperation, how come you're completely unharmed?"

Zhou Sichen smiled and explained slowly, "Has the sect leader forgotten that both extreme ice and extreme fire are natural counters to all poisons?"

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly realized, "Oh, I see."

The elders, who had been full of doubts, now showed expressions of relief, exchanged glances and nodded, secretly admiring Zhou Sichen's profound understanding and skillful use of his own martial soul attributes.

Poison Undying finally understood and patted his head: "I knew it! No wonder you were perfectly fine."

In fact, besides this reason, Zhou Sichen also developed an immune system to all poisons due to the Ice and Fire Body Refining technique.

Therefore, even without the ultimate power of ice and fire, Zhou Sichen was not afraid of his innate poison, which could not kill him.

However, the final blow, the overwhelming pressure of Poison Undying's level 98 soul power, crashed down like Mount Tai, making Zhou Sichen feel quite uncomfortable.

The terrifying pressure made his body feel as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer, and his internal organs were shaking violently.

But he could understand, after all, he had stabbed someone in the buttocks that were not poisonous enough to kill, and it was normal to lose control of the force in that urgent situation.

But Zhou Sichen originally didn't intend to poke his butt, after all, he wasn't a person with a perverse sense of humor.

The main reason was the effect of the sixth soul skill of Poison Undying, which caused his height, which was already over two meters, to increase to three meters. When Zhou Sichen attacked, he stabbed right in that awkward spot.

In retrospect, this was an accident, a misunderstanding caused by the fact that the poison didn't kill him.

Looking at the exhausted Zhou Sichen, Long Aotian was filled with shock. He then said to Vina beside him:
"The vice sect master is indeed very strong. His second spirit only has two spirit rings, yet he was able to fight the sect master to such an extent. Now I truly believe that he only used 30% of his strength against me yesterday."

His voice was full of admiration. Recalling his encounter with Zhou Sichen yesterday, he realized that what he had faced was just the tip of the iceberg.

Vina couldn't help but exclaim, "He looks to be about our age. To be able to participate in the competition, he must be no more than twenty years old. Such talent and strength are truly extraordinary."

Her gaze followed Zhou Sichen closely, her eyes filled with envy and admiration.

Just as the two were sighing to each other, Du Busi had already left the training ground with Zhou Sichen.

Zhou Sichen only suffered a huge depletion of soul power in this battle, but did not suffer any major injuries.

Although the final poison attack was powerful, Zhou Sichen's physical condition was strong enough, and after being transformed by the Life Gold, his recovery ability was also stronger than imagined.

After Du Busi and Zhou Sichen left, the elders also left the training ground one after another, with only the Grand Elder Jin Peng staying behind to supervise the remaining disciples.

While using his soul power to clear away the ice shards on the training ground, Jin Peng urged, "Did you all see that? Our deputy sect leader, with only two soul rings and without even reaching the second awakening of his original martial soul, was able to fight the sect leader to this extent. You are still far behind!"

His voice was stern and powerful, echoing across the training ground and inspiring every disciple to strive for excellence.

Poison Immortal personally escorted Zhou Sichen back to his courtyard. On the way, Poison Immortal was filled with doubts and finally couldn't help but ask:
"Why are you always able to predict my attacks, even when I'm under your pressure? Is it because of the soul skill of your platinum soul ring?"

Zhou Sichen raised his head and nodded calmly: "That's right. This soul ring has given me a powerful soul skill. I can let you experience it when my soul power recovers."

Poison Immortal nodded slightly, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes, and then said, "Speaking of which, I'm also a little curious. Why is the first spirit ring of your original spirit this color?"

"It doesn't seem like a ten-year spirit ring, but it doesn't feel any weaker than your second spirit ring either." This question seemed to have been lingering in his mind for a long time, and he finally asked it now.

Upon hearing this question, Zhou Sichen's heart tightened slightly, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes as he pondered whether or not to reveal the matter of the million-year soul ring.

After a brief silence, he weighed the pros and cons and ultimately decided to keep the secret.

He paused, then explained earnestly, "This spirit ring is quite special. When it was absorbed using the spirit method, the color of the spirit ring changed."

The reason Zhou Sichen chose not to reveal the truth was also due to a strong sense of unease deep within her heart.

He secretly wondered, what if Poison Undying thought that a million-year soul ring might produce some good things?
Although Du Bu Si was an upright person and this situation was almost impossible, Zhou Si Chen knew that people's hearts were unpredictable. Since it involved such an earth-shattering secret as a million-year soul ring, he still decided to act cautiously and chose to keep it a secret.

Poison Undying nodded thoughtfully and said in a low voice, "I see."

He didn't press further, seemingly accepting Zhou Sichen's explanation, but perhaps a lingering doubt remained in his heart.

The two walked a few more steps in silence when Du Busi suddenly stopped, turned around, and said to Zhou Sichen with a serious expression:

"After this fight with you, I have a better understanding of your strength. For the next period of time, I will spar with you every day and try my best to push you to your limit."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Sichen's eyes flashed with surprise. He quickly nodded and said sincerely, "Then I'll have to trouble the sect leader."

Having a powerful expert like Du Bu Si personally sparring with him would greatly help Zhou Si Chen improve his strength.

Poison Immortal waved his hand, a relieved smile on his face, and said, "No trouble at all. Your foundation is very good, even better than mine was back then. Once your original martial soul reaches its limit, I am confident that I can help you directly complete the second awakening of the gold level."

Poison Undying spoke with a firm and confident tone, as if it were all a foregone conclusion.

Zhou Sichen smiled, her eyes sparkling with anticipation, and said, "I'm really looking forward to this day."

Within the Sea of ​​Spirit, both Tianmeng and Bingdi revealed smiles.

Tianmeng said to Bingdi, "Bingdi, the strength of this Poison Undying is truly terrifying. With three 100,000-year soul rings and both at level 98, I estimate that Xuanzi from Shrek Academy is no match for him."

Upon hearing this, Hyotei nodded: "With the addition of the Body Sect, our god-making plan should proceed more smoothly."

Tianmeng recalled Zhou Sichen's month at the Lake of Life: "Hehe, the chances of Sichen running away with that auspicious beast will be even greater then."

Ice Emperor pondered: "Difficult. With Di Tian, ​​whose strength is comparable to a quasi-god, protecting us, forget about running away with the auspicious beast."
