Douluo: The Peerless King of Beast Tamers

Chapter 262 Second Awakening
Do not!
We absolutely cannot die here!

Zhou Sichen's heart was screaming wildly, his strong will to survive surging like a tidal wave.

If he can complete the second awakening, there might still be a glimmer of hope for him. This is the only ray of hope in his desperate situation.

In this life-or-death moment, the intense instinct for survival completely erupted.

Zhou Sichen felt a surge of power coming from nowhere, and his tightly closed eyes suddenly opened. His right eye instantly turned into a deep, dark black, like an endless abyss.

The Eye of Soul suddenly activated, and an aura of supreme dominance emanated from him. Accompanying this aura, a special beam of light, invisible to the naked eye, shot straight for Polsalimian's soul like an arrow.

"Crack!"

This sudden attack caught Polusalimian completely off guard. His right foot, which had been descending rapidly, suddenly stopped less than 20 centimeters above Zhou Sichen's chest.

Its golden right foot contained terrifying power in every inch.

Under such close pressure, Zhou Sichen felt as if a mountain was pressing down on his chest, making it extremely difficult to breathe. Each inhale was like pulling a rusty bellows, producing a labored sound.

Zhou Sichen's mental strength was already comparable to that of an ordinary Title Douluo, and with the powerful boost from Junlin Tianxia, ​​this sudden attack left Polsarimian at a loss for what to do.

In just a moment, Polusalimian felt as if his soul had been struck by a heavy hammer.

An indescribable, excruciating pain struck, as if an invisible hand was desperately tearing at its soul, causing its body to tremble slightly.

Taking advantage of this brief moment, Zhou Sichen's left eye burst forth with a brilliant golden light, like the rising sun, dazzling and radiant.

A soft, yet vibrant, emerald-green light slowly emerged from the knife-shaped eyes.

When the Eye of Life was activated, a miraculous scene unfolded: the shocking injuries on his body began to heal rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. Broken bones began to heal, torn muscles gradually flattened, and the bleeding slowly stopped.

Without thinking twice, Zhou Sichen quickly rolled to the side to dodge.

Just as he dodged, Polsalimian seemed to have escaped the agonizing feeling of his soul being torn apart, and his right foot slammed down with boundless power.

"Boom!"

The golden right foot landed with the force of a bomb exploding, creating a powerful shockwave that instantly cracked the surrounding ground and sent dust flying.

Zhou Sichen, who had just rolled away, was once again blasted away by the force of the explosion. After arcing through the air, he crashed heavily to the ground.

Although he escaped a fatal blow, Zhou Sichen's mental and spiritual power were completely depleted, like a dried-up lake that could no longer ripple.

He felt as if all his strength had been drained from his body, so weak that he could barely lift a finger.

Polusalimian twisted her neck, making a "crackling" sound, and slowly raised her eyes to look at Zhou Sichen, who had rolled to the side, while enduring the discomfort and pain coming from the depths of her soul.

"Kid, your willpower is the strongest I've ever seen, and your various methods have also impressed me."

Polusalimian's voice was deep and hoarse, like an echo from ancient times, reverberating in this silent space.

It walked towards Zhou Sichen step by step. With each step, the ground trembled slightly, as if it were the footsteps of death. Every step it took to get closer to him was as if the gates of hell were beckoning to Zhou Sichen.

At this moment, Zhou Sichen's injuries had mostly healed thanks to the Eye of Life.

However, because his soul power and spiritual power were completely exhausted, they were no longer sufficient to support the Eye of Life in continuing to function and heal his injuries.

He knelt on the ground, his hands supporting him, his body trembling slightly. He could only barely lift his head with his meager strength to look at the demon-like Borsalimian before him.

Although Zhou Sichen didn't quite understand why a ferocious beast would act as an examiner and attack him so inhumanely.

But now he fully understands what the life-or-death crisis that Poison Undying was talking about was.

Given the current situation, it seems that no one can help him except himself.

But he was unwilling to die like this...

He has already left a lot behind in this world, and there are still many things he wanted to do that he hasn't finished.

He recalled the happy times he had spent with his friends, the vows he had made, and the dreams that had yet to be realized.

With each step Polusalimian took, a slideshow seemed to flash rapidly through Zhou Sichen's mind.

Those beautiful memories and unfulfilled wishes flashed before his eyes like a revolving lantern.

Under extreme pressure, various emotions completely replaced Zhou Sichen's originally very calm thinking.

When Polusalimian came before Zhou Sichen once again, his right hand burst forth with dazzling golden light, like a giant golden claw, fiercely grabbing towards his head.

Zhou Sichen seemed to sense something; his heart suddenly raced, each beat like thunder, making his chest throb, as if something was about to erupt in this life-or-death moment…

A strange and special power, like a flowing stream, slowly circulated within Zhou Sichen's body.

He clearly felt the rhythm of his original martial soul, a resonance from the depths of his soul, like long-lost relatives calling to each other.

This strange feeling gave Zhou Sichen a glimmer of hope in his desperate situation, and it also made his almost dried-up source of strength begin to show signs of gathering again.

Faced with the golden palm of Polusalimian that swept over with devastating force, Zhou Sichen felt as if a terrifying energy had been injected into his body.

This energy surged and roared through his meridians like a raging tide.

The previously depleted soul power, exhausted mental energy, and weakened physical strength began to recover at an astonishing speed under the nourishment of this mysterious power.

The flame patterns that had originally disappeared from the body surface now seemed to be revitalized, climbing back up and radiating a mysterious and intense light.

In the blink of an eye, red and blue flames reignited on Zhou Sichen's body.

The two colors of flame intertwine yet remain distinct: the red flames are scorching and violent, while the blue flames are icy and chilling. Together, they create a magnificent yet dangerous scene.

He slowly raised his hands, and with a deep whooshing sound, the extreme red and blue flames surged up, like two angry dragons, directly hitting the golden palms that were covered by Porusali.

Surprisingly, no explosion occurred.

With this sudden surge of power, Zhou Sichen managed to firmly grasp the golden, gleaming hand.

The intense red and blue flames, like nimble serpents, snaked and climbed up Polsalimian's palm toward his arm.

Wherever the flames went, the air hissed, as if telling the story of the clash between these two extreme forces.

A flicker of surprise flashed deep in Polusalimian's eyes, the excitement of seeing a priceless treasure.

But soon, disbelief replaced the expression on its face: "No...impossible..."

This boy, who was originally on the verge of death, unexpectedly unleashed such powerful strength at this crucial moment.

The intense red and blue flames seemed to possess their own consciousness, extending from Borsalimian's arm.

In the blink of an eye, it enveloped the entire person, forming a red and blue fire cage.

Enveloped in flames, Polsalimian's figure appeared and disappeared, looking quite disheveled.

At the same time, Zhou Sichen slowly stood up.

His heartbeat grew stronger and more violent, like the roar of an ancient warhammer, each beat seemingly shattering the space around him.

With each roar, Zhou Sichen's body seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, growing larger. In just a few breaths, Zhou Sichen transformed into a ten-meter-tall giant.

His figure stood tall in this trial ground, like a majestic mountain peak, exuding an awe-inspiring aura.

At this moment, with his hands clasped together, he kneaded the Polsalian, which was enveloped in extreme fire and extreme ice, in his palms as if he were playing with a small toy.

A fiery lotus, its red and blue colors shimmering in the light, quietly bloomed in Zhou Sichen's palm.

The petals of the fire lotus are layered upon each other, each containing terrifying energy.

Meanwhile, Polusalimian was at the center of this fiery lotus, enduring the torment of both ice and fire.

At this moment, Polsalimian looked pained. The pain in his soul had not been completely relieved, and now he was trapped in this terrifying fire lotus, as if he would be refined in an instant at any moment.

At this critical moment, Du Busi's voice rang out like a booming bell: "Si Chen, calm down!"

The sound pierced through the layers of flames and the howling wind, reaching Zhou Sichen's ears clearly.

Upon hearing Du Bu Si's voice, Zhou Si Chen's frantically racing thoughts suddenly froze, and his movements ceased.

The sense of crisis in his heart was still there, but he seemed to have come to a new understanding.

"A test...this is a test..."

Zhou Sichen muttered to himself, recalling everything that had happened before, and he finally realized that it was all a carefully planned test.

The next moment, three figures silently swept in like lightning.

It was Poison Undying, along with Sakas Star and Qingzhang Kuzan.

Their faces wore different expressions. Poison Undying's eyes were full of relief, Sakas Star looked amazed, and Qingzhang Kuzan's eyes revealed a hint of admiration.

Zhou Sichen breathed a sigh of relief, and the tension and anger in his heart gradually dissipated.

He moved his hands gently, as if conducting an elegant symphony, slowly retracting the Fire Lotus and gently placing the Polusali Mian on the ground.

Although Porusali was in a sorry state, it was not seriously injured. It looked at Zhou Sichen with a hint of approval in its eyes.

Looking at the giant-like Zhou Sichen, Du Busi felt a surge of joy: "Sichen, concentrate and calm your mind, and truly feel your current state."

Zhou Sichen nodded and stopped thinking about it.

He sat cross-legged on the spot, and the extreme red and blue flames on his body formed a giant fire lotus around his massive body.

Zhou Sichen sat cross-legged on the fire lotus, like a saint who had transcended the mortal world.

His physical and spiritual energy fluctuated continuously, and his overall aura was constantly rising, as if he were moving towards a higher realm.

Looking at Zhou Sichen's condition, Polusalimian breathed a sigh of relief: "Poison cannot kill. This act was not easy to perform. Your disciple has such a good temperament. I put in a lot of effort to get him into a state of enlightenment. You have to make it up to me."

Its voice carried a hint of weariness, but more so the relief of having completed its mission.

Poison Undying laughed: "Don't worry, senior. Si Chen has already completed his second awakening. I won't even need to lift a finger. He will naturally repay you properly."

His laughter echoed throughout the trial grounds, filled with confidence and joy.

Polsalimian smiled and said, "No wonder you insisted that I take action. His extreme ice and extreme fire are really too much for ordinary people to withstand."

Recalling its confrontation with Zhou Sichen, it felt a lingering fear.

If they were of the same level, I might actually be outmaneuvered by this guy.

Sakas also said, "If he were to go to my and Qingzhang's territory, he would detonate the space with his ultimate attribute, and Sanyuan Island would be finished."

His words carried a hint of sarcasm, but also revealed the seriousness of the matter.

Qingzhang nodded: "That's right, so your intervention is indeed the best choice, and only you have the ability to withstand its extreme attributes and prevent the trial grounds from being destroyed."

Poison Undying also praised him: "Senior's cultivation is profound and his own abilities are special. He can resist damage from extreme attributes. This is a miracle that has never appeared even in our Soul Master world."

His words brought a smug smile to Polusalimian's face; the meticulously planned test had finally been a complete success.

Upon being flattered by the "poison-invincible" compliment, Polsarimian's massive body swayed slightly, emitting a low chuckle as he replied, "A little trick, a little trick..."

It deliberately adopted a humble posture, but its slightly raised head and somewhat smug tone betrayed its inner pride.

Then, a faint golden halo appeared around Polusalimian, and as the light flickered, it slowly withdrew its clone.

The clash with Zhou Sichen just now had a significant impact on both its soul and body. The tearing pain in its soul was still lingering, and its body ached as if it had fallen apart.

But it endured all of this, trying to stand tall and act as if nothing had happened, maintaining its usual powerful image.

It narrowed its eerie eyes, its gaze falling on Zhou Sichen, who sat quietly in meditation, surrounded by intense flames. It commented indifferently, "This kid's second awakening is very similar to yours back then, but it looks even more terrifying than you were back then."

Du Busi nodded, his eyes filled with satisfaction and pride, and said, "That's right, the key to the second awakening of our Body Sect's Martial Soul lies in the awakening of the Martial Soul's parts."

"Si Chen's martial soul is also the same as mine, and it has also fused with unique soul power, which makes it stronger than mine."

As he spoke, he tilted his head slightly, his thoughts seemingly drifting back to the past. Comparing his own path of growth with Zhou Sichen's, he felt even more that Zhou Sichen's future was limitless.

"Judging from his current situation, as long as he stabilizes his condition, his future is limitless." Du Busi's tone was full of confidence, as if he could already see the day when Zhou Sichen stood at the peak.

Seeing this, Sakas Star revealed a meaningful smile and teased, "Poison Undying, your Body Sect is really lucky. With this kid, you must be laughing in your sleep."

Poison Undying chuckled, scratched his head, and made no attempt to hide his joy: "Senior, you have a really good eye for people."

Indeed, Zhou Sichen's growth and potential made him, as the sect leader, extremely proud. It was undoubtedly a great blessing for the Body Sect to have such a talented disciple join them.

Looking back on this meticulously planned test, Du Bu Si was filled with emotion.

From the very beginning, what he told Zhou Sichen was only half true and half false.

If these three ferocious beasts were to personally take action, any one of them would be enough to become a formidable opponent for Zhou Sichen's trials.

However, in order to allow Zhou Sichen to personally experience the extreme pressure and unleash his full potential, Du Busi initially told Zhou Sichen that he needed to pass three trials.

When Zhou Sichen finds himself in dire straits in the first trial, seemingly unable to even pass the first trial, the pressure in his heart will inevitably increase exponentially.

Polusali Mian was the most skilled at planning and scheming among the three ferocious beasts. With it personally taking action, the realistic attacks and sense of oppression were so strong that even the meticulous Zhou Sichen had to admit that he believed his suspicions to be true.

So much so that at the last moment, Zhou Sichen almost couldn't resist and, relying on his awakened power, was about to hand-rub Polsarium.

Of course, even if Zhou Sichen completes his second awakening and his strength is greatly improved, he still cannot truly defeat Borsalimian with the power of his martial soul alone.

After all, Polsalimian had lived in this world for a long time, accumulating countless combat experiences and powerful abilities.

The reason it didn't put up a strong resistance and allowed Zhou Sichen to suppress it was because it was worried that Zhou Sichen would use too much force and directly destroy the site of the Trial of Light.

Otherwise, given Porusalim's unpredictable and elusive abilities, it would have vanished in a flash once it unleashed its full power, making it impossible for Zhou Sichen to catch a trace of it.
