Douluo: The Second Lady of the Worship Hall, decisive in killing

Chapter 31: Bare-handed Soul Reception Skill
Listening to Ye Xi's words, Dugu Bo bowed gently.

"What can I do?"

"I just thought you and my granddaughter were about the same age, so I wanted to introduce you to each other."

Dugu Bo said this and pointed at Dugu Yan who was sitting next to him.

"Senior, I have long wanted to meet your granddaughter."

"A famous genius from the Tiandou Royal Academy, his skill in using poison is truly inherited from his predecessors."

After Ye Xi exchanged some polite words, he turned his gaze towards Dugu Yan and gave her a polite smile.

"I've heard grandpa mention you a lot recently."

"At only nine years old, your soul power has reached the bottleneck of level 30. Your talent is rare in the world. My grandfather often praises you."

Dugu Yan sat lazily on the chair, playing with her nails dyed emerald green, and occasionally glancing at Ye Xi who was sitting in the main seat.

In recent days, she always heard the name Ye Xi from Dugu Bo's mouth, and Dugu Bo was not stingy with his praise.

This made Dugu Yan curious about Ye Xi, but also made her feel dissatisfied.

After all, it was the first time that Dugu Yan saw her grandfather praising someone so much. Even she, his granddaughter, had never received such praise from Dugu Bo.

"That's just a false compliment from the senior."

Ye Xi said modestly, with a polite smile on his delicate face all the time.

"Xiao Xi, you don't have to be so modest."

"At the age of nine, someone whose soul power level can reach the 30th level of Soul Master is a rare existence in the entire continent."

Dugu Bo looked at Ye Xi with some emotion in his eyes.

Although Ye Xi is currently at the bottleneck of level 30, he is only one soul ring away from becoming a three-ring Soul Master, so Dugu Bo is not wrong when he says that Ye Xi is a Soul Master.

Dugu Yan looked up at his grandfather Dugu Bo, then turned his gaze to Ye Xi and said, "My current soul power is that of a 29th-level great soul master. Our soul power levels are similar. Why don't we go outside and spar with each other?"

Dugu Yan pointed at the open space outside the door, with a hint of fighting spirit in his eyes.

In terms of cultivation talent, she admits that she is not as good as Ye Xi.

She is a few years older than Ye Xi, but Ye Xi's soul power has surpassed hers.

But when it comes to competition, Dugu Yan doesn't think that she will lose to Ye Xi. After all, among all the soul masters of the same level in the entire Tiandou Royal Academy, her strength is top-notch.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xi did not answer Dugu Yan immediately, but looked at Dugu Bo, asking what Dugu Bo thought.

Tian Yao, who was sitting next to Ye Xi, immediately lit up his eyes when he heard that Dugu Yan was going to challenge Ye Xi, and he even wanted to take action for Ye Xi.

But since Ye Xi didn't say anything, she didn't say anything either.

"Xiao Xi, if it's inconvenient for you, it's okay to refuse."

Dugu Bo smiled faintly, his expression seemed very kind.

"It's not inconvenient. It's just a competition between peers."

Ye Xi just thought about it for a moment and agreed.

"Second Miss, how about letting me come?"

Tian Yao leaned close to Ye Xi's ear and asked in a low voice, with an eager expression on his face.

"No, I can do it myself."

Ye Xi said this, stood up from his seat and walked straight outside.

Dugu Yan also stood up at this time and followed Ye Xi outside.

Dugu Bo and Tian Yao were preparing to get up and watch the battle.

Ye Xi and Dugu Yan stopped in an open space and stood facing each other.

"Duguyan, martial soul, Jade Scaled Snake, level 29 Great Soul Master."

As soon as Dugu Yan finished speaking, he released his martial soul: the Jade Scaled Snake. After the martial soul possessed his body, two yellow soul rings appeared under his feet. "Ye Xi, martial soul: Slaughter Angel, level 30."

After Ye Xi simply said this, he did not release his martial spirit, but quietly stared at Dugu Yan in front of him.

"Why don't you release your martial spirit?"

After seeing that Ye Xi did not release his martial spirit, Dugu Yan's eyes showed some doubt.

"If we're just sparring, I don't think this is necessary."

Ye Xi said it casually, but there was thought in his deep blue eyes.

Although this was the first time she fought with Dugu Yan, according to her estimation, Dugu Yan was only at the top level among the same level. If they were just sparring, there would be no need to release her martial spirit.

After all, when Ye Xi was sparring with Tian Yao in Wuhun City, she was able to fight back and forth with Tian Yao who had released his martial soul without releasing her martial soul.

Now Ye Xi's martial soul quality has improved, and his strength has increased a lot compared to when he was in Wuhun City, so out of comprehensive considerations, Ye Xi has no plans to release his martial soul.

"You look down on me?"

Dugu Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, with a hint of anger in them.

"not at all."

"Just stop at the limit."

Ye Xi shook his head slightly, and soul power fluctuated in his hands, his eyes always paying attention to Dugu Yan's movements.

Hearing this, Dugu Yan moved, clenched her white fingers into fists, and attacked Ye Xi.

The whistling wind blew up Ye Xi's hair. Ye Xi slowly stretched out his hand to block Dugu Yan's attack.

Feeling the power coming from his hand, Ye Xi immediately made a judgment in his mind.

"It's much weaker than Tianyao in terms of strength."

Ye Xi was thinking in his mind, but his hands were not slow. He clenched his other hand into a fist and hit Dugu Yan in the lower abdomen.

Ye Xi controlled his strength very well and only made Dugu Yan retreat a few steps without really hurting her.

"I still underestimated Xiaoxi's strength."

Dugu Bo put his hands behind his back and muttered to himself.

With one strike, the winner was immediately decided. With Dugu Bo's keen eyesight, he could naturally see the result of this competition.

After being defeated, Dugu Yan stabilized his body, a hint of solemnity appeared in his eyes.

"Be careful, and remember to release your martial spirit."

After Dugu Yan gave a reminder, the second soul ring under her feet began to flicker.

"Ok, I know."

Ye Xi answered and got ready.

Dugu Bo on the side was also prepared. If either side showed signs of injury, he would take action to stop them.

Dugu Yan raised his leg and swept towards Ye Xi like a snake's tail.

The whistling strong wind blew Ye Xi's clothes. Ye Xi raised his arms to block the incoming attack.

The two collided with each other, and a strong airflow spread out around them with their bodies as the center.

"I go!"

Tianyao let out a cry of surprise, his eyes wide open, looking shocked.

"Accepting soul skills with bare hands..."

The corners of Dugu Bo's mouth twitched slightly. He had thought that Dugu Yan would lose, but he didn't expect the gap between the two to be so big.
