Douluo's main body is respected

Chapter 318 Mortals VS Gods
Since Yang Xiong absorbed the ninth soul ring and soul bone, in addition to receiving the assessment rewards, he also learned the content of the seventh trial of the Nine Trials of Asura.

"Yang Xiong, the seventh of the Nine Trials of Asura: A mortal challenges a god. Defeat a level 100 expert with a mortal body. Time limit: one year. Failure to pass the trial will result in execution."

When Yang Xiong first saw the assessment content, he couldn't help but complain in his heart. Was this Asura God overestimating himself? He actually asked him to challenge a god, and the only true god in this world was Qian Renxue, who was about to become a god.

It wasn't until Yang Xiong and Qian Renxue clashed for the third time that Yang Xiong began to understand the vast difference between gods and humans.

Without using the Soul Bone Armor, Yang Xiong had absolutely no chance of defeating Qian Renxue. Divine power seemed to be inherently much stronger than soul power, and even had a subtle suppressive effect.

However, Yang Xiong did not hesitate and quickly summoned all the soul bones on his body. Instantly, nine soul bones appeared on Yang Xiong's body. After absorbing the ninth soul ring, all of Yang Xiong's soul bones had turned blood red. All the soul bones were pieced together, like a complete set of armor.

The three external soul bones are even more eye-catching. The right one is ice blue, the left one is fire red, and the external soul bone Xuanwu Armor is a simple gray, like armor protecting the entire torso.

Qian Renxue snorted coldly: "You have quite a few tricks up your sleeve, but unfortunately, in front of the gods, your little tricks are nothing but a joke."

Yang Xiong roared, "You, Qian Renxue, are nothing more than relying on your ancestral inheritance. How does my Soul Bone Armor compare to your Heavenly God Armor?"

After saying that, Yang Xiong transformed into a streak of blood-red light and directly grabbed at Qian Renxue, as if the air itself had been torn apart.

Qian Renxue gently patted with her right palm, and even though it was just an ordinary palm strike, it contained boundless divine power, causing the heavens and earth to change color.

But Yang Xiong was now attacking with all his might. Yang Xiong's right claw collided with Qian Renxue's right palm. This time, the two were evenly matched, and both of them retreated several meters.

Qian Renxue was extremely surprised and also extremely resentful. This was the first time she had been forced to retreat since becoming a god, and it was Yang Xiong, whom she hated the most, the same Yang Xiong who had defeated her twice in the past.

"Interesting. I didn't expect that someone with such a mortal body like you would have reached this level of strength. It seems that things won't be too boring for me to play with you from now on!"

Yang Xiong and Qian Renxue were extremely fast, and soon they collided and fought countless times in the air, but neither of them could gain a significant advantage.

With the incredible speed of her Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, Qian Renxue was so fast that even top-tier Soul Masters could hardly catch a glimpse of her.

Yang Xiong, on the other hand, flew on his sword the entire time, only in this way could he match Qian Renxue's speed.

Yang Xiong and Qian Renxue fought fiercely in the sky. Even in a simple exchange, their power far exceeded that of the ninth soul skill of a Title Douluo.

Yang Xiong knew very well that if the fight continued like this, he would probably lose in the end.

Especially in the sky, under the sunlight, Qian Renxue's divine power seemed inexhaustible. Moreover, her divine power not only contained the ultimate light attribute, but also the extremely terrifying true fire of the sun, which could burn enemies to ashes in an instant.

Although Yang Xiong possessed a full set of soul bone armor of 100,000 years, when he actually fought against a god, his soul bone armor was still unable to completely resist Qian Renxue's attacks.

Fortunately, Yang Xiong had two soul cores, the Power Soul Core and the Five Elements Soul Core, which were spinning rapidly and quickly absorbing the energy in the air, thus maintaining his soul power consumption.

In that instant, Yang Xiong's eyes turned bloodshot, and his entire body emitted a crimson light. The crimson figure behind him seemed to be wielding a giant sword that could support the sky, and he slashed at Qian Renxue with all his might. It was the second move of the Asura God: Asura God Annihilation.

But Qian Renxue snorted coldly: "Yang Xiong, I think you're getting worse and worse. I lost to this move of yours last time. Do you think I'll lose to the same move twice?"

The enormous six-winged angel behind Qian Renxue possessed her, and its two golden giant hands forcefully blocked Yang Xiong's full-force attack, while its wings also completely protected him.

This is Qian Renxue's ninth soul skill, the second one: Archangel's Protection. Especially now that Qian Renxue has reached level 100, the defensive ability of this move seems to have increased countless times, ignoring attacks from anyone in the world.

As the golden giant clashed with the blood-red greatsword, Yang Xiong felt an endless recoil force coursing through his entire body, as if his body was about to be shattered. If it weren't for his full-body soul bone armor, this recoil force would probably have caused a level 98 Title Douluo to perish.

At this moment, Yang Xiong seemed to understand the situation where Sword Douluo's father was blocked by Qian Daoliu's nine "kill" words. This is the most fundamental difference between soul power and martial soul, and also the difference between each level of soul power after level ninety-eight.

But Yang Xiong wasn't afraid at all. Instead, his eyes were filled with excitement, and he seemed to be getting all fired up.

In terms of soul power alone, there is indeed a great gap between myself and the gods, but this also allows me to see the path forward and the goal of challenge.

Yang Xiong felt as if his blood was boiling, and he was filled with fighting spirit. This fighting spirit quickly spread throughout his body and even to every pore of his soul. "Life never ends, the battle never stops. I, Yang Xiong, with my mortal body, must fight against the true gods today."

Multiple spirit rings flashed on Yang Xiong's body, namely his third spirit ring skill Tyrannosaurus Fury, his fourth spirit ring skill Dragon Elephant Body, and his seventh spirit ring Asura True Body.

When the three amplification soul skills were used at the same time, his height, which was originally less than two meters, instantly exceeded three meters. All the muscles on his body were exposed, and he exuded an extremely fierce aura, like a ferocious beast.

Now Yang Xiong didn't care about any moves anymore; he became incredibly ferocious and grabbed at Qian Renxue with all his might.

But Qian Renxue snorted coldly, clenched her right fist, and seemed to inject endless golden divine power into it. Her speed was countless times faster than before, which was her first soul skill: Angel Assault.

When Yang Xiong grabbed Qian Renxue's fist again, this time it seemed as if he had encountered an immense force. He was forced back dozens of meters, while Qian Renxue was only forced back a few meters.

Qian Renxue said with a disdainful look: "I was just playing with you at the beginning. Did you think that was my full strength? I just wanted to test how strong you, a mere level 98 Title Douluo, are, and whether you can truly shake me, a god."

"Now that I've had my fill of fun, it's time to show you my true strength and what real despair is."

Qian Renxue's seventh soul ring flashed, and her entire body instantly radiated endless light. In particular, the six wings of the six-winged angel seemed like fire serpents, and Qian Renxue herself was like a golden sun, as if she could destroy the world.

Yang Xiong knew that this was Qian Renxue's seventh soul skill, Martial Soul True Body. Especially after she broke through level 100, this move had become countless times more powerful. After all, Qian Renxue's seventh soul ring had reached the level of 100,000 years. There is a qualitative difference between a 10,000-year soul skill and a 100,000-year soul skill.

Yang Xiong gritted his teeth. Since three amplification soul skills weren't enough, he would add another one.

Normally, while amplification soul skills have endless uses for soul masters, ordinary soul masters will not absorb too many amplification soul skills, at most two.

While amplification soul skills can enhance a soul master's combat abilities in the short term, they also increase the burden on the body.

Yang Xiong had already used three top-tier amplification soul skills, exceeding his body's capacity.

But Yang Xiong had no intention of admitting defeat at this moment. He immediately activated his ninth spirit ring, and his entire body seemed to change in that instant. The Ice and Fire Dragon Claws, the external spirit bones on his hands, suddenly appeared to have grown longer, and his hands were completely transformed into dragon claws. His entire body was covered with azure dragon scales.

This is Yang Xiong's ninth soul skill, the fourth one: Demon Whale's Wrathful Dragon Transformation. It is a soul skill with a million-year amplification obtained from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. After using this soul skill, his strength and defense are greatly enhanced, and his whole body is like a demon dragon possessing him, somewhat like the dragon transformation of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family.

Even the usually calm and collected Qian Renxue became somewhat serious at this moment. Yang Xiong was using a million-year amplification soul skill, and he was using four amplification soul skills at the same time. His strength seemed to have been greatly enhanced, as if he had crossed the level of 100.

Especially after Yang Xiong used the Demon Whale's Wrathful Dragon Transformation, the Asura Domain became stronger again, and even the Angel Domain seemed unable to suppress Yang Xiong's domain.

This Yang Xiong was incredibly ferocious, his dragon claws desperately clawing at Qian Renxue, each strike seemingly earth-shattering.

However, Qian Renxue was a god-level expert after all, and her speed was extremely fast. Although there was some pressure, she was still able to handle things with ease.

The two collided countless times in the air, attacking each other countless times and striking each other's bodies countless times.

Unfortunately, both of them had incredibly strong regenerative abilities, and their wounds healed at an extremely fast pace.

Yang Xiong's soul bone armor seemed to have been cracked, and even his skin and bones were severely damaged, but his dual soul cores spun rapidly, and his body quickly recovered.

Qian Renxue was struck by Yang Xiong's claws several times, but unfortunately, to the gods, it only caused a few drops of golden blood to flow, and the wounds quickly healed.

If someone were to pay attention, they would notice that although Yang Xiong's blood was still dark red, it already had a faint hint of gold in it.

Yang Xiong and Qian Renxue fought so fiercely that it seemed as if the sky itself was about to crack open.

When Yang Xiong and Qian Renxue separated again, blood trickled from the corner of Yang Xiong's mouth, while Qian Renxue appeared to be in better condition.

Even if Yang Xiong used four amplification soul skills, the gap between level 98 and level 100 was still huge.
