Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Black Dragon, I am the Lord of the Gods

Chapter 263 Targeted Medication

……

Xue Qinghe remained silent for a moment, the air seemingly frozen. He suddenly looked up, his gaze sharp: "I want to fight you, right now."

Xuanming stopped in his tracks. "Purpose?"

"Let's see just how capable you really are." Xue Qinghe's tone was unusually serious.

Xuanming stared at him for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."

The strength of a Soul Master is not solely determined by their Soul Power level.

The quality of a martial spirit is the real dividing line.

Low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade, top-grade, and even "super martial souls" like the six-winged angel that defy common sense.

Most people possess low to medium-grade martial souls, also known as ordinary martial souls. In the world of soul masters, these people are basically just supporting characters because even if they have the same or even higher soul power as those who possess high-grade or top-grade martial souls, they will most likely lose.

As for top-tier and super martial souls, these are somewhat unfair, as they can basically be compared to ordinary martial soul masters who have one more soul ring than themselves.

Of course, the stronger the martial spirit, the more difficult it is to cultivate, and the requirements for talent are almost demanding.

"You haven't made a move in a long time. Are you sure you want to fight?"

After deciding to take action, Qian Renxue and Xuan Ming quickly left Tiandou City and arrived at a deserted mountain area a hundred miles away from the main city.

"You think I'm no match for you?" Qian Renxue frowned.

“It’s not just a feeling, it’s a fact,” Xuanming said calmly.

Qian Renxue disguised herself as Xue Qinghe, and had very few opportunities for actual combat. Her only opponent was probably the Serpent Spear Douluo who hunted souls for her.

The six-winged angel was naturally powerful, but lacked the tempering of life and death. Compared to his experience of crawling out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, he was worlds apart.

"What do you think I've been doing for the past six months?" Qian Renxue shouted, her martial spirit instantly possessing her!

A burst of brilliant golden light erupted, and a sacred aura spread out like a tide, its pressure even surpassing that of an ordinary Soul Saint!
Xuanming's eyes narrowed: "It seems I underestimated you."

With a clenched fist, crimson lightning crackled, and the blood spear, wreathed in ominous energy, was now in his hand!
The moment the spear appeared, a dense, malevolent aura spread out, the air seemed to thicken, and a faint, rusty, bloody smell wafted through the air.

Qian Renxue felt a stinging pain on her skin and immediately activated her Angel Domain, her divine soul power surging as she tried to dispel the evil aura.

However, the divine power seemed to stimulate the Blood Spear, and a cold, deathly, and malicious aura instinctively erupted from it, standing in opposition to the divine golden light!
"Is this why you hid the Blood Spear?" Qian Renxue's expression changed slightly.

This ferocity and evil were not actively controlled by Xuanming, but rather were the roar of the martial spirit itself!

"After absorbing the soul ring of the Dark Demon God Tiger, it became extremely restless." Xuanming looked at the spear in his hand that was buzzing incessantly and thirsting for blood.

"If you bring it out on the field, it can devour your opponent if you're not careful. I can suppress it, but it's too troublesome."

He uses competitions to relax. If he has to be timid and restrain himself when he has to fight, then what's the point of relaxing?
"Come!" Qian Renxue's fifth soul ring flashed, and holy fire surged, condensing into a holy sword in her palm.

Xuan Ming's eyes flashed, his blood spear trembled, and its crimson light surged! His figure shot out like a ghost, the blood spear slicing through the air with a shrill whistle, aiming straight for Qian Renxue's throat!

Qian Renxue flapped her six wings rapidly, her body suddenly rising higher, narrowly avoiding this fatal blow.

The sacred sword slashed, its scorching sword energy tearing through the sky, distorting the air wherever it passed!
The Xuanming Blood Spear stands horizontally across the barrier!
boom--!
The sword energy and the blood spear clashed fiercely, and a violent energy shockwave exploded in all directions, snapping the surrounding trees in half and sending rubble flying!

After the initial attack, the two resumed their fierce battle.

Despite having the advantage in martial spirit and soul power, Qian Renxue was completely at a disadvantage.

Her sacred soul power, which should have been able to suppress all darkness, was instead neutralized and annihilated by the ferocious and evil aura of the Blood Spear, making it difficult for her to gain the upper hand.

"Mental suppression lock?" Qian Renxue stared intently at the blood spear in Xuanming's hand.

There is a huge gap between top-tier martial souls and ordinary martial souls. Beast martial souls mainly enhance amplification and resistance, while weapon martial souls have special effects that opponents cannot dodge.

Her grandfather had told her that within the same level, the Clear Sky Hammer's attacks were almost impossible to dodge, because the Clear Sky Hammer's special force field would create a huge attraction, just like gravity pulling. Moreover, the greater the power, the greater the attraction. If it were combined with the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, that thing would be the nightmare of all land-based soul masters!

Even for flying-type Soul Masters, if they don't keep a sufficient distance from the Clear Sky Hammer, they will almost certainly die if they are sucked into that special force field!

Xuanming's Blood Spear doesn't have the special force field of Haotian Hammer, but each pierce carries a huge mental shock and suppression. That suppression will greatly impact her mind and vision, making everything in front of her blur. Only the spear flashing with blood light is slowly approaching. Moreover, the feeling is extremely strange. One second it feels far away, but the next moment it will be right in front of her!

Qian Renxue looked at Xuan Ming with a solemn expression, "Now I actually admire those guys who dare to fight you in the Great Soul Arena."

Even she, the owner of a super martial soul, faces such immense pressure, let alone those soul masters with ordinary martial souls. "There's no need to admire me. I used to fight soul masters whose soul power level was at least ten levels higher than mine. The huge difference in soul power level can still greatly reduce this kind of suppression," Xuan Ming said.

"Now that our soul power levels are not much different, you can feel it more clearly."

His soul power purity was comparable to that of a Title Douluo, and he possessed both ice and fire as extreme attributes. However, Qian Renxue's divine soul power was even more domineering. If he hadn't absorbed the soul ring of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and obtained evil attribute energy, which greatly enhanced the ferocious aura of the Blood Spear, he would have had to use the Beast Martial Soul Domain to resist the suppression of Qian Renxue's divine energy.

"If we drag this out any longer, someone might find out. Let's make it one move to decide the outcome!"

Qian Renxue took a deep breath, her gaze becoming incredibly firm. She knew that the gap in combat experience between her and Xuanming was too great, and if they continued fighting like this, she would undoubtedly lose!

Without hesitation, she frantically channeled all her soul power into the sacred sword in her hand.

The sword's light surged, as if it were holding a shrunken sun, and the terrifying heat caused the surrounding space to distort slightly!

Xuanming no longer held back, his soul power surging wildly into the blood spear. The spear's body blazed with crimson light, crimson lightning crackled wildly, and its ferocious and icy aura reached its peak, like an ancient beast awakening!

Sacred and evil, the ultimate opposition!
Gold and blood clashed violently!

Boom——! ! !
A deafening roar echoed through the mountains, and a terrifying shockwave exploded outwards in a ring! Trees were uprooted and pulverized; rocks crumbled and turned into clouds of dust; the earth was torn open with countless deep ravines!

The light faded, leaving only devastation.

Both of them lay on the ground, as if they had just survived a natural disaster.

Qian Renxue was slightly out of breath, her clothes torn in many places, revealing skin stained with burns and bloodstains. Her hair was disheveled, her cheeks flushed an unnatural red, and a trickle of blood slid from the corner of her mouth. She tried to prop herself up, but collapsed weakly back to the ground.

Xuanming was shirtless, his upper body covered in burns and cuts left by the holy sword energy. He simply lay there quietly, gazing at the sky.

Qian Renxue turned her head slightly to look at Xuan Ming, a complex expression flashing in her eyes. "You're letting me win?"

"Not really," Xuanming said.

"This is the first time I've realized how big the gap is between us."

Qian Renxue was slightly taken aback. "A gap?"

"I struggled to survive, endured countless hardships, and narrowly escaped death countless times before I finally managed to climb to a height where I can stand shoulder to shoulder with you." Xuanming gazed at Liuyun.

"And you, you were born in the clouds."

Qian Renxue remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking: "What good is being born to fly in the sky? If you don't rely on your own wings to soar, you will eventually fall. Although I am at a disadvantage in today's battle, I will beat you next time."

Xuanming tilted his head slightly and looked at Qian Renxue, "You've been acting a little strange lately."

Qian Renxue frowned slightly. "What's wrong?"

Xuan thought for a moment, "You're too normal. It's the other way around that makes me feel abnormal."

Qian Renxue used to give him the feeling that she was sick, with an inherent arrogance and haughtiness, and she did everything with a strange sense of entitlement.

He used to always be unable to resist arguing with Qian Renxue, mainly because of her "taken-for-granted" attitude. She felt that she was right and others should be wrong; she felt that she was stronger and others should submit to her.

But recently, Qian Renxue has become normal and no longer has that arrogant feeling.

"Because he was hurt by Gu Yuena?" Xuanming guessed.

Qian Renxue's expression froze, and she turned her head away.

Seeing this, Xuanming was certain.

They were indeed dealt a blow by Gu Yuena, a complete and utter defeat.

Qian Renxue's personality is such that flattery is useless and gentle words are ineffective.

Only by completely defeating her with absolute power will she face reality.

She believes in the supremacy of strength. If you are stronger than her, she will restrain her sharpness and even learn to reason with you.

Conversely, the situation would be the same as before—head-to-head confrontation, with neither side willing to give in.

He hadn't been able to change Qian Renxue in the slightest over all these years, but Gu Yuena had only been around for a short time, and Qian Renxue had already undergone such a huge transformation.
