Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Young Gilas, Sandstorm King!

Chapter 103 Falling Rocks = Meteor Shower?
Young Kylas roared, carrying a hint of the Sandstorm Lord's majesty.

It didn't need to build up its strength as much as before; it simply swung its little paws sharply in the direction of the target!
With the terrifying amplification of the dual traits of "Sand Power" and "Sandstorm" (which increases the power of STAB moves by 30%), the power of Falling Rocks has undergone a dramatic change.

Compared to before, it's no longer just a few or a dozen rocks!

The moment Young Gilas swung his claw, the space nearly a hundred meters above the target boulder seemed to distort!
Immediately afterwards, dozens, no, hundreds, of hard rocks the size of millstones materialized out of thin air!

These rocks are not entirely illusory energy bodies, but are formed by the instantaneous extraction, compression, and materialization of pure earth elements in a sandstorm environment!

Their surfaces are covered with a layer of rapidly spinning sand and gravel, like a meteorite swarm carrying the wrath of the desert!
The falling rocks moved with lightning speed, tearing through the air with a piercing shriek!

The sheer number of rocks created a massive rainstorm that instantly and completely submerged the enormous basalt rock!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Rumble rumble rumble—!!!
The deafening roar of explosions continued!
Smoke and dust mixed with sandstorm rose into the sky, forming a small mushroom cloud!
As the smoke and dust dissipated slightly, Lin Xia's pupils contracted—the huge basalt rock, along with the ground it was rooted in, had disappeared!
All that remains is a huge crater, more than ten meters in diameter and several meters deep!

The sand and soil at the edge of the pit have a glassy appearance, as if they had been melted at high temperatures and then cooled rapidly!
At the bottom of the pit, there were countless rock fragments that had been smashed to pieces, and some of them had even been melted into lava by the huge impact and friction of the sand and gravel, and then cooled and solidified!

Just one blow!
The target was completely "erased" in a physical sense!
The shockwave and debris generated by the falling rocks did not dissipate; instead, they were instantly captured and accelerated by the still raging sandstorm!
These pebbles, like cannonballs that have been given a second acceleration, formed a barrage of death in the sandstorm, riddling a wider area of ​​sand dunes with holes and leaving countless deep craters and gullies!
The residual force of the falling rocks was amplified and prolonged several times over by the sandstorm!
"Flame Fist! Target: Left sand dune!"

Lin Xia pointed to another relatively isolated, soft sand dune.

Young Kiras turned around to face the target.

This time, it clenched its fists with both claws at the same time, and the crimson-gold phoenix divine patterns on its fists, which were covered with lava carapace, suddenly lit up!
"Yoji-hoo!!!"

It let out a roar that was a mixture of the weight of the rocks and the burst of flames, and then it slammed its foot into the ground and charged forward!
With the help of the sandstorm, its speed increased by at least 30% compared to normal, like a yellowish-brown meteor skimming across the sand!

The flames on his fists were no longer just a simple covering!

With the amplification of "Sand Power" (although Flame Punch is a Fire-type, it also enjoys some bonuses when it is cast by Larvitar, although not as exaggerated as its STAB), the crimson-gold flames are no longer flickering flames, but are condensed like liquid lava!

On the outer layer of the flame, the rapidly spinning sand is instantly melted into a glassy state by the extreme temperature, forming a hot and sharp molten quartz shell!

This is no longer a simple fire fist, but a "Molten Crystal Shattering Star Fist" that is wrapped with lava and high-temperature glass shards!
Eurythus slammed his fists hard against the base of the sand dune!
There was no earth-shattering noise, only a heart-pounding "sizzle" sound, like a hot iron being poured into butter!

The sand grains that were hit were not blown away, but were vaporized instantly by the terrifying heat upon contact!

A huge crater with a diameter of more than three meters was formed instantly!

Molten sand crystals flowed and splashed outwards like viscous lava, completely destroying, melting, and then solidifying the structure of the sand dunes wherever they went!

Even more terrifying is that this force, which combines physical impact, extreme heat, and the melting of sand and gravel, is like a fuse that has been lit!

The damaged dune structure collapsed in a chain reaction due to its own gravity and the sandstorm's force!

The entire sand dune, tens of meters high, collapsed and crumbled from the center, like a sandcastle with its skeleton removed, amidst a deafening roar!
Rolling sand waves, mixed with molten glass that had not yet cooled, poured down into the low-lying areas, forming a brief but terrifying lava quicksand!

The high-temperature shockwave and molten material generated by the Flame Fist were once again absorbed and dispersed by the sandstorm.

The sandstorm's temperature soared instantly, transforming from its original dry and bleak state into a scorching, almost baking, wind. The sand itself seemed to have acquired a fiery toxicity, further enhancing its corrosiveness and lethality.

The test is not over.

To more intuitively experience the effects of actual combat, Lin Xia deliberately used his soul power to simulate a strong provocative wave, which spread to the sand dunes further away.

Soon, two enraged local soul beasts were attracted to the scene.

One is the "Desert Rock Armor Beast," which is over five meters long, resembles a pangolin, and has thick brown crystal plates covering its back. It has about three thousand years of cultivation and is known for its defensive and burrowing abilities.

On the other side is the "Sandstorm Vulture," with a wingspan of nearly ten meters, feathers as rough as weathered rock, and crimson eyes. Also around three thousand years old, it excels at aerial raids and sandstorm attacks.

"Younggilas, target: Rock Armored Beast in front, Vulture in the air! Free combat!"

Lin Xia decisively gave the order: he wanted to see Young Giras's multi-target processing capabilities in complex environments.

"Yoji!!"

Young Gilas was filled with fighting spirit, his small body dominating the sandstorm!

Facing the Rock Armor Beast that was charging towards them like a heavy tank, Young Gilas neither dodged nor avoided it.

Just as the two were about to collide, it suddenly raised a small paw and slammed it heavily on the ground!
"Rockfall!"

This time it was a precise, targeted burst!

The target was not the Rock Armor Beast itself, but the ground in front of its charging path!

Boom!

Several massive rocks, imbued with the power of sand and carrying molten sand crystals, instantly coalesced from the sandstorm and crashed down, striking the rock-armored beast precisely in front of and beside it.

The enormous impact and explosion not only momentarily slowed its charge, but the molten sand crystals that splashed out clung to its proud crystal armor like maggots, hissing and burning, leaving unsightly corrosion pits!

The Rock Armored Beast roared in pain, its charge forcibly interrupted.

Almost at the same moment the rocks collapsed, the Sandstorm Vulture in the sky seized the opportunity, folded its wings, and swooped down like a gray meteorite with a piercing sound, its sharp talons grabbing straight for Young Gilas's carapace!
However, within the sandstorm zone, the young kiras don't even need to raise their heads!
The sand's perception had already clearly conveyed the vulture's trajectory.

With a thought, Younggiras instantly condensed and compressed the sandstorm surrounding him! A thick shield composed of countless high-speed rotating, sharp-edged sand crystals instantly appeared above his head!
Clang clang clang——!!!
The vulture's talons slammed into the sand crystal shield, producing a piercing metallic scraping sound and countless sparks!

It felt as if its claws were gripping a high-speed spinning grinding wheel, its tough toes being ground down! The enormous recoil made it unsteady, forcibly disrupting its diving posture.
