Douluo Continent: Starting with Self-Created Soul Rings

"We'll just watch..."

"..."

The disciples of the Elephant Armor Sect didn't know what had happened or why Gu Ziyi was going to engage in a soul battle with their sect's young master, Hu Yanzhen, but they clearly didn't think highly of Gu Ziyi.

"Possessed by a martial spirit!"

"Gu Ziyi's opponent, Hu Yanzhen, was the first to release his martial soul. A huge phantom of a diamond mammoth appeared on his body, and six best-configured soul rings, yellow, purple, black and white, surrounded him."

"Roar--"

Accompanied by a roar of a giant beast.

With his martial spirit possessed, Hu Yanzhen's loose, flabby flesh rapidly bulged into exaggerated and terrifying muscles. A layer of dark yellow keratin appeared on the surface of his skin, shimmering with a metallic luster, making him look inhuman. His nose also extended and lengthened at the same time, his upper lip turned up, and his two fangs grew a full foot long.

hum-

Faced with Hu Yanzhen's intimidation, Gu Ziyi also waved his sword, summoning his talisman martial spirit.

Then, spirit rings lit up on Gu Ziyi's body.

Yellow, yellow, yellow, purple!

After summoning his martial soul, Gu Ziyi quickly blocked Hu Yanzhen's soul pressure.

After Gu Ziyi summoned his martial soul, his body did not change. Only soul masters with beast martial souls would experience some changes in their bodies after the martial soul possessed them.

After Gu Ziyi summoned his martial soul, only his temperament changed, becoming more refined and sacred.

"Three yellows and two purples!"

"His first three spirit rings were indeed yellow, hundred-year spirit rings..."

"When I first heard it, I thought I misheard. I never expected that Gu Ziyi, a disciple of the Pope, would have spirit rings that weren't even at their optimal configuration!"

"Yeah, I didn't believe it was true either..."

"..."

After seeing the spirit rings on Gu Ziyi's body light up, many disciples of the Elephant Armor Sect around them started discussing it.

Although they had heard about it before, they still found it somewhat unbelievable after witnessing Gu Ziyi's spirit ring configuration in person.

"Your Highness, be careful!"

After glancing at Gu Ziyi, Hu Yanzhen lit up his third spirit ring and reminded Gu Ziyi.

"Third Soul Skill - Death Crushing Strike!"

Immediately afterwards, Hu Yanzhen unleashed his third soul skill.

boom--

Hu Yanzhen stomped his right leg forward, and an invisible force of gravity instantly appeared above Gu Ziyi, then pressed down on him.

"Third Soul Skill - Golden Light Shield!"

Seeing this, Gu Ziyi waved his hand and released a golden shield above his head.

However, Gu Ziyi's golden shield was completely unable to block Hu Yanzhen's soul skill. Hu Yanzhen's gravity completely ignored the golden shield and directly struck down.

Gu Ziyi immediately felt a heavy pressure pressing down on him, making him feel like he couldn't move an inch.

"Tai Chi Domain!"

hum-

Given this situation, Gu Ziyi had no choice but to unleash his innate talent.

A giant Tai Chi diagram soon appeared beneath Gu Ziyi's feet.

Then, Gu Ziyi completely ignored the gravity suppression caused by Hu Yanzhen's third soul skill, Death Suppression.

Most of the gravitational suppression was neutralized by Gu Ziyi's Tai Chi Domain.

The remaining small portion also posed no threat to Gu Ziyi.

"It's Gu Ziyi's innate domain..."

"So powerful! Once the talent domain is activated, it completely ignores the young sect master's soul skill attack..."

"That's amazing! Could it be that the young sect leader is really like Tang Hao of the Haotian Sect and can't beat him?"

"..."

Upon seeing the innate domain released by Gu Ziyi, the Elephant Armor Sect disciples around the plaza exclaimed in surprise.

This was also the first time they had ever seen a Soul Master use their innate domain.

"Is this his area of ​​expertise?"

Even Hu Yanbo couldn't help but look at Gu Ziyi's Tai Chi Domain with amazement and envy in his eyes. He didn't have a talent domain either.

"Your talent is the source of your confidence?"

When Hu Yanzhen, who was opposite Gu Ziyi, saw that Gu Ziyi had activated his talent domain, he completely ignored his soul skill. Although he had expected this, Hu Yanzhen was still somewhat surprised.

As expected of a talent domain, I wish he could awaken it.

"Your talent lies in deflecting force and using someone else's force against them, right?"

"If I don't take the initiative to attack now, your talent field will be useless..."

Hu Yanzhen then quickly laughed, and at the same time he withdrew his soul skill attack.

"First Soul Skill: Iron Wall!"

Then, Hu Yanzhen unleashed his first soul skill, forming a layer of soul power armor on his body.

Then Hu Yanzhen stood there, waiting for Gu Ziyi to make a move.

He is not planning to launch an offensive for the time being.

Knowing how Tang Hao failed, he certainly wouldn't give Gu Ziyi the opportunity to use his strength against him.

As long as he doesn't give Gu Ziyi the opportunity to use his strength against him, he'll be in an invincible position.

He simply refused to believe that Gu Ziyi could do anything to him without any leverage!

Even if we win like this, it won't be a very impressive victory, but it's better than suffering a crushing defeat.

Tang Hao of the Haotian Sect is still a topic of conversation for many people.

"it is good!"

"That's it!"

"As long as the young sect leader doesn't launch an attack, he won't have a chance at all!"

"Yes, our young sect leader is much smarter, unlike Tang Hao of the Haotian Sect, who is simply a fool..."

"..."

The disciples around him cheered when they saw Hu Yanzhen's choice.

They had just witnessed Gu Ziyi's terrifying talent domain, which completely ignored Hu Yanzhen's attack. Therefore, they all felt that Hu Yanzhen's choice not to attack first was the best option.

"Is His Highness alright?"

Seeing this, Salas became worried and couldn't help but ask She Long, who was standing next to him.

"Don't worry, His Highness will be fine!"

Upon hearing this, She Long smiled slightly, agreeing that Hu Yanzhen's choice was indeed very clever.

But that was assuming Gu Ziyi had no other means of attack.

But Gu Ziyi doesn't only have one special skill: the Talent Domain!

"Perfect, I'll test the Elephant Armor Sect's defenses to see just how strong they are!"

When Gu Ziyi saw that Hu Yanzhen had given up the attack, he smiled slightly.

"Golden Light Sword Control Technique!"

"Burning Peach, draw your sword!"

Then, Gu Ziyi flicked his right hand, and the Soul Bone Peach Wood Sword that had been hanging on his back flew out with a whoosh.

A golden talisman had been affixed to the blade of the Soul Bone Peach Wood Sword at some unknown time.

huh~

After the Soul Bone Peach Wood Sword was unsheathed, it quickly transformed into a red line and shot towards Huyan Zhen under Gu Ziyi's sword control.

hum~

Before the Soul Bone Peach Wood Sword even reached Hu Yanzhen, he keenly sensed its destructive power, and his expression immediately changed.

"What kind of weapon is this?"

"So strong!"

Sensing some threat, Hu Yanzhen immediately put on another layer of defense.

Fifth Soul Skill: Ice Crystal Elephant Armor!

hum-
