Douluo Continent: Heaven rewards diligence, Tang San's defenses are breached by liver damage.

[You have earnestly observed the world around you and gained some insights, with a slight deepening of your understanding of the mysteries of the wind element.]

[You have diligently observed the world and gained some insights, with a slight deepening of your understanding of the mysteries of the lightning element.]

[You have earnestly observed the universe and gained some insights, with a slight deepening of your understanding of the mysteries of the metal element.]

A flood of terms popped into Lin Chuan's mind, which surprised and delighted him.

Holding the Sunset Bow in his hand, his sensitivity to the five natural forces of wind, thunder, water, fire, and metal became noticeably more acute.

To test it out, Lin Chuan put the Sunset Bow aside.

The feeling of being immersed in the natural ocean vanished instantly.

Holding it again, the familiar feeling surged back.

"It can actually help me comprehend the mysteries of all things. Is this an extra benefit? It's too amazing!" Lin Chuan held the Sunset Bow in his arms, gently stroking it with his hands, his eyes shining with a fiery light.

"You are such a good baby to me!"

The Sunset Bow trembled slightly, revealing a faint joy.

Suddenly remembering something, Lin Chuan gripped the Sunset Bow with one hand and the azure pearl with the other, instantly finding himself in an ocean of water.

[You have deeply appreciated the world around you and gained much insight, significantly deepening your understanding of the mysteries of the water element.]

Double the fun!

At this rate, it won't be long before the mystery of the Water of All Things can be broken through to the second level.

A glint of light flashed in Lin Chuan's eyes. "It seems that his training plan before the Soul Master Competition has already been made. First, he will obtain the sixth soul ring, then continue to comprehend the mysteries of all things, and try to apply them to combat."

Chapter 82 The Archer's Fighting Style

Early the next morning.

Lin Chuan then approached Dugu Bo.

"Hmm? Young Lin, you want this old man to be your sparring partner?"

Dugu Bo's eyes sparkled, and a distinct smile appeared on his lips.

Lin Chuan wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that the old poisoner seemed a little excited. However, he didn't think much of it and simply nodded.

"That's right, I would like to ask Senior Dugu to help me hone my combat skills."

"Of course, no problem. I'd love to see just how powerful you are, you little monster!"

Dugu Bo smiled and agreed without hesitation.

"Then let's go to the academy's Soul Arena!"

"Alright, I'll go first."

As soon as he finished speaking, Dugu Bo disappeared from sight.

Lin Chuan was not to be outdone. He suddenly exerted force with his feet, and his whole body turned into a blur as he chased after him. The surrounding scenery began to rush past, and all that could be heard was the sound of the wind.

The green light and the black shadow, one after the other, quickly reached the top of Flying Frost Mountain.

Dugu Bo had just stopped when Lin Chuan appeared in his line of sight.

"Lin boy, how can you be so fast?"

Seeing Dugu Bo's surprised look, Lin Chuan smiled mysteriously, "It's just a little bit of insignificant skill, nothing to brag about. Senior Dugu, let's get started!"

"Alright, then let this old man weigh you up today, you little monster."

Dugu Bo stood with his hands behind his back, a sharp glint suddenly flashing in his eyes, followed by a phantom appearing behind him.

The colors of gold and green instantly enveloped Dugu Bo.

Immediately afterwards, nine spirit rings appeared one after another, two yellow, two purple, and five black. The pressure of a titled Douluo instantly descended, and even the air became heavy.

"Young man Lin, reveal your martial spirit. I'll let you make the first move, or you won't have a chance later."

Dugu Bo did not rush to make a move, but instead spoke arrogantly.

Lin Chuan chuckled, not angry at all, but rather finding it amusing. Since this old poison master so underestimated him, he wondered what kind of expression he would make after his humiliation. It would definitely be quite a sight!

"Then please enlighten me, senior."

As he spoke, light shone from Lin Chuan's palm, and the Sunset Bow appeared out of thin air.

However, the spirit ring did not appear, which immediately made Dugu Bo frown. "Kid, where is your spirit ring?"

"Well... my situation is a bit special. My spirit ring has already merged with my martial spirit," Lin Chuan explained with a smile.

"How can it be?!"

Dugu Bo looked horrified; his first reaction was disbelief.

It was clear that the spirit ring had not appeared yet, and Lin Chuan did not seem to be lying. Dugu Bo's heart sank, and even his eyes changed instantly.

To cultivate a spirit ring to the point where it detaches from its original form and merges into the spirit itself is something only a spirit master with extremely high cultivation can achieve.

At least in Dugu Bo's understanding, only the Sword Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School could do that.

How old is this kid? He can already do something like this. It's outrageous!

In an instant, Dugu Bo's contempt completely vanished.

"call out--"

The bowstring suddenly snapped open.

Like fiery meteors, a series of flaming arrows shot towards Dugu Bo in quick succession, arriving before him in the blink of an eye.

"It's so fast!"

Dugu Bo was startled, and the spirit rings behind him lit up.

A layer of earth-yellow energy shield appeared out of thin air, enveloping his entire body.

"Boom!"

With a deafening roar, the flaming arrow struck the protective shield precisely, causing a violent explosion. Simultaneously, flames shot into the sky, engulfing Dugu Bo along with the shield.

Smoke and dust billowed up.

Seeing this, Lin Chuan fired a few more arrows.

This time, the arrows, carrying the power of a hurricane, split into ten in the sky. As the dozens of arrows separated, they instantly formed a rain of arrows that silently shot into the dust.

The powerful hurricane created a vortex, instantly dispersing all the smoke.

Dugu Bo staggered back several steps, the protective shield surrounding him completely shattered.

"Lin boy, what kind of ghost technique is that? Its power is abnormally high!"

Moreover, this kid's soul skill is not only powerful, but also incredibly fast, making it almost impossible to defend against. Even if you are fully focused, you can't be sure you can dodge it completely when the attacks are so dense.

Dugu Bo's gaze also became serious.

This kid is tougher to deal with than I thought!

We must close the gap!

Dugu Bo instantly came up with a solution and rushed towards Lin Chuan without hesitation.

Seeing this, Lin Chuan's lips curled up slightly, "It won't be so easy for you to get close to me, Senior Dugu!"

The arrows shot out again.

Ordinary energy arrows flew at great speed and came in densely packed.

Dugu Bo suddenly realized that these arrows had completely blocked his path of advance, and no matter which way he went, several arrows would be shot at him.

Seeing this, Dugu Bo was even more surprised.

Is Lin Chuan not only incredibly talented, but also has such extensive combat experience?

"Since that's the case, then I'll get serious!"

Behind Dugu Bo, the illusory image of his martial spirit spewed out a turquoise poisonous mist, instantly enveloping most of the battle arena. Lin Chuan lightly touched the ground with his toes and quickly created distance, while simultaneously firing another flaming arrow. The flames penetrated the mist, instantly igniting it.

Flaming arrows containing the ultimate fire are the natural enemy of deadly poison.

"Depend on!"

Dugu Bo's face turned ashen as he was engulfed by flames once more.

Even though he was a titled Douluo, he still felt unwell under the scorching heat of the extreme fire. His attacks were repeatedly thwarted, leaving him covered in soot and grime. How could anyone accept that?

Dugu Bo, who was already very concerned about his image, couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.

Simply put, he got anxious!

"This kid is really weird. His soul skill is already comparable to a Soul Saint, and the temperature of the flames is abnormally high. We can't hold back anymore."

If we keep dragging this out, we might just capsize in a ditch.

Even if he doesn't lose in the end, Dugu Bo can't accept making himself look so pathetic.
