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

On Flying Frost Mountain.

The commotion caused by Lin Chuan and Dugu Bo was quite significant.

Such a strong fluctuation of soul power naturally attracted the attention of countless people.

Upon discovering this situation, Shui Lanxin and Leng Man rushed towards Feishuang Mountain almost immediately.

"This surge of soul power... it's from Lord Dugu and Xiao Chuan. Why are they suddenly fighting?"

Filled with doubt, the two climbed to the top of the mountain one after the other. What came into view was the Soul Battle Platform, where two figures were fiercely fighting.

The blade gleamed coldly, sending chills down your spine even from a distance.

After seeing the situation on the Soul Arena, Shui Lanxin's eyes widened immediately. "You can't believe it! Xiao Chuan can actually fight to this extent with His Majesty Dugu! That's too exaggerated!"

Leng Man didn't speak, but the shock in her eyes was impossible to hide.

For a period of time before, she had served as Lin Chuan's sparring partner. At that time, without using her Martial Soul True Body, she couldn't defeat this little guy at all. But how long has it been? She's already able to fight against a Title Douluo.

Even though it seems that Dugu Bo has not used his full strength, it is still quite amazing.

“Something’s not right. Xiao Chuan’s soul power… has clearly reached level 60, but the power of his attacks is no weaker than that of a Soul Douluo. Especially with each swing of his sword, it’s as if the heavens and earth are helping him. It’s simply unbelievable.”

Shui Lanxin clicked her tongue in amazement, and couldn't help but marvel at it repeatedly.

What kind of monster is this little guy?!

He must be a child of a god, or perhaps a god reincarnated!

Otherwise, how could a level 60 Soul King be able to fight against a Title Douluo, even if their Soul Power is 20 or 30 levels higher?

"Lan Xin, you really brought back a monster!" Leng Man said leisurely.

Hearing this, Shui Lanxin nodded stiffly, then suddenly smiled, "Yes, but I'm so glad I brought Xiao Chuan back to the academy. This year's Soul Master Competition champion will definitely belong to our Tianshui Academy!"

With the combat power Lin Chuan has shown so far, he could easily take on seven opponents at once.

Shui Lanxin did not believe that any other advanced soul master academy could rival Lin Chuan, not even the Spirit Hall Academy.

"Boom boom boom!!!"

Lin Chuan's two Night Shadow Blades were like raging volcanoes, their power extremely fierce, so much so that even Dugu Bo dared not take them head-on and could only dodge.

The combination of fierce fire and gentle water made it difficult for Dugu Bo to deal with.

"No, that's not enough. If the mysteries of the Water of All Things and the Fire of All Things could be combined and absorbed each other's advantages, the power they would unleash would undoubtedly be even greater."

Lin Chuan wielded his twin swords rapidly, unleashing an unstoppable force.

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

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

[You diligently practiced your swordsmanship and made some progress; your proficiency with the Thunder Blade and your overall swordsmanship mastery have both increased.]

The power of heaven and earth trembled, and its prestige grew ever more astonishing.

"We can't let this go on, or we might really fall into this kid's hands. Where would I put my old face then?"

Dugu Bo's face darkened, and he spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Little monster, I'm going to use my trump card. If you can't handle it, you'd better admit defeat now, or you'll die at my hands."

"Please, senior, make your move!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the eighth spirit ring behind Dugu Bo lit up instantly.

A black light enveloped his entire body, and he spat out a bright green pill from his mouth. Immediately afterward, a strange wave spread out, and the entire Soul Arena froze for a moment.

Lin Chuan felt a strange force strike him, freezing him in place.

No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't break free from the restraints.

'Is this the old poisoner's time-freezing technique? It's truly bizarre; I can't move at all. If my soul power were strong enough, I could forcefully break through, but I clearly can't. So I'll have to find another method.'

With a thought, flames and water instantly spread across his body.

As the two forces of heaven and earth intertwined, Lin Chuan's body began to tremble slightly.

Upon seeing this, Dugu Bo was immediately shocked.

"This little monster actually wants to forcefully break through my time-freezing technique? What a joke!"

We must not let him succeed!

Don't be fooled by how powerful Time Freeze is; it also consumes a huge amount of energy. If Lin Chuan manages to break through it, then we might not be able to defeat this kid.

Thinking of this, Dugu Bo's whole body shone brightly.

Suddenly, the ground beneath his feet bulged out, and countless rocks blocked Lin Chuan's path. At the same time, two pale white beams of light shot out from Dugu Bo's eyes, heading straight for Lin Chuan's body.

Lin Chuan was instantly bathed in white light, and then his body began to petrify.

In the blink of an eye, he turned into a stone statue.

"complex!"

Dugu Bo let out a soft cry, and the black light of his eighth soul ring receded, restoring the solidified space to normal. Only Lin Chuan turned into a stone statue, trapped among the rocks.

Seeing this, Dugu Bo's eyes showed a more normal human emotion.

"Finally got this kid down. This little monster is really tough to deal with!"

Dugu Bo's face also appeared slightly pale, and he couldn't help but feel a little fortunate. Fortunately, Lin Chuan's soul power was not strong enough, otherwise he might not have been able to restrain him.

The flames and water flow were truly bizarre.

Of course, it's not to say that Dugu Bo is no match for him. If it were a life-or-death struggle without any scruples, he was confident that Lin Chuan would be no match for him. But after all, it was just a friendly spar. Even he himself couldn't fully master the ninth soul skill. If he used it, it was hard to guarantee that Lin Chuan wouldn't be seriously injured, or even have his foundation damaged.

"This little monster definitely has mastered a domain, but I don't know how it did it."

Dugu Bo murmured, his tone tinged with envy, for even he had not mastered that power.

"Click..."

Suddenly, a slight cracking sound rang out.

Dugu Bo suddenly came to his senses, looked at the stone statue again, and his expression changed slightly.

Suddenly, countless cracks appeared on the stone statue that Lin Chuan had transformed into, and they grew larger and larger until it shattered completely with a bang.

Lin Chuan staggered to the ground, and the flames and water on his body dissipated at the same time.

"You brat, you can even break free from my soul bone technique..."

Dugu Bo once again assumed a fighting stance.

To everyone's surprise, Lin Chuan waved his hand, his face pale, and gave a bitter smile. "Let's stop here. I admit defeat. Senior is indeed powerful. I must thank you for showing mercy."

Hearing this, Dugu Bo was clearly relieved.

"Alright, kid Lin, don't look so dejected. I used most of my methods and still couldn't take you down. Just for that, you should be proud of yourself. You really are a monster!"

Lin Chuan shook his head with a wry smile.

He knew his own situation best. His soul power was exhausted. Although he still had some fighting ability thanks to his body, there was no need to continue. It was too early for him to fight against a Title Douluo. However, if he was determined to escape, it would not be easy for an ordinary Title Douluo to stop him.

The power of these two mysteries of all things is greater than imagined. It's just unknown how they compare to the God of Slaughter Domain or the Blue Silver Domain on Douluo Continent!

Chapter 85 The Fundamental Gap

Night Shadow's twin blades vanished in a streak of light.

Lin Chuan swallowed a few Qi-restoring pills, and the medicinal effects spread, rapidly restoring his soul power.

Unfortunately, his application of these two mysteries is still too rudimentary. If he were to truly master them, the power he could unleash would be far greater.

Even more so, if one could combine these two mysterious powers...

'You still need to practice more!'

Lin Chuan sighed, not in a hurry. Besides, there was no use in being anxious. After all, water and fire are incompatible, and it is not easy to combine two completely different forces.

Since there was no one to guide him, he could only proceed by trial and error.

"Young man Lin, how can your martial spirit change its form?"

Dugu Bo couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"Similar to you, senior, after taking the pill, my martial soul also underwent some changes. Not only did the spirit rings merge into my martial soul, but they also acquired multiple forms."

Upon hearing Lin Chuan's explanation, a look of surprise flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes.

Different martial souls mean different attack methods and more means, which is obviously beneficial to a soul master.

How come this kid gets all the good things?

"Then what about the flames and water on your twin blades earlier? They seemed to increase your attack and suppress me. Could it be a legendary domain?"

Dugu Bo asked again.
