Douluo Continent: Gretchen at the start, empowered by the Star God.

Chapter 140 Morax's Instruction

There was no need to wait any longer, so Lang Lei clicked "Yes" without hesitation.

The next moment, the world spun around him, and Lang Lei was transported into a special space. The surroundings were desolate, like a desert. In the center of this space, a mature man in a brown robe with golden eyes stood with his back to him.

Just looking at his back gives you a strong sense of security...

"Morax?" Langley asked tentatively.

"As expected, you possess incredible intelligence capabilities at all times." Morax slowly turned around and said, "However, at this moment I am only Zhong Li, not Morax."

"I understand." Lang Lei nodded; he was aware of Zhong Li's little quirk. "So, what exactly does this so-called trial mean?"

"It's called a trial, but it's actually an instruction." Morax made a fist with his right hand, and the Rainbow Spear appeared in the other's hand.

"Does that mean we have to fight first?" Lang Lei wasn't afraid at all; after all, it was just a trial, and he couldn't very well kill him.

Besides, although his current strength is still a bit behind Morax, he is still someone who can solo the God Realm of Douluo Continent, so he has a bit of arrogance, okay!

With his defense and resilience, he has nothing to fear!

"That's right, it's just a contest of skills. You should have noticed that here, our aura and physical strength are basically the same," Morax reminded him.

Lang Lei was a little embarrassed. He really hadn't noticed, but he couldn't lose face, so he didn't deny it.

"First Soul Skill, Thousand Transformations Shaping".

A rock spear appeared in Lang Lei's hand; Lang Lei's rock creations had now reached a terrifying level of hardness.

It has a hardness comparable to that of a god-king, multiplied by 9,801.

No matter where you place it, anything that Lang Lei can easily mold is already considered a fine artifact.

"Not bad," Morax praised.

"Are you praising yourself?" Lang Lei smiled. "But thank you for the compliment anyway."

"Let's take the landing of this rock as a signal." A rock appeared beside Morax.

"Okay." Lang Lei nodded, his eyes fixed on the floating rock.

As Morax withdrew his power, the stone began to fall to the ground. The instant the rock hit the ground, Langrei charged towards Morax like a sharp sword.

Morax calmly drew his gun to defend himself, and the two engaged in a fierce battle.

Morax is undoubtedly a master of spearmanship who has been immersed in martial arts for a long time. His spearmanship is known for its steadiness. Every move reveals unfathomable inner strength and superb skills. He truly deserves to be called the God of War.

Lang Lei had never systematically studied gun techniques; his methods were completely unorthodox and unskilled. However, every time he fired a shot, it was as fast as lightning, and his most outstanding trait was the force that sent bricks flying.

Lang Lei launched several attacks, his spear tip moving like a serpent emerging from its hole, aiming straight for Morax's vitals. However, Morax remained calm and composed, simply flicking the tip of his spear lightly, instantly neutralizing Lang Lei's attacks.

Then, Morax took the initiative to attack, his marksmanship flowing like water, each move pressing Lang Lei relentlessly.

Despite his best efforts to defend, Langley gradually found himself at a disadvantage against Morax's impenetrable marksmanship. Every shot Morax fired accurately suppressed Langley's offensive, making it difficult for him to find an opportunity to counterattack. It could be said that Morax's marksmanship was simply divine.

Despite being suppressed, Langley, driven by his pride, did not give up. He constantly adjusted his strategies, trying to find a weakness in Morax's defenses. However, Morax seemed to have seen through everything, always able to anticipate Langley's moves and thwart all his efforts.

Suddenly, Lang Lei swiftly moved out of Morax's attack range, retreating a few steps before lunging forward. Activating his skill "Immovable," he simultaneously hurled his gun. The spear tip, whistling through the air, pierced straight towards Morax's chest.

Morax smiled slightly, flicked his gun, and at an extremely clever angle, guided Lang Lei's gun tip to the side. Then, with a flick of his wrist, Lang Lei's gun spun back and landed at Lang Lei's feet.

"I lost..."

Although he had expected it, Lang Lei really didn't expect to lose so quickly.

It seems I really need to practice my skills; otherwise, when facing a slightly stronger opponent, my skills might become a burden and hold them back.

"How about we try some other weapons?" Morax suddenly asked.

Lang Lei's eyes lit up. Guns require a high level of skill, but other things might be better!

"Of course, you can unleash your abilities to the fullest; it's part of your martial arts, and you should try to suppress them," Morax added at the end.

"Of course, again!" Lang Lei waved his hand to disperse the rock spears and stood in front of Morax once more.

This time, Morax launched the first attack, his spear like a dragon, aiming straight for Langley's throat.

Lang Lei's eyes narrowed, and he swiftly clasped his hands together. The rocks around him instantly coalesced into a thick stone wall, blocking Morax's thrust. The stone wall was struck by the spear tip, producing a deafening roar, but it successfully neutralized the attack.

Langrei did not stop there. Using the strength of the rocks, he swung his hands, and two huge stone hammers flew out, smashing towards Morax. Morax was agile and deflected the stone hammers with his spear, but Langrei's attacks were like a tidal wave, one wave after another.

For Lang Lei, such straightforward and brutal weapons are more satisfying, even if they don't look cool...

Faced with Langley's attack, Morax also realized from experience that he could no longer just defend and had to take the initiative.

Morax used the rocks as leverage to leap into the air, his spear tracing a magnificent arc as it aimed straight for Langley's face. Langley reacted swiftly, leaning back to avoid the attack. Simultaneously, he clapped his hands together, causing the ground to suddenly bulge and propel Morax into the air.

Morax was slightly taken aback, as if he hadn't expected that one day he would be hit by an ability similar to his own.

Morax tumbled through the air and landed steadily, but Langrei's attack came again. This time, he manipulated rocks to form several waving chains, attempting to bind Morax. Morax flicked his spear, the tip transforming into countless cold stars, shattering all the chains that attacked him.

The battle intensified, and the ground was littered with various weapons that Lang Lei hadn't had time to disperse: throwing knives, giant axes, spears, and even meteor hammers...

Although Lang Lei managed to fight Morax to a draw using his first soul skill, he also felt somewhat powerless.

The gap is still too big...

At the same time, Lang Lei also knew that Morax most likely had an ability similar to his first soul skill, but he just didn't use it.

As expected of the strongest ruler, Morax possessed extremely rich combat experience, and every strike was perfectly timed, making it difficult for Langley to defend himself. Langley knew that he had to find Morax's weakness in order to turn the tide of the battle.

Just then, Morax flicked his spear, shattering a boulder, sending fragments flying everywhere. Langley's eyes lit up; he swiftly manipulated the fragments, creating a dense rain of stones that attacked Morax from all directions. Morax wielded his spear like the wind, deflecting the rain of stones, but Langley's true objective was not this.

Langley clasped his hands together, and the ground suddenly cracked open. Morax lost his footing and frowned slightly, but did not use his elemental control ability to repair the ground.

Just as Morax regained his footing, Langley seized the opportunity to close the distance, throwing a punch covered in hard rock, aimed straight at Morax's chest. Morax blocked the punch with his spear. In this space, both men had similar physical abilities, and with one man's intentions catching the other off guard, Morax staggered back a few steps.

If Lang Lei had activated his Courageous Dragon Wings, this attack would likely have been more effective, but that wouldn't have mattered...

Langre pressed his advantage, unleashing his full rock power. The surrounding rocks seemed to come alive, forming various weapons that attacked Morax from different directions. Morax's spear moved like a dragon, dodging and blocking, but how could Langre let such a rare opportunity slip by? His attacks rained down on Morax like a storm, gradually putting him on the defensive.

However, Morax, a seasoned warrior, suddenly found an opening in the fierce battle. With a flick of his spear, he shattered a rock and then kicked it fiercely at Langley. The broken rock struck Langley's arm, momentarily halting his movement. Morax seized the opportunity, thrusting his spear forward and forcing Langley back.

"As expected of a martial god..."

Happy National Day, everyone!
