Douluo Continent: On Becoming a God Through Science

Chapter 141 You Chen VS Two Douluos + Qian Renxue

"Young Master."

The Porcupine Douluo and the Serpent Spear Douluo suddenly appeared, having already surrounded Youxing's rear.

If they weren't so interested in the plan to capture Youxing to force Youchen to show himself before, things are completely different now.

Since You Chen will tell the secret to You Xing, there's no guarantee he won't tell anyone else!

Therefore, capturing Youxing here is the only way to threaten Youchen, making him hesitant to reveal this secret!

"What? Are you worried that the teacher has told your secret to anyone other than me? Are you worried that your years of infiltration will all come to nothing? If that's the case, then there's no need to worry."

Youxing stood suspended in mid-air, seemingly oblivious to the oppressive aura emanating from the two Title Douluos behind her. A rare display of arrogance and contempt appeared on her usually cold face as she coldly declared, "My dear senior sister, the reason our teacher told me your secret is simply because I am now the first disciple to inherit his will! One day, I will be the one to defeat you, you fool! Surely you won't be unable to recognize me then? Don't worry, our teacher won't be like you, two-faced and fickle."

"Fickle and unpredictable..."

Qian Renxue's pupils contracted; the words stung her heart.

As the saying goes, lies don't hurt, but the truth is the sharpest knife.

He had promised his teacher that he wouldn't be swayed by Bibi Dong to infiltrate Heaven Dou City, but later he agreed to Bibi Dong's request without even consulting his teacher, ultimately leading to a falling out between the master and disciple...

Qian Renxue clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug deep into her flesh. She didn't even realize it herself. She was glaring fiercely at You Xing, and Xue Qinghe's face was contorted with rage.

In an instant, Qian Renxue removed the disguise of her soul bone, her golden hair fluttering, revealing her stunningly beautiful face and perfectly developed figure hidden beneath the soul bone technique.

On the body of the sacred and noble angelic martial soul, seven soul rings, two purple and five black, swirled and appeared!

She stared at Yusei and said in a low voice, "Knowing my true identity, you still came to greet me alone? Rest assured, you will not have the chance to defeat me, because from now on, you will be imprisoned forever and spend the rest of your life in prison."

—Only I am the teacher's most prized student!!!

A hint of crimson appeared in Qian Renxue's eyes as she roared inwardly.

Upon receiving Qian Renxue's order, the two Title Douluos moved simultaneously.

however--

"My little Xue'er, you have really disappointed me."

A faint male voice suddenly rang out.

With two loud thuds, the two titled Douluo were knocked back from mid-air and slammed to the ground in astonishment.

"you--"

Qian Renxue stared wide-eyed at the figure that suddenly appeared and blocked the two Title Douluos for Youxing.

Although he now wore glasses and his appearance had changed drastically, his calm voice and composed demeanor allowed her to immediately identify him.

"teacher……"

Qian Renxue bit her red lips and uttered those two words with a slight tremor.

The teacher remained as calm and composed as ever, appearing like an ordinary schoolteacher, yet possessing profound knowledge and wisdom. He seemed humble and indifferent to others' opinions, but in reality, he exuded the confidence of a capable person who disregarded the judgment of others. Now, he also seemed to possess an air of overwhelming power and authority.

He has changed, but he is still the same person he always was.

Although Qian Renxue did intend to use Youxing to force Youchen out, she did not expect that they would meet again so soon and so suddenly.

This is simply... the worst kind of goodbye.

Just then, Yusei's cold laugh rang out: "My foolish senior sister, how utterly deranged must you be to think I came alone?"

The sarcastic tone ignited Qian Renxue's anger, but instead calmed her down.

"Bloodthirst, Dragon She! Quickly capture Star Traveler and Dust Traveler!"

After saying that, Qian Renxue's golden angel wings fluttered, and the angel sword slashed directly at You Chen!

Although You Chen has displayed astonishing strength, the immediate priority is not to delve into the reasons, but to capture the two here according to the original plan!

The two titled Douluo quickly calmed down under Qian Renxue's orders.

Although it was surprising that You Chen was able to stop them, they did not think that You Chen's strength had risen to the title level!

At most, they only benefited from the advantages of surprise attacks and flight capabilities!

At this moment, the Youchen in mid-air is naturally the real Youchen.

As he flew towards Qian Renxue and the other two, he had already prepared for battle and completed the switch.

At this moment, under the powerful sweep of mental energy, You Chen quickly confirmed the strength of the three.

There's not much to say about the two Title Douluos; his main focus is on Qian Renxue.

"Soul power level, 76? Truly... pathetic."

You Chen instantly completed the Martial Soul Possession, and a powerful wave of soul power spread out.

He suddenly reached out and grabbed Qian Renxue's Angelic Holy Sword.

Immediately, the power of stardust, formed by the convergence of the three elements of wind, stars, and divinity, erupted.

Possessing a god-level martial soul, fighting beyond one's level is just a normal basic operation. Even though she has neglected training for so many years, she still possesses the combat power of a titled warrior simply by relying on the soul rings and soul bones on her body.

This angelic holy sword, burning with sacred flames, is formed from a 50,000-year soul ring, and even ordinary titled Douluo need to avoid its sharp edge.

Qian Renxue's eyes widened: "What—"

However, before he could even utter a cry of surprise, You Chen crushed the Angelic Holy Sword with a single hand.

"puff!"

The power of stardust, flowing along the exploding Angelic Holy Sword, exacerbated the backlash on Qian Renxue's soul power, causing her to vomit blood.

"Young Master!!!"

Upon seeing Qian Renxue injured, Serpent Spear Douluo was instantly enraged: "How dare you harm the young master?! Martial Soul True Body!!!"

A gigantic serpent, its body covered in steel-like thorny scales and possessing two heads—one blue and one purple—roared into existence.

Even for a Title Douluo, the Martial Soul True Body is still their trump card.

Under normal circumstances, an ordinary Title Douluo is no match for a Super Douluo, but if they use their Martial Soul True Body, they can hold their own against them.

Seeing his good brother unleash his ultimate move without warning, the Porcupine Douluo's eyes narrowed slightly. However, he decided to observe the situation for the time being and chose to release a ranged soul skill to assist his good brother from the side.

At this moment, the two-headed giant snake that the Serpent Spear Douluo had transformed into was already spewing lightning as it charged toward You Chen.

Although Serpent Spear Douluo is a weapon spirit master, he has mastered the secret method of transforming into a beast spirit spirit true body during the spirit true body stage. Compared to the spirit true bodies of possible two-headed snake beast spirit spirit masters, his body possesses the toughness of a weapon spirit spirit, making it even more resilient. Its symbol is the snake scales that resemble steel thorns.

However, this secret technique is not without its flaws. In this state, the Serpent Spear Douluo cannot use Soul Rings or Soul Skills. If he does not develop a corresponding Beast Soul Transformation self-created Soul Skill, this move is somewhat like a silver-plated spearhead, all show and no substance.

Such a flaw is clearly a fatal weakness in the face of the strong.

"Martial Soul True Form".

You Chen's calm voice echoed in the sky, and in an instant, soul power surged, and the world changed color.

Endless starlight coalesced into a gigantic and beautiful white dragon, its entire body enveloped in starlight.

Coughing up blood, Qian Renxue saw that both Title Douluo guards had unleashed their Martial Soul True Forms and assumed that victory was assured. In order not to hold them back, she was watching from the sidelines when she witnessed this scene.

I saw... that blood-red seventh spirit ring.

Qian Renxue's face completely drained of color: "Seven-ring Soul Saint... 100,000 years... Soul Rings?"

The essence of the Martial Soul True Body is an amplification soul skill that will never become outdated as the soul master's level increases. Moreover, unless you deliberately equip yourself with a trash soul ring, its amplification ratio is definitely the highest level among all soul rings and soul skills.

In You Chen's understanding, both are "burst" skills, but Martial Soul True Body tends to stack numerical values, while Spirit Realm Burst tends to optimize the mechanism. It is difficult to evaluate which is better or worse, but as long as they are used, they are both killing moves that can make you fight against opponents of higher levels.

After strengthening his physical body with the Ice and Fire Immortal Grass, You Chen's overall strength was comparable to that of a Super Douluo.

Although his combat strength mainly lies in his physical body, that is, in close combat, after being strengthened by his 100,000-year-old Martial Soul True Body, his soul power is still quite strong.

"Sixth Soul Skill: Air Blade"

With a low hum, countless fine air threads, several times larger and more powerful than when used directly, instantly enveloped the Serpent Spear Douluo's massive body.

Its imposing size actually resulted in a larger area to be hit.

The Serpent Spear Douluo's Martial Soul True Form is far less agile than his Weapon Soul True Form.

Although it is more resilient and powerful than the normal two-headed snake spirit, it is correspondingly heavier and less easy to control, and most importantly, it cannot use spirit skills.

Faced with this attack, there was no way to dodge it, nor could other soul skills be used to defend against it; the only option was to withstand it with one's physical body.

The Porcupine Douluo's expression changed drastically, and he roared, "True Martial Soul Form!"

Immediately, the Porcupine Douluo's body rapidly swelled, transforming into a giant spherical porcupine beast. Its steel-like skin and sharp spikes pierced and crushed the surrounding bushes during the expansion process.

Most importantly, he stood in front of the giant two-headed snake.

Thousands of air blades sliced ​​through, producing a clanging sound like metal clashing against metal.

As a Soul Master's Martial Soul evolves to the later stages, its weaknesses decrease. The Porcupine Douluo is well-rounded in both offense and defense; the only thing it might lack is speed.

His extremely hard armor was not much weaker than that of a Title Douluo of the same level who was a defensive type.

At least compared to the Serpent Spear Douluo who has transformed into a beast soul, its defensive capabilities are superior.

Even though the Porcupine Douluo acted as a wall in time, more than a third of the air blades still successfully hit the Serpent Spear Douluo.

"Ughhhhh!!!"

The giant two-headed snake let out a miserable cry. If You Chen hadn't held back and hadn't used his 100,000-year soul skill, Air Compression, to amplify the air blade, and if the Porcupine Douluo hadn't sacrificed himself to block it, this attack would have been enough to kill the Serpent Spear Douluo instantly.

That's understandable. You Chen's goal isn't to push Qian Renxue to the opposite side right now. He wouldn't do something that could easily lead to hatred. The focus is on defeating her, not killing her.

Even so, it still caused Serpent Spear Douluo's Martial Soul True Body to shake violently, and it seemed that he could no longer maintain it.

"Old She!" the Porcupine Douluo called out in a low voice.

"I...I'm fine..."

The Serpent Spear Douluo, panting heavily, had already transformed into his weapon spirit form. He gazed at the blue-white dragon in the sky, his expression extremely grave: "Old Thorn, this guy... he's probably not much weaker than the Elders!"

"Yes, I know."

The Porcupine Douluo nodded calmly.

Just then, not far away, a dazzling and holy light burst forth. It was Qian Renxue who had already unleashed her true angel form. The phantom of a six-winged angel behind her merged with her own body, and her whole body shone with golden light. Finally, a pair of golden wings extended out, and she completely transformed into a holy six-winged angel!

A powerful angelic domain suddenly unfolded, directly enveloping both titled Douluo.

After being enveloped in a faint golden light, both the Porcupine Douluo and the Serpent Spear Douluo felt a lightness in their bodies, and their strength was clearly and comprehensively enhanced!

A black spirit ring rotated around Qian Renxue, and a warm holy light fell directly on the Serpent Spear Douluo. In just a moment, the Serpent Spear Douluo felt his injuries were greatly relieved.

However, You Chen felt no annoyance or anger at this; he simply watched their recovery calmly, as if everything was still under his control.

But Qian Renxue had already recovered from the shock of witnessing You Chen's seventh ring of ten thousand years.

She looked at You Chen with a serious expression and said in a low voice, "Teacher, do we really have to go to such extremes?"

"Did you regain your confidence just by showing off your expertise?"

You Chen shook his head slightly: "Xue'er, have you forgotten who taught you your martial spirit knowledge? You think... you're the only one who possesses a mere domain?"

The Sacrificial Sanctuary suddenly unfolded, and this starlight domain quickly collided with the Angelic Domain.

It must be admitted that the divine-level martial soul is indeed domineering; even the Holy Domain, the sacrifice of You Chen, could only hold its own against it.

Qian Renxue's expression changed instantly.

"How is that possible!?"

She clearly sensed that Youchen's domain had similar characteristics to her angelic domain, both containing sacred purifying power.

However, when it comes to holiness and purification, the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul should be the absolute number one in the Douluo Continent! There shouldn't be any other similar realm that can rival it!

In a clash of forces at the same level, especially since the Sacrifice Sanctuary is a completely defensive domain, the Angelic Domain's weakening of You Chen, its purification and dissolution of his soul power, and all subsequent derivative effects were all nullified.

"You're obsessed with those nonsensical power struggles and politics. How could you possibly understand the profound mysteries of martial spirits with your limited perspective?"

You Chen subtly taunted Qian Renxue again: "Go ahead and use your useless domain to amplify and heal those two guards. I'll show you what... the true meaning of a Martial Soul really is!"

Whoosh!

Qian Renxue only had time to catch a glimpse of his afterimage before You Chen charged toward the two Title Douluos.

Wow, so fast!

Qian Renxue's pupils contracted. She had to admit that You Chen's speed was still superior to hers! Despite possessing the same martial soul as her grandfather, "Invincible in the Sky," she had lost in speed to her teacher, who was also a Soul Saint!

Qian Renxue looked at her two injured subordinates and felt a little annoyed.

Her gaze couldn't help but drift towards Youxing, who was silently far from the battlefield. More than ten years of immersing herself in imperial power politics and measuring everyone and everything by interests made her subconsciously think of a way to kidnap Youxing and force Youchen to surrender.

but……

The moment the thought crossed her mind, she was reminded of how You Chen's previously indifferent gaze had turned to disgust and hatred after she did so, and she dismissed the idea.

"The teacher is merely a Soul Saint! Why resort to such tricks!"

Qian Renxue's gaze hardened, and she quickly approached You Chen.

You Chen told her to watch, so she just watched?

"Teacher, I'm not that little kid anymore!!!"

Qian Renxue roared inwardly, as if trying to prove something.

……

Both the Porcupine Douluo and the Serpent Spear Douluo are actually strong individuals capable of standing alone. At least compared to Dugu Bo, who specializes in group attacks, these two are capable of fighting against most strong individuals of the same level.

Especially after they unleash their Martial Soul True Form, even a Super Douluo can hold their own.

If Serpent Spear Douluo hadn't brought this upon himself, even You Chen wouldn't have been able to inflict such a severe injury and nearly kill him in one move.

Now, they have both received the boost from Qian Renxue's Angel Domain. Although their strength is still not at the level of Super Douluo, it is extremely close to the level of 94-95 in this era.

Especially this Porcupine Douluo, although he looks much more robust and burly than the Serpent Spear Douluo, he is much more meticulous and can easily find his weaknesses, unlike the Serpent Spear Douluo.

Those poisonous thorns that were fired repeatedly, regardless of the consumption of soul power, did indeed cause some trouble for You Chen.

Fortunately, You Chen also used his Martial Soul True Body. The strength of a 100,000-year soul ring is a level higher than that of a 10,000-year soul ring, and the amplification from his Martial Soul True Body far surpasses that of the other two.

In particular, You Chen has an absolute advantage in speed, so defeating them is only a matter of time.

You Chen's gaze shifted slightly towards Qian Renxue, who was rapidly approaching... but his goal was not just to defeat the Porcupine Douluo.

The spiritual realm erupted.

You Chen silently recited in his heart.

In an instant, that state of clarity and absolute control returned.

This was the first time You Chen had simultaneously unleashed the Spirit Realm Burst and his Martial Soul True Body.

He suddenly realized that, in the state of spiritual explosion, the consumption of soul power by the Martial Soul True Body was increasing dramatically.

His soul power was not as strong as that of a Title Douluo. If it weren't for the existence of his soul core, he probably wouldn't be able to maintain this "dual ultimate move" mode.

There was no time to ponder the reasons.

We must end this quickly.

You Chen had already figured out his strategy, and in an instant, five Stardust Dragons emerged.

Stardust Illusion!

Unlike the starlight incarnation, each phantom possesses power identical to the real one!

"The first thing we need to deal with... is that guy, the Porcupine Douluo."

You Chen immediately identified the more crucial of the two Douluo.

With the control and cover of the Porcupine Douluo, the Serpent Spear Douluo was able to better unleash the power of his weapon spirit true form.

Although Qian Renxue healed Serpent Spear Douluo, such injuries could not be recovered in one go.

Logically speaking, the best course of action is to strike while the iron is hot and deal with the injured party first.

However, the Porcupine Douluo provided excellent cover and defense for the Serpent Spear Douluo. Whenever You Chen attempted to attack the Serpent Spear Douluo, the Porcupine Douluo would intervene in time to provide assistance.

Conversely, the Serpent Spear Douluo tends to be more aggressive and purely offensive, lacking in support and defensive capabilities.

Therefore, although it goes against common sense, the first thing to do here is to deal with the Porcupine Douluo.

Thus, the five Stardust Phantoms, one of whom was responsible for intercepting Qian Renxue, and the remaining four all rushed towards the Porcupine Douluo!
