Douluo: The Dragon King - I Planted the Divine Tree in Douluo.

Wu Changkong remained silent, a faint purple glint appearing in his cold eyes as he tried to find Su Mo's weakness with his Purple Demon Eye.

Seeing that Wu Changkong did not make a move, Su Mo was not in a hurry. He hugged his sword to his chest and leisurely waited with Wu Changkong.

When both sides possess strong insight, whoever strikes first will be at a disadvantage.

"Who do you think will win this time, the dance teacher or Su Mo?"

Seeing Wu Changkong and Su Mo locked in a standoff without making a move, Xie Xie crossed his arms behind his head, looking like he was enjoying the show.

"It must be the dance teacher!"

Tang Wulin said somewhat uncertainly.

He clearly remembered the shocking scene of Wu Changkong, with his Soul Emperor cultivation, battling a Soul Douluo in Tiandou City.

Moreover, although Su Mo won the last competition, neither of them used their martial souls; it was simply a contest of skills and experience.

Now that I'm using my Martial Soul, everything is different.

"Gu Yue, what do you think?"

Tang Wulin subconsciously turned around to ask Gu Yue's opinion, only to be surprised to find that Gu Yue and Xu Xiaoyan were sitting on the other side.

For some reason, Tang Wulin felt a slight pang of bitterness after seeing Gu Yue keep a certain distance from him.

"Gu Yue wasn't like this before!"

Tang Wulin muttered something under his breath as he watched Gu Yue's gaze fixed on Su Mo and Wu Changkong.

In the past, Gu Yue would sit next to him after every training session. This was the first time she had ever kept her distance from him like this and focused all her attention on other people.

"Wu Lin, what did you say?"

Xie Xie, who hadn't heard Tang Wulin's mutterings clearly, asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin quickly concealed the bitterness on his face, shook his head, and said, "No!"

Xie Xie wanted to say something more, but his attention was drawn away by the commotion on the field.

Moved!

Almost simultaneously, Su Mo and Wu Changkong made their moves.

Wu Changkong's body emanated a chilling aura, and his swordplay was as powerful as the sudden arrival of winter, sending shivers down one's spine. His sharp sword intent was aimed directly at Su Mo's brow.

The terrifying chill emanating from the body covered the flat playground with a thin layer of frost.

Facing Wu Changkong's fierce attack, Su Mo's eyes remained calm, even somewhat casual. With a slight twist of his wrist, the horizontal blade swept across his palm in a tricky arc, accompanied by a whistling wind, and slashed out horizontally.

The blade gleamed like a white ribbon, its sharpness unmatched.

Su Mo's timing was so perfect and ruthless that Wu Changkong had no choice but to turn the direction of the Heavenly Frost Sword to defend against Su Mo's attack.

"Clang!"

The horizontal saber and the Heavenly Frost Sword clashed fiercely, producing a piercing metallic clang, and a terrifying shockwave spread outwards from the two of them.

The ice beneath Wu Changkong's feet cracked inch by inch, yet he remained firmly steadied, a glint of light flashing in his eyes as he looked at Su Mo.

Originally, Wu Changkong intended to use his speed combined with his Heavenly Frost Sword Intent to unexpectedly suppress Su Mo.

But to his surprise, Su Mo not only reacted immediately, but also responded perfectly, which made him the one who was suppressed.

However, he had anticipated the current situation.

Although he didn't particularly like troublemakers like Su Mo, he had stopped underestimating Su Mo after their last battle.

In Wu Changkong's eyes, Su Mo was an opponent he was worthy of taking seriously.

A chilling aura emanated from the Heavenly Frost Sword, from which delicate, transparent sword threads floated out, their target Su Mo.

As the sword threads drifted down towards him like snowflakes, Su Mo instinctively sensed a hint of danger.

He instinctively tried to draw his sword to escape, but no matter how hard he tried, the sword in his hand remained motionless.

Upon closer inspection, he realized that a layer of frost had formed on the part of his sword that had come into contact with the Heavenly Frost Sword at some point.

Seeing the slight surprise on Su Mo's face, Wu Changkong's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile.

Su Mo is still too inexperienced!

But soon Wu Changkong's smile froze as two hemispherical earthen walls, each several meters high, rose up with a rumble, pressing down on him from the left and right.

"not good!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Wu Changkong, like Su Mo, instinctively wanted to retreat.

But Su Mo wouldn't give Wu Changkong that chance. He suddenly exerted force with his right hand and grabbed Wu Changkong tightly, preventing him from retreating even an inch.

With his earthen spear by his side, he wouldn't suffer any harm even if he took a direct hit from Wu Changkong.

But Wu Changkong is different; without the Heavenly Frost Sword, he has no other means of defense.

Realizing he had shot himself in the foot, Wu Changkong didn't hesitate. He decisively recalled the Heavenly Frost Sword and used the Ghost Shadow Step to retreat at top speed.

"snort!"

Watching Wu Changkong's figure become ethereal and retreat rapidly, Su Mo's lips curled into a smile. He had long anticipated that Wu Changkong would do this.

So, while casting the Mountain and Earth Technique, taking advantage of the moment when Wu Changkong's attention was distracted by the sound of the technique, he quietly cast the Yellow Springs Swamp, turning the open space behind Wu Changkong into a wet swamp.

Just as Wu Changkong escaped the range of the Mountain and Earth Technique's attack using the Ghostly Shadow Step, he suddenly felt his legs give way and his whole body began to sink uncontrollably.

"A swamp! When did this appear?"

Seeing the mud that was already up to his ankles, Wu Changkong dared not be negligent. A sudden burst of cold air erupted from his body, turning the swamp beneath his feet into a frozen wasteland.

Before Wu Changkong could escape, Su Mo's attack came again.

The ground suddenly began to rise without warning, and the violent shaking made it impossible for Wu Changkong to find any point of leverage.

Thanks to the fact that his chakra had become a martial soul, Su Mo's control over his own chakra had reached an unbelievable level.

Su Mo can now use any ninjutsu without needing to form hand seals.

"Vacuum Otama!"

Su Mo took a deep breath, her chest suddenly bulging.

The next second, a huge burst of air suddenly shot out of his mouth, flying towards Wu Changkong like a rocket.

Seeing the air cannon coming straight at him, Wu Changkong's pupils suddenly contracted, and an unprecedented sense of crisis suddenly rose in his heart.

Third Soul Skill - Heavenly Frost Slash

Wu Changkong unleashed the full power of his Heavenly Frost Sword, instantly covering its snow-white blade with a layer of blue-white frost. The emanating chill froze the entire ground.

Wu Changkong swung his sword fiercely, and the sword light poured down like frost and snow, mixed with an extremely cold aura. It transformed into a crescent-shaped sword beam, cutting through the air and slashing straight at the whistling air cannon!

"boom--!!!"

Su Mo's Vacuum Jade and Wu Changkong's Heavenly Frost Slash collided in mid-air, causing a violent explosion.

The violent airflow, carrying ice shards, swept across the playground like a once-in-a-millennium blizzard.

"Depend on!"

Tang Wulin and Xie Xie, who were watching the battle from a short distance away, cursed inwardly upon seeing this scene, then hurriedly got up and ran back, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.

Xu Xiaoyan, who was sitting next to Gu Yue, was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she quickly hugged Gu Yue's arm tightly.

Of everyone, only Gu Yue remained calm.

With a wave of her hand, Gu Yue conjured a massive earthen wall that rose from all directions, enveloping her and Xu Xiaoyan completely.
