Douluo Continent: The True Body and Blood Soul, Starting from Blacksmithing

Chapter 123 One-on-One Duel, Display Mechanism

Seeing that Lin Yu had no intention of putting on the golden armor, Yu Tianheng's tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and a surge of joy welled up in his heart.

The opportunity is coming!

"Okay, then you can do it."

However, before he could finish speaking, Yu Tianheng's pupils suddenly contracted.

The moment he spoke, the three spirit rings beneath Lin Yu's feet lit up instantly.

Yellowish-purple.

A chilling aura of soul power swept across the entire arena as three soul rings lit up.

The stone arena, fifty meters in diameter, beneath everyone's feet suddenly emitted a deafening "boom" as it could no longer bear the weight!

Immediately afterwards, the ground shook violently, and the arena was no longer a flat stone slab. It was as if an invisible giant hand was kneading and tearing it at will. The stone slab bulged and sank out in a ferocious manner, and the broken edges were jagged. The loud crash of the shattering swallowed up all the screams.

The people in the arena instantly lost their balance, staggering and swaying as if they were drunk.

This is just the appetizer.

"Whoosh—!!"

The next instant, the "blood" of the earth gushed out from the crack in the arena!

It was a scorching mudflow formed by the fusion of fire and earth elements, rolling with a deadly luster of orange-red and dark brown.

It doesn't flow slowly, but rather sprays out with a viscous substance carried by high temperature!

It's sizzling!

Hot mud splattered on clothes, instantly burning black holes; when it touched the skin, it caused excruciating burning pain.

Dugu Yan let out a muffled groan first.

Her Azure Phosphorus Serpent Martial Soul lacked any physical enhancement, leaving her utterly powerless against this cataclysmic environment. She glared hatefully at the silver-robed figure in the arena before reluctantly retreating.

Strangely, the hellish area beneath her feet calmed down completely the moment she stepped out.

Lin Yu's precise control was even more chilling than the mudslide.

The second one is Oslo.

As a speed-based Soul Master, his survival depended on speed and agility, which became a joke at this moment. He couldn't even stand steadily, so how could he attack? He had no choice but to leave the field in frustration.

Ma Hongjun struggled the longest. He roared, for he had finally managed to get on the good side of Xue Beng, and he was not willing to retreat like this. He used all his strength to unleash a blazing phoenix fire line towards Lin Yu!

However, the purple flame that had always been invincible seemed to hit an invisible wall when it was about five or six meters away from Lin Yu. After churning violently, it could no longer advance an inch.

He couldn't even break through his opponent's defenses. And the disgusting mud beneath his feet could easily burn him. He was only at the second ring; he couldn't even achieve fire immunity.

"This fight is unwinnable!"

In the blink of an eye, only Yu Tianheng and the two brothers, Shi Mo and Shi Mo, who were still locked in battle with the three-headed Flame Lion, remained on his side.

Yu Tianheng stared intently at Lin Yu, gritting his teeth and growling.

"Lin Yu! I acknowledge your methods, but this is still a competition! You can't be the only one putting on a show while we all just watch!"

As long as he can get close—as long as he can get close! His Thunder Dragon Claw will definitely be able to tear apart this damned elemental manipulation!

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu finally turned her gaze away and gave him a faint glance.

The next moment, Yanhou, who was entangled in a battle with the Shimo brothers, let out a deafening growl, ignored the two, and turned around to leisurely walk towards Lin Yu.

The sheer size of its body created an oppressive aura that made the Graphite Brothers hesitate to pursue it for a moment.

Yu Tianheng's heart tightened; he thought he would have to face this monster again.

But Yanhou walked to Lin Yu's side, and two streams of scorching white smoke, like dragon breath, spewed out from the central head.

Just as Yu Tianheng was tense, Yanhou transformed into a blinding red light and suddenly plunged into Lin Yu's heart.

As for Yanhou's beast-like body, golden scales surged out, instantly condensing into a ferocious golden armor that exuded ancient ferocity!

"They're here!"

Yu Tianheng's hair stood on end, and his thunderous soul power surged wildly.

Although Lin Yu promised not to wear it, the armor still gave him a lot of psychological trauma!

However, the next second, the golden armor receded like the tide and disappeared into Lin Yu's body, revealing his simple silver robe once again.

Yu Tianheng's heart finally relaxed.

Lin Yu spoke up, her words somewhat arrogant: "If you can even touch me, you win."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Yu raised his hand and shook it!

The elements of fire and earth violently intertwined in his palm, instantly solidifying into a long staff that was dark red throughout and had orange lava patterns flowing across its surface.

With the long staff in hand, Lin Yu began to move.

With a swift turn, his silver robe fluttered, and he brought his long staff down with a fierce chop!

"Buzz—!"

An arc-shaped slash, purely condensed from fire element, shot out from the staff, carrying a heat wave that could incinerate everything, and domineeringly tore through the air, aiming straight for Yu Tianheng's face!

This is just the beginning.

Lin Yu wielded his long staff like a wheel, and as he turned, streaks of orange-red fire and dark yellow earth attacks rained down from the tip of his staff, weaving an impenetrable net of death that enveloped Yu Tianheng!

Fire strikes burst forth, scorching the heat; earth strikes are heavy, each blow like a hammer.

"Thunder Dragon Claw!"

Yu Tianheng roared, his right hand, covered in blue dragon scales and shaped like a claw, tearing wildly.

The fire-slashing blades were loose and he could easily tear them apart, but the earthen-yellow slashes were incredibly resilient. Each collision made his right arm go numb and his tiger's mouth feel like it was about to split open!

He wanted to charge, but the uneven ground beneath his feet made it difficult for him to move, and the attacking net in front of him made him run for his life.

He felt like a small boat in a stormy sea, which could capsize at any moment.

"Big brother, let's go for it!"

Just then, a resolute glint flashed in the eyes of the Stone Graphite and Stone Mill brothers. They simultaneously swung out their Black Tortoise Shields!

The two giant shields spun around with a whooshing sound, drawing two deadly arcs in the air, and with immense force, they attacked Lin Yu from the left and right!

They rely on a single, effective tactic, and they never tire of using it.

Lin Yu didn't even glance at the two imposing giant shields, and casually stuck the fire and earth staff aside.

"Let me try this."

With a raised hand and a firm grip, the earth and metal elements instantly coalesced into a dark gold staff, its body possessing both the coldness of metal and the weight of mountains.

"Break!"

Lin Yu swung his hand back, and a dark golden slash, refined to the extreme, appeared out of nowhere!

It lacks the explosive power of Fire Slash, but possesses a sharpness and weight that can cut through anything.

"Doo!"

A dull thud, like a sharp weapon striking hardwood, landed precisely on the two incoming Xuanwu shields.

"Hmph!" Graphite and Millstone both let out a painful groan, their faces turning deathly pale. They felt their Xuanwu Shields, along with their souls, being brutally struck by that blow.

Strangely, after the pain subsided, they felt as if the essence of the tortoise shell had been "solidified" a little.

However, this "benefit" came at a fatal price. Lin Yu's staff flashed faster again, and the dark golden slashes, like a storm, relentlessly bombarded the two tortoise shells!

"Dodo dodo dodo—!"

The dense, muffled thuds blended together, sending chills down everyone's spines.

The Graphite Brothers gritted their teeth, blood even seeping from their seven orifices. Under Lin Yu's deliberate "tempering," cracks in their Xuanwu tortoise shells spread wildly at a visible speed!

Finally, when the two tortoise shells were less than three meters from Lin Yu, and everyone thought they were about to hit their target—

"boom!"

A deafening explosion!

The two Xuanwu tortoise shells, touted as having absolute defense of the same level, suddenly shattered in full view of everyone!

Countless fragments scattered and flew everywhere, like a rain of gems, yet with a chillingly poignant beauty.

The Graphite Brothers were struck as if by a heavy blow, spitting out blood. Using the force of the recoil, they flew off the stage without looking back, their faces showing a mixture of ecstatic joy and lingering fear.

It's broken—but the reforged Xuanwu Shield will surely be even stronger!

The entire room fell silent.

Seeing the tortoise shell fragments flying everywhere, Yu Tianheng stopped all his movements.

He looked at his trembling, blood-stained dragon claws, then at the silver-robed figure standing with his hands behind his back in the distance, seemingly having done nothing.

A deep sense of powerlessness, like an icy tide, completely overwhelmed him.

The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex is indeed the number one beast spirit in the world, but that depends on who it's compared to and who it's in front of.

Originally, Yu Tianheng could fool himself because Lin Yu's soul power level was higher than his own, and the actual difference between the two was simply the difference in soul power level.

Looking at it now, I realize that even when I reach the Soul Master level, I'll still be far from being a match for this guy.
