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

The reason Lin Yu had some guesses about the effects of the other party's mastery of the soul skill was because he thought of his own soul skill.

Because of his martial soul, his soul skills are different from others: one soul ring can provide him with four skills.

Each of the four soul skills, taken individually, is about as strong as a normal soul skill, and in some cases, their effects are even purer than those of other people's soul skills.

However, if the soul skill hadn't been divided into four, and instead a mixed soul skill had been obtained, the effect would probably be the same as the third soul skill of the Flame Breaker Blade—it would involve various aspects, but not be proficient in any of them.

Although the golden scales are gone, its ability to split its soul skill into four is still effective!

Lin Yu briefly brainstormed, but that didn't stop her from doing what she was doing.

The fire knife's strike didn't cause any effective damage to Lin Yu, but Lin Yu's punch sent him spitting blood and sliding away.

If Huo Dao hadn't stopped him in time with his Flame-Breaking Blade, he would have slid all the way off the stage.

The rules here are the same as those in the Soul Arena; leaving the arena is considered a surrender.

Both being three-ring Soul Masters, Huo Dao was a Gold Soul Master in the Soul Arena. He even used his third Soul Skill, but failed to force out a single Soul Skill from his opponent. It would be quite embarrassing for him to end up like this.

Lin Yu was still marveling at the impressive physical abilities of early-stage weapon spirit masters when he saw his opponent coughing up blood and being seriously injured, yet still lingering on the field and refusing to leave, so he frowned.

"Hey, you're already like this, why aren't you leaving? What are you trying to struggle for?"

Hearing the young man's taunts, Fire Blade couldn't hold back any longer: "Leave the stage? If I leave now, what will Prince Avalanche think of me?"

Having finally escaped the Soul Arena and climbed the social ladder to become the Prince of Heavenly Dou, how could he possibly give up?

"Kid, I don't blame you for being young. When you get to my age, you'll understand that some things can't be easily dismissed with a simple 'leave' or 'give up'."

"I've already dedicated my youth to the arena, and you actually want me to say I'm quitting! For victory, it seems I'll have to fight to the death in this battle!"

As Huo Dao finished speaking, a layer of flames erupted from the blade of his Flame-Breaking Blade.

Wielding the Flamebreaker Blade enchanted with fire, Fireblade, dragging his heavily injured body, charged straight at Lin Yu.

He has a secret.

Ever since the day he was denied entry into the Advanced Soul Master Academy and could only enter the Soul Arena, he had been hiding his true abilities.

His martial spirit, the Flame-Breaking Blade, has always had two forms.

The first form is the standard red blade with a black handle and back.

The second type requires soul power to activate, which is the current form of sprayed flames.

The reason for keeping this a secret is to prevent retaliation from opponents on the field or from some spectators who lost their bets.

For a long time, everyone who had seen his martial spirit in this form had died!

Today, in order to make a lasting impression on Prince Avalanche, Fireblade felt it was necessary to put on a show.

Only then did he adopt a posture of dragging his injured body, ready to fight to the death.

Since the other side arranged for me to go first, they probably thought I wouldn't win.

Since the outcome is already predetermined, let's make the process more exciting!

Lin Yu looked somewhat helpless as he watched the flaming swords rushing towards him.

"It's just a competition. Are you sure you want to risk your life for a single victory?"

Hearing Huo Dao's words, who was charging forward, he was a little confused, but when it comes to acting, you have to go all the way.

"As I've said before, I've already dedicated my youth to the competition, so naturally I'll give it my all for victory!"

Lin Yu nodded to indicate that he understood, and then his second and third soul skills lit up simultaneously.

Fireblade, in the midst of his charge, suddenly felt a sharp pain in his foot.

Before the kick could land, Fire Blade, with his strong body control, fell to the side.

As he fell, he felt a sharp pain in his lower back.

Something sharp emerged from the ground and pierced his ribs.

Looking back at where my foot was about to land, I saw a line of blood running down my sole!

In the blink of an eye, it pierced through the soles of the feet and the ribs. Isn't this guy's soul skill a bit too sinister?

Before Huo Dao could quickly get up, an incredibly violent spiritual force, carrying a surge of soul power, pierced his heart through the iron spikes in his ribs.

In an instant, his heart felt as if it were being gripped by a large hand, which tightened slowly and then loosened.

That's that guy's second soul skill!

Using earth spikes to inject soul power into the opponent's body before launching an attack? Isn't that a bit too underhanded?

Also, isn't this excessive control over the heart?

He tried to use his soul skill to dispel the soul power in his heart area, but instantly another iron spike pierced his body, followed by another surge of soul power.

Having witnessed the power of the opponent's second soul skill, Huo Dao quickly mobilized all his soul power to isolate the soul power that was trying to penetrate his heart.

Only in this way could Lin Yu's second soul skill be prevented from being activated.

The opponent can only not use the second soul skill now, but the third soul skill has not disappeared. Iron spikes keep piercing out from the ground, leaving one hole after another on his body.

Fortunately, the iron spikes on the other side didn't have any special additional properties; otherwise, those spikes alone would have been enough to give him a hard time.

Even so, when Huodao got up from the ground, he had five or six highly penetrating holes in his ribs.

He was careless and didn't pay attention to his footing, which is why he was hit.

Now that we're prepared, we just need to detect anything unusual underground in advance and get out of there.

"Kid, is this your third soul skill? It's certainly insidious, but that's about it!"

Using his soul power to stop the several holes in his body, Fire Blade, who had already obtained the opponent's soul skill, prepared to give one last verbal sparring session before leaving the field.

He had already planned that if his opponent delivered another heavy punch, he would simply slide off the ring.

Having made another attempt, Lin Yu was no longer willing to waste any more time.

"You just said you're willing to fight tooth and nail for a victory, right?"

Upon hearing this again, Huodao realized something was amiss and did not respond.

"Hey kid, take this!"

Because of his severe injuries, Huo Dao didn't even use his soul skill in this strike, leaving him with numerous openings.

Faced with this fatal blow that was riddled with flaws, Lin Yu gave a helpless, bitter smile.

Lin Yu raised his hand, grabbed the flaming blade that had been swung out, and then pulled it towards himself.

Under Huo Dao's astonished gaze, Lin Yu threw a punch.

However, Lin Yu's attack was not aimed at the chest, but at Huo Dao's chin.

There was a crisp cracking sound.

Huo Dao's jaw was dislocated, and the muscle connecting half of his face to his jaw snapped instantly.

This punch completely stunned Huo Dao.

Before Huodao could react, two iron spikes shot out from the ground again, instantly piercing the soles of his feet.

The intense pain could not be uttered from the dislocated lips; it could only transform into countless large tears welling up in the eyes.

Before Huodao could assess the situation, a demonic whisper rang in his ear.

"Since you're determined to win this match, then your life is mine, and the victory is yours!"

Before Huo Dao could figure out what those words meant, a heavy punch knocked him to the ground.
