Douluo Continent III Haotian Wulin

Xie Xie suddenly flipped backward in mid-air, narrowly avoiding Guanglong's punch.

The next instant, a fierce aura, even stronger than before, suddenly exploded from the light dragon's body.

Two spirit rings rose from beneath his feet.

One white, one yellow.

Great Soul Master!

The three of them changed their expressions at the same time.

They weren't unfamiliar with sparring against stronger opponents; Wu Changkong used them as punching bags every day. But those were teachers, special training, and the pressure of knowing they wouldn't actually get hurt. This bald man in front of them was different; he was ruthless and dirty, and in a fit of rage, he could truly injure someone.

On either side of Guanglong's shoulder, a small spirit appeared. One was a yellowish-brown lizard, and the other was an iron-gray lizard, the latter being noticeably larger. As the spirit rings lit up, his body also swelled up, his muscles bulged, and the iron-gray layer on his skin became more pronounced. Fine scales even appeared on his neck and back, making him look as if he were covered in a hard shell.

"So you little brats are all Soul Masters too." Guanglong grinned, but his eyes grew even more sinister. "No wonder you dared to meddle in my business. Very well, I'll teach you a lesson today."

As soon as he finished speaking, he stomped his right foot on the ground and charged straight at Tang Wulin like a smashing iron beast.

"Wu Lin, watch out!" Gu Yue shouted in a low voice.

She raised both hands almost simultaneously, the wind element swirling towards the light dragon's lower body first, attempting to shift his center of gravity, followed by the earth element collapsing, trying to drag his feet into a mud pit. However, after releasing his martial spirit, the light dragon's physical strength had clearly reached an astonishing level; his legs only slightly sank, and he forcefully pulled himself out of the newly formed mud pit. Then, several fire blades and ice shards landed on him, only causing him to pause slightly, without actually injuring him.

This guy's martial spirit is clearly extraordinary.

Moreover, he wasn't just a simple level 20. Judging from the oppressive soul power he exuded, he was definitely not just level 21 or 22. Tang Wulin's heart sank, and he immediately realized that this person was at least level 25 or higher.

Armored Dragon.

This is a rather practical subspecies of earth dragon, excelling in both strength and defense. The light dragon itself is also an extremely strong adult male; when the two are combined, the oppressive feeling when they charge head-on is astonishing.

Xie Xie had already circled behind him, and with a flick of his wrist, he slashed at Xie Xie's back without hesitation with the Light Dragon Dagger.

But when the dagger slashed down, it only left a few white marks and failed to break through the defense at all.

Xie Xie felt a chill run down his spine.

This guy is tougher than they expected.

Despite being outnumbered three to one, Guanglong completely overwhelmed all three of them in terms of both momentum and physical strength.

But at that moment, Tang Wulin calmed down completely.

No refunds.

With this retreat, Gu Yue behind him would be directly exposed to the light dragon. He remembered Wu Changkong's words from the past few months very clearly—in the three-person teamwork, his most important task was to hold the line head-on.

Thinking of this, he did not hesitate at all, and with a clench of his right hand, the Sinking Star Hammer instantly appeared.

The moment he got his hands on the gray hammer, his aura immediately became more stable.

Instead of retreating, he charged forward, heading straight for the dragon of light.

The Sinking Star Hammer was swung upwards, aiming straight for the opponent's center. Light Dragon grinned maliciously and brought his right fist down.

"boom--"

The impact of their fists colliding caused many onlookers to gasp and retreat. The muffled thud felt like it exploded right next to their bones. Tang Wulin felt his entire arm go numb, and a tightness in his chest. He stumbled back seven or eight steps before barely managing to regain his footing.

Good weight!

After releasing its martial spirit, the light dragon's power increased to another level.

Xie Xie closed in again from behind, his Light Dragon Dagger stabbing rapidly along the back. Seeing that it wouldn't penetrate, he immediately changed his aim, slashing at the neck and armpits—relatively vulnerable spots. But Light Dragon didn't bother to turn around, letting him attack. The dagger struck again and again, leaving only shallow white marks, never managing to pierce that armor-like skin.

Gu Yue's face darkened.

She held her hands out to the sides, one hand holding fire and the other wind. The two elements rapidly compressed and coiled in her palms. In the next instant, a small vortex of interwoven blue and red roared out and swept straight towards the chest of the light dragon.

The wind fanned the flames, and the fire was fueled by the wind.

This is already one of her most mature combinations of elements.

The moment the vortex slammed into the light dragon, it tore through its body with a series of ear-piercing scraping sounds. Fine cracks appeared on its iron-gray skin as heat and wind blades crisscrossed and cut, finally causing the light dragon to pause for a moment.

"roar--"

Guanglong pounded his chest, and his second spirit ring suddenly lit up.

The next moment, the iron-gray layer on his body suddenly shone with a cold, hard silver light, his eyes seemed to be coated with a thin layer of silver, his body swelled up again, his arms became thicker, and sharp claws several inches long sprang out from the tips of his fingers.

Second Soul Skill: Ironclad Dragon Body!

His aura surged at that moment, and his soul power fluctuations were fully unleashed, causing Tang Wulin and the other two to feel a heaviness in their chests.

Level 27!

Gu Yue's vortex of wind and fire was shattered almost instantly by him.

At that very moment, Tang Wulin made his decision.

Since we can't avoid it, let's fight it hard.

He took a deep breath, gripped the Heavy Star Hammer tightly with both hands, and suddenly thrust forward with all his might. The center of gravity, footwork, and hammer technique that Wu Changkong had repeatedly corrected over the past two months were now used almost entirely on instinct.

Guanglong roared and slapped down with his palm.

Tang Wulin used his Sinking Star Hammer to block.

"Bang!"

With that slap, Tang Wulin was sent flying backward, his back slamming hard against the wall of the stuffy beef shop. He felt a sweet taste in his throat and a burning pain in his chest.

"Wu Lin!"

Gu Yue exclaimed in surprise as a burst of intense light exploded in front of Guanglong, startling him.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xie Xie attacked from the front, his two daggers flashing, one hidden, targeting the dragon's eyes, throat, and joints. But the dragon was now completely enraged, its arms suddenly outstretched, ignoring Xie Xie's attacks and lunging straight at Gu Yue.

In his eyes, Gu Yue, who constantly interfered with him using elements, was obviously more annoying.

Gu Yue's eyes narrowed, and the earth element in front of him immediately solidified into an earthen wall.

But the earthen wall only blocked for a moment before being smashed to pieces by the light dragon.

Of course she can withdraw.

As long as the spatial elements move, she has a good chance to move out horizontally.

But she didn't.

Because she knew very well that if she retreated, Tang Wulin would be right behind her.

Just then, she felt a tightening around her waist.

A strong arm suddenly grabbed her waist and forcefully pulled her away from where she was. In the next instant, she was thrown to the side and back, while Tang Wulin was standing in front of her again.

His chest was still heaving, and his face was a little pale, but his hand holding the Sinking Star Hammer was very steady.

"Let me handle the front."
