Douluo Continent: My True Form Descends, My Physical Body Achieves Sainthood

Lu Chen's fingers, like gentle flowing water, lightly brushed along the inside of Wu Gang's forearm.

With just a slight turn and a slight movement, Wu Gang felt an irresistible force coming towards him.

His initial charge, which he had poured all his strength into, was forcibly deflected by Lu Chen's skillful use of "using four ounces to deflect a thousand pounds"!

"What?!"

Wu Gang's eyes bulged as he watched helplessly as his powerful punch grazed past Lu Chen's afterimage.

The inertia caused him to lose all control of his body and fall forward without any warning.

His back and flanks were completely exposed to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen's eyes turned icy instantly, and his offensive abruptly changed.

If the previous defense was a gentle stream, the current counterattack is a roaring torrent.

Taking advantage of Wu Gang's momentum, he grabbed the other's tiger's mouth and suddenly turned his body around his spine.

The two fists followed like a shadow, turning into a sky full of afterimages the moment Wu Gang lost his balance.

The raindrops pelted down on the opponent's chest, abdomen, and joints.

Each punch landed without any outward pushing force.

Instead, it forcibly infuses Wu Gang's own impact force and Lu Chen's power into his body through vibration.

"Snap!"

The sickening cracking of bones rang out one after another.

Wu Gang's prized Ironclad Soul Power layer shattered like fragile porcelain under this series of wave-like impacts.

Lu Chen strode into Wu Gang's arms, his right fist suddenly springing up from his waist.

It unleashed tremendous power within a distance of less than three inches.

In that instant, it was as if the air had been sucked out.

"Thump!!"

A muffled, loud bang echoed through the silent arena.

Wu Gang's 200-pound body felt as if it had been struck head-on by a heavy hammer.

His chest had mysteriously caved in, and his internal bones were breaking apart inch by inch.

He spun around and soared into the air, tracing a horrific parabola.

Accompanied by a spray of blood mist, it slammed heavily onto the defensive barrier fifty meters away.

Then it slid down softly and without a sound.

quiet!

Deathly silence!

The host, Lele, gaped, her pretty face filled with shock.

All of this happened too fast.

The fight between the two lasted less than ten breaths.

"What exquisite combat skills!"

Poison Undying's emerald eyes shone brightly, and he suddenly stood up, his voice filled with barely suppressed excitement:

"It's not simply about using softness to overcome hardness, but about using the physical body to sense the flow of the opponent's force in advance, guiding and disintegrating it, and then returning it back in double the amount!"

This kind of counter-attack technique, using the opponent's force against them, is something I've never seen before.

Poison Undying understood the basic attack method of the Flowing Rock Shattering Fist with just one glance.

But that's precisely why he was even more amazed.

"If I were to use this battle technique, I could definitely fight a 99 Extreme Limit Douluo for hundreds of rounds!"

Princess Vina sat on the edge of the sofa, her beautiful silver-gray eyes fixed on Lu Chen's back.

In her mental vision, Lu Chen's actions just now were not wasted in the slightest.

Every bit of strength used was perfectly coordinated.

"What terrifying talent!"

She parted her lips slightly, her eyes revealing keen interest.

On the arena, Lu Chen slowly withdrew from his stance, let out a long breath, and the pale blue aura around him quietly dissipated.

He looked at the corpse in the distance, his eyes still calm.

He had grown accustomed to death.

At this moment, the referee seemed to wake from a dream and announced in a trembling voice:

"The winner of the second life-or-death battle is—Lu Chen!"

The next second, the entire audience erupted in thunderous applause and cheers.

Tang Ya was frantically waving her betting slip in the private room, her screams almost lifting the roof off:

"Lu Chen! We won! Gold Soul Coins! My Gold Soul Coins are here!"

Bei Yuxuan closed his folding fan, his face filled with excitement. "Brother Lu's strength has exceeded my expectations. He truly deserves to be called a genius of the Body Sect!"

Behind him, Old Chen nodded slightly, his eyes full of amazement, "Using softness to overcome hardness, a very wonderful combat technique."

Meanwhile, in another private room.

"asshole!"

Luo Du crushed the wine glass in his hand instantly. "My 50 gold soul coins are gone just like that!"

His gaze was fixed on the departing Lu Chen. "Was Wu Gang raised on excrement? He couldn't even defeat a Soul Master!"

"Young Master, that little fellow is quite strong; ordinary Soul Masters are no match for him."

Wang Ou's aged voice rang out from behind at just the right moment, "Moreover... he hasn't released his martial soul yet."

Upon hearing this, Luo Du's forehead veins throbbed slightly.

A pair of sinister eyes suddenly swept towards the girl in black standing to the side.

"Phantom, are you confident you can defeat him?"

Phantom frowned slightly. "The opponent's close combat skills are very strong, I..."

"I don't care what method you use, you must kill him, even if it's by taking a pill."

Luo Du gave Mei Ying no chance to explain.

The phantom's expression changed slightly, but he ultimately nodded respectfully, "Yes, sir!"

……

"Little Chenzi, we're rich!"

As soon as Lu Chen returned to the private room, a figure pounced on him.

Tang Ya hugged his neck tightly, her face filled with barely suppressed excitement, her voice trembling:

"We earned ten gold soul coins in this round! With the reward for winning the match, we now have twenty gold soul coins!"

No wonder all those Soul Masters love coming to the Great Soul Arena; getting rich overnight is just too easy!

Lu Chen shrugged, looking rather helpless: "Sister Xiaoya, you're about to strangle me."

Upon hearing this, Tang Ya immediately released her arms, a smile still lingering on her face.

A fleeting hint of shyness flashed across her eyes.

"Brother Lu, congratulations on your resounding victory." Bei Yuxuan raised his wine glass and smiled in greeting.

"Thanks."

Lu Chen picked up his wine glass and gently clinked it against his.

The competition outside continues in full swing.

Lu Chen sat on the sofa and began to review the battle that had just taken place.

Although the battle was short, he clearly felt the difference between the combat of a Soul Master and a Martial Artist.

Martial artists place more emphasis on techniques and skills, while ordinary soul masters rely heavily on soul skills.

To be honest, Wu Gang's talent is not weak, otherwise his first spirit ring wouldn't have been a hundred-year-old one.

However, his attack methods were too simplistic, relying solely on soul skills to pave the way and then using the characteristics of his martial soul to forcefully confront opponents head-on.

"This fighting style is suitable for regular Soul Masters, but not for their own Martial Soul, and even less suitable for me."

Lu Chen lowered his head and pondered, "I already have three fist techniques as my means of attack, so absorbing more skill-type soul skills doesn't seem to be of much use."

Instead, we should look for soul skills that provide percentage-based enhancements to thoroughly strengthen our physical body.

Skills like Long Aotian's Demonic Ape Transformation, Heaven and Earth Transformation, and Dark Gold Power are all excellent choices.

Alternatively, it could be fused with a soul bone skill similar to [Golden God's Wrath].

Only by altering body shape and diversifying combat methods can the super regeneration property be fully utilized.

After some thought, Lu Chen had a general plan for his future cultivation path.

"Little Chenzi, what are you thinking about? It's almost your turn to go on stage!"

Tang Ya moved closer to him and curiously poked his arm.

Lu Chen was taken aback: "So fast?"

Looking up at the screen, I realized that seven games had already ended.

At this moment, the host Lele's voice, transmitted through the soul tool, resounded throughout the venue, announcing the next match:

"The ninth match, a life-or-death battle! It features 'Burning Bear' Buck, a level 19 Power Attack type Soul Master with ten consecutive wins, against 'Shadow Cat' Phantom, a level 19 Power Attack type Soul Master with six consecutive wins!"

Lu Chen raised an eyebrow and fixed his gaze on the sexy girl in black on the screen.

He had met him before.

Bei Yuxuan's eyes sharpened, and he said in a deep voice, "Brother Lu, this Phantom is the person you bet against."

Her martial soul is the Shadow Cat, which grants her astonishing speed and strength comparable to an ordinary Great Soul Master.

Moreover, her first soul skill is the extremely rare [Etherealization]!
