Douluo V: Starting with daily check-ins, I'm trying to trick Xiao Wu into becoming my wife.

"All of you, step back!"

"Just sit tight, have your food and drinks ready, and enjoy the show while you wait to applaud!"

Ao Yin raised his hand and waved it, his tone indifferent yet carrying an undeniable...domineering air!

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.

"Is Brother Ao... trying to pull off a 'Bo Yi' act?"

Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu all stopped in their tracks, exchanged glances, their eyes filled with shock, and their hearts churning with turbulent emotions.

Has Ao Yin completely stopped taking the Five-Ring Soul King seriously?

That's a teaching instructor from Canghui Academy, a genuine Soul King level 50+ expert!

Looking across the entire city of Soto, they are all prominent figures!

What kind of terrifying surge in strength could have enabled him to utter such extremely arrogant words?!

Everyone looked solemn and deeply shocked, staring intently at the two people facing off in the arena, even unconsciously holding their breath.

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhi Qiu's face turned ashen, and his anger exploded!

That's incredibly arrogant and boastful!

That's utterly arrogant and ignorant!

He had lived for decades and was a dignified five-ring Soul King, yet he was so disrespected and scorned by a teenager!

This is a blatant insult!

Ye Zhi Qiu's eyes flashed with fierce intent, and he roared out:

"You brat!"

No matter how extraordinary your talent is, if your foundation is not yet solid and your wings are not yet fully grown, you should keep a low profile!

"A mere Soul Master dares to defy his superiors?"

"Soul Master and Soul King, a difference of two entire Soul Rings! Today, I'll show you what true strength is!"

His angry shout echoed so loudly that the surrounding tables and chairs trembled slightly!

hum!

Before he finished speaking, Ye Zhi Qiu's soul power surged wildly and rapidly condensed!

Water-based soul power, carrying a bone-chilling cold, suddenly erupted, instantly cooling the air and sweeping across the entire area with a biting icy aura!

"Mystic Ice—Appear!"

The immense water-based soul power converged into a thick, bone-chilling giant ice pillar, carrying an overwhelming force and accompanied by a biting wind, and rushed straight towards Ao Yin to suppress him!

Freeze everything, lock away all escape routes!

"Second Soul Skill - Mystic Water Ice Seal!"

Click!

Water splashed up instantly beneath Ao Yin's feet, and the water froze and spread rapidly at an astonishing speed visible to the naked eye the moment it hit the ground.

The cold, hard ice layer rapidly climbed upwards and closed in, instantly forming a sealed ice prison, attempting to imprison Ao Yin within it, completely freezing him and rendering him unable to move!

The surrounding air was frozen, and the cold was biting. Even ordinary soul masters standing next to it couldn't help but tremble.

In Ye Zhi Qiu's view, even a Soul Master would have no chance of escaping this ice seal!

However, Ao Yin remained calm, his eyes indifferent, and a cold, extremely contemptuous smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"You dare to show off your meager skills in front of me?"

"First Soul Skill - Crimson Tide!"

Empty, empty, empty—(onomatopoeia)!!!

The scorching hot Nanming Fire suddenly erupted!

Extremely hot crimson flames swept across, and the terrifying heat instantly tore through the bone-chilling ice!

Snap—Bang!

The solid, thick ice cage, like fragile thin glass, shattered and broke into countless ice shards that flew everywhere!

not only that!

The crimson flames that shattered the ice surged forth, and a crimson tide spread beneath Ye Zhi Qiu's feet!

At the same time, a murderous intent instantly enveloped him!

Ye Zhi Qiu's pupils dilated suddenly. "How is this possible?!"

"My Xuanbing technique couldn't even trap a mere Soul Master?!"

"Furthermore, the killing intent within this crimson tide can actually materialize, suppressing my strength!"

He had roamed the world of Soul Masters for many years and had seen countless geniuses, but he had never seen a young Soul Master who possessed such a terrifying and extremely intense killing intent!

Shocked, Ye Zhi Qiu refused to give up and continued to unleash his soul power!

Bang Bang Bang!

Several fierce attacks of profound ice erupted one after another, layer upon layer, densely packed, bombarding Ao Yin from all directions!

However, all the Xuan Shui Frost attacks were instantly burned and exploded by the Nanming Li Fire as soon as they approached within three feet of Ao Yin!

No attack could get even an inch closer, let alone cause any real damage to Ao Yin!

Ao Yin let out a cold snort, his eyes full of mockery.

"My Southern Ming Fire is inherently able to restrain the water and ice systems of the world."

"If we can't even melt the ice formed from these tiny splashes of water, that would be a huge joke!"

With a flick of his wrist, he casually hoisted the heavy, imposing dragon-patterned staff onto his shoulder, his posture both lazy and extremely arrogant, his eyes looking down contemptuously at Ye Zhi Qiu, whose face was grim.

"Old tortoise, is this the strength of a Soul King?"

"That's all the tricks you've got? Not even enough to tickle me!"

"This is pointless. If I keep playing with you, the food and drinks we just served will get completely cold."

"If you know what's good for you, just kneel down and admit defeat!"

Om-!

The moment the words left his mouth, Ao Yin no longer held back!

The level 40 soul power within his body completely boiled and circulated wildly!

The three jet-black, deep ten-thousand-year soul rings beneath him suddenly shone brightly, and the extremely powerful and vast soul power vibrated wildly!

The profound foundation inherent in the three ten-thousand-year-old top-grade soul rings far exceeds the upper limit of soul power that ordinary thousand-year-old or hundred-year-old soul rings can bear!

At this moment, the soul power pressure released by Ao Yin was powerful, heavy, and domineering, and it even faintly surpassed the five-ring soul king Ye Zhi Qiu in front of him!

The terrifying aura silenced the entire room, everyone's heart pounded, and a feeling of suffocation washed over them!

Ye Zhi Qiu's scalp tingled instantly, and the hairs on his body stood on end. An extreme sense of dread swept over him!

Something is wrong!

Something's really wrong!

The boy's soul power foundation and strength were completely inconsistent with the level that a peak level 40 Soul Master should have!

It is even more domineering and terrifying than many ordinary level 50 Soul Kings, and is in no way weaker than myself!

Just what kind of extraordinary genius did he provoke?!

In an instant, Ye Zhi Qiu's original intention to slowly deplete the other party's soul power and then wantonly torture and humiliate him completely vanished!

At this moment, he became even more certain of his guess that the young man in front of him must be from a hidden sect or a top sect!

Only top-tier forces can cultivate such extraordinary geniuses who defy common sense!

"But, too much rigidity leads to breakage!"

His years of experience as a Soul King still left him with a trace of arrogance and wishful thinking.

Most of the prodigies from powerful families are proud, arrogant, and conceited; they will never go all out unless they are in dire straits!

This is his only chance to break the deadlock!

With this thought in mind, Ye Zhi Qiu's eyes suddenly turned fierce, and he decided to unleash his full power without holding back any of his strength!

First Soul Skill: Xuan Turtle Protection!

Second Soul Skill: Mystic Water Ice Seal!

Third Soul Skill: Xuan Shui Rush!

...

hum!hum!hum!

Several soul skills instantly stacked and exploded!

One white, two yellow, and two purple spirit rings flashed alternately beneath his feet, their light surging, instantly elevating his aura by several levels!

With its powerful water-based soul energy and extreme defense and offense, even Ao Yin could clearly sense a... threat!

The mysterious water gathered wildly, layer upon layer, enveloping all directions, and the biting cold swept over once again.
