Douluo Amon: I am the Heavenly Venerable of the Dragon King.

Chapter 349 Absolute Suppression

"boom--"

A fierce gust of wind spread outwards from Lu Fa and Dai Yueyan's bodies.

In terms of physique, Lu Fa, who is nearly 1.7 meters tall, is significantly shorter than Dai Yueyan, who is over 3 meters tall. However, in terms of strength, Lu Fa's golden fist is not much inferior to Dai Yueyan's tiger claw.

The moment they collided, both of their bodies were thrown backward with lightning speed. It seemed as if they were evenly matched.

"interesting!"

A glint flashed in Lu Fa's eyes. After retreating, he immediately leaped up again, rushing straight towards Dai Yueyan, his right fist aimed directly at Dai Yueyan's face. He still didn't use his martial spirit; it was pure brute force.

Dai Yueyan was not to be outdone, his tiger claws flashing as he clashed with Lu Fa.

Waves of energy emanated from the point of their collision. Despite Lu Fa not using his martial soul, neither of them gained the upper hand in the clash. They were evenly matched, at least on the surface.

As Dai Yueyan fought, he became increasingly alarmed. In terms of combat experience, he was second to none, having come from the Monster Academy. Moreover, he was very confident in his strength, as he was also a powerful attack-type Soul Master.

Besides the inherent power of the White Tiger Martial Soul, strength is also one of its strengths. Not to mention, he just used three of his Soul Skills to amplify himself.

Even under these circumstances, Dai Yueyan couldn't suppress Lu Fa, even though he hadn't used his martial spirit. Lu Fa was not only powerful and unrestrained, but his combat skills were also in no way inferior to Dai Yueyan's.

What troubled Dai Yueyan even more was the golden light covering his body. Although it looked like a thin layer, its defensive power was even stronger than his White Tiger Protective Barrier.

Every time he clashed with Lufa's iron fist, the immense force would make his tiger claws go numb.

Lu Fa was using an innate secret technique. With the blessing of the Behemoth bloodline, even though he had only just begun to learn the innate secret technique, he already had some resemblance to the Golden Body Arhat realm. This was why Mu Ye sighed, wondering why he hadn't met Lu Fa a few years earlier.

To display such extraordinary phenomena so soon after beginning is something no one in the entire tradition of the original sects who have cultivated innate secret techniques has ever achieved. Lu Fa's miraculous bloodline power and its compatibility with innate secret techniques are simply too high.

On the platform, Fang'er was also watching the battle closely, not wanting to miss a single detail.

"Attention everyone, contestant Dai Yueyan immediately unleashed his strongest amplification soul skill. Generally speaking, a soul master will not have more than two amplification soul skills for the body, but the White Tiger Martial Soul is an exception."

Due to royal reasons, I cannot elaborate further. However, what everyone needs to know is that, amplified by the three major soul skills, the White Tiger Martial Soul's strength, speed, and destructive power have reached an extremely terrifying level.

"Facing a player like Dai Yueyan, Lu Fa was still able to hold his own against him without using his martial spirit. It's truly unimaginable just how rich Lu Fa's blood and qi are."

In the waiting area, Long Yue's brows began to furrow. Even he, facing Dai Yueyan who was amplified by three great soul skills, had to use his martial soul to fight him.

However, Lu Fa didn't even use his martial spirit at this moment. Could such terrifying physical qualities really be possessed by a boy younger than him? Even the description of a humanoid beast is insufficient to describe him.

……

"Bang—" The fierce battle, with fists and claws clashing, continued.

The contest lasted a full minute, and Dai Yueyan gradually sensed something was wrong. Lu Fa's fist was too powerful; even with the Xuan Yu Hand combined with his own tiger claws, he was finding it difficult to withstand and his hands were starting to go numb.

Moreover, Lufa's strength seems to be getting stronger as the fight goes on, making it difficult for him to use Ghostly Steps in such close combat.

That's right, Dai Yueyan is still a member of the Tang Clan. This is not hard to understand, because they purchase weapons of mass destruction from the Tang Clan every year. Therefore, the relationship between the Dai family and the Tang Clan is very close.

Moreover, their three ancestors—Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, and Dai Yuhao—were all members of the Tang Sect. Logically and emotionally, it wasn't wrong for these descendants to join the Tang Sect.

Not only is he a member of the Tang Sect, but the Eight Heavenly Kings of Monster Academy are, as is his sister Dai Yun'er. Furthermore, his father, Emperor Dai Tianling of Xingluo, had previously joined the Tang Sect, but only left after succeeding to the throne.

When the entire nation relocated to the Star Luo Continent, the Tang Clan contributed significantly. As a result, every emperor of the Dai family would join the Tang Clan before officially inheriting the throne, to demonstrate the sincerity of their Star Luo Empire.

Dai Yueyan had already joined the Tang Sect when he awakened his martial soul, so he naturally mastered all kinds of Tang Sect techniques. Even if he left the Tang Sect in the future, he would not have to abandon his martial arts.

However, Dai Yueyan discovered with some despair that even his Xuan Yu Hand combined with the Tiger Claw couldn't withstand Lu Fa's iron fist. He didn't need to look at the Purple Demon Eye; his mental strength wasn't as strong as his little sister's, so it wasn't very effective against Lu Fa. His other unique skills were also not applicable to the current battle.

It can't go on like this!

Dai Yueyan made his decision immediately; Lu Fa's physical abilities were even stronger than he had imagined.

More importantly, he had used three amplification-type soul skills in succession. If the fight continued, he would not be able to compete with Lu Fa, who only used his body, in terms of soul power consumption.

Second Soul Skill: White Tiger Blazing Light Wave!

Dai Yueyan's second soul ring lit up, and he opened his mouth, spitting out a beam of white light straight at Lu Fa's face. The advantage of this soul skill is that it is instantaneous, so it is easy to catch the opponent off guard.

The two sides are so close that even Lu Fa would have a hard time dodging, but he doesn't need to dodge anyway.

Lu Fa's right hand emitted a platinum-gold light, and then he reached out with his claw to grab the White Tiger's Blazing Light Wave.

"Bang!" The energy ball exploded, and Lu Fa's right claw swept towards Dai Yueyan with unstoppable force.

"What?!"

This hardcore scene was completely beyond Dai Yueyan's expectations. His original intention was to force Lu Fa back with the White Tiger Blazing Light Wave, but he did not expect Lu Fa to use such violent means to forcefully break through.

With no other option, Dai Yueyan could only quickly cross her arms in front of her to defend against Lu Fa's fist.

"Bang!" The next moment, Dai Yueyan's body flew backward, then flipped and landed steadily.

drop!drop!drop!

Blood flowed from his crossed hands. Dai Yueyan felt his hands go numb and was horrified. What exactly was that platinum light?

The mere contact with his body forcefully tore through his White Tiger protective barrier, while also leaving wounds on his body, which was already enhanced to the extreme by the three amplification-type soul skills.

The moment they saw Dai Yueyan bleeding, the entire audience erupted in a fierce clamor, and even the commentator, Fang'er, felt a sudden tightness in her chest.

"Lu...Lufa is still hiding something. What exactly is that platinum-gold light? He's never used this ability in previous matches. Could this be the legendary Dark Gold Terror Claw?"

Seeing Lu Fa's aura surge again, Fang'er's voice became somewhat tense. After obtaining some information about Lu Fa from the official Star Luo Empire, she also used her personal channels to obtain some information from the Star Luo Continent's delegations.

Regarding Lu Fa's martial soul, she had naturally obtained some information from the delegation: the Behemoth martial soul? It was suspected to be a variant of the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear martial soul. Apart from that, there was no further information.

Therefore, when she saw the platinum-gold light on Lu Fa's hand, she thought it was the Dark Gold Terror Claw; otherwise, why would it have such strong cutting power?

This young man from Douluo Continent has shown too many incredible things.

It's unimaginable that he could achieve this level without using his Martial Soul. Just how much would his combat power rise if he used his Martial Soul? More importantly, if Dai Yueyan were defeated by such a method, he would truly lose face.

"This can't go on any longer."

Seeing Lu Fa's aura surge again, Dai Yueyan smiled bitterly to himself. Lu Fa's strength was beyond his expectations. Even if it was a bit embarrassing, he had to use his battle armor.

Beams of light shot out from his body, then rebounded upwards, and the pure white armor with black patterns landed on his body, merging with his form.

Judging from the color, his battle armor is somewhat similar to Xie Xie's, but it is much thicker and heavier. The shoulder armor on both sides is shaped like two tiger heads, and the battle armor covers his entire body, even his face.

One-word battle armor! Tiger!

Tiger is the name Dai Yueyan gave to his battle armor. In fact, all the one-word battle armor masters who possess the White Tiger Martial Soul throughout history have given their battle armor the same name.

Wearing the Moon Flame Battle Armor, his aura instantly surged.

In its transformed state, the base of the six-foot tiger claw of the White Tiger Demon God fused upwards with pieces of white metal, gripping the bottom foot or so. The tiger claw itself immediately rippled with a layer of dark golden light and seemed to become somewhat transparent, like crystal.

"Then I'll get serious too."

Seeing that Dai Yueyan had finally used his battle armor, Lu Fa's gaze also began to deepen.

A white light rose from his body, perfectly combining with the innate secret technique that was now in operation. The white and gold light eventually formed a platinum-gold light that covered his body.

Without needing to use his Martial Soul, he simply activated his Behemoth bloodline. With the blessing of the innate secret technique, his combat power increased by several tens of percent. He was about to decide the outcome with a single blow.

I didn't use it before because I was afraid that I might accidentally cut Dai Yueyan into several pieces. Now that he's using his battle armor, he should be able to withstand it.

In a flash, Dai Yueyan charged towards Lu Fa again. With the boost from his battle armor, he was confident he could suppress Lu Fa. If Lu Fa didn't use his martial soul, he would unleash his full power and take him down in one combo.

Seeing the menacing Dai Yueyan, Lu Fa also sprinted towards him, the light on his right claw growing ever brighter.

As the two drew closer, Dai Yueyan unleashed his right tiger claw, sending five piercing blades hurtling towards Lu Fa's chest.

Lu Fa didn't dodge or try to block. His right claw slashed towards Dai Yueyan's chest—the Behemoth Sky-Splitting Claw!

"Trading injury for injury?"

A fierce glint flashed in Dai Yueyan's eyes. Surprisingly, he didn't choose to defend himself, but instead increased the force of his right hand. With his battle armor protecting him, he was confident that his defense was sufficient to withstand Lu Fa's attack.

But Lu Fa was different. He was just a flesh and blood body. He didn't believe that Lu Fa could escape unscathed from his amplified claw attack.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Both men swung their right claws toward each other's chests, creating a loud bang. The force of the blow sent both flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground.

The audience held their breath at the sight, and even Dai Tianling and Enci on the podium stared intently at the scene on the ring.

"Both Lu Fa and Dai Yueyan chose to deliver a full-force attack to each other, and both of their attacks successfully landed on each other. Will this bring this battle to a close?"

Fang'er's voice was tinged with tension as she explained the situation. With the battle having progressed to this point, how could she not see that Dai Yueyan was no match for Lu Fa?

Compared to Dai Yueyan, who had used every trick in the book, Lu Fa still had his martial spirit and even his battle armor unused. In her heart, Fang'er silently prayed that Lu Fa would simply fall.

For someone of Lu Fa's age, achieving such results is already something to be proud of. His passing is actually great news for the Star Luo Empire.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, and Fang'er's prayers ultimately had no effect.

"Did we underestimate our opponent?"

Lu Fa sprang up from the ground with a somersault, looking at his body. Dai Yueyan's tiger claw had just successfully broken through his defenses and slammed heavily into his chest.

His clothes were now torn in the front, revealing his fair skin with faint bloodstains, which quickly disappeared. With the enhancement of his Behemoth bloodline and innate secret techniques, his self-healing ability was not to be underestimated.

"However, I am still better." Lu Fa turned his gaze to Dai Yueyan.

At that moment, Dai Yueyan also flipped over and stood up from the ground, looking at Lu Fa with a fierce expression. Judging from Dai Yueyan's appearance, he did not seem to have suffered any serious injuries, but his aura had dropped sharply.

"I was careless; his right claw was too sharp." Dai Yueyan smiled bitterly to himself.

Although he wasn't seriously injured, his internal energy surged. His battle armor had protected him from the sharp claws, but the force attached to Lu Fa's claw still made him feel unwell. More importantly…

Dai Yueyan glanced at his battle armor, where five deep claw marks remained on the chest armor, the marks left by Lu Fa's attack.

"The core of the battle armor is damaged, and its power has been greatly reduced. It will probably be difficult to defend against the opponent's next attack."

For a battle armor master, the chest armor is generally the core component and the soul of a battle armor set.

Now that Dai Yueyan's battle armor core has been severely damaged, the boost it provides will inevitably decrease. It can be said that at this stage of the battle, the outcome is already decided.

Lu Fa can withstand many hits from Dai Yueyan, but how many hits can Dai Yueyan withstand from Lu Fa?

Seeing the platinum-gold light emanating from Lu Fa's body once again, and his right hand poised to strike, Dai Yueyan's gaze turned heavy, but he did not choose to run away.

As the future crown prince of the Star Luo Empire, even knowing he was doomed to fail, he still had to do it.

Before Lu Fa could launch an attack, Dai Yueyan charged towards him again. He would never admit defeat; even if he fell, he would not disgrace the empire.

"He's a real man."

Lu Fa nodded; Dai Yueyan's refusal to admit defeat was within his expectations. However, the difference in strength would not change because of this.

Its right claw swung down at Dai Yueyan again, and five beams of white-gold light burst forth, enveloping Dai Yueyan's body.

"So he can launch ranged attacks too." A realization dawned on Dai Yueyan's mind. Without the slightest hesitation, he lunged straight at Lu Fa. There was no way to dodge now, but at least he could deliver one more punch to Lu Fa before he fell to the ground.

"boom--"

"stop."

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared in the arena, radiating a dazzling white light. One hand held Dai Yueyan's body, while the other blocked the sharp claw attack.

It was Saint Dragon Douluo Enci. After blocking Lu Fa's attack, his body trembled slightly. The referee of the match was also standing next to him.

When Dai Yueyan stood up, they had already noticed that his battle armor was damaged. Even with the enhancement of his battle armor, he couldn't suppress Lu Fa. Now that his battle armor was damaged, if the fight continued, Dai Yueyan would be seriously injured, or even in danger of losing his life.

Dai Yueyan was, after all, a prince of a country. No matter what, they could not stand by and watch him be seriously injured because of this. So Enci intervened and stopped the fight.

"I concede defeat on behalf of the Fourth Prince in this match."

Enci gave Lufa a deep look. After blocking Lufa's attack, his body actually trembled. This was not because Lufa's attack had hurt him, but because of a natural sense of fear, as if he had been targeted by a top predator in the forest.

"His bloodline power surpasses that of the Holy Dragon of Light." With just this one sentence, Grace made the judgment.

At the same time, a murderous intent rose within him. Lu Fa's age and bloodline power were undoubtedly immense. Moreover, he was a member of the Federation, inherently different from those of the Star Luo Continent. If they became enemies in the future, he would definitely be a huge hidden danger.

As a member of the Star Luo Continent and also Emperor Dai Tianling's teacher, how could he sit idly by and watch such a threat grow? However, Enci quickly suppressed his killing intent.

He couldn't make a move because he could clearly sense that several auras had already locked onto him. He was certain that if he had any ill intentions, they would immediately attack. Two of them even made him feel a little uneasy.

"One should belong to Ao Hongchen, but whose is the other? Is it Cai Yue'er? No, she shouldn't give me that feeling. There are hidden powerhouses in the Douluo Continent delegation this time!"

Enci felt a chill run down her spine, then nodded to the referee and took Dai Yueyan away.

"The winner of this match is Lufa," the referee announced loudly after taking a deep breath.

For a moment, the audience was completely silent, but then a louder uproar soon erupted. They had lost again, and such a crushing defeat at that, with their opponent not even using their martial spirit.

Lufa ignored the commotion and calmly left the competition venue.
