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

Chapter 546 The Third Awakening of the Innate Secret Technique

"Zhenhua, what do you think?"

Mu Ye turned his gaze to Zhen Hua. Lu Fa was also Zhen Hua's apprentice, so of course, he had to ask for Zhen Hua's opinion before they could spar.

"Young people like us can strengthen their friendship by sparring. Let them have a match," Zhenhua said with a smile, showing his support for the sparring match.

"As for the venue, do you want to fight on the Star Wars Network or in the real world?"

"Let's go to the real world, so my senior brother and I can give it our all," Lu Fa said.

He had tried Star Battle Network before, but the experience wasn't very good. He felt the same way as Nan Fusheng, a feeling of being restricted.

It may not be as restrictive as the original Nan Fusheng felt, but it still exists.

The Star Dou Battle Network is still relatively new and has many shortcomings. The reason why the Battle Network does not allow three-word Battle Armor Masters to participate is not only because it is difficult to scan for combat power above three-word Battle Armor Masters, but also because the Star Dou Pod's capacity is taken into consideration.

When the Star Battle Network was first being promoted, Lu Fa tried it out through the Star Battle Chamber of the Forging Masters Association. However, after using it, he immediately noticed that the temperature of the entire Star Battle Chamber had risen significantly.

It's clear that not only is the Battle Network's capacity limited, but the Star Dou Pod's performance also needs upgrading. According to Lu Fa's estimation, an ordinary Soul Douluo plus a three-word Battle Armor Master is already the limit of the Star Dou Battle Network.

Since the purpose of this exchange is to spar with Aruheng, it would be better to have a real fight. This would also allow him to see the difference between his innate secret technique and that of Aruheng, the true successor.

"Alright, let's not delay. The association also has a special sparring platform here, let's go over there." Zhenhua waved his hand and made the decision immediately.

Because he didn't want too much attention, Zhenhua had people clear out the area around the sparring platform beforehand; otherwise, Zhenhua's arrival alone would have made the place crowded.

Zhenhua pushed open a door and walked in. The spacious hall was filled with pure energy fluctuations, and energy shields rose around it.

"You two get ready first, I'm going to reinforce the energy shield here."

Zhenhua led Muye to the control room and began operating a machine. Lufa and Aruheng's soul power cultivation had reached the Soul Douluo level, and not just any ordinary Soul Douluo.

Both of them cultivate the innate secret techniques of the Body Sect, making them genuine ferocious beasts. Ordinary soul-guided energy shields might not be able to withstand the energy aftershocks of their battle.

On the ring, Lufa and Aruheng each stepped onto the ring first and stood a distance apart.

The two looked at each other from a distance, while Aruheng, who was in the distance, raised his arm and gave Lufa a thumbs up.

Lufa also gave a thumbs-up to Aruheng.

In the control room some distance from the arena, Zhenhua, while maximizing the power of the energy shield, teased Mu Ye, "They're both your disciples, who do you think will win?"

Makino remained silent for a long while before whispering, "Lufa, perhaps."

Zhenhua looked at him with some surprise, "If I'm not mistaken, Aruheng should also be an eight-ring Soul Douluo, and he has even mastered an innate secret technique. Didn't you always brag to me about how awesome your Body Sect's innate secret technique was? How come you're so weak now?"

"Go to hell, who's weak?" Mu Ye glared at Zhen Hua and said, "Of course my Body Sect's innate secret technique is amazing. It can make up for all the deficiencies in bloodline and provides an extreme enhancement to the body."

"With his years of arduous cultivation, and his current level of cultivation, it would be difficult for even me to defeat him in a short time without using my battle armor."

"But Lu Fa is different. Although I can't see the origin of his bloodline potential, I can understand that it is definitely an extremely terrifying bloodline. Moreover, he also cultivates an innate secret technique. Originally, he only wanted to leave a legacy for the Body Sect, but he didn't expect that he could actually cultivate it successfully."

"That terrifying bloodline combined with the power of the innate secret technique—although I haven't actually seen Lu Fa fight, just from the last time I examined his body, I found that his blood and qi were no weaker than Aruheng's."

At this point, Mu Ye suddenly laughed, bursting into laughter, "No matter what, they are all my disciples, and they are all the inheritors of my Body Sect."

Zhenhua didn't speak again. Yes, this was definitely something his old friend should be happy about. After all, the Body Sect had been in decline for so long, and it was rare for inheritors like Aruheng and Lufa to appear. How could he not be happy?

……

"Five, four, three, two, one, begin!" Zhenhua's voice came from the loudspeaker.

Lufa moved almost simultaneously with Aruheng. Aruheng took a step forward with his right foot, his body exploded with a loud bang, and his muscles swelled.

Eight spirit rings appeared: black, black, black, black, black, black, red, red. Having mastered the innate secret technique, Aruheng's body had already developed in a non-human direction, so it was not surprising that he had such a spirit ring configuration.

When Aruheng's muscles exploded, a terrifying and fierce aura rushed towards him from the front. Even though they were hundreds of meters apart, Lu Fa could still feel it.

This senior brother gave him the feeling of being a humanoid ferocious beast. Is this the authentic innate secret technique?

Lu Fa's soul core sensed the pressure from the outside world and increased its beating speed on its own. With each squeeze, it pumped out intense blood and qi fluctuations, causing a layer of white-gold light mist to burst out around his body.

Lu Fa wanted to test Aruheng's progress in his innate secret technique, so he didn't even possess his martial spirit, but just charged towards his opponent.

Lufa stomped his left foot heavily on the ground, instantly increasing his speed. Aruheng did the same.

Their speed comes from absolute strength, not from any inherent talent or ability. Nevertheless, their explosive power in that instant surpasses that of most agility-based Soul Masters of the same level.

The two figures almost instantly overlapped in the center of the arena. Aruheng roared and threw out his right fist. A ball of golden-red light exploded like a cannonball, shocking the entire audience.

Lu Fa felt a wave of intense heat rushing towards him from the front. It wasn't real heat, but rather a terrifying power generated when one's blood and qi were at a certain level of vigor.

So, once one's Qi and blood reach a certain level, one can achieve this level simply by unleashing their own Qi and blood? I'm afraid this senior brother's physical strength is already comparable to that of a 100,000-year-old soul beast.

"But don't underestimate me!"

Faced with this domineering punch, Lu Fa's eyes also revealed a hint of fighting spirit, and he also clenched his fist to meet it.

"boom--"

A deafening roar, like the explosion of a high-level, fixed-position soul-guided cannon, resounded in the center of the arena. Intense golden-red light instantly covered an area with a diameter of over fifty meters in the center of the arena, simultaneously engulfing the figures of Lu Fa and Aruheng.

Immediately afterwards, a figure was sent flying backward from the burst of golden-red light.

Aruheng's body was thrown backwards, crashing into the protective shield before he regained his balance, and then he began to shake his arms.

"Junior brother's physical abilities are terrifyingly high. He didn't even use his martial soul, yet he can still unleash such power."

Because they were fellow disciples, neither side used any soul skills or special abilities in this first clash; it was purely a clash of pure strength.

Aruheng's innate secret technique had already reached the minor completion stage. With just his physical strength, he was already capable of crushing ordinary titled Douluo. However, in the clash just now, he was at a disadvantage. How could this not shock him?

And that feeling!

"Innate secret techniques?!" Aruheng said in surprise. Lufa was also cultivating innate secret techniques.

Because he had been practicing the innate secret technique since childhood, Aruheng could not possibly be mistaken. But didn't his master say that the innate secret technique was extremely difficult to practice?

"Never mind." Aruheng was simple-minded and didn't want to delve into this kind of issue. All he wanted to do now was have a good fight.

Since he successfully cultivated the Innate Secret Technique, no one had ever been able to directly clash with him in terms of pure power! This exhilarating feeling filled him with ecstasy. Even his teachers at the Super Douluo level were unwilling to clash with him in terms of pure power. Now that he finally had an opponent, how could he not be overjoyed?

"interesting."

Aruheng was happy, and Lufa was equally excited. He hadn't experienced such a pure clash of strength in a long time. Thanks to the power of the Behemoth Martial Soul, there were very few opponents that Lufa had encountered so far who could rival him in strength.

Moreover, Lu Fa usually spends his time either cultivating or forging metal, so he inevitably neglects matters of combat. The appearance of this senior brother at this moment inevitably stimulated his fighting spirit.

Of Aruheng's eight spirit rings, the first, second, and third rings lit up simultaneously, causing his body to swell once more, and the golden runes on his body seemed to come alive.

A huge phantom appeared behind him, like an enlarged version of himself, standing a hundred meters tall. An indescribable pressure, like a mountain, pressed down on Lu Fa.

His right hand suddenly rose, and a bizarre scene unfolded. His fist suddenly swelled up, becoming three meters in diameter in the blink of an eye, like a giant hammer, and slammed down on Lu Fa.

The secret method of the body!

Having mastered the innate secret techniques of the Body Sect, every part of Aruheng's body became his weapon, an existence akin to a divine artifact. This was the Body Sect's strongest ability.

"boom--"

Behemoth roared, and Aruheng's entire body trembled violently. This time, it was Lufa's turn to be knocked away, and when he slammed his foot into the ground, he smashed a large crater into it.

"Alright!" Lu Fa roared, unleashing his fighting spirit. His soul core surged violently, and a layer of white-gold light emanated from it.

A towering Behemoth phantom appeared behind him, and the previously suppressed aura instantly surged, launching a counterattack from below. It actually regained its momentum, and even surpassed it.

The next moment, a colossal Behemoth, radiating a platinum-gold aura, soared into the sky.

Aruheng laughed heartily, his body suddenly contracting inward, making him appear as if he were cast in gold, shrinking to only three meters tall. His body then plummeted downwards, heading straight for Lufa.

The secret technique of the original body, the second awakening.

"Boom, boom, boom..." A series of booming sounds rang out in the air. The entire arena shook violently, and intense halos of light erupted at the point of impact.

Zhenhua, standing to the side, was somewhat stunned. Was this really a battle between two Soul Douluos? Even if two Title Douluos were to clash, they might not be able to cause such a massive energy fluctuation, right?

As the light and shadow flickered and the protective shield's halo swayed violently, Lu Fa and Aruheng simultaneously separated to the sides.

"I don't have the ability of a second awakening of innate secret techniques." Lu Fa stared intently at Aruheng.

Although he also cultivated innate secret techniques, perhaps because he was a latecomer to the field, or perhaps because his Behemoth bloodline had already reached its peak, he did not have the ability to awaken a second time, even if he succeeded in cultivating them.

"Senior brother, I'm getting serious." Lu Fa reminded Aruheng on the other side, and then his blood energy surged again, with three black, four red and one orange-gold soul rings appearing.

"Come on." The opponent, Aruheng, had a faint crimson light shining from his body, and his two-word battle armor appeared!

Although Aruheng is already a Soul Douluo, his battle armor is still at the two-word level; otherwise, he would never have been able to participate in the Star Dou Battle Network All-Federation Challenge.

Aruheng's battle armor was blood red with magnificent golden patterns, and its shape looked like an enlarged version of his body's muscles. The face shield on his helmet was shaped like a monster with protruding fangs.

Both were in mid-air, gazing at each other.

The wings brought by Aruheng Battle Armor spread out behind him, like a layer of blood curtain, making him look fierce and imposing.

Looking at Lu Fa opposite him, Aruheng was secretly surprised. Although his junior brother's soul power fluctuations were comparable to his own, his blood and qi power was incredibly terrifying.

Aruheng knew very well that Lufa was not going all out yet, since he hadn't even used his battle armor yet, while Aruheng had used his battle armor first, which was undoubtedly a sign that he was at a disadvantage.

But this is even better; he likes the feeling of every punch landing on his skin.

"Junior brother, I'm going to go all out now, be careful." With a low chuckle, Aruheng's voice reached Lu Fa's ears. Just as Lu Fa was slightly taken aback, a strange sound came from Aruheng.

"Knock knock, knock knock, knock knock!"

Aruheng's chest heaved, his powerful heartbeat echoing across the entire sparring platform. At the same time, hundreds of golden-red rays of light suddenly burst forth from his body.

What is this? The third awakening of the innate secret technique, but what the heck is this heartbeat sound?

Lu Fa was no stranger to Aruheng's performance. The reason why the Innate Secret Technique could be regarded as the strongest inheritance of the Body Sect was because of this third awakening ability: Son of the Sun.

But what is this heartbeat?
