Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 405 The Spirit Hall's Elder is a Weakling

Ye Liangchen glanced at the old guys, including Golden Crocodile Douluo, and found that none of them had obtained a divine inheritance. Logically speaking, these old guys were all over level 96, with Golden Crocodile and Azure Phoenix at the top, one at level 98 and the other at level 97, their strength was not low either! Why didn't any god take notice of them?

Could it be because of their identities? It seems that none of the seven guardians of the Seagod Island have received divine succession.

Thinking about this, Ye Liangchen felt it must be because of their identities. Qian Daoliu and his group were the guardians of the Angel God and worshipped the Angel God, while Hailong Douluo and his group were the guardians of the Seven Sacred Pillars of the Sea God and worshipped the Sea God. Therefore, the gods would definitely not pass on their divine positions to the guardians of these two great gods.

"Your soul power seems to have reached level 99 now?"

Qian Daoliu sensed Ye Liangchen's soul power aura and was immediately startled. He had previously thought that Ye Liangchen was at most level 97 or 98, but he did not expect that he was already at the same level as himself.

"That's right, I'm also level 99 now," Ye Liangchen nodded.

"What?"

"Young Master Ye has actually reached level 99? How is that possible?"

Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others almost popped their eyes out. When they heard that Shui Yue'er had reached level 97, they were already questioning their lives. Now that Ye Liangchen had actually become a demigod, it was simply a miracle!

"Why is it impossible? Even Jin Yue'er and the others can become Soul Douluo, so it makes perfect sense for Xiao Chen to reach the level of a demigod."

Bibi Dong looked at the incredulous expressions on the faces of the old men and understood their feelings. After all, when Ye Liangchen went to Seagod Island, he was not even a Soul Saint. In just a few years, he had reached the peak of the Soul Master world, which was really unbelievable.

"Little Chen, is this what you meant by cheating? This has truly broadened my horizons."

Qian Renxue reached out and rubbed Ye Liangchen's face, feeling a little sour. She used to think that she could bully him after passing the Divine Test and becoming stronger, but now it seemed that she had been thinking too much.

Fortunately, she could bully him in another way. Thinking of this, Qian Renxue's lips curled up slightly, and she felt at peace.

"Great Elder, I've heard you're an invincible expert in the heavens. How about you have a go at Xiao Chen's hands?"

Bibi Dong looked at Qian Daoliu and encouraged the old man to challenge Ye Liangchen, so that she could see the old man get beaten up.

Bibi Dong suffered a lot when this old man targeted her back then. Although she has let go of her hatred now, seeing Qian Daoliu get beaten up is still quite interesting.

Bibi Dong did not reveal that Ye Liangchen had defeated Poseidon, lest Qian Daoliu find out and immediately back down, which would prevent her from watching the show.

"Alright, then I'll have to see for myself."

Qian Daoliu also wanted to see just how strong Ye Liangchen, this newly promoted demigod, really was.

"Grandpas, do you dare to fight little Chen?"

Qian Renxue looked at Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others with a smile. She had suffered a lot when challenging these old men during the fifth trial. Now, letting the little guy beat them up would be a way for her to vent her anger.

"Then we must see Young Master Ye's strength."

"The six of us working together can fight the Grand Elder. No matter how powerful Young Master Ye is, he only has two hands."

Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others were also eager to fight. They felt that Ye Liangchen had only just reached level 99 and was definitely not as powerful as a veteran demigod like Qian Daoliu. Moreover, the two brothers, Jiangmo and Qianjun, had a martial soul fusion skill, making them invincible below the level of gods. The advantage was in their hands.

"Seniors, do you really want to have a match with me?"

Ye Liangchen really didn't want to fight these old guys. If he made a move, they would be forced to their knees, or even seriously injured.

"Little Chen, come on! I'm almost level 100, and my strength is still pretty good, so feel free to attack!"

Qian Daoliu said he could handle it and told Ye Liangchen to bring it on.

"Alright then! We need to fight in the middle of nowhere. We can't fight freely here, and it wouldn't be good if we damaged the buildings."

Space travel

Ye Liangchen summoned his martial spirit and activated the Space Dragon King skill, preparing to take everyone to the desolate wilderness ten thousand meters away.

"Sizzle..."

As a green-gold soul ring lit up on Ye Liangchen's body, a spatial passage appeared in front of everyone in an instant.

"Ah...! Is this a spatial passage?"

Qian Daoliu and his group were stunned when they saw the spatial passage in front of them. They never expected that this little guy would have such a powerful soul skill.

"Whoosh..."

With a wave of his hand, Ye Liangchen led the stunned crowd into the spatial passage.

"Sizzle..."

The next moment, a spatial passage suddenly appeared in a valley ten thousand meters away, and Ye Liangchen and his group jumped down from it.

"Little Chen, is this a million-year soul skill? It's incredibly powerful."

Qian Renxue was incredibly excited to witness the power of a million-year soul skill. Her face lit up with a lovesick expression as she stared intently at Ye Liangchen, her eyes sparkling with admiration.

"Sister Xue, calm down."

Ye Liangchen reminded Qian Renxue, thinking: Your grandfather and these old men are all here, can't you be a little more reserved? How can you be so infatuated?

"Bibi Dong, did you do this on purpose?"

When Qian Daoliu saw that Ye Liangchen possessed such a powerful million-year soul skill, he thought: Bibi Dong must be taking revenge on me, and her goal is to get this monster Ye Liangchen to beat me up.

Qian Daoliu had already boasted before, and if he didn't dare to accept the challenge now, he would definitely be ridiculed by Bibi Dong again, and his own granddaughter would also say that he was a coward.

"You insisted on hitting me? Now you're blaming me?"

"So, Grand Master, you're backing down already?"

Bibi Dong felt particularly pleased to see Qian Daoliu's cowardly appearance.

"Seniors, if you're afraid, then we'll stop the competition and head straight to the City of Slaughter."

Ye Liangchen smiled calmly. These old guys had been eager to test their skills against him, but now he had only revealed a million-year soul skill, and he had already scared them away.

"Of course we're going to fight, but you better show us your spirit rings!"

Qian Daoliu still hasn't seen Ye Liangchen's current soul rings, so he doesn't know what combination they are.

"Whoosh..."

Ye Liangchen spread his hands, and nine spirit rings rose slowly from the left and right sides. The 18 colorful spirit rings flashed and shone brilliantly.

"Platinum, green gold, gray gold, red gold, blue gold... these must all be million-year spirit rings!"

Qian Renxue counted them and found that Ye Liangchen had a total of nine golden soul rings of different colors, which were dazzling. Her own nine soul rings, seven black and two red, were simply trash in front of this little guy's soul rings.

Currently, Ye Liangchen only has three black spirit rings, namely the second, third, and fourth spirit rings of the Goddess Martial Soul. After being blessed by the divine test rewards, these spirit rings are at least over 5 years old. The rest are either red or gold.

"Uh...! Brother, we think you should fight Young Master Ye this time!"

When Jin'e, Qingluan, and the others saw Ye Liangchen's impressive array of spirit rings, they immediately backed down and instead urged Qian Daoliu to step forward. After all, this old guy was also a demigod, not much weaker than Ye Liangchen.

"Haha...! If you don't dare to fight, then go back. We'll take Xiaoxue to complete the seventh trial first. But the title of 'coward' for the servants will probably spread throughout the Spirit Hall."

Seeing that the old guys had cowered, Bibi Dong burst into laughter, saying, "You used to bully me, now you know how to be scared!"

"Hmph! Bibi Dong, don't look down on us. Who said we wouldn't dare fight Young Master Ye?"

Bibi Dong's provocation immediately angered the old men, who insisted on fighting even if they lost.

"Seniors, I once challenged the seven guardians of the Seagod Island. They were all Super Douluo, with the Sea Dragon Douluo reaching level 97. We had a very enjoyable battle."

"You seniors have been in the Temple of Angels for decades. If you don't have a good fight soon, your bodies will probably start to rust."

"Alright then! I won't take advantage of your low soul power. I'll give you some support first. I have a super support skill that can increase all your attributes by 110%."

Second Soul Skill: Blessing of Life.

Ye Liangchen used the Seven Sacred Pillars Guardians of Poseidon Island to provoke these old guys, and then gave them a super boost to ignite their fighting spirit.

"Well…!"

Qian Daoliu was stunned. This kid was too good at playing games, actually giving the opponent support?

"Ha ha…!"

Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue were laughing their heads off. The little guy's move was absolutely devastating!

"Haha...! This feels so good, I feel like I can fight against demigods now."

"Yeah yeah……"

Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others didn't care about anything. Anyway, they couldn't beat Ye Liangchen, so they took this opportunity to fight with all their might. Otherwise, just as this monstrous young man said, their bodies would soon rust.

"roar…"

"roar…"

"Chirp..."

"Huff huff..."

"Whoosh..."

The titled Douluo Jin'e, Jinshi, Qingluan, Guangling, Qianjun, and Jiangmo received Ye Liangchen's super assistance, and felt their strength instantly multiply several times. So they all revealed their martial souls and prepared to challenge Ye Liangchen.

Apart from Golden Crocodile Douluo, who has a 100,000-year spirit ring, the other titled Douluos all have standard spirit ring combinations.

"Xiao Chen, you need to be careful."

"My second grandfather's soul power is at its peak at level 98, second only to my grandfather. My third and fourth grandfathers' soul power is also at level 97, and the remaining three grandfathers' soul power is at its peak at level 96."

Qian Renxue introduced the soul power levels of the major enshrined figures to Ye Liangchen, and then flew a few hundred meters away with Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu to watch the show.

"Esteemed seniors, I'm making my move."

"Three Thousand Feather Slayers".

Ye Liangchen's second red soul ring lit up as he unleashed the group attack skill of the 100,000-year-old White-headed Sea Eagle King.

"Swish..."

In an instant, a dense rain of swords shot towards Old Man Golden Crocodile and his companions.

Ye Liangchen's soul power has now reached level 99, and the power of his 100,000-year soul skill is even greater than before.

"A multi-target soul skill that lasts for 100,000 years?"

"roar…"

"Golden Crocodile Tail Swing"

"A single blow can crush a thousand pounds"

"The Roar of the Golden Lion"

"Ten Thousand Feathers Piercing the Heart"

"..."

"Bang bang..."

Seeing the rain of swords raining down on them, the six elders unleashed their respective soul skills, some defending, some attacking. In an instant, dust flew and rocks scattered, turning the entire valley into a chaotic mess, a truly intense scene.

"Swish..."

"Plum blossoms fill the sky...three thousand petals fall..."

Ye Liangchen did not use his million-year soul skill. Instead, he held the Chun Jun Sword, stepped on the Five Elements Bewildering Step, and used the Ten Thousand Plum Blossoms Welcoming the Wind Sword Technique to deal with the old men.

To be honest, the spirit hall's retainers have high spirit power, but none of them have created their own spirit skills. It feels like these old guys are just wasting their time.

"Swish..."

At this moment, Ye Liangchen moved like a dragon, his Chun Jun sword transforming into countless sword flowers, leaving the old men overwhelmed.

"What profound movement techniques, what exquisite sword moves! In front of this kid, Jian Daochen's swordsmanship is just child's play."

Qian Daoliu watched Ye Liangchen's dazzling sword moves and couldn't help but nod in praise. This little guy's strength was beyond his imagination!

"It looks like little Chen is relieving himself?"

Qian Renxue saw that Ye Liangchen was strolling around leisurely, not using his full strength at all, but just playing around.

"If he used his full strength, those old men would be dead."

Bibi Dong chuckled, her eyes fixed on Ye Liangchen's exquisite sword moves, which was a visual treat.

"Grandpa, do you still dare to fight with Xiaochen?"

Qian Renxue encouraged her grandfather to challenge her young boyfriend and see how many moves he could withstand.

"Fight! We must fight!"

Qian Daoliu nodded. He had already made his decision, and it would be a huge loss of face if he didn't dare to accept the challenge now!

"Ten Thousand Plum Blossoms Welcoming the Wind"

"Huff huff..."

Just then, Ye Liangchen activated the power of ice element within his body and swung his sword with all his might. In an instant, the temperature of the entire valley plummeted, and countless snowflakes fell from the sky, like plum blossoms. In just a few breaths, the six great elders were frozen into a large block of ice.

"roar…"

"Golden Crocodile Devours the Sky"

"The Golden Lion Roars to the Nine Heavens"

"A blow to the sky..."

"Azure Feather Whirlwind Kill"

"I also wield ice, Young Master Ye. Your trick is ineffective against me. Break... crack!"

"Bang bang... Crack..."

The biting cold almost froze the blood of the old men. In the critical moment, they all activated their ninth soul skills, shattering the ice.

"Soul Fusion Skill"

"Coiling Dragon Combination Strike Technique... Heaven-Shattering Strike"

At this moment, Qianjun and the two old men, Jiangmo, quickly unleashed their Martial Soul Fusion Technique.

"Huff huff..."

A huge, coiled dragon staff came crashing down on Ye Liangchen.

The fusion of Qianjun and Jiangmo's martial spirits is enough to fight Qiandaoliu. At this moment, the two brothers are very confident and feel that this move can defeat Ye Liangchen.

"Turning the Sea Seal"

"Buzz..."

Faced with the overwhelming force of the blow, Ye Liangchen conjured a golden disc-shaped seal over a hundred meters in size and slammed it towards the six elders.

"Boom... Ahh..."

When the Sea-Turning Seal collided with the soul skills of the old men, a loud bang was heard. The powerful aftershocks sent the old men flying hundreds of meters away, where they lay on the ground, spitting out blood.

"What kind of skill is this? How can it be so powerful?"

"If Young Master Ye had used this move before, we would have been defeated instantly."

The elders were now completely convinced of their defeat. Ye Liangchen, this prodigy, had defeated them all in a single move, demonstrating a strength far greater than Qian Daoliu's.

"Swish..."

"Grandpas, are you all alright?"

Qian Renxue flew over and helped the old men up.

"Cough...! Xiaoxue, we're alright, just a few minor injuries."

The senior priests were flushed with embarrassment at their quick defeat.

"Life is restored"

Ye Liangchen summoned his first martial soul and used his fifth soul skill to heal the old men.

"Xiao Chen, what skill was that golden seal you just unleashed?"

Qian Daoliu recalled Ye Liangchen's previous move and felt that it was stronger than his own Angel Descent ultimate move.

"The 'Turning Sea Seal,' as the name suggests, has the power to overturn rivers and seas. It's a divine skill I developed a couple of years ago," Ye Liangchen explained.

"A self-created divine skill?"

Qian Daoliu and the other top retainers all gasped in astonishment. Indeed, a prodigy cannot be judged by ordinary standards.

"Senior, I used a million-year soul skill; that would be bullying you."

"A couple of years ago, I mastered a divine skill called Sonic Wave Technique. It's quite powerful. Would you be interested in seeing it, senior?"

Ye Liangchen decided not to use his million-year soul skill to bully Qian Daoliu anymore, so he took out a flute from his soul tool and prepared to use his sonic attack to fight the old man.

"Sonic power? What kind of skill is that?"

Qian Renxue was completely dumbfounded when she saw Ye Liangchen take out a bamboo flute.

"Sound wave kung fu, as the name suggests, is using sound as a weapon."

"My sonic attack possesses both mental and physical offensive capabilities; you could even call it a divine skill!"

Ye Liangchen slowly explained the sonic power to broaden everyone's knowledge.

"You can attack enemies without using your martial spirit, just by playing the flute?"

"This can truly be called a divine skill."

Everyone was puzzled as to how Ye Liangchen could create such a miraculous skill.

"Xiao Chen, I'd like to try out the power of your sonic attack too."

Bibi Dong had long wanted to experience Ye Liangchen's sonic power. Once she learned this divine skill, she could kill enemies elegantly, and just thinking about it made her feel very excited.

"You should all try it out!"

"My 'Song of the Azure Sea' is a powerful area-of-effect attack. The sound of this song can attack your mind, and the sound waves can also turn into sharp blades to attack your body. Everyone must do their best to resist."

Ye Liangchen activated his Wind and Thunder Wings and flew into the air, activating his sonic power to play the "Blue Sea Tide Song".

"Tick-tock...tick-tock..."

In an instant, a passionate and soaring flute melody rang out.

"Swish...bang bang"

Waves of sound transformed into sharp blades, relentlessly slashing at the crowd, cutting down tree branches and shattering rocks throughout the valley.

Especially the high-pitched and stirring flute music, which was like a demonic sound, made everyone feel as if they were on an endless sea, with towering waves crashing towards them, making everyone's heads buzz.

"True Martial Soul Form..."

"Clang clang..."

Everyone immediately unleashed their Martial Soul True Forms to resist the sonic attacks from all directions, but how could they possibly withstand the combined mental and physical attacks?

"Ahhh..."

After a dozen or so breaths, Qian Renxue, Jiangmo, Qianjun, and Guangling, who were among the weaker ones, were the first to give in, clutching their heads and screaming in agony, spitting blood from their mouths and noses.

"Angelic Light".

Qian Daoliu shouted loudly, and the red soul ring on his body lit up, bursting out with golden light that enveloped everyone.

"Clang clang..."

Meanwhile, Ye Liangchen's sonic waves transformed into sharp blades that continuously struck the protective shield, producing a crisp metallic sound before cracks began to appear.

"Xiao Chen, that's enough."

Bibi Dong immediately shouted at Ye Liangchen, signaling him to stop, otherwise everyone's souls might suffer serious damage.

Ye Liangchen finished his practice and saw Qian Renxue and the other elders coughing up blood, which he found rather pitiful.

"Holy Light Healing Technique"

He immediately summoned the Goddess of Life Martial Soul and activated its healing skill to restore everyone's health.

"Buzzing..."

Under the healing spell of Holy Light, the wounds to everyone's souls were quickly healed, leaving them feeling warm and incredibly comfortable.
