Douluo: The Glory of the Peerless Angel

Chapter 97 Medusa's Gaze VS The Golden Road, The Sea God's Pavilion Meeting (Part 2)

"Where did that human from the far north get the Ice Jade Scorpion Martial Soul, and even the Ice Jade King Scorpion bloodline?!"

The aura of the Extreme Ice Domain was too obvious, and the Snow Empress in the Sea of ​​Spirit was extremely angry. Ling Bai once said that Huo Yuhao and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm planned to trick the Ice Empress into joining forces to embark on the path of godhood. She could guess that the two must have stolen the bloodline of the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan through some method!

"The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm is an unprecedented million-year-old soul beast, which gave Huo Yuhao a second ice-attribute martial soul without a soul."

The two shared life and death, and Ling Bai revealed all the secrets of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm to Xue Di: "Whatever Huo Yuhao absorbed in his first soul ring, that's the kind of ice-attribute martial soul he will transform into."

They initially hoped their second spirit would be the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, but I casually took its crucial remains over a year ago, causing the Ice Emperor to unexpectedly break free of its mental prison and trigger the Arctic beast tide. They dared not provoke the Ice Emperor, so they resorted to tricking an Ice Jade King Scorpion and taking its spirit ring.

"Sure enough, we should have nipped the problem in the bud last time!"

The Snow Empress's anger affected the Sea of ​​Spirit, and heavy snow fell, covering the blue earth. The Ice Jade King Scorpion, once it grew up, would surely break through 100,000 years of cultivation. It was not a pipe dream for those with strong bloodlines to break through the second or third tribulation; the Ice Empress was a living example.

The tribulations of the three great beasts, Ice Emperor, Titan Snow Demon King, and Ice Bear King, will descend one after another within ten thousand years. Their chances of surviving the tribulations are extremely slim, with the highest chance being only thirty percent for Titan Snow Demon King. If he and Ling Bai fail to ascend to godhood, the far north will have to rely on top-tier soul beasts like the Ice Jade King Scorpion for protection. Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's actions are a backup plan for the far north!

Moreover, the answer to where Huo Yuhao obtained the other eight spirit rings of his Ice Jade Scorpion spirit is obvious: the far north, the gathering place of the world's number one ice-attribute spirit beasts!

The thought of eight more powerful northern spirit beasts dying at Huo Yuhao's hands filled the Snow Empress with anxiety, and she said in a deep voice:

"Ling Bai, they dared to have designs on Bing'er before, and now they've killed the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Jade King Scorpion. What if one day that human named Huo Yuhao needs more extreme northern soul beasts to become stepping stones on the path to godhood? I'm very, very, very worried."

The Snow Empress repeatedly emphasized "extremely" before continuing, "The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's spiritual power is unparalleled in the world. Forcing it to its limit and causing it to self-destruct is indeed difficult. But even if you can't kill it, you must do everything in your power to weaken it, not only for the peace of the far north, but also because you have all embarked on the path to godhood. The resources of the Douluo Continent are fixed; you are naturally competitors. Survival of the fittest applies to all beings, just as it does to humans!"

At this point, Xue Di paused for a moment, her tone becoming increasingly heavy:

"Ling Bai, two lines destined to intersect, if they cannot be woven into a perfect net, will surely become countless knots..."

You cannot allow them to pose even the slightest threat to our path to godhood!

"Snow Empress, I understand your good intentions and concerns. I know all about the path to godhood that Huo Yuhao is preparing to take. Last time, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm offered up 100,000 years of original power to save its life, and the energy stored in its body has been reduced to 900,000 years."

Once there's one, there will be two. We'll slowly devour them, little by little...

Gazing at Huo Yuhao, who was full of vigor in the Extreme Ice Domain, Ling Bai's eyes flashed with a scarlet light, like a demonic spider looking at its prey, who was already entangled in its web but was still confused. It revealed its cold and bloodthirsty fangs in the shadows!

In the Soul Battle Zone, Huo Yuhao suddenly shivered inexplicably and muttered:

"That's strange, how can the ultimate ice be cold?"

Shaking his head to clear his mind, Huo Yuhao focused all his attention on dealing with Wu Feng and Zhu Lu. The extreme cold environment of the Extreme Ice Domain greatly enhanced his combat power, and the Ice Jade Scorpion's own formidable strength allowed him to fight against the Red Dragon and the Netherworld Spirit Cat one against two!

"So this is what a power-attack type Soul Master is like...?"

Huo Yuhao felt a sense of exhilarating satisfaction. Men, after all, enjoy the visceral thrill of close-quarters combat rather than sneaking around and unleashing skills from behind!

At this moment, Wu Feng and Zhu Lu were in a terrible state. The terrifying cold released by the Extreme Ice Domain had frozen the blood of the two women, making them unable to move and maintain their attack posture.

Seeing this, Elder Xuan, who was watching from the sidelines, smiled with satisfaction. It was worthwhile that Shrek Academy had held a Sea God Pavilion meeting for Huo Yuhao five days ago.

With his Domain Soul Skill, Twin Martial Souls, Body Martial Soul, Spirit Martial Soul, and Ultimate Martial Soul, Huo Yuhao's five major buffs are stacked together, making him no less capable than Ling Bai's Six-Winged Angel and qualified to become Shrek Academy's successor.

Huo Yuhao's weak background was seen as his greatest strength by Shrek Academy. After a discussion, the elders of the Sea God Pavilion decided to do everything they could to recruit him.

In just five days, Huo Yuhao was completely swayed by the promises Shrek Academy made, while Ling Bai remained as steadfast as a stone maiden, maintaining a normal student-school relationship with the academy for over a year.

On the battlefield, although the two women were temporarily controlled by the Extreme Ice Domain, Elder Xuan did not make a move, and Huo Yuhao showed no sign of stopping.

When the Ice Jade Scorpion possessed him, Huo Yuhao's eyes shone with a vibrant green light, a natural phenomenon in battle for Beast Soul Masters. Now, his eyes, including the whites, had turned into an incredibly clear green, like two sparkling gems.

To Wu Fengzhulu and the seven selected monsters who were hiding and watching the battle, Huo Yuhao's body suddenly underwent a strange change, and a beam of emerald green light as thick as an arm shot out from his right hand.

The moment the emerald light burst forth, even through the clothes, everyone could clearly see that Huo Yuhao's metacarpal bones, arm bones, and even his entire right arm were emitting a strong emerald green color.

The Soul Bone Skill of the Eternal Ice Jade Scorpion's Right Arm: Ice Jade Fury!

The extreme cold and impact of the ice struck Wu Feng Zhu Lu head-on, sending the two women flying backward and embedding them deeply into the ground of the Soul Fighting Zone. A thin layer of ice condensed around them, and a chilling aura spread freely.

With a double kill, just as Huo Yuhao's eyes were filled with excitement, the ice began to melt, and a dazzling burst of fire erupted from the depths of the earth!

"You mere Ice Jade Scorpion... you're far inferior to that bastard's Angelic Holy Sword."

A red figure slowly emerged from the firelight, seemingly clad in dragon scale armor constructed from magma and flames, its pupils burning with a wild crimson hue.

Witch Wind!

She has occupied a scorching spot in the Realm of Extreme Ice!

"Dragon transformation!?"

Huo Yuhao didn't recognize Wu Feng's change. Bei Bei, who was far away, was the first to exclaim in shock. In theory, all Dragon Soul Masters can complete Dragon Transformation, but so far, only the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon lineage in Douluo Continent has truly achieved stable Dragon Transformation and has written Dragon Transformation into a secret technique to pass on to future generations.

To her surprise, Beibei discovered that Wufeng's Crimson Dragon Transformation wasn't like the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, where each breakthrough after level 30 added a new dragon form. She directly condensed her Dragon Armor form, and as her strength gradually increased, the Crimson Flame Dragon Armor would become increasingly powerful.

"Beibei, stop worrying about that! I can't hold on much longer!"

Xu Sanshi raised the Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield and roared as he withstood five or six attacks.

With the amplification of Ning Tian's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the ten Soul Masters were comparable to Soul Sect Masters. Huo Yuhao switched to the Ice Jade Scorpion, and they lost the assistance of shared mental detection. With one side gaining and the other losing, the situation became extremely precarious!

"Our trump card!"

Beibei uttered two words, instantly activating the Holy Dragon Bloodline within her!

"Just do it!"

Xu Sanshi roared to the sky, and small snakes slithered on the Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield!

The bloodline of the divine beast Xuanwu has erupted!

Jiang Nannan: You two are cheating and you didn't include me!?

On the other side, Huo Yuhao stared intently at Wu Feng. She was undergoing some strange changes. In the past, every time he saw Wu Feng, she exuded a fiery and explosive aura, like a live volcano ready to erupt at any moment. But after transforming into a dragon, she became calm and composed, as if she had become a different person. Her originally slender and fiery body looked exceptionally beautiful under the red light of the Crimson Flame Dragon Armor, as if it could ignite everyone's heart.

Wu Feng exhaled scorching heat like a volcano, his first and second soul rings flashed simultaneously, and a huge pillar of fire shot into the sky, bombarding Huo Yuhao with bursts of scorching energy!

Red Dragon's first soul skill is Dragon's Fire, and its second soul skill is Dragon's Wrath!

Combination Soul Skill: Dragon's Fury!

"Boom—"

The sound of the explosion echoed through the Soul Fighting Zone for a long time. Huo Yuhao, his face charred black, barely managed to get up. Fortunately, the Extreme Ice gave him ice and fire resistance far exceeding that of others. Otherwise, if he had withstood Wu Feng's Dragon's Fury, he would have been sent straight to heaven to meet his grandmother.

Looking around at the various battlefields, Huo Yuhao's heart suddenly sank. On the side of the three Soul Sects, Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi used their trump cards, but they did not gain an absolute advantage. Every time they eliminated a senior Soul Master, they had to pay a lot of Soul Power. Even if they won, it would be a lose-lose situation.

He Caitou's soul-guided turret was fiercely powerful but extremely insensitive, and he was trapped in the Lan sisters' inescapable net. Xie Huanyue, relying on her thick skin, kept getting closer to He Caitou, while Ning Tian took out two level-three soul-guided devices from behind, which also caused He Caitou a lot of trouble.

The level-three soul tool's soul power depletion ray doubles the rate at which the soul power of the hit person is consumed, directly targeting the vital point of the soul tool turret.

The Level 3 Soul Tool, Illusory Mist, releases a seven-colored mist that interferes with vision and mental power, significantly reducing He Caitou's accuracy with his Soul Tool.

After studying in the Soul Guidance Department for several months, Ning Tian heard that He Caitou was known as a mobile powder keg and loved Soul Guidance Artillery tactics. Considering that He Caitou was Huo Yuhao's senior brother, Ning Tian specially prepared these two Soul Guidance Devices for him.

The effect is outstanding!

The four Soul Masters were too preoccupied to pay attention to anything else. Turning their heads, they saw Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao fighting fiercely with Dai Huabin and Huang Chutian. Zhu Lu gradually recovered and joined Wu Feng in flanking from both sides. Huo Yuhao's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died.

"Wang Dong, the Road to Gold!"

Huo Yuhao shouted, "This is the only chance to turn the tide!"

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's shout, Wang Dong used the Butterfly God's Light to block the White Tiger's fierce light wave and immediately took off, accelerating at full speed to catch up with Huo Yuhao before Wu Feng and Zhu Lu!

The Goddess of Light Butterfly and the Spirit Eye, two enormous lights and shadows, merged with each other. The iridescent blue, gold, and purple rays shot straight ahead, leaving behind a dazzling and timeless brilliance that lingered wherever the light passed, creating a mesmerizing distortion and shimmering effect.

The soul power within both of them burned completely, and a surge of power burst forth from their potential, unleashing a desperate, all-or-nothing attack!

Amidst the brilliance, the path to gold!

Their target wasn't Wu Feng Zhu Lu, but those Soul Masters. Huo Yuhao found the perfect angle, and there happened to be six Soul Masters standing in a straight line!

He knew in his heart that as long as Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi Teng made a move, dealing with the others would be as easy as taking candy from a baby!

"This is the golden road I've been waiting for!"

Dai Huabin's eyes gleamed. Back in the freshman finals, he and Zhu Lu's Netherworld White Tiger team lost to Du Weilin without a direct confrontation with the Golden Road team. The two of them were always dissatisfied. The Netherworld White Tiger team had been renowned for thousands of years. Why was it weaker than the Golden Road team?

"roar!!!"

A tiger's roar shook the heavens, a sudden gale arose, clouds followed the dragon, wind followed the tiger, and the Netherworld White Tiger fearlessly marched towards the golden path, and then...

It has become a golden statue!

Joking aside, a 100% Martial Soul Compatibility is no joke!

With little soul power left, He Caitou found that Ning Tian and Xie Huanyue's Heavenly Net was too effective against him. He then used his last bit of soul power to fire a level-four soul-guided cannonball at Dai Zhu and the other two, who were unable to resist the disintegration of their martial soul fusion technique.

The next second, Elder Xuan saved He Caitou, Dai Huabin, and Zhu Lu, meaning they were eliminated.

The Golden Road was only delayed by the Netherworld White Tiger for a second. In that very second, a strong surge of soul power emanated from Ning Tian's body, frantically converging towards the center of his forehead. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda rose in front of Ning Tian, ​​and the three soul rings on his body lit up and merged into one.

Secret Technique: Fusion Ring!

A phantom image instantly rose behind Ning Tian. The phantom image was a faint, eerie green. Its upper body seemed to be that of a human woman with a strange and unpredictable head of snake hair, and its lower body was a thick tail coiled together.

A human body with a snake's tail, Medusa, the queen of snakes!

Ning Tian's azure eyes turned a terrifying white, a layer of white halo permeating his eyes, and two pale white beams of light suddenly shot out, heading straight for the golden path!

The Soul Bone Skill of the Eternal Medusa Head: Medusa's Gaze!

Medusa, gazing into the air, crashed into the golden road from the side. The golden light was rendered pale white by the white light. Then, an even more astonishing scene unfolded: the rendered golden road underwent a qualitative change. The originally ethereal energy materialized, and a pale white stone road crashed to the ground!

After the Martial Soul Fusion Skill was dispelled, Wu Feng rewarded Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong with a grand duel each. In the end, Elder Xuan couldn't stand it anymore and took the two away.

The other battles ended one after another. Bei Xujiang eliminated the top ten Soul Masters, but it was a Pyrrhic victory with both sides suffering heavy losses. Bei Bei's soul power was exhausted, and Xu Sanshi fell into a weak state after his Xuanwu bloodline erupted. Jiang Nannan, who was in slightly better condition, was panting heavily and was obviously at her limit.

Huang Chutian was defeated by Xiao Xiao, and Xiao Xiao was then killed by Wu Fengxie Huanyue, resulting in their elimination.

Eight people remain in the arena: Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, Ning Tian, ​​Wu Feng, Xie Huanyue, and the Lan sisters. The outcome is about to be revealed.

Ning Tianrong's soul power was exhausted, and he was sucking on a milk bottle to recover his soul power. The Lan sisters' martial soul fusion skill, Heavenly Net, had ended, and their combat power was less than one-tenth. However, Jiang Nannan was still unable to deal with Xie Huanyue, who was almost at full strength, and Wu Feng, who was at 30% strength.

"Beibei, Xu Sanshi, what should we do?" she asked, her face pale.

The oppressive aura of the two great martial souls, the Pikachu Elephant and the Red Dragon, was overwhelming, while the others were like wolves and tigers, ready to pounce.

"this……"

Beibei smiled bitterly; they had reached their wits' end.

"Elder Xuan, I concede!"

A loud voice suddenly rang out.

"San Shi/Xu San Shi!"

Meeting his companion's astonished gaze, Xu Sanshi shrugged and said, "I can't bear to see Nannan risk her life, so I'll just admit defeat."

The outcome is decided: Bei Bei, Jiang Nannan, Ning Tian, ​​Xie Huanyue, Wu Feng, Lan Susu, and Lan Luoluo!

"Hahaha, Ling Bai, Ling Luochen, and I won!" Yao Haoxuan cheered. "You guys were just showing off and we were left watching!"

"That little red dragon girl is quite good; she'll definitely become the third active volcano in the inner courtyard in the future," Ma Xiaotao praised.

"..."

Upon hearing this, cold sweat dripped down the faces of Gongyang Mo and Yao Haoxuan.

Eldest sister, two active volcanoes are already putting immense pressure on us. If another one were added, would the male disciples of the inner courtyard even survive?

"Ling Bai, why aren't you saying anything? You're just pretending to be cool and dominating, cheer up!" Yao Haoxuan noticed that something was wrong with Ling Bai.

"Have you noticed that Elder Xuan's expression seems a bit gloomy?"

The Shrek Seven Devils all looked over, and sure enough, Elder Xuan's brows were furrowed together, his expression extremely gloomy, as if a storm was brewing.

"You won."

After uttering a single sentence, Elder Xuan transformed into a phantom and rushed towards the Golden Tree on Seagod Island, his vast spiritual power spreading to the elders.

"Gentlemen, I need to convene a meeting of the Sea God Pavilion!"
