Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is a Simulator

Chapter 239 All Cleaned Up

"Now that you've recovered, let's fight!"

After saying something to Mu Ge, Sword Douluo reached out and summoned the Seven Kill Sword, which he had previously stuck in the arena, back into his hand.

boom--

After he finished speaking, an unparalleled sword intent erupted from Sword Douluo's body.

"Seven Kill Sword!"

With a wave of his hand, Mu Ge summoned an identical Seven Kill Sword.

Seeing Mu Ge unleash a martial soul identical to his own, Sword Douluo was naturally not surprised at all. Mu Ge had previously demonstrated the power of the opponent's simulator martial soul, which seemed to be able to simulate anyone's martial soul.

He would only be surprised if there were any martial souls that Muge couldn't simulate.

"First Soul Skill - Longsword Strike!"

After Sword Douluo unleashed his first soul skill, he charged towards Mu Ge with the Seven Kill Sword, without using any of his more powerful soul skills.

Drawing the longsword only increases the Seven Kill Sword's lethality; it doesn't count as a move.

He wanted to see if Mu Ge could defeat him with just his sword, without even using powerful soul skills.

"First Soul Skill - Longsword Strike!"

Seeing this, Mu Ge naturally used the same soul skill and then charged towards Sword Douluo.

If you fight with the same weapon and don't use any fancy soul skills, you'll just have to see who's better at using their weapon.

Sword Douluo, also known as Sword Dao Chenxin, possesses extraordinary power even without using soul skills, when wielding a sword.

Swah——

In an instant, the longsword in Sword Douluo's hand pierced straight towards Mu Ge.

Ding--

Mu Ge was no pushover either; with a slight movement of his longsword, he blocked Sword Douluo's attack.

Swah——

Sword Douluo's longsword was blocked by Mu Ge, but Sword Douluo withdrew his sword and the Seven Kill Sword quickly changed to a tricky angle to attack Mu Ge.

Ding--

The shepherd twirled his longsword, once again blocking Sword Douluo's attack.

"Very good, it seems your swordsmanship is quite extraordinary!"

Seeing that Mu Ge had easily parried his attacks one after another, Sword Douluo was both surprised and delighted, as it was rare to encounter a master swordsman.

shhhhh--

In an instant, the fighting spirit in Sword Douluo's eyes intensified, and he continuously attacked Mu Ge with his longsword.

ding ding ding-

Mu Ge remained calm and parried Sword Douluo's attacks one by one.

Seeing that Sword Douluo did not intend to use powerful soul skills but instead planned to fight with swordsmanship, Mu Ge followed Sword Douluo's wishes and also used swordsmanship to counter Sword Douluo.

Mu Ge had mastered the Dugu Nine Swords, and he believed his understanding of swordsmanship was no less than that of Sword Douluo, so he was not afraid at all.

The eighth and ninth soul skills that Sword Douluo used before, Mu Ge saw that they were not sword skills at all, but powerful soul skills, which were formed by using powerful soul power as a foundation.

A clash of soul skills!

Even so, Sword Douluo's swordsmanship is still extremely powerful.

After Sword Douluo seized the initiative, Mu Ge could only struggle to keep up.

Swah——

"Tai Chi Swordplay!"

However, after Mu Ge gradually became familiar with Sword Douluo's swordsmanship and skills, he blocked Sword Douluo's attack and immediately used Tai Chi swordsmanship to fight with Sword Douluo.

Tai Chi swordplay is light, gentle, continuous, and interspersed with emptiness and fullness, emphasizing intention over force.

When Mu Ge unleashed the Tai Chi Sword Technique, Sword Douluo was surprised to find that his attacks seemed to be stuck in the mud, making them very difficult to execute.

"There's actually such swordsmanship..."

Sword Douluo's eyes lit up as he watched Mu Ge perform the Tai Chi sword technique, as if he had seen something he particularly loved.

He truly hadn't expected that Mu Ge would have such skill in swordsmanship.

This delighted Sword Douluo. He felt it was worth it just to see Mu Ge's Tai Chi swordsmanship today.

However, Sword Douluo wanted to see more, so he continued to attack Muge.

Tai Chi swordplay emphasizes defense, and Sword Douluo will not be easily injured by Mu Ge if he does not act rashly.

Furthermore, Mu Ge realized that Sword Douluo was feeding him techniques, wanting to see more Tai Chi swordplay and absorb Mu Ge's understanding of swordsmanship, so Mu Ge went along with Sword Douluo's wishes.

Mu Ge quite admired Sword Douluo.

ding ding ding-

In an instant, sword shadows flew as Mu Ge and Sword Douluo engaged in a fierce battle on the void arena, using only their longswords.

Sword Douluo had a great time, but the audience was greatly disappointed.

"what……"

"Is that all there is to the battle between His Majesty the Myriad Manifestations and His Majesty the Sword Douluo?"

"Why aren't they using powerful soul skills? They're just sparring with their swords..."

"Yeah, it's so disappointing..."

"I think it's quite good! I didn't know swordsmanship could be used like this; it's no weaker than soul skills!"

"..."

Most viewers expressed disappointment.

I originally wanted to see a battle like the one between Mu Ge and Bone Douluo and Thunder Douluo, with all sorts of powerful soul skills clashing, going back and forth, and full of special effects.

Unlike now, which, while still exciting, isn't visually stunning!

"Senior Chenxin, be careful, I'm about to switch to an even more powerful sword technique!"

Ding--

After forcing Sword Douluo to retreat with a single sword strike, Mu Ge decided to stop playing and prepared to switch to a stronger sword technique.

Since Sword Douluo does not intend to use powerful soul skills, he only hopes to fight with swordsmanship.

Then Mu Ge might as well use his strongest swordsmanship to defeat Sword Douluo, and also let Sword Douluo witness the Dugu Nine Swords, one of the strongest sword techniques in Chinese martial arts.

"There's even an even stronger sword technique?"

"Come on, I won't use any other soul skills. Let me see the swordsmanship you speak of, which is even stronger!"

Upon hearing Mu Ge's reminder, Sword Douluo was overjoyed.

Nothing was more appealing to him than gaining a deeper understanding of swordsmanship; as the saying goes, "If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening."

Besides, dying here isn't true death!

"The Nine Swords of Dugu - Final Sword Form!"

Without wasting any words, Mu Ge immediately attacked Sword Douluo with the ultimate sword style of the Dugu Nine Swords.

The moment this sword technique, which completely abandoned defense, was unleashed, Sword Douluo's eyes widened in shock.

It was a sword technique completely opposite to the one we just saw. It's incredible that one person could master two completely opposite understandings of swordsmanship.

Moreover, when Mu Ge unleashed the Dugu Nine Swords, he indeed felt an unprecedentedly sharp sword intent, as if the surrounding air had transformed into sharp swords and attacked him.

Upon seeing this understanding of swordsmanship, Sword Douluo's eyes grew even more fervent.

He liked this understanding of swordsmanship even more than the one Muge had shown before.

This kind of attack, disregarding all defense, was exactly what he wanted.

"kill!"

Despite the surprise, Sword Douluo did not give up or back down. He immediately took up his longsword and faced Mu Ge.

ding ding ding-

However, Mu Ge's Dugu Nine Swords was indeed far superior to Sword Douluo's own understanding of swordsmanship. After Sword Douluo parried a few moves, he could only passively defend.

"Sword Breaking Style!"

Then Mu Ge immediately unleashed the strongest move from the Dugu Nine Swords, the Breaking Sword Style, which is used against opponents who also wield swords.

shhhhh--

Sword Douluo felt that all he could see were sword shadows, and he had no idea how to defend himself.

Sword Douluo could only rely on his keen sense of danger to parry and defend with his longsword.

puff--

However, in the end, Sword Douluo could not withstand Mu Ge's Dugu Nine Swords. The tip of Mu Ge's long sword pierced his heart, and blood splattered everywhere.

"I lost!"

Looking down at his wounds, Sword Douluo paused for a moment, then readily admitted his defeat.

Although the longsword in the shepherd's hand did not completely pierce his heart, he knew that the shepherd had held back; otherwise, he would be dead by now.

"What is this sword technique, or understanding of swordsmanship, called?"

Sword Douluo no longer cared about winning or losing; he just eagerly asked Mu Ge for advice.

"The Nine Swords of Dugu is a sword technique that emphasizes advance without retreat, abandoning all defense, and where it's either you or me who dies!"

Mu Ge withdrew his longsword and smiled faintly.

"The Nine Swords of Dugu... Today's battle has made my trip worthwhile!"

Having firmly memorized the Nine Swords of Dugu as Mu Ge had described, Sword Douluo showed no sign of defeat; instead, his eyes shone brightly.

His encounter with Mu Ge was indeed very beneficial to him.

After Sword Douluo finished speaking, his figure gradually disappeared from the void arena and he was teleported back.

[Mu Ge, the Myriad Manifestations Douluo, wins the Heavenly Ranking Challenge and ranks first on the Heavenly Ranking, while Sword Douluo Chen Xin drops to second!]

The Void Arena quickly declared Pastoral Song's victory.

"We won..."

"They won so easily..."

"We didn't even see His Majesty Wanxiang and His Majesty Sword Douluo fight each other..."

"..."

The audience was left wanting more when they saw the challenge of the top-ranked player on the leaderboard end so easily.

However, they were already quite satisfied to have witnessed so many battles between Title Douluo powerhouses today.

Normally, it's rare for them to see a battle of this caliber.

Let alone a Title Douluo, even a Soul Douluo would find it difficult.

However, they believe that battles of this level will become quite common in the future.

The Heavenly Ranking is only temporary. There are still so many Title Douluo who will definitely not miss out on this ranking.

Isn't the purpose of cultivating power simply for fame and fortune?

A powerful expert at the Title Douluo level would certainly not miss such an opportunity to make a name for themselves.

Just when everyone thought the excitement of the day was over, a declaration from a Title Douluo suddenly popped up on the world channel.

I am Tang Xiao, the Haotian Douluo, and the current sect master of the Haotian Sect!

Based on the previous account of the Myriad Manifestations Douluo, I have already questioned those disciples who discovered that the Myriad Manifestations Douluo was devouring the martial souls of our Clear Sky Sect disciples. Through questioning and investigation of the victim, it is confirmed that the victim was indeed of questionable character, and our Clear Sky Sect has indeed wronged His Majesty the Myriad Manifestations!

[Hereby, I sincerely apologize to His Majesty the Emperor!]

It's Tang Xiao.

After listening to his sister Tang Yuehua's advice and learning that Mu Ge was his brother-in-law, Tang Xiao decided to resolve his previous grievances with Mu Ge.

So when Mu Ge finished all the challenges on the Heavenly Ranking and became number one, Tang Xiao stepped forward to clear Mu Ge's name of the crime of devouring martial souls.

"what……"

"It's Tang Xiao, it's actually Tang Xiao, the sect leader of the Haotian Sect..."

"Tang Xiao actually entered the dream world as well, and even explained the misunderstanding on behalf of His Majesty Wanxiang..."

"Even the Sect Master of the Haotian Sect said so, it seems His Majesty Wanxiang was truly wronged back then!"

"I knew it! His Majesty the Myriad Manifestations couldn't possibly be a Fallen One!"

"Didn't you see the title 'Clear Sky Sect Master'? Clear Sky Douluo! Tang Xiao has actually broken through to the Title Douluo level..."

"After the old sect master of the Clear Sky Sect died, the Clear Sky Sect had no titled Douluo. To have one again so quickly truly shows its strength as the strongest of the three upper sects!"

"If we include Tang Hao, that makes two Title Douluos!"

"Yes, it's a pity Tang Hao was disappointing and disgraced the Clear Sky Sect. He was expelled from the sect long ago!"

"Now, no one will dare to say that His Majesty the Myriad Manifestations is a fallen one..."

"..."

The audience was shocked by Tang Xiao's speech and immediately began to discuss it.

None of them expected that Tang Xiao would stand up at this moment to clear Mu Ge's name.

The people of the Haotian Sect had personally witnessed Mu Ge devouring the martial souls of their disciples. Now that even Tang Xiao had said so, almost everyone completely believed Mu Ge's previous account; he was indeed wronged.

Those sects and forces that had previously followed the Haotian Sect in issuing arrest warrants for Muge were now quite speechless.

Finally, they all came forward and announced that they indeed had no evidence for what happened back then, and that they had only joined Haotian Sect in issuing a warrant for Mu Ge's arrest. They also apologized to Mu Ge.

Of course, they weren't titled Douluo, so their messages weren't pinned or highlighted in bold or red, making them difficult to spot.

Fortunately, their sect has many members, so they can simply convey their message and have more people send it out.

Soon everyone saw that all the sects and forces that had previously issued warrants for Mu Ge's arrest had stepped forward to apologize to him.

After all, Tang Xiao had apologized, so they didn't dare to continue the manhunt for Mu Ge.

Of course, knowing Mu Ge's strength, they wouldn't dare to do it anyway.

They didn't come forward to apologize just to save face.

Now that Tang Xiao, the sect leader of Haotian Sect, has come forward to apologize and explain, there's nothing for them to care about anymore. In any case, it's Haotian Sect that will lose face even more.

Moreover, being able to praise Muge is a good thing, even if it doesn't lead to a good relationship, as long as Muge doesn't hold a grudge.

After today's Heavenly Ranking Challenge, none of them are unafraid of Mu Ge.

Their sect doesn't even have a single Title Douluo.

If Muge holds a grudge and comes knocking on our door, that would be bad.

[In light of the explanations from the Clear Sky Sect and other sects, the Spirit Hall is also withdrawing its arrest warrant for the Myriad Manifestations Douluo Mu Ge, effective immediately, and will no longer classify him as a Fallen One!]

"snort!"

Upon seeing this situation, Bibi Dong snorted in displeasure and took the opportunity to announce on the world channel that the arrest warrant for Mu Ge had been lifted.
