Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Thunder Dragon, A Century of Glory

Chapter 10 Thunder Dragon and Molten Rhinoceros (Part 2)

"For some reason, I feel like I acted a bit hastily!"

Graphite: "Tianheng, what makes you say that?"

"I bet five thousand gold soul coins on my cousin." Yu Tianheng covered his face, seemingly trying to hide the faint sadness in his heart.

Yu Tianheng's words reminded the Shi Mo and Shi Mo brothers that they had also invested some money in Yun Yibai because of Yu Tianheng.

The pain in their testicles made the two brothers' faces fall.

As for Dugu Yan, although she also placed her bets on Yun Yibai, she's different! She's a real rich woman! She doesn't care about the money.

After Yun Yibai entered the arena, the comparison between the two became apparent. He was a head shorter than his opponent, which put him at a disadvantage from the start.

However, because he had ingested whale glue, his blood energy was now very strong, which caused a change in the expression on the face of the molten rhinoceros.

Moreover, Yun Yibai received an elite education from a young age, and his temperament and confidence are something Rongxi lacks.

"Alright, both contestants have entered the arena. Let's look forward to their exciting duel!"

"Now, please activate your Martial Souls!"

As soon as Qingyin finished speaking, two soul imprints appeared above Rongxi and Yun Yibai's heads respectively.

The fiery red soul imprint is engraved with a rhinoceros head pattern, while the golden soul imprint is engraved with a dragon head.

"It's here, it's Thunder Dragon's Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex."

"Qingyin had heard before that Lei Long's martial soul was a variant of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, and now it seems it's true!"

"Both players have activated their martial spirits, so what's next..."

After Qingyin finished speaking, her martial spirit wings flapped behind her, allowing her to fly even higher.

She took a slow breath and said, "Fighting Spirit!!"

She then pointed the microphone at the audience.

"Start!" the entire audience shouted in unison. The atmosphere instantly became electric.

"Thump!" With a stomp of his foot, a fiery red light burst forth from his body, and lava-colored armor suddenly appeared on his right hand and chest. This was his true armor. But that wasn't all. His stomp was entirely for acceleration. In the next instant, he transformed into a fiery red ray and attacked Yun Yibai directly.

"This aura... this isn't something a Great Soul Master should have. He's definitely broken through." Yun Yibai confirmed his earlier guess.

"Zzzzz~" With inferior soul power and combat experience, Yun Yibai had to go all out against such an enemy. Fortunately, his martial soul and soul rings were superior to his opponent's.

Golden lightning crackled around him, and his hands transformed into golden dragon claws. The True Body Armor would accelerate the consumption of a Soul Master's Soul Power, but it would also enhance the Soul Master's various stats and abilities.

Of course, this improvement is entirely related to the spirit rings.

Facing the newcomer, Yun Yibai remained calm and even somewhat excited. He enjoyed such a formidable opponent, and even if he lost, it wouldn't affect him at all. Battles were the path to becoming stronger, and losing would only make him train harder. Moreover, he didn't believe he had no chance of winning.

He swung his fist to meet the attack head-on.

"Boom!" The sound was like a thunderclap. The fiery red rays of the Molten Rhinoceros and Yun Yibai's golden dragon claws collided violently in mid-air. The two powerful forces collided and instantly burst into a dazzling light. The surrounding air was affected and surged in all directions.

However, as expected of the main Soul Arena, the quality here is quite good. The power of the two Soul Masters is no match for this place, let alone any smoke or dust.

"Such immense power!"

"This kid actually has such power!"

Each of them thought to themselves.

"Just because he's young, does that mean I'm underestimating him? Ha!" Rongxi thought to himself with a self-deprecating laugh.

"No wonder they specifically chose me to make the move; it turns out those big shots had already seen through our strengths." Thinking of this, he felt even more insignificant, and he longed to become stronger. Moreover, the other party had already promised him that as long as he could defeat them, the Great Soul Arena would send someone to hunt for soul rings with him.

He was very satisfied with this condition; the reputation of the Great Soul Arena was far superior to that of those mercenary soul masters.

"These scions of powerful families are truly remarkable! If it were me..." Rongxi narrowed his eyes, a hint of ruthlessness creeping into them. His fiery red true armor radiated a dazzling light under the infusion of soul power. To be honest, this individual soul master without any background was quite envious of Yun Yibai. He felt that if he had Yun Yibai's background, his achievements would definitely be even greater.

Their initial encounter was merely a test of each other's strengths and weaknesses; the real battle was yet to come.

The best defense is offense, and Yun Yibai made the first move.

He has excellent control over the elements, but his soul power is still too low. Forcing the use of non-instantaneous, non-soul-skill magic attacks will only accelerate the depletion of his soul power.

This is why battles between Soul Masters often involve using the power of their Martial Souls for close combat. They first weaken their opponent, then deliver the final blow when the opponent is weakened.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

Moreover, among Soul Masters of the same rank, unless one side possesses an absolutely overwhelming Soul Skill that can completely destroy the enemy's defenses in a single strike, it is often difficult to quickly determine the winner through simple ranged attacks or Soul Skill competitions.

The arena was bustling with activity, and Qingyin in the air above it was equally busy.

"Golden lightning surged toward Thunder Dragon's true form, the Armored Dragon Claw."

"Faced with Lei Long's charge, Rong Xi did not flee. Instead, he gathered fiery red soul power in his palm and then unleashed a blazing fireball."

"Lei Long easily dodged the opponent's fireball attack with a swift movement."

On the sidelines, Yun Yibai suddenly swung out his golden dragon claw, carrying the power of thunder, aiming straight for the vital point of the Molten Rhinoceros.

"What?!" The host's clear voice suddenly became several decibels louder.

Many viewers were unaware of what was going on.

"Molten Rhinoceros has used his first soul skill, Molten Rhinoceros Charge." Qingyin's voice became a little more urgent.

"I originally thought that Molten Rhino was going to go head-to-head with Thunder Dragon, but Molten Rhino used this attack soul skill not to fight back, but to escape."

In the Great Battle Arena, the opponent's reverse operation made Yun Yibai feel uneasy.

As expected, after Yun Yibai's attack missed and he landed successfully, his opponent attacked again.

"Second Soul Skill, Lava Stomp!!"

The opponent let out a low roar and slammed his feet into the ground, causing it to tremble. The ground within a five-meter radius around him instantly turned into crimson lava, which gushed out and swept towards Yun Yibai with scorching power.

Caught off guard, Yun Yibai fell into his opponent's trap. Feeling the scorching heat, he sighed, realizing his opponent was indeed a veteran of the Soul Arena. There was a reason he'd been able to remain active in the Great Soul Arena for so many years.

Without any unusual signs, his first spirit ring lit up.

"Zzzzz~" The lightning exploded around him, and the outward lightning came into contact with the lava, temporarily slowing down the impact of the lava.
