Douluo: Dragon King's Tai Chi Mystery

Among the spectators, a girl with short chestnut-red hair was full of fighting spirit. She stepped onto the icy arena. The girl had an extremely beautiful face, pale skin, and a figure that was more exquisite and shapely than her age.

Halfway there, she suddenly remembered something and stopped in her tracks.

"Forget it, I'm a work-study student, so I don't get to enjoy Shrek's free cafeteria and benefits. I need to find a way to support myself, so I'll have to find a job first..."

Life is more important than anything else; the girl who ranked eighth on the list of teenage geniuses turned away with regret.

"Boom, boom, boom——"

Heavy footsteps echoed as the young man steadily stepped onto the stage. Tall and imposing, he exuded an aura of unwavering authority, like a giant pillar supporting the sky.

"Based on Yu Yuanheng and Mo Jue's descriptions, I probably can't beat you," the young man said in a deep voice.

“But you still came,” Zhao Xuanzhen said.

"I am the class monitor of Class 1, Grade 2. More than a dozen students have been defeated by you. It is my responsibility to stand up and restore the dignity of the class."

Moreover, you have set up this arena to challenge us. As the third-ranked young genius, my pride is second to none, and I will never allow myself to back down.

One can lose, but one must not back down.

"If you cannot defeat Li Qiankun, please enlighten me!"

"Brother Ming, should we let that kid continue the challenge?"

High above Lingbing Square, Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li looked down at the two boys facing off on the icy arena, her beautiful green eyes filled with worry.

"Let him fight." Yun Ming laughed. "Shrek Academy is revered as the continent's..."

Handsome in appearance, yet reckless in his actions; indeed, his personality is like mine.

Ya Li chuckled and gently punched Yun Ming. Having been together for many years, she naturally understood her husband's unspoken meaning.

Back then, he stormed into Mingdu alone with just a gun, snatched her away in front of everyone, and promised to fight all his rivals. That battle was earth-shattering, almost shattering space itself, and in the end, he won the heart of his beauty.

"The academy has been too peaceful for too long. It's good for things to be a little turbulent now and then. It will motivate the students from other academies to feel the gap between them. However, without a referee, safety cannot be guaranteed," Ya Li reminded them.

Yun Ming waved to the distance, dispersing the academy enforcers who were rushing over, and said, "Zhao Xuanzhen knew what he was doing. He could have finished off the Holy Angel when it fell earlier, but he gave up the opportunity to severely injure it."

The holy angel knew in his heart that the other party had shown mercy, so he admitted defeat while still having a sliver of strength to resist.

The highest rank on the list of young geniuses is only Soul King. With you and me by my side, there's absolutely no chance of anything going wrong. Just watch with peace of mind.

"It makes sense."

Ya Li was relieved. Even if the Sky-Supporting Douluo Yun Ming wasn't there, she, as a level 98 Super Douluo, could still save both sides in time.

Could it be that even a level 98 Title Douluo couldn't stop a Soul King?

Who's so shameful!

On the icy arena, Li Qiankun's muscles bulged, making him stand like an insurmountable peak. Four magnificent purple soul rings rose, and a golden halo surrounded him. With a clenched fist, a gilded bronze sphere engraved with ancient runes materialized out of thin air.

The Qiankun Ball is a top-tier defensive weapon spirit, and Li Qiankun is also known as the number one defender on the list of young geniuses!

"Zhao Xuanzhen! Li Qiankun is a weapon spirit master, attack his physical body!"

The silver-haired girl stood in the front row of the audience, her eyebrows curved, her beautiful face flushed with excitement, and she made a megaphone with her hands, shouting "Go! Go!"

Rumors always spread the fastest. After the battle with the main body of the Angel ended, more and more spectators gathered, and the news spread like wildfire, igniting the atmosphere at the scene.

All the students in Class 1 of Grade 2 were present: Swan Mojue, Lan Dianyu Yuanheng, Ning Qian, Chu Yan... They were united in their support for their class leader, Li Qiankun.

In another corner, Ye Xinglan pursed her red lips tightly, her slightly curved chest heaving violently, staring intently at the arena, her eyes burning with raging fire.

Two body lengths away from Ye Xinglan, the chubby Xu Lizhi gazed enviously at the two Soul Masters, Zhao Xuanzhen and Li Qiankun. If he had combat power, perhaps everything would be different.

"Om-"

The first and second soul rings shone brightly in succession, and the soul power within his body surged forth. The Qiankun Sphere formed a pale golden light shield, and the first soul skill, Qiankun Shield, steadily protected Li Qiankun's tall body within it. Immediately afterward, a black and white fist heavily struck the light shield, and the two collided, bursting forth with dazzling sparks, instantly creating a breathtaking spectacle like a tree of fire and silver flowers.

The Tai Chi Yang Hand was incredibly fierce, its power constantly invading the light barrier. Li Qiankun grunted, took a half step back, and squatted down in a horse stance. He subtly adjusted the output of the soul power of the Qiankun Barrier, keeping his entire body tucked away, seemingly without any intention of retaliating.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

A series of violent roars echoed through the arena as Zhao Xuanzhen's punches landed, and circles of black and white light spread outwards.

Li Qiankun braced himself with his hands against the Qiankun Cover, his arms, thighs, and facial muscles taut as hard as a sculpture, veins bulging at his temples, and pupils shrunken to their limit.

He appeared so passive, yet he remained half-crouched, motionless, maintaining his two soul skills. Zhao Xuanzhen's gaze darkened; Li Qiankun's ranking above Yu Yuanheng was indeed extraordinary. Every attack that struck the Qiankun Shield brought a recoil force!

The second soul skill of the Qiankun Ball: Qiankun Tremor!

The soul skill effect is similar to Yin-Yang Reversal, but the difference is that Yin-Yang Reversal is a counterattack against ranged attacks, using the opponent's own methods against them, while Qiankun Zhen is a counterattack against melee attacks, making it a god-tier skill for defensive soul masters!

Li Qiankun clenched his teeth, his nerves taut like steel bars.

While Qiankun Zhen can indeed cause counter-injury, it is only possible if Li Qiankun takes the first hit from Zhao Xuanzhen. Tai Chi Chuan carries both fierce and gentle energy, and the combination of strength and gentleness almost made him vomit blood. Any lapse in concentration would lead to instant defeat!

"Unable to defeat Li Qiankun, he truly deserves the title..."

Zhao Xuanzhen suddenly exclaimed that the top three on the list of young geniuses were all monsters, one in ten thousand, and Li Qiankun's defense was the strongest among his peers!

"Golden Awakening only happens once a day, so we can't waste it on you, therefore..."

Compared to Li Qiankun, who ranked third, the top two on the list of young geniuses are Zhao Xuanzhen's hunting targets this time, as he cannot use his True Self Golden Awakening at this moment.

The next second, Li Qiankun heard a cracking sound of bones breaking. He watched as Zhao Xuanzhen turned his wrist, and all the bones in his body, from his wrist to his feet, cracked and popped, as if countless gears were turning and tightly locking all the gaps together!

Body Secret Technique, Battle Bone!

Muscles tighten gradually, bones adjust themselves, the top secret technique of the Body Sect's flesh and blood lineage, the body's strength is further enhanced, a perfect combat form!

"not good!"

Li Qiankun roared and unleashed his third soul skill, the Power of Qiankun. A pale golden halo, twice as intense, covered the Qiankun Shield, and a layer of energy shield pushed outwards!

With a crisp cracking sound, a hand shattered the air shield and emerged from the crack in the Qiankun Shield, striking straight at Li Qiankun's chest!

At the critical moment, Li Qiankun only had time to press the Qiankun Ball to his abdomen to withstand Zhao Xuanzhen's palm strike!

"boom--"

It felt as if Li Qiankun had been hit in the chest by a fixed-position soul-guided cannonball. His sternum and ribs groaned in agony from the unbearable pressure. If Li Qiankun hadn't been a soul master known for his strong defense, this attack would have been enough to make him fall asleep on the spot!

Even so, that magnificent body was still sent flying by the immense force of the palm strike. Just then, Li Qiankun activated his fourth soul ring!

Golden light, like molten lava, poured into his meridians. Li Qiankun's muscles bulged and his skin was coated with a layer of cold metallic light. The moment his feet landed, the icy arena was dented by his feet!

Like the Yin-Yang Reversal, the Qiankun Zhen has a limit to its endurance. Li Qiankun has extensive combat experience and knows that Zhao Xuanzhen in his Battle Bone state has exceeded his defensive limit. Defensive counterattacks are no longer effective, and he must switch from defense to offense!

The fourth soul skill of the Qiankun Ball: Stabilize the Universe!

He poured all the remaining soul power in his body into the Qiankun Sphere, and the gilded bronze sphere transformed into a meteorite that crashed down. Behind the sphere, a dark vortex trailed behind, releasing a powerful suction force as if the universe were reversed, pulling Zhao Xuanzhen's body.

Zhao Xuanzhen clenched his fist with one hand, his first soul ring flashed, black and white energy twisted and intertwined, yin and yang energies condensed into a point, the force resonated, violently tearing a crack open in the suction vortex of the Qiankun Ball!

Beng Jin · Ban Lan Chui!

The vortex of heaven and earth was torn to pieces by the force of the collapse. The copper ball flew backward with a mournful cry. Li Qiankun spat out blood, and his towering body suddenly collapsed.

"Monitor!"

The second-grade class exclaimed and rushed forward. Half of them hurriedly helped Li Qiankun up, while the other half formed a human wall to block Zhao Xuanzhen. Their bloodshot eyes seemed to say: If you want to touch him, you'll have to step over our dead bodies!

"Don't be impulsive, I'm fine..."

Li Qiankun spoke to comfort his classmate, stood up to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said in a deep voice:

"Incomprehensible power... Mo Jue, Yu Yuanheng, and I did not lose unjustly. Class 2-1 will focus on our training and challenge you again after we have made some progress."

Zhao Xuanzhen calmed his mind and restored his soul power, then nodded and said, "I'll be waiting at any time."

With a clasped-fist salute, Li Qiankun led Class 1 of the second grade away in large strides. Above, in the sky, the Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li's eyes gleamed with a strange light.

"In the criteria for judging the list of young geniuses, the combat power of a Soul Master accounts for the highest proportion. Having defeated Li Qiankun in a one-on-one fight, Zhao Xuanzhen will undoubtedly be third in the next list update..."

At this point, Ya Li paused for a moment, then asked with some doubt, "Brother Ming, I think Xuanzhen could fight more decisively. The Qiankun Ball is good at close-range defense. If you control the lightning element to bombard it repeatedly, the Qiankun Ball's defense will no longer be impregnable."

"The logic is correct, but you didn't understand his intentions." Yun Ming ruffled Ya Li's silky green hair and explained, "Lightning defeated the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, aerial combat suppressed the Holy Angel, and ancient martial arts techniques withstood the defense of the Qiankun Sphere."

He always targets his opponent's strongest area head-on, aiming for absolute dominance.

"So sharp, Zhao Xuanzhen..." Ya Li exclaimed in surprise.

"Moreover, that kid fought very cleverly, basically only using his first soul skill. That secret technique for controlling his own bones is far less effective for improving a soul master than the second awakening, and the corresponding consumption is also much less. After the two battles, his soul power did not suffer much loss and was at its peak."

I think that was preparation for the final two opponents, after all, they were not Soul Masters of the same level as Li Qiankun.

On the icy arena, the Shrek Academy students watching the battle were no longer so excited. With Le Zhengyu and Li Qiankun suffering consecutive defeats, coupled with Lan Dianyu Yuanheng's crushing defeat, their gazes toward Zhao Xuanzhen gradually became more respectful.

In Douluo Continent, the strong are respected.

Encouraging voices echoed around Zhao Xuanzhen. Na'er glanced at the unfazed young man on the platform. Through the tear in his clothes left by his secret technique of transforming into wings, a powerful waist was faintly visible. The girl hummed softly:

"Fool Zhao Xuanzhen, he deliberately shows off his waist to seduce young girls."

"Ta, ta, ta."

The noisy Lingbing Square was suddenly filled with the crisp sound of high heels hitting the ground. A long, white leg with a graceful curve stepped onto the arena, her enchanting figure swaying with every step like a flower branch.

The woman had an extremely charming face, with reddish corners of her eyes, full lips, and an upturned curve at the corners of her lips that hinted at endless allure.

Upon seeing the woman's pretty face and voluptuous figure, Na'er's expression changed drastically. She couldn't help but secretly compare herself to the woman, and then stomped her foot in frustration. This time, her age was a disadvantage, and her figure was a complete failure!

"Damn it, fortunes change every three years, never underestimate a poor young woman!"

The silver-haired girl cried out in frustration!

"Second on the list of young geniuses, vice class monitor of Class 1, Grade 3, the enchanting fox Nangong Yao."

The woman's voice was gentle and soft, like a small hand gently caressing the listener's brain. The Shrek Academy students who knew her quickly shook their heads to clear away the voice.

Li Qiankun is the number one defensive-type Soul Master on the list of young geniuses, while Nangong Yao is the number one mental-type Soul Master. Her Martial Soul, the Phantom Fox, has been cultivated to an extremely profound level in terms of charm techniques!

The phantom of the fox swayed like flames, purple upon purple, with five thousand-year-old soul rings blooming wildly, and the pale pink halo at the tip of the fox tail rippled outwards.

A strange peach-colored light appeared in Nangong Yao's eyes. A pink mist spread silently, carrying a sweet and cloying fragrance. Wherever it passed, the wind seemed to lose its strength and stagnate into a viscous airflow.

Combination Soul Skill: Phantom Mist!

Perception is stripped away by 30%, soul power is suppressed by 30%, and movements are slowed by 30%!

"Little brother, the Soul King is not someone you can challenge. The game ends here."

The fox tail exploded into a thousand illusions, its fur steaming with peach-colored mist. Nangong Yao's delicate body danced, and as her fingertips brushed across her neck, her fifth soul skill, Enchanting Fox, was activated.

The mental-type soul skill directly affected the sea of ​​spirit, distorting everything Zhao Xuanzhen saw. The woman's fair arms wrapped around him, her lips and tongue smiled seductively, her breath was fragrant, and she twisted her waist alluringly. Whispers came from all directions, and the enchanting fox spirit left a burning mark on his retina.

Nangong Yao curled her lips into a charming and confident smile, but the smile quickly froze as she saw a pair of eyes that shone with a dazzling golden light, inspiring awe.

The oppressive force poured down like a celestial river. Nangong Yao felt an iron will, channeled through the allure of the fox demon, exerting an even stronger pressure on her.

The whole world seemed to be spinning chaotically. She couldn't distinguish between heaven and earth. Her ears were ringing and her eyes were bloodshot. The phantom mist dissipated like the receding tide, and chaos and pain filled her brain.

It wasn't until a tearing pain shot through her delicate face that Nangong Yao snapped back to reality. Her vision was filled with a fist, the wind from the punch blowing her loose hair.

"You were faking it! You weren't actually under the charm at all!" Nangong Yao said bitterly. "I still have my battle armor..."

"So I'm going to subdue you with one blow."

The golden light slowly faded, and Zhao Xuanzhen spoke frankly.

Mental Corrosion: A mental combat technique created by Han Tianyi, the Illusionary Brain Douluo, stimulates brain activity, causing the user's mental power to surge in a short period of time, and causing the mental sea of ​​the victim to collapse and disintegrate!

In another timeline, Mo Jue and Li Qiankun were creating a complete set of One-Word Battle Armor in their second year of third grade, while Nangong Yao was in her first year of third grade. Zhao Xuanzhen guessed that her One-Word Battle Armor was already more than half completed.

The most compatible one-word battle armor is enough to provide a level 20 soul power boost. Zhao Xuanzhen would never sit idly by and watch Nangong Yao release the battle armor, even if the battle armor is not complete.

Non-spirit-forged metal One-Word Battle Armor has a fatal weakness, requiring Soul Masters to wear it. The best way to deal with a One-Word Battle Armor user is to attack with overwhelming force, preventing them from having time to don the armor.

"Little brother, I'll remember you!"

Nangong Yao's gaze was intense as she swayed her sexy waist as she walked off the icy arena, which ignited Na'er's passion.

Zhao Xuanzhen ignored Nangong Yao and looked at a boy with his arms crossed a hundred meters away. Their eyes met from a distance, and the boy read the emotions conveyed in the boy's eyes, an unyielding and cold determination.

"Tang Dong, are you planning to keep watching?"

"I thought Nangong Yao could win, but I didn't expect her to not even be able to unleash her One-Word Battle Armor." Tang Dong grinned.

In the distance, Nangong Yao's pretty face instantly darkened, and her teeth ground together with a grinding sound.

“Junior Zhao, you recognized me, which proves that you at least know me.”
