Douluo: Dragon King's Tai Chi Mystery

Tang Dong shrugged and said helplessly, "I'll be eighteen next month, so I'll automatically drop off the list of young geniuses and easily reach the top. Wouldn't it be better to wait?"

"The first one is won through strength," Zhao Xuanzhen said calmly. "One of the reasons I entered Shrek Academy was to fight you before you turned eighteen."

"I admire your courage. As a third-year senior, to be fair, I won't use my battle armor." Tang Dong slowly stepped onto the arena, his tone flippant.

"What a grand and righteous statement! You broke through to the fifth-ring Soul King level with that martial soul at the age of eighteen. You must have spent all your energy cultivating your soul power. How many battle armors did you make? Are they even half as good as Nangong Yao's?"

"What the hell."

Tang Dong shrugged dejectedly: "I was just trying to pretend, but you saw through my act."

"It's alright to tell you, I only have one breastplate, while Nangong Yao, with eight pieces of battle armor, is still no match for me."

With his martial spirit infused, Tang Dong's arms were covered with diamond-like ice crystals, and his jade-green tail hook was raised high, its tip a shimmering silver-white hook, unleashing boundless cold energy!

"Junior, the future is yours, but the present belongs to me."

Purple, purple, purple, black, black!

Five spirit rings rose fiercely, revealing Tang Dong, ranked first on the list of young geniuses, with the spirit Ice Jade Scorpion!

Chapter 49 Yin-Yang Reversal VS Wrath of Extreme Ice: The Future Is Mine, and So Is the Present (4K)

Ice Jade Scorpion, one of the overlords of the far north, is a race ruled by the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, one of the ten ferocious beasts. Its members are born with extreme ice power!

Compared to Li Qiankun and Nangong Yao, Tang Dong's pressure was astonishing, like a mountain collapsing and a sea devouring. With just a simple martial soul possession, a layer of coldness spread in all directions, and the icy arena instantly became as hard as iron!

Facing the ultimate ice that was renowned throughout the Douluo Continent ten thousand years ago, Zhao Xuanzhen gave it the highest level of attention. He lowered his body slightly, and his skin was tinged with a golden light that gathered into a dazzling golden glass armor. Under the blazing sun, he looked like a god reborn from the ashes.

True Self, Golden Awakening!

"Has your true form's martial soul finally awakened for the second time? Are you finally willing to use it?"

Tang Dong put away his playful expression and became serious. It was clear that Zhao Xuanzhen had put pressure on him. The second awakening was the foundation for the strength of the main body's martial soul. For a main body soul master, it was a complete transformation and evolution!

With his second soul ring lit up after a thousand years, Tang Dong's hands grew hexagonal diamond ice crystals. His Ice Jade Scorpion's second soul skill, Ice Jade Claw, provided powerful defensive capabilities with its diamond ice crystals, making his palms as indestructible as the ancient ice of the far north.

The two opposing figures moved simultaneously, and two beams of light, one golden and one emerald green, shot straight toward each other. A storm swept across the sky and earth, and the Shrek Academy students watching nearby unconsciously raised their heads, their clothes fluttering, and couldn't help but retreat again and again!

"boom--"

A simple, unadorned exchange of punches ignited the battle between the new and old kings. Their fists soared into the sky, their bodies repelled by the powerful shockwaves. Half a second after separating, they collided again, their fists and palms clashing so fast that no one could see it clearly. All that could be heard bystanders was the deafening blast that seemed to tear their eardrums apart!

The two approached, separated, and approached again, colliding head-on countless times, sparks flying and flying everywhere in the air.

Zhao Xuanzhen's eyes shone with a color more brilliant than the sun, and dark golden blades extended from the tips of his ten fingers. Where the blades passed, the air cracked and twisted with winding black marks!

Dark gold terror claw!

Both the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and the Ice Jade Scorpion are among the top ten ferocious beast races, standing at the pinnacle of the soul beast pyramid. Tang Dong, feeling a surge of competitive spirit, advanced instead of retreating, his Ice Jade Claw meeting the attack head-on. The signature soul skills of the two races clashed heavily, the Ice Crystal Claw Pincers and the Dark Gold Terrorclaw clashing, producing a resounding clang of metal striking metal.

"Ah-"

The icy mist exploded on the Ice Jade Scorpion's pincers, and the extreme ice was shattered by the dark gold claws. The remaining force forced Tang Dong back three steps, and deep ravines cracked in the icy arena beneath his feet.

"In terms of strength... I actually lost!?"

Tang Dong's heart sank. The Ice Jade Scorpion was famous for its extreme ice and its superhuman strength was also a symbol of the Ice Jade Scorpion clan. But today, the numerical monster had encountered an even more outrageous numerical monster.

The brute force unleashed by the fusion of Tai Chi Yang Hand, Golden Awakening, and two top-grade external soul bones surpassed that of the number one on the young genius list!

"Junior, you've angered me."

Shaking his numb arms, Tang Dong's eyes were filled with fierce malice, and endless coldness spread, his aura rising like a ferocious dragon.

Seeing this, the Shrek Academy students, who had long been suppressed by the tyrannical power of the Ice Jade Scorpion, trembled with fear and said:

"Tang Dong was furious! That's the Ice Jade Scorpion! The second spirit of Huo Yuhao, the Spirit Ice Douluo, was the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion... Only the ultimate ice can truly demonstrate the power of the Ice Jade Scorpion!"

"It's just an ancient martial spirit from ten thousand years ago. What's so scary about it? Zhao Xuanzhen will kill it!"

Upon hearing this, Na'er scoffed. She didn't care how strong the Extreme Ice was; she unconditionally supported her childhood sweetheart!

Tang Dong gave a low shout, and a biting wind suddenly howled, with goose feather snow falling from the sky, covering an area so wide that it enveloped the entire Lingbing Square!

Ice Jade Scorpion's third soul skill: Extreme Ice Blizzard!

In an instant, the world became an ocean of ice, with blizzards raging and sharp ice shards flying wildly. The extreme low temperature of the ice covered Zhao Xuanzhen's golden, sculpted body with a layer of crystal-clear frost.

In the frigid realm of extreme ice and blizzard, golden eyes and emerald green eyes stared at each other from afar, one burning with fighting spirit, the other with furious rage!

"The character 'Kan' signifies mysterious ice."

Zhao Xuanzhen held out his palms, a flash of deep blue light appearing in his eyes. Nine icy blue beams of light soared upwards and coalesced into a wild dragon shape. The ice dragon absorbed the power of extreme cold to build its scales, and its eyes pulsed with chilling icy flames!

For whom does the blizzard begin?

The dragon's roar shook the heavens and the earth. Under Tang Dong's incredulous and stunned gaze, nine ice dragons coiled into a formation, drawing down blizzard ice blades from the sky, all attacking the Ice Jade Scorpion who was questioning his existence!

The ten-thousand-year-old soul ring shone brightly, and a hexagonal ice crystal armor appeared on Tang Dong's body, with flowing ice patterns, which withstood the Nine Dragons Profound Ice!

Ice Jade Scorpion's fourth soul skill: Frost Protection!

The ice armor crackled and splintered under the immense pressure, yet remained intact, demonstrating the formidable defense of the Ice Jade Scorpion. Taking advantage of the situation, Tang Dong broke through, a blue icy plant appearing on his right shoulder. His first spirit ring shone, and an icy blue halo expanded outwards, drawing ice elements towards him at an astonishing speed!

"Mystic Ice Grass..."

Zhao Xuanzhen revealed the true nature of the plant in one sentence: the Soul-Spirit Mystic Ice Grass, a youthful version of the Immortal-grade Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass!

Due to the presence of Seagod Lake and Spirit Ice Fountain, Shrek Academy was already damp. The Xuanbing Grass greatly amplified Tang Dong's first soul skill, Ice Source Condensation. The ice elements within a radius of 100 meters flowed into the sea like rivers flowing into the sea, forming an ice-blue vortex that poured into his body, causing his aura to rise steadily!

The era of Dragon King Legend has a significant advantage over the previous two eras: Soul Spirits assist Soul Masters in battle. Tang Dong's ability to cultivate his ultimate Martial Soul to a five-ring Soul King before the age of eighteen is also largely due to the contribution of his first Soul Spirit, the Mystic Ice Grass!

"Ice, I reign supreme!"

The dark blue light of the Bagua Qimen grew stronger, and the Kan position shone brightly. The ice attribute energy summoned by Tang Dong and Xuanbingcao suddenly stopped, then came to an abrupt halt and rushed towards Zhao Xuanzhen without looking back!

A jaw-dropping scene suddenly unfolded on the battlefield: the original Soul Master and the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Master were vying for control of the ice attribute, and the so-called Ice Emperor, the Ultimate Ice, was actually at a disadvantage!

"My ice...why!"

Tang Dong practically spat out those words through gritted teeth. The ice elemental, which he used to command with ease, now showed unprecedented resistance, as if a servant had encountered a more authoritative deity and no longer cared about the imposter, the Ice Jade Scorpion!

High in the sky, Yun Ming and Ya Li looked at each other, seeing the shock and horror in each other's eyes. They could never have predicted that the familiar script would repeat itself.

Following his aerial combat that brought down the Holy Angel, his close-quarters combat against the Qiankun Ball, and his breakthrough in mental power against the Phantom Fox, Zhao Xuanzhen suppressed the Ice Jade Scorpion in terms of ice attribute!

The massive ice element that had condensed from the ice source betrayed its former master and coalesced into a majestic and powerful ice dragon. With a resounding roar, the dragon swooped down, causing the entire ice arena to collapse and reveal the bluestone-paved ground beneath!

Ice shards scattered and flew everywhere. Tang Dong's figure emerged from the cold dust. He ripped off his frozen sleeve, revealing lifelike ice-green scorpion patterns on his arm. Then, the frost protection could not withstand the pressure and shattered into tiny ice crystals, revealing the flesh and blood that had been frostbitten by the cold.

"Frostbite... Hahaha, frostbite!"

Tang Dong turned his head to look at the bone-chilling injury and couldn't help but laugh out loud. For an ultimate ice soul master to be injured by ice attributes was simply the most ridiculous thing ever!

The next moment, the bluestone ground collapsed, and the cracks that suddenly appeared caved in like a landslide. The ground was shattered by an unimaginable force. Tang Dong was like a phantom rushing by, his pair of emerald green eyes filled with blood!

Since awakening his Ice Jade Scorpion Martial Soul, he has grown up amidst praise from his elders and compliments from his peers. With his ultimate ice attribute, fighting opponents of higher levels is commonplace for him. Tang Dong has consistently defeated stronger opponents, rising to the top of the list of young geniuses, making him the undisputed number one young genius on the continent.

Tang Dong could not accept that despite having a two-tier advantage in soul power, he was still defeated by a junior who was almost eight years younger. To him, it was a disgrace worse than death, and he was unwilling to become a stepping stone for the other party to reach the top!

At the same time, it was as if a golden sun enveloped him. Zhao Xuanzhen stood in the glorious sun wheel like a Vajra descending to earth. His body was like transparent crystal, his bones clasped together loudly, and a large amount of steam gushed out, making a buzzing sound like a steam whistle!

Third Soul Skill: The Way of Limitless!

Body Secret Technique, Battle Bone!

The new king wants to replace the old king and ascend the throne, but the old king is unwilling to give up the throne. The war between the two is a war between kings, and also a bloody battle between monsters. Neither side shows any weakness or retreat!

A series of sparks erupted as the dark gold claws and the icy scorpion pincers clashed. Within the cracks they traversed, golden embers and emerald ice marrow continued their silent battle. Without a sound, a jade-green scorpion tail emerged from Tang Dong's coccyx, its hook gleaming like a shooting star, and stabbed fiercely towards Zhao Xuanzhen's back!

Scorpions were originally one of the Five Poisons. The Ice Jade Scorpion clan pursued the ultimate in ice and abandoned the path of cultivating deadly poison. However, the scorpion's tail contained the bone-chilling coldness of ultimate ice. Tang Dong believed that as long as the scorpion stung, allowing the ultimate ice to invade Zhao Xuanzhen's body, even with a golden-level physical spirit, he would instantly lose his ability to fight!

"Chong-"

Black and white wings burst forth from its back, their edges as sharp as guillotines. The wings overlapped and gripped the long tail of the Ice Jade Scorpion. The wings flipped in mid-air, a flash of cold light, and the tail hook separated from the scorpion's tail, causing it to fall to the ground with a thud!

Tang Dong suffered a severe injury, spitting out a mouthful of bright red blood. His strength was greatly reduced. Zhao Xuanzhen would not miss such an opportunity. He used his Qi to transform mountains and rivers into a Tai Chi diagram, and used Yin and Yang Qi to blast Tang Dong away in one fell swoop!

Almost all the students from the outer academy came to Lingbing Square, which was packed with people, their eyes fixed on the battlefield, completely absorbed in watching the battle.

The entire arena fell silent. Most of the spectators stared blankly, cold sweat beading on their backs. Was the number one spot on the list of young geniuses really going to be taken?!

Tang Dong, who was just one month away from turning eighteen, was dragged off his throne in the most pathetic way at the last moment!

"I haven't lost yet!"

Spitting out a glob of scarlet blood, Tang Dong stood up, clutching his chest. The way he gritted his teeth and sucked the blood resembled an old lion locked in a corner, fighting desperately!

The final, ten-thousand-year-old fifth spirit ring bloomed, and Tang Dong's eyes, dimmed by serious injuries, were rekindled with fire. His blood boiled again, and his entire body was dyed a dazzling emerald green, with cold, jade-like light spots condensing on his chest!

Ice Jade Scorpion's fifth soul skill: Extreme Ice Fury!

Extreme Ice Fury, the most powerful ranged attack soul skill of the Ice Jade Scorpion. Ancient records state that the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's evolved Ice Emperor Fury is enough to freeze a thousand miles!

"Not enough, I want to be stronger!"

Tang Dong let out a beast-like roar, and a gleaming emerald armor was outlined in the center of his chest. The chilling howl echoed, and the intense cold seemed to freeze the heavens and earth!

One-word battle armor, chest armor!

After breaking through to the third-ring Soul Master level, the cultivation speed of the ultimate martial soul became extremely slow. Despite the assistance of the Xuanbing Grass, Tang Dong could hardly spare the energy to make battle armor, so he only had one piece of battle armor.

This one-word battle armor will accompany Tang Dong for a long time. The choice of the chest area was to amplify the Ice Jade Scorpion's fifth soul skill, Extreme Ice Fury, which is the most powerful attack launched from the chest!

With the enhancement of the battle armor, a turquoise beam of light burst forth, causing the surrounding air to instantly freeze. A flash of turquoise light followed, and under the extreme cold of ice, a white ice pillar appeared in the void, forming a chilling ice passage!

Yin and Yang reversed, enveloping Zhao Xuanzhen. The moment the Fury of Extreme Ice struck the black and white vortex, the pillar of light spun continuously along the airflow. Tang Dong roared, his features contorted in fury, frantically channeling all his soul power into his chest. The emerald pillar of Fury of Extreme Ice expanded and expanded again!

This attack had already pushed the limits of Yin-Yang reversal to their limit, and the black and white vortex cracked open like a spiderweb. Zhao Xuanzhen's face remained expressionless as a lovable figure stepped forward—the Spirit Water Capybara appeared, plunging headfirst into the black and white vortex under countless gazes!

Soul Spirit Infusion: The absolute fusion of the soul spirit and the soul skill imbues the soul skill with a soul!

The fusion of the Lingrui capybara repaired the rift of Yin and Yang reversal. When the emerald light pillar touched the vortex, it was like a mud ox sinking into the sea. Then, Zhao Xuanzhen held up the sky with both hands, and the extreme ice rage was reversed!

"As time changes and stars shift, all rivers flow into one!"

With his soul power exhausted, the light on Tang Dong's chest went out. He stared blankly as the masterpiece that had surpassed his limits hurtled through the air and attacked, powerless to resist any longer.

Just before the Fury of Extreme Ice touched Tang Dong, Zhao Xuanzhen clenched his five fingers, and a pillar of emerald light shot towards the sky. The emerald light soared into the sky and froze the heavens. The clouds turned into a curtain of ice crystals, refracting seven-colored aurora, and countless ice crystals fell from the sky.

Tang Dong stood alone, looking up at the frozen sky, his eyes filled with a mixture of frustration and self-mockery.

On this arena, which appears to have no referees to protect it, if the Yin-Yang Reversal fails to reverse the direction, even the mighty Ice Jade Scorpion Soul King could be completely devoured by the power of extreme ice.

He was the one who voluntarily gave up his battle armor before the battle started, he was the one who put on the battle armor when he was forced to, he was the one who uttered arrogant words, and now he is the one who suffered a crushing defeat.

Tang Dong knew that he had lost not only the top spot on the list of young geniuses, but also shattered his arrogant heart.

As the rays of the setting sun slowly faded, the enormous sun disc sank into the depths, turning the icy clouds in the sky the color of flames. A silver-haired girl's clear cheers rang out from the crowd, along with exclamations of amazement and admiration from the Shrek Academy students.

Under the orange-red sunset, the two brushed past each other, and a very soft yet resounding voice drifted in the evening breeze.

"The future is mine, and so is the present."

Tai Chi master Zhao Xuanzhen tops the list of young geniuses!

Chapter 50: Leng Yaozhu, a mother figure; Xuanlong Street; My genius will never fall (4K)

"go home!"

As night fell, Na'er gazed at the eight-sided tower that soared into the clouds, her pretty face beaming with a silly, happy expression, her silver hair falling in the evening breeze.

Beside her, Zhao Xuanzhen smiled. The Spirit Pagoda was also his home. After being away for more than two months, he had done many important things that would change the future, and he could finally go home for a short rest.

The two took the high-rise elevator directly to the 100th floor, where Leng Yaozhu was sitting on the sofa waiting for their return.

The crimson dress clung to her body, outlining her perfectly sculpted curves. Her long, slender legs extended gracefully from below, and her skin was as delicate and firm as a baby's. Under the glow of the room's ambient lighting, a hazy light emanated from her.

"Aunt Leng!"

Upon seeing Leng Yaozhu, Na'er let out a howl and pounced on him, burying her little head in the magnificent chest of the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo.

"teacher."

Zhao Xuanzhen sat down opposite Leng Yaozhu with a smile. Na'er had benefited greatly from her gender, but as a legitimate disciple, she was too shy to be affectionate with her teacher.

"Two troublesome little ones."

Leng Yaozhu gently stroked the girl's long silver hair, chuckled softly, and then asked, "How was your day? Did anyone at Shrek Academy bully you?"

"It's not so much bullying, but the Shrek Academy elders, teachers, and students are practically cut from the same cloth!" Na'er complained, hugging Leng Yaozhu. "The elders poach people, the teachers brainwash them, and the students break their contracts!"

By the way, Aunt Leng, Zhao Xuanzhen tortured the top four on the list of young geniuses one by one. In the next ranking update, he'll be number one on the list, the number one Soul Master under eighteen on the continent!
