Chapter 523: Chapter 523: Such a Familiar Technique - Circular Dance!

Why did Su Ming suspect this? Because Xiao Wu knew Rankyaku, Zhuqing's skill could break defenses, and Ning Rongrong had a talent for mental strength. All these made Su Ming believe that Qian Renxue had probably received some special talent, technique, or skill from the system too.

System: Oh, damn… you guessed right…

In the next moment, Su Ming aimed the Wood Golem's right hand at Qian Renxue, launching a barrage of wooden spikes.

"Wood Style: Cutting Technique!"

Su Ming fired the wood spikes from his right hand in rapid succession, using his left hand to steady his aim. It looked like he was wielding a Gatling gun, a visually spectacular attack! Qian Renxue, however, remained unfazed. Su Ming's attack was dense, and an ordinary evasion might have left her with some wounds. But she was different.

"Second Spirit Skill: Void Wings!"

Golden light surrounded Qian Renxue, enveloping her in a state of intangibility. In this form, she was completely immune to physical attacks and could nullify fifty percent of energy attacks, all while enjoying a twenty percent boost in speed. The skill's duration was determined by her spirit power.

Casting a quick glance at Xiao Wu, Qian Renxue's eyes held a hint of smugness. See? My second spirit skill works just like your Invincible Golden Body—just with an added boost!

Xiao Wu met Qian Renxue's gaze with a defiant scowl.

In an instant, the numerous wooden spikes passed straight through Qian Renxue's intangible form, failing to hit their target.

Su Ming: Wait… this is her second spirit skill?

He was stunned. Why didn't she use this incredible spirit skill back in the Heaven Dou Palace arc? It's such a wasted skill if she didn't use it against Tang San back then!

Su Ming smirked. Fine, two can play at this game.

Qian Renxue's skill, while formidable, likely had limitations. Typically, spirit skills like this are bound by time, frequency, or spirit power consumption constraints. And three seconds later, with her second skill still active, Su Ming deduced that it was indeed a spirit power-intensive technique.

Great. Let's see who can outlast whom.

Su Ming's second and third spirit skills allowed him to recover spirit power quickly, so he wasn't worried about an endurance match. Besides, while her skill was tricky, it had a glaring drawback: Qian Renxue couldn't attack in her intangible state.

Realizing this too, Qian Renxue mentally chastised herself. Su Ming's methods focused on endurance, especially with his Wood Style's regenerative abilities and spirit power reserves. If I keep this up, I'll lose.

She used the speed boost from her second spirit skill to dodge the wooden spikes while planning her counter.

"Angel Right Arm Spirit Bone Skill: Angel Clone!"

In a flash, three solid six-winged angels appeared, taking Su Ming's attacks head-on while positioning themselves to surround him in a triangle formation.

"Third Spirit Skill: Holy Angel's Light!"

This was her only healing skill, capable of restoring ninety percent of her injuries. Any damage she'd taken was now almost entirely healed.

Su Ming chuckled.

"Su Ming, you're surrounded now. Is that Wood Golem all you've got? Show me what else you can do!" Qian Renxue's confidence surged, feeling as though she had the upper hand.

But Su Ming, skilled in recognizing subtle details due to his powerful mental abilities, quickly identified which of the three clones were fakes.

"Let's test this out then… 'Life to Death—Transformation!'"

The two false angel clones were suddenly enveloped in a black aura, their forms starting to dissolve gradually. Though Qian Renxue was stronger than her previous opponents, Su Ming's destructive power wasn't something they could withstand indefinitely.

The drawn-out dissolution looked horrific to the onlookers.

Watching her clones disintegrate, Qian Renxue frowned. Her clones had nearly matched her strength, and the divine aura of the Six-Winged Angel was usually impervious to such effects. This technique is terrifying…

With a deep breath, Qian Renxue dismissed the dissolving clones. Her Angelic Sword gleamed, her aura intensifying. She was ready to unleash her Sun Breathing techniques. If Su Ming found her moves familiar, well, that wasn't her problem—it was the system's doing.

System: Ah…

Sensing the shift in Qian Renxue's energy and the radiant flames surrounding her Angelic Sword, Su Ming's eyes widened. Is she finally about to use it?

Her breathing technique felt strikingly familiar to him, yet he couldn't immediately place it.

"Sun Breathing—First Form: Circular Dance!"

With a sudden burst of speed, Qian Renxue closed in on Su Ming, slashing at him with a radiant flame-wreathed arc. The moment Su Ming recognized the attack, his pupils contracted. This move—Sun Breathing's Circular Dance—was something he knew all too well from his previous life, a signature technique of Tanjiro Kamado!


Chapter 524: Chapter 524: Majestic Armor and the Susanoo Longsword

Isn't this Tanjiro's Sun Breathing from that incredibly popular anime in my previous life? Su Ming thought, recognizing the technique immediately.

He vividly remembered the hype surrounding that series when it aired, the explosive popularity but also the deep sorrows in that tragic world. Now, to his surprise, Qian Renxue was using techniques he was so familiar with. Her substitution of the Angelic Sword for the Nichirin Blade was surprisingly effective, too.

Of course, the power structures of these two worlds were vastly different. While Douluo was a little low in the power rankings of its fantasy world, it still outmatched the Demon Slayer universe. Naturally, Qian Renxue's Sun Breathing techniques also gained a notable power boost.

That damn system, what can it possibly say for itself now?

"System, Qian Renxue's Sun Breathing is one of your little gifts, isn't it? Care to spin me a story while I fight her?" Su Ming asked silently.

The system, hesitantly: Ahem… well, host, perhaps it's just a coincidence?

Su Ming: Heh!

Still somewhat taken aback by her first strike, Su Ming blocked Qian Renxue's blow with his Wood Golem's right hand. But before he could react, Qian Renxue struck again!

"Sun Breathing: Second Form, Clear Blue Sky!"

Her Angelic Sword swept upward in a circular slash aimed at his Wood Golem, and with two swift attacks, she sliced through its forearm. The wood's resistance to the Angelic Flame was lacking—a rare vulnerability for Su Ming's defenses. However, after putting some distance between himself and Qian Renxue, Su Ming's Golem quickly regenerated the severed limb.

"Did you see that? Qian Renxue just went all out, using two unheard-of techniques to slice through Su Ming's Wood Golem's arm!"

"Yeah, pretty incredible… but did you see Su Ming's expression? He barely looked surprised; he probably has more up his sleeve."

Su Ming feigned nonchalance, calling over to Qian Renxue, "Qian Renxue, are these moves something you came up with yourself? What are they called?"

He carefully observed her response. Without hesitation, she replied, "Yes, I created these techniques myself. The first is called 'Circular Dance,' and the second is 'Clear Blue Sky.' I still have ten more of them—think you can handle that?"

Despite her confident tone, Qian Renxue felt a bit nervous. After all, the system provided her with these techniques, so they were basically hers to name as she pleased, right?

Su Ming: You didn't even bother to change the names… way too obvious!

System: She's usually clever—why pick now to lose her wits? It's over… maybe I should just come clean.

Looking from the Wood Golem's hand to Qian Renxue's Angelic Sword, Su Ming understood that Sun Breathing not only amplified the fire attribute of the Six-Winged Angel but also concentrated it on her blade. No wonder his Wood Golem's arm had been sliced off so easily.

He then recalled Qian Renxue's reputed attraction to strength, wondering if dominating her in combat might inspire other, more personal feelings. Though he'd declared he saw her as a sister and friend, who wouldn't dream of having a close bond with a strong, beautiful woman, especially one without any blood relation? The notion was tempting.

After all, once he joined Spirit Hall, he could relocate Grandpa Jack and his loved ones there, ensuring their safety. There'd be no reason to hold back his power anymore—he could finally unleash it fully.

Qian Renxue sensed the shift in Su Ming's aura as though he'd shed a restraint, and the air around them grew palpably tense. Her gaze settled on his eyes—his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.

Those eyes, radiating an oppressive force, made her heart race uncontrollably, a feeling of fear creeping into her chest.

Watching Su Ming open his eyes, Dugu Bo sensed something was amiss. Didn't he say he wouldn't use his eye abilities during this fight? But then he realized that, given Qian Renxue's unique strengths, Su Ming was probably compelled to use his Sharingan.

However, Dugu Bo didn't know that while Qian Renxue's power did pose a challenge, it wasn't so overwhelming that Su Ming needed his Mangekyo. He simply wanted to rattle her a bit. Relying solely on Wood Release wouldn't suffice—summoning his Great Buddha would be overkill for the cramped arena space, after all.

Majestic Armor: Wood Golem!

Su Ming's eyes flashed, and a layer of translucent blue armor appeared over the Wood Golem's body—an application of Susanoo to enhance the Wood Golem's defenses. Qian Renxue's Angelic Flames now had almost no effect against it.

The spectators were still processing their shock when they saw a blue longsword form in the Wood Golem's right hand. The blade, while massive, didn't look like a traditional sword, having a shape closer to a katana. Su Ming thought it resembled a Tang Sword from his past life, perhaps even reminiscent of a Nichirin Blade, though much larger.

Everyone present was speechless at Su Ming's transformation; his entire aura had changed. He now exuded a stifling pressure, a sense of foreboding that hadn't been there before.

Dugu Bo groaned. Although this was his first time seeing Su Ming's Majestic Armor, that blue energy unmistakably resembled the Susanoo he'd witnessed previously. The memory of that battle was still fresh in his mind. Was Su Ming about to cut down Qian Renxue?

The hidden Tang Hao, observing the clash from afar, also sensed something ominous. His suspicions of Yu Yuanzhen's possible demise only grew as he watched Su Ming's Susanoo form. If Yu Yuanzhen did encounter Su Ming and Dugu Bo, perhaps he didn't survive.

In his heart, Tang Hao had always scorned Yu Yuanzhen for leaving Su Ming and Dugu Bo alive after obtaining a skill, but now he wondered if Yu Yuanzhen had even had a choice.
