Capítulo 90: Chapter 90: Zhou Yi: If I Make a Move, You Won’t Stand a Chance
However, under the overwhelming power of the sea controlled by Bo Saixi, he stood no chance. After a fierce battle lasting the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Qian Daoliu was ultimately defeated.
"The High Priestess is truly formidable. I concede defeat!"
Qian Daoliu admitted his loss decisively, without hesitation.
In truth, he understood:
If this had taken place inland rather than on Sea God Island, without the empowerment of the ocean's force, Bo Saixi might not have been his equal.
"Thank you for going easy on me," Bo Saixi responded, neither overbearing nor boastful. She, too, knew that her victory hinged on the home-field advantage of the sea. Away from Sea God Island, she might not be able to overpower him.
Defeating Qian Daoliu was enough to regain her dignity, but she had no illusions about capturing or keeping him here.
At this moment, Tang Chen of the Clear Sky Clan stepped forward, hefting his massive hammer.
"High Priestess Bo Saixi, I request your guidance!"
He advanced like a peacock spreading its tail feathers, showcasing his "magnificence" in hopes of capturing the attention and admiration of the High Priestess.
"See? The High Priestess is invincible! Even if you take turns, none of you stand a chance!" Xiao Bai declared smugly upon seeing Qian Daoliu's defeat.
"Actions speak louder than words," Zhou Yi countered with a calm shake of his head. "Once I defeat Bo Saixi, you'll understand how strong I truly am."
"Keep dreaming!"
Before Xiao Bai could retort, Sea Maiden Douluo rolled her eyes at Zhou Yi. "Just don't embarrass yourself by failing to take even one blow."
"Ha, as if I'd lose to those two old fellows," Zhou Yi replied disdainfully, casting a glance at the battle between Tang Chen and Bo Saixi.
Tang Chen's strength surpassed Qian Daoliu's, particularly his final move: the Great Xu Mi Hammer. This technique stunned countless Sea Soul Masters on Sea God Island.
"So terrifying!" Xiao Bai shuddered as a chilling aura swept through her.
If that hammer were to strike her, it might very well smash her head into oblivion.
The Great Xu Mi Hammer was a divine technique that condensed all of one's soul rings into a singular entity, channeling them into the hammer to create unparalleled power and pure destructive force.
It amplified one's strength geometrically, breaking through all limits to unleash a power far beyond one's own Soul Power.
This overwhelming strength crushed all techniques, rendering even the most intricate soul skills and strategies ineffective against the pure might of the Clear Sky Hammer.
Yet Bo Saixi could wield the power of the ocean itself.
Though Tang Chen's Great Xu Mi Hammer was immensely powerful, it wasn't strong enough to contend with the oceanic force at Bo Saixi's disposal.
Thus, Tang Chen, too, was ultimately defeated.
Despite his loss, Tang Chen felt a hint of admiration in Bo Saixi's gaze, which filled him with elation.
And he wasn't mistaken.
After battling Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu, Bo Saixi came to understand their respective strengths.
Like her, Qian Daoliu's ascension to Rank 99 relied on divine bestowal.
Tang Chen, however, had reached this pinnacle entirely on his own.
Women admire strength, and Bo Saixi was no exception.
Thus, she held little regard for Qian Daoliu but admired Tang Chen, who had relied on his own efforts to attain Rank 99.
Exhausted yet content, Tang Chen shot a triumphant glance at Qian Daoliu.
As a Rank 99 Pinnacle Douluo, Qian Daoliu's sensitivity was unparalleled. He could sense that Bo Saixi seemed more impressed by Tang Chen, and it was natural that her heart might waver after witnessing the brilliance of Tang Chen's Great Xu Mi Hammer.
"Don't celebrate too soon. The winner isn't decided yet," Qian Daoliu sneered inwardly.
Winning over a woman wasn't just about strength.
Though Tang Chen currently held an advantage, Qian Daoliu believed that with effort, he could still surpass Tang Chen and capture Bo Saixi's heart, perhaps even fathering a child blessed by the Angel God with her.
"Hahaha, finally, it's my turn!"
A hearty laugh broke the tense atmosphere.
Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu's expressions shifted instantly.
They had nearly forgotten about the monstrous anomaly that was Zhou Yi.
And Zhou Yi was, without a doubt, a shameless rascal.
Faced with a beauty like Bo Saixi, how could Zhou Yi remain indifferent?
As for the fact that Bo Saixi was much older than Zhou Yi?
The Ling Yuan Douluo was two full cycles older than Zhou Yi!
Zhou Yi didn't care about such things in the slightest.
"Damn it!"
"This time, we've run into a formidable foe!"
Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen's expressions grew heavy. Zhou Yi wasn't just stronger than them; he was also younger and more handsome.
After carefully analyzing the situation, they realized that apart from being older than Zhou Yi, they had no other advantages.
凸(艸皿艸)!
The two nearly spat blood from frustration. They felt utterly defeated.
"Little Bai, Sea Maiden, keep your eyes wide open."
Zhou Yi patted Little Bai's sleek fish head before standing up.
Without activating his martial soul, he took a single step and rose into the air. His movements were effortless and ethereal, as if an immortal descending upon the world.
"Gasp! Such speed!"
Sea Maiden Douluo was stunned. Zhou Yi had stood on Little Bai's back just moments ago. Watching him approach Bo Saixi, it didn't seem particularly fast, yet he arrived before her in an instant, as if shrinking the distance between them in a single step.
Even Bo Saixi herself was inwardly astonished.
Zhou Yi's display of the unparalleled lightness skill, Graceful Ascent to Immortality, immediately captured everyone's attention.
As he moved, Zhou Yi seemed to stroll leisurely, his every step exuding an immortal air. To onlookers, it appeared unhurried, but in reality, it was akin to compressing the earth beneath his feet, surpassing even the speed of sound.
However, the true energy surrounding him dispersed the air quietly, preventing sonic booms or even gusts of wind from forming.
"Once again, he's showing off!"
Qian Daoliu gritted his teeth. He had seen Zhou Yi's Ascending Immortal Steps before, yet every time, it left him in awe.
"This guy's speed is truly terrifying!"
Little Bai was surprised but less shaken than the others. After all, Zhou Yi was faster than her even underwater—on land, it was a foregone conclusion.
In the next moment, brilliant gray-blue light radiated from her sleek, streamlined body.
Strangely, her form began to shrink rapidly within the glow.
In mere moments, she transformed into a tall young woman.
Her height was nearly on par with Zhou Yi's.
Ordinarily, such a height for a woman might seem ungainly, but her proportions were nothing short of perfect.
Dressed in a tight, white leather outfit that accentuated her exquisite figure, every curve seemed to radiate allure.
Her long gray-blue hair flowed down her back, reaching the ground like a waterfall, reminiscent of Xiao Wu's free-falling tresses.
Her eyes, too, were a striking gray-blue, while her alabaster skin carried a faint glow of the same hue.
With a high nose bridge and sharp, chiseled features, her face was uniquely captivating, exuding an exotic charm that was utterly mesmerizing.
Standing before Bo Saixi, Zhou Yi seemed to sense something and glanced back at Little Bai. With a playful wink, he smiled and remarked,
"Little Bai, I didn't expect you to be such a stunning beauty!"
"Hmph!"
Little Bai snorted coldly, though a trace of delight flickered in her heart.
Still, recalling the indignity of Zhou Yi riding on her back, she snapped angrily,
"High Priestess, punish this scoundrel severely for me!"
Bo Saixi ignored Little Bai's plea. Her deep blue eyes assessed Zhou Yi, and she spoke,
"I can sense that your soul is very young—not more than thirty years old."
While she, Tang Chen, and Qian Daoliu appeared youthful, their true ages were far from what their appearances suggested.
But Zhou Yi was genuinely young.
"Twenty-three this year," Zhou Yi replied, his gaze also taking in Bo Saixi.
"The High Priestess looks equally youthful—and exceptionally beautiful, with unparalleled grace!"
"Young people truly brim with energy!"
Bo Saixi's faint smile carried a hint of amusement as she said,
"Come, let me see if your strength matches your confidence!"
"Ladies first, High Priestess," Zhou Yi replied with a relaxed smile, raising the Frost-Defying Sword in his left hand. His deep eyes glimmered as he added,
"Once I make a move, the High Priestess won't have another chance to act."
