Chapitre 516: Chapter 516: The Fool Pays the Price for Arrogance!
Originally, Su Ming thought his sixth soul ring only had a single ability. However, it turned out to have two: one increased total spiritual power, and the other accelerated spiritual power recovery. And this enhancement reached an astounding tenfold increase!
"With this spiritual power boost, you don't need to worry about Hu Liena's charm attacks. Just watch out for the moon blades wielded by her fusion form, Yaomei," Su Ming instructed.
"I'll handle Qian Renxue, while you all take care of Yaomei and the other opponents. Dugu Yan will lead, and I'll deploy my Wood Dragon to support your attacks."
Hu Liena noticed her charm wasn't affecting the Heaven Dou team and shot Su Ming an irritated look—it must have been due to that sixth soul skill of his!
"Qian Renxue, shall we split the battlefield? I'll fight you alone, and let Yaomei and the others handle my teammates," Su Ming offered.
Qian Renxue nodded with a slight smile, "Agreed. I've been wanting to test your strength."
As they moved to the edge of the arena, Yan glared at Su Ming, frustrated yet powerless. He had no choice but to focus on the remaining members of the Heaven Dou team, muttering to himself.
Without waiting for Hu Liena's signal, Yan charged forward.
"Second soul skill, Flame Armor!"
"Fourth soul skill, Lava Eruption!"
Though Yan had boasted earlier, his actions were more cautious. He cast a defensive skill before launching his area attack. The ground split apart, erupting with molten lava, which Yan directed at the Heaven Dou team.
But just as he attacked, he noticed one team member was missing—the agility-type spirit master! Realizing his mistake, he quickly spread lava around to guard against Zhu Zhuqing's potential ambush. Although Yan hadn't watched the Heaven Dou team's previous matches, the Spirit Hall had gathered intelligence: one of Zhu Zhuqing's spirit skills allowed her to disappear briefly. This was why he had cast his Flame Armor first.
Taking advantage of the obscured visibility from Yaomei's red mist, Zhu Zhuqing had used her fourth soul skill, Stealth: Netherworld Abyss, to become invisible. She positioned herself strategically, watching Yan with cold eyes—arrogance, she believed, would have its price. Yan's boasting earlier had clearly irked her.
"Be cautious of Zhu Zhuqing's invisibility!" Hu Liena warned, albeit reluctantly. Yan's behavior had irritated her too. She gave the reminder solely because they were on the same team.
Seeing the field scattered with molten lava, Zhu Zhuqing increased her speed to dodge the attacks.
"External spirit bone, Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear, right paw bone skill: Dark Gold Dreadclaw!"
"Fifth soul skill, Netherworld Slash!"
Both Su Ming and Ghost Douluo, Zhu Zhuqing's mentor, noticed her movements. They both felt a twitch of apprehension—her attack might be overkill! The fifth soul skill already amplified her power fivefold and carried armor-piercing effects, but combining it with the Dark Gold Dreadclaw's skill? She might end Yan in one blow!
In a flash, Zhu Zhuqing's claws slashed deeply into Yan's chest, leaving five gashes down to the bone. Yan was thrown back, gasping as he looked down at his wounds, barely able to comprehend what had just happened.
"Lingling, give him some basic healing so he doesn't accidentally die," Zhu Zhuqing said icily. "I held back, striking across his chest instead of through it. Consider it a lesson for his arrogance—boasting should come with the strength to back it up."
Ye Lingling nodded, her Twin Lotus in hand, casting a healing skill that stopped Yan's bleeding but nothing more. She had no intention of doing anything beyond keeping him alive; she, too, found Yan's arrogance insufferable.
Behind Bibi Dong, Ghost Douluo wiped the sweat from his brow, thankful Zhu Zhuqing had shown restraint. Yan had talent, being taught by a Titled Douluo, but if he had upset Su Ming and Zhu Zhuqing more, he might not survive.
Bibi Dong cast a cold glance at Yan, who lay on the ground, battered and bleeding.
"Get off the battlefield and tend to your wounds. Useless," she said coldly.
Chapitre 517: Chapter 517: Bibi Dong’s Admiration
Yan was escorted away by Spirit Hall members for treatment, casting occasional glances filled with resentment at Zhu Zhuqing. Both Zhu Zhuqing and Su Ming noticed his hateful gaze.
Su Ming thought to himself that Yan might stir up trouble later. After openly targeting him with insults, Yan couldn't be allowed to remain unchecked. Bibi Dong, observing Zhu Zhuqing's right hand and the spirit bone attached to it, commented telepathically, "Ghost Douluo, is that the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear's right-hand spirit bone you mentioned before? Your disciple has impressive potential. As her teacher, guide her well, and I'll handle any concerns regarding Star Luo Empire."
Ghost Douluo, feeling unusually proud, replied, "Yes, Your Holiness!"
Meanwhile, Bibi Dong reflected on Su Ming's reference to the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear, famed as the overlord among bears, and its spirit ring and bone. Truly, it lived up to its title.
Zhu Zhuqing's primary weakness had been a lack of attack power. Even with the system's defensive piercing effect, it wasn't enough—particularly against physical defensive skills like Yan's Flame Armor. But with her fifth spirit skill's powerful attack and armor-piercing effect, paired with her spirit bone skill, Yan's injuries were already a mercy.
Back on the battlefield, Hu Liena dismissed Yan's plight. Without the strength to back up his words, he deserved it. Just as she shifted focus to Dugu Yan's group, Dugu Yan took charge.
"Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, I'll hold off Yaomei. Take down the others quickly. Shi Mo, guard Lingling and Rongrong with the Wood Dragon," Dugu Yan instructed.
In this match, the Heaven Dou team opted for defense-oriented Shi Mo instead of weaker team members like Yu Feng and Oslo, betting on his resilience.
"Yaomei," Dugu Yan said with a sly smile, "we also have poison abilities, you know. Now, while your red mist is useless against us, let's see how you handle mine!"
"First spirit skill, Jade Phosphor Mirage Poison!"
"Second spirit skill, Jade Phosphor Poison Fang!"
Enhanced by the system to a ten-thousand-year level, Dugu Yan's spirit skills released a thick green mist filled with venomous green snakes toward Yaomei. Meanwhile, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing targeted the only support spirit master on the Spirit Hall team.
"Third spirit skill, Teleport!" Xiao Wu flashed next to Xu Yu, the Golden Scepter-wielding support. Xu Yu, determined to help his team, steeled himself as he cast his third skill, Body of Golden Light, sending protective energy toward Yaomei. He poured all his soul power into the skill, hoping it would last against the Jade Phosphor Snake's poison before Xiao Wu's whip kick sent him flying out of the ring.
"Second one down!" Xiao Wu called.
With Xiao Wu dealing with the support, Zhu Zhuqing set her sights on the remaining members. Hu Liena frowned, sensing that the protective golden light cast by Xu Yu was dissipating quickly. If Dugu Yan unleashed her more potent poisons, the protection might only hold for a minute or two.
Yaomei, gripping two sharp moon blades, launched a swift assault on Dugu Yan.
"First spirit skill, Moon Blade Slash!" he roared, closing the distance. Dugu Yan barely dodged, her eyes widening at Yaomei's speed. Although her small snakes barely reached Yaomei before being sliced down by his powerful aura and reflexes, she pressed on.
"Fourth spirit skill, Jade Phosphor Mirage!" This increased her speed by three hundred percent and created five mirage clones.
"Nine Treasures Command: Two, Speed! Four, Defense!" Ning Rongrong cast timely enhancements on Dugu Yan, who deftly avoided Yaomei's attack. But then, with a smirk beneath his mask, Yaomei spun toward Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling.
"Shi Mo, watch out! He's targeting you!" Dugu Yan shouted in alarm.
Shi Mo threw himself in front of Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling, raising his turtle shell as a shield.
"Too late!"
Yaomei's first spirit skill, Moon Blade Slash, combined with his second, Full Moon Defense, allowed him to block Su Ming's Wood Dragon momentarily. With a single powerful blow, he sent Shi Mo tumbling from the arena.
