Bab 114: Chapter 114: "Just a Slight Move, and That’s Already Your Limit!"
Chapter 114: "Just a Slight Move, and That's Already Your Limit!"
The two young women and the elegant lady all looked at Kong with eyes full of pity.
This poor boy (young man, handsome guy) – how unfortunate.
The mutation of his martial soul must have dealt him a heavy blow, right?
Could this be why he married so early, rather than continuing his education at the academy?
As Shui Yuer thought of this, she felt a little touched. She decided to go easy on him, allowing Kong to lose "on equal terms" and fulfill his dream of becoming a soul master.
No wonder he didn't reveal his soul power level – he's insecure!
Kong: "..."
Insecure, my foot! He was just afraid of scaring them all, okay?
In her martial soul possession state, Shui Yuer's appearance didn't change much, except that her body was surrounded by water vapor, and she had three soul rings – yellow, yellow, and purple – hanging around her.
She was puzzled. Why wasn't Kong releasing his martial soul?
Without releasing it, how was he going to fight in a soul duel?
Most soul masters' bodies were quite fragile. Without releasing their martial soul, their strength would drop significantly, a lot.
"Kong, why aren't you releasing your martial soul?" Shui Yuer asked in confusion, blinking her large eyes. Even if she wanted to go easy on him, in her martial soul possession state, there was no way Kong could defend against her like this.
Kong: "..."
"No matter, Miss Yuer, just attack," Kong said with a blank expression.
Hearing this, Shui Yuer hesitated. She was genuinely worried about hurting him.
Seeing her reaction, Kong seemed thoughtful.
After a moment, Kong raised his right hand. Under the bewildered gazes of the women, it transformed into a sharp claw.
The claw was a dark golden color, over a meter long, and crackled with purple lightning. This was Kong controlling it. If he hadn't restrained it, the true form of the Dark Gold Dreadclaw would have been about three meters long.
"What is that?"
"An external soul bone!"
Shui Ningshuang and Qian Renxue nearly cried out in surprise.
An external soul bone – even someone as gifted as Qian Renxue didn't possess one!
Looking at the aura it emitted, its age was not low!
This Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear's right paw bone was something Kong had acquired when he absorbed his first soul ring.
Over the years, after being nurtured by celestial herbs, the Yin-Yang Spring, and the baptism of soul power (elemental power), it was no longer just a mere century-old external soul bone.
Its current age was not too much, not too little – precisely 100,000 years!
When Kong broke through to the Soul Saint level, he had absorbed the 100,000-year-old Titan Giant Ape's right arm soul bone, which helped raise the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear's right paw bone to a 100,000-year level.
Furthermore, it had even developed a second soul skill, unique to 100,000-year soul bones!
"Size Alteration!"
At this moment, Shui Yuer's face was pale, cold sweat pouring down her forehead, soaking her light blue clothing, which now clung to her figure... Ahem.
"What a terrifying aura… Am I going to die?"
Shui Yuer thought, trembling uncontrollably. She was truly petrified.
She had initially thought her opponent was weak, but never could she have imagined that his strength might far exceed her expectations!
That claw... without a soul ring appearing, it wasn't a martial soul. Yet, its power, that dark golden sheen resembling metal...
And the faint flickers of purple lightning – it sent Shui Yuer's heart racing with fear.
Seeing this, Shui Ningshuang knew that Shui Yuer had completely lost the will to fight. She was deeply anxious – after all, Shui Yuer was her daughter!
"Kong's martial soul is quite unique and far surpasses this external soul bone in power."
Kong spoke calmly, not the slightest bit flushed or out of breath: "Let me use this soul bone to face off against Miss Yuer!"
"…"
Everyone fell silent, their gazes toward Kong changing drastically.
What on earth is he talking about?
He just said his martial soul is even more powerful than this soul bone, which he claims is inferior!
Is that even possible?
Even Shui Ningshuang, who was watching, felt a chill. Could his martial soul truly be more powerful than this soul bone?
Wait, does he even understand the concept of 'evenly matched' or what it means to face off against someone?
Qian Renxue rolled her eyes, her lips twitching uncontrollably.
Does this guy not realize how weak others are in comparison? Does he have no idea how strong he is?
Shui Yuer swallowed nervously. She wasn't sure where her confidence came from, but she bit her lip and rushed toward Kong.
As an agility-type soul master, her speed wasn't particularly fast among others of her rank. Her soul skills didn't really complement an agility-type master, making her more of a "mage" who moves quickly.
The twenty-meter distance was something a soul master could cover in a single breath, but Shui Yuer didn't use her speed advantage to reach Kong directly. When they were about ten meters apart, her second soul ring lit up.
This was a century-old soul ring, about seven hundred years old, and when used by a soul master of her rank, its power was not to be underestimated.
"Second Soul Skill: Zero Degree Shockwave!"
As her second soul ring flashed, the water vapor around Shui Yuer turned to ice, and a sonic wave mixed with chunks of ice shot straight toward Kong.
Dolphins naturally use sound waves to communicate, and Shui Yuer's soul skill was somewhat similar to Dai Mubai's White Tiger Light Wave, a direct-line attack. The difference was, Dai Mubai's attack came from his mouth, while Shui Yuer's did not.
Kong remained unfazed. His right hand… or rather, his right claw, danced gracefully before him, the five sharp talons slicing through the ice as if they were waltzing on the frozen ground.
He effortlessly shattered the ice Shui Yuer had launched.
As for the sonic wave, it didn't affect him in the slightest.
Even if Shui Ningshuang, a powerful Soul Sage, had been the one releasing this attack, it still wouldn't have been able to harm Kong.
Sonic wave attacks primarily target the mind, but Kong's spiritual strength was far beyond comparison, though not yet at the level of an Ultimate Douluo. Nonetheless, it was far superior to any ordinary Soul Sage.
What's more, Kong's spiritual sea was connected to Ei and the Raiden Shogun. Attacking his spiritual sea would be equivalent to attacking these two formidable figures.
At the thought of this, Kong shuddered. Thankfully, the situation was under control; otherwise, he wouldn't even know how he would have met his end.
Seeing how effortlessly Kong neutralized her second soul skill, Shui Yuer felt a bit disheartened. Was the gap between them really that vast?
Biting her lip, a hint of grievance flashed in her eyes. They had said this was supposed to be a date, but now it felt like this man was going to beat her up!
Her frustration was boiling over!
"Third Soul Skill: Extreme Cold Storm!"
Shui Yuer's only purple soul ring flashed. This was her most powerful soul skill, so strong that even an average Soul Ancestor wouldn't dare to face it head-on.
As her voice fell, a snowstorm-like force swirled around her, almost identical to Kamisato Ayaka's elemental burst.
"Too bad, the difference in strength is just too great."
Shui Ningshuang shook her head. When Kong had revealed his external soul bone, she already knew that Shui Yuer could not be his match...
