Douluo: Son of the Stars

Chapter 48: Battle against Soul Saint
"This means that Poison Douluo has taken a step forward?" Shi Duantian was speechless.

In his early years, Shi Duantian had also seen Dugu Bo's attacks, but being able to suppress him with just his aura was definitely not something that a level 91 title could do.

"I am currently only level 92, but what I want to show you is this two-word battle armor on my body." Dugu Bo smiled calmly.

"Two-word battle armor? What is this?" asked an elder of the clan.

"Xiao Rui, you succeeded!" Shi Mo said excitedly.

Tong Rui nodded and explained to everyone present the advantages he had already achieved in terms of battle armor.

“Good fellow, the fifth ring fights the seventh ring, the sixth ring fights the eighth ring. Boy, I didn’t expect your talent to be so terrifying.” An elder of the Shi family said in surprise.

"Boy, according to what you said, you now have a one-word battle armor, right? I see that you are already a level 51 soul king, why don't you fight with me, an old guy at level 76."

"Third brother, you should call me the sect leader." Shi Duantian said calmly.

"It's okay, just call me Xiaorui." Tong Rui responded quickly.

The Third Elder was startled, but Tong Rui could be polite, but he couldn't take it seriously, and the rules couldn't be broken, so he quickly smiled and said, "I was rude to the Sect Master."

"It's okay. It's understandable that the elder wants to understand the sect's background. When you arrive at the sect's headquarters, you can start learning about soul guide design or forging. Only battle armor that you personally participate in designing can best match the soul master himself."

Tong Rui glanced at the Third Elder, and then said: "As for wanting to understand the strength of the battle armor, please ask Uncle Shi to arrange a quiet place for us."

The sun had already set, the sky was gradually getting darker, and the lanterns in the tribe's land were being lit one by one.

The group soon arrived at a quiet courtyard, where the Third Elder and Tong Rui stood opposite each other.

"Xuanwu Turtle, possess!" The third elder possessed the body quickly.

"Xing." Tong Rui said lightly.

The dazzling light covered Tong Rui's whole body, and a larger star plate appeared in his hand.

Tong Rui's one-word battle armor had to take into account his twin martial souls and the design of the matching soul bones, so in addition to the power of the starry sky, the power of time and space also occupied the vast majority of the armor. Therefore, when observing the battle armor as a whole, the bright light was looming and restrained in the armor, giving it a deep texture.

The Third Elder is always at level 76, so even if he can reach the Soul Sage level with the help of the One-Word Battle Armor, Tong Rui still doesn't dare to be careless. After all, the Soul Sage's seventh soul ring and martial soul avatar are a qualitative improvement.

"Go ahead, Sect Master." The third elder said confidently.

"The first soul skill, Star Chain." Tong Rui chose the same routine that Tong Qingtian used when he fought against Dugu Bo.

"Good timing, second soul skill, shield transformation. Third soul skill, spin."

Although it was only the first soul skill, the third elder felt the restraint from the chain. Seeing that the chains surrounded him from all directions, he did not dare to be arrogant and used two soul skills in succession, using the rotating shield to bounce the chains away. Tong Rui knew that this was the original soul skill combination of the Xuanwu family. If he had not intervened, the soul skills of the Shimo brothers would probably be the same. So at present, it seems that the fourth soul skill is probably the soul skill that explodes the shield in all directions.

Tong Rui secretly defended himself, stood up and stepped forward, deciding to fight the Third Elder in close combat.

Firstly, apart from his soul bones, he had no decisive blow, and the only soul skill he created - Star Unparalleled - that could effectively form an offensive momentum was his self-created soul skill.

Secondly, close combat can also minimize the gap between his soul skills and those of the Third Elder. The Third Elder's soul skills can interrupt the performance of the Third Elder's soul skills in the first place.

Seeing Tong Rui stepping forward, the elders of the Xuanwu family all frowned. Fighting in close combat with the top-level defensive Xuanwu turtle was equivalent to giving up the biggest advantage of the Xuanwu turtle, which was its speed and long-range soul skills.

The third elder thought so too, and when he saw Tong Rui coming forward, he decided to teach the young master a lesson. The spinning shield returned to his hand, and he raised his hand to hold up the shield, predicting Tong Rui's route, and smashed it down.

Tong Rui did not fight hard, he dodged to the right, raised his hand and used his first soul skill, and chains came with him.

When the Third Elder saw the chains wrapping around him, his inky black fifth soul ring lit up, and a circular shield blocked all the chains from his body.

Tong Rui saw this, his mouth curled up, and the third soul skill - the astral barrier was activated. Under the circular shield wrapped with chains, a purple light appeared, and the shield was completely melted. But the third elder suddenly appeared in front of Tong Rui.

It turned out that inside the protective shield, while watching the purple light rising, the Third Elder also anticipated that this soul skill might be able to break the shield, so he was ready to go, combined with the first soul skill, waiting for the moment when the protective shield disappeared, that is, the moment when Tong Rui relaxed, and rushed towards Tong Rui with all his strength to launch a fatal blow.

Tong Rui was indeed relaxed. The power of the ten thousand year soul skill also caused him to be blindly confident. But fortunately, Tong Rui reacted very quickly. The starlight gathered in his hands, he bowed to accumulate power, raised his hand, and punched. This attack contained mental power and soul power, which was the application of Xingchen Wushuang.

As the punch landed, the third elder felt a strong sense of threat. Although he didn't quite understand how powerful this punch was, he still believed in his own feelings.

The sixth soul skill was activated, and water ripples spread out from the shield. Tong Rui felt that his punch was weakened with each water ripple it passed through, until it landed on the third elder's shield, with only 30% of its power left.

Unable to strike once, Tong Rui continued to attack, raised his foot and stepped on the shield, flipped in the air, covered his right foot with flowing light, and chopped down fiercely.

Seeing this, the third elder also raised his shield and ripples spread out towards Tong Rui himself. Seeing this, Tong Rui changed his attack and continued to chop down, catapulting himself into the air higher.

The body turned in the air, and with the help of the body's rotation, the soul power also flowed. The whole person was like a tornado, focusing the center of rotation on the feet and kicking downwards.

The third elder was also not brave enough to be arrogant. One, three, and six, the three soul rings lit up at the same time. While the shield was covered with yellow light on one side, the rotation of the third soul skill guided the ripples produced by the sixth soul skill to rotate in the opposite direction.

The people of the Xuanwu family knew only too well how powerful the Third Elder's move was. The force of rotation created ripples, causing the force to be dissolved layer by layer. This was a combination of soul skills that had been passed down in their Xuanwu family for so long.

But even with the defense of the Soul Saint level, the Third Elder still did not have the confidence to resist Tong Rui's move, and even used this unique skill, which shows how powerful Tong Rui's attack is. The three people of the Xuanwu family looked at each other and nodded secretly.

As the two of them fought head-on, the violent impact sent them flying together. The Third Elder only took a few steps back, but when Tong Rui was thrown to the ground, he was pulled by the strong soul power, causing his leg muscles to be strained. He knelt on one knee and fell to the ground.

Without any hesitation, his second soul skill was activated, and his injuries began to recover rapidly. However, because he had no time to focus on guiding the transformation of the starlight power, his mental strength did not recover at all.
