Douluo: Dragon King's Star Devouring Wings

Chapter 578 The Strongest Single-Soul Master in Modern Times vs. The Strongest Single-Soul Master in History

"I'll give you an hour to rest, so you won't accuse me of bullying you if you lose."

A clear, cold voice suddenly rang out, like a thunderclap from a clear sky, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

The defeated challengers looked at each other, all wondering who was so bold as to dare to challenge Yun Ming.

Soon, they spotted a figure hidden beneath a black robe.

"Who is he? Was this person here just now?"

A Soul Master exclaimed in surprise, not even noticing that such a person existed.

"I don't know, he just appeared out of nowhere."

"Yun Ming is already so strong, how dare he still challenge him?"

"Oh, interesting." On the other side, Le Jingchen also became interested in the black-robed man who had suddenly appeared.

"Old Yu, this isn't also one of your War God Temple's secret weapons, is it?" Bedexun looked at Yu Haosheng and asked with a smile.

Yu Haosheng snorted coldly, "I have never stopped your disciple from stealing a bride."

"Who are you?" Yun Ming asked the man in black robes with great interest.

[He managed to evade my senses; his strength is probably not to be underestimated.] Yun Ming thought to himself, immediately becoming extremely alert. Although he was proud, he was definitely not stupid.

Without wasting words, the man in black robes immediately lifted his robes, revealing his true face.

Even though they had just been through a battle, everyone present couldn't help but shrink their pupils in surprise.

Even seasoned veterans like Bede Xun and Yu Haosheng showed surprise. Le Jingchen was so astonished that he jumped up from his chair.

It's no wonder they were surprised, because a woman actually appeared in this martial arts contest to find a husband!
A woman comes to hold a martial arts contest to find a husband? Are you kidding me?
More importantly, all the main characters present recognized her identity.

With skin as white as snow, phoenix eyes brimming with power, and long golden hair fluttering in the wind, she was none other than Qian Renxue.

"It's her?" Guan Yue's eyes also showed a hint of surprise.

"Le Qianxue, what are you doing here?" Yun Ming said in surprise. Even though they hadn't seen each other for many years, Yun Ming still recognized Qian Renxue at a glance.

There's no other reason than that, as the only innate level 20 Soul Master with full Soul Power in the world, Qian Renxue had given him too many shocks.

Qian Renxue smiled calmly, "Isn't this the scene of a martial arts contest to find a husband? What, can't I come?"

"Sister Xue!" Ya Li couldn't help but run out of the pavilion when she saw Qian Renxue arrive.

Qian Renxue naturally saw Ya Li as well. She winked at Ya Li, signaling her to calm down.

Yun Ming said somewhat awkwardly, "Although it is a martial arts contest to choose a husband, you are a girl too!"

Qian Renxue raised her eyebrows slightly. "What, is there some rule that says a girl can't come and steal a bride?"

A hint of embarrassment appeared in Yun Ming's eyes. "That's true..."

Qian Renxue impatiently summoned the Angelic Holy Sword and pointed it at Yun Ming, saying, "Enough with the nonsense. Either admit defeat, or you'd better recover quickly."

Yun Ming's eyes narrowed, and without saying a word, he immediately began meditating to restore his soul power.

Yun Ming broke through to the Title Douluo level and also condensed a Yin-Yang complementary dual soul core. Since condensing the dual soul core, Yun Ming's soul power recovery speed has greatly increased.

It can be said that Yun Ming did not actually consume much soul power during the series of battles just now, because the recovery speed of the Yin-Yang complementary dual soul cores was simply too fast.

However, when facing Qian Renxue, Yun Ming did not act arrogantly. Instead, he immediately began meditating, not just to restore his soul power, but to restore himself to his best condition.

The turn of events caught the other bride hunters off guard; they had been wondering who else dared to challenge Yun Ming.

They were so surprised to find that the person who came to abduct the bride was an even more beautiful woman than the bride, Ya Li, that they were speechless.

“Le Qianxue… I remember now, it’s that six-winged angel! A six-winged angel with innate level 20 and full soul power!” a soul master suddenly shouted.

A Soul Master said with a gossipy look, "It's her! Then what about her and Ya Li..."

His companion quickly interrupted him, saying, "Shh, watch your words! This is a battle between major powers now, let's not get involved."

...

"This isn't right, is it? Why is Yue Qianxue here too?" Bei Dexun said with a surprised look.

Qian Gu Die Ting smiled and stopped Bei De Xun, who was about to get up, saying, "Let the young people argue among themselves. Let's not interfere."

"Master of the Ancient Tower, what exactly is going on?" Le Jingchen asked in a deep voice.

Qian Gu Die Ting said, "Maybe it's because Xiao Xue doesn't want her Martial Soul Fusion Technique's target to get married like this? Who knows?"

An hour passed in the blink of an eye. Yun Ming opened his eyes, and lightning seemed to flash in his golden pupils.

Yun Ming stood up, gripped the Sky-Piercing Spear in his hand, and his nine spirit rings—six black and three orange, far exceeding the optimal ratio—reappeared beside him, making his aura soar to the heavens.

After an hour of meditation, Yun Ming had already recovered to his peak condition.

Qian Renxue strode forward with her long, beautiful legs, and with each step, a spirit ring spiraled upwards.

The first things to appear were six spirit rings that were black with a hint of red.

"They actually had ten-thousand-year soul rings from the very beginning, just like Yun Ming!"

"Moreover, judging from the color, the age of her spirit ring is probably even higher than that of Yun Ming."

"No wonder Yun Ming immediately began meditating; this is indeed a worthy opponent."

Although these Soul Masters were surprised, it was within an acceptable range. Which direct descendant of a major power didn't start with a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring?

But what happened next challenged their understanding.

The next instant, an orange spirit ring spiraled upwards, like the rising sun.

"It's an orange-level spirit ring!"

"That's the spirit of a ferocious beast!"

However, their attention was quickly diverted, because after two orange spirit rings rose up in succession, a crimson gold spirit ring appeared!
"A golden spirit ring? A million-year one?" Bedell exclaimed, somewhat flustered, staring intently at Qian Renxue's last golden spirit ring.

Yu Haosheng frowned slightly and looked at Qian Gu Dieting, saying, "Master of the Ancient Tower, your daughter and disciple both have golden spirit rings. Does this mean the Spirit Pagoda has already mastered the method of creating golden spirit rings?" Le Jingchen's gaze also turned over, which was also what he was curious about. Those were the legendary million-year spirit rings! Their appeal to spirit masters was self-evident.

Qian Gu Die Ting said with a wry smile, "Would you believe me if I said I didn't actually know? Otherwise, why would I still be using a 100,000-year soul ring?"

Yali's eyes were somewhat dazed, then a hint of pride flashed across them. This was the person she liked!

Qian Renxue felt a surge of secret delight as she observed the surprised and envious gazes directed at her. [Although she lacks soul skills, she's certainly good enough to charm people!]

"A million-year soul ring?" Yun Ming looked at Qian Renxue's last crimson-gold soul ring, his surprise growing even more, and he immediately became extremely alert.

"Who knows?" Qian Renxue smiled faintly, offering no direct response.

Qian Renxue raised the Angelic Holy Sword, pointing it at Yun Ming, a disdainful smile appearing on her beautiful face. "Let me tell you in advance, in this battle, you are the challenger."

This was not arrogance on Qian Renxue's part, but rather the natural order of things. As a fellow Title Douluo, she did not believe that she, who had once been a god, would lose to anyone.

Of course, dragons are an exception.

Yun Ming was not angered by Qian Renxue; instead, an excited expression appeared on his handsome face.

He had actually wanted to fight Qian Renxue with all his might for a long time, but for various reasons he never had the chance.

"Let's go up there." After saying that, Yun Ming took the lead and flew into the sky.

According to the unwritten rules on Douluo Star, the battlefields of Title Douluos are usually in the sky, because if they fight on the ground, it is easy to accidentally injure others.

Qian Renxue flapped her six pure white wings in unison and immediately gave chase.

Having reached the level of Title Douluo, the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul finally possessed six wings, truly living up to its name.

After reaching a height of one thousand meters, Yun Ming immediately stopped, turned around and looked at Qian Renxue who was chasing him. A sly smile appeared on his lips. He raised the Sky-Piercing Spear high and said softly, "No air movement."

Qian Renxue instantly felt an immense pressure coming from all directions, as if trying to push her out of the sky.

A hint of displeasure flashed in her beautiful eyes. Qian Renxue snorted coldly, flapped her six wings, and a brilliant golden light shone from her exquisite body.

"How dare a piece of scrap iron defy the Lord of Heaven?" Qian Renxue shouted coldly. Under the golden light, she was like a slowly rising sun, instantly breaking through the restrictions of the Sky-Supporting Spear.

The Angel God himself possesses authority over the sky, and in Qian Renxue's view, the sky is her own territory.

First, he tried to steal her woman, and now he's attempting to challenge her authority. Qian Renxue is now especially eager to make Yun Ming understand what it means to be a king or queen.

Seeing that Qian Renxue had broken through the restriction of airspace, Yun Ming was not particularly surprised. He had long known that the ability to restrict airspace was not absolute; as long as the opponent was strong enough, it could be broken.

Yun Ming simply hadn't expected Qian Renxue to break through so quickly.

Although the desired effect was not achieved, the no-fly zone did temporarily affect Qian Renxue's actions. Yun Ming launched an attack immediately without giving Qian Renxue time to adjust.

Just as Qian Renxue broke through the air-blocking barrier of the Sky-Supporting Spear, Yun Ming swooped down from the sky like a silver lightning bolt.

During the sprint, Yun Ming's seventh spirit ring lit up instantly, bursting out with a dazzling orange light.

The Sky-Piercing Spear instantly erupted with a silvery-white light, and the Martial Soul True Form was activated!
At the same time, pieces of silver armor appeared on Yun Ming's body, and Yun Ming's aura instantly surged.

"That's a four-word battle armor?" On the ground, Qian Gu Die Ting's eyes showed a hint of surprise. He didn't expect Yun Ming to have obtained a four-word battle armor so early.

"They're all just external things," Bedell said.

Even so, the pride in Bedek’s eyes was impossible to hide.

The only master craftsman on the mainland today is a student of Shrek Academy, so the relationship between the two is naturally closer.

Yun Ming was a disciple of the Sea God Pavilion Master, so obtaining a set of four-word battle armor after breaking through to the Title Douluo level was extremely easy for him.

In reality, a Title Douluo can afford a four-word battle armor, but most Soul Masters don't have enough savings to have a four-word battle armor when they reach the Title Douluo level.

The four-word battle armor provides a tremendous boost to Title Douluos.

In an instant, Yun Ming unleashed his Martial Soul True Form, the Four-Word Battle Armor, and several amplifying Soul Skills, instantly entering a state of perfect harmony with nature.

Facing a truly powerful opponent, Yun Ming immediately entered his strongest state.

Looking at Yun Ming flying down from the sky, Qian Renxue remained calm and her fourth spirit ring lit up instantly as she activated her Angel Domain.

The Blazing Sky Locking Spirit Array instantly appeared directly below Yun Ming, and the crimson-gold chains stretched out towards him in an instant.

The Angelic Realm already possesses the ability to imprison opponents, and now, with the addition of the Blazing Sky Locking Spirit Array, even someone as powerful as Yun Ming is temporarily trapped in place.

As Qian Renxue raised the Burning Heaven Holy Sword, her eighth soul ring also lit up. A huge golden pillar of light, carrying enough power to purify the world, descended from the sky and slammed into Yun Ming.

Because she didn't use her previous life's spirit rings, Qian Renxue's current spirit skills are naturally completely different from those in her previous life, and she needs to readjust.

Now, Qian Renxue has finally formed her own combat system. First, she uses Angel Domain and Blazing Spirit Locking Array to bind her opponent, and then uses her eighth soul skill, Heavenly Light, to severely injure her opponent.

With strong control and strong offense, it's easy to achieve a kill on the first encounter.

Yun Ming clearly hadn't expected that he would be instantly controlled by Qian Renxue, so he quickly released the domain of his four-word battle armor to counter Qian Renxue's Angel Domain.

As long as Yun Ming can block Qian Renxue's Angel Domain, he can escape alive.

Qian Renxue snorted coldly and released the domain of her three-word battle armor. Although Qian Renxue possessed a three-word battle armor with the Void Condensation Armor characteristic, it was still far inferior to a true four-word battle armor.

However, with the help of the Angelic Domain, it is still not a problem to contend with Yun Ming's four-word battle armor.

In the end, Yun Ming was unable to break free of the restraints, and the light of heaven fell entirely upon him.

Yun Ming let out a scream, spitting out a mouthful of blood. His face turned pale, and even his four-word battle armor was damaged.

"With just one move, you actually dissolved a third of my soul power!" Yun Ming exclaimed in surprise, sensing his own condition.

However, Qian Renxue had no intention of giving Yun Ming a chance. She raised the Burning Heaven Holy Divine Sword above her head, and her eighth soul ring lit up once again.

A golden halo emanated from the Burning Heaven Holy Divine Sword, and the ultimate holy power gathered on it. Then, Qian Renxue swung the Burning Heaven Holy Divine Sword forward and unleashed a platinum-gold slash!
Prism Judgment, Qian Renxue's other eighth soul skill.

Wherever the Prism Judgment passed, space cracked inch by inch, and even the planes themselves showed signs of breaking.

Yun Ming's face instantly turned ugly. After losing the opportunity to make the first move, he had been led by the nose by Qian Renxue and had completely fallen into her rhythm.

However, faced with this situation, Yun Ming had no time to complain and quickly used his ninth soul skill.
