Douluo Jueshi: Picking up Firefly at the Beginning

Du Bu Si's body shook slightly, and he stomped his feet in the air to stabilize his body.

However, his pair of dark green hands seemed to be made of steel, deeply inserted into the black palm shadow. With his powerful strength, he tore it apart in front of him. For a moment, light overflowed and the soul power fluctuations became disordered.

On the other hand, Xuan Zi's response was much more violent.

He looked solemn as he took steady steps in the air. Every step he took seemed to step on everyone's heartstrings.

As he moved, the shadow of the Taotie bull behind him flashed out like a phantom, and its huge body exuded an ancient aura.

At the same time, two long spiral horns slowly emerged from above his head, shining with a metallic luster.

Then, two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red, nine dazzling soul rings emerged one after another, surrounding him, making him look like a god of war descending to earth.

Xuan Zi concentrated all his soul power into his right fist, and punched out with an unstoppable momentum. The wind from his fist whistled, and the air was compressed into visible air waves.

"Boom..." Accompanied by a series of continuous loud noises, the black palm shadow gradually dissipated under Xuanzi's powerful punch, turning into countless black fragments and dissipating in the air.

Xuan Zi was also affected by the powerful recoil force, and his body flew backwards more than ten meters like a kite with a broken string, leaving a long trail in the air.

In the distance, Long Xiaoyao, after enduring Xuan Zi's full-strength attack, only shook his shoulders slightly, and the whole person was still floating steadily in the air with a calm expression, as if everything that had just happened was just an insignificant episode.

After just one encounter, the Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao still had the upper hand in the one-on-two battle.

This is the difference in strength. In the face of absolute power, even if two of the world's top level 98 Super Douluo join forces, they will find it difficult to compete with it.

This brief but intense confrontation allowed everyone present to deeply appreciate Long Xiaoyao's unfathomable and terrifying strength, and also made them full of anticipation for the upcoming battle.

"Boom!"

A dull, thunderous roar rolled out from the distant sky. This sound possessed a powerful penetrating power, reaching everyone's ears clearly even at the venue where the Mingdu Soul Mentor Competition was being held.

Liu Xing, who was watching the game at the scene, naturally heard the unusual noise. He frowned slightly and his eyes subconsciously fell on Huo Yuhao who was still competing on the field.

A golden light suddenly flashed in his eyes. With the ability of his fire pupils, he keenly noticed that Huo Yuhao's mental strength had dropped a lot in that instant.

Not only that, he also saw a vague, invisible and colorless spiritual body quietly emerging from Huo Yuhao's body.

The actions of this spirit were extremely strange, as if it had performed a space transfer technique. It disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye, as if it had never appeared.

Liu Xing didn't dwell on this matter too much. He shook his head gently, a faint smile on his face, and said, "Forget it, let's go over there and take a look. The battle between Titled Douluo is much more interesting than this Soul Master competition."

After saying that, Liuxing reached out and grabbed Liuying beside him, then waved to Xuenv and others behind him.

The group calmly left the bustling competition venue. The battle between the Titled Douluo in the distance was bound to be exciting, but it was also accompanied by great danger. If they were too close to the battlefield, they might be dragged into it and suffer unexpected disasters if they were not careful, but if they were too far away, they would not be able to gain much.

Fortunately, Youxiang and Luosha had already reserved a seat for them in advance. Thinking of this, Liuxing quickened his pace and led everyone towards the direction where Youxiang and Luosha were.

Almost all the powerful people in the entire Mingdu were rushing to the palace, whether to watch the battle or for other motives, but they all gathered together without any prior agreement.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy also took action in secret.

"Rumble..."

In the sky, a dull roar sounded for who knows how many times. The loud noise shook every inch of space, and people's hearts beat violently with the rhythm involuntarily.

In the vast sky, two thousand meters above the ground, a shocking battle is going on in full swing.

This airspace has become the exclusive battlefield of the three peerless masters, filled with terrifying power fluctuations.

An extremely huge black dragon domineeringly occupied half of the sky, with its wide dragon wings spread out as if to cover the entire sky.

This black dragon is over a hundred meters long and is covered with a layer of thick and hard dragon scales. Each dragon scale sparkles with a metallic luster, like a carefully crafted armor, exuding a terrifying aura.

Its pale golden eyes were deep and piercing, overflowing with an innate kingly majesty, as if a single glance could bring all things to their knees. Every time the black dragon's massive body trembled slightly, vast swaths of surrounding space would strangely distort.

The amazing thing is that these distorted spaces did not radiate outward indiscriminately. Instead, they seemed to have self-awareness, cleverly absorbing and dissolving the impact of the surrounding battles, thus protecting the areas outside the battlefield from being affected.

Directly opposite the black dragon, a giant emitting a rich dark green light stood proudly.

This giant is nearly a hundred meters tall. On his huge and strong body, muscles bulge high and have clear lines, showing unparalleled power, as if he is a god of war from ancient barbaric times.

Behind him, a huge dark green vortex was spinning rapidly and non-stop, like a black hole, swallowing up all the energy around it.

Looking closely, in the deep vortex, there are faint flashes of golden light.

And in the air not far from this dark green giant, a huge mythical beast with a strange shape was suspended.

Its head is like that of a dragon, its eyes are bright and radiant, but its body is as strong and sturdy as an ox, giving people a sense of calmness and heaviness.

What is particularly striking is that it has a pair of spiral horns on its head, which are extremely sharp and seem to be able to tear through space easily.

The divine bull stepped on clouds made of yellow light. The light of these clouds flowed like a dream, and they seemed as solid as the earth.

There is no doubt that this black dragon is the result of the Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao displaying his martial soul's true body. The dark green giant is the powerful form displayed by his original body Douluo Du Bu Si, and this strange giant bull is the true body of Xuan Zi's Taotie Divine Bull.

The three powerful men have been in a stalemate for a long time in this vast sky. Indeed, if they were to fight one-on-one, Xuan Zi and Du Bu Si would be unable to withstand Long Xiaoyao and would definitely not be his opponents.

However, the two of them cooperated with each other tacitly and echoed each other. In this fierce battle, they worked together and were not at a disadvantage at all.

After several head-on battles with Long Xiaoyao, a flame of fanaticism gradually ignited in Xuan Zi and Du Bushi's eyes.

Xuan Zi and Du Bu Si's cultivation has both reached the peak of the ninety-eighth level Super Douluo. Since the promotion of the plane, the rules and energy between heaven and earth have undergone subtle changes. They keenly captured that hint of opportunity and saw the dawn of hope for further progress.

This fierce battle with the Ultimate Douluo like Long Xiaoyao is of great significance to them.

During the battle, both of them clearly felt that the bottleneck that had stagnated them for a long time was showing some signs of loosening.

With the keen intuition developed through years of practice, they had a premonition that after this fierce battle with Long Xiaoyao was over, as long as they returned to their respective places of practice and secluded themselves for a period of time, concentrating on reflection and comprehension, they would most likely be able to condense a second soul core through the method of isotopic resonance, and thus successfully be promoted to the respected Extreme Douluo.

During the intervals of the battle, Xuan Zi and Du Bushi keenly noticed that Long Xiaoyao seemed to have been deliberately suppressing his strength and not using his full strength.

After all, as an Ultimate Douluo, Long Xiaoyao's unfathomable strength is far beyond their ability to contend with.

If Long Xiaoyao attacked with all his strength without reservation, even if the two of them joined forces, they would probably find it difficult to resist, and they would be seriously injured if they didn't die.

Although they didn't know the specific reason why Long Xiaoyao was so reserved, they knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to break through the bottleneck that must not be missed.

Therefore, both of them put aside all distractions and threw themselves into the battle with all their might, fully exerting their soul power and engaging in a thrilling peak showdown with Long Xiaoyao.

Feeling the gradual changes in Du Bu Si and Xuan Zi during the battle, Long Xiaoyao narrowed his narrow eyes slightly.

He did have many concerns in his heart. If it weren't for the person he loved, with his identity and status as the Dragon Emperor Douluo, how could he be willing to fall into the situation of associating with evil soul masters.

Even though he had no choice but to stand on the side of the evil soul master because of this deep affection, it did not mean that he would work for them without any bottom line.

Xuan Zi had a close relationship with Dragon God Douluo Moon, and Du Bu Si was a crucial figure in the Heavenly Soul Empire. Long Xiaoyao had no strong intention to kill either of them. Furthermore, deep down, he was happy to help them out.

Since Xuan Zi and Du Bu Si were eager to use the pressure he exerted to break through their own bottlenecks, Long Xiaoyao gave them just enough pressure.

He struck a balance precisely, ensuring that the pressure was enough to stimulate the two's potential while not exceeding their endurance, finding a perfect balance between the two.

It was precisely because of this that the current astonishing situation emerged—two Level 98 Super Douluos and a long-established, exceptionally powerful Ultimate Douluo, locked in a fierce, evenly matched battle in the sky. (End of this chapter)
