Douluo Dalu: Immortal Dragon Clan

In the shadows, Jing Hongchen and Kong Deming stood quietly.

Because Ye Xishui was sitting in the audience, the two did not appear. They just stood there watching the sparring on the stage. Their expressions were different, especially when they saw Xiao Hongchen being kicked away by Jin Tianming.

Kong Deming looked at Jing Hongchen with a strange expression and said, "Sect Master Hongchen, I always feel that it is a waste to use such talent on your grandson."

Jing Hongchen raised her hand to cover her face, unsure of what to say.

He never expected his grandson to be so incompetent.

As for why Kong Deming knew about Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, we have to go back a few days.

When Kong Deming confronted Jing Hongchen directly, Jing Hongchen was truly shocked when she learned of Kong Deming's true stance.

He was shocked by Jin Tianming's methods. He had just turned Prince Xu into a puppet, and now Kong Deming had also chosen to join him. In particular, the other party's words, "As long as the surname is Xu, it doesn't matter who is the emperor," made Jing Hongchen instantly understand the deeper meaning behind them.

He had assumed that Master Kong was a loyal follower of the Sun and Moon Royal Family, but he never expected that the other party was the most deeply hidden... traitor!
"Master Kong, perhaps this child hasn't gotten over his teenage years yet!" Jing Hongchen said helplessly.

"That's quite similar to your grandfather, but at least your grandfather was rational."

Kong Deming responded with a smile, his gaze falling on Xiao Hongchen on the stage, a trace of melancholy flashing in his eyes, "I really see the shadow of your grandfather Xiao Hongchen in this child, it's just a pity that things have changed..."

Especially those unparalleled geniuses who streaked across the sky like brilliant shooting stars.

On the stage, Jin Tianming retracted the threads he had condensed from golden elements, quietly waiting for the four to use their soul skills to attack him.

Such actions would likely have enraged someone who didn't know Jin Tianming.

But all four present knew that Jin Tianming was giving them a chance to challenge themselves.

If Jin Tianming were to take the initiative, they would likely end up like Xiao Hongchen, suffering the fate of being men who only last three seconds.

Ji Juechen took the initiative and immediately summoned the sword that Jin Tianming had forged for him using the finest gold.

Six spirit rings slowly rose from beneath his feet, and his aura suddenly changed, making him resemble a drawn blade, sharp and intimidating.

Jin Tianming glanced at Ji Juechen and thought to himself, "This guy's talent is really high. No wonder even the Body Sect praised him as the most hardworking genius."

Unfortunately... he made a fatal mistake.

“Ji Juechen, you seem to have forgotten again that if you use the gold element in front of me, especially a weapon I forged myself, you will undoubtedly lose.”

Before he finished speaking, Jin Tianming's figure appeared in front of Ji Juechen in an instant, raising his hand to throw a punch, completely unafraid of the sharpness of the sword in the other's hand.

“I know, that’s why I prepared another sword especially for you.”

The moment Ji Juechen finished speaking, a sword spirit suddenly appeared beside the sword in his hand, which was made of the finest gold. It seemed to protect the sword firmly, as if to isolate it from external interference.

"So that's how it is." Jin Tianming instantly understood. Facing the sharp blade, he directly blocked it with his bare hands, grabbing the sword with one hand and clenching his fist with the other, preparing to swing it at Ji Juechen's face.

Just then, a wisp of purple smoke suddenly spread out, seemingly trying to force back Jin Tianming's punch and create an opportunity for Ji Juechen.

But Jin Tianming didn't buy it at all. His fists didn't stop, and he sent Ji Juechen flying.

"Old Ji!"

Seeing Ji Juechen being sent flying by a punch, Jing Ziyan cried out anxiously.

Before she could finish speaking, she found Jin Tianming standing right in front of her.

She instantly realized that she was about to be knocked away as well.

Finally, she couldn't help but beg for mercy: "Could you... please not slap my face?"

As if hearing her plea, Jin Tianming withdrew his fist from her face and instead punched Jing Ziyan in the abdomen. A sharp pain shot through her, and Jing Ziyan felt a wave of dizziness wash over her before she immediately fainted.

At this moment, only Meng Hongchen and Huo Yuhao remained on the stage. The two were so shocked that their mouths were agape, and for a moment they didn't know what to say.

"Yuhao, how many seconds did they... hold on?" Meng Hongchen couldn't help but ask.

"Sister Meng, Brother Ji Juechen lasted eight seconds, and Senior Sister Jing Ziyan lasted five seconds," Huo Yuhao replied quickly.

"Okay, I understand." Meng Hongchen nodded, took a deep breath, and said, "Yuhao, you assist me and directly activate my Ice Dragon into the ultimate ice state! We can definitely last longer than them, and at the very least, we'll be stronger than my brother, that 'three-second man'!"

Upon hearing his sister's words, Xiao Hongchen, who was sitting in the audience, had veins bulging on his forehead and couldn't help but growl, "Sister! Is this how you tease your brother? Don't you have any respect for your older brother?"

"Shut up, Three-Second Bro!"

Xiao Hongchen:...

Meng Hongchen ignored her older brother and turned her gaze to Jin Tianming, who was waiting for her to attack not far away.

She knew that the only way to last longer was to allow her martial soul to enter the state of extreme ice.

Although her martial soul has evolved into a dragon, it still retains all the attributes of the Zhu Qing Ice Toad.

To truly possess the ultimate ice, one would normally need to continuously upgrade their martial soul to awaken it, but now, she can only rely on Huo Yuhao's martial soul for assistance.

Huo Yuhao understood that his strength was still too weak to withstand the consumption of the Extreme Ice on his own, so he obediently followed Meng Hongchen's arrangements.

He first stacked the first martial soul's buffs on Meng Hongchen, and then immediately activated his newly acquired second martial soul.

A black spirit ring rose from beneath his feet, and the Ice Jade Scorpion spirit instantly possessed him.

Meng Hongchen also released his own martial soul and soul rings simultaneously, one yellow, two purple, and two black, exactly the same as Xiao Hongchen's soul rings.

Fine scales began to cover her white hair and body, and at this moment, she resembled a celestial goddess who controlled ice and snow.

When Xue Di and Bing Di in the audience saw the changes in Meng Hongchen, they immediately became interested.

If their senses were correct, the girl clearly carried the aura of the Zhu Qingbing Toad, but why did she manifest a dragon-type martial soul the moment the martial soul possessed her?
Is it really possible for the Zhu Qingbing Toad to mutate into a dragon-like creature?

Jin Tianming watched as Meng Hongchen began to gather power for her ultimate move, but he made no attempt to stop or interrupt her.

He knew he had enough ways to defend himself, so he simply gave the two little ones plenty of time to prepare, wanting to see just how far they could go.

"Brother Jin Tianming, this move will at least render you unable to move for one or two seconds!"

As soon as Meng Hongchen finished speaking, the ice and snow power she had gathered in her hand instantly transformed into a laser beam, which shot towards Jin Tianming.

Jin Tianming sensed the aura of extreme ice ahead, and a hint of interest flashed in his eyes. In front of everyone, he directly reached out and touched the ice attack.

Upon seeing this, Hyotei exclaimed in shock, "No way? Has he gone mad? The intensity of this ultimate ice has increased several levels, and he's not even choosing to dodge?!"

"You still underestimate him."

At this moment, Ye Xishui's gaze was fixed on Jin Tianming, and she slowly said, "His arrogance was never built on strength, but rather an instinct etched into his bones, just like the idea of ​​'I am the strongest,' which has long been integrated into his blood."

"Therefore, when faced with such a move, he would never choose to dodge it, but would personally experience the unknown within it and then completely resolve it."

"This reflects both his absolute confidence in his own abilities and his pride that he will not allow anyone to trample on!"
