Douluo: What the hell is the academic master development system?

Chapter 883 Xuanzi VS Ditian
Elder Xuan roared angrily, still not activating his Martial Soul True Body, but his soul power suddenly dissipated and burst forth.

Moo——

A deep, resonant sound, like the bellow of a bull, echoed through the heavens and earth, even briefly drowning out the rolling thunder.

The brilliant, earthy-yellow light no longer spread endlessly, but instead surged, compressed, and condensed wildly towards the surface of Elder Xuan's body, like rivers flowing into the sea.

A hint of surprise flashed in Di Tian's enormous golden dragon eyes.

He clearly sensed that the energy emanating from Xuanzi's body was undergoing a fundamental change, a transformation from emptiness to reality, from dispersion to condensation, was rapidly taking shape.

"Congeal!"

The old man's hair and beard bristled, and he let out a sharp shout.

In an instant, the vast and boundless earth-yellow soul power was no longer just a halo or mist, but solidified and shaped at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A thick, solid armor, exuding an aura of unwavering strength like an ancient rock, appeared out of thin air on Elder Xuan!
The armor covered his shoulders, chest, arms, and legs, with smooth yet rugged angles at the joints, and its surface was covered with mysterious and ancient patterns, as if it bore the power of the earth.

The earthen-yellow light flowed across the surface of the armor, and each flash of light caused the earth below to pulsate. Shrek City seemed to become a little more stable the moment the armor appeared!
Even more mysterious was the faintly visible pattern on Elder Xuan's breastplate.

It was a real dragon-shaped pattern, resembling a bull but not quite a bull—a Taotie that seemed about to burst out of Elder Xuan's breastplate at any moment!

At this moment, on Elder Xuan's body, on the Taotie image that seemed ready to devour someone at any moment, only one of the eyes emitted an earthy yellow light, while the other eye was completely empty.

This inevitably brings to mind the epic poems recited by bards. If only one eye of the Taotie image on the breastplate had been lit up, the Taotie would probably have burst out of the breastplate!
However, if you look closely at the single dark yellow eye on this armor, a discerning person will be astonished to discover that it is not an eye at all, but a genuine soul core!
At this moment, Elder Xuan's white hair flowed freely, and his entire body was covered in armor, with only his head exposed. His eyes, also a dark yellow color, were fixed on Emperor Tian in the distant sky, as if he were an ancient war god born from the earth.

This is the result of Elder Xuan's two months of hard work—it was painstakingly created by the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, then stolen by Xiao Bai, and finally obtained by Chen Ping after many twists and turns, and handed over to Elder Xuan as an energy armor!

"Hmm?" Di Tian uttered a deep and authoritative question through his nose.

This is not a purely defensive soul skill, but rather an ultimate application of energy form, highly compressing and materializing one's own soul power to form a melee energy armor that combines defense and strength.

Its exquisite beauty even impressed him.

"Interesting!" Di Tian admitted that the method was extraordinary, but the contempt in his tone only increased. "That Deep Sea Demon Whale King has been dead for ten thousand years. Where exactly did Shrek Academy dig up the records of its ultimate techniques?"

Before he could finish speaking, Di Tian's enormous dragon claw suddenly shot out!

That was not an ordinary physical attack.

The moment the dragon claw reached out, the space in front of it shattered inch by inch like fragile glass.

The pitch-black claw marks tore through the dark clouds, carrying a terrifying aura capable of annihilating everything, and appeared directly in front of Elder Xuan, ignoring the distance.

Wherever the claws passed, even the light was swallowed up, leaving only the deepest darkness.

"Well done!" Xuan Lao's eyes flashed with a sharp light. Facing this fatal blow that could easily tear apart a Super Douluo, he did not retreat. Instead, he pushed the power of the Taotie Armor to its limit!
The patterns on the armor suddenly lit up with a blinding yellow light, as if the core of the earth were burning.

He threw a punch too!
This punch was simple and unadorned, without any earth-shattering light and shadow effects, only a concentrated, earth-yellow fist encased in gauntlets.

Wherever the fist struck, the air froze, and even space itself groaned under the immense pressure.

Boom——

This time, the sound of the collision was no longer an explosion, but a dull thud, like stars exploding or continental plates colliding!

A teeth-grinding cracking sound rang out clearly!
Spiderweb-like cracks visibly spread across the armor covered by Xuan Lao's fist!

The energy armor that was enough to make Elder Xuan look down on any level 98 Super Douluo appeared so fragile in front of Di Tian's dragon claw that tore through space!

An overwhelming, irrational force pierced through the cracks in the armor and slammed into Elder Xuan's body!

However, Di Tian, ​​who had taken a punch from Elder Xuan, was also not in good shape!

The punch that Elder Xuan had just delivered, which had gathered an immeasurable amount of earth power, slammed into his arm along with his dragon claw, and the terrifying power burst forth, even cracking the dragon scales on his arm!

"Crash--"

At least a dozen black scales, as thick as ink, broke off from Di Tian's dragon arm and fell into the battlefield below, some even carrying traces of blood.

Di Tian is injured!

A level 98 Soul Master directly confronted the number one person in the world and actually caused substantial damage. How shocking is that?

At this moment, Di Tian was also stunned. He looked at Xuan Zi, who was pale, and then raised his dragon claw, looking at the wounds on his scales that had been torn apart. He remained silent for a long time.

I'm injured? How many years has it been since I've been injured? How could I be injured by a Soul Master who isn't even a Limit Douluo?

At this moment, Elder Xuan was also not in good condition. Di Tian's claw attack just now was serious. Even if Long Xiaoyao came, he would have to be on high alert and take it seriously.

Although protected by armor formed from condensed soul power, the sharp dragon claws and the thick defense of the Taotie Armor still injured his arm, causing it to bleed profusely.

Fortunately, this injury was nothing to Elder Xuan. The most troublesome thing about Di Tian's attack was the extreme dark attribute energy that was like a bone-deep infection. That kind of energy would greatly affect the speed at which the opponent's injuries would heal. However, this energy was blocked by the energy armor!

At this moment, Elder Xuan's face was full of relief, only then did he realize how much Di Tian had held back in their first exchange.

If it weren't for the legendary energy armor transformation technique of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, a true million-year-old soul beast, he wouldn't have been qualified to fight against Di Tian, ​​the number one person in the world!

His soul power cultivation was still too low, so he not only couldn't fully complete the energy armor transformation and expose his head, but even the Taotie image on his chest armor was missing an eye!
If he were to truly break through the bottleneck of level 99, even if he only condensed a dual soul core of the same position resonance, combined with the power of energy armor, he would have the ability to truly challenge Di Tian!
