Douluo: Lord of Arms

Chapter 193 Countermeasures
As they were staring at each other, Dai Yun'er smiled sweetly, and then a wave of spiritual energy came toward him, causing Lin Xingyu's brows to twitch slightly.

The bright moon visualized in the sea of ​​spirit casts its flowing moonlight, dissolving all external spiritual energy.

Although he doesn't currently specialize in mental power, his mental power in the late stage of the Spirit Abyss Realm even surpasses that of many Title Douluos.

The spiritual energy transmitted by Dai Yun'er vanished completely in the next instant, without even causing the slightest ripple.

On the other hand, she felt that her mental energy had been completely blocked. Although she felt something was wrong, this behavior only made her playful mood even stronger.

As a result, his mental energy became even more concentrated. This time, he no longer tentatively released a small amount of mental energy, but directly used most of his mental energy.

Sensing the second surge of spiritual energy, Lin Xingyu's crimson-gold eyes deepened even further.

He directly used his mental power to pull most of Dai Yun'er's mental power into his own Myriad Abyss Domain.

His Myriad Abyss Domain is quite unique and powerful. It is a semi-illusory and semi-real domain. Not only can it be released to suppress opponents and improve oneself, but it can also refine numerous souls to make the domain even stronger.

Furthermore, these souls incorporated into the domain can, in turn, promote the corresponding evolution of the domain.

Consuming too many water-attribute souls will evolve into corresponding seas, fire-attribute souls will evolve into corresponding volcanoes, wind-attribute souls...

Mental power is naturally also within the scope of the Myriad Abyss Domain.

The semi-real, semi-illusory realm allows Lin Xingyu to arbitrarily determine the form in which the realm exists.

It can be very small or very large; it can exist in the real world or in the spiritual realm.

At this moment, his realm manifested itself in a very small, purely illusory spiritual aspect.

On the other hand, Dai Yun'er, whose mental energy had been intercepted, immediately sensed something was wrong.

Lin Xingyu shifted Dai Yun'er's perspective to that of the soul beast he had killed, and then showed the moment it was killed by Lin Xingyu...

Pain, despair, and that overwhelming crimson-gold light...

"what!!!"

A loud scream rang out in the hall, and Dai Yun'er instantly became the focus of everyone's attention.

Realizing she had been pulled into an illusion, Dai Yun'er immediately covered her mouth with her hand.

The girl stiffly turned her neck and found that everyone was staring at her intently. Emperor Dai Tianling of Xingluo also stopped his speech and gave her a questioning look.

Dai Yun'er's ears turned bright red instantly. She quickly lowered her head, staring intently at the ground, her toes twitching incessantly. She wished she could dig a crack beneath her to hide in, or even better, a dark room.

A moment later, the brief incident passed, the venue returned to normal, and Dai Tianling continued his speech.

Dai Yun'er quietly raised her head and glanced in Lin Xingyu's direction. Seeing Lin Xingyu acting as if nothing had happened, she couldn't help but grit her teeth inwardly.

How could this person be so wicked!
I noticed they were all distracted, so I subtly used my mental energy to distract them and make them look foolish.

This person is something else; not only did they embarrass themselves, they also gave themselves a good scare.

It’s so bad!

That intense emotion immediately gave Dai Yun'er a thorough shock.

'But this person's strength is a bit outrageous. He made it impossible for me, with my Spirit Eye Martial Soul, to break free in an instant. His mental strength is a bit too strong...'

Despite her playful antics, Dai Yun'er couldn't help but feel serious upon witnessing this scene.

She glanced at Lin Xingyu, looked at his position and the youthful faces around him, and knew that he was the representative team of Shrek Academy. She would probably have to face him in the upcoming Youth Soul Master Competition.

After the minor incident, the ceremony should continue as planned.

After Dai Tianling finished his speech after half a day, the two sides exchanged credentials and gifts, and each representative took the stage to speak. A series of rather complicated ceremonies followed.

Inside the Star Luo Imperial Palace, solemn and dignified music filled the air as various ceremonies were performed one after another.

To put it nicely, this is called, "Without magnificence, there is no way to project authority; without splendor, there is no way to demonstrate virtue."

To put it bluntly, it's a complete waste of life and time, but you can't skip it like you can in a game by pressing the fast forward button.

It can be described as quite grueling.

As the ceremony reached its final stage, the people in the procession became somewhat lax, and their postures became sluggish.

Xie Xie muttered to himself, "Seriously, when is this ceremony going to end? I feel like my legs aren't even mine anymore."

Le Zhengyu casually stretched his muscles and bones. Surprisingly, even though he had stretched his whole body, he still appeared to be standing there without moving, which showed that he was very experienced.

He replied in a low voice, "Almost there, almost there, just one more left."

Xie Xie continued to complain, "They all talk so much. To sum up all that, it all boils down to one thing: they're willing to have friendly exchanges."

Xu Xiaoyan chuckled softly, "Then why don't you go up on stage and give a speech?"

"Forget it, I won't stoop to their level."

After Xie Xie finished speaking, he looked at Tang Wulin, who was standing to the side and becoming more and more energetic, and asked in surprise, "How did you do that? How come you are getting more and more energetic? I remember you were half dead at the beginning."

Tang Wulin stared intently at the banquet hall not far away and said, "I can smell the aroma of the food. Tonight's food looks very good!"

Xie Xie: ⊙︿⊙, good heavens, is he going to hold out until the honey trap comes along?

Time passed slowly, sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly, until finally, with the last person finishing their speech, it was time for the banquet.

After the ceremony, inside the Star Luo Imperial Palace.

Dai Tianling looked at Dai Yun'er, who had a stern expression, and then said with a headache, "Yun'er, what nonsense are you spouting at this important occasion of negotiations between two countries?"

Dai Yun'er looked pitiful, her bright eyes wide open. She held Dai Tianling's hand and said coquettishly, "Father, you must stand up for your daughter! I was tricked by someone during the ceremony!"

Dai Tianling said somewhat speechlessly, "With so many Title Douluos at the ceremony, who would be crazy enough to plot against you? And why wouldn't they let anyone find out?"

Dai Yun'er was momentarily speechless. If she hadn't deliberately extended her spiritual power, she wouldn't have been ambushed by someone with so many people protecting her. Then Dai Yun'er said fiercely, "Father, I made a mistake. He forcibly intercepted my spiritual power and gave me a good fright in the spiritual realm. Otherwise, I wouldn't have lost my composure like this."

Seeing Dai Yun'er say this, Dai Tianling was still a little confused, but he didn't pursue the matter any further. If he didn't care about such a fragile little girl, who would?
Dai Tianling then asked somewhat seriously, "To be able to forcibly suppress your spiritual power, you must have reached the Spirit Abyss Realm. In addition, your Spirit Eye Martial Soul has a considerable resistance to spiritual power, so you are probably not weak even in the Spirit Abyss Realm. Which titled person did you attack?"

Most titled Douluo have spiritual power that is only at the Spirit Abyss Realm.

Dai Yun'er's spiritual power was already infinitely close to the Spirit Abyss Realm, and her development of the Spirit Eye Martial Soul was also quite powerful.

She is a four-ring Soul Master, and her Spirit Eye Martial Soul, which is purely spiritual, also has these four Soul Rings, making her quite powerful in terms of spiritual strength.

Even though she herself mainly cultivates the Netherworld Cat, her cultivation of the Spirit Eye Martial Soul is no less than that of the Netherworld Cat, only because the Spirit Eye cultivation is more difficult.

Moreover, her Spirit Eye Martial Soul itself is fused with two thousand-year-old soul spirits. These two thousand-year-old soul spirits were specially sought out by the Star Luo Royal Family, who sought to enable her to develop her Spirit Eye to the greatest extent. Even the soul skills she obtained are the same as Huo Yuhao's: mental detection, mental interference, soul impact, and group weakness.

The lifespans of the two spirits were also stretched to the limit that her body could bear on the Ascension Platform.

In this situation, to be able to forcefully suppress her mental power in a single exchange, one would have to have traveled a considerable distance in the Spirit Abyss Realm.

Dai Yun'er quickly waved her hand and said, "It's not a title. Judging from the position, she should be a student at Shrek Academy! My daughter isn't so clueless as to not know what's important."

"A student?"

Dai Tianling couldn't help but be taken aback. Could a student be this outrageous?
"Your Majesty, it's that student named Lin Xingyu!"

Standing to the side, Xingluo National Preceptor Enci spoke up.

When Dai Yun'er probed out her spiritual power, he didn't pay any attention to it, thinking that she was just a junior and wouldn't cause any major trouble.

I never expected that the other party's mental strength would be so powerful.

"Lin Xingyu? A two-word battle armor master!" Dai Tianling exclaimed in surprise. He had learned about Lin Xingyu, a two-word battle armor master among the students, from Sima Lanxiao's report.

Unexpectedly, he received news here that his mental strength was also quite powerful, which gave him several big surprises in a row!
"What specific level has his spiritual power reached?"

Enci was silent for a moment, then thought for a moment and said, "Being able to directly suppress Yun'er's spiritual power without any fluctuations in the process means that you have at least reached the mid-stage of the Spirit Abyss Realm, and there is a good chance that you have already reached the edge of the late stage."

"How is that possible! How old is he!" Dai Yun'er exclaimed in surprise.

During the previous process, although she felt Lin Xingyu's strong suppressive power in terms of mental strength, and knew that his mental strength had definitely reached the Spirit Abyss Realm, she would not be surprised if his mental strength had reached the middle stage of the Spirit Abyss Realm, but it was almost at the late stage.

Isn't this a bit outrageous?
Dude, are you even human?

We're about the same age. I never imagined I'd reach the late stage of the Spirit Abyss Realm when I was twenty!

Who is the Spirit Eye Martial Soul, you or me?
Enci then added, "It's not surprising. His strength is so great, but Long Yue is going to be in big trouble from now on."

At the young age of fifteen, his soul power has already reached nearly that of a Soul Emperor. He is also a two-word Battle Armor Master, and even his mental power is now so strong.

Thinking of this, Enci couldn't help but reveal a hint of killing intent in his eyes while sighing. A genius is a rare genius, but it's a pity that he is a genius from Douluo Continent.

Long Yue's flaws were all too clear to him. After obtaining a fortuitous opportunity, his martial soul completely transformed into the Mountain Dragon King martial soul, which could even completely crush his Light Holy Dragon martial soul.

His future potential is enormous, but his mental deficiencies are quite significant.

To encounter such a flawless opponent, especially one who is younger than him.

Enci couldn't help but feel a little worried.

After a moment, he convinced himself to believe in the power of the Mountain Dragon King Martial Soul. It was a Martial Soul that could not possibly be borne by a human body. No matter how strong the opponent was, they would be defeated when they encountered the Mountain Dragon King Martial Soul.

The same two-word battle armor, but this one has an additional level of soul power, so in terms of mental power, it still has plenty of ways to defend.

No matter how you look at it, the advantage is on the Soul Emperor's side when fighting the Soul King.

Although she felt a little relieved, Enci secretly resolved to pay more attention to Lin Xingyu.

Although the other party comes from Shrek Academy and I heard they even studied under the Body Sect, if their background isn't strong enough, I'll see if I can befriend them; if not…

Upon hearing Lin Xingyu's information, Dai Yun'er's expression immediately fell silent.

As the only princess of the Star Luo Empire, and with her own extraordinary talent, she won the favor of her father and a group of brothers.

She knew that the reason she was able to obtain so many privileges was not only because she was the only woman in the royal family and would eventually marry to fight for the royal family's interests, but also because she had great talent.

They all need to think more about themselves, now that they know there are people whose talents far surpass their own.

Her only remaining advantage seems to be her status as the only princess of Xingluo.

Like a commodity waiting to be priced and sold...

……

After the dinner began.

Dai Tianling led the group into the hall and began their routine social activities.

The atmosphere between the two at this moment was quite harmonious.

After the initial dance, each person was assigned their own activity space according to their status.

The group of titled Douluo, along with the councilors, the Star Luo Emperor, and other high-ranking officials, proceeded to another room.

The heavy, gilded gate directly separated the inside from the outside.

Meanwhile, the group from Shrek Academy also began interacting with the young men and women of the Star Luo Empire.

Older folks have their own social lives, and younger people have their own energy.

With their handsome appearances, the group naturally attracted a lot of attention at the banquet.

Lin Xingyu maintained a polite and considerate smile throughout, until he returned to the hotel and realized that his lips had become somewhat stiff.
