Douluo: Lord of Arms

Chapter 208: Dragon Subduing
Accompanied by rousing music, Lin Xingyu and Long Yue stepped onto the competition stage at the same time, facing each other across hundreds of meters.

Fang'er's commentary began to resound throughout the sky as the two appeared on stage.

"The two finalists in the individual competition are Lin Xingyu from Shrek Academy, whose martial soul is a top-tier humanoid martial soul, and Long Yue from Monster Academy, whose martial soul is a true dragon martial soul called Mountain Dragon..."

The host, Fang'er, spoke with great excitement, and tried her best to make her words full of emotion as she introduced the two people, in order to stir up the emotions of the audience inside and outside the stadium.

The audience below the ring cheered continuously.

They are clearly looking forward to this battle.

In all the previous Continental Youth Soul Master Tournaments held by Xingluo, the most anticipated events were the individual championship and the team championship.

The champion of the individual competition is the strongest Soul Master of the younger generation, while the team competition is the most exciting battle.

In some respects, the individual champion is even more outstanding than the team champion.

This perfectly illustrates people's pursuit of becoming the strongest.

"The rules are the same as before, and both sides are preparing accordingly."

The elderly man acting as referee spoke rather briefly as before.

Seeing that Lin Xingyu and Long Yue were ready, the referee continued.

"Game start!"

Lin Xingyu and Long Yue simultaneously released their martial spirits.

Long Yue dared not be careless in this battle, as he had not even figured out Lin Xingyu's strengths in the previous battles.

If he still dares not to activate his Martial Soul, then it's not arrogance, but pure stupidity.

As a tall, majestic, and solemn crimson-gold phantom appeared behind him, it then merged into his body, and five black soul rings slowly appeared around Lin Xingyu's body.

As the phantom of the mountain dragon appeared behind him, Long Yue swelled to five meters in height. With the triangular scales that appeared on his body and his thick dragon tail, he looked exactly like a humanoid demon dragon.

Six soul rings, one purple, one purple, one black, and one black, appeared on his body.

In terms of spirit ring configuration alone, Long Yue's six spirit rings (three purple and three black) are actually a level below Lin Xingyu's five spirit rings.

Five black spirit rings, with at least two being ten-thousand-year spirits, are far stronger than Long Yue's one thousand-year spirit and one ten-thousand-year spirit.

"world…"

Looking at Lin Xingyu in front of him, Long Yue finally understood what Dai Yun'er meant when she described Lin Xingyu's aura as being like the heavens, while his own aura was like the earth.

Even though he was a Soul Emperor and his opponent was a Soul King, he was completely suppressed by his opponent in terms of sheer aura.

High as the heavens, low as the abyss.

It is everywhere, in the heavens and on the earth.

The boiling blood and qi in his body permeated the heavens and earth, and the red smoke could even be faintly seen with the naked eye.

You should know that you have obtained the inheritance of the Mountain Dragon King! Not only did your martial soul evolve, but you also obtained the corresponding bloodline, soul bone, and even the two soul spirits on your body have undergone a certain evolution under the power of the Mountain Dragon King.

In this situation, he was actually outmaneuvered by the other party!
As the two released their martial souls, the previously boisterous cheers in the stadium instantly subsided, and everyone turned their attention to the competition stage, eager to see who among the younger generation of soul masters would prove to be the strongest.

The rousing music at the scene also disappeared.

Dark golden light emerged from the surface of Long Yue's massive body, and bright spots appeared one after another on his body.

Huge pieces of dark gold battle armor were attached to Long Yue's body, making his already tall body appear even more robust and powerful.

Finally, a pair of enormous dark golden dragon wings unfolded behind Long Yue, and his aura surged to its peak in an instant.

Two-word battle armor! Mountain Dragon!
The battle armor that Long Yue forged using a spirit-forged level spirit alloy can also be directly integrated into the body.

The forging requirement for a one-word battle armor is that it must be made entirely of thousand-refined metal. The higher the level, the better the forging, but the higher the requirements for the Soul Master.

The most basic requirement for forging two-word battle armor is all spirit-forged metals, three-word battle armor is all soul-forged metals, and four-word battle armor is all heaven-forged metals.

Long Yue's battle armor is entirely made of spirit-forged alloy, incorporating various metals that are quite suitable for him. Just like Lin Xingyu's battle armor, the metals he chose are all compatible with his attributes.

The amplification brought to Soul Masters after this level of metal fusion and forging is also more powerful.

This level of battle armor is considered the most powerful among two-word battle armors.

Long Yue's teacher, Enci, is a formidable individual who has raised all four of his secondary professions to level eight.

He completed his own three-word battle armor all by himself, and even broke through his limits after the battle armor was completed. Under his nurturing, the battle armor on his body directly reached the four-word level.

He became one of the few ruthless individuals who could create a four-word battle armor without using Heavenly Forging Metal.

Similar to the Ghost Emperor and the Underworld Emperor in the Holy Spirit Cult.

The Holy Spirit Cult has no way of obtaining Heavenly Forged Metal!

The Ghost Emperor was even able to destroy his physical body and use the Four-Word Battle Armor as his new body.

After discovering that his Myriad Abyss Domain could devour and modify souls, and even fuse with metals, Lin Xingyu began to feel like he was trying to learn from the Ghost Emperor.

With the soul at its core and metal as its body, it is refined and evolved through various forces.

Although Enci's own abilities may be somewhat inferior to those of the Ghost Emperor and the Underworld Emperor.

But the fact that he was able to create a four-word battle armor on his own is enough to demonstrate his own abilities.

As Enci's disciple, Long Yue's experience in secondary professions was naturally quite substantial.

Off the field, Dai Yueyan, Dai Yun'er, Su Mo and their group breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Long Yue unleash his two-word battle armor as soon as he entered the arena.

They were afraid that Long Yue, due to his past arrogance, would underestimate his opponent and be defeated as soon as he entered the arena.

That scene was really unsightly.

……

Lin Xingyu also unleashed his two-word battle armor.

A blazing light emanated from every part of its body.

A crimson-gold armor enveloped him, and after his battle armor appeared, it directly merged into the armor on the surface of his martial soul.

A pair of enormous wings appeared behind them.

Lin Xingyu's wings are shaped like angel wings, but each piece shines with a metallic luster.

It has a kind of ferocious beauty.

Two-word battle armor! Martial God!
The powerful energy fluctuations made him resemble a small sun, creating ripples around him.

Even more dazzling light began to emanate from the soul-guided shields, which were hundreds of meters apart.

Originally, the soul-guided shields here were all made of level eight soul-guided devices, which could perfectly block the power of a Soul Douluo.

In addition, with referees watching, it generally won't affect the spectators outside the ring.

However, because of this match, a complete set of level nine soul tools was replaced overnight last night.

It's a set, not just one item!
Even attacks at the level of a Super Douluo wouldn't be able to do anything to the Soul Guide Passport here for the time being.

The two auras dispersed, only to be perfectly blocked by the surrounding soul-guided shields, though ripples continued to appear on them one after another.

The two had different auras. Lin Xingyu's aura was tall, majestic, and solemn, as if he were in a solemn sacrificial site.

Long Yue's aura is filled with a wild and untamed spirit, like a flamboyant prehistoric beast.

"Lin Xingyu, you are the most talented Soul Master I have ever seen, and the most monstrous one I have ever met. Even now, I dare not say that I can definitely win against you!"

"So in order to defeat you, I will use all my strength. If you can't hold on, remember to admit defeat." Long Yue's expression was quite serious.

Although they are known as the Eight Heavenly Kings of Monster Academy, if we talk about talent alone, there have been people who are far stronger than them in the last few hundred years.

Facing someone who was five years younger than him, but was also a two-word battle armor master.

Although Long Yue was quite surprised, he could understand it.

Long Yue felt excited about even fighting against such a peerless figure who only appears once every few centuries.

"You're the challenger!" Lin Xingyu said with a light laugh. "But because of that, I'll try my best to make sure you lose with some dignity!"

Upon hearing this, Long Yue's eyes turned slightly red. With a furious dragon roar, he stomped his foot on the ground, creating a deep crater. In an instant, his body covered a distance of over a hundred meters and charged towards Lin Xingyu.

The double-pointed spear in his hand swung down at Lin Xingyu like a club, and Lin Xingyu thrust his long spear forward to meet it.

"boom!"

The collision of the two created ripples in the air, and the space itself seemed to distort slightly, as if the impact of the collision was approaching its limit.

Long Yue's massive body suddenly staggered back several steps on the arena, leaving deep craters in its wake.

Lin Xingyu stood still without swaying at all.

"Tsk!"

Looking at Long Yue's massive body, Lin Xingyu clicked his tongue in displeasure.

After his martial spirit was attached to him, his body was enhanced, but it was far from being as tall as Long Yue's sudden transformation.

Ultimately, the Mountain Dragon King is known for its physical strength.

Long Yue's first and second soul skills lit up one after another.

"Mountains and rivers!"

"river!"

After the first clash, Long Yue clearly realized that he was no match for the monster in terms of pure strength.

With the strength and defense of the Mountain Dragon King's body, he might be able to hold out for a long time, but a battle where he is used as a punching bag by the opponent is meaningless.

He simply used his soul skill directly.

It was as if a towering mountain had truly appeared above the arena, and small hills seemed to spring up all over the arena itself.

An invisible river simultaneously appeared in the sky and on the ground.

It filled the entire arena.

"Boom!"

Mountains and rivers fell at the same time, while Lin Xingyu thrust upwards with his spear.

The first spirit ring on his body lit up at the same time.

The power of the entire body and the invisible magnetic field converged upwards.

The sound of their collision echoed throughout the entire arena.

The collapsed mountains and rivers fell all around, crashing heavily onto the competition stage.

It seemed to shake the entire stadium for a moment.

Looking around, the rocks that had just fallen slowly dissipated, leaving only the deep pit in place as a reminder that what had just fallen was not just a simple illusion.

In that instant, Long Yue's physique grew even taller, and he was enveloped in the aura of mountains and rivers, as if he were made of the earth and the rivers.

"swamp!"

Seeing that the first two soul skills were not very effective, Long Yue took the opportunity to activate the third soul skill.

The power of mountains and rivers quickly formed a swamp, and an invisible force field tightly bound Lin Xingyu.

This caused him to expend more physical and spiritual energy than usual with each movement.

"not bad!"

Lin Xingyu chuckled and said.

His second and third black spirit rings lit up simultaneously.

Glazed True Fire, Mysterious Gold Armor!

The enhancement from the Xuanjin Armor made his entire body glow.

The sharp aura caused a stinging sensation between Long Yue's brows.

At the same time, amber-colored flames began to appear on his body.

At this moment, Lin Xingyu began to activate most of his attributes.

The Glazed True Fire started as a small ball, but then it swelled with the wind and instantly surged upstream against the massive torrent summoned by Long Yue!

Under normal circumstances, water controls fire.

But is the Glazed True Fire he summoned an ordinary flame?
With a lifespan of tens of thousands of years, his soul skill is even considered to be a rule-based skill to a certain extent.

These flames, instead of burning in the river, instantly used the torrents summoned by the dragon as fuel to burn back!

These torrents were ultimately created by Long Yue using his own soul skills and soul power, along with a certain amount of the primordial energy of heaven and earth.

The Glazed True Fire itself has the effect of burning essence, energy, and spirit.

When the two collided, the flames actually restrained the torrent!
Lin Xingyu thrust out his long spear once again.

Qi, blood, soul power, and spirit were simultaneously integrated into the weapon in his hand.

Sharp, sturdy, and enhanced with a force field!
Self-created Soul Skill, Extreme Power!
Lin Xingyu thrust his attack directly at Long Yue's main body.

At this moment, Long Yue let out a deep dragon roar, and the power formed by the swamp did its best to block the power of this attack.

"Unmoving as a mountain!"

"Flowing like a river!"

"boom!"

The steam waves rolled in, and the torrent was directly evaporated.

The phantom of the mountain that was then formed exploded, and the mountains and rivers collapsed instantly.

A direct hit on Long Yue's true form!
"boom!"

Long Yue swung his double-pointed spear.

The two collided once again.

The immense force caused Long Yue's hands to tremble, ultimately distorting his movements.

But it barely managed to block Lin Xingyu's attack.

Long Yue's fourth soul skill lit up.

"Mountain Hidden Form!"

This is a soul skill that combines offense and defense, increasing one's strength and defense while also enhancing one's explosive power.

This made each of his attacks as heavy as a mountain, yet also possessed explosive speed. Absolute strength can also bring terrifying speed!

At the same time, his torso also emitted streaks of earthy yellow light.

His whole being exudes an aura of the earth, profound and expansive!
Be steadfast and unmoving like the earth!
Mountain Dragon King's Body Soul Bone Skill: "Eternal Solidity of Mountains and Rivers!"

This is a purely defensive enhancement-type soul skill.

It allows one to connect with the earth and transmit the power received from the earth deep into the earth.

At the same time, Long Yue's body continued to expand.

It expanded directly from five meters to ten meters, truly resembling a mountain standing in place.

But at the same time, the blood-red color in Long Yue's eyes deepened.

Looking at Long Yue ahead, Lin Xingyu's lips twitched slightly.

He gestured to compare the sizes of the two, and wondered what his own size was.
A pedicure master?
Lin Xingyu lit up his fifth spirit ring for the first time on the arena.

"Crimson Gold Incarnation!"

This is one of the few amplification-type soul skills possessed by Lin Xingyu.

While activating the power of his martial spirit, he can also communicate and integrate with the elements, allowing him to better utilize the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy).

He instantly entered a semi-elemental state, and his body, which was standing still, began to expand in the same way.

It integrates more closely with the primordial energy of heaven and earth, and can add more primordial energy to every move it makes!
The rosy clouds swirled and shimmered with iridescent colors, a dazzling and dreamlike light emanating from Lin Xingyu's body, constantly flowing and blooming.

Three meters, five meters, ten meters!
In an instant, Lin Xingyu's body swelled to the size of a leaping dragon.

At the same time, all of his attributes were fully activated.

Rumble!
Thunder rumbled across the sky.

Having acquired the lightning attribute early on, and combined with the Soul Spirit Thunder Hell Vine, it attracted a large amount of lightning.

The magnetic field he controlled also naturally merged into the lightning.

The thunderous roar intensified, illuminating the arena into a silvery world.

Electromagnetic integration!
Boom!

In his semi-elemental state, Lin Xingyu's manipulation of elemental power reached its limit.

Lightning and fire elements rapidly converged in the air around the arena.

Thunder and fire intertwined!

They landed around Long Yue.

Thunder should have been extinguished by the earth, but under Lin Xingyu's manipulation, mountains collapsed and rivers evaporated wherever it passed!

On the arena, the terrain that Long Yue had modified with his soul skill was almost completely destroyed by Lin Xingyu in an instant.

Lin Xingyu also restricted Long Yue's activity area to a relatively small space.

Originally, Long Yue had essentially transformed the entire arena into his own domain, within which he could freely alter mountains and rivers.

These were all his advantages.

But when Lin Xingyu entered a semi-elemental state.

His domain was completely shattered by Lin Xingyu's sheer force.

Thunder and fire intertwined as one, like a calamity descended from heaven.

Long Yue is like a dragon undergoing tribulation.

Ultimately, the alteration of the surrounding terrain is centered on one's own soul power.

Every time Long Yue tried to change the surrounding terrain, Lin Xingyu's attack would follow, rendering all his efforts futile.

The audience below the stage fell completely silent, and even the host, Fang'er, stopped commentating.

The fight between the two was truly spectacular.

The spectacular clash between the thunder, the volcano, and the river certainly gave the audience a thrill.

Seeing this, Long Yue stopped making any further efforts.

With his self-constructed domain destroyed, he lost the advantage of being able to blend into the mountains and rivers at any time.

The situation became even more unfavorable for a time.

He hurtled toward Lin Xingyu with tremendous speed, wielding a double-pointed spear over ten meters long, like a charging tyrannical dragon.

As his soul power surged into it, the long spear in Lin Xingyu's hand also expanded to more than ten meters.

"It's a pity that the battle armor weapon hasn't been made yet. Otherwise, if we add the battle armor weapon on top, I don't know how powerful it would become."

Lin Xingyu sighed inwardly.

Battle armor weapons are generally standard equipment for three-word battle armor masters, just as two-word battle armor masters are typically equipped with wings. Although two-word battle armor masters can also possess battle armor weapons, the difficulty is generally quite high.

Just like how a one-word battle armor can also have wings, it's extremely troublesome and the effect isn't obvious, so it's far better to directly create a two-word battle armor.

Furthermore, if you don't want to replace your three-word battle armor when you reach that stage, it's best to forge it with soul-forged metal from the beginning.

boom!
The two giant weapons collided in mid-air. Even if Long Yue used his Soul Bone Technique at this moment, he could still dissolve the power and merge it into the earth.

However, in the collision, its strength was still inferior to Lin Xingyu's.

After the spears in his hands were knocked off course, the center of his hand was wide open.

Lin Xingyu then thrust his long spear out again.

It was embedded straight into Long Yue's shoulder.

"Roar!"

At this moment, Long Yue let out a painful roar.

At this moment, even a hint of clarity shone through those bloodshot eyes, as if the pain had brought back his reason.

His eyes were filled with a clear and pure gaze.

But the pain of having his shoulder pierced also filled Long Yue with immense anger.

Long Yue's so-called madness was not that he had actually gone completely insane.

Instead, it was his own rationality that sank, while the power of the Mountain Dragon King's bloodline rose.

The body was originally controlled by the mind, but now the mind is controlled by the bloodline.

Their fighting instincts alone are even stronger.

In battle, everyone will choose the option that is more advantageous to themselves.

In short, it's like having a Mountain Dragon King bloodline booster online!
Human consciousness has gone offline.

The suffering we are experiencing now briefly brings us back to consciousness.

Enraged, Long Yue recklessly activated his sixth soul skill!

The Wrath of the Mountain Dragon King!
His eyes turned completely blood red as he chose to fully activate his Mountain Dragon King bloodline and entrust everything to his fighting instincts!

The dragonification phenomenon became more pronounced throughout the person, with fewer human characteristics.

He was just a little short of truly becoming a mountain dragon king.

At this moment, Long Yue seemed to have truly entered the state of his Martial Soul True Body.

A Soul Master's seventh Soul Skill must be the Martial Soul True Form.

If a low-level Soul Master has enough Soul Power, they can enter the state of a pseudo-Martial Soul True Body, but this state causes great damage to the soul of the low-level Soul Master.

Normal two-word battle armor masters can enter the pseudo-martial soul true form state.

Their Soul Emperor cultivation, combined with the comprehensive boost from their two-word battle armor, was enough for them to master this ability.

Just like a Soul Master who is level 70 but has not obtained the seventh Soul Ring can still use the Pseudo Martial Soul True Body.

This is an instinct etched deep within one's martial spirit.

……

on the rostrum.

Enci watched as Long Yue unleashed his sixth soul skill, his hand calmly pressing down on the armrest.

Long Yue was never able to control the Mountain Dragon King bloodline within him.

His sixth soul skill, in particular, is similar to berserk mode.

At this point, Long Yue was basically out of control.

Enci hesitated whether she should go down and stop the match.

After hesitating for a moment, Enci finally chose to give up.

Since Long Yue has already gone this far, let him finish this match!

But this is only for this one match; he must be sealed away immediately after this match.

Otherwise, the backlash from the Mountain Dragon King's bloodline would be enough to make Long Yue pay a huge price!

……

In the arena.

With another deep dragon roar, Long Yue went completely berserk.

His combat power actually increased significantly, and following the instincts of his bloodline, he began to spontaneously utilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Although his thinking is somewhat chaotic, his mental strength is undeniable.

Dragon's might further compensated for his own lack of spiritual power, unlike Lin Xingyu who used spiritual power and willpower to influence and control the primordial energy of heaven and earth.

Long Yue uses his bloodline and dragon might to control the primordial energy of heaven and earth.

However, no matter what he did, the energy of heaven and earth that he could influence was limited to a small part around his own body.

Lin Xingyu completely seized all the influence of the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth's vital energy).

Although its influence on the surrounding area has been completely eliminated, it can only affect a small part of the surrounding area.

But when Long Yue charged over, he was still like a mountain, giving the feeling of a collapsing landscape.

"Boom!"

The sound of thunder was endless.

Lin Xingyu's spear was imbued with compressed lightning and flames, which intertwined and collided with each other.

They were both enemies and integrated into one.

Lin Xingyu stepped forward, unleashing the power of harmony between man and nature to its fullest extent.

In terms of absolute strength, he completely surpassed Long Yue.

"boom!"

With each collision, everyone in the arena could see that Lin Xingyu had completely suppressed Long Yue.

Each collision deflected Long Yue's weapon, which then pierced through Long Yue's body.

His body was covered in an earthy yellow light, and every wound he sustained was quickly healed by the power of the Mountain Dragon King.

The pain from each injury only made Long Yue more miserable.

The deep roar of the dragon echoed throughout the entire arena one after another.

It even echoed throughout the entire stadium!

"Boom!"

Finally, with a collision, the double-pointed spear in Long Yue's hand was knocked away by Lin Xingyu.

Long Yue simply stopped looking for his weapon and used his dragon claw as a weapon to smash at Lin Xingyu.

Lin Xingyu once again consolidated his own strength.

Their essence, energy, and spirit are all integrated into one.

At that moment, he felt as if he could clearly control every part of his body.

How to breathe to make yourself stronger, how to exert force better, and how to channel power into your limbs and bones amidst the rapid beating of your heart.

"Boom!"

A continuous rumble of thunder followed.

The ring was filled with a foul odor.

The long spear pierced through Long Yue's dragon claw and then became embedded in his body.

Thunder and flames began to explode violently.

Long Yue's right claw was severely injured by Lin Xingyu's attack, and even the earthy yellow light covering Long Yue's body began to disintegrate rapidly at this moment.

"Roar!"

Seeing the still roaring dragon leap, Lin Xingyu stepped forward, channeling his power throughout his body—lightning, flames, magnetic fields…

He punched Long Yue in the left arm.

With the feedback from this blow, Lin Xingyu grabbed Long Yue and slammed him onto the metal arena.

It smashed a deep crater in the ground.

Then Lin Xingyu's attacks rained down one after another.

Meanwhile, triangular dragon scales flew off Long Yue's body.

The Mountain Dragon King's aura was also growing weaker and weaker.

"Long Yue concedes defeat in this match!"

Grace stepped forward and personally announced the results of the competition.

Lin Xingyu then stopped what he was doing.
