Douluo: This Legend of the Dragon King is not quite right

Faced with Lu Jun's almost humiliating words, Cao Dezhi's eyes turned icy cold. He quickly supported Zang Xin, whose breathing was slightly disordered due to old injuries and anger, and said in a deep voice:

"Stay calm and don't let his words provoke you."

Zang Xin took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the surging blood and chaotic memories, and his eyes regained a complex light intertwined with deep affection.

He and Cao Dezhi exchanged a glance. Without a word, their century-old tacit understanding allowed them to comprehend each other's feelings.

The Ruthless Sword and the Passionate Sword, these two super martial souls representing completely opposite and extreme emotions, instantly merged their energy at this moment.

An indescribable, immense pressure erupted from the two, as if some power beyond individual limits was awakening. The legend of their invincibility was not unfounded.

"Attack!" Cao Dezhi shouted coldly, his figure moving like lightning, taking the lead in launching the attack.

The merciless sword in his hand, seemingly capable of severing all emotions in the world, emitted a piercing clang. Gray light surged from the blade, and with a simple, straight thrust, the ruthless sword intent, condensed to its utmost, soared into the sky, tearing through the clouds like a roaring gray dragon, carrying a deathly stillness that extinguished life, and fiercely pierced Lu Jun's face.

Wherever it passed, the space rippled with subtle distortions, as if it could not withstand the ruthless and inhuman sharpness.

At the same time, Zang Xin did not launch a strong attack. Although there was still a trace of blood in his mouth, his hand holding the Amorous Sword was extremely steady.

He remained where he was, his aura becoming ethereal and profound.

To many uninformed people, he, possessing such a fierce sword spirit, should naturally be a power-attack type battle spirit master.

But the truth is quite the opposite. The Amorous Douluo Zang Xin is an extremely rare and terrifying mental control type battle soul master!

This is precisely what makes him most praised, and also most feared.

Almost all of his soul skills are closely related to the control of mind and emotions. He was once hailed as the number one crowd control expert in the world, especially in the area control ability on large battlefields, which was unmatched by anyone.

Just as Cao Dezhi charged forward, Lu Jun casually swung his Ice Abyss Sword forward, unleashing a tidal wave of frost that swept across the sky, carrying an extreme chill that could freeze the soul, engulfing Cao Dezhi in an overwhelming rush—

On Zang Xin's body, the fifth spirit ring suddenly shone with a magnificent brilliance.

Just before the devastating wave of frost was about to touch his body, his figure became illusory and indistinct, like the moon reflected in water, and the next moment, he vanished into thin air.

The torrent of frigid frost pierced through his illusory afterimage, but failed to cause him any harm.

Almost simultaneously, Zang Xin's figure had already crossed the spatial distance and appeared in front of Lu Jun.

Fifth Soul Skill - Recall.

This is a rather peculiar soul skill in the world of soul masters, and was even considered somewhat useless in its early years, yet Zang Xin resolutely chose it as his fifth soul ring skill.

When his power reached its peak as his cultivation improved, people were shocked to discover that this soul skill, which seemed only capable of bullying the weak and lacked actual lethality, was actually a divine skill when used properly.

Its effect is simple yet bizarre: once in the state of revelation, the caster becomes instantly immune to attacks of all energy forms.

Note that it is immune to energy attacks, but not to pure physical attacks.

The moment the energy attack hits its illusory body, the tracking effect activates, and the caster will instantly appear in front of the attacker, following the trajectory of the energy attack.

The reason it was considered useless in the early years was that for a mental control type Soul Master with a relatively weak body, it was undoubtedly like a lamb entering a tiger's den. Even if he dodged the fatal blow, he would still be willingly handing himself over to a powerful attack type opponent. Wouldn't that be courting death? However, when Zang Xin reached the level of Title Douluo and even Limit Douluo, everyone realized how farsighted and far-sighted his choice was back then.

The contemporary Spirit Pagoda Master, Qian Gu Dongfeng, once publicly commented that although the Amorous Douluo was not the strongest Limit Douluo in his mind, he was the opponent he least wanted to face, without exception!

The reason is that Zang Xin chose soul skills that were all designed to be as disgusting as possible. Apart from his troublesome domain, this tracking soul skill was one of his core strengths.

With his ability to track and close the distance, combined with his set of powerful and unpredictable control skills, he can make any opponent extremely frustrated. Qian Gu Dongfeng himself suffered greatly in a sparring match and almost lost his skin.

At this moment, Lu Jun was facing the signature combo that had disgusted an entire generation of powerful figures!

Having successfully traced the source, Zang Xin instantly closed the distance to within three feet of Lu Jun.

His eyes suddenly became incredibly deep, as if reflecting the passing years and endless tenderness, and containing countless past events and memories.

He gazed at Lu Jun's calm, expressionless face, his melodious voice possessing a magnetic quality that struck straight to the soul, softly uttering two words:
"once."

The first spirit ring lit up.

First Soul Skill - Once Upon a Time!
Effect: It triggers the purest and deepest emotional imprint in the target's heart, recreating the shock and confusion of first love, and forcing all of the target's actions, including soul skills and physical movements, back to the state one second ago!
This was merely his seemingly ordinary first soul skill.

Back then, it was precisely because of this seemingly insignificant but actually infinitely potential soul skill that he was spotted by the Tang Sect at first glance, directly taken into the inner sect, and given special attention and training.

Tracing back to the past, breaking through all laws, unparalleled control over the field!
All the older generation of powerful figures knew that once Zang Xin got close, what would inevitably follow was this unpredictable past.

Even knowing this, for a whole century, no one has ever been able to truly break his chain of control techniques.

All one can do is try one's best to improve one's defense and mental resistance, and tough it out.

If this combo hadn't also greatly affected Zang Xin's emotions, preventing him from launching a fatal attack during the process, its terrifying power would have been immeasurable, making it truly unsolvable.

However, precisely because of these two great soul skills, almost no one among the strong of his era was willing to fight him, as it was a double torment of both mind and body.

However, today, this combination, hailed as a divine skill, has fallen into Lu Jun's hands.

However, the scene that Lu Jun was expected to freeze in his movements and have his soul power return did not occur.

He remained standing still, his gaze unwavering.

The emotional power that had once been enough to make even a Limit Douluo waver and be restricted in his actions vanished completely upon him, like a mud ox sinking into the sea or a drop of rain falling into a boundless ocean, without even causing a ripple.

He seemed to be a special being who had no past, or whose spirit and will had transcended the influence of such emotional levels.

"How can it be?!"

The deep emotion on Zang Xin's face froze instantly, replaced by disbelief, shock, and horror.

His past had absolutely no effect on Lu Jun?

Is this person truly heartless, or is his spiritual world a void, devoid of any past experiences to stir within him? (End of Chapter)
