Douluo Continent: The Ruler of Time, Reigning Supreme

Chapter 92 Battle against Nan Qiuqiu

At this moment, dozens of Earth Dragon Sect disciples were practicing in pairs, with shouts and the sounds of soul power colliding filling the air. Many of them were the same young men and women who had followed Nan Qiuqiu earlier.

Upon seeing the sect leader arrive in person, all the disciples immediately stopped what they were doing, bowed respectfully, and then focused their curious gazes on Yin Chen and his group of strangers.

When they saw Nan Qiuqiu and Yin Chen step onto the largest arena in the center one after the other, surprised discussions immediately spread like a tide.

"Young Master wants to have a match with someone?"

"Who is that boy? I've never seen him before. He's not from Dragon City, is he?"

“I know, I know, they are from Shrek Academy.”

"This is going to be good. Our young sect leader is the strongest among the younger generation of our Earth Dragon Sect. Apart from Yu Tianlong of the Heaven Dragon Sect, who can suppress her?"

Nan Qiuqiu enjoys extremely high prestige among the younger generation of the Earth Dragon Gate, and her strength is widely recognized as top-notch. Now that a strange young man is going to fight her, everyone is extremely interested.

Some of the bolder disciples have even started to set up betting pools in private, betting on the outcome of this competition.

Looking at the excited expressions of the disciples below the stage, Nan Shuishui smiled gently and did not say anything to stop them.

Regardless of the outcome, this competition will only benefit Dilongmen.

If they win, the prestige of the Dragon Gate will naturally increase greatly; if they lose, it will also severely dampen the arrogance of these disciples who are usually somewhat haughty, making them understand that there are always people more powerful than themselves. It can be said to be killing two birds with one stone.

On the arena, Nan Qiuqiu and Yin Chen stood facing each other.

Nan Qiuqiu's long pink hair moved without wind, and her beautiful eyes blazed with fighting spirit. She shouted:
"Hey, Shrek, don't cry if you lose later. My Rouge Dragon is no pushover."

Yin Chen remained calm and composed, nodding slightly: "My name is Yin Chen, nice to meet you."

The referee was an elder from the Earth Dragon Sect. Seeing that both sides were ready, he announced loudly:

"The competition begins."

The moment the elder referee finished speaking, Nan Qiuqiu let out a sharp cry, and a powerful surge of soul power erupted from her body.

A pink light shot up behind her, condensing into a graceful, dragon-shaped phantom.

This dragon is different from the ferocious and majestic dragons of traditional perception. Its entire body is a dreamy pink color, with delicate and smooth scales, like the finest rouge and jade. Its horns are small and exquisite, while its eyes are a deep purple, exuding an aura of mystery and nobility.

This is the top-tier dragon-type martial soul—the Rouge Dragon.

With her martial spirit possessing her, Nan Qiuqiu's arms were quickly covered with a layer of fine pink dragon scales, her fingertips became slightly sharp, and a strange force field carrying a destructive aura spread out from her center.

At the same time, three perfectly matched spirit rings—two yellow and one purple—rose from beneath her feet, encircling her body and demonstrating her solid cultivation at the Spirit Master level.

"Hmph, watch this."

Nan Qiuqiu didn't hold back and launched the first attack.

However, just as she was about to make her move, Yin Chen on the other side also moved.

A mysterious aura, seemingly transcending the river of time, spread out.

A blurry yet noble golden phantom flashed past behind him, not fully solidified, yet exuding a chilling majesty.

What is most striking are his eyes, the pupils transformed into slowly rotating precision clocks, the golden hands seemingly measuring the trajectory of the birth and death of all things.

At the same time, three spirit rings—one yellow and two purple—quietly appeared.

"hiss--!"

"The second spirit ring is a thousand years old? How is that possible?!"

"His martial spirit... what is that? A humanoid martial spirit?" "Those eyes... so eerie, yet so... captivating?"

The entire training ground erupted in chaos.

The disciples of the Earth Dragon Sect stared wide-eyed at the soul ring configuration on Yin Chen's body in disbelief.

The fact that their second spirit ring was a thousand years old completely overturned their understanding.

Even some of the older disciples and elders looked horrified.

The mystery and divine charm brought by Yin Chen's ruling martial spirit at that time made them feel a shock from the depths of their souls.

On the high platform, Nan Shuishui's gentle smile froze for a moment, and her eyes flashed with astonishment.

'A second spirit ring a thousand years old… Shrek Academy is indeed unfathomable. This child is no ordinary person.'

Even Ma Xiaotao, Ling Luochen, and Xixi, the three inner court disciples, were seeing Yin Chen release his martial soul and soul rings for the first time.

A hint of surprise flashed in Ma Xiaotao's crimson eyes, Ling Luochen's icy blue eyes narrowed slightly, and Xixi also stared intently at the arena.

The way they looked at Yin Chen was with unprecedented importance.

As Yin Chen's direct opponent, Nan Qiuqiu felt it most intensely.

When she met those clock eyes that seemed to hold endless secrets of time and space, her heart skipped a beat.

After Yin Chen released his martial soul, the ethereal and otherworldly divine charm emanating from him momentarily stunned her, causing two blushes to rise on her face and her previously high fighting spirit to falter.

"What...what are you looking at?"

Nan Qiuqiu cried out in embarrassment and annoyance, trying to cover up her embarrassment with her voice.

"First Soul Skill, Annihilation Light."

She shook her head, forcibly concentrating her mind. Her first spirit ring shone brightly, and she opened her mouth to spit out a thin, pink beam of light.

Wherever the beam of light passed, the air seemed to be annihilated, leaving behind a brief vacuum trail, carrying a terrifying aura that eroded soul power and matter, shooting straight at Yin Chen.

Faced with this strange attack, Yin Chen did not move, but the invisible air around him rippled slightly.

"A dust-free land".

The pink beam of light, powerful enough to annihilate energy, seemed to hit an incredibly slippery, flowing barrier when it came within a foot of Yin Chen's body. Its trajectory was forcibly deflected, grazing the hem of his clothes and shooting backward, where it was silently absorbed by the arena's protective shield.

"what?"

Nan Qiuqiu was stunned; her extinguished light had never been so easily dispelled before.

Dustless Land, one of Yin Chen's self-created soul skills based on his innate Wind of Time.

With himself as the core, a layer of high-speed airflow is maintained on the surface of his body, constantly flowing close to the skin.

This airflow will "absorb" and deflect any approaching long-range energy attacks, causing them to slide off the surface of the airflow like a "slippery bullet".

At the same time, he can gain powerful maneuverability by changing the direction of airflow in different parts of his body, achieving movement and change of direction that almost defy physical inertia.

This soul skill requires very precise operation and puts Yin Chen's control over airflow to the test.

Yin Chen had no habit of passively taking a beating. With a wave of his right hand, the air surged, and several wind blades shot out, accompanied by a piercing friction sound.
