Douluo Amon: I am the Heavenly Venerable of the Dragon King

Five black water spheres materialized out of thin air and rushed towards the five people.

"Third Soul Skill: Blue Silver Golden Light Array".

Tang Wulin activated his third soul skill again, trying to peel off the black water sphere. Although the color was a bit strange, the black water sphere was undoubtedly formed by the condensation of water elements.

However, to Tang Wulin's surprise, despite being inside the Blue Silver Gold Light Array, the five black water spheres were not stripped away by the elements. Instead, they hurtled towards them with a powerful momentum.

"Something's strange!" Tang Wulin didn't choose to confront it head-on, but instead dodged it. Unexpectedly, after missing him, the black water ball bounced off the ground and slammed towards him again, just like a bouncy basketball.

"Blue Silver Grass!" A large swarm of Blue Silver Grass rose up in front of Tang Wulin, forming a wall.

However, to Tang Wulin's surprise, the black water ball suddenly turned, bypassed the Blue Silver Grass wall, and hurtled towards him again.

"Can you still control the direction of the water sphere at will?" Tang Wulin frowned, and the three purple soul rings on his body suddenly disappeared, replaced by a golden halo.

A halo radiated, his right arm swelled, and golden dragon scales spread out. At the same time, streaks of dazzling starlight rapidly condensed on his right hand, and battle armor gauntlets appeared. Then, he slammed his golden dragon claw fiercely towards the water sphere.

How could he not go all out against a Soul King with five Soul Rings, all at the ten-thousand-year level?

"Bang!" The black water sphere was instantly crushed by the golden dragon claw, but Tang Wulin's expression turned somewhat serious.

Just after he broke the water sphere, the bursting water splashed onto him, and Tang Wulin was surprised to find that a large portion of his soul power and even his blood energy had been absorbed by the water.

"This water is strange, it's not safe to touch it." Tang Wulin was about to loudly warn his companions to be careful, but he didn't expect the situation to be even worse than he thought.

Ye Xinglan and Xie Xie were both covered in water and looked rather pale, clearly having been affected as well. Gu Yue, on the other hand, was unharmed; judging from her appearance, she had obviously dealt with the water ball directly.

However, Xu Lizhi's situation was not good. The black water sphere, like a water tank, was upside down on his head. His already fat face was now completely red, whether from holding his breath or something else, no one knew.

"Lizhi!" Ye Xinglan looked at him anxiously, but didn't know what to do. She tried to grab it, but the water sphere began to absorb her soul power, growing larger and larger. But if she tried to cut it with her sword, she was afraid of hurting Xu Lizhi.

"This is troublesome." Tang Wulin immediately ran to Xu Lizhi's side and grabbed with his Golden Dragon Claw, wanting to see if he could crush the black water ball with the crushing effect of the Golden Dragon Claw.

"Buzz." But this black water sphere was as smooth as flowing water, and the crushing effect of his Golden Dragon Claw could not be exerted at all.

"Gu Yue." Ye Xinglan looked at Gu Yue for help. Xu Lizhi had followed her since childhood. To her, Xu Lizhi was like a younger brother. Now that he was in trouble, how could she not be anxious?

“I can’t help it either,” Gu Yue said in a deep voice. “This black water sphere is too strange. It can absorb soul power and grow larger. If I rashly transfer soul power to it, it will only grow bigger and bigger. If I freeze it, then…”

Gu Yue didn't say it explicitly, but the others understood what she meant: this could very likely cause Xu Lizhi's head to freeze.

Chapter 240 Martial Soul Kun

Otherwise, with a Soul Master's lung capacity, how could they start to run out of oxygen so quickly?

"Right now, we can only do our best to defeat that Soul King first," Tang Wulin said in a deep voice. Xu Lizhi's situation is very bad, and the only way to save him is to defeat the Soul King named Cai Xukun.

In that case, this soul skill will likely crumble on its own.

The others nodded in agreement with Tang Wulin's opinion.

As for backing down and apologizing to Cai Xukun? Sorry, they really have no such intention. Who are they? They are students of Shrek Academy, the number one academy in the world. The honor of the academy will never allow them to back down before the battle even begins.

Furthermore, the fact that Xu Lizhi had been rendered helpless by the other party had also ignited their anger. Even if we were the ones who launched the sneak attack, didn't we explain things to you? As a Soul King, to be so unforgiving and arrogant is simply too much.

"The opponent's martial soul is very strange. Does any of you recognize it?" Tang Wulin said in a deep voice, looking at Cai Xukun who was not making a move and letting them discuss it.

Even if the other party hasn't made a move yet, Tang Wulin has already decided that he must teach them a lesson later. Shrek Academy students cannot be humiliated.

"No." Xie Xie and Gu Yue shook their heads. They didn't recognize the other party's martial soul, but it looked like a whale-type martial soul.

Whale-type spirit beasts have always been the overlords of the ocean, much like dragon-type spirit beasts on land.

Whale-type martial souls are rare, but once they become a soul master's martial soul, they are guaranteed to be at least a high-level martial soul. Not to mention, the opponent's martial soul doesn't look simple at all.

“I should recognize that martial spirit.” Ye Xinglan hesitated for a moment before finally saying it.

Upon hearing this, the other three looked at her and asked, "What kind of martial soul is it?"

"Kun!"

"Kun?" The others were puzzled, even Gu Yue. She didn't know much about the soul beasts in the ocean, since she was only the ruler of the soul beasts, a title bestowed upon her by the land-based soul beasts.

“That’s right.” Ye Xinglan nodded, her expression somewhat heavy. “Kun is a kind of soul beast that lived in ancient times. Actually, I don’t know much about this kind of soul beast. I’ve only seen similar records in the books in the academy.”

Ye Xinglan paused for a moment, then continued, "The records in the academy's library say this: According to legend, the 'Kun' is the largest fish-type soul beast in the ocean, possessing extreme darkness and water attributes. It is the top predator in the ocean and the ancestor of all whale-type soul beasts."

Seeing that Ye Xinglan had stopped there, Xie Xie quickly urged, "What else?"

Ye Xinglan shrugged. "The record ends here. I don't know anything else. Even the recorder himself probably didn't know much about this kind of soul beast. That book seems to be a unique copy recorded by the Spirit Hall personnel 20,000 years ago."

However, due to the vagueness of some of its contents, it was once considered a fabrication. Even a famous historical figure once said that the book was nothing more than the author making things up to attract attention, and he also criticized its contents.

Although some of the spirit beasts mentioned above have been verified as having actually existed, the existence of spirit beasts like the 'Kun,' with its exaggerated descriptions, remains questionable.

Tang Wulin nodded. If the legendary super soul beast Kun truly existed, it would be impossible for it to become a human soul master's martial soul. After all, if such a soul beast were to transform into a martial soul, it would at least be a super martial soul.

Human Soul Masters could never withstand the pressure of awakening a Martial Soul, especially with dual extreme attributes. It's simply impossible. Just like the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear could never become a Soul Master's Martial Soul.

Even so, it's still quite troublesome. Does it possess both darkness and water attributes? That does indeed match the ability it just displayed—the ability to absorb soul power. It's a bit tricky.

Tang Wulin glanced at Gu Yue, who immediately understood. Her hands began to move rapidly, and the surrounding elements began to converge towards her. So what if the opponent was a Soul King? They had experienced battles where they were fighting opponents of higher levels before.

With a powerful stomp of his left foot on the ground, Tang Wulin sprang into the air like a bronze arrow, his right arm raised in front of him, his blood surging and surging.

The Golden Dragon King unleashed a powerful aura, his eyes turning completely golden, and the blood and qi emanating from his body exuding a fierce intensity. His right golden dragon claw was raised in front of him for defense.

So what if his martial soul is suspected to be related to 'Kun'? No matter how strong it is, can it compare to his Golden Dragon King bloodline? The Golden Dragon Claw arrived in front of his opponent with lightning speed, and Cai Xukun also raised his right hand, clenched his fist, and faced it head-on.

Just as the two sides were about to collide, the dragon roar within Tang Wulin's body suddenly became more intense, and a huge golden dragon head with a diameter of more than two feet appeared without warning, directly devouring Cai Xukun's right arm.

A golden dragon awes the heavens!

Success! That was Tang Wulin's first thought. Their age was their advantage. Even if the other party said they wouldn't look down on them, how could a Soul King really take a Soul Venerable's fight so seriously?

Not to mention that Gu Yue, who was gathering an elemental storm, was far more eye-catching than him.

Immediately afterwards, Tang Wulin felt a strong force coming from him, and then his right claw was clamped down by the other party.

"What the hell?" Tang Wulin was shocked. In his perception, the power of his punch seemed to have been swallowed up. The powerful strength and characteristics of his Golden Dragon Claw were completely unleashed, and at the same time, his soul power was being rapidly absorbed.

Using his right arm, Tang Wulin tried to throw his opponent up; he was quite confident in his strength.

However, his opponent clearly did not give him any room to maneuver. When his left arm grabbed Tang Wulin's right claw, he raised his right arm and punched Tang Wulin in the abdomen.

!!!

Tang Wulin raised his left hand to defend, but Cai Xukun's right arm seemed to become ethereal, passing through his left hand before solidifying and striking his abdomen.

"Ugh." A tremendous force surged through his abdomen, causing Tang Wulin to spit out a mouthful of bitter water. However, his Golden Dragon Claw was caught by Cai Xukun, preventing him from being knocked away. He could only spit out a mouthful of bitter water and kneel on the ground.

Chapter 241 Capture

Seeing Tang Wulin flying towards her, Ye Xinglan immediately made a judgment, abandoning her attack and using her hands to brace herself against Tang Wulin's body from behind. A muffled groan followed. She was propelled backward a distance by the immense force.

Ultimately, the difference in soul power was too great. No matter how strong Tang Wulin was, with the help of Golden Dragon Shocking Heaven and Gauntlet Battle Armor, he was at most equivalent to a four-ring Soul Master level expert, and perhaps he could contend with a Soul King when he unleashed his power.

However, Cai Xukun in front of him was clearly not an ordinary Soul King. Five ten-thousand-year Soul Rings—even in Shrek Academy, probably only Fors could achieve such a feat.

Xie Xie appeared silently behind Cai Xukun, his Light Dragon Dagger and Shadow Dragon Dagger appearing simultaneously, poised to stab Cai Xukun's shoulders.

However, streams of dark water suddenly appeared around Cai Xukun's body.

Xie Xie immediately recognized that this was the water flow that Cai Xukun had used when the group attacked them at the beginning. At that time, the water flow was combined with the pressure of soul power, which directly pushed them away.

The difference is that the water flow was normal back then, but now it's just black.

The Light Dragon Dagger and Shadow Dragon Dagger stabbed straight down, but to Xie Xie's surprise, Cai Xukun didn't even glance at him in the face of his attack, letting it fall.

"Drip drip drip".

The sound of flowing water rang out as the Light Dragon Dagger and Shadow Dragon Dagger plunged into the water, but Xie Xie did not seem to be happy.

"Fell into a trap!"

Xie Xie felt a chill run down his spine. He sensed his soul power rapidly draining away. In just a few seconds, his soul power had already been reduced by seventy or eighty percent in the mere contact between his hands, his martial soul, and the black water. Even his martial soul was beginning to falter.

"hateful."

Xie Xie tried to pull himself away from the water, but the current contained a powerful suction that held his hands firmly in place. Weakened by the loss of much of his soul power and with much of his blood and energy being drained, Xie Xie felt dizzy, and then everything went black.

"Why was the other party able to absorb the soul power of the Light Dragon Dagger?" This was Xie Xie's thought before he fell into a coma.

Wasn't the opponent's martial soul a combination of darkness and water attributes? He wasn't surprised that it could devour the Shadow Dragon Dagger's soul power, but why could it also devour the Light Dragon Dagger, which was of the light attribute? Wasn't it afraid of attribute clashes?

Cai Xukun manipulated the water flow, placing the unconscious Xie Xie aside. He only intended to teach Tang Wulin and the others a lesson, not to kill them. The earlier mishaps involving Xie Xie and Ye Xinglan were, of course, his doing.

If he didn't do this, he wouldn't have a legitimate reason to teach Tang Wulin and the others a lesson.

Moreover, his previous deductions were reasonable and well-founded. The guard team had been attacked first, and he himself had almost been killed by the other party. Judging from their judgment that they were evil spirit masters, giving them a lesson was already too lenient.

As for me, I love using grand principles to crush the opponent. Even if Tang Wulin and the others clarify things afterward, the charge of attacking a stranger's Soul Master without cause is unavoidable. Of course, given that they are Shrek Academy students, this matter will probably just fade away in the end.

Just then, a sense of threat suddenly arose. Without warning, a ball of light appeared in his field of vision. The ball was dazzling, displaying five colors: blue, red, ochre, cyan, and gold. The five-colored halo flowed, and the ball, only the size of a fist, was about to reach him.

This was Gu Yue's doing. Since the opponent was a Soul King with a super Soul Ring configuration, they could not be underestimated. This small ball, which combined the five elements of water, fire, earth, wind, and light, was her trump card.

The light element was something she deliberately added; since the opponent's martial soul was related to darkness, using the light element was definitely the right thing to do.

Tang Wulin had already steadied himself, circulating his Xuan Tian Gong to alleviate the pain in his abdomen. His body was incredibly strong; Cai Xukun's punch only caused him some pain, not serious injury.

A violent roar followed, and for a moment, the air was filled with a blazing elemental storm.

"Did it succeed?" Tang Wulin stared intently ahead. Suddenly, a black blur caught his eye. What was that?
