Douluo Continent: On Becoming a God Through Science

Chapter 63 You Chen VS Bai Hu!

"Is it possible that it's not that I'm too strong, but that you're too weak?"

You Chen truthfully expressed his thoughts.

To be honest, he was briefly excited after hearing the information revealed by Bai Hu.

If someone's level is exactly 10 levels higher than yours and they can become a Soul Emperor, their Martial Soul quality won't be too bad either, and it will still be the same Agility-Attack type.

Perhaps it will give him a long-lost feeling of meeting a worthy opponent?

However... the reality was a huge disappointment.

With You Chen's insight and level of understanding, this brief exchange was enough to gather sufficient information.

"According to my rating standards, Honghu would score around 14 or 15 points at best, which is a normal high-level beast spirit that leans towards agility-based attacks."

Such a martial spirit can definitely not be considered useless.

Even though his soul ring configuration is somewhat inferior, based on You Chen's current stats, he is even higher than Bai Hu.

However, the Soul Master who was the master was extremely unqualified.

Perhaps it's due to his advanced age? His vital energy is declining, his control over his soul power is weakening, and most importantly, his fighting spirit is extremely weak.

Why is it that, despite having decent numerical values ​​that are below average, their actual combat strength is at the bottom of the Soul Emperor level?

Once it falls slightly behind, the white swan's fighting spirit declines sharply, and the number of times it makes mistakes in decision-making and reacts too late in battle increases significantly.

Only after revealing his intention to distance himself from others and escape, did You Chen seize the opportunity to press his advantage, striking a vital point and causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.

From scrapes and minor injuries to small but serious wounds...

The white swan was completely outmatched.

"shut up!"

As if its sore spot had been hit, Baihu revealed a vulnerable expression for the first time, roaring furiously.

What You Chen said was an undeniable fact, but it was precisely because even Bai Hu himself acknowledged You Chen's statement that he was so furious.

This is anger born of embarrassment and shame.

A combat-oriented Soul Master, even with a slight decline in fighting ability due to old age, was defeated head-on by a theoretical indoor research scholar!

Especially when he recalled the harsh words he had said to You Chen before the battle... he had truly lost all face.

The white swan's soul power surged, directly withdrawing the soul power that had been maintaining Hu Liena's light cocoon, and at the same time, its sixth soul ring suddenly lit up!

You Chen's brows furrowed; no ten-thousand-year soul skill was something he could not afford to underestimate at present.

Even if Bai Hu's combat strength is weak, if he were to roll an incredible ten-thousand-year soul skill, he might still be caught off guard and suffer a setback.

In the previous battle, Baihu had already demonstrated its first four soul skills. The first soul skill was to enhance the claw attacks of its hands. The second soul skill was a ranged attack that shot out feather blades. The third soul skill was to amplify its strength and speed. The fourth soul skill was the feather cocoon.

Bai Hu's soul skills are very mixed and there is no synergy between them. He is obviously an ordinary soul master and most likely got to where he is today by relying on his talent.

Whoosh!

Just as You Chen was speculating about Bai Hu's sixth soul skill, a sound of airflow exploding rang out.

But the white swan arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye with astonishing speed.

She had previously instinctively wanted to keep her distance out of fear, but now, in order to hide her inner fear, she took the initiative to launch an attack on You Chen.

"Is it an extreme enhancement of speed, emphasizing that speed equals power, and launching a single-target attack?"

Just as Bai Hu's attack was about to hit, You Chen, who was prepared, activated his third soul ring.

Third Soul Skill: Storm Stream!

Originally intended as a group attack soul skill with additional control and binding abilities, You Chen used it as the eye of a storm, treating it as a protective barrier.

The raging airflow successfully affected the release of Baihu's soul skill.

However, the difference in age and soul power level, as well as the difference in strength between single-target and group attack skills, means that no matter how perfectly the timing of Youchen's skill is executed, it is impossible for it to counter Baihu's skill.

However, just as the raging storm slightly weakened Bai Hu's attack power and blurred his vision, You Chen's fourth spirit ring quietly lit up.

Fourth Soul Skill: Starlight Avatar!

The starlight avatar deceived the white swan, causing the white swan to hit the avatar instead of the real thing.

BOOM!

Besides its extremely high controllability, the most distinctive feature of the Starlight Avatar Soul Skill is its self-destruct capability.

At the same moment the white swan pierced the incarnation, it was as if a detonation button had been pressed, and instantly, a violent explosion erupted in the wasteland!

However, before the smoke and dust had dissipated, a silver arc of light suddenly pierced through the smoke and rushed straight towards You Chen!

"Not a single attack, but a double attack!?"

As You Chen realized this, the white swan, its face contorted and its body charred black, unleashed a frenzied roar: "Sixth Soul Skill, Swallow Return!!!"

Using the name "Swallow Return" as a pretext, a double attack doesn't seem particularly strange.

You Chen's exceptional dynamic vision allowed him to notice that the white swan's arms, which resembled blades, were actually the main body of the silver light.

Swallow Return's first attack was more flexible and controllable. In comparison, this second attack was faster. The speed alone gave people the feeling that it was impossible to avoid. However, that was just an illusion caused by the speed that exceeded the reaction ability of ordinary people.

Seeing the white swan charging straight at him, You Chen showed no panic. He slightly arched his back, and his second and fifth spirit rings lit up at the same time!

Second Soul Skill, Amplified Soul Skill, Power of the Gale!

Fifth Soul Skill —

"The Roar of the Wind Dragon!"

The surging energy was gathered in an instant, and the fine air blades spun and compressed in front of Youchen's mouth before being suddenly launched.

This beam-like attack, which resembles a transparent column of air, doesn't seem as powerful as a golden beam like "Excalibur," but its power is definitely not weak!

While its destructive power is in no way inferior to any high-powered soul skill of similar age, its biggest advantage is—speed!

The second stage of the White Swan's Swallow Return was already beyond the speed that ordinary Soul Masters could perceive with their naked eyes. However, You Chen managed to complete the energy accumulation and launch during the White Swan's charge!

boom!!!

The white swan's eyes widened as it desperately tried to slice through the column of air composed of fine wind blades with its hands, which had transformed into silver blades. However, it only advanced a meter or two before being completely engulfed by the "Roar of the Wind Dragon"...

"call--."

You Chen exhaled softly, and a faint wisp of blue smoke rose from his kiss.

The Roar of the Wind Dragon is not only powerful, but also has an instantaneous release speed. However, the trade-off is that it requires a certain "cooldown" time, unlike most soul skills that can be used continuously.

Before You Chen's throat, mouth, and the organs in his martial soul's kiss that store energy can recover, he cannot freely use this soul skill.

"You should already realize you're no match for me, right? Do you really still want to continue fighting me?"
