Douluo: Legend of the Dragon King - The Voice of the Purple Emperor

Chapter 59 Dragon's Might Shakes the World

Wu Changkong chose the East Sea Academy's main square as the location for the duel. It was during class time, so the square was empty and deserted, and no one would disturb them.

Leaving the college during class time is a strange and superior feeling for students, and all five students in Class Zero felt this to some extent.

Xie Xie looked curiously at Gu You, who was walking beside Wu Changkong. Was this his opponent today?

I don't know why, but I always have a strange feeling when I'm with him.

Xie Xie immediately dismissed the thought and shook his head. Although he didn't know how this newcomer got into Class Zero, it at least showed that he was able to be admitted through an exception, and his talent was strong enough.

He couldn't afford to lose again. To be honest, compared to Tang Wulin and Gu Yue, his advantage of having full innate soul power had faded. After being knocked away by Tang Wulin with a single punch and defeated by Gu Yue with elemental power, he realized what a true genius was like and that soul power couldn't determine everything.

Currently, Xie Xie is the weakest member of Class Zero. He has always wanted to prove himself, but he can't beat freakish beings like Gu Yue and Tang Wulin, nor can he defeat those with martial soul and soul power talents like Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi. He is quite confused right now, but I believe that after this battle with Gu You, he will definitely change everyone's mind and prove himself!

Tang Wulin also looked at Gu You with curiosity. He was currently 1.5 meters tall, while Gu You was nearly 1.7 meters tall, giving him the air of an older brother.

Gu Yue, who was standing next to him, frowned. She couldn't sense any aura from Gu You, and she always felt a sense of hostility between the two of them.

Zhang Yangzi was quite disdainful, after all, this was a later addition, and it was possible that he had relied on his backing to force his way into Class Zero.

Wang Jinxi didn't feel anything about it. He felt that there were too few people in Class 5, and one more person would make it more lively. In addition, he had been in a good mood these past few days. He cultivated with Tang Wulin every day, and not only did his cultivation speed increase, but his martial soul also felt like it was breaking through the soil, which was wonderful.

Donghai College Plaza

Gu You and Xie Xie faced each other, several dozen meters apart.

"Thank you! Move back a few dozen meters," Wu Changkong said coldly.

Xie Xie is an agility-type Soul Master, which gives him a significant advantage at close range. That's why Wu Changkong planned to have him retreat several dozen meters further to ensure that the advantage was lost, in order to further hone Xie Xie's skills.

Gu You admired Wu Changkong even more.

Unleash your Martial Spirit!

Wu Changkong opened his mouth.

Xie Xie sprang to his feet, stretched his body, and became refreshed.

He stepped back, each step covering roughly the same distance, but he was walking backwards, his gaze fixed on Gu You the whole time.

He had felt threatened the moment he saw Gu You, and was now fully focused, giving his best to face this opponent.

Xie Xie and Tang Wulin fought several times. Not only did Tang Wulin benefit greatly from the encounters, but Xie Xie also gained a deeper understanding of the meaning of the saying, "Even a lion must go all out when hunting a rabbit."

A bright, radiant dagger appeared in his hand—the Light Dragon Dagger, one of Xie Xie's martial souls.

Gu You's hands were covered in dragon scales, and his martial spirit was not fully released.

Dragon Claw!

Both Tang Wulin and Wang Jinxi were startled.

Dragon-type martial souls? ...They seem to possess destructive attributes, Wu Changkong murmured. Tang Wulin's golden dragon claws and Wang Jinxi's dark bone dragon king martial souls are getting more and more interesting.

Gu Yue lowered her gaze, and a strange, radiant light appeared around her before quietly disappearing.

"It feels so familiar, but I can't remember anything about it." Gu Yue gently touched her forehead and looked at Gu You, who was possessed by the dragon claw.

What exactly is your identity?

Tang Wulin naturally noticed Gu Yue's unusual behavior. Although he was curious, he didn't say much. He should be able to learn a lot from this battle.

Wu Changkong didn't rush to call for the start, but instead stared at Gu You, "Disregarding your opponent is an irrational act."

Gu You was taken aback, then chuckled, "Teacher, it's not that I don't want to display my full martial spirit, but I'm afraid that if I do, this battle won't be fun anymore."

Wu Changkong fell silent.

"Begin!" Wu Changkong was always so simple and direct. With his clear shout, Xie Xie released his soul rings almost instantly—two yellow ones, top-tier configuration! He also went all out, rushing towards his opponent like a flying arrow.

His explosive power was truly astonishing; his body launched forward like a nimble cheetah, rapidly closing the distance of tens of meters.

Gu You seemed a little slow to react. When he raised his hand, Xie Xie was less than ten meters away from him.

The Light Dragon Dagger shimmered and pulsed with light, but Xie Xie did not immediately unleash his soul skill. As a two-ring soul master, he only had two soul skills, and they consumed a great deal of energy. Good steel should be used on the blade, and it should be unleashed at the optimal moment. Moreover, judging from his opponent's appearance, he was clearly slow to react, and perhaps he didn't even need to use his soul skill.

Everyone watched with bated breath.

Among their peers, Xie Xie was already one of the few formidable individuals they had ever encountered. This newcomer certainly couldn't defeat him, right?

No spirit rings bloomed beneath Gu You's feet. He merely raised his dragon claw slightly, unleashing a deafening dragon roar that shattered Xie Xie's charging attack with terrifying power.

Under the roar of the dragon, everything around seemed to freeze. Tang Wulin trembled as an invisible pressure surged towards him. Gu Yue's face darkened as she looked at Gu You in disbelief. Wang Jinxi, needless to say, had difficulty breathing.

As for Wu Changkong and Zhang Yangzi, although they were somewhat suppressed, it wasn't much.

Xie Xie's martial spirit seemed to be out of control. With a flash of light, it merged into Xie Xie's body, followed by a deep and gentle dragon roar that came out from within him.

"What's going on? My martial spirit is out of control." Xie Xie released his martial spirit again, forcing it to stop disappearing, and charged at Gu You once more.

Wu Changkong was also surprised by this situation, as it was actually a bloodline suppression, a situation he had only seen with Tang Wulin before.

Xie Xie was already right in front of him, and it seemed that it was too late for Gu You to do anything at this moment, unless he was also an agility-type battle spirit master.

But is Gu You the kind of person who can be easily defeated? No.

A purple halo radiated outwards from his body, and Xie Xie was already in front of him in the next instant, slashing out with the Light Dragon Dagger in his hand, heading straight for Gu You's shoulder.

Surrounded by purple light, Xie Xie's Light Dragon Dagger pierced into the light. Suddenly, he felt a force coming from his hand. He struggled to pull it out, and the Light Dragon Dagger flew into the air.

Immediately afterwards, he was horrified to see Gu You appear in front of him in an instant, a huge fist aimed straight at his face.

Xie Xie, as expected of an agility-type battle spirit master, in this critical moment, while still in mid-air, suddenly twisted his waist and began to fly and spin horizontally.
