Douluo Continent: Starting with the Fire-Breathing Dragon Martial Soul!

Chapter 98 Each Shows Their Skills

Ye Lingling's gaze fell on the Tree of Life not far away, and she unconsciously stopped in her tracks.

But what frightened her was not the Tree of Life itself, but the dozen or so soul beasts gathered around it.

These soul beasts varied in form and age, but without exception, they all quietly guarded the Tree of Life.

This is true for most healing-type spirit beasts.

They themselves are not strong in combat, but they can always attract other soul beasts to gather around them, forming a small ecosystem centered on them. This also means that they are never short of "guardians" around them.

At this moment, the most formidable aura among the group of soul beasts came from a ghost leopard lying prostrate under a tree.

Although Ye Lengleng's perception was not precise, she could roughly judge that this ghost leopard's cultivation level was probably five or six thousand years.

Under normal circumstances, only a Soul King-level expert could reliably capture a Soul Beast of this caliber.

On their side, there were two Soul Masters and one Quasi-Soul Master who had just broken through to level 30 and had not yet obtained a Soul Ring. In Ye Lengleng's view, they had no chance of winning if they faced each other head-on.

She subconsciously looked at Lin Mo, only to see that he didn't seem nervous at all, but his bright eyes were shining slightly.

"What, scared?" Lin Mo noticed her gaze, turned his head and asked, his tone slightly teasing.

Ye Ling pursed her lips, not denying it.

"That ghost leopard—its cultivation level is too high. We can't handle it."

Dugu Yan frowned as well. Although she was confident in her evolved martial spirit, she was not arrogant enough to challenge a thousand-year-old ghost leopard with such a high cultivation level.

"How about I go and call Grandpa over? He can lure Ghost Leopard away, and we'll deal with the rest."

Lin Mo shook his head. "No need to trouble you, senior."

He turned his gaze to the ghost leopard, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Perfect, I also want to see just how strong Charmeleon really is now."

He paused, then said, "Give that ghost leopard to the fire dinosaur. Sister Yan Yan, Sister Leng Leng, the three of us will be responsible for holding off any other soul beasts that try to get close."

He looked at Ye Lengleng specifically and said, "Sister Lengleng, please pay close attention to the Charizard's condition later. If its condition drops to a certain level, you need to treat it immediately."

Ye Leng Leng was stunned for a moment. Let the Fire Dinosaur deal with the five or six thousand-year-old Ghost Leopard alone?

This seemed too risky to her.

But looking at Lin Mo's calm yet determined eyes, she hesitated for a moment before nodding.

"Okay, I'll keep an eye on it."

Seeing that she agreed, Lin Mo said no more.

With a thought, a red light flashed, and the Charizard appeared beside him.

It also sensed the powerful aura coming from not far away. Instead of being afraid, it let out a low growl and its tail wagged excitedly.

"Let's go." Lin Mo said in a low voice.

The third spirit ring under the Charmeleon's foot lit up instantly, and a scorching aura suddenly spread out from it.

The sky seemed to darken for a moment, then was replaced by even brighter light. Fire Dinosaur's third soul skill, Sunny Day, activated!

The surrounding temperature suddenly rose, and the fire element became unusually active.

The Charmeleon's aura surged, its already formidable presence now imbued with an even more intense sense of oppression.

However, as the sunny weather continued, Ye Lengleng keenly noticed that the Charizard's own stamina was also slowly decreasing.

She immediately understood the meaning behind Lin Mo's instructions. The pink and white Nine-Heart Begonia appeared in her palm, its gentle healing light ready to be unleashed.

Just as Charmeleon's stamina was dropping to its critical point, it let out a powerful roar, its momentum surging once more—a fierce fire was triggered!

Ye Lengleng, who was already prepared, acted in time, and the gentle life energy of the Nine-Heart Begonia landed on the Fire Dinosaur.

Start replenishing its depleted energy and maintain its condition at an extremely high level.

The commotion here naturally alerted the group of guardian soul beasts.

The lead leopard's eerie green pupils contracted instantly, and its limbs exerted force, transforming its body into a black lightning bolt as it pounced on Charizard. Facing the incredibly fast leopard, Charizard showed no weakness.

Its body instantly erupted in blazing flames, like a meteor enveloped in fire, and it launched a fierce Flame Charge, crashing head-on into the attack without dodging or avoiding it!

boom!

Two figures, one in red and one in black, collided violently, producing a dull, loud bang.

To the surprise of Ye Lengleng and Dugu Yan, it was the ghost leopard with a cultivation level of five or six thousand years that was forced back after the head-on collision!

A hint of human-like horror flashed in the ghost leopard's eerie green pupils.

It clearly hadn't expected that this strange dragon beast, whose aura was significantly weaker than its own, would possess such formidable power!

Charizard pressed its advantage, and its second spirit ring lit up immediately, Dragon Dance!

Its body became more agile, its speed and strength increased, and with a low growl, it charged towards the ghost leopard.

It actually started to overpower the ghost leopard!

What made Dugu Bo, who was secretly observing, even more nervous was that three other wolf-shaped soul beasts, each about two or three thousand years old, joined the battle when they saw the Ghost Leopard being suppressed, attempting to besiege the Fire Dinosaur.

But the Fire Dinosaur was not afraid at all. In the territory of the bright sunshine, the power of its fire attribute attack increased dramatically, and the burning effect of the sun's fire made those soul beasts suffer even more.

In its Dragon Dance form, it is incredibly agile and can still maintain the upper hand even when fighting four opponents at once!

At the same time, Lin Mo and Dugu Yan also made their move.

The other soul beasts, whose attention had not been drawn to the fire dinosaur, rushed towards them fiercely upon smelling the presence of living beings.

Leading the pack was a thousand-year-old tiger-leopard cat with incredible speed.

Lin Mo took a deep breath, a red light flashed in his eyes, and he began to mobilize the power of his internal blood and qi. A faint red light appeared on the surface of his skin. First-level Blood Explosion - Boiling Blood, activated!

His power surged instantly.

Lin Mo clenched his right fist and unleashed a punch at the onrushing tiger-leopard cat!

"Bang!"

The thousand-year-old tiger-leopard cat's forward lunge came to an abrupt halt, letting out a mournful howl.

It was sent flying backward by the punch, its body crashing heavily into a large tree. When it slid down, blood was flowing from its mouth and nose, and it looked like it was barely breathing.

Lin Mo continued moving, and his rich blood energy rapidly condensed in his palm, instantly transforming into several slender blood spears.

-

He swung his arms repeatedly, throwing the blood spear, which accurately hit several other thousand-year-old soul beasts that were trying to approach.

These blood spears share the same origin as the blood needles used to heal and save lives, but now they are filled with a fierce and murderous aura.

Even more bizarrely, the Blood Spear simultaneously unleashed two completely different auras—extreme cold and extreme heat—the moment it hit its target!

"Awooo—!"

Without exception, all the soul beasts pierced by the blood spear let out an extremely painful howl in an instant.

Their wounds were half covered in frost and half charred and smoking.

The two extreme energies of ice and fire clashed violently within them, instantly causing them to lose most of their fighting ability. They rolled and convulsed on the ground, no longer posing a threat.

This is precisely the ability Lin Mo gained after consuming the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Blossom, completing the Ice and Fire Alchemy—his blood energy attacks can be infused with ice and fire poison at will!

On the other side, Dugu Yan also demonstrated the power of the Azure Phosphorous Dragon Martial Soul.

Faced with a roaring, charging thousand-year-old wild boar spirit beast, she did not choose to confront it head-on.

Her third spirit ring lit up, and deep purple mist spewed from her mouth, quickly spreading out and enveloping the wild boar spirit beast.

Phosphorus Purple Poison!

The wild boar spirit beast rushed into the poisonous fog, initially with great momentum, but soon its speed slowed down, it let out painful groans, and ulcerated purple spots began to appear on its skin.

In just over ten breaths, it collapsed to the ground with a thud. Its massive body, corroded by the purple poison, turned into a pool of foul-smelling pus at a visible speed.

In the shadows, Dugu Bo, who had been sensing the battle situation here, couldn't help but open his mouth, his face full of astonishment.

He was still shocked that Charmeleon could suppress Ghost Leopard, even though he had expected it.

Lin Mo's performance, however, completely exceeded his expectations.

He had seen that blood energy before; it was used to save people. How come in Lin Mo's hands, it could be used as wings to fly, condensed into a gun for long-range attacks, and also come with such domineering ice and fire poison?

Just how many tricks is this kid hiding?

He was also impressed by Dugu Yan.

The Azure Phosphorus Dragon Martial Soul not only retains the Azure Phosphorus Serpent's powerful poison control ability, but its melee combat ability has also been greatly enhanced.

Just now, when faced with the charge of the thousand-year-old wild boar, she was able to block it with her dragon-transformed arms, creating an opportunity to unleash the Azure Phosphorus Poison.

Killing a thousand-year-old soul beast in a one-on-one battle is quite an impressive feat for a Soul Master who has only recently advanced to the next level.

Nowadays, Dugu Yan is not only a control-type Soul Master who controls the field with poison, but also a power-attack-type Soul Master, holding two roles.
