Douluo Continent: This Soul Master is Too Bizarre and Unpredictable

"A year has passed, and perhaps your strength has improved a lot, but what I want to say is that the rules of the Soul Master Competition have severely limited the performance of Bing'er and me."

Glancing at Hu Liena's darkened face, Mu Yang slowly stated the facts.

At that moment, a burly man carrying Bloody Mary walked into the hall, exuding a strong aura of killing intent and coldness.

The burly man glanced indifferently at Mu Yang and Hu Liena, then walked straight toward the passageway leading to the audience seats.

"A seven-ring Soul Saint? No, an 80-level Quasi-Soul Douluo."

After secretly assessing the opponent's strength, Mu Yang secretly activated the Soul-Seizing Secret Technique, directly controlling the opponent's consciousness.

"Go, sign up for the Killing Arena competition."

Mu Yang gave the order to the burly man.

"Yes, esteemed master."

The burly man immediately bowed respectfully and then walked towards the passage leading to the registration area.

"hiss--"

Upon seeing this, Hu Liena couldn't help but gasp.

Hu Liena had seen Mu Yang's mental technique of controlling other people's consciousness before.

But Hu Liena never expected that this mental technique would actually work on such a master.

Having been in the Killing City for a year, Hu Liena naturally had some understanding of the powerful among the Fallen Ones in the inner city.

Coincidentally, this burly man, nicknamed "Blood Axe," was one of the strongest among the fallen.

Although Blood Axe's soul power level is not among the highest in the Fallen Ones, it is said that his soul power level has reached level 80. However, he is limited by the fact that he cannot hunt souls to advance within the City of Slaughter, which is why he has not become an eight-ring Soul Douluo.

Logically speaking, with a soul power level below the eighth ring and without the all-around boost brought by the eighth soul ring, 'Blood Axe' should not be considered a strong member of the inner city's fallen group.

However, thanks to his high-quality axe-type martial soul and superb axe skills, plus a defensive soul bone skill, "Blood Axe" managed to make up for his shortcomings in soul power level and become one of the strongest among the Fallen in the inner city of the Slaughter City. His strength was in no way inferior to other eight-ring level Fallen, and he was even one of the top.

"His name is Blood Axe, and he's one of the strongest fighters in the inner city. Are you sure Shui Bing'er can defeat him?"

Hu Liena couldn't help but remind her.

Hu Liena admitted that Mu Yang, who could control the "Blood Axe" with his mental magic, was probably stronger than herself after refining the head soul bone given to her by her teacher. However, Hu Liena still had doubts about Shui Bing'er's strength.

Neither Mu Yang nor Shui Bing'er are enemies of the Spirit Hall, and they have known each other before. If possible, in this killing city full of enemies, Hu Liena still hopes to find a teammate.

After all, a hundred consecutive wins in the Hell Slaughter Arena is not the hardest hurdle to obtaining the title of God of Slaughter; one must also overcome the Hell Road mentioned by the teacher.

Even if Hu Liena is very confident, she will still make the most thorough preparations for the unknown Hell Road.

Glancing at her, Mu Yang said, "Unless he has a 100,000-year-old soul bone, he is definitely no match for Bing'er."

A level 80 Quasi-Soul Douluo, apart from a few who are cheated, even if they are proficient in self-created soul skills and possess soul bones of considerable age, their strength is at most at the level of the eighth ring in the outside world.

This level of strength is not enough to pose a serious threat to Shui Bing'er.

"Unless you have a soul bone that's a hundred thousand years old?"

Hu Liena remained silent.

Is Shui Bing'er really that strong?

Even she couldn't say she was absolutely certain she could kill "Blood Axe".

After all, for a spirit-type soul master, whether or not they can defeat their opponent depends entirely on the strength of their opponent's mental power. The City of Slaughter only restricts soul masters from using soul skills, but it does not suppress the soul master's mental power.

However, since it concerns Shui Bing'er's life, Mu Yang wouldn't dare to make empty boasts. Since he did this, it means that Shui Bing'er has the ability to do so.

Five minutes later, Shui Bing'er, having secured her first victory, left the killing field and returned to the lobby.

"Hu Liena?"

Upon seeing Hu Liena in the hall, Shui Bing'er couldn't help but frown slightly, but she didn't pay much attention and walked to Mu Yang's side.

"How is it?"

Mu Yang asked.

"Of the nine people, the other eight were alright, but the last one who arrived was quite strong, and it took a lot of effort."

Shui Bing'er said in a low voice, her expression not looking good.

In the previous matches, she used every means at her disposal, except for the fact that her Ice Phoenix Battle Armor was not exposed.

In Shui Bing'er's opinion, the fact that the Ice Phoenix Battle Armor was almost forced out in the first match shows how difficult it is to win in the Hell Slaughter Arena. There's no guarantee that she won't encounter even stronger opponents in the subsequent ninety-nine matches.

"It's alright. The last person before was at the top level of the Fallen. Even if the others are strong, they won't be too outrageous."

Mu Yang waved his hand and explained.

"That's already top-tier?"

Shui Bing'er was stunned for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief.

If this is the top level of the Fallen Ones in the inner city of the Slaughter City, then a hundred consecutive wins in the Hell Slaughter Arena doesn't seem so difficult! After all, she hasn't even used her trump card, the Ice Phoenix Battle Armor!

"Here, this is what dropped from the opponent."

Shui Bing'er handed Mu Yang a black left arm soul bone that had dropped after killing "Blood Axe" in the killing field.

"A piece from around 20,000 years ago. Bing'er, you keep it. Our mother's talent for cultivation isn't that great, so it's best to save it for her."

After taking a look, confirming that it was a "useless" soul bone, Mu Yang said.

The future mother-in-law, Si Yulan, has only average talent in cultivation and has not yet reached the sixth-ring Soul Emperor level. We'll save it for her. When she's stuck at the level 59 bottleneck, with the energy contained in her 20,000-year-old soul bone, she might be able to break through to level 60 smoothly.

"Alright!"

Shui Bing'er nodded and put away the soul bone.

"Mu Yang, Shui Bing'er, I have a suggestion, would you like to hear it?"

At this moment, Hu Liena asked the two of them.

Before Mu Yang could answer, Shui Bing'er picked up the conversation: "What suggestion? By the way, what are you doing here? Did the Golden Generation all come here for training?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Liena looked speechless.

Do you really think everyone is like you?

If her brother Xie Yue and her friend Yan also came to the City of Slaughter for training, Hu Liena couldn't guarantee that all three of them would survive.

Although if Xie Yue were present, she could use her Martial Soul Fusion Skill as a trump card more often.

However, since neither of them had a very high level of soul power, the power of their Martial Soul Fusion Skill as a trump card was limited, and its upper limit was even lower than her own strength in the spiritual power level.

Moreover, his elder brother Xie Yue is in a better situation. He has created his own soul skill, and in the Killing City where the use of soul skills is restricted, he can be considered a good fighter.

If it were Yan, he would have neither self-created soul skills nor soul bone skills. His means of dealing with enemies would rely entirely on his martial soul, which cannot release soul skills. He would not be much stronger than an ordinary fallen one.

If Yan were to come to the City of Slaughter, it would be less of a training trip and more of a suicide mission.

"Let's join forces!"

Taking a deep breath, Hu Liena extended an invitation.

"Join forces?"

Shui Bing'er raised an eyebrow.

Nodding, Hu Liena said, "That's right, it's about joining forces! My teacher also came to the Killing City for training in the past."

For us, achieving a hundred consecutive wins in the Hell Slaughter Arena is not difficult, but to leave the Slaughter City, we still need to traverse the Hell Road.

According to my teacher, the Hell Road is far more difficult than a hundred-win streak, so I'm inviting you all to challenge it together. (End of Chapter)
