Douluo Continent: Reincarnated as the Rock King Emperor, Wandering the Mortal World

Chapter 98: Ancient Soul Guidance Device?

"This sword has no name; it was a gift from my master..."

A hint of arrogance flashed across Chi Yu's face, her beautiful eyes filled with sweet memories.

Regardless of its power, this sword was a gift from Zhongli to her.

It doesn't matter what the object is, it mainly depends on the person.

Chi Yu gripped the sword hilt with one hand. After she obtained the sword, Zhong Li had instructed her on how to use it because she didn't know how.

Those were such happy times.

Holding this sword, she felt extremely safe, as if Zhongli were by her side. That feeling... she could only fall asleep with the sword close to her chest.

Since weapons can be used in this battle, there's nothing wrong with using the weapons Zhongli gave her, right?

Tang San felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

He asked if he could use weapons, and after receiving the answer, the other party actually took out weapons first.

The sword shimmered with an amber light, as dazzling as the sun, and looked anything but simple, leaving Tang San somewhat bewildered.

Shaking his head, Tang San put the matter out of his mind. It was just a sword; no matter how powerful a sword was, it was useless if you didn't know how to use it.

Thinking of this, Tang San warned, "Be careful!"

This is not only a reminder, but also a sign that the competition has officially begun.

"First Soul Skill: Blue Silver Entanglement!"

Without any hesitation, Tang San immediately released his first soul skill, intending to test his opponent.

The blue silver grass transformed into vines, sweeping towards the jade mat.

Seeing this, Chi Yu did not panic. If she hadn't taken out this sword, she would have used her agility to dodge the attack.

Of course, she is not afraid of the so-called blue silver entanglement. Dodging attacks is a required course for agility-type soul masters.

Agility-based Soul Masters also vary in their abilities...

A mutated martial soul like the Jade Chi is so powerful that no other soul master of the same level can compare.

Even a powerful offensive Soul Master is no match for her in terms of strength.

Chi Yu held her sword in one hand and slashed at the onrushing vines. In an instant, golden light burst forth, and the Blue Silver Grass turned into dust, scattering across the arena.

Tang San: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Tang San felt his scalp tingle and his eyelids twitching wildly.

This must have just been a casual sword strike, right?

This surging sword energy, this power...

Is she... no, it should be this sword, that terrifying?

Tang San had no idea that this sword could break through the defenses of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast as easily as cutting tofu, let alone his Blue Silver Entanglement!

Chi Yu looked at Tang San with some surprise. "That's it?"

"Isn't it a bit of a waste to use this sword, given to me by my master, against Tang San?"

Chi Yu thought to himself.

She thought Tang San was incredibly powerful, but she never expected him to shatter so easily.

Tang San's hands trembled slightly. After regaining his senses, he put away his Blue Silver Grass martial soul.

He reached for the Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moon at his waist with both hands.

If a martial spirit cannot pose a threat to the ruler jade, then surely a hidden weapon will work?

In an instant, Tang San had a large number of hidden weapons in his hands.

What lancet, what bone-piercing nail, what...

"If he can use hidden weapons, this kid's strength will increase by at least one or two Soul Master titles."

Zhao Wuji crossed his arms and said calmly.

He had personally experienced the power of hidden weapons; even he, a Soul Saint, had fallen victim to them. How laughable was this mere ruler jade!

That sword is indeed powerful, but if it can't hit anyone, it's just all show and no substance.

Upon seeing this, Chi Yu felt a surge of malice, and her grip on the sword tightened involuntarily.

That attack just now wasn't what everyone imagined—that she had infused the sword with powerful soul energy or something.

That's just a characteristic of this sword, namely, its "normal attack effect".

After inputting soul power, it's a completely different matter.

Without any hesitation, Tang San used his two ultimate techniques, Purple Demon Eye and Ghost Shadow Tracking, almost simultaneously.

His figure transformed into a series of phantoms, appearing elusive, and the hidden weapons in his hands also came into play at this moment.

His hands moved like butterflies, constantly launching hidden weapons, all targeting the weakest points on the human body.

Under normal circumstances, as an agility-based Soul Master, Chi Yu would dodge in this situation.

But this is not a normal situation.

The sword in Chi Yu's hand shone brightly, and in an instant, an amber light enveloped her, transforming into a shield.

This shield is very similar to Zhongli's shield, except that it is not as sturdy as the "chains".

"???"

What's going on? How can a sword have a shield-type skill?

Could this sword be the legendary "ancient soul tool"?

Why would an offensive soul tool have defensive skills?

"Soul tools" are not unfamiliar to many powerful soul masters.

Especially Ning Fengzhi and others.

Ning Fengzhi also knew that the national treasure of the Heaven Dou Empire was a defensive soul tool. He had repeatedly asked Emperor Xueye to exchange it, but unfortunately, Emperor Xueye refused each time.

Zhong Li: "..."

When making this sword, Zhongli's first consideration was defense, and only then did he consider offensive power.

No matter how powerful the attack, it's useless if it misses the target.

But defense is different. It allows you to use your abilities, so even if you still can't defeat the opponent, you can at least wait for rescue.

Of course, this sword's attack power is still terrifying.

Countless projectiles struck the shield, creating ripples. The shield seemed poised to shatter at any moment, yet it remained unbroken...

This left Tang San stunned and somewhat bewildered.

Sword, shield?

"No, using only concealed weapon techniques might not be enough to deal with this shield."

Tang San is not stupid; on the contrary, he is quite "smart".

Since throwing weapons are ineffective against shields, he must have other methods.

The veiled attack and the Zhuge Divine Crossbow appeared in his hands almost simultaneously.

While the power of indirect attacks is insufficient to shatter a shield, it can certainly confuse the opponent.

As for the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, it is currently the most powerful mechanical hidden weapon in his possession. As long as the trigger is pulled, it can unleash an attack powerful enough to kill a Soul Master!

This was tested on the way to Tiandou City.

Even a Soul King-level expert could easily fall victim to this if they're not careful.

After all, Soul Masters are physically weak, especially when they are not releasing their Martial Soul.

He was the first to pull the trigger, a weapon laced with veiled sarcasm, swish swish swish...

Just as Tang San had guessed, the shield on Chi Yu's body continued to ripple, but it did not break.

"Then try this!"

Tang San decisively pulled the trigger of the Zhuge Crossbow...

The next moment, Chi Yu's figure disappeared from the spot, and when he reappeared, he was already beside Tang San.

Tang San's pupils contracted. After several rounds of testing with hidden weapons, he almost forgot that Chi Yu was a Soul King of Agility and Attack!

This one is different from Zhao Wuji; she's not a sitting duck!

In the nick of time, Tang San slipped and fell backward, like an iron bridge.

It was extremely dangerous; he narrowly avoided the catgirl's jade...
