Douluo Continent: My True Form Descends, My Physical Body Achieves Sainthood

"Etherealization!"

Lu Chen's eyes lit up.

He remembered that someone had used this soul skill in the second Soul Master Competition in the original story.

"While the intangible form may seem invincible, its weaknesses are quite obvious."

Lu Chen pondered for a moment and said, "If I remember correctly, once a Soul Master becomes ethereal, they cannot fight back and can only exist in a state of pure nothingness."

Bei Yuxuan's expression was serious. "That's usually true, but she's different."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Lu Chen asked in surprise.

"The Phantom's martial soul is a mutated Shadow Cat, which has a very high compatibility with the Void. After the two merged, a mutation occurred."

She can narrow the blurring area to a specific part, achieving 'partial blurring'!

Bei Yuxuan explained, "Yesterday, my men were tricked into missing their attack by her using her head to become ethereal, and then she killed them with her soul-guided dagger."

"You can do that?"

Lu Chen was taken aback. "No wonder she chose the offensive path even though she has the Shadow Cat martial soul."

"Then she's invincible?" Tang Ya couldn't hide her shock. "Others can't hit her, but she can attack them!"

Lu Chen shook his head: "It's not that exaggerated."

Soul skills require soul power to perform, and this near-invincible etherealization consumes an enormous amount of soul power.

As a level 19 Soul Master, she would run out of Soul Power after using it only a few times at most.

Upon hearing this, Tang Ya finally breathed a sigh of relief:

"That's alright."

As they were talking, a figure dressed in black stepped onto the arena.

Her opponent is a Soul Master who possesses the Mighty Vajra Bear Martial Soul.

The two had clearly assessed each other's strength, and without even exchanging trash talk, they tacitly released their martial souls.

Two spirit rings, one white and one yellow, lit up beneath the feet of the two individuals.

Seeing the yellow spirit ring at the Phantom's feet, Buck's expression grew even more solemn.

"The match begins!"

As soon as the referee finished speaking, Phantom darted out like a black cat.

Despite being an offensive type, her speed is by no means slow.

"Perfect timing!"

Buck roared, and the white spirit ring beneath his feet flashed suddenly. "First Spirit Skill: Bloodlust!"

The next instant, a powerful burst of crimson steam erupted from his body.

Buck's size increased again, and his eyes turned blood red.

It transformed into a ferocious, raging bear and pounced on the phantom.

The distance between the two instantly closed.

"Go to hell!"

Buck roared and slammed his bear-like claws down on Phantom's head, trying to smash her to pieces.

Seeing this, the phantom did not dodge in the slightest.

The first spirit ring beneath his feet flickered.

Her head twisted slightly, and Buck's claws pierced right through her cheek!

At the same time, the phantom's figure was already close to Buck's chest.

A silver dagger suddenly appeared in his previously empty right hand.

Level 3 melee soul tool!

The next instant, the dagger flashed with a cold light.

The Phantom gripped the object tightly and stabbed it towards Buck's neck with lightning speed.

"Pfft!"

A spurt of blood suddenly appeared.

"Dead...dead?!"

"No way? It was over in just one exchange?"

Just when the audience thought Buck was dead, a large hand was seen blocking his neck.

The dagger pierced Buck's left hand, the tip just a hair's breadth from his neck, but he gripped it tightly, unable to move.

"I've already figured out your fighting style!"

Buck's expression was ferocious, his eyes fixed on Phantom with a bloodthirsty gaze.

Before he finished speaking, he threw a powerful right hook at her head.

At the same time, he slammed his knee into her right arm, "You bitch, let's see how you blur now!"

"This Buck actually chose to exchange damage to lure in order to break the limitations of intangibility!" Tang Ya exclaimed in surprise.

Bei Yuxuan gripped his folding fan tightly, gritting his teeth as he said, "It would be best if we could cripple one of her arms!"

Lu Chen narrowed his eyes slightly: "Buck is thinking too simply."

It should be said that Phantom's previous fighting style deceived everyone, making them forget the true effect of intangibility.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Buck's expression suddenly changed drastically.

"How is that possible?!"

He discovered that his knees and fists had all missed.

The Phantom had vanished into nothingness.

"You deserve to die."

The Phantom remained calm, and taking advantage of Buck's momentary loss of balance due to inertia, a flash of cold light suddenly slashed across his neck.

Blood spurted out, Buck's eyes widened, and he clutched his neck tightly with both hands.

After whimpering a few times, he collapsed and died.

The entire battle was clean and efficient!

"The ninth battle, the victor—Phantom!"

As the referee announced the result, the entire stadium erupted in celebration once again.

Many Soul Masters also had gloomy expressions.

The Phantom's abilities are simply too troublesome.

Inside Lu Chen's private room, Bei Yuxuan let out a long sigh:

"What a pity."

Tang Ya looked at Lu Chen with concern: "Her ability is too abnormal, how are you going to control it?"

Bei Yuxuan was also somewhat conflicted.

Lu Chen is, after all, a disciple of the Body Sect, and perhaps even a core member.

If something goes wrong, he'll definitely be in deep trouble.

But if we give up now, that 70,000-year-old soul bone will fall into Luo Du's hands.

"As I said, this kind of domineering soul skill consumes a lot of soul power."

Lu Chen remained calm and gestured for the two to look towards the arena.

At this moment, Phantom's breathing became slightly rapid, and her steps were also much faster than before.

Clearly, a significant amount of soul power was consumed.

Currently, there are no restorative soul tools like baby bottles in Douluo Three Kingdoms.

No matter how powerful the Phantom's ability to become ethereal is, it's just a decoration without the support of soul power.

"oops!"

Tang Ya suddenly frowned, stomped her foot in frustration, and said, "I completely forgot to place my bet!"

Lu Chen's lips twitched slightly.

The match continued, and soon it was Lu Chen's turn to play.

This time, his opponent was a level 18 control-type Soul Master with the Martial Soul Wolf Fang Spider.

This surprised Lu Chen slightly.

Generally speaking, control-type Soul Masters are weak in one-on-one combat and mostly choose to participate in competitions in teams.

However, the outcome remained unchanged, and Lu Chen won easily.

"Yay! We won again!" Tang Ya exclaimed excitedly, waving her arms and legs.

Although Lu Chen won decisively last time, the odds for this game are still four times.

With the competition rewards, her 20 gold soul coins instantly turned into 90.

"Just one more win and I'll break 100! Making money feels so good!"

……

In the following period, Lu Chen and Phantom continued their winning streak.

Originally there were 50 Soul Masters, but in just two hours, less than ten remained.

Although most of the participants were not engaged in a death match, the death toll had already reached more than a dozen.

The host, Lele, looked at the competition list in her hand, a smile of excitement spreading across her face, and announced loudly:

"The next match is a life-or-death battle! Level 10 Soul Warrior Lu Chen will face off against Level 19 Soul Master Phantom!"

They are the brightest rising stars of the night, achieving astonishing winning streaks of 11 and 18 games respectively!

"The land sinks! The land sinks!"

"Phantom! Phantom!"

Upon hearing the names of these two people, the entire audience erupted in cheers.

Their record is too dazzling.

Not only did they have a long winning streak, but their battles were also decisive and efficient.

Almost none of their opponents lasted more than five rounds.

"It's finally here!"

Bei Yuxuan gripped his folding fan tightly, his eyes fixed on the arena.

Luo Du was the same, his eyes coldly fixed on Lu Chen, a sinister smile curving his lips:

"The real show is about to begin!"

In another private room, Vina, Poison Undying, and the others also focused their attention entirely on the ring.

Amid cheers from the crowd, Lu Chen and Mei Ying walked onto the main arena at the same time.

As soon as the referee announced the start of the match, Phantom instantly channeled his martial spirit.

Holding a dagger, he warily eyed Lu Chen.

"Show me your martial spirit," she said in a deep voice.

Lu Chen assumed the starting stance of the Flowing Water Fist technique and responded calmly:

"There's no need."

Upon hearing this, Phantom's expression turned cold: "Then die!"

Before she finished speaking, her figure shot towards Lu Chen like an arrow released from a bow.
