Douluo Continent: Martial Soul - Dragon Abyss Sword, Peerless Prodigy

Chapter 56 Battle! Victory!

"Then you—" Bibi Dong asked with some concern.

"Does Senior Sister think I'll lose?" Lin Han looked at her, a smile playing on his lips.

Bibi Dong paused for a moment, then shook her head: "No. I believe you."

Lin Han withdrew his gaze and looked towards the arena, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

"This year's Prodigy Tournament is getting more and more interesting."

Tang Hao, Yu Tianqing, and those who have been hiding their strength and have not yet appeared.

Each one deserves his serious attention.

But he also knew that his real opponent was never anyone else, but himself.

As long as his sword is fast enough, accurate enough, and ruthless enough, no one can stand and leave within his sword domain.

"Next match: Ning Rongfeng of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School versus Zhao Tiezhu of the Star Luo Empire!"

The referee's voice rang out.

Ning Rongfeng stood up, dressed in white, with a handsome face and a gentle smile on his lips, and slowly walked onto the arena.

His opponent, Zhao Tiezhu, was a level 40 Soul Master with the Martial Soul "Mysterious Iron Heavy Sword." He was known for his strength, had a burly build, and a full beard, making him appear much larger than Ning Rongfeng.

"The young master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?" Zhao Tiezhu grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth. "I heard that your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School only knows how to provide support, and your combat power is weak. Why don't you just admit defeat to avoid getting hurt and Sect Master Ning coming after me?"

Ning Rongfeng smiled slightly, not annoyed: "Brother Zhao is right, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is indeed known for its support abilities. However—"

He paused, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul appeared, illuminating the entire area with seven-colored light.

"Even support characters can get kills."

As soon as he finished speaking, the three spirit rings beneath his feet lit up simultaneously!

Yellow, purple, purple!

The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda's light surged, transforming into seven beams of different colors, each shooting towards his limbs, chest, and abdomen.

overhead.

This is the Seven Treasures Body Protection, a secret combat technique passed down by the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School!

By applying auxiliary power to oneself, one can temporarily enhance various attributes such as strength, speed, defense, and soul power recovery, allowing an auxiliary soul master to possess combat power comparable to a battle soul master for a short period of time.

Zhao Tiezhu was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "With your puny build, you think you can fight me? Watch me knock you off the stage with one sword!"

He brandished the Xuan Tie Heavy Sword, the first yellow soul ring lit up, and the heavy sword, wrapped in violent soul power, slammed fiercely towards Ning Rongfeng.

Ning Rongfeng dodged to the side with such speed that Zhao Tiezhu missed his target.

"You are very strong, but too slow."

Ning Rongfeng's voice came from behind Zhao Tiezhu, and he slapped Zhao Tiezhu on the back with a palm, a flash of seven-colored light in his palm.

Zhao Tiezhu felt a sudden, unexpected force coming from behind him, and he stumbled forward a few steps uncontrollably, almost falling.

He steadied himself, turned to look at Ning Rongfeng, his eyes filled with disbelief.

This seemingly frail boy is incredibly fast and has amazing reflexes!

"Again!"

Zhao Tiezhu roared, and the second purple soul ring lit up. The light on the Xuan Tie Heavy Sword surged, and he swept the sword horizontally with great force, as if he wanted to split the arena in two.

Ning Rongfeng lightly stepped forward, his figure leaping up like a swallow, easily dodging the sweeping attack. At the same time, he struck the spine of the heavy sword with his palm, dissipating most of the force.

Zhao Tiezhu felt a jolt in his arm, and the heavy sword almost slipped from his hand. He was greatly alarmed.

Although he had the advantage in strength, his speed and agility were far inferior to Ning Rongfeng's, so he couldn't hit his opponent at all.

Although Ning Rongfeng's attack power was not strong, he was able to continuously deplete Zhao Tiezhu's physical strength and soul power with the help of the Seven Treasures Protection.

As one side gained an advantage and the other lost an advantage, Zhao Tiezhu gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.

Finally, when Ning Rongfeng knocked the heavy sword out of his hand with a palm strike and pressed a finger against his throat, Zhao Tiezhu admitted defeat.

"Ning Rongfeng wins!"

The referee's voice rang out, tinged with surprise.

The audience erupted in applause.

"Support classes can be this strong?"

"Ning Rongfeng's fighting techniques are unprecedented!"

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is indeed very secretive."

Ning Rongfeng withdrew his martial spirit and bowed slightly to Zhao Tiezhu, saying, "Brother Zhao, you flatter me."

Zhao Tiezhu picked up the heavy sword, looked at Ning Rongfeng with a complicated expression, and finally sighed: "I'm impressed. Your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is indeed capable."

He turned and walked off the stage, his back view showing a hint of loneliness, but more so a sense of relief.

Losing to a support-type character should have been a disgrace. But Ning Rongfeng's strength made him accept his defeat wholeheartedly.

Lin Han watched Ning Rongfeng's retreating figure, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes.

This is the true foundation of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Not only does it possess top-tier support abilities, but it also has exquisite techniques for using support power in combat.

Such an opponent deserves respect.

When Ning Rongfeng stepped down from the arena, the disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School erupted in thunderous cheers.

"Young Master Rongfeng is mighty!"

"Support-type characters can defeat battle spirit masters? That's amazing!"

"This is the true strength of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!"

Ning Rongfeng smiled and nodded slightly to the cheering crowd, his eyes searching for something within them. When he saw Lin Han looking in their direction, their gazes met in mid-air. Ning Rongfeng nodded slightly in greeting, and Lin Han nodded in return.

Bibi Dong leaned close to Lin Han's ear and whispered, "This Ning Rongfeng is not simple."

"Hmm." Lin Han nodded. "The biggest weakness of support-type Soul Masters is their insufficient combat power, but his Seven Treasures Body Protection Technique perfectly makes up for this deficiency. Although his attack power is not strong, his speed and agility far exceed those of the same level. Combined with the amplification of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, he can wear down his opponent."

"Who do you think is stronger, him or you?" Bibi Dong blinked, her tone tinged with curiosity.

Lin Han glanced at her and said calmly, "What do you think, Senior Sister?"

Bibi Dong pursed her lips: "Never mind, forget I asked."

She knew Lin Han too well. This junior brother appeared humble on the surface, but deep down he was more arrogant than anyone else. Getting him to admit that someone else was better than him was harder than climbing to heaven.

Moreover, although Ning Rongfeng is powerful, the gap between him and Lin Han is indeed significant.

The first round of matches continues.

In the following matches, although there were no stunning performances like those of Lin Han, Tang Hao, Yu Tianqing, and Ning Rongfeng, each match still had its own highlights.

A prodigy from the Star Luo Empire's royal family, whose martial soul is "Shadow Leopard," is known for its speed and stealth. He defeated his opponent within three moves, winning thunderous applause.

A Soul Master from the Heaven Dou Empire's military, whose Martial Soul is the "Breaking Army Crossbow," is known for its long-range precision strikes. Three volleys of fire shatter the opponent's defenses cleanly and efficiently.

There was also a young man who came from a rogue cultivation background. His martial spirit was "Swift Wind Sword". Although he had no sect background, he defeated two sect disciples in a row with his fast sword skills and became the biggest dark horse of this year's Heavenly Pride Tournament.

Lin Han noticed the boy wielding the sword.

His name was Feng Wuhen, about sixteen years old, a level thirty-seven Soul Master, his Martial Soul was the Gale Sword, and his three-ring configuration was two yellow and one purple, not particularly outstanding. However, his sword speed was extremely fast, and his swordsmanship was agile and graceful, following a light and nimble approach, similar in style to Lin Han's "fast, accurate, and ruthless" swordsmanship.
