Douluo: The Gate to Heaven

Chapter 63 Invincible Golden Bell

Faced with the raging bear's attack, Tuoba Wukong, with nowhere left to retreat, decided not to back down any further. He clenched his left fist, his blood and soul power surging beneath his golden skin, and threw a full-force punch at the bear's claws.

boom!

The air surged, but the bear's claws failed to completely tear through Tuoba Wukong's golden skin defenses; only a few shallow bloodstains appeared on his golden skin.

As Tuoba Wukong's strength increases, his Golden Muscle Defense will only become stronger. After absorbing the ten-thousand-year Soul Ring, the Golden Muscle Defense was once again enhanced.

Tuoba Wukong's body retreated repeatedly, each step leaving a deep footprint on the ground. At the same time, the burly bear's body also leaned back uncontrollably, taking seven or eight steps.

In the clash of power, even the furious attack of the powerful bear, known for its strength, could not gain the slightest advantage over Tuoba Wukong, who had merged his two bodies into one. The two were evenly matched.

This is the terrifying aspect of the original martial soul. The martial soul is oneself, and oneself is the martial soul. Moreover, Tuoba Wukong has two martial souls.

This physique, having absorbed two millennia-old and one ten-thousand-year-old soul rings, is already beyond human capabilities.

This scene, witnessed by Shen Bing, was nothing short of awe at Tuoba Wukong's second soul skill.

As expected of the second thousand-year soul ring, it has actually been able to elevate this boy's physical abilities to such a terrifying degree.

He knocked out the Xuanjia Crocodile, known for its defense, with just a flurry of punches. His physical strength was also comparable to that of a thousand-year-old berserk bear. It's unknown what kind of soul beast his second soul ring came from.

Shen Bing was unaware that Tuoba Wukong's immense power stemmed from his twin martial souls, originating from his original martial soul.

On the other side, a rare hint of doubt appeared in Du Ruoshui's eyes, who had been watching the battle the whole time.

Compared to Shen Bing, Du Ruoshui knew more about Tuoba Wukong, knowing that Tuoba Wukong's physical qualities were already capable of withstanding a spirit ring of about five thousand years. However, the improvement that this second spirit ring brought to Tuoba Wukong's physical qualities seemed a bit too outrageous.

Moreover—is this really a soul skill from the Gate to Heaven?

Du Ruoshui had deep doubts.

Tuoba Wukong's martial soul, Tongtianmen, is a space-type martial soul, but the abilities that Tuoba Wukong is currently displaying do not seem to have much to do with the space type.

However, this spirit ring is indeed the spirit ring of Tongtian Gate. If it is a twin spirit, then what is Tuoba Wukong's second spirit? Even if it is a main spirit, it is impossible to use two spirits at the same time, right?

At least, Tuoba Wukong's current improvement cannot be explained by a single five-thousand-year soul ring. Unless Tuoba Wukong also obtained a soul bone at the same time as absorbing the thousand-year soul ring, and this golden skin is a soul bone skill, then it would make sense. Moreover, this soul bone must be a torso soul bone. Apart from torso soul bones, ordinary soul bones could not bring such a huge improvement to Tuoba Wukong.

Does this kid really have such good luck?

The more Du Ruoshui learned about Tuoba Wukong, the more he seemed like a mystery, which aroused her even more curiosity.

The students in Class 1 and Class 2 below the stage were also dumbfounded.

It's raging, absolutely raging.

"Is this guy really this fierce? I've never seen him this fierce before. Is he on drugs?" Cao Jinxuan muttered to himself.

He had heard of and paid some attention to Tuoba Wukong, the class monitor of Class Two, who possessed the same spacetime-based martial soul as himself, and because of his relationship with Zhou Sichen. However, Tuoba Wukong's performance still left him speechless.

This isn't a thousand-year-old soul beast, it's just an ordinary little pet!?

"Perverted, absolutely perverted. With this guy already taking the lead, Yuhao, it's going to be really hard for you to make a name for yourself." In Huo Yuhao's mind, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm couldn't help but click its tongue in amazement.

"Brother Tianmeng, Tuoba Wukong shouldn't be level 30, right? How can he be so strong? With my current strength, can I do the same thing as him?" At this moment, Huo Yuhao was also a little unsure of himself.

He possessed two great martial souls, the Spirit Eye and the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, and his soul power had also reached level twenty-seven. Theoretically, he should be no worse than any of his peers, but Tuoba Wukong's performance still made him start to doubt himself.

Is he just too useless? He's hopeless, even the two powerful intelligence rings, Ice Emperor and Tianmeng, can't help him.

Ice Emperor, being a woman, was perceptive and noticed the difference in Huo Yuhao's condition. She said, "Yuhao, you don't need to underestimate yourself. Relying on my and that giant insect's spirit and spirit rings, even if you can't do as well as him, you won't be far off. Besides, the skills that giant insect gave you are only supportive. As a spirit master who mainly cultivates control, you shouldn't try to compete with him in brute force. If you were cultivating the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion spirit, your current strength wouldn't be inferior to his. Moreover, my and the giant insect's spirit rings will gradually be released as your strength increases. In the long run, he and you are not even in the same league. Cultivation is never just about competing in the present."

Right? I can't fully utilize the advantages of Tianmeng and Bingdi's spirit rings because my physical abilities aren't good enough, not because of them. As long as I work harder, I will definitely surpass Tuoba Wukong in the future.

Huo Yuhao clenched his fist, instantly regaining his confidence and fighting spirit.

I should work even harder to cultivate myself.

"Bing'er, you really have a knack for this!" Tianmeng also realized Huo Yuhao's strange behavior at this moment. Huo Yuhao regained his fighting spirit, and Tianmeng couldn't help but secretly give Bingdi a thumbs up.

Ice Emperor ignored Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and continued, "This person's body is very strange. His second spirit ring not only doesn't match his martial soul, but its age should also be no less than five thousand years. Theoretically, it's impossible for a human to directly absorb a spirit ring that's over five thousand years old in their second spirit ring. Even now, the power of your two spirit rings is only around four thousand years. That's with my and Big Bug's assistance. If you were to absorb a spirit ring on your own, you could only absorb one that's around three thousand years old at most."

"I've heard that Tuoba Wukong is born with superhuman strength," Huo Yuhao said after thinking for a moment.

"Born with superhuman strength? Perhaps this person possesses some extraordinary hidden soul beast bloodline. But that doesn't make sense. I've studied your human martial souls. A soul master's bloodline and martial soul are closely related. If someone has a hidden powerful bloodline, their martial soul will awaken related traits. Among space-type soul beasts, the Bronze Dragon's bloodline is the strongest, but I've never said that the Bronze Dragon has a bloodline that enhances physique and strength—" Ice Emperor shook her head, her heart filled with doubt. Although she had lived for hundreds of thousands of years, she couldn't claim to understand human soul masters—

In the Colosseum.

The battle is still ongoing.

After forcing the bear back with a single punch, Tuoba Wukong's situation did not improve. The white-striped wolf that had been swept away earlier pressed forward again, spitting out blades of frost carrying a chilling aura.

Tuoba Wukong used the body of the Xuanjia crocodile to defend himself. After a sound of ice shattering, the scales on the back of the Xuanjia crocodile were also mangled and bloody. Shen Bing felt a pang of heartache at the sight. This kid really didn't treat the Xuanjia crocodile like a human being. Even if the Xuanjia crocodile survived this time, it would not be able to recover in a short time without a large amount of spiritual medicine and resources.

However, since the Xuanjia Crocodile was still alive, he couldn't suggest that the Xuanjia Crocodile should be eliminated first.

In that kid's hands, the Xuanjia Crocodile had become a handy weapon that combined offense and defense. Sending the Xuanjia Crocodile off the field wouldn't be something that kid would be happy about, and it would affect the fairness of the assessment to some extent.

So we can only wait until later to give the Xuanjia Crocodile more nourishment.

After the White-Striped Wolf's attack was blocked, the Black-Armored Crocodile followed suit. Realizing the impenetrable defense of the Gate to Heaven, the Black-Armored Crocodile wisely chose not to engage in a direct confrontation with the Gate to Heaven, but instead took advantage of Tuoba Wukong's distraction to deal with the White-Striped Wolf.

When the wolf was too busy to care about it, it suddenly leaped over the defenses of the Tongtian Gate, curled up into a ball, and slammed down on Tuoba Wukong's head.

"Roar!" Just as Tuoba Wukong was about to dodge the attack of the Xuanjia Crocodile, the Thousand-Year-Old Violent Bear opened its blood-red maw and let out a loud roar. The deafening sound wave made Tuoba Wukong's body stiffen for a moment, and the Xuanjia Crocodile's attack came down directly on his head.

This is the difficulty of challenging five thousand-year-old soul beasts at once. Soul beasts are not fools, nor are they isolated individuals; they also know how to cooperate. If Tuoba Wukong hadn't dealt with a Xuanjia crocodile in one fell swoop, his situation would have been even more difficult.

Just as Shen Bing was about to make her move, a melodious bell rang out.

A golden bell appeared, protecting Tuoba Wukong's body.

The golden bell, seemingly solid, stood suspended in mid-air, spinning rapidly. Covered in rust, it looked exactly like a real bell. The body of the Xuanjia crocodile struck the golden bell, producing a melodious sound, but its heavy body was directly thrown away.

Golden bell protects you!

Tuoba Wukong's second martial soul's first soul skill finally revealed its brilliance to the world.

The second purple soul ring on Tuoba Wukong's body, which was hiding under the golden bell, finally unleashed its deep purple light.

The moment Du Ruoshui saw the purple spirit ring light up, a glint flashed in her eyes. Sure enough, this was his true second spirit skill. Then what was that golden skin? A skill from a spirit bone?

Du Ruoshui was puzzled, but Tuoba Wukong had already clenched his fist and punched the golden bell.

Tuoba Wukong's strength is beyond question. A single punch from him at full power is enough to kill some hundred-year-old soul beasts. When he punched the golden bell, the bell trembled visibly, and then a melodious chime rang out.

Everyone present felt a ringing in their ears, and the four thousand-year-old soul beasts closest to Tuoba Wukong were the first to be affected. Their brains went blank, blood flowed from their ears, and their eardrums were damaged.

Tuoba Wukong had already grabbed the edge of the golden bell, leaned forward, and smashed it down on the head of the last remaining Xuanjia crocodile. The sound of the golden bell trembling came again, this time directly in the ear of the Xuanjia crocodile.

Although the sound was not as loud as Tuoba Wukong's full-force shaking of the Golden Bell, the distance was too close, directly causing the Xuanjia Crocodile to bleed from its seven orifices.
