Douluo Continent: From Seven Treasure Glazed Tile to Crescent Moon's Solemnity

Chapter 110 Battle with Yu Tianheng (Part 1)

Standing in front of the massive core battle arena, Ning Feiliu didn't feel anything particularly special.

Although the Soul Arena in front of us is much larger than the previous Central Soul Arena, with a diameter of a full 100 meters, it allows both sides to fight without restraint.

The most crucial element is the material of the Soul Arena, which is perfectly capable of withstanding battles at the Soul Emperor level.

After all, this place was originally prepared for Soul Emperor-level Soul Battles.

In the Douluo Continent, a Soul Master who reaches the level of Soul Saint or above is qualified to be a guest of honor in a powerful organization.

Just like the character "圣" (shèng), it signifies transcending the mundane and attaining sainthood, no longer bound by worldly concerns.

After all, those who are Soul Masters are already the rulers of first-class forces.

Among the seven major sects of Soul Masters, only the upper three sects have Title Douluo. For example, the Elephant Armor Sect, one of the lower four sects, has a sect leader named Hu Yanzhen who is only a Soul Douluo.

The three members of the teaching committee of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy were only at the level of Soul Douluo.

Therefore, it is conceivable that the dean of the Four Elements Academy is probably only at the level of a Soul Douluo.

The academies below that level might have a Soul Saint Dean at most.

Therefore, Soul Masters with the cultivation level of Soul Saint will basically no longer participate in so-called Soul Battles for money or anything like that.

Soul Masters at the Soul Emperor level are of extremely high status. Joining any force would make them respected teachers or top-tier combatants.

However, in the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena, there are still some Soul Emperor powerhouses who will come to the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena for a life-or-death battle because of personal grudges or something.

At this point, the core battle arena here comes in handy.

And a battle at the Soul Emperor level... do you want to see it?

Therefore, every battle of this level is arranged on this special Great Battle Arena, which was built at great expense.

Now, Ning Feiliu and Yu Tianheng's soul battle is enjoying this special treatment.

However, the reason is not because their battles will be particularly exciting or because they are particularly powerful.

But...

The forces and backgrounds behind them give this battle of souls a special significance.

Putting aside this special significance, their battle of spirits itself is actually not very interesting.

Ning Feiliu knew this, but he didn't care at all.

In fact, Yu Tianheng didn't care about this. His victory or defeat was related to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect and the face of his grandfather, Yu Yuanzhen.

That's giving him far too much credit.

To put it bluntly, even if he suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Yafei in this battle of spirits, his grandfather Thunder Douluo's reputation would not be diminished in the slightest.

Will the prestige of two titled Douluo be affected by the outcome of a battle between two juniors?

That's giving them way too much credit.

However, despite this, Yu Tianheng definitely wanted to win this battle of souls.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed to this battle of souls.

Suddenly, the already bright golden lights in the central arena increased in brightness once more.

Instead of scattering in all directions, all the light converged on the Soul Arena, like a giant spotlight bringing down a golden beam of light from the sky, which enveloped the entire Soul Arena.

Just from this light-type soul tool, you can see how wealthy the Soul Arena is.

In the center of the Soul Battle Arena, a circular area with a diameter of two meters suddenly bulged up from the ground. As it slowly rose, a thick golden pillar could be seen supporting the rising circle, and on that golden pillar stood a man dressed in white.

He had a handsome face and looked to be no more than thirty years old, while also exuding a powerful aura of soul power without any attempt to conceal it.

It's... a Soul Emperor level expert!

The Heavenly Dou Arena was also worried that the two would get into a fight, so they specially arranged for a Soul Emperor to come out and oversee things.

"It's actually... Gargoyle Shi Ao." Many spectators near the Soul Arena recognized this Soul Emperor and began to discuss it.

The gargoyle Shi Ao is one of the gold-medal referees arranged by the Heaven Dou Grand Soul Arena only for extremely important soul battles, and not for life-or-death struggles.

His martial soul, Rock Lord, can petrify and control a soul master in an instant, protecting the losing side.

Moreover, he himself was the captain of a certain academy team who shone brightly in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Tournament more than ten years ago. However, after the tournament ended, he stayed in Heaven Dou City and joined the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena as a so-called gold medal referee.

After all, everyone has their own ambitions, and the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Tournament was originally created for this purpose.

This will give talented young Soul Masters across the continent the opportunity to showcase their abilities and take this opportunity to advance further and complete their class transformation from grassroots Soul Masters.

Shi Ao was such a grassroots Soul Master. After discovering his powerful talent, he worked hard to cultivate and shone brightly in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament, eventually becoming a guest of honor of powerful forces.

In fact, several of the true grassroots soul masters among the Shrek Seven Devils did the same thing. Oscar and Ma Hongjun, after becoming powerful soul masters, either joined the Tang Sect or the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, didn't they?

……

Below the core Soul Battle Arena, Yu Tianheng stared intently at the opposite side of the arena, his mind racing.

He was thinking that the Crescent Moon Divine Weapon Martial Soul combination used by Asia and Africa in the last battle was Firefly and Falling Light, but in the meantime, could they have used up the martial soul in advance and switched to a new Crescent Moon Divine Weapon Martial Soul combination?

If it were Yingyan and Zhuiming, he would directly engage in close combat to inflict damage on Asia and Africa.

However, if it were the upcoming Soul Breaker and Mirror Folder, he might be killed in the very first encounter during close combat.

Therefore, his second soul skill might be the best choice to deal with Soul Severance and Mirror Refraction...

While he was still pondering how to fight.

Suddenly, atop the golden pillar on the high platform, Shi Ao channeled his soul power and picked up a megaphone, announcing, "It is an honor to see you all again, distinguished guests."

He smiled warmly and said, "Next, we will have a highly anticipated individual battle. I hope all of you will enjoy yourselves tonight."

As all the guests know, today's event will be a highlight, and we have only arranged this one Soul Battle tonight. Although both sides are only at the Soul Master level, they have already earned the honor of the Silver Soul Battle Badge.

If I had to give them a title, I think the word "peerless genius" would be very fitting!

Their future will not be limited to Soul Emperor, Soul Saint, or even Soul Douluo, but will be... Title Douluo!

What we are about to witness is a preview of the battle between two future Title Douluos!

Now, I will introduce the two teams to our distinguished guests.

This Shi Ao is not only exceptional in strength and talent, but also in eloquence.

He directly described the battle between Ning Feiliu and Yu Tianheng as a "prelude to the battle of future Title Douluo".

It certainly whetted the audience's appetite.

What could be more exciting than witnessing a battle between Title Douluos?

In this world where the path to godhood is unknown, Title Douluo are the highest fighting force in this world.

This is certainly something that can get people excited and full of anticipation.

And... he really didn't exaggerate.

Yu Tianheng's grandfather was Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen, and he was Yu Yuanzhen's chosen future sect leader of the Blue Lightning Overlord Sect.

"Asia-Africa's" teacher is Poison Douluo Dugu Bo. Dugu Bo has only taken him as a student from outsiders over the years, so his talent is obviously recognized by Dugu Bo as "having the potential to become a Title Douluo".

So, as long as they don't perish along the way, it's a sure thing that the two of them will become Title Douluos in the future.

Seeing that the audience in the Great Soul Arena was in high spirits and quite excited, Shi Ao nodded in satisfaction.

Only in this way can these audience members be more satisfied with the ticket price.

The spirit battles in the future Grand Arena will only make people more excited.

He then continued his introduction, "First of all, I want to introduce... the one who has just achieved an unprecedented 29th consecutive victory in individual Soul Battles, his Martial Soul, the Crescent Moon Divine Weapon! It's the most unique Martial Soul I've ever seen, simply unparalleled!"

"At the same time, his Crescent Moon Divine Weapon Martial Soul truly lives up to the name of a divine weapon! He is... Crescent Moon's Sovereign—Asia! Africa!"

Under Shi Ao's solemn announcement, Ning Feiliu, wearing a mask, slowly stepped onto the Soul Battle Platform.

This time, it seems the Heavenly Dou Grand Arena doesn't think he can win... they introduced him first.

But he probably doesn't care.

Only strength determines victory or defeat. As for what you underestimate or value, it won't affect the outcome in the slightest.

"Africa and Asia! Africa and Asia! Africa and Asia!"

Immediately, the entire audience cheered for Ning Feiliu.

Inside the VIP suite, Shuanglan looked down at Ning Feiliu, whose face was obscured by a mask. A hint of doubt crossed her pretty face as she said, "Is he the recently famous Yafei? He seems quite dignified, but wearing a mask makes him seem a bit secretive, doesn't it?"

However, for some reason, she did feel a slight sense of goodwill towards Ning Feiliu the moment she saw her.

This is naturally because Ning Feiliu had previously completed the series of quests, "The Harvest of the Wandering God - The Kindness of Life," which gave her a 30% affinity bonus from intelligent beings.

Unless someone is extremely disgusted by him, strangers will feel favorably toward him from the start because of his friendliness.

"It's probably because he had some unavoidable reasons. In any case, it's his own predicament," Tang Yuehua said with a smile in her beautiful eyes.

"Aunt Yue, you really are... Do you know him? Otherwise, you're being too gentle." Shuanglan said helplessly.

"I don't know him, but I liked this kid the moment I saw him," Tang Yuehua said lazily. "If only he could join my Yuexuan Academy with that kind of temperament. It's such a waste that old poison monster Dugu Bo ruined such a good seed."

"With such strength and talent from Asia and Africa, Ruyuexuan is really wasting their potential," Shuanglan said helplessly.

"Hmph! How dare you speak like that, little girl? How has my Yuexuan been ruined? It should be a place for romance and poetry, not for such rude fighting and killing," Tang Yuehua said with dissatisfaction.

"Okay, Aunt Yue, whatever you say is right," Shuanglan quickly surrendered and said.

……

On the Great Battle Arena, Shi Ao continued to announce, "Next up is the challenger from Asia and Africa. He is currently also a Silver Battle Badge holder and has achieved an outstanding record of 63 wins and 17 losses."

"His martial soul is the strongest offensive beast martial soul in the entire Douluo Continent, the supreme beast... the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul!"

"He is... the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon—Yu! Tian! Heng!"

At Shi Ao's announcement, Yu Tianheng's soul power erupted like thunder. Unlike Ning Feiliu's low-key entrance, which was as graceful as the wind, he was like a demon lord descending to earth, his feet slamming into the Great Soul Battle Platform like cannonballs.

Unfortunately, the Great Battle Arena is made of extremely hard material. Even if he landed there, or even if he used his strongest soul skill to strike with all his might, he wouldn't be able to damage the Battle Arena in the slightest.

However, Yu Tianheng's appearance was still quite impressive.

At this moment, in the audience seats around the Soul Arena, a group of Soul Masters dressed in blue outfits, along with Yu Feng, Osro, and others, were also shouting!

"Yu Tianheng! Yu Tianheng!"

"Go, young master! Go, young master!"

"Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect will prevail! Young Master will prevail!"

……

This is clearly a family group.

However, their voices were not as loud as those of the audience supporting Ning Feiliu.

After all, Ning Feiliu's record is more brilliant, and his temperament is more likable to casual viewers.

It can be said that if it weren't for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan's Soul Masters cheering for Yu Tianheng, Ning Feiliu's momentum in this Soul Battle would have absolutely overwhelmed Yu Tianheng!

The moment Yu Tianheng stood firmly on the stage, he stared intently at Ning Feiliu in the distance.

Ning Feiliu's mask revealed two extremely calm eyes, with pupils as black as the moonlit night and eyes as delicate as willow leaves.

However, his eyes were indifferent as he looked at Yu Tianheng.

Although he didn't avoid him, he also didn't show any excitement. He simply glanced at Yu Tianheng indifferently.

At that moment, Shi Ao didn't hesitate and said directly to them, "Attention, both of you, you now have one minute to summon your Martial Soul. You may attack only when I announce the start. The battle continues until one side concedes, falls, or falls off the fighting platform!"

"no problem."

"Um."

The two responded.

Then Yu Tianheng took the lead in circulating his soul power, as if he dared not underestimate it at all, and summoned his martial soul!

"Martial Soul Possession!" Yu Tianheng roared.

Then his body underwent a dramatic change, and a dazzling blue light suddenly shone from between Yu Tianheng's eyebrows.

Immediately afterwards, blue light spread out instantly, descending from between his eyebrows into his entire body, and streaks of blue-purple electricity burst out like small snakes, circling around his body.

On the surface, Yu Tianheng's changes were not significant. Apart from a blue lightning bolt mark on his forehead, there was only one change on his body due to the possession of his martial soul.

However, this one change alone was more thorough than any change made by a Beast Soul Master.

The change was in his right arm.

The right sleeve of his clothes burst and turned to ashes due to the expansion of his right arm, and the length of his arm increased by more than half a foot.

His entire arm was extremely thick, covered with blue-purple scales, and his hand had transformed into a dragon claw, covered with the same scales. Every joint in his hand had become extremely large, and blue-purple snake electricity swirling around his body constantly condensed or flowed across his arm.

Unlike other soul masters, the three soul rings—two yellow and one purple—did not hover around their bodies, but rather hovered around this specially mutated arm!
