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

Chapter 111 Battle with Yu Tianheng (Part 2)

Starting from level 30, every time a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Soul Master obtains a Soul Ring, an additional feature on their body that resembles a dragon will appear when using their Martial Soul.

The change in Yu Tianheng's right arm is a prime example of the change in his first limb.

Once they reach level 70, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Soul Master can truly transform into a dragon, unleashing extremely terrifying power, and is hailed as the most terrifying offensive beast-type Soul Master of the same level.

Although it is limited to beast spirits, its power is still very strong.

The spirit system in Douluo Continent is quite interesting.

On one hand, if the combat system of Douluo Continent hadn't been so weak, like how a weapon weighing 108,000 jin could easily defeat a group of titled Douluos, and how a full-force attack from a god-level being could only destroy a city gate.

This manifestation of combat power may be similar to that in mythological stories such as "Journey to the West" from Ning Feiliu's previous life.

However, it still appears too weak. The so-called divine artifact, the Trident of Poseidon, could only be lifted by a crane in my previous life, which is quite beneath its prestige.

The Martial Soul system would actually be quite interesting if it weren't for the fact that its final combat power is so low.

The existence of Martial Souls allows cultivators who embark on the path of extraordinary cultivation to naturally possess powerful combat strength.

Because they don't need to rely on external objects, their own martial spirit is their reliance in battle.

For example, a good martial soul, such as a weapon martial soul like the Clear Sky Hammer, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, or the Seven Kill Sword, is equivalent to having a divine weapon that can be continuously upgraded from the start.

Beast Martial Souls are even more extraordinary, as they can transform into unique "Beast Martial Soul Forms." The boost provided by these form changes is far superior to that of Weapon Martial Souls.

Furthermore, these martial spirits cannot be separated, unlike other worlds' immortal artifacts or divine artifacts, which can be easily transferred to different owners.

Therefore, setting aside the issue of low combat power, the Martial Soul system is far more effective in the early and mid-stages than other extraordinary pathways in other worlds.

Especially for Beast Soul Masters, the early to mid-stage Soul Possession can significantly boost their various attributes!

However, the possession of a Beast Soul Master by their Martial Soul doesn't actually turn them into a beast, or even into a half-beast.

It can only be that a part of the exterior is covered with appearances such as hair, claws, and cat ears. In reality, the claws of a Beast Soul Master are still human hands, not the claws of a beast!

However, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, the direct descendant martial soul of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan, is different.

He can truly transform a part of his body into a dragon!

This was also the first time Ning Feiliu had witnessed the changes in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul. He looked at Yu Tianheng's dragon claw with genuine interest.

It's unbelievable... that it can actually be done to this extent. There's not a trace of human trace left on the entire arm. It's as if it really is the arm of a young dragon, severed off and then attached to Yu Tianheng's hand...

It was completely filled with an odd sense of incongruity!

Unfortunately, while this dragon claw exudes a domineering and majestic aura, it lacks a touch of sacredness.

"It is ultimately an incomplete dragon, far from being a true divine dragon," Ning Feiliu said, shaking her head.

This kind of dragon... is more like the evil lizard of the West, rather than the sacred and holy dragon of the East.

"An incomplete dragon?" Although they were far apart, Yu Tianheng still heard Ning Feiliu's whisper.

He was instantly enraged, and sneered, "Let me see what you're capable of, daring to spout nonsense about the martial spirit of my Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan here!"

The one-minute time limit for summoning a martial soul hadn't expired yet, and Ning Feiliu hadn't summoned her martial soul. He couldn't rashly break the rules.

"Summon your Martial Soul!" he said coldly. "Let me show you the power of my Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul!"

"Don't misunderstand, I wasn't saying anything harsh to you, I was just stating the facts," Ning Feiliu said calmly. "But anyway... I hope you can make me feel... satisfied!"

"Moonlight Power!" Two streams of light flashed through his body, and two peculiar martial souls appeared.

A dark and silent scene, like an ominous black full moon.

A clear blue color, like a starry sea, dazzling and magnificent, yet carrying a burning intensity.

At the same time, three unusual spirit rings—one yellow and two purple—appeared on his body, swirling around from beneath his feet.

……

"It has appeared, the Crescent Moon Divine Weapon." Tang Yuehua said with a smile from inside the private room.

Shuanglan looked at the two martial souls below and exclaimed in surprise, "These are... twin martial souls?!"

She had never come to watch this battle of spirits between Asia and Africa before, so naturally she had never known about the Crescent Moon Divine Weapon. Like everyone else who saw the Crescent Moon Divine Weapon at the beginning, she misunderstood it as a twin martial soul.

"And these spirit rings... two thousand-year spirit rings?!" Shuanglan stared wide-eyed at the sight of two thousand-year spirit rings among the three spirit rings.

"This is not a twin martial soul. Although it looks very similar, it is actually a unique five-in-one martial soul. However, the soul rings are indeed two thousand-year soul rings," Tang Yuehua said with a light laugh.

"A five-in-one?" Shuanglan frowned, no longer fixated on Ning Feiliu's peculiar spirit rings, and asked, "What does this mean?"

"Just like some historical dual-sword or dual-blade martial spirits, this is essentially five weapons coexisting as one martial spirit," Tang Yuehua said. "It's just that there are indeed too many martial spirits."

"I see." After hearing Tang Yuehua's explanation, Shuanglan finally understood what the five-in-one martial soul of the Crescent Moon Divine Weapon meant.

"Even in the academy's library, which records all sorts of martial souls from the Douluo Continent over tens of thousands of years, I've never heard of a martial soul like this." Although she understood, she couldn't help but complain, "This is too insane! Five different...weapons as martial souls?"

As the vice-captain and strategist of the first team of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, she was very knowledgeable, but she had never heard of such a thing before.

"History is merely dust of the past. Though it may have once shone brightly as a star, it ultimately cannot radiate the light of the future," Tang Yuehua said with a smile. "Shuanglan, your cultivation is higher than mine, but why do you always focus on the past?"

Upon hearing her words, Shuanglan seemed to understand something and said, "Yes... the development of Douluo Continent is changing rapidly. It would be too old-fashioned of me to use the past to measure the present."

"But Aunt Yue, you said he has five martial souls? But he only has two right now."

"Of the Crescent Moon Divine Weapon Martial Souls, what you see so far are Falling Bright and Glowing Flame. He also has three Crescent Moon Divine Weapons, namely Soul Severing, Mirror Folding, and Azure Penetrating," Tang Yuehua said with a smile. "However, his Martial Souls seem to have a kind of constraint, preventing him from using them simultaneously or switching between them freely. He can only change to a new Martial Soul at specific times."

"However, his martial spirit names... Fallen Bright, Glowing Flame, Broken Soul, Folded Mirror, Azure Penetration, not a single character contains the word 'moon,' yet they all evoke the image of moonlight. Truly... quite the literary talent!"

Tang Yuehua narrowed her eyes again and said with a smile, "This is indeed a fine material for my Yuexuan Pavilion."

Shuanglan felt somewhat helpless, thinking that this person's strength and talent were so formidable, that becoming an actor at Yuexuan was truly a waste of his talent.

While they were talking, Ning Feiliu and Yu Tianheng had already made their move on the battle stage below!

Ning Feiliu and Yu Tianheng set off almost simultaneously.

A flash of blue light appeared, and the thick dragon arm shimmered with a dazzling blue brilliance under the lights of the central arena. Before the person even arrived, the blue lightning had already condensed into a claw shape in mid-air and rushed straight towards Ning Feiliu's original location.

But Ning Feiliu was also moving, except... he wasn't rushing towards Yu Tianheng, but instead quickly moved to the right!

He didn't wait for Yu Tianheng's attack to come before moving away; instead, he got out of Yu Tianheng's attack range first.

At the same time, the dark purple light wave swirled in the air and landed precisely on Yu Tianheng!

Yu Tianheng was caught off guard and quickly raised his dragon-transformed right hand, covered in thick scales, to directly withstand the counterattack from Ning Feiliu!

"Knock knock knock—"

Countless dark purple light waves fell on the blue dragon scales, producing a sound like war drums!

It's blocked!

At the same time, Yu Tianheng felt his body become much heavier; the gravity... had changed.

The gravity has increased by almost 40 percent, which means that if he doesn't unleash even greater force, his speed will decrease by 40 percent.

The gravity amplification effect of the Crescent Moon Divine Weapon - Falling Light is similar to the original amplification effect of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, both depending on Ning Feiliu's current soul power level plus 10%.

"No wonder Yu Feng was defeated back then." This thought flashed through Yu Tianheng's mind.

With gravity increased by 40%, and given that Yu Feng was severely injured by Ning Feiliu's third soul skill, Yingyan, his proud speed would be completely unleashed.

Crucially, Ning Feiliu's speed also surprised him.

Yu Tianheng had a general understanding of the effects of Ning Feiliu's different Crescent Moon Divine Weapons beforehand. In addition to the different attack methods, Ning Feiliu would also exhibit different abilities when wielding different Crescent Moon Divine Weapons.

For example, Zhuiming, in the eyes of outsiders, would naturally slow down the opponent.

Unbeknownst to them, the Falling Light also increases Ning Feiliu's physical defense, as such a defensive boost is rarely noticeable in battle.

In fact, when facing opponents with higher soul power, Ning Feiliu's defensive amplification from Zhuiming allowed him to withstand a significant number of attacks.

Another thing is Tongbi, which will increase Ning Feiliu's speed to a certain extent, which is very obvious in battle.

In addition, the Mirror of Destruction, Soul Severance, and Firefly represent spiritual amplification, attack amplification, and power amplification, which are difficult to see directly in battle and are therefore unknown to most people.

Yu Tianheng had already planned that Ning Feiliu's speed wouldn't be very fast when using Zhui Ming and Ying Yan.

That's why he was thinking of using the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul's impressive speed to quickly get close to Ning Feiliu and inflict damage!

But I never expected Ning Feiliu to be so fast even without using the Jade Pendant!

This was a miscalculation on his part.

At the same time, Zhuiming's attack had a gravity-increasing effect, making it difficult for him to look up.

Since normal attacks don't work, then...

His first spirit ring silently shone brightly, "First Spirit Skill! Thunder Dragon Claw!"

Yu Tianheng unleashed his soul power, and the lightning that erupted from his right hand collided with the densely packed waves of falling light that had been enveloping them, instantly annihilating each other into nothingness.

It was in this fleeting moment that he manifested lightning in his right hand, roaring as it tore towards Ning Feiliu's direction.

A raging azure lightning bolt detached from his dragon-transformed right hand, transforming into a ferocious dragon claw that hurtled towards Ning Feiliu in the distance.

The air distorted violently wherever it passed, bursting out with a heart-stopping crackling sound!

However, Ning Feiliu neither dodged nor evaded; instead, the spirit rings beneath her feet lit up...

"Fiery Flame... Second Soul Skill!" A detached voice emanated from beneath the mask, accompanied by moonlight flashing across his body. In an instant, blue lightning and moonlight exploded together, distorting his next words.

"...Hanabi Hoshizuki!"

The massive explosion engulfed the entire Great Battle Arena, but it failed to damage the arena in the slightest.

After all, the materials here are capable of withstanding battles between Soul Emperors.

Although Ning Feiliu and Yu Tianheng's martial souls are strong, they cannot reach the level of Soul Emperor-level destructive power at the Soul Venerable level.

However... the light from the explosion of electricity and moonlight was like a thousand light bulbs gathered on the Great Battle Arena, making it difficult for people to open their eyes.

Yu Tianheng felt as if his eyes were blind, unable to see the scene before him at all.

But at that moment, the hairs on his body suddenly stood on end!

Then he immediately tried to get away from where he was!

Even though he looked a bit disheveled, he didn't care.

but……

"Falling Brightness! First Soul Skill!"

"Ground frost erosion!"

In an instant, the terrifying gravity, like countless invisible hands, gripped him tightly in place!

"Third Soul Skill!!!"

Almost instantly, Yu Tianheng activated his third soul skill, "Wrath of Thunder!"

At that moment, a dazzling blue lightning bolt burst forth from his body.

With a loud shout, he instantly broke free from the binding effect of the Frostbite!

This is precisely the powerful effect granted by his third soul skill.

Thunderous Fury, Effect: For a certain period of time, it puts the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Soul Master into a berserk state, increasing lightning power by 100% and soul power by 50%.

If he doesn't voluntarily stop the skill, it will continue until his soul power is exhausted.

Each time Thunderous Fury is unleashed, it consumes a large amount of soul power and puts a considerable burden on the body. If he hadn't been in a crisis, Yu Tianheng would never have released his third soul skill so easily.

But at this moment, he seemed to panic again, and put his hands in front of him to block.

The next moment, Ning Feiliu's calm voice rang out, "God of Forging..."

"...the summons!"

Accompanied by a sound like glass shattering, it seemed as if something had broken.

Then, the entire Soul Arena became incredibly hot, as if it had been set ablaze!

After much thought, I decided to let the protagonist use this "self-created soul skill" for the first time here.

The purpose is nothing more than to show off.

However, the protagonist uses this because he wants to change his spirit ring to improve his strength, since he needs to continue his winning streak and needs to improve his strength again.

The original plan was to force Ye Lingling and the protagonist to use it when facing two exceptionally powerful level 39 Soul Masters, but the protagonist's personality wouldn't change unless forced into a passive position.

He should have considered this before encountering such an opponent and made himself stronger in the process.
