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

Chapter 149 The Will to Fight

The combination of the Remnant Moon Divine Weapon, such as the Folding Mirror and the Soul Breaker, is naturally difficult to deal with agile attack-type Soul Masters who possess the ability to fly.

However, they are not completely incapable of dealing with it. Although the Mirror of Deflection and the Soul of Severance are better in close combat, they are not incapable of ranged attacks.

To be precise, Ning Feiliu used three crescent moon divine weapons—Fiery Flame, Folding Mirror, and Soul Severing—in this battle against Zuo Chi.

With the combined power of the three Crescent Moon Divine Weapons, even Zuo Chi was finding it difficult to defend himself.

Furthermore, Zhejing and Duanpo are not advantageous against agile attack-type battle spirit masters who can fly. But can Zuo Chi just keep flying in the sky and not try to come down and attack Ning Feiliu to defeat him and win this battle of spirits?

Taking advantage of the moment when Zuo Chi activated his third soul skill to attack her, Ning Feiliu directly used the acceleration effect of Soul Breaker, and the second soul skill of Folding Mirror, Moon Mirror, copied Zuo Chi's third soul skill, directly defeating Zuo Chi.

After defeating Zuo Chi, who was then taken away by Carlisle, the captain of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team, Ning Feiliu turned to look at the only remaining Soul Master at the Soul Venerable level on the waiting stand—Xue Xiaoling Yue.

He didn't say much, but his meaning was clear: let Ling Yue step up and fight him.

However, upon seeing this, Ling Yue smiled slightly and stood up.

However, he looked at Ning Feiliu and said with a smile, "What a pity. I know you must really want to fight me, but..."

"I recently broke through to the Soul Master realm, and I'm no longer on the same level as you... However, you should also know that the Heaven Dou Grand Soul Arena has a special rule. What? Do you dare?"

After saying that, he directly summoned his martial spirit and spirit rings.

"Martial Soul Possession!"

As Ling Yue's soul power surged, his entire body was covered in white feathers. His arms transformed into feathers, becoming a pair of enormous white wings, and sharp claws like swords extended from his feet.

Most importantly... four spirit rings swirled out from beneath his feet, two yellow and two purple, indicating that he had indeed reached the Soul Master realm!

He stared sharply at Ning Feiliu, his gaze full of provocation.

Ling Yue was clearly using a provocation tactic, wanting Ning Feiliu to challenge him first, so that he could use his Soul Sect strength to teach Ning Feiliu, who was still a Soul Venerable, a lesson!

Although it was somewhat shameless, all three of his teammates suffered such a crushing defeat at Ning Feiliu's hands today, and were all defeated by Ning Feiliu one by one, even though they took turns fighting.

If he doesn't get his revenge, then the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy team will have completely lost face today.

Before Ning Feiliu could react, the other audience members on stage erupted in cheers.

They began to whisper among themselves.

"Should we... challenge someone of a higher level? Although the Heaven Dou Grand Soul Arena does have such a rule, how many years has it been since I've seen anyone challenge someone of a higher level?"

"The last person to challenge someone of a higher level in the Heaven Dou Arena... I remember it was that Haotian Douluo forty years ago, right?"

"If Asia and Africa were to truly face a challenge from a higher level, I don't think they would be completely without a chance of winning."

"I think that Yafei has become incredibly strong lately. He has defeated quite a few level 39 Soul Masters. So what if he faces a Soul Grandmaster who is a level higher?"

"It's still very difficult... Just thinking about it makes it seem impossible to win. This is a battle across a whole realm!"

"Moreover, this student from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy named Ling Yue is definitely a genius Soul Master, not just an ordinary Soul Master."

"No! I believe in Afro! He's undefeated! So what if he challenges someone of a higher level? It's not like he's several levels above him, he can't lose!"

"Yes! I believe in Asia and Africa!"

"Go Asia and Africa! Keep it up!"

"Go Asia and Africa! Keep it up!"

"Go Asia and Africa! Keep it up!"

……

Suddenly, the entire audience began chanting the name "Africa and Asia" again.

It seems they want Ning Feiliu to agree to this challenge that puts her above her level.

Yu Tianheng and the others in the spectator stands were somewhat bewildered.

"What are these guys doing?" Yu Feng sneered. "Who do they think Ya Fei is facing? That's the strongest agility-type Soul Master at our Heaven Dou Royal Academy! If it were a match of equals, Ya Fei might have a chance, but Senior Ling has already broken through to the Soul Master level!"

At the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Ling Yue is indeed the strongest agility-type battle spirit master. After all, his spirit power cultivation is undeniable, and he also possesses excellent spirit quality, spirit ring configuration, and extensive combat experience.

Therefore, even before breaking through to the Soul Master level, Ling Yue was already the strongest agility-type Soul Master among the current students of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Not to mention that Ling Yue has now broken through to the Soul Master realm.

I believe his skills will improve to a new level.

To actually attempt a challenge beyond one's level is truly wishful thinking.

Even if this person is the "African and Asian" who has defeated countless powerful enemies and remains undefeated to this day.

"Thinking about it carefully, even though he's very strong, Yafei would never agree," Yu Tianxin said with a smile. "There's no need to follow these guys' lead and agree to a challenge that's beyond our level."

"Haha, I'd love to see Yafei agree to challenge Senior Ling Yue, who's a level above him. Then we'll see Yafei suffer a crushing defeat," Oslo said, looking on with amusement.

After saying that, he even helped to stir things up.

Yu Tianheng remained silent, watching Ning Feiliu, who was still silent on the Soul Battle Stage.

He didn't join in the conversation between Yu Tianxin and the other two, but he had a vague feeling that Yafei... would agree.

It wasn't that he thought Yafei was impulsive; on the contrary, ever since he met Yafei, every time he watched him fight, and even the time he fought Yafei himself, he could sense from Yafei's fighting style...

Yafei is a calm person to the core.

His composure was almost etched into his soul; every time he raised his hand to attack, every time he dodged, it was filled with extreme calmness.

We will not act rashly, we will not make mistakes, and all our actions will be solely for the purpose of winning the battle.

He seemed like a battle-hardened warrior... no, he should be called a god of war.

Yu Tianheng felt that Yafei was truly like a god of war. He was too calm in battle, yet he gave the impression that this guy would never fail, to the point that Yu Tianheng even doubted whether the face under that mask was human...

Therefore, from a calm and competitive perspective, Asia and Africa would absolutely not agree to it.

Because challenging opponents of higher levels is extremely difficult, and Yafei is not a battle maniac, but a martial god who pursues victory and invincibility.

In pursuit of victory, one should not challenge opponents one cannot defeat.

But for some reason, Yu Tianheng felt that Asia and Africa would agree to this challenge that was beyond their level.

Perhaps... he thinks that Yafei will still defeat Ling Yue despite being of a higher level?

When the idea first came to Yu Tianheng's mind, he found it somewhat absurd.

However, with the emergence of this idea, his belief in Ning Feiliu's inevitable victory became even more deeply rooted.

So... Asia and Africa, what would you choose?

Yu Tianheng stared intently at Ning Feiliu on the Soul Battle Platform.

……

Standing on the Soul Battle Platform, Ning Feiliu was watching Ling Yue intently as he summoned his Martial Soul.

He really didn't expect that Ling Yue would have broken through to the Soul Sect realm when he returned this time.

However, upon closer reflection, Ling Yue's soul power level had already reached level thirty-nine before this. Going out to travel and then returning, and then breaking through to the Soul Sect, is indeed not a very unbelievable thing.

However, Ning Feiliu was in a bit of a predicament.

A challenge beyond one's level?

The Heaven Dou Grand Soul Arena does indeed have this rule, allowing lower-level Soul Masters to challenge Soul Masters of a higher level.

At that time, not only will the Soul Master's level be ignored, but also the badge level, allowing the two sides to engage in battle.

However, everyone knows that challenging someone of a higher level is very disadvantageous for a lower-level Soul Master.

A crushing defeat of a higher level, plus an additional powerful high-level thousand-year soul skill, will allow Ling Yue to completely overwhelm Ning Feiliu in terms of physical attributes, soul power, and soul skills.

but……

Flames ignited in Ning Feiliu's eyes beneath her mask.

He reabsorbed two thousand-year soul rings, so now his three thousand-year soul rings are nearly 20,000 years old in total.

His physical abilities... are not necessarily much worse than those of a Soul Master.

Therefore, Ling Yue is only one hundred-year soul ring ahead of him. As for soul skills, he can have six soul skills by using only two Crescent Moon Divine Weapons.

Not to mention the special circumstances, such as being caught in a triple or even quadruple cut.

On the contrary, it is his number of soul skills that far surpasses Ling Yue's.

In addition... he also has the summons of the God of Forging and the God of Ice and Snow!

Even now, after three battles, he only has about half of his original soul power left.

But he might not necessarily lose.

He took a step forward, his eyes blazing with a fighting spirit that seemed almost tangible.

In the original storyline, Tang San was able to challenge opponents of higher levels, so it's not impossible for him to do the same!

Although Tang San relied on the power of hidden weapons, Ning Feiliu also had his own reliance!

And should he really back down in the face of Ling Yue's provocation?

Did he become discouraged because the mission might fail?

In his previous life, Ning Feiliu enrolled in a martial arts school where his senior brothers told him that those who practice martial arts are all about fighting for their pride!

and so!

war!

Ning Feiliu immediately looked up at Ling Yue and said resolutely, "Come and fight!"

A fighting spirit burned like fire in his heart. He had a premonition that after he had a good breath today, his future cultivation path would be much smoother!

Just then, another line of small print appeared before his eyes.

[By igniting your fighting spirit and completing challenges beyond your current level, defeating an opponent of a significantly higher cultivation level, you can obtain the Will of Atreus.]

Atreus's Will...

Ning Feiliu was stunned for a moment. Atreus was the vessel of Pantheon, the Celestial Spirit of War, but he was not Pantheon.

This refers to Atreus's will, and this task... isn't particularly difficult; it's impossible to directly obtain Pantheon's power.

So Atreus here is probably the mortal warrior Rakkor who fought on despite repeated defeats.

However, Atreus's will, even if it is the will of a mortal, can one day reignite the power of the Celestial Armaments!

It is an unyielding belief that dares to challenge the heavens!

Ning Feiliu did not underestimate this reward; on the contrary, the reward made her fighting spirit even stronger!

"Hahaha! Very good! Very good!" Ling Yue was also very satisfied. Sure enough, this naive young man fell for it!

The entire audience erupted in cheers upon hearing Ning Feiliu's challenge.

Only... the other two people in the stands.

"Fei... Xiao Fei, don't be impulsive!" Ning Mingrui almost called out Ning Feiliu's real name in his anxiety, but he immediately realized his mistake and changed his words.

In his view, this challenge beyond his level was clearly a provocation by Ling Yue to provoke Ning Feiliu.

Throughout history, only a very few people have been able to challenge those of higher levels, especially since Ling Yue himself is a genius Soul Master. How could he possibly be easily challenged by someone of a higher level?

Ye Lingling also bit her lip; she actually wanted to speak up and stop Ning Feiliu.

But then she suddenly remembered Ning Feiliu's terrifying move in the Sunset Forest, which directly killed the Soul King named Hu Da.

Although that Soul King named Hu Da doesn't seem to be very strong.

But Ning Feiliu was able to kill Hu Da, and besides... he is Ning Feiliu.

Ye Lingling didn't know when, but she began to blindly believe in Ning Feiliu, as if he had a special power that made it possible for him to do anything in the world.

This trust led her to stop questioning all of Ning Feiliu's actions.

Even let her...

"Don't worry, I might have been a bit impulsive." Ning Feiliu revealed a fiercely competitive smile beneath her mask, saying, "But I will never do anything I'm not entirely confident about... Come on! I will be... destiny!"

"Destiny?!" Everyone was shocked by Ning Feiliu's words.

However, although this era was a feudal era, the supreme ruler of the empire was the emperor.

However, it seems that the concept of the Mandate of Heaven belonging solely to the emperor did not exist in this era.

After all, what is an emperor? The emperors of the two great empires might not even be as powerful as a Sword Douluo, a top-tier titled Douluo.

Therefore, although Ning Feiliu's words sounded arrogant, they were not illegal.

Moreover, he has Poison Douluo behind him, so who would dare to touch him because of that?

Everyone present felt that Asia and Africa were incredibly bold and domineering!

And he is qualified!

Some people say they want to be emperor in the future, and others just think they're a fool.

But if you heard a young man who was exceptionally talented, incredibly wealthy, and possessed unparalleled martial prowess say this... you would probably think he was truly bold!

In the eyes of the audience, Ning Feiliu was a genius soul master who had the right to say such a thing!

Among the young talents of the Heaven Dou Empire, only the "Asia-Africa" ​​before us has such lofty aspirations and the right to say such things!

If Ning Feiliu really defeats Ling Yue despite being of a higher level...

That sentence will become a legend in Ning Feiliu's life!

If Ning Feiliu becomes a Title Douluo in the future, this legendary story will be talked about for a long time.

If he goes further and achieves the same great feats as Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu, then his story will become a historical anecdote and be passed down through history books!

"Asia and Africa!"

Suddenly someone shouted something, instantly igniting the enthusiasm of the audience.

"Africa and Asia! Africa and Asia!"

"Africa and Asia! Africa and Asia!"

"Africa and Asia! Africa and Asia!"

……

The crowd cheered for the name "Asia-Africa" ​​once again, and Ling Yue couldn't help but feel a bit of pressure.

If he really loses to this kid today, wouldn't he become this kid's background and stepping stone in the future?

But he took a deep breath and flew directly onto the Soul Arena.

"Destiny?! That's incredibly arrogant." Ling Yue sneered. "Don't think that just because you defeated those Soul Masters of the same level, and my teammates, you can definitely beat me... Let me tell you, you're destined to lose today!"

"I only believe that victory or defeat is in my own hands," Ning Feiliu said calmly. "Come on!"

There's no need for a host anymore; both sides have already released their martial spirits and are about to start fighting!

"Drink—!" Ling Yue didn't fly directly into the air like Yu Feng and Zuo Chi to take advantage of the air. Instead, he flapped his wings and disappeared from the spot in an instant!

What a great speed!

Ning Feiliu's pupils narrowed slightly in an instant; this speed was even faster than Zuo Chi's!

but……

He used the Folding Mirror and the Broken Soul to parry!

Ling Yue's figure appeared in front of Ning Feiliu, and the Folding Mirror and Soul-Severing Sword in his hands directly blocked the attack of Ling Yue's wings.

"You actually managed to react to my speed..." Ling Yue looked at Ning Feiliu, who had successfully blocked his attack, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

After breaking through to the Soul Master level, his speed was 50% faster than before, and even Zuo Chi, who was also a speed-attack type Soul Master, couldn't react to his extreme speed.

But Ning Feiliu realized what was happening.

Moreover, Ling Yue was somewhat puzzled as he sensed Ning Feiliu's power, which seemed to be no weaker than his own.

Ning Feiliu is not just a Soul Master, how could she not only react quickly but also be as strong as him?

Although he was only an agility-type Soul Master, one should know that a difference of one major level in Soul Power should result in a significant difference in strength and speed.

Suddenly, Ning Feiliu moved.

He pushed off with both feet, unleashing a powerful burst of strength, and the first spirit ring beneath his feet lit up!

"Soul Severance! First Soul Skill! Arc Light and Shadow!"

Happy Dragon Boat Festival to everyone, brothers!
