Douluo: Yun Ming in the Spirit Hall Era

Chapter 18 Royal Power

"Bang!" The arrow pierced through the tree with a loud bang.

As Yun Ming emerged from behind the tree, the Zhu family members finally saw the spy's mask.

After learning the identities of these people, Yun Ming took out a mask from the Phoenix Ring in his hand and put it on his face.

Zhu Zhuyun looked at the young man in front of her, who was about 1.7 meters tall, with a slender and well-proportioned figure. He was dressed in a simple white casual outfit and wore a black ghost mask on his face, revealing only a pair of handsome eyes.

That's right, it was a young man. Although he covered his face, the skin on his neck and hands was still exposed. Through this smooth skin, Zhu Zhuyun could tell that the person in front of her was not old.

Zhu Zhuyun waved for the archer guards to step back, then looked at Yun Ming, who was wearing a mask, and asked him warily.

"May I ask what brings you here, sir?"

As she spoke, Zhu Zhuyun was still pondering whether this person's purpose in appearing would affect the purpose of her trip.

Zhu Zhuqing's eyes lit up; Yun Ming's appearance brought her new hope.

When Yunming saw Zhu Zhuyun looking wary, he casually replied with a single sentence.

"Nothing, I just heard a noise and came to check!"

Yun Ming arrived at the scene just seconds after the girl in black was shot, witnessing the entire interaction between the two sisters. He now roughly understood the sisters' situation: a blood feud stemming from the power struggle for the highest imperial authority in Xingluo. Initially, Yun Ming felt this was the price to pay for participating in the power struggle, nothing wrong with it. However, seeing Zhu Zhuqing, who was clearly about his age, with lifeless eyes, and knowing she might die there soon, Yun Ming felt a pang of pity.

Moreover, Yang Yi is currently absorbing a spirit ring, and they cannot be allowed to disturb him. Therefore, Yun Ming decided to defeat Zhu Zhuyun and rescue Zhu Zhuqing.

Fortunately, the highest-ranking member of the Zhu family present was the Soul Sect guard, and there shouldn't be any stronger individuals there. Otherwise, whether the two sisters' side wanted to kill or stop the fighting, the battle wouldn't have continued until now.

The boy's voice was clear and bright, as warm and gentle as jade, but to Zhu Zhuyun, it conveyed only two words: "variability." After hearing Yun Ming's reply, Zhu Zhuyun adjusted her plans and said coldly.

"In that case, let's stay together!"

After saying that, Zhu Zhuyun signaled her three subordinates to attack Yun Ming, while Zhu Zhuyun herself turned into a blur and headed towards Zhu Zhuqing.

Yun Ming looked at the three men attacking him with some confusion. He hadn't even finished off Zhu Zhuqing, so why were all his subordinates attacking him? Or was Zhu Zhuyun so confident of victory? Yun Ming considered Zhu Zhuqing's current waist injury, and the fact that Zhu Zhuyun was more than ten levels higher in cultivation than Zhu Zhuqing. It seemed Zhu Zhuqing's chances of winning were indeed slim. Yun Ming could only hope that Zhu Zhuqing could stall until he could deal with the guards!

In the blink of an eye, the Soul Master, the most powerful of the three guards, charged towards Yun Ming. He roared at Yun Ming as he ran.

"You charlatan, die!"

With the arrival of the Martial Soul Raging Flame Rhinoceros, the guard's height directly exceeded two meters, his muscles bulged, and a rhinoceros horn grew on his head, stretching his originally loose black robe into a tight-fitting suit.

"Exploding Flame Top!"

The guard shouted, his third soul ring lit up, and flames burst forth from his body, converging on the rhinoceros horn above his head. He stomped his foot heavily on the ground, creating a loud boom, and his figure moved like a meteor streaking across the sky, bringing with it an astonishing gust of wind, heading towards Yunming Peak with unstoppable force.

Seeing the Mad Flame Rhinoceros Soul Sect charging head-on with a strong wind, Yun Ming was not intimidated at all. The ethereal and transparent Sky-Supporting Spear appeared in his hand, and he casually twirled the spear, getting into a fighting stance.

In an instant, the Heaven-Supporting Spear shone brightly with golden soul power, which began to condense. When the Soul Master was only two zhang away from Yun Ming, the spearhead of the Heaven-Supporting Spear had completely turned golden. Although it looked ancient and majestic, no one present felt any power emanating from the Heaven-Supporting Spear.

The other two guards sneered when they saw Yun Ming's intention to directly confront 'Exploding Flame Peak'. A mere Soul Master trying to fight their captain's strongest burst attack head-on was utterly overestimating himself. Although they didn't know where the other person's Soul Rings were, the Soul Power fluctuations were clearly only at the Soul Master level.

Just as Longbow Soul Master inwardly sneered, Yun Ming, having completed his preparations, thrust forward at the approaching Mad Flame Rhinoceros Soul Master. The thrust was slow, even somewhat deliberate, giving the impression that the spear in his hand was incredibly heavy, impossible for Yun Ming to wield. However, though slow, the spear was steady and precise. Before the two clashed head-on, Mad Flame Rhinoceros Soul Master only heard Yun Ming utter a low shout.

"Royal power!!!"

The golden spear tip of the Sky-Piercing Spear clashed head-on with the Fiery Rhinoceros Horn, a clash of titans.

"Bang!"

The spear tip and rhinoceros horn collided with a deafening roar, causing the ground beneath their feet to crack and dust to billow. The Mad Flame Rhinoceros Soul Sect's "Exploding Flame Peak" technique was actually halted by Yun Ming's slow, deliberate spear strike.

"How is that possible?!"

This left the other two guards in disbelief. Their captain had actually been stopped by that single shot, unable to advance an inch. Their captain's strongest attack, a combination of a running start, his martial spirit, and his soul skill, had actually been broken by that kid's slow, stationary shot.

Right now, the Mad Flame Rhinoceros Soul Sect had no time to pay attention to his subordinates' astonishment. He was not only struggling to resist the astonishing power erupting from the spear in front of him, but also had to withstand the supreme pressure emanating from the radiant golden spear, a pressure akin to that of an emperor. That power was just as noble, powerful, and domineering as the Star Luo Emperor's majesty he had once felt—practically identical! However, the Star Luo Emperor was a peak Soul Douluo, while this person before him was merely a Soul Venerable. How could this be?!

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

The moment the Raging Flame Rhinoceros Soul Sect member made contact with the spear, he felt an overwhelming and irresistible pressure. Even with years of rigorous training and the experience of witnessing the might of the Star Luo Emperor, his will remained strong, yet he was still subdued by a single spear thrust. His rhinoceros horn began to crumble under the spear's sharp edge. Seeing this, Yun Ming roared.

"Break it!"

"Click~"

"Ahhhhh."

The Sky-Piercing Spear crushed the rhinoceros horn. After letting out a painful scream, the Mad Flame Rhinoceros Soul Sect member fell unconscious under the combined effects of Yun Ming's 'Royal Authority' spear technique and the shattering of his martial soul.

Yun Ming wasn't particularly happy to see the Soul Master opposite him subdued with a single spear thrust, because he sensed a slight stagnation. He was somewhat surprised and sighed inwardly. Although the nearly ten-level difference in Soul Power cultivation had an impact, this 'Royal Authority' itself still had some issues.

Over the past six years, Yun Ming has used "Reigning Supreme" as his guiding principle, along with his years of cultivation of the Soul-Breaking Spear Technique, which includes some methods of soul power circulation. The Soul-Breaking Clan has followed the Clear Sky Sect for so many years, and this is one of the few gains in the future development direction of weapon spirits. In addition, he has also gained insights into various spear techniques from the Star Luo Army, such as the Hundred Battles Spear Technique, and so on. He has created three spear techniques, and "Royal Power" is one of them.

"Royal Authority" is a direct, offensive spear technique. Based on Yun Ming's innate invincible spirit and "ruling the world," it amplifies the aspect of "majesty" to the extreme, creating a spear technique imbued with imperial majesty. Moreover, the power of "Royal Authority" grows stronger over time, making it the most powerful spear technique Yun Ming has created so far. However, it also consumes a great deal of energy; this single strike directly depleted thirty percent of Yun Ming's soul power.
