Douluo's Bone Transforms into a Divine Dragon

Chapter 237 Seventy-Game Winning Streak, Level 66

Another six months passed in the blink of an eye, and the killing spree between Gu Xuan and Dugu Yan never stopped and continued.

Inside the Hell Slaughter Arena, Gu Xuan was surrounded by nine people. He had long since become the biggest threat in their eyes because his number of victories far exceeded theirs—a full seventy victories, which meant that over a thousand people had died at Gu Xuan's hands.

Including the first month, Gu Xuan and Dugu Yan have been in the City of Slaughter for seven months. In just seven months, Gu Xuan has already won seventy matches.

This means that Gu Xuan has at least ten matches every month, a number that is unique in the history of the Killing City.

Today, Gu Xuan has another title here: Shura, the Shura King from Hell.

Dugu Yan also has her own title, although it is a nickname given to her by others, it is indeed a way of addressing them.

Although Dugu Yan was slightly inferior to Gu Xuan, she still had a total of 65 wins, only five fewer than Gu Xuan. Her nickname was Rakshasa, the Rakshasa Queen!

At this moment, the other nine people in the Hell Slaughter Arena had surrounded Gu Xuan. Their eyes were full of bluster but no courage, because they knew that if they didn't kill Gu Xuan first, none of them would survive.

A touch of blood red appeared in his cold, dark pupils, and a cold, bloodthirsty killing intent spread from Gu Xuan's body almost instantly. This was the killing intent that Gu Xuan had accumulated and comprehended from endless killing over the past seven months!

With his eyes closed, he seemed to somewhat enjoy the trembling of the fallen ones around him. Only by constantly struggling on the edge of life and death could one understand the true meaning of real combat.

Roars and howls erupted almost simultaneously from nine directions around Gu Xuan as his nine opponents lunged at him from the center.

He suddenly opened his eyes and saw nine people rushing towards him from nine different directions, but this did not disturb Gu Xuan's mind in the slightest.

His figure flickered like an illusion, and his feet seemed to be on springs. Relying on his terrifying explosive power, Gu Xuan's body flashed in front of an opponent in an instant.

The next moment, a steel knife in one of the men's hands was embedded in his neck.

He turned sideways, kicked, and raised his right hand, his dark golden, sharp three-foot claws already beheading another person.

With a series of quick shifts and maneuvers, Gu Xuan held nothing back. The enhancement from his Martial Soul and the terror of his Dark Gold Terror Claws meant that in just one round, only two people remained on the field.

The remaining two were the strongest of the nine, both possessing the cultivation level of Soul Saint.

However, soul power level is not everything here, because even ordinary people have the opportunity to fight against ordinary soul masters.

If they could use their soul skills, the remaining two might pose a slight threat to Gu Xuan, but this is the City of Slaughter, and any soul skills would be ineffective.

Having been forged by three immortal herbs, two external soul bones, and soul rings absorbed beyond his level, Gu Xuan's physical strength was far superior to theirs. While soul power was important, without soul skills, it did not play an absolute role in battle.

The two men moved simultaneously, their target still Gu Xuan. With the help of their powerful soul energy, they charged towards Gu Xuan from two different angles.

Their mental energy was completely locked onto the Asura King who had won seventy battles. They knew that victory or defeat depended on this one move, and this was their only chance.

Gu Xuan's lips curled up, and with a sudden burst of power from his strong legs, he shot out like a cannonball, charging towards a Soul Master carrying a large hammer.

Dark Gold Terrorclaw first deflected the opponent's hammer, then split the opponent's body into six pieces, and then turned around and unleashed another burst of power. The same scene was repeated. Less than thirty seconds into the match, only Gu Xuan's figure remained in the center of the arena.

"Asura King! Asura King! Asura King!"

Countless fallen ones roared, their fear of Gu Xuan's strength and cold-bloodedness did not diminish their excitement.

With 71 wins, Gu Xuan is one step closer to 100 wins.

.........

The City of Slaughter, a dark and spacious room.

There was an exceptionally large chair, inlaid with blue and purple crystals that outlined a drum tower shape. Apart from this chair, everything else here was dark red.

"The Asura King has won another battle." A cold female voice echoed in the darkness.

"I know." A cold voice rang out, and a tall figure sat down in the giant chair.

His features were obscured in the darkness; one could only vaguely discern that he was a tall and imposing figure.

"Your Majesty, should we begin to make contact with him? The City of Slaughter hasn't had a truly powerful member join for a long time." The woman's voice rang out again, but this time it was gentler and less cold.

The tall man sitting upright in the chair did not answer the question, but instead asked in return, "Do you think he is a true strongman?"

In the dimly lit room, the woman's figure could not be seen, only her voice could be heard again: "Putting aside strength, at least in terms of technique, he is..."

"The Asura King seems to have been born for the City of Slaughter. His soul power is not particularly strong, but his various skills are terrifyingly powerful. Even a Title Douluo would not be able to kill him in the City of Slaughter without soul skills."

"His skill of possessing an external soul bone has a unique advantage here. With that claw, he is indeed a strong person here, and I can guarantee that he still has at least one soul bone."

The King of Slaughter remained silent for a moment before his voice slowly rang out: "Then do you think he can complete a hundred matches and challenge the Road to Hell?"

"For him, completing a hundred matches is only a matter of time. But he probably won't be able to get through the Hell Road yet," the woman replied after a moment's hesitation.

The King of Slaughter coldly said, "There's no need to contact him."

"Why? Great King, don't you want our City of Slaughter to become stronger? Although we had an agreement with the Spirit Hall a thousand years ago, who knows when they might break it?"

The King of Slaughter coldly replied, "The Spirit Hall doesn't have time to deal with us right now."

The King of Slaughter remained silent, waving his hand to plunge the dark room into complete darkness, and the woman's voice never returned.

In the darkness, the King of Slaughter's eyes shone like blood-red gems as he gazed at the dome, as if he could see the purple moon through it.

"Is this God's will?" a deep voice murmured in the darkness.

With a wave of his hand, a thick, dark red liquid flew out in front of him. In the darkness, there was a huge pool of blood in front of him, filled with viscous blood.

He opened his mouth and swallowed the blood, revealing two fangs faintly in the dim light.

…………

Gu Xuan walked off the competition stage. Dugu Yan, who was in the stands, had already arrived at the entrance of the Hell Slaughter Arena. Because of her presence, no one dared to approach the entrance of the Hell Slaughter Arena.

Upon seeing Gu Xuan, Dugu Yan waved to him and came to his side. She then took his arm, completely unconcerned about the bloodstains on his body.

"Congratulations, Xiao Xuan, you're one step closer to the hundredth round. It won't be long before we enter the Hell Road," Dugu Yan said affectionately to Gu Xuan.

Gu Xuan smiled helplessly upon hearing this, and then replied, "Yanzi, we'll probably have even fewer opportunities to participate in the Hell Slaughter Arena in the future. I've been waiting a whole week for today's session. If it weren't for the fact that those people's one-year deadline is almost up, I guess we would have had to wait even longer."

Gu Xuan estimated that it would take about a year to reach 100 wins and then attempt to break through to the Hell Road.

But now it seems that it may take even longer.

As Gu Xuan and Dugu Yan grew stronger and more famous, almost no one else was willing to sign up for the competition whenever they participated.

Because in the battle against the Asura King and the Rakshasa Queen, there is rarely any other outcome besides death.

Dugu Yan also shook her head and said, "All of this can only be left to fate; it's not something we can force."

"Let's go." Gu Xuan said, and walked with Dugu Yan towards the outside of the Hell Slaughter Arena.

When the two went out, no one dared to ambush them anymore. Everyone else kept their distance when they saw them. Now, Gu Xuan and Dugu Yanren's names were known throughout the entire Killing City. No one dared to mess with the "two villains".

Back in the courtyard, Gu Xuan and Dugu Yan were both meditating and cultivating, not wasting a single moment even here.

The killing intent gathered in the City of Slaughter did not have a significant impact on them, and the two of them had no major problems suppressing it.

In particular, Dugu Yan also absorbed a skull containing spiritual wisdom that had been condensed for 50,000 years. In addition, the two of them could rely on each other and trusted each other completely. So far, neither of them has been affected by the killing aura.

Of course, the root cause is that they haven't eaten any food from the Killing City. For the past seven months, they've been eating the food they brought themselves, so they haven't been affected.

In addition, Gu Xuan and Dugu Yan had brought many miraculous medicines with them, so their life here was quite comfortable.

However, Hu Liena was not so lucky. She had been in the City of Slaughter for more than a year and had now achieved a terrifying sixty-eight-game winning streak, but her physical condition was far inferior to that of Gu Xuan and Dugu Yan.

Gu Xuan could foresee that without anyone's help, she would basically never get out. Even if she achieved a hundred victories, she would definitely not be able to escape the Hell Road.

It wasn't that Gu Xuan was heartless and unwilling to help Hu Liena, but rather that Hu Liena's identity belonged to the Spirit Hall, and the Spirit Hall would inevitably become a major enemy of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in the future.

Helping Hu Liena now would be like raising a tiger to cause future trouble, wouldn't it? Gu Xuan was already being merciful by not killing her and taking her bones.

Now, more than seven months have passed, and Gu Xuan's soul power level has reached a terrifying level of 66 from the initial 61st level. In seven months, he has gained five levels of soul power, which means that in just over a month, Gu Xuan's soul power can be increased by one level.

Moreover, even though Gu Xuan improved so rapidly, his soul power was not weak or unstable at all; on the contrary, it was steady and solid.

Gu Xuan's rapid improvement was naturally due to the soul power he absorbed and refined in the Hell Slaughter Arena.

Dugu Yan has now reached level 66, still on par with Gu Xuan. But don't forget, Dugu Yan's soul power level was one level higher than Gu Xuan's back then.

The reason why Gu Xuan caught up with her was naturally because Gu Xuan's absorption and transformation efficiency was higher than Dugu Yan's.

Dugu Yan has just broken through to level 66, but Gu Xuan has already reached the peak of level 66.

Others, even geniuses like Hu Liena, cannot compare to Gu Xuan and Dugu Yan, because her absorption and refining efficiency is completely incomparable to theirs.

If Hu Liena disregards her own condition and forcibly absorbs and refines that soul power, her strength can indeed improve rapidly. However, in that case, she might go mad and become a madwoman who only knows how to kill!

P.S.: Typos will be corrected first and then fixed later.
