Douluo: Dragon King's Tai Chi Mystery

The three-legged toad stubbornly increased its output, and the cannon on its back emitted black smoke due to metal overload, but the result was still the same. The vortex not only did not dissipate, but instead expanded even more!

If the three-legged toad could talk, it would first laugh three times, then point at the sky and angrily curse: "Heaven-defying matching mechanism!"

The human's soul skills are the bane of ranged attacks!

Then, something even more terrifying happened to the three-legged golden toad: the vortex that had absorbed all its attacks actually came back to it, and what was most outrageous was that the energy contained in it was even greater than the total amount released by the three-legged golden toad!

The gold represents the cannon fire of the three-legged toad, while the black and white represent Zhao Xuanzhen's yin and yang. When these two soul skills are combined, their power will be even more terrifying than the original Metal Blast!

Those within their own group know their own situation best; the three-legged golden toad was all too aware of the destructive power of two rounds of explosive metal bombardment. With the Yin-Yang reversal descending, the three-legged golden toad instinctively felt there was no escape, as if its body would inevitably be annihilated by the Yin and Yang energies in the next instant!

A counterattack that reverses Yin and Yang, with a locking effect!

The principle behind the Yin-Yang Reversal Soul Skill is not difficult to understand; it's simply about using the opponent's strength against them and turning the tide of battle. The Yin and Yang energies absorb the enemy's ranged attacks and transform them into one's own momentum to retaliate, guaranteeing a hit.

The current power of the soul skill is the greatest since Zhao Xuanzhen obtained his second soul skill. Ninety-eight percent of the credit goes to the long-range artillery bombardment that the Three-Legged Golden Toad has been famous throughout the continent for ten thousand years!

Leveraging external forces and striking with them—the core of this strategy lies in the force being leveraged.

If it were replaced by a wind baboon, the reversal of yin and yang would cause the tank to explode. The two blobs of wind that lung fog spew out are no match for a single three-legged toad!

To counter a guaranteed hit skill, aside from the invincible intangibility, the only option is to try to minimize the damage. The three-legged toad's body immediately melted into liquid metal!

Yin and Yang reversed and exploded, the sharp aura of metal raged, the liquid formed by the three-legged toad was cut into pieces, and then the liquid reformed, transforming into a three-legged toad covered in wounds!

The three-legged golden toad was pounding its heart. Fortunately, its divine beast bloodline gave it a life-saving skill, otherwise it would have died a miserable death from its own innate soul skill!

In a two-on-two battle, the Three-Legged Golden Toad and the Zhu Qing Ice Toad were almost simultaneously severely injured. Knowing that humans would not show mercy, the soul beasts were filled with a fierce determination to fight back!

The three-legged golden toad charged toward the Zhu Qingbing toad. The two toads merged like two pools of liquid, fusing into a gigantic crimson-gold toad, a mixture of the three-legged golden toad's metal and the Zhu Qingbing toad's deadly poison. Its pair of black beast eyes resembled a pitch-black abyss!

"A Soul Beast version of a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, this is the first time I've seen one!" Na'er flashed to Zhao Xuanzhen's side.

“There are clues to this. Ten thousand years ago, two Soul Masters possessed this skill. If humans can do it, Soul Beasts can naturally do it too,” Zhao Xuanzhen said.

Soul beasts not only possess fusion skills, but there are even trinity fusion skills, and the fusion of the three-legged golden toad and the Zhu Qing ice toad has precedents!

"I'll leave the remote control to you!"

The Silver Dragon Spear transformed into a stream of light and returned to Na'er's body. The silver scales on her body receded like a tide, and Na'er safely hid behind Zhao Xuanzhen. The gap between the two thousand-year-old soul beasts and Zhao Xuanzhen was so great that it could not be made up by a single martial soul fusion technique.

"it is good."

Zhao Xuanzhen smiled faintly, not caring about Na'er's slacking off.

The second spirit ring lit up, and the deep purple spirit ring expanded outward, once again enveloping the vortex of Yin and Yang reversal!

The Crimson Gold Toad opened its massive jaws, and a ball of incandescent light brewed deep within its throat, filled with the cold hardness of metal and the sinister aura of ice, fire, and poison. A near-twisted and hysterical madness erupted!

Human, let's see if you can bounce back this time!

"Everything goes to extremes!"

Zhao Xuanzhen pushed his palms out, and the vortex of Yin and Yang energies rippled. Visible waves enveloped the light layer by layer, and the power of the Martial Soul Fusion Technique spun rapidly in the vortex!

After withdrawing his palm, the martial soul fusion skill called "Red Dust Yearning" from ten thousand years ago unleashed an even stronger light, heading straight for the Crimson Gold Toad with a magnificent tail flame!

"boom!!!"

A terrifying explosion rang out, as brilliant and dazzling as a lotus in full bloom. In the desperate eyes of the Crimson Golden Toad, Yin and Yang reversed and reflected, destroying all life within its range.

Energy feedback, seven hundred years!

The last piece of the puzzle is complete, with black overlaying purple!

Ascension to Spirit Realm, Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring!

Two jet-black, ten-thousand-year-old soul rings floated up and down, and Zhao Xuanzhen's aura surged accordingly.

Relying on his absolute physical strength, Zhao Xuanzhen was already able to withstand two ten-thousand-year soul rings, and his spiritual power had broken through to the Spirit Sea Realm a year and a half ago, enough to support a ten-thousand-year soul spirit!

Na'er's physical and mental abilities far surpass those of other Soul Masters of the same level, but the physical enhancement provided by the Silver Dragon Spear and her True Self is not on the same level. Her Soul Rings have reached their limit and she cannot withstand two ten-thousand-year Soul Rings for the time being. Today, she is accompanying Zhao Xuanzhen to complete her Spirit Ascension.

Pressing the signal device, the two separated from the intermediate spirit ascension platform.

Awakening from the metal cabinet, the sound of high heels clicking on the floor echoed clearly in the quiet underground space. A slender, graceful figure approached the two, speaking softly:

"Xuanzhen, is there anything wrong with your body?"

Zhao Xuanzhen stood up, looked at the beautiful figure, and replied with a smile, "Everything is as before, teacher."

Leng Yaozhu breathed a sigh of relief. She cherished this only direct disciple too much. She originally hoped that he would wait a while before ascending to the Spirit Realm, but she couldn't persuade Zhao Xuanzhen otherwise.

"Don't worry, Aunt Leng, I'm watching him!" Na'er said with a smile.

Leng Yaozhu poked Na'er's head helplessly and said, "It's been three months since we tested your physical data. Let me see how you've changed recently. Xuanzhen, you go first."

A helmet landed on Zhao Xuanzhen's head, and he held a blue crystal ball in his hand.

On the white soul-guided screen, the mental energy value kept fluctuating, and the crystal ball, whose limit was level 30, shone brightly, just a tiny, almost imperceptible glimmer of light away from illuminating the screen.

“Peak of level 29.” Leng Yaozhu nodded.

“There were signs of a breakthrough in soul power last night. He will break through to Soul Venerable in two or three days at most,” Zhao Xuanzhen said.

In four years, he grew from level 13 to level 29. If we calculate based on level 30, and then subtract the level 1 soul power provided by the second soul ring, the average is exactly four levels per year.

Compared to Xu Xiaoyan and Xie Xie, who were both born with full soul power, Zhao Xuanzhen's cultivation speed was like walking on high speed.

"Drip drip!"

Mental strength has stagnated.

Six hundred and sixty-six, six times six brings good fortune.

The Spirit Sea Realm, 500-5000, is a vast and boundless sea of ​​spiritual power. When one's spiritual power truly reaches a high level, one can fuse five yellow soul spirits, or three purple soul spirits and one black soul spirit.

With the complete guidance of Han Tianyi, the Innate Spiritual Realm expert and the Illusionary Brain Douluo, and the training he received three times a week in the Real Illusionary Realm, Zhao Xuanzhen's spiritual power far surpassed that of his peers.

A moment later, Na'er's data came out: Level 27 Great Soul Master, Spiritual Power 520, Spirit Sea Realm!

"520, the perfect number!"

Na'er laughed heartily as she looked at the mental strength value, while Zhao Xuanzhen helplessly covered his face.

Oh no, the first signs of being love-struck are appearing!

"Indeed, your soul power cultivation is already among the best of your generation, and your spiritual sea realm mental power has also reached the minimum standard for a titled Douluo. You are still young, and your future achievements are limitless."

Leng Yaozhu encouraged the two with a look of satisfaction, then turned her gaze to Na'er and said:

"The Phantom Brain sent a soul-guided communication message, asking you to come find him. It seems to be about some kind of mecha repair exam?"

Upon hearing this, Na'er's upturned lips instantly vanished, and she glared angrily at Zhao Xuanzhen, saying, "You're not human, you even dragged me into this!"

Last night, the "Phantom Brain Douluo" team conducted a mecha repair assessment. Adhering to the principle of combining theory with practice, the assessment was divided into two parts: a written test and a hands-on operation.

The last big question on the exam was a bit too advanced, involving knowledge of repairing three-word battle armor. The day before the exam, Han Tianyi gave the two of them a manual on how to repair a mecha, with the exact answers written in the manual.

Zhao Xuanzhen felt that Han Tianyi wouldn't speak without reason, so he suggested that Na'er read it briefly. Na'er obviously didn't take it seriously, and as a result, she was tortured in the real illusion and was chased all over the place by the Snake Queen Medusa.

"Ugh……"

Na'er sighed deeply, feeling a pang of sadness at having such a young age yet already feeling so old.

"Go quickly, Medusa is getting impatient." Zhao Xuanzhen patted her shoulder, openly stabbing her in the back, "Remember to memorize the answers next time."

Na'er said indignantly, "What's the difference between memorizing the answers and cheating? Do you dare to have a fair and square competition?"

Having said that, she wore a pained expression and took a solemn step to meet Medusa's gaze.

After Na'er left, Leng Yaozhu turned to Zhao Xuanzhen and said, "Since the Illusion Brain is testing mecha repair, I should also test your mecha design and manufacturing skills."

"No problem, teacher." Zhao Xuanzhen readily agreed.

The master and apprentice arrived at the deputy tower master's private battle armor room. Leng Yaozhu gently tapped the metal table, and the time display appeared, starting the countdown.

"Xuanzhen, within two hours, create a soul tool with the maximum power."

Zhao Xuanzhen nodded. After four years of study, this was not the first time he had been subject to a timed assessment. His eyes swept over the dozens of metals on the table, and he immediately made a decision, picking up a piece of silvery-white metal.

Rare metal, immersion silver.

Soul tools are different from battle armor/mechs; they do not require particularly rigorous forging, especially low- to mid-level soul tools below level seven, which can be tempered.

After quickly completing the preliminary work, the cube of sapphire transformed into small pieces of metal. Zhao Xuanzhen held the sapphire in his left hand and a blue carving knife in his right.

The engraving knife is a key tool for Soul Masters to inscribe core magic arrays. This engraving knife is as clear as crystal, with a deep blue handle that gradually fades as the blade extends until the sharp tip becomes transparent.

After a brief observation of the sunken silver, Zhao Xuanzhen began to carve with incredible speed, never pausing once a cut was made. To Leng Yaozhu, who was watching from the sidelines, the carving knife between Zhao Xuanzhen's fingers was constantly turning, like a dancing ice flower.

“A rudimentary style…” Leng Yaozhu thought to herself.

Soul Masters inscribe core magic arrays on rare metals, and Mech Builders similarly inscribe core magic arrays that amplify martial souls on forged metals; the two are essentially the same.

To break through to level seven or even higher, mecha manufacturers must develop their own unique style. As a level eight mecha manufacturer, Leng Yaozhu could clearly see that Zhao Xuanzhen was currently in the process of exploring his style, but it was gradually taking shape, marking the inevitable path to becoming a high-level mecha manufacturer.

Time passed slowly, and the surface of the silver was etched with dense, intricate patterns. Leng Yao frowned slightly, puzzled, and said, "Charging, charging, charging, charging, explosion, explosion..."

While the soul power conductivity of heavy silver is undoubtedly superior, and its texture is harder than that of ordinary rare metals, it simply cannot withstand the load of four soul power accumulations. Are you going to make a disposable soul tool?

Leng Yaozhu did not deliberately lower her voice, while Zhao Xuanzhen had no intention of answering his teacher's questions. He was oblivious to everything else and focused solely on making the soul tool, with fine powder of sapphire falling down.

"Another acceleration array has been set up; it seems to be a one-time explosive type." Leng Yaozhu suddenly realized.

"Teacher, you're not deliberately interfering with me, are you?" Zhao Xuanzhen couldn't help but ask.

The soul of a soul tool is its core magic array. The production process cannot tolerate the slightest mistake. A slight error can lead to disastrous consequences. Leng Yaozhu's voice rang out from time to time, and he seriously suspected that the other party had done this intentionally!

"Competency assessments should always include challenges."

Leng Yaozhu smiled slyly and admitted without hesitation, "I am one of the challenges you face."

Friendly reminder: There is a reward for passing the assessment.

"Could you give me more details?"

Leng Yaozhu smiled and said, "For the past four years, you and Na'er have been cultivating in the Spirit Pagoda, rarely going out and only resting for half a day each week. Tomorrow I will take you on a trip to appreciate the beautiful natural scenery and relax."

"That's very tempting."

Zhao Xuanzhen remained steady and asked curiously, "Which city does Teacher plan to go to?"

Heavenly Dou City, Star Luo City, Spirit Dou City, Dragon City?

Leng Yaozhu smiled and said, "I guessed none of them right."

Donghai City is one of the cities where the eighteen pillars of the Spirit Pagoda are located.

Donghai City, as a coastal city, boasts abundant tourism resources and is the origin of many seafood products in the Federation. You two can enjoy the sun and seafood, while I take the opportunity to scout out a genius, and then we can all take a short vacation together.”

"Testing geniuses?"

A strange glint flashed in Zhao Xuanzhen's eyes, but he said calmly, "What kind of genius is worth the teacher's personal intervention?"

Leng Yaozhu smiled and said, "Gu Yue, a first-year student at Donghai Academy, about the same age as you, and a very talented girl."

As Zhao Xuanzhen predicted, the genius who attracted Leng Yaozhu to Donghai City was Gu Yue!

Gu Yue's appearance in Donghai City indicates that she has found Tang Wulin and is eyeing the Golden Dragon King Divine Core within him!

Unaware of Zhao Xuanzhen's true thoughts, Leng Yaozhu continued, "Gu Yue's martial soul is called Elementalist, and it is unique, just like your True Self and Na'er's Silver Dragon Spear."

Elements are a powerful ability; a single elemental martial soul is enough to make major forces vie to extend olive branches. Elementalists not only control multiple elements but can also combine them!

The master of the Spirit Transmission Tower in Donghai City is my former subordinate. According to him, Gu Yue demonstrated the six elements—earth, water, wind, fire, light, and space—at the primary Spirit Ascension Platform and strongly urged me to recruit her. She also expressed her willingness to join the Spirit Transmission Tower.

"Am I going to have another junior sister?"

"No, never."

Leng Yaozhu's tone was very serious: "If it weren't for you, I might have taken Gu Yue as my disciple, but now you are my only disciple."

This trip to Donghai City was indeed to recruit Gu Yue into the Spirit Pagoda, granting her the status of a core disciple, and more importantly, to bring her into the Phoenix Clan faction, placing her on our side. After all, the Spirit Pagoda is filled with numerous clans, none of whom are of one mind.

Now that the main branch of the Leng family has dwindled in number, Xiao Ling comes from the collateral Ling Feng lineage. You are her son and my direct disciple, so you must take over my position.

Na'er, Gu Yue, and even Da Bai and Xiao Bai are all indispensable helpers to you.

By the way, Gu Yue has a hidden force behind her. Her mother once discussed joining the Spirit Pagoda with the East Sea Tower Master, hoping that Gu Yue would skip the branch training and go directly to the headquarters.

The person who called himself the Title Purple Dragon was considered by the East Sea Tower Master to be at least a Super Douluo, indicating that Gu Yue had an extraordinary background.

Gu Yue has a mother? Purple Dragon Douluo?
