Douluo: Dragon King's Tai Chi Mystery

Pitch black, pitch black!

Two black sun-like ten-thousand-year spirit rings suddenly appeared, seemingly devouring all light. Mu Xi and the other two were stunned. Ten-thousand-year spirit rings!

"run!"

Mu Xi's thoughts immediately vanished as Yao Yang unleashed a wall of fire.

The last boy received the signal and quickly released his martial spirit. A pair of giant wings grew from his back, and countless iron-black feathers came together, carrying his two companions into the air!

The Martial Soul is the Giant Winged Griffin, with the first Soul Skill being Charge and the second Soul Skill being Wind Protection!

The moment Zhao Xuanzhen's martial soul possessed him, the three of them immediately realized that they had run into a brick wall today. Two ten-thousand-year soul rings plus the spiritual power of the Spirit Sea Realm, and a monster they had never heard of before!

"Luckily we can fly..." the Fear Dragon Soul Master said with lingering fear, "Sister Mu Xi, let's just honestly hunt soul beasts, we might just run into another monster..."

“You’re right, but…” Mu Xi’s face turned grim, “this pervert down there doesn’t seem to be letting us go!”

The Fear Demon Dragon Soul Venerable looked down and saw two figures speeding through the forest at almost the same speed as the giant griffin. The black and white Tai Chi diagram had somehow passed through the dense bushes and was hurtling towards the giant griffin!

The breathtaking scenery is breathtaking!

"what--"

The Giant Winged Griffin Soul Venerable let out a miserable cry as its wings were severely damaged by the Yin and Yang energies, causing it to lose its ability to fly and plummet to the ground!

A wave of dizziness washed over them. Mu Xi and the other two shook their heads, their bodies aching terribly. Fortunately, the trees cushioned their fall, preventing them from being teleported away by the Spirit Ascension Platform.

"Mu Xi?"

Mu Xi paused for two and a half seconds, then turned to look at the source of the sound. There were many people around, all of them students from various grades of Donghai Academy.

Donghai Academy is the premier Soul Master Academy in Donghai City, attracting many descendants of Donghai City's high-ranking officials for training. During the riots, the Spirit Ascension Platform is held twice a year, and the forces behind those students all vie for Spirit Ascension slots. They happen to come together at the Spirit Ascension Platform, and since there is at least some basic trust among classmates, they decide to team up to increase their hunting success rate.

The leader was a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, with a soul power level of thirty-five, two yellow and one purple soul rings, and he held a long-handled staff that was pure white, with a blue crystal embedded at the top.

Behind the young man was a little girl, holding the same ice staff, with a lone yellow spirit ring, her light blue hair styled into cute twin ponytails, and her lively and delicate face curiously observing the three people who had descended from the sky.

"Senior Xu Xiaoyu!"

Mu Xi recognized the young man and was pleasantly surprised.

"What's going on?" Xu Xiaoyu frowned.

Mu Xi smiled wryly and said, "I guess we brought this on ourselves. We found out that two young Soul Masters had killed three hundred-year-old Iron-Armed Apes, and we thought we could take advantage of the situation."

As it turned out, one of them possessed two ten-thousand-year soul rings and Spirit Sea Realm spiritual power. We turned and ran, but were then knocked down by that guy's soul skill. They should be catching up soon.

Ten-thousand-year soul ring, spiritual power at the Spirit Sea Realm!

Like two bolts of lightning striking the top of the heads of the East China Sea students, Xu Xiaoyu and the little girl with pigtails were also extremely shocked. Mu Xi did not pick on the weak, but instead chose a level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon!

"Sister Mu Xi, putting aside the facts, are they completely innocent?!" someone shouted.

"Yes, even if we take a step back, everyone has their faults, so why force each other!"

"Brothers, we'll fight back for you!"

The crowd was indignant, but at its core, it was all about human relationships and social dynamics. Mu Xi was a genius blacksmith, and her father was Mu Chen, an eighth-level Saint Craftsman. At this moment, currying favor with Mu Xi was tantamount to providing timely help, which would benefit both themselves and their families in the future!

"So what if he has two ten-thousand-year spirit rings? His spirit power is at most level twenty-nine. I don't believe he can beat us all up!"

A burly man pounded his chest: "Brother Xiaoyu, I'm a defensive-type Soul Master, I'll be the first one up!"

Xu Xiaoyu nodded silently. The Xu family was one of the most prominent families in Donghai City, and his father, the chief financial officer, had long ago told him to maintain a good relationship with Mu Xi. He was about to graduate, and getting involved with the sage craftsman Mu Chen would be entirely beneficial.

The students of Donghai Academy quickly formed ranks, ready to face the arrival of the BOSS.

A moment later, Zhao Xuanzhen and Na'er walked through the woods. When they saw the two people's faces, everyone's eyes twitched involuntarily. Their first impression was that they were two people as clean as the morning sunlight, unlike the monster Mu Xi had described.

"So you've teamed up?" Zhao Xuanzhen said casually.

"In that case, let's clear the area."

"Hehehe, just what I wanted!"

Na'er exudes the aura of a villainous demon king.

"Avenge Sister Mu Xi!"

The burly man charged out of the group first, raising a giant earthen-yellow shield in each hand, his two yellow and one purple soul rings lighting up one after another!

Advanced defensive martial soul, Giant Rock Shield!

First Soul Skill: Hardening; Second Soul Skill: Expansion; Third Soul Skill: Rock Power!

Solid as a rock, indestructible!

"Brothers, charge! I'll hold them off!"

……

"Wu Lin, there are many Soul Masters fighting ahead."

The five-person team cautiously moved forward, with black eagles circling overhead. Suddenly, one of them spoke.

"Go and take a look, but be vigilant."

Captain Tang Wulin made a decision, and the five of them headed towards the source of the battle. Something was very strange: the rear and middle of the group always maintained an excessively long distance, and the black-haired girl responsible for bringing up the rear had a cold expression.

They cautiously made their way to the battlefield and witnessed the entire battle.

A group of people surrounded the two. The burly man wielding two giant shields charged at the boy with black and white hair. The latter's response was simple and decisive: he used black and white energy to circulate around his elbows and spun around to strike!

"Run, guys! I got elbowed and sent flying!"

The giant rock shield collapsed, and the burly man was sent flying backward, shouting for retreat. A huge crater appeared in his chest, and he was forced to leave the Ascension Platform on the spot!

The boy retracted his elbow, and two other offensive-type Soul Masters rushed in from the left and right. He didn't even activate his terrifying ten-thousand-year Soul Ring before facing them head-on.

Punches, palms, elbows, and leans—each strike produced a deafening sound as it blasted through the air. Every move aimed directly at vital points, causing the victim to be thrown backward as if hit by a truck, pinned to the ground and unable to move.

Tang Wulin looked down at the crowd below, who had gone from being surrounded to fleeing for their lives. He then saw his familiar senior sister, Mu Xi. She and the man with the ice staff were releasing fireballs and frost together, trying to stop the boy's advance. However, before they could touch him, they were caught in the black and white vortex, and the doubled power chased them away, making them run for their lives.

Zhao Xuanzhen unleashed a Yin-Yang Reversal, countering the Radiant Sun Fire and the Ice Staff Ring. The human wave tactic was a clumsy acrobatic feat against him; every attack brought down an opponent, the sound of their bodies hitting the ground as dull as a heavy hammer.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, he looked in a certain direction and saw a group of somewhat dazed faces.

"He found us."

The black-haired girl, who was detached from the group, said quietly.

The remaining four looked at each other, and the handsome young man, gripping the golden dagger in reverse, said sadly:

"Wu Lin, we're probably in trouble with our final exams..."

Tang Wulin nodded in deep agreement, while Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi covered their faces in pain.

In the qualifying round, we're facing off against Totendai! Maru-la!

Chapter 16 Golden Dragon Claw and Dark Eagle Dragon, God King's Surprise Attack, Serpent of Deception (4K)

"Boom, boom, boom——"

During the riot, booming sounds echoed throughout the Spirit Ascension Platform. The students of Donghai Academy fled in disarray, pursued relentlessly by the Yin-Yang vortex, which was a mixture of fire and frost. No matter how they turned or dodged, the Yin-Yang vortex seemed to have eyes, relentlessly chasing after them.

"Absorbs and reflects ranged attacks twice, with a lock-on effect."

"A ten-thousand-year-old soul skill is terrifyingly powerful..."

Sweat streamed down her forehead as Xu Xiaoyu panted heavily.

That monstrous soul skill was a nightmare for ranged attackers, and coincidentally, the two main damage dealers from the East Sea Academy were primarily skilled in ranged attacks. The enemy used Radiant Sun and Ice Staff against them, turning them into weapons for reaping kills on their own team!

Watching her classmates leave the Spirit Ascension Platform one by one, Mu Xi bit her red lips deeply and thought to herself, "How could such a monster appear in Donghai City? Isn't this a specialty of Shrek City and Mingdu?!"

At this moment, the girl felt immense regret for her greed, which caused her classmates to miss the rare opportunity to ascend to the Spirit Platform during the riot period. Little did she know that those who were eliminated were all overjoyed after waking up, celebrating that they had left a good impression on the daughter of the Holy Craftsman and the genius blacksmith.

They were all three-ring Soul Masters. Who among them hadn't died several times while venturing into the Spirit Ascension Platform? The first time was difficult and painful, but they got used to it after a few more times.

The metals used to create battle armor/mechs depend on advanced blacksmiths. Today, dying for Mu Xi at the Spirit Ascension Platform during the riot period is equivalent to forming a bond. In the future, as long as Mu Xi is there, the Holy Craftsman Mu Chen will definitely prioritize helping them forge!

"Mu Xi, let's give it another shot! There must be a limit to how much a rebounding soul skill can withstand. If we break through that limit, we can turn the tide!" Xu Xiaoyu said urgently.

"it is good!"

Mu Xi nodded emphatically. Her thousand-year soul ring shone brightly, and the blazing sun above her head burst forth with intense radiance. A scorching sun frantically absorbed the surrounding fire elements, just like an extremely unstable high-explosive bomb!

Third Soul Skill: Radiant Sunfall!

"Xiao Yan, stay away from me!"

Xu Xiaoyu told her sister to run quickly, so that if they failed to challenge the BOSS, the reversed soul skill would not affect Xu Xiaoyan!

Xu Xiaoyan obediently took off running, her two light blue ponytails bouncing with each step. Seeing this, Xu Xiaoyu silently breathed a sigh of relief, raised her ice staff high, and a burst of blue light erupted from the crystal at the top. A rich and pure ice attribute swept through the forest, and a spear condensed into shape, its magic runes faintly shimmering.

Third Soul Skill: Fury of Ice!

Thanks to the two ranged attack Soul Masters, Zhao Xuanzhen easily dealt with most of the East Sea students, leaving only a few big and small ones. It was time to discard them after they had served their purpose!

The jet-black second spirit ring shone brightly, and the Yin-Yang Reversal that had previously driven the two to despair descended once more, a black and white vortex enveloping their bodies. In the Douluo Continent, there are no invincible spirit skills; the Yin-Yang Reversal certainly has an absorption limit. However, how could the third spirit skill of two mere Spirit Masters possibly break through it!

Absorb, swirl, fold!

Four-colored energy clouds—black, white, red, and blue—locked onto the two of them. Mu Xi and Xu Xiaoyu stared in disbelief as their second-strengthened soul skills returned. After a violent explosion, their journey to the Spirit Ascension Platform came to an end.

"Sister Mu Xi, Brother Xiao Yu!"

Besides Xu Xiaoyu's little accessory, Xu Xiaoyan, the East Sea students also had one last Lightning Falcon Soul Master. Initially, they intended to use their flight ability to gain an air-to-ground advantage, but they couldn't find Zhao Xuanzhen's weakness and were waiting for an opportunity to ambush him. While waiting, their entire team was suddenly wiped out!

"I can't let them get too arrogant, I have to think of a way..."

Lightning Falcon Soul Master gritted his teeth, his gaze slowly shifting to the leisurely Na'er. He had already lost the courage to fight Zhao Xuanzhen. After all, even a defensive martial soul as thick as the Rock Giant Shield could be broken through by a charged elbow strike. Wouldn't Lightning Falcon's defense be nothing more than easy prey?

"You're strong, but you can't protect her!"

With a roar to the sky, the third soul ring shone brightly. The Lightning Falcon Soul Master was enveloped in blue-purple lightning, and the crackling sound seemed to foreshadow the powerful force of this attack. With a flap of its wings, it fell towards Na'er like a rapidly falling lightning bolt!

Zhao Xuanzhen saw the Lightning Falcon's desperate attack and didn't even bother to pay attention to it. Someone really treats the Silver Dragon King's half-body as a vase!

Na'er slightly raised her head, her silver eyes fixed on the falling lightning, a half-smile on her face.

The next second, a burst of silver light erupted, and a sharp spear covered with dragon scales stood between Na'er and the Lightning Falcon Soul Master. Two thousand-year soul rings swirled up and down, and the magnificent purple color added a touch of nobility to the spear.

Na'er picked up the Silver Dragon Spear, turned halfway, and with a standard spear-throwing motion, the dragon's roar was clear and stirring, and the intense silver light expanded outward. The Silver Dragon Spear shot through the air and shattered the Lightning Falcon!

"what???"

Tang Wulin and the others were immediately drenched in sweat. Na'er looked exceptionally beautiful; she was definitely a supermodel!

If we don't take down these two monsters, how are we supposed to play?!

The senior students from the East China Sea were wiped out. Xu Xiaoyan hid behind a tree, trembling with fear, her eyes tightly closed, silently praying that no one could see her!

"Cough cough!"

Na'er stood next to the twin-tailed girl who was burying her head in the sand, and tapped the ground with her silver dragon spear.

Xu Xiaoyan peeked open her eyes a crack and, upon seeing it was the Second Great Demon King, immediately crouched down, covering her head, and stammered:

"You hit my brother, so you can't hit me!"

"It's easy."

Na'er smiled and twirled her silver dragon spear in a beautiful silver flourish.

"and many more!"

Xu Xiaoyan jumped up, looking tragic: "I'm afraid of pain, don't move, I'll do it myself!"

With no room for maneuver, Xu Xiaoyan stopped struggling, reached out and slapped the rescue signal device, and voluntarily left the primary spirit ascension platform!

"The area has been cleared; it's time to get down to business."

Zhao Xuanzhen and Na'er slowly walked towards the five members of Class Zero who were watching the battle from a distance. Their four spirit rings, one black and one purple, complemented each other, and their aura was as deep and as imposing as a mountain, causing Class Zero to unconsciously retreat.

"Gudu..."

Zhang Yangzi swallowed hard. The black eagle spirit on his shoulder sensed its master's fear and let out a series of shrieks. The monster had taken care of many of the East China Sea seniors, and it seemed that it was their turn next!

"Wu Lin, what do we do?" Wang Jinxi looked to Tang Wu Lin for help.

"Prepare for battle, we can't outrun them..." Tang Wulin said in a deep voice.

Xie Xie gripped the Light and Shadow Dragon Dagger tightly with both hands, his expression the most relaxed, and said, "Don't be nervous. Anyway, we've already finished Teacher Wu's final exam and stayed long enough at the Spirit Ascension Platform during the riot period."

Moreover, the venomous spider silk of that human-faced demon spider killed so many soul beasts, and each of us absorbed a large amount of spiritual power, increasing the age of our soul rings by hundreds of years.
