Chapter 206 Dragon's Roar Shakes the Setting Sun
In the lounge of the first team of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.
"Soul Emperor?" Tang San murmured softly, a sense of powerlessness welling up inside him. He turned to Yu Xiaogang and asked, "Teacher, is Dugu Yan really a Soul Emperor? Why was she able to cultivate so quickly?"
Upon hearing this, the original Shrek members all looked intently at Yu Xiaogang. Compared to Dugu Yan, they didn't seem like the monsters people talked about at all; instead, they seemed more like ordinary people.
They originally thought Yu Tianyun was already abnormal enough, but now it seems that Dugu Yan is no less so, and even more amazing.
Only a few members of the original Emperor Fighting Team behaved relatively normally, because they knew that four years ago, Dugu Yan had already left them far behind, so they were relatively more likely to accept the news that Dugu Yan was a Soul Emperor.
But they couldn't help feeling bitter. They were all on the same starting line, but one day the other side suddenly left them far behind. No one would feel good about that.
They also turned their attention to Yu Xiaogang, hoping to get the answer from this self-proclaimed omniscient master.
"I roughly know why." To be honest, Yu Xiaogang did have some guesses.
He had served as a librarian at the Spirit Hall for several years and had memorized many of the materials.
He could say with certainty that even someone with innate full soul power could not cultivate at the speed of Dugu Yan, unless they possessed a god-level martial soul like the Six-Winged Angel.
However, Dugu Yan's martial soul, as he had already learned from Qin Ming and others, was merely an evolution from the Azure Phosphorous Serpent into the so-called Azure Phosphorous Poison Dragon, and could not be considered a god-level martial soul at all.
Therefore, he naturally thought of the top-grade medicinal herbs that Yu Tianyun had given him.
That herb allowed him to break through his limitations and advance to the Soul Master realm. Therefore, Dugu Yan must have also consumed a similar herb, perhaps even more precious than the one he consumed, otherwise his Martial Soul wouldn't have evolved.
Then, Yu Xiaogang, looking confident, said calmly, "That Dugu Yan must have taken top-grade medicinal herbs, and perhaps all of them did too. Otherwise, they definitely wouldn't have been able to cultivate faster than your peers."
"Top-grade medicinal herbs?" Tang San was taken aback. As a herb expert, he knew this all too well.
He quickly formed his own guess, thinking to himself, "No, top-grade herbs couldn't possibly have this effect; they must have taken some kind of celestial herb!"
"So, Yu Tianyun must have consumed immortal herbs to reach level 48 at the age of fifteen? Dugu Yan, and those contestants from Lanba Academy, were all his women. That means Yu Tianyun possessed at least eight immortal herbs?"
Thinking of this, Tang San felt a surge of nameless rage. "Damn it, you wicked heavens, why are you so unfair!"
Tang San cried out in his heart.
In his view, Yu Tianyun was simply wasting a precious resource. Dugu Yan originally only possessed the advanced martial soul, the Azure Phosphorous Serpent. What right did she have to consume the immortal herb? If he were to consume the immortal herb, the effect would definitely be better, after all, he was a genius with twin martial souls, one in ten thousand!
The more Tang San thought about it, the more bitter he felt. Why did all the good things go to Yu Tianyun, while he got nothing?
Suddenly, Tang San's eyes lit up. He remembered Yu Xiaogang's sudden breakthrough to Soul Master two years ago.
Originally, Yu Xiaogang didn't mention it, and he didn't care much. He just thought it was because Yu Xiaogang had been stuck for more than ten years and was finally able to unleash his full potential.
It now seems highly likely that Yu Xiaogang also consumed the elixir of immortality.
"This is something else. He actually secretly took the immortal herb without telling me! Giving an immortal herb to a piece of trash like you is even more wasteful than giving it to Dugu Yan. He keeps saying it's for my own good, so why doesn't he give the immortal herb to me? However, Yu Tianyun already has so many immortal herbs, so it's not impossible for him to have a few more. You, Yu Xiaogang, are his uncle, so perhaps you can get a few for me?" Tang San looked intently at Yu Xiaogang, thinking to himself.
Yu Xiaogang was unaware of Tang San's inner thoughts and assumed that Tang San was simply craving the herbs. He wasn't wrong; Tang San was indeed very craving them, as were Dai Mubai, Shi Mo, Shi Mo, and others, and even Tang San himself.
He not only wanted to get one for Tang San and his students, but also wanted to get one for himself.
He learned from the Martial Soul Fusion Technique he formed with Flander and Liu Erlong that his Martial Soul was a malignant mutation of the Golden Sacred Dragon.
If he could evolve his martial soul into a golden holy dragon like Dugu Yan, then he wouldn't have to bear the reputation of being a good-for-nothing, and his Dong'er might be able to return to his side.
but……
It would be incredibly difficult to get medicinal herbs for them. He had been forced to eat the herb he had taken back then, so how could Yu Tianyun possibly give Tang San and the others any herbs?
Yu Xiaogang felt a bit of a headache, but no matter what, he wanted to try again.
"If I lower myself and beg, perhaps Tianyun will be unable to bear it and will agree?" Yu Xiaogang thought to himself.
So he said calmly, "Don't worry, Xiao San, I'll find a way to get the herbs for you."
"Thank you, teacher." Tang San was overjoyed. Given that Yu Xiaogang was Yu Tianyun's uncle, he felt there was a high chance of obtaining the immortal herb.
But Dai Mubai and the others looked at Yu Xiaogang with a strange expression. "You, Yu Xiaogang, are so generous? Using the family's resources to train us?"
They secretly prayed that their family would never produce someone like Yu Xiaogang, but they were also hoping that Yu Xiaogang could produce that kind of herb. Who doesn't like getting something for free?
Of course, they didn't have much hope either. Unless the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect was stupid, they wouldn't give Yu Xiaogang the herbs.
"Alright, don't think too much about it. Let's watch the match first. Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle," Yu Xiaogang said calmly, his gaze already turned to the arena.
"Sisters, let's finish this quickly and go home." Dugu Yan said calmly, and then her body shone with a bright green light, and emerald green rhomboid dragon scales emerged from her body.
In the blink of an eye, the light dissipated, and Dugu Yan transformed into a humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex over two and a half meters tall, with clearly defined muscles on its body. Its fierce aura pressed directly towards the Elephant Armor Academy team.
Hu Yanli's lips twitched. "No, you're a control-type Soul Master? Who has a control-type Soul Master this powerful? It looks even more violent than the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Martial Soul."
The other girls also immediately released their martial souls, each possessing at least the powerful soul power of a Soul Master, putting immense pressure on the Elephant Armor Academy team, causing them to break out in a cold sweat.
However, although they were deeply shocked, they were not dumbfounded.
The seven men shouted at the same time and threw off their clothes.
The next moment, the martial spirit possessed him, and his already enormous body grew even larger. The slightly loose fat became taut, turning into exaggerated and terrifying muscles, and his skin shimmered with a metallic sheen, like granite.
What's strange is that their noses are also elongating and growing longer, while their upper lips are turned up, and two fangs that are a foot long shoot out.
It's a perfect image of an elephant-headed man!
Of the seven, Hu Yanli and the other two in the middle all had four spirit rings, two yellow and two purple, while the four people on the sides had three spirit rings, two yellow and one purple.
The increase in size of their bodies reassured the seven members of the Elephant Armor Academy team somewhat. Hu Yanli said in a deep voice, "Brothers, form a battle formation."
Although winning was impossible, it was still necessary to put up a fight. They wanted to stall for time as much as possible so as not to lose face.
At Hu Yanli's command, the seven strong men of the Elephant Armor Academy team quickly gathered together, forming a back-to-back formation.
Immediately afterwards, their first and second spirit rings shone brightly one after another.
Like other long-established sects, the Elephant Armor Sect's first three soul ring skills are basically fixed, so their soul skills are not a secret.
The first soul skill is a defense boost, and the second soul skill is a strength boost.
Under the effect of the two soul skills, a layer of crystalline glaze appeared on the skin of the seven flesh mountains of the Elephant Armor Academy team, greatly enhancing their defense. Their bodies even grew taller once again, and their muscles swelled even more, clearly indicating that their strength had also increased significantly.
After this series of actions, the seven members of the Elephant Armor Academy team breathed a sigh of relief. They felt that they could hold out for a while, and it didn't seem like the Heavenly Dou Royal Team would be instantly killed like they were.
Dugu Yan's lips curled into a smile. Just as she was about to turn around and say something, she saw Yang Ruolin's right hand, which was holding the Soul-Breaking Spear, with bulging veins and her body trembling slightly.
"Is this girl scared?" Dugu Yan wondered.
Yang Ruolin wasn't scared; she was trembling with excitement and agitation.
In her eyes, the people of the Elephant Armor Sect were like sandbags, as durable as graphite and millstones, and there were seven of them.
She was afraid that Ye Lingling wouldn't receive timely treatment if she hit someone else, so she always held back. Just like when she hit Dai Mubai, she was afraid that she would just shoot Dai Mubai and stab him right through.
This kind of restrained fighting style made her very uncomfortable, but she didn't have this problem with Soul Masters like the Elephant Armor Sect. Where else could she find such a good sandbag?
As Dugu Yan was wondering, she heard Yang Ruolin's impatient voice: "Sister Yan, quickly give the order to attack!"
"Oh!" Dugu Yan immediately understood. "Then let's proceed with the original plan and attack directly."
"Mmm*6" the women responded in unison.
Immediately afterward, Yang Ruolin rushed forward first, followed closely by Dugu Yan. Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing also followed, but the two were faster and overtook Yang Ruolin and Dugu Yan, coming from behind to take the lead.
Their plan was simple: to deal with a team like Elephant Armor Academy, they would just fight head-on; there was no need for tactics or formations.
"Of the nine treasures, the first is strength!"
"Nine treasures have names, the third is the soul!"
The first and third spirit rings lit up, and under Ning Rongrong's left finger's pointing, eight colorful lights were released simultaneously, enveloping the four battle spirit masters, including Dugu Yan.
Originally, Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing were more suitable for speed boosts, but the Elephant Armor Academy team was not fast to begin with, and their formation was obviously intended to withstand attacks head-on. Therefore, Ning Rongrong boosted their strength and soul power to make their attack power stronger.
Ye Lingling and Ning Rongrong stood together at the back. She dragged the Nine-Heart Begonia and focused intently on looking ahead, ready to treat the other at any moment.
Bai Chenxiang stood motionless in front of Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling, seemingly doing nothing.
She didn't have much of an advantage against the seven members of the Elephant Academy team. Although her Swift Martial Soul had ice attribute, giving it some attack power, it was still somewhat ineffective against a Diamond Mammoth Martial Soul.
Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing, who are also agility-based attackers, have much stronger attack power than her, so the task of protecting the two little support characters fell on her shoulders.
As two beams of colorful light enveloped them, a warm energy surged into their limbs and bones, and the four people in the sprint immediately felt their whole bodies filled with power, and their soul power surged up as if boiling.
Their strength and soul power increased by fifty percent, and they felt a great increase in strength. The aura emanating from their bodies also became more ferocious.
Ding ding ding... The big and little cats were the first to arrive in front of the Elephant Armor Academy team, and a series of dense, crisp sounds came from the seven of them.
Hu Yanli and the others couldn't see the two figures at all; they could only feel the intense pain in their bodies and quickly protected their vital organs.
Immediately afterwards, Yang Ruolin and Dugu Yan arrived, their dark spears and cyan dragon claws also coming at them.
Hu Yanli could see the two men's attacks clearly, and it was precisely because he could see them clearly that he felt how terrifying it was. Apart from himself, probably no one else, including his teammates, could stop them.
"Clang! Clang!" Hu Yanli hurriedly revealed his head soul bone and gritted his teeth to go up. Two teeth-grinding metallic clanging sounds immediately came from the arena.
Sure enough, even with the protection of the soul bone, Hu Yanli was still injured after taking the attacks of the two. He spat out a mouthful of blood and was in great pain.
But there's nothing we can do about it; if his teammates had blocked him, he probably would have been eliminated immediately.
Of course, his teammates weren't much better off. The two kittens were quite powerful and their attacks were extremely cunning, targeting the weakest points in their defenses. Soon, his body was covered in bloodstains.
Hu Yanli also considered counterattacking, but their Elephant Armor Academy team was too cumbersome, while the opponent was too fast. If they spread out to attack, they would not only fail to hit anyone, but would also waste their soul power and be defeated even faster.
So when he saw that the other side had mobilized all its members, he decided to stick together and fight it out. Although it was tough, it would last longer.
But in this way, the battle becomes four people hitting seven sandbags, and the match ends whenever the sandbags are broken.
However, the audience did not lose interest; they loved watching beautiful women fight.
……
While Huyanli and others were being beaten.
Within the realm of ice and fire, the golden giant egg, which had been silent for over twenty days, finally stirred.
Suddenly, Dugu Bo sensed that the powerful suction force that absorbed the energy of heaven and earth seemed to be weakening.
He perked up, staring intently at the golden giant egg, anticipating Yu Tianyun's appearance.
As the primordial energy of heaven and earth gradually returned to calm, the clouds in the sky transformed into spiral shapes, encircling the valley.
The light on the golden egg gradually faded, and the energy fluctuations gradually subsided.
Before long, the golden egg completely lost its luster, as if it had become a lifeless object.
Dugu Bo's heart was in his throat. He knew that, under normal circumstances, Yu Tianyun would be coming out soon.
Finally, after a slight tremor, the golden egg suddenly shone brightly, the intense golden light blinding Dugu Bo. At the same time, a dragon's roar that resounded through the sky shook the entire Sunset Forest.
At that moment, all the spirit beasts in the entire forest froze, then hurriedly prostrated themselves on the ground, as if worshipping an emperor, and kowtowed towards the direction of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, their eyes flashing with awe.
Meanwhile, the Soul Masters in Sunset Forest were all horrified, a heavy pressure weighing on their hearts, and they all wanted to escape.
Everyone subconsciously assumed that a terrifying 100,000-year-old dragon-type soul beast must have appeared in the Sunset Forest.
A 100,000-year-old soul beast, or even a dragon-type soul beast—what does that mean?
It's probably something even a Super Douluo couldn't defeat, yet it appeared in the Sunset Forest, where the highest-level soul beasts have no more than 50,000 years of cultivation.
If these little karami are discovered, wouldn't a single swipe of their claws kill a whole bunch of them? It's best to leave quickly. (End of Chapter)
