Chapter 182: Impossible! Absolutely Impossible!
"Damn it! Even Porcupine Douluo couldn't defeat him! This Ye Wen, using the power of a Soul Saint, has already defeated two of our Spirit Hall's Title Douluos!"
"Dammit! This Porcupine is too useless!" Magic Bear Douluo fumed with anger.
Just half a year ago, he was laughing excitedly, ready to be the first to fight Ye Wen. And now? He was beaten so badly, lying on the ground with a bruised face!
This was an utter embarrassment. Porcupine Douluo was also lying on the ground, unable to lift his head in shame.
"Next, it's your turn, Ling Yuan Douluo." Ye Wen's eyes locked on the only other female Title Douluo in the room, besides Bibi Dong.
Ling Yuan's face was cold: "Heh, I'll be waiting for you."
Even though Ye Wen had already fought Snake Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo in the past six months, Ling Yuan wasn't worried in the slightest. She had already surpassed Porcupine and Snake Spear, who were not even on the same level.
She was a 94th-level Title Douluo!
Although the difference seemed to be only two levels, the power difference between Title Douluos was enormous, especially between levels 95, 96, 97, and 98.
In other words, each level represented a massive gap in strength!
At Ye Wen's current spirit power level of 77, his chances of defeating a 94th-level Title Douluo like Ling Yuan were only a bit above 50%.
Even if he could win, it would most likely be a difficult battle.
However, Ye Wen had a huge advantage in fighting Ling Yuan Douluo: he was a dual-element soul master with both water and lightning attributes, while Ling Yuan Douluo was a fire-element soul master!
"Everyone, see you again in six months, hahaha!"
With a self-satisfied laugh, Ye Wen left the Pope's Hall once more.
"Damn it, Ling Yuan, don't let your guard down! Prepare well over the next six months. When this Deep Sea Demon Whale King comes back, you absolutely cannot lose again!" Magic Bear Douluo barked at Ling Yuan.
"I understand, you don't need to teach me," Ling Yuan Douluo replied coldly. She wouldn't underestimate him, and for the next six months, she would train specifically to counter Ye Wen's displayed strength.
It was ironic that a Title Douluo had to specifically train to fight a Soul Saint, but it was true. Without special preparation, Ling Yuan Douluo didn't feel 100% confident in defeating Ye Wen.
Looking at Ye Wen's departing back, Magic Bear Douluo, Ghost Leopard Douluo, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and Ghost Douluo ground their teeth in anger.
After returning to the Lake of Life, Ye Wen continued his training for another six months.
After this period, Ye Wen's spirit power reached level 79, just one step away from the Soul Douluo realm.
Breathing in the fresh morning air, he let out a long breath, "Level 79... In less than half a year, I'll definitely break through to Soul Douluo. A 15-year-old Soul Douluo, haha, that's almost unbelievable..."
Ye Wen smiled and shook his head, thinking, "At this rate, if I continue to train like this, I'll likely break through to the Title Douluo realm before I turn 20!"
This speed was truly terrifying.
Ye Wen slowly stood up and made his way toward Spirit Hall again.
A few days later, he arrived at the Pope's Hall once more. This time, he was going to fight the 94th-level Title Douluo, Ling Yuan Douluo, whose martial soul was the fire-element Flame Spirit Eagle.
Water and fire are natural opposites—water can extinguish fire, and fire can evaporate water.
The two elements naturally counter each other, but as long as one side's elemental strength greatly outmatches the other's, the advantage would be clear.
Ye Wen's Deep Sea Demon Whale King with its water attribute, after absorbing the Eight-Spoked Ice Crystal Grass, had mastered the water-ice attribute to an extreme degree, far surpassing Ling Yuan's fire attribute energy.
Therefore, Ye Wen's battle with Ling Yuan Douluo was much easier than fighting other 94th-level Title Douluos.
With the element advantage, Ling Yuan Douluo didn't pressure Ye Wen as much. The pressure she gave him was barely more than that of Snake Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo.
After a fierce battle, Ye Wen used his sixth soul skill, Deep Sea Explosive Kill, to defeat Ling Yuan Douluo.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
"Umm…ahhh~~" Ling Yuan Douluo screamed in agony, falling hard to the ground, losing the ability to continue fighting.
"Ling Yuan Douluo has been defeated."
"That's three Title Douluos lost already!"
"Damn it! He's really going to defeat all our Title Douluos, even the elders of Spirit Hall!!"
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!!"
"As he keeps fighting, there'll only be the 95th-level elder Title Douluos left—Elder Chrysanthemum, Ghost Douluo, Magic Bear Elder, and Ghost Leopard Elder. They are all extremely strong!!"
"Exactly!! There's no way he can defeat the remaining elders!"
The onlookers from Spirit Hall were resolute in their belief.
"Damn!!"
At this moment, Ghost Douluo, Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Leopard Douluo, and Magic Bear Douluo, all 95th-level Title Douluos, were filled with fury, glaring angrily at Ye Wen as he left.
They wished they could fight him immediately, but every time Ye Wen finished a battle, he would wait six months before returning. They could only wait in frustration! If they were too forceful, Ye Wen would switch to his half-human form, and they would be completely outmatched.
On his way back, Ye Wen reflected on his battle with Ling Yuan Douluo.
He couldn't help but realize that every time he fought these Title Douluos, he gained a deeper understanding of his human form's combat abilities.
Every victory taught him a great deal, because although he won each time, the battles were always intense, requiring full focus and effort. In such a high-pressure atmosphere, his potential was fully brought out.
Not only was his soul power growing, but his ability to control and understand his human form's combat power was also improving. With each battle against a Title Douluo, he was becoming stronger!
Next time, when he went to Spirit Hall to fight a 95th-level Title Douluo, whether it was Elder Chrysanthemum, Ghost Douluo, Magic Bear, or Ghost Leopard, he wasn't sure if he had even a 50% chance to win.
However, Ye Wen was already level 79, and he was confident he could break through to level 80—Soul Douluo—within the next six months!
Once he reached Soul Douluo and acquired a set of 100,000-year spirit rings and two more soul skills, his combat power would skyrocket again!
By that time, he would have a much greater chance of defeating a 95th-level Title Douluo.
Meanwhile, Tang San, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and Ning Rongrong's five-man team had been traveling and training on their way to Sea God Island. They spent a whole year traversing dangerous lands, honing their skills.
Finally, they reached the coastal city of Hanhai City in the western part of the Heaven Dou Empire.
They planned to set sail from Hanhai City to find Sea God Island.
Hanhai City was indeed the closest city to Sea God Island.
