Xuanzi watched as Wang Chen used a secret technique, his soul power fluctuations soaring directly to the level of level 98. His enormous bull eyes bulged round.
He immediately roared in anger, "This is... the Clear Sky Sect's ring explosion secret technique. Little beast, where did you learn it from?!"
Xuanzi knew very well that ring explosion was the Clear Sky Sect's highest secret art. Except for the sect master's lineage, no one else, not even the elders of the Clear Sky Sect, was qualified to learn it.
In the past, ancestors from his Shrek Academy had visited to request borrowing the Clear Sky Sect's ring explosion secret art in exchange for treasures, but they were ruthlessly refused. In the end, after paying a considerable price, they only obtained the theoretical method.
And Wang Chen's martial soul was not the Clear Sky Hammer, so he definitely wasn't a direct disciple of the Clear Sky Sect. Moreover, the Clear Sky Sect had always rejected soul tools; not only did they not have them, but even if they did, they wouldn't equip so many level 9 soul tools on their body.
Therefore, Xuanzi naturally wouldn't recognize Wang Chen as a disciple of the Clear Sky Sect; he was just puzzled about where Wang Chen had learned the ring explosion from.
Wang Chen ignored Xuanzi. Previously, because his cultivation was too weak, only at the ordinary Title Douluo level, and with his soul power less than ten percent remaining, he couldn't break Xuanzi's defense at all.
But after exploding the million-year soul ring, he had temporarily elevated to the level of level 98.
Except for his physique, in other aspects, he was no inferior to Xuanzi, and even surpassed him in mental power.
Xuanzi's mental power had only reached the peak of tangible and intangible, not even comparable to his.
Wang Chen gripped the God-Suppressing Spear tightly, tangible and substantial realm mental power surging out, quickly controlling the terrifying energy from the cracked million-year soul ring.
Fortunately, Wang Chen had only opened a small crack in the million-year soul ring, so the energy in the soul ring wouldn't erupt all at once and burst his body, but instead flow out steadily and gradually.
However, even if it was gradual, it still caused Wang Chen's meridians to be damaged, his internal organs and limbs all impacted with not light injuries.
But Wang Chen's eyes were extremely cold, as if the injured person wasn't him, directly ignoring the pain transmitted from his body.
The injury didn't affect Wang Chen's spear speed. For others, this level of injury was already extremely serious; if not treated, it could be fatal.
But for Wang Chen, who possessed the Metal of Living Beings, as long as he didn't die, no matter how severe the injury, he didn't need to fear it, as he could recover eventually anyway.
Just do it and be done; if he didn't beat this old thing Xuanzi to death or cripple him, then once the duration of the ring explosion and spatial imprisonment ended, what awaited Wang Chen was death.
With a thought, Wang Chen's majestic energy fused with tangible and substantial realm mental intent, turning into a powerful combat technique, injecting from Wang Chen's body into the golden God-Suppressing Spear.
Immediately after, heaven and earth essence from all directions continuously gathered under the effect of the spirit domain, making the God-Suppressing Spear's power even more terrifying.
The God-Suppressing Spear, amplified by Wang Chen's million-year seventh soul skill to peak level 9, although it had no attack skills, was extremely sharp, the sharpest weapon in the world besides divine artifacts.
In an instant, Wang Chen thrust with one spear, his lustrous skin and muscles torn by the powerful energy, blood flowing out along the cracked skin.
In the moment the blood flowed out, the first three soul rings and the fifth and sixth soul rings on Wang Chen lit up together.
Sixth soul skill, Burn! Effect: Burn qi and blood, amplify attack.
Fifth soul skill, Soul! Mentally lock onto the enemy, attack must hit, and attach mental attack to the strike, causing damage to the enemy's spirit. The greater the mental power gap between both sides, the more severe the mental damage.
Under a large amount of mental power and multiple amplifications and enhancements, even a level 98 peak powerhouse would have to treat Wang Chen's spear seriously.
"Boom!!"
Sharp spear radiance erupted from the spear tip.
Under Wang Chen's tangible and substantial mental power control, the spear radiance was compressed to only one meter long and one centimeter wide, its power extremely condensed.
The terrifying might caused a deep black ravine to appear in space, unable to subside for a long time.
It shot toward Xuanzi's Taotie Divine Bull form like lightning.
Facing Wang Chen's attack, the spatially imprisoned Xuanzi felt an intense sense of crisis, as if his life was under great threat.
Xuanzi's bull eyes turned red as if about to drip blood, glaring fixedly at Wang Chen as he said, "Little beast, dreaming of killing this old man!"
Xuanzi said this with his mouth, but his actions were not ambiguous.
Previously, although Wang Chen's weapon was strong and the spatial imprisonment was strong, his cultivation was too weak. He could stand still and let Wang Chen attack without breaking his martial soul true body.
Now that Wang Chen had used ring explosion and raised his cultivation to the same level as him, this was no joke; an attack from a peer-level powerhouse absolutely had the ability to threaten his life.
If he weren't spatially imprisoned, he could weaken the enemy's attack through clashing attacks and dodging, then finally defend against it.
But now, because he was spatially imprisoned and his body couldn't move, he was a sitting duck, only able to passively defend and hard-resist.
Xuanzi immediately used one soul ring and soul bone defense skill after another, and used earth attribute origin power to greatly enhance the power of the defense soul skills.
Although earth attribute origin power seemed ordinary, it was quite formidable in defense.
The Taotie Divine Bull form of Xuanzi gained layer upon layer of thick earthy yellow defenses.
Accompanied by a loud bang, Wang Chen's spear radiance collided with Xuanzi's earthy yellow defense barrier.
Xuanzi's earthy yellow defense barriers on his bull body shattered layer by layer, and Wang Chen's spear radiance power was also weakened a lot, less than twenty percent of its full power.
But the mental attack mixed in Wang Chen's spear radiance heavily bombarded Xuanzi's Taotie Divine Bull form.
Tangible and substantial realm mental power was not something tangible and intangible realm could compare to; at tangible and substantial realm, mental power substantiates, its power far surpassing tangible and intangible.
Even after being filtered by the martial soul true body, Xuanzi suffered not light mental damage. For a moment, Xuanzi only felt his head splitting with pain, his brain buzzing, his spiritual sea shaking, and Xuanzi unavoidably paused for a moment.
Opportunity!
Taking advantage of Xuanzi's mental injury, Wang Chen decisively seized the chance, mobilizing the energy from the million-year golden soul ring, and launched another offensive at the fastest speed.
The energy in the million-year golden soul ring was so abundant that it could temporarily elevate Wang Chen's cultivation to Limit Douluo level.
Because of his body's endurance limit, Wang Chen chose a steady flow, which allowed him to sustain multiple level 98 attacks.
Accompanied by blood splashing again, sharp spear radiance emerged once more. When Xuanzi recovered from the mental shock, the spear radiance was already close at hand; he had no time to deploy enough defense measures.
The spear radiance broke through like bamboo, ruthlessly piercing into the Taotie Divine Bull's chest, directly blasting a over ten-meter large and over ten-meter deep huge wound in the Taotie Divine Bull's body.
The combat techniques and mental attacks carried in the spear radiance rampaged wildly, eroding Xuanzi's martial soul true body and spiritual sea.
Wang Chen's attacks didn't pause at all; large mouthfuls of blood sprayed from his mouth, and spear radiance was released again.
Another sharp spear radiance; the Taotie Divine Bull's enormous bull eye was directly pierced through, and even the crown of its head was directly blasted open by Wang Chen's powerful attack.
Suffering such severe strikes, Xuanzi's martial soul true body was directly broken.
One must know, martial soul true body provided enormous enhancements to soul masters, greatly boosting attributes like strength, speed, and defense in all aspects.
Without the martial soul true body, Xuanzi's strength was directly halved; wanting to continue resisting Wang Chen's attacks was obviously impossible.
In the sky, the dozens-of-meters-large Taotie Divine Bull dissipated, and Xuanzi's short, sloppy figure emerged.
With the martial soul true body broken, Xuanzi suffered not light backlash.
At this moment, Xuanzi's face was pale, blood overflowing from his seven orifices, his eyes vacant, and even his aura had declined a lot.
Clearly, the mental damage attached to Wang Chen's attacks made Xuanzi's spiritual sea injury even more serious.
Now, Xuanzi's spiritual sea wasn't just shaking; cracks had appeared.
The spiritual sea was so important; once injured, recovering would take at least years to calculate.
And if not handled well, he might become a vegetable, and compared to physical injuries, it was extremely difficult to treat.
At this time, Wang Chen's condition wasn't good either; his physique wasn't strong enough, so every time he launched an attack, he would be injured from being unable to withstand the energy impact.
Fresh red blood surged from Wang Chen's torn skin, dyeing his soul master armor red.
The injuries to his meridians and internal organs were also extremely serious, with many damaged places. If not for Wang Chen's Metal of Living Beings providing vigorous vitality constantly repairing his body, his body would have been shattered by now.
Wang Chen's face was pale as he looked at Xuanzi with vacant eyes and withered aura; even the increasingly serious injuries on his body became less painful.
Wang Chen sensed the energy in the million-year soul ring; it was barely enough for him to maintain one more level 98 attack.
One attack was enough. In Xuanzi's current state, he absolutely couldn't block him; one attack, even if it didn't finish him, was enough to cripple him, making him unable to pursue.
Wang Chen took out a healing spirit pill from his storage soul tool, forcibly suppressing his body's injuries, and launched the attack again.
Clearly, Wang Chen had no intention of giving Xuanzi any breathing room, deeply understanding the principle of pursuing the defeated enemy with remaining courage, not seeking fame like the overlord.
The golden God-Suppressing Spear shone brilliantly, sharp spear radiance emerged again, then shot explosively toward Xuanzi.
Xuanzi's vacant eyes looked at the spear radiance; under the life-and-death crisis, Xuanzi's consciousness suddenly awakened.
"Little beast!"
Accompanied by a huge explosion and Xuanzi's roar, the spatial imprisonment also reached its final time.
At the center of the explosion, Xuanzi's aura was weak, his life flame dimmed, especially his chest, which had a large hole blasted open, bloody and mangled; through the hole, the bloody internal organs inside were clearly visible.
Large mouthfuls of blood spat from Xuanzi's mouth, then his figure fell from the sky, heavily smashing onto the ground.
With a thud, Xuanzi fell not far from Yan Shaozhe's corpse.
Xuanzi, breathing faintly, looked at Wang Chen above him, thinking in disbelief, "This old man actually lost. This little beast's methods are truly formidable.
Tangible and substantial realm mental power, million-year martial soul true body, and that spatial imprisonment that even this old man at level 98 peak couldn't resist, plus the ring explosion secret technique—this old man's defeat is not unjust.
However, this little beast isn't faring well either; his injuries are no lighter than this old man's, and his soul power is nearly exhausted. If he flies down, this old man will self-detonate his soul core and drag him to death together!"
In the sky.
After completing his final level 98 attack, Wang Chen exhausted the energy in the million-year soul ring.
An unprecedented sense of weakness made Wang Chen's figure unsteady, nearly falling from the air.
Wang Chen's current state was too poor; his soul power and mental power were nearly depleted, forcing him to release the martial soul true body. The golden God-Suppressing Spear also returned to silver-white, its power reverting to his original level.
Beyond that, more serious were the injuries; meridians, internal organs, muscles, and skin all severely damaged. For another Title Douluo, such injuries would be fatal.
Although Wang Chen was still alive now, he had lost half his life. However, Wang Chen's injury recovery speed was extremely fast; he estimated one day to recover seventy to eighty percent, two days to full peak condition.
Wang Chen lowered his head to look at the weakly breathing Xuanzi, who clearly had no pursuit capability, his eyes narrowing as he thought for a snap of fingers' time.
Dispelling the idea of finishing him off, Wang Chen wasn't afraid of clashing head-on with Xuanzi; what he feared was Xuanzi, unable to win, self-detonating his soul core to drag him down.
Previously, finishing off Yan Shaozhe was because Wang Chen was confident that even if Yan Shaozhe self-detonated his soul core, it wouldn't threaten him. But Xuanzi was different; a level 98 peak soul power self-detonation would make even Limit Douluo retreat.
Now that Xuanzi was severely injured to the point of being unable to pursue, it was enough; no need to risk too much for a few soul bones.
With his strength and progress speed, after cultivating for another year or so, even Limit Douluo wouldn't be his match. At that time, directly attacking Shrek Academy and resolving them all would be better.
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall; Wang Chen's life was far more precious than this old man Xuanzi's.
Wang Chen lowered his head to look at the weakly breathing Xuanzi, thinking darkly to himself, "With such serious injuries, if you luckily don't die, then let you live a few more days. Within a year, I will surely take it! Cherish your final time well."
Immediately after, Wang Chen activated his soul core, absorbing energy from space, and quickly disappeared above the Lima Plain.
.........
At the same time, in the God Realm.
In a majestic palace standing amid clouds and mist.
A man with water-blue long hair, looking like a woman but with a majestic figure and broad shoulders, stood between the clouds, His shadowy eyes gazed at the Douluo Star, scheming over it.
"What exactly happened? Why, in the time it took me to turn around, did the destiny child's luck undergo such drastic changes!!"
