...
Yu Yuanzhen casually raised his hand, and the previously boisterous audience instantly fell silent.
He first turned his head and looked intently at Xuan Hao, who was panting heavily, before his gaze fell on Yu Luomian, whose face was pale.
"Second brother, you lost."
Yu Yuanzhen's eyes were sharp as he offered a penetrating critique:
"That kid's counterattack just now contained power and explosive force that far exceeded the limits of your protective soul power.
If I hadn't intervened in time to stop you, and he had actually unleashed that force on you, you would have been seriously injured on the spot today."
Hearing his elder brother's definitive conclusion, Yu Luomian was filled with resentment, his face flushed red, but faced with the irrefutable facts, he could not utter a word in rebuttal.
However, he gritted his teeth, staring at Xuan Hao with disbelief in his eyes, and asked unwillingly, "Big brother... I really don't understand! This kid is only level 70!
How could he possibly keep up with my speed in my Martial Soul True Body state?"
"And that strange golden shield on his body, what kind of evil soul skill is that?
How can it have such abnormal defensive power?!
Even... even he can release that violent physical blood and qi power to directly enhance and amplify the soul skill?
This is completely illogical!"
Yu Yuanzhen stood with his hands behind his back, his deep and dignified eyes quietly watching Xuan Hao.
Hearing Yu Luomian's unwilling question, Yu Yuanzhen didn't turn his head and answered in a deep voice:
"Second brother, he really can't keep up with your speed.
But the reason he was able to accurately block your attack just now was not because of speed at all."
"That's spiritual perception, or rather, an extremely keen and absolute prediction of danger!"
Yu Yuanzhen sighed, "He doesn't need to chase your movements at all.
In that state, he only needs to sense the location of the deadly crisis in advance and wait there to defend.
Your extreme speed, in the face of absolute perception and prediction, becomes a weakness that makes you run into it."
Upon hearing his elder brother's explanation, Yu Luomian was struck dumb, completely stunned.
Prediction? A boy who's not even twenty years old, his mental strength and life-or-death combat instincts are terrifyingly powerful enough to see through the movements of a Contra player?!
"As for the golden protective shield on his body..."
Yu Yuanzhen narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of fear and suspicion flashing deep within them.
"It is indeed extremely strange. Second brother, with the full force of your attack after activating your Martial Soul True Form, even an ordinary defensive Soul Douluo could not possibly block it so perfectly with their eighth Soul Skill, let alone forcibly absorb damage and accumulate counter-force."
At this point, Yu Yuanzhen paused for a moment and did not delve any further.
Because he knew very well that this was the most core trump card and secret of a Soul Master, and Xuan Hao obviously could not explain it in public.
And that was indeed the case.
At this moment, Xuan Hao was merely calming the surging blood and qi within his body caused by the forced overexertion.
Facing Yu Yuanzhen's probing gaze, he simply raised the corners of his mouth and returned a polite and flawless smile, without saying a single word.
Of course, he couldn't explain to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan that his "Golden Dragon Tyrant Body," which was considered a rogue move, was actually based on a rare 100,000-year-old soul ring!
In the laws of this continent, only by crossing that insurmountable barrier and reaching the level of a 100,000-year soul ring can a soul master be granted such an abnormal divine skill that defies common sense and is completely unreasonable!
Yu Yuanzhen withdrew his deep gaze and put his hands behind his back.
"In today's battle, it is true that the second brother lost.
But his loss does not mean that I, Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, have lost."
"If he hadn't been so eager to succeed and acted impulsively, sacrificing his speed advantage to go head-to-head with you for the sake of his so-called face, you wouldn't have been able to win this round, no matter how many tricks you had up your sleeve."
In response to Yu Yuanzhen's insightful comment, Xuan Hao dispersed the golden dragon of blood and qi that enveloped his body, shrugged calmly, and did not deny it.
"You're right, sir. I was able to win today purely because the second-in-command was careless and underestimated the enemy."
Xuan Hao took a deep breath, calmed the surging soul power within his body, and said very objectively, "If this old thing had taken me seriously from the beginning as an opponent of the same level and used speed to hold me back, I would have had no chance of winning.
The strength and domineering nature of the number one beast martial soul in the world is indeed well-deserved, I admit it."
"If it were a Soul Master with an ordinary martial soul today, I might actually be able to suppress him by force with my trump card.
But against a Soul Master with a top-tier martial soul like the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus, I can still maintain a steady advantage when we are at the same level or the difference is not significant; but once we cross a major realm gap of nearly twenty levels, and the opponent is still on high alert, then if I still want to win, it's just a pipe dream."
Hearing Xuan Hao's composed and extremely clear-headed remarks, Yu Luomian's expression softened considerably.
"Boy, although my Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family is arrogant and values face more than anything, it doesn't mean we are a bunch of cowards who can't accept defeat!
Today, I have indeed been defeated by you, and I admit defeat!"
Yu Luomian's tone shifted, the arrogance of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus rekindled in his eyes:
"But! Just because you defeated me, Yu Luomian, today doesn't mean you've defeated the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus! If you truly want to claim the title of 'Number One Beast Martial Soul Under Heaven' for your martial soul..."
Yu Luomian suddenly turned her head to look at Yu Yuanzhen, who stood beside her like a towering mountain, and shouted loudly, "Win against him first!"
Looking at the powerful, level 95 "old dragon" that could summon thunder from the heavens at any moment, Xuan Hao's lips twitched violently twice, and he rolled his eyes in annoyance.
"Then you should continue to be the best in the world.
We'll talk about this again in a few years."
Xuan Hao nonchalantly spread his hands, curled his lip, and said, "I do like to cause trouble, but I'm not stupid.
You want me, with my level 70 cultivation, to go to war with a level 95 Title Douluo? Am I tired of living?"
Yu Yuanzhen's strength is not much different from Tang Hao's when he doesn't use his full power to explode his rings.
Even Tang Hao, who was still seriously injured and unable to go all out, could crush him. Yu Yuanzhen?
If this old man were to get serious, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to withstand a single move.
Yu Yuanzhen gave him a deep look.
The immense pressure of his superior had not completely dissipated.
He said coldly, "Now that the reasoning is over, I accept the fact that Second Brother lost to you.
However, you came to the gate of my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan today and caused a scene, publicly disgracing my family.
This matter will not end so easily."
Xuan Hao raised an eyebrow, meeting his gaze without flinching, and retorted, "So how do you intend to resolve this?
Do you really think the mighty Thunder Douluo is going to lower himself and fight me personally?"
Before Yu Yuanzhen could reply, an extremely terrifying, dark green soul power pressure suddenly descended from the sky!
This oppressive aura, carrying a chillingly potent poisonous scent, was like a collapsing mountain, instantly tearing a huge gash in the thunderous atmosphere that had filled the square.
Immediately afterwards, a tall, thin figure in dark green crashed down like a meteorite, firmly blocking Xuan Hao's path.
The person who arrived was none other than Dugu Bo.
Dugu Bo stood with his hands behind his back, his long, dark green hair dancing wildly in the wind.
His deep green eyes stared coldly at Yu Yuanzhen opposite him, a mocking sneer curling at the corner of his mouth:
"What? The dignified sect master of the three upper sects, Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen, now you also like to play the bullying game?
If you're really itching for a fight, then have the guts to spar with this old man?"
