Chapter 121 The Fragmented Courage of Living Beings
It's finally here?
For some reason, the moment the colossal cyan dragon pierced through the heavens and earth and Kong Tianxu's figure was fully revealed, despite feeling a sense of relief, as if a giant hammer had finally fallen, even though they felt an oppressive pressure that made it hard to breathe. The sword that had been hanging over their heads had finally come down.
"Yuhao, he seems to have gotten even stronger. What about you—"
Wang Yan's expression changed several times. He had already gritted his teeth the moment the dragon's roar sounded, but in the end, he still turned to Huo Yuhao and asked in a low voice.
"It's alright, Teacher Wang, I have a plan, but someone needs to keep them in check. I wonder if Senior Ma would be able to help?"
Huo Yuhao turned his head to look at the main seat of the rest area. Ma Xiaotao was startled the moment Kong Tianxu appeared, but then quickly calmed down.
However, now she has a level 5 healing bottle in her hand, which is accelerating the recovery of her soul power.
Ma Xiaotao clearly heard Huo Yuhao's words and said softly, "I need time."
"Teacher Wang, I'll go first."
Dai Yueheng slowly stood up, his brows furrowed.
He had already witnessed Kong Tianxu's formidable strength during the match against Xingluo that day. He knew he couldn't tear apart the wings of a defensive Soul King, nor could he stop him.
Even knowing he couldn't win, could he just back down? Of all the Shrek Academy members still capable of fighting, he was the strongest. Besides, His Majesty the Emperor and his father, Duke White Tiger, were watching from the capital.
Wang Yan nodded, but Dai Yueheng didn't look at him. He leaped up and jumped directly onto the competition stage.
"Both sides step back," Tian Sha Douluo repeated routinely.
Kong Tianxu narrowed his eyes, his vertical pupils flashing with cold light as he coldly locked onto Dai Yueheng.
Dai Yueheng immediately felt a tightness in his body, and his hair stood on end, as if there really was an ancient dragon staring at him.
Even though he was an elite Soul Emperor from Shrek Academy, Kong Tianxu's intimidating presence still made him tremble with fear.
The two retreated step by step, Dai Yueheng's every step was extremely steady, and his breathing became more and more heavy, as if a mountain was rising from the ground.
The aura that once dominated Kong Tianxu was gradually fading, making him seem like just an ordinary person without any soul power.
But his performance was anything but ordinary.
Although the competition stage had some uneven spots due to hasty repairs, these undulations seemed to completely disappear in his eyes.
Even when he reached the recessed area, it seemed as if something in the air was supporting his body, allowing him to walk through it with ease.
The moment he turned around, all the previous pressure and oppression directed at Dai Yueheng vanished. Dai Yueheng's ever-accumulating White Tiger killing aura suddenly took shape like a mountain, but it felt as if all the weight had fallen on him.
His opponent was right in front of him, yet his momentum had lost its target. The overwhelming feeling of despair made Dai Yueheng groan, his face flushing red, and he forced back the blood that had risen to his throat.
Dai Yueheng looked up in horror, only to see that Kong Tianxu had completely turned around, his expression calm, yet seemingly integrated with the entire competition stage. All his resistance had been unknowingly taken over by the other party and turned against him.
It was as if everything in this world had fallen into Kong Tianxu's control!
Wow, that's amazing! What kind of ability is that?
Unbeknownst to him, at this moment, whether it was Mu En and the Body Sect members in the stands, Xuan Zi who had stopped eating and drinking, or the white-haired old man who had appeared beside Xu Jiawei at some point on the imperial city wall, their eyes were filled with even greater horror than his, and they almost simultaneously exclaimed: "Unity of Heaven and Man!"
The waning moon on the horizon swayed slightly, as if it were smiling smugly.
"Harmony between humanity and nature?"
Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger frowned slightly, repeating the unfamiliar words with a sense of bewilderment.
Although the White Tiger lineage has reached the pinnacle of power in the secular world, its achievements in the world of Soul Masters are really nothing special. Moreover, he himself has not yet broken through to the Title Douluo level, so naturally he cannot understand the meaning of those four words.
But from the old man's astonishment, he could also glean the significance of it all.
"Brother, you should know that one of the most important hurdles for us Soul Masters to break through to Super Douluo is to complete the fusion of our Soul Power and Spiritual Power, making the two inseparable and becoming a whole."
"And this state of oneness with heaven and man is a step further. Even for Super Douluo, not every one of them can reach this state. After entering this state, not only will the consumption of life force be greatly reduced, but the intimacy with the elemental energy of heaven and earth will also be greatly increased, and one can also better conceal oneself."
Xu Jiawei's eyes were still filled with shock; none of the extraordinary things Kong Tianxu had shown before had shocked him as much as what he had experienced today.
If soul power, physical body, and even mental power can be enhanced through various rare and precious materials or medicines, then the unity of man and nature absolutely depends on the soul master's personal comprehension and talent.
This means that Kong Tianxu's path to becoming a Super Douluo is now smooth sailing.
A Super Douluo with a Silver Dragon Martial Soul? That's a bit unsettling.
Not to mention, the other party is very likely to be a Soul Master, and in the future, he may be able to reach the unprecedented level ten.
"Jiu Jiu's loss is not unjust, and it seems that Yao Heng will also have a difficult time in this match," Xu Jiawei sighed.
Super Douluo, has he already accomplished something that even other Super Douluo finds difficult to do?
She listened intently for a long time, her beautiful eyes sparkling with admiration.
Dai Hao's face turned ashen from the moment Kong Tianxu appeared. He had initially thought that the rumors about Kong Tianxu in Xingluo City were exaggerated, but after seeing him with his own eyes, he realized that Kong Tianxu's strength and talent were even greater than he had imagined. This naturally made the White Tiger Duke, who had always been extremely tough on the Sun Moon Empire, very unhappy.
However, after Xu Jiawei mentioned Dai Yueheng, he calmed down: "Watch the competition, Your Majesty. There are no cowards among the men who inherit my White Tiger Martial Soul."
Yes, while these two, the ruler and his minister, were debating, the contest between Kong Tianxu and Dai Yueheng had already begun.
With the referee's whistle, Kong Tianxu lightly touched the ground with his toes and glided towards Dai Yueheng as if skimming along the ground.
He did not release his martial spirit or his spirit ring; he simply focused on experiencing the profound mysteries of the state of harmony between heaven and man.
Mu En and the others' judgment was certainly correct; what he was using at this moment was the unity of heaven and man.
It's not just a brief entry into a state of mental focus, but a true state of unity with nature that can be applied in battle!
Even Huo Yuhao, who underwent multiple spiritual power sublimations in the original work, only truly reached that level at the age of twenty, when he was a Soul Saint. And now, he is not even fourteen years old.
The difference is now like heaven and earth.
The distance of a hundred meters was but a fleeting moment in Kong Tianxu's smooth and effortless movement.
Without any unnecessary movements or the release of any soul skills, he simply raised his left hand and made a gesture towards Dai Yueheng.
Instantly, the entire arena trembled slightly. In Dai Yueheng's perception, his opponent was not only Kong Tianxu, but also every inch of air, every ray of light, and everything else within the protective shield, all of which had become a part of the opponent.
Although there were no earth-shattering phenomena, in Dai Yueheng's eyes, there was a feeling that the world was changing color. That omnipresent sense of harmony made him so sad that he almost vomited blood.
Can he achieve this level without releasing his martial spirit?! Could it be that Dai Yueheng, on whom they have placed such high hopes, will be eliminated without even being able to make a move?
Seeing the White Tiger Soul Emperor on the stage, who couldn't even stand up straight, the Shrek Academy members all changed their expressions drastically.
Want to play me?
Kong Tianxu sneered inwardly. Although the unity of heaven and man was powerful, he was still in the process of getting to know it and had not yet pushed it to its limit.
At its current level, it might be more than enough to crush those mediocre students in other academies who rely on pills and rare treasures to improve their cultivation. However, with the Soul Emperor of the Inner Court carefully trained by Shrek Academy, coupled with the solid foundation of the White Tiger Martial Soul, Dai Yueheng is by no means powerless.
There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.
But he remained unconcerned and struck out with his palm!
Today, he is no longer afraid of any storms from any direction!
coming!
Just then, Dai Yueheng suddenly did something that no one expected.
He roared like a tiger, tearing his clothes apart with his claws. Six spirit rings flashed in succession, and thick blood mist burst from every pore of his body!
His own soul power and aura were increasing at an astonishing rate under the influence of the blood mist, as if he were gathering strength.
"Blood Burning Secret Technique".
Xuanzi's eyes were filled with regret. Unlike the Soul Burning Secret Technique, which was relatively common in the inner academy, this was a method used by members of the Shrek Academy's inspection team to fight desperately. It was enough to raise a Soul Master's cultivation level by an entire rank in a short period of time, but it was strictly forbidden to use it in daily life.
Because of its powerful effects, its side effects are also extremely terrifying.
After the essence and blood are burned, the user's cultivation will not make any progress for a period of time, and future cultivation will inevitably be greatly affected by the continuous depletion of qi and blood.
Golden fur stood on end, claws gleaming menacingly. White Tiger Protective Barrier, White Tiger Vajra Transformation, White Tiger Demon God Transformation—three amplifying soul skills were activated in succession, and Dai Yueheng raised his strength to its peak in just a few breaths.
But Kong Tianxu's palm strike had already landed!
Dai Yueheng stepped out with his left foot, into a lunge position, and crossed his arms in front of him.
"when-
'
With a loud bang, his right arm, which was in front of him, suddenly shone with golden light, and the dazzling golden light instantly enveloped his entire body.
Soul Bone Skill: Absolute Defense!
Although it is only a thousand-year-old soul bone, it is of extraordinary quality, originating from a powerful soul beast called the Black Jade Mysterious Horned Rhinoceros.
Unlike the absolute defense shield that Princess Jiujiu used before, his absolute defense can only be used for a moment due to the integrity of the soul bone itself, and it can only be used once a day.
But in that instant, if the opponent's attack hits his right arm first, his defense will be absolutely invincible.
With Dai Yueheng's current cultivation level, as long as it's not a Super Douluo-level powerhouse, his invincible shield can buy him a second and break through the opponent's attack skills.
At this moment, he smiled cruelly, his face still solemn, and a huge battle blade suddenly appeared in his right hand, which had turned red and gold.
This battle sword is four feet six inches long, with the widest part of the back of the blade being a full inch. It is shaped like a horse-slaying sword, and the hilt extends all the way to the guard, showing some bone-like features. The guard is very wide and shaped like a tiger's head.
Level 8 close-range attack soul guide, Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade.
To unleash its power, one needs to reach the level of a Soul Saint, but its power will inevitably be extremely terrifying.
The crystalline yellow light instantly transformed into a massive blade of light, sweeping out with a frenzied tiger's roar, as Dai Yueheng prepared to strike.
The next moment, his expression changed drastically!
There was no violent collision as expected. The instant the two sides made contact, all of Kong Tianxu's attacks suddenly converged at a single point.
That absolute defensive shield, which was strong enough to withstand an attack from a powerhouse below the Super Douluo level, suddenly emitted a mournful cry!
Despite the lack of any visible damage, Dai Yueheng could still clearly feel a force spreading along his arm and rushing straight to his mind.
Meanwhile, Kong Tianxu showed no fear in the face of the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade. He pulled back with his left hand and thrust outward with his right. With a pull and a thrust, a vortex only a foot in diameter, yet pure as gold, flew out from his palm and crashed straight into Dai Yueheng.
At the same time, he extended two fingers of his right hand and precisely pinched the blade of the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade.
With a piercing whistle, the heavy blade was actually caught steadily by his two fingers!
But Dai Yueheng's left hand, which had remained motionless until now, finally revealed its fangs.
He abandoned his knife and brandished his claws, seizing the opportunity during Kong Tianxu's movement to thrust his tiger claws straight in.
Kong Tianxu clearly saw it, but it seemed that he had no time to take any precautions.
bingo!
As the tiger's claws pierced his flesh, Dai Yueheng was overjoyed—this strike had severed at least three of the opponent's main blood vessels!
This was Dai Yueheng's strategy. He knew that his raw strength was probably no match for Kong Tianxu, but at such close range and with such a sudden attack, he could very well kill his opponent on the spot!
However, this time, the feeling was completely different from any other time he had ever torn open his prey's body.
No! Why is there no blood? Dai Yueheng's pupils contracted sharply.
Then, he witnessed a scene he would never forget.
His massive tiger claw, amplified by the three soul skills, was actually broken by Kong Tianxu with a single hand using only his physical strength!
Even more terrifying was that not a single drop of blood flowed from the bloody hole where his tiger claws had pierced.
Under the influence of a blue light, it shrank and healed at an unimaginable speed.
"What kind of monster are you?" Dai Yueheng could already feel himself trembling.
However, Kong Tianxu seemed oblivious, merely looking at him with a mocking expression.
"You like spurting blood?"
At this moment, the light emanating from Dai Yueheng's right arm also reached its final moment.
The golden vortex shattered.
Kong Tianxu mastered the fist, unleashing a powerful burst of energy.
"puff-
'
There was no violent collision. His jade-like fist rippled out an indescribable, all-consuming golden vortex, first shattering Dai Yueheng's forearm, and then slamming into his right chest!
Dai Yueheng's entire body erupted in a cloud of blood mist again! He spat out mouthfuls of blood.
Just as the fist was about to land on his right chest, Tian Sha Douluo finally made his move. Xing Guang narrowly blocked Dai Yueheng's path, intercepting the fatal blow.
Even so, a vortex-like indentation appeared on Dai Yueheng's right chest, and he seemed to hear some strange calls.
The illusion vanished, and Kong Tianxu stood unharmed in the center of the competition stage. From beginning to end, it seemed that he had only used one palm strike.
From the outside, it appeared that after Dai Yueheng pierced his own chest with his left claw, he then fiercely severed his seemingly unresponsive left hand with a horizontal blade, before his right arm was shattered by Kong Tianxu's palm strike that struck first and then came later.
There wasn't much back and forth; it was just him harming himself, and Kong Tianxu slapped him.
Fake?!
Dai Yueheng trembled uncontrollably as he lay on the ground, his eyes devoid of any fighting spirit, filled only with endless fear.
Kong Tianxu slowly withdrew his palm, his entire body completely untouched, not even a drop of Dai Yueheng's blood had touched him.
With his current state of perfect harmony with nature, it would be incredibly easy for him to manipulate Dai Yueheng after breaking through her defenses, in conjunction with the Holy Spirit Puppet. In fact, even if he were to withstand that blow head-on, it wouldn't matter to him.
What Dai Yueheng saw in the illusion was not entirely false. If he was really injured, his recovery speed would be absolutely terrifying.
Upon internal observation, his blood flowed like a stream, and his vital energy was as abundant as the sea. All his bones, muscles, meridians, and internal organs were covered with a strange blue glow.
This is the power of the Life Gold directly fusing with the body. As long as his spiritual sea is not instantly destroyed, any injury can be healed at a speed unimaginable to ordinary people under the healing power of this endless vitality.
