Chapter 199 Another Deal
As expected, what the two titled Douluo, Chrysanthemum and Demon, said was not an exaggeration.
Ling indeed possessed the strength of someone offered by the Spirit Hall.
Furthermore, their guesses were not without reason; the pressure emanating from this red spirit ring with golden patterns far exceeded that of an ordinary 100,000-year spirit ring.
The chill emanating from Ling was coming from her torso.
The 100,000-year-old torso soul bone skill is something Ling hasn't used in over a year. If there are no surprises, this torso soul bone comes from the soul beast of her eighth soul ring.
After Qian Renxue and Ling released their Martial Soul True Forms, their auras surged once again.
The two soul energies, blazing heat and frigid cold, are inherently in conflict. In this Sunset Forest, Ding Quan felt as if he were in the eye of ice and fire.
The golden Xuanhuo eyes watched the soul power generated by the collision between the two.
Qian Renxue, who is now at the ninth level of the Soul Ring, has very strong Soul Power. Normally, Ling's Soul Power is not inferior to Qian Renxue's. However, Qian Renxue's Soul Power now has an extremely strong purification ability, or rather, the ability to dissolve Soul Power.
The soul power released by Ling was significantly weakened compared to her soul power.
Although Ling possesses ice and fire attributes and can also dissolve an opponent's soul power, it is clear that the Six-Winged Angel, a god-level martial soul that has reached the Title Douluo level, has a superior ability to her.
"You don't seem worried?" Golden Crocodile Douluo saw that Ding Quan was calm and composed, as were Wei'er and the others beside him.
"Senior, they were just sparring; the outcome isn't important. Besides, aren't you here, Senior?"
Ding Quan wasn't too worried. Qian Renxue, who was already at the ninth level, was undoubtedly very strong. Ling had already planned to make a move before Qian Renxue arrived, as she wanted to test how far she could go.
Qian Renxue is someone who has already inherited the divine position. If Ling can contend with Qian Renxue at the Soul Douluo level, then the longer he persists, the more confident he will become a god in the future. In addition, he will also be prepared to lose.
After all, it's not surprising that they lost.
Qian Renxue and Ling are indeed very strong now, but the Golden Crocodile Douluo in front of them, whose soul power has reached level 98, is even stronger. If the two of them are in danger, the Golden Crocodile Douluo's strength is enough to interrupt their fight.
"Too."
Golden Crocodile Douluo said in a deep voice, his soul power surging unconsciously, and the aura he exuded still shocked Ding Quan.
Even though he now possesses the Yin-Yang dual soul cores, his soul power is still inferior to that of Golden Crocodile Douluo.
As expected of someone who has reached the peak of level 98, they are only one step away from achieving the peerless realm.
Turning our attention to the battle between Qian Renxue and Ling, we see Ling's Soul Skills demonstrating their full advantage.
"First Soul Skill—Ice Soul! Third Soul Skill—Mental Slowness!"
Ling's first and third spirit rings lit up, and the snowflakes in the sky that had been rapidly melting upon contact with Qian Renxue's spirit power stopped melting. Ling's spiritual power was amplified, and his aura became even stronger under the effect of "Ruling the World".
Normally, at the Title Douluo level, the effects of the first few spirit rings and spirit skills are minimal.
However, Ding Quan and the others' soul skills are not included here, because most of their skills are amplification or functional soul skills, and such skills are extremely powerful at the Title Douluo level.
Although Ling's second spirit ring did not flash, it still amplified Ling's mental power.
"Fifth Soul Skill - Divine Sword!" Qian Renxue Jianling released her soul skill, directly using her fifth soul skill, this ten-thousand-year soul skill.
A longsword formed from brilliant golden soul power appeared in Qian Renxue's hand. The power of Qian Renxue's previous attack skills was merely icing on the cake for her current level of cultivation.
Seeing this, Ling's spirit surged, and under the influence of the Ice Soul, an exquisite longsword also appeared in his hand.
At the same time, to Qian Renxue's astonishment, the outermost crimson spirit ring on Ling's body lit up.
Ling's eighth spirit ring, the first spirit ring skill of the 400,000-year-old Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion—Ice Emperor's Claw!
Ling gathers his ultimate ice attribute into any point on his body, and attacks his enemies with extreme ice power when fighting.
Hyotei's ice attribute is indeed very strong, but what makes her most powerful is her terrifying physical strength. Although Hyotei is small in size, she is best at close-range attacks, especially her front claws and tail spikes, which require her to fight at close range.
This is a status-based skill. Ling, who has absorbed the Ice Emperor's 400,000-year soul ring, now has melee capabilities that are in no way weaker than her soul skill attacks.
Boom!
The golden holy sword and the emerald green ice sword collided violently, like a huge explosion, and the two figures were sent flying by the sound of the explosion.
Golden Crocodile Douluo's expression darkened as he watched the two retreating figures. Although Ding Quan said that the outcome was not important, he did not want to see Qian Renxue defeated.
While the two appear to be evenly matched, Golden Crocodile Douluo knows that the skills of Ding Quan and the others' spirit rings are not ordinary attack skills, but mostly amplification skills. Ling's spirit rings also possess amplification skills, and they are at the 100,000-year level.
as predicted!
Ling's sixth spirit ring lit up immediately! Her aura surged once again.
The first soul skill of the Titan Snow Demon, which has existed for 200,000 years—Snow Demon's Fury!
A gigantic phantom of a giant ape appeared above the Snow Lotus Martial Soul, letting out a furious roar.
A chill began to emanate from Ling's side. Under the blazing sun, the once sweltering Sunset Forest was now a frozen wasteland.
Qian Renxue looked at the spirit rings that lit up on Ling's body. She had seen this spirit skill before. The amplification provided by a 100,000-year spirit skill was not to be underestimated. Ling's aura had already suppressed her spirit power.
Amplification skills are incredibly useful at the Title Douluo level!
However, I also possess the skill that increases power over 100,000 years!
"Eighth Soul Skill - Enlightenment!" Qian Renxue's eighth soul ring lit up, and her golden soul power seemed to be burning.
Qian Renxue's red soul ring provides two skills: Enlightenment, which ignites her own soul power, greatly enhancing her soul power and mental strength, thereby increasing her attack power and speed.
At the same time, a brilliant golden light emanated from Qian Renxue's body, blocking the ice and snow that were shooting towards her and causing them to melt rapidly.
They actually used the angelic realm directly?
The domain power released by a Title Douluo is indeed powerful. Other Soul Douluos might not be able to resist this domain skill, and even their own domains might not be able to stop it.
But I have more than one area of expertise!
A silvery-white halo emanated from Ling's body, and the brilliant golden soul power and the snow-white soul power collided once again.
Qian Renxue's Angel Domain and Ling's Ice Soul Domain began to clash.
Just as Qian Renxue grinned, Ling unleashed another eerie white domain, directly blocking Qian Renxue's angelic domain that was spreading towards Ling, and showing signs of a counterattack.
Ling's Ice Soul Domain is by no means weak; it has evolved several times already.
It incorporates the effects of Titan Snow Demon's Ice and Snow Domain, 100,000-year-old Snow Lotus's Frozen Domain, and Ice Emperor's Eternal Frozen Domain.
Ordinary domain power is ineffective against Ling's Ice Soul Domain, but Qian Renxue's martial soul is a god-level six-winged angel, which is why it suppressed Ling's Ice Soul Domain.
Only after Ling released the God of Slaughter Domain was the power of the two domains able to block the Angel Domain, as the God of Slaughter Domain and the Angel Domain are mutually restraining.
This is the power of Ling and the nine-ringed, six-winged angel! It's truly terrifying!
In the distant void, Gu Rong, Chen Xin, and Ning Fengzhi watched the destruction and terrifying pressure caused by the two's battle. Even though they had already broken through to level ninety-six, they still felt their hearts pounding.
"Three 100,000-year spirit rings! That's incredibly powerful." Chen Xin looked at the eight spirit rings on Ling's body—one yellow, two purple, two black, and three red. Even after breaking through to the Title Douluo level, Chen Xin hadn't been able to obtain three 100,000-year spirit rings, yet Ling already possessed three.
A few days ago, I fought with Ding Quan. Ding Quan also had two 100,000-year spirit rings and one spirit ring that looked grayish-red, but it didn't look as impressive as Ling's.
"She definitely has no fewer than three 100,000-year-old soul bones on her body!" Ling has already used the torso bone skill, and she has also released other 100,000-year-old soul bone skills before.
"There should be more!"
"So, she possesses no fewer than ten 100,000-year-old soul skills!"
"What's even more frightening is that many of these contain amplification skills!"
Because of Ning Fengzhi's frequent assistance, Chen Xin knew how powerful the amplification skills were in enhancing his strength once he reached the Title Douluo level.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's auxiliary effects at the seventh ring are indeed powerful, but they are absolutely no match for the boost provided by a 100,000-year soul skill.
"A 100,000-year-old soul skill was actually blocked by Ling without a scratch! This is incredible!"
While the group was talking, Qian Renxue once again unleashed the second skill of her eighth spirit ring, Breaking Army!
Ke Ling actually blocked it directly.
"It's a soul bone skill! Ling also has such a powerful defensive skill."
After the two collided, Chen Xin saw that Ling had formed an ice armor on his body, covered with dense, tiny hexagonal scales.
"This is a torso bone, and it has two soul skills; it must be a 100,000-year-old soul bone without a doubt!"
Ling had just used a torso bone skill. Gu Rong looked at the undamaged ice sword in Ling's hand. In the previous exchange, it was actually this person who had been using large-scale soul power attacks who had the upper hand.
Ling's eighth spirit ring's spirit skill is also terrifyingly powerful, capable of suppressing a ten-thousand-year spirit skill cast by a spirit master with an additional spirit ring.
"These two are already on par with me. Even with Feng Zhi's help, I might not be able to win."
The destruction caused by the battle between Qian Renxue and Ling was so great that a huge clearing has now appeared in the Sunset Forest.
"That kid was hiding his true strength far too well when he fought us back then." Gu Rong used his spatial power to scratch his already sparse beard.
Compared to these people, other geniuses pale in comparison.
"That person used their ninth soul skill!"
A dazzling sun rose in the distance, its brilliance surpassing even the scorching sun in the sky. Ning Fengzhi shielded his eyes with his hand, leaving only a slit.
"The power of a Title Douluo's ninth soul skill is astounding!"
Chen Xin and Gu Rong's expressions changed slightly; the pressure generated by merely releasing a soul skill was enough to startle them.
The six-winged angel soared into the sky, its surging soul power coursing through it.
This is!
"Ninth Soul Skill - Angelic Holy Light!" Qian Renxue's outermost blood-red soul ring lit up, and her whole person seemed to turn into the blazing sun.
She actually managed to do this. In Ding Quan's eyes, she merged with the blazing sun in the sky, radiating dazzling golden light.
The power of a titled Douluo using a 100,000-year soul ring is indeed formidable.
It seems unlikely that Qian Renxue's ninth soul skill could actually harm Ling.
Although this is Qian Renxue's ninth soul skill, this soul ring is still the same as her eighth soul ring, a skill with a lifespan of 100,000 years.
Ling Gang just used the Ice Emperor's 400,000-year-old soul bone skill, and the Ice Emperor's protection blocked Qian Renxue's eighth soul skill, so this 100,000-year-old soul skill is naturally no problem for him either.
The torso bone that Hyotei provided to Ryo serves both offensive and defensive purposes.
This defensive skill, Ice Emperor's Protection, is even stronger than Extreme Ice Power.
The Ice Emperor's defenses are incredibly strong. Back in the far north, Ding Quan fought against the Ice Emperor, and the Dragon Abyss Sword was completely unable to penetrate his defenses.
"Looks like it's another draw." Seeing that Ding Quan was unmoved, Golden Crocodile Douluo noticed that Ling's defensive skill was the strongest he had ever seen, capable of withstanding a 100,000-year soul skill released by a Title Douluo.
The soul beast that produced this soul bone must be incredibly powerful.
Just now, Ling released his sixth soul skill. That huge, snow-white Titan Giant Ape phantom should be the soul beast of the Titan Snow Demon clan that the two Title Douluos, Chrysanthemum and Ghost, encountered in the far north.
No wonder Ling unleashed his sixth soul skill with such a huge boost.
That's someone who, in less than 100,000 years, could suppress two level 95 Super Douluos.
"A draw?" Ding Quan didn't say much upon hearing this. Ling hadn't used his fifth soul skill yet, and still had several 100,000-year skills.
If used, it might cause some trouble for Qian Renxue.
However, it was just some trouble. Ling didn't use those skills, but Qian Renxue also had some hidden abilities.
The armor Qian Renxue is wearing now is not to be underestimated. Qian Renxue has not yet used her soul bone skills, and the age of her soul bones is over 100,000 years.
With this Soul Bone Set, Ling Nan could no longer pose a threat to Qian Renxue.
"They can stop now. There's no point in continuing." Golden Crocodile Douluo looked towards the distance, where two Title Douluos were clearly from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. The commotion from Xue'er and Ling's fight was much greater than it had been a year ago, and many powerful figures were now watching from afar.
"Alright!"
"Furthermore, Xue'er's purpose in coming here this time is not to fight Ling, but for you."
"I?"
Ding Quan felt several gazes fixed on him, and Wei'er and the others' gazes were somewhat unfriendly.
"Xue'er and I are very interested in the cultivation method you gave to Dugu Bo!" Golden Crocodile Douluo said in a deep voice. "Of course, we will also pay a reward. I wonder if you are willing to make this deal."
"A trade?" A 100,000-year-old soul bone?
Ding Quan narrowed his eyes. The Golden Crocodile Douluo spoke very seriously when he mentioned the transaction, but the Soul Core Technique might be more needed by the Golden Crocodile Douluo now.
With such powerful soul force, if the Golden Crocodile knew the cultivation method for soul cores, and given his physique capable of withstanding god-level attacks, he might be able to condense two soul cores.
His soul power was so strong at this moment that condensing a soul core was very easy for him.
The risk of having a dual soul core that complements Yin and Yang is too great, but a dual soul core of the same attribute would not pose any risk to him.
And if he succeeds, he should be able to take the final step.
