Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting-Novel

Chapter 757– Xiuxiu Versus Qing Luo

At this moment, facing Bai Xiuxiu’s spear, Qing Luo was slightly startled.

Bai Xiuxiu stabbed the spear without batting an eyelid, making it impossible for her to judge the power of the spear. More importantly, at this moment, she felt that she was actually charging towards the tip of the spear.

Prediction? The other party could actually predict her movements!

Qing Luo forced herself to stop. She closed the Heavenly Luo Fan in her hand and pointed it at the tip of the ice spear.

!!

But right at this moment, the ice spear suddenly retracted and her Heavenly Luo Fan hit nothing. Following that, the spear’s light flickered and with a flash, the tip of the spear reached her lower abdomen at an extremely fast speed.

Right at this moment, the purple threads from the Heavenly Luo Fan had already wrapped around Bai Xiuxiu.

At this moment, five soul rings appeared beneath Bai Xiuxiu’s feet.

When that orange-gold soul ring appeared before everyone’s eyes, the entire mountaintop became silent.

Although the strength that Lan Xuanyu displayed previously was shocking, it was still within a reasonable range. But what was this orange-gold soul ring?

Following the appearance of the five soul rings, a layer of purple scales emerged from Bai Xiuxiu’s body and covered her entire body.

Bai Xiuxiu ignored those threads and continued stabbing her ice spear.

The first purple thread landed on Bai Xiuxiu.

To Qing Luo’s surprise, the Heavenly Luo Silk that was pulled by the Heavenly Luo Fan made contact with the purple scales on Bai Xiuxiu’s body and broke with a “pop” sound.

Following that, the purple threads landed on Bai Xiuxiu’s body, but the result was the same. They were unable to bind or pull her at all, nor could they affect her movements.

Her purple scales had a corrosive effect?

Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Qing Luo flipped the Heavenly Luo Fan in her hand and knocked it downwards. She retracted the ice spear in an instant and the spear flickered like a ghost.

It was Qing Luo’s first time encountering such an opponent. Bai Xiuxiu’s spear was unpredictable and didn’t meet force with force, but she had no choice but to block it. She had never seen such a spear technique before.

In this aspect, Bai Xiuxiu was often praised by Nana. In terms of technique, no one in Lan Xuanyu’s team could compare to Bai Xiuxiu. Bai Xiuxiu had the talent to learn and was proficient in all techniques. She learned quickly and could comprehend many changes.

In her strongest state, Bai Xiuxiu was able to perfectly combine battle techniques and soul skills.

That day when Lan Xuanyu was facing the twin swords of sorrow and joy, the two of them were suppressed so badly that they were unable to unleash their advantages. Emotional attacks were also very rare.

And in today’s sparring match with the Federation’s Central Academy, their respective abilities were displayed.

Qing Luo revealed a thoughtful expression. Under Bai Xiuxiu’s attack, she was actually forced into a panic.

This had nothing to do with cultivation. In terms of technique, she could feel that she was being suppressed by her opponent. At this moment, she had already calmed herself down to observe the orange-gold soul ring on Bai Xiuxiu’s body.

She knew very well what orange-gold meant, but only in theory.

Legend has it that only soul beasts with over 200,000 years of cultivation could produce orange-gold soul rings, and orange-gold soul rings could bring at least two soul skills, or even three.

Where did she get a Great Beast to fuse with her? And what was the soul skill attached to her orange-gold soul ring?

There was no doubt that this Great Beast’s soul skills were extremely terrifying and powerful. Hence, Qing Luo wasn’t in a rush to attack and instead observed and confirmed what Bai Xiuxiu’s Martial Soul was through the battle.

Compared to the previous magnificent collision, this battle seemed to have returned to the primitive era, and it was a battle of close combat. Bai Xiuxiu unfolded her body and swung her ice spear up and down, sometimes left and sometimes right, displaying her powerful fighting technique.

The Heavenly Luo Fan in Qing Luo’s hand suddenly opened and closed as she resisted Bai Xiuxiu’s attack. Neither side was in a rush to unleash more soul skills, and Qing Luo even retracted the Heavenly Luo Silk.

This battle was more like a spar.

On the spectator stand.

Er Ming turned to the burly, middle-aged man next to him and asked, “Can you tell who it is? Is it a Spirit Soul?”

“It must be a Spirit Soul. Otherwise, how could she have fused with the fifth soul ring? From the aura, it seems to be the Demon Queen. After Di Tian died, Tiger King took over from their side. There was no news of the Demon Queen and Bi Ji. I thought that they were assisting Tiger King in the dark, but it seems that’s not the case. Why would the Demon Queen follow a human girl? Strange!”

Er Ming was puzzled as well. “That’s right! We are very familiar with the Demon Queen’s character. Other than Di Tian and the Silver Dragon King, she is cold to everyone else and has a strong character. How did she become a human’s Spirit Soul?”

“Let’s see if it’s the Demon Queen first. If it’s really the Demon Queen, even if the opponent is an eight-ring Soul Douluo, it’s hard to say what the outcome will be.”

Er Ming was somewhat doubtful. “Da Ming, do you think that child can win? Once she has seven rings and possesses a Soul Core, her strength will undergo a qualitative change. The disparity in soul power is too great. Although the ability that the Demon Queen gave her is strong, it wouldn’t be of much use without sufficient soul power.”

Da Ming gave him a warning look and said, “Look carefully, she has been conserving her soul power. If I’m not wrong, she is looking for an opportunity to unleash her full strength. She might still be able to win if she unleashes her full strength. Not only does this lady have rich battle experience, but she also has a lot of ideas.”

“En.”

When Bai Xiuxiu saw that her opponent was an eight-ring Soul Douluo, she already had a battle plan. She obviously knew that under normal circumstances, she would never be her opponent.

Just like how after fighting with her opponent for such a long time, Qing Luo’s soul power didn’t seem to be exhausted. This was the effect of the Soul Core’s recovery ability.

Bai Xiuxiu wasn’t as capable as Lan Xuanyu to attract all sorts of elements in the air for her own use to make up for her lack of cultivation. In fact, if it was a different environment where the natural elements weren’t so dense, Lan Xuanyu’s combat power would be greatly reduced.

Hence, whether it was a long battle or a quick battle, it was impossible for her to defeat Qing Luo.

Qing Luo was currently in a defensive state and was extremely cautious because she didn’t want to give Bai Xiuxiu a chance at all. Hence, Bai Xiuxiu knew that if she wanted to win, there was only one way: seize a chance and defeat Qing Luo with a perfect burst of strength.

However, she was certain that Qing Luo would be on guard against her battle style and would not give her such a chance. Hence, she didn’t know what the final outcome would be. Her only advantage was that Qing Luo didn’t know what soul skill her orange-gold soul ring had.

Qing Luo wasn’t anxious at all. She was able to become the number one person in the Federation’s Central Academy not only because of her strength, but also because of her strong mentality.

Even before today, there weren’t many people in the academy who knew that she was an eight-ring Soul Douluo and she had always been standing behind Yan Kailun. It was with her support that Yan Kailun’s position as president of the student union was irreplaceable.

She never revealed her strength easily, so from the start of the battle, she knew how great her advantage was. Her opponent was only a five-ring Soul King, while she had a Soul Core and had the strength of an eight-ring Soul Douluo. The steadiest way to defeat her opponent was to block whatever came her way.

No matter how her opponent attacked, as long as she could defend herself, the moment her opponent’s soul power was exhausted would be the moment she won.
