"Hmph, do I really make you that excited?"
Tang Ni looked at Xiao Lin's expression and movements, feeling a sense of pride in her heart as she asked smugly.
"Of course! I've never encountered a Soul Master of the same type as me before—Little San only counts as half of one."
Xiao Lin gave a definitive answer.
Without worrying whether Tang Ni's body could withstand the weight of the Horned Dragon Staff, he immediately displayed his first and second soul rings.
As one yellow and one purple soul ring surged into Xiao Lin's body, his aura underwent a drastic transformation, startling Ning Fengzhi and the others outside the Soul Fighting Arena.
Although they knew Xiao Lin's second soul ring was a thousand-year ring, they understood perfectly well that even in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan—who possessed medicinal baths—
There was no one among the younger generation who had attained a thousand-year ring for their second slot. At this point, they fully acknowledged Xiao Lin's strength, believing his Horned Dragon Staff to be no weaker than the Clear Sky Clan's Clear Sky Hammer.
In reality, Xiao Lin's Horned Dragon Staff was far more powerful than the Clear Sky Hammer. Everything the Clear Sky Hammer possessed, the Horned Dragon Staff had; and what the Clear Sky Hammer lacked, the Horned Dragon Staff provided.
As Xiao Lin circulated the Vajra Imperishable Divine Skill, a faint silver-white metallic luster blossomed across his skin. The Horned Dragon Staff underwent a distinct change; even the air surrounding Xiao Lin became heavy, suppressed by the sheer power of the staff.
His attack power was enhanced by over 500% (combining the first and second soul skills), and his speed was boosted by more than 100%. Facing Tang Ni, Xiao Lin directly entered "Charging State 2," deeply afraid that he wouldn't be able to match her otherwise.
"Wonderful! First soul skill: Golden Dragon Body! Second soul skill: Dragon's Strength!"
Tang Ni felt the sluggishness of the air around her and became even more satisfied with Xiao Lin as an opponent. She immediately unleashed her own first and second soul skills.
Just like Xiao Lin, one yellow and one purple soul ring appeared before transforming into golden light and merging into her body. Also like Xiao Lin, both of Tang Ni's soul skills were self-buffing types.
"Interesting. Do Soul Masters nowadays all choose soul rings and skills like this?"
Dugu Bo watched the ever-climbing power and momentum of the two on the stage and commented with great interest. Unless one had absolute trust in their Martial Soul and their own strength, who would choose skills that were purely self-augmenting?
Unlike what Xiao Lin had expected, the soul ring ages for this transformed Auspicious Beast had changed.
Does this mean the soul beasts already know that a Soul Master's second soul skill can reach the thousand-year level? Xiao Lin wondered inwardly.
Perhaps Xiao Wu had leaked information about herself.
If this was the case for Tang Ni, then how strong were her soul skills?
Looking at Tang Ni, who was brimming with terrifying power, Xiao Lin silently estimated the buffs of her first and second skills. The numerical enhancement of Golden Dragon Body was likely no less than Yu Tianheng's fourth soul skill.
It probably scaled with Tang Ni's level and provided a boost to all attributes. As for the second soul skill, Power of the Dragon... he feared its raw strength was no lower than his own third soul skill.
Facing such an opponent, Xiao Lin naturally wouldn't waste time. He was different from Tang Ni; as long as he didn't release his soul power externally, he wouldn't consume too much of it. To ensure a fair duel, he struck immediately.
In the next instant, Xiao Lin's entire body erupted with startling lightning.
The blinding light flashed directly into Tang Ni's eyes, sealing off her vision.
"Bring it on!"
Similar to Yu Tianheng's fourth soul skill, Tang Ni's first skill was an all-attribute buff.
Combined with the fact that the Golden Dragon was a Martial Soul of Ultimate Strength, Tang Ni's physical foundation was even more freakish than Yu Tianheng's. This resulted in her buff effects far exceeding Xiao Lin's.
Consequently, Xiao Lin's "flashbang" tactic didn't actually have much effect. Tang Ni simply closed her eyes, took a step back, and swiftly avoided the attack range of the Horned Dragon Staff.
In the next second, Tang Ni swung her spear, striking directly at Xiao Lin's Horned Dragon Staff. Although she couldn't see Xiao Lin, she could determine his approximate location through her keen senses.
She swept the Golden Dragon Spear in a horizontal arc; unless Xiao Lin chose to dodge, he would definitely be hit.
BOOM!
In an instant, a massive explosion erupted on the Soul Fighting Arena.
The powerful shockwave was so intense that it caused the protective barrier surrounding the stage to vibrate. Tang Ni's whip-like spear strike, fueled by her immense strength, clashed with Xiao Lin's staff, which was backed by his super-high attack amplification.
They were almost perfectly matched, though Xiao Lin was faintly falling into a disadvantage. This was because his attack power amplification didn't have much of an effect on the incredibly hard Golden Dragon Spear.
As the first collision of colossal force ended, Xiao Lin was forced back three to five meters, while Tang Ni remained as still as a mountain. By this point, Xiao Lin's "flashbang" tactic no longer worked on her.
This brief exchange of one round had already left the people beneath the stage slack-jawed.
Yu Tianheng: Damn it! When Xiao Lin fought me, he hadn't even used his full strength—he hadn't even pushed his second soul skill to the limit!
Yu Tianheng felt a mix of anger and helplessness.
However, seeing Tang Ni and her Golden Dragon Martial Soul suppressing Xiao Lin gave him a small sense of satisfaction. If our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul evolves, it will be the number one Martial Soul in the world, he thought to himself.
The other members of Emperor Team shared similar thoughts; they all felt that Xiao Lin was about to lose. Meanwhile, Tang San and Xiao Wu simply shook their heads. They knew all too well the terror of Xiao Lin's true strength and his Tool Soul Avatar Physique.
It was just that before arriving at Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, Xiao Lin had made a pact with them not to reveal his true power. He likely wouldn't expose his real capabilities until the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament two years from now.
Even so, the two did not believe Xiao Lin was at a disadvantage.
After all, he had yet to use his powerful third soul skill.
At this moment, Ning Fengzhi and the two Titled Douluo were watching the match with glowing eyes. Truly, heroes emerge from the youth—these two were little monsters.
If men with the vision of Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Dugu Bo gave such an evaluation, it meant Xiao Lin and Tang Ni were genuine freaks of nature.
However, unlike Chen Xin and Dugu Bo, the more Ning Fengzhi watched Xiao Lin, the more he liked him. He felt that Xiao Lin was becoming a better and better match for Rongrong. He was just glad Tang Ni was a girl; otherwise, he wouldn't know how to choose a future son-in-law.
If Xiao Lin wants to become the son-in-law of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, I wonder how much dowry I'll need to prepare for Rongrong?
Ning Fengzhi calculated inwardly.
Meanwhile, a flash of inspiration hit Dugu Bo.
He saw another possibility through Tang Ni's presence: the possibility of evolving Dugu Yan's Jade Phosphor Serpent King into a Dragon!
If she became a Dragon, Yan'er should no longer be affected by the serpent venom!
Dugu Bo's logic was sound; many serpent-type soul beasts carried dragon bloodlines, and the Jade Phosphor Serpent was a prime candidate for such a leap.
While the spectators below were lost in their own thoughts, Xiao Lin and Tang Ni had already exchanged many more rounds in a short period.
This time, Xiao Lin employed his Eight Trigrams Staff Technique, attacking with pure speed. Tang Ni, relying on her powerful physical foundation, used the Golden Dragon Spear to swat away Xiao Lin's Horned Dragon Staff, even managing to land a few counterattacks.
If it weren't for the protection of his Vajra Imperishable soul power and his bold yet meticulous combat style, Xiao Lin would have long since been sent flying and defeated by Tang Ni.
