Chapter 577: Lv Lingqi VS Hailong Douluo
Hailong Douluo spoke arrogantly, but what he said was the truth; once soul power reaches Level 95, one enters another stage. Compared to a Level 94 Title Douluo, a Level 95 Title Douluo is a qualitative leap.
Like the Ju Gui Douluo of the Spirit Hall before, although they always claimed to the outside world that they were Level 95 Title Douluos, their actual levels were between 94 and 95, always missing that final step to become a Super Douluo.
Yet the Hailong Douluo before her was a genuine, solid Super Douluo expert.
"I certainly know of your strength, Senior, but I will never retreat easily. Please, Senior, offer me your guidance!" Lv Lingqi stood out and said.
"Although I don't know where you, little girl, get this inexplicable confidence, since Lord Sea God chose you as his successor, he must have his reasons. Very well, I will accept your challenge." Hailong Douluo released his martial soul directly. His body began to change; the blue dragon tattoo on his back shone brilliantly, and intense blue light instantly enveloped his body. Violent energy fluctuations surged forth in an instant, and in a flash, the seawater around the Shengzhutai rose into a giant wave simultaneously.
His bare upper body was rapidly covered by blue scales. The scales were circular, each with a raised ridge, and soon, all the exposed skin of Hailong Douluo was completely covered. His already sturdy body expanded a few notches, and an eye-like dark blue crystal emerged on his chest, with a faint, enormous blue dragon phantom appearing behind him.
Two yellow, two purple, and five black—nine spirit rings rose from beneath his feet.
With this tyrannical aura, the Hailong Douluo before her was clearly a Power Attack System Battle Soul Master. Extremely similar to Yu Tianxin, aside from the difference in attributes, this Sea Dragon martial soul was likely not much inferior to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.
Lv Lingqi's two yellow, two purple, three black, and one red spirit rings also floated up.
"You actually have a Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring! Seventh Soul Skill, Sea Dragon Avatar, Demon Breaking Domain." Hailong Douluo did not have the slightest bit of carelessness and directly activated his Spirit Avatar.
Even the Demon Breaking Domain was activated simultaneously; his domain ability was to break the opponent's domain effects. If the opponent had no domain, his domain would be equivalent to useless.
However, Lv Lingqi possessed the Ghost God Domain, so his domain could exert its effect, causing Lv Lingqi's Ghost God Domain to vanish into thin air.
Now that both sides were effectively without domain suppression, it became a pure clash of soul skills. On this point, both Hailong Douluo and Lv Lingqi had absolute confidence in themselves.
"Second Soul Skill, Ice Pillar Stab!"
Lv Lingqi made the first move, but she did not attack Hailong Douluo; instead, she slashed her halberd across the Sea God's Sea, freezing a large area of the sea surface.
This made Hailong Douluo's eyes light up; the little girl still had some combat intelligence, knowing to first remove the disadvantageous terrain. Although Hailong Douluo could not directly absorb the power of the ocean to strengthen himself like Sea Horse Douluo, he could still fight in the sea, which was extremely disadvantageous for Lv Lingqi, who was a Land Soul Master.
"Heh, little girl, good tactics. Then, old man is coming; be careful and receive this!" With a 'bang', Hailong Douluo kicked the ground heavily with his right foot, and the reaction force propelled his body toward Lv Lingqi like a cannonball.
As he exerted force, one could clearly see all the scales on his body stand up, just like sharp sawteeth. Intense blue light exploded and bloomed, merging with the effect of his spirit ring release, staining every part of his body with a layer of blue radiance. This was his Fifth Soul Skill, Divine Dragon Shaking Armor.
This soul skill could comprehensively improve Hailong Douluo's physical fitness. Hailong Douluo's entire body leaned forward, almost parallel to the ground during the pounce, maintaining a perfect streamlined shape, his right-hand sharp claws grabbing toward Lv Lingqi's shoulder.
Facing Hailong Douluo's attack, Lv Lingqi also displayed the high speed belonging to an Agility Attack System Spirit Master, the Feilian Halberd thrusting from the front toward Hailong Douluo's sharp claws.
The two sharp objects collided, and as they grazed past, faint sparks flashed across the halberd body and Hailong's sharp claws.
The two sides passed each other sideways, and Lv Lingqi immediately turned back, "First Soul Skill, Imperial Flying Knife!"
"Second Soul Skill, Deep Sea Cold Current!" Hailong Douluo was a Super Douluo, after all; his reaction speed was much faster than Sea Horse Douluo, and also a bit faster than Lingqi. His soul skill struck first. Lingqi's Mensa Liu could deal with Sea Horse Douluo, but it was difficult to deal with Hailong Douluo.
From the Sea Dragon's mouth, a stream of air filled with chill was sprayed out, capable of freezing an opponent's blood.
Facing this strike, Lv Lingqi was not panicked. It didn't matter if she was a second late in attacking, as long as she could execute it. The Cross Halberd's First Spirit Ring flickered, and the cold air that was about to hit Lingqi dissipated by more than half as it approached.
She used the Imperial Flying Knife not for the Mensa Liu; even if this move did not hit the opponent directly, it still had the ability to scatter the opponent's soul power.
No matter how strong Hailong Douluo's cold air was, it was ultimately composed of soul power.
With part of the soul power scattered, the power naturally decreased as well.
The Imperial Flying Knife passed through the cold current and struck Hailong Douluo's chest squarely, leaving a wound on his chest.
It was just that Hailong Douluo's defensive power was truly too strong; even for Lv Lingqi, it was difficult to severely injure him instantly.
However, this strike left four different reactions on his wound.
Burning, freezing, paralysis, and cutting.
"What?" Hailong Douluo clutched his chest, clearly caught off guard by this strike. "Fire, ice, lightning, wind—one martial soul actually has four attributes."
If it were said that even among top-level spirits there were distinctions of quality, then Lv Lingqi's Cross Flying Halberd was the top of the top, infinitely close to the level of a god-level martial soul.
"Fourth Soul Skill, Counter-Battle Golden Body!"
Lingqi took advantage of the moment Hailong Douluo was restricted by her four-attribute power to activate her golden body.
Previously, she was Level 89, and even with the Counter-Battle Golden Body's characteristic of becoming stronger when facing the strong, she could at most raise herself to the level of Level 93.
But now, she was a Quasi-Title Douluo, and her opponent was Hailong Douluo, who was much stronger than Sea Horse Douluo.
Lingqi's soul power and overall attributes began to rise; at this moment, she had reached a level comparable to Level 94, and her power was only a line behind Hailong Douluo.
As for physical fitness, although Lingqi was one spirit ring short of Hailong Douluo, she had a full four soul bones on her, one of which was a Ten-Thousand-Year one; such a small gap had long been made up for, or even surpassed.
"It seems I must finish this quickly. Eighth Soul Skill, Deep Sea Dragon King Transformation." Feeling that Lingqi at this moment was enough to pose a threat to him, Hailong Douluo strengthened himself again.
Through the triple amplification of the fifth, eighth, and Spirit Avatar, Hailong Douluo's strength increased again at this moment. With these three moves used in succession, he could even be stronger than a Level 96 Super Douluo for a short time.
