Chapter 242: Silver Rank Second Awakening

The two sides slightly pulled apart, then they moved together.

Weina had two yellow and two purple soul rings appear on her body, while Long Aotian was, as expected, a Soul Emperor powerhouse.

Moreover, he was no ordinary Soul Emperor; his soul ring configuration of one yellow, two purple, and three black—exceeding the norm—was enough to show his strength.

After Long Aotian's martial soul possessed him, his already tall body became even taller, his eyes blazing with light, and he charged at Tang Wulin without hesitation.

Although Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong both interested him, compared to the two, he definitely still preferred Tang Wulin.

That vigorous blood and qi aura was even stronger than that of an ordinary Honored Douluo, and even within the Body Sect, few could reach this level, making him full of curiosity about Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin's expression turned grave, four golden soul rings rose around him, his hands turned into dragon claws, and he met Long Aotian's attack.

With a clang, the dragon claw clearly struck Long Aotian's skin, yet it sounded like hitting steel; both retreated, and their eyes simultaneously turned serious.

In the instant of contact with Tang Wulin, Long Aotian only felt a surge of strange power that nearly dislocated his shoulder; knowing his strength was not inferior even to a Strong Attack System Soul Sage, being overpowered in strength by someone of lower cultivation was a first for him.

Tang Wulin, however, felt somewhat incredulous; this exchange revealed an abnormality in Long Aotian's body—his soul power and mental power were highly fused, faintly showing a trace of the Unity of Heaven and Man.

One must know that this is a realm only possible for an Honored Douluo-level powerhouse to comprehend, yet Long Aotian had already reached the threshold of the Unity of Heaven and Man.

A faint dragon's roar sounded, and a spear appeared in Tang Wulin's hand; he finally decided to go all out against Long Aotian.

He had a feeling that this battle would benefit him greatly.

On the other side, seeing Tang Wulin release his spear, Long Aotian's eyes lit up.

"Good!"

He could feel Tang Wulin's aura surging after releasing the spear; to him, the stronger the enemy, the more satisfied he was.

The first, second, and third soul rings lit up simultaneously; Long Aotian's body first expanded by a layer, then a golden light appeared on his skin, and finally his hands quickly transformed into two long blades.

Glancing at the two fighting fiercely, Huo Yutong turned her gaze to Weina.

During the Extreme Single Soldier Plan, she and Tang Wulin learned the member lists of various royal families; associating that with Weina just having brought Long Aotian into the imperial palace, if she still couldn't guess Weina's identity, she wouldn't be Huo Yutong.

Originally Huo Yutong intended to team up with Tang Wulin to deal with Long Aotian, but seeing the current state of the two, she gave up.

Tang Wulin and Long Aotian's current state was very familiar to her; when she first fought Ji Juechen, she had the same feeling.

Although she later encountered Ji Juechen again, she basically tried to stay as far away as possible, but at least during their first battle, she did not want anyone to disturb her.

If so, then she just needed to take care of Weina.

Weina's hand blossomed with an ice-blue lotus, emitting a soft light that enveloped Long Aotian.

Obviously, she was a support-system soul master, and under her assistance, Long Aotian could unleash even greater strength.

Huo Yutong stared at Weina, her eyes suddenly shooting out golden light; both were four-ring Soul Ancestors, and fully using Soul Impact could cause irreversible damage, so she used only about thirty percent of her mental power.

According to her estimate, thirty percent of her mental power was enough to incapacitate an ordinary Soul Ancestor.

But what happened exceeded Huo Yutong's expectations—when her Soul Impact struck Weina head-on, Weina merely swayed, her face flushing red, and she endured it. Huo Yutong couldn't help but blink in surprise; it seemed this princess was far stronger than she had anticipated.

In fact, Weina was far more surprised than she.

A silver light flashed in Weina's eyes as she forcibly suppressed the throbbing pain in her mind, and a hint of unwillingness flickered in her gaze.

Her martial soul was a top-tier Body Martial Soul Brain, and even among all spirit-system martial souls, it belonged to the strongest category.

But just now she felt suppressed by Huo Yutong in mental power, being overpowered in her strongest field by someone younger—this feeling was unpleasant.

But now she had no means of countering, after all not everyone has two martial souls simultaneously gaining soul rings like Huo Yutong does; currently Weina's Brain Martial Soul had no soul rings at all, making it impossible for her to rival Huo Yutong.

Seeing Huo Yutong's eyes flash gold again, Weina quickly raised her hand.

"I surrender."

Weina had surrendered, so Huo Yutong naturally wouldn't make things difficult for her; she turned her gaze to Tang Wulin and Long Aotian, watching their battle.

At this moment, Long Aotian was already tangled in combat with Tang Wulin; he heard Weina's surrender but paid it no mind, his focus now entirely on fighting Tang Wulin.

In terms of battle technique, he was more refined; in terms of soul power, his level was higher; in terms of realm, he believed he could overwhelm Tang Wulin, and it could be said that in most aspects he was superior to Tang Wulin.

Yet he could do nothing against Tang Wulin.

The reason he understood was that Tang Wulin's physical quality was simply too formidable.

Just now his hand, transformed into a long blade, slashed at Tang Wulin's body, but Tang Wulin didn't dodge at all, directly using Golden Dragon Body to reinforce his defense and taking the blow head-on.

Conversely, Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon Spear gave Long Aotian an intense sense of crisis; this divine weapon was extremely sharp, and Long Aotian, who had already probed the threshold of Unity of Heaven and Man, had an acute sense of danger—he had no doubt that if he were struck, he would be instantly pierced.

With such a huge gap in offensive and defensive capabilities, tactics could hardly sway the battle; Tang Wulin could be said to be demonstrating the meaning of "one force reduces ten" through his own actions.

Continuing like this would definitely mean his defeat.

Realizing this, Long Aotian not only felt no disappointment but instead showed an excited smile; he slammed his hands down, and while the White Giant Hand repelled Tang Wulin, he also retreated like lightning.

He said to Tang Wulin with a smile, "Very good, you're strong, but be careful next—I'm about to go all out."

Upon hearing that, Tang Wulin braced his spear, assumed a stance, and took a deep breath.

"Come on."

"Good!"

Long Aotian didn't hesitate; a silver-white phantom appeared behind him, exactly the Silver Rank Body Martial Soul Second Awakening.

By the way, take a close look—the composition of these two groups is quite similar.

They are both: the male side excels in physical techniques, the female side possesses mental power with an ice attribute.
