Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is Ray, I come with the storm!

Page 112

Red, a 100,000-year soul ring!

When the seventh spirit ring, that platinum spirit ring that was clearly abnormal, appeared, Niu Gao was no longer aware of the world. He even began to doubt whether there was something wrong with his own perception.

"What a monster!"

"However, I would like to see just how strong the monsters of this era really are."

Niu Gao licked his dry lips and spoke in a somewhat hoarse voice.

"First Soul Skill: Dramatic Increase!"

"Second Soul Skill: Strike Enhancement!"

Fourth Soul Skill: Ironclad Stomp!

As a defensive-type Soul Douluo, Niu Gao's Soul Skills are mostly amplification skills that increase his own defense and attack.

His first and second soul skills were the same; as he made his move, his aura began to increase continuously.

With the activation of his fourth soul skill, he threw a punch.

That blow was like a giant rhinoceros trampling, its terrifying weight directly crushing down on Lu Yuan.

"Well done!"

Looking at Niu Gao, who was like a large truck and seemed to be using him as a speed bump, Lu Yuan had no intention of backing down and threw a punch at him head-on.

…………

I just got back from the city. My elderly relative's health is deteriorating rapidly. Tragic...

Chapter 186 Fist Shakes Niu Gao

Upon seeing Lu Yuan's actions, Niu Gao's expression immediately darkened, and his eyes blazed with fury.

He was, after all, a level 84 Soul Douluo, yet he was being underestimated like this. Facing him, who had used three Soul Skills in a row, Lu Yuan, a mere Soul Saint, actually intended to fight him head-on with his physical body. It was simply outrageous!

But as the two collided, Niu Gao's expression immediately changed!

boom!

The violent soul power scattered in all directions, and a figure staggered backward, falling several times before finally regaining his balance.

Niu Gao's face was grim, because in the exchange just now, he hadn't even managed to make Lu Yuan's body sway. In fact, if the other party hadn't held back, he might have been sent flying.

How could he not be surprised? From this first collision, Niu Gao could already tell that Lu Yuan's physical strength was definitely no weaker than any Title Douluo.

He might even be stronger than those newly promoted Title Douluo. No wonder Tang Hao had to swallow his pride and launch a sneak attack. His talent is truly astonishing.

Even though Niu Gao wasn't a titled Douluo, he still dared to guarantee that as long as Lu Yuan could grow in peace, there would probably be another peak powerhouse on the continent in at most twenty years.

Thinking about this, he suddenly felt less resistant to joining Lu Yuan's Wind and Thunder Valley.

Just as Lu Yuan said, the atmosphere on the continent is currently turbulent, with constant friction between forces. A second-rate force like their Yu Clan, which doesn't even have a Title Douluo, might face certain death and extinction in the future if they are not careful.

Joining Fenglei Valley might not be a bad thing. In fact, Fenglei Valley already has Dugu Bo, a titled Douluo. If Lu Yuan can grow up in peace in the future, there will be two titled Douluos.

This strength is already comparable to that of the current Eight Treasure Glazed Tile School. Moreover, Poison Douluo is the most unique Title Douluo on this continent, and no one dares to provoke him easily.

Even if it meant the entire clan had to submit, Niu Gao wanted to see just how strong Lu Yuan's potential really was, so let's fight!

"Seventh Soul Skill: Giant Rhinoceros True Form!"

Sixth Soul Skill: Ironclad Dance!

Niu Gao, like a gorilla, was frantically pounding his chest when a massive, armored rhinoceros, about twenty or thirty meters tall, appeared behind him.

After activating his Martial Soul True Form, his muscles began to increase dramatically, and his height also increased dramatically. If Niu Gao was like a door panel before, Niu Gao was like a small mountain now. The leather clothes made of special soul beast skin were also cracking inch by inch as Niu Gao's body grew taller.

That heavy and terrifying aura continued to press down on Lu Yuan, making the area in front of the Yu Clan's gate heavy and oppressive, as if each Soul Master was carrying a small mountain on their back.

Some Soul Masters of the Imperial Clan who were not yet Soul Kings almost collapsed to their knees.

Lu Yuan also felt the pressure emanating from Niu Gao, but this slight pressure did not have much of an impact on him. His body only trembled slightly, and he immediately relieved himself of the pressure.

"First Soul Skill: Lightning and Thunder!"

Lu Yuan looked at Niu Gao, who was charging towards him like a tank, and his eyes flashed with excitement.

Dark clouds rapidly gathered in the sky, and a large amount of thunderstorm began to condense in his hands. At the same time, the lightning beneath the dark clouds seemed to have a mind of its own, and began to fall continuously towards Niu Gao's head.

As bolts of lightning continued to strike, Niu Gao's tank-like figure stiffened slightly, and his body was covered in charred soot.

Niu Gao, who was constantly charging towards Lu Yuan, was now being relentlessly struck by lightning, and his expression immediately turned ugly.

Although the lightning that fell from the sky did not cause him much damage, its paralyzing properties still slowed his movements somewhat.

What truly threatened him was the lightning storm that Lu Yuan was constantly gathering in his hand. The lightning storm that was constantly gathering in his hand was full of destructive aura, and just feeling it made people tremble in their hearts.

It's astonishing that a mere first-level soul skill possesses such immense power!

Although Niu Gao was shocked, he did not retreat immediately. He had great confidence in his defense. But when the two collided, a storm was stirred up.

The surge of soul power directly cracked the ground, causing bricks and stones to fly everywhere, and debris to fly incessantly. The collision of flesh against flesh produced a series of dull thuds.

Each time Lu Yuan's fist landed, it shook Niu Gao's entire body, and blood trickled from his mouth.

Feeling his blood and qi being forced back by each punch, Niu Gao almost coughed up blood. The destructive aura emanating from Lu Yuan's fists made it difficult for him to move, forcing him to become a punching bag, passively taking hits as Lu Yuan continued to strike. What kind of power was this? A mere number one soul skill had actually made him so embarrassed.

Some Soul Masters from the Yu Clan who were watching the battle from a distance looked on in horror and disbelief as they saw their clan leader being beaten like a sandbag.

Their clan leader is a Soul Douluo, and one of the most defensive Soul Douluos at that. Yet he's being beaten like a punching bag. You wouldn't say it's evenly matched, but the current situation is far too one-sided.

Eighth Soul Skill: Guardian!

Niu Gao's whole body trembled uncontrollably. He could no longer bear it and immediately used his last trump card.

As a huge black spirit ring flashed, Niu Gao's body was instantly coated with gold paint, his defense increased dramatically, and his body, which had been paralyzed by lightning, was no longer affected. He then threw a punch directly at Lu Yuan!

Niu Gao's eighth soul skill, Guardian, also increases his defense, but unlike the others, when he uses this soul skill, he gains a state similar to invincibility.

Although not as overpowered as the Invincible Golden Body, it is still not to be underestimated. Even for a typical power-attack type Soul Douluo, it would be quite difficult to break through it with brute force. At this moment, Lu Yuan's first Soul Skill, which condensed the Thunderstorm, only made him tremble continuously, but it was no longer possible to seriously injure him.

Despite Niu Gao's relentless punches, Lu Yuan remained unfazed, simply meeting his fists head-on, their bodies colliding repeatedly.

After exchanging dozens of punches, the two finally retreated.

It was at this moment that Lu Yuan finally used his other soul skills once again!

Fifth Soul Skill: Instant Thunder Flash!

Chapter 187 Defeating Niu Gao, the Master-Recognition Turmoil

Lightning crackled around Lu Yuan's body, and his standing figure vanished instantly.

Upon seeing this, Niu Gao immediately froze in place, looking around warily at Lu Yuan who had suddenly disappeared.

Instant Thunder Flash is Ray's signature move, one of the fastest techniques. Now, he vanishes instantly, and his aura disappears completely.

Even a Soul Douluo like Niu Gao could hardly detect him at this moment. Only when Lu Yuan appeared completely in front of him did he finally notice him.

But it was too late. Endless lightning, along with Lu Yuan, crashed directly into Niu Gao's body.

That mountain-sized body was suddenly sent flying by Lu Yuan's punch, his defenses easily torn apart like a piece of paper.

Blood gushed from his mouth, and he flew backwards like a tattered sack.

Lu Yuan's expression remained unchanged, and his figure vanished once again in a flash. When he reappeared, he was like a ghost standing in front of Niu Gao.

A spear formed from lightning was now pressed against Niu Gao's neck; with just a slight exertion, it could pierce through his neck.

"Senior Niu Gao, thank you very much for your guidance this time!"

Lu Yuan looked at Niu Gao, who was lying on the ground and hadn't even recovered from the shock yet, and spoke calmly.

"Truly worthy of being the junior favored by His Majesty Poison Douluo, such talent is truly terrifying!"

"Such talent is far inferior to that legendary figure from the Haotian Sect."

"Indeed, the new generation surpasses the old, each wave stronger than the last. I am no match for you."

Niu Gao finally snapped out of his disbelief and looked at Lu Yuan with admiration in his eyes.

As a defensive-type Soul Douluo, Niu Gao deeply understood what it meant that Lu Yuan could defeat him at such a young age, and even so easily.

That completely represents the combat power of a Title Douluo, and signifies the true significance of standing at the pinnacle of the continent.

Taking a deep breath, Niu Gao stood up again, looking at Lu Yuan with complete admiration.

As the clan leader, Niu Gao had often considered the future of his family over the years, but the fact that he was treated as a pawn and casually abandoned after joining the Haotian Sect still bothered him deeply.

This is why, over the years, he has frequently received invitations from various sects, but he has always declined them.

But at this moment, Niu Gao saw a completely different charm in Lu Yuan.

At such a young age and with such strength, he could even be favored by many Title Douluos. Such a person is worth investing in and worth following for the Yu Clan!

"I won't say more, but if Senior Niu Gao is willing to join my Wind and Thunder Valley, he can not only become an elder directly, but also enjoy the best resources and treatment. I even guarantee that you may become a Title Douluo in the future."

Lu Yuan was never one to make empty promises; as long as the other party did what he wanted, he would give them whatever they asked for.

As for making Niu Gao a titled Douluo, this is not a joke. Although Niu Gao's potential has been exhausted at his age, immortal herbs can greatly enhance potential.

Niu Gao, who is at level 84, has an innate soul power of at least level 7 or even higher. Although a single immortal herb cannot directly raise his soul power to the level of a Title Douluo, it can more than enough to enhance his potential and allow him to reach the level of a Title Douluo within the next few decades!

"Join Wind and Thunder Valley!"

"Alright, I join you. From this day forward, I, Niu Gao, will officially serve you as my master. You are the one I will be loyal to for the rest of my life!"

Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Niu Gao did not hesitate or remain silent for a moment. He immediately knelt down on one knee in front of Lu Yuan.

Niu Gao's kneeling before Lu Yuan not only surprised Lu Yuan, but also made all the members of the Yu clan suspicious and uneasy.

The Yu clan knew exactly how proud their patriarch was, having rejected invitations from numerous powerful forces. Yet today, he was kneeling respectfully before a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy.

Although this young man was exceptionally strong, even astonishingly so, it was still difficult for many Soul Masters of the Yu Clan to accept.

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, who were standing to the side, were momentarily stunned when they saw Ni Tian kneeling directly in front of Lu Yuan and calling him master. However, they quickly recovered.

One by one, they rushed to Lu Yuan's side, looking at him with great admiration.

“Senior Niu Gao, why bother? I have never done anything like taking people in as servants.”

Lu Yuan was speechless as he looked at Niu Gao kneeling at his feet. He had never thought of taking Niu Gao as his servant.

His purpose in coming to the Yu Clan was merely to get Niu Gao and the Yu Clan to join the Wind and Thunder Valley. As for having someone serve him, he never even considered it.

"No, since you have decided to join the Wind and Thunder Valley, as long as you do not let down my Yu clan, my clan will definitely serve you as an object of service for all living beings!"

"Therefore, Master, you must not refuse my request. If you do, then I, Niu Gao, will take it as Master looking down on me!"

Niu Gao's gaze was sincere, and his tone was extremely respectful. He looked at Lu Yuan with longing, as if he really didn't want Lu Yuan to refuse him.

His expression left Lu Yuan both amused and exasperated.

Who would so eagerly claim someone as their master? This Niu Gao truly deserves to be friends with Titan.

"Please, Master, do not refuse my request, otherwise my Yu clan will never join the Wind and Thunder Valley!"

Seeing that Lu Yuan seemed to still have the idea of ​​refusing, Niu Gao became very anxious and immediately spoke up in a harsh voice.

Lu Yuan was speechless. He looked at Niu Gao and really didn't understand why the other party insisted on making him his master.

"Lu Yuan, why don't you just agree?"

Dugu Yan suddenly leaned closer to Lu Yuan, tugged at his clothes, and whispered her advice.

Niu Gao is a powerful Soul Douluo, so even if Dugu Yan whispers, how could she possibly hide it from him?

Upon hearing Dugu Yan speak, he couldn't help but cast a grateful glance at her.

The reason for acknowledging Lu Yuan as their master was simply to find a powerful backer for the Yu clan in the future.

Although it's shameful for Contra to recognize him as its master, Lu Yuan's current strength is enough for him to shamelessly do so.

Dugu Yan's words at this moment hit him right where it hurts.

“Yes, Lu Yuan, why don’t you agree to Senior Niu Gao’s request?”

"Isn't it a bit inappropriate to keep him kneeling like this?"

Ye Lingling tugged at Lu Yuan's sleeve and whispered words of comfort.
