Douluo: Not enough blood? Use your brain

Boom!

The small hill shattered, but at its core, Long Yue remained unharmed; it seemed only the edges of the mountain had crumbled.

Xu Yuan's figure, however, was sent flying backward, tumbling several times in the air before regaining control and barely managing to land on his feet.

Xu Yuan gasped for breath.

He was currently in a somewhat disheveled state; the force of the previous blow had left him feeling numb all over, and he could feel immense pressure grinding between his bones.

His eyes blazed with intense fighting spirit.

Strictly speaking, it had been a long time since Xu Yuan had experienced a battle that was so evenly matched, or even one where he was at such a complete disadvantage.

Indeed, a disadvantage.

Even with his full power unleashed, Xu Yuan was still inferior to Long Yue.

This was even considering the boost he received from his Forbidden Arts Seven Absolutes, and the suppression it exerted on Long Yue.

Even after being weakened, the power Long Yue unleashed was still stronger than Xu Yuan's when amplified.

One could only imagine Long Yue's true strength.

Of course, Long Yue himself possessed the Mountain Dragon King martial soul, with a soul power exceeding level sixty, making him a genuine Soul Emperor, and he was also a Two-Word Battle Armor Master, so it was only natural that he would suppress Xu Yuan.

It was only thanks to Xu Yuan's Forbidden Arts Seven Absolutes that he managed to close the gap between them by one rank.

Even so, they were still separated by the amplification provided by a complete Two-Word Battle Armor.

The eruption of the Flame of Life and the power of his bloodline were only one aspect; the seamless integration of the Heavenly Origin Five Elements Spear's various soul skills, allowing him to unleash a truly peak strike, was another.

Only then could Xu Yuan contend with Long Yue.

His all-out ultimate move could only contend with Long Yue's basic attack!

Of course, Long Yue's strongest point was indeed his basic attack.

Even with numerous soul skills, they were not as effective for the Mountain Dragon King as a simple punch.

Manipulating mountains and rivers was merely a means to land that punch on his enemy.

And any enemy who could not be dealt with by his mountains and rivers was not worth his effort to punch.

Xu Yuan was being suppressed.

In the Shrek Academy box.

Everyone felt a sense of oppression in their hearts.

No matter how confident Xu Yuan had been before, he was now clearly on the defensive.

Even his mecha had been forced to be canceled.

At this moment, his strength was only enough to contend with Long Yue, but he was being completely overwhelmed throughout the entire fight.

Long Yue landed, like a massive meteor crashing into the earth.

Rumbling sounds echoed as the mountains and rivers shifted, and Xu Yuan had to quickly borrow strength again before unleashing another burst of power.

A spear strike that pierced the heavens and the earth.

The ultimate spear light illuminated the entire arena; at that moment, the audience only saw this one spear.

However, the spear light quickly dimmed, obscured by a massive mountain.

Boom!

Xu Yuan was sent flying again, this time skimming along the ground, his body colliding with the protruding rocks.

Fortunately, his physical fitness was extremely high, and his blood and Qi were vigorous, so these injuries did not affect him much.

He tore off his shirt, and wisps of blood trickled down as crimson and cyan flames rose from his body.

In the Shrek Academy box.

"Will class monitor lose?" Wu Siduo asked worriedly.

Although losing to this Long Yue at this point would not be considered shameful, she could not accept the defeat of Xu Yuan, who had always been invincible in her eyes.

Tang Wulin and the others also wore solemn expressions, carefully watching the progress of the match.

Xu Yuan had already unleashed his peak spear techniques, yet he was still being suppressed.

"He hasn't used his fifth soul skill yet," Gu Yue said calmly, reminding everyone.

She looked at Xu Yuan on the arena, focusing on Xu Yuan's fifth, distinctly crimson-marked black soul ring.

Chapter 273: Born to Fight!

Following Gu Yue's gaze, everyone looked at Xu Yuan's fifth soul ring.

That's right!

Xu Yuan had always been overwhelmingly strong in their minds, and after Xu Yuan obtained his fifth soul skill, they had subconsciously overlooked this point, even though they had never seen Xu Yuan use it.

So, what exactly was the effect of this fifth soul skill?

Gu Yue stared intently at Xu Yuan's fifth soul ring.

Intuition told her that this soul skill was the key to Xu Yuan reversing the situation.

Not just in this battle, but she also felt intuitively that this soul skill might have a certain restraining effect on her as well.

What exactly is this soul skill?

That can influence me?

Gu Yue wondered in her heart.

Long Yue stared at Xu Yuan, his eyes becoming increasingly bloodshot.

His rationality had not returned, and his bloodline fluctuations were becoming more intense; the terrifying dragon might was already subtly affecting the surrounding elemental energy.

It was no longer a pure oppression of will, but mixed with the power of the elements, using the power of heaven and earth to influence his enemy.

Xu Yuan remained unfazed; at this moment, no matter how powerful Long Yue's dragon might was, his control over the power of heaven and earth was still inferior to his own.

Whether it was the Forbidden Arts Seven Absolutes or the assistance of Xu Yuan's dreamscape, they both allowed him to have a higher degree of control over heaven and earth.

Unfortunately, this "high" also had a limit; the closer he got to this limit, the more difficult Xu Yuan's progress became, but there was no doubt that Long Yue's control over the power of heaven and earth through his dragon might was still far behind Xu Yuan.

However, with Long Yue's progress, perhaps there was a chance to break through this limit?

Xu Yuan recalled that his teacher in the original story seemed to have been intimidated by Tang Wulin's dragon might.

Perhaps it was because at that moment, the dragon might's control over the power of heaven and earth exceeded his usual control over heaven and earth through the integration of his spirit, Qi, and essence, which slightly affected him.

This limit still greatly affected the upper limit of the Forbidden Arts Seven Absolutes.

To solve this problem, exploring the Abyss plane was imperative!

Xu Yuan reaffirmed his belief in establishing a fixed passage to the Abyss plane on Sea God Island.

Long Yue roared to the sky, then once again transformed into mountains and rivers and charged towards Xu Yuan.

The ground undulated, and the mountains and rivers in his hands were like toys; he seemed to be the creator of the continent, kneading it at will.

Xu Yuan found it quite difficult to cope with such an environment, but he could only continue to deal with it in this way.

The flames of Qi and blood intertwined with the power of life, erupting with a dazzling light at the tip of his spear.

During the battle, Xu Yuan gradually integrated the power of the stars into his spear techniques once more.

His limit was breaking through bit by bit.

The power of the stars was the most primitive force in the universe; after being absorbed by various planes, it was converted into the internal energy of the plane, for example, Douluo Star absorbed the most primitive power of the stars and converted it into the elemental energy belonging to Douluo Star, supplying the internal operation of the plane.

Of course, some of the power of the stars could not be completely digested and continued to fall in the form of star-attributed energy in various parts of the continent, absorbed by life forms with star attributes, or gathered into natural places rich in the power of the stars.

Among them, many primitive energies of the power of the stars were refined, but the star attribute itself still possessed a stronger power than ordinary attributes.

Previously, Xu Yuan had also been trying to integrate the star attribute into his spear techniques.

In fact, he had made good progress in this.

After all, he was born with a spear martial soul, and the jade silver in his body possessed a bit of the star factor, so integrating the power of the stars into his spear techniques had already been completed.

However, the combination of the star attribute with the eruption of Qi and blood, and even the power of life, had never been successful.

Now, under Long Yue's pressure, Xu Yuan had to seek a breakthrough.

"Come!"

Xu Yuan's eyes were bright, just like when he first entered the Spirit Ascension Platform to fight.

This was a battle.

This was the feeling of hot blood.

A spear should sublimate in battle.

Born to fight, until death do us part!

A spear technique without battle has no soul.

Xu Yuan not only integrated the three energies in his spear technique more harmoniously, but also improved his footwork, adapting to the changes in the mountains and rivers, and even predicting the movement of the earth under his feet.

At this moment, he was in tune with heaven and earth, as if possessing the ability to predict.

His brain at this moment seemed to have many branches, some responsible for controlling the battle, some responsible for observing the surrounding terrain changes, some for prediction and deduction, and some for decision-making.

The improvement to Xu Yuan after the second awakening of his brain martial soul was passive; it was not that he could only use the ability to multitask by using his brain martial soul.

Xu Yuan's spear became faster and faster, sharper and sharper, and its penetrating effect became stronger and stronger.

Besides Long Yue, who was fighting Xu Yuan, only the Shrek Academy people could see it.

The rest of the audience could only see that Xu Yuan had been suppressed all the time, each spear erupting to the extreme and colliding with Long Yue, but only to be sent flying out, stabilizing his body and then confronting Long Yue again.

Of course, as time passed, someone finally discovered the problem.

"This Xu Yuan, can't he be killed?"

How many collisions have there been?

Each time, the burning fluctuations of Qi, blood, and life force outside Xu Yuan's body were not fake; they were genuine life aura, and each peak spear strike was not an ordinary spear, but an eruption that condensed all his spirit, Qi, and essence.

However, why had he performed it dozens of times?

Each time, he was bombarded by Long Yue's terrifying power, sent flying, rolling and rubbing on the ground, and the injuries he suffered should have become more and more serious.

Why did he now seem to have a stronger momentum than at the beginning?

Enci felt it most clearly.

He was the strongest person present and had the clearest feeling of Xu Yuan's eruption.

"It is indeed the Flame of Life; he has burned his life force, but he can persist for so long."

Enci's face was solemn.

What kind of freak is this?

Has life force become as cheap as soul power and Qi and blood force to this Xu Yuan?

No, even soul power and Qi and blood force cannot withstand such an eruption!

In terms of soul power, it can be temporarily assumed that Xu Yuan has the energy of the spirit alloy integrated into his body to replace the consumption, but now Xu Yuan is burning the power of Qi and blood and life force!

Enci looked at Xu Yuan, seemingly trying to explore Xu Yuan's secrets.

However, no matter how he observed, he could not see where Xu Yuan's life force and Qi and blood force came from.

To be precise, Xu Yuan's life force and Qi and blood force seemed to completely belong to him, gushing out from his body.

As if inexhaustible.

Xu Yuan had a flash of insight.

He thrust out a spear.

This spear was as fast as light.

A spear must be fast!

A bolt of lightning flashed across the arena, across the mountains and rivers, rumbling and piercing through the mountains, repelling the rivers, and heading straight for Long Yue.
