Douluo Huo Yuhao: My Clone is Too Self-Disciplined

"Teacher, I'm just a Soul Saint. How could I possibly participate in a battle of this level? Leave the fighting to Xiao Qing. I'll just watch from here. If I get too close, even the slightest aura they unleash will be enough to crush me."

Jing Hongchen snorted upon hearing this, "You do have some self-awareness, but..." Jing Hongchen paused, then continued, "When did you become so fragile? Crushed at the slightest touch?"

Knowing that Jing Hongchen was mocking him, the second-best in the world stopped spending money and just watched quietly, ignoring his ramblings.

Only those unfamiliar with Jing Hongchen would think he is aloof and cold. In reality, Jing Hongchen is not only arrogant but also extremely talkative.

They can often get bogged down in a brilliant idea that's second to none for half a day.

But all that is in the past. Things have changed, and the master and disciple can never go back.

Seeing that the second-best in the world no longer wanted to talk to him, Jing Hongchen also felt very bored.

On the other hand, neither wind nor poison can overcome the other. Both elements are quite strong, but they do not have a restraining relationship with each other.

So who has a better chance of winning now? It all depends on who has the stronger physical attributes.

The arrogant Jing Hongchen no longer paid attention to the battle. He felt quite at ease having the second-best person in the world watching over him. Although this guy was quite ambitious, he was very reliable.

Even if he were facing a level 98 Super Douluo, Jing Hongchen didn't think this cunning guy would be in any danger.

Therefore, Jing Hongchen could only turn his attention to those Soul Masters.

After all, he brought them here; they can't all die, can they?

At this moment, Du Busi was delayed and unable to extricate himself. Facing the leaderless members of the Body Sect, Jing Hongchen felt much more confident.

With his Martial Soul True Body attached to him, the giant toad had no wasted legs; each leg was equipped with a massive Soul-Guided Cannon, from which terrifying flames erupted.

Its firepower is extremely strong.

Moreover, Jing Hongchen is a very experienced level nine soul master, and his use of soul tools can be described as consummate. His soul tool launches are also quite accurate.

Each soul-guided cannonball was aimed at a Title Douluo of the Body Sect, and it was virtually flawless.

These fixed-position soul-guided shells all exploded on the bodies of these Title Douluo of the Body Sect, causing excessive damage.

The titled Douluo of the Body Sect dodged one after another. They were already expending a lot of energy, and they were clearly unable to resist at this moment.

This is where the advantages of a Soul Master become apparent.

With the help of powerful soul tools, one can maneuver and delay the enemy; the longer the time goes on, the more obvious the advantage becomes.

Having been suppressed for so long, Jing Hongchen was now extremely relieved, freely unleashing the cannonballs in his hands.

The second-best person in the world saved his soul beast embryo from 100,000 years ago, which directly saved him more than 400 million.

Therefore, Jing Hongchen wouldn't mind expending even more resources, as he considered it a gain. Under the powerful firepower, the Title Douluo within the human body was steadily defeated.

Jing Hongchen successfully retrieved the disheveled level nine soul masters and tossed them together.

……

Although Jing Hongchen's face was full of disgust at the moment, she couldn't ignore it after all.

These people are, after all, level nine soul masters of the Sun Moon Empire. They are skilled in research and produce a large number of powerful soul tools for the empire every year. Without their research, the empire would not be so prosperous, would it?

Although Jing Hongchen considered these people unsuitable for important positions, they at least couldn't fall into the hands of the Body Sect, as it would damage the nation's prestige and the reputation of his Mingde Hall.

So, the proud and arrogant Master Mingde still decided to lend a hand and saved them all.

After escaping, the core members of Mingde Hall bowed to Jing Hongchen in gratitude. They were all in a sorry state, looking like they had just escaped death, which made Jing Hongchen even more disgusted.

At this moment, Jing Hongchen felt a sense of satisfaction. He couldn't defeat Du Busi, and he couldn't deal with the other members of the Body Sect. He couldn't beat your leader, but could he not beat them?

Jing Hongchen is, after all, the head of the Mingde Hall, a super Douluo with a cultivation level of ninety-eight! Don't underestimate him, he's a bastard.

Thinking this, Jing Hongchen's cannonballs increased rather than decreased, and his whole body was like a terrifying steel torrent, frantically unleashing raging fire serpents.

Meanwhile, Poison Immortal and Wind Dragon were also locked in a fierce battle. The two fought with deadly force, each blow landing squarely on the ground. Although Poison Immortal was smaller than Wind Dragon, his strength was in no way inferior. Poison Immortal's body had not increased in size, but it had changed from dark green to a shimmering black, and his entire body was like a piece of silver steel, radiating light and even shimmering under the moonlight.

Although Du Bush's physique remained unchanged, his aura was far stronger than before. Despite having depleted most of his soul power and suffering severe injuries, his current aura far surpassed his usual level, approaching the level of a Limit Douluo. It was clear that Du Bush hadn't used any fancy techniques; he had simply used the second awakening of his martial soul—a trump card unique to the Body Sect's Body Martial Soul. Du Bush's second awakening started at the Silver level.

After he cultivated to level 90, he absorbed a spirit ring and broke through to the Title Douluo level, gaining another chance for awakening. He became a Gold-level Second Awakener. However, Soul Masters of the Body Sect generally use Second Awakening from low to high levels. An eighth-grade Second Awakening can use a Bronze-level Second Awakening, or it can use the Second Awakening of an eighth-grade student.
Gold-level second awakening is highly flammable. One can directly activate the Gold-level second awakening, or only activate the Silver-level, or even the Bronze-level, second awakening. This is determined based on the enemy's strength over ten years, as the consumption of energy for a second awakening of the main body's martial soul is extremely high. The higher the awakening level, the more energy is consumed.
The more severe the backlash from expending the energy of Yueju Opera after disengaging from combat, the more devastating the consequences will be. After all, a Gold-level second awakening increases one's strength by a full three times—a threefold increase in an instant. In battles of the same level, this is the most lethal weapon against the enemy, a trump card that can instantly turn the tide of battle.

Therefore, the consumption was also enormous. The boss did not immediately use the Gold-level Second Awakening. Although using the Gold-level Second Awakening would instantly triple his cultivation, he did not believe that tripled cultivation would be enough to defeat this fully armed wind dragon. Instead, he would be at a disadvantage due to the depletion of his soul power.
Ultimately, this very action exposed his weakness, which his opponent seized upon, allowing them to defeat him and cause his efforts to fail. Although using the Silver-Gold Second Awakening only doubled his strength, the cost was half that of the Gold-level Second Awakening, making it the most cost-effective. Fortunately, he didn't use the Gold-level Second Awakening, but only the Silver-level one.
That's why Poison Immortal and the Wind Dragon were locked in such a stalemate. Even so, Poison Immortal was still deeply shocked. This Wind Dragon's strength was simply outrageous, far beyond what one would expect from a 100,000-year-old disease, even with the full set of soul tools.

Its combat power couldn't have increased so terrifyingly. To die on foot from this wind dragon, having smelled the aura of a super ferocious beast, it was no less powerful than the super killers of the Star Dou Great Forest. Even an ordinary Limit Douluo could be dealt with by this wind dragon.

It seems that although the Sun Moon Empire doesn't have any powerful Soul Masters now and probably never will, they've taken a different approach, starting with Soul Beasts. They want to use the power of Soul Beasts to bridge the gap in high-end combat strength. I have to say, they're truly geniuses.

The wind dragon before him was a perfect example; it could actually fight him to a standstill, which was truly defying the heavens. Poison Undying wasn't an arrogant person, but he was well aware of his own strength, so he was never humble. He admitted defeat today, despite his fever, but the wind dragon before him had to die. Thinking this, Poison Undying raised his silver-black arm once more, quickly condensing a powerful green vortex in his hand, filled with poisonous gas. Then, Poison Undying swung it towards the wind dragon's chest.

After a fierce battle, many of Feng Long's defensive soul tools had been shattered. After all, Poison Undying was no pushover. While the defensive soul tools given to him by the Second Strongest in the World were powerful and offered astonishing defense, his opponent was ultimately Poison Undying, whose combat strength was second only to a Limit Douluo. Under Poison Undying's terrifying spiritual power, a third of Feng Long's soul tools were nearly destroyed, and the rest, even if not completely destroyed, were practically ruined, their performance extremely poor, only able to maintain the most basic defensive function. Therefore, facing Poison Undying, Feng Long lacked effective defensive measures. In close combat, Poison Undying quickly gained the upper hand.

With a single palm strike, the wind dragon's chest shattered instantly, accompanied by several cracking sounds. Then, the indestructible rooster struck the wind dragon's chest again, black poison seeping into his skin. Feeling the pain, the wind dragon howled to the sky, his body trembling violently, and wind elements raged in all directions.
A series of fierce wind blades appeared, frantically slicing through Poison Undying's massive body. The previous attack had already condensed, and Poison Undying had almost all of his remaining soul power; his soul power was nearly exhausted.

Faced with such a terrifying attack, it was naturally impossible to resist.
