Douluo: Twins of Fate

Chapter 14: Buddha's Angry Lotus! Beggars' Edition
"What do you think?" Xiao Hongchen rolled his eyes.

Jiang Shengyu touched his nose and said, "It seems that's not necessary. We know each other well and we'll see each other every day. It would be quite embarrassing if we had hot pot together after making such harsh remarks."

Xiao Hongchen didn't waste any time talking to Jiang Shengyu. He immediately released his martial spirit. A gilded halo appeared around him, and the three-legged golden toad martial spirit emerged, with four spirit rings, two yellow and two purple, pulsing rhythmically.

Soul rings with the best ratio are rare even in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.

Jiang Shengyu's eyes were stern, and he opened his hands, activating his martial spirit. A crescent moon, like rippling water, unfolded behind him, and two spirit rings, one purple and one black, appeared.

Jiang Shengyu rarely shows his martial soul in front of others. Most of the students and teachers at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy only know that he is extremely talented, has innate full soul power, and his first soul ring is at the thousand-year level.

As for his specific strength, it has never been demonstrated.

Now, when people saw the second-ranked ten thousand year soul ring, many in the audience gasped and contributed to cooling the environment.

Students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy are already talented if they can maintain the best ratio at the position of the third soul ring. Now, seeing that Jiang Shengyu's second soul ring is already at the ten thousand year level, they are more clearly aware of the gap between themselves and the real genius!
"Your soul ring..." Xiao Hongchen frowned as he looked at Jiang Shengyu's ten thousand year soul ring.

"Surprised?" Jiang Shengyu asked with a smile, and said, "But you are a Soul Sect, you have more soul skills and soul power than me, so there is no need to be nervous."

Xiao Hongchen snorted, put away the two purple spirit rings, and said, "It's just a ten thousand year spirit ring, what's the big deal! I promised to only use the first two spirit skills, and I won't break my promise."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Hongchen's second soul ring lit up, and he used the soul skill Boiling Gold, which put all the soul power in his body into a boiling state and amplified all his strength.

Jiang Shengyu raised his hand, and his first soul ring lit up. A dark, void-devouring flame rose from his palm, its blazing heat instantly distorting the light around it. He then raised his left hand, and another flame of a different color lit up, a jade-colored flame like glass.

This was Jiang Shengyu's second soul skill, the Pure Lotus Demon Fire! He and Jiang Qingtong both had their skill trees selected Borrow and Steal respectively.

Xiao Hongchen scattered another pile of metal particles, used his first soul skill, Metal Control, to control them, gathered them into spikes, and attacked Jiang Shengyu.

But in front of the two balls of strange fire in Jiang Shengyu's left and right hands, no amount of metal would be of any use.

The hard metal spikes were swallowed by the fire dragon swung by Jiang Shengyu and were directly evaporated under the scorching temperature!

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao finally understood why Xiao Hongchen had challenged Jiang Shengyu so many times but never gained the upper hand. His spirit abilities were completely suppressed by Jiang Shengyu's flames, completely ineffective!
The metal spikes were unable to break through the sea of fire created by Jiang Shengyu. Xiao Hongchen also gave up the idea of long-range attack. He gathered the remaining metal particles in his hands, formed two metal boxing gloves, and moved forward.

He enveloped his soul power around himself, forming a soul power barrier that reduced the impact of the scorching flames on him.

Jiang Shengyu controlled the fire with both hands, relying on the power of the two strange fires to make up for the soul power gap between him and Xiao Hongchen.

As time passed, the heat gradually penetrated the barrier and the metal gloves on Xiao Hongchen's hands and was transferred to his body, and his face was covered with sweat.

Without using the third and fourth soul skills, with his current fighting style, Xiao Hongchen would be unable to break through the offensive and defensive system constructed by the flames in Jiang Shengyu's hands.

Xiao Hongchen gritted his teeth and concentrated all his soul power into his right hand. A dazzling golden light bloomed from his right hand. Then, he swung his right hand and hit Jiang Shengyu.

Xiao Hongchen gathered over forty levels of soul power into a single point and exploded. Jiang Shengyu immediately felt the pressure of this punch. He quickly distanced himself from Xiao Hongchen and shouted, "Xiao Hongchen, are you serious?"

Xiao Hongchen waved his fist and rushed directly towards Jiang Shengyu. He shouted loudly: "Jiang Shengyu, don't run! Charge towards my fist!"

"Xiao Hongchen, do you think I'm stupid?" Jiang Shengyu turned around and ran without any hesitation.

The two of them chased each other on the stage. Huo Yuhao, watching from below, was somewhat stunned. Meng Hongchen, standing nearby, sighed, "Really? They're at it again."

Play?
Huo Yuhao was puzzled. He clearly saw that Xiao Hongchen had already risked everything, so how could he be playing?

Jiang Shengyu, chased by Xiao Hongchen, clapped the flames of his left and right hands together. A visible wave of air spread out in all directions, reaching the audience!

The students in the audience all felt the shock and stared at Jiang Shengyu's clasped hands.

Jiang Shengyu had already reached the edge of the ring. One more step and he'd fall off and be declared the loser. Behind him, Xiao Hongchen was approaching with his fist raised.

At this moment, Jiang Shengyu suddenly turned around, opened his arms and shouted, "Go! Buddha's Wrathful Lotus!"

A fire lotus formed by black and white flames flew out from Jiang Shengyu's hands, and a strong aura of destruction hit him. Xiao Hongchen's pupils shrank, and he quickly retracted his fist, widening the distance between himself and the fire lotus!
After the fire lotus flew out of his hand, it flew high into the sky, gradually expanding and releasing a terrifying heat wave!
When the fire lotus reached high altitude, its size had expanded to the size of five or six people holding it in their arms! The two-colored flames burned above, distorting the space.

"What is this?" Xiao Hongchen raised his head and looked at the terrifying fire lotus in the sky with horror in his eyes.

Jiang Shengyu also raised his head and looked at the fire lotus he released, and said to Xiao Hongchen: "The thunder I just rubbed out."

It was just a sudden thought. Since he already had the Pure Lotus Demon Fire and the Void Devouring Flame, it shouldn't be a problem to try to make a poor version of the Buddha's Wrathful Lotus. So he did it, clapping the two flames together.

Fortunately, the strange fire of the soul skill is more controllable than the real strange fire, so Jiang Shengyu was not blown to death.

Xiao Hongchen looked at Huo Lian and swallowed his saliva. Even though he was dozens of meters away from Huo Lian, the terrifying power still made him feel a sense of pressure.

The fire lotus gradually bloomed, and a hint of destructive aura leaked out. Xiao Hongchen's face changed, and he shouted to Jiang Shengyu, "Can you put it away?"

"How can you take back a thrown bomb? You are just playing house!" Jiang Shengyu shook his head and said.

"It can't blow you up?" Xiao Hongchen asked again when he saw that Jiang Shengyu was not panicking.

Jiang Shengyu shook his head and said, "No, all beings are equal."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hongchen immediately scolded, “Then why are you so calm?”
