Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul, the Fangtian Halberd, Empowers Me with Filial Piety

Chapter 51 Defeating your opponent doesn't necessarily have to be on the battlefield...

Kaka!

The icy chains formed from starlight made contact with the white shield, producing a series of fine, crisp friction sounds, as if they were locked in a struggle.

However, in the next instant, the chains that shimmered with starlight suddenly shattered, breaking into pieces and turning into a sky full of starlight that dissipated into the night.

On the other side, Xu Xiaoyan's face turned pale, and her soul power was instantly depleted, as if a floodgate had been opened.

"Xiao Yan! Are you alright?"

Seeing this, Tang Wuling quickly stepped forward and helped her up.

"No...it's okay."

Xu Xiaoyan shook her head gently, her voice sounding somewhat weak.

If she hadn't dispelled her soul skill in time, her soul power would probably have been completely depleted in that instant.

"really!"

Jiang Yi nodded thoughtfully.

His soul power also decreased, but for a Soul Master like him, it didn't have a significant impact.

"Brother, what's going on?"

Tang Wuling turned around and looked at Jiang Yi with a puzzled expression. It was clear that Jiang Yi's soul skill was superior.

But are there differences between absolutes?
“Xiao Yan’s soul power is not as high as mine. Once her cultivation catches up, it’s hard to say.”

Jiang Yi offered a brief explanation.

In theory, there is no order of precedence between two absolutes of validity. Since the mechanisms are the same, the only thing that can be compared is the numerical value.

Naturally, whoever has higher cultivation and can persevere will gain the upper hand in terms of soul skills.

However, even if Xu Xiaoyan's cultivation level is comparable to his, he will still gain a little.

Control and immunity counteract each other, but the purpose of defense has been achieved, and it still cannot stop his attack.

"Really...can we make it in time...?"

Xu Xiaoyan gazed at the three deep, ink-black soul rings on Jiang Yi's body, pursed her lips slightly, and felt somewhat uncertain.

The difference between the two is not only in the quality of their spirit rings, but also in their spirit power levels.

"Let's recover our soul power first! We still have to fight Teacher Wu later."

Jiang Yi smiled gently at Xu Xiaoyan.

"it is good!"

Xu Xiaoyan looked at Jiang Yi, her eyes flickering slightly as if she were thinking of something, and a sweet smile appeared on her pretty face.

Sometimes, you don't have to defeat your opponent on the battlefield!
—Respectfully left by Xu Xiaoyan.

……

As night deepened, the stars in the sky shone even brighter, their light like a dazzling Milky Way cascading down upon the earth.

A tall, slender figure slowly approached from afar. Wu Changkong was dressed in a pristine white robe, his hands clasped behind his back, his expression as cold and aloof as frost.

"Ready?"

Wu Changkong's gaze swept over the five people who were on high alert, his tone calm and indifferent.

"Yeah! I'm ready."

The crowd responded in unison, their voices filled with eager anticipation and fighting spirit.

"That... dance teacher,"

Xu Xiaoyan suddenly spoke softly, her big eyes blinking, making her look exceptionally innocent.

"When you spar with us, shouldn't you suppress your soul power to be about the same as ours?"

"Xiao Yan, you don't understand. In actual combat, how can the enemy talk about fairness with you?"

Before Wu Changkong could respond, Xie Xie interrupted.

Wu Changkong glanced at Xie Xie indifferently and nodded slightly, which could be considered as acquiescence.

"However, Teacher Wu, you are not allowed to use the battle armor."

Xie Xie suddenly reminded him from the side, "A Soul Emperor plus a two-word battle armor, that's Soul Douluo level combat power."

No matter how powerful they are, they'll still get thoroughly beaten. "Okay!"

Wu Changkong watched the two singing in harmony, his face expressionless, revealing no emotion whatsoever.

Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan exchanged a quick glance, a hint of triumph flashing in their eyes – this was part of their plan.

Wu Changkong had previously stated that he would not suppress cultivation, but he didn't mention the battle armor. A six-ring Soul Emperor and a two-word battle armor master are two different levels.

They must limit Wu Changkong's combat strength to within the sixth ring.

"Okay! Get ready to fight!"

Jiang Yi was relieved to see that Wu Changkong had agreed.

The five people lined up in formation according to the plan they had discussed beforehand.

Jiang Yi stood at the forefront, like a sharp spear, while Tang Wuling and Xie Xie flanked him, waiting for their chance to strike.

Xu Xiaoyan and Gu Yue hid behind the three of them, preventing Wu Changkong from seeing their movements.

"Gu Yue!"

Jiang Yi gave a soft shout; their tacit understanding was self-evident.

Gu Yue waved his hands, and several wind trails appeared on the field, crisscrossing and turning the entire training ground into a field of wind.

On the other side, Wu Changkong stood there with an icy expression, holding the Heavenly Frost Sword, quietly watching Jiang Yi and the others.

boom!
It wasn't Jiang Yi and his two companions in front who made the first move, but Gu Yue, who was in the rear.

With a wave of her hand, she conjured a huge fireball, which roared towards Wu Changkong.

In mid-air, the large fireball suddenly split into five smaller fireballs, which lined up in a long line.

Then, the last fireball suddenly accelerated and collided with the fireball in front, instantly adding its own fire element, doubling the fireball's speed and attributes.

Although it is unknown how Gu Yue did it, by repeating this process, stepping on his right foot with his left, the five small fireballs quickly turned back into one fireball.

The fireball that was re-condensed shrank several times in size, and its flame color turned orange-red. It shot straight into the sky like a molten meteor!

Wu Changkong remained standing still, his Heavenly Frost Sword pointing diagonally at the ground, his expression unchanged.

Just as the fireball was closing in on him, he suddenly flicked his wrist, and a streak of azure sword light struck first, like a cold lightning bolt tearing through the sky, precisely splitting the fireball in two.

Two fireballs grazed past the hem of his clothes, and the hot wind ruffled the hair on his forehead.

However, at that very moment, two ice blades that Gu Yue had already anticipated and thrown shot through the air, colliding violently with the split fireball.

boom!boom!
The extreme cold and intense heat collided violently, and a large amount of white mist suddenly rose and spread, instantly engulfing Wu Changkong's figure.

"Ok?"

Wu Changkong raised an eyebrow slightly, his face showing a thoughtful expression.

Using fog to obscure vision? That's rather interesting.

Unfortunately, while the fog could obstruct his vision, it could not block his mental perception, such as... the approaching presence behind him.

A glint flashed in Wu Changkong's eyes, and the Heavenly Frost Sword in his hand suddenly sprang up, stabbing straight behind him like a venomous snake spitting its tongue.

Ding!
With a crisp metallic clang, Xie Xie's long-brewing dragon storm was instantly halted by Wu Changkong's sword.

However, Xie Xie, having missed his first attack, did not linger in the fight. He used the momentum to retreat swiftly, his figure disappearing into the mist once more, a triumphant smile playing on his lips.

be cheated!
Wu Changkong felt a chill run down his spine, realizing something was wrong, but it was too late. Before he knew it, a glimmer of starlight quietly bloomed beneath his feet.

At this moment, the surrounding mist had dissipated, revealing Wu Changkong's figure once again.

Click! Click!
Strands of starlight ice, like vines, coiled up along Wu Changkong's legs.

"Ok?"

Wu Changkong's soul power trembled as he tried to break free, but he found that the ice chains remained motionless, firmly imprisoning him in place.

A forced soul skill? Is this Xu Xiaoyan's special ability?
Wu Changkong's heart stirred slightly. He had never seen this soul skill before, and it was obviously released by Xu Xiaoyan.

Given the difference in their cultivation levels, a six-ring cultivator against a one-ring cultivator shouldn't have been able to completely imprison him, but that was the reality; he was firmly fixed in place.

This is clearly a special effect of a soul skill!
boom!
Just then, a streak of blood-red light descended from the sky, accompanied by a whistling wind, and suddenly slashed towards Wu Changkong's head.

"Great timing!"

Wu Changkong spoke softly, but the moment he looked up to meet the crimson halberd light, his pupils suddenly contracted.
