Douluo Continent: Starting from Awakening the Vermilion Bird Martial Soul

On the Soul Battle Stage, Di Hong bowed to Gui Mei, who returned the bow in return.

Then, the two released their martial souls at the same time. After Emperor Hong's martial soul was attached to him, his whole body exuded a holy aura, and the flames covering the Vermilion Bird wings on his back made the ghost feel very uncomfortable.

Di Hong's red pupils lit up, his eyes seeming to see through everything.

Upon seeing the appearance of Emperor Hong's martial spirit, Qian Xunji frowned slightly.

"Such a sacred aura! It actually surpasses the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul. Could the quality of his Martial Soul be even higher than that of the Six-Winged Angel?"

"This is his martial spirit. It looks really powerful."

Tang Hao looked at Di Hong and felt a faint urge to worship him. The sacred aura emanating from Di Hong was like that of a god in the world. Tang Yuehua looked at Di Hong and her jewel-like eyes sparkled with admiration.

As Di Hong flew into the air, he looked down at the ghosts below, then slowly stretched out his hand, his tone very calm.

"please."

Ghost frowned. Was this a sign of disrespect? Di Hong actually made him make the first move. Even if his soul power level was lower than Di Hong's and his martial soul was countered, Di Hong was still taking him far too lightly.

"it is good."

The ghostly voice was cold and clear, and the body exuded an eerie black aura.

Six spirit rings appeared beneath his feet.

Immediately afterwards, several dark figures slowly moved towards Di Hong.

When they were less than three meters away from Di Hong, the ghostly figures on the ground suddenly rushed out and surrounded Di Hong in mid-air from all directions.

This is Ghostly's fourth soul skill, [Ghostly Shadows], which allows it to attack the opponent with ghostly shadows.

Di Hong, suspended in mid-air, watched the approaching ghostly figures but did not dodge.

"First Soul Skill: Fire Protection".

The first spirit ring lit up, and the Vermilion Bird Flame covered the entire body, forming a flame shield. The ghostly figure let out a shrill scream the moment it pounced, then turned into wisps of black smoke and disappeared.

"How is this possible!?" Ghost was incredulous, his fourth soul skill couldn't even break through Di Hong's first soul skill.

Unbeknownst to the audience, the ghost's hand was trembling, albeit slightly; he was terrified of Di Hong, or rather, terrified of Di Hong's flames.

"Third Soul Skill: Heavenly Blaze Descent!"

After dispelling the ghostly figures, Di Hong raised his hand and his third soul ring lit up. A vortex appeared out of thin air above the Soul Arena, followed by countless fireballs falling down.

He dodged and weaved at top speed to avoid the fireballs; if he were hit, he would be in big trouble, since he was the natural counter to them.

Seeing the ghostly figure's disheveled state on the Soul Battle Stage, Yue Guan couldn't help but worry about him.

While dodging, Ghost kept looking for an opportunity, but the fireballs were too dense, and the Soul Arena was only so big, so his space to dodge was very limited.

After all the fireballs had landed, he finally seized the opportunity, and his fifth black spirit ring lit up.

"Second Soul Skill: Soul-Devouring Claw!"

With a roar, the ghost raised its hand and grabbed at the air. A large black shadow appeared below Emperor Hong, and then a huge skeletal ghost claw stretched out from the shadow and grabbed Emperor Hong directly.

"Got you." Ghostly smiled smugly, then controlled his ghostly claws to throw Di Hong off the Soul Arena.

However, at this moment, a terrifying flame suddenly erupted from within the ghost claw. The flame broke through the ghost claw, and Di Hong flapped his wings, his entire body covered in flames. He was now like a man of fire.

A wave of heat swept across the entire Soul Arena, and even those a little further away could feel it.

Tang Hao wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Why is it so hot?"

He felt that if this continued, all the moisture in his body would be dried out.

If Tang Hao and the others were in such a state, the ghost on the Soul Arena was in an even worse condition. He could clearly feel the temperature of the Soul Arena beneath his feet rising, and it was already starting to burn his feet.

"boom!"

Di Hong landed heavily on the ground, and in an instant, flames spread in all directions. The ghost was unable to dodge in time, and the flames directly attached themselves to his body.

"what!!!"

The wails kept coming from the Soul Fighting Arena, and Yue Guan from below the stage felt as if his heart was being torn apart. He wished he could rush onto the Soul Fighting Arena right now.

"Admit defeat, senior," Di Hong said calmly.

“My Vermilion Bird Fire is your nemesis, and you cannot extinguish it.”

The ghost did not answer, but instead continued to circulate its soul power to resist the flames, but to no avail.

Seeing that his opponent still refused to admit defeat, Di Hong shook his head and raised his hand to withdraw the flames.

The fire was withdrawn, and the ghost was much better, but still in a sorry state.

Just then, Di Hong suddenly leaped up and rushed towards the ghost, raising his right hand and gathering fiery red soul power in his palm. The ghost hurriedly raised his arms and activated his soul power to defend.

With a palm strike to the ghost's arms, the battle arena was instantly filled with billowing energy and flying dust.

Having received Di Hong's palm strike imbued with soul power, Gui Mei retreated to the edge of the Soul Arena, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

"With just one strike, he injured Ghost." Tang Hao was somewhat astonished. Ghost was also a Soul Emperor, and his Soul Power level was only two levels lower than Di Hong's. Yet, Di Hong beat him like a father beating his son.

The ghosts were completely crushed.

"He was holding back," Tang Xiao said.

"If Di Hong had allowed that flame to burn the ghost just now, the ghost would probably be burned to death by now."

"That flame is the bane of ghosts and demons, and it cannot be extinguished, at least not by us."

Although we can't see Di Hong's true strength, just these few rounds with Gui Mei are enough to show that he is now basically unmatched at the same level, or rather, he has no rivals at all.

Even he probably wasn't 100% confident of defeating Di Hong.

For Di Hong, killing the ghost was an easy task.

In the VIP seats, Dai Yutian looked at Di Hong on the Soul Arena and clenched his fists. It had only been a short time, and Di Hong's strength had increased again. He was not surprised that Gui Mei was no match for Di Hong, after all, even a level 79 Soul Saint had died at his hands.

Not to mention a level 67 Soul Emperor.

Xueye looked at Dihong and nodded with great satisfaction, her smile barely concealed. Ning Fengzhi also wore a smile.

In stark contrast to them was Qian Xunji, whose face was ashen. He knew that Gui Mei was no match for Di Hong, but he did not expect that Gui Mei was not only no match for Di Hong, but the two were not even in the same league.

Admittedly, this is partly due to Di Hong's ability to control ghosts and demons.

I didn't know what ghostly soul skills were, so I looked them up online.

Thank you everyone for your monthly tickets and recommendation votes. I also want to apologize to those who were affected by my recommendations.

Chapter 55 Exchange Meeting Cancelled

Knowing he had been completely crushed, the ghost knew that Di Hong hadn't used his full strength at all, or even taken it seriously. Since the start of the match, Di Hong had only used two soul skills.

Now that he is injured, if he continues to fight, he will only lose even more miserably. This kind of martial soul restraint is really too painful.

Look back at the high platform and see what Qian Xunji's attitude is.

Seeing the ghost looking over, Qian Xunji, whose face was ashen, could only nod slightly in helplessness. The movement was very subtle, but the ghost still saw it. He valued the ghost and Yue Guan very much. These two had great talent and would definitely become titled Douluo in the future.

His prestige had greatly diminished due to the attack on Seagod Island. This Soul Master Exchange Conference was intended to boost his prestige and, incidentally, allow the two great empires to resolve their conflicts on the Soul Arena rather than on the battlefield. However, it seems that things might have gone wrong.

In the three battles at the Central Soul Arena, the Heavenly Dou Empire won two. Putting aside everything else, the Heavenly Dou Empire has a lot of geniuses among its Soul Masters. So far, he has seen three geniuses with the potential to be titled.

Tang Xiao, Tang Hao, and Di Hong could not possibly join the Spirit Hall; they belong to two Clear Sky Sects and one kingdom.

This gave him a headache. Why did so many things happen in his generation? However, he was relieved that his student was very talented and would be a Title Douluo in no time. With her around, the Spirit Hall's strength would reach an even higher level.

This was one thing that pleased him, but there was another thing that displeased him: the Heavenly Dou Empire had produced an even more talented Emperor Hong, and the Haotian Sect had produced a once-in-a-century prodigy.

Relieved to receive an affirmative answer, Ghost breathed a sigh of relief.

"I surrender."

Although he was equally unwilling, his situation was different from Yue Guan's. Yue Guan was careless and thus ended up in a draw with Dugu Bo, while he was completely crushed and utterly restrained.

If it weren't for the martial soul's restraint, he wouldn't have lost so miserably.

He could still fight, but it was no longer necessary. If there were no martial soul to counter him, he would have to keep fighting no matter what.

After Gui Mei conceded defeat, Di Hong bowed respectfully.

"Concession."

The ghost returned the greeting.

As soon as the two left the Soul Battle Arena and returned to the rest area, Tang Yuehua jogged over.

She was the happiest person after winning the battle.

"Di Hong, you are truly amazing. We are both Soul Emperors, yet you defeated your opponent so easily."

Di Hong simply smiled slightly.

"The reason we were able to win so easily is mainly because our martial soul countered his. If our martial soul hadn't countered him, we wouldn't have won so easily."

"Then you're pretty good too." Tang Yuehua didn't care about restraint; she only cared about the result. Winning was winning, and Di Hong not only won, but won so easily, completely crushing her opponent.

As soon as he sat down, Tang Yuehua brought him water.
