Douluo Dragon King: Martial Soul Spring and Autumn Cicada, Lord of Time

Look closely.

He was a young man with deep-set eyes, a well-proportioned figure, and wearing a magnificent blue robe.

Behind him, a head of long, light blue hair hung down to his waist.

However, her overall demeanor appeared rather feminine and cunning.

They bear some resemblance to the castrated eunuchs in the ancient imperial palace.

"Tang San—!!!"

Gazing at the figure in the distance, a faint killing intent flashed deep in Zhao Tao's eyes!

Because the visitor was none other than someone else.

He was the mastermind behind the millennia-long plan, and also his nemesis before and after his rebirth—

Buddha of Tang, Three Beasts of Tang!

certainly......

To be more precise, the figure in front of us is not Tang San's true form.

The Hall of Heroes simply used soul guidance technology to simulate a Tang San illusion for practical training and assessment!

"Test begins!"

It was at this moment that...

The illusion of Tang San in front of Zhao Tao suddenly opened its eyes!

The next moment, specks of blue light flickered in the palm of Tang San's illusory right hand, transforming into the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, and two yellow soul rings appeared on his body.

"Blue-silver entanglement!"

As Tang San's illusion flashed, the first spirit ring on his body began to flicker.

Strands of blue silver grass, each as thick as an arm, pierced through the air and bound Zhao Tao.

"Being entangled with one's own mother?"

Looking at the countless blue silver grasses that were coiling around him, Zhao Tao smiled contemptuously—

"I'll annihilate it with a single sword strike!"

With a thought, the first purple soul ring on Zhao Tao's body suddenly flashed!

"Time Buries the Sword!"

Accompanied by the flashing of the spirit rings.

In Zhao Tao's hand, specks of silvery time power shimmered, transforming into a magnificent longsword.

Holding the Time Burial Sword, Zhao Tao swung his wrist.

The fine sword light seemed to form an impenetrable barrier.

Each strand of Blue Silver Grass that touched the sword wind barrier formed by the Time Burial Sword was instantly severed and then fell limply to the ground.

"My turn!"

They easily neutralized Tang San's illusionary attack.

Zhao Tao took the initiative to attack, wielding the Time Burial Sword, and charged towards Tang San!

Faced with Zhao Tao's attack, Tang San's illusion quickly responded, summoning thick blue silver grass vines!

Some of them entangled Zhao Tao, while others transformed into a thick barrier of blue silver grass in front of Tang San's illusion.

"A mere trick, how dare you show off your meager skills before an expert?"

Faced with Tang San's various illusions and defenses, Zhao Tao sneered.

With a single swing of the Time Burial Sword, he cleaved through all the Blue Silver Grass along the way!

In almost an instant, Zhao Tao had already reached the illusion of Tang San!

With a swift slash of the Time Burial Sword in his hand, he instantly beheaded it!

"First stage of the intermediate assessment passed!"

"Having successfully defeated the enemy ahead of schedule, the examinee has skipped the second stage of the assessment and will proceed directly to the advanced stage!"

As the headless illusion of Tang San slowly dissipated, the mechanical voice once again echoed in the space of the Spirit Ascension Platform.

next moment.

Another beam of light condensed in front of Zhao Tao.

An almost identical illusion of Tang San appeared before Zhao Tao once again.

only.

Its aura was nearly twice as strong as the illusion of Tang San that Zhao Tao had previously beheaded.

This is because, according to the Hall of Heroes.

In the intermediate assessment, the enemy illusions that appear only represent about 30% of their true strength.

And in the advanced assessment.

The illusion of Tang San that Zhao Tao was about to face actually possessed 50% of his real strength!

Naturally, its aura and strength are much stronger than Tang San's illusion in the intermediate assessment!

"Advanced Assessment, First Stage, Prepare!"

"Ten, nine, eight,..."

"Test begins!"

As the countdown ended.

The illusion of Tang San followed the same pattern once again, its spirit rings flashing, and launched an attack on Zhao Tao with the move "Mother's Entanglement"!

"Break it!"

Looking at the illusion of Tang San in the distance, Zhao Tao smiled coldly and brandished the Time Burial Sword in his hand, tearing Tang San's mother to pieces one by one as she approached him!

However, this time, the advanced version of Tang San's illusion was undoubtedly much more flexible in its countermeasures!

"parasitic!"

As the second yellow spirit ring on Tang San's illusion flashed...

The blue silver seeds that were originally attached to the blue silver grass vines and scattered all over the ground by Zhao Tao were instantly activated!

In the blink of an eye.

Hundreds of thick, vine-like Blue Silver Grasses grew around Zhao Tao's body!

It twisted and contorted, forming a cage-like space to bind Zhao Tao inside!

In contrast, the first soul skill, "Mother's Entanglement," requires attacking from Tang San's illusion all the way to Zhao Tao's side.

This second soul skill, "Parasitism," is released directly from the blue silver seeds scattered around Zhao Tao, giving him much less time to react!

but.

Faced with the ever-surging blue silver grass vines.

Zhao Tao's expression remained as calm and undisturbed as a still well.

"A fleeting moment of beauty!"

A thought crossed my mind.

Zhao Tao's second purple spirit ring flickered, and the wings of his Spring and Autumn Cicada martial spirit danced in his palm!

next moment.

Two beams of light shot out from the body of the Spring and Autumn Cicada!

A surge of energy entered Zhao Tao's body, activating time acceleration;

The other path locked onto Tang San, slowing down his time flow!

With the blessing of "Fleeting Beauty".

Zhao Tao accelerated again, wielding the Time Burial Sword to sever all the blue silver vines blocking his path, carving a bloody trail through the enemy lines!

Even as Zhao Tao closed in, Tang San's illusion still did not give up the fight.

Instead, his spirit rings flashed continuously, summoning vines made of blue silver grass in an attempt to stop Zhao Tao!

Unfortunately.

Under the influence of "Fleeting Beauty", Tang San's speed in releasing soul skills through illusions was also greatly reduced!

He had just activated his soul skill when Zhao Tao's Time Burial Sword silently slashed down, aiming straight for his neck!

Click!

It was accompanied by a crisp sound.

The illusion of Tang San was instantly decapitated, its head falling to the ground, and its headless corpse collapsed heavily, but no blood flowed out.

Zhao Tao immediately ended the "Fleeting Beauty" buff in order to conserve his soul power.

"First stage of the advanced assessment passed!"

"Having successfully defeated the enemy ahead of schedule, the examinee skips the second stage of the assessment and proceeds directly to the final assessment!"

As the electronic sound rang out again, Tang San's illusory corpse turned into blue light particles and quickly dissipated.

at the same time.

A blue beam of light descended from the sky, transforming into yet another illusion of Tang San.

Compared to the two Tang San illusions Zhao Tao encountered before, the Tang San illusion in this final test was even more oppressive!

Even the light emanating from its eyes was more vibrant than the two illusions Zhao Tao had previously slain, seemingly brimming with wisdom!

"In my first life, although I passed the intermediate and advanced assessments, I failed in the final assessment."

"In this life, I will surely avenge myself!"

Gazing at the illusion of Tang San in the distance, Zhao Tao's eyes gleamed with confidence!

"The final test, the first stage, prepare!"

"Ten, nine, eight,..."

"The assessment begins!"

As the countdown ends, the great battle is about to begin!
