Chapter 206.2. Scorpion Tiger Douluo


    Enough bullshit. Xian Liner was infuriated, as hed touched a sore spot. She reached into the sky with her right hand and a pir of green mes erupted, following which a pike appeared in her hands.


    A soul tool! Huo Yuhao instantly realized that the pike was a soul tool, and a closebat soul tool at that.


    It was a ss 8 closebat soul tool!


    Xian Liner pointed the pike forwards, and a deafening draconic roar burst forth from her mouth. Green mes instantly exploded from her, transforming into an enormous dragon head before barreling towards the dark clouds.


    Arge mass of dark clouds vanished within the green mes; the green dragon head held an absolute advantage.


    The Valkyrie Soaring Through the Skiesimpressive. A deep voice growled. As the dark clouds dissipated, a human figure appeared in their ce. He curled his right hand into a fist and then sent it barrelling through the sky.


    The dragon head quickly dissipated amidst several violent booms. When it did, Xian Liner gazed into her adversarys eyes in the distance.


    Her adversary was an elderly man dressed in ck who was standing on a patch of dark clouds. His skin was extremely tanned, while one of his eyebrows was, peculiarly, a bit higher than the other. Arge King character was written in ck on his forehead. He had a small, stocky frame that didnt match up with his voice, and looked tinypared to Xian Liner, who was currently more than five meters tall.


    You still dare to appear in the world, Zhang Peng? Have you already forgotten how Elder Mu showed you mercy back then? Xian Liner pointed her pike at him as she angrily asked.


    The elderly man lowered his voice and replied, Of course I remember. Elder Mu gave me a chance, and I will always remember the favor and mercy he showed me. I didnt reveal myself to the world the entire time that Elder Mu was alive, but now that Elder Mu has passed, that vow no longer applies. That favor has taken away so many years of freedom from menobody else will ever restrain me like that again. Of course Im going to show myself to the world once more. I wont harm you or Yan Shaozhe because we were once acquaintedthe two of you can go. However, you have to leave that little fe behind.


    Yan Shaozhe smiled and said, Zhang Peng, you seem to get more and more messed up the older you get. Youre actually in cahoots with the Sun Moon Empire; seems like youve found a nice boss.


    The ck-robed elderly man retorted angrily, Nonsense, nonsense! I dont know anything about the Sun Moon Empire, nor anything about the Illustrious Virtue Hall. Hand him over! The two of you can piss off.


    A chilly light flickered in Xian Liners eyes. Dont you think that youre being overconfident and unrealistic? I want to see just how you n on chasing us away. She roared into the sky once shed finished speaking, and her body shed through the air like a green lightning bolt. She appeared before the elderly man in an instant, and thrust her pike towards him. A deafening boom cracked through the sky like thunder, followed by the tremendous shadow of a green dragon, which flickered once before disappearing behind her back as the tip of the pike arrived before the elderly man.


    The elderly man ced his hands together in front of his chest, causing a ck sphere to immediately appear in the center of his palms as two yellow, two purple, and five ck soul rings swiftly rose from his feet. His nine soul rings glowed alternately, while the ck sphere blocked the tip of Xian Liners pike.


    Space seemed to implode in that moment, at which point Huo Yuhao felt momentarily dazed and the sky suddenly turned dark.


    Xian Liner and the ck-robed elderly man had now be embroiled in battle.


    Zhang Pengs fists were his weapons. Dense ck fog appeared with every strike he delivered. On the other hand, Xian Liners fighting style was a lot more savage and wild: Loud dragon roars could be heard every time she stabbed out with her pike and repeatedly forced Zhang Peng backwards in the sky.


    Yan Shaozhe said, Watch closely, Yuhao. A battle of this level is hard toe by, and will be extremely beneficial towards your cultivation. The man in ck is called Zhang Peng, and his title is Scorpion Tiger. Hes an evil soul master whos martial soul requires him to continuously consume animal blood to sustain and evolve itself. Hes not that badpared to most evil soul masters though. Our teacher caught him some time ago, but since his martial souls evil aura wasnt that dense, and since hed never harmed anyone else before, our teacher let him go. Its been many years since then, thus hes probably a Transcendent Douluo now. Hes extremely difficult to deal with. Right now, hes just testing Xian Liners abilities; hes yet to reveal his abilities as an evil soul master. However, hes managed to be a Transcendent Douluo solely because his martial soul wasnt that evil. A Transcendent Douluo who was also a pure evil soul master would be a lot harder to deal with.


    Zhang Peng, the Scorpion Tiger Douluo, was pushed back continuously, but he didnt seem disoriented or panicky at all. The only thing he felt was a little astonished as he passively defended himself against Xian Liners hysterical onught.


    Xian Liner cultivates both her martial soul and soul tools. Shes probably still quite far from Yan Shaozhe in terms of fighting ability, but since when did her offensive abilities be so powerful? Could it be that?


    How could Huo Yuhao let this opportunity go? He immediately voiced the doubts in his mind, Dean Yan, the gigantic dragon conjured behind Dean Xian should be her martial soul, right? Her body has be so huge, and it looks a bit like shes using her Martial Soul True Body. Yet, her martial soul seems like a dragon. Whats going on? There was no way that he could address Yan Shaozhe as his senior brother, as Yan Shaozhe was more than a hundred years old. Thus, he respectfully addressed him as Dean Yan.


    Yan Shaozhe replied, All seven-ringed soul masters have a Martial Soul True Body. However, Martial Soul True Bodies can be mutable. Through years of research within the academy, weve discovered another method of unleashing our Martial Soul True Body once we be Transcendent Douluos. Even though this wont increase its power, well be able to maintain human form in battle. For soul masters that are more adept at closebat, being able to keep their human form can be quite beneficial. We call this battle technique True Body Possession.


    Huo Yuhao felt his heart tingle after hearing Yan Shaozhes exnation. His martial souls were the Spirit Eyes and the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion. Even he himself had no idea what his Martial Soul True Body would be like once he broke through to rank 70. Would he transform into a scorpion for battle? As for his Spirit Eyes, would he actually be a pair of eyes? Only time would tell.


    Dean Yan, are seven-ringed soul masters entirely unable to use the True Body Possession battle technique? Huo Yuhao asked.


    Yan Shaozhe replied, Not necessarily. However, using the True Body Possession technique will divide a soul masters concentration, thus the soul master must be extremely adept at manipting their spirit. Theyll have to figure out the proper fusion between soul power and spiritual power, as well as the issues brought about by using the True Body Possession technique after revealing their Martial Soul True Body. Even if theyre able to achieve this, the duration that it can be maintained in battle will be reduced by two-thirdspared to using ones Martial Soul True Body.


    Its strenuous and unrewarding. Youre a spiritual-type soul master, so spiritual maniption wont be a problem for you, but it remains to be seen how well youre able to manipte your spirit. Even if you can sessfully use the True Body Possession technique, it might weaken your abilities, and the benefits might not make up for the losses. Youll understand more when your cultivation reaches that stage and you can see for yourself.


    Yes.


    Huo Yuhao didnt think too much about the issue of True Body Possession. His cultivation was still low, and his situation was drastically different from that of a normal soul masters. His spiritual power was far stronger than anyone else at the same level, and he had twin martial souls, one of which being Ultimate Ice. Furthermore, the Snow Empress soul had also miraculously appeared, and hed obtained four powerful soul skills just like thateven if one couldnt be used.


    This was the reason that Huo Yuhao could faintly feel that, once his cultivation reached rank 70, his situation would be even more different than a normal soul masters. As such, he also felt that this True Body Possession technique might actually be useful for him after all.


    The battle raging in the sky continued to be even more violent and epic. Xian Liner lived up to her name as the Valkyrie as she spiraled and waltzed through the sky. The sky crackled vigorously every time she struck with her pike, green mes transforming into air ripples that expanded outwards. As things continued, she repeatedly forced Zhang Peng back, and it felt as if Zhang Peng was barely holding on.


    Dean Yan, Dean Xians martial soul


    Yan Shaozhe pped his forehead and said, Oh, I forgot to tell you. Liners martial soul is very unique; its considered a mutant martial soul, thus that means shes probably the only one in the entire world with her martial soul. Shes named her martial soul the Greenme Dragon. If you think that her martial soul is a fire-type martial soul, then youre extremely wrong. Her mutant Greenme Dragon martial soul is actually wind-type. The green mes that you see are actually made up of extremelypressed air thats constantly reverberating. Theyre exceptionally destructive, and can cause disintegration.


    Disintegration? Huo Yuhao stared at the green mes in curious astonishment. No matter how he looked at it, he couldnt tell that her martial soul was a wind-type martial soul.


    Yan Shaozhe nodded and said, Disintegration refers to the explosive power brought about when the winds are sopressed that their energies expand outwards once the winds erupt. Under such circumstances, anything that the winds touch will be damaged by this explosive power, and in turn will disintegrate. The explosiveness is possibly superior to the Fire Dragon martial soul, which is the reason that Liner is adept at frontal battles and breaking through lines. However, you cant underestimate Zhang Peng, as he hasnt revealed his true abilities yet. Even though hes only considered a half-evil soul master, hes still an evil soul master; hes still quite difficult to deal with.


    Zhang Peng finally couldnt take it anymore as Xian Liner continued to force him back. The dark clouds suddenly contracted into the sky, and he roared as he punched out with both fists. A deep and coarse tiger roar echoed through the air, while the sound waves and air ripples knocked Xian Liners three continuous strikes away. Zhang Pengs body rapidly expanded, and he instantly transformed into an enormous ck tigerhis Martial Soul True Body.


    The giant ck tiger was more than fifteen meters long, while his tail was raised high into the air and now had a hook that flickered with dark light on the end. The dark clouds in the sky were now beneath his feet, and his purple eyes were bursting with hostility. He opened his mouth and roared, the intense sound waves permeating the skies as endless echoes reverberated through the air. Dark shadows were repeatedly released from the dark clouds beneath him, and they transformed respectively into soul beasts of all shapes and sizes as they wailed and howled shrilly and then pounced towards Xian Liner.
