Chapter 141: The Battle of the Titled (Part I)

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The battle between Xuan Wu and Loldilara took place high in the air. Both of their soul powers had reached the eighty-eighth rank, and the aftermath of their clash was already comparable to that of Title Douluo.

Fearing that the shockwaves might injure the students of the Nine Stars Academy, and with Loldilara equally unwilling to see his subordinates suffer casualties, the two of them reached a tacit agreement and chose the high altitude as their battlefield.

At the level of a high-ranked Soul Douluo, flight no longer required relying on a martial soul or soul skills. Even though Xuan Wu's martial soul itself did not possess the ability to fly, it did not hinder him from fighting in the air.

The two collided repeatedly in mid-air at speeds difficult for the naked eye to track. The clashes of soul power generated brilliant flashes of light that exploded like fireworks before dissolving into the horizon.

After fighting for about half a quarter of an hour, the victor was decided!

Although their soul power ranks were equal, Xuan Wu was far superior to Loldilara in both the quality of his martial soul and his soul ring configuration.

During a certain collision, Xuan Wu launched a fierce counterattack, shattering Loldilara's soul power barrier and slamming a heavy fist right into Loldilara's abdomen.

Loldilara immediately plummeted toward the ground like a kite with a snapped string, drifting and tumbling as he fell.

"Stop!"

Just as Xuan Wu was about to press his advantage and pursue, a slightly effeminate voice suddenly rang in his ear. At the same time, Xuan Wu felt an overwhelming pressure, far surpassing his own soul power, surging toward him like a rolling tide.

Xuan Wu's expression changed. He immediately halted his pursuit, quickly retreated a few steps, and landed in front of Xiao Yu and the others. A cautious look crossed his face as his gaze instantly locked onto a certain spot.

"Good, good, good. I didn't expect to encounter a powerhouse with a divine beast martial soul on this trip. Loldilara doesn't lose face by losing to you!"

The effeminate voice continued, "What a pity. A Soul Douluo is ultimately just a Soul Douluo. If you could take it a step further, even if you had just obtained your ninth soul ring, relying on your formidable martial soul, I'm afraid even I might not be your match!"

As the words fell, a figure stepped forward from the distance. He was dressed in flowing white robes, the skin on his hands as tender and smooth as a baby's. His mincing steps made Xiao Yu feel as though he were watching a model strutting down a runway at a fashion show. Had it not been for the Adam's apple on his neck, no one would have dared to affirm that he was a man.

Chrysanthemum Douluo, Yue Guan!

Although he wore a veil, judging by this pretentious, sissified demeanor, if this wasn't him, Xiao Yu would start practicing the辟邪剑法 tomorrow.

"Has he arrived?"

In the shadows, several powerful Title Douluo of the Nine Stars Palace were observing the newly appeared Chrysanthemum Douluo, Yue Guan, with great interest. "Who should deal with this fellow?"

Saga leaned against a stone wall as if in a light sleep. Hearing this, he raised his eyelids and said, "I don't sense an opponent worthy of my battle. I'll leave him to you all to handle."

With that, he closed his eyes again, unsure whether he was deep in thought or truly asleep.

"Then I'll go!"

Camus clenched one fist and stretched out the other, striking them together twice to produce a crisp sound. He said, "According to intelligence, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan's martial soul is the Qiluo Tongtian Chrysanthemum. My extreme freezing qi has a restraining effect on most plants. It should be most appropriate for me to deal with him."

Shura and the others nodded one after another, and Camus leaped forward in a single bound.

At this very moment, Chrysanthemum Douluo had already summoned his martial soul. Nine of the most standard soul rings—two yellow, two purple, and five black—appeared before everyone's eyes.

"Prepare to die!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo shouted loudly as his fifth soul ring lit up. The petals of the Qiluo Tongtian Chrysanthemum spun in the air, ultimately condensing into a sharp, massive saber. This was precisely Chrysanthemum Douluo's fifth soul skill, Gathering of the Cold Blossoms.

Chrysanthemum Douluo pointed a finger, and the long saber plummeted straight toward the Nine Stars Academy.

However, just as the massive saber was about to descend, a crystal-clear wall of ice abruptly appeared in front, and its ultra-low freezing aura instantly turned the plant-condensed saber into an ice blade. With a clanging sound, it plummeted to the ground and shattered into pieces.

The freezing aura did not stop after blocking the Gathering of the Cold Blossoms; instead, it grew even more intense, surging overwhelmingly toward Chrysanthemum Douluo. The biting frost made even Chrysanthemum Douluo, who possessed ninety-fifth-rank soul power, shudder involuntarily.

"Who goes there?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo circulated his soul power to resist the invasion of the cold, his eyes filled with apprehension. Anyone capable of launching an attack right under his nose was definitely no ordinary person.

The air in front of the Nine Stars team twisted for a moment, and Camus, clad in golden armor, calmly materialized. With his hands behind his back, he slowly rose into the air, facing the direction of Chrysanthemum Douluo.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red.

As Camus ascended, nine soul rings rose from his body one after another. With the appearance of each soul ring, the bone-chilling cold deepened by another three parts.

"Seventh soul skill, True Body of the Martial Soul!"

The moment Camus's final, ten-thousand-year soul ring flashing with red light appeared, Chrysanthemum Douluo did not hesitate for even a fraction of a second, immediately activating his seventh...
