"Jun Tianlin, if you want to die, I'll help you!" Being thrown out so easily by Tianlin, Tuoba Xi felt utterly humiliated as a titled Douluo.
"Fifth Soul Skill, Dragon's Roar!"
Tuoba Xi and his brother Tuoba Ye attacked at the same time, using the same soul skill. In these major sects, their martial soul cultivation methods had long formed a complete system; what kind of soul ring you absorb would most likely grant what kind of soul skill—this was all well understood.
Therefore, among disciples with the same martial soul from powerful forces, unless someone had their ideas, as long as they obediently followed their elders, it was common for them to have identical soul skills.
Dragon's Roar was a spiritual attack—against opponents with weak mental strength, it could cause instant mental collapse. Even for spiritual-type soul masters, it could easily cause a brief moment of delay.
But this move was completely useless against Tianlin. His spiritual defense far exceeded his physical defense.
Not to mention, there was a monster living in his spiritual sea: "Isn't it just a contest of who's louder? Would I be afraid of two little lizards? Wagh!!!"
The Sky Dream Iceworm roared back at the Tuoba brothers. Although its boyish voice lacked any sense of authority, in terms of spiritual impact, it was far stronger than the two on the other side.
"Ugh!"
The Tuoba brothers both suffered spiritual backlash, clutching their heads and groaning in pain.
"Second Soul Skill, Ice and Fire God Seal!" Taking advantage of the opportunity, Tianlin advanced and unleashed his ultimate ice and ultimate fire, slashing at their legs with a sword.
"Sixth Soul Skill, Earth Dragon's Turn!" Tuoba Ye hadn't yet recovered, but Tuoba Xi, being a titled Douluo, had already reacted. Although the Sky Dream Iceworm's spiritual power was strong, it wasn't offensive, so he had only been dazed from the backlash—not injured.
Tuoba Xi stomped the ground, and two massive earth dragons burst from underground, rushing to meet Tianlin's twin sword energies.
But before they could even touch, the two earth dragons were frozen and burned by ultimate ice and fire, then decapitated by the sword energies.
The sword energies, still powerful, struck Tuoba Xi and Tuoba Ye, causing both of their levels to drop.
"My level… dropped to 90!" Tuoba Xi couldn't believe the drastic reduction in his soul power—after all, for titled Douluo, each level gained was a huge improvement.
Sometimes, even with good talent, it could take years, even more than a decade, to train for just one level. If he hadn't absorbed a high-age soul beast's ring, reaching level 91 would have taken at least five more years.
Now, Tianlin had sealed it with a single sword.
Tianlin wasn't very satisfied; had he known, he would have sent both sword energies at Tuoba Xi—maybe he could have knocked him down to Soul Douluo, so he couldn't use his ninth soul skill.
He had thought one sword energy would be enough for this newly-advanced titled Douluo, but Tuoba Xi's soul power was quite pure and condensed. In the original novel, he was instantly killed by Tang San because Tang San was also a titled Douluo and had huge advantages.
Although Tianlin's cheats were even bigger, his level was only in the seventies. If he were a Soul Douluo, he could have killed Tuoba Xi instantly.
But it didn't matter—it would just take more effort.
Tuoba Xi, meanwhile, was even more shocked than Tianlin. Since Tianlin had blocked his attack with one hand, he had been at a disadvantage the whole time.
In physical strength, spiritual power, and physical attack, this titled Douluo had been completely overwhelmed. Now he understood why Feng Tianlei had proactively chosen Dragon Duke as his opponent; it wasn't bravery, it was because he didn't dare to face Jun Tianlin head-on.
Tuoba Xi finally confirmed something: Jun Tianlin's strength had already surpassed the typical titled Douluo urban legend—it was real!
"Second Brother, seems we're in trouble this time. Activate Martial Soul True Body—go all out and quickly kill Jun Tianlin, or we'll both die!"
"Yes, Brother. Seventh Soul Skill—Sacred Dragon True Body!"
Tuoba Ye, always obedient, activated his Martial Soul True Body without hesitation.
At the same time, Tuoba Xi's seventh soul ring lit up. Two white-armored dragons, several times taller than the city wall, glared fiercely at the seemingly frail Tianlin below.
Tianlin sensed that after turning on their Martial Soul True Bodies, the two's size was secondary—their earth attribute energy had increased several times.
"White-armored Sacred Dragon! Looks like this is the martial soul produced after god-knows-how-many generations of diluted Earth Dragon King bloodline!" the Sky Dream Iceworm mocked. "Too bad—even if the original Earth Dragon King came back to life to kill you, he might not be able to do it, let alone these two inferior copies. Right, Xiao Tian?"
The Sky Dream Iceworm had lived for so many years; it had heard of the nine dragon kings of the dragon clan—the Earth Dragon King being the one who ruled Earth attributes.
"Yeah, you're right, Brother Skydream!" Tianlin smiled and put away his demon sword.
Tuoba Xi and Tuoba Ye weren't careless either. They didn't think someone like Tianlin would surrender just because they activated their Martial Soul True Bodies.
"Eighth Soul Skill—Earthly Mad Dragons!"
The two white-armored dragons attacked together. If the previous skill summoned two earth dragons, this eighth skill could summon dozens. Plus, with their identical martial souls and skills, they instantly summoned a hundred Earthly Mad Dragons.
If this move were used in war, it could wipe out an army of tens of thousands in minutes.
Tianlin looked at these cannon fodder from the original work and finally agreed with something Flender had said: "There is not a single titled Douluo who is easy to deal with!"
"Not a bad soul skill, but it's useless against me!" Tianlin strode toward them, completely disregarding the pair.
"Kill him!" Tuoba Xi ordered, and a hundred dragons lunged at Tianlin.
Boom! Boom! Boom!!!
The entire wilderness erupted in a series of explosions. The ground shook continuously as if Yunhe City was experiencing an earthquake.
At this moment, a yellow earth light shone from the dust, enveloping the entire city. No matter how the earth outside collapsed, inside the city it was peaceful.
"Tuoba Xi, I told you—this fight is between us. Don't hurt the innocent!" Tianlin's voice came from the dust—he was completely unharmed.
He was holding the Holy Spirit Pearl, surrounded by a yellow light ring—the same light that shielded Yunhe City.
"Second Soul Skill—Earth Shield!"
The Earth Spirit Bead granted an absolute defense soul skill. As long as he's protected by the Earth Shield, any attack containing Earth attributes—regardless of level—is completely ineffective.
Even a god-level earth god from the Divine Realm would only be able to fight Tianlin with pure divine power; if he tried to use his signature move, not even the strongest earth attack could hurt Tianlin.
Let alone Tuoba Xi's summoned earth dragons—any that approached within three meters simply vanished.
