Chapter 198 Silver Dragon Sword! Sand Sea Sword Domain Lin 3 Blades
Chapter 198 Silver Dragon Sword! Lin Sandao of the Sand Sea Sword Domain
This time, the commotion among the teachers and students of Shrek Academy was already becoming uncontrollable. While most Soul Masters couldn't discern Han Ruoruo's skill level from such a distance, Lin Li's twin martial souls were undeniably real!
The power of twin martial souls is deeply ingrained in people's minds. It should be known that martial souls can store a certain amount of soul power, and the higher the quality of the martial soul, the more it can store. Therefore, the total soul power of a twin martial soul master is naturally much higher than that of a single martial soul master, and they also have a certain advantage in cultivation speed.
The higher one's cultivation level, the more pronounced this advantage becomes.
Once a Twin Martial Soul Master advances to the Title Douluo level and completes the Soul Rings of their second Martial Soul, even with only a cultivation level of 91, they will be able to contend with a Super Douluo-level powerhouse.
Moreover, compared to ultimate martial souls, twin martial souls appear much more frequently. Although their strength is somewhat inferior in the early and mid-stages, and there are many limitations in terms of physical strength when supplementing their spirit rings, if one cultivates to the Limit Douluo stage, in terms of pure raw power, twin martial souls can even surpass ultimate martial souls.
In fact, Lin Li's strength was just as everyone expected. Several years ago, he was already a top ten expert in the inner courtyard, and now he is a leading figure in the second tier, closely following Jin Yehuan.
Shrek Academy has always kept his twin martial souls—he and his younger brother Lin Ji—a rare combination, hoping they would stay at the academy and become its future trump card.
Even core members of the inner court like Ma Xiaotao didn't know their true background.
Tong Xi and the other two were not interested in this, especially after the incident where Xuan Zi led a team to hunt souls and they got separated and encountered a 100,000-year-old soul beast, their determination to leave became even stronger.
Who would have thought that the secret weapon, hidden for so many years, would make its first public appearance in such a way?
This Soul Saint, a being with twin martial souls who was at least equivalent to an ordinary Soul Douluo, and whose second martial soul was even equipped with a ten-thousand-year soul ring, was actually crushed by a Soul Emperor in a head-on confrontation, and even lasted less than Han Ruoruo before.
Kong Tianxu strode back to the waiting area. After briefly sensing his internal condition, he finally signaled to Gong Changlong on the referee's stand that he needed to make some adjustments.
This victory, though seemingly overwhelming, was actually far more thrilling than the one against Han Ruoruo.
Han Ruoruo's golden rope posed no threat to him, but Lin Li was different.
Agility-type Soul Masters are the type of Soul Masters who are best at concentrating their attack power on a single point. They are generally physically weak and have average endurance, but they are extremely strong in close combat.
But all of this is ultimately for the purpose of achieving the ultimate burst of power.
This is especially true for agility-based attackers like Lin Li, who are masters of this skill.
If the opponent hadn't deliberately given up the many variations of his Shadow Twin Daggers' soul skills and the mobility advantage that agility-based attackers excel at in pursuit of a one-hit kill, even with the protection of the Jade Armor and the fearlessness of injury, it would have taken him quite a bit of effort to win.
Seeing that Kong Tianxu had finally begun to regulate his breathing, the agitation in the stands subsided somewhat.
Even this ironman who won 32 straight games without a break has his limits. I just don't know if he's injured or just overexerted.
Zhang Lexuan's hands, resting on her knees, unconsciously clenched slightly.
However, only Gong Changlong, who was standing close by, could see that after the initial almost imperceptible tremor, Kong Tianxu's arms remained completely still, and his breathing was steady and long, without any sign of being hurried.
That strike—
After enduring that level of attack head-on, his body hadn't reached its limit yet?
In less than fifteen minutes, Kong Tianxu sprang to his feet again, full of energy, and nodded to Gong Changlong, indicating that he could continue.
The immense life force bestowed by the Gold of Life not only forged his incomparably powerful physique but also brought him an astonishing recovery speed. That brief moment of restoring his breath was merely to recover some of the energy consumed by using his 100,000-year-old soul skill.
The third opponent then entered the fray.
Huh? Why is it him again?
This was Kong Tianxu's first reaction.
After observing him discreetly for a while, Kong Tianxu immediately noticed that this person was different from the previous one. His aura was deep and his facial muscles seemed to be stiff due to his years of not smiling, but his eyes seemed to be shining as he looked at Kong Tianxu.
"Shrek Inner Courtyard, Lynch," he introduced himself.
Are they twins? Then their martial spirits must be—
"You also have twin martial souls?" Kong Tianxu asked directly.
Lin Ji nodded. "That's right. But my martial soul is different from my brother's, and I won't use my second martial soul when I fight you. He gave up his best fighting style in pursuit of victory, and I won't repeat his mistake."
As he spoke, he suddenly chuckled and said, "I've wanted to beat that bitch Lin Li up for a long time. You did well; she's definitely a worthy opponent to fight with all your might."
"please."
As soon as he finished speaking, seven spirit rings, in the same optimal ratio, rose from beneath Lin Ji's feet, and the heavy, blunt black iron sword was already in his hand.
He did not rush to attack, but instead raised his sword to the sky with both hands. An aura as solid as a mountain yet as vast as sand began to slowly gather and rise. A strange aura began to spread out from him, and even the surrounding light became heavy.
Using a sword?
Kong Tianxu's eyes lit up. Instead of making a move, he quietly sensed the opponent's profound sword aura.
Unlike Lin Li's gloomy aura that made people feel like they were sinking into a quagmire, Lin Ji's sword aura was much grander, like an endless sea of sand, vast, heavy, and omnipresent, as if it wanted to bring the entire Soul Fighting Zone under its will, leaving no one able to escape.
Within sight, a desolate atmosphere, reminiscent of an ancient battlefield, quickly spread.
Faintly, a few wisps of fine dust rose from the hard ground of the Soul Fighting Zone. Then, like the sharpest blades, these wisps of dust silently carved several astonishingly deep trenches in the ground around Kong Tianxu.
The more dust there is, the denser the gullies become, almost obscuring the sky and the sun, gnawing out a ring of dead sand from the outside in.
Even from this far-off viewing area, one could almost feel the harshness of rusted iron rubbing against each other, and the skin ached slightly.
This is not a simple suppression of soul power, but an incomparably pure sword intent.
Both Lin Ji and Ji Juechen follow the path of swordsmanship. While Lin Ji's "intention" may be slightly less pure than Ji Juechen's, his martial spirit quality and the solidity of his cultivation foundation far surpass it.
More importantly, his approach is more mature and his system is more complete; he has clearly come a long way on this path.
"Sand Sea Sword Domain!" From the stands, an inner court disciple had already shouted out this move.
field?
The next moment, all seven spirit rings on Lin Ji's body lit up simultaneously.
Kong Tianxu immediately realized that he seemed to have fallen into an invisible field.
The surrounding air was thick and viscous, yet filled with a rough, sharp edge like iron filings. Movement became unusually sluggish, and every slight movement required enduring a kind of corroding cutting and immense obstruction. Even the flow of soul power seemed to be affected invisibly.
This is not a magical effect inherent in any soul skill, but rather a near-tyrannical soul power confrontation and aura pressure formed by combining an incredibly solid and powerful soul force with a unique sword intent.
Faced with this situation, even the effects of the Myriad Origins Returning to Origin Domain were not immediately apparent.
In this desert sword domain, it is almost impossible to forcefully advance or fight using explosive power as before.
Kong Tianxu frowned.
"Hehe, Little Gigi's three tricks are still so troublesome at first glance."
In the stands, Lin Li, who had just woken up, looked like he was enjoying the show, but his slightly unrestrained smile immediately aggravated the large bump on his head, causing him to grimace.
Seeing that Kong Tianxu was unusually stuck in a stalemate, the Tang Clan members, who had been looking dejected, regained some of their brilliance.
Wang Dong covered her rosy lips and quickly asked Bei Bei beside her, "Senior Brother, how come Senior Brother Lin Ji is so powerful? Senior Brother Lin Li's cultivation level should be about the same as his, and they even used twin martial souls at the same time, but they couldn't do anything to Kong Tianxu. Yet he was able to suppress that guy right from the start."
"Hmph, you all don't know this."
Beibei chuckled and let out a sigh of relief. It was good that Kong Tianxu was still not quite up to par with the top senior brothers in the inner courtyard. If he had kept winning and eventually destroyed the inner courtyard, what face would Shrek Academy have?
"This senior brother Lin Ji is known as Lin the Three-Knife. As the name suggests, his fighting style is extremely unique. He only locks onto a target, charges up, and then strikes with a single blow. But it is these seemingly simple three moves that have allowed him to maintain his position among the top three in the inner courtyard to this day. All of his spirit ring skills are designed to amplify the power of these three moves. In one-on-one head-on combat, his fighting ability is terrifying."
"What he's using right now is the first of the three strikes: Lock-on, Sand Sea Sword Domain. Look, this ability was once described by Elder Xuan as not being a domain, but surpassing one. To break it, you either need to interrupt his sword domain formation and power accumulation process from the very beginning with the strongest means, or you need to rely on your soul power cultivation, which is at least two levels higher than his, to forcibly break through the qi lock and sword domain suppression."
After listening to Beibei's explanation, Wang Dong nodded in understanding, while Xu Sanshi looked doubtful.
He had heard from Nan Nan that Bei Bei, that scoundrel, had actually dared to confidently claim during the last competition that his Xuanwu Martial Soul was not only not the ultimate, but even surpassed the ultimate, boasting to the heavens. This time, similar words had popped up again, which was truly hard for him to believe.
However, this time Bei Bei's words were true. After the Sand Sea Sword Domain was formed, Lin Ji's sword aura was indeed heavier and more intricate than Kong Tianxu had ever seen in his life.
Seemingly provoked by the sword's momentum, Kong Tianxu's eyes suddenly shone with a brilliant golden light, and the vast and majestic aura of the Heavenly Commandment surged forth.
Within a three-zhang radius around him, it resembled a golden pool of thunder, halting the sword intent that was constantly spreading towards him, and even tinging the surrounding dust with a layer of pale gold, turning it into dust.
"The next step is to gather strength, to combine thousands of weapons into one sword," Bei Bei said in a low voice, her eyes gleaming.
Faced with Kong Tianxu's powerful counterattack of the Heavenly Commandment, Lin Ji's Sand Sea Sword Domain, though lacking any countermeasures, was not truly suppressed. Instead, a strange change rapidly occurred during the confrontation—
Amidst the churning sands, phantom images of weapon spirits of various shapes and auras flashed by.
Knives, spears, swords, halberds, axes, battle-axes, hooks, forks—it's as if all the weapons in the world have been forged into one!
"I'm very greedy." Lin Ji's voice came through the layers of sand and sword intent, his calmness masking an extreme fervor. "When I see other people's powerful weapon spirits, especially swords, I can't help but think: How wonderful would it be if they were mine? How would I use them? So, I embarked on this path of mind controlling spirit form. What I see and think, I try to turn into my own."
The heavy black iron sword in his hand subtly changed shape and aura as he spoke, sometimes as heavy as a mountain, sometimes as light as the wind, sometimes as fiery as fire, and sometimes as cold as ice.
But the only thing that remained unchanged was its inherent heaviness. As one change after another emerged, it was almost visible to the naked eye that the Xuan Tie Heavy Sword became thicker, sharper, and more powerful.
In the inner courtyard, a monster room that houses countless bizarre martial spirits, Lin Ji is also an extremely out-of-place oddball.
His training method was not to improve his skills and experience through constant battles with opponents, but rather to frantically search for owners of different weapon spirits.
For him, the way of fighting was already set; all he needed to do was constantly expand his resource library.
The more he sees, the more he understands, and the more he integrates, the stronger he becomes.
This is also why he insisted on not staying at Shrek Academy; only by experiencing the wonders of the Soul Master world across Douluo Continent could he maximize his own strength.
Kong Tianxu seemed to be deep in thought.
Mind controls the soul form? Changing the form and characteristics of one's own martial soul? It sounds a lot like using the body as a weapon.
Since his weapon spirit can take on completely different forms, could his own silver dragon spirit, by using the idea of possessing a true body, also transform itself into something else?
A brand new form that can perfectly coexist, complement, and even fuse with the supreme Martial Soul?
Kong Tianxu closed his eyes.
Before trying it, he would first see how the other person did it.
The next moment, the pure land shrouded by the Heavenly Commandment was removed, and Kong Tianxu stood in the center of the increasingly heavy sword intent of the sand sea. He no longer tried to resist with soul skills or pressure, but instead used his pure physical body to feel and endure the all-pervasive tempering of the sword intent!
Zhang Lexuan instinctively covered her mouth, suppressing a gasp that almost escaped her throat.
Drawing in the sword intent of others—is he insane?! Is he really that confident in himself?
Yan Shaozhe's pupils shrank sharply. In his eyes, Kong Tianxu's behavior was simply that of a madman.
The battle of sword intent is also a battle of wills. If Lin Ji's sword intent wins in the contest of wills, it will break through all the defenses in his body. Even though he already has the physique of a Super Douluo, his internal organs are still fragile!
Little did he know that Kong Tianxu possessed the Rib of Life protecting him, so any internal or external injuries, as long as they didn't touch his core, were minor.
Just when he felt it was incomprehensible, Kong Tianxu stepped forward, extremely slowly.
The first step was as heavy as a mountain.
"boom!"
The moment the foot landed, it felt as if a thousand pounds of force had slammed into the ground.
The massive sword in Lin Ji's hand, which was as steady as if it were cast in iron, seemed to be pulled by a slight but real force, and the tip of the sword trembled almost imperceptibly.
Kong Tianxu walked with faltering steps, as if carrying a mountain on his back. But a faint yet indescribable ancient and majestic aura began to quietly emerge from him.
It is still the commandment of Heaven, but something seems to have changed.
The second step was noticeably faster.
The ethereal aura gradually faded, and a deep, majestic dragon's roar resounded from the depths of his bloodline. The sense of majesty grew increasingly solid and real, revealing within it a noble air that transcended all living beings.
Step 3, Step 4 —
He seemed to gradually adapt to the immense pressure of the sword domain, and his pace became faster and faster. His initial staggering quickly disappeared, and his steps became steady and powerful.
A clear, silver dragon phantom rose up from behind Kong Tianxu, raising its head and letting out a long roar. The dust surrounding its body was unexpectedly transformed into a dazzling seven-color hue.
From heavy steps to light ones, Kong Tianxu eventually began to move with a running motion, his seven-colored halo flowing around him, as if he had forcibly carved out a path to the heavens in the invisible sea of sword intent!
Under the overwhelming sword intent of the desert, the silver dragon phantom swayed and swung its tail, as one after another, completely different weapons came at it, like the cruelest whetstone.
The silver dragon phantom became increasingly blurry, and apart from the solid dragon head, the dragon body behind it gradually stretched into a dazzling and turbulent silver light stream.
But those distinct weapon intentions, like being forged a thousand times, refined the already dazzling silver light to an even purer level, subtly adding a touch of sharpness to the flowing radiance.
He learned so fast?!
Lin Ji was shocked. He was almost at his limit. He no longer raised the greatsword above his head, but laid it flat on his back.
But to his horror, he discovered that the greatsword he had once wielded with ease was now beginning to tremble uncontrollably. His normally docile, water-like metallic soul power was now acting as if it had encountered some supreme and terrifying being, beginning to surge wildly and agitate, threatening to break free of his control. Even the Xuan Tie Heavy Sword Martial Soul itself was emitting a low, mournful wail.
We can't delay any longer!
Lin Ji steeled his resolve, pouring all his soul power into the sword. The heavy black iron sword, seemingly imbued with the weight of the entire desert, swung out with a third strike! A mountain crumbled!
It was like a lone peak collapsing, or a vast ocean being overturned.
The power of this attack is already infinitely close to that of a Title Douluo!
But as if it had been planned in advance, just as Lin Ji's sword was about to be drawn, Kong Tianxu raised his right hand, pressed his palm against the top of the silver dragon head behind him, which was already blurred to the extreme, and then swung his arm.
A bizarre scene unfolded: the magnificent silver dragon comet seemed to be swallowing water as it converged on Kong Tianxu's swinging right arm.
A dazzling silver light, like a galaxy compressed to its limit, bursts forth from within!
When Kong Tianxu swung his arm over his head, he already had a slender longsword in his hand.
Describing this greatsword as slender might be somewhat inappropriate; its length even exceeds that of an adult. The hilt alone, carved with a coiled silver dragon, is about half a meter long, exuding a noble and majestic aura. The blade itself is two meters long, not made of metal, but displaying a dreamlike seven-colored hue, its inner radiance concealing a condensed rainbow.
Overall, it is magnificent, majestic, and mysterious, exuding a sacred, otherworldly aura. Rather than a weapon for combat, it is more like a symbol of supreme authority.
But the moment it appeared, its terrifying sword intent tore a huge hole in space itself.
What is this? Everyone was confused.
It is still the ultimate combat technique that combines spiritual power, pure soul power, speed and physical attack: the Heavenly Commandment!
This time, however, it no longer relied solely on its original martial soul. The ancient bloodline power of the silver dragon surged and roared, merging into it. Furthermore, under the unique tempering of the Sand Sea Sword Domain, which forged the intent of countless weapons, it honed a sharp and unapproachable true intent.
