On the huge training ground.
Xu Yue and Yang Xiong were separated by dozens of meters, facing each other from afar.
“Xu Yue, we have known each other for more than a year, and I am clear about your strength.” Yang Xiong was both full of admiration and helpless.
“If my strength were suppressed to the same level as yours, I am afraid I would be defeated in less than a move.”
“Therefore,” he paused and continued, “I have decided to calculate it based on the combat power of extreme attributes being two spirit rings higher than ordinary Spirit Masters, suppressing my spirit power to Rank 51.”
“As long as you can force me to use power higher than this Rank, you win.
How about it?”
Hearing Yang Xiong’s proposal, Xu Yue nodded slightly, a flash of Battle Intent crossing his eyes.
It was a recognized fact on the continent that extreme attribute Spirit Masters ruled in combat power at the same Rank.
If he were truly suppressed to the exact same Rank as him, it would instead become meaningless.
He immediately cupped his hands toward Yang Xiong, performing an ancient greeting.
“Xu Yue, Spirit Star of Eden, Rank 34 attack system and control system Battle Spirit Elder.”
“Please enlighten me, Teacher Yang!”
As his voice fell, three deep purple spirit rings emerged from beneath Xu Yue’s feet.
“Good!”
Yang Xiong smiled and similarly cupped his hands toward Xu Yue.
“Yang Xiong, Spirit Soul Breaking Spear, Rank 85 attack system Battle Spirit Douluo.”
Beneath his feet, six purple and two black—eight spirit rings—similarly rose.
In an instant, the tidal spirit power coercion of a mid-stage Spirit Douluo filled the entire training ground.
But this Aura did not exist for long; soon it rapidly declined and finally stopped at the strength of Rank 51.
Seeing that everything was ready, Xu Yue did not hesitate, his second spirit ring flashing and disappearing from his body.
Second Spirit Ability, Lithic Firmness!
Spirit Ability Effect: 50% increase in all attributes, 100% increase in earth element power, with elemental mimicry capability.
Immediately afterward, a thought stirred in his mind.
Countless bright yellow spirit power began to surge and gather in his hands.
In just the blink of an eye, a Rock Spear about the same length as Yang Xiong’s Soul Breaking Spear quietly took shape.
Its entire body was dark golden, as if cast from rock, and white-gold light gathered on the spear tip, possessing both the sharpness of acute metal and the heaviness of the earth.
Vortex Vanquisher!
Matched with Xu Yue’s consistent black-gold dressing style, it was enough to be called appearance-graduation.
(Black Tassel Spear: Do you not love me anymore?!)
“Teacher Yang, I am coming!”
Looking at Yang Xiong who was motionless not far away, Xu Yue took the initiative to launch an attack.
With a step of his feet, the ground of the training ground trembled for a while.
Under the amplification of the second Spirit Ability, his powerful physical fitness directly shattered the air. This story is hosted at g.com.
Holding the Vortex Vanquisher forward, he mercilessly thrust it toward Yang Xiong.
Rip!
The spear tip tore through the air, emitting a harsh buzzing sound.
“Well struck!”
Seeing this spear strike, Yang Xiong’s eyes narrowed as he let out a loud shout.
Immediately, the Soul Breaking Spear in his hand rushed out like a black dragon, similarly greeting the Vortex Vanquisher.
Clang!
The harsh sound of metal clashing exploded in the training room, and the black and gold spirit power fluctuations rippled outward like a vortex.
But soon, following the collision of the first strike.
Increasingly dense sounds of metal clashing exploded one after another.
Clang, clang, clang…
As soon as the battle began, Xu Yue and Yang Xiong did not use any other Spirit abilities, relying entirely on the Soul Breaking Spear techniques to counter the enemy.
But this state only lasted for less than half a minute before Yang Xiong praised aloud in admiration.
“Xu Yue, your Soul Breaking Spear technique has reached Major Achievement, and your attainment is not inferior to mine in the slightest.”
“In this aspect alone, you have already graduated.”
“Then, let us officially battle next!”
As his words fell, without waiting for Xu Yue to reply, he stepped backward with his feet.
In the gap of the attack, his entire figure suddenly swept a half-circle, and the Soul Breaking Spear in his hand swept horizontally toward Xu Yue’s side.
Soul Breaking Spear Technique: Black Dragon Swishing Tail!
At the same time, the purple spirit ring beneath his feet flashed.
First Spirit Ability “Quake”, Second Spirit Ability “Burst”.
Dual Spirit abilities were released simultaneously.
In an instant, a rich black light rose on the already sharp Soul Breaking Spear, and an extremely domineering Aura rushed straight toward Xu Yue’s face.
Twenty thousand years ago, the Breaking Clan was already famous across the continent for its extreme attacks.
And in this era today, Soul Breaking Spear Spirit Masters pushed the attribute of attack to the extreme!
Speaking solely of this aspect, there were truly not many Spirit Masters on the continent who could surpass them among the same Rank.
Seeing the Soul Breaking Spear striking over, Xu Yue’s eyes narrowed, but his feet did not dodge at all.
He horizontally blocked and parried with the Vortex Vanquisher in his hand, his first spirit ring flashing.
First Spirit Ability, Jade Shield.
Boom!
A bright yellow shockwave exploded from around his body, sweeping the surrounding five-meter range.
It was just that the first Spirit Ability was originally a defensive-type Spirit Ability, and its attached attack was not very strong.
Naturally, it would not cause much DMG to the attacking Yang Xiong.
The moment the Jade Shield rose, Yang Xiong’s Soul Breaking Spear heavily smashed onto the shaft of the Vortex Vanquisher.
A loud crash rang out.
The rich black light turned into a strong shockwave and exploded.
So much so that the Jade Shield kept flickering.
However, under such a blow from Yang Xiong, Xu Yue’s steps did not move at all, still standing firmly in place.
It was as if what had just been hit was not a person, but a tall mountain standing tall for tens of millions of years without falling.
Under the linkage of the first and second Spirit abilities, a special effect was attached.
Solid Rock Tyrant Body!
Lithic Firmness, Unyielding!
Yang Xiong was naturally not surprised that the strike failed to take effect.
If he could win just like this, then his teaching this past year would have been in vain.
The next moment,
Xu Yue’s eyes narrowed, and he gently waved the Vortex Vanquisher, pushing the Soul Breaking Spear away as he said in a deep voice: “Teacher Yang, courtesy demands reciprocity; it is my turn now!”
“Good…”
As soon as the single word left Yang Xiong’s mouth, he felt his whole body crash into a deep sea of ten thousand zhang.
Pervasive power began to squeeze his whole body, placing heavy shackles on everything from his surface muscles to his internal organs.
If he used his Spirit Douluo-level strength, he could ignore it, but right now he was only at the Spirit King Rank, making it difficult to shake off.
For a time, both speed and attack decreased by at least more than twenty percent.
And Xu Yue’s attack had already arrived upon him at this moment.
The dark golden spear shaft resembled a rock dragon bursting out of the ground, carrying an oppressive feeling like a collapsing mountain as it smashed straight down.
Facing this blow, Yang Xiong did not dare to ignore it, raising the Soul Breaking Spear in his hand to attack as defense!
However, the moment the Vortex Vanquisher and the Soul Breaking Spear collided again.
Xu Yue gently turned his wrist, and a formless power wrapped around the spear shaft, abruptly accelerating his attack speed.
Gravity Domain, eightfold amplification!
The Rock Spear, which was already condensed from extreme earth elements, was not light in weight, weighing several hundred catties.
Speed, pressure, plus the amplification of the Gravity Domain—how could the force of this blow be just a few tons?
In an instant, Yang Xiong’s expression changed slightly, but this change was too rapid, leaving him with almost no reaction time.
Boom!
The two long spears collided heavily.
Hiss!
Yang Xiong retreated three or four steps in succession, the shaft of the Soul Breaking Spear in his hands trembling violently.
Even if he forcibly suppressed it, he could not eliminate the vibration of the spear shaft in a short time.
