Chapter 199 The Radiance of the Full Moon, The True Form of the Silver Dragon
Silver Dragon Sword!
The sword rises.
A clear and melodious sword cry, like the roar of a dragon, rang out.
A silvery light swept by like water.
"Snap—"
Even before the Beast King Douluo Gong Changlong could hesitate to intervene in this earth-shattering clash, the teeth-grinding cracking sound suddenly rang out. The Xuan Tie Heavy Sword, seemingly capable of splitting mountains, shattered inch by inch from the point of contact with that seemingly light and graceful seven-colored silver light, turning into countless tiny specks of light and metal fragments that scattered in all directions.
With his martial spirit shattered, Lin Ji felt as if he had been struck by an ancient giant hammer. His tiger's mouth split open, blood gushing out, and he was sent flying backward, the blood spurting from his mouth drawing a dazzling arc in the air.
The brothers are of one mind, especially since their martial spirits are closely intertwined. Lin Ji was severely injured, and Lin Li immediately bled from his mouth and nose.
But now, there was no trace of arrogance on his face. His eyes were wide open, and he muttered with his mouth agape, "He can even beat this? He's a monster. Looks like my defeat wasn't unjustified."
Kong Tianxu remained standing in the same spot, looking down slightly at the Silver Dragon Sword in his hand, which was so blunt it seemed unsharpened, yet contained unimaginable power.
The Heavenly Commandment seems to have undergone some subtle yet profound changes due to the tempering and transformation of its vessel.
With a flick of the wrist, seven-colored silver light scattered, and the majestic silver dragon sword quietly vanished without a trace.
With a calm gaze sweeping across the referee's bench and the waiting area, Kong Tianxu's voice clearly echoed throughout the arena: "Next."
After saying that, he actually sat down cross-legged on the spot and entered a state of meditation again.
The battle just now didn't consume a lot of soul power, but the burden on the physical body was far greater than before.
Unlike the last competition, the Heavenly Commandment at that time was based on the second awakening of the main body's martial soul, combined with the ultimate burst of spiritual power, when the soul power was relatively weak.
This time, however, it is based on even stronger physical strength, combined with soul power, to evolve into a higher level of application.
It should have gone a step further, perfectly unifying the power of the martial soul's origin, the characteristics of the soul rings and soul bones, while also possessing both.
But in that case, Lin Ji would probably be annihilated before the sword even arrives, and he himself would be exhausted and unable to fight anymore.
Unfortunately, the oppressive power of this heavy swordsman was ultimately lacking by just a little bit.
Under Kong Tianxu's internal vision, the familiar golden-red light shone in every meridian. During the battle, the remaining medicinal power of the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red was further stimulated, and it fused more deeply with his body, silently strengthening every inch of his physique.
At the same time, a deeper question arose in his mind:
How can the three super martial souls—Silver Dragon, Supreme Body, and Holy Spirit Puppet—be integrated to evolve into an ultimate offensive form?
From the outside, all that could be seen was a faint pink halo emanating from Kong Tianxu's body, which then slowly receded.
After a brief silence, the stands erupted in cheers.
Another defeat!
Lin Sandao, who consistently ranked among the top three in the Inner Court and whose direct offensive capabilities were monstrous, was surprisingly defeated by this Soul Master who was only a sixth-ringed cultivator in a straightforward, unpretentious clash of strength.
The opponent, however, was not even sixteen years old.
So, wouldn't Kong Tianxu be the next one to truly challenge those two?
Like countless other inner court disciples, Bei Bei involuntarily turned her gaze to the two figures standing quietly one in front of the other on the podium.
Jin Yehuan's lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but before he could speak, Zhang Lexuan in front of him floated down to the field and nodded slightly to Gong Changlong on the referee's stand.
Upon seeing Zhang Lexuan's appearance, all the inner courtyard disciples fell silent, seemingly infected by her serene aura.
This strange tranquility spread like ripples on water, quickly reaching the area where the faculty and students of the outer academy were located. The Soul Battle Zone, which had just been in complete chaos, returned to order at an unimaginable speed.
Even Gong Changlong, whose face had been tense the whole time, relaxed a little and nodded to Zhang Lexuan in response.
Simply because she is Zhang Lexuan, she possesses such magic that she captivates people at first sight and calms their spirits upon hearing her voice.
Upon seeing this, Yan Shaozhe, who had originally intended to step forward and reprimand Yan Shaozhe, sat back down in his chair and nodded to himself.
Le Xuan's personal charm remains outstanding, making her truly the best candidate for the future leader of the Sea God Pavilion. Even disregarding individual strength, and considering Yan Shaozhe's bias, it seems more suitable for her to lead Shrek Academy than Ma Xiaotao.
As for Huo Yuhao, Yan Shaozhe believed he had no prejudice against him, but there was still a barrier between them. He didn't feel the same sense of closeness and reassurance as he did with the two girls he had watched grow up.
In the arena, Zhang Lexuan watched Kong Tianxu quietly sitting cross-legged and regulating his breathing. She then imitated him and sat down cross-legged not far away from him. Her long, black hair cascaded down to her waist, and her hands, except for her thumbs, were elegantly crossed with the other eight fingers gently touching, resting steadily on her calves.
She stared at Kong Tianxu's face, her eyes seeing nothing else, exuding tranquility and gentleness.
A quarter of an hour later, Kong Tianxu opened his eyes, his pupils gleaming with silver light, and stood up.
The pressure of battle was indeed the best way for him to break through. His aura not only did not weaken due to the series of fierce battles, but became more condensed and powerful, with almost no intention of concealing it. Fine silver dragon scales silently emerged from under his skin, covering him with a magnificent and majestic dragon armor.
Looking in the direction of his opponent, Kong Tianxu's originally imposing gaze softened considerably. Zhang Lexuan had changed back into her smart white outfit, her long hair tied up, her expression calm. The sharpness of a sword turned into a gentle, ticklish caress on her, truly a steel tempered into a soft touch.
Even Zhang Lexuan quickly succumbed to such gazes.
Her eyes remained wise and clear, but a faint blush crept onto her fair and flawless, dignified face.
They looked at each other, and the corners of their mouths turned up at the same time.
What appeared to be a fierce exchange of blows, in the eyes of Meng Hongchen watching from afar, revealed a completely different meaning in the subtle interactions between the two, setting off alarm bells in her heart.
Meanwhile, in front of the live broadcast screen of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Xu Tianzhen's gaze sharpened. She sensed a similar aura from this woman.
Cain didn't even blink.
There she is! A third woman!
"Are you sure you want to fight me? There's absolutely no way you can beat me." Kong Tianxu spoke first, his expression suddenly becoming serious, but a hint of a smile appeared in his eyes.
Zhang Lexuan was also surprised to find that her expression was somewhat out of control. She slightly composed herself and gave a look that was both coquettish and reproachful.
"Before I obtained my eighth spirit ring, I was indeed no match for you, but thanks to you—"
Without needing to say more, the fighting spirit was already aroused, and a burst of light instantly shone behind Zhang Lexuan!
Two yellow, two purple, three black, and one red—eight spirit rings leaped out of the moonlight and rose rapidly from beneath her feet, their swirling patterns echoing.
Contra! When the eighth red spirit ring, symbolizing 100,000 years of cultivation, suddenly appeared, exclamations of surprise erupted from the Shrek Academy side.
Since returning from the Starry Sky Soul Hunting Operation, Zhang Lexuan has basically not made any moves, so few people know that at only twenty-six years old, she has broken Shrek Academy's three-thousand-year historical record, becoming an eight-ring Soul Douluo, with her eighth soul ring being the highest in the Soul Master world, a hundred thousand years.
At this moment, at least in terms of spirit rings, Zhang Lexuan was already not much inferior to Kong Tianxu, which undoubtedly gave the Shrek Academy members watching the battle a strong boost of confidence.
A bright, illusory crescent moon quietly appeared in the air behind Zhang Lexuan. Without the slightest hesitation, she pointed her right hand forward with her fingers like a sword.
The first and third spirit rings shone brightly at the same time.
A beam of condensed, almost tangible, silvery-white moonlight shot out first from the crescent moon behind her. Then, an even softer beam of moonlight fell upon her, making her radiance even brighter and her aura subtly rising.
Moonrise!
However, this was only the beginning. Zhang Lexuan knew Kong Tianxu's strength well, so she clasped her hands together in front of her chest, and the light of the crescent moon behind her intensified.
The fifth spirit ring flashed with black light, and the crescent moon in the sky suddenly separated, instantly transforming into two golden crescent moons exuding a sharp and murderous aura.
The moon sets!
Two golden crescent moons, like the scythes of death, slashed at Kong Tianxu from the left and right with a piercing sound, leaving faint burn marks in the space where the moonlight passed, their power terrifying.
Faced with this overwhelming pressure from the very beginning, Kong Tianxu simply waved his arm, and the Silver Dragon Sword, shimmering with seven-colored silver light, reappeared in his hand out of thin air.
The sword light spun lightly, like a dragon swimming, and as the moon rose and set, it was instantly pulverized, turning into the golden and silver sharpness at both ends of the blade. With a backhand swing from Kong Tianxu, it swept back at an even faster speed.
No one noticed that the aura of the silver dragon-shaped hilt had suddenly increased after being polished by the two crescent-shaped scythes.
The attack was easily countered by Kong Tianxu. Zhang Lexuan was not impatient at all. The light in her eyes suddenly became crystal clear, and her body turned completely silver-white, merging into the crescent moon behind her.
The crescent moon instantly filled out, transforming into a full, round moon.
In mid-air, the bright moon expanded at an astonishing speed, and in the blink of an eye, it had exceeded a hundred meters in diameter, illuminating the entire Soul Fighting Zone into a brilliant silver-white world.
A 100,000-year-old soul bone technique, Moonlight!
The two sword lights unleashed by Kong Tianxu vanished into thin air in this dazzling silver-white world, as if Zhang Lexuan had disappeared without a trace.
From the viewing platform, the interior of the Soul Arena was completely obscured, replaced by a blinding expanse of silvery white. Even Gong Changlong, who was inside, couldn't pinpoint Zhang Lexuan's location and had to divert some of his soul power to resist the relentless corrosive force of the powerful moonlight.
Kong Tianxu, who was in the core area, naturally bore the greatest pressure. However, he stood quietly in place and closed his eyes.
With a flick of his wrist, the longsword transformed into a silver dragon protecting his body, swirling around him. A faint layer of silver mist began to rise from Kong Tianxu's body.
He stood motionless in the center of the silvery-white world, like a sculpture.
Zhang Lexuan frowned slightly at Kong Tianxu's inaction.
With her body merged with the moon, she now held an absolute advantage in terms of terrain. This moonlight was not only a ranged attack that continuously eroded and weakened her opponent with the power of pure moonlight, but more importantly, it could constantly condense and absorb the omnipresent essence of the moon in the world.
The longer it lasts, the greater the energy accumulated. Not only does it allow the corrosive power within the domain to continuously increase, but she can also control this power, accumulating it to a certain level before unleashing an attack; its power is unimaginable.
But she also refrained from making any rash moves. Although Kong Tianxu stood there like a statue, he was like a live volcano that could erupt at any moment; once he did, it would be earth-shattering.
The atmosphere was extremely tense, both on and off the stage. Many inner court students also stood up.
They all knew very well that if Zhang Lexuan lost this match, then even if Jin Yehuan won in the end, it would be meaningless.
If a six-ringed opponent can defeat an eight-ringed opponent across two entire ranks in a fair and square battle, then such a victory would be unprecedented in the entire history of Soul Masters.
Moreover, this is the most outstanding student in the inner academy, a top genius with a 100,000-year soul ring, not just an ordinary eight-ring Soul Douluo from the outside world.
A silvery-white light filled the room, and everything seemed to stand still as a minute quietly passed.
Looking at Kong Tianxu, who stood motionless in place, Zhang Lexuan felt a little sorry for him. The blood-red light of the 100,000 soul rings flashed and then disappeared. In the end, the deep black light that lit up was the sixth one.
The intense silvery-white color suddenly contracted inward at an astonishing speed.
As you can see, the ground in the Soul Arena has been completely corroded into a silvery hue, even sunken in a full foot deep. The silvery-white light converging in one direction is also becoming increasingly dark, and at the center of the full moon, a point of pitch-black light is rapidly expanding, emitting a terrifying wave of destruction.
Sixth Soul Skill - Annihilation of Moonlight!
The dark moonlight locked onto Kong Tianxu, silent yet swift as lightning, instantly traversing the distance between the two.
But Kong Tianxu didn't move!
Upon revealing her form, Zhang Lexuan subconsciously withdrew her subsequent soul skill, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief.
Although Moonlight Annihilation is not as powerful as her 100,000-year-old soul skill Blood Moon Eclipse, it is still a single-target killing soul skill with extremely concentrated attack power. After the moonlight has been charged for so long, its power has already undergone a qualitative change.
To put it bluntly, the power of this single strike surpassed Lin Ji's previous Mountain Collapse, reaching the destructive power of a true Title Douluo.
This is the gap between the Contra level and the Soul Saint, a chasm. Kong Tianxu couldn't possibly be unaware of the power within it, but why?
Just as Zhang Lexuan was about to make a desperate move and forcibly reverse the position of her soul skill using a secret technique, a strange scene unfolded.
The rapidly converging silver moonlight suddenly paused without warning, followed by a resounding dragon roar.
This dragon's roar contained extremely strong spiritual power. Even Zhang Lexuan's hand movements stopped. The dark moonlight struck Kong Tianxu's chest without any hindrance and instantly disappeared into the silver dragon scales.
An explosion? No, not even a sound was heard.
Immediately afterwards, an incredibly dazzling light shone at that point.
Suddenly, a silvery-white light, even more dazzling and sacred than Zhang Lexuan's moonlight, emanated from Kong Tianxu's body!
The light was not a reflection, but rather emanated from within him, perfectly blending with his own silver dragon radiance.
His silver dragon scales seemed to be fully activated, flowing with a dreamlike seven-colored halo. Each scale became clearer and more majestic, exuding an ancient and noble bloodline pressure.
The next moment, the radiance vanished.
In the arena, the dazzling silver-white light slowly receded, finally converging at one point.
It was a colossal dragon, over fifteen meters long, its entire body covered in shimmering silver scales. Its lines were graceful yet powerful, each scale shimmering with a light that blended moonlight and sunlight. Its ancient and majestic aura was like a tangible tsunami, washing over the souls of everyone present.
Even Yan Shaozhe gasped in surprise.
The silver dragon spread its wings, and at the intersection of two striking and gorgeous golden lines, the huge dragon head lowered slightly. Its deep purple-gold dragon eyes, as deep as the universe, were calmly watching Zhang Lexuan, who appeared incredibly small in front of it.
