"Who is it?" Zhao Wuji suddenly stood up, his eyes flashing with cold light. His reputation in the soul master world was not very good, and he had many enemies. Although he had lived in peace at Shrek Academy these years, he didn't expect a powerful opponent to suddenly appear at this moment.
"Come out." A faint, almost imperceptible aura locked onto Zhao Wuji's body.
Without hesitation, Zhao Wuji leaped out of the window and into the open. His soul power surged to its peak as he cautiously defended and searched for movements around him.
"Come out, I know you're here." Zhao Wuji said in a low voice. At the same time, he completed his martial soul possession. Seven soul rings surrounded him, flickering with dazzling light, especially the three black, ten-thousand-year soul rings, which were incredibly deep and shocking.
A figure in black slowly walked out from behind a large tree. The person was entirely cloaked in black, including a black hood, and from the appearance, it could only be seen that the person was a tall man.
"Who are you?" Zhao Wuji asked coldly. He had already activated his Great Strength Vajra Bear martial soul and released a wild aura, exuding an imposing presence.
The black-clad man did not directly answer but calmly said, "I just wanted to have a spar with you after seeing the Immovable King here. It's been a long time since I've stretched my muscles."
...
In a single-person dormitory, Gu Chen was sitting on his bed.
"Beep!"
"Reward has been released, please collect it in time."
"Collect the secret technique 'Sound Becoming Lines,'" Gu Chen muttered.
"Beep!"
"Secret technique 'Sound Becoming Lines' has been successfully collected, please choose the method of acquisition:
Engraved into the mind.
Converted into book form."
Gu Chen was taken aback, "Hmm, why was the 'Xuan Yu Hand' directly engraved into my mind without giving me a choice before?"
"Beep!"
"The 'Xuan Yu Hand' secret technique already exists in this plane, so it is directly engraved. The 'Sound Becoming Lines' technique does not exist in this plane, so the host can choose to convert it into book form."
Gu Chen nodded and chose to have it directly engraved into his mind.
Immediately, the knowledge of 'Sound Becoming Lines' appeared in his mind. Originally, only Title Douluo could use this telepathic ability, but from now on, there would be no rank limitation!
"Extract secret technique 'Shrink the Earth to an Inch,'" Gu Chen said.
In the next moment, a large amount of knowledge entered his mind again.
Unlike the secret techniques, the secret skills could allow the host to directly possess them without starting from scratch.
"Uh..."
"Ah..."
"Ah!"
At this moment, faint sounds reached Gu Chen's ears. He easily recognized them as Zhao Wuji's agonized screams.
"Did Tang Hao arrive?" A smile appeared on Gu Chen's face as he quickly climbed out the window and used 'Shrink the Earth to an Inch' to rush towards the source of the sounds.
Soon, Gu Chen arrived at the source and hid behind a tree, quietly waiting.
"That just now was my compensation to you. After this, I'll be troubling you," the black-clad man said, his voice no longer cold but still calm. Behind his black mask, his deep eyes revealed a hint of warmth.
Suddenly, the black-clad man looked in Gu Chen's direction: "Aren't you going to come out?"
Is there someone else?
Zhao Wujieand the nearby man immediately became alert and looked at the tree where Gu Chen was hiding.
Seeing that he had been discovered, Gu Chen no longer hid and walked out.
"Greetings, Clear Sky Douluo," Gu Chen smiled, elegantly greeting.
"It's you?" Tang Hao frowned. As Tang San's best friend, Tang Hao naturally knew him, "What's the matter?"
"I came here to spar with you," Gu Chen said, grinning.
Of course, he wasn't here to get beaten; at this moment, Gu Chen didn't even know how strong he really was.
The numbers given by the system were not enough to let Gu Chen understand his true power.
Tang Hao smiled faintly: "You know I'm a Title Douluo, and you still want to spar with me? It's not good to overestimate yourself."
"But since you asked, I'll indulge you. How about this: you attack me with everything you have, while I don't use my martial soul or soul power, and we'll fight relying only on physical strength, how about it?" Tang Hao said. After all, he was a Title Douluo and couldn't perceive the existence of the Golden Dragon King; after all, the Golden Dragon King was at the level of a God.
Gu Chen nodded. The Golden Dragon King took possession, and golden scales instantly covered his body.
"Kid, there's a difference between a Title Douluo and a Soul Sage!" Zhao Wujie spoke.
"I know." Gu Chen said as he charged at Tang Hao, his right hand extending to strike with his Golden Dragon Claw, which had a tearing effect.
Bang!
Tang Hao didn't dodge but stretched out his right hand, gripping Gu Chen's Golden Dragon Claw tightly!
But Gu Chen's Golden Dragon Claw came with the penetration attribute of the Golden Dragon King, and in order to avoid getting hurt, Tang Hao had to retreat a few steps.
Tang Hao looked at Gu Chen with a different expression: "To force back a Title Douluo, you're truly a one-in-a-million genius!"
"You're overpraising me!" Gu Chen said, and his first soul ring lit up.
Golden Dragon Shock!
A soul-powered golden dragon surged towards Tang Hao.
Tang Hao stepped back and avoided the attack, then threw a punch, shattering Gu Chen's golden dragon!
Golden Dragon Spear!
Whoosh!
A golden light flashed, and the light intensified at his palm before stretching to both ends, transforming into a long spear.
The spear was sharp at both ends, golden throughout, emitting a strong golden glow, and faintly, the sound of a dragon's roar echoed.
Gu Chen swung the Golden Dragon Spear, the tip aimed directly at Tang Hao!
"Dual martial souls?!" Tang Hao said in surprise.
"This is just a companion weapon," Gu Chen said. Although, it should be considered a companion divine weapon.
Gu Chen thrust the Golden Dragon Spear, and Tang Hao gripped its tip with both hands, trying to stop it, but the next moment, his face changed drastically as the Golden Dragon Spear started devouring his soul power!
Tang Hao quickly let go and kicked at the shaft of the spear.
Gu Chen was quick to react, retracting the spear. His third soul ring, a black one, lit up, and he used Golden Dragon Flight.
Golden dragon wings spread, and Gu Chen's body instantly flew into the air.
"Trying to run?" Tang Hao stomped the ground. His body shot out like an arrow, heading towards Gu Chen.
But remember, the air was the domain of Gu Chen, who had dragon wings. With the help of the golden dragon wings, he flew behind Tang Hao, and the Golden Dragon Spear thrust out again.
Tang Hao, a Title Douluo capable of defeating the Pope, used his strength to forcibly alter his direction in midair and punched the Golden Dragon Spear.
Title Douluo's power was no joke, and Gu Chen's body was sent flying a hundred meters away, crashing hard to the ground. However, thanks to his golden scales' defense, he wasn't injured.
Seeing Tang Hao's next punch coming, Gu Chen quickly shouted, "Clear Sky Douluo, let's stop here!"
Tang Hao paused and lowered his hand: "With your power, you could probably kill a Soul Sage. From now on, just call me Uncle Hao."
Gu Chen was stunned for a moment, then nodded without changing his expression, "Yes, Uncle Hao."
Tang Hao patted Gu Chen's shoulder: "You heard the relationship between me and Xiao San. Please take care of him for me in the future. You are his older brother after all."
Gu Chen replied, "But I won't stay here for too long. I still have my own things to do. But don't worry, as long as I'm at Shrek Academy, I'll look after Xiao San."
Though, not for much longer...
