Chapter 160 Half-Year Ice Sky Douluo VS Giant Hammer Douluo
Time flies, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
Ling Ya could have left much earlier, since observing the level-eight soul tool, the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade, wouldn't have taken this long. However, he stayed on the grounds that he had become friends with Zi Ling Douluo and wanted to continue researching soul tools with him.
This made Xu Jiujiu secretly think that the plan was perfect.
Little did she know, her plan was part of Dai Youheng's plan. Ling Ya perfectly took advantage of Xu Jiujiu's desire to recruit him, and naturally and reasonably stayed by Dai Youheng's side for a long time, becoming his most solid shield on the surface.
Even to outsiders, Ling Ya and Dai Youheng were bound together by their shared love of swords and had become close friends despite their age difference.
On this day, the sky above Xingluo Imperial City suddenly changed, with two majestic and vast auras confronting each other like mountains, attracting the attention of countless powerful figures in the capital.
The two combatants were a renowned, powerful, titled Douluo of the Star Luo Empire, the Giant Hammer Douluo. He was as imposing as an iron tower, wielding a massive warhammer the size of a door, and possessed a bold and unrestrained personality; he was a complete martial arts fanatic. The other was the Ice Sky Douluo, Ling Ya, who had risen to prominence in the past six months.
Giant Hammer Douluo was obsessed with challenging powerful opponents, especially those with ultimate attributes. For the past six months, he had repeatedly pestered Ling Ya for a challenge. Ling Ya had previously made various excuses to decline, but Dai Youheng felt it was time for Ling Ya to demonstrate his strength. So, after Ling Ya took the Snow Soul Ice Condensation Pill beforehand, he accepted Giant Hammer Douluo's challenge.
Giant Hammer Douluo is a level 2, powerful attack type titled Douluo with abundant and domineering soul power. His attacks are powerful and heavy, and his giant hammer martial soul contains a unique shock and penetrating power, making it extremely difficult to defend against.
However, he was facing Ling Ya, who was in full power and possessed the temporary ultimate ice attribute! At this moment, Ling Ya's combat strength was approaching that of a Super Douluo!
The battle was not particularly elaborate. Giant Hammer Douluo roared repeatedly, swinging his giant hammer like a storm, unleashing terrifying hammer shadows, each powerful enough to split mountains and shatter rocks, that shattered the sky and crashed down on Ling Ya.
But Ling Ya simply hovered silently in the air, his body emanating an extreme chill that seemed capable of freezing the soul. He didn't even use many soul skills; he merely waved his hand casually, and crystal-clear, yet harder than refined gold, barriers of extreme ice materialized out of thin air.
"Boom boom boom boom!"
The Giant Hammer Douluo's powerful attack, capable of collapsing mountains, only managed to knock off some ice crystals and leave shallow marks on these seemingly thin and fragile ice walls, failing to shake their foundations at all!
The absolute defense and low temperature of the ultimate ice greatly weakened or even froze the violent soul power and penetrating force contained in the hammer shadow.
Unable to break through after a prolonged assault, Giant Hammer Douluo's momentum had waned, and his body was already being invaded by the chilling energy. Ling Ya seized the opportunity and finally launched a counterattack.
He didn't use any spirit ring skills; he simply raised his left arm. Instantly, his entire arm was covered in a magnificent yet dangerous emerald green, as if sculpted from ten-thousand-year-old black ice, radiating a terrifying aura of destruction—this was the left arm bone of the seventy-thousand-year-old Ice Jade Scorpion!
Soul Bone Skill Ice Explosion!
There was no earth-shattering roar, only an extreme stillness and coldness suddenly descended!
Centered on Lingya's left arm, an invisible and intangible, yet terrifyingly cold wave, capable of freezing everything, spread out silently like a nuclear explosion. The clouds in the sky were instantly frozen, the sunlight seemed to be frozen and distorted, and everything in sight was covered with a layer of deathly gray.
The Giant Hammer Douluo, who was the first to be hit, felt his blood, bone marrow, and even the circulation of his soul power almost come to a standstill in an instant!
Just as the ice explosion was about to erupt, Ling Ya suddenly withdrew his power. After all, it was just a friendly spar; he couldn't really explode and kill Giant Hammer Douluo.
The relentless, penetrating chill relentlessly eroded the Giant Hammer Douluo's body and soul. It was a fear and suffocation born from a primal instinct. He had no doubt that if this battle hadn't taken place in the sky, the entire palace would have been frozen solid. If this hadn't been a mere sparring match where his opponent hadn't held back, he probably wouldn't have been reduced to ashes by this attack, instantly becoming part of the icy explosion!
His massive body froze in mid-air, his face filled with horror. Finally, he let out a long, bitter sigh and said with difficulty, "I've lost! Ice Void Douluo, the Ultimate Ice truly lives up to its name. The power of the Ice Explosion has left me utterly convinced!"
Below in the palace square, the spectators were already speechless with shock from the terrifying power that froze the sky in an instant.
Emperor Xu Jiawei arrived in person, with Princess Xu Jiujiu by his side, and several titled Douluo experts from the Hall of Worship also around, including Shattered Star Douluo.
Shattered Star Douluo's face was solemn, his eyes flashing with a sharp light. He slowly exhaled and exclaimed, "What terrifying power! The strongest ultimate attribute, combined with the ice-type supreme attack soul skill Ice Blast, the combined destructive power is astounding! If I had taken this attack head-on without any defense, even I would not have been able to escape unscathed."
He was a veteran Super Douluo, and even he gave such an evaluation, so one can imagine how terrifying that attack in mid-air was.
Xu Jiawei was overjoyed and clapped his hands, laughing, "Jiujiu, you have rendered a great service to the Empire this time! You have recruited such a powerful ally for my Star Luo!"
Xu Jiujiu was secretly pleased, but on the surface he remained humble and smiled, "Your Majesty is too kind. Youheng also deserves much credit for this matter. If it weren't for his affinity with His Majesty Bingkong and his repeated persuasion, His Majesty Bingkong might not have been willing to stay here for long."
"Oh?" Xu Jiawei raised an eyebrow, giving his sister a meaningful look, and teased, "You, lately, can't stop talking about Dai Youheng. What's wrong? After spending almost two years together, have you finally been moved by that kid's devotion and his current success?"
After a long while, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she turned her face away with a hint of coquettishness. "Royal brother! What nonsense are you talking about? I'm just stating the facts."
"Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore." Xu Jiawei smiled, his tone turning serious. "This young man, Dai Youheng, indeed seems to have extraordinary potential. He's devoted to you and has shown enough value to my royal family, so naturally I won't stop you. By the way, where is he? It seems I haven't seen him for quite some time."
After a long while, she suppressed her shyness and replied, "You Heng is in seclusion. He broke through to level 59 four months ago, and after another four months of arduous training, he even feels that he has recently reached the level 60 bottleneck. This seclusion is to break through to the Soul Emperor realm. Judging by the time, he should emerge from seclusion in the next day or two."
"Level 60?" A genuine surprise flashed in Xu Jiawei's eyes. "He's not even sixteen yet, is he? He's truly exceptional. He's really going all out to be worthy of you."
Regardless of the unpleasant reputation Dai Youheng had in the past as a "simp," he has now won the recognition and attention of many people, including the emperor, with his astonishing cultivation speed, unfathomable potential, and obvious affection for Xu Jiujiu.
After a long while, she nodded gently, a complex mix of emotions and appreciation in her beautiful eyes, and said softly, "Yes, he has become even more outstanding than my sister."
She's currently at level 58 in soul power, and it will take her at least another six months of hard work to break through to level 60. Meanwhile, Dai Youheng has already surpassed her, even overtaking her. Before the next Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament, he might break through to Soul Saint; his cultivation speed is truly astonishing.
During the same period, she could only reach around level 65 at most. Becoming a Soul Emperor wouldn't be difficult, but reaching the Soul Saint level was basically hopeless.
