"Elemental Fusion."
The Silver Dragon Spear in her hand emitted a faint glow.
Energy from different elements began to converge, forming a massive sphere of energy.
"Release!"
With a sweep of the long spear.
The soul power sphere, radiating multiple elemental forces, flew towards Dugu Yan's position.
Just seven or eight meters before reaching Dugu Yan, it abruptly expanded, releasing a dazzling radiance.
Then, a scorching heatwave swept across the entire competition ground.
The rolling heatwave spread towards the edges of the arena and even further beyond.
Qian Daoliu abruptly appeared above the arena.
"Angel's Holy Light."
As his voice fell, the Martial Soul behind him released a pure, clean light that purified the rampant heatwave spreading beyond the arena towards the spectator stands, preventing harm to innocents.
Afterwards, Qian Daoliu returned to the viewing seats and gave Gu Yuena an almost imperceptible nod.
By now, the explosive energy on the competition ground had already dissipated.
An aura of ice and fire emanated from Gu Yuena's body, blocking away the residual waves of poisonous mist from the explosion.
As for Dugu Yan, she didn't defend at all. The spreading poison seemed to have not the slightest effect on her.
Then, there was a certain pitiful, weak, and helpless Ning Rongrong.
The Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda in her hand emitted a faint glow, noticed by almost no one except a scant few.
She deliberately fabricated the soul power fluctuation of using a soul bone to create a misconception.
Even amidst the explosive smoke, Ning Rongrong noticed the clandestine affair between Gu Yuena and Qian Daoliu.
"Is she already considering whether the power of the Angel Martial Soul can purify the Misfortune Poison?"
Gu Yuena, she really is preparing for Qian Renxue!
It's just unknown what price Qian Daoliu paid to make the Silver Dragon King willing to put on this act.
"Should I raise the stakes?" Ning Rongrong's gaze turned towards the distant Dugu Yan.
Right now, the only thing Dugu Yan hadn't used yet was Soul Ring Fusion.
The ability of Soul Ring Fusion, with Dugu Yan at level 68, plus her four-ring assistance.
The power erupted through the fifth soul ring via Soul Ring Fusion would absolutely be comparable to that of a Soul Douluo. Even if a Soul Douluo touched it and tried to face it head-on, they would most likely meet their end.
Two and a half years ago, when Dugu Yan was just a mere Soul King, relying on the Soul Ring Fusion skill to use the fifth ring's Misfortune Poison, she almost overturned the Shui family.
Not to mention now, when she's close to becoming a Soul Sage.
Dugu Yan looked towards Gu Yuena, who had created distance and was suspended in the low air, a serious expression appearing on her face.
Flight is indeed a rarity except for certain flying-type Soul Masters, but in this tournament, the audience has seen plenty of great storms and waves.
Soul Ring Fusion, Martial Soul Fusion Techniques, even confrontations between Limit Douluos.
The fact that Gu Yuena could hover in mid-air didn't cause too much surprise either.
Perhaps they just think such a powerful Soul Master, with super-matched soul rings, having the ability to fly is nothing special?
"Gu Yuena, what are you probing for?"
"If you have the skill, come at me directly!"
Dugu Yan didn't have clear evidence, but the other party's combat experience and技巧, even now, were far above hers.
To be honest, Dugu Yan never thought she could win.
But...
Wanting to probe Ning Rongrong without defeating her first? Wishful thinking.
"Should I use Soul Ring Fusion?" Dugu Yan was somewhat worried.
Although she had mastered her domain, the terrifying power of the Misfortune Poison produced by Soul Ring Fusion still made Dugu Yan quite apprehensive.
"Rongrong..."
Dugu Yan retreated to Ning Rongrong's side.
"Feel free to do it!"
"I've got everything under control." Ning Rongrong slightly clenched her fist, encouraging Dugu Yan, "Go, make the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan greater."
Dugu Yan: "..."
Rongrong, having a sporadic lapse again.
But, if Rongrong is confident, then what does she have to hesitate about?
As for the final match against Qian Renxue...
That probably will be Rongrong's matter.
Dugu Yan stepped forward, once again facing off against Gu Yuena in the low air.
Her pitch-black pupils gained a faint green halo. Her hair, which had turned white for unknown reasons, began to change gradually.
Starting from the tips, it slowly turned a light green color.
From the pores on her skin, faint green mist seeped out, evaporating into the air like fragrant sweat, forming a peculiar spherical aura around her.
"Her aura has changed." A trace of surprise flashed across Gu Yuena's face.
She is indeed very different from ordinary Soul Masters.
Poison—
As the well-informed Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena quickly discovered what set Dugu Yan apart from ordinary Soul Masters.
Blood, hair, bones...
They were actually completely fused with a terrifying potent poison, and this bizarre poison.
If one wasn't careful, it could seep into the soul. But judging by her condition, not only her body, but probably even her soul was green too!
Meaning, apart from her consciousness, almost everything about Dugu Yan was constructed from a powerful and bizarre poison; she herself was a prime entity of poison.
"Truly terrifying..."
Even Ten Thousand Demon King couldn't achieve something like Dugu Yan.
Poison, in the hands of Ten Thousand Demon King, was more like a skill, not an innate instinct like it seemed to be for Dugu Yan.
"Dugu Yan, I remember your name now." Gu Yuena said seriously, "But I'm very curious, how exactly were you able to maintain conscious awareness while becoming like this?"
"Would the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan know nothing about your current condition? Or, are you their creation?"
As a participant, Gu Yuena had also paid special attention to several other contestants. Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, and Tang San were among them.
Tang San need not be mentioned; he's from the Asura God's side. But Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan were extremely mysterious.
She was certain and sure that Dugu Yan did not possess her current abilities before joining the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan.
"Whether it's the clan's creation or not, does it have anything to do with me defeating you?"
"True!" Gu Yuena shrugged, "I'm not very familiar with this method, but the consumption on the spirit aspect must be absolutely enormous. How long can you last?"
"Long enough to send you off the stage."
As she spoke, the poisonous mist around Dugu Yan merged with her Martial Soul, almost like a Martial Soul True Body.
The Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor opened its bloody m wide and lunged to bite Gu Yuena.
"It is indeed a troublesome thing, but with sufficient soul power, it can still be erased."
Gu Yuena suddenly closed her eyes.
The Silver Dragon Spear in her hand seemed to merge with her into one.
Her entire body emitted a piercing silver light, then completely disappeared as if she had entered the Silver Dragon Spear. A three-foot-long spear gleam shot from the sharp tip of the dragon spear, shining with a dazzling halo.
Fused with the Silver Dragon Spear, Gu Yuena thrust directly towards Dugu Yan.
However, the next moment.
The space around the Silver Dragon Spear twists, as if entering a different dimension.
It passed directly through Dugu Yan's position, as if having become intangible.
After passing through the area of the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor, Gu Yuena, fused with the Silver Dragon Spear, directly targeted Ning Rongrong.
The intangible turned substantial again as she revealed herself.
"What!?"
Dugu Yan was shocked, her expression changing dramatically.
But it was already too late.
"Rongrong!"
Even though she knew Ning Rongrong likely wouldn't be harmed, she couldn't help but feel worried.
"At ease."
Dugu Yan's mind received Ning Rongrong's voice.
"Transmitting sound through an overlapped state?" A trace of doubt flashed through Dugu Yan's mind, but she completely suppressed the thought of using Soul Ring Fusion.
Her hair was still green, but she didn't immediately rush to rescue, as it was too late anyway.
Watching the approaching Silver Dragon Spear, a faint light flickered within the Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda Ning Rongrong held.
Watching the approaching Silver Dragon Spear, a faint light flickered within the Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda Ning Rongrong held.
A long sword emitting a holy aura appeared in her hand, its sacred luster interweaving with that of the Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda.
Qian Daoliu was the first to react, his pupils dilating. He immediately stood up, eyes bulging, staring fixedly at the arena's location:
"The Angel God's Angel Holy Sword!"
