After learning why Dugu Bo suddenly wanted to spar with him, Yun Chuan no longer held back. He sent a reply through his attendants, the content roughly: Time and place, you decide!
After all, both were distinguished figures. As a Title Douluo at the pinnacle of the Soul Master hierarchy, a sparring match could not be trivial. They needed an appropriate date, a suitable location, and of course, the right audience.
Soon, Dugu Bo sent back a message: Three days later, the border desert. Your arrival is awaited.
The so-called border desert was located at the junction of the Tiandou Empire and the Xingluo Empire—a desolate sandy region.
The reason Dugu Bo chose such a distant location was simple: his attacks relied heavily on toxins, and if unleashed recklessly, these toxins could contaminate water sources, potentially causing mass civilian deaths.
Thus, the troublesome Dugu Bo selected a barren desert. Moreover, this lifeless area was disadvantageous for plant-type Soul Masters like Yun Chuan. Many plant-type Soul Masters rely on surrounding flora to enhance the potency of their abilities, so the environment gave Dugu Bo an advantage.
Although Yun Chuan's Blue Silver Grass was considered a "waste" martial soul and his combat strength as a Douluo might not be overwhelming, anyone capable of becoming a Title Douluo was not to be underestimated. Dugu Bo could not take him lightly.
News of the sparring match between the Blue Silver Douluo and the Poison Douluo, arranged secretly with the support of the Tiandou Royal Family, quickly spread across the empire.
The Royal Family had two purposes:
If the Blue Silver Douluo could hold his own—or even defeat—the Poison Douluo, his fame would soar. It would allow the Tiandou Empire to declare him a Guardian Douluo, serving as a great deterrent.
If the Blue Silver Douluo were killed during the sparring, the planned appointment as Guardian Douluo and potential royal recognition could quietly be rescinded, as the royal endorsement had not yet been publicly announced.
The Tiandou Royal Family had planned for both outcomes: if Yun Chuan won, all would be well; if he failed, they would pretend nothing happened. Their strategy ensured they could not lose.
...
Three days later.
Border Desert.
A small desert covering roughly 1,300 acres. The soil was so poor that no vegetation could grow, leaving the area entirely barren.
Yet today, this normally desolate desert welcomed two unexpected guests.
In the center, two figures stood facing each other, tens of meters apart—an elder and a young man.
Above the desert, a winged middle-aged man hovered in the air. Seven soul rings glowed around him, marking him as a Soul Saint. In his hands was a soul device shaped like a camera, adjusting its angle to record the two sparring Douluos below.
A match between two Title Douluos could not be witnessed in person due to the potential range of their attacks. To avoid accidents, the match was broadcast using the soul device.
This camera-like soul device was an extremely rare Ancient Soul Device, capable of transmitting real-time footage to another device, creating a modern "live broadcast" effect.
Meanwhile, in a luxurious hall, numerous well-dressed nobles sat at tables, all clearly high-status individuals, gathered to watch the match. Among them were royal figures, including the Snow Night Emperor.
At the top of the hall, a round device emitted light, projecting a dynamic three-dimensional image. The nobles focused intently on the projection, which showed the two figures facing off in the desert.
Everyone's anticipation was high; Title Douluos were at the peak of the Soul Master hierarchy, and such battles were extremely rare.
...
Desert battlefield.
Yun Chuan stood pristine in white robes, long black hair flowing, eyes calm as he observed the elder before him.
The elder was tall and thin, resembling a spear, with dark green hair and emerald-like eyes that glittered. His expression was frozen, his gray robe plain and simple—a stark contrast to Yun Chuan's snow-white attire.
"Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo," Yun Chuan addressed lightly, his voice barely audible but perfectly transmitted to Dugu Bo through refined soul power techniques.
"Blue Silver Douluo, Tang Chuan," Dugu Bo responded calmly. "To become a Title Douluo before forty… truly impressive for someone so young."
"Not at all, Senior Poison Douluo. I've long admired your name. It is an honor to battle you today," Yun Chuan replied politely. Since both had status and this was only a spar, etiquette required some formality.
After exchanging courtesies, they moved to the main event.
After revealing their cultivation levels, the battle began!
A piercing roar erupted from Dugu Bo. Nine soul rings—yellow, purple, and black—glowed around him, and jade-green light surged from his body. His seven front rings lit up simultaneously as his thin, tall form swelled, ascending into the air.
Emerald-green scales appeared on his body, diamond-shaped and resembling jade inlaid on his skin. His human form vanished, revealing his true Martial Soul—a giant green serpent, thirty meters long, as thick as a water tank.
The upper half of the serpent rose vertically, its huge green eyes chillingly staring at the diminutive Yun Chuan below. Tongue flicking, green mist drifted around it.
This was Dugu Bo's Martial Soul True Form—the Emerald Serpent Emperor.
Even against a young Blue Silver Douluo, Dugu Bo dared not underestimate him. He did not attack cautiously; his first strike was a major technique.
On the opposite side, Yun Chuan summoned his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul. Nine soul rings—yellow, purple, black, and red—hovered around him, radiating immense presence.
"Hundred-thousand-year soul ring!"
Dugu Bo's serpent eyes contracted. Although he had expected it, seeing Yun Chuan's ninth red soul ring in reality was shocking.
Even though Yun Chuan's Martial Soul was considered weak, the presence of a hundred-thousand-year soul ring meant he possessed a hundred-thousand-year soul bone. The power of such a soul bone was unimaginable—rarest of the rare.
"Senior Dugu, the environment here is unfavorable. Before we start, allow me to adjust it," Yun Chuan said, grinning as his ninth soul ring flared.
"Ninth Soul Skill: Tree Realm Descends!"
"Rumble!!!!"
The desert ground trembled violently.
Green sprouts began to emerge from the yellow sand. The sprouts grew rapidly, expanding into small trees.
Within mere breaths, the barren desert transformed into a lush, primeval forest—an instant miracle, a desert turned oasis!
The Soul Saint recording from above was dumbfounded, capturing this spectacle as it unfolded in real time.
The nobles in the hall watched the live broadcast, witnessing Yun Chuan bending nature itself, turning a desert into a forest.
The Snow Night Emperor clenched his fists in excitement. This technique was truly awe-inspiring—capable of devastating cities!
If unleashed in a major city, such as the Xingluo Empire's capital, the instant growth of massive trees could destroy all buildings, turning a metropolis into a jungle, inflicting enormous economic damage.
While the technique might not be lethal individually, on a national scale, it was terrifying. If Yun Chuan infiltrated the Xingluo Empire and executed this in multiple cities, the economic impact would be catastrophic.
The Snow Night Emperor knew he had discovered a true treasure.
He decided to spread footage of this desert-to-oasis transformation to the Xingluo Empire, establishing the presence of this extraordinary Title Douluo as a warning.
