Douluo Continent: Little Huo Niang Taken Away by Di Tian

Chapter 107 Burning the Origin of the Soul Ring

Beibei and Tangzang fought fiercely.

The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex surged with lightning, while the Clear Sky Hammer struck out like a dragon. Wherever the two passed, the ground cracked, and the muffled sound of their colliding soul power echoed like rolling thunder.

At this point, fewer than twenty people were still standing on the field.

As Xu Sanshi was intently watching the battle, a beautiful figure suddenly blocked his way.

Jiang Nannan's eyes were clear as she looked directly at him: "Fight me."

"Are you sure you want to fight?" Xu Sanshi frowned slightly, and the Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield in his hand quietly appeared.

"Confirmed." Jiang Nannan's answer was brief and forceful.

Before she finished speaking, her figure had already disappeared from the spot.

So fast!

Xu Sanshi was startled and instinctively raised his shield to block—"Clang!"

The crisp sound of metal clashing exploded, and Jiang Nannan's right leg lashed out like a whip against the shield, using the force to flip and land smoothly.

The Soft-Boned Rabbit Martial Soul has been attached to my body.

"First Soul Skill, Waist Bow!"

Jiang Nannan moved again, this time not rushing forward in a straight line, but circling around Xu Sanshi's flank in a strange arc.

With the enhancement of her soul skill, her speed increased by another 30%, leaving only afterimages in the air.

Xu Sanshi shouted, and the Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield suddenly expanded, transforming into a giant shield that almost covered his entire body. "Second Soul Skill, Xuanming Shield Formation!"

The shield surface rippled with light like water waves, and several smaller tortoise shell phantoms surrounded the body, forming a 360-degree defense with no blind spots.

Jiang Nannan's fists rained down on the shield formation.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Each strike hit the energy nodes of the shield array precisely, and the pink soul power exploded into tiny specks of light at the point of impact.

Her fists, elbows, knees, and feet all became weapons, and her attacks were cunning and ruthless, specifically targeting the weakest points in the shield formation.

But Xu Sanshi's defenses were too solid.

"Nannan, you can't break my defense." Xu Sanshi's voice came from behind the shield, filled with complex emotions. "Stop, this kind of attrition won't do you any good."

"No."

Jiang Nannan's answer was just one word. She suddenly withdrew her fist and stepped back, her three spirit rings lighting up simultaneously—

"Third Soul Skill: Teleportation!"

With a flash of pink light, she disappeared directly from Xu Sanshi's front and reappeared three feet behind him the next moment!

No, not behind, but directly above the shield formation!

Xu Sanshi's pupils contracted sharply. How could this be? Teleportation distance is limited; how could she bypass the shield array and directly enter this position?

He suddenly remembered that Jiang Nannan's third soul skill, "Teleportation," although only five meters long, had a characteristic that very few people knew: it could use the force of the air to change direction twice.

Her retreat just now, seemingly a step backward, was actually a leap into the air followed by a swift dive.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Nannan swooped down like a hawk.

"Waist arch"

Her legs wrapped around Xu Sanshi's neck like serpents, and with a twist of her waist, she turned her entire body at an incredible angle—

"boom!"

Xu Sanshi, shield and all, was slammed to the ground! The shield formation collapsed instantly, dust flying everywhere.

All eyes were drawn to this over-the-shoulder throw. Several trainees who were sparring couldn't help but turn to look.

"Not bad for your technique..." Murasaki raised an eyebrow slightly in the stands.

"The Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul combines flexibility and explosive power to the extreme," Bi Ji commented softly, "but this child consumes too much soul power."

On the field, Xu Sanshi coughed as he got up; fine cracks had appeared on his tortoise-shell shield. He stared at Jiang Nannan, his eyes finally becoming serious.

"You're stronger than I thought." He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "But how many more times can you use an attack like that?"

Jiang Nannan steadied herself, panting, her forehead soaked with sweat.

Just as Xu Sanshi said, that combo attack just now consumed nearly 40% of her soul power.

While the Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul excels in explosive power, it is not known for its endurance.

"Enough to defeat you." She took a deep breath, and her pink soul power surged again, but the light was noticeably dimmer.

Xu Sanshi shook his head and raised the tortoise-shell shield: "Then let's try this move—the third soul skill, Xuanming Tremor!"

The shield slammed heavily onto the ground, and dark ripples spread out from him.

The ground undulated like waves, shattering the stone slabs wherever it passed.

This is a ranged control soul skill that combines shock and deceleration effects.

Jiang Nannan leaped backward quickly, but the ripples were too wide, and her left leg was still hit, causing her to go numb and slowing her movements by half a beat.

At that very moment, Xu Sanshi moved.

Defensive-type Soul Masters are usually not fast, but Xu Sanshi's charge was as swift as a tiger.

He held the shield in front of him, and his whole body rolled over like a chariot—simple, brutal, and effective.

Jiang Nannan gritted her teeth and pressed forward instead of retreating.

At the last moment, she sidestepped, narrowly avoiding the shield's direct impact. Her left hand, like a butterfly flitting among flowers, reached out, her five fingers forming a claw, and grabbed at Xu Sanshi's wrist holding the shield.

Xu Sanshi felt a numbness in his wrist, and the shield almost slipped from his hand.

He roared, unleashing his soul power to blast Jiang Nannan's hand away, and then slammed his right fist into her chest.

This punch was devoid of any fancy moves; it was pure power and soul force that overwhelmed the opponent.

Jiang Nannan caught it with her hands clasped together.

"Bang!"

She was sent flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood in mid-air. After landing, she staggered back seven or eight steps before barely managing to stand.

His arms trembled, his tiger's mouth split open, and blood dripped down his wrists.

"Give up, Nan Nan." Xu Sanshi didn't pursue, his voice low, "I don't want to hurt you too badly."

Jiang Nannan raised her head, the blood at the corner of her mouth still wet, but she still managed a smile.

That smile made Xu Sanshi's heart skip a beat.

"You know what," she said breathlessly, her voice soft yet clear, "everyone has said since we were little that agility-based attackers can't beat defense-based attackers, especially not a top-tier defensive martial soul like yours."

"That's what the teacher said, that's what my classmates said, and even I... almost believed it myself."

She slowly straightened up, and pink soul power surged from her body once again.

But this time, the color of the soul power deepened, gradually changing from pink to crimson, and then to a near-burning red.

"The third soul skill is not limited to the use of 'teleportation'."

Jiang Nannan's third purple spirit ring suddenly began to flash violently.

No, it's not flickering—it's burning!

Crimson flames ignited on the surface of her spirit ring, her long hair moved without wind, her eyes shone brightly with pink light, and her aura rose at an astonishing speed.

"She's burning the essence of her spirit rings!" Wang Yan suddenly stood up from the stands, his expression changing drastically. "Stop her! This will damage your foundation!"

Brigitte pressed him down and gently shook her head: "This is her choice."

On the field, Xu Sanshi's expression finally changed: "Are you crazy?!"

Burning the essence of a soul ring can grant power far exceeding one's current level for a short period, but at a heavy cost—at best, soul power will regress; at worst, the martial soul will be damaged, and the path of cultivation will be severed.

"Invincible Golden Body!"

Jiang Nannan did not answer; a pale gold layer enveloped her body. At the same time, the immense power brought by her burning spirit rings surged into her limbs and bones.
