Douluo Dalu 2: Unrivaled Tang Sect

Chapter 30.2. The Finals

An intense, white light suddenly exploded from his body, causing his arms to simultaneously expand as he charged forward. His chest stuck out, and bone-cracking sounds rang out from every corner of his body. His muscles suddenly swelled up, causing his clothes to be stretched taut. All of his muscles were now extremely prominent, and even the air surrounding him seemed to have turned wild.

His golden hair instantly turned black and white, with the white hair taking up a majority. However, the few strands of black hair on his head were especially obvious. Four faint lines appeared on his head, forming the King character. ()

Of the transformations that occurred to his body, his hands had been transformed the most. They doubled in size, and white fur covered the backs of his hands. Short, dagger-like claws began to unceasingly extend and retract from his ten fingers as he moved them, and each claweight inches in lengthwas just like the edge of a knife, and flickered with a cold, ghostly light.

Dai Huabin slowly crouched forward, and his four pupils became a deep, ghostly blue, making it seem as if he were a machine specifically designed for slaughter.

Three halos of light began to slowly rise above his feet; two of them were yellow, while the other was purple. As his soul rings revolved, his surging soul power formed a wave of pressure that exploded outwards.

Huo Yuhao couldnt help but purse his lips as he saw the White Tiger martial soul. If his martial soul hadnt undergone a variation, he wouldve possessed a martial soul that was just like Dai Huabins! If he also possessed the strong White Tiger martial soul, even the wife of the White Tiger Duke wouldnt be able to suppress him if she wanted to. Any child of the main bloodline who possessed the White Tiger would be an extremely important person who would be groomed by the clan. Furthermore, he was even the son of the White Tiger Duke, albeit a bastard child.

Various transformations had also occurred to the two girls beside Dai Huabin. The heterochromatic eyes of the black-haired girl on his leftZhu Lubecame even deeper in colour, and her ears pricked up. Furthermore, her charming figure became even more slender and powerful. Sharp claws appeared on all ten of her fingers, and even though they werent as sturdy as Dai Huabins, they gave off an illusory sense of swiftness. Although her current speed hadnt exceeded Dai Huabins, her body unexpectedly gave rise to a series of consecutive afterimages as it flickered.

The pink-haired girl, on the other hand, was even stranger. After releasing her martial soul, she seemed to have aged by three or four years, causing her originally twelve-year-old self to turn into a young lady that was filled with youthfulness. Her pink hair grew even longer, and even formed large curls at the bottom, making it look like a pink waterfall that rose into the air. Her eyes became clear and gem-like, causing her whole body to be filled with the vigor of youth. Her ears had become pointed as well, even more so than Zhu Lus. Furthermore, one couldnt help but stare blankly at her perfect features. Most importantly, two long tails had appeared from her back. Each tail was around one meter long, and their thick, pink fur was illuminated by the rays of the afternoon sun, making it so that one couldnt help but want to rub them.

Cui Yajies pink eyes immediately found Huo Yuhaos, and she smiled charmingly at him. Her first soul ring quietly lit up, but the light coming from it wasnt very obvious. If one wasnt paying careful attention to it, it would be overlooked.

Huo Yuhaos pale gold eyes flashed, but he remained unmoving.

Cui Yajies body shook, and her peerless face turned slightly pale. Her martial soulthe Ninetails Foxwas a relatively high-levelled existence among Beast Souls, and it had a few unique characteristics. It would grow a single tail for every extra soul ring she obtained, and her strength would increase accordingly. Her first soul skill was called Charm, and shed used it on Huo Yuhao, albeit to no effect.

The Ninetails Fox was part spiritual-type and part assault-type, and shed chosen the same path for her cultivation. However, Huo Yuhaos Spirit Eyes were a martial soul that focused completely on the spiritual-type. Due to that, it would be hard for Cui Yajies Charm, which was a spiritual-type skill, to affect him.

After this brief period of time passed, both teams were now within fifty meters of each other. Thus, the speed-reducing effect of Xiao Xiaos Ninephoenix Worshipping Flute started to show itself, causing the speed of Dai Huabins trio to decrease clearly. However, Zhu Lu was affected most by it; the number of afterimages shed created decreased by two, and she didnt seem so illusory anymore.

As the distance between them shrank, Dai Huabins team entered the range of Huo Yuhaos Spiritual Detection, causing their every move to appear as a three-dimensional image in the minds of Huo Yuhaos team.

Dai Huabins team made the first move. Zhu Lus body flashed, causing her speed to suddenly increase. This created a series of consecutive afterimages that appeared behind her as she pounced towards Huo Yuhao. Although she was affected by the speed-reducing effect of the Ninephoenix Worshipping Flute, her speed was still as shocking as ever.

Huo Yuhaos trio were all inwardly astonished. Before their match started, theyd heard that Zhu Lus martial soul was the Netherworld Civet, and that she was an Agility System Battle Soul Master. However, she was undoubtedly the quickest Agility System Soul Master theyd ever met. Were it not for the Ninephoenix Worshipping Flutes speed-reducing effect, it wouldve been hard to even catch her shadow.

The instant Zhu Lu made her move, Dai Huabin started to go on the offensive. He roared, and in a flash, an intense white light gathered around his head as his second soul ring lit up. Right after that, a ball of white light shot towards Wang Dong. Clearly, he didnt want to give Wang Dong any chance to save Huo Yuhao.

Cui Yajie was originally using her Charm on Huo Yuhao, but she suddenly shifted the target of her skill to Xiao Xiao.

The three of them coordinated extremely well. They each targeted a member of Huo Yuhaos team that they had an advantage against. Cui Yajie wanted to disrupt Xiao Xiaos Ninephoenix Worshipping Flute, giving Zhu Lu the chance to attack Huo Yuhao. Zhu Lu wanted to rely on her speed to take care of the enemy commander. On the other hand, Dai Huabin clashed against Wang Dongs strength with his own strength.

Were it not for Huo Yuhaos Spiritual Detection, their team wouldve immediately suffered a loss. After all, there was a distinct gap between the two teams cultivations. However, the foundational gap between their predictive skills changed the entire situation.

The moment Cui Yajie changed the target of her skill, Huo Yuhao made his move. However, he chose not to work together with Wang Dong. They were currently in a 3v3 match, and if he and Wang Dong joined forces against a single opponent, the remaining person would definitely cause a huge inconvenience to them.

Huo Yuhao released his Spiritual Shock. Target: Cui Yajie.

The timing of Huo Yuhaos attack was simply too ingenious. The Skydream Iceworm had warned him of the backlash that could occur as a result of his Spiritual Shock, but Huo Yuhao had the help of his Spiritual Detection. Why would he launch an attack on an opponent who was guarding against his attacks? The instant he chose to activate his Spiritual Shock was the exact instant when Cui Yajie changed who she was targetingthe instant she used her Charm on Xiao Xiao.

Cui Yajies Charm and Huo Yuhaos Spiritual Shock were both spiritual-type skills, but the difference between the two skills was shown now. Cui Yajie needed visual contact for her Charm to be activated, but Huo Yuhao didnt need anything of the sort. Furthermore, his Spiritual Shock had no activation signals.

Cui Yajie let out a muffled groan. An intense, stabbing pain suddenly filled her brain, causing her to stagger forward and nearly fall. However, her spiritual power was much greater than an ordinary Soul Grandmasters, and Huo Yuhaos cultivation rank was below hers. Without the assistance of the Haodong Power, Huo Yuhaos Spiritual Shock wasnt able to pose an enormous threat to her. However, it was still able to stop her from interrupting Xiao Xiao.
