Chapter 5
The strongest offense is often quite straightforward.
A generation of Titled Douluo has perished!
"Too weak!"
Releasing the body, Shen Tianyu shook his head.
Rumble~
At that moment, a rumbling noise was heard outside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
His eyebrows lifted slightly, a glimmer of light in his eyes.
Three Thousand Great Daos—Great Perspective Technique!
His eyes shone with a sharp light, cutting through the forests and cliffs.
He spotted two men and one woman recklessly entering the poison array outside Dugu Bo's cave.
The leading man had short black hair, with very faint soul power fluctuations.
In front of him, a pet resembling a dog but shaped like a pig was sniffing around.
The man on the left had slightly curly long hair, wore glasses, and had wings on his back.
The woman on the right was tall and fiery, with her body engulfed in intense flames.
"Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong, Flender!"
Quite coincidentally, they arrived neither too early nor too late.
Shen Tianyu was well aware of these three.
The Golden Iron Triangle!
An unprincipled teacher, a cunning merchant; Ma Hongjun was taken by Flender to that kind of place of entertainment at a
young age; such a person is unfit to be a teacher.
As for Liu Erlong, she is undoubtedly a love-struck individual.
As soon as Yu Xiaogang appeared, he immediately sent the Lanba Academy away.
This type of woman is too naive; isn't concentrating on a career more beneficial?
Regarding Yu Xiaogang, he is known as theoretically unbeatable, referred to as the Master.
But he is merely a worthless hypocrite!
What Martial Soul Ten Core Competencies theory is just trivial common knowledge spouted nonsense.
Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong, these two women, have suffered quite a bit because of that useless Yu Xiaogang.
A scoundrel who toys with emotions!
"Hmph! Since they have arrived, I can test their Martial Soul Fusion technique."
Although Dugu Bo is a Titled Douluo, he primarily focuses on poisons; there's no thrill in direct confrontations.
On the other hand, the Golden Iron Triangle's Martial Soul Fusion technique can ignite a bit of Shen Tianyu's fighting spirit.
Soaring through the air, he departed from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Inside the poison array, the three were rushing, constantly channeling their soul power to combat the toxins.
"Xiaogang, slow down a little; with your soul power, it's difficult to withstand these toxins."
Liu Erlong, filled with concern, caught up to Yu Xiaogang's speed.
"Xiao San is in grave danger; how can you expect me to slow down?"
Liu Erlong's eyes sparked with bitterness; after waiting for two decades, she found herself surpassed by someone else's disciple.
Flender, observing her expression, sighed and shook his head in defeat.
Then, a powerful wave of energy surged through the atmosphere.
"Be careful!"
Quickly extending his wings, he placed himself at the forefront. "Is that Dugu Bo?"
"No!"
Flender's face twisted in confusion as a young man approached slowly. The source of the apprehension was this seemingly youthful figure, who showed no signs of soul power.
"Golden Iron Triangle, I've been expecting you. You're here for Tang San, aren't you?"
"What have you done to Xiao San?"
Yu Xiaogang stepped forward, cautiously attempting to assess Shen Tianyu's soul power.
Upon concluding that he was just an ordinary individual, his stance relaxed a notch.
"Make Dugu Bo return Xiao San."
"Do you think you can issue commands to me?"
With a mere flick of his hand, Yu Xiaogang found himself lifted from the ground.
"You pathetic low-life, how dare you speak to me like that!"
Bang!
In a violent motion, Yu Xiaogang was hurled into the mud, getting a mouthful of dirt.
"You're asking for trouble!"
Liu Erlong's anger flared as she summoned her martial soul.
First soul skill - Violent Dragon Possession!
Dragon scales wrapped around her body, forming solid armor.
Her attack power, defense, and speed surged dramatically.
Second soul skill - Dragon Arm!
The dragon scales on her right arm morphed into formidable dragon armor.
With sharp claws, she lunged at Shen Tianyu.
Both of Liu Erlong's initial abilities were enhancements.
The combat strength she showcased now could intimidate even a ten-thousand-year soul beast.
As the dragon claw aimed for his face, Shen Tianyu stood completely still.
Bang!
With a release of soul power, the dragon claw collided with his head.
The five fingers closed around him, the dragon's talons shining dangerously, seemingly poised to take Shen Tianyu's life.
"Lady, you're playing a risky game!"
With a quick palm strike, he pushed against Liu Erlong's chest plate.
Boom!
The immense force shattered the armor, pressing directly into her heart.
For a brief moment, Liu Erlong felt as if her heartbeat had ceased.
Crack~
The armor shattered into fragments.
Yu Xiaogang watched in disbelief, unable to comprehend how an ordinary person could fend off Liu Erlong, a Soul Saint.
"Yu Xiaogang, you're completely useless!
You tolerate humiliation and let a woman fight your battles.
What purpose does someone like you serve in this world?"
"What did you just say!!!"
Fuming, Yu Xiaogang could contain himself no longer. Ever since his martial soul had awakened and changed,
He had been branded a failure by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan. For decades, that stigma had haunted him.
Every mention of it reignited his simmering anger.
"What? Am I wrong?"
"I'll kill you!"
"Get lost!" With a roar, a wave of sound exploded outward.
Yu Xiaogang was thrown back, crashing into a large tree.
"Xiao Gang!" Liu Erlong shouted in alarm, flames igniting around her.
"You dare hurt Xiao Gang? You'll pay for this!"
Seventh soul skill - True Fire Dragon Body!
Assuming her role as the avenging member of the Golden Iron Triangle, Liu Erlong was well-known for her fierce attacks.
Transforming into a red fire dragon after unleashing her martial soul's true form,
She emitted subtle blue electric arcs dancing along her body. "Angry Thunder!"
With a powerful raise of her claw, a fireball formed, electric arcs swirling within it.
With a furious swing, the thunderous fireball was launched away instantly.
Boom!
Explosive flames erupted, accompanied by crackling electricity.
"You'll never match that old fool Dugu Bo!"
Bursting from the flames, he struck the fire dragon's belly, sending it flying back dozens of meters.
"Bloodthirsty Flames!"
As she opened her dragon mouth, flames began to collect.
Like crashing waves, they surged wildly, a stunning stream of dragon fire aimed directly at Shen Tianyu.
Rumble~
The dragon flames ignited, turning the nearby trees to ash.
Flender helped Yu Xiaogang to his feet as they both turned to observe the ongoing battle.
They watched as Shen Tianyu boldly advanced into the dragon flames.
Without a moment's hesitation, he closed the distance to Liu Erlong.
He unleashed a punch, striking the fire dragon's mouth.
Liu Erlong was thrown off balance; her soul skill interrupted.
"Is he unharmed?"
Flender was taken aback. Liu Erlong's fourth soul skill was exceptionally potent and ignited flames.
Theoretically, even if Shen Tianyu stood his ground, he should have been burnt.
Yet, remarkably, despite enduring the dragon flames, Shen Tianyu emerged without a single scorch mark on his clothing.
"What in the world! I'm furious!"
The black soul ring flared, activating his sixth soul skill.
Explosive Fire Dragon Rush!
Flames engulfed his feet, significantly boosting his speed.
Liu Erlong soared high, her form racing around rapidly.
"You enjoy throwing punches? This old lady will match you blow for blow!"
Dragon flame fists fell like rain, synchronized with her increased speed.
In an instant, countless fist shadows converged on Shen Tianyu from all directions.
"Your punches are far too weak!"
He focused his spirit power into his fist, propelling it through the air.
Bang!
His punch landed squarely on the fire dragon's face.
The timing and speed were perfect.
Liu Erlong was convinced that the Explosive Fire Dragon Rush had elevated her speed to a point where Shen Tianyu couldn't defend.
But to her shock, with a single blow, he countered and struck her directly.
"Are you two big guys done watching the show?"
"Erlong, come back!"
Flender, supporting Yu Xiaogang, shouted in a commanding voice.
"Boss Flender, he hurt Xiaogang!"
"I know, but don't forget the main reason for our visit!"
Flender remained relatively composed, recognizing Shen Tianyu's extraordinary abilities.
If they continued to engage like this, they would definitely come to harm.
Retracting her Martial Soul True Body, Liu Erlong returned to Yu Xiaogang's side, anxiously checking his injuries, her expression filled with worry.
"This senior, we mean no offense. We came only to seek out the Poison Douluo and my student Tang San. I wonder if you have seen my student or know about the Poison Douluo?"
After a brief exchange, Flender could confirm,
The young man before them was not an ordinary individual.
Powerful soul masters are rarely assessed by their appearances.
Especially at the Title Douluo level, they may have the potential to rejuvenate.
"You do know how to talk, much better than those two dimwits."
Nonetheless, Shen Tianyu still looked down on Flender.
"Dugu Bo is dead; I killed him myself!"
The three of them trembled, glancing at each other.
To kill a Title Douluo suggests that the individual in front of them is also a Title Douluo.
Moreover, he must be even more powerful than Dugu Bo.
However, there are few Title Douluos on the continent, and they racked their brains but couldn't recall a name like Shen Tianyu.
Emotionless, Shen Tianyu surveyed the three of them, a sly smile creeping onto his face.
As for Tang San, do you want to know about his whereabouts?
"Tell me about his situation."
Upon hearing Tang San's name, Yu Xiaogang shifted his demeanor.
"No matter who you are, no matter how strong you are on this continent, Tang San is someone you cannot afford to provoke. Do you know who his father is?"
"Tang Hao!"
Shen Tianyu responded instinctively, there was no need to ponder such a simplistic question.
"So you are aware!"
A flicker of hope glimmered in Yu Xiaogang's eyes. Since the other party recognized that Xiao San was Tang Hao's son, he would undoubtedly think twice before acting recklessly.
"However, I have already killed Tang San!"
