Chapter 132: The Power of a 100,000-Year Soul Skill and Soul Bone: Controlling Chrysanthemum Douluo for Five Seconds
"What about the other abilities? What about the other abilities?"
Ning Rongrong asked, her eyes sparkling with little stars.
At first glance, this ability didn't seem very strong, but one had to remember that Titans were known as the gods of the earth.
And the Titan Giant Ape possessed a Titan bloodline. Controlling the earth was one of its most crucial abilities.
On a battlefield, with just this one ability, it could easily bury enemy forces within a thousand meters alive.
"Senior, would you be willing to help me test my moves?"
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Yue Guan in the distance and invited him.
"Of course!"
Yue Guan stepped forward with his graceful and somewhat coquettish gait.
"Then… here I come!"
Zhu Zhuqing slowly raised her hand and clenched it in the air:
"Nether Titan's Grasp!"
As soon as her voice fell, her soul ring lit up.
A giant hand formed from hell power instantly condensed from the ink-stained earth and grabbed toward Yue Guan!
"Self-Adoring Solitude! Ten Thousand Flowers Bloom! Golden Stamens Flowing Rosy Clouds!
Yue Guan's second and sixth soul rings lit up simultaneously.
Golden light burst from his body, and the Chrysanthemum martial soul in his hand bloomed.
Countless golden petals poured down like a meteor shower, spinning and shredding as they attacked the giant hand.
The two forces collided, yet it did not hinder the closing of the giant hand in the slightest.
The petals shattered and withered upon impact, and Yue Guan was instantly seized tightly by the hand.
"Close!"
The girl said nothing more, simply increasing her strength.
The giant hand's power surged, attempting to crush Yue Guan like cracking a walnut!
"What terrifying strength!"
Yue Guan relied on the indestructible body granted by his martial soul to resist, his face flushed red.
Only after a fierce struggle did he finally break free by destroying the giant hand with brute force.
"Your Highness, this soul skill is extremely powerful!"
Yue Guan suppressed his shock and analyzed:
"It is both a strong attack soul skill and a powerful control soul skill."
"Once the target is caught, their body will be completely restrained."
"Unless they unleash even greater strength to break it, skills like teleportation, ghostification, or shadow escape… none of them can free them."
As he spoke, he glanced meaningfully at Ghost Douluo.
As if saying, If you get caught, half your life is gone.
The latter rolled his eyes inwardly. Of course, if even a top agility-attack system Super Douluo like him got caught, it would be over.
"Senior is right. Once caught by this soul skill, unless greater strength is unleashed, it is absolutely impossible to escape!"
Zhu Zhuqing's lips curled slightly.
She was extremely satisfied with this soul skill.
Its release speed was not slow. As long as she found an opportunity to control the opponent, then used teleportation to follow up with a strike from the Eight Spider Lances—
If their poison resistance wasn't enough, they could only wait for death!
"Unfortunately, although your strength is great, this soul skill is limited by your level."
Yue Guan thought for a moment and reminded her:
"If Your Highness were at Rank 70 and could use Martial Soul True Body, I might have to go all out to escape in the shortest time."
"No! Absolutely impossible!"
Zhu Zhuqing shook her head slightly, her tone firm:
"Even now, I can control Senior for several seconds!"
Setting aside her Spider God Possession, just her newly obtained two soul bone skills were enough to prevent Yue Guan from breaking free quickly!
After the fusion of the dark gold left hand and the Titan Giant Ape left arm bone, although [Gravity Force Pressure] was gone, her strength had instead increased!
"I don't believe it unless you show me!"
Yue Guan raised an eyebrow.
He was a power-attack system Super Douluo. How could he fail to instantly break free from a mere Soul Emperor's control at full strength?
"Senior, here it comes!"
Zhu Zhuqing activated the Dark Gold Titan Left Hand, instantly doubling all her strength!
She raised both hands as her soul ring and soul bone lit up simultaneously.
"Hell Titan's Grasp!"
Two familiar giant hands grabbed toward Yue Guan at the same time.
Yue Guan did not resist, only secretly accumulating power.
"Martial Soul True Body!"
"Chrysanthemum Ruins, Fill The Earth With Wounds, Flowers Fall on Broken Hearts!"
The moment the control formed, Yue Guan unleashed his full power. Martial Soul True Body, combined with his ninth soul skill, erupted simultaneously!
In an instant, the Chrysanthemum Martial Soul exploded into countless petals.
The petals then transformed into a massive, destructive tornado, launching a fierce assault on the giant hands restraining him.
However, the girl acted at the same time!
"Nether Earth!"
The ground suddenly changed, attaching to the giant hands and reinforcing them once more.
"Gravity swamp!"
A terrifying gravity pressed down on Chrysanthemum Douluo, trapping him in a quagmire while forming a gravitational barrier.
With just these two moves, the chrysanthemum tornado's offensive power was immediately reduced by half.
One second passed in the blink of an eye!
As the Hell Titan's Grasp began to show signs of collapsing, the girl finally activated her last soul bone skill—
"Titan Power!"
A flash of red light erupted as her aura surged dramatically, releasing a pressure like a primordial beast.
At that moment, she gained the legendary power of the Titan, the god of Earth!
"Ah—"
The moment the power erupted, even Yue Guan, who had been prepared, let out a cry of pain!
"Break for me!"
He struggled fiercely and finally broke free after four seconds!
"Cough… such overwhelming strength…"
Yue Guan coughed uncomfortably.
Even if beaten to death, he would never have imagined that Zhu Zhuqing could unleash such terrifying power!
"Senior, how was it?"
The girl asked with a confident smile.
Chrysanthemum Douluo forced a bitter smile. "Your move is truly filled with effort and sweat."
Whose effort and sweat?
His!
"I also think this move is full of skill!"
The girl's smile grew even brighter.
Her soul bones were like this—either no special mechanics or insufficient base stats.
Just like her, straightforward to the extreme.
As for the Titan Giant Ape's soul skills not being suitable for an Agility-Attack System Soul Master?
Sorry, what is an Agility-Attack System?
Never heard of it!
If you can play a power-attack system soul master, why bother with fancy agility tactics, only to be instantly killed once a flaw is caught?
"Exactly! The Power-Attack System is the strongest!"
Bai Lu chimed in from the spiritual sea.
Looking across the entire Douluo Dalu series, the most useless type was the Agility-Attack System!
Therefore, in the development path he planned for the girl, none of her future soul skills would be considered agility-type or the Hell Spirit Cat type.
After all, just one Phantom Flash skill was already enough to place her at the pinnacle of agility!
Adding more speed would be pure waste!
When mechanics were sufficient, raw stats were king!
The only pity was that, perhaps because of heavy consumption from transforming the spirit soul, the girl's level only increased by four, barely reaching rank 64!
"It's fine; I'm already very satisfied!"
Zhu Zhuqing smiled faintly inwardly.
Compared to gaining a hundred-thousand-year level undead spirit, losing one or two ranks meant nothing.
At most, in three to five months, she would level up again.
"Don't worry. The first experiment consumes more."
Bai Lu said with a smile:
"Once I optimize it further, with the help of the Slaughter Skull Bone, the consumption can be reduced."
"Amazing! You're the most hardworking!"
Thinking this, Zhu Zhuqing said aloud:
"I was able to successfully hunt the Titan Giant Ape thanks to the great assistance of the two seniors."
"No need to say more. Even without us, Your Highness could have hunted it yourself."
Yue Guan shook his head slightly, a hint of frustration appearing on his face.
What did it mean to be hard-controlled for five seconds in a battle?
It was enough for him to die at Zhu Zhuqing's hands five times!
Five times!
