Chapter 185: Zhu Zhuqing: How About the Two Teachers Team Up and Fight Together?
The next day, at the Douluo Hall training grounds.
"Ouch~ I'm done, I'm done!"
"I'm old, truly old. I can't beat you anymore!"
Mighty Lion Douluo retreated repeatedly, taking the initiative to withdraw all his soul power.
The reddish-gold mane covering his body rapidly faded as his martial soul possession was instantly released.
"How exactly did you improve your strength? You're this fierce now!"
His chest rose and fell violently, his breathing in disarray as he looked down at his slightly numb arms.
"Come on, Teacher, let's continue!"
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes blazed with battle intent, her tone carrying a hint of dissatisfaction.
"I haven't even gone all out yet. You can't surrender already!"
"Xiao Qing, spare these old bones of mine!"
Mighty Lion Douluo smiled bitterly and waved his hands repeatedly.
"You were already extraordinarily powerful, and after two years of training outside, you've undergone a complete transformation. I simply can't keep up with your combat rhythm."
"I cultivated bitterly for two years and finally broke through to rank 98."
"But once you activate your Death God Domain and use the Eight Spider Lances, I have no ability to resist."
Mighty Lion Douluo's helplessness was genuine.
Once Zhu Zhuqing's Death God Domain spread out, blood-red killing intent enveloped the surroundings.
Combined with the mutated White Tiger Asura Transformation, its locking ability was practically impossible to evade.
Then, once the girl used her Eight Spider Lances, even without activating clones, ten nearly unavoidable attacks would strike from different directions.
How was he supposed to defend against that?
If she activated clones, it would be even more outrageous!
The slightest mistake on his part, and Zhu Zhuqing could turn him into a lion full of holes.
Of course, that was under normal sparring conditions.
As for fighting desperately?
He was a Rank 98 Super Douluo. Fighting a Rank 78 Soul Saint with his life on the line during a sparring match would make him a laughingstock.
No way. Absolutely not.
"How about I stop using the Eight Spider Lances?"
Zhu Zhuqing raised an eyebrow, her tone teasing.
"No, no, no! This old man absolutely needs a rest!"
Mighty Lion Douluo hurriedly wiped away sweat.
"Fighting you requires me to remain tense the entire time. I don't dare relax for even a moment. It's mentally exhausting. These old bones can't take it."
"Hahaha..."
At that moment, Golden Crocodile Douluo arrived at the entrance of the training grounds and overheard the entire conversation.
Laughing heartily, he strode over.
"Xiongshi, it's not that I want to criticize you, but if you're weak, train more and stop making excuses!"
"It was one thing for you to fail miserably and lose to Xiao Qing at rank 97."
"Now that you've broken through to rank 98, how are you still not her opponent?"
"Second Brother, you're talking without understanding the situation!"
Mighty Lion Douluo instantly became anxious and immediately retorted.
"The current Xiao Qing is no longer the same as before!"
"She possesses the inheritance of the Asura God. Her foundation is unfathomable. Even if you personally stepped onto the field, you might not gain the slightest advantage!"
"Ridiculous!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo widened his eyes, pride overflowing as he patted his chest confidently.
"I've already begun condensing my second soul core and am preparing to break through to become a rank 99!"
"And you're telling me I can't defeat a Soul Saint? Have you grown more foolish with age?"
"Second Brother, stop bragging!"
Mighty Lion Douluo immediately retorted.
"If you underestimate her, you probably won't even last half as long as I did."
"When you get completely suppressed, I'd like to see where you put your face!"
Neither side would yield, and an argument instantly broke out, causing the atmosphere of the training grounds to become tense.
"Teachers, please stop arguing!"
Zhu Zhuqing suddenly spoke.
"May I say something first?"
"Xiao Qing, then tell us. Between us, who is stronger?"
Golden Crocodile Douluo turned toward her with an arrogant expression.
"That question is simple."
The corners of Zhu Zhuqing's lips curled upward as a crafty glint flashed through her eyes.
"Since neither teacher is convinced... how about the two of you team up and fight me together?"
Boom!
The words exploded like thunder.
Golden Crocodile Douluo froze on the spot, the pride on his face instantly solidifying.
Mighty Lion Douluo was equally dumbfounded, staring at Zhu Zhuqing in disbelief.
"W-What did you say?!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo's tone changed dramatically, his face filled with fury.
"You want to challenge two rank 98 Super Douluo by yourself?"
"You're far too arrogant!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo felt that in all his years of life, he had never seen anyone this outrageous.
A Soul Saint challenging two rank 98 Super Douluo simultaneously?
No one would believe it even if it were told to them.
"Xiao Qing, it's not that I want to criticize you!"
Mighty Lion Douluo hurriedly tried to dissuade her.
"A single level among Titled Douluo can crush a person. You're only at rank 78. Beating me is one thing, but fighting two of us at the same time?"
If word spread, soul masters across the entire continent would probably regard her as a lunatic who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth.
"I merely want to use this battle to test my gains and my new abilities."
Zhu Zhuqing remained calm. She cupped her hands slightly, her gaze unwavering.
"I ask the two teachers to grant me this opportunity."
"Good! Very good!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo readily accepted.
"Since you insist on trying, this old man will personally experience your strength!"
"Today, I'll teach you that old ginger is spicier!"
Seeing this, Mighty Lion Douluo stopped trying to persuade her.
Battle intent ignited within his eyes as he slowly nodded.
"Then after I rest for a bit, we'll fight another round!"
"The training grounds are too small. We can't fight freely here."
Zhu Zhuqing smiled slightly and suggested,
"How about we change locations?"
"Where do you want to go? Lead the way."
Golden Crocodile Douluo said casually.
"Alright."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded.
After Mighty Lion Douluo had rested, soul power erupted from her body and transformed into a black-red streak of light that shot out of Spirit City.
Golden Crocodile Douluo and Mighty Lion Douluo followed closely behind, walking through the sky.
Before long, the group arrived at the outskirts of Death Canyon.
The area was filled with jagged rocks. The wilderness was deserted, with fierce winds howling through the barren land.
Even if they fought with full power, there was no need to worry about collateral damage.
"This will do."
Zhu Zhuqing landed heavily, sending dust billowing into the air.
"Martial Soul Possession!"
She bent slightly forward as her gaze instantly became sharp and chilling.
"White Tiger Killing God Transformation!"
"White Tiger Asura Transformation!"
Red and white light flickered as she completed her enhancement in her white tiger girl form.
Her figure became even taller and more graceful, while killing intent radiated from her body in a terrifying manner.
The black light flashed, and she returned to her Hell Spirit Cat girl form.
Beneath her feet floated seven soul rings.
Four black and three red.
Dazzling and terrifying.
"Nether Earth!"
One of her soul rings lit up. Stomping lightly, she turned the entire wilderness black.
Facing two rank 98 Super Douluo, she showed not the slightest fear. Her battle intent surged like a raging tide.
"Her soul rings really changed!"
Seeing it for the first time, Golden Crocodile Douluo looked somewhat astonished.
"Second Brother, go all out. Xiao Qing is stronger than you can imagine!"
Having already experienced Zhu Zhuqing's strength, Mighty Lion Douluo reminded him.
"When I fight, I never underestimate my opponents!"
"I absolutely won't capsize in a gutter!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo shot back pointedly before immediately activating his martial soul.
"Golden Crocodile Possession!"
Scales covered his body as a heavy and tyrannical pressure spread outward.
"Flame Lion Possession!"
Mighty Lion Douluo followed immediately, summoning his martial soul.
His mane flowed wildly, lion-like might surged outward, and flames flickered around him.
The moment their martial souls possessed them, they activated enhancement-type soul skills.
Their strength rose to its peak. The terrifying pressure of two rank 98 Super Douluo swept across the area, pressing down so heavily that even the ground beneath them began to sink slightly.
