Chapter 219 - Chapter 219 Xiao Wu vs Emperor Auspicious Beast 

On the stage, the highly anticipated third individual match was about to begin.Xiao Wu and Emperor Auspicious Beast stood facing each other from a distance, briefly exchanging glances in mid-air.As the high-pitched announcement from the Great Spirit Arena host fell, spirit power surged within both of them, and they simultaneously began to release their respective Spirits."Roar!"A majestic beast roar erupted on the stage with a thunderous boom!The moment the phantom of Emperor Auspicious Beast's Three-Eyed Golden Ni Spirit appeared behind her, an indescribable force of ultimate fire and ultimate light swept through the arena like a tsunami!This pure, peak double ultimate attribute pressure caused all Spirit Masters among the tens of thousands of spectators who possessed Spirits with similar attributes to instantly feel an intense sense of oppression!That feeling was like a commoner encountering a high and mighty emperor; their Souls trembled uncontrollably.Even Qian Renxue, sitting in the VIP seats, was no exception as her expression shifted.One must know that her Seraphim Spirit also possessed ultimate attributes.Therefore, in the collision of these two similar forces, Qian Renxue could clearly perceive the formidable and overbearing nature of the other's attributes.On the main stand.Even though Emperor Xue Ye was still quite a distance from Emperor Auspicious Beast at the center of the stage, he still clearly felt that heart-palpitating pressure.His brow furrowed as he stared fixedly at the golden phantom and asked in a low voice, "What kind of Spirit is this?""Such powerful light force, and it even perfectly fuses such pure fire force within it!"The Legacy Spirit of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family was the Swan Martial Soul, which itself possessed the light attribute.But now, facing Emperor Auspicious Beast's Three-Eyed Golden Ni, Emperor Xue Ye could clearly feel his Swan Martial Soul being ruthlessly suppressed.Ning Fengzhi, sitting beside him, also shook his head with a solemn face and sighed, "Your Majesty, this is the first time in my life I have seen or heard of such a peculiar Spirit. It is truly unfathomable."In the Heaven Dou Team's preparation area.Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly snapped them open.Feeling the terrifying pressure released by the Auspicious Beast Spirit on the stage, he couldn't help but gasp, uttering a sincere exclamation: "What an overbearing Bloodline!"Meanwhile, on the stage.Facing Emperor Auspicious Beast's full Aura, although Xiao Wu was inwardly amazed by the shocking strength her opponent displayed, she also had absolute confidence in herself; she was not weak at all.The battle was triggered instantly. Xiao Wu started by launching an attack directly, her eyes flashing with pink light as she unhesitatingly used her second Spirit Ability, Charm!A strange ripple of mental force instantly struck Emperor Auspicious Beast in front of her.However, at the moment the Charm Spirit Ability hit, the scene Xiao Wu expected—of her opponent falling into a dazed state of control—did not occur.In Emperor Auspicious Beast's clear eyes, there was only a momentary, almost imperceptible flicker of distraction.Immediately after, without even using a Spirit Ability, she relied solely on her own peerless mental force foundation to instantly dissolve Xiao Wu's Charm control!Seeing this, Xiao Wu inwardly thought, "As expected of the Auspicious Beast in charge of the Star Luo Luck, this mental force is indeed ridiculously strong!"One must know that her current mental force was much higher than her Rank 59 spirit power!Even a Rank 70+ Spirit Saint, if hit by her full-strength Charm while off guard, would be firmly controlled for several seconds.But now, this certain-hit strike was dissolved so effortlessly by Emperor Auspicious Beast, which sufficiently showed the vastness and stability of her mental force.The tactic Xiao Wu had originally planned in her mind was to first use Charm to unexpectedly control the opponent.Then she would take the opportunity to use Teleportation to close the distance and use the powerful Wind God Leg to deliver a fatal blow.Now it seemed that this tactical plan had completely fallen through."Since mental control won't work, I'll just have to go at it directly!"Xiao Wu gritted her teeth and decided to use Teleportation directly, flashing in front of Emperor Auspicious Beast to engage in the close-quarters combat she excelled at.However, seeing the spirit power light glowing on Xiao Wu, a mysterious, cunning smile curled at the corner of Emperor Auspicious Beast's mouth.Emperor Auspicious Beast's third deep purple spirit ring rose and lit up silently.In the next second, the strange golden mark on her forehead suddenly split open, and a vertical eye radiating mysterious light abruptly opened!This was her third Spirit Ability—Eye of Destiny!The effect was: The third eye briefly opens, instantly locking onto an enemy, causing their Luck to plummet in a short time. They become plagued by misfortune, their attacks easily miss for no reason, and their skills are highly prone to serious errors!Sure enough, the moment the Eye of Destiny locked on, Xiao Wu's figure flashed, originally intending to precisely teleport to the left side of Emperor Auspicious Beast's body.But at the moment of spatial traversal, this originally foolproof Teleportation suffered a bizarre and massive spatial deviation error!With a "swish," Xiao Wu's figure tumbled out of mid-air. She found that she had not appeared beside Emperor Auspicious Beast, but had almost teleported directly off the edge of the stage!When she appeared, half of her foot was already hanging over the boundary line of the stage. If she had deviated even one more inch, she would have been disqualified for going out of bounds.Fortunately, Xiao Wu's combat reaction speed was very fast. At the critical moment when her body was about to lose balance and fall, she exerted force from her waist and took a perilous leap backward, finally returning to the safe area of the stage.Xiao Wu was drenched in sweat. She patted her rapidly heaving chest with relief and panted, "Whoa! That really scared me to death!"Then, Xiao Wu looked up at Emperor Auspicious Beast with deep curiosity and wariness, asking, "Is this the special effect of your third Spirit Ability from just now? It can actually interfere with spatial coordinates. What a bizarre ability!"At this time, in the spectator stands, seeing this thrilling scene, Oscar scratched his head in confusion and turned to Grandmaster to ask:"Grandmaster, I don't quite understand that third Spirit Ability of Blazing Academy's Emperor Auspicious Beast. Xiao Wu is a Spirit King; how could she make such a huge low-level mistake while using Teleportation?"Yu Xiaogang was actually also completely bewildered and didn't understand the mystery at all.But to maintain his image, he could only fake a cough and analyze through gritted teeth, "Ahem, according to my observations, this should be a very rare mental interference skill.""She likely used vast mental force to instantly interfere with the opponent's locking precision while performing a spatial Spirit Ability, which is why the Teleportation deviated."On the stage.Facing Xiao Wu's question, Emperor Auspicious Beast only smiled playfully and did not answer directly: "Do you want to know? I'll tell you after this match is completely over."Before her voice had even faded, Emperor Auspicious Beast gave Xiao Wu no more chance to breathe. The first purple spirit ring on her body instantly shone!First Spirit Skill, Golden Lion Claw!Five golden claws, each over a foot long, instantly condensed at Emperor Auspicious Beast's fingertips.These claws were also accompanied by sizzling high-temperature flames. They were not only incomparably sharp but also possessed the terrifying characteristic of being able to easily tear through the opponent's spirit power defense.Emperor Auspicious Beast pushed off with her toes, her figure like a bolt of golden lightning. Her speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, she closed in on Xiao Wu, swinging a claw fiercely!Facing the oncoming scorching wind, with the lesson from that heart-stopping error just now, Xiao Wu didn't dare use Teleportation to dodge at will anymore.After all, no one knew how long the Luck-reducing effect of Emperor Auspicious Beast's bizarre third Spirit Ability lasted.If the next Teleportation failed again and sent her directly out of the arena, she would really have nowhere to cry. Losing the match like that would be too frustrating.Seeing the claws approaching, Xiao Wu's eyes narrowed, and the fifth black ten-thousand-year spirit ring on her body finally rose thunderously at this moment.The fifth Spirit Ability was activated. Countless silver spatial blade-threads, difficult to see with the naked eye, instantly entwined around Xiao Wu's long legs.According to Lin Yuan's intention, the fifth Spirit Ability Xiao Wu obtained now did not follow her mother's cultivation path to condense the Soft Bones Lock Spirit Ability as in the original work.Instead, it had directly turned into a spatial attribute Spirit Ability with terrifying lethality, named Spatial Strangling!This powerful Spirit Ability required perfect coordination with her agile leg techniques to exert the maximum cutting effect in actual combat.It not only significantly enhanced lethality in close combat but could also transform the power in her legs into long-range spatial blades to injure the enemy when necessary.Moreover, her sharp spatial blades could perfectly combine with the wind blades produced by the Wind God Leg she had learned, forming a double strangulation.However, she hadn't exposed this trump card when dealing with Huo Wu before because she felt it wasn't necessary.Immediately after, Xiao Wu's figure moved like the wind, directly meeting Emperor Auspicious Beast with the exquisite Moves from the Wind God Leg: 'Vigorous Grass in the Wind' and 'Stormy Gale'!The sky full of leg shadows, like a violent storm, forcefully met Emperor Auspicious Beast's fierce Golden Lion Claw.Because Xiao Wu's legs were tightly entwined with spatial blade-threads, every time her jade-like legs kicked out and collided with the opponent, countless tiny and fatal spatial cutting cracks would instantly be generated in the area!This spatial cutting force made even Emperor Auspicious Beast, as an Auspicious Beast, feel very uncomfortable, and several shallow bloodstains soon appeared on her arms.After dozens of consecutive rounds of collision, Emperor Auspicious Beast simply stopped entangling. Golden light flared in her eyes as she suddenly pulled away, finding a perfect opportunity.The fifth black ten-thousand-year spirit ring on Emperor Auspicious Beast's body suddenly lit up, and she launched her fifth Spirit Ability directly at Xiao Wu: Sky-Burning Golden Flame!"Boom!"Emperor Auspicious Beast opened her arms, and a massive tsunami of golden flames instantly erupted, covering half the stage!The burning power of this Sky-Burning Golden Flame was simply terrifyingly strong. It could not only instantly melt most ordinary defensive Spirit Abilities, but it also had the characteristic of sticking like a maggot on a bone, continuously burning the spirit power inside the enemy's body!Facing this overwhelming golden sea of fire, everyone in the spectator stands instantly gasped.Everyone could deeply feel the power and dominance of this fifth Spirit Ability.Flender said with a solemn face: "The temperature of this fire is too frightening. Even if a high-level Spirit Saint stood here, as long as they weren't a pure defense-type Spirit Master, they would inevitably be seriously injured by this strike!"This included Tang San, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, Dai Mubai, Yu Xiaogang, and others.Among them, Ma Hongjun, who possessed the Evil Fire Phoenix Spirit, felt it most clearly and profoundly. After Emperor Auspicious Beast released her ultimate fire Spirit, Ma Hongjun could clearly feel that the evil fire within his body was completely suppressed.He discovered with horror that facing the young girl on the stage, he couldn't even muster a single shred of Battle Intent.Even if they were at the same level of cultivation, it would be the same; this was a most intuitive instinct from the depths of the Spirit's Bloodline.Looking at the sea of fire that swallowed everything, some people even closed their eyes in pity, believing that Xiao Wu would definitely be unable to block this strike.However, the scene that followed left everyone dumbfounded!Xiao Wu, who was in the center of the sea of fire, suddenly emitted a dazzling burst of golden light that covered her entire body!Xiao Wu simply reached out her right hand quite casually and actually blocked Emperor Auspicious Beast's Spirit Ability unharmed!This was her proud absolute defense, Paragon Golden Body!Xiao Wu, draped in golden light, looked at the slightly surprised Emperor Auspicious Beast through the sea of fire and couldn't help but giggle."Didn't expect that, did you? This lady has such a defensive skill!" Xiao Wu boasted proudly.However, Emperor Auspicious Beast on the opposite side did not show any sense of defeat. Instead, she also followed with a smile and asked back in a faint tone: "Is that so? This skill of yours is indeed very powerful, but how long can this defensive skill of yours actually last?"Hearing this sentence, Xiao Wu immediately realized that something was not quite right!She knew very well in her heart that her current Paragon Golden Body could only last for a short five seconds!But now, seeing that the five-second duration of this golden fire released by Emperor Auspicious Beast was almost up, these damn flames still showed no sign of wanting to dissipate completely!Moreover, this golden flame had a very strong adhesiveness, sticking tightly to the golden light shield around her body like glue.Xiao Wu was greatly alarmed: "Don't tell me I have to use Paragon Golden Body a second time in a row just to block this one Move?!"However, in the brief moment Xiao Wu was lost in hesitation, Emperor Auspicious Beast would certainly not leave her any reaction time to think.In the next moment, Emperor Auspicious Beast joined her hands, and a Light Spear formed by compressed pure light force quickly condensed in her hands!Holding the long spear and carrying an indomitable Aura, Emperor Auspicious Beast swept directly toward Xiao Wu in the sea of fire!...
