Chapter 8: Shocked Sword Douluo
🕑 Added 2025-03-05 11:01:50 +0000 UTC“How is it possible…”
Sword Douluo felt his current soul power level, and looked at Ye Cheng, who was holding a nine-story pagoda in his hand, in disbelief. He exclaimed, “Even if Feng Zhi used all his strength, my soul power could only barely reach the threshold of level 97. You… actually let me cross the boundary of level 3 and reach the peerless realm!”
In Douluo Continent, when a soul master cultivates to the Titled Douluo realm, the difference between each level is huge, especially after level 95, even increasing the soul power by one level will be a huge improvement.
Generally, soul power exceeding level 95 is considered the watershed for Title Douluo. Although the gap in soul power between levels 91 and 95 is not small, it can be completely compensated by the advantages of martial soul quality or soul bones, soul skills, etc.
However, if one of the two Titled Douluo fighting each other has a strength exceeding level 95, then the situation will change.
Because a Titled Douluo at level 96 is 20% stronger in soul power than a Titled Douluo at level 95.
Don’t underestimate this 20%. When applied in actual combat, it will greatly improve the soul master in all aspects.
When the soul power is 20% stronger, it can no longer be compensated by the quality of the martial soul and ordinary soul skills and soul bones.
Unless there is an essential gap in the soul skills of both sides, or the quality and age of the soul bones are very high, a Titled Douluo at level 96 is enough to completely suppress a Titled Douluo below level 95.
After that, when you break through from level 96 to level 97, your soul power will increase by another 30% on the original basis.
Upgrading from level 97 to level 98 is another 40% increase.
As for the final level 98 to level 99, the soul power will increase by another 50%.
In other words, from level 96 to level 99, Sword Douluo could feel that the soul power in his body was at least twice as much as before, and nearly three times as much.
What does this mean?
The strongest known amplification spirit on Douluo Continent, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower, can only theoretically increase the power by a factor of two.
Even so, in the Douluo Continent worldview, this kind of increase is already very abnormal and extremely powerful. For example, ordinary auxiliary spirit masters can only reach 5% or 10%.
It Is conceivable how shocked Sword Douluo was when he realized that his soul power had been increased nearly three times on the spot.
Because of Ye Cheng’s martial spirit, the amplification effect was completely beyond common sense. It was too shocking.
“You’re so surprised when it’s only about three times as strong. If I tell you that my full power increase is 10 times, you’ll be so excited that you’ll faint.” Ye Cheng held up the Nine Treasures Glazed Tower, and the amplification divine light on it slowly converged, and he secretly complained in his heart.
Although all of his Nine Treasures Glazed Tower’s soul amplification skills can only increase by ten times, he can also selectively choose the amplification rate. Just like now, it only increases Sword Douluo by nearly three times, and stops when his soul power is increased to Limit Douluo.
As for why he didn’t give him a full tenfold boost, it was of course because it was unnecessary. After all, boosting others also required him to consume his own soul power, and the stronger the person being boosted, the more soul power he would consume.
Although the increase in power for both Soul King and Titled Douluo is 10 times, the amount of soul power they need to consume is different.
With his current strength as an Limit Douluo, if he really gave a 10-fold increase to a level 96 Sword Douluo, the consumption of his own soul power would also be considerable.
Besides, when the fight starts later, if Sword Douluo becomes too powerful and I get killed by him, it will be a lot of fun.
If Ye Cheng’s strength was really gained through practice bit by bit, then he certainly wouldn’t have such concerns. But the key point is that his strength was gained out of thin air, and he didn’t have the confidence of a strong man to match it.
Of course I would choose to be safer.
“Please.”
Ye Cheng retracted his martial spirit, stood with his hands behind his back and said: “Now that our spirit power levels are the same, let me see what kind of style the famous Seven Killing Sword has.”
The shock In Sword Douluo’s eyes slowly subsided.
Feeling the powerful soul power in the body that is incomparable to before, the confidence is unprecedentedly strong.
Just looking at Ye Cheng who was calm and composed and had not even summoned his spirit yet, he frowned and said, “My level is now the same as yours, why don’t you summon your spirit? Are you looking down on me?!”
In the spirit master world, generally speaking, before a spirit master fights, he will summon his martial spirit and state his spirit master level. This is both a respect for the opponent and an unwritten rule.
‘Can I say I forgot?’
Ye Cheng felt embarrassed and was busy pretending to be profound.
There was no way, he was just an ordinary person after all. He had never fought with a spirit master before, so it was normal for him to forget this unwritten rule.
‘What the hell, what now?’
“It would be too embarrassing to summon the spirit at this time.”
‘No, we can only let it go on like this.’
Ye Cheng had made up his mind. He felt that even without using his martial spirit, he might be able to defeat Sword Douluo with the powerful strength brought by his character.
So, he didn’t say anything on the surface, but just smiled faintly, with an unfathomable look on his face.
However, in Sword Douluo’s eyes, his appearance meant: I don’t need my martial soul to deal with you.
“Arrogant!”
Sword Douluo was finally annoyed.
In his opinion, Ye Cheng was too contemptuous.
And he was very arrogant!
You know, in this world, most of a soul master’s strength is placed on his martial soul. If he doesn’t use his martial soul, he can’t even use the most important soul skills of a soul master.
If a soul master does not use soul skills, even if he has strong soul power and strong physical fitness, how much of his strength can he exert?
Sword Douluo admitted that Ye Cheng was very strong, but he wanted to defeat him without his martial spirit. Especially now that he was strengthened, it was really too arrogant and ignorant.
Did he look down on Sword Douluo’s Seven Killing Swords?
Thinking of this, Sword Douluo could no longer bear it.
Sword energy bursts out!
The whole person turned into a sharp force, breaking through the air in an instant, the Seven Killing Sword in his hand tilted, the first soul ring that turned into a star lit up, and the sword energy suddenly surged and slashed towards Ye Cheng.
Kill!
The terrifying sword energy shot out in the void, cutting through the space and revealing a pitch-black color. Ye Cheng was in the cut void.
Feeling the power above, Ye Cheng knew that it was not the power of Sword Douluo’s sword that was enough to cut through the void. It should be the effect of the martial soul combined with the soul skill.
If Sword Douluo’s Seven Killing Swords could split the space simply by itself or by the sword energy alone, then even gods would not be able to stop him. Because this means that his sword realm has become extraordinary and reached the highest level.
This is obviously impossible.
However, facing the sharpness of the sword, Ye Cheng naturally couldn’t be so foolish as to block it with his body. He just whooshed away and disappeared instantly.
“!”
Sword Douluo was startled. He suddenly remembered the soul bones that Ye Cheng obtained from killing many hundred thousand year soul beasts in the video.
Obviously, his method of sudden disappearance is probably the skill of soul bone.
It seems that even without using martial soul, relying only on soul bone skills, this Ye Cheng would definitely be difficult to deal with.
