“Interesting.”

Su Yu murmured. With his sharp eyes, he could naturally see that Long Aotian had used a special technique to forcibly enter the state of Unity with Heaven and Man.

But even so, there was a difference between the two.

For Su Yu, Unity with Heaven and Man was natural and effortless, maintained at all times.

Long Aotian, on the other hand, had to use a special method to force himself into this state—meaning he was constantly expending energy to maintain it.

It was almost certain that to make up for this disadvantage, Long Aotian would choose to end the battle quickly.

And indeed, that’s what happened.

Before Su Yu could react, Long Aotian launched an aggressive attack.

With a light tap of his toe, he slid towards Su Yu as if gliding.

In the process, seven soul rings appeared one after another: yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black.

As the Body Sect’s top disciple, Long Aotian’s soul ring configuration even surpassed the optimal standard.

Among the Holy Slayer Palace members, only Su Yu and the Snow Empress could surpass this; even Wang Dong’er was only on par with Long Aotian.

As the Body Sect’s strongest disciple, Long Aotian’s excellence was truly evident.

A distance of a hundred meters was crossed in an instant. Without any wasted movement, Long Aotian raised his right hand and pressed down toward Su Yu.

Instantly, the entire arena trembled slightly. The air, sunlight, and moisture—all seemed to become part of Long Aotian.

His jade-white palm fell lightly. Though it appeared gentle, in Su Yu’s eyes, it seemed to carry the force of heaven and earth—immensely intimidating.

Su Yu smiled calmly and casually pushed out with his hand. Though his palm moved slowly, it carried an earth-shattering might.

The air seemed drained, the sunlight cut off, and everything faded into nothingness in an instant.

Crash!

When the two palms met, there was no sound, but Long Aotian’s expression changed in shock.

He felt his palm power disappear like a stone sinking into the sea—gone without a trace.

Su Yu’s palm seemed calm, but it felt like a deep, unfathomable abyss.

“Unity with Heaven and Man—impressive, but not quite there..”

Su Yu lightly pressed down with another palm. This time, Long Aotian’s expression changed dramatically.

As the palm fell, everything around him seemed to change instantly.

The air, moisture, sunlight—even space itself—seemed to reject him.

For a moment, it was as if he had been abandoned by the world itself.

The jade-white glow surrounding him instantly shattered—he was forcibly ejected from the Unity with Heaven and Man state.

Long Aotian’s face turned pale as he staggered back several steps, disbelief etched across his face. “How is this possible?”

It was his first time experiencing something so bizarre. His state of unity was forcibly broken.

He’d never even heard of such a thing.

It was hard to accept.

Not only Long Aotian—even Unbreakable Douluo Zheng Zhan was utterly bewildered, doubting reality.

The battle between Su Yu and Long Aotian was on such a high level he simply couldn’t comprehend it.

“What a bizarre technique.”

In the main stand, Zhongli Wu narrowed his eyes, cold light flashing.

Su Yu’s level was beyond his expectations.

To be able to forcibly knock Long Aotian out of the Unity with Heaven and Man state meant Su Yu’s realm was even higher.

Given time, Su Yu would surely become a Super Douluo, perhaps even an Ultimate Douluo.

Such a person was too dangerous.

Douluo Continent could not tolerate such an overpowering figure.

For the first time, Zhongli Wu felt a sense of threat and murderous intent toward Su Yu.

But with Su Yu’s deep background and Ice Emperor Hai Bodong backing him, he was a tricky target.

“Sect Master Wu, what’s going on?”

Xu Tiannan looked at Zhongli Wu in confusion, unable to understand the depth of what had just occurred.

His strength was far inferior—even worse than Unbreakable Douluo—so he couldn’t grasp the significance of Su Yu’s feat.

“It’s nothing major, just surprising. This Ice God Palace young master’s talent is simply too high.”

“In the future, he might become an Ultimate Douluo, maybe even surpass that.”

Zhongli Wu appeared to be smiling but was emphasizing Su Yu’s danger.

He knew Xu Tiannan’s character well—there was no way he’d tolerate such a person’s existence.

Sure enough, Xu Tiannan’s expression changed, and a murderous intent bloomed in his heart.

He already deeply resented Su Yu—now, with such talent, this man couldn’t be allowed to live.

That was his first reaction.

But…

He also realized, just like Zhongli Wu, that Su Yu was not easy to kill.

He had considered killing Su Yu before, but it was simply impossible.

Suppressing his murderous intent, Xu Tiannan forced a smile. “Is he really as amazing as you say? I didn’t see it, haha.”

Zhongli Wu “praised”: “Oh, it’s very impressive. Many Super Douluo don’t even have such a realm.”

He emphasized Su Yu’s danger once more.

Xu Tiannan’s smile stiffened.

“So, Sect Master Wu, are you saying Su Yu is sure to win this match?”

Xu Tiannan forced a laugh.

“He has a very high chance, but the Body Sect’s Long Aotian isn’t an ordinary person—this won’t be so simple.”

Zhongli Wu’s pale face showed a mysterious smile.

“Oh?”

Xu Tiannan looked thoughtful, and when he met Zhongli Wu’s gaze, he seemed to understand something.

In the arena, Su Yu threw a punch. Deprived of his Unity with Heaven and Man state, Long Aotian lost his former imposing presence.

With a gentle punch, Su Yu sent him flying back over ten meters.

Before Long Aotian could react, Su Yu crossed the distance in a single step and slammed down another punch, forcing Long Aotian back again.

Su Yu closed in again and punched a third time.

Three consecutive punches, each heavier than the last, drove Long Aotian almost to the edge of the arena—nearly a hundred meters.

After three blows, Long Aotian’s blood surged, his face turning even paler.

“Aotian…”

In the waiting area, Weina’s beautiful face changed.

In her memory, Long Aotian had always been invincible—yet now, he was forced to this point right from the start.

From the current situation, Su Yu completely dominated.

“Boss…”

The rest of the Body Sect team was stunned.

When had they ever seen Long Aotian being so crushed?

Was the opponent really that strong?

Wiping a trace of blood from his lips, Long Aotian grinned.

“Now that’s power!”

He shouted, his eyes flashing, fighting intent blazing.

He was a martial arts fanatic—Su Yu’s strength didn’t frighten him; it only excited him more.

“Come on!”

His first soul ring lit up, and Long Aotian’s body began to change, swelling and becoming even more muscular.

Next, his third soul ring activated, and a dark golden sheen appeared on his skin.

With two soul skills in succession, his aura grew even stronger.

It looked as if he was wearing a suit of metal armor, exuding a fierce wind.

In the next moment, he charged at Su Yu again.

Naturally, Su Yu did not retreat. The air chilled, a phantom appeared behind him, and faint halos rippled outward.

But strangely, no matter how anyone looked, they couldn’t tell the color of Su Yu’s soul rings—it was all a blur.

They could only vaguely see layers of ice armor wrapping around Su Yu.

Boom!

The two figures collided. Long Aotian was sent flying, and Su Yu seemed to stagger back a few steps.

Seeing Su Yu finally forced back, Long Aotian’s excitement grew, and he charged again.

He raised his right hand, and with the second soul ring shining, his right arm twisted and morphed into a dark golden saber.

Su Yu casually gathered ultimate cold energy and formed an ice sword, facing Long Aotian head-on.

Blade and sword clashed, producing a piercing screech. Long Aotian shivered as an intense cold invaded his body.

In just a moment, half his body felt numb, and even his soul ached from the cold.

“What an Ultimate Ice!”

Slashing at the ice sword, Long Aotian quickly backed off, pouring soul power through his body to expel the cold.

Then, he grinned, and his fourth soul ring lit up.

To the audience’s astonishment, Long Aotian’s body stretched like rubber, growing to four meters tall in an instant.

With both arms combined, his height exceeded five meters.

Dark golden light flickered, and his arms transformed into a massive battle axe, ready to split the heavens.

Fourth Soul Skill: Berserk God Slash!

Facing this terrifying strike, Su Yu put away his ice sword, raised his right fist, and punched out with unmatched dominance.

It was an indescribable force—one punch breaking all techniques.

Elephant Formless Fist!

Di Mingli’s eyes shone, staring intently.

Boom!

Fist and axe collided. Under the giant dark golden axe was Su Yu’s slender fist.

But that slender fist carried the force to shatter the world.

With a dull sound, like war drums and thunder, a figure was sent flying and slammed into the protective barrier.

The force made the barrier tremble, nearly breaking.

Su Yu, too, seemed to be affected, retreating a dozen steps.

Zhongli Wu’s lips curled in satisfaction. Indeed, the difference between them wasn’t insurmountable.

The Ice God Palace’s young master was outstanding, but the Body Sect kid was a once-in-a-millennium genius as well.

Fight, fight harder, the more intense the better—heh heh heh.

“Boss, hang in there!”

Long Aotian was blasted away, and the Body Sect team’s hearts sank.

If even Long Aotian lost, the Body Sect would have no more hope.

“As expected of you.”

In the audience, Wu Ming and the other girls’ eyes lit up.

Su Yu really was Su Yu—he instantly took the upper hand.

Anyone with eyes could see Su Yu’s strength surpassed Long Aotian’s.

Xu Jiujiu smiled brightly—just as she expected, Su Yu was the best. Her judgment was right.

“Come again!”

Blasted away, Long Aotian immediately jumped up.

In all his battles with Su Yu, he had always been on the losing end—there was no way he didn’t feel pressure.

But that pressure only became the best catalyst, making him more excited than ever.

Long Aotian spun his arms in a big circle in front of him, his body turning jade-white, light rippling across his skin.

A silver, illusory figure appeared behind him, its silver light dazzling.

After being pushed so far, Long Aotian finally revealed his trump card: Body Martial Soul Second Awakening.

And this was a silver-level awakening, higher than bronze.

With the second awakening, Long Aotian’s aura soared, becoming incomparably fierce.

At the same time, his fifth soul ring lit up.

Second Awakening + Fifth Soul Skill: Heaven and Earth Shift.

Long Aotian spun rapidly, shooting into the sky like a giant ball of white light. After rising over a hundred meters, he suddenly paused and then descended with unstoppable force.

Heaven and Earth Shift—his attack truly changed the color of the world.

Su Yu seemed to feel the pressure and finally got serious.

Black and white light spread, forming a black-white field around him.

A black and white divine dragon suddenly appeared, coiling around Su Yu.

At that moment, Su Yu’s aura reached its peak.

Facing Long Aotian’s falling strike, Su Yu raised his fist and punched out.

Boom!

Heaven and earth shook, and the resulting energy wave obscured all vision.

The entire stage quaked madly, and even the barrier, maintained by many soul masters, trembled and nearly collapsed.

Long Aotian spat blood skyward and laughed, “One last move—let’s decide it all!”

He soared skyward again—though injured, he was even more frenzied.

Brilliant silver light shone everywhere; his seventh soul ring lit up, and his body instantly swelled into a small giant.

At the same time, that mysterious, harmonious feeling returned.

Silver Awakening + Martial Soul Avatar + Unity with Heaven and Man + Personal Soul Skill!

Long Aotian unleashed his full power.

In that instant, his explosive force neared the level of a Title Douluo.

Su Yu exhaled softly. The phantom behind him vanished, but his entire body radiated icy blue light.

At the same time, snowflakes filled the air, instantly blanketing the entire arena.

Even Unbreakable Douluo Zheng Zhan lost all sense within the boundless snow.
