[DD2]: 501 (Patreon)

The Golden Dragon Spear suddenly swung down, dragging a dazzling trail of golden flames.

All the energy around was swept away in an instant; a domineering and pure power erupted, even causing the space itself to rupture.

The Dark Taotie Beast sensed danger, hurriedly twisting its body, its pitch-black and ferocious claws grabbing towards the Golden Dragon Spear.

Su Yu’s eyes remained unchanged as he brought the Golden Dragon Spear down hard.

“Boom!”

The three-meter-long spear collided with the claws of the Dark Taotie Beast, producing a dull thud and a shower of sparks.

The huge body of the Dark Taotie Beast suddenly sank, while Su Yu’s seemingly small body contained seemingly endless strength.

Even Xuan Zi, empowered by his Martial Soul True Body, was at a disadvantage in this contest of pure strength.

With a forceful flick, Su Yu sent the Dark Taotie Beast flying.

“Hiss!”

Yan Shaozhe gasped, barely able to believe his eyes.

The one at a disadvantage… was Elder Xuan?

And in a contest of pure strength, no less?

Yan Shaozhe was shocked. How strong must Su Yu’s physical power be to pull off something so unbelievable?

“Roar!”

After being thrown back by a single blow, the Dark Taotie Beast let out a furious roar, endless blood energy transforming into blood-black lightning, which struck fiercely at Su Yu.

Su Yu gently waved the Golden Dragon Spear, and an invisible vortex swallowed all the blood-black lightning.

Immediately after, Su Yu flickered, reappearing behind the Dark Taotie Beast, stabbing directly with the Golden Dragon Spear.

The Dark Taotie Beast hurriedly turned its head, but in a flash, Su Yu was already above it.

A foot, like Mount Tai crashing down, stomped heavily on the Dark Taotie’s head.

The massive beast was kicked to the ground.

Su Yu’s figure vanished again, easily dodging every attack and counterattacking in turn.

Each attack forced the Dark Taotie Beast to retreat, leaving the once-terrifying monster battered and miserable.

Yan Shaozhe and the others were already dumbfounded. The combat power Su Yu displayed at this moment completely shattered their understanding.

This ability to shift locations at will was simply overwhelming.

Even Xuan Zi, an Ultimate Douluo, couldn’t get close to Su Yu.

Terrifying!

That was all Yan Shaozhe could say.

Su Yu’s rate of improvement was simply too terrifying.

When Su Yu had fought Zhong Liwu, things hadn’t seemed this easy.

Especially this brand-new ability Su Yu was showing; it left Yan Shaozhe deeply shaken.

“What… what is this?”

“Teleportation?”

“But why is it… is it truly without any limits?”

“How is this possible?”

Yan Shaozhe gaped in disbelief.

He understood teleportation to some extent.

In a sense, teleportation is one of the rarest soul skills.

Especially for melee soul masters, it’s practically a divine skill.

But teleportation always comes with limits.

Distance, number of uses, soul power consumption—the stronger the skill, the greater the cost.

But Su Yu’s case left Yan Shaozhe perplexed.

This seemingly limitless teleportation had no cooldown whatsoever, and the distance was at least hundreds of meters.

Is this even normal teleportation?

Who could ever lock onto Su Yu when he can move like this at will?

You probably wouldn’t even have time to react.

Absolutely absurd!

Yan Shaozhe started to doubt reality—no wonder even Xuan Zi was struggling.

The true form of the Dark Taotie Beast was strong, but too big a target—against Su Yu, it was basically a live bullseye.

“Xiao Yu, you’ve become this strong already?”

Zhang Lexuan murmured softly.

Su Yu was growing so quickly—she felt proud, but also under great pressure.

Once again, she was being surpassed by Su Yu.

She had thought she could share some of his burdens, but in the end, he could only rely on himself.

Not only was she unable to help, she still needed Su Yu’s rescue.

Shaking her head, Zhang Lexuan gave a wry smile.

She gave up.

She would no longer insist on keeping pace with Su Yu.

It was too difficult.

This boy’s growth was just… beyond reason!

No matter how hard she tried, how could she compete with someone as unreasonable as Su Yu?

Moreover, even her own progress had been greatly aided by Su Yu.

How hard was it to keep up with Su Yu’s pace?

Zhang Lexuan sighed softly. Perhaps what she could do was help Su Yu manage Shrek Academy.

That was the only thing she could do for him.

“Roar!”

The Golden Dragon Spear sliced across the Dark Taotie Beast’s body, blood splattering everywhere, along with soul power and vitality.

The Golden Dragon Spear had a devouring ability, and Su Yu wouldn’t turn that off when fighting the Dark Taotie Beast.

This was one of the spear’s ultimate trump cards.

The Dark Taotie Beast let out a painful howl, its wails chilling to the bone.

“Roar!”

The blood fiend aura exploded around it.

A series of terrifying explosions forced Su Yu back.

The Dark Taotie Beast quickly retreated, transforming into human form amidst a burst of blood-black light.

Now Xuan Zi’s hair was a mess, his clothes tattered and bloody.

His crimson eyes were burning with rage, glaring at Su Yu as if he wanted to devour him.

The next moment, the gluttonous phantom behind him merged into Xuan Zi’s body, and a pillar of blood-black light shot to the sky.

It was still Martial Soul True Body, but now in human form.

The huge beastly form was too clumsy against agile Su Yu.

In human form, Xuan Zi could fight more efficiently, without losing any power.

Su Yu smiled faintly, eyes narrowed. The Ice Emperor appeared behind him.

Icy blue radiance spread, dispelling all the blood-colored light.

The temperature plummeted, icy air overflowed—the breath in the air instantly condensed into icy mist.

Red, red, gold, red, red, red, red, red—eight soul rings shone brilliantly.

For the first time, Su Yu publicly revealed his true soul ring configuration.

Not eight reds, but seven red and one gold.

The golden soul ring shone with noble, mysterious, and dazzling brilliance—almost blinding.

“What’s that?”

Yan Shaozhe was shocked. He’d never seen a golden soul ring before.

“A golden soul ring?”

“Could it be…”

Xian Lin’er’s pupils shrank. She remembered something.

The golden soul ring wasn’t entirely unprecedented.

Ten thousand years ago, their ancestor—Tang San, the Sea God of Shrek Academy—had a golden soul ring.

Legend says it came from the million-year soul beast Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

Some say the golden ring represents a million years, the foundation of a god ring.

Normally, only deities possess golden soul rings.

But Su Yu was only a Soul Douluo—he couldn’t be a god yet. That meant his soul ring likely came from a million-year soul beast?

Xian Lin’er was shocked, her face full of awe.

Yan Shaozhe quickly remembered too, his pupils shrinking to needle points.

A m-million-year soul ring?

Below, Xu Jiujiu and the others stared at Su Yu’s eight soul rings in shock.

A solid swath of red, dazzling to the eyes.

Few knew about million-year soul rings; most present couldn’t recognize it.

But that wall of red alone was shocking enough.

“A Soul Douluo already. This guy’s speed is incredible.”

Xu Jiujiu sighed, feeling a sense of awe.

Su Yu was so outstanding..

But unfortunately, this guy was utterly unapproachable, leaving people both loving and hating him.

“Senior Xuan Zi, come, let me see what you’ve got.”

Su Yu held the Golden Dragon Spear horizontally, exuding an air of dominance.

With seven reds and one gold, eight soul rings, Su Yu looked like a god, his aura soaring.

Xuan Zi roared, blood-black mist blazing around him, the air distorting with a sinister hue.

He reached out—his fifth soul ring lit up, and endless blood-black mist gathered into a giant claw, swiping at Su Yu.

Like a demon’s claw, the monstrous hand enveloped Su Yu, as if to tear him apart.

But Su Yu remained calm. His left hand formed a sword; an icy blue flash swept past.

Even space itself seemed to be cut in two—the dark giant claw split down the middle.

Then, Su Yu’s left hand became a claw, crackling with blue-purple lightning, packed with terrifying destructive power.

“It’s only fair, Senior Xuan Zi—take one of mine!”

Su Yu’s claw struck, locking the space around Xuan Zi.

With Su Yu’s current mastery of space, it was effortless.

Xuan Zi immediately felt the space around him freeze, his body shackled.

A powerful spiritual force locked onto him, leaving no escape.

In terms of spirit, Su Yu was even stronger than Xuan Zi, who had already become an Ultimate Douluo.

The thunder claw crashed down, erupting in devastating power.

Azure Dull Divine Claw + Azure Annihilation Lightning.

Two skills unleashed together.

Xuan Zi’s sixth soul ring lit up. Blood-black mist condensed into a thick barrier.

The thunder claw scratched at the barrier, producing a screech like a knife on glass.

Then, with a burst of extreme cold from the thunder claw, the barrier shattered.

The thunder claw hit Xuan Zi, blackening him with electricity; his hair stood on end.

Wild lightning rampaged through Xuan Zi’s body, arcs of electricity dancing around him.

Eyes wide, Xuan Zi let out a beastly roar as his eighth soul ring flared.

His body swelled, forcibly expelling the wild lightning.

With a twist of his hands, a pitch-black vortex appeared above Su Yu.

A massive devouring force emerged—the vortex like a black hole, trying to swallow Su Yu whole.

This was the devouring power of the Dark Taotie Beast.

It was an extremely troublesome power.

Used well, it was no less impressive than ultimate attributes.

On the continent, another person excelled at the devouring power—Di Tian.

But they were fundamentally different; Di Tian’s devouring was based on ultimate darkness.

Xuan Zi’s devouring was more direct and violent.

Devouring soul power, bloodline, even life force—devouring attacks could swallow almost anything.

The taotie beast was one of the truly mighty ferocious beasts, its power terrifying.

At this moment, Xuan Zi revealed the trump card of the Dark Taotie Beast.

“Devouring power, is it.”

Su Yu narrowed his eyes.

He hadn’t expected Xuan Zi, after falling, to gain a power he’d never had before.

The Taotie Divine Bull could not compare to the Dark Taotie Beast.

No wonder, in the original story, Xuan Zi, strengthened by Mu En and the Golden Ancient Tree, could even temporarily restrain Di Tian.

The strength of the Taotie bloodline was unquestionable.

But compared to him, it was still lacking.

“Devouring is indeed powerful, but not invincible.”

“Freeze!”

The ultimate ice aura spread, his seventh soul ring lit up, and the Ice Emperor’s phantom fused into Su Yu.

Seventh Soul Skill—Emperor’s True Body!

In this state, Su Yu’s overall strength multiplied several times.

A blue pillar of light shot into the vortex, gradually freezing the blackness.

Even the omnivorous devouring force was blocked by the extreme cold.

There’s no truly invincible power—what matters is understanding and mastery.

By now, Su Yu had grasped the essence of ultimate ice.

Every move showcased its true power.

“Space Stasis!”

Su Yu clenched his fist in the air. Invisible space became like an iron wall; Xuan Zi’s body froze, along with the surrounding space.

Within the area, all energy molecules, water vapor, everything stopped flowing.

Space Stasis—this divine skill, inherited from the Space Elemental Holy Dragon soul bone, could even immobilize an Ultimate Douluo like Xuan Zi.

With a teleport, Su Yu appeared before the frozen Xuan Zi, gazing into his wild, murderous red eyes, and sighed softly.

“Senior Xuan Zi, it seems you can’t wake up anymore. You’ve truly fallen… sigh!”

With a sigh, Su Yu punched Xuan Zi in the face. Blood spurted from Xuan Zi’s mouth, teeth went flying, and he was sent flying.

Leaving the stasis zone, Xuan Zi regained movement, but before he could react, a flash of light turned him into an ice sculpture.

Ice Emperor’s Decree!

This skill, once ineffective even against a quasi-god like Mu Wu, was now effortless against Xuan Zi.

Su Yu teleported over, and stomped on Xuan Zi’s face, distorting it badly.

“Senior Xuan Zi, I didn’t want to do this either. I feel your pain!”

“But since you can’t wake up, I had no choice but to use this last resort!”
