Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting

Chapter 44: Fighting against Ye Lingtong again

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Both teachers were dumbfounded by this scene, not to mention Huang Qifan himself.

The entire process was quick and it seemed quite simple. Dodge, make a by-pass, turn water into ice, make your opponent lose his balance, take advantage of the situation by controlling the key points of the opponent and finally, defeat the enemy.

Everything seemed to have happened naturally but this child was only seven years old! It was clearly not so normal. Qiu Yuxin was somewhat stunned too. A child at this age would just crash into his enemy to see who is stronger. Even their techniques would be quite rough.

But Lan Xuanyu’s moves were as fluid as flowing water. His motion as he defeated Huang Qifan was simple and direct.

“Turn water to ice?” Gong Yinghao blurted out as his face turned awful.

Qiu Yuxin looked at Lan Xuanyu who had already jumped off Huang Qifan’s back and mumbled, “Teacher Gong, what did you say just now?”

“I...” Gong Yinghao was pissed off!

Lan Xuanyu also found it quite weird, how did he win? He merely used the footwork that Nana taught him, the ice awl was also taught by Nana and she told him at that time that he was still young and the ice awl is the strongest weapon that he could create at the moment. It doesn’t use much Spirit Power but he was told that he must learn how to make full use of it. Of course, she taught him a few close combat techniques and after much practice, he naturally started using it.

“Teacher Gong, I’ll do it.” Ye Lingtong charged forward automatically.

Huang Qifan stood up at the same time, looking confused as he pointed his finger at Lan Xuanyu. “You cheated.”

Ye Lingtong pulled him. “Don’t embarrass yourself, he was using actual combat techniques.”

She has been learning how to fight and use ancient martial arts from Ye Feng since she was little so she could obviously tell. Lan Xuanyu wasn’t lucky just now, it was clearly a type of a close combat technique. She was even more confident now. She has been training since she was little and she even felt that if she wasn’t bent on using her spirit to defeat Lan Xuanyu the previous time, she would have been able to defeat him easily even by using ancient martial arts. She just needed to be more careful.

With that painful experience in her mind, she extremely worked hard during the holidays. She made progress in various areas and she even found a way to restrain Lan Xuanyu’s suppression of her spirit. She should have a high chance of winning against him now.

“Alright.” Gong Yinghao couldn’t think of someone who could fight against Lan Xuanyu, who had made a drastic improvement in his fighting power. The fighting power of first graders was too weak and they couldn’t expend too much either. If he continued winning, they would be defeated today! It was also good to let Ye Lingtong, who was the strongest, go out there.

It was completely unexpected. Ye Lingtong ran forward and even yelled, “Lan Xuanyu, don’t be too happy, I am coming!”

Lan Xuanyu was still a little dazed at this moment, and he didn’t expect that he would win so easily either. It was as if success came naturally without him putting in some extra effort. Usually, when he’s chasing after his Teacher Nana, she would point out a lot of his mistakes like his incorrect form. She would then release a jet of water towards the area and she made sure that he would correct it first before moving on. She also gave him some tips about fighting and she focused a lot on his timings especially when he’s dodging or chasing someone.

When Huang Qifan pounced on him, Lan Xuanyu only felt that he was full of loopholes and very naturally, he chose the most succinct way to forge ahead. Then, he won...

‘This really seemed quite easy, huh!’ He thought to himself.

At this moment, when he heard Ye Lingtong coming towards him, he hurriedly jumped off Huang Jifan’s body and looked at Ye Lingtong who had already released her ferocious spirit. He lifted his hand and the ice awl flew towards Ye Lingtong’s shoulders.

Ye Lingtong scoffed. There was a faint cry of a dragon and a layer of white glow that had already been dispersed from her body — it was that hundred-year Spirit Ring skill, Celestial Body.

But what was different was that the second this white glow appeared, it retracted back immediately and Ye Lingtong’s face suddenly looked a little flushed. Everyone saw a faint layer of silvery white light on the surface of her skin. Her momentum seemed to be slower but her speed was immense. She just twisted her body without any effort to dodge that ice awl and with a big stride forward, she found herself right in front of Lan Xuanyu.

It was fast. This move alone was much faster than Huang Qifan’s lunge but Lan Xuanyu could also tell that his feet were stable and her form had lesser loopholes. She used one hand to grab him and she used the other as a shield.

This time, Lan Xuanyu didn’t take a step back and went forward voluntarily instead.

A faint blue halo radiated from his left hand. It flowed into his entire body until it took shape as a thin shield.

Ye Lingtong was delighted. She had already come into contact with Lan Xuanyu’s water elements a few times before and she knew very well that it wasn’t very strong. With her advancement in her skill, Celestial Body, what could this thin layer of water shield do?

She busted through the force blocking her right hand without any hesitation in an attempt to touch Lan Xuanyu’s chest directly.

Lan Xuanyu had both arms across his chest like he wanted to resist Ye Lingtong’s attack but at the moment she was about to touch him, his body started spinning.

Ye Lingtong’s momentum remained unchanged. From her point of view, Lan Xuanyu’s move might be able to block off some of the force of her attack but she knew that he won’t be able to resist it completely.

However, at the moment her hand was about to grab him, the silver pattern on the Blue Silver Grass wrapped around Lan Xuanyu’s left hand lit up all of a sudden. Following that, Ye Lingtong felt that the Lan Xuanyu standing before her turned blurry like she had a layer of chiffon over her as the temperature in the air started to drop.

“Hiss!” Ye Lingtong made a shocking discovery that she wasn’t grabbing onto the soft water elements and instead, she had her hands on a strong and a slippery ice surface. He was able to escape from her grasp.

Lan Xuanyu’s body slid off along the side of her right arm. He got behind her within a blink of an eye. He then clenched his fist and this thin layer of ice around his body exploded with a “bang” before turning into an ice fog.

His cultivation was still very low and his skill with it was not enough to be used against Ye Lingtong. Their distance was too close, they’re right behind each other to the point that their backs were almost touching.

Ye Lingtong’s reaction was very swift. When she realized that Lan Xuanyu had slipped off of her grasp, she didn’t hesitate to react immediately.

She was from a learned family and she practiced ancient martial arts with her father since she was little. So with regards to her ability to adapt and her real combat experience, there was nobody who could perform better than her indeed.

With her toes pointed to the ground, her body retreated abruptly and she leaned back with her elbows tucked behind her.

The teachers-in-charge Qiu Yuxin and Gong Yinghao’s eyes lit up when they saw her leaning back. It was true that Lan Xuanyu responded cleverly, especially when he used the water shield and spun at the same time. It was simply amazing but Ye Lingtong’s response surprised them too.

At least in their memory, they had never taught such outstanding first graders before.

Ye Lingtong leaned backwards but suddenly, she felt a “bang” behind her. Not only that, she also felt a sudden chill. Even when she was in the state of her Celestial Body, she could still feel the coldness all over her surroundings as her movements became slower.

“Pop! Pop!”

Ye Lingtong felt the pain of two ice awls piercing through her elbows even with the defense of her Celestial Body.

Lan Xuanyu was also astonished, he was worried that the ice awls would really hurt Ye Lingtong so he didn’t dare to stab her back. But, he didn’t expect that Ye Lingtong’s Celestial Body’s defense to be so strong to the point that his two ice awls broke into pieces in an instant.

The two people were both on their first Spirit Ring but Ye Lingtong was more experienced in actual combat. She lifted her right leg and went straight between Lan Xuanyu’s legs.

“No!” Qiu Yuxin and Hong Yinghao yelled at the same time.

Both teachers were dripping in cold sweat. If this kick really happened, it would be over for Lan Xuanyu!
