Chapter 1021 (2/2)

With that in mind, Ma Shan decided that he couldn't allow this to drag on any longer.

His eighth soul ring finally lit up for the first time, and after he grabbed onto Tang Wulin's ankle again, he abruptly sprang up into the air with him. His aura abruptly changed, and Tang Wulin was struck by a burst of power that was surging toward him like a volcanic eruption.

A layer of bleak white flames abruptly appeared over Ma Shan's body. This was a type of flame with no heat, but Tang Wulin could clearly sense that his opponent's strength had suddenly tripled.

Were these... the legendary Flames of Strength? This was a manifestation of ultimate strength!

A shocked expression appeared on Tang Wulin's face, and at the same time, his fifth golden soul ring lit up for the very first time. He didn't even know what ability this fifth golden soul ring would bestow upon him, but he reflexively sensed that if he wanted to avert this crisis, then his only choice was to use this fifth golden soul ring's power.

This was the bloodline soul skill bestowed upon him by his 10th seal, so it should be far more powerful than that of his previous four soul skills. He wondered what kind of effect it would have.

Ma Shan could clearly sense a burst of strange power emanating from Tang Wulin's body, and he seemed to have suddenly begun trembling violently. Wait, it wasn't him that was trembling; it was Ma Shan himself!

Ma Shan's Flames of Strength had significantly boosted his strength, and he'd grabbed onto Tang Wulin's ankles, one in each hand, preparing to tear his body apart to end this battle.

However, he discovered that after Tang Wulin's fifth golden soul ring lit up, his arms suddenly began to tremble in an involuntary and uncontrollable manner. Immediately thereafter, Ma Shan's entire body shuddered violently, following which a burst of reddish-golden light abruptly exploded right before him amid a resounding boom.

Even with his powers as a Soul Douluo, Ma Shan was still sent flying by the ferocious explosion. Tang Wulin was also quite astonished. He only sensed the blood essence power within his body abruptly becoming a lot more active, producing a type of high-frequency vibrational force that was released outward. The reddish-golden light was released to cover an area with a diameter of over 50 meters, and after Ma Shan was sent flying, the reddish-golden light caught up to him before exploding on his body over and over again. The explosions forced him all the way to the edge of the compet.i.tion platform, where he crashed into the protective barrier, then rebounded off it before thumping heavily into the ground.

The fifth bloodline soul ring had had an unprecedented devastating effect, but Tang Wulin wore a wry smile on his face. This was because all of his blood essence power and soul power had been completely exhausted following that attack.

What the h.e.l.l was this thing? It was indeed extremely powerful, but it rendered him completely powerless!

Tang Wulin fell from the sky, completely devoid of all soul power and blood essence power. The system adjudged that he no longer possessed the power to continue fighting, and he was teleported out of the compet.i.tion venue.

This was his first defeat in the Star Battle Net, and it had taken place under some very perplexing circ.u.mstances.

It was undoubtedly the case that this battle had been very beneficial to his quest to control his own body, and the effect of his fifth bloodline soul ring was also extremely powerful, but just what was that thing? Did he have to release all of his power just to unleash it once? No matter how powerful the soul skill was, it was like a kamikaze attack!

Tang Wulin was quite bemused, as was Ma Shan, even though he had just won. [Does this mean Ma Shan is Blood Nine now? LOL]

In the instant that Tang Wulin was teleported out of the venue, he was also evicted, and he turned to Tang Wulin in a flabbergasted manner. ”Wh, what was that soul skill of yours? I felt like I couldn't exert any of my strength on you; it was a very strange feeling!”

Tang Wulin wore a wry smile as he said, ”I only just attained this ability, and I still don't even know its effect. Let's end things here for today, Corps Commander Ma; I have to figure some things out for myself, and we can spar another time.”

After bidding farewell to Ma Shan, Tang Wulin hurriedly logged out of the Star Battle Net before returning to his room to meditate. That battle had been very beneficial to him for a.s.sessing his own condition.

It was undoubtedly the case that his drastic overall enhancements had lowered the degree of control he had over his own body, but that wasn't a bad thing. As long as he could learn to control his powers properly, his combat prowess would undoubtedly enjoy a significant increase. But what was that fifth soul bloodline soul skill? What was going on there?
