The two Soul Douluo struggled painfully. Although their opponent was a Soul Saint with a full set of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings, they initially believed that by joining forces, they should be able to contend, especially as it was only support.
But to their surprise, the support could use poison, and such a terrifying poison at that. Even Qiao Bilian, who was also a Soul Saint, was directly poisoned to death. It was too dreadful—what kind of Soul Beast did this Soul Skill come from?
"Damn it!"
The two Soul Douluo, severely injured, tried to escape, but the speed Ye Yu displayed left them unable to react as a punch landed.
"Eighth Soul Skill!! Armor of Invulnerability!"
The two immediately used their strongest Defensive Soul Skill.
This Defensive Soul Skill can defend against any physical attack from a Soul Douluo level and below once.
Meanwhile, they used other Soul Techniques, with each Soul Ring shining as the poison gradually dissipated.
Clearly, they possessed poison-resistant Soul Skills.
Ye Yu was not surprised; after all, they were Soul Douluo, and Defensive Type at that. Only relying on the Fourth Soul Skill would be difficult to resolve them.
The punch landed on the two, and the Armor of Invulnerability canceled out the attack, while they believed they seized the opportunity.
The two Soul Douluo shouted in unison: "Armor Binding!"
Suddenly, each grabbed Ye Yu's arms, and vines-like armor spread, tightly wrapping Ye Yu's arms, and in the blink of an eye enveloped his entire body.
Having Ye Yu fully bound in armor made them think they had a chance to kill Ye Yu.
Huo Yuhao and the others prepared to act at any moment. After all, they were two Soul Douluos—even though they were just over the eightieth level, they were still Soul Douluos, not easily resolvable.
Ye Ran confidently said: "No need to help. Boss Yu can easily handle them. Their full effort only delays a few seconds before heading to hell."
"True Martial Soul, Armor Fusion!"
Suddenly, the two's bodies became massive, every part wrapped in armor like giant mechanical robots, their fists like heavy hammers fiercely striking the bound Ye Yu.
Ye Yu had no intention of breaking free from the binding, thinking to himself: "They don't understand me."
Boom!!
The two Soul Douluo attacked with full power, thinking, in the next moment, Ye Yu would become minced flesh, but...
"Puff!!"
"Ah..."
Two cries of agony; what shocked Huo Yuhao and the others was that flying away unexpectedly were the two Soul Douluo, spewing fresh blood.
Xu Sanshi asked in bewilderment: "They attacked Boss Yu, and Boss Yu didn't counterattack; why are they injured?"
After the two Soul Douluo fell, they were entirely confused and directly breathed their last, dying with unfulfilled wishes.
The earlier poison injury had severely wounded them, so the heavy blow was unbearable.
Ye Yu exerted strength, breaking free from the bondage as the armor shattered.
Ye Yu said: "Curious why they died while I remained unscathed?"
"Yes, extremely curious, Boss Yu indeed remained unscathed."
Ye Yu smiled: "Because my Soul Skills incude Reflective Damage."
Suddenly, light sparked in Xu Sanshi and the others' eyes, understanding.
No wonder Ye Yu was unscathed while the two Soul Douluo flew out—reflective damage indeed, so strong.
The brief confrontation revealed Ye Yu's capability to fight, endure, and reflect damage, which was immensely powerful.
Moreover, Ye Yu's Nine Spirits Divine Begonia, a mutation of the Nine-Hearted Begonia, undoubtedly contained Healing Soul Skills, making it even more fearsome.
Capable of fighting, enduring, reflecting damage, healing—it's...unbreakable...
Unless a Soul Master possessed skills to ignore defense, it would be too difficult to harm Ye Yu.
Of course, even if such terrifying Soul Skills existed, it would be challenging to resolve Ye Yu, given his robust life energy, or rather, high health.
Huo Yuhao realized the difference; facing such a lineup, even with Spiritual Gaze, Ice Scorpion, and Necromancy Holy Law God, it couldn't be resolved in such a short time.
Defeating all would be impossible.
If they were Strong Attack Type and fought to the death, perhaps it could happen, but facing all Defense Types...
"Certainly, Boss Yu is incredibly powerful," Xu Sanshi exclaimed.
Later, Ye Yu and the others continued their journey.
At dusk, Ye Yu and the others arrived at Ming Capital.
Huo Yuhao, Caitou, Dong'Er, Ye Ran all had stayed in Ming Capital before.
Except for Wang Dong'Er, the other three had studied in Ming Capital previously; Wang Dong'Er had come before to look for Ye Ran.
Thus, Xu Sanshi, Beibei, Xiaoxiao, Jiang Nannan were amazed and stared in awe at Ming Capital.
Ming Capital, as the capital of the Sun-Moon Empire, had no city walls, yet was the top city on the continent; they comprehended this.
Because here stood numerous tall buildings, exuding technological vibes, impossible to compare with other imperial capitals, entirely different in style.
Ye Yu, of course, wasn't surprised, being a traveler from another world, accustomed to seeing high-tech skyscrapers.
Ming Capital's skyscraper prosperity was at most akin to a third-tier city in his past life.
Xu Sanshi and the others stared determinedly, realizing their understanding of the Sun-Moon Empire was broader than imagined.
The might of the Sun-Moon Empire's Soul Mentors was unknown.
Ye Yu also wished to see how powerful a Ninth-level Soul Mentor could be.
Back ten thousand years ago, fought against many Titled Douluo; a Ninth-level Soul Mentor's strength was equivalent to a Titled Douluo, or even surpassed them, thus the Apocalypse Holy Trial brought him here—restricted yet not dull.
The current Douluo Continent still contained novel things, challenging endlessly.
Now that he wasn't invincible, he had the motivation to improve. Training and danger could inspire oneself.
Entering Ming Capital, Ye Yu and the others registered, representing Tang Sect in the competition.
Since attending the previous tournament, compared to the former Xingluo City of Xingluo Empire, now there were more people—packed with crowds.
After registering, Ye Yu and the others arrived at a luxurious eight-story hotel in the center of Ming Capital called Ming Capital Hotel.
Upon entering, the style was mechanical, decorated novelly, resembling Soul-guiding Devices, evoking an urge to touch and study.
Xu Sanshi asked doubtfully: "Boss Yu, have you been to Ming Capital?"
Ye Yu shook his head: "No."
"Oh, looking at Boss Yu so calm, I thought he had been here. Seems I need to restrain myself. Otherwise, others might think I'm a country bumpkin unfamiliar with the world."
At that moment, a tall, beautiful girl approached, wearing a white long dress reaching her calves.
Although dressed in a gown, her chest stood prominently, a jade belt at her waist outlined a slender, reed-like waist.
With beauty and a good figure, possessing a noble, elegant air, a face adorned with a gentle smile, graceful and tranquil.
Ye Yu could discern she definitely wasn't a server.
Huo Yuhao and the others were equally curious about who she was and why she approached deliberately.
The girl briefly fixed her gaze on Huo Yuhao and then switched to Ye Ran, revealing admiration before settling on Ye Yu.
Her eyes shimmered with surprise, filled with intense interest.
Ye Yu naturally noticed and thought to himself, "Regardless of this era, my luck in romance remains strong, doesn't it? She seems very interested in me."
(Recommended a good book: "Douluo: The Great Dominator," doesn't flatter Tang San, doesn't worship the Master.)
