Boom, boom, boom!
The row of stone pillars behind him was instantly corroded until they were riddled with holes, emitting a terrifying sizzling sound.
"This... this is impossible!" Dugu Bo scrambled up from the ground, his face full of disbelief.
This simply didn't make sense!
That wasn't a soul skill! That was a Law!
Li Yifei looked at his pathetic state and spoke calmly, "Your attack path is too straight; it's very easy to predict."
[Little Fox Demon: Pfft... adding insult to injury! Is Big Boss Yi Fei giving a live lesson right now?]
[Little Ice Cube: He is... learning and mastering this ability in the middle of combat... what terrifying adaptability.]
Dugu Bo was so angry that his whole body trembled.
He, the dignified Poison Douluo, was actually being lectured by a one-ring Spirit Master?
"This old man doesn't believe in this heresy!"
He changed his strategy, his figure moving at high speed as he circled Li Yifei, simultaneously firing poisonous mist from various tricky angles.
"Let's see how you defend now!"
This time, the attacks were no longer in a straight line but curved, closing in from all directions.
Li Yifei still stood in place, even closing his eyes.
He simply spread out his mental force, perceiving the trajectory of every single attack.
Then, he extended his index finger and casually drew a few circles in front of him.
The next second, a scene occurred that Dugu Bo would never forget for the rest of his life.
The poisonous mists firing from all directions were all captured and guided by an invisible force the moment they came within a one-meter radius of Li Yifei, converging into an even thicker, more terrifying emerald-green torrent!
Then, under his will, this torrent—like a living poisonous Dragon—precisely locked onto the high-speed moving Dugu Bo and smashed down upon his head!
"Not good!"
Dugu Bo's soul almost left his body in fright; without a second thought, he tried to dodge to the side.
But the instant he exerted force, he felt the space around him suddenly sink, becoming incredibly viscous!
His body's movements were forcibly delayed by 0.1 seconds!
Spatial Lock!
When experts clash, 0.1 seconds is already the difference between life and death!
Poof!
The poisonous Dragon, formed by his own converged attacks, slammed solidly into his protective spirit power.
Dugu Bo gave a muffled groan as he was sent flying, crashing into the wall before barely coming to a stop. Although he wasn't injured, he looked pathetic in the extreme.
[Worlds Number One Princess:... (Already gone crazy)]
[Is Jade Not Jade: He controlled him! He actually controlled him! Then he used the man's own skills to hit him! What kind of demonic operation is this?!]
[Bunny is So Cute: Brother Yi Fei is so amazing!]
[Ghost Cat:...Unbeatable.]
Dugu Bo leaned against the wall, gasping for breath. The way he looked at Li Yifei was no longer with alarm, but with complete dread.
Long-range attacks were completely useless!
The power he sent out would only be utilized by the opponent to become a weapon against himself!
The only way...
"Yaahhhh!"
Dugu Bo roared, abandoning all long-range attacks.
The spirit rings beneath his feet shone brilliantly as emerald-green spirit power covered his entire body, turning him into a green shadow that lunged fiercely at Li Yifei!
Melee combat! He was going to use a Titled Douluo's Physical Body strength to crush this level-one Spirit Master!
However, the moment his sharp claws were about to touch the corner of Li Yifei's clothes.
Li Yifei's figure vanished.
The next second, he appeared ten meters away, still maintaining that calm and composed manner.
Spatial Teleportation!
Dugu Bo spun around and lunged again!
Vanish.
Appear.
Lunge again!
Vanish again!
In the entire secret chamber, only Dugu Bo's exasperated roars and his pathetic figure fruitlessly chasing an illusion remained.
He felt like a monkey being toyed with; no matter what he did, he couldn't touch the opponent at all.
[Worlds Number One Princess: Hahahahahaha! Kite-flying! No, this is kite-flying a Titled Douluo!]
[Is Jade Not Jade: Feeling sorry for Poison Douluo for a second, then laughing like a pig! Hahahaha!]
Just as Poison Douluo was about to have a brain hemorrhage from anger, Li Yifei suddenly stopped and raised a hand.
Dugu Bo slammed on the brakes, staring at him intently with every muscle tensed, preparing for the next round of being toyed with.
Li Yifei, however, shook his head with a calm face.
"Not fighting anymore."
"Out of spirit power."
These four words were spoken lightly, yet they were more lethal than any Divine Rank Spirit or any golden spirit ring from before.
Dugu Bo froze on the spot, his mind going completely blank.
What had he just experienced?
He was toyed with like a ball by a one-ring Spirit Master who had just had his Awakening, using the very poison techniques he was most proud of.
He was led around in circles by spatial Laws, unable to even touch the corner of the other's clothes.
He had burned his spirit power, bet his dignity as a Titled Douluo, and launched a desperate charge!
And the result?
The opponent waved his hand dismissively and said he wasn't fighting anymore.
The reason wasn't that he was too strong, nor was it the opponent's mercy.
It was... he ran out of mana?
Pfft—
A surge of blood rushed to his head; Dugu Bo couldn't hold on any longer. A sweet taste filled his throat, and his whole body swayed.
It wasn't an injury; it was pure rage.
It was an insult! It was absurd!
He felt like he wasn't a Titled Douluo, but a fool who had been fighting a three-year-old at the village entrance, only for the child to get tired and say, "This is boring, I'm going home to eat!"
What a supreme humiliation!
"Grandpa!"
Dugu Yan cried out in alarm, quickly supporting the tottering Dugu Bo.
Her livestream camera also shook violently along with her, clearly presenting Dugu Bo's colorful old face—turning from green to white, and white to purple—to all the group members.
In the Chat Group, after a brief moment of dead silence, it instantly exploded.
[Worlds Number One Princess: Hahahahahahahaha! I can't take it! Help! Out of spirit power! This is the funniest joke I've heard all year!]
Ning Rongrong directly sent a string of emojis showing someone laughing so hard they were pounding the floor.
[Is Jade Not Jade: Adding insult to injury! Purely adding insult to injury! Poison Douluo risked his old life, and in the end, Little Brother Yi Fei was just clearing his stamina bar?]
Liu Erlong laughed so hard she trembled.
[Bunny is So Cute: So... Brother Yi Fei wasn't even fighting seriously? He was just testing his skills? Then... then that old grandpa is so pitiful.]
[Little Ice Cube: For a one-ring Spirit Master's spirit power... to support that level of spatial soul skill for so long is already incredible. What I care more about is that he said "out of spirit power," not "can't win."]
Shui Binger's analysis caused the laughter in the group to pause.
That's right.
He just ran out of mana; he didn't lose.
What if his spirit power were at the Titled Douluo level?
Then Dugu Bo probably wouldn't even have a chance to be standing today!
At the thought of this possibility, all the girls felt their scalps go numb.
As if sensing the confusion in the group, Li Yifei sent a message in the group while leisurely stretching his wrists.
[Li Yifei: Don't misunderstand, my spirit power really is just at the level of a one-ring Spirit Master. Maybe a bit more than a normal Spirit Master, but not by much.]
[Li Yifei: It's mainly that my physical attributes are too strong and my reaction speed is fast enough, so fighting is relatively easy.]
