Chapter 55: Collision

Chapter 55: Collision

The second soul ring glowed, and once again, it was the White Tiger Fierce Light Wave.

However, while Dai Yao's was a millennium soul skill, Dai Yaming's was merely a hundred-year soul skill.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the two identical white light waves collided.

The two waves of white light merged at the point of impact into a spherical shape, with energy constantly being injected into the ball by their respective soul skills.

To everyone's astonishment, the energy ball began slowly moving toward Dai Yaming.

"This millennium soul skill is indeed extraordinary. Despite the six-level soul power difference, its power is still much greater than Dai Yaming's second soul skill," Dai Yao thought with joy.

Seeing the energy ball slowly moving toward him, Dai Yaming's eyelids twitched uncontrollably, the destructive aura hitting him made his heart race.

"It can't go on like this," he decided.

As the light of his second soul ring gradually faded, without the White Tiger Fierce Light Wave continuously feeding energy into the ball, the energy ball sped rapidly toward Dai Yaming. In the blink of an eye, it enveloped him completely.

The light wave passed through Dai Yaming, but it didn't stop. It tore through the protective wall and created a massive hole. Pieces of rubble continuously fell from the hole.

Dai Yaming's supporters gasped in shock. After this attack, whether Dai Yaming could even survive was uncertain, let alone win the duel.

Zhu Zhu Yue anxiously scanned the battlefield, desperately searching for Dai Yaming.

Now, she regretted ever having made an enemy of Dai Yao. If only Dai Yaming had successfully allied with him back then, perhaps the position of captain of the Star Luo Royal Academy would have been his. This situation would never have arisen.

The Fifth Elder was shaken by Dai Yao's power. If Dai Yao defeated the second prince today, with time, he might even be able to defeat the First Prince.

A prince who rose up from the bottom to inherit the Star Luo Empire's throne would surely take the empire to new heights!

But would the First Prince give Dai Yao time? Would the Empress, behind the First Prince, allow Dai Yao to grow smoothly?

These thoughts filled the Fifth Elder's mind, and he sighed deeply.

Through the smoke, heavy footsteps gradually sounded.

"What's this?" Dai Yao squinted. He didn't believe that Dai Yaming could have escaped unharmed from his previous attack.

But as the smoke cleared, Dai Yaming appeared unharmed in front of everyone. His clothes were torn, and his face bore some injuries, but his aura remained as strong as ever—if anything, it seemed even stronger.

Especially his right arm, which was now glowing with a blue light.

The supporters of the second prince cheered in joy at his miraculous survival!

"How did he block my attack?" Dai Yao thought, noticing the glowing right arm. Then, he understood.

"This must be his soul bone. What a powerful soul bone skill! It completely blocked my White Tiger Fierce Light Wave."

"Rumor has it that you possess a precious soul bone. The skill that blocked my millennium soul skill just now must be from that soul bone, right?" Dai Yao pointed to Dai Yaming's right arm.

"Correct." Dai Yaming didn't hide it, having already exposed his secret in the previous battle.

He stretched out his right arm and said maliciously to Dai Yao, "The Three-thousand-year Right Arm Bone, Soul Bone Skill—Destruction Light."

To compete for the throne, the second prince's mother had spent a great deal of resources to acquire this soul bone for him. It could be said that her family had given everything to ensure his victory.

This battle was the same for him as it was for Dai Yao: he could only win, not lose.

Upon hearing the Three-thousand-year Right Arm Bone, Dai Yao's heart sank, realizing the gravity of the situation.

The age of the right arm bone was no small matter, and the soul bone skill was the worst kind Dai Yao had expected: a pure attack-type soul skill, immensely powerful. Only his millennium soul skill might be able to contend with it.

His greatest advantage, the millennium soul ring, had now been nullified by the second prince's soul bone. The situation was at a stalemate once again.

"It looks like the victor is already decided," Dai Wei Si said indifferently.

Though the battle had reached a standstill, continuing would only favor Dai Yaming.

The difference between them was not only in battle experience, but also in soul power.

Dai Yao's twenty-third-level soul power could not possibly compare to Dai Yaming's twenty-ninth-level soul power.

Earlier, the battle had been a contest of soul skills, which excluded the factor of battle experience. If the two fought without relying on soul skills, Dai Yao would likely lose quickly.

Dai Yaming removed his torn clothes, revealing his muscular physique. His eyes glowed with killing intent as he coldly said, "I admit, your talent is astonishing, but age will always be your weakness. Today, I will no longer give you any chances."

Dai Yao paid no attention to Dai Yaming's harsh words; verbal battles were pointless now.

He knew his disadvantage: battle experience was not his strength, so he had to play to his strengths and use soul skills as much as possible.

What happened next in the battle caught everyone by surprise.

Whenever the second prince attempted to engage Dai Yao in close combat, Dai Yao would always use his first soul skill, Eight Extremes Collapse. With the previous lesson in mind, Dai Yaming had no choice but to use White Tiger Shield to defend.

After each move, Dai Yao would immediately use Explosive Step to escape the battlefield, and the two would begin circling each other.

Once Dai Yao had charged enough energy, he would use Eight Extremes Collapse to attack again.

If one strike missed, he would immediately retreat, leaving Dai Yaming seething with rage.

After several exchanges, Dai Yaming could no longer bear it and used his soul bone skill to attack Dai Yao. Dai Yao wasn't polite either and activated his second soul skill to block the soul bone skill's attack.

The two remained locked in this deadlock, with Dai Yao refusing to engage in close combat unless he had a soul skill ready.

The change in the battlefield puzzled many spectators, who didn't understand why the battle had turned into this.

It was a bizarre chase, one attacking, the other fleeing.

"Just as I thought, a coward! He doesn't even dare face me directly," Zhu Zhu Yue fumed, glaring at Zhu Zhu Qing.

Hearing Zhu Zhu Yue's words, many noble soul masters couldn't help but twitch their mouths. If not for Dai Yaming's soul bone, the battle would clearly be one-sided.

Dai Yao would have dominated.

If an ordinary Soul Master had faced someone like Dai Yao, they would have been defeated long ago.

Zhu Zhu Qing ignored her sister's words. She pressed her lips tightly together and stared intently at the duel. Every time Dai Yao and Dai Yaming clashed with their soul skills, her heart tightened.

Using soul skills to duel, Dai Yao had indeed nullified Dai Yaming's advantage in battle experience. But what about soul power?

Each time Dai Yao used a soul skill, his soul power decreased.

At level twenty-three, how could Dai Yao compete with Dai Yaming's soul power at level twenty-nine?

As time passed, the situation on the battlefield became clearer to everyone: Dai Yao was slowly dying!

Once his soul power ran out, that would be the moment of his defeat!

The sinister smile on Dai Yaming's face grew stronger. Since Dai Yao wanted to duel with soul skills, he would oblige. As for soul power, he didn't believe Dai Yao could defeat him!

Everyone had little hope for Dai Yao now, but he himself wasn't worried.

The liquid soul power inside him surged!
