11: Chapter 11 Su Ling's Ultimate Skill: A Decisive Victory
Amidst the cheers, Su Ling and his opponent for this Douhun, Pang Yun, walked onto the Douhun Arena together.
The cheers were almost entirely for Pang Yun; after all, he had already won eleven consecutive matches.
Su Ling's previous record was dismal, and his popularity was almost zero.
Under these circumstances, countless people placed bets on Pang Yun to win at the betting counters outside, and many even wagered their entire fortunes.
Pang Yun didn't look very old, probably around twenty-four or twenty-five.
"You have already reached level forty, yet you haven't gone to find a spirit ring. It seems you want to use your Soul Power advantage to win a few more matches at the Spirit Elder level. However, you are destined to fail since you have met me."
Su Ling said, "That's not necessarily true."
"Activate Spirit!"
As soon as the host finished speaking, Pang Yun immediately released his Spirit.
With his Spirit possessed, one could see red flames emanating from his body; it was another tiger-type Spirit.
"Red Flame Tiger?" Su Ling whispered, and as he spoke, he also released his Spirit, gripping the Water Moon Bow in his hand.
In the spectator area, Ma Hongjun saw the opponent's Spirit and seemed to recall something, saying, "I remember half a month ago, Second Brother Dai fought this guy and lost."
Dai Mubai was speechless. This Ma Hongjun really knew how to rub salt in the wound; did he have to bring up the fact that he was defeated?
"Pang Yun's Red Flame is extraordinary and has strong explosive power; even I find it hard to resist." Dai Mubai could only explain helplessly.
"Then won't Brother Su have a hard time winning?" Ning Rongrong felt a surge of joy upon hearing Dai Mubai say this, thinking to herself, "You hit me during the day, so you're going to get beaten up today too. Serves you right."
"The Douhun begins!" the host shouted, then immediately exited the arena.
The next instant, Pang Yun took the initiative and charged towards Su Ling.
Everyone knew that when dealing with a long-range Spirit Master, one must get close to fight them, and Pang Yun was no exception.
Just as Su Ling was about to counterattack, he saw that the charging Pang Yun had already prepared a Spirit Ability.
Two streams of red flames shot out from his arms, forming a wall of fire that blocked Su Ling on both sides.
Su Ling's left and right sides were blocked; retreating would mean falling off the Douhun Arena, advancing meant having to fight Pang Yun, or jumping into the air, but that would make him a living target for attacks from the side.
Concentrating his Soul Power, Su Ling instantly fired six arrows directly at Pang Yun.
Pang Yun had not expected Su Ling to be able to counterattack so quickly and fire six arrows in such a short amount of time.
One arrow would be easy to dodge, but dodging these six arrows was much more difficult.
This forced him to abandon his attack and focus entirely on dodging Su Ling's arrows.
However, Su Ling's arrows continued to rain down, momentarily stopping Pang Yun in his tracks. At this moment, Su Ling clearly had the upper hand.
"Your attacks have no effect on me, why waste your Soul Power? I want to see how long you can keep this up," Pang Yun mocked while dodging.
Su Ling's attacks were ordinary. Later, after dodging, Pang Yun also began to use his fists to shatter Su Ling's arrows, rather than just dodging blindly.
In fact, this was the limitation of Su Ling's Spirit; it was just too ordinary, and the attacks condensed with Soul Power were indeed not strong.
Seeing that Su Ling's attacks didn't pose much of a threat, Pang Yun activated his Spirit Ability again, shooting a basketball-sized ball of red flame towards Su Ling.
Su Ling also fired another arrow at that red fireball.
Just then, the red fireball suddenly split into a dozen fist-sized red fireballs, which quickly shot towards Su Ling at high speed.
"Oh no! Brother Su is in danger!" Xiao Wu exclaimed.
Just as the fireballs were closing in, Su Ling moved his body, quickly changing positions. The red fireballs kept passing by him, but surprisingly, none of them hit him.
Continuous booming sounds echoed as the fireballs exploded behind Su Ling.
"You… you actually dodged them all?" Pang Yun looked at Su Ling in surprise, unable to believe that Su Ling had managed to dodge, as this was his second Spirit Ability.
Originally, this Spirit Ability was just a massive fireball attack, but through his research, he had successfully made some changes to how he used his second Spirit Ability.
He had developed a new attacking state within the base stage of the Spirit Ability.
This move had never failed him; several powerful Spirit Elders had been defeated by this very move.
Even Dai Mubai, who was watching from the high platform, was no exception; he had been defeated by this same move of Pang Yun's.
The power of his red flames was extremely strong; thinking about it now still made him feel some lingering pain in his body.
Phew…
He had almost been hit by those fireballs just now. Once hit by a single fireball, several or even a dozen more would explode together.
If it had been before, Su Ling definitely wouldn't have been able to dodge it, but just this morning, while Ning Rongrong was jogging, he had been researching and cultivating the Carefree Travel.
By the afternoon, when everyone was resting, Su Ling was still studying the Carefree Travel movement technique.
He seemed very well-suited to this set of techniques, and surprisingly, he had mastered the basics of the Carefree Travel movement technique in just a few hours.
Relying on his newly acquired basic movement technique, Su Ling had successfully dodged the previous attack.
"Red Flame truly lives up to its reputation. Let's continue," Su Ling said.
The Red Flame Tiger can focus on power and fire attributes, or it can focus on just one of them.
It was clear that the opponent's first and second Spirit Abilities were primarily focused on explosive Red Flame attacks.
"Good, very good. You are the only one in my last five Douhun matches who has forced me to use my third Spirit Ability. I must get my twelfth consecutive win."
Red flames erupted from Pang Yun's body again. However, just at this moment, Su Ling raised his Water Moon Bow, still without using a Spirit Ability.
He simply condensed a single arrow.
But this arrow was different from before; it contained a small amount of Five Elements Soul Power condensed from within his body, and Su Ling's technique was also different.
The Water Moon Clan also had a Legacy, and the arrow he shot was actually rotating at high speed.
That's right, it was rotating.
Because the Water Moon Bow lacked offensive power, all the generations of the Water Moon Clan had researched for hundreds of years and developed archery techniques to enhance its power.
The Rotating Arrow was one of them, using the high-speed rotation of the fired arrow to unleash greater attack power and destructive force.
By using Five Elements Soul Power in the form of the Rotating Arrow, this shot appeared ordinary but hid immense power.
Pang Yun still thought that the arrow Su Ling fired was as ordinary as before, so naturally, he didn't care about it.
After all, Su Ling hadn't used a Spirit Ability at all, so naturally, he didn't take it to heart.
"Your attack can't break through the defense of my third Spirit Ability…"
Before he could finish his sentence, Su Ling's sharp arrow had already pierced through his body.
"Ho… how… is it possible? I…"
Su Ling had avoided Pang Yun's vital points; otherwise, this strike could have taken his life.
Pang Yun deactivated his Spirit. There was a bloody hole just below his shoulder; if it had been any lower, he would have lost his life.
Although this wasn't a life-or-death battle, accidental deaths in Douhun were normal; if someone died, they died.
"Do you want to continue?" Su Ling asked, looking at Pang Yun with a calm expression.
"I… I concede! Thank you for showing mercy," Pang Yun said.
Silence. The entire arena was silent. Pang Yun, who had won eleven consecutive matches, had actually lost. For a moment, many people found it hard to accept.
Especially those who had wagered their entire fortunes; some even shouted the words "match-fixing."
Not only these spectators, but even Flender, who was watching from the shadows, had an ugly expression on his face, as if he had lost thousands of gold coins.
He knew about this move of Su Ling's, but when did it become so powerful?
