Chapter 17 The Most Beautiful Woman on the Continent, the Goddess of Light Butterfly
[Mission: Xuanming Shield Breaker]
Mission Description: You have clashed with Xu Sanshi, the successor of the Xuanming Sect. Defeat Xu Sanshi!
After registering for Battle Soul in the Battle Soul area, Wang Dong'er's panel displayed a new task.
Since we're just killing time anyway, we might as well trick Xu Sanshi again.
So Wang Dong'er provoked Xu Sanshi once again, provoking him to make a bet.
The Mysterious Water Pill is not a Soul-Enhancing Pill that can only be taken once; it can be used multiple times, but only the first use will have the best enhancement effect.
Although the Xuan Shui Dan became less and less effective with repeated use, Wang Dong'er could share it with those who followed her or trade it with others to gain profit.
For example, give one to Xiao Xiao, so she won't be thinking about adding a soul ring to her second martial soul in advance.
"I also have a Mystic Water Pill. If I lose, I'll give you this one; if you lose, you give me one. How about it, are you in?"
In the Soul Fighting Restroom, Xu Sanshi laughed heartily, "I didn't expect someone would actually come to deliver something to me. For the sake of the Profound Water Pill, I can go easy on them."
"Both sides prepare to step onto the Soul Arena." The referee's voice came from outside the lounge, and Xu Sanshi was the first to step out.
Inside the arena, Xu Sanshi and Wang Dong'er stood on either side.
The referee walked to the center of the field, looked around, and said in a deep voice, "Freshman Wang Dong'er challenges fifth-grader Xu Sanshi. The bet has been agreed upon privately by both parties. The conditions for victory are that neither party may use any soul skills other than their first soul ring. The loser is either who concedes defeat or falls to the ground and leaves the field."
"Since this Soul Battle is a challenge against a higher-level opponent, if Xu Sanshi loses, he will have to pay Wang Dong'er an additional ten Gold Soul Coins. Are both of you ready now?"
Wang Dong'er was about to nod when she suddenly felt a mental fluctuation. She turned her head to look at the audience and immediately spotted Tang Ya, Bei Bei, Xiao Xiao, and Huo Yuhao sitting there.
This Huo Yuhao... they're not even that close yet, and he's already sharing his mind? He must have gotten confused from eating too much grilled fish.
Rejecting this mental fluctuation, Wang Dong'er immediately said, "I'm ready."
At this moment, hundreds of spectators had gathered in the entire arena.
The reason is simple: the idea of a freshman challenging a fifth-year student is simply too unbelievable, and it's probably the first time such a thing has ever happened in the entire history of Shrek Academy.
Many people wanted to see which freshman was so awesome that he dared to challenge the fifth-year students.
Although they had heard that there were strict restrictions on the competition, they couldn't help but marvel at how daring Wang Dong'er was.
Even if he only uses the soul skill of his first soul ring, Xu Sanshi is still a fifth-year student, whose soul power level is far superior to Wang Dong'er's. His soul power is much stronger than Wang Dong'er's, and he would probably exhaust Wang Dong'er just by using his soul power.
Moreover, Xu Sanshi also has the title of having the strongest defense in the outer courtyard, which is no empty title. There are very few people of the same level who can break through Xu Sanshi's defense.
The outcome of this battle of spirits seemed to have been predetermined from the very beginning.
In the audience, Huo Yuhao let out a soft exclamation.
"What's wrong?" Tang Ya asked with concern.
"Ah, I just wanted to use my Spirit Detection Sharing ability to help Wang Dong'er, but she refused." Huo Yuhao said without thinking, not realizing that he hadn't even told Wang Dong'er about his martial soul and soul skills.
"Dong'er... she probably disdains cheating in this way, right?" Xiao Xiao guessed.
"Ahem." Bei Bei coughed. He was about to say that if it were him on stage, he definitely wouldn't refuse, but before he could say it, he was choked by Xiao Xiao's words.
On the battle stage, after seeing that Wang Dong'er and Xu Sanshi were ready, the referee immediately announced, "The match begins!"
As the referee retreated, Wang Dong'er and Xu Sanshi on both sides of the fighting arena released their martial spirits at the same time.
As the martial spirit was released, gasps of surprise echoed across the arena.
Xiao Xiao and the others stared in disbelief at the Soul Battle Arena.
Even the referee, who had already retreated, and Xu Sanshi, his opponent, were momentarily stunned.
Xu Sanshi's skin, which was originally quite fair, became dull after the release of his martial soul. His muscles also began to swell, making his school uniform look tight and much larger than before.
Three spirit rings, yellow, yellow, and purple, rose from beneath Xu Sanshi's feet, and a huge black tortoise-shell shield appeared in his right hand at some unknown time.
But compared to Xu Sanshi's transformation, Wang Dong'er's was far more glamorous.
A pair of blue butterfly wings unfolded from behind Wang Dong'er, with the two ends of the forewings constantly changing from dark blue to azure to light blue, like crushed aurora spread on a thin veil.
The entire wing surface resembled a string of V-shaped, dazzling stars embedded in a blue sky, or white waves surging on a vast blue sea, as if the word "beauty" was created just for Wang Dong'er at this moment.
Both its shape and color are impeccably beautiful.
(The image above shows the prototype of the Goddess of Light Butterfly Martial Soul: the Goddess of Light Morpho Butterfly. More details are provided in the author's note at the end of the chapter.)
"Dong'er...so beautiful." Xiao Xiao in the audience couldn't help but exclaim.
"What kind of martial soul is this?" Looking at Wang Dong'er's pair of butterfly wings, Tang Ya asked Bei Bei out of curiosity.
"I don't know either." Beibei shook her head. "Let's ask her when she gets back."
Suddenly, a spectator exclaimed, "Isn't she a freshman? How come she has two spirit rings?"
"Her second spirit ring is a thousand-year spirit ring? How is that possible?"
This immediately shifted everyone's attention from Wang Dong'er's martial soul to her soul ring.
Indeed, as the audience member said, Wang Dong'er's spirit rings were indeed one yellow and one purple.
This almost shattered the understanding of the Soul Master community.
Yu Xiaogang, one of the founders of Shrek Academy, once wrote "The Ten Core Competencies of Martial Souls," which contains theories about the time limit for Soul Masters to absorb Soul Rings.
According to that master's theory, a Soul Master's first Soul Ring can only withstand a maximum duration of 423 years, while the maximum duration of the second Soul Ring is 764 years.
But if Master Yu Xiaogang's theory is true, then what about Wang Dong'er in front of us?
On the battle arena, Xu Sanshi was somewhat surprised, "No wonder you dared to challenge me, you're no ordinary genius after all."
"But unfortunately, you have restricted yourself. You have a second soul ring of the thousand-year level, but you can't use soul skills."
In response to Xu Sanshi, Wang Dong'er's first spirit ring shone brightly.
With the infusion of soul power, the two sides of Wang Dong'er's Bright Goddess Butterfly Martial Soul's forewings seemed to be inlaid with a golden edge, gleaming with a sharp light, like two long swords.
First Soul Skill: Winged Guillotine.
P.S.: The prototype of the Goddess of Light Butterfly Martial Soul is the Goddess of Light Morpho Butterfly.
Also known as the Helena Morpho butterfly or the Blue Danube butterfly, it is hailed as the most beautiful butterfly in the world, with wings that can glow and change color. This butterfly is virtually extinct in the wild and is protected through artificial breeding.
The original text of Douluo Continent II describes the extinction of the Light Goddess Butterfly martial soul as follows: "My martial soul is the Light Goddess Butterfly, the most beautiful butterfly on the continent, which is now on the verge of extinction. Having it as your martial soul is even rarer than your original martial soul."
