Douluo: Transforming Xiao Wu into a Zerg Queen Was Just the Beginning-Chapter 82 - 83 – I Am Huo Yuhao

Lin Fan gazed at the serious and battle-ready Thornpuffer Douluo before him. His own expression softened slightly, a trace of respect surfacing in his eyes.

No matter the affiliation, anyone who pursued strength with unwavering resolve deserved respect.

A blood-red light flickered briefly in Lin Fan's eyes as he calmly said,

"I am Huo Yuhao. Rank 79 Assault-Type Soul Saint. You'd best be careful."

"What?!"

The crowd exploded in a cacophony of disbelief.

Even Thornpuffer Douluo's face twitched slightly.

Though he had already prepared himself mentally, hearing Lin Fan confirm with his own mouth that he was truly a Soul Saint still made his heart curse inwardly:

What a monster.

A talent like this becoming a Title Douluo was no longer a matter of if, but when.

Especially considering those seven crimson 100,000-year soul rings behind him.

This youth's future was limitless.

With a roar, Thornpuffer Douluo's stocky body surged with soul power, his fighting spirit ignited.

Even so, he didn't believe Lin Fan could defeat him.

Most genius soul masters could, at best, fight across one rank. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

To leap two whole major levels—and against a Title Douluo?

That was unheard of. It defied common sense.

Becoming a Title Douluo wasn't just a rank—it was a rebirth.

Below the Title Douluo realm, all were mere ants. Without reaching that level, even the most talented were ultimately insignificant.

Take Ning Fengzhi, for example. Despite founding one of the Upper Three Sects with his unparalleled support-type martial soul, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, his own combat power had always been criticized.

Everywhere he went, he needed his sect's elders to guard him. Without them, the sect would have long been devoured by envious powers.

In this world, strength ruled all.

And the weight of a Title Douluo's power far surpassed ordinary means.

Buzz—

The fourth soul ring behind Thornpuffer Douluo lit up with a radiant purple glow.

A crimson light descended onto him like a divine baptism, causing his already rotund figure to swell further. His aura surged, growing even more oppressive.

"Interesting," Lin Fan murmured, eyes narrowing. "A buff-type soul skill?"

He chuckled and added, "You're not the only one with augmentation skills."

HUMMMM—!

Behind Lin Fan, his second crimson 100,000-year soul ring burst into light.

"Dominion Aura – Empowerment."

Vooooom!!!

A deep red aura erupted from Lin Fan's body, expanding outward like a tidal wave for hundreds of meters before fading.

The aura swept over the entire crowd—and Thornpuffer Douluo.

The elder immediately checked himself. After all, many soul skills carried hidden debuffs.

But after a moment of careful inspection, he sighed in relief.

No negative effects. Which meant—this was a self-enhancement.

He looked back at Lin Fan—and was shocked to see the youth's aura rising again.

He had broken through the Soul Douluo threshold.

On the surface, Lin Fan's spirit power now fully matched that of a Soul Douluo!

Thornpuffer Douluo's expression turned grim. He activated his sixth black soul ring.

"Leap of the Dragonfish!"

BOOM!

Behind him, the blood-colored Thornpuffer roared to life, inflating dramatically like a balloon on the verge of bursting.

Rippling waves of pressure surged from its body. Its aura grew denser and denser.

Splashhh—!

Even in the air, illusory sounds of crashing waves echoed in the ears of the crowd.

The Thornpuffer's body now loomed enormous, its terrifying eyes locked onto Lin Fan like a beast preparing to strike.

CRASH!

With a roar, the massive Thornpuffer launched itself like a cannonball, soaring high into the sky—then came crashing down toward Lin Fan like a meteor.

It wasn't just fast—it tore through the air with a screech, shrieking across the battlefield.

AOOOOHHH!!!

A draconic roar accompanied the descent, creating a spiritual shockwave that targeted Lin Fan's mind.

Apparently, this attack also carried a psychological component.

But Lin Fan remained completely still, his expression unshaken.

He simply raised his arms in front of his chest and crossed them—now coated in a thick layer of crimson soul energy.

The next moment—

BOOM!!!

The Thornpuffer slammed directly into Lin Fan's body!

A deep crimson mist exploded outward in a shockwave, enveloping the entire street.

KABOOOOM!!!

The thunderous crash and blast of power rang in everyone's ears like an earthquake.

Silence followed.

A silence so deep it was almost oppressive.

Even Thornpuffer Douluo frowned.

The mist had obscured everything.

He couldn't sense the boy's presence anymore.

"What's going on? Why's it so quiet?"

"I... I don't know. Do you think that Huo Yuhao guy just died trying to show off?"

"Wouldn't surprise me. That attack from Elder Thornpuffer was vicious. He didn't even use a soul skill to defend—he must be crippled at the very least!"

To the average onlooker, Lin Fan blocking such an attack with just his arms seemed suicidal.

Even soul masters of the same level wouldn't have dared do that.

Let alone someone two major levels weaker.

What Lin Fan had done... looked exactly like asking for death.

However, Bibi Dong and the other Spirit Hall elders were frowning deeply, probing the crimson mist with their vast spiritual senses.

This situation... was far from simple.

Ssssskrrrk!!

A strange sound suddenly rang in Thornpuffer Douluo's ears, and every hair on his body stood up instantly.

Danger!

The elder's instincts screamed at him—his temples throbbed wildly as his nerves surged with warnings.

But... he was too late.

BOOOOOOM!!!

A blinding explosion erupted from directly beneath him!

The ground shattered.

The once-solid pavement made of soul-forged stone was pulverized.

A massive crimson pillar of light surged upward, completely engulfing Thornpuffer Douluo!

At the same time, the thick red mist that had blanketed the street was suddenly swept away.

The crowd watched in absolute horror.

Frozen in place, they stared wide-eyed at the devastating beam of energy that had just consumed a Title Douluo whole.
