Lin Yun observed the Star's Protection turtle shell that Xu Jiujiu had created from a distance. The bright, shimmering starlight on the shield was incredibly luxurious and beautiful.
It didn't look very thick, but in reality, its defensive strength was ridiculously high.
If one didn't look for weaknesses and just tried to break through it with brute force, it would require at least a Soul Douluo-level attack to break it in one go.
After all, this thing was accumulated by Xu Jiujiu over a full twenty-four days. Let alone a genius Soul King with a top-tier martial soul like Xu Jiujiu, even an ordinary Soul King who had accumulated soul power for twenty-four nights would be enough to give a Soul Saint a headache.
After a brief thought, an ice-blue and a crimson flash appeared on Lin Yun's left and right arms, respectively.
Huo Yuhao's method of dealing with this thing was to first weaken it with Golden Path and then use Emperor's Hammer to break it at a single point. Lin Yun didn't have a way to weaken Star's Protection, but the mutual generation and restraint of ice and fire power could also inflict a great deal of damage on Star's Protection.
He, Lin Yun, also had shield-breaking capabilities.
Thinking this, Lin Yun squatted slightly, then leaped up abruptly. His golden dragon claws on both arms instantly turned blue-gold on the left and crimson-gold on the right. Extreme cold and high temperatures continuously intertwined, causing the air above the arena to constantly crackle.
Not only that, the most direct sensation brought by the collision of extreme ice and fire was a sudden gale that swept across the arena, obstructing everyone's view.
This was also one of Lin Yun's goals.
As long as the vision was obscured, he could break through Star's Protection directly from an unexpected position.
The thick and vast soul power within his body continuously surged into the Ice-Fire Dragon King Soul Bones. At this moment, the benefits of the Ice-Fire Dragon King Soul Bones became apparent. Although these two god-level soul bones didn't grant him additional soul skills, they merely allowed Lin Yun to control extreme-level ice and fire elements.
But as long as Lin Yun's imagination was wild enough, he could replicate almost all ice and fire attribute soul skills!
And this move, Lin Yun called it:
Ice-Fire Divine Dragon Dance!
One red and one blue dragon-shaped phantom gradually appeared on Lin Yun's arms, then circled around his body. The extremely condensed ice and fire power continuously spread with the silent roars of the two dragon-shaped phantoms.
Charging up, then punching!
A dragon head appeared on each of Lin Yun's fists. His punches were accompanied by deafening dragon roars. After two punches, the spiral beams of ice and fire intertwined, attacking Star's Protection.
Then, the next second, Xu Jiujiu, within the protective range of Star's Protection, lifted her red lips into an expected smile.
Even before the match began, Xu Jiujiu had already made preparations. Facing the powerful Lin Yun, it was impossible for her to not have any counter-measures.
Coincidentally, the eighth-level disposable soul tool, Absolute Defense, from the original work, was one of Xu Jiujiu's trump cards against Lin Yun.
It's true that your attack power is strong, but no matter how strong you are, you're still just a Soul King. If I pull out an eighth-level defensive soul tool equivalent to a Soul Douluo, how will you respond?
Now, it's time to pay to win!
Xu Jiujiu's delicate hand gently caressed the sapphire chain around her waist, taking out a palm-sized metal disc. Then, at the instant Lin Yun attacked, she threw out the disc.
This disc was the main body of the eighth-level soul tool, Absolute Defense. While called a defensive soul tool, it was actually more like a containment soul tool, because its defense was internal. Its external defense was even inferior to most seventh-level soul tools.
But it was precisely because of this flaw that its internal defense was even more solid and powerful.
Xu Jiujiu chose her timing perfectly. Just as Lin Yun threw his punches, and before the ice-fire spiral pillars had even traveled far, Absolute Defense trapped Lin Yun and the Ice-Fire Divine Dragon Dance attack within its barrier.
Then...
Boom!!!
The terrifying impact caused by the mutual restraint of ice and fire exploded completely within the barrier.
The terrifying ultimate soul power made this Absolute Defense soul tool look like a clown, instantly shattering into pieces by the terrifying explosion.
And because the barrier compressed the explosion, after the shield was shattered, the second explosion that occurred directly "took off," though this "taking off" referred to the other people in the arena.
Aside from Ma Xiaotao, the other five girls from the Shrek team were directly swept away by the shockwave.
Fortunately, Lin Yun had flown quite high, and the impact of the explosion was merely an impact; it didn't cause them much harm.
But being eliminated was definitely unavoidable.
Immediately afterward, Lin Yun, shining golden all over, fell from the sky.
Man! What can I say!
He crashed!
"Holy cow!" Lin Yun made a superhero-style landing. The upper half of his clothes had vanished, revealing his firm and muscular physique, while his pants were tattered. If he hadn't protected himself with soul power, he'd probably be streaking naked right now.
However, with his Indestructible Golden Body protection, Lin Yun suffered no injuries; he merely looked a bit disheveled.
"Are you alright?" Ma Xiaotao flapped her wings and flew next to Lin Yun, asking with concern.
Lin Yun looked down at his disheveled appearance and awkwardly coughed twice.
"I'm fine, just a little careless. I didn't expect Xu Jiujiu to have such sharp insight in seizing opportunities."
He was indeed a bit overconfident. He had been sweeping through everything so far, and basically no one could withstand his second punch. It would be false to say Lin Yun didn't feel a sense of superiority.
Furthermore, before he attacked, he had clearly used the gale formed by the intertwining ice and fire to obstruct the view below the arena. So why was Xu Jiujiu able to accurately grasp the timing of his attack?
Lin Yun was extremely curious.
But this experience also sounded an alarm in his heart. Indeed, with Ice Empress protecting him closely and his own strength capable of crushing all peers on the Douluo Continent, his solid foundation had somewhat distorted his mindset.
It wasn't quite looking down on everyone, but it was close, and this mindset was definitely unacceptable.
Previously, he had thought that if he transmigrated to another world, arrogance and recklessness would be a prelude to demise, so he had to be cautious and low-key. But in this "floor tile" world of Douluo Continent, it wouldn't matter how arrogant he was.
However, the recent crashing experience told him that even in this "floor tile" world of Douluo Continent, he could still be ambushed.
'Be cautious, calm down, never underestimate anyone!'
Heaven knows, Lin Yun almost became Xuan Zi's second playthrough.
Looking up at Xu Jiujiu, who had a relaxed smile on her face, Lin Yun's eyes narrowed slightly. He casually took out a piece of clothing from his storage soul tool and put it on, then raised his hand to gently touch his forehead.
"Step back, I'm getting serious!"
