The intense cold condensed moisture in the air. Even the spirit power on Golden Crocodile Douluo's body froze into ice crystals, and his originally smoothly flowing spirit power instantly became sluggish. As for speed, it became even slower.
Meng Bei easily dodged Golden Crocodile Douluo's attack, then countered with an Ice Dragon's Breath that struck Golden Crocodile Douluo.
This spirit skill wasn't hunted from a spirit beast but derived from the Water Dragon King's source power. Therefore, regardless of the opponent, as long as their power wasn't higher than the Water Dragon King's, Ice Dragon's Breath could damage them.
Obviously, compared to the Water Dragon King, Golden Crocodile Douluo still had quite a large gap.
Therefore, when the Ice Dragon's Breath landed on him, it instantly began burning on Golden Crocodile Douluo's body.
Golden Crocodile Douluo initially didn't care, intending to use spirit power explosion to shake off this flame. However, to Golden Crocodile Douluo's surprise, his incomparably powerful spirit power explosion had no effect on the Ice Dragon's Breath flame.
Not only did the white flames not extinguish, but they became even stronger due to Golden Crocodile Douluo's spirit power infusion, instantly covering the entire Golden Crocodile King's body and burning fiercely.
Not far away, Qian Daoliu watched this move and nodded slightly:
"This move is quite similar to my Angel lineage's legendary Sacred Flame. However, legend says the Angel God's Sacred Flame burns the darkness in people's hearts, while this white flame seems to burn spirit power?"
Qian Daoliu speculated.
Beside him, Azure Luan Douluo said: "It's not that simple, Great Worshiper. Look - the soil on the ground also burns when it touches these white flames."
Hearing this, Qian Daoliu frowned slightly.
He secretly wondered:
"What kind of flame is this? Which deity does it come from?"
On the field, Golden Crocodile Douluo charged about wildly, rolling on the ground several times and trying many methods, but couldn't extinguish the flames on his body. Instead, the ground became covered with fire, making the blaze even fiercer.
Golden Crocodile Douluo's spirit power was being rapidly consumed by the flames. Although his abundant spirit power allowed him to remain composed for now, it wasn't hard to imagine that if this continued, once his spirit power was completely burned away, these flames would start burning Golden Crocodile Douluo's actual body.
Thinking of this, Golden Crocodile Douluo no longer dared hesitate.
He hadn't expected to be so easily forced to use this move by Meng Bei. The last time he used this move was when competing with that sword-wielding fellow.
But battles were often like this - without knowing the opponent's intelligence, one could easily suffer major losses.
Under everyone's gaze, Golden Crocodile Douluo's ninth spirit ring instantly lit up, its blood-red glow illuminating the entire field.
"Ninth Spirit Skill, Golden Crocodile Molting!"
The Golden Crocodile King on the field roared, its mouth opening to maximum width. The next moment, a black-red figure rapidly shot out from the Golden Crocodile King's mouth.
Golden Crocodile Molting - shedding the golden shell, removing all negative status effects, defense decreased by 50%, attack speed increased by 150%.
Such a simple and unadorned skill, yet a divine technique for saving one's life at critical moments.
The Golden Crocodile King was known for balanced offense and defense, but Golden Crocodile Molting went against the grain, sacrificing defensive capability for powerful attack and speed, playing a decisive role at critical moments.
Unfortunately, if this move was used in a life-or-death situation, the effect would be better. Using it now was somewhat wasteful.
After using Golden Crocodile Molting, the Golden Crocodile King no longer bore its golden appearance. Its outer skin became somewhat black-red, but its speed improved tremendously.
Meng Bei's eyes flashed. A massive crocodile tail swept across horizontally, unavoidable, instantly striking Meng Bei's chest.
Just one move.
The ice armor on Meng Bei's chest completely shattered. Meng Bei was instantly sent flying.
He suffered an extremely strong impact internally, his internal organs continuously trembling.
A mouthful of blood surged to his heart, but Meng Bei forcibly swallowed it back.
Looking at Golden Crocodile Douluo, a bloody wound also appeared on his crocodile tail.
The drastically increased speed and attack came at the cost of greatly weakened defense. The current Golden Crocodile King was in a state without scales - completely a damage-trading fighting style.
Seeing this, Meng Bei grinned wickedly.
Blood stained his teeth.
"Come on!"
Trading damage for damage - he wasn't afraid.
As his words fell, Golden Crocodile Douluo charged again at extreme speed.
Still incredibly fast, his form invisible.
"Titan Avalanche Cannon!"
The red spirit ring with two golden patterns blazed brilliantly.
Meng Bei's left and right hands both struck out, one punch upward, one punch forward, unleashing two earth-shaking attacks. The lingering force of the strong wind swept past, even flipping the roof of Spirit Hall's main building in the distance.
"Strong spirit skill, but unfortunately, you didn't hit!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo's sinister voice sounded behind Meng Bei.
The 150% speed increase was too terrifying. If Golden Crocodile Douluo's previous speed was 1, now it was 2.5. Such a tremendous boost meant that even if Meng Bei predicted Golden Crocodile Douluo's attack direction, he couldn't hit him.
Golden Crocodile Douluo changed direction mid-attack and came to Meng Bei's rear. Two massive crocodile claws directly slashed toward Meng Bei.
"Tearing Crocodile Claws."
Golden Crocodile Douluo laughed wickedly with confidence.
The next moment, four massive fists struck Golden Crocodile Douluo's crocodile head, crocodile eyes, crocodile face, and crocodile abdomen in succession.
"Titan Avalanche Cannon!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo's expression visibly transformed from shock to fear to terror.
Four unexpected Titan Avalanche Cannons solidly struck Golden Crocodile Douluo, causing his Spirit Avatar to instantly shatter.
His crocodile eyes were struck until they bulged out. His crocodile face was beaten into distortion. His crocodile abdomen was struck with a huge concave pit. Most terrifying was his crocodile head - struck directly on the forehead.
Massive spirit power exploded. Qian Daoliu, who had been observing the battle, changed expression and hurriedly released Angel God power to protect Golden Crocodile Douluo's forehead, preventing him from being killed by Meng Bei's single punch.
Originally, Qian Daoliu had been prepared to save Meng Bei at the critical moment. He never expected Golden Crocodile Douluo would be so useless, instead allowing Meng Bei to find an opening and nearly getting killed with one punch.
The Golden Crocodile King naturally wasn't this fragile, but after using Golden Crocodile Molting it was a different story.
Moreover, Golden Crocodile Douluo completely hadn't expected Meng Bei would suddenly grow four arms from behind.
What kind of decent person grows four extra arms!
And growing four extra arms was one thing, but simultaneously using four ten-thousand-year spirit skills - is this how ten-thousand-year spirit skills are used?
In fact, information about Meng Bei had long been placed on Qian Daoliu's desk. Even Golden Crocodile Douluo had read through it. But that thick stack of information - Golden Crocodile Douluo only read the first page before putting it down. If only Golden Crocodile Douluo had read a few more pages, he wouldn't have ended up in today's situation.
Four solid Titan Avalanche Cannons sent Golden Crocodile Douluo flying. Even with Qian Daoliu's protection at the critical moment, Golden Crocodile Douluo was still beaten miserably.
