Douluo Dalu 1: The Tang Family Rebel

"Rumble, rumble..."

The ground around Chrysanthemum Douluo began to tremble slightly. Suddenly, cracks appeared in the earth, and tree roots still covered in soil burst forth, surging toward him like an overwhelming tide!

"Controlling plants? Interesting..." Chrysanthemum Douluo remarked, unfazed. He didn't even activate his martial soul or spirit rings. Instead, he casually spun his body, and soul power condensed into petal-like blades around him. These sharp petals flew outward, slicing through the incoming roots!

Slash, slash, slash!

The attacking roots were effortlessly severed by the petal blades.

"Huh? These roots aren't ordinary!" Chrysanthemum Douluo exclaimed. With his sharp eyesight as a Title Douluo, he quickly noticed the unusual toughness of the roots compared to ordinary ones. They were far sturdier, capable of ensnaring even a Spirit Elder at level 30, making escape difficult.

However, the roots continued to surge endlessly from beneath the ground. Though they were easily cut, more roots rapidly grew to replace them, relentlessly attacking Chrysanthemum Douluo.

As a seasoned fighter, Chrysanthemum Douluo knew he couldn't remain in place and let himself be targeted. He kicked off the ground, quickly leaving the encroaching roots behind and darting toward the forest.

But little did he know, this was precisely what Yun Chuan had hoped for!

Rumble, rumble!

Within the 300-meter domain, the surrounding trees seemed to come alive!

The trees trembled violently, and branches grew wildly, transforming into snake-like vines that lashed out furiously at the fleeing Chrysanthemum Douluo.

"Smart move, kid!"

Realizing that the forest was disadvantageous, Chrysanthemum Douluo immediately soared into the sky. By ascending, he aimed to escape the grasp of the trees and their relentless attacks.

But the trees pursued him relentlessly, stretching higher as their branches and vines chased after him like a writhing mass of tentacles.

Though Chrysanthemum Douluo continued to sever the vines with ease, it became clear that the trees had a height limit. Once he ascended past two or three hundred meters, the trees below stopped growing taller, reaching their limit.

For a moment, it seemed that Yun Chuan's plant domain could no longer affect Chrysanthemum Douluo in mid-air. However, this was not the case. Although his domain couldn't physically reach that high, Yun Chuan had a trick up his sleeve.

The trees stopped moving momentarily, only to suddenly bloom with vibrant flowers. Within seconds, these blossoms withered and transformed into massive fruits.

Watching this unfold, Chrysanthemum Douluo made no move to destroy the fruits, choosing instead to observe curiously. After all, this wasn't a real battle but a test to gauge Yun Chuan's domain capabilities.

The fruits pointed their tops toward Chrysanthemum Douluo in the sky and violently burst apart!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

From within the exploding fruits, countless seed-like projectiles shot out like bullets, creating a dense barrage aimed at Chrysanthemum Douluo.

The speed was incredible!

Prepared for such an attack, Chrysanthemum Douluo simply erected a soul power barrier around himself, letting the torrent of seeds strike him without concern.

Bang, bang, bang!

Even with the robust defense of a Title Douluo's soul power, the relentless barrage caused the shield to tremble slightly.

"Each of these seeds carries power comparable to a level 30 Spirit Elder!" Chrysanthemum Douluo marveled. From this short exchange, he quickly deduced the immense potential of Yun Chuan's domain. Even without spirit rings, the domain could easily annihilate Spirit Elders. Against Spirit Kings who couldn't fly, Yun Chuan could exhaust and defeat them by attrition.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Below, the forest continued its relentless assault, with trees endlessly blooming, fruiting, and firing seed projectiles like an unstoppable machine.

After watching for a while, the nearby Lady Pope and Ghost Douluo, who had been observing from a distance, made their judgment about Yun Chuan's domain.

"That's enough, Chuan'er. Stop now," said Bibi Dong in her gentle, melodic voice.

The barrage of seeds ceased instantly at her command. The trees, which had been writhing like living creatures, fell silent and returned to their original, motionless state. However, the artificially stimulated growth remained. This patch of forest now towered above the surrounding woods, standing out conspicuously.

Chrysanthemum Douluo dismissed his soul power barrier and flew back to join the Pope and Ghost Douluo.

Meanwhile, Yun Chuan emerged from hiding and appeared beside Bibi Dong in a flash, grabbing her hand and asking eagerly, "Mom, how was it? Was I amazing?"

"Yes, our little Chuan'er is the best," Bibi Dong said with a doting smile, gently patting his head.

"Xiao Chuan's plant domain is truly remarkable!" Chrysanthemum Douluo praised. "Within the domain, he can freely manipulate plants into various forms. More importantly, controlling these plants doesn't drain his soul power. This means he can endlessly attack with them if he wishes.

"Though the plants themselves aren't very powerful, a Spirit Elder would struggle to escape if entangled. Even a Spirit King unable to fly would eventually fall, worn down by the ceaseless onslaught of plants. However, Spirit Emperors and above could still easily break through the plants' defenses and escape the domain."
