Chapter 12: Shadow Martial Spirit (5)
🕑 Added 2025-04-19 13:42:17 +0000 UTCDugu Yan’s gaze fell on Lu Buliang, and she found that being assisted by Lu Buliang felt so comfortable.
Moving in shadow form, speed and attack attributes are increased by 50%. This increase allows me, a control-type character, to have the speed of an agile attack type and the attack of a strong attack type, allowing me to perform poison control with ease.
Dugu Yan is not stupid. She has already experienced how powerful Lu Buliang is in this actual combat.
At the same time, she have already accepted his joining in her heart.
After all, which team doesn’t want to win?
With Lü Buliang around, no matter what opponent they encounter, their chances of winning will be greatly improved.
Yu Tianheng had never received full marks in Shi Gao’s practical class before, but he did not expect to achieve it today.
After comparing before and after, he had to admit that the role that Lu Buliang played in the team was indeed incomparable to Ye Lingling.
In every future fighting spirit match, if it is a friendly match, Yu Tianheng will choose to let Ye Lingling play.
If victory is taken into consideration, Yu Tianheng would definitely let Lu Buliang play first.
Dugu Yan, Oslo and others also had the same idea.
After an actual battle, the seven members of Heaven Dou Royal Academy’s team have seen and personally experienced the role that Lu Buliang plays in the team. Oslo was right, showing one’s strength is the most direct way to gain recognition from others.
Seeing her companions sitting on the fighting arena, talking and laughing, feeling relieved, Ye Lingling was happy from the bottom of her heart, but her mood was also very complicated.
Previously, when he and his companions fought together, they could not hurt Shi Gao no matter what. But after Lu Buliang took over, the team’s combat capability changed so much.
Ye Lingling was very happy that her team had become stronger, and was also very happy to have such a reliable partner joining. However, Ye Lingling’s back looked a little lonely, and she felt a sense of distance from her partners, as if the team no longer needed her.
Shi Gao jumped off the stage with an ugly look on his face. It was the first time that he was forced into this state by a student. He smiled bitterly at Qin Ming and said, “What is the background of that new student? Shadow spirit, I can’t think of any family with the surname Lu that has inherited the shadow spirit.”
“He is a commoner.” Qin Ming responded, “He joined the academy as an excellent student, and he is now a member of the first team.”
“So he is an excellent student. No wonder his martial spirit is so special.”
Shi Gao looked at Lü Buliang with surprise in his eyes. “With him here, the team’s combat capability and mobility have been greatly improved. The compatibility is also higher. I can’t believe that there is a support-type martial spirit that is more suitable for Yu Tianheng and his team than Nine-Hearted Begonia. In team battles, Lü Buliang’s combat effect is indeed much better than Ye Lingling’s.”
Hearing this, Ye Lingling appeared calm on the surface, but her mood became even more depressed. It was not until Oslo called her over to help with the treatment on the fighting stage that she hurried over and used her remaining soul power to release the Nine-Hearted Begonia Martial Soul.
Then, accompanied by a faint fragrance, a white light descended from the sky. The white light looked extremely strange, and it was actually in the shape of petals. It slowly fell and landed directly on Yu Tianheng, Lu Buliang and others, and lightly merged into their bodies.
It was the first time that Lu Buliang experienced the effect of someone else’s auxiliary soul skill on himself. His tired body gradually recovered to full condition and all the lost physical strength was restored. It felt so wonderful.
However, according to the description in the original novel, the Nine-Hearted Begonia seems unable to restore soul power, nor can it repair broken limbs. Although it has the benefit of full-scale range treatment, it is still a flaw.
In the original novel, the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, an auxiliary martial soul that also had a flaw, evolved into the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda after being transformed by the fairy grass, thus solving the martial soul’s flaws.
Perhaps after the Nine-Hearted Begonia martial soul is strengthened by the magical grass, it can also evolve and have the magical effect of restoring soul power or even repairing severed limbs.
Fairy grass is such a heaven-defying existence.
Lu Buliang’s eyes fell on Dugu Yan, and he thought that after this battle, Dugu Yan’s hostility towards him should be reduced a little. He must build a good relationship with her as soon as possible, and then plan how to find out the whereabouts of Dugu Bo through her. This way, it would be relatively safer to enter the Sunset Forest to obtain the magic grass.
The second soul ring gives the shadow martial soul good attack and speed attributes, and the third soul ring gives the shadow martial soul strong plasticity and changeability.
Lu Buliang can now be said to be an auxiliary soul master, or a control or agility attack soul master.
Despite this, the current strength attribute of the Shadow Martial Soul is still too poor. If it obtains a soul ring with a strength or sharpness attribute at the fourth soul ring, it can also allow the Shadow Martial Soul to have good attack capabilities and strong attack soul skills.
But this cannot fundamentally solve the problem. Relying on spirit rings to enhance the power or offensiveness of shadow martial spirits will never achieve the ideal effect.
If you want the Shadow Martial Soul to become a being comparable to a strong attack-type martial soul, you still need to make a fundamental change to the Shadow Martial Soul.
Just like what I said before, the magic grass can make the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda spirit evolve, and perhaps it can also make the Nine-Hearted Begonia spirit mutate.
By the same logic, if the shadow spirit can be transformed by the fairy grass and the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, it may become even more powerful, and the quality of the spirit will also be upgraded. At that time, the power attribute of the shadow spirit should have a qualitative leap. In this way, it may not be impossible to become a strong attack spirit master.
The fairy grass Is too important to Lu Buliang now. He seems to understand Yang Wudi of the Breaking clan’s desire for the fairy grass. He really thinks about it day and night.
When he was sleeping last night, Lu Buliang dreamed that he ate two beads of ice and fire magic grass and jumped into the ice and fire Yin-Yang Eyes for cleansing. Finally, his shadow martial soul evolved, awakened his innate domain, and obtained the power of the two dragon kings of ice and fire. It was really an extremely beautiful dream, but unfortunately he was awakened by Qin Ming.
After receiving treatment from Ye Lingling, the physical strength of Lu Buliang and others recovered to their best condition. They jumped off the fighting arena and walked to Qin Ming.
“Lingling, that’s great. We beat Teacher Shi Gao. We don’t have to be punished.” Oslo was the first to run to Ye Lingling and said excitedly, “Let me tell you, during the fight just now, if I hadn’t shown mercy, that claw would have split Teacher Shi Gao’s head open. What do you think? Didn’t expect me to be so powerful?”
Before Ye Lingling could say anything, Shi Gao tapped Oslo on the forehead with his finger and cursed, “You stinky boy, what are you so proud of? You want to split my head with your little strength? I think you are hallucinating after receiving the attack attribute enhancement from Lu Buliang?”
Oslo cried out, holding his head which was hurt by the blow and staring at Shi Gao. He wanted to fight back but was frightened by Shi Gao’s raised fist and his heart trembled. He kept shaking his head and waving his hands to show weakness.
Xue Qinghe smiled faintly and said to Lu Buliang, “You performed well just now. I look forward to your future achievements. You are an outstanding student. You should make good use of the resources provided by the academy for free, practice hard, and strive to have a better performance in the next elite competition.”
“Okay.” Lu Buliang responded and thought to himself, the original novel said that the Crown Prince Xue Qinghe in this timeline was disguised by Qian Renxue using her soul bone skills. You can’t tell she is a woman even at such a close distance. I guess if you want to see her true appearance, you can only do so when she is taking a bath.
Canteen.
The practical class with Shi Gao in the morning is over and now it is lunch time.
The dining hall of Heaven Dou Royal Academy is built at the foot of the mountain, surrounded by green mountains and clear waters.
In a private room on the second floor of the cafeteria, there was a lively conversation.
“Hey, Lu Buliang. Don’t worry about eating yet. We will be teammates from now on. Let me introduce myself again. My name is Oslo, I’m sixteen years old, a level thirty-four agility attack system war soul master, martial soul: ghost leopard. Everyone calls me Leopard.”
“Yufeng, sixteen years old, level thirty-four agility attack system combat soul master, martial soul: wind chime bird. It doesn’t matter what you want to call me, just don’t call me birdman.”
“My name is Shi Mo, I’m seventeen years old, a level thirty-six defense-type battle soul master, and my martial soul is the Black Tortoise. The one next to me is my younger brother, Shi Mo, a level thirty-five defense-type battle soul master, and his martial soul is also the Black Tortoise. By the way, the teacher who gave us the practical guidance class this morning was our father. His name was Shi Gao, and our father is a level seventy-eight battle soul saint, and his strength is second only to the three members of the Education Committee.”
“I am the captain of the first team, Yu Tianheng, eighteen years old, with the spirit of Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, and a level thirty-eight strong attack-type battle spirit master. As you can see, I come from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect. This is the deputy captain of the first team, Dugu Yan, with the spirit of Jade Phosphorus Snake, and the same age as you, eighteen years old, and a level thirty-seven control-type battle spirit master.”
“Although Yanyan was not born into a noble family, her grandfather is the senior Poison Douluo who is known as the master of poison. A few years ago, Yanyan’s grandfather became a guest official in the royal family and sent her to the academy.”
“The other girl is Ye Lingling, with the spirit Nine-Hearted Begonia, and a level 34 auxiliary weapon spirit master. We are hostile to your joining because we are afraid that you will take Lingling’s auxiliary position. After all, she is only fifteen years old, the youngest among us. Everyone treats her as a younger sister, and she doesn’t like to talk, and is not good at expressing emotions. We are afraid that she will suffer in silence, so we stand up for her.”
“We didn’t treat you well before, we’re really sorry.” Yu Tianheng apologized: “If you want any compensation, we will try our best to satisfy you.”
