Chapter 11: Shadow Martial Spirit (4)
🕑 Added 2025-04-19 13:41:47 +0000 UTC“Teacher Shi, do you want to look behind you?” Oslo kindly reminded.
His eyes slowly turned behind him, and Shi Gao was stunned for a moment. Yu Tianheng had transformed from a shadow back into a human form and flew into the air, with a thunder dragon wrapped around his body. A dragon’s roar sounded, and dense lightning gathered around his body.
The second soul skill Is thunderous force.
The countless electric currents swirling around amplified at the same time. With Yu Tianheng’s fierce roar, the terrifying electric currents turned into countless lightning arrows that flashed out in all directions.
With the 50% attack increase of Shadow Attack, and the 100% lightning power boost of his third soul skill Thunderous Fury, the explosive power and attack power of Thunderous Force have reached a terrifying level.
A strong ray of lightning exploded from Yu Tianheng’s body, carrying with it countless lightning forces as it shot towards Shi Gao.
Looking at the fast-approaching lightning, Shi Gao was frightened. He was not afraid that the lightning would hurt himself, but he was afraid that the lightning would accidentally hurt Oslo. At this moment, Oslo was still by his side.
Unfortunately, when Shi Gao’s attention fell on Oslo, Oslo had already turned into a shadow and disappeared into the ground, escaping.
“This brat!” Shi Gao cursed in his heart while blocking his face with his hands. He could no longer avoid the lightning shot from the air by Yu Tianheng and could only rely on his unparalleled defensive power to take it.
However, he forgot one thing, that is the existence of Lu Buliang.
When teammates launch a group attack, Lu Buliang can not only observe the battle situation and convey useful information to teammates, but also control the situation.
The third soul skill, Shadow Control, is his means of controlling the enemy.
Shi Gao opened his hands and was about to close them in front of his chest when he suddenly froze. An inexplicable resistance prevented him from closing his hands in front of his chest, and even his body and feet could not move normally, as if his body was suddenly still.
“Is it that new soul skill again?” Shi Gao’s gaze fell on Lu Buliang. From the smile on Lu Buliang’s lips, he could tell that he was definitely causing trouble.
Seeing that Shi Gao was unable to move his body, Oslo turned into a shadow and sneaked into the surface. He recalled the battle with Lu Buliang last night. It turned out that being immobilized was such a terrifying thing.
At this moment, Shi Gao opened his arms wide and was unable to move, as the lightning rays from the sky were approaching.
On the left and right sides of Shi Gao, the two brothers Shi Mo and Shi Mo jumped out from the ground at the same time, changing from shadow state back to human form, and using their soul skills, the two brothers condensed green turtle shells in their hands and swung them towards the left and right sides of Shi Gao respectively.
The heavy and hard green turtle shell flew out of his hand, forming a horn with the lightning rays coming from the air.
Even if Shi Gao could break through Lu Buliang’s shadow control by relying on the difference in soul power level, he would not be able to avoid the attacks coming from three directions.
What’s more, Dugu Yan, who is a controller, is ready to attack in the fourth direction. If Shi Gao dodges the attacks from three directions, he will fall into the trap of the Green Phosphorus Snake Venom Array.
The soul power of level 78 was fully exploded. Shi Gao did not use soul skills and martial soul, but still used all his strength. The terrifying energy shattered Lu Buliang’s control. Shi Gao’s shadow was no longer under control. He immediately covered his head with both hands to defend against attacks from three directions.
Suddenly, a loud bang exploded on the fighting spirit stage.
Bang. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom.
The exploding soul energy enveloped the entire fighting arena, with smoke and dust rising everywhere.
Without using his martial soul, even a Soul Saint would be unable to withstand the tortoise shell attack of the Shi brothers, as well as Yu Tianheng’s thunderous bombardment.
But when the smoke and dust cleared, even though the surrounding floor was completely destroyed, Shi Gao was still standing without falling down, and there were only minor skin injuries on his body.
“Injured.” Yu Feng changed from a shadow state back to a human form and flew into the sky. In the battle plan passed down to them by Lu Buliang, he and Dugu Yan were preparing for the second attack.
But seeing the scars on Shi Gao’s body, Yu Feng and Dugu Yan did not launch any more attacks, because the rule was that if they could injure Shi Gao, they would have passed the actual combat.
The seventy-eighth level soul power erupted again, but Shi Gao did not end the battle. His eyes had already locked onto Lu Buliang’s position. It was common sense in the soul master world that in a team battle, auxiliary systems should be defeated first.
As a character who is both an auxiliary and a control character, Lu Buliang poses too great a threat, so Shi Gao must start with him first.
“You have passed the practical class. However, I don’t want you to just pass. I want you to get full marks. The battle continues!”
After saying that, Shi Gao’s heavy body suddenly moved, bringing with it a stream of soul power as he pounced towards Lu Buliang.
It all happened so suddenly that Yu Tianheng and the others had no time to react. Although Shi Gao was a defensive spirit master, his physical attributes were enhanced by the seven spirit rings. If he burst out with all his strength, his speed would still be beyond the reach of Yu Tianheng and the others.
In an instant, Shi Gao’s figure appeared before him. Looking at the fist so close to him, Lu Buliang was not afraid but happy. He smiled faintly. Having played so many roles in the team battle, he certainly thought about how to deal with the situation of being targeted by the enemy.
Just when Shi Gao’s fist was about to hit Lü Buliang’s face, a scene that surprised everyone appeared. With a whoosh, Lü Buliang actually swapped positions with Shi Gao. The two of them were back to back, and thus avoided Shi Gao’s fist.
Taking this opportunity, Lu Buliang transformed into a shadow and disappeared into the ground, moving quickly towards Shi Gao with his back to him. He only changed back into human form after he had left a distance of several dozen meters.
Shi Gao showed a sly smile on his somewhat ashamed and angry face. He knew that his fist did not miss. What happened just now was that he appeared in Lu Buliang’s position, and Lu Buliang appeared in his position.
Swapping positions, is this also the soul skill of that brat?
While thinking, Shi Gao turned around and faced Lü Buliang, shouting, “You little brat, you only have three spirit rings, but you use more than three spirit skills. You can lock onto a shadow, turn into a shadow, freeze a shadow, and swap positions. Do you have any spirit bone skills?”
Lu Buliang said truthfully: “No. Position swapping is an extension of my third soul skill, Shadow Control. By changing the state of the two shadows, the shadows can be swapped. When the shadows swap positions, the shadow owners will also swap positions.”
“So it’s a self-created soul skill.” Shi Gao became interested, bumped his fists together, and said with a smile, “Not bad, I’ll give you 80 points for today’s practical class.”
“No.” Lu Buliang shook his head, “We want full marks.”
As the voice fell, Yu Tianheng and the other six turned into shadows again and disappeared into the ground. Everyone used all their strength to attack and flew straight towards Lu Buliang.
The message they received from Lu Buliang was to attack Lu Buliang with the strongest moves.
Yu Tianheng and the other six didn’t know why they did this, but they did it anyway.
Seeing the six black shadows moving like snakes on the ground and attacking Lü Buliang, not only Shi Gao, but also the three members of the Education Committee and Xue Qinghe could not understand what they were doing.
Shi Gao did not care what they were planning. He watched the show and remained alert at all times. He wanted to see what tricks these little monsters could play.
Just as they reached Lu Buliang’s side, six black shadows suddenly jumped up from the ground and transformed into the figures of Yu Tianheng and his six companions. The spirit skills in their hands almost simultaneously smashed towards Lu Buliang’s position.
Shi Gao, who was watching the show with a smile, only felt a force acting on him. His body passively flashed and he inexplicably appeared in the attack range of Yu Tianheng and other six people, and was completely surrounded by the six people’s spirit skills.
Shi Gao then noticed that he was now standing in Lu Buliang’s position, while Lu Buliang appeared in his original position.
Another position swap! Shi Gao tried to dodge the six soul skills, but found it was too late. The attack was already close at hand. How to dodge?
Six soul skills exploded on Shi Gao at the same time, and the fighting arena roared again.
“Shadow swap?” Zhilin’s originally calm eyes gradually turned into surprise. “He used the shadow swap trick on Shi Gao again. That’s why Shi Gao appeared defenselessly within the attack range of Yu Tianheng and the other six people.”
Meng Shenji nodded and said, “That’s right. This student named Lu Buliang is very good at using the shadow spirit. My black demon spirit is the best control spirit among all the spirit masters. It can control people’s dreams and is a very difficult existence for any spirit master. I didn’t expect that the shadow spirit is as difficult as my black demon spirit.”
“Once controlled by the shadow spirit, unless one makes one’s shadow disappear completely, otherwise, in a battle of equal level, there is almost no suspense and the shadow spirit will win. This is because the changes of the shadow are too mysterious and too difficult to predict. But even the human body can produce light, so how can one make the shadow disappear completely?”
“Your Highness, what do you think of Lü Buliang’s talent?”
Xue Qinghe’s eyes had obviously changed when he looked at Lu Buliang, and he said seriously: “The quality of a martial soul is determined by its innate nature, but the potential of a martial soul is determined by its soul master. I think that Lu Buliang’s outstanding performance just now was certainly due to his shadow martial soul, but more importantly, it was Lu Buliang’s control of the battle situation and his understanding of the battle. This student has a bright future. If he can achieve a Titled Douluo, he will definitely be the top one.”
“Yes, with his joining, Heaven Dou Royal Academy may have a chance to compete with Spirit Hall for the championship in the elite competition three years later. Maybe the academy can really train a Titled Douluo.” Bai Baoshan looked at Qin Ming and said with a smile, “Teacher Qin, you have a good eye.”
Qin Ming didn’t reply, but returned the greeting respectfully.
On the fighting arena, everything returned to calm.
Despite the attacks of six people’s soul skills, Shi Gao did not suffer any damage at this time, because he had been possessed by the martial spirit, and he was able to use his first soul skill, the tortoise shell defense, to remain safe and sound.
“Teacher, didn’t you say that you don’t need martial spirits and spirit skills?” Yu Feng was flying in the air, looking down from above and being able to see Shi Gao’s situation more clearly in the smoke and dust. Using his spirit skills, Yu Feng suddenly waved his hands that had turned into wings, stirring up a strong wind that blew away the smoke and dust.
Shi Gao’s spirit possession was exposed to everyone. Seeing Yu Tianheng and the others casting questioning looks, Shi Gao immediately released his spirit possession and said with a wry smile, “Well, I lost this actual combat. Not only did you injure me, you also forced out all my soul power, even my spirit and soul skills. You got full marks for this class. You don’t need to be punished any more.”
Hearing this, Shimo and Shimo were overjoyed and sat down exhausted.
“Finally I don’t have to be punished.” Oslo also used up all his soul power, sat down on the ground, and complained to Shi Mo, “I don’t want to run around the playground a hundred times with a turtle shell on my back like you two brothers.”
After saying that, Shi Mo and Oslo high-fived each other and collapsed to the ground at the same time.
Dugu Yan and Yu Feng consumed the least energy, so they were still able to stand. Dugu Yan’s gaze fell on Lu Buliang. How could she have thought that she would not be punished in Teacher Shi Gao’s class this time and get full marks in her first practical class. It was also the first time that Dugu Yan felt the assistance of an auxiliary soul master other than Ye Lingling.
The feeling of being assisted by Lu Buliang is so comfortable.
