Chapter 7: The Power of the Three Soul Skills
🕑 Added 2025-04-19 06:58:08 +0000 UTCOslo, who was kicked down the stairs, did not suffer any injuries. Although the top floor of the dormitory building is more than ten meters above the ground, the body of a soul master is still enough to withstand such an impact.
While getting up from the ground, Oslo was also looking back at the kick that Lu Buliang had just given him. He was a quick attack type and struck first but was struck later by the opponent. This showed that Lu Buliang was not worse than him in speed.
Moreover, that kick was so powerful that the strength was simply not something an auxiliary spirit master could possess.
Oslo figured it out. This was what Qin Ming meant when he said that Lu Buliang was not an ordinary auxiliary spirit master.
Auxiliary spirit master? Oslo said this silently in his heart, and then he realized that Lu Buliang was not an auxiliary spirit master. Judging from his combat skills and performance, Lu Buliang was completely developing in the direction of a combat spirit master.
Oslo was almost certain that Lü Buliang was a quick attack spirit master like him.
So why was he recruited into Qin Ming’s team as an auxiliary spirit master?
Because Lu Buliang possessed an amplification spirit skill. Due to the special nature of the shadow spirit, he could use this amplification spirit skill on other people’s shadows, allowing other people to also gain the same amplification effect.
To put it simply, Lu Buliang’s auxiliary soul skills are the soul master’s own amplification skills.
After figuring it out, Oslo became more and more excited. Since Lu Buliang was not a support type, but a quick attack type like himself, his desire to win naturally became stronger.
With a thought, soul power burst out from his body, and three yellow and purple soul rings unfolded under Oslo’s feet. He touched his slicked back hair, and the black and purple aura behind him transformed into a five-meter-long black panther.
Lu Buliang jumped down from the top floor of the dormitory and landed safely. As a beast roared, he noticed that Oslo had released his martial soul and spirit ring.
The same three yellow and purple soul rings flashed out one after another. On Lu Buliang’s body, except for the three soul rings, there was no martial soul appearing. It was not that he intended to hide his martial soul, but that his martial soul was a shadow.
As long as there is light, the shadow martial soul will always be in a state of martial soul possession. The shadow under Lu Buliang’s feet is his martial soul.
Under the illumination of the lights in the corridors of each floor of the dormitory building and the light of the soul rings, the shadows of Lu Buliang and Oslo can be clearly seen. They are confronting each other, and their shadows seem to be confronting each other as well.
The shadow of the black panther behind Oslo disappeared. At the same time, his ten fingers extended out with sharp claws, his hair turned completely black, and his whole body showed the characteristics of a black panther.
At the same moment when the martial soul possession was completed, the third soul ring under Oslo’s feet quickly lit up, and the third soul skill, Leopard Shadow Clone.
While running quickly, Oslo rushed towards Lu Buliang when suddenly three figures flashed out from his body. In an instant, the three figures flashed to the east, west and south of Lu Buliang, while Oslo was in the north, and he and his three clones attacked Lu Buliang like a tiger descending from the mountain.
Facing the leopard shadows running towards him from four directions, Lu Buliang stood quietly where he was. Although he seemed calm, the three spirit rings under his feet were all spinning violently.
The first soul skill, shadow locking.
The second soul skill, Shadow Attack.
The third soul skill, shadow control.
Soul power is injected into three soul rings, and three soul skills are activated at the same time.
Suddenly, Oslo seemed to be locked by a certain force and felt uncomfortable all over. His rich combat experience told him that it was probably Lu Buliang’s soul skill that had some effect on his shadow.
Oslo was still very confident in his speed. He wanted to defeat Lu Buliang before his soul skill was activated. His second soul ring skill was Leopard Shadow Flash.
This is a pure speed-enhancing soul skill. With the help of Leopard Shadow Flash, Oslo’s speed will increase exponentially. With the Leopard Shadow clone attacking from four directions at the same time, the enemy will have no way to dodge.
The leopard claws flashing with cold light suddenly raised up, and Oslo touched his slicked back hair again. This was an action he often did before he was about to win a victory. “Lü Buliang, the battle is over!”
Just before the words fell, Oslo and his clones, who were flying towards Lu Buliang in four directions, suddenly stopped.
Oslo tried to lift his feet and lunge forward, but he couldn’t move an inch. It was as if his feet were glued tightly to the ground and he couldn’t lift them at all. What was even more strange was that he was in the middle of touching his slicked-back hair and couldn’t even move his hands and body.
Am I frozen in time? Oslo was secretly shocked that even his three leopard shadow clones could not move.
This is not some kind of soul skill that can stop time, but the effect of Lu Buliang’s first soul skill, Shadow Locking, and the third soul skill, Shadow Control.
Locking shadow can lock shadows within a certain range, while controlling shadow can control the locked shadow and change the shadow’s state, using your own or others’ shadows to make changes.
Oslo and his three leopard shadow clones were in a motionless state because their shadows were controlled by Lu Buliang’s third soul skill. The shadows could not move, so the shadow owners naturally could not move either.
The enemy's shadow Is in a controlled state. If you want to force it to move, unless it has a soul power many levels higher than Lu Buliang, or the quality of its martial soul is much stronger than the shadow’s martial soul, otherwise, the overall situation is already decided. A person who cannot move will be at the mercy of Lu Buliang.
To be on the safe side, Lu Buliang also deliberately used his second soul skill, Shadow Attack, which allowed him to escape into the ground and move freely between shadows. During this time, he could block mental detection and his speed and attack attributes increased by 50%.
The main purpose of this soul skill is to prevent Oslo’s three clones from being illusory and producing no shadows. Once no shadows exist, it is impossible to lock and control the shadows. If Oslo’s three clones cannot be controlled at that time, the second soul skill, Shadow Attack, can be used to escape into the ground to avoid attacks and launch a surprise attack on Oslo.
Fortunately, Oslo’s three clones are all physical entities with shadows, and are therefore affected by the two soul skills of Shadow Locking and Shadow Control.
“Lü Buliang, what did you do to me?” Oslo was still unable to move, his hands touching his slicked-back hair. This posture made him feel a little ashamed. You know, the girls’ dormitory is a hundred meters away from the men’s dormitory. What would Ye Lingling, whom he liked, think if she saw him posing to a man like this and letting him do whatever he wanted?
Lü Buliang was now under the amplification effect of his second soul skill, Shadow Attack. He seemed to disappear into the ground and turned into a black shadow. The next moment, he actually emerged from the shadow under Oslo’s feet and suddenly appeared in front of Oslo.
Seeing this scene, not only Oslo, but also Yu Tianheng and others who were watching on the corridor on the top floor were shocked.
An idea suddenly occurred to Shimo, “Can Lü Buliang’s spirit skill also allow him to shuttle back and forth between shadows?”
Hearing this, the five people’s hearts tightened at the same time. If Lü Buliang had the intention to kill Oslo, then wouldn’t Oslo have been killed just now without reacting?
Silently appearing next to the enemy through the enemy’s shadow, even the most careful soul master would not be able to guard against it, right?
This kind of soul skill is undoubtedly the most practical in team battles. Not to mention dealing with the opponent’s auxiliary soul master, it is very likely to wipe out the opponent instantly.
It’s not scary If your teammates betray you. What’s scarier is if your own shadow betrays you.
Seeing Lü Buliang appearing from his own shadow, Oslo was panicked and his eyes were shaking. No matter how dumb he was, he could see that he was “dead”. If Lü Buliang had a knife in his hand and stabbed him in the heart, wouldn’t he really be dead?
“I said, please eat my fist. If you don’t agree to let me join the team, I will let you eat enough.”
After saying that, Lu Buliang raised his fist and smashed it hard towards Oslo’s face.
Bang, boom, ah————
The sound of collisions, the subtle noise of fists and elbows rubbing against the air, and Oslo’s screams echoed one after another downstairs in the dormitory building.
Both the speed and attack power of Lu Buliang’s punches were increased by 50% with the help of his second soul skill, Shadow Attack. Such continuous punches hitting Oslo’s face, who had no power to fight back, were like countless artillery shells bombarding his face. The power can be imagined.
Oslo’s shadow was fixed at this time. He was beaten like a wooden man but couldn’t fight back. He couldn’t bear the pain any longer and screamed in a trembling voice, “I agree. I agree. Stop hitting me. I welcome you to join the team, ah——”
The next day.
Morning.
Heaven Royal Academy, playground.
Yu Tianheng and his seven classmates did not go to the classroom for class early in the morning, but gathered in the playground.
Seeing Oslo’s face wrapped in bandages, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were puzzled and asked him why. He only said one word: “It hurts, it hurts, it hurts.”
Helplessly, Ye Lingling had to use the Nine-Hearted Begonia martial spirit to help heal him.
“Oslo, what happened to you?” Dugu Yan asked curiously, “After not seeing you for one night, how come your face has become like a pig’s head? Or has your Ghost Leopard martial spirit mutated and turned into a pig?”
Oslo sighed, “Sister Yanzi, please stop being so mean to me. I’ve already suffered enough physical pain last night, and I don’t want my heart to be hurt again.”
“What’s wrong with him?” Ye Lingling asked Yufeng.
Yufeng wanted to answer truthfully, but Oslo had warned them not to tell anyone about the beating he received from Lu Buliang last night.
Others are shameless, but Oslo is a person who cares about his dignity. He went to provoke Lü Buliang and was beaten up. If Ye Lingling, whom he likes, knew about this, wouldn’t he be made a laughing stock? It’s not a pleasant feeling to be a laughing stock.
“Where’s Lü Buliang?” Dugu Yan suddenly asked, “Didn’t Teacher Qin say that he would bring him to the team training today? Why didn’t he come to the playground to gather? I said last night that I would beat him up for Lingling!”
“Sister Yanzi, I think it’s better for you not to fight with Lü Buliang.” Shi Mo scratched his head and kindly reminded, “That guy is just like what Teacher Qin Ming said, he is not a simple auxiliary spirit master. Moreover, his personality is similar to Yu Feng. On the surface, he is polite to others, but in his heart he is sinister and scary. He is a guy who is not easy to mess with.”
Yufeng glared at Shimo and said, “Big guy, it’s ok for you to say bad things about Lu Buliang behind his back, but why do you have to say bad things about me to my face?”
Dugu Yan completely ignored Shi Mo’s persuasion and snorted coldly, “He is not easy to mess with, but am I? Teacher Qin made him sound so powerful. If I don’t see him playing any role in the team today, I will definitely let him taste the venom of the green phosphorus snake. Where is Teacher Qin Ming? Why can’t I see Teacher Qin?”
