Chapter 18: Shadow vs. Green Phosphorus Snake (2)
🕑 Added 2025-04-20 06:27:01 +0000 UTC“You bastard, wait for the practical class, wait and see how I poison you to death!”
When Dugu Yan uttered this curse, the academy bell rang, and the theory class ended.
The students left the classroom and gathered on the playground. They were about to take a practical instruction class.
The students in each class have designated teachers to give guidance lessons. The practical guidance teacher of Tiandou Class 1 is Qin Ming, and the last level 78 defense-type combat soul Sheng Shigao is just a substitute teacher for all classes.
Lu Buliang and Dugu Yan agreed yesterday to have a fighting spirit competition in today’s practical class to see who has better control ability.
Qin Ming also agreed, so the first students to fight in this practical class were Lu Buliang and Dugu Yan, a contest between the shadow spirit and the green phosphorus snake spirit.
On the fighting spirit stage.
Lu Buliang and Dugu Yan faced each other, their eyes full of fighting spirit, and they were ready to start fighting at any time.
Due to the conflict that had just occurred in the theory class, there was already a strong sense of tension between the two of them without even needing to say anything harsh.
Dugu Yan said viciously, “Lü Buliang, you are dead!”
“Really? You couldn’t beat me in the theory class, so you think you can beat me in the practical class?” While responding to Dugu Yan’s provocation, Lu Buliang handled his own affairs. He threw all the small stones in a large bag in his hand into the sky.
Countless fist-sized stones were scattered in every corner of the fighting arena. Under the scorching sunlight, the shadows of countless stones were reflected on the floor of the fighting arena.
“I gave you a theoretical lesson this morning. Now, I will give you a practical lesson to show you what is most important to a soul master.”
After saying that, Lu Buliang’s three soul rings unfolded one after another, and the soul power in his body exploded out of his body. The strong energy rushed to everyone’s faces. Qin Ming, Yu Tianheng and others were secretly surprised. This soul power was obviously stronger than before. It seemed that Lu Buliang’s soul power had increased.
Dugu Yan also felt something was wrong with the spirit power released by Lu Buliang. Her pretty face, which was slightly angry, suddenly became solemn. “When did your spirit power increase?”
“Yesterday afternoon, when I was training in the mimicry field, I happened to increase my soul power by one level, and now it is level 36.” Lu Buliang raised his eyebrows, raised his right fist, and said with a smile, “I think you don’t have to eat lunch at noon. Now I will let you eat my fist to your heart’s content.”
Dugu Yan snorted disdainfully, “It’s just a level increase in soul power, what are you so proud of?”
His eyes swept over the small stones on the floor of the fighting arena, and he continued, “Lü Buliang, no matter what you want to do by throwing these stones on the stage, you can’t escape the fate of being tortured by the green phosphorus snake venom. Then you will cry and beg me to detoxify you!”
“Stop talking nonsense. Are you coming or not?” A cold light flashed in Lu Buliang’s eyes. The three yellow and purple soul rings under his feet spun violently. The soul power exploding from his body became stronger and stronger, dyeing the surroundings light blue.
Dugu Yan stopped talking nonsense and released her martial soul and spirit ring. A emerald green snake martial soul emerged from the ground, coiled up from under her feet, and enveloped an area of several meters in radius with a green aura.
The same three yellow and purple soul rings were vibrating on Dugu Yan’s body. At the same time as the martial soul was released, Dugu Yan was possessed by the martial soul. His body became extremely soft, and his legs merged together to form a thick green snake tail. His green eyes became exceptionally sharp, and his cold breath did not have the slightest human emotion. He was as terrifying as a weird snake spirit.
Lu Buliang discovered that after Dugu Yan’s martial spirit possessed her, the color of her hair and eyes became darker, her hair turned dark purple and her eyes became dark green.
The original novel said that Dugu Yan’s purple hair and green eyes were caused by the backlash of the Green Phosphorus Snake venom. Therefore, when possessed by the Green Phosphorus Snake martial spirit, the backlash from the Green Phosphorus Snake venom Dugu Yan suffered should be more serious than normal.
However, her neck-length dark purple hair and sharp green eyes made her look quite heroic. She couldn’t be said to be stunningly beautiful, but she had a kind of seductive charm.
It’s no wonder that even Yu Tianheng, who has seen countless women, is drooling over such a snake beauty.
She has a bold personality and wants to try everything, which gives people a charming feeling.
Coupled with such a delicate and snake-like face, a body as soft as a snake, and a voice that seduces people, finding such a beauty will definitely give you complete satisfaction in bed.
The lewd moans she will make when she is being conquered, and her lazy and seductive posture with disheveled hair after the conquest, must make people feel comfortable to the bone. (T/N: Bro is horny)
“Lü Buliang, are you coming or not?” This time it was Dugu Yan who asked the question.
Seeing Lu Buliang in a daze, she wanted to use the Green Phosphorus Purple Poison to poison him to death, but this was a battle of fighting spirits, and she couldn’t kill him. She also didn’t like taking advantage of others’ unpreparedness in a fair competition, as winning in this way would not be glorious at all.
Lü Buliang put away his ill will towards Dugu Yan and reminded her, “Yanzi, haven’t you noticed yet? From the moment my spirit ring lit up, I have locked onto your shadow. I am waiting for an opportunity to strike. What are you waiting for? Waiting to die?”
“You are the one waiting to die. Wait for me to collect your body!” After cursing, the second of the three soul rings on Dugu Yan’s snake tail suddenly flashed, and the second soul ring skill, Green Phosphorus Red Poison was used.
With Lu Buliang as the center, the air in a ten-meter radius gradually became turbid and kept changing color, first from colorless to light red, and finally forming a large area of red poisonous fog that completely engulfed him.
Seeing himself trapped in the red fog, Lu Buliang was not afraid but laughed instead. Yesterday, Ye Lingling had already told him the effects of Dugu Yan’s three soul skills. This red poisonous fog should be Dugu Yan’s second soul skill, the Bilin Red Poison.
This is a soul ring skill obtained by hunting a soul beast called Pink Lady. The red mist produced by the green phosphorus red poison is not a deadly toxin directly mixed in the mist, but a highly effective stimulating pheromone.
After ordinary soul masters or creatures absorb these pheromones, they will feel a strong sense of excitement. This feeling will increase as the amount of red mist inhaled increases. Excessive excitement may lead to the risk of losing one’s mind.
When the excitement reaches a certain level, the vitality will be overdrawn until death.
Ye Lingling once said that if the Nine-Hearted Begonia was a spirit that could restore physical strength and calm people down, then Dugu Yan’s Bilin Red Poison was a weapon that could make people extremely excited and deplete their physical strength. The two were opposites.
Lu Buliang thought that Dugu Yan used the green phosphorus and red poison to control the enemy first, probably intending to put the enemy in an extremely excited state. Once the enemy lost his ability to judge calmly, the outcome would be clear.
Unfortunately, Lu Buliang already knew the effect of her soul skills and was prepared.
The countless small stones sprinkled on the fighting stage before the fighting began were a means to control the venom of the green phosphorus snake.
At this moment, there are small stones in every corner of the fighting arena. Under the strong sunlight, these stones will produce shadows. Lu Buliang can use his second soul skill Shadow Attack to gain the ability to shuttle between the shadows, thereby achieving space jumps at the position of each stone shadow.
The red poisonous fog only covers a range of ten meters. As long as he locks onto the shadow of a stone ten meters away, Lu Buliang can appear from the shadow of the stone, escape from the control of the poisonous fog without anyone noticing, and launch a shadow attack on Dugu Yan.
The second soul ring flashed, and Lu Buliang drilled into his own shadow and emerged from the shadow of a stone outside the red poisonous fog. He did not change back into human form, but maintained the state of a shadow and overlapped with the shadow of the stone.
At this moment, Lu Buliang was hiding under the shadow of the stone, concentrating on locking onto Dugu Yan’s shadow.
What surprised Lu Buliang was that his first soul skill was unable to lock onto Dugu Yan’s shadow. What was going on?
After pondering for a moment, Lu Buliang finally realized that Dugu Yan was hiding in the red poisonous fog. The shadow area formed by the poisonous fog covered her shadow. Therefore, there was no shadow under Dugu Yan’s feet, or her shadow had been minimized, infinitely close to the state of having no shadow.
Faced with this state where the shadow was infinitely close to nothing, Lu Buliang’s first soul skill, Locking Shadow, was ineffective. Even the second and third soul skills could not have any effect on Dugu Yan.
As a control-type spirit master, Dugu Yan had excellent combat qualities. She had personally experienced Lü Buliang’s spirit skills, so how could she not have thought of a way to deal with it?
Hide your own shadow and make it extremely weak. In this way, Lü Buliang’s shadow martial spirit would not be able to easily lock onto your shadow.
This was Dugu Yan’s response, and it seemed to be exactly as she expected.
“Lü Buliang, you are panicking, right?” Dugu Yan’s voice came from the red poisonous fog. “If you can’t lock onto my shadow, your second and third soul skills are useless. And you will become a useless person without the ability to fight. If you admit defeat to me now, you will suffer less physical pain. Otherwise, you will be worse off than dead!”
