Chapter 17: Shadow vs. Green Phosphorus Snake (1)
🕑 Added 2025-04-20 06:26:28 +0000 UTCLu Buliang took out a stone from his waist and placed it in a corner of the room. The stone fit tightly against the wall, and if you didn’t look carefully, it would be difficult to notice the existence of the stone.
In the sunlight, the shadow of the small stone was reflected on the ground.
In the future, he will need to enter this room to practice. He can use his second soul skill, Shadow Attack, to gain the ability to move freely between shadows. In this way, he can come to this room directly through the shadow of the small stone, and he does not need to sneak into the dean’s building every time to avoid being noticed.
The distance limit for shadows to travel freely is within one hundred meters. Ye Lingling, who was practicing at the edge of the grass and flowers, was just within this range. Lu Buliang used his first soul skill to lock onto Ye Lingling’s shadow, and then used his second soul skill to emerge from Ye Lingling’s shadow and quietly left the light-filled room.
At this time, Ye Lingling was still concentrating on her cultivation. She didn’t notice that Lu Buliang had emerged from her shadow, let alone that Lu Buliang was standing in front of her.
Quietly watching the Nine-Hearted Begonia Martial Soul floating above Ye Lingling’s head, releasing gentle white light and floral fragrance, Lu Buliang thought to himself that mimesis training resources were indeed very important to the growth of a soul master. No wonder in the original novel, Yu Xiaogang persuaded Flanders to give up Shrek Academy and join Heaven Dou Royal Academy in order to obtain mimesis training resources for the Shrek Seven Devils.
The current plot line Is still three years away from the Elite Competition, and Tang San should not have joined Shrek Academy yet, so there is still plenty of time for him to plan for the Immortal Grass.
Tomorrow is the soul battle with Dugu Yan. I can use the name of soul battle to find the weakness of the green phosphorus snake venom and learn more about anti-venom pills. Then I will have more confidence to go to the Sunset Forest alone and cross the poison array set up by Dugu Bo.
“——”
The next day.
Morning.
Heaven Dou Royal Academy, classroom.
The afternoon classes are mainly for students to enter the mimesis field for training, while the morning classes are theoretical and practical classes.
For soul masters, it is enough to have a basic reserve of theoretical knowledge, so the theoretical classes do not take up much time, only about an hour in total.
Tiandou Class 1 is the class of seven people including Yu Tianheng, and is also Lu Buliang’s class.
The Heaven Dou Royal Academy will be revered as the number one advanced soul master academy in the Heaven Dou Empire. In addition to having rich mimesis training resources, it also has a strong faculty.
The chief one is Meng Shenji, the second one is Bai Baoshan, and the third one is Zhilin. These three teaching committee members have the highest seniority in the academy and are also the teachers with the most teaching experience in the academy.
At this moment, in the Tiandou Class 1 classroom, the theoretical instructor standing on the podium giving lectures to the students is Zhilin, the third seat of the college’s teaching committee.
In his class, even the most stubborn children of nobles did not dare to make trouble. There was silence in the audience. The students were all listening attentively. Some students were taking notes on white paper very seriously.
Zhi Lin put his hands behind his back, and scanned the students under the podium with a sharp gaze. He asked, “Who can tell me what is the most important thing for a soul master?”
“You need soul power to become a soul master.” A student raised his hand to answer. “Of course soul power is the most important!”
“As a soul master, the most important thing is to find the development direction that best suits your martial soul.”
“High-quality spirit rings are the most important to spirit masters.”
“The soul skills that are suitable for soul masters are the most important.”
The students in the audience expressed their opinions one after another, and the atmosphere in the classroom was very lively.
“Lü Buliang. What do you think?” Zhilin’s gaze swept across the students who answered the question one by one, and finally fell on the leftmost seat in the third row, which was Lü Buliang’s seat.
Yesterday at Shi Gao’s practical class, Zhilin was very satisfied with Lu Buliang’s performance. He remembered that Lu Buliang was an auxiliary soul master, and also a control soul master with excellent control ability.
Zhilin would pay more attention to any soul master who was a control-type soul master, let alone someone like Lu Buliang who was able to perform both support and control.
Zhilin took the initiative to ask, “What do you think is the most important thing for a soul master?”
“I think what the previous students said is very correct. Soul power level, martial soul quality, and soul ring quality are all extremely important to soul masters.” Lu Buliang responded: “If you have to say the most important one, it depends on the situation.”
“Generally speaking, before level 60, the one with better spirit ring quality will have the advantage. Before level 95, the one with better martial spirit quality will have the advantage. After level 95, the one with higher spirit power level will have the advantage. Of course, if you can have all three, that is the most important thing.”
“I don’t agree with his point of view.” The loud voice attracted everyone’s attention.
Including Lu Buliang and Zhilin, everyone’s eyes fell on Dugu Yan. It was she who disagreed with Lu Buliang’s point of view.
“So what’s your opinion?” Zhilin thought that the granddaughter of Poison Douluo Dugu Bo must have some good ideas.
Dugu Yan was sitting in front of Lu Buliang. She did not turn around to look at Lu Buliang’s expression at the moment. She just wanted to express the different opinions in her heart.
“My opinion is the same as that of the previous classmate. I think the most important thing for a soul master is to find a direction that suits his martial soul cultivation. Just now, Lu Buliang said that the soul power level, soul ring quality, and martial soul quality are the most important for a soul master. I don’t agree.”
“Let me ask you, if these three conditions are the same, is there any spirit master who can defeat a control-type spirit master? The answer is no."
Dugu Yan said firmly, “The attack of a control-type soul master is very weak. But the control is extremely strong. An excellent control-type soul master can completely control an opponent whose soul power difference is within ten levels. So I think the direction of the soul master’s training is the most important. If a soul master develops towards the control system, it will be more advantageous.”
Clap your hands –
Many students who are heading towards the control department took the initiative to applaud and cheer for Dugu Yan’s point of view.
Dugu Yan then turned around and looked at Lu Buliang, and said with a hint of sarcasm, “Moreover, someone clearly entered the academy as an auxiliary spirit master, but he wanted to mark himself as a control spirit master. This shows that he also thinks that being a control spirit master is very honorable, right?”
Lu Buliang smiled bitterly, he knew that this woman was going to do it to him again.
Zhilin Education Committee also tends to believe that “control-type spirit masters are the strongest”. After listening to Dugu Yan’s point of view, he was very satisfied and asked Lu Buliang: “Do you want to refute it?”
“Yes.” Lu Buliang looked back at Dugu Yan and asked, “Yanzi, according to what you said, do you think control-type soul masters are invincible?”
Dugu Yan’s eyes were firm, “That’s right!”
“Well, let me ask you, if you fight Yu Tianheng, can you beat him?” Lu Buliang glanced at Yu Tianheng who was sitting on his right, and continued, “You are an excellent control-type soul master, and Yu Tianheng is an offensive-type soul master. If you really fight, I’m afraid you will lose miserably, right?”
Dugu Yan also glanced at Yu Tianheng, and after a pause, she reluctantly responded, “If we fight to the death, it’s not certain who will win or lose.”
“No.” Lü Buliang stared at Dugu Yan’s green eyes with certainty, “The outcome is obvious, you will definitely lose miserably. Because Yu Tianheng’s Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon is a top-level martial soul, the required spirit ring must be a spirit ring produced by a sub-dragon spirit beast, so the power of the spirit skill is extremely domineering and powerful. Your snake venom can’t control him at all. This is the difference in strength caused by the quality of the martial soul and the quality of the spirit ring.”
Dugu Yan was speechless for a moment, and after a moment of silence, she argued, “Who told you to use Tianheng as an example? His martial spirit is a top-level martial spirit, how can we compare with him? If we really want to compare, we should use martial spirits of the same quality, so that we can be comparable! If my Jade Phosphorus Snake martial spirit evolves into the Jade Phosphorus Snake King like my grandfather, I can definitely control the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon with poison.”
!
“Well, let me ask you again. Your grandfather Dugu Bo is a Control-type Titled Douluo, and Yu Tianheng’s grandfather is an Attack-type Titled Douluo. If the two of them fight, who do you think will win? I think this question is not difficult to answer, right? The answer is of course that your grandfather will lose. This not only involves the quality of the martial soul, but also the difference in soul power level.”
“Now do you know the importance of martial soul quality, soul ring quality, and soul power level to soul masters? Putting aside the first two, just comparing the soul power levels, your grandfather would not be able to beat Yu Tianheng’s grandfather.”
“You!!” Dugu Yan was speechless. She stared at Lu Buliang with her green eyes as cold as a poisonous snake. How could she tolerate others belittling her grandfather like that?
The argument between the two became more and more intense. The topic was no longer about what was most important to a soul master, but shifted to who was more powerful between the two Titled Douluo, Dugu Bo and Yu Yuanzhen.
This made Zhilin quite helpless.
If Heaven Dou Royal Academy offends any of these Titled Douluo, it will be in big trouble.
“Okay. Stop arguing, both of you. Let’s end this topic here.” Education Committee member Zhilin immediately interrupted the debate between the two.
Dugu Yan was thinking about how to fight back against Lu Buliang, so she was not willing to give up. She glared in the direction of Zhilin Education Committee, pointed her finger, and cursed, “Shut up first.”
Suddenly, the whole class fell silent.
Everyone looked at Dugu Yan with a dull expression, having a weird feeling that was both funny and exciting.
Looking at the entire academy, the only student who dares to tell the teacher to shut up is probably the tough woman Dugu Yan, right?
Staring at Zhilin, the education committee member standing on the podium with wide eyes, Dugu Yan finally realized what she had just done. Her mind was empty and she quickly retracted her hand that was pointing at Zhilin, not daring to say another word.
“Then you continue.” Zhilin said with a smile.
“Teacher, I… I didn’t know it was you.” Dugu Yan apologized with an embarrassed look on her face, “I’m sorry, I was so rude. I was thinking about how to refute Lu Buliang. I didn’t want to be interrupted.”
“Yeah. I understand. So I let you continue.” Zhilin gestured with his hand.
When Zhilin heard the student yelling at him, “Shut up,” his first reaction was anger.
Absolute anger.
He was a teacher, he stood on the podium to spread knowledge. He was always the one who told the students to “shut up”, when had he ever been told to “shut up” by a student? He was also a member of the Education Committee, one of the three most senior members of the academy, highly respected. If those two old guys, Meng Shenji and Bai Baoshan, knew that he was scolded by a student, wouldn’t they laugh at him for the rest of his life?
However, seeing that Dugu Yan was thinking hard and trying to convince the other party with her own point of view, Zhilin was moved by her.
Dugu Yan is a stubborn girl, and also a persistent and unyielding control genius.
Zhilin likes such students from the bottom of his heart and is definitely not afraid that Dugu Yan will complain to Dugu Bo.
“Go on.” Zhilin gestured with his hand again.
“I’ve finished speaking, teacher, please speak.”
After answering, Dugu Yan immediately lowered her head, her temper instantly subsided and she became a little more obedient. Although she was as vicious and cruel as her grandfather, she still knew how to respect her elders. She had already scolded the Education Committee, so how could she dare to say another word?
Glancing at Lü Buliang who was sitting behind him, Dugu Yan felt ashamed and angry. She quickly sketched a villain on the white paper with a pen, then stabbed the villain’s chest with the tip of the pen, cursing in a low voice, “You bastard, wait and see how I poison you to death in the practical class later!”
