Douluo: Dream Overlord

Chapter 21 Battle Against Heaven Royal Academy Team 2

On the other side, the stone mill and Fu Kai were constantly colliding, clearly giving each other a massage.

They attacked each other's shields one after another, not even bothering to release their spirit rings.

As the most resilient and powerful Soul Masters in the early stages, they were well aware of how difficult the other was to deal with.

Defensive Soul Masters are a rare type on the continent, and their effect in a team is enormous.

Having a defensive Soul Master in the team means the rear is safe, allowing offensive and agile Soul Masters to fight with confidence.

Even in the later stages of the original story, defensive Soul Masters at the Soul Saint or even Soul Douluo level could still fight against multiple opponents, and could even withstand Title Douluo for a period of time.

As for defensive Soul Masters at the Title Douluo level, they are already invincible among their peers, truly indestructible, able to wear down their opponents to death.

If one has sufficient soul power, one can even put up a fight against a Limit Douluo.

Defensive Soul Masters have truly remained popular throughout the Douluo Continent.

Both Shi Mo and Fu Kai understood that they had no way to deal with each other, and that even using their soul skills would be a waste of soul power.

It would be better to conserve soul energy to recover physical strength and wait for teammates to call for help so that reinforcements can arrive.

And so, while the two appeared to be fighting passionately, they were actually taking a break and relaxing.

Dugu Yan still had time to confront the two control-type Soul Masters of the opposing side.

Finally, unable to resist the changing rhythm of the situation, the opponent chose to strike first.

"First Soul Skill - Spirit Whip!"

As Zhang Lingjiao drank, her first spirit ring shone, and the vines around her grew rapidly, whipping towards the two of them like springs.

"First Soul Skill - Ocean Spiral Spin!"

Li Hui's first soul skill shone brightly, and the conch shell spun rapidly, rushing towards the two like a spinning top.

Seeing their teammates being attacked, the turtle brothers were too busy to do anything but watch and hold their breath.

"Martial Soul Possession - Azure Phosphorous Serpent!"

Dugu Yanjiao completed the martial soul possession, and the possession effect of the beast martial soul was displayed.

After being possessed by a martial spirit, her body became flexible, and her legs merged into a snake tail to move forward.

Green diamond-shaped scales sprouted from between his brows, and his eyes turned sharp and cold, exuding an inhuman aura.

"My goodness! Isn't that a snake demon?!"

Looking at Dugu Yan's appearance, Shi Guang was speechless.

At this moment, the other party really looked exactly like the snake spirit inside the gourd.

"First Soul Skill - Poison Mist!"

Dugu Yan's first soul ring shone brightly, and purple poisonous mist spewed from her mouth.

The vines shot by Zhang's soul technique withered the moment they came into contact with the poisonous mist.

It withered and fell to the ground a few seconds later, demonstrating the venom of the Jade Phosphorus Snake.

Now that Dugu Yan has neutralized Zhang Ling's attack, it's clear that Time will now have to face Li Hui's conch shell.

Time narrowed its eyes as it watched the conch shell spinning toward it.

"My attacks are currently all mental attacks, and I have difficulty resisting physical attacks."

Looks like I'll have to research creating my own soul skills.

Time passed, and the conch shell was already upon us.

The fighters stopped attacking and stared at Shi Guang, curious about how Shi Guang, with his spiritual martial soul, would resist the conch.

Shi Guang took a deep breath and squatted down in a horse stance.

As he channeled his soul power into his hand, white soul power covered his fist.

Time unleashed a powerful punch, its fist imbued with soul power colliding with the spinning conch shell.

Ding!

As a piercing, cutting sound echoed through the arena, everyone frowned.

This kind of trashy sound penetrates the ears and goes straight to the brain; it's really unpleasant.

As the conch shell collided with the power of time, the friction gradually decreased, and it eventually came to a stop.

Shi Guang lowered his arm, looked at his palm, and frowned; his arm was trembling slightly.

Even though the high-speed spinning attack of the conch was blocked by soul power, the accompanying impact was still transmitted to the arm through the soul power.

"This kind of impact is similar to a true injury, and it can be applied to the Soul Master through Soul Power."

Shi Guang pondered: "Impact force is different from soul force; it's more like an advanced physical force, similar in nature to mental force and sound waves."

Extremely difficult to block with soul power; martial souls possessing this quality are usually of very high quality.

"What! He actually blocked my attack with his soul power!"

Li Hui stared at Shi Guang in disbelief, as if he were looking at a monster.

Everyone looked at the boy who was deep in thought with surprise.

"They actually used their soul power to defend against the attack! Your team has a remarkable little guy!"

Wang Shuo saw through the trick and said solemnly, "Soul power is the foundation of every soul master, and it can be used for fighting, cultivating, and recovering from injuries."

However, at lower levels, the quality of soul power is not high, so its effects are not ideal or comprehensive.

This little guy is actually able to condense almost solidified soul power at such a young age. You should know that even some Soul Masters don't have such soul power.

You guys really struck gold! It seems like not joining our second team was the right choice!

Upon hearing this, Yu Tianheng was surprised, but his response was: "Hmph! This is the strength a team member should have! That Oslo should have been a bastard long ago!"

"Oh, that Oslo, he came to see me last night and said he wanted to join the second team."

Seeing that Yu Tianheng was in a good mood, Wang Shuo smiled and said, "Since he was your former teammate, then I'll take him in."

"Whatever you feel like."

Yu Tianheng's attacks slowed down somewhat, clearly pleased by what the other party had said.

Even though Osro has left the team, he is still a former teammate and senior figure.

He hoped the other party could find a good place to go.

"Oh? You actually blocked the attack with your soul power? What a scary little brother~"

Dugu Yan said with a smile.

"Wow, Shiguang! Are you really a junior compared to us? Your soul power is even higher than mine!"

Yu Feng had already swooped down and was fighting with the black cat, while she stared wide-eyed at Shi Guang.

Shi Guang took a deep breath and said with some helplessness, "I really had no choice just now. I have no means of defense against physical attacks."

"It's okay~ You can learn from the academy's practical training instructors after the competition~"

Dugu Yan said with a smile, "These training instructors are all skilled in various martial arts and weapons."

As a member of a team, you can choose a martial art and a weapon to learn.

"Oh? Then I'll go take a look later."

Upon hearing this, Shi Guang's expression shifted.

He glanced at the conch shell on the ground; judging from the collision just now, it was clearly incredibly sturdy.

As expected, Li Hui wasn't worried about the conch shell getting damaged. He recalled the conch shell, and it slowly turned back towards him.

"This conch shell generates its attack power and the impact force associated with the attack through rotation."

Shi Guang analyzed as he looked at the other party: "Judging from the attack just now, this conch can only attack in a straight line, and the retrieval process cannot be accelerated."

It seems that this is the opponent's weakness: the need for accumulation speed and the slow recovery speed make the opponent a type that can be killed in one hit during the battle.

If they can't severely injure their opponent or discover a flaw in their martial soul, then the opponent can only rely on their teammates' help to create time to stack speed.

With this in mind, Shi Guang decided to strike first.
