Mutual protection

Zhu Zhuqing's Self-Created Soul Skill truly surprised Chen Feng.

Prior to this, Zhu Zhuqing's First Soul Skill, Shadow Escape, and second Soul Skill Breakthrough Strike, could be used in combination to inflict significant damage on enemies.

However, this kind of cooperation is limited by the venue; Zhu Zhuqing will be greatly weakened in places without shade.

Furthermore, at that time, Zhu Zhuqing could not move among unconnected shadows, making her movements extremely easy to detect. She only had a chance to take advantage of the chaos during large-scale Team Battle.

Secondly, Breakthrough Strike will place a considerable burden on Zhu Zhuqing, severely limiting her ability to continue fighting. Furthermore, Zhu Zhuqing cannot launch an attack while in Shadow Escape, otherwise she will be revealed directly.

These are the two problems Zhu Zhuqing faced in her previous battles.

The first problem has now been partially solved. Zhu Zhuqing obtained her Third Spirit Skill by absorbing the Soul Bone of the Shadow Serpent. The effect of this Soul Skill is that she can jump between unconnected shadows, which makes her whereabouts more difficult to detect to a certain extent.

However, the limitations imposed by the venue still exist, and Zhu Zhuqing's next Soul Skill could be considered in this direction.

Chen Feng originally thought that the second problem also required a Soul Ring to solve, but he did not expect that Zhu Zhuqing, under the Grandmaster's special training, successfully comprehended a Self-Created Soul Skill, which solved the problem.

According to Zhu Zhuqing, the Self-Created Soul Skill Shadow Strike that she comprehended allows her to directly attack enemies while in Shadow Escape mode, and this attack is also imbued with some shadow power.

The difference between this and the Breakthrough Strike is that it involves less shadow power, so it won't put much strain on Zhu Zhuqing.

However, compared to regular attacks, Shadow Strike deals significantly more damage.

In other words, Zhu Zhuqing can now use Shadow Strike as a regular fighting method. Her attacks while in Shadow Escape state are extremely Guimi and virtually impossible to defend against.

The high-damage, high-load Breakthrough Strike serves as a burst damage method, thus completing the initial formation of Zhu Zhuqing's combat system.

"I never imagined you could comprehend such a powerful Self-Created Soul Skill. You're truly remarkable," Chen Feng praised sincerely.

In the Manga, Zhu Zhuqing also underwent special training, the Grandmaster's training for her was catching fish with her bare hands.

Judging from the content of this special training, Chen Feng guessed that the Grandmaster wanted to improve Zhu Zhuqing's attack accuracy and her grasp of the timing of her attacks.

Fish are very alert creatures; they will swim away at the slightest disturbance, leaving anglers helpless. Catching them by hand requires sharp eyesight, fast hands, and quick reflexes.

Therefore, catching fish with bare hands is indeed a good training method, and it can also help improve swimming skills.

Later, with Tang San's assistance, Zhu Zhuqing successfully broke through 1,008 Hu Yanli on Hu Yanli's body and sealed them. Shortly after sealing the acupoints, she promptly broke through Hu Yanli's exposed Hu Yanli and won the match between the Shrek Academy and Elephant Armor Academy. This was the result of the fish-catching training.

At that time, Hu Yanli had already used the Berserk Fusion, absorbing three Soul Ancestor level teammates to transform into Obelisk the Tormentor. He also used the Head Soul Bone provided to him by the Spirit Hall, thus eliminating all the other members of the Shrek Academy.

Even so, Zhu Zhuqing still managed to defeat the Obelisk the Tormentor under Tang San's guidance, which can be considered her highlight moment.

However, Zhu Zhuqing has now embraced the shadows, and with the Grandmaster's ability to teach according to aptitude, he naturally wouldn't let Zhu Zhuqing catch any fish anymore, so the Self-Created Soul Skill Shadow Strike came into being.

The person catching the fish became Meng Yiran, which directly led to the creation of her Self-Created Soul Skill, the Snake Transformation Method.

It must be said that this Grandmaster's teaching level is quite high. The special training content for his students is cleverly arranged, far surpassing the running Grandmaster in the Original Work.

Upon hearing Chen Feng's praise, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes crinkled with a smile. She took Chen Feng's arm and walked off the Soul Fighting Platform.

During this process, the only two sensations in Chen Feng's mind were "big" and "soft," and he even felt light and airy when walking.

Below the Soul Fighting Arena, Ning Rongrong, who was about to begin Two-on-Two Soul Fighting, curled her lip.

Does being big make you amazing?

She looked down at her toes, feeling a little dejected.

Big seems really impressive.

But then Ning Rongrong saw Gu Yue Ling beside her, and her confidence was instantly restored.

"What's wrong?" Gu Yue Ling felt Ning Rongrong's gaze and looked over in confusion.

"No, it's nothing," Ning Rongrong said, her head lowered.

Just then, the Spirit Fighting Arena notified them that their opponents had been matched.

Ning Rongrong quickly said to Gu Yue Ling:

"Let's get on stage quickly, the Soul Fighting is about to begin."

"Okay." Gu Yue Ling's attention was successfully diverted, and she and Ning Rongrong stepped onto the Soul Fighting Platform together.

Chen Feng and Zhu Zhuqing arrived at the spectator area. He was looking forward to this Soul Fighting, as he wanted to know what Gu Yue Ling had gained during her special training.

Ning Rongrong didn't learn any Self-Created Soul Skill during the special training, but she had become much more proficient in her Four Orifice Constant Heart. Now, assisting the four targets separately was a relatively easy task for her.

When mastered to a high level, this method of Heart Separation Control is actually not much different from Self-Created Soul Skill, especially for Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Master, as Heart Separation Control allows them to allocate amplification more precisely.

A more refined allocation means that, without changing the amplification effect, the Soul Power of Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Master can be sustained for longer, which will cause the scales of victory to continuously tip in their favor.

As Ning Rongrong and Gu Yue Ling stepped onto the Soul Fighting Arena, their opponents were already in position on the opposite side.

They were two black-haired youths who looked very similar. They were tall and strong, and when they stood together, they were like a wall.

At this point, the host began introducing both sides, "Next, let's welcome the Glazed Golden Lion Combination and their opponents, the Absolute Defense Combination who have already achieved nine consecutive victories in the Two-on-Two Soul Fighting Battle."

Nine consecutive wins? Chen Feng raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

To achieve a nine-game winning streak in a place like the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena clearly demonstrates considerable strength, and one must possess a unique skill.

The surrounding audience also got excited, and the veteran audience members even shouted the names of the two members of the Absolute Defense Combination, clearly indicating that these two were regulars in the Great Soul Arena.

Go Shi Brothers!

"Go Shi Mo! Go Shi Mo too! Seriously, these two names are really hard to tell apart."

"It's said that these two brothers both come from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

Hearing the voices of the other audience members, Chen Feng was somewhat taken aback. He hadn't expected that Ning Rongrong and Gu Yue Ling would encounter these two people.

In the Original Work, the brothers Shi Mo and Shi Mo were members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Team Academy, and both of them possessed the Martial Soul of the Mystic Turtle.

The Mystic Turtle Martial Soul is known as the number one Defense Type Beast Spirit in the world. Its status among Defense Type Martial Soul is comparable to that of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon among Assault Type.

Of course, that's the old term. Nowadays, Defense Type Soul Master have a new name: Shield Guard.

They took on the responsibility of Core Protection, and were no longer just rigid figures who held their positions by physical strength.

After learning that Ning Rongrong and Gu Yue Ling's opponents in this Soul Fighting would be the Shi Brothers, Chen Feng's interest in the match grew even stronger.

Officially, the Shi Brothers are from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and will most likely be Chen Feng's team's future opponents, so it's natural to take this opportunity to learn more about them.

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.

Personally, Chen Feng was also curious about what changes his Thesis on the Soul Master's role had brought to the two brothers.

On the Soul Fighting stage, Ning Rongrong and Gu Yue Ling got a general idea of their opponents' situation from the shouts of the surrounding audience.

Ning Rongrong said to Gu Yue Ling with some concern:

"Golden Lion, they seem a bit difficult to deal with."

When Gu Yue Ling came to register for the Spirit Fighting Arena this time, she changed her code name to Holy Radiance Golden Lion instead of the Golden Mane Lion King that Chen Feng had casually given her before.

The new codename sounds much better now, and it even has a sacred feel to it, Gu Yue Ling really likes.

She didn't seem to care about Ning Rongrong's worries, and smiled as she said:

"Don't worry, as long as the opponent doesn't use that disgusting tactic like so-and-so, they won't be a match for me."

Gu Yue Ling's words exuded strong confidence. The two brothers opposite her exchanged a glance and smiled, saying:

"Then you might be disappointed; our battle tactics are rather disgusting."

"Oh? Is that so? Then I'd like to see just how disgusting it is." Gu Yue Ling sneered.

She couldn't beat Chen Feng because Chen Feng's heart was too tainted, and both of them were restricted, but that doesn't mean she wasn't strong.

If both players go all out, it's hard to say who will win.

Besides, even if she can't beat Chen Feng, surely she can beat these two in front of her?

Without further ado, Gu Yue Ling directly activated her Martial Soul Possession. After the host announced the start and left, she charged towards the Shi Brothers.

At the same time, a beam of colorful light entered Gu Yue Ling's body, greatly increasing her speed, and she quickly arrived in front of her opponent.

At this moment, the previous beam of colorful light disappeared, and a new beam of colorful light was injected into Gu Yue Ling's body.

The Shi Brothers didn't stand idly by. As Gu Yue Ling charged towards them, they each summoned a shield and held it up in front of them, waiting for Gu Yue Ling to arrive.

"Clang!" Gu Yue Ling threw a punch, causing Shi Mo's body to shake violently.

"That's a really tough idea, let's join forces!" Shi Mo shouted.

"Good!" The Third Soul Ring on Shi Mo's body lit up, and a small fragment immediately fell off his shield, flew towards Shi Mo, and stuck to his chest.

At the same time, Shi Mo did the same thing; a small piece of his shield broke off and stuck to his brother Shi Mo's chest.

Gu Yue Ling ignored her opponent's movements and threw another punch at Shi Mo, but this time Shi Mo only swayed slightly.

However, the Shi Mo next to it, which had not been attacked, also shook slightly.

Gu Yue Ling noticed this detail, and a thoughtful look appeared in her eyes. She then changed her target and punched the Shi Mo.

The punch was powerful and heavy, but the Shi Mo only swayed slightly, as did the Shi Mo next to it.

"Attack sharing?" Gu Yue Ling quickly understood.

"That's right." Shi Mo chuckled. "We have to thank the pioneer of Biological Pioneer for guiding us. It allowed us to break free from our previous limitations and find the true path for the Shield Guard role."

The Shi Mo beside him chuckled, "To be honest, I really wish I could meet that gentleman. It would be even better if I could stay by his side and listen to his teachings at any time."

Gu Yue Ling gritted her teeth, "That wicked devil!"

"What did you say?" The Shi Mo brothers' faces turned ugly. "You are also Biological Soul Master, enjoying the benefits of the pioneers' guidance. How can you say such a thing?"

"Exactly! Brother, we need to teach her a lesson."

After saying that, the two brothers' Second Soul Ring lit up simultaneously, and their shields were covered with a layer of gray light.

When Gu Yue Ling threw another punch, she felt a counterforce coming from the shield.

This is the brothers' second Soul Skill: Shield Counter.

"It's no use, little girl. You can't break through our defenses. Even if another Battle Spirit Master comes, it'll be the same," Shi Mo said.

"That's right. As long as you admit your mistake and surrender, my brother and I won't make things difficult for you. You should know that someone was once so badly injured by our fighting style that they vomited blood and had to be rushed to the Great Soul Arena for treatment. You should think it over carefully," Shi Mo continued.

Gu Yue Ling completely ignored what they said.

She seemed to have gone mad, relentlessly smashing at the two of them, completely unconcerned that her attacks were all blocked by the shield.

Seeing that Gu Yue Ling was in trouble, Ning Rongrong wanted to step forward to help, even if it was just to distract the opponent.

But the moment she moved, the two brothers opposite her noticed.

Taking advantage of the gap in Gu Yue Ling's attack, Shi Mo raised his hand and threw a flying shield over, Ning Rongrong quickly dodged.

Shi Mo threw out at this moment was a shield formed by his Soul Power, a product of his First Soul Skill, Spirit Power Shield Creation.

While enduring Gu Yue Ling's attacks, he shouted to Ning Rongrong:

"Little girl, you'd better stay put. Support-type characters shouldn't get involved in the battle."

Ning Rongrong gritted her teeth, intending to continue approaching the three, but Gu Yue Ling stopped her.

"No need to come, I can handle it."

This sounded like she was just being stubborn, but Gu Yue Ling then added:

"They've already lost."

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong and the two Shi brothers were both taken aback.

Have we already lost? How come we didn't know we had already lost? This question arose in the minds of both Shi brothers.

Shi Mo couldn't help but ask:

Where did we lose?

Gu Yue Ling remained silent, only continuing to throw punches.

The continuous clanging of metal echoed across the Soul Fighting.

After a while, Gu Yue Ling stopped. Shi Mo was about to speak when he suddenly felt a numbness all over his body.
