Inkstone of No Return, Hu Liena's Arena Nemesis
"There's more to the story between him and your teacher than meets the eye..." Flender instinctively wanted to say something in defense of the other person.
Lin Hai raised his hand to interrupt, saying, "His motives for approaching Bibi Dong were never pure."
"Now that you've met so many genius Soul Master, don't you find his theories a bit awkward when you look back at them?"
He pointed to the battle platform below, his gaze sharp as he looked at Flender:
" From Xiao Wu, Zhu Qing, Rong Rong ... to Zhang Ping and Xu Yu, who are at the second level of the millennium, where do their Spirit Ring Configuration conform to his so-called ' Extreme Theory '?"
"I'm not boasting, but in terms of sheer Spiritual Power, no other Soul Master on the entire continent can compare to me." Lin Hai's tone was calm, yet it exuded absolute confidence.
"Even I can't pinpoint the exact year when judging the age of Soul Beast, so where does his theoretical maximum age come from? Haven't you thought about that?"
Flender's mouth dropped open in shock, his voice trembling slightly. "You mean, all of his theories are... are all..."
At this moment, he felt a mix of emotions. He had only thought that Yu Xiaogang's theory was not very reliable, and he had not considered the possibility that it was fabricated or plagiarized.
But after hearing Lin Hai's words, he recalled Yu Xiaogang's past remarks and felt increasingly uneasy...
Those arguments that once sounded brilliant are, upon closer examination, full of flaws.
Those conclusions that he once regarded as gospel seem somewhat pale and powerless in the face of true genius.
Lin Hai did not answer directly, but instead turned his gaze to the graceful figure on the high platform, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
He meticulously recorded the conclusions he had drawn from consulting countless ancient texts, conducting in-depth research over many years, and communicating with Gu Yuena, a group of Ferocious Beast, and even the Sea God, hoping that Bibi Dong could recognize this fact.
As for whether she should reveal it to the public to promote the Spirit Hall, or conceal the truth to preserve Yu Xiaogang's last shred of dignity, he did not intend to interfere.
I can only hope that in this life, bearing the heavy responsibility of the Pope, she can make a decision that truly matches her status!
"The match begins!"
At the host's command, Hu Liena unleashed her Spiritual Power attack once again without hesitation.
However, this time, after the Spiritual Power was released, it was perfectly blocked by an invisible Space Barrier.
Xiao Wu proudly put her hands on her hips, shook her head, and made a funny face, her bright eyes full of mischief:
"That trick doesn't work anymore, does it? Hehehe~"
"Outrageous!" Yan, a die-hard fan of Hu Liena, was instinctively enraged upon seeing this, and his Soul Power surged. "Second Soul Skill: Granite Armor!"
In an instant, a thick layer of rock armor covered his entire body. He leaped into the air with immense force and slammed his fist down at Xiao Wu.
Unfortunately, just as he rushed to within half a meter of Xiao Wu, it was as if he had crashed into an indestructible wall, and he was thrown back by a powerful recoil.
After landing, he staggered back several steps.
Seeing this, Xie Yue flashed behind Yan and precisely pressed the hilt of his Moon Blade against Yan's waist, allowing Yan to barely maintain his balance.
Without hesitation, Xie Yue rushed forward, and at the same time, his fourth Soul Ring suddenly lit up. "Fourth Soul Skill: Enhance!"
Then came another low shout, "Self-Created Soul Skill: Full Moon!"
He unleashes his strongest combat form the moment he makes a move.
As soon as he finished speaking, he began to spin rapidly like a top.
With a sharp whooshing sound, it instantly collided violently with the Space Barrier set up by Xiao Wu.
Visible ripples of Soul Power continuously generated and spread between the barrier and the Moon Blade.
"Fourth Soul Skill: Invincible Golden Body!" Upon seeing this, Xiao Wu immediately moved the Space Barrier around Hu Liena, while she used her Invincible Golden Body to withstand the Full Moon.
She had not learned Heart Separation Control, and having only refined the Inkstone of No Return a day ago, she was unable to apply spatial defense to each of her teammates individually.
Meanwhile, Hu Liena was watching her intently from the sidelines, so she could only use this to trap Hu Liena and free her teammates.
In this way, the Shrek team was temporarily freed from Hu Liena's Spiritual Power threat and went to find their respective opponents.
"Rong Rong, prioritize ensuring Xiao Wu's Soul Power supply."
Zhu Zhuqing left behind a word of advice, and in the next instant, she transformed into a black shadow, rushing towards the rear of the Spirit Hall Team at an astonishing speed.
Her target wasn't Yan, but rather she followed the old tactics used in typical battles—
First, deal with the support Soul Master.
"Understood." Ning Rongrong nodded steadily, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda in her hand shimmering with light.
" Of the Nine Treasures Have Names, the third is called: Soul!"
"Nine Treasures Have Names, the second of which is: Speed!"
Two dazzling beams of light shot precisely at Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, respectively.
Hu Liena launched two sharp mental attacks in succession toward her side, but both were intercepted within the barrier.
Seeing that Yan was about to step forward to help, she quickly stopped him, her voice filled with urgency:
"Never mind me, go stop Zhu Zhuqing!"
Space Barrier can only be broken through spatial techniques or pure brute force. And brute force is not an invisible Spiritual Power, but rather conventional Soul Skill, Soul Power, external objects, and other attack methods.
And these are precisely Hu Liena's weaknesses.
The competition strictly prohibits the use of external objects, and she has no conventional attack Soul Skill, so relying solely on Soul Power to break through is extremely inefficient.
But so what?
While Xiao Wu was fighting off Xie Yue's fierce attacks, she also had to maintain the Space Barrier. Even with Ning Rongrong's assistance, she definitely couldn't hold out for long.
Since we can't wage a blitzkrieg, let's wage a war of attrition.
Lin Hai looked at Hu Liena, who was trapped, and unconsciously touched his nose, looking somewhat embarrassed.
He hadn't thought much about it before, only wanting to give Shrek a countermeasure so they wouldn't lose too badly.
It seems that the spatial abilities of the Inkstone of No Return are quite effective at restraining Hu Liena!
In the Soul Master World, no Soul Master doesn't want to develop in all aspects and be flawless, but in the end, they can often only focus on one or two elements.
For example, Feng Xiaotian is a dual-type attacker with both strong offensive and agile offensive abilities, and Zhu Zhuqing is the same now.
The reason lies in the limitations of the characteristics of Martial Soul.
Lin Hai is, after all, a special case. Among all the beings in the Douluo Continent, both gods and mortals, there is probably only one Gu Yuena who is similar to him.
Hu Liena's Demon Fox Martial Soul was originally of the spiritual type, and after evolving into Sky Fox, she went down this path without turning back.
Her original Martial Soul Fusion Skill, "Demon Charm," could no longer be used due to her Martial Soul Evolution, which further reduced Hu Liena's ability to withstand risks.
While developing conventional Soul Skill would make her more well-rounded and better able to cope with special situations like the one she is in now, it would also be a waste of her exceptional Spiritual Power talent.
Although her current Soul Power Level is far superior to that of her previous life, she no longer has regular Soul Skill and no External Soul Bone to use.
Faced with the Space Barrier cast by Xiao Wu, one can only wait or consume a massive amount of Soul Power to break it.
In this match alone, Lin Hai's Spirit Ring Pill and Immortal Herb Elixir Pill were essentially a trap for Hu Liena!
