Displaying Soul Skills

Chapter 21: Displaying Soul Skills

Everyone's gaze fell upon Long Chen.

When Qin Ming learned that Long Chen, at only eleven years old, had reached Soul Power Level thirty-two, he became intensely interested in him.

Such talent was extremely rare, even across the entire Douluo Continent.

Qin Ming was also a gifted Soul Master, possessing the mutated martial soul Blazing Fire Wolf.

Among Soul Masters of the same age, he had always been an outstanding figure, hailed as a genius Soul Master.

But compared to Long Chen, his soul power progression speed was clearly inferior.

When he learned that Long Chen's martial soul was the mutated martial soul Dark Night Demonic Lute, Qin Ming became even more interested.

Today, he had the opportunity to understand him better.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Long Chen stepped forward.

He had long known that upon entering Heaven Dou Royal Academy, he would inevitably have to display his soul skills.

However, before this, he had already devised a plan.

Ye Tianming had told him not to reveal the Devour Ability of his First Soul Skill in public.

But his First Soul Skill not only possessed Devour Ability but also powerful offensive and deterrent strength.

It would be fine to display it in front of outsiders, as long as he concealed its Devour Ability.

Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan exchanged glances.

They knew Long Chen's strength was not bad, but they had not yet truly witnessed his soul skills and were looking forward to it.

Especially Yu Tianheng.

He had been surprised the first time he learned of Long Chen's Soul Power Level.

He hadn't expected this youth, several years younger than himself, to possess the same soul power.

It was important to note that he possessed the top-tier beast martial soul Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, an extremely formidable existence.

Amidst everyone's anticipation, Long Chen released his Dark Night Demonic Lute Martial Soul and his two yellow and one purple soul rings.

A demonic lute floated before Long Chen, emitting a heart-palpitating black light.

The First Soul Ring suddenly flashed.

As Long Chen's fingers nimbly plucked the lute strings, wisps of black mist, as if guided by an invisible hand, overflowed from the Dark Night Demonic Lute's deep body. They then churned and condensed in mid-air.

The mist was not only as dense as ink but also contained an indescribable sense of oppression and mystery, as if it could devour all surrounding light and sound, dimming the entire space.

The mass of mist strangely twisted and deformed, transforming in the blink of an eye into a colossus with a human face and a sheep's body.

It had two sharp horns, sharp fangs, and claws.

Under its armpit grew a large eye, glowing with a blood-red light, exuding an aura of greed and destruction. Under its gaze, people felt a chill, and their souls seemed to be devoured by that look.

Although its massive body was only constituted by mist, it emitted a tangible sense of pressure.

Seeing this, everyone was shocked, even feeling a trace of fear.

Even Qin Ming couldn't help but show surprise, secretly marveling at the weirdness of Long Chen's soul skill.

Dugu Yan, both surprised and curious, couldn't help but ask:

"Long Chen, what ferocious beast is this? It's so weird!"

Long Chen restrained his First Soul Skill, and the colossus disappeared.

"This is a Taotie, a legendary exotic beast. When I use this soul skill, I can deter enemies mentally and psychologically through the lute sound."

"Taotie? I don't think I've heard of it. But its deterrent power is indeed powerful. As a teammate, I'm a little scared, let alone an opponent."

Osler chimed in:

"Yeah, it looks too terrifying. Even though it's just an illusion, it's enough to deter opponents."

"Such a powerful soul skill, if used in a team battle, it could psychologically suppress the opponent from the moment it appears. This is very advantageous for us."

Everyone marveled at Long Chen's First Soul Skill.

Qin Ming nodded and said:

"Long Chen, show everyone your Second Soul Skill."

"Okay."

Immediately, the Second Soul Ring on Long Chen's body lit up.

His fingers gently brushed the lute strings of the Dark Night Demonic Lute again.

This time, the lute sound became melodious and lingering, like a clear spring in the mountains, or like the gentle starlight in the night sky.

As the lute sound flowed, a strange picture gradually appeared before everyone's eyes.

A nine-tailed fox, with red and white fur and nine fluffy tails, slowly appeared beside Long Chen.

Its eyes were like pure gems, shining with wisdom and mystery.

The yingying sound emanating from its mouth seemed to carry an irresistible magic, making people feel dazed.

Its appearance formed a stark contrast with the terrifying human-faced sheep-bodied glutton from before.

Although it looked much more "normal" in appearance, the noble and sacred aura emanating from its body still deeply shocked everyone present.

Qin Ming exclaimed:

"This is the finest of fox-kind, a legendary existence, the Nine-Tailed Fox."

Long Chen nodded.

"Correct. When using this soul skill, I can use it to bewilder hearts, causing opponents whose mental power is lower than mine to fall into illusions and be under my control."

Ye Lingling smiled at Long Chen, a silent understanding passing between them.

She knew that opponents whose mental power did not exceed Long Chen's by more than ten times would be restricted by this soul skill.

However, Long Chen did not want to reveal his true strength too early in front of everyone, deliberately concealing it.

Yu Tianxin, Dugu Yan, and others exchanged glances, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Such a control-type soul skill was also quite formidable.

Qin Ming couldn't help but look at Long Chen with renewed admiration.

"This is truly incredible!"

Dugu Yan broke the silence first.

"Long Chen, your first two soul skills are so unique and powerful. If used properly in actual combat, our school team's strength will definitely increase significantly. I can't wait to know what your third soul skill is."

Long Chen restrained his second soul skill, and the Nine-Tailed Fox disappeared from everyone's sight.

Immediately after, the third soul ring on his body lit up.

His fingers plucked the lute strings, and wisps of green mist were released from the Dark Night Demonic Lute, condensing into a Xuanwu phantom, a combination of turtle and snake, in the blink of an eye.

The massive Xuanwu phantom enveloped Long Chen along with the Dark Night Demonic Lute Martial Soul.

Seeing this bizarre scene, everyone was once again shocked.

Shi Mo's eyes widened, and he exclaimed:

"Is this the legendary mythical beast Xuanwu?"

Long Chen nodded.

"Correct. This is the Xuanwu, a combination of turtle and snake. Compared to your Martial Soul, the Mystic Turtle, it not only possesses powerful defensive capabilities but also considerable offensive power. It can be considered an offense-defense integration soul skill."

"A perfect Offense-Defense Integration!"

Yu Tianheng, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

"Long Chen, I wonder how your spirit skill compares to Shi Mo's Turtle Body Defense?"

Shi Mo joked:

"Boss, my Turtle Body Defense can't withstand the violent attacks of your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. Judging by your tone, you want to test the defensive power of Long Chen's spirit skill?"

Hearing this, everyone turned their gaze to Yu Tianheng and Long Chen in unison.
