Bibi Dong noticed his expression and asked, "What is it?"
Lu Chen opened his eyes and said with some hesitation, "Teacher, this soul skill... is a bit strange."
Yue Guan asked curiously, "Strange? Is it not a lightning-type soul skill?"
Lu Chen shook his head.
Gui Mei asked, "Speed-type?"
Lu Chen still shook his head.
Yue Guan was even more puzzled. "Then it couldn't be a flight-type, could it? Don't you already know how to fly?"
Lu Chen thought for a moment and said, "I can't say it's completely unrelated to the Azure Thunder Dragon Hawk, but I can say there isn't a single similarity."
When these words were spoken, the three of them were stunned for a moment.
It was common knowledge among all soul masters that soul ring skills were usually related to the abilities of the soul beast itself.
Even if the soul skill changed due to the characteristics of the martial soul, one could usually see at least a shadow of the soul beast's original abilities.
The Azure Thunder Dragon Hawk was, after all, a dragon hawk, possessing obvious traits like lightning, flight, and dragon blood.
Yet, the soul skill Lu Chen obtained led him to describe it as having "not a single similarity."
Bibi Dong's eyes flickered as she said, "Explain clearly."
Lu Chen nodded and said earnestly, "My first soul skill is called Void Dragon Form."
"After using it, I can completely transform myself into a gaseous cloud."
"In this state, I can become immune to all physical attacks and the vast majority of energy attacks."
Yue Guan's expression changed.
Gui Mei also looked at Lu Chen.
Bibi Dong did not interrupt, only signaling for him to continue.
Lu Chen continued, "Furthermore, after transforming into a gaseous cloud, I also possess a terrifying devouring ability."
After finishing, even Lu Chen felt that this soul skill was truly unlike the Azure Thunder Dragon Hawk.
The most obvious abilities of the Azure Thunder Dragon Hawk should have been lightning attacks and flight speed.
Yet, the focus of his first soul skill was on void-transformation and devouring.
Although the name contained the word "Dragon," which might have a slight connection to the Azure Thunder Dragon Hawk's dragon bloodline, aside from that, it was indeed difficult to find many similarities.
Yue Guan couldn't help but say, "Immune to all physical attacks? And immune to the vast majority of energy attacks? Xiao Chen, are you sure you didn't misinterpret it?"
Lu Chen shook his head and said, "I don't think so."
Bibi Dong looked at him and said directly, "Demonstrate it."
She did not rush to judge.
One would only know the true effect of a soul skill after seeing it for oneself.
Lu Chen understood this as well.
He stood up, maintaining his martial soul avatar state, and that deep purple soul ring slowly rose beneath his feet.
Then, he whispered, "First Soul Skill: Void Dragon Form."
As soon as the words fell, the purple soul ring shone brilliantly.
Lu Chen's body underwent a rapid change.
Under the watchful eyes of Bibi Dong and the others, he seemed to lose his fixed form; his body's outline blurred rapidly, and he immediately transformed into a dark purple gaseous cloud.
The cloud was not small.
In just a few moments, it expanded to several dozen meters in size, slowly drifting into the air.
Dark purple light flowed vaguely within the cloud; it did not look like ordinary mist, but rather a special form composed of both soul power and his martial soul.
Lu Chen's body was no longer visible.
Only that dark purple, nebula-like gaseous cloud hovered in the air.
Yue Guan looked up, his eyes full of astonishment.
"This really is... completely turned into a cloud?"
Gui Mei said, "There is no physical aura."
Bibi Dong was observing as well.
She could feel Lu Chen's soul power fluctuations within the cloud, but if one were to look for an attack target, this cloud of mist had almost no body structure in the normal sense.
Bibi Dong raised her hand, her fingertips casually condensing a beam of soul power.
She did not use too much strength, controlling the attack intensity to roughly the level of a Soul Emperor.
The next moment, the soul power beam shot straight toward the dark purple cloud in the air.
Yue Guan and Gui Mei both stared at the beam.
An attack at the Soul Emperor level was naturally nothing to them, but for Lu Chen, who had just obtained his first soul ring, this was already a test of extremely high intensity.
However, after the beam struck the cloud, no collision occurred at all.
It passed straight through.
Just like passing through a patch of ordinary mist.
The dark purple cloud was not dispersed, nor did it show any damage, and there was certainly no reaction indicating that Lu Chen had been injured.
A look of distinct surprise finally appeared in Bibi Dong's eyes.
Yue Guan was also stunned for a moment: "It really passed through?"
Gui Mei whispered: "It caused no damage."
Lu Chen's voice drifted out from the cloud.
His voice sounded somewhat ethereal, yet it remained perfectly clear.
"Teacher, you can try a physical attack."
"The attack power can be a bit stronger."
Upon hearing this, Yue Guan immediately became interested.
As a Titled Douluo, he had seen countless soul skills, but this was truly the first time he had witnessed a soul skill that could turn a body entirely into a gaseous cloud and allow attacks to pass straight through it.
Yue Guan chuckled: "Xiao Chen, then your Grandpa Ju is going to give it a try."
Bibi Dong did not stop him.
She also wanted to see just how far Lu Chen's immunity to physical attacks could go with this soul skill.
Yue Guan raised his hand, and his martial soul instantly appeared.
The Heaven-Reaching Chrysanthemum bloomed in his hand, golden radiance flowing, and nine soul rings rose in sequence.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black.
The moment the aura of a Titled Douluo emerged, the surrounding air seemed to grow several degrees heavier.
Yue Guan looked at the dark purple cloud in the air and said: "Xiao Chen, here I come, be careful."
The next moment, the sixth soul ring on his body lit up.
"Sixth soul skill, Golden Stamens Flowing Rosy Clouds."
As Yue Guan's voice fell, a massive number of golden petals flew out from the Heaven-Reaching Chrysanthemum.
Those petals appeared thin and light, yet they were as hard as iron, each one carrying sharp fluctuations of soul power as they swept toward the dark purple cloud in a dense swarm.
If this were an ordinary soul master, such an attack would be enough to shred their body to pieces.
But when the golden petals rushed into the cloud, the result was no different from Bibi Dong's soul power beam just moments ago.
They all passed through.
No collision.
No resistance.
No sensation of hitting a solid object.
The petals flew out from the other side of the cloud, maintaining their original trajectory as if there were nothing in the middle at all.
Yue Guan raised an eyebrow.
He was somewhat unwilling to accept this.
Although he had already seen the soul power beam pass through the cloud, energy attacks and physical attacks were, after all, different.
Now that even his own sixth soul skill was completely ineffective, it had somewhat exceeded his expectations.
Yue Guan flicked his fingers, and even more golden petals gathered once again.
This time, the petal attack was even denser than before.
They pierced toward the cloud from different directions, almost covering the entire area around the dark purple cloud.
Yet the result remained the same.
Every single petal passed through without exception.
The dark purple cloud flowed slowly in mid-air, not even showing any significant ripples from the attack.
Lu Chen's voice came from within the cloud: "Grandpa Ju, I didn't feel any pain."
