Another Effect of the Void Dragon Form

Watching the sharp petals hurtling toward him, Lu Chen raised his arms, swinging them directly to intercept.

With his Leugocyte martial soul possessed, the strength of his arms far exceeded that of an ordinary person, and they were further protected by armor-like plating; every swing carried immense power, colliding repeatedly with the incoming petals.

Petal after petal was knocked aside by his strikes.

However, Yue Guan's first soul skill was not so simple. Those petals were not merely sharp; their speed and impact force were equally formidable.

Every time Lu Chen blocked an attack, his body shuddered, and his feet were forced to retreat.

Bang, bang, bang!

After several consecutive collisions, Lu Chen had already been pushed back several steps.

Yue Guan looked at him, his tone remaining relaxed: "Not bad. Being able to block them head-on shows that your physical strength is indeed exaggerated. However, relying solely on brute force won't allow you to block every attack."

Lu Chen naturally understood this.

If he continued to block head-on like this, he could still hold out, but it would be meaningless.

Yue Guan's soul skill was merely a probe; if he couldn't even counter this, there was no point in truly testing his own combat strength.

Thinking of this, the second soul ring beside Lu Chen lit up.

The black soul ring emitted a heavy radiance, and the aura belonging to a ten-thousand-year soul ring instantly became apparent.

"Second soul skill, Rain of Creation."

As Lu Chen's voice fell, the dragon tail behind him unfurled.

The next moment, a massive volume of purple, homing, piercing light bullets was released from behind him.

The number of those light bullets was immense, carrying a strong aura of penetration as they rapidly covered a large area.

Once they locked onto their target, they bombarded Yue Guan from different directions.

The entire battlefield was almost completely shrouded by the purple light bullets.

Watching the attacks raining down from the sky, the interest in Yue Guan's eyes grew even stronger.

He could clearly feel the power contained within these light bullets.

It was not a strength that an ordinary soul skill could possess; it was difficult to even compare it to the offensive soul skills of an average Soul King.

More importantly, this soul skill had a large area of effect and possessed a homing ability; if faced by a soul master of the same level, it would be almost impossible to dodge.

Yue Guan let out a loud laugh: "Well done!"

Facing the dense barrage of light bullets, he did not dodge, but instead raised the Celestial Chrysanthemum in his hand.

His fourth soul ring lit up.

"Fourth soul skill, Golden Stamen Flowing Light."

As the soul skill activated, a barrier unfolded before Yue Guan.

Golden light flowed and transformed into a defense, intercepting all the incoming purple light bullets.

Boom, boom, boom!

The Rain of Creation fell continuously upon the barrier, erupting in a series of incessant roars.

The piercing and annihilation-tearing effects carried by the purple light bullets constantly battered the barrier, causing the golden flowing light to ripple in waves.

However, Yue Guan was a Title Douluo, after all.

Even though he had not used too much power, the defense formed by his fourth soul skill was enough to steadily block Lu Chen's attack.

Watching his second soul skill being blocked, Lu Chen was not disappointed.

It would be strange if Yue Guan couldn't even block an attack of this level.

What he cared about was how much pressure the Rain of Creation could truly exert.

A moment later, the purple light bullets filling the sky gradually dissipated.

Yue Guan retracted his barrier, his gaze filled with clear appreciation.

"This soul skill is very strong."

He looked at Lu Chen and evaluated: "Its attack power is enough to rival the sixth soul ring of a Soul Emperor."

Hearing this, Gui Mei, who was standing to the side, also nodded slightly.

For Lu Chen to unleash a second soul skill that could elicit such an evaluation from Yue Guan, given his soul power of only level twenty-six, was already astonishing enough.

If Lu Chen's soul power level continued to rise in the future, the power of this soul skill would inevitably increase along with it.

Lu Chen did not stop because of this praise.

The first soul ring beside him lit up.

"First soul skill, Void Dragon Form."

The next moment, Lu Chen's physical form began to change.

He switched from his martial soul possession state into a gaseous cloud, which rapidly expanded in all directions.

The cloud permeated the area, quickly enveloping the entire battlefield within it.

Yue Guan stood amidst the clouds, raising an eyebrow slightly.

The air was filled with Lu Chen's aura.

It was a peculiar sensation. Although Lu Chen's soul power was not particularly strong, once he transformed into this gaseous cloud, his presence became scattered and blurred.

Yue Guan could sense Lu Chen's existence, yet he could not pinpoint his exact location as he would with an ordinary soul master.

Of course, if Yue Guan were to use his true strength, breaking through this would not be difficult.

However, in this test, he would not do such a thing.

He looked at the swirling clouds around him and couldn't help but exclaim, "Xiao Chen, I never expected your first soul skill to have such an effect."

This was more than just a soul skill for evading attacks.

In combat, this form could be used to hide oneself or to disrupt an enemy's judgment.

Especially in a one-on-one scenario, if an opponent could not accurately lock onto Lu Chen's position, they would easily fall into a passive state.

No sooner had Yue Guan finished speaking than a sharp whistling sound erupted from behind him.

His eyes flickered, and his body dodged to the side almost instinctively.

The next instant, a dragon tail swept fiercely out of the clouds, grazing the spot where Yue Guan had been standing.

The tail carried immense force; had it been an average Soul King, even if they weren't struck directly, they would have been knocked back by the shockwave.

Yue Guan glanced back and chuckled, "So it can do that, too."

That was the tail of Leugocyte.

Lu Chen had used Void Dragon Form to hide his aura and then launched a surprise attack from behind Yue Guan, the principle being to solidify a portion of the gaseous clouds.

However, his proficiency was not yet high; perhaps in the future, he would be able to vaporize parts of his body while in a physical state, which would open up many more tactical possibilities.

Although this strike did not actually hit Yue Guan, it had already demonstrated the versatility of his first soul skill in combat.

After the failed sneak attack, Lu Chen, still within the clouds, did not immediately deactivate his soul skill.

He wanted to continue, attempting to attack from other angles.

Since Void Dragon Form prevented Yue Guan from locking onto him for the moment, he naturally wanted to take this opportunity to see just how much he could achieve.

However, just as Lu Chen prepared to launch another attack, Bibi Dong's voice drifted in from outside the arena.

"That's enough, stop."

Lu Chen paused.

Since his teacher had spoken, he naturally would not continue his assault.

The clouds permeating the battlefield rapidly retracted, and Lu Chen's figure coalesced once more.

One purple and one black soul ring slowly dissipated.

Yue Guan also put away his Celestial Chrysanthemum, his nine soul rings fading from view. He looked at Lu Chen with a lingering smile on his face.

Although this test was not a true battle, it was enough for him to gauge Lu Chen's general strength.

Bibi Dong stepped forward, looked at Yue Guan, and said, "Give me your assessment."

Yue Guan knew she was asking about Lu Chen's combat performance, so he set aside his playful demeanor and thought seriously for a moment.

"The advantages are obvious."

He looked at Lu Chen and said, "Great strength, a powerful physique, and the potency of your soul skills is quite exaggerated. Whether it is the area-of-effect attack of your second soul skill or the void-shifting nature of your first, both are highly unexpected."

"Especially for soul masters facing you for the first time, it is very easy for them to suffer losses due to their lack of understanding of your soul skills."

Lu Chen listened quietly, not interrupting.

Yue Guan continued, "With your current strength, in a one-on-one situation, you have virtually no rivals below the Soul King level."

This was a high appraisal.

One had to remember that Lu Chen was currently only a level 26 Great Soul Master.

According to the standard soul master ranking, he wasn't even a Soul Grandmaster yet.

Yet, for Yue Guan to say he had no rivals below the Soul King level already proved that his actual combat power far exceeded his level.

However, Yue Guan quickly changed his tone.

"But there are problems as well."
