At this moment, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen collapsed to the ground, coughing up blood, their eyes filled with resentment and confusion.
Meng Hongchen gritted her teeth and said, "Why? Why is my poison ineffective against you? This shouldn't be happening."
Xu Zhengyang shook his head. "Aren't you mistaken about something? Poison is indeed effective against Soul Master; it can be said to be Soul Master nemesis. But you're only Soul Elder right now. Among Soul Master of the same level, you might be able to restrain anyone, even Soul Ancestor level Soul Master. But don't forget, during the last physical test, my physical attributes had already reached the Soul King level. Do you think your poison can easily kill a top-tier Soul King?"
"Besides, although the poison of your Vermilion-Eyed Ice Toad Martial Soul is special, it's really nothing to me. Over the years, I've been training outside and have come into contact with all kinds of poisons and been poisoned by them. My body has long since developed immunity to poisons, so your poison is completely useless to me."
As Xu Zhengyang said, he spent a full year training in the Sunset Forest, especially cultivating in the poisonous miasma for a long time. His body needed to constantly fight against the miasma, which gave his body a strong resistance.
The poisonous miasma of Sunset Forest is far superior to the poison of Meng Hongchen's Vermilion-Eyed Ice Toad Poison. It contains a large number of Ten-Thousand-Year- Jade Phosphor Seven Absolutes Flower, plus the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well of Ice and Fire, making it arguably the most poisonous place in the world.
Xu Zhengyang continued, "Furthermore, Meng Hongchen, didn't you notice the details of my fight just now? Your poison is spread through the air. Every move I made just now, I controlled the power of the Tiger-Head Zhan Gold Spear techniques. These moves have a certain effect of dispersing the poison gas."
"Especially my last move, the Self-Created Soul Skill Heavenly Dipper Poison Dragon Drill, where the Tiger-Head Zhan Gold Spear spins rapidly, forming a vortex around it, which can dispel your poison mist and even the effects of your Soul Skill."
Only then did everyone carefully review the details of Xu Zhengyang's battle. Indeed, as Xu Zhengyang said, each of his attacks was not fast, but each movement seemed to have a purpose. During the battle, the spear he wielded had the effect of dispersing the poisonous mist, so that he could avoid inhaling the poisonous gas as much as possible.
Even Teacher Xu Jie suddenly realized why he felt Xu Zhengyang's fighting was a bit abnormal and that there were some slightly unnecessary movements. It turned out that every shot was to effectively avoid inhaling poison gas.
As Xu Zhengyang said, in a situation where there is poisonous gas all around, by wielding a spear and using the special aura emitted by the spear, the poisonous gas can be kept away from the body, thus reducing the intake of poison. This is a solution that Xu Zhengyang came up with after spending so much time in Sunset Forest and adding his own ideas.
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was actually Xu Zhengyang's biggest goal. Even after so much time, Xu Zhengyang was still thinking about how to enter the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. He couldn't help but recall a martial arts TV series on Blue Star in his previous life ( The Swordsman ). In it, a master swordsman used sword techniques as he walked to cross a bridge full of poisonous creatures. He forced the poisonous creatures away with his sword energy and walked across the poisonous bridge without any trouble.
Unfortunately, Xu Zhengyang's physical fitness and marksmanship are not yet up to par, but this is still a viable option.
At this moment, Xu Zhengyang looked at Xiao Hongchen beside him.
"Whether it's your use of Soul Tool, your Three-Legged Golden Toad Martial Soul, or your Soul Skill, you are very well-suited for operating Soul Tool. But unfortunately, apart from operating Soul Tool, your Martial Soul and Soul Skill are utterly useless."
"Normally, Beast Martial Soul can greatly enhance Soul Master's physical abilities. Your Three-Legged Golden Toad can be considered a top-grade Beast Martial Soul, the pinnacle of metal-attribute Beast Martial Soul. Metal-attribute Soul Beast are the most powerful in attack among all Soul Beast, but you didn't use it at all from beginning to end."
"Furthermore, you are too fixated on high-powered Soul Tool and lack flexibility. Moreover, high-powered Soul Tool require a long preparation time, which creates significant weaknesses. Once someone gets close, your Soul Tool instantly becomes worthless, and you yourself lose your combat capability."
"It's fair to say that from beginning to end, your combat ability and adaptability were practically zero. Once you encounter a Soul Master with special Soul Skill, you'll be easily defeated."
Upon hearing this, everyone reviewed Xiao Hongchen's battle. Just as Xu Zhengyang had said, from beginning to end, Xiao Hongchen was using and releasing Soul Tool, launching attacks from a distance. Especially his last move, which took too long, resulted in him instantly losing his fighting ability once Xu Zhengyang got close.
Xu Zhengyang himself was also very disappointed with the battle just now. Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, the two siblings, were known as cultivation geniuses, but their practical combat experience was really lacking, and their adaptability was even worse. Even when they were fighting two against one, they could not put any pressure on him. You should know that he was carrying a load of more than 300 pounds.
No wonder that in the original story, even when they had the upper hand, they still suffered a crushing defeat in the end. During the first Soul Master Tournament, although the two of them possessed Soul King- level Soul Power Level, they were still defeated by a group of rookies from Shrek.
As for the second Soul Master Tournament, the defeat was even more crushing. They didn't even make it into the top eight. A Soul Sage- level expert was easily defeated by Wang Qiu'er and others. Although Huo Yuhao secretly took action, this was Shrek Academy's second team, and Xiao Hongchen's performance was even more dismal.
Xiao Hongchen's face showed resentment. " Xu Zhengyang, we are the Sun Moon Soul Engineer Academy. We all want to become powerful Soul Engineer. Your cultivation method is purely that of Soul Master, and you are only Level 1 Soul Engineer. What future can you have? How can you be the class monitor of this Soul Engineer class?"
Xu Zhengyang looked at Xiao Hongchen as if he were a fool.
"Aren't you mistaken about something? Before becoming Soul Engineer, you must first be Soul Master. In other words, to become a powerful Soul Engineer, becoming a powerful Soul Master is fundamental."
"Especially in combat, only by becoming a powerful Soul Master can one have a stronger physique and better reaction ability, enabling one to take the most correct measures when encountering danger, and also to make better use of Soul Tool. Just now, when I got close to you, you had no ability to react at all. If I wanted to kill you, would you have been able to fight back?"
Everyone present seemed to be deep in thought. Just as Xu Zhengyang said, a powerful Soul Engineer must be a powerful Soul Master. This power is not only about the Soul Power Level, but also about combat skills and adaptability, which cannot be compensated for by one or two Soul Skill.
Even Teacher Xu Jie seemed to be deep in thought. He had seen countless students, but none of them had such a unique understanding of Soul Engineer as Xu Zhengyang. As Xu Zhengyang said, the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy had been cultivating powerful Soul Engineer, but it had never grasped the key and had never cultivated any strong Soul Master. So even though the students' Soul Power Level were higher than those of the Shrek Academy in recent years, they had always been suppressed by the Shrek Academy.
