Dai Mubai vs. Liu Erlong (4)

This wasn't just the first round of confrontation.

The battle currently taking place in the sky—if Dai Mubai's Second Soul Ring Soul Skill only had one move, [White Tiger Holy Light Blast], even with his high speed, Liu Erlong might not be able to dodge it.

Even if the attack hits.

The number of times energy projectiles hit Liu Erlong was definitely less than the number of times energy bullets hit her.

Moreover, if the Second Soul Ring skill only has one move, [White Tiger Holy Light Blast], Dai Mubai cannot support the Soul Power consumption generated by such a high frequency of Soul Skill output.

"..."

"Self-Created Soul Skill developed based on the original Second Soul Skill?!" Upon hearing Li Yusong's explanation, Qin Ming couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

It has to be said that Dai Mubai shocked him far too much today.

Martial Soul, Soul Power, Soul Ring, combat talent...

Now, he has also Self-Created Soul Skill.

Although Qin Ming is humble and polite, he has indeed reached this point amidst countless praises of his genius, and therefore he also harbors a sense of pride.

But today, after learning about Dai Mubai's talent...

Qin Ming was completely numb; he was truly devastated.

Compared to Dai Mubai, if he is a genius, then Dai Mubai is a monster.

Qin Ming knew that his title as the most outstanding graduate in the Shrek Academy's 20-year history was about to change hands and be transferred to Dai Mubai.

However, Qin Ming was not envious Envy; on the contrary, he felt very gratified.

As one of the first students of the Shrek Academy, Qin Ming was aware of the aspirations of Flender, Zhao Wuji, and other teachers and mentors, and he himself hoped that Shrek Academy would develop better and better.

Now Shrek Academy has produced a student like Dai Mubai, whose talent is even more monstrous than his own before.

Qin Ming was genuinely happy for the Shrek Academy and for all the teachers and staff at Flender.

"My alma mater is thriving, and Shrek Academy is truly getting better and better." Qin Ming felt gratified and moved.

The battle on the field was not affected in the slightest by Qin Ming and the others' shock.

Relying on his astonishing speed, Dai Mubai continuously used [White Tiger Holy Light Strike] while firing dual pistols in rapid succession to deal damage.

Liu Erlong could only endure the attacks while trying her best to dodge.

Although Liu Erlong was currently at a loss, she did not easily admit defeat. After all, she was a level 75 Soul Saint, and her combat experience was far superior to Dai Mubai's.

Faced with Dai Mubai's fierce offensive, Liu Erlong had been waiting for an opportunity.

She was observing Dai Mubai's flight path, anticipating his actions, and waiting for Dai Mubai to unleash continuous high-intensity attacks, causing his Soul Power to deplete too much and resulting in a loss of attack points and a break in the chain of attacks.

Once Dai Mubai's attacks falter and he loses focus, that will be her opportunity to launch a counterattack.

But perseverance pays off. Through her persistent waiting and unwavering will, Liu Erlong actually managed to get a chance to strike back.

The [White Tiger Holy Light Strike] Soul Power bullet output doesn't consume as much energy as you might imagine, Dai Mubai can still provide support for now.

However, the [Wind-Blessed Swift Movement] speed-boosting Soul Skill used at the beginning only lasts for 10 minutes.

Now, after ten minutes, Dai Mubai's originally swift and unpredictable speed has been reduced by 100%.

This significant reduction in speed caused Dai Mubai to slow down drastically, giving the experienced Liu Erlong an opportunity to counterattack, which was not uncommon.

To be clear, Soul Saint is indeed Soul Saint; Liu Erlong's strength is not to be underestimated.

"Now!" Seeing Dai Mubai's flight speed suddenly slow down considerably, a glint flashed in Liu Erlong's beautiful eyes, and she then shouted in a low voice:

"Third Soul Skill - [Raging Fire and Startling Thunder]!!"

With a flick of her dragon claw, Liu Erlong Entanglement a bolt of Thunder with crimson dragon flames, hurtling towards Dai Mubai with a deafening boom.

The [Wind-Blessed Swift Movement] buff's decay was actually within Dai Mubai's expectations; he could have continued using it before the Wind-Blessed Swift Movement expired.

But he didn't do that, and he did it on purpose.

With his speed and long-range attacks, he could indeed kill Liu Erlong without taking any damage.

But this was just a test. More than the final outcome, he wanted to use Liu Erlong to test his own strength.

Therefore, he did not continue the speed boost from [Wind-Blessed Swift Movement], deliberately giving Liu Erlong a chance to counterattack.

Even now, seeing Liu Erlong unleash the [Raging Fire and Startling Thunder] long-range attack.

Even with his speed reduced by 100%, Dai Mubai was still very fast, and he was still able to dodge such an attack.

However, he deliberately neither dodged nor evaded, intending to take the attack head-on.

"What?!" Liu Erlong's face was full of surprise and confusion when she saw Dai Mubai hovering in the path of her Soul Skill attack.

Clearly, she couldn't understand Dai Mubai's intentions and purposes in doing so.

I don't know why Dai Mubai did this.

Not only Liu Erlong couldn't understand it, but even those watching from the sidelines, such as Flender, Zhao Wuji, and Qin Ming, were somewhat confused.

Dai Mubai, of course, did not offer an explanation.

Among the Soul Bone Skill included in the [Heavenly Dipper Vertical Eye] External Soul Bone, the [Spirit Suppression] passive skill continuously plays a role, keeping Dai Mubai's mind clear and calm at all times.

Today, Liu Erlong proposed to test his talent in actual combat. The reason why Dai Mubai did not object and why he felt confident whether Liu Erlong or Qin Ming fought against him was because he was not against it.

Aside from Liu Erlong / Qin Ming suppressing his cultivation level when fighting him, and Dai Mubai being inherently very powerful, there are other factors to consider.

He also has something to rely on, which supports his confidence and self-assurance.

That's the [High-Level Fire Resistance] item I got from the Basic Favorability Treasure Chest with Ma Hongjun.

Liu Erlong's Fire Dragon Martial Soul and Qin Ming's Blazing Fire Wolf Martial Soul are both fire-attribute Martial Soul, and their flames have not reached the level of [Ultimate Fire].

Because Dai Mubai, who possesses High-Level Fire Resistance, cannot be called their nemesis, he definitely exerts a very high level of suppression on them.

* With a flight speed comparable to that of Sharp-Tailed Swift in its initial normal state, coupled with [Wind-Blessed Swift Movement] and the long-range attack of her Second Soul Ring, Liu Erlong's defeat was basically inevitable.

The reason why Dai Mubai is not dodging or avoiding Liu Erlong's counterattack is because in Dai Mubai's mind, the first game is already over, and he has already won the first game.

He will no longer rely on speed and long-range output, and will use the same strategy to play the 'second game'.

In the second game, he planned to test his [High-Level Fire Resistance].

And the close combat skills he honed during this period through actual combat sparring with [Flender / Zhao Wuji / Li Yusong], and through life-and-death battles with Soul Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Crack!!"

"Boom!!"

The crimson Thunder struck at a speed that ordinary people could neither react to nor dodge, but Dai Mubai hovered in place with his wings flapping, neither dodging nor avoiding it.

In the end, Liu Erlong's [Raging Fire and Startling Thunder] struck Dai Mubai squarely.

Amidst the flashes of lightning and thunder, Dai Mubai was blasted backward, flying four or five meters before coming to a stop.
