Nahida vs. Hu Tao, the Complex Dendro Elemental Reactions

Before this, Chrysanthemum Douluo had thought he had it worst, getting only one genuine five-star for eighteen levels of Soul Power.

But when he learned that his genuine five-star was a five-star god, Chrysanthemum Douluo felt better about it in an instant.

Now, it seemed Ling Yuan was the unluckiest one there.

"If I pulled, I'd definitely get a genuine five-star in ten pulls."

Bibi Dong said this in a somewhat sulky tone, even as she knelt on the ground.

Qian Daoliu looked at her oddly. "You're that confident?"

Bibi Dong said, "Since it's happened before, that means it's possible. Everyone's relying on luck, so why couldn't that luck fall on me?"

Those words instantly unsettled everyone else, Qian Daoliu included.

That was right. Why couldn't such good luck fall on them?

I want to pull!!

Can't we stop kneeling?!

"Big brother, please put in a word for us."

The Third Offering, Azure Luan Douluo, truly couldn't bear it anymore. He silently poked Qian Daoliu's arm from behind.

Qian Daoliu sighed and finally spoke to Shen Luo.

"Lord God, how much longer must we kneel? All of us are willing to pay Soul Power to pull."

Shen Luo turned to look at the group and replied, "When you start pulling, each of you must pay eighteen levels of Soul Power all at once for your first pull. Otherwise, no pulls."

Everyone from Spirit Hall was taken aback, but none of them objected.

Qian Daoliu and the others stood up with smiles, only to hear Shen Luo say, "Did I say you could start pulling now?"

"Huh?"

The group who had just stood up timidly knelt again, confusion in their eyes.

Shen Luo said, "Kneel for another half hour."

Bibi Dong said, "..."

It was torture. She really felt like she was going to die from it.

Even if Shen Luo hadn't said that, she had wanted to pay eighteen levels for her first pull anyway!

If she was going to do it, she might as well go all out.

Equally frustrated, Ling Yuan stood up and looked at Hu Tao, who was on display.

"Only her cuteness can make me feel a little better. Your name is Hu Tao, right?"

Ling Yuan had imagined getting an answer, but none came. Clearly, Hu Tao wasn't a god character like the god of fire.

But the girl had made a very good first impression on her.

She was cute, and her clothes were unusual too. Those plum blossom pupils in particular were captivating.

Even her name was just the sort Ling Yuan liked.

Hu Tao, Hu Tao.

"If she's a fire character, then if I want to gain experience, doesn't that mean I can only..."

At that point, Ling Yuan silently looked toward Qian Daoliu, who was kneeling on the ground, the corners of her mouth twitching slightly.

"I remember Lord God said the Great Enshrined's Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul is a fire-type Martial Soul."

Hearing this, Qian Daoliu, who already understood the rules, suddenly brightened.

He immediately cupped his hands toward Shen Luo. "Lord God, as the Great Enshrined, I have a duty to help Elder Ling Yuan's five-star character gain experience!"

He even stood up as soon as he finished speaking.

Shen Luo said, "Kneel."

Qian Daoliu knelt again, his expression stiff.

Shen Luo said, "Doesn't she have the same Martial Soul? Although her own Martial Soul isn't particularly strong, she already has a genuine five-star now."

Shen Luo was referring to Qian Renxue.

"Don't forget, the stronger a fire-type Soul Master's overall strength, the more experience you'll gain from fighting them. Compared to Nahida, what do his ninety-nine levels of Soul Power amount to?"

Hearing Shen Luo say this, Qian Daoliu felt a wave of embarrassment.

Alas, now even level ninety-nine Soul Power isn't worth bringing up.

In fact, the moment he learned that the people of Spirit City had beaten the Second Worship half to death, Qian Daoliu had been forced to set aside all his lofty airs.

"Me?"

Qian Renxue pointed at herself in confusion, then asked, "But can I still give her character experience if I don't fight using my Martial Soul?"

Shen Luo said, "Only the type of Martial Soul matters here, not what abilities you use to fight."

"As for how much experience you gain, first, it depends on the elemental purity of the Martial Soul: the higher the purity, the more you gain. Second, it depends on overall combat strength: the stronger they are, the more you gain."

Qian Renxue nodded. "Got it."

She soon displayed her own genuine five-star, who was also a five-star god: Nahida.

Of course, they could fight to gain experience at another time. Qian Renxue was simply very interested in seeing what Nahida's skills looked like.

Ling Yuan had the same idea. She stood opposite Qian Renxue and displayed Hu Tao.

Seeing the scene in the middle of the grounds, the people studying Elemental Reactions hurriedly called out, "Look, she's going to use Nahida!"

The appearance of the first genuine five-star god was quite a draw.

What the people of Douluo Continent cared about most was how strong the characters were.

And the strength of a five-star god was what they cared about most at the moment.

But because the five-star god appearing this time happened to be a Dendro character, the expressions on the faces of the people who had just finished studying Elemental Reactions were a sight to behold.

Simply because...

Dendro characters' Elemental Reactions were fucking complicated!

"Wait, did you all understand those Dendro Elemental Reactions?"

"Yeah, I understood them!"

"Damn, how did you understand them? They've already got my head spinning!"

"They are a little confusing. You just need to understand the general outline. Don't worry about the exact numbers yet."

"I'm really speechless. Bloom, Hyperbloom, Burgeon, Spread, Aggravate, Burning Reaction... I'm coughing up blood here."

"That's why you should have studied hard and used your brain normally. Now you're dropping the chain at the crucial moment."

Hearing the people around them talking, Qian Renxue and Ling Yuan wore subtle expressions.

They had just looked at the Elemental Reactions too. Dendro reactions were indeed complicated, but with their intelligence, the two of them had understood the gist.

Ling Yuan said, "Young mistress, go easy on me..."

Qian Renxue smiled. "Don't we have someone who can heal?"

She glanced at Yan, who immediately scratched his head in embarrassment.

Arataki Itto was clearly his main character, yet everyone treated him like a healer now.

Holding the Black Tassel, Ling Yuan immediately activated Hu Tao's Elemental Skill.

[Hu Tao - Elemental Skill - Guide to Afterlife]

Red flames instantly flared around her, followed by a fire butterfly that flickered for a moment.

At that moment, Ling Yuan's body and the weapon in her hand were both enveloped in flames, and she could sense what made these flames different.

They were definitely hotter than Diluc's flames.

But Ling Yuan also felt something very strange.

First came a sense of weakness, as though thirty percent of her stamina had been drained. Next came the feeling of her combat strength soaring. After she released the Elemental Skill, the power surging through her body had nearly doubled.

It seemed the Elemental Skill was a buff, though the way it boosted her was somewhat strange...

Ling Yuan raised her head and looked at Qian Renxue.

[Hu Tao - Charged Attack]

Her entire body wreathed in flames, she seemed to become one with her spear as she rushed at Qian Renxue at tremendous speed, like a rocket.
