Wind Element Martial Soul
After Liu Qingfeng left, Ye Lingling asked in a low voice, "Liu Qingfeng is over level 40. Qingchen, are you confident you can beat him?"
"What do you think?" Lin Qingchen asked in return.
Ye Lingling thought for a moment, then fell silent.
She recalled Lin Qingchen's astonishing performance in the Great Soul Arena some time ago. The level of Soul Ancestor in the forties sounded terrifying, but Lin Qingchen's terrifying strength seemed to have never been measured by level.
Since he's so confident, I'll just trust him.
"Then go ahead and do it. No matter how serious your injury is, I can heal it," Ye Lingling said earnestly.
Lin Qingchen: Then you overestimate him. He can't withstand any injuries at all.
Of course, he didn't say it aloud.
After all, it was Ye Lingling's kind intention; saying such things is too hurtful.
At the other end of the waiting area, Yu Tianheng plopped down next to Lin Qingchen, his face still flushed from the healing. "Be careful of Liu Qingfeng. His Martial Soul is wind element, completely formless, but you could also say it's extremely malleable. Although he usually relies on a staff as a weapon, it's unpredictable in close combat."
"Oh? You fought with him?"
"Of course I fought him, but I had only just broken through to level 20 back then, and he beat me senseless with his stick." Yu Tianheng seemed to feel a little embarrassed saying this, so he quickly coughed twice and changed the subject.
"Also, it's said that his Fourth Soul Skill is a control-type skill, but I don't know the specific effects, since I've rarely seen him use it."
"Okay, I understand."
Lin Qingchen didn't ask any more questions, but she already knew what was going on.
According to the known information, the Second Soul Skill of the Wind Element Martial Soul is a ranged attack such as a wind blade, the Third Soul Skill is an amplification, and the Fourth Soul Skill is control.
It's a very standard Soul Skill configuration. Although the yellow and purple Soul Ring Configuration isn't as good as mine, it's still the best Soul Ring Configuration. Coupled with the combat experience that comes with age, he's definitely a worthy opponent.
Of course, this kind of opponent is also very easy to deal with.
Especially Martial Soul that are purely elemental.
Even if a Beast Martial Soul like the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon loses its lightning, it can still fight by relying on the enhancement of its physical attributes. However, this Wind Element Martial Soul cannot do that.
If I use the Great Five Elements Divine Light, I can instantly render the opponent incapable of fighting.
Of course, Lin Qingchen himself definitely did not intend to use the Great Five Elements Divine Light, and he didn't even really want to use the Five Elements Life Generation. This was decided before the competition began.
The referee rang the gong, and the two men stepped onto the ring.
Liu Qingfeng slammed the stick into the ground, supporting himself with one hand on the stick, his posture upright and quite elegant.
"Lin Qingchen, what have you thought about what I just said? If you admit defeat now, you'll save yourself a beating."
"Bring it on." Lin Qingchen stood still, the Five Elements Qilin manifesting, its five-colored scales covering his upper body and arms.
"Strength isn't something you can just talk about; you only know it when you've actually fought."
Seeing that Lin Qingchen was practically ignoring him, Liu Qingfeng instantly became annoyed.
"Alright, alright, let's see who's the real deal then!"
In the distance, Dugu Bo watched the scene with a calm and collected demeanor. With his Titled Douluo's hearing, he naturally heard the two's undisguised conversation.
"Tsk tsk tsk, Liu Qingfeng, Qingfeng, this kid's personality is not as peaceful as his name suggests." Dugu Bo shook his head with a smile.
Grandpa, do you think Qingchen will win?
Having been teased by Dugu Bo so much, Dugu Yan didn't want to say anything more and simply used the way she usually addressed Lin Qingchen.
Dugu Bo glanced furtively at his granddaughter, who seemed rather weak, and said irritably, "If that kid can't even beat this guy, then he can't be called a genius."
Once the referee confirmed that both sides were ready, he announced, "The match begins!"
Unlike Yu Tianheng, Liu Qingfeng didn't rush forward directly. Instead, he slowly circled around, carrying his staff, and a layer of visible blue aura condensed from the wind element on the staff.
The tip of the stick grazed the ground, leaving a shallow groove.
It is indeed very sharp, and there's some story behind this fighting style.
Of course, the best option to deal with this kind of opponent is to launch a fierce attack.
Lin Qingchen moved.
He channeled the power of earth into the soles of his feet, took a step forward, and covered a distance of seven or eight steps, directly pressing himself against Liu Qingfeng.
The speed of the Great Five Elements Escape is comparable to Teleportation, faster than any movement technique. Liu Qingfeng obviously did not expect this speed. He subconsciously thrust his staff forward, the tip of the staff carrying a wind blade condensed from his First Soul Skill, slashing towards Lin Qingchen's shoulder.
Lin Qingchen did not dodge at all. He covered his left hand with the power of metal and grabbed the staff directly.
The wind blades cut into the metal, producing a series of sizzling sounds, like fingernails rubbing against a blackboard.
But in the end, they still couldn't get through.
Liu Qingfeng's expression changed, and he forcefully pulled the stick back, trying to create distance. However, Lin Qingchen used his force to ram forward, and his right shoulder crashed directly into Liu Qingfeng's arms.
"Bang--"
Liu Qingfeng was knocked back three steps, and the stick almost slipped from his hand.
He steadied himself, his Second Soul Ring lit up, and three wind blades shot out from the staff, forming a triangular shape to block Lin Qingchen's left, right, and front.
Lin Qingchen activated the earth elemental power beneath his feet, causing him to sink into the ground and absorb most of the impact, causing all three wind blades to miss their mark.
"Drilled underground?" Liu Qingfeng gritted his teeth, his Third Soul Ring lit up, and the power of the wind element suddenly increased. The cyan aura on the staff turned dark cyan, and the speed at which the staff was swung also increased significantly.
He charged forward, brandishing his staff. His staff techniques were wide and sweeping, each strike carrying a powerful wind pressure. If you got close, you could even feel the slight stinging sensation of the wind blades generated by the staff cutting into your skin.
"Oh..."
At this point, Lin Qingchen decided against a direct confrontation.
Using the power of earth, he traversed the ground, dodging all of the opponent's attacks.
Liu Qingfeng's staff technique was indeed skillful, with each strike connected seamlessly with almost no gaps. However, against Lin Qingchen's fighting style, it was as if he had punched cotton, leaving him completely helpless and increasingly frustrated.
"Is all you can do is dodge?" Liu Qingfeng suddenly put away his stick, his tone filled with intense anger.
Lin Qingchen looked at him and smiled.
"Isn't this a perfectly normal way of fighting?"
Just then, Liu Qingfeng suddenly slammed the stick on the ground, and his Fourth Soul Ring instantly lit up.
A deep blue wind element exploded from the staff, transforming into a visible vortex that spread outwards from him, making the air thicker wherever it passed.
Lin Qingchen took a step and found that lifting his foot required more effort than usual.
Fourth Soul Skill: Wind Bind.
It's a pretty good control skill. To gain such a wide-range control skill as the Fourth Soul Skill is indeed quite impressive.
Only...
On the other side, Liu Qingfeng rushed up with a stick, the stick's wind carrying a dark blue aura as it slammed down on him.
This strike was his full-force blow; he was confident that with it under his control, his opponent would not be able to dodge it.
Lin Qingchen watched the stick fall, smiled slightly, and then it sank back into the ground.
That's right, you may have taken control of the situation, but what does that have to do with me, someone who can burrow underground?
Can your wind possibly restrain the earth?
"What?" Liu Qingfeng was shocked, never expecting that his control would be ineffective.
In that case, wouldn't my strongest attack have been wasted?
Unexpectedly, Lin Qingchen reappeared, and instead of moving away, he deliberately appeared within the attack range of Liu Qingfeng's raised short stick.
But the moment Lin Qingchen appeared, his right hand also rose, palm facing the short stick.
The Great Five Elements Divine Light!
