Chapter 398: Mythical Martial Soul
Cloud Lightning Field.
“The closer I get to this place, the more uneasy I feel.”
w.a.n.g Ka muttered, “Everyone says that lightning-type soul pets are the most breathtaking. I don’t feel it in normal battles, but in this place, I feel it.”
“Perhaps it’s because the lightning here is very similar to Heavenly Lightning.”
Ludi pointed at the air, “Look, look, the lightning striking down from above is much more exaggerated than the lightning used by normal lightning soul pets. It feels like the usual thunderstorm. It’s a little like a ten-thousand-year soul skill, Myriad Lightning.”
!!
The Cloud Lightning Field was like a wasteland. The ground was purple, and Cloud Lightning Trees were blooming with Cloud Lightning Flowers.
This Cloud Lightning Wood was a true high-level soul plant that was very rare in the outside world. It was mainly because there were too few suitable growing environments. Ordinary soil could not grow at all. It could only grow in places that contained intense lightning life force.
Purple electric arcs flashed in the air, abnormally shocking. In the clouds, there was a huge soul beast that kept jumping and riding the clouds. It was like a ferocious Thunder Beast and was very awe-inspiring.
“Thunder Beast, this is a true ten-thousand-year ancient soul beast.” Shen Mingluan’s tone was serious, “It’s said that the one similar to it in the modern world is the Violent Lightning Fang.”
When w.a.n.g Che was in the Aviation Cup, he encountered the Violent Lightning Fang. A King-ranked lightning-type soul pet was very powerful.
“Zheng Shaoyang and the others went in.” Bai Xiaoluo pointed ahead.
With Zhao Zhige as the leader, Zheng Shaoyang and the others rushed in.
Zhao Zhige held the Cloud Lightning Staff. As long as there was lightning around, he would immediately raise the staff and absorb it.
With the Cloud Lightning Staff, only hair-like lightning bolts landed on their bodies. They could not cause serious damage.
Battle Soul Masters had very powerful bodies.
“Unfortunately, if only my White Moon Leopard was also good at lightning.” Bai Xiaoluo shrugged.
“They might not be able to go far,” w.a.n.g Che suddenly said.
“What do you mean?” Bai Xiaoluo immediately asked curiously.
“Because that Thunder Beast has already discovered them.”
w.a.n.g Che pointed at the clouds ahead, “This Thunder Beast should be trying to stop humans from crossing this area.”
In the clouds in the air, an incomparably ferocious purple eye appeared and stared at the Cloud Lightning Field below.
The next moment, dark purple lightning shot towards Zheng Shaoyang.
The lightning was majestic, like a true Heavenly Lightning Strike. Its power was comparable to a ten-thousand-year soul skill.
“This is lightning, right?” Ludi clicked his tongue, “It’s just lightning. This aura feels like lightning. These ancient soul beasts have lived for too long. Even an ordinary lightning strike can have such power!”
Almost instantly, Zheng Shaoyang raised a barrier and barely blocked the lightning.
The barrier vaguely looked like a shield or a turtle sh.e.l.l. It was green-yellow and looked very extraordinary.
“What’s that? It can actually block it?”
w.a.n.g Ka was surprised, “The Cloud Lightning Staff can’t absorb a ten-thousand-year soul skill attack, right? Is this someone else’s martial soul?”
Clearly, most of the lightning was blocked by the barrier.
“Has the Divine Might Black Tortoise finally been revealed?” Shen Mingluan sighed and said, “It’s a Mythical martial soul that appeared in our Cloud Border Continent for three thousand years. I knew it. Yang Xiaotan shouldn’t be hiding it.”
“Mythical martial soul?” w.a.n.g Ka and Ludi were clearly shocked, “We’ve never heard of this Yang Xiaotan?”
“Of course. She’s already in her fourth year,” Bai Xiaoluo said angrily. “She’s about to graduate. You’re only in your second year. She doesn’t show off. Strangely, you know.”
“Don’t be so surprised. You didn’t partic.i.p.ate in the King’s Cup last year, but you’ve seen it, right? Basically, in the top 32, half of the 50 teams have Mythical martial souls.”
“It’s still possible for those third and fourth-year students to produce one or two Mythical martial souls in the nine continents every year. It’s been three to four years, but it’s less than half.”
w.a.n.g Ka and Ludi wiped the cold sweat off their bodies.
Shen Mingluan smiled and said, “If w.a.n.g Che was in our team, he would be carrying three others. That Yang Xiaotan would be protecting three in their team. Her soul pets are basically all related to defense. The Earth Dragon Turtle from before is only one of them.”
“North River University is the representative university of our continent. What you heard is usually the more famous ones. There are actually many students who are not famous and strong. If you didn’t pay special attention, you naturally wouldn’t know.”
With Yang Xiaotan casting the defensive shield casually, Zheng Shaoyang and the others continued forward.
They moved very quickly. Before long, they found a Cloud Lightning Tree and began to collect it. This was because the further they went, the more lightning descended, the denser and stronger it was.
Even Yang Xiaotan could not last long.
“Let’s move too,” w.a.n.g Che said. “w.a.n.g Ka and Ludi, give me the buffs. I’ll take the lead.”
“This, why don’t I do it?” Bai Xiaoluo said, “I have a spirit martial soul. After my martial soul possesses me, my body is not weaker than soul beasts. Although I can’t go as far as them, it’s not a problem to resist for a while.”
“Alright.” w.a.n.g Che did not refuse.
The four of them organized themselves and immediately began to move.
After Bai Xiaoluo’s martial soul possessed her, she was indeed strong enough to withstand the lightning that descended.
At this moment, Zheng Shaoyang had already begun to walk back because they had obtained the Cloud Lightning Wood.
“Come at me head-on!” Zheng Shaoyang smiled and said, “Bai Xiaoluo’s spirit martial soul is not good at defense. The White Moon Leopard martial soul specializes in speed and attack. It doesn’t have powerful attribute energy. It will die in a while.”
“That w.a.n.g Che should be able to bring them far,” Yang Xiaotan said.
“w.a.n.g Che? He can withstand the Thunder Beast’s lightning?” Zheng Shaoyang thought for a moment, “His martial soul is the Star Palace. Currently, he only has two support soul skills. His Magnetic Sword is very abnormal. I’ve seen it in the Thunder Soul Earth, but its soul pets aren’t by its side.”
“Without a spirit martial soul, it can’t possess the body. The equipment martial soul is not related to lightning or the ground. It should be very difficult to resist this power of Heavenly Lightning, right?” Zhao Zhige was also a little puzzled, “I don’t have the Cloud Lightning Staff. I don’t dare to resist it myself.”
“I’m not sure. It’s just a feeling,” Yang Xiaotan said. “The feeling he gives me is that he won’t do anything he’s not confident in. Since he dares to enter, he naturally has a way to deal with it.”
“I think that’s possible.” Zheng Shaoyang nodded.
After walking out of the Cloud Lightning Field, they stopped.
“Then I want to see.” Zheng Shaoyang chuckled, “There’s no hurry to leave. My body is a little numb. I’ll rest while I’m at it. Currently, we’re the only ones who encountered their team. Take the opportunity to understand more since the King’s Cup is about to begin.”
At the same time, on a distant mountain.
The Cloud Flame Fox looked into the distance and picked up a small book. It looked at the human teams coming and going and drew on the small book.
“Sigh, it’s really not easy for me. The leader can just squeeze me dry. This Thunder Beast actually bullied me too! It didn’t want to write the report, so I had to write it!”
The Cloud Flame Fox said angrily, “I want to see if you can’t defend the Cloud Lightning Field. The Golden Eagle Great Sage will probably skin you alive!”
“Oh, oh, the handsome human brother has appeared!”
The Cloud Flame Fox lay on the ground in a comfortable posture and took out a pile of fruits.
It ate and watched.
In the Cloud Lightning Field, Bai Xiaoluo’s face was pale. w.a.n.g Che replaced her and walked ahead.
“Oh my, this lightning is really not something a human can withstand.” Bai Xiaoluo’s hair began to puff up, “Moreover, this Thunder Beast is a little powerful. I feel that this lightning is almost at the limit of what I can withstand every time. It doesn’t want us to die, it only wants us to leave.”
“I really can’t take it.”
Shen Mingluan took out a handful of medicine and handed it to Bai Xiaoluo, using her martial soul to heal her.
She had two soul skills. One was the Jade Water Nether Flower, used to restore physical strength. It came from the Glazed Green Luan with astonishing recovery.
Another was the Clear Water Frost which was used to unleash a shield to protect her teammates.
At the same time, as a medical soul master and an agricultural soul master, she had many supplies on her. Even without the Glazed Green Luan, her role was rather obvious.
Moreover, her healing and defense abilities were even stronger than w.a.n.g Ka’s.
The characteristic of the card martial soul was that it had more functions and the relative effect was much lower.
In official compet.i.tion, as long as they did not defeat Shen Mingluan, it would be very difficult for the other party to win. Coupled with the powerful combat strength of the Glazed Green Luan, she was a very solid support soul master.
“It’s up to you.” Bai Xiaoluo said weakly to w.a.n.g Che, “The nearest Cloud Lightning Wood is still a little far. I overestimated myself.”
w.a.n.g Che nodded and took out a wooden sword.
“Eh, you’re using a sword?” Shen Mingluan took a look.
“I only brought the wooden sword,” w.a.n.g Che said. “This thing is cheap. It won’t hurt if it’s damaged.”
Everyone was speechless.
w.a.n.g Che walked in front. w.a.n.g Ka and Ludi immediately buffed him.
“My luck is a little bad.” w.a.n.g Ka touched the card in his hand and said helplessly, “This time, I drew a Power Card that can increase the power of your soul skill. Moreover, it must be an offensive conventional soul skill. It doesn’t seem to be of any use to you… At least I drew a defense card just now.”
The card in his hand was the size of a palm. In the center was the icon of a sharp sword, representing the Power Card.
When everyone saw this, their faces darkened.
At this moment, defense was definitely more useful.
“I think it’s not bad,” w.a.n.g Che said.
“He’s a variable in our team.” Ludi summoned the Seven Star Disc and added a Heavenly Pivot Divine Light to w.a.n.g Che.
The increase in this move was very stable, increasing soul power cultivation.
“This variable also means the variability of tactics.” w.a.n.g Che took the card and smiled, “According to the differences in the cards, it’s even harder for the opponent to guess our tactic.”
“I think it makes sense.” w.a.n.g Ka chuckled.
“I’m just giving you face.” Ludi scolded jokingly, “What’s the use of this Power Card now? Indeed, others can’t guess our moves.”
“Don’t forget we can’t antic.i.p.ate it ourselves!”
“…” w.a.n.g Ka.
Bai Xiaoluo and Shen Mingluan laughed.
