Chapter 50 Team Integration (Part Two)
Clearly, Wang Dong had no interest in testing the hardness of someone else's martial soul, and he abruptly stopped before the collision.
Wang Dong knew that Huo Yuhao's ability was at work, but Wang Dong still refused to believe it. Relying on his advantage of flying faster than this big guy, he rushed left and right, trying to make the cauldron blocking his way reveal a flaw.
However, Wang Dong underestimated the power of Huo Yuhao's soul skill. Based on parameters such as the flow of soul power, muscle contraction, and the angle of wing deflection, Huo Yuhao's mental detection accurately determined Wang Dong's purpose. No matter how Wang Dong tried, he could not break through even one meter forward!
If the soft approach doesn't work, I'll try the hard one!
Wang Dong, who is currently only at the second level, clearly cannot sustain long-term flight, and he understands that he cannot continue to deplete his soul power like this.
After retreating a short distance, Wang Dong suddenly charged forward. At the same time, his first soul ring flashed, and a ring of golden light spread out on Wang Dong's butterfly wings, eventually condensing into a golden edge at the edge of the wings.
Using the speed of his sprint, Wang Dong swung his right wing and slashed fiercely at the incoming Soul-Suppressing Cauldron.
Wang Dong wanted to see whether her wing-shaped guillotine was sharper or the Soul-Suppressing Cauldron was harder!
But how could Huo Yuhao and Xiao Xiao do as Wang Dong wished? Just as the edge of the Winged Guillotine was about to touch the Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, the Soul-Suppressing Cauldron suddenly retreated, narrowly missing the Winged Guillotine.
Then it spun forward and slammed into the side of Wang Dong's butterfly wing.
Wang Dong was already frustrated because his all-out slash had hit nothing but thin air when he was caught off guard by this collision and was sent flying more than ten meters away.
Xiao Xiao's Soul-Suppressing Cauldron remained steadily suspended in the air.
Huo Yuhao discovered long ago that his mental detection, in addition to detecting data on things within its range, also had a certain predictive function. For example, it could predict Wang Dong's location in the next few seconds based on Wang Dong's flight data.
Then, she directed Xiao Xiao's cauldron to intercept Wang Dong at the top position. This is why Xiao Xiao was able to block Wang Dong's attack flawlessly.
Moreover, this calculation is beyond Huo Yuhao's comprehension!
For example, the data provided by the mental detection included Wang Dong's speed during his final all-out sprint.
But that was a speed that Wang Dong had never shown before, yet it provided acceleration and other data the moment Wang Dong made a sprint!
Detecting data and performing calculations—perhaps this is the complete effect of mental detection. However, Huo Yuhao is currently not capable of handling such a massive amount of data; he can only perform rudimentary calculations of parameters such as speed, distance, and time.
For now, this effect has stopped here, but Huo Yuhao doesn't know where the upper limit of this ability will be in the future.
If... if Huo Yuhao's future computing power were so great that he could deduce the trajectory of everything within the range of his mental detection based on data...
call……
Taking a deep breath, Huo Yuhao refocused his attention on the ongoing sparring session.
After all, he is only a small Karami at the first level.
Enraged by the impact, Wang Dong tried to create distance and launch a ranged attack with his second soul skill, only to discover that Xiao Xiao's Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron could split into three.
What's the point of fighting? Even if you find the right angle to attack Xiao Xiao and Huo Yuhao at the same time, you still won't be able to dodge the interception of the three Soul-Suppressing Cauldrons.
Wang Dong could only call a halt in frustration.
Seeing that the sparring could not continue, the three of them focused on demonstrating their own abilities.
Huo Yuhao didn't have much to say; Xiao Xiao's main martial soul, the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, had a built-in effect of three points.
At the cost of sacrificing the defensive power of a single Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, the Soul-Suppressing Cauldron was divided into three parts, each of which could be used as easily as an extension of one's own arm.
This is what distinguishes Xiao Xiao's Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron from other Soul-Suppressing Cauldrons.
The first soul skill, "Calligraphy Tremor," essentially provides the cauldron with a certain frequency of vibration.
It causes shock damage upon contact with enemies, and can also cause enemies to suffer concussions, leaving them stunned.
At the same time, in the three-part state, the area between the three cauldrons will fall into a state of resonance with the cauldrons, causing area shock damage within the area.
The second soul skill, "Sweep of the Cauldron," utilizes the energy (black light) inherent in the Soul-Suppressing Cauldron martial soul. While stunning the target, the black light envelops the target, rendering them in a state of... well, unable to operate. As for the duration... it's about three seconds for the same level.
Note: The Soul-Suppressing Cauldron possesses a special energy—black light—which has the properties of eroding soul power, sealing soul skills, and adhering to things.
The second martial soul, Nine Phoenixes Come to Court, is much simpler. Currently, it can be summed up in four words: group slow down, with an effect of 20%.
This type of debuff-type martial soul is often not very lethal, but it is difficult to defend against. Unless a purification-type soul skill is used, such as the "relief" of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the user can only take the damage and fight with the debuff.
If you are unprepared, it is difficult to deal with it effectively. It is suitable as a second martial soul to cultivate for hiding and ambushing people.
When it comes to group battles, the debuff from eight ten-thousand-year soul rings will reduce the opponent's combat power by at least fifty percent. Who can withstand that?
As for Wang Dong's soul skills, they were much simpler and more direct.
The first soul skill, Wing Guillotine, coats the edges of butterfly wings with a layer of light film... a light blade, used for close-range slashing attacks.
The second soul skill, Butterfly God's Light, condenses multiple light-attribute energy balls for long-range bombardment.
The second martial soul, the Clear Sky Hammer... well, let's not go into details, everyone understands.
"Speaking of which, butterfly-type martial souls are generally not as strong as other beast-type martial souls. The books record that the Goddess of Light Butterfly is a martial soul with affinity for the light element and is good at manipulating the light element in battle. They don't say that the Goddess of Light Butterfly martial soul is suitable for close combat. Wang Dong, why did you choose to add such a close combat soul skill, and with such great power?"
Huo Yuhao looked at Wang Dong with some curiosity: "Look, Xiao Xiao's first martial soul skill combination is so good. Relying on the strength and high operability of the martial soul itself, both soul skills are reflected in the collision, but they have different effects, which is enough to deal with many situations. At the same time, they can complement each other in high-intensity battles, and can achieve a synergistic effect greater than the sum of its parts."
"And you, your first soul skill is to fly in front of others and slash, and your second soul skill is the same as recorded in the book, which condenses light elements for long-range attacks. Individually, the power of each soul skill is at the top among soul masters of the same level, but when combined, it is not enough. It is all thanks to your high-quality soul rings and soul power that you are able to hold on."
"Just like in close combat before, the speed was obviously not strong enough. It was okay when we were pulling each other in the air, but later on, even if we sprinted at full speed, we couldn't break through the defense line that Xiao Xiao and I set up. If it weren't for the fact that your first soul skill was exceptionally sharp and didn't look like a hundred-year soul skill at all, Xiao Xiao wouldn't have needed to dodge and could have directly fought you head-on and won."
"Even so, you were still sent flying far away by Xiao Xiao's cauldron when it found the right opportunity. It is obvious that compared with Xiao Xiao's martial soul, your martial soul is much weaker in terms of its own power. You are not even as good as Xiao Xiao's martial soul, which does not focus on power."
"The power of the Butterfly God's Light, a thousand-year-old soul skill, is indeed formidable, but it also has many drawbacks. Leaving aside the consumption of soul power, at long range, Xiao Xiao could potentially block most of your attacks simply by splitting her martial soul into three."
At this point, Huo Yuhao shook his head, unable to understand why Wang Dong, the female protagonist in the original work, had such a strange soul skill design.
"The Goddess of Light Butterfly Martial Soul, which is not particularly strong according to the book, is used by you to hack and slash like a knife, and it is also very sharp."
"That's right, vice class monitor. If it weren't for this cheat-like second-generation soul ring, it's hard to say who would be stronger between us." Xiao Xiao clenched her little fist provocatively.
"No way!" Wang Dong retorted, dissatisfied. "The soul skills my family chose for me are absolutely the most suitable for me! And who said my soul skills have poor synergy? That's because you don't know their value!"
"Yes, yes, vice class monitor." Xiao Xiao didn't take Wang Dong's words seriously at all.
Huo Yuhao, however, was puzzled as to why Tang San would equip the Goddess of Light Butterfly, a martial soul with a very obvious elemental tendency, with a pure melee combat soul skill.
After all, they still have to painstakingly hunt soul beasts to obtain soul rings, and what soul skills they get depends on luck. Wang Dong's soul rings are basically all divinely bestowed soul rings from the Clear Sky Sect, which means that Wang Dong's soul skills are basically "most suitable" for him.
Huo Yuhao simply couldn't understand why Wang Dong would have a close-combat soul skill under these circumstances. Could it be because Wang Dong had a heart set on close combat?
If he couldn't figure it out, he stopped thinking about it and instead began to ponder how to handle the upcoming assessments.
"Xiao Xiao, Wang Dong, come help me with an experiment..."
