Chapter 758– Another Self
Furthermore, after the confrontation, Qing Luo realized that Bai Xiuxiu had superb fighting skills and treated this battle as a form of training for herself, so she wasn’t anxious.
There was another reason why she didn’t use more soul skills; she didn’t want to expose her full strength too early. There was still a team battle later.
From Lan Xuanyu’s performance at the beginning, the seven of them were probably not weak, and there might even be a mace at the back. As the strongest in the team, it was undoubtedly beneficial for the team battle if Qing Luo hid her strength while ensuring her victory.
This way, she was even less anxious.
It was because both parties had this mentality that the battle seemed somewhat dull. No one was in a rush to break through the opponent’s defense and neither of them displayed their soul skills too early. Bai Xiuxiu was waiting for an opportunity while Qing Luo was waiting for Bai Xiuxiu to exhaust her soul power.
In the blink of an eye, they had been fighting for ten minutes.
Lan Xuanyu stood in his team and observed the situation while looking at the other opponents.
He saw that after Yan Kailun returned to his team, the youth named Li Qiuqiu, who was always smiling, muttered something and then handed Yan Kailun a few different colors of food that looked like steamed buns.
‘Is that a food-type soul master?’
Food-type soul masters were the rarest among the many types of soul masters. For a team, the existence of a food-type soul master meant that their combat power would last longer.
Food-type soul masters could provide all sorts of food that could increase one’s strength, and these foods could also restore one’s physical strength and vitality. Especially during an exploration, with a food-type soul master around, there was no need to bring any food. Food-type soul masters were rare teammates.
One of their seven opponents was a food-type soul master, so it was impossible for him to appear in the 1v1 and 2v2 matches.
In that case, they would have to consider how to deal with the others in the following matches.
With that thought, Lan Xuanyu suddenly turned to Lan Mengqin and said, “Mengqin, if Xiuxiu wins this round, you must win the next round. I don’t think the other party will have another eight-ring Soul Douluo. If Xiuxiu loses, you will go up and test her before admitting defeat and hiding your strength.”
Lan Mengqin asked doubtfully, “How do you know that the other party doesn’t have any other eight-ring Soul Douluos?”
Lan Xuanyu said, “Observe. When Qing Luo released her eight soul rings just now, there were quite a number of exclamations from the audience. Obviously, not everyone knew that she is an eight-ring Soul Douluo. Since that is the case, the possibility of the other party having another eight-ring Soul Douluo in their lineup is even lower. After all, it is not easy to achieve an eight-ring cultivation. So, if Xiuxiu can win this match, then we won’t prepare to engage in a team battle with them. For the next one-against-one and two-against-two match, we will take them all down and end the competition. If Xiuxiu loses, you must hide your strength and act as our backup plan for the team battle.”
Lan Mengqin nodded and said, “Alright, cannonball captain.”
The corners of Lan Xuanyu’s mouth twitched. What was the meaning of this nickname? But at this moment, he had to observe the situation and couldn’t refute.
Qian Lei, who was standing behind him, couldn’t help but laugh.
That’s right! Lan Xuanyu was simply like an elemental cannon, and that explosive power was no different from a soul cannon.
This battle simply made everyone look at him in a different light. Only then did they realize that he already had the ability to fight against a seven-ring Soul Sage.
Right at this moment, the situation changed.
Bai Xiuxiu and Qing Luo’s fighting speed was extremely fast and they were constantly changing positions.
All of a sudden, Bai Xiuxiu stumbled as though she stepped on something and her entire body tilted to the side.
Qing Luo naturally wouldn’t let go of such an opportunity. She opened the Heavenly Luo Fan in her hand and swung it directly at Bai Xiuxiu, unleashing her powerful soul power.
Bai Xiuxiu rolled on the ground and appeared to be in a sorry state. She rolled far away and released her second soul skill at the same time. The ice tide on her body surged forward and pushed her away quickly.
Qing Luo paused for a moment and her first reaction was—this was a trap.
During this pause, Xiuxiu had already pulled away from Qing Luo. After pulling away, the ice spear in Bai Xiuxiu’s hand suddenly turned into ice flowers and disappeared from her palm. She placed her hands together and a purple light started to glow along with the orange-gold halo on her body. It immediately blossomed from her back.
She was fooled!
Qing Luo immediately understood. The other party had intentionally revealed a flaw and made her think that it was a trap, and she had used this short period of time to widen the distance between them. It was obvious that the other party wanted to use the soul skill brought about by the orange-gold soul ring to accumulate power.
With that thought, Qing Luo didn’t hesitate anymore. The third soul ring on her body lit up and the Heavenly Luo Fan in her hand suddenly enlarged. She waved it in Bai Xiuxiu’s direction and a purple light immediately swept towards her.
The powerful soul power erupted without reservation.
The purple light on Bai Xiuxiu’s back was even more intense than the light from the Heavenly Luo Fan. The purple light blossomed behind her like a gigantic light wheel with purplish-black vortexes inside.
When the purple light from the Heavenly Luo Fan landed, it was actually drawn into the purple vortex and did not land on Bai Xiuxiu. After absorbing Qing Luo’s attack, the purple vortex expanded rapidly.
‘Is she… absorbing my power?’
Qing Luo was startled, but at the same time, she spread her wings and unleashed her Two-Word Battle Armor.
She could feel that Bai Xiuxiu was accumulating her power. In addition to the battle between Lan Xuanyu and Yan Kailun, Lan Xuanyu had relied on accumulating the power of four elements to win. She naturally wouldn’t give Bai Xiuxiu more time.
As her Two-Word Battle Armor covered her body, she charged towards Bai Xiuxiu.
On the spectator stand.
“It’s the Demon Queen, that’s right. This is the Demon Queen’s Sky Demon Domain. That little girl, Qing Luo, fell for it! She must not get close to the Demon Queen’s soul skill. At such a close distance, the Demon Queen’s control skill is the best in the Soul Beast World. How can she get close to the Sky Demon Domain? In fact, as long as she stays far away from the Sky Demon Domain, that little girl probably won’t be able to last for long.”
“This is wisdom. That little girl made use of Qing Luo’s inertial thinking, from intentionally revealing a flaw to pulling away and accumulating strength. It’s all the same. There’s no need to accumulate strength for the Sky Demon Domain, it can be unleashed in an instant! Children these days, the intelligence in this arena is amazing! As expected of someone from Shrek Academy!”
Qing Luo appeared in front of Bai Xiuxiu in an instant. Bai Xiuxiu’s expression changed slightly as she formed an ice spear with both hands and thrust it forward.
Qing Luo scoffed as her fifth soul ring lit up and the Heavenly Luo Fan in her hand became unusually bright.
With the support of her Two-Word Battle Armor, her palm struck out gently. In an instant, the surroundings turned pitch-black as if the entire space had been destroyed.
This was an all-out attack from an eight-ring Soul Douluo-rank powerhouse, and it was even unleashed with the support of his Two-Word Battle Armor and her fifth soul skill.
Fifth soul skill, Heavenly Luo Treasure Seal!
She wanted to rely on this skill to prevent Xiuxiu from accumulating power to end this match.
But at this moment, the world spun and Qing Luo felt as though everything in front of her had changed. What was even stranger was that she saw another her.
Everything around her turned purplish-black and her other self’s palm was enlarging.
