Chapter 616 – Conductor
This Devouring Domain was not a soul skill but came from the evolution of her bloodline.
It was already very rare for a soul master’s Martial Soul to mutate once, but Bai Xiuxiu had already experienced it twice. This second time, even her bloodline had evolved. Hence, her abilities had never been as simple as her four soul skills visible on the surface.
Right at this moment, Lan Xuanyu moved. A low dragon roar resounded and an extremely ferocious aura burst forth from his body. He pushed both hands out at the same time and a golden dragon blossomed from his body as though it had awakened. With a valiant dragon roar, the golden dragon pounced towards Nangong Yiling.
Nangong Yiling’s speed was extremely fast, but in the face of the Devourinng Domain, he was unable to display any speed.
The fourth soul ring on his body lit up, and Nangong Yiling’s body immediately turned illusory and transformed into a ball of golden lightning. The Thunder Domain on Nangong Luoluo’s body also erupted to its limits.
They were drawing each other in! Guiding electricity into the thunder.
The lightning suddenly flashed and forcefully broke free from the Devouring Domain, flying towards Nangong Luo’s Thunder Domain. The golden dragon that Lan Xuanyu released followed closely behind. It was the Golden Dragon Soaring skill that Nana had taught him.
After all these years of training, he was already very familiar with Golden Dragon Soaring. When he was fighting with his teammates, Lan Xuanyu usually acted as support and also a commander. He rarely fought.
At this moment, after using Golden Dragon Soaring, Nana, who was watching the battle, nodded her head slightly. Lan Xuanyu had finally gained some mastery over this move. The only thing he lacked was soul power.
Nangong Yiling’s body that had transformed into lightning merged into the Thunder Domain. In an instant, the Thunder Domain shone brightly and Nangong Luoluo’s body rose into the sky. The blue-purple Thunder Domain turned golden-purple in an instant as the lightning intertwined.
“Be careful, Martial Soul Fusion skill.” Bai Xiuxiu’s voice resounded. At the same time, she appeared next to Lan Xuanyu in a flash. Her entire body became slightly more illusory as a shadow seemed to separate from her back.
That illusory figure looked extremely huge, like a mountain. It was actually a gigantic shark, but that shark was covered in purple dragon scales. The evolution of her bloodline resulted in the Abyssal Demon Dragon Shark.
The purplish-black dragon scales covered Bai Xiuxiu’s entire body and even her long hair turned purple. This was her bloodline power. It complemented the golden scales on Lan Xuanyu’s body and was actually gold and purple.
“Thunderous Lightning Strike!” Nangong Luoluo and Nangong Yiling’s voices resounded at the same time. Following that, a gigantic golden-purple lighting bolt that was as thick as a water bucket descended from the sky and headed straight for Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu.
The golden dragon released by Golden Dragon Soaring exploded in an instant in front of the lightning and turned into golden light before dissipating.
A Martial Soul Fusion skill unleashed by two four-ring soul masters, and they were lightning types that were known for focusing on offense and had the strongest explosive power. Its might was definitely not inferior to a full-power attack from a six-ring Soul Emperor.
From the beginning to the end, Nangong Luoluo and Nangong Yiling did not release their Battle Armors, not because they did not want to, but because they did not have any. Their focus had always been on cultivation and actual combat. Among all the third years in the Imperial Sun Moon Soul Engineer Academy, they were the strongest in actual combat.
According to the academy’s original plan, the two people at the beginning were mainly for testing Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu’s strength, which would exhaust them at the same time. The Nangong brothers would be used to end this sparring.
Bai Xiuxiu wanted to rush in front of Lan Xuanyu to block the terrifying power of the lightning bolts, but a golden-patterned Blue Silver Grass wrapped around her waist and pulled her behind Lan Xuanyu.
Then, Bai Xiuxiu saw a strange scene. A strand of Blue Silver Grass shot out from each of Lan Xuanyu’s hands.
The golden Blue Silver Grass drilled into the ground and the silver-patterned Blue Silver Grass shone with a strange light.
A layer of misty fog appeared on the surface of the silver-patterned Blue Silver Grass. The fog seemed to be fluctuating violently as green and blue lights flickered. The front end of the silver-patterned Blue Silver Grass spun violently, turning the blue fog into a ball in the air before it met the gigantic golden-purple lightning.
“Boom!” The entire stage lit up.
Then, everyone saw an extremely strange scene.
Lan Xuanyu’s entire body shook violently as lightning flickered around his body. But what was even brighter was the blue fog that had turned golden-purple. However, the lightning didn’t affect Lan Xuanyu the slightest. Instead, it was transferred into Lan Xuanyu’s body through the silver-patterned Blue Silver Grass that was flickering with mist and then into the ground.
Lan Xuanyu’s entire body trembled from the electricity, but the golden scales on his body were moving rhythmically, blocking most of the electricity outside his body and preventing it from entering.
“This works too?” Yao Li Lin was stunned.
Everyone could see what Lan Xuanyu was doing. He was guiding the electricity and channeling the energy of the lightning into the ground. But the problem was that it was easier said than done to channel the explosive power of a lightning type attack ! It was already very difficult to block it.
After a full ten seconds, the power of the lightning was almost exhausted. Nangong Luoluo and Nangong Yiling’s eyes were filled with disbelief as they descended from the sky with pale faces.
“Aiya, I was electrocuted to death.” Lan Xuanyu bounced on the spot. There was even a faint smoke coming out of his body, but with the release of a faint blue halo that nourished his body, he quickly seemed to be fine.
The stern-looking Bai Xiuxiu had an ice arrow behind her and was already charging forward. On the other side, Deep Blue Gaze was released once again and froze the Nangong brothers in their weakened state. Before she could attack again, the referee had already blocked the Nangong brothers.
In fact, they had already lost when the Lightning Strike had no effect. In their original plan, this powerful Martial Soul Fusion skill was meant to defeat Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu, but no one expected that Lan Xuanyu would be able to stop it alone.
Lan Xuanyu trembled as he jumped off the stage. When he landed on the ground, he staggered and almost fell. But after he retracted his Golden Dragon Body, his face was filled with excitement as he ran to Nana.
“Teacher Nana, was it 80%?”
Nana nodded slightly and smiled. “About 80.”
They didn’t conceal their voices, so the teachers of the Imperial Sun Moon Soul Engineer Academy could hear them too. But they were all confused. What 80%?
Lan Xuanyu was obviously referring to his control over the elements.
The reason why he was able to lure away such a powerful thunderbolt was because of his control over lightning.
During the process of guiding electricity just now, it was actually split into two parts. One was pulling, and the other was guiding.
The best way to attract lightning was naturally lightning because it would not explode when it came into contact with lightning.
Of the three elements that Lan Xuanyu controlled, there was naturally no lightning ability. His three elements were water, fire, and wind.
But how did lightning come about? It was the friction between the rain clouds. The changes between the rain clouds mainly came from two elements, water and wind.
Friction generated electricity.
What Lan Xuanyu did was to use the silver-patterned Blue Silver Grass to control the elements and simulate the effect of rain clouds rubbing against each other to generate electricity, forming a small but highly concentrated lightning bolt and drawing it in. His body and that golden-patterned Blue Silver Grass were like metal wires that guided the lightning into the ground, drawing away most of the power of the lightning collision.
This may sound simple, but it was actually extremely difficult. How could it be so easy to rely on one’s own control over the elements and create lightning with the elements of wind and water?
