Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 108 Deception
The third match of the National Elite Soul Master Tournament, featuring the Qibao team, began as scheduled.

Han Tao and his team's opponent this time is the Canghui Academy's "Seven Gems Team".

The seven gemstone spirit masters strode confidently onto the fighting stage. Zhang Jingyang, with a sinister smile, glanced at Han Tao and arrogantly said, "It's not too late to surrender now."

Han Tao neither confirmed nor denied it.

Having already gained initial control over the illusionary realm, the Seven Gems team poses no threat to him; however, Han Tao can defend against it, but his teammates cannot.

"you."

Han Tao hesitated for a moment, then looked at his teammates: "You can't play in this game."

"Why?" Ning Rongrong pouted.

"Because you haven't learned about illusions."

The illusion was far too powerful for an amateur; the "Divine Court" was activated by the enemy, and the person was trapped in the illusion, unable to awaken.

"Illusion, is that what we learned when we went to Canghui Academy?" Rongrong asked, somewhat annoyed.

During my trip to Canghui Academy, I was so busy with jealousy and rivalry that I neglected my theoretical studies.

Thinking this, she gave Ye Lingling a resentful glance.

“Okay!” Ye Lingling replied with half a sentence.

Yang Qixin asked blankly, "What is an illusion?"

Ning Rongrong waved her hand impatiently: "This is none of your business, go play."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Han Tao said goodbye to his teammates and walked onto the ring alone.

"Just you?" the referee asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Okay." Han Tao turned to the referee: "We can announce the start."

After confirmation, the referee waved his flag and announced the start of the match.

The Seven Gems Team stands in a hexagonal formation, with each member holding a gem and releasing their soul power and mental power simultaneously.

"What is this?" Ning Fengzhi slapped the chair and asked.

"A seven-in-one martial soul fusion skill. Judging from this, my second junior brother is in danger."

Xue Qinghe cracked sunflower seeds, glancing at the crowd every now and then, his tone tinged with melancholy.

Seven pure gemstone lights merged into a seven-colored hue, and a dazzling illusion enveloped Han Tao's body.

"Illusion?"

Holy Soul Village, Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony.

The illusion that had been set up beforehand withstood the first wave of attacks from the illusionary realm.

Han Tao looked at his fingers; the Acacia Heartbreak Red was gathering, as alluring and beautiful as a demon.

but
Han Tao underestimated the Seven Gems team, and also underestimated the "Seven Asura Illusion".

In a completely new field, how can a beginner compete with someone who has studied it in depth?
Within the illusion, a flash of light and shadow appeared.
An endless darkness, like the end of the world, enveloped the scene of Holy Soul Village.

From behind, came the sound of pattering rain.

"Han Tao?"

Han Tao turned around and looked: "Ning Rongrong?"

"No, it's the Azure Lotus Illusionary Heart Lotus Root!"

Beneath his left hand, the acacia blossoms, still vibrant and beautiful, remained as he immersed himself in the illusion.

"Is it a layer of illusion, or a second layer of illusion?"

Han Tao considered two possibilities.

This newly constructed illusion is very fake, far less realistic than the one Han Tao created, which he could escape from at any time.

There is none of the following: soul power frequency, elemental characteristics, or martial soul restraint.

Zhang Jingyang, Dong Heguang, Zhu Zizhang, and others saw Han Tao trapped in an illusion, his expression extremely confident.

Dong Heguang's tone carried a hint of malice:
"You will suffer endless torment in this illusion until you die of a mental breakdown."

"No one can save you, and no one will avenge you, as a gift to commemorate Teacher Shi Nian."

Han Tao retorted, "Ha, who are you trying to scare!"

The illusion has one principle:
Soul Masters cannot die in the illusion.

The individual is a reflection of consciousness; as long as consciousness exists, the illusion will never die.

Moreover, if a Soul Master truly feels a fatal threat, it will trigger their physical instincts, causing them to awaken in reality.

However, Han Tao did not expose them, and asked:
"Whose illusion is this?"

Zhang Jingyang couldn't keep a secret: "This is the Martial Soul Fusion Skill of our seven Soul Masters, the pinnacle achievement of Teacher Shi Nian, a seven-in-one synchronized illusion."

"Synchronized Illusion!"

"The illusion can be synchronized?" Han Tao asked, looking puzzled.

It seems that Shi Nian had something up his sleeve.

Moreover, this "Sunset Forest Tunnel" is clearly a weakness in my heart, a memory I once feared most. "At that time, Tang San dreamt of his past life."

"Hai Wang Douluo reappears, Xiao Wu sacrifices herself."

Attack the enemy's psychological weaknesses, causing them to fall into their trap without realizing it, thus achieving control.

The Seven Asura Illusions revealed his most feared memories.

This means
"Shi Nian, you deceived me!"

The illusionary realm can be created, clearly allowing one to access other people's memories.

However, no one understands this ability, nor does anyone use it effectively.

"Shi Nian, you deserve to die!"

Han Tao felt a chill run down his spine.

Those who feel deceived will have to pay the price!
The sixth level of the Distraction Control Technique involves mastering the microscopic world. Han Tao projects his consciousness into the real world.

Within the illusion, Han Tao summoned the Heartbreak Red Acacia.

In the real world, Han Tao summoned the Blue Silver Grass.

"Manipulating illusions while simultaneously wielding reality," the distraction control technique demonstrated its power.

In the real world, this is the fourth spirit ring on Han Tao's martial spirit.

The black, ten-thousand-year soul ring lit up amidst everyone's attention!
"Ten thousand year soul ring?!"

A tremendous uproar erupted from the audience.

Even when Han Tao first revealed his martial soul, he had already displayed a ten-thousand-year soul ring.

However, many Soul Masters suspect that it is fake, that it is just a thousand-year Soul Ring with a different color, and not a real ten-thousand-year Soul Ring.

At this moment, this powerful soul skill, nearing 50,000 years old, unleashed its power for the first time.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Blue Silver Poison Barrier!"

The deep, purest green swept across the scene, spreading and diffusing.

Even to every corner of the Soul Arena.

The emerald green of the phosphorescent material was like an abyss, swallowing everything around it.

It's not just highly toxic, it also limits perception, vision, and range of movement!

This is an extremely terrifying soul skill.

Zhang Jingyang, Dong Heguang, and the other seven Soul Masters were still immersed in their illusions and did not notice the changes on the battlefield.

"dangerous!"

"In the real world, there is danger and an emergency!"

Shen Xinshui discovered the problem and issued a warning.

Her martial soul is a transparent gem, bordering on illusion and reality, and is generally of little use.

Therefore, she was ranked last on the Seven Gems team's roster.

"Ha!" Han Tao chuckled dismissively.

"It's too late!"

"The illusion has enveloped me, but the poisonous barrier has also enveloped you."

Zhang Jingyang reacted quickly: "Retreat!"

"Dissolve the Martial Soul Fusion!"

Unable to pose an effective threat to Han Tao within the illusion, a decision was immediately made and orders were issued.

The other team members followed his instructions, the Martial Soul Fusion was dispelled, and the Seven Asura Illusion was broken.

Seven Gems team, back to the real world.

"What is this?" Dong Heguang asked incredulously.

The instant the illusion shattered, Liu Haosi activated his millennium-old soul skill at top speed: "Blazing Fire Shield!"

Ruby and fire element are the nemesis of Blue Silver Grass, and also a backup plan prepared by Canghui Academy.

The protective shield enveloped the seven Soul Masters, isolating them from the Azure Phosphorus Poison Barrier.

"Defensive soul skills?"

Han Tao is least afraid of defensive soul skills.

The theory of soul power frequency can achieve the penetration of soul power, especially effective against defensive soul skills.

In 14 seconds, the fiery shield broke.

A terrifying poisonous barrier, radiating green light, passed through a golden ring of fire.

It was as if a million venomous snakes were attacking their bodies, constantly tearing at them and devouring their souls.
