Wuhun element periodic table, rubbing black hole in Douluo

Chapter 389: The unique characteristic of numerical monsters is that they require a lot of skill to operate (meaning no skill is required).
He first impressed the top teachers and researchers in the academy with his groundbreaking "element theory," making everyone look up to him in terms of knowledge.

Now, they are using this almost provocative method to incite the hostility of all the trainees, preparing to use absolute power to crush all the challengers.

Ju Zi was incredibly intelligent, and a thought gradually became clear in her mind: Lin You, you want to conquer with wisdom first, then crush everyone with force, until everyone can only look up to you, right? To deeply imprint your name, your theories, and your power in the hearts of everyone at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy?
She had a vague feeling that this might not be a good thing for the students at the academy.

The feeling of being utterly defeated by outsiders in one's proudest field and then suppressed by force must be extremely unpleasant.

But she couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong, so she could only scratch her head slightly, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes.

She had no idea that if Lin You could hear her thoughts, he would probably laugh and explain a term she had never heard before: Stockholm syndrome.

In the field of soul tools, which they were most proud of, they were crushed by outside "soul masters" with more basic theoretical knowledge. Their pride was shattered. Although they didn't say it, they must have been holding back their unwillingness to admit defeat.

Now, what he needs to do is use his fists to completely shatter this momentum and destroy their last illusions.

At that point, the remaining emotions will be either deep fear or absolute worship of the strong.

The worship of the strong is an instinct ingrained in the bones of a Soul Master.

This is exactly the effect he wanted.

The commotion on the trial grounds was like boiling water, and it took a long time to subside.

After waiting for a while, seeing that the crowd was still agitated, Jing Hongchen had no choice but to release a trace of the pressure of a Title Douluo-level being.

The immense aura pressed down like an invisible giant hand, instantly lowering the temperature within the arena.

"quiet!"

He spoke again, his voice imbued with soul power, clearly reaching everyone's ears.

The noise gradually subsided, but countless eyes remained fixed on Lin You in the center of the field and the glaring banner behind him.

"Exchange and competition, the first round!"

Jing Hongchen's voice returned to its previous booming tone, "Please welcome the first challenger!"

As he finished speaking, a tall young man strode out from the passage on the other side of the training ground.

The young man was dressed in a silver-gray Soul Master combat uniform, his face filled with undisguised excitement and fighting spirit.

He was in his early twenties, with sharp eyes, a steady gait, and the unique soul power fluctuations of a fifth-level soul master.

As soon as he stepped onto the field, cheers of support erupted from the stands.

"Keep it up, Senior Brother Liu!"

"Kill that Shrek guy!"

"Let him know how powerful our Sun Moon Academy is!"

The young man clearly enjoyed the spotlight. He waved towards the stands, a confident smile on his face. He could almost see himself defeating Lin You, achieving instant fame, gaining entry into the Mingde Hall, and having the Hall Master personally craft a soul tool for him!

He stopped ten meters in front of Lin You, head held high, and announced loudly, "Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, fifth-year student, fifth-level Soul Master, Liu Ming!" Lin You looked at the other's almost overflowing excitement and confidence, but his face remained calm and composed as he calmly replied, "Shrek Academy, exchange student, four-ring Soul Master, Lin You."

The brief announcement of names concluded.

On the high platform, Jing Hongchen's gaze sharpened, and he said in a deep voice, "Both sides prepare!"

Liu Ming took a deep breath, his eyes instantly becoming focused. Soul power surged from his body, and several soul tool components gleaming with metallic luster appeared around him, ready to be unleashed.

Lin You remained standing calmly, his hands hanging naturally at his sides, seemingly without making any movement.

"The match begins!" Jing Hongchen swung his arm down sharply!

Jing Hongchen swung his arm down suddenly.

In an instant, a fierce glint flashed in Liu Ming's eyes. He pushed his soul power to the limit and, without the slightest hesitation, raised his hand and unleashed a blinding soul guide ray, shooting straight at Lin You, who was a hundred meters away. The attack of a level five soul master was as fast as lightning and powerful enough to pierce through steel plates!
In the stands, all the students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy held their breath, eager to see the arrogant Shrek kid dodge in a sorry state, or even be seriously injured by this attack!

However, the moment the soul-guided ray left his body, Lin You moved.

He stomped his foot hard, and the solid alloy floor seemed to sink slightly. He shot forward like an arrow, no, faster than an arrow!
He leaned forward slightly, his legs bursting with astonishing power, and he practically skimmed the ground, transforming into a dark green afterimage as he hurtled towards Liu Ming.

That speed was beyond imagination!
The soul-guided ray grazed his afterimage and shot backward, creating a ripple on the protective shield in the distance.

"So fast." Liu Ming's pupils contracted sharply, and alarm bells rang in his mind!

In the blink of an eye, from the moment he fired the soul guide ray to the moment he realized something was wrong, Lin You had instantly closed the distance of 150 meters to less than 50 meters.

Is this even human? Is this the speed a Soul Master could achieve?!
Liu Ming was, after all, an elite member of the academy with rich combat experience.

Although shocked, he reacted extremely quickly, almost instinctively.

With a flick of his left hand, a small cannon barrel popped out and fired a close-range shockwave at the charging Lin You. A pale yellow halo instantly spread out, intending to slow Lin You's speed with the shockwave.

At the same time, he waved his right hand, and an energy net formed from soul power and crackling with electricity opened out of thin air, covering Lin You.

Immediately afterwards, a soul-guided turret on his shoulder quickly locked onto Lin You, red light condensed at the muzzle, and a high-explosive soul-guided shell carrying terrifying energy fluctuations roared out!

Oscillation deceleration, power grid control, high-explosive bombardment!

This set of combo moves was fluid and seamless, demonstrating the combat skills of a Level 5 Soul Master.

Many teachers in the stands nodded in approval. Liu Ming's approach was textbook-perfect. Facing a high-speed advancing enemy, he first slowed down and controlled it, then covered it with a powerful attack. Theoretically, it was flawless.

Ju Zi unconsciously clenched her fists, her knuckles turning slightly white from the force.

She was also a Soul Master and knew the power of Liu Ming's attack, especially the electric net and the high-explosive Soul Guidance Cannon. If they were hit, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Lin You, get out of the way!" Ke Ke couldn't help but whisper.

However, to everyone's astonishment, including Liu Ming's own, it was—

Lin You showed no intention of dodging at all!
He ignored the shockwave that was enough to disrupt a Soul Master's actions, ignored the electric net that enveloped him, and didn't even slow down in the slightest. He went straight for the high-explosive Soul Guidance Projectile that trailed a flame and exuded a destructive aura!
