Douluo, my clone Groudon

Chapter 202 Mind-Based Martial Soul

As the Golden Dragon Claw's edge drew its last golden light across the arena, Tang Wulin, panting, withdrew his martial soul.

"Concession."

Tang Wulin won this battle with great difficulty, but he ultimately triumphed.

Gasps rose and fell from the second-year students' ranks. Those who had initially held a dismissive attitude now took it seriously. Shrek Academy only admitted students every three years; if they lost to their juniors, they would become the laughingstock of their class!

As Gula's robes billowed, he stood in the center of the arena, the lingering ripples of soul power still visible at the corners of his robes. He pointed a finger at the ten students opposite him:
"All of you come at me at once, I'm going to take on ten of you."

Calm words, like pebbles thrown into a lake, evoked a huge reaction from the second-year students.

"Insanity!"

"Be bold!"

"Aren't you afraid of biting your tongue if you talk big?"

One of the Shrek Academy members was filled with righteous indignation and wished he could immediately go down and beat up Gura to defend the honor of Shrek Academy.

A hint of doubt flashed in Yali's eyes. Was Gula really a reincarnated deity? If so, why would he bully the weak?
She didn't understand the reason behind it, but nodded to the proctor and agreed to Gula's request to fight ten people at once.

Ten youths were given permission to step onto the arena together, with Yuan En Ye Hui seemingly leading the group. Although she (he) had not yet broken through to the fourth-ring Soul Master level, her top-tier Titan Giant Ape Martial Soul allowed her to firmly hold the position of the number one in the second year.

"Both sides release their Martial Souls... Begin!"

The proctor announced the start of the battle. Ten people stood on one side of the arena, releasing various dazzling martial spirits, making it appear somewhat crowded.

Especially with the Titan Giant Ape Martial Soul attached to him, Yuanen Yehui's size suddenly increased to three meters tall, standing on the arena like a small mountain, exuding a fierce aura.

"Shrek's honor is not for you to trample on!"

Zhou Hanqiu, the Soul Master of the Fiery Lion, was the first to leap up, his crimson mane fluttering wildly amidst the surging soul power.

The other nine people spread out in formation in tacit agreement, and various colored soul ring lights intertwined in the sky above the arena. Frost and flame carved a clear boundary on the bluestone ground.

With the Gula Sherabi Martial Soul in possession, its translucent wings appeared frail in front of the Titan Giant Ape's massive body, but in reality, its agile body completely disregarded the ten people.

Gula raised his hand and flicked his fingers, his soul power condensing into a semi-physical seed.

Tenfold increase in parasitic seeds!
The seemingly slow but actually fast parasitic seeds, full of vitality, had already transformed into streams of light, like a giant net spreading out to cover the ten people.

The Shrek Academy students, all with extensive combat experience, recognized that the Parasitic Seed was likely some kind of parasitic soul skill, and they all tried to dodge it or actively break it.

For example, Zhou Hanqiu, possessed by the Fiery Lion, was engulfed in flames, intending to burn the seeds in front of him to ashes. However, the ultimate wood possessed its own divine power, and its vigorous vitality could not be burned away instantly even by the ultimate fire, let alone ordinary flames.

Especially since parasitic seeds are actually semi-solid before parasitism, they are even more difficult to prevent in advance.

Just as Zhou Hanqiu's crimson flames condensed, he saw one of the seeds pierce through the wall of fire, unfurling into vines amidst the flickering flames. To his horror, he discovered that these vines were siphoning his soul power, and the once surging flames gradually dimmed within the green veins.

Despite her enormous size, Yuan Enhui was not clumsy at all and was also skilled in speed. However, she ultimately suffered from her large size and had no time to dodge.

So she took the initiative and attacked, slamming her fists into the ground, causing the ring to crack with spiderweb-like patterns.

First Soul Skill: Titan's Power!
Her three-meter-tall Titan form used the recoil to propel herself into the air, her right leg sweeping out with a deafening roar as it tore through the air. However, the translucent butterfly wings on Gura's back merely trembled slightly, and he appeared behind her like a phantom.

"too slow."

Gula's fingertip touched the back of Yuanen Yehui's neck, and the last seed sank into her bulging veins.

She was the last one. After parasitizing her, Gula smiled and raised his hand to reveal the Six Senses Pure Lotus Seed that had just sprouted in his palm.

To cultivate a plant avatar, Gula's own soul power is at most that of a seed. Only by absorbing the soul power of others can the seed establish a foundation that embraces all things and embark on a path similar to his but completely different from his own.

Inside the lotus seed was a phantom figure. Nourished by the soul power of ten people, its aura continuously increased, and the primordial energy of heaven and earth converged upon it. In the blink of an eye, it possessed the equivalent of ten years of cultivation.

It is worth mentioning that this incarnation is the only female version, and it is unknown what the fictional timeline it belongs to is like.

Many thoughts arise in the blink of an eye, while only a moment has passed in the outside world.

The proctors whispered among themselves. Yali's pupils contracted slightly as she saw the lotus seed suspended in Gula's palm spinning wildly, the absorbed soul power condensing into ten points of light between the petals. What startled her most was the gradually forming female silhouette inside the lotus seed—what kind of soul skill was that?

"Fifth brother, be born."

Gula clenched his fingers as he whispered, and the lotus seeds made a crisp cracking sound.

The illusory figure suddenly opened its eyes, instantly turning the vortex of soul power around the arena into a vacuum. As the figure stepped barefoot onto the arena, the lotus shell transformed into green clothing, and the jade vines hanging by her ears grew wildly, reclaiming all the remaining parasitic seeds.

The Six Senses Pure Lotus is not good at fighting; its essence is more like a medicinal herb, similar to other immortal herbs.

So Gula simply allowed it to be born directly, awaken its martial soul, and become its "fourth soul skill" on the surface.

Guided by the various soul powers of Gula and ten soul masters, the fifth incarnation awakens the martial soul, the Glazed Lotus Heart Lamp.

Its full name is the Pure and Clear Crystal Lotus Heart-Purifying Lamp. It resembles wood and fire, yet it is neither wood nor fire. It is a pure spiritual and mental martial soul born from the middle ground of the two, but also transcends the two.

Perhaps it was Yuan Enhui's Fallen Angel Martial Soul that triggered something, causing the awakened Martial Soul to develop a strange mental attribute instead of a Spirit-type Martial Soul, and it may even become the only mental-type Martial Soul.

Gula was momentarily lost in thought as the many wonderful uses of transforming into a martial spirit came to mind.

opportunity!

Yuan Enhui's third spirit ring suddenly lit up, and the giant ape phantom solidified behind him.

Vajra Titan! A soul skill that amplifies all attributes, and it is also the most suitable type of soul skill for the Titan Giant Ape Martial Soul. It has no fancy effects, only ultimate physical attributes.

Gula comprehended the mysteries of transformation, but the transformation itself possessed the mysteries of martial soul innately. Yet, the moment she leaped up, a blue lotus-shaped candle appeared in her hand.

"Soul skill or real person?"

Yuan Enhui was puzzled, but her actions were a fraction of a second faster than her thoughts.

The shockwave generated by the collision of their fists swept across the sky, and the second soul skill released an air cannon, compressing air into an attack that blocked the avatar's escape space.

The response was perfectly appropriate, but the Lotus Lantern avatar caught the flaw—Yuan En Ye Hui was used to using his right arm for close combat, while his left arm released an air cannon, and the flow of soul power in his right arm was a second slower than that in his left shoulder.

This slight difference, which is not obvious in battle, is now clearly visible in the "heart lamp" state of mind, where the body and mind are as clear as crystal and free from all worries—the mind transcends the physical body and is faster than the spirit!
