Douluo: I use shadow to open Shura

Chapter 188 The Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire

Soon after, Tang San joined the team, and the group began searching for suitable soul beasts using Mo Yu's Netherworld Crow clones.

Thanks to Mo Yu's terrifying search ability, they quickly found a suitable soul beast.

A thousand-year-old king of the earth.

The King of the Earth is the source of Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Roaring Strike soul skill in the original timeline.

The Earth King before everyone was a thousand-year-old white scorpion with only two segments of its tailbone, which indicated that it had only a little over a thousand years of cultivation, not fifteen hundred years.

It was just a mere thousand-year-old soul beast, so Zhao Wuji didn't need to lift a finger, nor did Mo Yu and Xiao Wu.

Apart from Oscar, a food-type Soul Master, who didn't participate, everyone else tacitly surrounded the Earth King.

Hunting spirit beasts can improve your personal strength and teamwork skills.

Nowadays, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's relationship is much better than when they first met in the original timeline.

Although Ma Hongjun and Tang San don't have strong teamwork abilities, Tang San is a control-type Soul Master. With his two lifetimes, he has strong mental power and impressive martial arts talent, making him someone who can perfectly cooperate with others.

Thus, the King of the Earth was surrounded by the four and had no way to escape.

Now, Tang San's martial soul can be transformed into a gun-type martial soul. If his appearance could also be changed to have blue hair, then even if Tang San participated in the continent-wide advanced martial soul academy competition, no one would recognize him as Tang San.

But this is all for later.

Meanwhile, Mo Yu and Xiao Wu stood at the back, quite satisfied with the teamwork of the others.

However, the reminders that need to be given still need to be given.

Mo Yu said directly to the group, "The Earth King is a high-level soul beast. Its flames become stronger as its age increases. At first, it is the weakest red flame, then a white flame, and finally a blue flame."

"Fatty, if you want to obtain a good soul skill, you can learn from the changes in flames and obtain a soul skill that enhances flames."

Although Mo Yu had previously said that Ma Hongjun should acquire a soul skill that strengthens the Phoenix bloodline and grants him the Flame of Life, now that they have encountered a suitable soul beast like the King of the Earth, there's no need to waste it.

"Oh, right, also, the Earth King's attack comes from underground and has a shockwave attack that can make people dizzy. You guys have to be careful. Fatty, if you can get a soul skill that enhances flames and adds shockwave power, that would be great too."

Mo Yu revealed the information he knew, and then quietly canceled the control over the Earth King's shadow.

Without Mo Yu's mental suppression, the Earth King watched Dai Mubai and Tang San getting closer and closer, feeling anxious and fearful, and had no choice but to fight to the death.

Soon, the Earth King planned to take advantage of the others' inattention to pour all his soul power into the ground and then use the Magma Earth-Shattering Strike.

However, Tang San was even faster than the Earth King, who had already entered his attack range.

"The first soul skill, blue and silver entanglement!"

Tang San's Blue Silver Grass instantly rose from the ground, and in just a moment, thick strands of Blue Silver Grass, harder than alloy, quickly bound the Earth King.

Tang San did not use any other soul skills after that, and the Earth King was powerless to resist.

With Tang San's current Blue Silver Grass abilities, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he's even stronger than the Blue Silver Emperor in some respects.

After all, the Blue Silver Emperor's strength lies in its vitality and inexhaustible soul power, while Tang San's current Blue Silver Grass is powerful because the Black Jade Divine Bamboo gives it a hardness comparable to a top-tier weapon spirit.

After being bound by the Blue Silver Grass, the Earth King was unable to breathe fire to burn it away.

Even the sparks spat out by the Earth King during his struggle couldn't burn Tang San's Blue Silver Grass.

Tang San's first soul skill is earth-attribute, and the earth-attribute soul skill gives his Blue Silver Grass some fire resistance.

At the same time, the moment the King of the Earth was bound.

Dai Mubai and the others were getting bored. "Wait, they defeated them so easily? I think we should just hunt our own soul beasts on our own!"

Ma Hongjun was speechless. He had been hoping to put on a show of real phoenix flames in front of the others.

"Next time, it seems that after obtaining the immortal herb, we are already far stronger than soul beasts of the same level."

Dai Mubai nodded, agreeing with Ma Hongjun's words.

"Fatty, you should get your own spirit ring."

Mo Yu shouted, and a shadowy figure from the underworld completely suppressed the Earth King once again.

With Mo Yu's current strength, he is confident that he can control even a Soul Douluo powerhouse like Liu Erlong for a period of time using the Shadow of the Netherworld, let alone a mere thousand-year-old Earth King.

After using the Shadow of the Netherworld to control Ma Hongjun, Ma Hongjun quickly used Phoenix Fire Line to burn the Earth King to death. Even Tang San's Blue Silver Grass couldn't last long.

Before long, Ma Hongjun rushed towards the Earth King to absorb the purple soul ring floating from the Earth King's corpse.

Seeing that Ma Hongjun's fire damage could easily burn away his Blue Silver Grass, Tang San thought of using the Ice and Fire Refining Body to find a way to become immune to the weakness of ice and fire.

On the other side, Xiao Wu watched as the Earth King was burned alive, unwilling to look, and simply hugged Mo Yu, burying her head in Mo Yu's chest.

"I wonder what kind of spirit ring the fat guy can get?"

Oscar looked worried. Although he and Ma Hongjun didn't get along well and often bickered, he was still the one who cared about Ma Hongjun the most.

"Don't worry, it won't be too bad."

Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing returned at this moment, with a slight smile.

With Mo Yu providing a basic direction, even if Ma Hongjun strays off course, he's still on that path.

At most, it will transform from an immortal phoenix into a phoenix adept at destruction.

It's good that the flames are stronger; it will make it easier to inherit the position of the God of Fire in the future.

As time passed, Ma Hongjun successfully absorbed the spirit ring after a period of time.

"Hahaha, my soul skill is the Heavenly Fire Three Transformations, which can enhance the power of my flames by 50%. With each additional soul ring, the power increases by 50%, and it also reduces soul power consumption, up to a maximum of 200%."

"Moreover, my flames also inherit the earth king's power of shock, with a 50% chance of stunning the opponent."

Ma Hongjun ran to the squad with a smug look on his face to show off.

His soul skill is a 50% enhancement of basic flames, and he can change the color of the flames three times, which is a 200% enhancement.

However, since Ma Hongjun's flames were already so powerful, the shockwave seemed rather useless.

Such intense flames are enough for him to fight opponents of higher levels; they've already burned anyone who could be burned to death. As for powerful enemies, knocking them unconscious probably won't be of much use.

"Fatty, your flames are out of this world."

Oscar gave a thumbs-up and praised him.

"It's truly heaven-defying. This percentage-based enhancement is even stronger than the Martial Soul True Body of a typical Soul Saint."

Dai Mubai nodded repeatedly, laughing as he playfully ruffled Ma Hongjun's rooster-like hair.

"Alright, let's continue searching for soul beasts."

With Mo Yu's command, the team sprang into action once again.
