Douluo Continent: This Soul Master is Too Bizarre and Unpredictable

"That was close, we almost failed!"

Hu Liena felt fortunate to have successfully drawn Mu Yang's consciousness into the illusion.

Aside from methods of cultivating mental power, mental strength is also related to soul power level to a certain extent. If her soul power level were one level lower, or if Mu Yang's soul power level were one level higher, then her Heavenly Fox Illusion Soul Bone Technique would basically be ineffective against Mu Yang.

Overjoyed, Hu Liena smiled, looking just like a fox who had stolen a chicken.

Subsequently, Hu Liena's consciousness also sank into the illusion.

She wouldn't need to do this against an opponent whose mental strength is far weaker than hers, but Mu Yang's mental strength is very strong, only slightly weaker than hers. If she doesn't immerse her consciousness in the illusion to control it, she'll probably be able to easily see through Mu Yang's weakness and break free from the illusion's control.

Ultimately, the Heavenly Fox Illusion Soul Bone Technique is just a simple illusion.

However, once a pure illusion skill is exposed, its effectiveness will be greatly reduced. In fact, if there are too many flaws, the opponent with weaker mental strength than the user can break free from the illusion.

Under Hu Liena's control, in the illusion that is almost seamlessly connected to the outside world, time is slightly slower than the time in the outside world.

At this moment, before the match officially started, the referee signaled to both teams to activate their martial spirits.

Just like when they were outside, Mu Yang remained inactive, but Hu Liena was different; she created a huge scene.

"Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, Possession!"

As a delicate shout rang out, a huge phantom of a nine-tailed white fox flashed behind Hu Liena, its ears stretched out, transforming into a pair of white furry fox ears, and nine white fox tails stretched out from behind it, with one soul ring after another blooming.

In the blink of an eye, nine spirit rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, and red—circled around Hu Liena, who was possessed by her martial spirit.

Upon seeing this, Mu Yang's eyelids twitched involuntarily.

Playing this outrageously, not only did his martial soul undergo a super evolution and his soul power level skyrocket, but he even managed to create a 100,000-year ninth soul ring. Do you really think your Uncle Mu is an idiot who would believe that all of this is real?

However, just as Mu Yang was secretly complaining, he felt a spiritual force invading his sea of ​​consciousness, attempting to tamper with his cognition.

Mu Yang thought for a moment and did not resist this spiritual power, but he also kept his mind focused to ensure that his perception was not tampered with.

The next moment, in Mu Yang's perception, Hu Liena, who was standing on the opposite side of the arena, exuded a terrifying aura, as if Hu Liena had really become a nine-ring titled Douluo.

However, Hu Liena, who had achieved the title of Nine-Ring Title Douluo, gave Mu Yang the feeling that this unreal illusion was like a paper tiger that could be easily punctured.

"That's interesting~"

Mu Yang silently commented.

Clearly, this illusion-type soul bone skill allows Hu Liena to transform into a GM in the illusion, as if she were a creator god.

But if the effect is only this, then it is obviously not enough.

After all, the flaws were too great. In the common understanding, the age limit of 25 years old for participating in the Soul Master Competition is not enough for the contestants to cultivate to the level of a nine-ring Title Douluo, even if they have full innate soul power.

Therefore, this illusion-type soul bone skill has also derived another ability: to tamper with the target's perception, making all the irrationalities reasonable, and making them believe from the bottom of their hearts that everything Hu Liena herself has shown is true.

"You...you...a Title Douluo? A 100,000-year-old spirit ring?"

Looking at the nine spirit rings emanating from Hu Liena's body, Mu Yang pretended to be shocked and said.

"Hmph~, little Mu Yang, why don't you quickly pay your respects to His Majesty the Heavenly Fox?"

Hu Liena snorted and said with an arrogant expression.

Upon hearing this, Mu Yang's face darkened.

You expect me, Mu Yang, to respectfully address you as Your Majesty, Heavenly Fox? Unless you, Hu Liena, have truly attained the title of Title Douluo by now!

Although that's what he was thinking, Mu Yang's mind was racing, trying to figure out what strategy he should use to deal with Hu Liena, who was pretending to be a big shot.

Suddenly, Mu Yang's eyes lit up as he came up with a great idea.

"Hu Liena, you are truly a super genius unprecedented in the history of the Soul Master world, and you have already cultivated to the rank of Title Douluo?"

Mu Yang pretended to be somewhat incredulous and asked.

Although his perception was altered by Hu Liena in the script, it is reasonable that his perception was not completely reversed because his mental strength was only slightly "weaker" than Hu Liena's.

"snort--"

Without saying a word, Hu Liena snorted coldly, and a terrifying pressure of soul power descended upon Mu Yang.

Suddenly, a strange feeling welled up in Mu Yang's heart.

This pressure of soul power felt like falling into an abyss, yet it was also like a gentle breeze on one's face—indescribably strange.

Enduring the terrifying pressure of his soul power, Mu Yang gritted his teeth: "It's fake, it's all fake! Hu Liena, if you were truly a Title Douluo, you would definitely be able to see through my soul power level. Just tell me what my soul power level is!"

Hu Liena: "."

What is your soul power level? My teacher never told me, so how would I know?

You're making things difficult for me, Fat Fox!

"Level 57?"

Hu Liena said uncertainly.

"Haha~, I told you, this was all fake! Hu Liena, let me tell you, I am a level 56 Soul King!"

Mu Yang made up a story.

"Level 56? Got it!"

Hu Liena smiled and nodded, then, at the cost of consuming her mental energy, she once again used her ability to alter cognition to temporarily erase Mu Yang's memory of this conversation.

Then, the familiar scene played out again.

"Little Mu Yang, why don't you quickly pay your respects to His Majesty the Heavenly Fox?"

"It's all fake! Hu Liena, just tell me my soul power level!"

"Hmph—you ignorant frog in a well, with the mere strength of a level 56 Soul King, dare to boast before me, Douluo?"

Hu Liena said, feigning disdain.

You, Mu Yang, probably never guessed that your great-aunt had already found out your soul power level, right?

The Celestial Fox Illusion Soul Bone Technique: the more the target believes the illusionary world is real, the deeper they will fall into it, and the more difficult it will be for them to escape the control of the illusion.

As for pretending to be a top-tier player with a banned account?

Hu Liena admitted that she had exaggerated, but it didn't matter. As long as Mu Yang believed her, it wouldn't have any impact.

Of course, the reason she had to act like a big shot was because once the target left the illusion, the memories she had blocked with her abilities would be restored.

Mu Yang is quite the show-off, and he almost wiped out his own Spirit Hall team, which Hu Liena noted down.

I'll make him apologize respectfully, and then give him a good beating. That's absolutely necessary.

And for something as exhilarating as this, not only must you remember it yourself, but you must also make sure Mu Yang remembers it, otherwise, wouldn't you fail to achieve the doubled happiness effect?

This is like a woman who likes to show off; she can't carry an overly expensive bag when she goes shopping, otherwise no one will recognize her, and all her showing off will be for nothing. (End of Chapter)
