Chapter 71 The Second Soul Skill That Offends Heaven and Earth

"Roar~"

At this moment, looking down at the trembling Rockhorn Elephant below, Golden Scales grinned ferociously and couldn't help but nod his big head in satisfaction.

"Golden Scales..."

Suddenly, a gloomy voice echoed from the depths of its heart.

"No, that won't work either."

"?!"

Jinlin's expression brightened, and he immediately suppressed his aura, replacing it with the "kind" smile that his master often wore. He looked down at the Rock Horned Elephant and gathered light attribute energy in his mouth.

Not far away, seeing this, Wang Zhao chanted the soul incantation again, but what lit up was not the yellow soul ring, but that magnificent deep purple!

"Second Soul Skill, Ethereal Light Lurks!"

The moment he finished speaking, a bright, dazzling, and strangely unusual blue light suddenly appeared above the Rock Horn Elephant's head.

The Rockhorn Elephant sensed something was wrong and immediately had a very bad feeling. It frantically shook its head, as if trying to shake off the emerald light on its head.

However, it was destined to be a futile effort, because this emerald light not only had no physical form, but was also not an offensive soul skill.

Perhaps it can be considered a special buff, oh, and a negative one at that.

boom!

At this moment, the golden scales in the sky had finished accumulating their energy and exhaled it from their mouths.

A bright energy surge struck the Rockhorn Elephant instantly. The Rockhorn Elephant instinctively closed its eyes, quickly felt a jolt in its heart, and then felt dizzy.

Is this the dragon's attack?

Absolutely terrifying!

After it "woke up" a bit, it instinctively wanted to fall to the ground in a disheveled state, but suddenly, it opened its eyes again, somewhat dazed.

After carefully examining its own body, it only felt...

It seems like nothing serious happened to me?!

Is it just my imagination?

Just then, the next energy surge from the golden scales struck it.

It then carefully sensed it again.

vomit!

Suddenly, a strong feeling of nausea surged into its mind, along with...

pain?

That's all!

Sensing this, the Rockhorn Elephant raised its head again, its gaze towards the Golden Scales filled with a hint of disdain.

So it was all show and no substance.

This is supposed to be a dragon? Pshaw!

Admittedly, it is not very intelligent, but it still can't help but feel a kind of disdain for the golden scales.

boom!

Seemingly sensing the "wounded dragon" gaze of the Rock Horned Elephant, Golden Scale quickly launched its third energy attack.

This time, the attack that hit the Rockhorn Elephant was clearly not weak, and it immediately tore its skin open. However, before it could even roar in pain, it unusually did not feel anything.

This is... numb... numb.

At this moment, the rock horn elephant was in great pain, its senses constantly switching between pain and numbness, and finally it collapsed to the ground, unable to control itself.

The fourth energy surge is coming.

In an instant, the Rockhorn Elephant was severely injured, relentlessly eroded by intense light energy, followed by a strange sensation...

diarrhea.

Not far away, Die and Wang Zhao seemed to have seen something, and involuntarily moved a little further away.

After the fifth energy impact.

The rock horn elephant was on the verge of death, and its already blurred consciousness could not conceal the indescribable pain it was experiencing.

It hurts!

The pain is so intense I can hardly breathe!

It hurts so much!

"Let's end it here."

In the distance, Wang Zhao's gaze was quite complex.

Countless rays of light, as if accumulated over a long period of time, were instantly unleashed from the rock-horned elephant.

next moment--

boom!

It exploded, and the powerful aftershocks spread dozens of meters away.

after.

"Wang Zhao, your second soul skill..."

Butterfly looked at the boy beside her and suddenly felt something indescribable.

"A bit insidious, isn't it?"

Wang Zhao summoned Jin Lin back, his gaze complex, which quickly turned deep and even resolute.

"However, there is no denying that this soul skill is very powerful."

Just now, listening to the mournful howls of the Rock Horned Elephant, Wang Zhao felt a pang of emotion for some reason. It wasn't that he hadn't killed soul beasts under Bibi Dong's guidance before, but today was only the second time he had felt this way.

Although, as a human, there is nothing wrong with him killing the rock elephant.

The strong slaughtering the weak, the strong dominating the weak... these are just manifestations of the law of the jungle.

He just doesn't like to claim that this is a righteous act. However, there's probably no need to think too much about it. After all, he used to jokingly say that he's a gentleman who doesn't stand under dangerous walls, but the key point is still "not standing under dangerous walls".

In this fantasy world, even hunting spirit rings is a sin for a true gentleman, so Wang Zhao knew very well that he couldn't be a gentleman.

It's already quite good that you don't become a hypocrite who kills soul beasts while pretending to be righteous.

The only thing he did wrong that made him feel so sorry for himself was that he violated the principle of "killing without abusing life".

To put it simply, this second soul skill, in the words of my previous life, is... contrary to the laws of nature!

It can only be said that anything related to "drugs" is inevitably difficult to describe.

The renowned Azure Scale Douluo, Dugu Bo, must have felt the same way.

And so it is.

After thinking it over, Wang Zhao's gaze turned serious as he took his second soul skill seriously.

A knife can kill people, or it can cut vegetables.

The key is not the knife, but whether the person wielding it is a cook or a killer.

So, is he a cook or an assassin?

Normally, he would be content to be just a cook, but when forced to become an assassin, he wouldn't hesitate.

"..."

Die silently looked at the boy beside her and suddenly felt that he seemed to have matured a bit all of a sudden.

Although, this kid didn't act childish before, or rather, he was just pretending to be childish.

At this time.

"All things have five elements, and the body has five aggregates: form, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness; the spiritual light of the five aggregates is hidden in the spiritual treasury."

"Heart injury causes dizziness, liver injury causes vomiting, spleen injury causes numbness, kidney injury causes diarrhea, and lung injury causes pain."

Wang Zhao's gaze was leisurely, and he naturally trusted Die, so he did not shy away from speaking and began to narrate on his own.

"This is the effect of my second soul skill, 'Hidden Light'."

"To describe it completely, it should be like this—"

"Second Soul Skill, Eerie Light Ambush: Lock onto a target with your mind, consume soul power, and cause an emerald green eerie light mark to appear above the target's head. In the ensuing battle, the target will 'inevitably' be attacked by the golden scales, and the damage from each attack will increase by 20% of the original damage. That is, the first attack will be 120%, the second 140%, the third 160%, and so on, until it disappears after five attacks. While enduring the five attacks, the target will successively feel five negative effects similar to poisoning: dizziness, nausea, paralysis, diarrhea, and pain."

"This second soul skill can only lock onto one target at a time, and cannot lock onto the same target consecutively within ten minutes. Once locked, it cannot be canceled. The effect of the soul skill will dissipate on its own after five moves or ten minutes have passed. So it is a little bit of a limitation. In short, it is a powerful soul skill that is suitable for both one-on-one battles and multi-person battles."

"That's all? Then what about the final explosion?"

Butterfly couldn't help but ask.

Wang Zhao's gaze grew even more profound.

"If that were all there was to it, I wouldn't call this soul skill powerful, since it consumes a lot of soul power."

"The reason for the explosion is that after the target was subjected to five light energy attacks by the golden scales, the energy did not dissipate, but instead remained dormant in the target's body like a virus."

"Finally, once the effect of the soul skill ends, with a thought from me, the light energy lurking in the target's body will be detonated."

I prefer to call it—

"Light Burst!"
