Douluo Continent: Not enough bloodline? Make up for it with brains

Chapter 149 Restraint (Please subscribe!!!)

Wu Siduo and Mo Jue slowly walked onto the stage.

"Ready, the match begins!" Cai Yue'er gave the order, and both sides activated their Martial Souls.

Four purple soul rings rose from outside Wu Siduo's body.

Mo Jue on the opposite side also has four purple soul rings.

At this age, a ten-thousand-year spirit ring is extremely rare.

It's not just because of the rarity of ten-thousand-year-old souls, but also because the conditions for carrying ten-thousand-year-old souls are extremely demanding.

The captain of the East Sea City Mech Brigade was terrified when he saw Wu Changkong's ten-thousand-year-old soul, because the meaning it represented had changed.

It's no longer as simple as it was ten thousand years ago, requiring only hunting ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts and reaching level fifty in soul power.

To possess a ten-thousand-year-old soul spirit, one basically needs to be at the Spirit Abyss Realm. Otherwise, unless the very first and only soul spirit is ten thousand years old, which does not conform to the cultivation rules of a soul master, it is basically impossible to achieve.

The Spirit Abyss Realm signifies truly entering the realm of the strong and possessing the qualifications to become a Title Douluo.

Even for Shrek Academy, there was no longer a requirement to have a ten-thousand-year spirit ring before entering the inner courtyard, because that requirement was too demanding.

The requirement for a ten-thousand-year soul ring is that after entering the inner academy, only by raising one's second soul spirit to ten thousand years can one be considered a true inner academy student and represent the inner academy in the outside world.

After passing the inner court examination, one enters a probationary period. Only after obtaining a ten-thousand-year soul ring can one become a true inner court student.

Xu Yuan is an anomaly; he cannot be judged by normal reasoning. He reached the Spirit Abyss Realm at the age of thirteen, which is almost impossible to replicate.

As for Yuanen Yehui, it was different; her ten-thousand-year soul ring came from another special path.

Besides obtaining soul rings through spirits, there are also traditional methods.

For example, hunting spirit beasts. Yu Yuanfeng, who went to Tianhai City with Xu Yuan for the Tianhai Grand Competition, did just that. His fourth spirit ring was obtained by hunting a ten-thousand-year spirit beast with the help of his family.

Yuan Enhui's first three spirit rings were similar, but they weren't generated by hunting spirit beasts; rather, they were generated by her spirit itself. Her second spirit, Fallen Angel, was an anchor point to another demon plane, which was quite peculiar, as it could generate spirit rings on its own.

For her, as long as her body could withstand the ten-thousand-year spirit ring, everything else was not a problem.

On the contrary, her primary spirit, the Titan Giant Ape, could not obtain a ten-thousand-year spirit ring; all four of her spirit rings were purple. (I made a mistake before; her Titan Giant Ape spirit was four purple rings, and her second spirit, the Vajra Baboon, was close to ten thousand years old. I won't delve into the original work, but four purple rings are at least reasonable.)

Mo Jue's martial soul is the Black Swan. As the martial soul possesses her, black feathers appear in her long hair, and then the black feathers spread all over her body.

Wu Siduo entered the Netherworld Cat state.

Mo Jue raised his right hand, and his first soul ring flashed. He pointed in the direction of Wu Siduo, and a huge black skull appeared, heading straight for Wu Siduo.

First Soul Skill: Weakness Curse.

Once it hits, it can weaken the opponent for at least ten seconds, and suppress their soul power by at least 20%. Of course, the stronger the enemy, the more soul power she will consume.

Wu Siduo's expression changed.

Although she didn't know the purpose of the black skull, she knew it was definitely not a good thing, so she directly activated her first soul skill, Netherworld Thrust, to dodge it.

She darted to the side, trying to dodge the skull, but the skull was cursed and locked onto its target. No matter how much Wu Siduo dodged, it still flew past as a black afterimage and merged into her body.

Wu Siduo's expression changed drastically.

Because in just a moment, she felt the effect of this soul skill.

Suppress soul power!

Her biggest weakness is insufficient soul power. When a person performs a martial soul fusion skill, there is no one to help her bear the burden of soul power. This may be alleviated after she becomes a Soul Saint, but right now she should conserve her soul power as much as possible when using her special skills.

But now that the battle has just begun, her soul power has already been weakened by 20%?

Although her opponent must have also expended soul power, it certainly wasn't as much as she had.

Wu Siduo's expression changed, but fortunately she soon discovered that the energy transformed from the black skull within her body was limited.

"It's only a temporary suppression!"

Fortunately.

As Wu Siduo breathed a sigh of relief, her gaze toward Mo Jue was filled with apprehension.

This was the first time she had encountered a soul skill that suppressed the enemy's soul power, and she found it troublesome.

No one can be sure whether this soul skill, once developed to its full potential, will have a long-lasting effect, or whether it can lie dormant within an enemy's body and suddenly take effect when unleashing soul power to perform the skill.

If it can truly be developed to this extent, then this soul skill would be an essential tool for scheming against others.

Okay, okay. I heard you were a highly respected vice class monitor in third grade, but I never expected such an elegant and aloof girl to have such a dirty heart!

Mo Jue was unaware that she was being criticized by Wu Siduo, a junior who valued soul power, because of her soul skill. At this moment, she saw her soul skill take effect, waved her hands, and her second soul ring flashed.

Two jet-black orbs of light merged in front of him, and a pair of black wings unfolded behind him, carrying her suspended in the air with their flapping.

The instant the two black orbs merged, a dark green skull appeared and floated toward Wu Siduo.

The second soul skill, Dark Demon Flame, can burn the body and gather the soul. It is a dual physical and mental attack with great power, which is very fatal to a powerful offensive soul master like Wu Siduo.

Because offensive-type Soul Masters often have an imbalance in their specializations, the vast majority of offensive-type Soul Masters are physical attackers and defenders, while they are much weaker in terms of mental strength. A few offensive-type Soul Masters with mental attributes will also lag behind in physical strength because they have difficulty cultivating mental strength.

Therefore, the Dark Demon Flame, which possesses both physical and mental burning abilities, is surprisingly effective.

Having been hit by the skull earlier, Wu Siduo was already wary, and now she used Nether Thrust again to dodge.

Fortunately, this attack can be dodged.

She breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, her gaze towards Mo Jue was extremely solemn.

The dark demonic flames that just landed on the arena had such terrifying burning power that they even destroyed the interior of rare metals, demonstrating their immense power.

Calculating the intensity of the energy transformed from the initial black skull within her body, Wu Siduo determined the expiration time of this soul skill.

With her Netherworld Thrust flashing repeatedly, she was now fighting against Mo Jue, a power-attack type Soul Master, using her agility-based attack style.

Generally speaking, agility-based attackers can use their speed advantage to engage in prolonged battles with power-based attackers, achieving victory by deceiving them into using their soul skills and soul power.

At this moment, Wu Siduo was certainly not hoping to exhaust Mo Jue's soul power in this way, but was waiting for an opportunity, waiting for the suppression within his own body to end.

Ten seconds.

With the help of Nether Thrust, Wu Siduo managed to hold out for ten seconds before finally exhausting the energy of the black skull within her body.

However, before she could even feel happy, she saw Mo Jue on the other side activate his first soul skill again.

Wu Siduo's face turned ugly.
