Douluo Continent: Awakening the Original Martial Soul at the Start.

Chapter 31 Ghostly Shadow

In the audience seats of the third venue!

"Sister Ying, do you think Li Fei can win this time?!"

Qian Renxue rested her chin on her hand, looked at the empty space, and asked Ying Jie next to her.

"It's difficult. Although Li Fei's first soul ring is a thousand-year-old one, it's only a passive soul skill and doesn't increase his combat power. The great soul masters participating in individual soul battles are basically power attack, agility attack, and defense soul masters. Their first and second soul rings are all soul skills that increase attack power. The difference between the two soul skills is not so easy to bridge. To be honest, it's already quite surprising that Li Fei has been able to get to this point." Sister Ying shook her head and sighed.

"I don't think so. Li Fei will definitely win." Qian Renxue looked at the host who had slowly entered the venue, her eyes filled with inexplicable confidence.

The host stepped onto the stage, picked up the microphone to test the sound, and loudly announced, "Next, we will begin the third match of the one-on-one Soul Battle in our third Soul Arena. The two sides are Ghost Shadow, a Great Soul Master with the Beast Soul Black-Striped Ghost Leopard, and War Rabbit, a Soul Master with the Weapon Soul Tungsten Steel Staff. It is worth noting that Soul Master War Rabbit is fighting a Soul Battle beyond his level and has already won seven consecutive matches. I wonder if Ghost Shadow can end War Rabbit's winning streak! Let's wait and see."

"Now, please welcome both sides to the stage!"

"Sento! Sento!..."

As the host finished speaking, the entire audience erupted in cheers. In the past two months, Li Fei had gained a lot of fans, especially since he was a Soul Master who could win against opponents of higher levels.

Amidst the cheers, Li Fei slowly stepped onto the arena, carrying his tungsten steel staff. His eyes were fixed on the gaunt figure coming towards him. The ghostly figure opposite him was much thinner than an ordinary person, but it sent a chill down Li Fei's spine.

"It's Ghost Shadow! Isn't he Elder Ghost Leopard's grandson?! Why is he here to participate in the Soul Battle?!" Qian Renxue exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the newcomer.

"Li Fei might lose this time. Ghost Shadow's soul power has reached level 29, and he has been personally trained by Elder Ghost Leopard for a period of time. He is very strong in both combat power and combat experience. It is almost impossible for Li Fei to win!" Sister Ying sighed as she looked at the confident Ghost Shadow.

"Li Fei, please don't get hurt!" Qian Renxue couldn't help but worry.

"Hey kid, you're that Zhan Tu (War Rabbit) guy. I've been hearing about you everywhere on campus lately. Let me see what you're all about!"

Ghostly figure took a step forward and arrived in front of Li Fei, looking down at Li Fei from a height of 1.9 meters.

"Oh! I didn't expect that the students of the Martial Soul Academy would know me. That's quite a surprise!" Li Fei joked, but his eyes were full of solemnity. He could sense that the ghostly figure in front of him was definitely not comparable to those great soul masters from before.

"Don't be so arrogant, kid!"

Ghost Shadow's eyes turned cold. He pushed off with his feet and appeared in front of Li Fei, kicking him out.

"Bang!"

Li Fei spun his tungsten steel staff and slammed it into the arena, blocking Ghost Shadow's kick with a dull thud. Ghost Shadow was also knocked back two steps.

"What immense strength! No wonder he was able to defeat Little Tiger!"

Ghostly Shadow shook its calves, looking at Li Fei with surprise. Dark light emanated from its body, two yellow spirit rings spun beneath its feet, and its legs and feet became longer. Claws appeared on its hands, and a black tail appeared behind it, constantly swishing in the air.

After completing the fusion of his martial souls, Ghost Shadow's aura became more violent, but hidden deep within was absolute calmness.

"I heard you didn't reveal your spirit rings and spirit skills in all your previous battles. I wonder if you can still hide them from me?!"

"That depends on whether you're qualified!"

"court death!"

Ghost Shadow snorted coldly and charged out like a leopard, its sharp claws aimed at Li Fei's neck.

"So fast! Faster than any other agility-type Soul Master I've ever encountered!"

Li Fei was startled. He unleashed his soul power and used a burst step to dodge the ghost's attack. At the same time, he swung his tungsten steel staff behind him, but it was ineffective against the ghost's speed. The ghost easily dodged the attack with a single step.

"Making such a big move in front of an agility-type Soul Master, let's see how you dodge now?!"

A cold smile appeared on Ghost Shadow's lips. He transformed into a blur and rushed towards Li Fei. In a flash, he slashed five bloody wounds across Li Fei's back.

"Li Fei, a power-attack type Soul Master, is naturally countered by agility-attack type Soul Masters. In addition, he doesn't have a Soul Skill to restrict Ghost Shadow, so he can only passively take hits in the upcoming battle!" Sister Ying said with a grim expression from the stands.

"What should we do?!" Qian Renxue asked worriedly, looking at the five bloody marks on Li Fei's back.

"Then it depends on whether he can realize the weakness of agility-type Soul Masters," Sister Ying said in a deep voice.

On the stage, Li Fei staggered forward two steps, feeling the burning pain in his back. He also gasped. The muscles in his back twitched, closing the wound and stopping the bleeding. He turned to look at Ghost Shadow, a mocking smile on his lips!

"That's it! This is the strength of an agility-based attack? It only cut through my skin, didn't even damage my muscles!"

Upon hearing this, Ghost Shadow's expression turned grim. His first spirit ring slowly lit up, and purple light particles began to emanate from his body, swirling around him.

Li Fei stared intently at the ghostly figure. The tungsten steel staff, radiating an earthy yellow light, was retracted into his storage bracelet. He adopted a fighting stance, and with the flow of his soul power, his arm emitted an earthy yellow light.

He wasn't arrogant enough to fight with an 800-pound tungsten steel rod and a speed-type Soul Master.

"You actually think you can defeat me without using your martial spirit! Don't underestimate me!"

"First Soul Skill: Ghost Shadow Flash!"

Seeing Li Fei put away the tungsten steel rod, Ghost Shadow assumed that he had put away his martial soul and was immediately enraged. His eyes seemed to spit out fury, and the light particles emanating from his body merged into himself. He used his first soul skill, and the claws in his hands became even sharper. He transformed into a black lightning bolt and rushed out.

The claws gleamed with a cold light, and dark soul power constantly surged from their tips. With the added speed, the air itself seemed to be sliced ​​apart. Ghost Shadow was absolutely confident that this attack would defeat Li Fei.

But Li Fei's next move puzzled him. Li Fei quickly assumed a horse stance, and the muscles on the exposed parts of his body began to writhe and tense. He spread his arms and embraced the air, clearly intending to take Li Fei's attack head-on.

"It seems Li Fei has realized that the weakness of agility-type Soul Masters is the moment they attack. As long as they attack, their movements will be distorted and they will not be able to maintain their original high speed. This moment is the best opportunity for other Soul Masters to attack!" Sister Ying smiled from the stands.

"Does Li Fei have a chance to win?!" Qian Renxue asked, slightly excited.

"The chances are slim!" Sister Ying shook her head and sighed.

"Go for it, Li Fei!" Qian Renxue murmured.
