Douluo: Yun Ming in the Spirit Hall Era

Chapter 107 Yun Ming, I challenge you!

It was afternoon.

After lunch and accommodation arrangements were made for everyone, the Imperial Team regrouped as Yun Ming had requested.

Training Ground 10

Yunming announced the afternoon's tasks to everyone.

"Today we will conduct a practical assessment."

"The level of soul power cultivation cannot fully represent combat strength; actual combat is the only standard for testing combat strength."

"I need to understand your combat capabilities before I can arrange a training plan."

"Two people per team, one-on-one soul battle. Ning Rongrong and Oscar aren't participating. Who wants to go first?"

Upon hearing that a fight was about to break out, Niu Bi was the first to step forward and speak up.

"I'll go first."

Seeing that Niu Bi had volunteered, Yun Ming had no objection and then assigned him an opponent.

"The first battle of spirits will be between Niu Bi and Ye Qingyin."

When Ye Qingyin heard that she would be on the field in the first battle, she quickly responded.

"Yes."

The rest of the people stepped aside, leaving the main stage to Niu Bi and Ye Qingyin.

Due to their martial spirits, the two were initially twenty meters apart. Seeing that they were standing still, Yun Ming announced the official start of the competition.

Niu Bi glanced at the petite Ye Qingyin opposite him, then at his fist the size of a sandbag, and murmured softly.

"She's so cute, one punch from her would probably make her cry for a long time."

Everyone: "???"

Ye Qingyin: "||o(*°▽°*)o|Ю"

Although the distance was quite far, Ye Qingyin, as a Soul Master with a musical instrument-type Martial Soul, still heard Niu Bi's inhuman remarks. At this moment, Ye Qingyin was extremely wary of the thick-browed, big-eyed, simple-minded man opposite her; this person was too dangerous.

Yun Ming's face also darkened, and he spoke up to remind him.

"Niu Bi, get started already, stop talking nonsense."

Upon hearing Yun Ming's urging, Niu Bi stopped making bizarre remarks and responded casually.

"Alright."

Niu Bi let out a low roar, and his martial spirit possessed him.

"Possessed by a giant rhinoceros!"

After the Ox Wall Martial Soul was attached to him, his already broad body rapidly expanded, his skin instantly turned black, and an extremely thick layer of keratin suddenly appeared and covered his body. Two yellow and one purple soul rings appeared under his feet.

When Ye Qingyin saw Niu Bi summoning his martial soul, she quickly summoned her Qingyin Flute martial soul as well.

The Qingyin Flute is exquisitely beautiful and has a unique appearance. Its body is slender and smooth, resembling a delicate silver rod. The keys and tone holes are arranged in an orderly fashion, like rows of miniature windows. It also has the best soul ring configuration of two yellow and one purple.

Having acquired her martial spirit, Ye Qingyin immediately began her performance.

In order to avoid being hit by Niu Bi's fists, she went all out from the start, with all three of her spirit rings lighting up.

Ye Qingyin's flute playing skills are quite good; the flute sounds melodious, like a clear mountain spring flowing, clear and profound, captivating the listener.

Niu Bi ignored the flute music, for he, Niu, could not understand such refined things.

Then, seeing that all of the opponent's spirit rings lit up, Niu Bi swung his fist, which was as big as a sand pot, and charged towards Ye Qingyin. Ye Qingyin, while continuing to play her instrument, slowly retreated when she saw Niu Bi charging towards her.

But Niu Bi hadn't run more than a few steps when he sensed something was wrong. He suddenly felt his body getting heavier and heavier, and his speed began to slow down.

Oscar, who was watching from the sidelines, yawned upon hearing the flute music and lazily spoke.

"This flute music sounds like it can help you fall asleep."

This yawn also caught the attention of Ning Rongrong next to Oscar. She covered her mouth with her hand, yawned, and casually remarked.

"She plays the flute quite well, but is her soul skill supposed to put people to sleep?"

Gong Ming, who came with Ye Qingyin, spoke up to explain.

"This is Ye Qingyin's third soul skill, 'Relaxation.' The effect of this soul skill is to make people relax. When relaxed to the extreme, it will make people feel listless and sleepy."

Gong Ming had encountered Ye Qingyin's third soul skill during the preliminary selection for the Imperial Glory Project. He suffered a severe blow, losing focus and strength; he was countered. Later, after Ye Qingyin was selected, he asked her about it.

Everyone understood after hearing Gong Ming's explanation.

Yun Ming watched the battle unfold on the field, while also recalling the information about her abilities from her mind.

Ye Qingyin's first soul skill, "Qingyin," is an amplification-type soul skill that enhances the timbre of the flute. Although it doesn't directly amplify the power of the soul skill, it still provides some benefit for musical instrument-type martial souls.

Ye Qingyin's second soul skill, "Slow," envelops the target in layers of invisible sound waves, physically slowing them down.

With the addition of Ye Qingyin's third soul skill, Niu Bi is now finding it increasingly difficult to move forward.

Yun Ming chose Ye Qingyin because her soul skills were indeed interestingly combined, integrating internal and external abilities to control the opponent.

However, looking at the sleepy Oscar and Ning Rongrong, Yun Ming also realized Ye Qingyin's shortcomings. She was still not quite able to control her soul skills.

Back to the battlefield between Niu Bi and Ye Qingyin.

Niu Bi shook his head and realized that he was getting more and more tired. Looking at Ye Qingyin, who was slowly moving away from him, Niu Bi decided to take a gamble.

All three spirit rings at Niu Bi's feet were lit up.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

The already large body of the cow has become even more robust, and the black light flowing on its keratin layer makes it look like a real piece of armor.

Niu Bi's three spirit rings have simple effects; they all amplify defense, consume little spirit power, and have a fast release speed, instantly increasing his own defense.

Using the soul power fluctuations from his soul skill and the physical strength gained from his three soul rings, Niu Bi was able to temporarily shake off some of the effects of Ye Qingyin's soul skill.

Taking advantage of this potentially short-lived moment of fervor, Niu Bi quickly ran towards Ye Qingyin.

Finally, before drowsiness completely overwhelmed him again, Niu Bi caught up with Ye Qingyin, whose movement was slow due to her constant flute playing. Then, Niu Bi punched Ye Qingyin.

Ye Qingyin couldn't dodge in time and quickly stopped playing to avoid the punch.

Without the flute's influence, Niu Bi's spirits improved, and his punches became faster and faster. Ye Qingyin dodged several punches, but just as she was about to be unable to dodge the next one, Yun Ming flashed between the two of them, grabbed Niu Bi's fist, and announced the result.

"The first battle of spirits has ended, Niu Bi wins!"

Seeing how easily Yun Ming had taken his punch, Niu Bi thought he should test Yun Ming's strength.

Niu Bi struggled fiercely, but Yun Ming's grip was like an iron clamp, rendering him immobile. Helpless, he had no choice but to give in.

Yun Ming released Niu Bi, offered a word of encouragement to the two, and then began arranging the next round of Soul Battle.

"They're all pretty good."

"Next game, Dugu Yan and Gong Ming."

"Everyone else, step back another ten meters."

Upon hearing that he was to fight Dugu Yan, Gong Ming looked distressed and begged Dugu Yan for mercy.

"Sister Yan, go easy on me."

Dugu Yan smiled slightly and agreed.

"Don't worry, I promise I won't bully you."

Then, Dugu Yan gave Gong Ming a good beating.

At the start of the battle, Gong Ming was able to take advantage of the initial distance and fire a few arrows at Dugu Yan.

Gong Ming's Heaven-Shaking Bow martial spirit lived up to its name; the sound of the bow being drawn was deafening, and the arrows shot were powerful and heavy. Dugu Yan dodged all these obvious arrows, then countered with her third soul skill, "Hellish Dragon Breath," which startled Gong Ming into quickly retreating.

Taking advantage of Gong Ming's inability to shoot arrows and affect her, Dugu Yan unleashed her fourth soul skill, "Hell Dragon Claw," at Gong Ming, who had no choice but to dodge again.

Dugu Yan took advantage of this time to quickly close the distance and then defeat Gong Ming in close combat.

However, even without Dugu Yan using her other two soul skills, Gong Ming still managed to exchange more than thirty blows with her. Although Dugu Yan's close combat ability was not very good, Gong Ming could tell that she did indeed know some close combat techniques.

After watching the battle, Yun Ming gained an understanding of the two's situation and had some ideas on how to train them.

After Dugu Yan and her companion finished their business, only Feng Xiaotian and Yang Yi remained.

Before Yun Ming could speak, the two stepped forward and said in unison.

"Yun Ming, I challenge you!" x2
