Chapter 21 Suppressing Graphite (Please add to your favorites, recommend, and vote!)

Even though Gu Xuan's soul power level was two levels lower than his, Shi Mo still felt immense pressure from Gu Xuan. The scene of Gu Xuan dominating Yu Tianheng yesterday still kept replaying in his mind.

Thinking this, Shi Mo couldn't help but sigh inwardly once again, "Is this the power of absorbing a spirit ring beyond one's level?"

"Shimo, unleash your full power. I won't hold back. I was dissatisfied with your training this morning, so now it's my turn to train you in place of Teacher Qin," Gu Xuan said slowly.

Upon hearing this, Shi Mo's face flashed with embarrassment. He still vividly remembered the training this morning. None of the movements were particularly complicated; they were all very simple and easy to learn at a glance. However, when it came to actually doing them, without using his martial spirit or soul power, he almost couldn't even manage a hundred push-ups.

Although this was his first time doing something like this, the single attribute also revealed a problem: if he were to disregard his identity as a Soul Master, he might not even be as good as an ordinary person.

Of course, that's an exaggeration, but it's undeniable that even Graphite himself felt a bit useless.

If an ordinary person had said those words, he would have already given them a good beating. But since Gu Xuan said them, he really didn't have the courage to give Gu Xuan a good beating.

A hint of helplessness flashed across Shi Mo's face as he replied in a muffled voice, "Come on, I won't give up the fight."

"Hehe." Gu Xuan grinned. "That's exactly the attitude I want."

Qin Ming watched Gu Xuan from the side and nodded in satisfaction. Although they had only known each other for less than two days, he was very satisfied with Gu Xuan. In fact, if Gu Xuan were not just a Soul Venerable, Qin Ming would think that Gu Xuan could be qualified as a teacher.

Now, after hearing Gu Xuan's words, Qin Ming also wanted to see how Gu Xuan would train Shi Mo. After all, Gu Xuan's training methods would be quite effective even if he were to use them, so he was looking forward to Gu Xuan's next move.

"I'm going!" Gu Xuan reminded him.

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Xuan's leg muscles bulged, and he burst out with a speed far exceeding that of a Battle Soul Master, rushing straight towards Shi Mo.

During this process, the first yellow soul ring on Gu Xuan's body lit up.

"First Soul Skill: Bone Dragon Battle Body!"

As the soul skill was released, Gu Xuan's body seemed to be covered with a thick layer of silver-white armor, and his pair of bone claws became even thicker. The bone claws clenched into fists, and the huge fists fell directly towards Shi Mo.

Shi Mo naturally wouldn't stand there and let Gu Xuan beat him up. After all, even though his Xuanwu tortoise shell had amazing defensive power, it was still no match for Gu Xuan, who had been able to suppress Yu Tianheng.

"First Soul Skill: Shield Transformation!"

Shi Mo shouted loudly, and his first soul ring shone brightly. His soul skill was exactly the same as Shi Mo's soul skill. As the first soul skill was released, the tortoise shell that was originally attached to his body fell off and turned into a tortoise shell shield that was 1.5 meters high and 60 centimeters wide.

"clang!"

Like the clanging of iron striking a great bell, Gu Xuan's enormous and domineering fist struck Shi Mo's thick tortoise-shell shield.

Although Shi Mo blocked Gu Xuan's attack, Gu Xuan's terrifying strength directly blasted Shi Mo back nearly a meter.

This was only the first tentative exchange, which allowed Shi Mo to personally experience the terror of Gu Xuan, because his first soul skill could not only turn tortoise shells into shields, but also amplify his power by thirty percent.

Even so, his power was still inferior to that of Gu Xuan, whose soul power level was two levels lower than his.

However, there was no time for Shi Mo to be surprised. As Gu Xuan's first punch landed, the second punch followed immediately, then the third punch...

Gu Xuan followed with bulging leg muscles, and his arms also bulged with explosive muscles. His huge, silver-white bone fists fell like raindrops, smashing into the tortoise shell shield in Shi Mo's hand, making a clanging sound like metal being struck.

Shi Mo also exerted all his strength in an attempt to block Gu Xuan's fist, but to no avail. Gu Xuan, whose hands had turned into bone claws, could not even feel a trace of pain. Each punch he threw carried immense force, causing the tortoise shell shield in Shi Mo's hands to tremble.

Graphite's legs were stretched straight, but they still slid backward little by little because Gu Xuan's power was too terrifying.

Even when facing Yu Tianheng, Gu Xuan's ferocious attack style had never left him so helpless, because Gu Xuan's fists fell so fast, almost non-stop, that he had no chance to release his soul skills.

If he were to unleash his soul skill at this moment, he would definitely be hit by that terrifying fist several times. Although he wouldn't be seriously injured, he would definitely not feel good.

Other spectators might not have a very direct sense of it, only feeling that Gu Xuan was suppressing Shi Mo's output, but Shi Mo himself knew very well that if he were hit by this punch, he might even break several of his ribs.

Gu Xuan's stamina was enough to keep him pressing Shi Mo down. As long as Shi Mo didn't resist, Gu Xuan planned to just "push" Shi Mo off the fighting platform.

Even Gu Xuan, who was continuously outputting damage, would suddenly deliver a heavy blow, causing Graphite to slide backward two or three meters.

The Soul Battle Arena has a diameter of 100 meters. Gu Xuan and Shi Mo initially faced each other in the very center, with a distance of 20 meters between them. This means that Shi Mo was 40 meters away from his side of the Soul Battle Arena.

Three minutes have passed, and Graphite is now less than ten meters away from the edge of the Soul Arena.

Although he was not injured thanks to the defense of the Xuanwu Turtle Shield, his arms were a little sore and his internal organs were a little violent due to the shock of the great force, but this was completely within his tolerance.

"Heh, are you just going to keep hiding like this forever?" Gu Xuan couldn't help but mock.

Upon hearing this, Shi Mo was not angered at all, because he was used to it, or rather, this was how Qin Ming trained them. As a Soul Master, the most important thing is not to let your emotions be controlled by the enemy.

Shi Mo didn't reply, and Gu Xuan's attacks became even more ferocious. The second yellow soul ring on his body shone brightly, and his two huge bone fists transformed into a pair of dark golden bone claws, frantically attacking Shi Mo's tortoise shell shield.

"Sizzle, sizzle!"

Each time the sharp bone claws made contact with the tortoise shell shield, they would generate a blinding burst of sparks. Shi Mo, who was holding the shield to block, was inwardly shocked, because Gu Xuan's attack power could actually reach such a level.

Shi Mo felt that if he continued to defend like this, Gu Xuan would be able to shatter his tortoise shell shield with his powerful attack without him even having to retract it.

Graphite knew he couldn't continue like this.

Suddenly, Shi Mo thought of a way to counterattack. When Gu Xuan's dark golden bone claws fell again, Shi Mo used the force to retreat, and he was less than two meters away from the edge of the Soul Arena.

But at that moment, Gu Xuan's purple third soul ring lit up. As Shi Mo retreated, countless spines, like sharp swords, protruded in front of Gu Xuan and instantly enveloped Shi Mo.

Third Soul Skill: Bone Dragon Purgatory!
