Douluo Continent: Building a Divine Kingdom Starting from the Spirit Hall

"It hasn't changed, it's evolved!"

Tang San corrected him, a hint of pride in his voice.

His Blue Silver Grass was finally no longer a low-level martial soul.

"Who told you this is a martial soul evolution? Your half-baked teacher?"

After examining it closely and even sensing it, Jingling asked in confusion, "Does this guy have some misunderstanding about the evolution of martial souls?"

Chapter 604 Tang Shenwang's Second Defeat

Jing Ling's comment about a half-baked teacher not only angered Tang San, but also made Yu Xiaogang, who was standing next to her, clench his false teeth.

Theoretical research and teaching are his pride, but now he has been humiliated by a junior, which makes him angry even with his good temperament.

"Evolution refers to the essence, while mutation refers to the appearance, or becoming another species. Although your Blue Silver Grass feels much stronger to me, its essence is about the same as last year. You must have added some kind of incompatible power through some external force, probably fire and ice attributes."

Neither of these two has anything to do with the plant element, let alone any compatibility; they could never evolve into the essence of the Blue Silver Grass martial soul.

After carefully observing and sensing again, and confirming that it was just a mutation rather than an evolution, Jingling was relieved.

If Tang San's Blue Silver Grass had evolved like Dai Mubai's spirit, he wouldn't have been confident of winning, since his opponent was a control-type spirit master. But since it was just a mutation, it would be much easier to deal with.

This explanation startled Tang San, and his gaze involuntarily fell on the Blue Silver Grass in his hand.

He knew very well what changes had occurred to his Blue Silver Grass; it had simply incorporated some of the power of the Fiery Apricot Blossom and the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass, thus causing some changes.

After returning, he discussed the matter with his teachers, who both concluded that it was evolution, but now Jingling's words seem to make some sense.

Upon careful sensing, he realized that the essence of his Blue Silver Grass had not been improved; it had only gained the power of ice and fire.

Please advise!

Suppressing his doubts, Tang San signaled for battle, but his mind was no longer as calm as before, which was exactly the result Jing Ling wanted.

He didn't know much about Tang San, but since the other party was a control-type Soul Master, his mentality must be very stable, which is an essential quality of a control-type Soul Master.

To defeat a control-type Soul Master, the first thing to do is to disrupt their mindset. Even a slight disruption is enough to affect their performance.

As a Soul Master specializing in agility and attack, the outcome of a duel with an enemy often hinges on a mere instant, and even the slightest influence can reveal a weakness in the opponent.

Jing Ling remained silent and quietly activated four soul skills.

Aside from his first soul skill, White Bone Blade, his other three soul skills are all enhancement and amplification skills, especially those that greatly boost speed.

In addition, due to the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, his martial soul evolved from a high-level martial soul to a top-level martial soul, completely integrating the Bone Spirit Cold Flame into his martial soul.

The evolution of the Martial Soul led to a significant improvement in the four Soul Skills. Most importantly, the evolution also allowed the Sword Intent to be integrated into the Martial Soul, further enhancing the Sword Intent and making the fusion of Sword Intent and Soul Power even more perfect.

After activating four spirit rings, Jing Ling stomped her foot on the ground and vanished instantly.

That wasn't teleportation, but rather the speed was so fast that it exceeded the visual capture limits of some people.

The reason it can achieve such speed is mainly because its legs are integrated with the Eight Spider Spears Soul Bone, which greatly enhances its jumping ability and naturally provides a strong boost to its speed.

"So fast!"

His pupils contracted, and Tang San immediately used the Blue Silver Cage to envelop himself, covering himself with three layers in a row.

Although he was very confident in his Ghost Shadow Step, he would not use it to compete against a Soul Master with an agility-based attack style.

Moreover, the Ghostly Steps focus on small-scale maneuvers and do not significantly enhance speed itself.

Furthermore, judging from Huang Yuan's previous performance, his opponent has improved significantly over the past year. Without knowing how much Jing Ling has improved, engaging in close combat with him would be quite unwise.

Moreover, without using hidden weapons, Tang Clan disciples are not particularly strong in close combat; in fact, it could be said to be their weakness.

Tang San's choice was correct. At the same time as he created the three blue silver cages, a sword blade slashed through them, breaking through all three layers of blue silver cages.

Jingling brushed past without stopping, then turned back and frowned at the blue-silver cage that had been partially cut open.

"Flame immunity?"

He had just incorporated the Bone Spirit Cold Fire into his sword energy, but it had no effect; in fact, it was suppressed by a fire-attribute power within the Blue Silver Grass.

Moreover, the strength of that blue-silver cage has also increased significantly; it almost couldn't be cut open just now.

As Tang San manipulated the Blue Silver Grass to repair the Blue Silver Cage, his expression grew increasingly solemn.

Compared to a year ago, Jing Ling's sword aura has become much sharper, but the biggest improvement is in the opponent's speed.

If his Purple Demon Eyes hadn't evolved to the Vast Realm with the help of the Autumn Water Dew, further enhancing his dynamic vision, he wouldn't have been able to see the opponent's speed clearly just now.

That was different from Zhu Zhuqing's flexibility and versatility; it was a pure speed, a pure fastness.

After observing for a while, Jing Ling's figure disappeared again, and a slit was cut open on the other side of the blue silver cage by sword energy.

Before Tang San could control and repair the wound, the other side was cut open again.

Jing Ling unleashed her maximum speed, using the Eight Spider Lances Soul Bone to enhance the speed of her legs, along with the support of three Soul Skills and her deep development of those skills, resulting in an astonishingly fast speed.

In terms of speed alone, even a Soul Saint-level agility-type Soul Master might not be able to match it. This is the result of Jing Ling's year of hard training.

Especially after he and Jiangzhu and Huangyuan developed a method to fuse different flames, they could borrow each other's different flame power, and the combination greatly improved their physical fitness.

Especially with the self-healing and repair abilities enhanced by the Flame of Life and the Star and Moon Fire, he spent most of the past year training like crazy to improve his physical fitness, especially his speed, which is how he developed such super speed.

Of course, the biggest boost to his career came from the gifts given to him by the dean.

Seeing Jing Ling suppress Tang San, Yu Shi Sui's expression improved, and he felt somewhat gratified.

After that disciple proposed the idea last year, he became more and more excited. Afterwards, he took Jingling to the original sites of Haotian Sect and Qibao Liuli Sect and excavated all the remains of the powerful figures in their ancestral tombs.

They even visited the ancestral tombs of many large families and sects, such as the original ancestral tombs of the Holy Dragon Sect in the Star Luo Empire, as well as the ancestral tombs of some sects and families that had long since perished, and made a great haul.

The remains of those powerful figures, especially those at the Title Douluo level, greatly benefited Jing Ling's cultivation.

Even the special aura and energy stored in those ancestral tombs greatly enhanced the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, ultimately helping Jing Ling integrate the Bone Spirit Cold Flame into her Martial Soul, allowing it to evolve into a top-tier Martial Soul, or at least reach the threshold of a top-tier Martial Soul.

It is precisely because of this tremendous effort that Jingling has made such a great improvement.

Of course, the most important opportunity was the Bone Spirit Cold Flame. Without the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, even if the remains of those powerful beings were obtained, it would be difficult to make perfect use of them.

"Now!"

"parasitic!"

After being passively attacked for several minutes, Tang San's purple eyes flashed, and he seized the opportunity to activate Parasitism. Instantly, more than a dozen Blue Silver Grasses grew rapidly on Jing Ling's body, trying to bind him.

That's right. He wasn't actually being passively attacked before. Instead, he was looking for an opportunity to plant the Blue Silver Grass seed of his second soul skill on himself, as a medium for unleashing the second soul skill.

Although the second soul skill only has a lifespan of one hundred years, it can still achieve unexpected victories if used well.

In addition, with his Blue Silver Grass's immunity to ice and fire, he couldn't suppress even if the opponent unleashed that Bone Spirit Cold Fire.

As an agility-type Soul Master, Jing Ling's reaction speed is naturally not bad. After discovering that Blue Silver Grass was growing on her body, she decisively unleashed Bone Spirit Cold Flame to envelop her entire body.

Although it cannot burn the Blue Silver Grass, it can prevent Tang San from providing it with soul power to accelerate its growth.

At the same time, he leaped back, creating distance to avoid Tang San's attack.

Tang San had been plotting for so long, how could he let him escape?

"Blue Silver Thrust Formation!"

A large patch of scarlet blue silver grass pierced through the ground, like spears aimed at Jingling.

This move had such a wide range that it covered a radius of thirty meters, making it difficult for Jing Ling, with her speed, to break through it instantly.

This Blue Silver Spike Formation is the result of Tang San's training over the past year. After discovering that even consuming two great immortal herbs could not quickly increase his soul power level, he focused on the in-depth development of his soul skills.

The main reason was that Zhu Zhuqing's development of soul skills inspired him. That teammate had really mastered the art of using soul ring skills, not only developing individual skills in depth but also combining them, resulting in a dramatic increase in power.

With his mastery of Soul Ring skills and the inheritance from Teacher Yue, Zhu Zhuqing firmly holds the title of the strongest member of their Shrek team. Even if he uses hidden weapons, he has no confidence that he can defeat him.

With Zhu Zhuqing as an example, he further developed his soul skills, focusing on the fourth soul ring, which led to the Blue Silver Thrust Formation, transforming the original control-restriction Blue Silver Cage into an offensive one.

"It's done!"

Seeing that the tactic had succeeded, Tang San breathed a sigh of relief.

He hadn't used the Blue Silver Thrust Formation before, precisely to deliver a fatal blow at the crucial moment and secure a complete victory.

For Tang Clan disciples, the most effective tactic is to strike unexpectedly, which allows them to maximize their advantages.

However, Tang San has improved over the past year, and Jing Ling's improvement is also significant.

Upon discovering the Blue Silver Spike Array below, before it could fully erupt, he condensed a sword aura beneath his feet and then leaped thirty meters into the air.

The Blue Silver Spike Formation is very strong and fast, but its foundation is still on the ground, making it ineffective against flying-type Soul Masters.

Although Jing Ling is not a flying-type Soul Master, with the numerous demonstrations by sword masters like the Holy Spirit Sword Saint, he is also capable of taking to the air.

Stepping on sword energy is a common technique used by that master. It not only exudes a high level of sophistication but also makes his movements more agile and unrestricted by terrain.

This scene left Tang San dumbfounded; he truly hadn't expected Jing Ling to possess such a technique.

The Shrek Academy members were equally stunned, and Yu Xiaogang clenched his fists even tighter.

He knew that the Blue Silver Spike Formation was his disciple's strongest Soul Master technique, and also the decisive blow. At the same time, it consumed a lot of Soul Power. If he couldn't win with this move, then it would be even more difficult to fight next.

Compared to the tension of the Shrek team, Huang Yuan and Jiang Zhu on the other side remained calm.

Unlike the perfunctory training during team battles, the three of them knew each other very well and were well aware of Jingling's strength. This kind of situation was no challenge for Jingling.

The main problem is that Tang San's spirit level is too low. Even though his fourth spirit ring is a ten-thousand-year spirit ring, it still seriously hinders his progress.

Jingling will never lose this battle!

"Any other methods?"

On the other side, Jing Ling landed on the ground. The Blue Silver Grass wrapped around her body had been cut to pieces by the sword energy. At the same time, she continued to spread the Bone Spirit Cold Fire all over her body to prevent the opponent from using this method to ambush her again.

Although the Bone Spirit Cold Fire could not burn the Blue Silver Grass that was immune to fire, the opponent would no longer be able to silently plant the grass seed on him.

Tang San's expression was uncertain, and he once again lamented the weakness of the Blue Silver Grass martial soul, and that Jing Ling's speed and reaction were too fast.

Although his Blue Silver Cage was instantaneous and difficult for his opponent to detect before it was activated.

The problem is that it started from underground, and it takes some time for the Blue Silver Grass to grow and eventually transform into a cage.

This amount of time is still difficult for a typical Soul Master of the same level to react to, even a Soul Master specializing in agility attacks. However, Jing Ling is clearly not a typical Soul Master specializing in agility attacks.

That's why we didn't try to restrict or capture the opponent using the Blue Silver Cage before, and instead placed all our hopes on the Blue Silver Spike Array, but who would have thought it would still fail.

"This is a friendly sparring match, so we definitely can't use hidden weapons, otherwise the Jade Marrow team won't approve."
