Chapter 471 Roasted Rabbit
Tang San's Blue Silver Entanglement and Dai Mubai's Tiger Claw Attack arrived almost simultaneously. However, what they entangled and attacked was not Dugu Yan's true form, but an illusion.
She used the Meteor Illusionary Movement Technique taught to her by Ye Qifeng, easily dodging the two men's control and attacks.
When their attempts to entangle and attack missed, Tang San and Dai Mubai were both stunned for a moment before realizing that they had only attacked an illusion.
This phantom was merely an afterimage left behind when Dugu Yan reached her maximum speed.
What a great speed!
Dai Mubai only felt a flash before his eyes, and in an instant, Dugu Yan's figure disappeared.
Tang San possessed the inner sect's unique eye-training technique—the Purple Demon Eye—and his visual abilities far surpassed Dai Mubai's, allowing him to barely catch a glimpse of Dugu Yan's movements.
Faced with Dugu Yan's terrifying speed, Tang San, who also had the speed boost from Ghost Shadow Phantom, looked extremely surprised, seemingly somewhat taken aback that Dugu Yan also possessed some kind of unique movement technique.
From the mysterious footsteps Dugu Yan was taking, he could tell that it was a movement technique that did not belong to the category of soul skills.
Is there really someone in this world who possesses the same movement skills as me? That shouldn't be possible.
In the Douluo Continent, the strength of a Soul Master depends entirely on the abilities and Soul Skills granted by their Martial Soul and Soul Rings, with at most some special secret techniques and skills added.
However, these special secret techniques and skills are essentially still classified as soul skills, because they can only be used by relying on the abilities of the martial soul and soul rings.
However, Dugu Yan did not activate her martial soul or soul rings, which means that the mysterious steps she took were not soul skills, but a movement technique similar to Ghost Shadow Tracking.
Such movement skills, which require internal energy cultivation techniques to practice, shouldn't exist in Douluo Continent, right?
Where did she get this movement skill from?
At this moment, Tang San was filled with doubt.
However, before he could carefully consider and delve into the origin of Dugu Yan's movement technique, his expression suddenly changed drastically the next second.
But after dodging their control and attacks, Dugu Yan turned around and rushed towards Xiao Wu.
A sudden pang of anxiety rose from the depths of Tang San's heart. He was greatly alarmed and almost instinctively sent a warning to Xiao Wu:
"Xiao Wu, watch out!"
Ten meters away, Xiao Wu swung her scorpion tail braid and grabbed Ye Lingling's shoulders with both hands at the same time, intending to use her best soft skills to restrain Ye Lingling and then kick her in the waist.
For a support-type Soul Master like Ye Lingling, who has a weak physique, a single Waist Bow is enough to render her unable to provide support, without even needing to use the Eight-Stage Explosive Throw.
Xiao Wu thought to herself.
However, she did not get what she wanted.
A slender, jade-like hand suddenly appeared and grabbed the scorpion braid that she was swinging towards Ye Lingling's neck. The hands that were originally reaching for Ye Lingling then rested on the owner of the slender, jade-like hand.
Xiao Wu's pupils contracted slightly as she looked up.
A beautiful oval face came into view, with delicate features, bright red lips, a straight and elegant nose, and beautiful green eyes. Paired with short, dark purple hair that reached her chin, she looked dashing and exuded a touch of bewitching charm.
Who else could it be but Dugu Yan?
Indeed, the person appearing in front of Xiao Wu was Dugu Yan. After easily dodging the combined attack of Tang San and Dai Mubai, she used the Meteor Phantom Movement Technique to arrive in front of Ye Lingling half a second ahead of Xiao Wu.
When Dugu Yan stopped her, Xiao Wu was slightly surprised, but she quickly recovered and responded immediately.
Since Dugu Yan had already seen through his intentions and was now blocking his way, he could no longer pose a threat to Ye Lingling. He might as well turn the tables and change his target from Ye Lingling to Dugu Yan.
With a firm thought, Xiao Wu immediately exerted force on Dugu Yan's soft shoulders, restraining her while spinning her body backwards to her back, placing her feet on Dugu Yan's lower back.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Wu's first spirit ring suddenly shone brightly.
First Soul Ring Skill, Waist Bow, activated.
But when she bent her back, it felt as if she were stepping on soft cotton, without any sense of solid ground under her feet.
Her back arching failed.
At this moment, Dugu Yan's body was covered in a vibrant green color, which was due to the soul power surrounding her, forming a protective effect.
Upon closer inspection, a diamond-shaped green scale appeared between her eyebrows, faintly revealing seven different colors within it, resembling a ribbon.
Bathed in the emerald green soul power, Dugu Yan, with her purple hair and green eyes, seemed to have become exceptionally supple. The pupils in her green eyes had narrowed to slits, radiating a cold aura, as if devoid of any human emotions.
Even more astonishingly, her legs had fused together, and the area below her navel had transformed into a snake's body, forming a thick snake tail.
She relied on the snake's tail for support, like a beautiful snake woman.
That's right, Dugu Yan finally released her martial spirit and completed the martial spirit possession.
—After consuming the immortal-grade Earth Dragon Golden Melon specially selected by Ye Qifeng, Dugu Yan's Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul has evolved into the super Martial Soul Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor.
While Dugu Yan's martial spirit is certainly eye-catching, what's even more captivating are the four spirit rings that appear on her body along with her martial spirit.
Because her spirit ring configuration is the same as Ye Lingling's, it is also yellow, purple and black. Her third and fourth spirit rings are spirit rings that can be absorbed beyond the limit of years, and her fourth spirit ring is even a ten-thousand-year spirit ring.
When they saw that a ten-thousand-year soul ring had also appeared under Dugu Yan's feet.
The entire main arena erupted in chaos once again, filled with a cacophony of noise.
DouDou, the white dove soul master who was flying in the air hosting and explaining, was completely dumbfounded, and the envy in her eyes was almost palpable.
—Her spirit rings are yellow.
Whether it was the audience in the closed boxes, the female host DouDou, the Shrek Six Monsters (except for XiaoWu), or Yu Xiaogang, Flander, and Zhao Wuji watching from the sidelines, they were all shocked once again.
In particular, Master Yu Xiaogang, who claimed to be "invincible in martial spirit theory," was once again shocked and frozen in place.
If only Ye Lingling has a super-limit soul ring configuration, it can be explained as an accident or an exception.
But Dugu Yan's spirit ring configuration is also an ultra-limit spirit ring, so that's a different story.
This suggests that Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan's spirit rings were likely obtained through some special means; otherwise, it would be impossible for both of them to have spirit rings of similar age and being super-limit spirit rings.
Could it be that Soul Masters can really absorb Soul Rings beyond their limits? Does such a method truly exist? No, I need to find information and study this carefully. If I could obtain this method...
Thinking of this, Yu Xiaogang's breathing suddenly became rapid.
Instinctively, he turned his gaze to Qin Ming, who was standing with his hands behind his back at the other end of the passage. His eyes gleamed slightly, as if he had thought of a good idea.
…………
Xiao Wu was hanging behind Dugu Yan at the moment and did not notice her soul ring configuration.
He executed a leg arch, but it didn't have the desired effect.
Dugu Yan used the flexibility of her snake body, granted by the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul, to avoid her kick.
If you miss the target and there's no point of contact, your waist arch won't work.
The lumbar arch failed?
Xiao Wu was slightly taken aback when she kicked and missed; it was the first time she had encountered a situation where her back arch had failed.
Before Xiao Wu could think any further, a sudden, tremendous force came from the back of her head, causing her hands to involuntarily loosen.
She seemed to have forgotten one thing—her scorpion braid was still firmly held in Dugu Yan's hand.
Dugu Yan's face was cold and stern, and her whole body exuded the cold aura unique to snake-type martial souls. With a twist of her supple snake waist, she easily dodged Xiao Wu's waist bow attack.
First, she ripped off the blue silver grass wrapped around Xiao Wu's waist. Then, she forcefully pulled on the scorpion tail braid in her hand, and the overwhelming force directly pulled the annoying rabbit Xiao Wu off her back. At the same time, she struck out hard with her palm.
boom--
With Dugu Yan holding the scorpion braid in her hand, Xiao Wu had nowhere to dodge or avoid. Before she could even recover from the blow, she was struck again with a heavy slap, causing blood to spurt from her mouth and nose, leaving her nose flat and her face swollen.
"ah--"
A piercing scream burst from her mouth.
"Xiao Wu—"
Seeing Xiao Wu's face suffer another heavy blow, Tang San, who was rushing over at top speed using Ghost Shadow Tracking, was furious. Strange purple-black Blue Silver Grass surged wildly from his right palm and pounced on Dugu Yan.
Dai Mubai was a bit slower. When Xiao Wu was hit hard, he had only run three or four meters away. On the contrary, Ma Hongjun, who was responsible for protecting Ning Rongrong and Oscar from behind, attacked first.
His round, chubby face puffed up, and after a moment of preparation, he suddenly spat out a ball of purplish-red flame, which shot straight toward Dugu Yan with extreme heat, to help Tang San rescue Xiao Wu.
He had clearly activated his first soul skill, Phoenix Fire Line.
Facing the attacking Blue Silver Grass and Phoenix Fire Line, Dugu Yan remained calm, and a smile suddenly appeared on her beautiful red lips.
Then, to Tang San's astonishment and shock, he suddenly flung Xiao Wu, whose eyes were unfocused and whose mouth and nose were bleeding, towards the direction from which the Phoenix Fire Line was coming.
"No--"
With Tang San's heart-wrenching scream, Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Fire Lines undoubtedly struck Xiao Wu.
The powerful attack struck her, but Xiao Wu didn't even utter a sound before instantly passing out.
But it's not over yet.
The intense heat carried by the Phoenix Fire not only ignited Xiao Wu's clothes but also her body hair. In less than half a breath, she was scorched by the purplish-red flames into a bald, blackened humanoid charcoal.
The aroma of meat filled the entire venue, like a freshly roasted rabbit.
Tang San could no longer afford to attack Dugu Yan. He quickly moved to Xiao Wu's side, picked her up, and retreated to the rear.
"Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu!"
Holding Xiao Wu, whose body was already scorched and blackened but still as soft as cotton, Tang San called out anxiously a few times.
But it was destined to receive no response.
Xiao Wu had completely fainted at this moment, her eyes rolled back slightly, and wisps of black smoke were coming out of her mouth. Her body showed no reaction. She had obviously been seriously injured by Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Fire Line and urgently needed treatment.
Tang San was terrified and could no longer remain calm. He turned and glared at Ma Hongjun, his eyes instantly turning red.
Seeing Tang Sanchao looking at him, Ma Hongjun's fat jiggled, and he hurriedly waved his hands to explain:
"I'm sorry, Third Brother, I didn't mean to."
"I... I just wanted to help you rescue Xiao Wu. Who knew that woman surnamed Dugu would be so unethical, actually using Xiao Wu to block my Phoenix Fire Line?"
"I really didn't mean to."
At this moment, Ma Hongjun was both embarrassed and scared.
The sinister look in Tang San's blood-red eyes terrified him.
Dai Mubai retreated to Tang San's side, keeping a wary eye on Dugu Yan opposite him, and glanced at Xiao Wu in Tang San's arms out of the corner of his eye.
Seeing her body charred black by the fire, he couldn't help but twitch his lips and subconsciously glanced back at Ma Hongjun.
Ma Hongjun shrugged at him, looking innocent and aggrieved.
Tang San was so heartbroken he could hardly breathe. He quickly took out the Rejuvenating Sausage, pried open Xiao Wu's mouth, and stuffed it inside.
At the same time, he activated the internal energy of the Xuan Tian Gong and poured it into Xiao Wu's body from behind, combining it with her own soul power to drive away the invading scorching evil energy, but he still could not wake Xiao Wu up.
Unless a healing-type Soul Master intervenes.
The only healing-type Soul Master present was Ye Lingling from the Royal Fighting Team, and she was also an opponent.
Tang San didn't care about anything else; Xiao Wu was the most important person, and everything else had to take a backseat.
His blood-red eyes darted around rapidly, Tang San's gaze passing over Dugu Yan and landing on Ye Lingling, who was slightly behind him:
"Treat Xiao Wu!"
Xiao Wu's injury dealt a heavy blow to Tang San, who had lost his usual calm and rationality.
His voice seemed calm, but his words were full of command, mixed with coldness and emotion, and also carried a faint threat.
"I refuse."
Upon hearing this, Ye Lingling, whose face was covered by a black veil, glanced at him indifferently and directly expressed her refusal:
"This is the Soul Arena; injuries are inevitable."
"Besides, we are opponents now. Before the battle is over, I have no responsibility or obligation to provide healing to my opponent."
"Furthermore, the rabbit's injury isn't fatal, so it doesn't require immediate treatment. We can ask a healing-type Soul Master to help treat it after the Soul Battle ends."
Tang San's face immediately darkened, but he didn't say anything more. He silently picked up Xiao Wu, walked to Ning Rongrong and Oscar, and stared at them with his bloodshot eyes, saying:
"Take good care of Xiao Wu for me. Feed her a few big sausages."
The first sentence was addressed to Ning Rongrong, while the second sentence was addressed to Oscar.
"it is good."
Ning Rongrong and Oscar felt a chill run down their spines as Tang San stared at them with blood-red eyes. After exchanging a glance, they nodded in unison.
Tang San gently placed Xiao Wu in front of Ning Rongrong and Oscar, took out a coat and covered her with it, then slowly straightened up and turned to look at Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling opposite him.
The face hidden beneath the green mask was expressionless, but the eyes beneath the mask's holes emitted a rich red light.
It's clearly on the verge of going berserk.
Ye Lingling stepped forward, walked to her best friend Dugu Yan's side, and softly reminded her:
"Yanyan, be careful."
"Tang San's emotions are off; he's about to explode."
Dugu Yan gave a soft "hmm":
"clear."
"But isn't this the effect we wanted?"
The two looked at each other and smiled.
