Chapter 76: Tianmeng: Why would a fox-type Martial Soul possess elemental power? And it's an Extreme attribute!
As expected, Dugu Yan was decisively defeated by Hu Bai, and what's more, Hu Bai used close combat, at which he was least skilled. Dugu Yan was thoroughly convinced of her loss.
This is also why Dugu Yan instantly understood that the attack system was the best choice for her. Even if her poison was strong, if it couldn't affect the opponent, it was useless.
There are actually many ways to counter poison mist. Wind merely blows it away, but in terms of true countermeasures, Extreme Lightning, Extreme Fire, and Extreme Ice can all do it.
In the original work, when the Imperial Fighting Team fought the Shrek Team, Tang San used realgar wine combined with Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Flames to completely counter Dugu Yan's Jade Phosphor Violet Poison.
Hu Bai, having received higher education, wouldn't truly believe that realgar wine was the Magic Treasure to counter Jade Phosphor Violet Poison. That was just Tang San showing off; what was truly effective was Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Flames.
If realgar were truly that amazing, there wouldn't be so many snake venom antivenoms on the market. Wouldn't it be easier just to take realgar to detoxify?
And for a Martial Soul like Dugu Yan's, the stronger her soul power, the stronger the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison would become. So, the snake poison should be used entirely as an auxiliary effect, while she herself should focus on attack, or even adopt an all-rounder style, which wouldn't be a problem!
During the time he spent with Dugu Yan, he taught her a lot from his own experience. If an opponent could be defeated through attack, then attack aggressively.
If not, then she should leverage her advantages, kite her opponents, and use guerrilla tactics.
And for guerrilla warfare, speed is crucial. So, essentially, Dugu Yan needs not only attack but also speed.
Hu Bai's positioning for Dugu Yan was that her strength lay in breaking defenses, not in the power of her soul skills. On this foundation, she also needs speed.
It took a while for Dugu Yan's small brain to process this, but Dugu Bo, on the other hand, looked at Hu Bai with new eyes. This insight was truly amazing!
It turned out that Hu Bai's 'attack' was not the 'attack' he originally thought.
After seeing that Hu Bai and the other two were ready, Bibi Dong released her Death God Domain, using the materialized Killing Intent to directly isolate the Soul Beasts over ten thousand years old.
The Soul Beasts inside the Killing Intent were not targeted by it, so they didn't just stand there trembling. Bibi Dong had that much control.
"Alright, now it's up to you three," Bibi Dong said, giving the three of them a look.
Xie Yue's two soul rings lit up beneath him, and he charged forward with his Moon Blade. Hu Bai and Hu Liena also released their Martial Souls, with Hu Liena standing behind Hu Bai.
From the start, Hu Bai directly activated his Sky Fox Domain. Hu Liena could feel that her own soul power and mental power were greatly amplified.
She instantly activated her first Soul Skill, Charm, directing it towards the Soul Beast Xie Yue was about to attack.
Meanwhile, Hu Bai summoned a large number of ice cones out of thin air and shot them toward a large group of Soul Beasts!
Strictly speaking, this was their first collaboration as a trio. The previous time, when the Nine-Tailed Charm Demon was used, it didn't count.
Tianmeng Iceworm was shocked when Hu Bai released his Nine-tailed Sky Fox Martial Soul. It was a Charming Fox-type Martial Soul!
This was clearly a Mental System Martial Soul!
However, before he could finish rejoicing, he sensed a very familiar elemental power from Hu Bai's body: Extreme Ice!
Holy crap!
Fox-type Martial Souls are a mental system, right?
Why can he control the elemental power of nature?
But then, Hu Bai summoned a large number of fireballs out of thin air for an attack—Extreme Fire!
No way!
Can these two elemental attributes appear on the same Martial Soul?
Tianmeng expressed his confusion.
So what are this little guy's two soul skills?
He was extremely curious now!
Could they be soul skills related to elements?
Tianmeng said he needed to watch more, but he had already decided that this little guy in front of him was his savior!
The only problem bothering him now was how he could quickly raise his cultivation to a million years.
Once he reached a million years of cultivation, he would be the first million-year Soul Beast in the history of this continent!
After obtaining a wisdom soul ring, he would possess four soul skills. Wouldn't this little guy have to call him 'big brother'?
Hu Bai: Dream on!
Hu Bai and the other two had clear objectives. Xie Yue, with all his amplifications, cooperated with Hu Liena to deal with the two sub-Dragon Soul Beasts suitable for Dugu Yan: one five-hundred-year and one two-thousand-year.
The remaining Soul Beasts were left for him to handle!
That's right—the remaining ones, including the two Light Healing Spirit Butterflies Ye Lingling needed, totaled about ten Soul Beasts. Among them, six were over a thousand years old, and three were around a hundred years old!
Hu Bai needed to multitask, using Ice Cone and Fireball to hinder these thousand-year Soul Beasts, while also diverting some ice cones and fireballs to land on the two Light Healing Spirit Butterflies.
Why didn't he directly use his Ice Domain?
That's because he was afraid the power would be too great and would directly freeze these two Light Healing Spirit Butterflies, who had no combat power whatsoever, to death.
His ice could penetrate blood and Soul!
After severely injuring the two Light Healing Spirit Butterflies suitable for Ye Lingling, Hu Bai gathered wood elements, generated vines, bound the two Spirit Butterflies, dragged them in front of Ye Lingling, and then said to Bibi Dong: "Teacher, please control that thousand-year Light Healing Spirit Butterfly for a while. We'll kill it after Lingling absorbs her first soul ring."
Bibi Dong nodded slightly.
Just then, Xie Yue had already severely injured the five-hundred-year Iron-Spined Dragon Snake and was battling the two-thousand-year Poison Flame Earth Dragon.
At this point, even with the Sky Fox Domain's amplification, Hu Liena's Charm had little effect on this two-thousand-year Soul Beast. The power gap was too large!
Seizing the opportunity, Hu Bai opened the silver-white vertical pupil on his forehead, and a mental impact directly entered the Poison Flame Earth Dragon's Spiritual Sea!
Hu Bai's mental power was much higher than his own soul power level!
With just this one strike, the Poison Flame Earth Dragon's body instantly stiffened, clearly knocked unconscious.
This was the result of Hu Bai holding back; otherwise, with his mental power, he should still be able to kill it in one blow!
And these two sub-Dragons were naturally dragged in front of Dugu Yan.
Now, the real battle has just begun!
Because among the remaining Soul Beasts, there was one close to ten thousand years old—a Soul Beast with a cultivation over nine thousand years!
At this moment, this Soul Beast roared, gathering all the remaining Soul Beasts around him, all of them looking at Hu Bai and the others with bloodshot eyes.
Xie Yue retreated, saying with a serious expression: "Second brother, it seems a bit unfavorable now. Should we use our Martial Soul Fusion Skill? Otherwise, with our remaining soul power, I'm afraid we can't defeat this group of Soul Beasts in a brawl."
