Chapter 244.
As Li Ziying lay on the ground after being blown away, the purple cherry trees on the ring quickly vanished, revealing Jiu Yikai's figure.
The Shadow Academy's proud concealment ability was completely ineffective against Jiu Yikai!
"I told you not to look back," Wang Feng remarked, looking at Li Ziying who lay on the ground in the distance, shaking his head. "Otherwise, you could have at least dodged instead of trying to attack me."
As everyone watched Li Ziying's defeat, they were shocked but also somewhat perplexed, unsure how Jiu Yikai had won.
In the purple cherry forest, there was no battle, and then Li Ziying was blown out. After a while, everyone concluded that there was only one possibility, him getting close to Jiu Yikai without even him being aware!
For a moment, everyone fell silent.
It meant that the Shadow Academy had been defeated in their strongest aspect. Such a powerful concealment ability couldn't even scratch Jiu Yikai, yet they were defeated without even realizing it!
In the midst of the silence, the captain of the Shadow Academy emerged.
Zhao Ying, with the martial soul Shadow Demon, had a soul power level of forty-two. Throughout the promotion games, no one had seen him make a move!
"Jiu Yikai, I admit you're very strong. In terms of individual strength, you might be the strongest among the 15 teams."
Zhao Ying was an ordinary-looking man, not particularly young, with an average appearance. Despite being the captain, his soul power level wasn't high. However, the Shadow Team's qualification and reputation as a strong team were closely tied to him.
"But you can't beat me."
Zhao Ying smiled and said, "To be precise, I am your greatest counter. You stand no chance of victory against me."
Upon hearing this–, everyone was stunned. The Shadow Academy's best concealment ability seemed ineffective against Jiu Yikai. How could it be countered?
For a while, everyone felt extremely curious about Zhao Ying.
At the same time, after Zhao Ying spoke those two sentences, he remained silent.
Then, the referee gave the signal!
Zhao Ying immediately activated his martial soul and instantly possessed it!
With a standard configuration of yellow, yellow, purple and purple soul rings, a massive black shadow emerged from his body, and Zhao Ying swiftly vanished behind it!
This shadow, about three meters tall, possessed two claws, jet black, with a face resembling a human's, emitting a hideous and terrifying aura!
It was his Martial Soul, the Shadow Demon!
As captain, Zhao Ying didn't seem to employ any concealment ability. Instead, the martial soul was directly revealed, suggesting... a direct confrontation?
"Here I come! First soul ability, Shadow Demon Impact!"
Zhao Ying's voice seemed to emanate from all directions in the arena, with no energy fluctuations in the Shadow Demon soul possessing the body. But this Shadow Demon charged towards Wang Feng!
The shadow demon, a rare martial soul, was only recognized by a few in the audience. It was somewhat akin to Huo Wu's Fire Shadow martial soul, but with significant differences.
The audience watched as the Shadow Demon advanced towards Jiu Yikai, shaking their heads. They expected a challenging match with Jiu Yikai, considering the impressive performance from Huo Wushuang on the first day.
Wang Feng furrowed his brow, his palm glowing with black light as he formed and swung a hammer directly at the Shadow Demon!
Boom!
However, when the hammer struck the Shadow Demon, it seemed to pass through it harmlessly!
A glint appeared in Wang Feng's eyes.
This Shadow Demon martial soul seems to be immune to physical attacks or maybe it is intangible? Everyone witnessing this scene was shocked.
Jiu yikai's soul bone-formed hammer was naturally extremely powerful. Yet, it had had no effect?
In other words...
"This Shadow Demon martial soul is immune to physical attacks?"
Tang San was incredibly shocked. "No wonder he claimed to be the counter to Jiu Yikai."
Everyone suddenly understood why Zhao Ying made such a statement and couldn't help but stare at the Shadow Demon martial soul!
So far, all the methods Jiu Yikai used were purely physical attacks. Whether with bare fists or various weapons formed by soul bones, they were all based on pure power!
But now, this Shadow Demon martial soul is completely immune to such physical attacks!
It indeed is the counter to Jiu Yikai!
As the hammer passed through, the massive Shadow Demon struck Wang Feng with a punch. However, this punch also seemed to go through him!
To be precise, it passed through Wang Feng's body!
Everyone was stunned once again!
"No! His soul ability isn't a physical attack! It's a mental attack!"
In the dim light, Tang San clearly saw that when the punch landed on Jiu Yikai's body, Jiu Yikai trembled slightly.
"It's a fear attack."
Flender suddenly spoke up, "The Shadow Demon should be a kind of beast martial soul, similar to the old Mengshen Ji martial soul. But it doesn't create illusions, instead, when possessed, it induces terror in its attacks. It's a special type of mental attack. If it were a normal soul master, they'd have been defeated by that last attack."
"The Shadow Academy is indeed formidable. Zhao Ying, I'm afraid only Xiao San can weaken his attacks a bit."
The Grandmaster nodded in agreement with Flender's assessment.
The actions of the Shadow Academy team's captain shocked everyone present. Being immune to physical attacks meant most of the soul masters present were ineffective against him. But his attacks were also impossible to avoid!
Many felt a cold sweat run down their backs.
How could they fight against this? No matter how strong they were, they couldn't harm the opponent at all!
Wang Feng also stared. Undoubtedly, Zhao Ying was very strong. No wonder he became the captain.
Being immune to physical attacks means that his Armored Black Thorns is ineffective against him. The attached soul bone can only function as a mysterious armor. But since the opponent's attack wasn't physical but mental, the Black Thorns Armor was also useless.
From his performance, Zhao Ying seemed to be the opponent that restrained him the most.
The recent blow had caused Wang Feng's spirit and soul to fluctuate slightly, obviously a strong mental attack. Without the [Black Hoop Spiritual Skull], it would have been uncomfortable to withstand this attack.
"However, there's no absolute immunity in the world, only relative immunity. There must be weaknesses," Wang Feng thought to himself.
Just like Tang San's immunity to Blue Silver Grass, which only applies to fire energy attacks. But he isn't immune to the explosions caused by the flame.
Indeed, defeating Zhao Ying would be simple for Wang Feng. A Red Lotus Karmic Fire could be directly unleashed, or he could use a Armored Karmic Fire Thorn.
Karmic fire is the most effective against this type of martial soul.
But Wang Feng couldn't use Red Lotus at all.
Alternatively, he could use the God Killing Spear's attack. It's not a purely physical attack but a dual strike that affects the enemy's soul too. However, Wang Feng didn't want to use it in the promotional match.
How to defeat an opponent when you're at a disadvantage?
Wang Feng's mind raced as he rushed forward again!
"It's futile," echoed a voice from all directions. "Second Soul Ability, Shadow Demon Flogging!"
Countless vine-like long whips emerged from the Shadow Demon, aiming at Wang Feng. However, he swiftly dodged each one. Then, Wang Feng leaped forward, gathering black light in his hand, summoning several weapon blades in succession, and launched them straight at the Shadow Demon!
Shoo!
The weapons passed through him again, but caused no damage to the Shadow Demon.
Frowns appeared on the faces of onlookers.
The Shadow Demon was completely immune to physical attacks, rendering such attacks ineffective.
Yet, Wang Feng persisted, sending several weapons through different parts of the Shadow Demon!
Still, the attacks were ineffective!
For a moment, silence fell over the arena.
"Why don't you use your martial soul? Without it, you have no chance of winning against me. It'll only waste your soul power," echoed Zhao Ying's voice from all directions.
As if in response to an echo, the Shadow Demon opened its savage mouth and let out a hoarse, eerie laugh.
"No, you've already lost," Wang Feng suddenly turned around, a long spear materializing in his hand, thrusting towards an empty spot!
This move left many puzzled.
However, when the spear pierced the void, a scream suddenly resounded!
Then, a figure emerged from the sky, flew out, and landed outside the ring!
Everyone was shocked to see this!
Because the person thrown out was Zhao Ying!
"Although your Shadow Demon martial soul is immune to physical attacks, you yourself are not immune," Wang Feng said slowly from the ring.
"You simply vanished within your martial soul, making everyone believe you were possessed by it. But in reality, you only became invisible, controlling your martial soul to attack from the shadows. Your martial soul is actually a weapon martial soul, not a beast martial soul! You can't possess a martial soul at all!"
Yes!
The Shadow Demon martial soul is formidable!
But Zhao Ying himself wasn't physically immune. This suggested that perhaps the power of a Title Douluo wouldn't be effective against him.
