Chapter 42 Absolute DefenseThe next day.
night.
Just as agreed.
The same central fighting arena, the same host, and the same opponent.
At this time, Dugu Yan and Xia Liang were standing face to face on the fighting spirit stage. Both of them had activated their martial spirits, and their spirit rings were flashing on their bodies.
A young man in silver tights walked into the viewing area. This young man was Qin Ming, the leader of the Royal Fighting Team.
"Teacher Qin, you are here." Yu Tianheng and the other members of the Royal Fighting Team greeted Qin Ming.
Qin Ming nodded, walked to Yu Tianheng and stopped, looking carefully at Dugu Yan and Xia Liang on the fighting arena.
"Teacher, Yanyan..."
Before Yu Tianheng could finish his words, Qin Ming suddenly interrupted him and said calmly, "I already know what happened. Yanzi's opponent was Master Xia from the academy's kitchen, right? And last night, the two of them had already fought a spirit duel. The result was that Yanzi lost."
"Teacher, that's because."
Qin Ming reached out his hand again to interrupt Yu Tianheng, "Let's watch the game first. When the fighting spirit is over, I will review the leapfrog fighting spirits of last night and tonight for you."
Yu Tianheng was a little surprised, "Were you also watching last night?"
Qin Ming nodded without replying, his eyes fixed on the fighting spirit arena.
Dugu Yan and Xia Liang, who were confronting each other in the center of the fighting arena, had a better understanding of each other after last night's battle.
Dugu Yan seemed to have lost her previous arrogance and pride, and her expression was extremely solemn from the moment she stepped onto the stage.
The stakes for signing up for the cross-level fighting spirit this time were the Ruyi Baibao Necklace that even her grandfather thought was precious. She didn't want to lose her grandfather's treasure to others just because she was useless.
Moreover, if I give it my all this time, but still lose to a second-ring great spirit master, can I accept such a result?
"Dugu Yan, for the sake of my hard work for you students every day, you can let me fight for three moves later." Xia Liang said.
I suffered a loss last night, how could I suffer a loss again?
Seeing that the five rays of light were the five finger bones shot by Xia Liang, Dugu Yan dodged immediately. This time she did not dodge backwards, but swayed her body left and right, lightly avoiding the trajectory of the five finger bones.
Dugu Yan gritted her teeth in hatred, "You're dreaming!"
"You two, are you ready to start fighting?" the host asked.
Dugu Yan and Xia Liang nodded almost at the same time.
"Fighting spirit, begin!"
Hearing the host's passionate shout, the audience who were talking in the audience seats focused their eyes on the main fighting stage in the center, and cheers and applause began to rise one after another.
Dugu Yan did the same as before and first moved back twenty meters.
But the difference is that she didn't say any extra words and chose to attack first.
The three soul rings on his body lit up at the same time, and Dugu Yan spewed out poisonous mist of three different colors: red, blue, and purple.
What's strange is that these three kinds of poisonous fog did not merge together, but were arranged in the order of front, middle and back, forming three layers of closely connected poisonous fog that enveloped Xia Liang.
Suddenly, five rays of light shot out from the direction covered by three layers of poisonous fog.
Just at this moment, three layers of poisonous fog enveloped Xia Liang's location, forming a three-color poisonous fog that covered half of the fighting arena.
Seeing this scene, Dugu Yan's solemn face finally broke into a smile. With so much practical experience, she knew that once her three layers of poisonous fog completely covered the enemy, the outcome of this battle would be decided.
These three layers of poisonous fog are composed of three soul skills respectively.
The first layer of red poisonous fog is the excitement poison of the first soul skill. It has an amplifying effect on friendly forces and poison control on enemies, which can make the enemies overly excited and lose their calm judgment.
The second layer of blue poison mist is the paralyzing poison of the second soul skill, which can eliminate the pain of friendly forces and at the same time cause nerve and sensory paralysis to the enemy.
The third layer of purple poisonous fog is the corrosive poison of the third soul skill, and it is also the green phosphorus purple poison of the origin of the Green Phosphorus Snake martial soul. It does not distinguish between friend and foe, and can cause objects contaminated with the poison to melt and corrode in an instant. Its toxicity is extremely overbearing.
Unless one has the ability to fly, if one wants to pass through the three layers of poisonous fog, his flesh and blood will inevitably be invaded by three different toxins one after another, and finally decay into a skeleton.
Looking at the three layers of poisonous fog in front of her that were like clouds and mist, Dugu Yan smiled playfully. If she didn't want to show mercy, she really wanted to see what Master Xia would look like when he broke out of the poisonous fog and turned into a skeleton.
At this time, the three layers of poisonous fog arranged in order of front, middle and back began to shake layer by layer as if blown by the wind.
Dugu Yan's pupils dilated unconsciously. In the last layer of purple poisonous fog in front of her, she actually saw a skeleton rushing out.
However, this skeleton is not complete. It only has ribs, and they are huge ribs burning with black and purple flames. Each rib is stacked on top of each other to form a shield-like shape.
Through the gaps between each layer of ribs, Dugu Yan could clearly see that a living person was covered by this huge rib. It was none other than Master Xia who was supposed to be trapped in the three layers of poisonous fog.
After only a second of surprise, Dugu Yan immediately realized that this Master Xia was a defensive soul master. The black and purple ribs covering his entire body should be similar to the black tortoise shell defense of the Shi brothers.
But aren't there gaps between each rib, just like in a turtle shell?
Why can't my poison mist penetrate this gap and cause damage to the inside of the ribs?
Dugu Yan naturally couldn't understand. Ever since Xia Liang's rib defense acquired the Nether Ghost Bear's soul ring, the black and purple flames burning on each rib could act as a protective film, filling the gaps between the ribs and making the entire rib cage closed.
Therefore, the three different toxins in the three layers of poisonous fog are isolated by the closed ribs.
Not only poisonous fog, but even poisonous gas cannot penetrate.
Combined with the added amplification of the first and second soul skills, this closed skull rib can not only defend against physical attacks, but also reduce elemental energy damage, which can be called absolute defense.
In the past year and a half, Xia Liang had found opportunities to test it. With his current strength, he would need at least a Soul Sect expert with the best soul ring combination to break his rib defense and hurt him.
Of course, if the enemy's attack comes from underground, it will be difficult to defend against, because the defense formed without bones at the bottom is not strong enough, and it can only be resisted by a protective film condensed by black and purple flames.
Just after rushing out of the last layer of purple poisonous fog, Xia Liang pulled out a rib from the ribs that covered his whole body. Under the entanglement of the black and purple iron wire energy body, this one-meter-long rib turned into a sharp knife.
The knife is called the Iron Bone Knife, and it looks very simple, with only a bone handle and an iron blade. It is very light in the hand, but it can deal the damage of a heavy sword with the enhancement of the first and second soul skills.
