Chapter 79: Sparring with You
Chapter 79: Sparring with You
Facing Alan's question, Wang Si merely smiled.
Sensing that Wang Si didn't want to answer, Zhu Ye also reached out to stop Alan.
Leading Alan to the side of the training ground, Zhu Ye explained to him how the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect had once schemed against Wang Si, causing his Soul Spirit to awaken unsuccessfully.
On the surface, Wang Si remained a good friend of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and the Tian Dou Imperial Family. However, in his heart, he had never forgotten the debt he owed the sect.
Upon learning of this, Alan couldn't help but be astonished. "The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect really doesn't know how to judge people. They didn't realize how dangerous he is."
Glancing at Wang Si, who was 'massaging' Zhu Zhuqing at the edge of the training ground, Alan admitted that he had underestimated Wang Si before.
But that was the extent of it, and Alan didn't think highly of him now.
Bored, Alan stretched his muscles and raised an eyebrow at Zhu Ye.
"You fought fiercely earlier, but it seems like you only have combat techniques and no actual battle experience. How about I spar with you?"
As he spoke, a Blue Silver Emperor vine appeared in Alan's hand.
Compared to the Blue Silver Grass, the Blue Silver Emperor vine in Alan's hand was much thicker.
On the vine, in addition to the fluorescent blue color symbolizing the high-level Blue Silver Grass, there were also ice-blue and fiery-red veins flowing in its meridians, making the Blue Silver Emperor both beautiful and dangerous.
In the area where the vines branched out, there were also scale-like protrusions, hinting at the possibility of the Blue Silver Emperor taking on a draconic form.
This was the first time Zhu Ye had seen Alan release his Soul Spirit.
With the Extreme Ice in her body, Zhu Ye immediately sensed the Extreme Ice and Extreme Fire within the Blue Silver Emperor.
Although it was faint, it was definitely there!
Stepping into the center of the arena, Zhu Ye completed the Soul Spirit possession.
A white fox shadow with dazzling golden eyes appeared behind her.
Unlike the frail and delicate members of the Fox Clan, this white fox had visible muscle lines on its body.
Although they weren't prominent, they gave off a powerful aura.
This change had begun in Zhu Ye after she and Zhu Zhuqing had completed the Soul Fusion skill, as if the part of her that belonged to the Evil Eye White Tiger was awakening.
With the Soul Spirit possession, five soul rings appeared around Zhu Ye: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, and black.
Zhu Ye subconsciously prepared to enter a combat state, but after sensing the soul skill, she realized something was amiss.
Taking a deep breath, she deepened the color of the soul rings, turning them into a formidable combination of five black rings.
"You seem to be level 32. I won't bully you. How about this, I'll use two soul rings to spar with you. What do you say?"
One by one, Zhu Ye's five soul rings faded away, and then she put on two yellow soul rings.
Usually, Zhu Ye wore five ten-thousand-year soul rings, which enhanced her physical qualities and increased the concentration of ice elements in her body.
Similar to Wang Si's first soul skill, the passive enhancement these soul rings provided to the body was irreversible. As long as the soul rings were used for a long enough time, the body would become stronger and stronger.
Using two of the yellow soul rings that she usually didn't rely on, Zhu Ye considered this a warm-up.
Watching Zhu Ye's soul rings detach from her body and then put on new ones, Alan was filled with surprise.
"What's the matter? Didn't you say you wanted to spar with me? Aren't you ready yet?" Zhu Ye asked, seeing that Alan still hadn't revealed his soul rings.
Alan shrugged helplessly. "I'm different from you guys. Soul rings are useless to me now."
As Alan spread his hands, ten Blue Silver Emperor vines burst forth from the ground and flexed in the air like snakes.
Witnessing Alan's control over the Blue Silver Emperor, Zhu Ye raised her eyebrows in surprise.
"Ice Claw!"
The first soul ring on her yellow ring shone, and a pair of icy claws appeared in Zhu Ye's hands, exuding a chilling aura.
Facing the encroaching Blue Silver Emperors, Zhu Ye struck with her claws, effortlessly severing one of them.
Blue Silver Grass wasn't particularly resilient to begin with, especially against a Soul King like Zhu Ye, who specialized in offensive soul skills.
Cutting down a Level 30-something Blue Silver Emperor was a breeze.
With one vine cut down, the remaining nine quickly scattered.
Zhu Ye's quick eyes and swift hands managed to grab and tear apart two more.
The remaining seven Blue Silver Emperors swiftly entwined in groups of two, two, and three, forming new vines.
They then launched another attack on Zhu Ye.
With her ice claws, Zhu Ye slashed and cut through a vine formed by two entwined Blue Silver Emperors. Suddenly, she felt a slight vibration under her feet.
Looking up, her eyes widened in surprise: another cluster of Blue Silver Emperors shot up from the ground, this time not just ten, but seemingly over twenty.
Unlike the previous attack, these Blue Silver Emperors didn't rush towards Zhu Ye immediately. Instead, four or five of them entwined to form whips before charging at her.
Unable to cut through the vines formed by three entwined Blue Silver Emperors with a single claw strike, Zhu Ye's expression turned solemn.
The entwined Blue Silver Emperors were tougher than she had anticipated.
With the second claw strike, Zhu Ye directly cut through the vine formed by three Blue Silver Emperors. Without hesitation, she locked onto Alan's position.
She had a feeling that she wouldn't be able to easily cut through the whip formed by five Blue Silver Emperors.
If there were even more, she might find herself trapped and at the mercy of a control-type Soul Master, a fate she didn't dare contemplate.
Noticing that Zhu Ye had locked onto him without hesitation, Alan merely smiled. "Being able to predict the situation on the field only makes you not stupid, but it doesn't make you a genius."
Alan also started moving, his goal simple—to create distance between himself and Zhu Ye.
As he retreated, he controlled more and more Blue Silver Emperors to converge and obstruct Zhu Ye's path towards him.
Seeing these obstacles, Zhu Ye's first instinct was to slash through them.
However, as her claws descended, they only left white marks on the vines. While she could cut through them, it would require considerable effort and time.
Zhu Ye was well aware of her advantage over other offensive Soul Masters—her speed.
It was worth noting that her Evil Eye White Fox was initially positioned as an agility-attack type, only becoming an offensive type after absorbing the Extreme Ice from her mother.
Agility-attack types countered control types because they could render the control Soul Masters' abilities useless.
Weaving swiftly through the gaps between the Blue Silver Emperors, Zhu Ye felt, for the first time, like an agility-attack type Soul Master.
"Your soul power is decent, and your speed is passable. Now it's time to increase the difficulty."
As Alan retreated, he watched Zhu Ye darting through the Blue Silver Emperors and couldn't help but chuckle.
In his hand, he held a Blue Silver Emperor as well, but compared to the ones attacking Zhu Ye, this one looked more "full."
Plucking a leaf from the Blue Silver Emperor, Alan tossed it towards Zhu Ye.
Boom!!!
The leaf Alan threw exploded the moment it left his hand.
Caught off guard by the blast, Zhu Ye was momentarily dazed.
Staring at the basketball-sized pit five meters away, she inhaled sharply.
"Is it necessary to use such a powerful soul skill for just training?"
Zhu Ye couldn't help but complain.
