Douluo: I am a biologist, awakening the weapon spirit?

Chapter 215 Living Bomb
During their initial special training, the master asked Dai Mubai to use his soul power to carve patterns on tofu.

The purpose of this requirement is mainly to train Dai Mubai's ability to control wind-attribute energy.

Whether it's attaching wind-attribute energy to the body for enhancement or releasing it all at once, these methods of utilization are somewhat primitive.

Just like how ancient apes used stones to smash things, this clearly didn't make full use of the stones.

If this stone could be processed into a spearhead and then tied with a wooden stick to become a stone spear, then hunting efficiency would certainly be improved.

This is the stage of ape-men.

Therefore, the master tailored a special training program for Dai Mubai, hoping to help him further control his own power.

Dai Mubai did not disappoint his master's expectations. He successfully learned how to better use the wind from this special training, allowing him to progress from the "ancient ape" stage to the "ape-man" stage.

What he is showing now is one of the self-created soul skills he has mastered.

A wind barrier is created by confining wind-attribute energy to manipulate the surrounding airflow, and then making the airflow flow at high speed in a specific direction.

Since wind-attribute energy is only a catalyst in this process, Dai Mubai's consumption is not large, but the effect achieved is very good.

The wind barrier can deflect objects significantly, or even block their flight paths entirely, including poisonous fog, flames, and cold air.

Moreover, there is room for this move to be further improved. Chen Feng suggested that Dai Mubai wait until his soul power grows to a certain level and his soul power control is sufficient before turning the wind barrier, which only blocks one side, into an all-around barrier.

At that time, the wind barrier will transform into a hemispherical barrier.

If this barrier can be rotated at high speed in a suitable manner, there is a chance to return the attacks launched from the outside directly.

Then the wind barrier will transform into the Bagua Palm Returning to Heaven.

Dai Mubai agreed with the suggestion and planned to work towards it.

But that was later.

At this point, the wind barrier was enough to solve the problem. The shattered keratin layers that Hu Yanli shot over were all blown to other places and could not cause any harm to Chen Feng and the others.

"Hey! This is so uncivilized! You're actually throwing dead skin off your bodies at people?" Ma Hongjun said smugly when he saw that his opponent's move had been broken.

If you really look into it, those stratum corneum layers are indeed not much different from dead skin.

"Hmph! You guys do have some skill." Huyan Li snorted coldly.

He kept this hidden technique, which he named Mammoth Armor Removal. It was a self-created soul skill that he comprehended by chance after obtaining the Foundation Establishment Ring.

Since the Elephant Armor Academy has virtually no anti-air capabilities, Hu Yanli planned to hide this move as a backup plan after he mastered it.

To this end, he deliberately revealed all his spirit rings in the previous match, including his fourth spirit skill, which he considered his trump card.

It's an absorption-type soul skill, but as long as he doesn't make contact with his teammates, even if the fourth soul ring lights up, the soul skill won't take effect.

Now that Huyan Lizang's move has forced out the opponent's self-created soul skill, he doesn't think it's a loss.

After all, he was the only one in his team who had mastered a self-created soul skill. Hu Yanli thought that the other side should be about the same. In this way, both sides' self-created soul skills would be used up, but he still had a trick up his sleeve.

Without a doubt, the advantage lies with him!
At that moment, Tang San beckoned to the ground below, and thick, tough Blue Silver Grass sprouted from the ground.

When he used Blue Silver Grass to bind his teammates, he left some seeds on the ground. Now these seeds have begun to grow and differentiate rapidly, and soon the Elephant Armor Academy members were surrounded.

"That's all?" Hu Yanli stomped his foot dismissively, shattering all the Blue Silver Grass around him.

"What a feeble tactic."

Even if left unattended, these blue silver grasses cannot harm him at all.

Tang San's lips curled up slightly. He didn't argue, but simply let the Blue Silver Grass grow and spread rapidly. Before long, the arena became a world of plants.

"Hongjun, set it on fire!"

"Just watch!" Ma Hongjun first adjusted his position to prevent his teammates from being injured by his flames.

Then he took a deep breath and exhaled it all at once, pointing diagonally downwards.

During this process, Ma Hongjun's fourth soul skill silently lit up.

Whoosh! A giant ball of flame spewed out from Ma Hongjun's mouth, engulfing a large green area below. The seven members of Elephant Armor Academy were inevitably stained by the flames, and their keratinous skin sizzled.

Not only that, but an invisible pale yellow halo appeared beneath their feet. The halo was not very large and did not seem to pose any threat.

"Cough cough! Damn it, it's so hot! And I can't see anything!" someone from Elephant Armor Academy shouted.

"Don't panic! All of you move closer to me!" Huyan Li shouted.

Upon hearing this, Ma Hongjun's face lit up with an excited smile.

"Yes, gather them all together, and then I can show you the power of my fourth soul skill."

The arena was already filled with smoke and fire. The few people from Xiangjia Academy, like headless flies, instinctively gathered around following Hu Yanli's voice.

However, due to the interference of the flames, they did not notice that the pale yellow aura beneath their feet was gradually turning redder as other auras approached.

When the students from Elephant Armor Academy got close enough to each other, the circles of light beneath their feet turned completely red.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Explosions rang out one after another, and several bursts of fire exploded between the students from Elephant Armor Academy, tearing their skin and flesh to shreds.

Although the surrounding Blue Silver Grass was also cleared out by the explosion, new Blue Silver Grass quickly replenished it, continuing to draw the flames and smoke towards the Elephant Armor Academy members.

Under such torment, the three members of the Elephant Armor Academy with slightly weaker cultivation levels quickly succumbed and fainted.

"Hahaha, this is my fourth soul skill, Living Bomb. How does it feel?" Ma Hongjun laughed triumphantly from the sky.

He was the third person in the team to reach the Soul Master realm. At that time, Gu Yueling had already successfully obtained the fourth ring at the ten-thousand-year level by using the Ring Expansion Technique.

However, when Ma Hongjun also tried to get a perpetual fourth ring, he unfortunately failed.

Because the energy of that spirit ring was too explosive, he couldn't withstand it and almost lost his life.

If it were a regular fire-attribute spirit ring, Ma Hongjun might have had a chance. However, the spirit ring he acquired possessed an explosive-type spirit skill, making his failure understandable given the combination of the two. Although Ma Hongjun's fourth spirit ring wasn't at the ten-thousand-year level, the effect of its spirit skill was quite excellent.

This soul skill, which he calls a living bomb, allows him to apply a flame mark—a pale yellow halo—to targets burned by fire when he sets them on fire.

When different targets with the Flame Mark approach each other, their Flame Marks are activated, triggering a powerful explosion.

The more targets are gathered together, the stronger the explosion will be. The seven people from Elephant Armor Academy gathered together just now, so the explosive power of the explosion should not be underestimated.

Even though these seven people were all tough and thick-skinned, they were still blown apart and screamed in agony.

In the rest area where the Blazing Academy was located, Huo Wu couldn't help but gleam with excitement as she watched the scene on the stage.

She tugged at Huo Wushuang's arm, "Brother, I want to get a soul skill like that too!"

"Alright, alright, let's go ask them together after their match is over," Huo Wushuang said indulgently.

On the competition stage, Chen Feng looked at the several burly men who were already engulfed in flames and said:
"Let's go down; there's no need for another air battle."

In this situation, Hu Yanli will definitely have to use the Berserk Fusion. At this time, ground combat will actually be more advantageous for Chen Feng and his team because they will be able to maneuver more flexibly.

"Okay." Tang San waved to Ma Hongjun, who then began to descend.

At the same time, Tang San continued to spread the Blue Silver Grass towards the Elephant Armor Academy members, attempting to use fire to eliminate the remaining four opponents.

Just then, a huge figure suddenly broke through the flames and stood up.

It was a giant over ten meters tall, whose face still vaguely resembled Hu Yanli's, but his face had become much more ferocious, and he had armor made of rocks on his body.

Its appearance signifies that Huyanli has entered the second stage.

"Descent immediately!" Chen Feng shouted.

Tang San quickly realized that although he didn't know how his opponent had created such a big guy, he was obviously a target while flying in the air.

So he untied the blue silver grass from his companions, allowing them to fall at a faster speed.

"It's actually an absorption-type soul skill, that's really something." On the stands, Flander's expression turned serious.

"Moreover, Hu Yanli absorbed three Soul Masters, so this giant is probably at level 70. This is going to be difficult." Zhao Wuji, who was standing to the side, also became worried.

"Could it be even stronger than a Martial Soul Fusion Skill?" Liu Erlong couldn't help but ask.

Flander shook his head. "It's not that bad. It's just a spirit ring skill. It won't have the power of a spirit fusion skill, but it's still quite terrifying, especially in team battles between spirit masters. It's definitely a winning move."

The master began to speak:
"Generally speaking, this kind of absorption-type soul skill is already at its limit when it can absorb two people, because such absorption not only requires controlling the companion's body and soul power, but also their mind, which brings a considerable burden."

“But this guy absorbed three people.” Zhao Wuji’s expression grew increasingly grim.

“This state is definitely not going to be stable. If we can disrupt this giant, we might be able to break the deadlock.” The master’s gaze fell on his student.

The next step is to see if the children can grasp this key point.

"Hey! You big oaf, look here!" Bai Chenxiang deliberately flew around in front of the giant.

She was indeed stunned for a moment when the giant first appeared, but she quickly recovered and began to try to provoke him.

She needed to buy time for her companions so they could land safely.

At this moment, Hu Yanli had to control the bodies, soul power, and spirit of his three teammates, leaving no room to think about anything too complicated. Besides, his brain was only so-so to begin with, and his previous hidden moves were already an overachievement.

So when Bai Chenxiang deliberately ran up to him, Hu Yanli instinctively attacked her.

"You annoying little bug!" Hu Yanli slapped Bai Chenxiang across the face.

"Can't hit me, can't hit me, nyah nyah nyah~" Bai Chenxiang dodged the attack with her speed, then flew to Hu Yanli's face again, and even made a face.

She wouldn't normally act like this, but the situation was urgent, and she had no choice but to do everything she could to attract the giant's attention.

It was precisely because of the brief delay she made that everyone else was able to land safely.

"Well done, Xiangxiang!" Tang San praised sincerely.

He looked at the giant in front of him, picked up a large piece of rock from the ground, and threw it at a certain part of the giant's body.

*Thud!* The pebbles struck a spot on the giant's arm with pinpoint accuracy, momentarily halting Hu Yanli's attack on Bai Chenxiang.

It worked, but stones alone were clearly not enough. Tang San looked at the white sandalwood in the sky and suddenly had an idea.

He reached out his hand to the giant, and countless blue silver grasses sprouted and surged towards the giant's body.

But after the giant struggled slightly, the blue silver grass broke apart.

"Is this all you've got? Is this all you're capable of?" The giant sneered disdainfully and raised his hand toward Tang San.

"Don't rush, it's not over yet." Tang San's lips curled up slightly. The broken Blue Silver Grass on the giant's body began to grow again, but this time it did not bind the giant's limbs. Instead, it formed nodes on the giant's body.

"Everyone, break through these nodes!" Tang San shouted.

Upon hearing this, Bai Chenxiang in the sky immediately flung out several wind feathers.

The feathers struck the nodes precisely, but what happened next made Tang San frown.

Because Bai Chenxiang's feathers only pierced the nodes formed by the Blue Silver Grass, but did not penetrate deep enough or shatter those nodes, it means that Bai Chenxiang's attack power was insufficient to be effective.

To achieve the effect of acupressure, the most basic requirement is to be able to break the nodes that Tang San set on the giant's body.

Tang San originally thought that Bai Chenxiang could complete most of the task by herself, but now that this situation has occurred, they can only rely on others.

Just then, Chen Feng, who was beside Tang San, raised his sword.

The next second, the sword turned as white as jade, and as Chen Feng pointed the sword at Bai Chenxiang, a yellow soul ring on his body flew over as well.

Bai Chenxiang, who was feeling somewhat dejected, suddenly brightened up. She couldn't wait to use her new soul ring, and several golden feathers flew out of her hand again.

*Snap!* The Blue Silver Grass node shattered instantly.
