Douluo Dalu: Golden Spirit Tree

Chapter 21 Passed
When the smoke and dust cleared, Wu Ming felt a little defeated when he saw Lin Yi was unharmed.

What the hell is this unlucky thing?!

Wu Ming couldn't accept the thought that he would become a laughing stock in the mouth of the old man, who couldn't even defeat a second-ring auxiliary soul master.

Are you kidding me? I, Wu Ming, am also a prodigy of Shrek Academy!
No longer thinking about showing mercy, the academy's respect, or his extraordinary talent, Wu Ming looked at Lin Yi fiercely, with only one thought left in his mind: I must win!
For the honor of the Golden Crow Saintess! For the honor of the inner court students! For the honor of the Soul Sect!
Fight!

A loud cry came from Wu Ming's mouth, and flames blazed all over his body. The intense heat even burned the air around Wu Ming and distorted it.

Wu Ming exploded.

The second soul ring lit up, and the Golden Crow True Fire ignited his hand, and the already intensely high temperature rose again.

Then, the first soul ring flashed again, multiple times, the Golden Crow True Fire!

Several pillars of fire rushed towards Lin Yi, but just as they were approaching the shield, they suddenly changed direction!
This change, the landing point is completely different...

Previously, Wu Ming's Golden Crow True Fire went straight back and forth. Since Lin Yi could judge the landing point in advance, he could concentrate his soul power on the landing point of Wu Ming's attack in advance, which enhanced his defense ability while reducing the possibility of being penetrated.

Lin Yi did the same thing after Wu Ming's first wave of tentative attacks, and this time was no exception.

Wu Ming obviously discovered this and took advantage of it, controlling the direction of the attack and changing the landing point, making Lin Yi's previous efforts useless and wasting a lot of soul power.

Just by looking at the satisfied expression on the old man's face as he nodded slightly, one could tell that his control over this soul skill was quite impressive.

As Lin Yi's golden protection was easily burned through, Wu Ming's third soul ring lit up again, and the Golden Crow was really hot!
It was still a violent explosion, but this time, Wu Ming did not think it was over.

The fourth soul ring shone brightly, and with Wu Ming's cry, the Golden Crow True Fire around him instantly rose up. Wu Ming pointed to the sky with his right hand, and a fireball about the size of a longan and with a ruby ​​color shot up into the sky.

Afterwards, the fireball suddenly grew in size, and in a moment it became as big as a washbasin, and then it smashed towards the ground on Lin Yi's side like a meteor chasing the moon.

Although Lin Yi's position could no longer be seen due to the explosion, and Wu Ming's mental strength was not strong enough to sense Lin Yi's position, it didn't matter. He would just use a range attack.

As a fire-attribute soul master, area attacks are his specialty. Can't you see where the opponent is?

It doesn’t matter, just cover with fire.

Wu Ming’s fourth soul skill, Golden Crow True Fire Ring!

After the explosion, it will produce powerful impact and burning ability.

Wu Ming really didn't believe that a peak Soul Master couldn't defeat a small auxiliary Soul Master?
Seeing the more violent explosion and scattered smoke produced by the eruption of the Golden Crow True Fire Ring, Wu Ming's mouth curled up again.

Then, as if realizing something, Wu Ming turned to look at Yan Shaozhe who had no reaction, and his heart skipped a beat.

"Damn it! They should have reacted long ago!" Wu Ming cursed inwardly, "Given that kid's talent, if he really was defeated or injured, these elders definitely wouldn't be so indifferent. There's only one possible reason for their lack of reaction..."

Wu Ming stared intently at the slowly dispersing smoke and dust in front of him. Looking at Lin Yi, whose clothes were only slightly dirty under the golden hazy shield, he said viciously, "That's the kid. He's fine!"

Wu Ming was truly panicking at this moment. He had unleashed his first soul skill twice, his second soul skill three times, his third soul skill twice, and his fourth soul skill once. Even though Wu Ming's soul power had already reached level 49, it had already been mostly depleted. He hoped this unfortunate thing wouldn't drain his soul power and cause him to lose...

Ok?
Suddenly realizing something was amiss, Wu Ming silently calculated in his mind as he looked at the unfortunate creature still hiding in the shield. "This kid has unleashed his second soul skill at least three times, not to mention the soul power consumed repairing the shield in between. Furthermore, his soul skill consumes a huge amount of ten-thousand-year soul power. Just how much soul power does this kid have? Judging from the total soul power of a Great Soul Master, even if it's drained, he can only unleash a ten-thousand-year soul skill once at most."

"Besides, this kid's first spirit ring is always lit. How much spirit power does he have to consume like this..."

No! Wu Ming discovered the key point. Lin Yi's first soul ring was actually always lit, but what was his first soul skill?
Looking at the golden tree that had been behind Lin Yi in the shield, Wu Ming recalled the scene when the roots of the golden tree penetrated into the ground at the beginning of the war, and understood something.

"Drawing energy from the ground to alleviate or even replace the consumption of one's own soul power? No wonder it can last so long!"

Looking at Wu Ming who was lost in thought in the air, Lin Yi finally spoke, "Sister, is this all your strength?" Wu Ming narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at this tricky and unlucky thing, not knowing what he wanted to say.

"If this is all you have, then it's my turn to take action."

Listening to the tone of this unfortunate thing asking for a beating, Wu Ming was filled with hatred. "What are you saying? What can you, a support system, do?"

Then, Wu Ming watched Lin Yi slowly raise his left hand. Then, several blue-silver vines with a little gold in them shot out from Lin Yi's left hand and rushed straight towards her.

"!!!"

Are you a support type?!

Wu Ming cursed inwardly, but faced with the incoming attack, he still chose to dodge.

Wu Ming couldn't help but shed tears of humiliation. As an attacking soul master, she faced a supporting soul master, but she actually hid!
But there was no other way, as his own soul power was consumed too much. Although Lin Yi's vine technique seemed to be controlled by her fire attribute, the soul power consumed by dodging and resisting was completely different. In order to save soul power, Wu Ming could only choose to dodge.

Lin Yi was in a very good mood. As an auxiliary soul master, he could reach this level without the help of soul guides.

Lin Yi was a little overwhelmed. Were these attack-type spirit masters too weak, or was he, a support-type spirit master, simply too powerful? This was his first battle, against a spirit master over twenty levels higher than him, and yet he had the upper hand!
He controlled the vines in his hands to chase and intercept Wu Ming, forcing him to jump up and down, and even perform various difficult flying moves. If Lin Yi had not had to control the vines to attack, he would have wanted to move a small stool and cheer.

With the first soul skill "扎..." Lin Yi's mind suddenly drifted away. "扎根", the name of this first soul skill was too uncool, and it was totally unworthy of the brilliance of his genius. Moreover, since it was the soul skill of the golden tree, the style had to be unified.

Golden Blessing, Golden Perception, what classy names!
Then let’s change “Rooting” to… “Golden Growth”. I can’t think of a good name for the moment, so let’s just leave it like this for now.

Lin Yi, who was somewhat distracted, was not noticed. Although his blue silver vines kept chasing Wu Ming, the distance between him and Wu Ming seemed to be getting closer and closer...

By the time Lin Yi came back to his senses, Wu Ming had already arrived in front of Lin Yi's shield.

Lin Yi's face changed, and he quickly controlled the vines in his hand to catch Wu Ming.

Unfortunately, it’s too late...

The Golden Crow's true fire is burning, the Golden Crow's true fire is activated!
Wu Ming directly gathered the amplified Golden Crow True Fire in his palm and slapped it towards the shield formed by the golden protection, creating a gap. Without waiting for it to be repaired, he flashed in front of Lin Yi.

Before he could dodge, Lin Yi's neck was grabbed by Wu Ming. If Wu Ming had not put out the flames in his palm in advance, Lin Yi's throat would have been burned through.

Feeling the approach of failure and the threat of death, a drop of cold sweat ran across Lin Yi's forehead.

"The assessment is over."

Yan Shaozhe's voice came at the right time.

Wu Ming let go of Lin Yi, and Lin Yi saw that Wu Ming's hand was already charred black. He realized that it must have been burned when he held the flame in his palm.

Being able to think calmly in such an unfavorable situation, taking the opportunity to get close, and risking getting injured to defeat him with one blow, is this the psychological quality of the Shrek Inner Academy students?

I still underestimated it...

Lin Yi smiled bitterly in his heart, defeated!
The pride that had risen in his heart earlier instantly dissipated. He was just a beginner on the road to becoming a soul master. He had only struggled a few times relying on a few powerful soul skills. There was still a lot to learn.

Yan Shaozhe has already read out the results.

"Lin Yi's inner courtyard combat assessment is over. Lin Yi versus inner courtyard student Wu Ming. The winner is Lin Yi!"

"Ok?"
