Douro Continent

Chapter 164 Special Training Phase One Begins (Part 2)

The sharp thorns attached to the Ghost Vine quietly protruded. If Dai Mubai's skin hadn't become incredibly hardened in his White Tiger Vajra Transformation state, he would have been invaded by the toxins resulting from the fusion of the Ghost Vine and the Human-Faced Demon Spider.

However, Dai Mubai, who was at level 37, was not so easy to deal with. Seeing that he could not break free of the Blue Silver Grass with brute force, his bound hands suddenly began to move.

The sharp blade on the tiger's claw suddenly popped out and began to vibrate violently against the Blue Silver Grass at a certain frequency. It was clear that the blade was gradually cutting into the Blue Silver Grass. Once Dai Mubai was free to unleash his full soul power, the amplified Blue Silver Grass would not be able to trap him.

Unfortunately, Tang San didn't expect to be able to directly restrain Dai Mubai with these Blue Silver Grasses, after all, he was a Soul Master with level 37 Soul Power. His purpose was merely to use the Blue Silver Grass to temporarily restrict Dai Mubai so he could unleash his third Soul Skill. The essence of a control-type Soul Master is to control their opponent from the very beginning of the battle until its end.

The blue-green orb of light was emitted the moment Dai Mubai's tiger paw blades began cutting the blue silver grass. Dai Mubai naturally saw the orb of light as well. Although his body was bound, he was not unable to move.

He knew that the ball of light that came out of Tang San's hand should be his third spirit ring. He didn't care about his image at the moment, and fell to the side.

What he needs now is time. As long as he has enough time to break free of the Blue Silver Grass, with his level 37 soul power plus the doubled power and attack amplification of the White Tiger Vajra Transformation, he is confident that he can break Tang San's third soul ring.

To everyone's astonishment, the blue-green light instantly expanded, and a net with a diameter of five meters descended from the sky. Although Dai Mubai's body rolled over, he was still unable to escape the area. The net was expanding at an incredibly fast speed. Moreover, the blue-green light sphere was launched by Tang San using the technique of throwing arrows, and its speed was already terrifying.

With a whoosh, a huge spider web suddenly enveloped him, and Dai Mubai felt a tightness all over his body as his entire body was tightly bound inside the massive spider web.

As the tiger claws cut through the inner layer of Blue Silver Grass, just as Dai Mubai was about to continue cutting, a strong numbing and burning sensation suddenly came from the spider web that looked even finer than the Blue Silver Grass. Even with the White Tiger Vajra Transformation's strength, it was unable to dispel the numbing sensation.

The intense adhesive wrapped Dai Mubai's body like a rice dumpling. The spider web tightened continuously, and the sharp claws on the tiger claws bounced off the web without leaving a trace.

Dai Mubai unleashed his full soul power, hoping to break free from the paralysis and the spider web, but the harder he tried, the tighter the spider web bound him. The feeling of having no way to use his strength plunged the Evil-Eyed White Tiger into extreme frustration.

The numbness grew stronger, and his resisting soul power was naturally weakened. The spider web, shimmering with blue-green light, tightened continuously, and Dai Mubai's bones began to crackle.

"That's enough," the master said calmly.

Tang San hurriedly stepped forward, raised his hand and wiped the spider web. Strangely enough, the sticky spider web turned back into light and quietly merged into Tang San's palm and disappeared. Even the Blue Silver Grass wrapped around Dai Mubai turned into streams of light and disappeared.

"This is my third soul skill, Spider Web Binding," Tang San explained to Dai Mubai as he helped him up from the ground. At the same time, he used his hand to absorb the spider web toxins from Dai Mubai's body back into his own.

The master walked up to the two, looked at the dejected Dai Mubai, and said calmly, "Control is a unique ability of control-type Soul Masters. Generally speaking, the attacks of control-type Soul Masters are weak, but their control is extremely powerful. Below level 60, an excellent control-type Soul Master can completely control an opponent within ten levels of themselves. Besides being able to counter the martial soul of a control-type Soul Master, the best way to deal with a control-type Soul Master is to not give them the opportunity to control. As a power-attack type Soul Master, control-type Soul Masters are your nemesis. In this situation, you need to create distance between yourself and control-type Soul Masters."

His gaze swept over the others, and the master continued, "Every Soul Master has their own strengths and weaknesses; there is no perfect Soul Master in this world. But..."

At this point, the master paused for a moment, "However, there are perfect teams. One person's strength cannot reach absolute power, but a team, through tacit cooperation, can achieve perfection. By complementing each other's abilities, they are enough to face enemies of any attribute. Tang San's third soul skill has strong control, but it also has extremely obvious weaknesses. That is the limitation on the number of times it can be used and the range of control. If it is an agility-type soul master, as long as you pay attention to the situation when he attacks and try to get out of his attack range, even the strongest spider web cannot bind him. You are a whole. When facing an enemy at the same time, the first thing you must do is to make up for each other's weaknesses and give full play to each person's strengths. At that time, you will become an invincible existence among those of the same level. Dai Mubai, continue your lesson for today. Next, you will face the combination of Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, and the combination of Oscar and Ma Hongjun."

Dai Mubai had already withdrawn his White Tiger Vajra Transformation. His evil eyes flickered with light. This time, he simply nodded vigorously but didn't say anything.

Grandmaster turned his gaze to Tang San, "Because you used your third soul skill on Dai Mubai earlier, then you can share one of his opponents. Xiao Wu, let me see your third soul skill."

Xiao Wu chuckled and walked towards Tang San. "Little San, you'd better watch out!"

The two battles began almost simultaneously: Tang San faced Xiao Wu, while Dai Mubai faced Ma Hongjun and Oscar.

Seeing Dai Mubai's displeased expression, Ma Hongjun felt a little uneasy. "Boss Dai, you're not going to take your anger out on me, are you?"

Dai Mubai said irritably, "Only you have evil fire. Enough nonsense, come on." With that, he pounced on Ma Hongjun.

Ma Hongjun dared not slack off. He quickly completed his martial soul possession while simultaneously taking the two sausages Oscar handed him and retreating rapidly.

Faced with the menacing Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun dared not let him get close and immediately activated his second soul ring skill, Phoenix Rebirth.

A powerful purple flame suddenly erupted, and the intense heat instantly spread through the air. The intensity of the flame was noticeably greater than when they were in the Star Dou Great Forest.

After encountering numerous dangers in the Star Dou Great Forest, not only did Tang San and Xiao Wu advance in strength, but everyone improved under the pressure. The Shrek Academy students were already geniuses, and in the midst of crisis, their potential was naturally brought out even more forcefully.

Feeling the intense heat of the phoenix flames emanating from Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai showed no intention of retreating. He charged towards Ma Hongjun, knowing that while the flames on the fat man would harm him, they weren't enough to seriously injure him. However, if the fat man allowed him to get close and launch an attack, he would surely die a horrible death.

In the past, Ma Hongjun would have panicked if he saw Dai Mubai get close. Although his soul power was not low, his combat experience was far less than that of Dai Mubai, Tang San and others. He always relied on his domineering flames.

But when faced with Dai Mubai's attack, Ma Hongjun showed no panic whatsoever; instead, a wicked grin appeared on his face.

Dai Mubai naturally wouldn't give up his attack because of the other party's expression. Just as he was about to pounce on Ma Hongjun, Ma Hongjun's first spirit ring suddenly lit up, and a phoenix fire line as thick as an arm spewed out.

After the battle in the Star Dou Great Forest, Ma Hongjun discovered that the Phoenix Fire Line used by the Phoenix Reborn in Flames would be several times more powerful. Although it also consumed a lot of soul power, the effect was excellent.

It can even rival the power of some Soul Masters' third Soul Skill. This is the advantage of a naturally powerful Martial Soul.

Dai Mubai snorted coldly. He seemed to have expected Ma Hongjun to make this move. His first and second soul rings lit up at the same time, and the White Tiger Protective Barrier and White Tiger Blazing Light Wave were activated simultaneously.

Intense white light and purple flames collided violently in the air. Although the Phoenix Fire Line was greatly enhanced by the Phoenix Reborn, the difference in soul power between Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai was as high as ten levels, so he still suffered a hidden loss.

He let out a muffled groan and his body rapidly retreated.

Dai Mubai was extremely experienced in combat. His tiger paws and claws shot out, and he pounced like a ferocious white tiger.

"Boss Dai, I'm not fighting alone." Ma Hongjun remained calm. Just as Dai Mubai was about to pounce on him, Ma Hongjun suddenly flew backward at an astonishing speed, and in the blink of an eye, he was already dozens of meters away.

Dai Mubai missed his target and was immediately stunned. Although Ma Hongjun's martial soul possessed the ability to fly, his current soul power was far from sufficient to activate it. Recalling Ma Hongjun's words, Dai Mubai suddenly understood.

It's Oscar's mushroom sausage.

With the help of the mushroom sausage, Ma Hongjun can fly for a minute, which is the speed of the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent, something Dai Mubai knows he can't catch up to.

"One minute? You only have one minute." Dai Mubai sneered inwardly, turned his body to dodge the phoenix fire line that Ma Hongjun spewed down from the sky, and attacked Oscar not far away like a tiger pouncing on its prey.
