Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Thunder Dragon, A Century of Glory

Chapter 62 A wise person knows when to yield.

Niu Tian has some ambition, but he's not really stupid. He's confident he can defend against Soul Masters and Soul Sects, but he's not a Soul Sect with a fourth Soul Ring after ten thousand years.

You're kidding me! The fourth spirit ring is already ten thousand years old, that's not just a difference in strength! And they're both so young.

Niu Tian is a smart man who understands the saying "a wise man submits to circumstances."

Previously, due to the information gap, I thought he was a Soul Master, but the truth is that he is now a True Soul Sect Master!

He focuses on the present, but values ​​the future even more. If you don't offend anyone and just follow the crowd, you have a promising future.

"Well, I admit my voice was a bit loud just now!" In the awkward moment, Niu Tian, ​​who considered himself clever, spoke up.

"Hahaha, I told you my little guy is a sensible person."

"Niu Tian, ​​let alone you, even your clan leader was shocked by these three little guys."

"Let me tell you, an eighteen-year-old Soul King at level 52, a sixteen-year-old Soul Master at level 48, and a thirteen-year-old Soul Venerable at level 39," Niu Gao said, looking at Dugu Yan, Yun Yibai, and Oscar one by one.

Niu Tian felt as if his clan leader was still stabbing him in the heart, it was like killing him and destroying his spirit! Did he even want to let this genius of the Yu clan live?

Looking at these two clowns, Yang Wudi laughed heartily without any restraint, and Yun Yibai and the others also found it very amusing.

However, even though Yang Wudi sent two candidates, Yun Yibai also wanted to test the level of his future teammates.

It is only polite to reciprocate. The other party wanted to test their skills, and Yun Yibai naturally did the same.

Yun Yibai didn't need to test Yang Tai's words; he had already fought against the Soul-Breaking Spear, and in short, it was very strong. His last victory was due to a clever trick; otherwise, he would have paid a much higher price.

As for Niu Tian, ​​as a reserve member for his future battles, his defense must be strong enough to withstand the Spirit Hall's agility-type Soul King, Xie Yue. Although someone might try to intercept him, it's better to be safe than sorry.

If Niu Tian can defend against some of his current attacks, then there will be absolutely no problem.

"Come on! I'm ready!" On the training ground of the Broken Clan, Niu Tian looked seriously at Yun Yibai opposite him.

Niu Tian agreed with Yun Yibai's statement. After all, it's difficult for most Soul Masters to build friendships without actually fighting each other.

People like Yang Tai are an exception, since they've long been family.

"I will attack directly with the power of a Soul Master, but without using my fourth Soul Skill. I will simulate the most realistic sneak attack of an agility-type Soul Master and attack with the strongest strike I can currently unleash, excluding my fourth Soul Skill."

"Use your soul skills! Show your defense!"

"good!"

Martial spirit incarnates, plate-armored giant rhinoceros.

Plate-armored Giant Rhinoceros, a purely defensive beast spirit. After the spirit was attached to his body, Niu Tian's already broad body rapidly expanded, his skin instantly turned black, and an extremely thick layer of keratin suddenly appeared and covered his body.

"The first soul skill, Yu!"

"Second Soul Skill, Surge!"

"Third Soul Skill, Heavy Armor Defense!"

First Soul Skill, Defense, increases defense by 100%, and can be increased to 250% under special conditions.

The second soul skill, "Surge," increases strength by 100%, defense by 200%, and removes any abnormal statuses from the user.

The third soul skill, Heavy Armor Defense, doubles the user's defense and creates armor around the user that can reflect damage, reflecting 50% of the damage and reducing the opponent's defense by 15%.

As a pure defensive Soul Master clan, the Yu clan's Soul Rings are all imbued with a single defensive attribute. This continuous accumulation of defense makes their clan's defensive power extremely strong, on par with the Mammoth Giant of the Elephant Armor Sect.

The greatest advantage of the Yu clan's single-attribute path lies in maximizing that unique attribute. However, the biggest drawback of a single-attribute spirit ring is the limited range of abilities. When facing different opponents, their adaptability is much worse than that of ordinary spirit masters, and they are only strong in one aspect.

This applies not only to the Royal Clan, but also to the Destroyer Clan, the Agile Clan, and the Power Clan.

Over here, Yun Yibai quietly waited for Niu Tian to unleash his soul rings. Perhaps it wasn't at its best, but it was still below the absolute minimum.

Yun Yibai acted immediately, simulating the most realistic sneak attack scenario, roughly when the opponent hastily used up their soul skill.

The three soul rings on Yun Yibai's body—two yellow and one purple—flashed, amplifying all his attributes.

Breath of Thunder, Roar of the Thunder Dragon!

A golden beam of lightning shot out from Yun Yibai's mouth.

Niu Tian's outer armor blocked Yun Yibai's attack, but it was obvious that Niu Tian's overflowing soul power was weaker. The effect was not visible to the discerning eye, but those with higher cultivation levels could see that Niu Tian, ​​who withstood the attack, had also expended a considerable amount of energy.

After Niu Tian held off the attack, Yun Yibai's second attack followed immediately.

He concentrated all the lightning in his body into his right fist, using the high-speed movement brought by the lightning to attack Niu Tian's defense.

Thunder Dragon Crushing Fist.

This technique sounds simple, but it requires a lot of effort to execute. Perfect control of soul power alone is a challenge, and preventing soul power from going out of control is also necessary. Most soul masters are simply unwilling to spend that time on such a thing.

But the final result was very pleasing, wasn't it! Yun Yibai was able to fight against opponents of a higher level using just this simple technique.

A flash of lightning, and a punch landed.

"Click click click~"

"Bang!" The sound of shattering was heard in less than a second, and Niu Tian's outer armor shattered.

Niu Tian was sent flying by the impact, but he didn't faint, which proves that his defense is still considerable.

Niu Tian used his soul power to deflect the force in mid-air, finally landing steadily on the training ground. He was breathing heavily, thinking to himself, "So strong, is this the Soul Sect Master? He truly is a special person."

Yun Yibai was very satisfied with the final result; the opponent's defense was indeed very strong.

Yun Yi gave the other party a healing pill. This pill was naturally obtained from Yang Wudi.

"Yang Tai is right, you really are a monster," Niu Tian said after taking the pill.

Yun Yibai: "I'll reluctantly take that as a compliment!"

"Hahaha, although you're younger than me, the strong are respected. I'll follow you from now on, so please take good care of me."

"."

That evening, Yun Yibai approached Yang Wudi. "What's up, kid? What urgent matter is it that you're looking for me in the middle of the night?"

"It's nothing major, I just want Chief Yang to help me refine a batch of pills."

"These are the raw materials!" Yun Yibai took out the Grade 9 Purple Ganoderma and the Ten-Thousand-Year Ginseng King.

"Good lad, quite generous!" He had seen the Ten-Thousand-Year Ginseng King and the Snow Silkworm at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well before, but they weren't his, and he wouldn't take them—that was his principle. He only took the herbs that could help with detoxification at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

"Sure, but if I want to refine even better pills, I'll need these." Yang Wudi also mentioned some precious herbs that he didn't have on hand. Although precious, they were far inferior to top-tier herbs like the Ninth-Grade Purple Ganoderma.
