Douluo Dragon King: My Strategy System Is a Bit Off

Chapter 30 Attracting Soul Beasts

Early in the morning, the Zero Class members, led by Wu Changkong, arrived at the East Sea Spirit Transmission Tower amidst the morning mist.

Usually, not many people come to the East Sea Spirit Pagoda, but today it's very lively, and I've seen quite a few Soul Masters along the way.

Without a doubt, these are all their competitors. This journey to the Spirit Ascension Platform will be extremely brutal. Just as Wu Changkong said, the Spirit Ascension Platform is very important during the riot period, and many Soul Masters will rush to participate.

"The Ascension Platform is extremely dangerous during riots. You've all been inside many times and are basically used to the conditions, so I won't go into more detail. If you feel unwell, leave the battlefield immediately," the staff member briefly advised.

Wu Changkong glanced at them and then said, "Lin Ci, you have three hours."

what? !

Wu Changkong had set a test time of one hour for them to survive, and they were all lying in the metal cabinet, wearing various instruments.

As a result, Wu Changkong changed his mind at the last minute.

Before Lin Ci could object, the instrument had already started.

With no other option, he could only close his eyes.

Outside, staff inserted six cards into designated slots and pressed a red button. This was a riot control device; only these cards allowed entry and controlled access.

When Lin Ci regained consciousness, she opened her eyes and saw the vast forest once again.

However, this time was different from usual; the six of them were teleported together. They were no longer separated as before.

Gu Yue took the initiative, a soft blue light flashed, covering all six of them at the same time. This was Gu Yue's control over the wind element. Although it was not strong, it was enough to reduce everyone's weight and make everyone more agile.

Tang Wulin followed suit immediately. He slowly raised his hand and pressed it to the ground. Streaks of Blue Silver Grass sprouted wildly from the ground. These Blue Silver Grasses were more resilient and vibrant than those in the forest. With the infusion of soul power, they spread rapidly in all directions. They could not only sense the surrounding movements, but also serve as a means of defense or attack at critical moments.

In the vast and boundless forest, this is also an important means of preventing sneak attacks.

Lin Ci's expression turned unusually serious. Usually, when others saw him, he was quite carefree, even inside the Spirit Ascension Platform, acting entirely on his own whims. But this was the first time he had shown such a serious expression.

The entire team moved forward slowly with Lin Ci at the forefront, while Zhang Yangzi and Tang Wulin positioned themselves in the center, making key adjustments. Gu Yue followed behind Lin Ci, ready to launch elemental attacks at any moment, while Xie Xie and Wang Jinxi remained hidden on the side and rear, respectively, to prevent ambushes.

The team didn't communicate much, but their teamwork was excellent.

Perhaps because of final exams, their primary goal now is to survive for an hour, so they are all being extra cautious.

Just then, a deep roar came from afar, the sound carrying an indescribable ferocity. Everyone's expression changed slightly, and they quickly entered battle mode.

Lin Ci closed her eyes slightly, and when she opened them again, she had already determined the direction from which the sound came, and said in a low voice, "It's to the east, about 500 meters away from us. It should be a hundred-year-old soul beast."

Because of the distance, it might be difficult to observe clearly. However, we can still analyze it roughly. In his mind, wherever light can reach within that distance, there is a clear map in his mind.

However, this might weaken his perception due to distance. If the distance is too far, his perception of distant light elements becomes blurred, making it difficult to distinguish them.

This is also the soul skill that his third soul ring brought him.

Similar to Huo Yuhao's simulation at the time.

Although none of the students in Class Zero knew exactly how Lin Ci sensed it, the trust they had built up over the course of the semester made them instinctively look warily towards the east.

If it were just an ordinary hundred-year-old soul beast, they definitely wouldn't have any problem dealing with it. After all, all six of them were together.

So the group followed Lin Ci's footsteps and slowly headed east. As they got closer, they saw a huge Crimson Flame Tiger standing in an open space, its body engulfed in flames. With each breath, it spewed out scorching air, scorching the surrounding grass black.

Crimson Tiger!

This is a rather troublesome soul beast in the last hundred years. Even under normal circumstances, facing it one-on-one is quite challenging, not to mention that it is currently in the period of turmoil at the Spirit Ascension Platform, and its strength must have increased significantly.

Xie Xie quickly observed the Crimson Flame Tiger's condition and said to his companions, "This Crimson Flame Tiger has a powerful aura. During its rampage, its strength has probably reached the level of a thousand-year-old soul beast."

"Let's do it!"

Without giving the others time to hesitate, Lin Ci took a step forward and sped off towards the Crimson Flame Tiger.

It was incredibly fast, as if it had been imbued with the power of light, significantly increasing its speed.

Before Lin Ci even arrived, Gu Yue's elemental attack struck first. She pushed her hands forward, and dense wind element instantly condensed into several enormous wind blades, like sharp daggers, hurtling towards the Crimson Flame Tiger. Wherever the wind blades passed, the air hissed as they were sliced ​​through.

Sensing the approaching wind blade, the Crimson Tiger abruptly turned its head, spewing out a thick pillar of flame that collided with the wind blade. With a deafening roar, the flame and the wind blade neutralized each other, unleashing a burst of intense light and heat, as if the surrounding air itself had been ignited.

Taking advantage of this opening, Lin Ci had already closed in. He quickly formed hand seals, and his body shone brightly. A golden light sword instantly condensed in his hand, and then slashed at the Crimson Flame Tiger with lightning speed.

The Crimson Tiger had barely managed to block the wind blades and had no time to react before the attack arrived. It could only instinctively twist its body, trying to dodge this fatal blow.

The lightsaber grazed the Crimson Tiger's body, leaving a deep wound on its side. Blood gushed out like a fountain, staining the surrounding grass crimson.

The Crimson Tiger wanted to retaliate, but the next moment, a violent ball of light was shoved into its mouth by a great force.

The ball of light exploded violently in the Crimson Flame Tiger's mouth, the intense light and impact causing the tiger to let out a roar of extreme pain. Its body trembled violently, its originally fierce flames became chaotic, sometimes rising and sometimes falling, and its aura fluctuated accordingly.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Immediately afterward, with a swift stroke of the sword, the Crimson Tiger was easily defeated.

Everything happened so fast. With Gu Yue's help, Lin Ci took down a hundred-year-old Crimson Flame Tiger in just two minutes.

Even the members of Class Zero, who had witnessed this many times, were still amazed by such combat efficiency.

Xie Xie was quite used to it; he had spent a lot of time with Lin Ci back in the Spirit Ascension Platform. Naturally, he knew just how terrifying the other could be when he got serious.

In his eyes, Lin Ci seemed to be someone from a completely different world. This wasn't just a difference in ability; sometimes, the latter always appeared lazy and carefree, but in reality, he didn't neglect any of the things he was supposed to do, and he did them all very well.

After killing the Crimson Flame Tiger, Lin Ci did not immediately absorb the spiritual energy. Instead, he squatted down, cut off a large piece of meat with his lightsaber, and immediately started a fire.

Wang Jinxi was a little confused and asked, puzzled, "Are we going to have barbecue again?"

Zhang Yangzi frowned slightly. "Let's not do this during the final exams."

Xie Xie shook his head and chuckled, "You guys don't still think that Brother Ci really just wanted to eat barbecue, do you?"

The others looked at Xie Xie with suspicion, as did Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin pondered for a moment, then smelled the fragrance. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. "I know! This is to attract other soul beasts!"

During periods of riots, there are already many spirit beasts with rising spiritual platforms, and such a fragrance will inevitably attract powerful carnivorous spirit beasts.

Lin Ci usually does this, and only Xie Xie, who had followed him a few times, noticed this.

But grilling meat is not just about grilling meat.

Lin Ci's goals were never the same as theirs. While the others were thinking about how to survive for an hour, Lin Ci was thinking about how to kill more soul beasts.

The difference in thinking, to a certain extent, also indicates the difference in level of understanding.

Lin Ci has never been that simple, which is why Xie Xie admires him so much now.
