Douluo Continent II: The Dragon Breaks the Nine Heavens

Chapter 174 The Ultimate Soul Master is the Power Attack Type

After Xuanzi left, no matter how lost and confused the remaining Shrek Academy contestants were, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and head towards Xingluo City.

At this moment, everyone felt incredibly fortunate that Lin Yun hadn't participated in this operation, but instead accompanied Xiao Xiao to obtain the soul ring.

With the main team almost wiped out and completely powerless, Lin Yun was the only light!

He is Shrek's savior!

(Lin Yun: ?)

……

So what is our savior doing right now?

"The power of the raging dragon! The power of the raging dragon!"

"The power of the raging dragon!!!"

"Yun...Brother Yun, I can't eat anymore, my sister really can't eat anymore!"

"Ah~!"

……

Beside the "Little" Lake of Life, a wooden cabin with a tranquil and elegant feel sits on the shimmering lakeside. On the grass next to the cabin, Lin Yun, looking languid, rests his hands behind his head and closes his eyes to bask in the sun.

Xiao Xiao was lying on his chest, fast asleep like a kitten, a glistening drool dripping from the corner of her mouth, making her look quite charming and adorable.

This is already their eighth day in the Star Dou Great Forest.

On the fourth day, Lin Yun took Xiao Xiao to hunt down the Lava Earth Dragon. With his help, Xiao Xiao successfully absorbed the ten-thousand-year soul ring, and from then on, she became a soul master with a soul ring ratio exceeding the limit.

Cultivation level: Soul Master; Soul ring ratio: Yellow-Yellow-Purple-Black!

It's a pity that only Lin Yun can use the Dragon's Devour talent, otherwise Xiao Xiao's soul ring age could have been increased even further.

Xiao Xiao's ten-thousand-year soul skill was also quite exceptional.

Just as Lin Yun had guessed, the Lava Earth Dragon and the Nine Dragon Cauldron Martial Soul were indeed a good match, allowing Xiao Xiao to directly obtain the Lava Earth Dragon's trump card soul skill: Lava Fury!

Xiao Xiao's Nine Dragon Cauldron Martial Soul is already extremely well-developed in terms of control. The three skills, Cauldron Shock, Cauldron Sway, and Cauldron Seal, are enough to give her a strong ability to restrict others. What she lacks now is offensive power.

Are control-type Soul Masters really completely devoid of offensive capabilities and only capable of control?

That's obviously impossible.

Just look at Huo Yuhao. He claims to be a mind control type soul master, but in the later stages, he uses Time-Space Light and Mental Blast, with each soul skill becoming more and more powerful.

Tang San was not to be outdone. Starting from his fifth spirit skill, Blue Silver Grass had almost become a powerful offensive spirit.

In general, all Soul Masters in Douluo Continent, unless they are support or food-type without combat power, will eventually become offensive types. The only difference lies in their attack methods.

Lin Yun naturally intended to adapt to local customs.

Lava Fury is a "control" type soul skill with powerful offensive capabilities.

Lin Yun had also tested the effect of this soul skill for Xiao Xiao. The effect was to turn Xiao Xiao's cauldron upside down and then condense a pillar of lava fire inside the cauldron, which would then attack in the direction the cauldron's mouth was pointing.

In addition, there is the special nature of the Nine Dragon Cauldron.

Lava Fury can be unleashed in its full form using a single, unified cauldron, or as a weakened version releasing small pillars of fire in the form of nine smaller cauldrons. These fire pillars will explode upon hitting their targets.

Targets struck by Lava Fury will be knocked back by the explosion and will also be stunned for a period of time. The knockback and stun effects are definitely useless against Lin Yun. His physical strength and martial spirit strength mean that even if he stands still and lets Xiao Xiao hit him, Xiao Xiao will not be able to break through his defenses.

It does have the effect of knocking back and stunning.

Look, it has knockback, stun, and can also inflict fire burst and burn. Isn't this a perfect control-type soul skill?

Although its power is only slightly greater than that of a typical control-type soul skill.

At least Xiao Xiao was quite satisfied with this soul skill. This way, she no longer needed to act like a tomboy, swinging a large cauldron to smash people. In the past, she might not have cared about her image, but now she just wanted to show Lin Yun her gentle side.

Xiao Xiao was very satisfied with the spirit ring that Lin Yun had helped her hunt, so she decided to give Lin Yun a generous reward.

That's how the scene at the beginning came about.

That's why Xiao Xiao is currently fast asleep on Lin Yun's chest. She's just too exhausted. If anyone were to tell her that "only oxen die from exhaustion, not fields spoiled by pears," Xiao Xiao would slap them hard across the face with the Lava Fury Soul Skill she had just acquired.

Sunset and moonrise, moonset and sunrise.

Exhausted, Xiao Xiao finally woke up from her sleep, stretched, and after feeling her weak body, rolled her eyes at Lin Yun resentfully.

"Brother Yun, you're so mean! You don't know how to be gentle with women at all!" Xiao Xiao pouted, feeling wronged.

Lin Yun's lips curled into a wicked smile as he said, "You were the one who said it felt good and told me to go faster and use more force. Why are you blaming me now?"

"Stop talking!" Xiao Xiao's pretty face turned red, and she threw herself into Lin Yun's arms with a soft cry, her little fists pounding his chest.

"Brother Yun is so mean! All he does is bully me all day long!"

The little girl's whimpering was naturally harmless; in fact, her "Thug Excitement Punch" made Lin Yun excited again.

However, considering that Xiao Xiao's body couldn't withstand his abuse, Lin Yun could only silently circulate the Sun True Scripture, and then smilingly pull Xiao Xiao into his arms.

"See, Your Majesty? I told you, no human girl is as good as me!" The Ice Emperor snorted softly, her tone tinged with resentment.

"Alright, alright, Bing'er, be good. I'll feed you when we get back." Lin Yun replied helplessly to Bingdi, coaxing this legally born 400,000-year-old loli like a daughter.

Hyotei wasn't being unreasonable; she was just infatuated and wanted Lin Yun's attention.

What did the little scorpion do wrong?

"No, I have to persuade Xue'er quickly, otherwise the Venerable One might really be snatched away by a human brat!" The Ice Emperor secretly plotted, while the Snow Emperor, who was cultivating by the Lake of Life not far away, suddenly felt a tingling sensation on her delicate nose.

"It's about time, we should head to Xingluo City!" Lin Yun patted Xiao Xiao's head and said softly.

"Huh? So soon..." Xiao Xiao looked up, her expression somewhat reluctant.

Although the Star Dou Great Forest was far from the hustle and bustle, and there were no other friends around, Xiao Xiao thoroughly enjoyed being alone with Lin Yun, savoring the tranquility and freshness of the primeval forest, and enjoying the most primal activities within it…

"If you like it here, we can come back after the competition is over," Lin Yun said, somewhat amused and exasperated.

Why does it seem like Xiao Xiao is unwilling to leave the Star Dou Great Forest, a place fraught with danger for Soul Masters?

"Okay~ It's a promise!"
