Douluo Continent: I possess astonishing wisdom as I control energy!

"Game start!"

Almost the instant the sound faded, Wu Ming didn't hesitate for a moment. Her golden crow wings flapped violently, and the scorching air currents lifted her body rapidly into the air, quickly increasing the distance between her and the ground.

She was well aware that her strengths lay in her agile movement in the air and her powerful fire-based bombardment capabilities, which were advantageous for most Soul Masters against ground targets.

Looking down from her vantage point, she saw that Kong Ming'an was not pursuing them; instead, a thick, blood-red mist emanated from his body.

The crimson mist churned and spread like a living thing, quickly obscuring his figure completely, leaving only an unsettling crimson area with a radius of about ten meters.

"Pretend to be a ghost!"

Wu Ming snorted coldly, but was secretly on guard. With a raise of his hand, his first spirit ring shone brightly.

"Golden Crow True Fire Break!"

Several blazing golden fireballs fell like meteors, striking precisely into the blood mist.

However, the expected explosion and energy shock did not occur. After the fireballs disappeared into the blood mist, they vanished without a trace, like a mud ox sinking into the sea, without even causing a ripple.

Wu Ming frowned slightly. This feeling suggested that her attack wasn't being blocked, but rather...lost control and then being devoured?

"Golden Crow is really hot!"

Undeterred, she activated her third spirit ring and launched another attack.

This time it's a wider-ranging and more persistent fire burst attack.

The golden flames surged into the blood mist, but the result was the same as before; they were still silently "swallowed" by the eerie blood mist.

What the hell is this?

Wu Ming felt a sense of unease; the other party's methods were too unpredictable, and she really couldn't understand them.

And in the brief moment between her thoughts,

"call out!"

A crimson spear, formed entirely from condensed blood and qi, tore through the blood mist without warning and hurtled through the air!

That's too fast.

He even timed his actions perfectly to the point where she was caught in a moment of distraction, leaving her no time to dodge!

"Fourth Soul Skill, Golden Crow True Fire Ring!"

Her fourth spirit ring flashed with purple light, and in the next instant, a condensed golden flame ring instantly formed in front of her for defense.

"boom!"

The Qi and Blood Spear slammed into the ring of flames, producing a dull, resounding crash.

The ring of flames trembled violently, barely managing to block the shot, but it collapsed in an instant!

What alarmed Wu Ming even more was that at the moment of the collision, she felt a very brief stagnation and loss of control in the flow of her soul power, as if something was interfering with her control over her own soul skills!

Before she could think it through, "Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" Several more spears brimming with qi and blood burst forth from different angles, sealing off all her escape routes!

Wu Ming gritted his teeth, golden flames erupted around his body, and while desperately dodging and weaving, he once again activated his soul skill to defend.

"Boom! Boom!"

She managed to defeat most of the spears, but one of them pierced through the gap in the flames and struck her precisely in the lower abdomen!

"Well!"

Wu Ming let out a muffled groan, but the expected excruciating pain did not come. The moment the Qi and Blood Spear touched her body, it transformed into a crimson energy that surged directly into her body.

Wu Ming's expression changed drastically, and she staggered in mid-air.

She felt as if the flow of soul power within her body had crashed into an invisible wall, and her originally unobstructed meridians were forcibly blocked by a foreign, scorching, and stagnant energy.

Her soul power lost its flow channel and surged wildly within her body, bringing an indescribable bloating and suffocation, making her feel so uncomfortable that she almost vomited!

"Fifth Soul Skill, Golden Crow..."

She raised her hand, trying to forcefully activate a stronger soul skill, but found that her meridians were severely blocked, and her soul power could not be smoothly condensed at all. Even the soul skills that she could use with a thought were extremely difficult to use.

Just as she was struggling, another spear of vital energy was already upon her!

"puff!"

This time, the blow landed squarely on her shoulder, causing even more energy and blood to rush into her body, instantly intensifying the feeling of blockage!

Unable to maintain flight any longer, Wu Ming's Golden Crow Martial Soul possession state was forcibly dispelled, and like a bird with broken wings, he plummeted straight down from the sky, crashing headfirst into the churning crimson mist below.

Almost the instant he was submerged in the blood mist, Wu Ming felt an unprecedented sense of suffocation.

The air around her was no longer pure air, but an intensely thick, scorching aura of blood that relentlessly seeped into her body through her skin's pores.

His meridians were completely blocked, and his soul power was entirely sealed within his body, rendering him unable to move.

The feeling was like being pressed firmly into a deep pool of viscous blood, powerless to struggle, with only despair slowly engulfing her like a cold tide.

I'm dying?

The thought surfaced, and an instinctive fear, like that of a living being, began to surge uncontrollably into Wu Ming's heart. Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, and despair filled her pupils.

however,

Death did not come as she had expected.

She fell into a not-so-wide, but exceptionally stable embrace.

As the feeling of suffocation subsided slightly, Wu Ming struggled to lift her eyes. Through her blurred vision, she saw the handsome face of the young man so close to her, and those calm, unwavering black eyes.

Her heart seemed to stop for a moment.

"Admit defeat?"

The boy's cool voice rang in her ear, without mockery or smugness, just a calm inquiry.

Wu Ming snapped back to reality. The fear and despair she had felt moments before transformed into an overwhelming sense of humiliation. Instinctively, she gritted her teeth and stubbornly maintained her composure:

"Don't even think about it!"

Chapter 64 Body Cultivator: Dare to let me get within ten meters?!

Seeing Wu Ming's stubbornness, Kong Ming'an remained silent, but a thought flickered in his mind.

"Well!"

Wu Ming instantly felt the surge of qi and blood power flowing into his body suddenly increase!

The terrifying feeling of having one's soul power completely locked up, as if one were about to be "drowned" alive in the next second, returned, even several times stronger than before!

Overwhelming fear and despair instantly shattered her psychological defenses.

"I admit defeat! I give up!!"

With her last ounce of strength, she managed to call out, her voice trembling with a hint of a sob.

The moment the words left his mouth, the suffocating feeling receded like a tide. Although his meridians were still blocked and uncomfortable, at least his breathing was smooth again.

Wu Ming's face was flushed, and she slumped into Kong Ming'an's arms, her clothes soaked with cold sweat, panting heavily.

The crimson mist that enveloped the arena slowly dissipated, revealing Kong Ming'an standing calmly within, and Wu Ming, who was nearly exhausted, in his arms.

The referee paused for a moment before announcing loudly:

"In the first individual match, Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy wins!"

A brief silence fell over the entire stadium, followed by the usual deafening cheers.

Kong Ming'an's gaze was calm as he released his grip.

Wu Ming staggered, and only managed to stand up with the slight support of Kong Ming'an.

Standing there, she felt her legs were incredibly weak. It seemed her soul power had completely solidified within her meridians, rendering it utterly unusable—a sensation she had never experienced before.

At this moment, she even felt somewhat unfamiliar with her own body, and could barely maintain any control.

After a while, she finally got used to her unfamiliar body. She glanced at Kong Ming'an with a very complicated expression, then lowered her head and left the competition stage, looking somewhat lost.

Kongming stood on the platform, waiting for his next opponent.

What did he just do?

Simply put, it essentially involves using one's highly condensed qi and blood to forcibly invade the opponent's body, interfering with and blocking the channels through which their soul power circulates, thereby achieving an effect similar to "suppressing magic."

Furthermore, because the use of Qi and Blood Power is carried out simultaneously with Soul Power and Spiritual Power, this method can also be used on solidified Soul Skills to disrupt their energy structure.

In short, it adds the "spellbreaking" effect.

The way his blood and qi condensed into mist and spread out was similar to the unfolding of a domain. Although it was only in its initial stage and somewhat rough, it was indeed a "blood and qi domain" unique to "body cultivators"!

Within the "Qi and Blood Domain", the use of all soul skills becomes difficult. If a non-"Body Cultivator" soul master enters the domain, his body will be instantly eroded by the power of Qi and Blood, and the "magic suppression" effect will also be achieved!

Moreover, this is even more thorough than the "magic suppression" effect achieved by using Qi and Blood Condensation Attack, completely sealing off the body's soul power!

A strange feeling unconsciously flashed through Kong Ming's mind.

It seems that research on the application of Qi and Blood Power is developing in the direction of "Dharma Cultivation".

Kong Ming'an shook his head, deciding to put the matter aside for the time being.

Although the development of Qi and Blood Power is somewhat strange, it must be admitted that this ability is incredibly effective against traditional Soul Masters.

Although the release of the "Qi and Blood Domain" is currently very crude, only able to condense blood mist from qi and blood, and its range is limited to a radius of ten meters,

If it weren't on a competition stage, his short arms would easily be exposed.

but.

Using it at this time truly embodies the beauty of restrained mechanism.

Who says "body cultivation" only has stats and no mechanics?

……

……

the other side,

In the Shrek Academy rest area, everyone immediately surrounded Wu Ming, whose face was pale.

"Wu Ming, how are you? Are you injured?" Han Ruoruo asked with concern.

Wu Ming shook her head, her voice slightly hoarse. The proud confidence she had displayed earlier was gone, and her eyes held a slight vacancy, tinged with a strange sense of despondency.

"I'm not injured, but I can't use my soul power at all. It feels like my meridians are blocked by something."

"Now, apart from the physical attributes of a Soul King, I'm practically just an ordinary person."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to participate in the later matches."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of all the Shrek Academy members became extremely solemn.

Zhang Lexuan's heart sank even further. Her worst premonition had come true. The other party's strange ability was simply the nemesis of Soul Masters!

The teacher in charge of the team looked ashen-faced. After a moment of contemplation, he tentatively glanced at Xuanzi, who was watching the battle from behind:

"Elder Xuan, have you figured out what methods the other party used?"

Xuanzi remained silent, his gaze fixed on the figure on the distant competition stage. A sense of apprehension arose in his heart, but he dared not let any other emotions arise.

After a long silence, he shook his head and uttered two words: "I don't know."

Teacher in charge: "..."

I shouldn't have asked!

The teacher in charge suppressed his emotions, recalled the battle between Wu Ming and Kong Ming'an in his mind, hesitated for a moment, and then said in a deep voice:

"His ability to interfere with the flow of soul power is suspected to be related to that blood mist. Also, the opponent's attack methods. Next match, Li Yi, you're up!"

"Your Azure Wind Falcon Martial Soul is the fastest, excelling in long-range guerrilla warfare and cutting, and you also possess wind elemental power. Perhaps you can break through his blood mist and find an opportunity!"

A lean, sharp-eyed team member nodded. He was the agility-type Soul King in this year's Shrek Academy's main team.

Bearing the hopes of the entire team, Li Yi naturally stepped onto the competition stage, and then...

This Azure Wind Falcon Soul King was defeated even faster than Wu Ming.

He also appeared pale and indicated that he was unable to use his soul power and therefore could not participate in the next match.

His speed was indeed very fast, but this time, the blood mist surrounding the boy opposite him revealed the ability to change shape at will and follow the boy's main body.
