Then their relationship was discovered by Qian Xunji, the "Douluo version of the evil of this world". Not knowing what he was thinking, he chose to forcibly possess Bibi Dong and forced Bibi Dong to drive Yu Xiaogang out of Wuhun City.
Yu Xiaogang thought he had read all the books in the Spirit Hall, but he could not find a way to break through. So he traveled around the continent and published the records he saw in the sect and the Spirit Hall in the "Spirit News", gradually making a name for himself.
After publishing the article "The Top Ten Competitive Strengths of the Martial Soul Core", Yu Xiaogang, who was called "Master" by the majority of civilian soul masters, met Flanders and Liu Erlong, and together they were given the title of "Golden Iron Triangle".
Then the group disappeared. According to the original novel, they must have discovered that Liu Erlong was related to them by blood, and in order to avoid having their legs broken, they ran away without saying anything.
Gu You looked down on such irresponsible men the most, and said sarcastically: "Yu Xiaogang, you have lost the inquiring spirit of a scholar now."
"Or have you never had an inquiring spirit?"
"You are just a level 29 Great Spirit Master, so don't even think about teaching someone stronger than you how to fight. What you need to do is find a junior spirit master academy and teach those kids who have just embarked on the path of becoming spirit masters what spirit beasts are."
"Instead of being like you were in Notting City, holding on to your bullshit theories every day and thinking that you are not appreciated for your talent. There is not a single soul master in the entire Notting City who has ever listened to a single class you gave!"
The "Master" Yu Xiaogang, who had just been talking loudly about what Tang San should do, now just wanted to wake up from his nightmare as soon as possible.
Before a minute had passed, the loser he had identified had defeated his student, Ma Hongjun, who had an absolute advantage in attributes, with just two moves. It only took two moves! And the theory he was so proud of was completely refuted. It was as if this theory was a joke.
Yu Xiaogang's eyes were red with anger, his lips were trembling slightly, but he couldn't say anything to refute. He racked his brains, but couldn't figure out why Tang San's Blue Silver Grass was not afraid of Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Flame.
There are tens of thousands of martial spirits in the world. Yu Xiaogang, who has read most of the books in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect and the Spirit Hall, knows that there have been plant martial spirits that are not afraid of fire in the Douluo Continent, but it is impossible for a plant martial spirit that is not afraid of fire to be named "Blue Silver Grass".
'God, if you really exist, please let me wake up from this nightmare.'
Looking at Ma Hongjun struggling in the sea of blue silver grass, and seeing his struggle gradually weakening, Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth and shouted loudly: "Hongjun, I allow it."
"Use the third soul skill."
It was really hard to communicate with his family and listen to them crying and saying good and bad things about that person. I could also feel their torment and sadness.
Chapter 254: Master of Reverse Attributes
"Here it comes, a brand new and unknown third soul skill!" After hearing what Yu Xiaogang said, Gu You no longer cared about the academic debate with Yu Xiaogang, and focused his attention on Ma Hongjun who was covered by the blue silver grass.
According to Gu You's observation, Ma Hongjun's first and second soul skills seem to be similar to those described in the original novel, most likely Phoenix Fire Line and Phoenix Rising from the Ashes.
The first soul skill, Phoenix Fire Line, has been developed to a certain extent, turning the continuous output of linear flames into a one-time burst of fireballs to increase instantaneous lethality.
This development is not bad, at least it is different from Phoenix Fire Line and adds a new means of attack. However, if it is Guyou, more uses will be developed.
But even though he was submerged in the ocean of blue silver grass created by Tang San, Ma Hongjun did not use his third soul skill, and he didn't even have the intention to use it.
The third soul skill in the original work is called Phoenix Wings Sky-Soaring, and its effect is to increase the power of fire and flight. If the third soul skill is still this, there is no reason why Ma Hongjun would not use this move to increase the power.
In other words, there must be something wrong with the third soul skill of this thin version of Ma Hongjun, but no one knows what the problem is.
In the darkness, Ma Hongjun, a thin man who was tightly tied up with blue silver grass, heard Yu Xiaogang's voice, and his tightly closed eyes suddenly opened with a strange smile on his face. The only thousand-year soul ring was emitting a strange purple light at this time.
At this moment, the flames that had occasionally erupted before suddenly calmed down, and the purple flame that ignited the blue silver grass was absorbed back into the body by Ma Hongjun who was buried under the blue silver grass, as if he was ready to surrender.
This strange calmness made Tang San's eyes appear a little solemn.
Tang San knew very well that the current calm was like the eve of a rainstorm. The wind in the air would suddenly disappear, and when it appeared next time, it would be with unprecedented force, blowing away everything.
Suddenly, a bulge appeared in the middle of the blue silver grass, and then a black and red pillar of fire pierced through the thick blue silver grass and rose from the ground, with an explosive force as fierce as a volcanic eruption.
Sparks flew everywhere, and the blue silver grass would be ignited if it was touched by the falling sparks. The black and red flames spread rapidly, and soon all the blue silver grass around it was burned to ashes.
Then a phoenix cry was heard from the pillar of fire, and the fire pillar that cleared the surroundings instantly dissipated. A black figure, accompanied by the remaining heat, appeared in front of everyone under the protection of the flames.
This figure was exactly Ma Hongjun who was easily suppressed by the more serious Tang San just now, but except for the different face, no one would think that the current person was the Ma Hongjun just now.
The hair that was usually bright as fire and turned into a purple-red mohawk during battle was now as black as ink. The pupils also changed from red to black, and the pupils were out of focus, like a dark cave with no bottom, making it impossible to know what was inside.
The feathers on the arms become wider and longer. When the arms are raised horizontally, the longer feathers at the elbows can even hang down to near the knees.
The number of feathers increased dramatically, and the hands that were supposed to be exposed in claw-like shapes were also covered with new feathers. Looking at the arms alone, they looked no different from the wings of normal birds.
The color also changed from purple-red to black-red. The feather shaft in the center of each feather was still as red as a flame, but the outer circle looked like it was carefully painted with ink with a brush, giving it a kind of weird beauty.
But these changes were not as great as the change in his aura. In Gu You's perception, Ma Hongjun's aura changed from gloomy to violent, as fierce as a gas stove that had just been poured with a bucket of oil. Even though he had no expression on his face, the flames on his body were still rolling, as if they would explode at any time.
"what is this?"
Everyone in Tiandou was extremely surprised to see Ma Hongjun, who seemed like a different person.
It is normal for status-based soul skills to cause great changes in the soul master possessed by the martial soul. Gu You, who used the third soul skill Crazy Dragon, and Dai Mubai, who used the third soul skill White Tiger King Kong Transformation, both experienced great changes.
But Ma Hongjun's change cannot be described as a change, it feels like he has become a different person.
Only Gu You, looking at this scene, thought to himself: "No way..."
At this stage, it is estimated that only Gu You can recognize this posture. The blazing black flames and the breath of destructive desire, isn't this the appearance of Ma Xiaotao, the descendant of Ma Hongjun, who fell into the black phoenix ten thousand years later in the original novel?
However, Ma Xiaotao's flame completely turned black, while Ma Hongjun's flame only turned black on the outer part, while the inner part was still the normal red.
Unsure whether Ma Hongjun had truly degenerated into a black phoenix, or whether the flame had simply changed due to the use of his third soul skill, Gu You decided to sit back and not take any action to control this guy.
Of course, there was only one reason that supported Gu You to remain inactive. It was not because of the three Soul Douluo-level education committee members standing next to him, but because of the man standing opposite Ma Hongjun, whose name was Tang San.
Even if Ma Hongjun's spirit really degenerated into a black phoenix, Gu You didn't think that Ma Hongjun could really do anything to Tang San.
Yes, this black-red flame is much more powerful than the purple-red flame just now, and they are no longer on the same level. But no one has said that the blue silver grass just now was Tang San's greatest contribution.
"Third soul skill: Black Phoenix Feathers. You are already proud enough as a soul master of plant spirits to be able to let me use this move."
Black Phoenix Feather Robe, a powerful status-type soul skill from the soul beast Nephthys.
In addition to transforming Ma Hongjun's arms from decorations into real wings that can fly, it can also further tap the power of fire and release more powerful phoenix flames.
But the Nephthys chosen by Ma Hongjun is different. It is not an ordinary Nephthys, but a mutated Nephthys.
Nephthys, as a soul beast with phoenix blood in its body, inherited the power of the fire phoenix from the Phoenix clan to control flames, and fights by dominating flames.
(In Douluo Continent, the phoenix and the real phoenix are two different creatures. The real phoenix is a top beast that can fight against the dragon clan, while the phoenix is just a powerful beast. As an aside, the phoenix in Douluo Continent is closer to a combination of the Vermillion Bird and the Phoenix. It does not represent auspiciousness, but a kind of power. The fire phoenix symbolizes fire or the sun.)
However, the Nephthys that became Ma Hongjun's third soul ring mutated into Dark Nephthys due to an innate mutation, and the color of its flame also changed from normal golden red to an ominous black-red.
Because she was different from others, she was ostracized by other Nephthys in the tribe. Eventually, she had to live alone away from the tribe until her death, when she turned into Ma Hongjun's soul ring.
He felt the endless power flowing through his body. The heat that had burned his internal organs in the past now burst outward, becoming a raging fire that seemed to be able to burn everything in sight with just a wave of his hand.
Ma Hongjun had completely forgotten the embarrassment of being suppressed by the mere Blue Silver Grass just now, and only wanted to vent this unparalleled violence.
He glanced at Tang San calmly, waved his arms, and his body rose to about three meters in the air. The flames emitted were as thick as colloid, and the surface looked like silk, and on his body surface, they turned into the shape of a huge fierce bird.
Looking at Tang San standing on the ground, Ma Hongjun, who was hanging in the air, had no joy or sadness on his face. He aimed his wings at Tang San and waved them vigorously. The flames wrapped around his arms turned into a raging wave of fire, rushing towards Tang San like an overwhelming force.
Tang San waved his hand, and the blue silver grass and the flaming snake that emitted a faint white light instantly turned into a city wall, blocking the flames.
At the moment of contact, the white light on the surface of the blue silver grass was burned by the destructive aura contained in the flames, the purple-red flames were also covered by black and red, and the city walls were completely ignited by the flames.
Unlike the explosive external flames of ordinary Nephthys, the flames of Dark Nephthys are more focused on absolute destruction of single targets, which is a perfect match for Ma Hongjun's corrosive evil fire.
Therefore, it is normal for the same level of sun protection to be killed instantly without any effect when facing the more advanced black and red flames.
Without the protection of sunlight energy, the blue silver grass looked extremely fragile in the face of the flames. Before it had a chance to display its vigorous vitality, and before it could leave any grass seeds for backup, it was burned to ashes by the black flames.
The remaining flames hit the place where Tang San had just stood, but Tang San had anticipated this and quickly retreated after building up his defense. At this time, he had already retreated to fifteen meters away.
"Interesting."
Looking at the strange flame that burned his Blue Silver Grass in an instant, Tang San's eyes flashed with a strange color. There was curiosity and thought, but no solemnity.
"I wonder if this flame can be used for forging. Will it give ordinary metal bases some special effects..."
Facing this powerful black flame, Tang San's face was still very relaxed, as if he didn't take Ma Hongjun to heart at all. Instead, he was still thinking about whether there was a chance to use this flame in forging the soul guide base.
One of the weaknesses of Blue Silver Grass is fire, which Tang San had anticipated. After obtaining the third spirit skill, Blue Silver Grass still had resistance to ordinary flames. But facing this mutated Phoenix flame, it was powerless.
Tang San waved his hand, and all the lush blue silver grass burrowed into the ground, revealing bare soil and rocks. He turned his head to look at Gu You who was standing beside him, and Gu You happened to look at Tang San. The two smiled at each other and nodded at the same time.
"Humph." Seeing that Tang San was absent-minded even in the face of such a powerful self, and still had the mood to look at the people on the sidelines, Ma Hongjun was furious, snorted coldly, and vowed to leave Tang San with an unforgettable painful memory.
"Phoenix FireWire!"
He spewed flames from his mouth again, the scorching flames distorted the air, but Tang San was not in a hurry, and danced in the flames again. The power of the flames did increase, but the speed of the flames did not increase. No matter how powerful it was, it would be in vain if it didn't hit anyone.
Ma Hongjun also knew this. After spraying fire for so long, even if he didn't know it at first, he now knew that his attacks were useless against Tang San.
A fierce light flashed in his eyes, and the arms that turned into wings on both sides of his body stretched out again, ready to stir up another wave of flames.
Tang San had avoided the flame wave just now, but this time Ma Hongjun used the flame wave at the same time as the Phoenix Fire Line. The single point breakthrough plus the range damage was enough to make Tang San unable to avoid it.
Noticing Ma Hongjun's forward sway, Tang San's eyes lit up. He stretched out his arm, pointed his index and middle fingers at Ma Hongjun who was hovering in the air, and waved it upwards. Instantly, a long blue-silver grass grew out of the ground and attacked Ma Hongjun straight away.
"Sunlight Blade, cut!"
An unprecedented white light bloomed from this blue silver grass. All the blue silver grasses were gathered together just for this moment. Yes, ordinary sunlight energy protection is indeed unable to resist the burning of your flames, but can your flames withstand the strongest blue silver grass that integrates the sunlight energy of all blue silver grasses!
Yu Xiaogang mentioned that the weakness of Blue Silver Grass was fire when he got the third ring, and he did not have any plan to help Tang San make up for this weakness.
How to fight against a fire attribute soul master? I don't know. How to fight against a fire attribute soul beast? I don't know. What to do when you need to fight a life-and-death battle with a fire attribute soul master? I don't know.
Don't ask, I just don't know. Tang San is a control-type spirit master, so he should make good use of his attack-type teammates. If he can't stop them, he can pull Dai Mubai over to act as a human shield.
If there is no way to avoid it and a fight really has to happen, then use Tang San's own hidden weapon plug-in and Clear Sky Hammer to solve it. Blue Silver Grass? It's just overused garbage.
If Tang San had not eaten the Fiery Apricot and the Eight-Angled Mysterious Ice Grass at the same time in the Yin-Yang Eye of Fire and Ice, not to mention whether the Blue Silver Grass with its poison attribute not awakened would collapse, it is estimated that when he reached the 90th level of Titled Douluo realm, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass would still be weak to fire and ice.
Gu You was not used to ignoring weaknesses. From the beginning, the two of them had formulated various careful battle plans targeting the various weaknesses of the Blue Silver Grass. This habit did not change even after Tang San obtained the third spirit skill that could resist fire and ice and increase strength and attack power.
And the fact proved that Gu You's preparation was the right decision. If the one standing on the top now was Tang San who learned to counter Yu Xiaogang's moves in the original novel, without eating the two magical herbs of ice and fire, even if the spirit skills were of the same configuration, he would be completely in the dark and could not find a way to win except for hidden weapons and the second martial spirit.
The sunlight blade, which had been prepared long ago, drew a pure white crescent in the air and hit Ma Hongjun's shoulder hard as he stretched out his arms and could not move. His body fell heavily to the ground like a meteor.
Looking at Ma Hongjun lying on the ground with his flames extinguished, Tang San waited for a while and found that although he had not released his spirit possession state, he was unable to get up and fight again.
So he took back the Blue Silver Grass that was ready to strike a second time, and said lightly: "Thank you." He no longer paid attention to him, turned to Gu You next to him, and smiled and gave him a thumbs up.
Gu You also smiled. The plan he had made in advance came in handy. He also gave Tang San a thumbs up.
Although the sunlight blade just now looked mighty and powerful, Tang San did not want to kill anyone, and instinctively withdrew his power the moment it came into contact.
In addition, the Sunlight Blade did not use the sharp edge when it was swung down, but used the relatively wide veins. It was more like a slash than a cut. So Ma Hongjun did not stand up to fight again. It was more likely that his clavicle was fractured and he was in so much pain that he could not stand up, rather than being in danger of his life.
"No, this is impossible! Ma Hongjun, stand up!"
When I was at work, I looked at every corner and seemed to find traces of his activities there. Even though I knew that these traces were as fragile as castles on the beach, I still wanted to do my best to preserve them. It was strange. We were not related at all, and if I thought about it carefully, our relationship was not that good, but I just didn't want him to disappear from my life completely.
Also, thank you all for your comfort and suggestions for me to take a break, but I have already promised to update, so I will still finish this update before considering other things.
