After witnessing all kinds of Diamond-rank and Divine-rank soul skills, Bu Zheng became serious.
He had once killed a Martial King expert nine years ago.
With his current situation, if he didn't suppress the dragon force in his body and unleash his full strength, he would undoubtedly be courting death.
Therefore, his current strength was invincible under the Martial King realm. His overall strength was stronger than Yun Tianqi and Ye Xing, but not above them.
The difference in strength between a Fighter and a Demon Spiritualist wasn't that big.
A Fighter absorbs spiritual energy to temper his body. A higher rank meant that more body parts were tempered, greater strength, faster speed, and better control of spiritual energy.
However, this didn't mean that a higher rank could surpass a lower rank.
If one's combat skills, cultivation techniques, or martial techniques were stronger, they could still make up for the difference in rank.
This was especially true for a Demon Spiritualist.
A Demon Spiritualist nurtured a demon spirit. The rank of the demon spirit represented the star level of the Demon Spiritualist.
A Seven-Star Demon Spiritualist didn't mean that he was stronger than a Six-Star Demon Spiritualist.
A higher rank demon spirit meant that it had more soul force and could absorb one more soul skill. Because of the soul force, the soul skill's power would be stronger.
Some High-Rank Demon Spiritualists had less soul skills than Mid-Rank Demon Spiritualists because they didn't have money or couldn't find the soul skill they wanted.
Take Yun Tianqi for example. Although he was an Eight-Star Demon Spiritualist, he only absorbed six soul skills.
If the rank of the Natal Demon Spirit was higher or the rank of the soul skill was higher, the combination of the soul skills would be more perfect.
It was even normal to be able to jump two ranks.
Ye Qiu's Bramble Demonic Dragon had reached the fifth rank, which meant that he was already a Five-Star Demon Spiritualist.
However, with the Bramble Demonic Dragon's rank advantage and Divine-rank innate skills, in addition to the High-Rank soul skills, his strength could defeat most Seven-Star Demon Spiritualists.
Linfeng and his group's strength wasn't bad. They had refined Earth Ranking demon spirits or Rank 9 demon spirits. Their innate skills were very powerful, and they even had Divine-rank soul skills.
This group of geniuses was comparable to a Seven-Star Demon Spiritualist. Linfeng was comparable to an Eight-Star Demon Spiritualist.
As for Yun Tianqi and Ye Xing, it was hard to find opponents under the Martial King realm. Even if they couldn't defeat them, they had the ability to safely retreat.
At this moment, Linfeng's group was strong enough to challenge king tiers, and they might even be able to kill them. However, most of them would also be killed.
As his Soul Power vibrated, Bu Zheng also entered his Demon Transformation state.
"So handsome."
Dong Xiaomei's eyes lit up.
At this moment, no one made a move. Instead, they quietly watched Bu Zheng's demon spirit possession.
He was indeed handsome!
In his Demon Transformation state, Bu Zheng was no different from a person who refined a Dragon Attribute Demon Spirit. His originally black pupils were now like two sapphires. His figure became a little slender. The surface of his body was covered with dragon scales and dragon wings grew out from his back. No matter if it was the dragon scales or the dragon wings, they were actually like blue crystals, flickering with a resplendent luster unique to crystals, extremely gorgeous.
At this moment, Bu Zheng was wielding a long sword. The sword was crystal clear and exuded a cold aura. His greyish-white hair gave off an immortal feeling.
In terms of appearance, the current Bu Zheng wasn't inferior to Yunkai at all. If it weren't for the meridian-like patterns flowing on the surface of Yunkai's body, he wouldn't be as handsome as Bu Zheng.
"No wonder he was able to become the Son of Glory. His appearance alone adds a lot of points."
Yun Tianqi exclaimed.
"You're really handsome!
No wonder you had so many female fans back then. "
Not only Linfeng's group, but even Dong Xiuxian exclaimed.
As someone from the same generation, he naturally saw Bu Zheng's Demon Transformation state. He wasn't surprised and only sighed.
Once upon a time, the name Bu Yuanlong was even crazier than the Ten Great All-Stars.
He was a monster that they wanted to chase after, but they had to look up to.
"Hehe."
Bu Zheng smiled at everyone's exclamations and didn't mind.
Ever since he became the Dean of Hongyun University's College of Martial Arts, he hadn't possessed a demon spirit for a long time. He really did miss it.
Along with the exclamations, Dong Xiuxian also entered the Demon Transformation state.
Aside from Dong Xiaomei, this was the first time the others saw Dong Xiuxian's Demon Transformation state.
Compared to Bu Zheng, Dong Xiuxian didn't change much. After entering the Demon Transformation state, his eyes turned blue and his hands turned snow-white. His entire body emitted a cold aura.
"Ice Crystal Snow Silkworm."
Looking at Dong Xiuxian's blue eyes and snow-white hands, Linfeng thought in his heart.
Rank 9 Ice Crystal Snow Silkworm. This demon spirit didn't give the Demon Spiritualist sharp claws or wings, nor did it increase strength or speed. Its innate skill, [Frost], wasn't very high, only Gold rank. However, in the hands of a Demon Spiritualist who refined the Ice Crystal Snow Silkworm, it could unleash the effect of a Diamond rank soul. Although it wasn't as good as an Earth Ranking demon spirit like the Ice Ghost, it was still a demon spirit that was very suitable for an Ice Magician.
Similar to Bu Zheng, Dong Xiuxian was also an expert in ice.
After entering the Demon Transformation state, Dong Xiuxian slightly lifted his right foot and stepped on the ground. A bone-chilling cold instantly spread throughout the entire training ground. Not only the ground, even the walls and the roof were covered in ice.
"Ice Spread, Gold rank soul skill."
Dong Xiaomei quickly said. She was very clear about her father's soul skill.
The cold ice quickly spread to his feet. Linfeng lifted his foot and the sound of ice cracking resounded. Because of the battle earlier, there was a lot of water on the ground and the air was very humid. This increased the speed and effect of Dong Xiuxian's soul skill.
Feeling the cold coming from his feet, Linfeng's expression became serious.
Gold rank soul skills weren't high. Linfeng's soul skills were at least Purple Gold rank. However, because of the rank of his Natal Demon Spirit and his soul power, Dong Xiuxian's soul skills were much stronger than theirs.
At the very least, none of them were able to spread their soul skills to the entire training ground.
"Soul skills don't necessarily have to be of a higher rank. You need to be able to use soul skills according to the opponent and the environment."
Dong Xiuxian said with a smile. Just as he finished speaking, the cold wind whistled and snow fell. In an instant, everyone felt as if they had arrived in a world of ice and snow. Furthermore, the temperature was getting lower and lower.
The sudden change in temperature caused Yue Mingming's body to tremble.
Even the green mushroom above everyone's head was slightly trembling. The closer it was to their heads, the weaker the green light it emitted.
The training ground suddenly turned into a skating rink. Dong Xiuxian and Bu Zheng charged towards Linfeng's team at the same time.
"Yu Nan, the timing of your support was very good. However, for a water type soul skill like the Nine Dragons Bind, if there's an ice type mage present, don't use it so easily. It's easy for the opponent to take advantage of it."
Dong Xiuxian said as he ran. On the ground that was covered in ice, not only was his speed not affected, it was even faster.
Facing Bu Zheng and Dong Xiuxian's attacks, Linfeng's team gathered together. Just as they were about to release their soul skills …
"Water Dragon Roar."
"Ocean Wave Impact."
Dong Xiuxian and Bu Zheng looked at each other and released their soul skills at the same time. These were two Silver rank soul skills. Although their ranks weren't high, any water type demon spiritualist would be able to absorb them as their first or second soul skill.
No matter if it's used for support or defense, it's pretty good.
"Hua Hua Hua …"
A huge wave came crashing down from a height of ten meters. Within the huge wave, a huge water dragon stepped on the wave and charged towards Linfeng's team.
"Spread out."
Linfeng yelled.
This type of support-type soul skill doesn't have any attack power, but it's hard to block it head-on.
Yang Ningbing stepped on the ground and leapt up. In mid-air, she flapped her dragon wings and looked down to look for Bu Zheng and Dong Xiuxian. However, she could only see Dong Xiuxian. At this moment, Dong Xiuxian was walking on the wave. Seems like he's playing?
"Where's Dean Bu?"
Yang Ningbing muttered to herself. Before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly felt a slight airflow behind her. Her face changed and she immediately flapped her wings. Just as she was about to dodge, a hand was already placed on her shoulder. A blue light flashed and blue ice crystals began to spread to her shoulder, causing her body to stiffen. At this moment, Bu Zheng's voice slowly sounded.
"Against people with teleportation, don't simply fly. On the ground, it's safer. On the air, it's harder to dodge. If you want to fly, fly higher. The limit of teleportation is generally not more than twelve meters."
After speaking, Bu Zheng's figure disappeared.
Looking at the sparkling and translucent blue ice crystals on her shoulder, Yang Ningbing helplessly shook her head. She seemed a little dejected. She lost without even using a single soul skill. Regardless of battle experience, soul power, or demon spirit grade, she was crushed.
Linfeng watched as Yang Ningbing was eliminated. He wanted to release a substitute, but the distance was too far and he couldn't do anything.
Although they had an absolute advantage in numbers, the two water-type support-type soul skills made their advantage disappear.
Soon, Yue Mingming, Chen Tianming, and the others were eliminated one after another. They couldn't fly, so they were powerless.
The Avengers Alliance started with twelve people, but now there were only five left. Other than Linfeng, there were only four people left: Yunkai, Ye Qiu, Yun Tianqi, and Ye Xing.
At this moment, Linfeng was already circulating the Dragonfish Transformation. His body was covered in dragon scales and a pair of azure dragon wings sprouted from his back.
At this moment, he flapped his wings and flew towards Yunkai. Ye Qiu and the other two did the same. The five of them quickly gathered.
At this moment, Dong Xiuxian and Bu Zheng were also in the air. They weren't in a hurry to attack.
"They have an advantage in soul power, so their soul skills are much stronger than ours. We have to work together. If we fight one-on-one, we'll be defeated one by one."
Ye Xing flapped his wings and said quickly.
Dong Xiuxian was easier to deal with, but Bu Zheng was more difficult to deal with.
Bu Zheng had the Instant Movement soul skill and dragon wings after refining the Earth Ranking's Blue Crystal Dragon. He was too fast.
Coupled with his demon spirit's innate skill, Ice Crystallization, if he got close to his body, it was equivalent to being eliminated.
"Let's split them up first. The four of us will deal with Uncle Dong first. Akai, you stall Dean Bu first."
Linfeng shouted. In the next moment, silver arcs of lightning gathered under his feet and instantly disappeared. He shot towards Dong Xiuxian like a bolt of lightning.
Yun Tianqi followed closely behind. After refining the Ghost Mantis, he had a pair of translucent wings as thin as a cicada's. His flying speed was even faster than Linfeng's, and he appeared in front of Dong Xiuxian in an instant.
Yunkai waved his hand and controlled the 15 flying swords to chase after Bu Zheng, preventing him from assisting Dong Xiuxian.
In the air, anyone would find it difficult to deal with the pursuit and encirclement of swords, and Bu Zheng was no exception.
He wanted to deal with Yunkai first, but with Ye Xing and Yun Tianqi guarding him, he didn't act rashly.
While he was dodging, Yun Tianqi and Linfeng had already appeared in front of Dong Xiuxian.
Dong Xiuxian didn't plan to escape. Linfeng and Yun Tianqi were both very fast, so there was no point in running.
At this moment, Yun Tianqi was like a mantis in human form. His emerald green eyes didn't seem to have a trace of emotion. Under this icy gaze, Dong Xiuxian's expression changed slightly.
Whoosh!
With the sound of flapping wings, Yun Tianqi suddenly appeared in front of Dong Xiuxian. His right hand swung like a sickle, so fast that the trajectory of his blade couldn't be seen clearly.
Dong Xiuxian didn't dare to meet it head-on. A ray of light flashed through his blue eyes, and a layer of ice suddenly appeared in front of him. With an ear-piercing sound, cracks appeared on the ice, but it didn't shatter.
"Fifth soul skill, Thousand Cuts."
Accompanied by a low roar, Yun Tianqi quickly waved his hands. Blade images filled the sky, and the ice cracked and fell. Dong Xiuxian dodged repeatedly, not daring to meet it head-on.
"Seventh soul skill, Flying Ice Blade."
Ice blades appeared around Dong Xiuxian and spun at high speed, emitting ear-piercing whistles. In the next second, the wind blades flew toward Yun Tianqi.
This time, the one running away was Yun Tianqi. With his speed, he wasn't injured. After releasing his soul skill, he approached Dong Xiuxian again. The two seemed to have started a tug of war, and neither could do anything to the other for a while.
Linfeng didn't make a move on the side, waiting for an opportunity.
When Yun Tianqi's attack was very close to Dong Xiuxian, he released his Substitution soul skill, and Linfeng appeared in front of Dong Xiuxian.
"Substitution!"
Although Dong Xiuxian was already prepared, he was still very surprised.
God-rank soul skills were indeed very abnormal.
When used with teammates, this kind of soul skill could erupt with great power.
When Yun Tianqi appeared in front of Dong Xiuxian, a large amount of bubbles continuously appeared. Dong Xiuxian wanted to dodge, but Yun Tianqi was right beside him. Every time he tried to escape, he would be struck back by a blade.
Helpless, he could only release a defensive barrier. A blue barrier covered him, and at the same time, a spiritual energy cloak appeared on the surface of his body.
The bubbles covered both Linfeng and Dong Xiuxian and exploded.
Thunder and lightning wreaked havoc amidst the violent explosion. As a 9-star Demon Spiritualist, Dong Xiuxian had already released a defensive barrier. Naturally, it couldn't be destroyed by an explosion. However, at the center of the explosion, the surging shockwaves caused the barrier to ripple before it finally disappeared.
At this moment, Dong Xiuxian's body wasn't injured, but because of the shock, his head was a little dizzy.
He didn't notice that a strand of translucent white flame had already passed through his spiritual energy cloak and tainted his palm.
The sudden stinging pain in his mind made Dong Xiuxian's face change. His soul force trembled and became intermittent. Before he could react, a white specter suddenly appeared behind him and connected with his body, as if it came out from his body.
"Vengeful Spirit."
Dong Xiuxian's face changed again.
He never thought that Linfeng would have already devoured the Evil Ghost that he had just obtained. Furthermore, Linfeng had already successfully absorbed the soul skill.
This kind of cursed soul skill made people fearful.
The Vengeful Spirit's possession constantly weakened Dong Xiuxian's body and soul force. However, what made Bu Zheng truly fearful was that his body was rapidly swelling. His entire body was one size bigger, and a bone-piercing chill was condensing within his body. Under his skin, it was as if there was a bone-piercing cold object that wanted to pierce through his body and flesh.
Dong Xiuxian knew that he had been hit by a parasitic soul skill. The effect of this soul skill was obviously [Fat Thorn].
Relying on the advantage of his soul power, he could release soul skills and forcefully expel these Leech Pods from his body. However, at this moment, the Devil Flame was burning his soul. Because of the intense pain, his soul force trembled and was intermittent. The Vengeful Spirit's possession constantly weakened his various states, including his life force, soul power, and even his emotions.
At this moment, he could only suppress the Leech Pods, but he couldn't expel them from his body. The cold made his body stiff and he had already lost the ability to resist.
"Devil Flame, Vengeful Spirit, Fat Thorn."
Dong Xiuxian's face was a little pale as he looked at Linfeng in shock.
Three different types of soul skills: fire, curse, and water. Furthermore, they were all diamond soul skills. However, what really shocked him was this soul skill combination?
"Aren't you a little too sinister?" Dong Xiuxian endured the pain and asked in shock and helplessness at the same time.
At the moment of the explosion, the air billowed and the lightning wreaked havoc. He was in a state of dizziness and paralysis. At this moment, Linfeng released three soul skills at the same time. Even if he knew, it was difficult to resist.
"How can soul skills be classified as sinister?"
Linfeng stretched out his hand and touched Dong Xiuxian's body with his fingertips. The Devil Flame and Leech Pods disappeared one after another.
"That's true."
Dong Xiuxian smiled bitterly.
"I lost."
Dong Xiuxian shook his head and said. Although it was two against one, he accepted his loss wholeheartedly.
He looked at Linfeng and sighed.
He thought that Linfeng would be very bright in the future and even stronger than him. However, he didn't expect that in just two years, Linfeng had already defeated him.
Although it was two against one, Linfeng's soul skill combination made him exclaim in admiration and even fear.
They were all purple gold and diamond soul skills, and there were even two divine soul skills. With such a soul skill combination, even a Transcendent expert would feel inferior.
At this moment, because of his soul power, the power of these soul skills was limited. In a few years, even a Spirit King expert would have a headache when facing them.
Too sinister!
Dong Xiuxian sighed again and looked at the ground.
At this moment, Yunkai was still controlling his sword to chase after Bu Zheng. However, it was obvious that his soul power was insufficient and he couldn't hold on any longer.
Seeing Dong Xiuxian eliminated, Bu Zheng didn't have much of a reaction. He seemed to have guessed it.
When Yunkai's soul power was about to be overdrawn, he teleported and appeared in front of Ye Qiu.
"When facing an enemy, if close combat is dangerous and can exhaust his soul power, don't fight recklessly."
Bu Zheng said slowly. From his point of view, this match was more about explaining one's experience and not a battle.
Of course, he couldn't lose the battle!
It would be embarrassing if he lost.
When Bu Zheng appeared, Ye Qiu didn't approach him. Instead, he opened his mouth and spat out a black pillar of fire. This was his strongest attack, Hellfire Dragon Flame.
"A divine soul skill is very powerful, but the difference in strength between us is too great."
A blue ice crystal appeared in front of Bu Zheng. The Hellfire Dragon Flame instantly melted the ice crystal. The black flames dripped onto the ground and burned on the ice surface without extinguishing.
Before Ye Qiu's Hellfire Dragon Flame disappeared, a square blue ice crystal barrier suddenly appeared and surrounded him. It was so fast that he didn't have time to react.
Within the barrier, Ye Qiu frantically attacked the crystal barrier, but it was to no avail.
"Roar!"
Seeing Ye Qiu trapped, Ye Xing, who was like a small giant, let out a roar. His body expanded again and his eyes emitted a fierce red light. At this moment, he had entered the second berserk state.
The first berserk state increased his strength and speed by two times. The second berserk state increased his strength by four times.
Ye Xing took a step forward, and the air exploded as he charged towards Bu Zheng like a cannonball. Crystal walls appeared in front of Ye Xing and blocked his path, but they were constantly shattered.
"As expected of the Alliance's number one berserker!"
Bu Zheng's eyes revealed a trace of astonishment. Even he didn't want to face Ye Xing in this state.
And strength was Ye Xing's trademark.
When Lin Feng and Yun Tianqi appeared, Bu Zheng was already surrounded.
In a situation where he couldn't use his full strength, even Bu Zheng couldn't withstand it. Following a violent explosion, he faced Lin Feng's suicide explosion and three diamond-ranked auxiliary soul skills at the same time. He could only sigh and say, "Sinister enough."
At this moment, as long as Lin Feng's demon spirit rank and soul power increased, it would be enough even if he stopped absorbing soul skills. Even he couldn't withstand these three auxiliary soul skills.
After learning that Lin Feng also planned to absorb a poison-type soul skill, Bu Zheng was speechless. Even he couldn't help but sigh at the Arowana's direction of cultivation.
What kind of occupation was this?
An explosive poison master?
