Douluo Peerless: Eye of Truth

Chapter 8: Victory in the First Battle

As an auxiliary spirit master, Zhao Haochen naturally stood at the end. He shouted, "Come here, my big chicken leg."

Then a circle of yellow soul ring rippled up from under his feet, and then two yellow lights flashed in his hands, forming two large braised chicken legs.

He quickly passed the chicken leg to Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao. Although he was arrogant, he was facing a senior with four-ring strength after all. Wang Dong did not dare to be careless. He took the braised chicken leg and bit into it directly.

At the same time, her martial spirit, the Goddess of Light Butterfly, also possessed her body, and beautiful, gorgeous blue-purple butterfly wings with golden patterns grew behind her.

As Wang Dong ate the braised chicken drumsticks, he felt his body suddenly become lighter.

Huo Yuhao paid special attention to the soul skills of this food-type soul master, and took a bite after taking it. The careful feeling combined with the insight of the Eye of Truth allowed him to discover the secret.

'The arrangement and combination of the soul power of this soul skill is very similar to the arrangement structure of amplification soul skills such as Thunder Fury, but it is more condensed and stable.'

'Moreover, the nature of the soul power is more gentle, so it can be absorbed by others. However, this also wastes most of the energy of this soul skill, making its effect less effective than the amplification soul skills of the same level.'

"I have not seen the soul skills of auxiliary soul masters yet. I can compare them later. Let's deal with the battle in front of us first."

Wang Dong rushed forward first, and at the same time, her soul rings rose up under her feet, one yellow and one purple. The second purple soul ring was particularly eye-catching.

At the same time, accompanied by the shining of the yellow soul ring, in Huo Yuhao's true eye, the soul power in Wang Dong's body quickly flowed into a pair of front wings, forming golden runes.

And those soul powers combined with these runes attracted spots of light from the outside world to gather on the front wings.

Then, golden light patterns were seen scattering from the originally azure blue edges of its front wings. These patterns then quickly expanded outwards, forming a circle of golden light blades about three inches long on the edges of the front wings.

Its hind wings spread out with all its might to control the direction of the body's impact, and its front wings gathered together to quickly rush towards the senior.

The senior student did not move when he saw this. Instead, golden scales quickly formed and covered his entire body, like a layer of armor covering the entire body. Except for the eyes, mouth and nose, not even an inch of skin was exposed after the martial spirit possessed him.

Yellow, purple and purple, four best-matched spirit rings appeared on this senior, and his first two yellow hundred-year spirit rings lit up respectively.

In Huo Yuhao's eyes, he saw the senior's soul power running rapidly along specific meridians and flowing through his body, and then formed two layers of protection, one layer attached to the golden scales, and the other layer covered the membrane under the scales.

"The first soul skill is golden armor. The second soul skill is golden body." The senior student spoke slowly.

He did not show any special means. He just pushed forward with both hands and relied on his strength which far exceeded that of his opponent to easily take on Wang Dong's attack.

"The attack power is good, and the soul ring combination is also excellent."

In addition to his previous observations, Huo Yuhao did not do nothing. In the blind spot of everyone present, only the senior who was recording and preventing danger on the sidelines saw this scene.

Four bone-piercing nails and four locust stones drew arcs at four tricky angles and flew towards the senior who had activated the defensive soul skill.

Because of the blind spot in his vision, he did not notice the situation, let alone defend himself.

'Ding, ding, ding, ding.'

'Ding, ding, ding, ding.'

First, four bone-piercing nails hit him. Although they had the effect of restraining defensive armor, what Huo Yuhao shot at and hit were all the gaps in the armor at the joints where the senior's defense was the weakest.

However, the gap in strength between the two sides was too big. In addition, although hidden weapons could be used, Huo Yuhao would naturally not use those that were too extreme, such as the Dragon Beard Needle, otherwise it would be embarrassing for everyone.

But then four locust stones followed closely and hit the four bone-piercing nails that had hit the opponent but failed to break the defense and were still stuck on the opponent's body surface.

With the injection of the second part of power, the bone-piercing nail finally penetrated through the gap between the scales, successfully breaking the opponent's skin and penetrating into the body.

But it didn't go very deep, and at most it was just a superficial injury.

"Great! No wonder your spirit power is not high. Are you a special recruit of Tang Sect? This method is even stronger than that of Beibei."

The senior student in charge of the assessment showed a rare bit of importance in his eyes.

After all, no matter whether it was because he underestimated the enemy or not, a mistake was a mistake. Because of his misjudgment, Huo Yuhao's attack was effective. Although the injury was minor, the fact that his defense was broken meant that the opponent could take the opportunity to poison him.

After all, although the Tang Sect has declined, Tang Ya and Bei Bei are still famous figures in Shrek Academy, and most of the students in Shrek Academy also understand what the Tang Sect's unique skills are.

"We have embarrassed ourselves this time. We need to be serious. Little ones, be careful!" The senior shouted, and then a golden light flashed all over his body.

At the same time, Wang Dong, who was originally held down by his hands, and the bone-piercing nails that pierced into the scales were also repelled and flew out by the power of the golden light.

The opponent's third soul ring lit up, and large pieces of scales on his body shot out, leaving only a bare body wrapped in golden skin, which looked a bit funny.

However, these scales that shot out also turned into tiny spots of light under the influence of the opponent's soul skills, forming a human-shaped phantom that was three meters tall outside his body.

"This is my third soul skill, the Golden Scale True Body. Although it is not as good as the real martial soul true body, it is still considered a powerful soul skill among the three rings."

"I was careless before and that's why I gave you an opportunity to take advantage of me. But now I'm on full defense!"

Then the examiner named He Hengan rushed directly towards Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao.

As for Zhao Haochen in the back, he is a food-type soul master with only one ring, so he is naturally useless now.

Seeing this situation, he was a little panicked and didn't know what to do.

Seeing the examiner shrouded in a huge golden shadow rushing towards her, even Wang Dong became a little panicked. After all, she had never really fought with anyone.

In the past in Haotian Castle, it was more like a test of skills than a fight. After all, whether it was the strong men of Haotian Sect or her eldest and second fathers, they were all thick-skinned and tough.

It was impossible for him to fight back against her, the little princess of Haotian Sect. She had never experienced facing a high-level strong man, and she didn't know whether to fight or retreat.

“What are you still standing there for? Use your second soul skill to hit him in the face and create an opportunity for me. If your second soul skill is not a strong attack, then use your first soul skill. Or do you have a trick up your sleeve?” Huo Yuhao’s calm voice sounded in Wang Dong’s ears.  

Subconsciously, for some reason, Wang Dong felt like he had grabbed a life-saving straw when he heard Huo Yuhao's words, and activated his second soul skill, the Light of the Butterfly God, under his command.

Of course, Wang Dong is not yet able to master this soul skill proficiently. After all, it is a thousand-year soul ring and it consumes a lot f energy.

But this was not a real life-and-death battle. In addition to Wang Dong, the examiner on the opposite side also reacted to Huo Yuhao's words.

He deliberately slowed down his pace to give Wang Donger enough time to prepare her soul skills.

After all, whether it is the degree of control over soul skills or the power of soul skills, these are also the points that they as examiners need to assess.

With his cultivation and martial soul configuration, nothing would happen even if he was hit by a thousand-year soul skill of a great soul master.

Just as the purple soul ring under Wang Dong's feet shone brightly, the golden light patterns on the wings of the Goddess of Light Butterfly seemed to be lit up.

Like little suns, it madly gathered the light elements in the surrounding environment, and then these light elements were condensed on its front wings.

Wang Dong has experienced a lot of combat sparring since he was a child, and his control over martial spirits and spirit skills is far beyond what ordinary people can compare to.

When the examiner gave enough time, in addition to the most basic light of the Butterfly God, the yellow soul ring under his feet also lit up.

It is her first soul skill, the Winged Guillotine.

The original Butterfly God's Light was a dispersed attack launched after a large amount of light elements were gathered. Due to the nature of its soul skill, even the user Wang Dong found it difficult to control it.

However, her first soul skill, Winged Guillotine, is a soul skill that condenses and compresses light elements to form light blades for attack.

As a large amount of light elements gathered by the Butterfly God's light were gradually compressed, Wang Dong's wings turned completely into brilliant golden color and rose up.

Then, a huge crescent-shaped golden blade of light formed and slashed straight towards the examiner opposite.

At this time, Wang Dong's soul power had been exhausted. It was too difficult for her, who had just become a great soul master, to activate the thousand-year soul skill or to combine the two soul skills.

It was already very difficult to cut it in the approximate direction. Seeing this scene, the examiner also looked solemn.

The fourth purple soul ring under his feet also began to shine. The three-meter-tall golden shadow that originally enveloped his body quickly compressed and turned into a human figure about two meters in size.

At the same time, the golden light all over its body now reflected a metallic luster, no longer illusory, but solid.

This was his fourth soul skill, the Indestructible Golden Body. Due to the combination of the enhancements from the previous three soul skills, the defensive power of his fourth soul skill was even comparable to that of a ten thousand year soul ring. This was also his most proud method of defense.

However, there is an essential difference between the soul skill linkage amplification and the soul skill fusion.

If the amplification of soul skill linkage is additive, then the fusion between soul skills is an exponential increase.

Even though Wang Dong's strength was only at the level of a great soul master, the fusion of her first two soul skills was also extremely terrifying. Although under normal circumstances, if the other party did not give her a chance, she would definitely not have time to make adjustments for the fusion.

As the light faded, the examiner who specialized in defense naturally withstood this wave of attacks, but his originally materialized golden body became much more illusory, especially where it was facing the attack of the light blade, a small crack appeared.

"Hiss, okay, that's it, passed, all passed."

"Old He, what are you doing? The incense stick of time hasn't even arrived yet." The examiner in charge of recording on the sidelines said with some confusion.

"Is there any need for this test?" As the materialized golden body disintegrated, the examiner in charge of the test appeared in front of everyone.

His clothes were intact, but what was somewhat funny was that two flying needles pierced straight into his left and right nostrils. Although they were only superficial injuries, they were still somewhat funny.

And he was still injured even when he was firing at full speed, so there is nothing to say.

"Okay, ahem, let me announce the test results." The examiner pulled out the two flying needles and said as if nothing had happened.

"Wang Dong, excellent strength, excellent combat skills, good combat thinking, and passing practical experience. Overall evaluation: able to listen to others' advice and act decisively, passed the fourth level."

"Huo Yuhao, relatively weak strength, excellent combat skills, excellent combat thinking, and excellent practical experience. Overall evaluation: excellent insight, possesses leadership qualities, and has passed the fourth level."

"Zhao Haochen, passed the test for strength, good combat skills, passed the test for combat thinking, and passed the test for practical experience. Overall evaluation: skilled in the use of soul skills, but lacks a sense of teamwork, passed the fourth level."

"Do you have any other questions?" the examiner asked after glancing at the three of them.

At this moment, Wang Dong's soul power consumption could be said to be the greatest. His face was a little pale. Hearing the evaluation of himself, he bit his lips tightly and didn't say much.

And because the battle ended quickly and he only used his soul skill once, the fat boy Zhao Haochen was in good condition. He was very happy because he passed the test.

Huo Yuhao's face was a little pale at this time. It was not because of the depletion of his soul power. It was just that he had either discovered the weak points in the examiner's defense or was looking for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack the moment the light blade broke through the second golden body.

This was a considerable loss to his mental power. After all, his soul power was replenished by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm through constant cultivation, but his mental power was not replenished by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

"Okay, since there are no problems, leave first and don't affect others."

Another examiner also stepped forward. This examiner who was in charge of recording was actually a five-ring auxiliary soul master who specialized in healing. With his treatment, everyone's injuries and losses, which were not serious to begin with, recovered quickly.

Huo Yuhao walked straight towards the freshman teaching building, and the little fat boy disappeared. He must have gone to look for his friends, but Wang Dong also followed him at this time.

"Hey, are you from the Tang Sect?" Wang Dong's crisp voice sounded behind Huo Yuhao.

“First of all, my name is not Hello. My name is Huo Yuhao. Secondly, what does this have to do with you?”

Huo Yuhao replied coldly, thinking helplessly in his heart, "What a trouble! It turns out that he was cursed. He followed me as soon as he heard the key words."
