Chapter 23: Shadow Strangulation (1)
🕑 Added 2025-04-21 18:07:33 +0000 UTCAfter the soul power was injected into the crystal ball, the light emitted by the crystal ball became stronger and stronger, and the light-enhancing effect in the room became even greater, making the entire room turn white, as if being in a world of light.
Continuing to inject soul power into the crystal ball, Lu Buliang felt a sense of energy loss. It seems that the auxiliary cultivation of this crystal ball is achieved by absorbing soul power.
This is not a bad thing. Lu Buliang can practice mimesis while improving his control over his soul power. The longer he can practice with the assistance of the crystal ball, the better his control ability will be and the more precise his control over his soul power will be.
Under the extremely fierce sunlight, everything in the room seemed to have turned into a sea of light. The silver walls turned white, and the transparent ceiling also turned white, stretching as far as the eye could see.
There was only Lu Buliang’s figure sitting cross-legged on the ground, with his shadow reflected on the ground. The shadow was darker than ever before, which was enough to show that the shadow martial spirit was in an extremely active state.
And Lu Buliang was also practicing at a speed several times faster. His soul power and martial soul were constantly growing with the help of the strong light.
When there was no simulated environment for training, the speed at which Lu Buliang’s soul power increased was as slow as drops of water dripping into an empty water tank.
With this light-filled room to assist his training, the speed at which his soul power increased was like pouring water into an empty water tank one scoop at a time.
Now, in a room full of light and with the help of this crystal ball to assist in his training, his soul power increased as fast as the continuous supply of water into a water tank. With this speed of training, it is still possible to increase his soul power by two or three levels within half a year.
Two hours later.
Lu Buliang put the crystal ball in his hand on the ground. He had very little soul power left and could no longer inject soul power into the crystal ball.
The endless white In the room gradually disappeared, gradually revealing the silver walls and transparent ceiling. Everything in the room returned to its original state, and the auxiliary effect on cultivation was greatly weakened.
Lu Buliang closed his eyes and continued to meditate. Although he did not have the help of the crystal ball, the light in the room was still enough to serve as a mimesis for his practice.
During meditation, he concentrated on sensing the light around him, while also regulating his breathing, trying to quickly recover the soul power he had just consumed.
Another hour later.
Lu Buliang’s soul power recovered one fifth. He stopped meditating and stood up. He couldn’t help but feel secretly happy. When injecting soul power into the crystal ball and the process of recovering soul power just now, he became more proficient in controlling soul power and also realized a new trick.
The three soul rings under his feet lit up, and Lu Buliang locked onto the shadow of the stone in the corner of the room, then used his third soul skill, Shadow Control, on the shadow of the stone.
He did not freeze the shadow of the stone, but controlled the changes in soul power when injecting soul power into the third soul ring, thereby changing the control effect of the third soul skill, shadow control.
Under Lu Buliang’s control, the shadow of the stone suddenly rose from the ground and tightly wrapped around the stone in an instant.
“Success!” Lu Buliang was overjoyed. If the shadow was wrapped around the neck of a soul master, then killing the other person would be a matter of a thought, right?
Using the opponent’s shadow to strangle the opponent is called: shadow control strangulation.
Like Shadow Immobilization and Shadow Exchange, Shadow Control Strangulation is a soul skill created based on the third soul skill.
A soul master must Inject soul power into a soul ring before he can release the soul skills attached to that soul ring. Based on this rule, Lu Buliang realized the idea of creating his own soul skills, which is to accurately control the changes in soul power during the process of injecting soul power into the soul ring. In this way, the soul skills released by the soul ring can be changed.
In order to control the shadow on the ground to leave the ground and entangle its owner, it requires very precise soul power control to allow the soul ring skill to produce such a mutation effect.
Furthermore, the first three spirit rings were given by the system. The potential of the spirit rings was no different from that of the God-given spirit rings. They all produced the spirit skill effects that were most suitable for the absorbers. That was why they had such high potential, greatly increasing the possibility of creating one’s own spirit skills.
Lu Buliang was more excited than ever before, because he had comprehended the “third soul skill, shadow control and strangulation”, which proved that he had mastered the control of soul power to perfection. Now controlling the shadow was as easy as controlling any part of the body.
“Tomorrow morning, I will have a combat with Dugu Yan in the practical class. I will use her to test the combat effect of Shadow Control Strangulation.”
The next day.
Morning.
Heaven Dou Royal Academy, playground.
The college bell rang and the theory class ended.
The students left the classroom and gathered on the playground. They were about to take a practical instruction class.
Yesterday, Lü Buliang and Dugu Yan fought a duel in which Dugu Yan was defeated miserably. Dugu Yan refused to admit defeat, so the two of them agreed to fight another duel today.
On the fighting spirit stage.
Lu Buliang and Dugu Yan were facing each other. Dugu Yan’s eyes were full of fighting spirit, but Lu Buliang was not getting enough sleep because he stayed up all night to practice with the crystal ball given by Xue Qinghe last night. His mental and physical condition was not very good, so his temper was naturally a little bad.
Dugu Yan stared at Lu Buliang fiercely, “You are dead today!”
“Come on, you said the same thing yesterday, and what happened?” Lu Buliang rubbed his eyes after staying up all night, muttering to himself, “Not to mention that I beat you up, you still refuse to admit defeat. I told you to shut up after I said a few words to you. You have such a big chest, but a small mind.”
“Shut up!” Dugu Yan couldn’t stand this sudden insult and stamped her feet in anger, “Lü Buliang, I didn’t use my full strength yesterday because I was afraid of poisoning you to death. I won’t show mercy today!”
“Oh, right.” Lu Buliang suddenly perked up and reminded him, “We agreed yesterday that if you lose again, you have to admit defeat. Also, you promised me that if you lose, you would find a treasure I want from your grandfather and give it to me.”
“Stop talking nonsense and get started.” After saying that, Dugu Yan had already been possessed by the martial spirit. His feet turned into snake tails, and three spirit rings were rhythmically moving on his body. The spirit power aura instantly dyed the surroundings dark green.
“Why, you’re not placing those stones on the fighting spirit arena today?” Dugu Yan then noticed that the fighting spirit arena was very clean, not littered with stones like yesterday.
Lü Buliang smiled faintly, “Because I found that dealing with you doesn’t need to be that troublesome. There is only a level of soul power difference between us, and your green phosphorus snake venom cannot kill me instantly. And I want to control you in a matter of seconds. When I was practicing yesterday afternoon, I just realized a new skill, a skill that can end the battle in an instant. If you don't believe me, you can try it. Within thirty seconds, we can decide the winner.”
