Chapter 26 Parry?
(I'm posting this chapter earlier than planned because I have something to do tonight, and I can hardly believe it was automatically posted.)
The next morning, Qian Daoliu took Lin Huai to the Soul Beast Forest.
Select a slime that is over 7,000 years old.
They returned to the Spirit Hall that noon.
In the afternoon training session, Tian Yue became curious about Lin Huai's second soul skill.
Lin Huai looked puzzled; he hadn't expected his second soul skill to be this.
"Let's have a fight right away, and you can experience it for yourself."
Tian Yue immediately took a step back, her face full of suspicion.
"You want to beat me up?"
"How could that be? I only used my second soul skill, not any other skills."
Tianyue was eager to try it after hearing this.
He directly possessed his martial spirit and used his soul skill to rush over.
After Lin Huai's martial spirit possessed him, he stood still.
Just as Tian Yue threw a punch, his second spirit ring lit up instantly.
The prosthetic knife in Lin Huai's right hand traced a strange arc.
clang!
Tian Yue only felt a gentle push and was momentarily stunned.
Lin Huai then held the knife to her neck.
After Lin Huai let go, Tian Yue was somewhat bewildered.
"What just happened?"
"My second soul skill is called 'The Highest Good is Like Water.' It can deflect all physical attacks."
Tian Yue did indeed feel her fist being pushed away.
But it seems like it wasn't just being pushed away.
"No, it wasn't just being bounced back."
Qian Daoliu then took over the conversation.
"Yue'er is right. Xiao Huai's second soul skill, after deflecting a non-hand-release physical attack, will generate a trace of aura towards the attacker."
Even I would be momentarily stunned by this aura.
"Therefore, this soul skill can not only be regarded as a defensive skill, but also as a strong control skill."
Tianyue looked at Qian Daoliu and murmured:
"If even Grandpa Qian can be controlled, then isn't he invincible?"
Qian Daoliu patted Tian Yue's head.
"Not necessarily. As long as the opponent reacts faster than Xiao Huai, it's as if he's out of control."
"Furthermore, you can use off-hand attacks, close-range attacks with elemental properties."
"As long as Xiao Huai cannot withstand the splash of elements, he will not choose to use his second soul skill."
After pondering for a thousand years, Qian Gu Yi Chen spoke.
"While that's true in theory, it's very difficult to actually do it."
"The best way to deal with someone of the same class is still through elemental ranged attacks."
Berserker said helplessly:
"However, without strong control within the same social class, it's normal to miss small-time attackers!"
Qian Renxue, who was observing them from the side, also showed interest.
"So, in battles against opponents of the same or even higher levels, Little Bad is invincible?"
"Little rascal, shall we give it a try?"
Lin Huai was also somewhat surprised that his second soul skill would grant him the divine skill "parry".
After talking with Marlenia, he learned that his second soul skill was originally "Water Bird Dance".
However, she discovered that Lin Huai had a different understanding of the Flowing Water Sword Technique than she did, so she did not give him the sword technique that reflected her own understanding.
"Okay, but I need to use my Martial Soul!"
Qian Daoliu also wanted to see his granddaughter's fighting ability, so he looked at Lin Huai.
"Sure, but only your martial spirit can participate. You can just watch from below."
Lin Huai summoned Marlenia, and then stood next to Tian Yue.
Marlenia pointed her knife to the lower right and assumed a fighting stance.
Qian Renxue also directly possessed her martial soul, and her fourth and first soul rings lit up in succession.
"Holy Light Amplification!"
"Angel Assault!"
After she used her fourth soul skill to enhance herself, a golden shield appeared on her right fist.
Using the acceleration provided by the Angel Assault, they rushed directly towards Marlene.
Qian Daoliu wanted to cover his eyes with his hands, forgetting to tell Xiaoxue that this martial spirit's combat awareness was terrifyingly strong.
Just as Qian Renxue's golden shield was about to strike Marlenia.
clang!
The situation was exactly the same as before.
However, Tianyue was replaced by Qianrenxue.
Lin Huai was replaced by Marlene.
Qian Renxue raised an eyebrow slightly, and hesitated for a moment before saying:
"Isn't this Xiao Huai's soul skill? Even if she can use it, Xiao Huai hasn't even released her soul rings yet!"
Lin Huai clenched his fist and put it to his mouth.
"Ahem—"
"Let me explain, my soul skill comes from Malenia."
"So, she knows everything I know, and she also knows things I don't know, all she needs to do is consume my soul power."
Qian Renxue looked at the tall, beautiful woman holding a knife, then at the mutated eight-winged radiant angel behind her.
For a moment, it was difficult to tell which one had a divine-level martial soul.
He whispered to himself.
"This martial soul is outrageous!"
Lin Huai smiled slightly, wanting Qian Renxue to try the Waterbird Dance.
"Sister Xiaoxue, would you like to try again?"
Qian Renxue snapped out of her daze and glared fiercely at Lin Huai.
"Come on, this time I'm prepared."
Qian Renxue's second, fourth, and fifth soul skills all lit up.
At this moment, an angelic holy sword projection appeared in her hand, and a golden protective shield surrounded her.
Marlenia hopped on one leg like a waterbird and appeared in front of Qian Renxue in a flash.
Then unleash four consecutive high-speed slashes.
Qian Renxue's protective shield shattered after being hit the first time. She only managed to block one of the next three attacks with her fifth soul skill, Angelic Holy Sword, while the other two struck her body.
Of course, Lin Huai had given instructions, so he only made a shallow cut.
Taking advantage of the gap after the four strikes, Qian Renxue hurriedly used Angel Assault to break out of Marlene's attack range.
Marlenia lunged forward again, closing in on Qian Renxue before delivering two more blows.
It struck her directly in the back.
Before Qian Renxue could even wonder why Marlenia could suddenly rush to her side when she clearly had more moves up her sleeve.
The third attack of the Water Bird Frenzy was launched again.
Qian Daoliu shook his head. It seemed he had to send Xiaoxue to Sun Moon Palace to train her combat reflexes.
A black spirit ring lit up immediately, and a shield of holy light blocked Qian Renxue from behind.
The third attack, consisting of three strikes and a blade of energy, all landed on the shield.
Lin Huai could barely suppress the urge to smile.
"Yes! That's it."
A waterbird that doesn't frantically dodge has no soul!
Qian Daoliu looked at Lin Huai, gesturing for him to take out the medicine Yue Guan had given him.
Lin Huai hurriedly retrieved Marlenia and took out a glass bottle.
He ran to Qian Renxue's side.
Pour the milky white liquid onto her wound.
Looking at Qian Renxue's tattered clothes and the beautiful scene covered in milky white liquid, he was struck by the sight.
Lin Huai was somewhat stunned.
They look so alike!
However, as expected of the medicine specially prepared by Yue Guan, the medicine turned transparent after a short while, and Qian Renxue's wound was reduced to a small opening.
"Don't worry, Sister Xiaoxue, there definitely won't be any trace of it tomorrow."
Qian Renxue did not respond and stood there stunned.
Qian Daoliu said to Lin Huai and the others:
"You can spend the rest of your time looking around. Consider it a half-day rest, and continue your training tomorrow."
Then he rolled up Qian Renxue and left.
Lin Huai's mind was still filled with Qian Renxue's stunned expression.
It seems that Qian Daoliu still needs to provide psychological counseling to Qian Renxue.
"Let's go, I haven't had a proper look around Wuhun City yet."
The group left the training ground.
Tian Yue asked:
"Little rascal, what skill did Marleneia just use?"
"Water birds are flying everywhere!"
