"You lose."
Hearing these words, Yu Tianheng finally understood how Dugu Yan felt when she was defeated by Lü Buliang. He was unwilling to accept defeat, with a heavy heart in his chest. All kinds of emotions impacted his brain and body, making him feel hot all over and his thoughts confused.
But that's all.
Yu Tianheng is a man who refuses to admit defeat, but he can understand the situation. He only has one third of his soul power left, and the power of lightning is no longer enough to harm Lu Buliang and Dugu Yan, and he can no longer protect Ye Lingling.
In this situation, we are indeed a loser.
Just as Yu Tianheng was about to admit defeat, a pleasant voice rang out on the fighting stage, "Tianheng, we haven't lost yet!"
Lu Buliang and Dugu Yan looked towards the voice and saw that it was Ye Lingling who was speaking.
At this moment, Ye Lingling touched the Nine-Hearted Begonia Martial Spirit with both hands, and the ground under her feet was still covered with the electric field released by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. In Ye Lingling's eyes, Lu Buliang saw Dugu Yan's unyielding obsession at that time. He didn't expect that Ye Lingling, who didn't even have any fighting power, was also a person who would not admit defeat easily.
"Lingling. Admit defeat." Dugu Yan put his hands on his waist and said with a smile: "Losing is losing, what does that mean? You have to practice more! Right, Lu Buliang?"
Lu Buliang hummed in surprise.
Normally, Ye Lingling's face and eyes would not show any emotion, but now there was a passion and determination in her eyes that she had never seen before. Didn't people without fighting ability deserve to have a desire for victory?
Could it be that auxiliary spirit masters could not compare themselves with others and be competitive?
Ye Lingling refused to admit defeat, not because she was unwilling to accept failure, but because she wanted to prove that she was no worse than Lu Buliang in terms of supporting.
Yu Tianheng is the strongest in the entire team. If her supporting ability is as outstanding as everyone says, then Yu Tianheng should be even more powerful and invincible with her assistance.
But why did they lose so badly?
Not only did she fail to help Yu Tianheng, but she was distracted from protecting herself, becoming a drag on him.
Ye Lingling had never thought about proving herself before. Perhaps it was because Lu Buliang joined the team as an auxiliary soul master that made her feel all kinds of complicated emotions. Being competitive is a common problem for every soul master.
Ye Lingling originally thought that she had no desires or requests, and only wanted to treat her companions when they were injured and encourage them when they were confused.
But only now did she realize that she was not a saint. She would also fall into confusion, doubt herself, and want to prove that she deserves the title of genius.
"Tianheng, we still have soul power, we haven't lost. What's there to be afraid of with a little setback?" Ye Lingling's voice was very calm, but it gave people an extremely firm feeling, "As long as we don't admit defeat, we have a chance to win!"
After saying that, the Nine-Hearted Begonia in her hand blossomed, and brilliant colorful light flashed among the unfolding petals. Three soul rings were spinning under his feet, and the aura of soul power and the fragrance of flowers lingered around Ye Lingling's body. The Nine-Hearted Begonia martial soul that blossomed with colorful light and fragrance slowly rose into the sky.
The purple soul ring spun faster, and countless petals fell on Yu Tianheng, completely healing his slightly bruised face and restoring his physical strength to its best condition.
Even the auxiliary spirit master didn't admit defeat, so how could the offensive spirit masters as a team admit defeat to the enemy?
Yu Tianheng clenched his fists. After receiving Ye Lingling's encouragement and treatment, the fighting spirit in his eyes and the lost physical strength returned. "Lingling, you are right. As long as we don't admit defeat, we still have a chance to win!"
The lightning wrapped around his body flashed violently again. Yu Tianheng put all his strength into using his third soul skill, Thunderous Fury, and used up all his remaining soul power. As a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon soul master, he would never admit defeat even if he died in battle.
"Come again!" With a loud roar, Yu Tianheng rushed towards Lu Buliang and Dugu Yan.
But at the moment when Yu Tianheng took a step forward, Lu Buliang emerged silently from Ye Lingling's shadow, kicked her in the face, and kicked her directly out of the fighting arena and slammed her to the ground.
Everything happened so suddenly. It was not until Ye Lingling sat down on the ground that Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng realized that Ye Lingling had fallen off the fighting arena and lost the qualification to fight.
The one who reacted the most was Yu Tianheng. Ye Lingling was in the electric field he released, and Lu Buliang appeared in the range of the electric field. How could he not be paralyzed by the strong current?
A closer look revealed that the electric field had long ceased to exist.
Yu Tianheng suddenly realized that he had just released all his soul power to perform his third soul skill, Thunderous Fury, which resulted in a shortage of soul power and inability to maintain the electric field to protect Ye Lingling. That was why Lu Buliang took advantage of the opportunity and kicked Ye Lingling out of the fighting arena.
"Lingling!" Duguyan jumped off the stage and helped Ye Lingling up, "Are you okay?"
Ye Lingling helped Dugu Yan stand up. After a moment of hesitation, she realized that she was already outside the fighting arena and was kicked off the stage by Lu Buliang.
Lost. Ye Lingling felt guilty. Yu Tianheng was the most outstanding young spirit master in the academy. He had never lost in a battle of the same level. But in today's practical class of two-person spirit fighting, he was defeated because of her assistance.
Even she, an auxiliary spirit master, was unwilling to accept this fact, let alone the pride of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Watching Lü Buliang standing at the edge of the fighting arena, Ye Lingling wanted to save Yu Tianheng from his defeat. "How about we play another round of fighting arena?"
"The class is over." Lu Buliang looked back at Ye Lingling and said, "Let's end today's fighting spirit competition here."
As soon as the voice fell, the academy bell rang.
The practical class is over.
Now is the time for lunch and rest.
After dinner, the students returned to their dormitories to rest.
On the way to the dormitory, Dugu Yan found that Ye Lingling was silent and seemed to be in a very low mood. Although this was Ye Lingling's normal state, Dugu Yan clearly felt something was different this time, perhaps because of the defeat in the morning.
While reviewing the double fighting spirit in the practical class in the morning, Dugu Yan was very happy. She didn't expect that with Lu Buliang's assistance, she actually won against the combination of Yu Tianheng and Ye Lingling.
At the same time, she was also very distressed, because both Yu Tianheng and Ye Lingling, like herself, were hailed as one of the most outstanding talents in the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and they had almost never failed among the fighting spirits of the same level.
But since Lu Buliang joined the academy, everyone suffered their first defeat.
Dugu Yan felt frustrated when he lost to Lu Buliang. I'm sure Ye Lingling must have felt frustrated after losing this time. What's more, with her assistance, Yu Tianheng, the strongest member of the team, would be defeated. The blow must have been even greater.
"Lingling, you really worked hard in the double spirit battle this morning." Dugu Yan tried to comfort Ye Lingling.
But to Ye Lingling, this sentence not only failed to comfort her, but made her feel even more guilty. "Yes, I tried so hard, but I still lost. Moreover, Yu Tianheng, who had never lost a game, also lost to you because of my support. I feel very sorry for him."
Dugu Yan said, "In fact, it was a bit of luck that Lü Buliang and I were able to beat you and Tiangeng. Lü Buliang said that his shadow martial spirit is closely related to the intensity of light. The stronger the light, the stronger the shadow. It was close to noon, when the sunlight was the strongest, so he performed so well. If we fought at night, Lü Buliang and I would definitely not be able to beat you and Tian Heng."
"Yanyan, thank you for your comfort." Ye Lingling walked to the door of her dormitory, opened the door, and smiled faintly: "Don't worry, I'm fine."
After saying that, she walked into the dormitory.
After watching Ye Lingling close the door, Dugu Yan returned to her dormitory. She knew that she could only curse people, unlike Lü Buliang who could comfort and encourage others.
Dugu Yan thought that she had felt frustrated after losing twice in a row, and it was Lu Buliang's psychological counseling that helped her get through that failure.
Perhaps, if Ye Lingling wants to completely eliminate the confusion in her heart and cheer up again, it will also require the help of Lu Buliang, who is full of moral principles.
"————————"
Late at night.
Men's dormitory, rooftop.
After a day of practice, at this time, the students are all sleeping in their respective dormitories.
Lu Buliang left the dormitory and came to the top of the building, where he sat cross-legged and held the crystal ball in both hands. As his soul power was injected into the crystal ball, a light blue soul power aura emanated from his body and lingered around him.
Under the effect of the crystal ball, the intensity of the moonlight shining on Lu Buliang is comparable to the sunlight at noon. The enhanced moonlight is not as strong as the sunlight, but it has a considerable auxiliary effect on the cultivation of shadow martial spirit. In addition, there are mountains and forests near the dormitory, and the shadows of various plants and buildings are reflected on the ground.
Such an environment can fully bring into play the cultivation effect of the mimicry field.
Ever since he discovered that the light-filled room belonged to Qian Renxue, Lu Buliang never set foot in that room again.
Every afternoon, the mimesis training is conducted in the grass mimesis field near the Dean's Building. With the help of the crystal ball, the training effect is also quite good.
However, Lu Buliang still couldn't forget the room full of light. It was like getting used to watching a TV series at twice the speed and then suddenly switching back to normal mode, and feeling that everything had slowed down.
Although with the help of the mimesis training field and the crystal ball, Lu Buliang's training speed is much faster than that of ordinary people, but he still feels that the speed of his soul power improvement is too slow. Perhaps it is because the light energy is not strong enough, and the shadow martial soul no longer seems to have any obvious changes.
Now, Lu Buliang practices with the help of moonlight every night, which makes him feel more at ease.
Or maybe, it's time to go to Sunset Forest and see if I can get the magic grass.
The original book said that with the help of magical herbs, the soul master's training speed would increase.
These days, I have learned a lot of information about the green phosphorus snake venom from Dugu Yan, and also obtained two anti-venom pills that can allow the body to temporarily gain resistance to the green phosphorus snake venom.
With the displacement ability of the shadow martial soul, a certain understanding of poison, and the protection of anti-poison pills, it is no problem for him to pass through the poison array set up by Dugu Bo in the Sunset Forest.
The threat from the soul beasts in the Sunset Forest can also be ignored. After all, the forest is full of shadows. Except for soul beasts that also possess shadow abilities, no other soul beast can easily pose a threat to Lu Buliang in a place with many shadows.
What is needed now is a living soul storage device that can store the immortal grass.
