Chapter 101: Earth Dragon Thorn, Earth River Chariot!
Tuoba Shengjie: Do you only have one type of elemental force?
What Hu Bai didn't know was that Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong had discussed it. With Hu Bai's current talent, having only Ling Yuan protect him was no longer enough.
After all, no matter how strong Ling Yuan was, she was just an ordinary ninety-fourth-level Titled Douluo. If she encountered a Titled Douluo like Tang Hao or Chen Xin, she wouldn't stand a chance.
Although they planned to use Hu Bai as bait, that was merely a convenient measure—not an intention to truly put his life in danger.
Moreover, Qian Renxue would also join this training expedition, along with Xie Yue and Hu Liena. These four were already the strongest of Spirit Hall's new generation.
They had to be fully prepared. Otherwise, what if they were all wiped out?
Both Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong would go mad!
Therefore, when Hu Bai and the other three were about to go out for training, the number of Titled Douluo secretly protecting them would increase from one to three: Ling Yuan, Yue Guan, and Gui Mei.
Yue Guan and Gui Mei possess a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and now both are ninety-sixth level. The Dark Eclipse Domain they unleash can, under normal circumstances, completely immobilize a ninety-seventh-level Super Douluo.
Even a ninety-eighth-level Super Douluo could be successfully restrained if attacked by surprise.
Privately, Yue Guan and Gui Mei had already tested this on Elder Qingluan and Elder Golden Crocodile, and the effect was quite good.
With their soul power exhausted, they could control Qingluan for a few minutes and Golden Crocodile for a few seconds.
And that short window would be enough for Ling Yuan to unleash her strongest attack!
Hu Bai: How am I worthy?
Hu Bai didn't know that Spirit Hall was making such a heavy investment in him.
Anyway, the Supreme Pontiff and the Elder are now reconciled, so Bibi Dong had the right to mobilize all the elders in the Elder Palace. Naturally, there were enough personnel.
Therefore, the departure of Yue Guan and Gui Mei wouldn't cause any administrative problems.
Zhou Tai squinted his eyes, observing the soul ring configuration on Hu Bai. Even he couldn't see anything unusual—was it really just a white ten-year soul ring?
It shouldn't be!
Then, they heard Hu Bai say he was an Elementalist.
Interesting!
A Fox Martial Soul, yet he can also control elements?
Tuoba Shengjie was very interested: "Since that's the case, let me see how strong your Elementalist is!"
The next moment, his soul rings appeared on his body. He lifted his right foot and stomped down directly, with waves spreading rapidly from him as the center.
This was his second Soul Skill, Trembling Earth Stomp: Fissure Wave!
Stomping the ground to release three fan-shaped shockwaves, reaching up to twenty meters, capable of knocking back and stunning enemies.
After unleashing this Soul Skill, Tuoba Shengjie didn't hesitate—immediately using his third Soul Skill, directly locking onto Hu Bai. Dragon horns appeared on his head as he charged forward at an extremely fast speed.
Third Soul Skill, Dragon Charge: Mountain Collapse Crash!
Under normal circumstances, unless one possesses a flying Soul Skill, it's difficult to avoid his second Soul Skill. While his third Soul Skill is powerful, its trajectory is too straightforward, making it a perfect combination with the second.
"Earth elemental force, huh… Coincidentally, I can also use it."
Hu Bai stood still, seemingly without any movement, yet waves appeared beneath his feet, moving to counteract the waves unleashed by Tuoba Shengjie.
Looking at Tuoba Shengjie's charging figure, a white light flashed in Hu Bai's eyes. Unexpectedly, Tuoba Shengjie crashed off course.
Hu Bai smiled slyly, like a mischievous little fox: "My apologies. I just felt like trying out my newly acquired mental Soul Skill, and it worked quite well."
Tuoba Shengjie: ???
Mental Soul Skill?
Where is it?
Also, why did he just crash off course?
What Hu Bai had just used was Spiritual Interference, one of the four soul skills granted to him by Tianmeng Iceworm.
This Soul Skill might seem ordinary, but it is actually divine. As long as one's mental power is strong enough—and with a little soul power consumption—the opponent's attacks can't hit him.
Cannot be targeted!
When he saw Tuoba Shengjie charging forward like that, he had the idea to use it. It turned out to be… not bad!
"What mental Soul Skill did you use?"
Facing Tuoba Shengjie's question, Hu Bai just smiled and said nothing.
'My dear, why would I tell you my Soul Skill? We're not even close.'
Tuoba Shengjie also realized he had been a bit abrupt, suppressing the fear that arose in his heart, and charged again!
He refused to believe he couldn't touch Hu Bai.
However, this time, Hu Bai did not use Spiritual Interference again, deciding not to use it.
Since the person in front of him possessed the Earth-attribute White Armored Earth Dragon Martial Soul, he might as well use Earth attributes.
He used this attribute less often, making it perfect for practice and gaining insight into the Element Heart.
Although he didn't possess an Earth-attribute soul ring, whenever he was in deep sleep, his Martial Soul would automatically draw natural elements into his body, enhancing his control over various elements.
He could feel now that perhaps soon, his lightning would also advance to the ultimate attribute.
"Rock Barrier: Stone Shield!"
An earthen stone shield rose in front of Hu Bai, directly blocking Tuoba Shengjie.
And that wasn't all!
"Earth Dragon Thorn!"
On the ground where Tuoba Shengjie stood, several sharp spikes suddenly emerged. His pupils contracted sharply, and he subconsciously unleashed his first Soul Skill—his entire body enveloped in white rock scales. His hands protected vital areas, directly taking the hit head-on!
"Wow, I didn't expect Second Brother's Earth elemental force to be applied so well. When did he get these two skills?" Hu Liena praised sincerely.
Xie Yue also felt helpless about Hu Bai's talent; it was too Heaven-defying.
And that wasn't all!
"Earth River Chariot!"
The next moment, Hu Bai directly summoned a giant rock snake, opening its massive mouth and attacking Tuoba Shengjie.
Tuoba Shengjie only felt a chill down his spine—strong, too strong!
But he couldn't just give up.
Continuously using so many soul skills must consume a lot of soul power.
But then, he suddenly realized something was off: Hu Bai only had three soul rings, yet with one mental Soul Skill and now three Earth-attribute Martial Soul Abilities—that's already four skills!
What's going on?
But Tuoba Shengjie wasn't in the mood to think too much; his fourth soul ring rose—the strongest offensive skill.
Tuoba Shengjie clenched his right fist, looked at the rapidly approaching giant rock snake, leapt up, and smashed down on its head.
Fourth Soul Skill, Earth Dragon's Fury: Thousand Jun Drop!
This skill came from a six-thousand-year-old Mountain Ape, greatly increasing his strength and attack power!
Boom—
A cloud of smoke and dust rose, and Tuoba Shengjie's slightly panting voice echoed from within: "Didn't you say you were an Elementalist? Do you only know this one type of Earth elemental force? Can't you use other elements? I haven't seen how versatile you are yet!"
