Chapter 293 Accelerating the Electric Leopard with Lightning.
On the referee's stand, Wu Xuan's black spirit rings lit up, but this time they didn't appear around his body; instead, they appeared on his right arm.
With a swift claw strike, a terrifying, ferocious ghost claw instantly appeared above Meng Hongchen's head, its claw, like a death scythe, fiercely clawing at the descending ice sword.
"Clang!" The crisp sound of metal clashing echoed throughout the arena. The next moment, a "crack!" resounded, and with a clear breaking sound, the ice sword shattered. This incomparably terrifying sword strike was easily blocked by Wu Xuan.
Meng Hongchen braced herself with one hand on the ground, still feeling a lingering fear as she recalled the previous attack.
Wu Xuan stepped off the stage, roughly rubbing Xiao Xiao's head, and said irritably, "You little girl, I told you before, don't use your full strength, don't use your full strength! Who among them could withstand that attack?"
"Hehe~! I'll control myself afterwards." Xiao Xiao stuck out her little tongue.
"Talking is useless. You'll need to practice more. Mastering an ultimate martial soul isn't as easy as you think! You'll see soon enough." Wu Xuan smiled maliciously.
His opponent in the third match was one he had specifically chosen for this little girl, to see if she could react to pure speed.
"Alright, the second match is over. Next match, Chu Qingtian, please come to the stage!"
As soon as Wu Xuan finished speaking, a lightning-fast figure suddenly appeared on the fighting stage. The lightning dissipated in the next instant, and Chu Qingtian stood confidently on the fighting stage.
His speed drew the attention of the entire audience.
"Junior Sister Xiao Xiao, you've already fought two matches. Would you like to pause for a moment to recover your soul power?" Chu Qingtian's expression was natural; as the fastest in the inner academy, he naturally possessed his own pride.
"No need, let's begin!" Xiao Xiao raised her chin with a slightly aloof air.
Chu Qingtian glanced at Wu Xuan beside him upon hearing this.
Wu Xuan raised an eyebrow at this; such confidence was too much to pass up without a little slap on the wrist. So he secretly transmitted his voice to Chu Qingtian, "Brother Chu, don't hold back, just go ahead and make your move."
Chu Qingtian smiled and secretly gave Wu Xuan a hand gesture, indicating that he was all set.
"Chu Qingtian, level 68, agility-type Battle Soul Emperor, Martial Soul: Electric Mad Leopard, please enlighten me," Chu Qingtian said loudly, clasping his hands in a fist salute.
The next instant, six perfectly matched Soul Rings—two yellow, two purple, and two black—shone brightly, and an Electric Mad Leopard wreathed in lightning stepped out from behind Chu Qingtian. The lightning surrounding its body became even more dazzling.
"Xiao Xiao, level 56, power-type Battle Soul King, Martial Soul: Ice and Snow Maiden, Senior Chu, be careful." As soon as the words were spoken, a chill burst forth, and her dark green hair instantly turned snow-white.
"Alright, get ready, the match begins!" Wu Xuan gave the order and then immediately left the Soul Arena.
Just as Xiao Xiao raised her hand in a forward-pointing gesture, Chu Qingtian's third soul ring shone brightly.
"Third Soul Skill, Lightning Transformation!"
Lightning crackled around him, and in the next instant, Chu Qingtian vanished from sight. Countless bolts of lightning surged forth, and Chu Qingtian transformed into a bright streak of lightning, lunging towards Xiao Xiao.
The icy blue mist finally arrived, belatedly enveloping the lightning that Chu Qingtian had transformed into. Surprisingly, the mist was completely ineffective this time, easily breached by the lightning.
Lightning Transformation: Converting the entire body into lightning element increases movement speed by 20%, and grants immunity to 50% of all damage during this period.
Chu Qingtian's third soul skill was undoubtedly the envy of all agility-based soul masters. For agility-based soul masters, whose defenses are weak, this kind of life-saving soul skill is exactly what they need.
"What's going on?" Xiao Xiao was astonished, because the Limitless Freeze soul skill was completely ineffective?
What Xiao Xiao didn't know was that Limitless Freeze wasn't actually ineffective; Chu Qingtian had cleverly dodged it the instant it hit him, utilizing his speed advantage.
This lapse in the Limitless Freeze soul skill was ultimately due to Xiao Xiao's unfamiliarity with his newly acquired martial soul.
At this distance, releasing the soul skill was too late, but Xiao Xiao still had other methods.
Xiao Xiao's left arm instantly glowed with a dark golden light. Her soul bone skill activated, unleashing a barrage of dark golden, rhomboid light blades that rained down on Chu Qingtian, who had transformed into lightning.
The 80,000-year-old left arm bone, named Xuanmang Pofeng, was taken from a top-tier soul beast called Xuanjia Earth Dragon. Its area-of-effect attack was instantly effective.
Chu Qingtian's forward momentum halted abruptly. Reverting to human form, his first soul ring suddenly lit up.
"First Soul Skill, Lightning Strike!"
Lightning seemed to rise behind Chu Qingtian. His feet shot out, his speed instantly reaching its peak. He dashed to the side like a phantom lightning bolt, once again dodging Xiao Xiao's 80,000-year-old soul bone's area-of-effect soul skill.
The Electric Mad Leopard was only considered mid-tier among lightning-attribute soul beasts, belonging to the category of ordinary top-tier soul beasts, because its method of using lightning was completely different from that of ordinary lightning-attribute soul beasts.
Lightning-attribute soul beasts generally possess terrifying destructive power, but the Electric Frenzied Leopard is different. Its lightning isn't used for attack; instead, it's all redirected for acceleration!
Acceleration through lightning!
"Fourth Soul Skill, Lightning Shadow Illusion!"
Sparks of lightning fell to the ground and gathered together, instantly forming five figures identical to Chu Qingtian. Each of the five figures possessed thirty percent of Chu Qingtian's abilities, even benefiting from amplification soul skills, thus increasing soul power consumption several times over.
A clone soul skill essential for agility-type soul masters, with this skill, agility-type soul masters' cultivation can be considered to have directly entered the mature stage.
Facing the aggressive Chu Qingtian, Xiao Xiao, having calmed down, suddenly lit up her second orange-gold soul ring.
"Second Soul Skill, Blizzard!"
The next instant, a chill permeated the air, and a third of the battle arena completely transformed into an icy world. Large snowflakes, like goose feathers, raged wildly under the blowing wind, even causing Chu Qingtian and his five clones to lose their target.
Chu Qingtian, who had just rushed into the blizzard, shivered instantly, his body frozing as layers of frost formed on his skin. The extreme cold made him feel completely stiff. With the help of his numerous clones, Chu Qingtian's main body slid out of the blizzard's reach.
At this moment, Xiao Xiao's disadvantage became apparent again. Her blizzard, designed to amplify herself and weaken her opponent—essentially a field-control soul skill—only covered an area of forty to fifty meters. It should be noted that the blizzard unleashed by the Snow Emperor at level fifty-something could instantly cover a hundred meters. If it weren't for Wu Xuan's superior strength and the extreme wind that suppressed all wind elements, even he would have encountered considerable trouble that time.
