Douluo: Not enough blood? Use your brain

Win with what?

Facing Xu Yuan directly, Su Mu felt immense pressure.

His Nine-Tailed Fox martial soul excelled at sensing the world's spiritual energy, even enhancing his ability to mobilize it, but at this moment, he felt as if the entire world was somewhat foreign, under the control of the person opposite him.

Clearly, Xu Yuan hadn't used any methods, not even the so-called Seven Forbidden Techniques had been put into practice, yet the disparity was so great.

Little did he know that Xu Yuan had already subtly unleashed the last three techniques.

However, it wasn't intentional; rather, he had practiced the last three techniques to such a profound level that he unconsciously emitted essence, energy, and spirit, integrating them into the surrounding world, using the power of the world to nourish his own essence, energy, and spirit.

At the same time, this was also a process of him combining the Seven Forbidden Techniques with his own Heaven and Earth Furnace Method.

Every moment, his essence, energy, and spirit seemed to be nourished by the Heaven and Earth Furnace, increasing at a rate thirty percent faster than his pure cultivation.

One must know that Xu Yuan had already developed three essence, energy, and spirit cultivation methods that were most suitable for him, and his aptitude was extremely high, so his progress was already extremely fast. On this basis, to increase it by another thirty percent was quite astonishing.

Xu Yuan's blood energy erupted, and his spear intent surged.

The surrounding world changed drastically.

Su Mu, who was keenly aware of the world's spiritual energy, immediately sensed that the world seemed to have changed owners.

Boom!

The five tails behind him danced wildly. The two tails on the left simultaneously released light, a pure white halo and a seven-colored halo, respectively, were flung out from the two tails, heading towards Xu Yuan.

At this moment, the oppression of the Seven Forbidden Techniques finally arrived.

Su Mu's expression changed drastically. He felt as if the soul power within his body was out of control, and it was ten times more difficult to mobilize.

Fortunately, it wasn't completely sealed.

However, this already greatly affected the battle.

Not only soul power, but his spiritual power also seemed to be covered in dust at this moment, and his perception also dropped significantly.

His gaze towards Xu Yuan was filled with fear.

His remaining three tails also waved.

However, with his soul power hindered, he could only use soul skills one tail at a time. The third tail waved, and a dark green halo was placed on Su Mu himself.

The fourth tail waved, and another halo of chaotic color flew out, the Chaos Halo.

The fifth tail waved, and a black halo flew out, rapidly expanding to envelop the entire arena, the Gravity Halo.

Su Mu quickly used his five great soul skills. Even though the soul power within his body was severely depleted, he didn't feel any heartache.

If he didn't expend it now, he might not have the chance to expend it later.

Therefore, when fighting Xu Yuan, one must not be stingy with their soul power.

The total amount of suppressed soul power hasn't changed, but the output speed has decreased. If you don't have the ability to delay for a long time, then you must basically use soul skills throughout the entire process to clash with Xu Yuan.

This was a countermeasure jointly discussed by the few Heavenly Kings of the Monster Academy.

Even they hadn't enjoyed the feeling of releasing soul skills every moment during battle. Someone like Su Mu had never simultaneously used five soul skills.

But now he had no choice but to use them all at once.

The first pure white halo was placed on the ground around Xu Yuan's body, with a diameter of fifteen meters. The halo's released light seemed to condense the surrounding air, making it extremely viscous.

The second seven-colored halo also followed closely behind, placed on Xu Yuan's body.

Soul power was slowly draining.

Soul Power Stripping!

The stripping speed wasn't fast, but it couldn't be said to be slow either, because as the battle progressed, the amount of stripped soul power would become more and more, thereby affecting the entire battle.

However, this was for others.

Xu Yuan's essence, energy, and spirit were integrated, merging into the world, and with the help of the world's power, he only resisted lightly, and was no longer affected by the soul power stripping effect.

Su Mu's expression changed slightly.

He had encountered an enemy who could resist his soul power stripping for the first time.

No, not immune, but had means to deal with it!

After a moment, his expression was extremely heavy.

The fourth soul skill, Chaos Halo, was also immune. The mental interference fluctuations had no effect on Xu Yuan.

The fifth soul ring, Gravity Halo, also seemed to have no effect on Xu Yuan at all. Xu Yuan still seemed like nothing had happened.

"Very good abilities," Xu Yuan commented.

The spear in his hand pointed forward.

Blood energy flames surrounded his body, and strands of blood energy flames spread along the spear shaft to the spear tip.

Blood energy erupted.

As if exploding, the rare metal arena under Xu Yuan's feet instantly deformed, and Xu Yuan was like an arrow leaving the string, turning into a ray of light.

This speed didn't seem to be affected by the dual effects of the Slowing Halo and Gravity Halo at all.

The intense blood energy pressure approached, and Su Mu fully mobilized his soul power, injecting it into the third tail, and the dark green halo around him released a dazzling light.

Block it!

Must block it.

Su Mu stared intently at Xu Yuan, watching Xu Yuan's spear tip stab at his Reversal Halo.

Reversal Halo, as long as it doesn't exceed his tolerance range, it can reverse the damage and counterattack the enemy.

This was Su Mu's strongest defensive soul skill, and also his reliance on becoming the Fox King.

A turtle shell plus soul power stripping was his most common combat tactic.

Clearly a Nine-Tailed Fox, but with such a disgusting tactic.

But there was no other way. His Nine-Tailed Fox hadn't transformed to its strongest state yet. The five-tailed stage was very awkward. All abilities were very strong, but not strong enough to be perverted. They could only cooperate with each other.

The real strong attack means would only appear in the ninth ring.

Chapter 247: The Heavenly Kings' Summary

Xu Yuan's spear tip's blood energy erupted, and Su Mu's vision was shrouded in crimson blood energy.

The dark green halo shattered in response.

This attack exceeded the upper limit it could withstand.

The spear tip stopped in front of Su Mu's eyes.

Su Mu's pupils were still contracting, and while shocked, he was also fortunate.

This Xu Yuan definitely still had spare power, otherwise it would be impossible to retract the spear at the last moment.

This was clearly a great irony. The opponent hadn't used his full strength, and he had already lost, but it was also the reason why he was still alive now.

Xu Yuan retracted his spear and turned to leave.

The blood energy slowly dissipated, but his momentum was still condensing, and the surrounding world seemed to be forging this world-shocking divine spear like a furnace.

"Without using full strength, he exceeded the limit of Su Mu's Reversal Halo." Dai Yueyan took a deep breath, the shock in his eyes still present.

He and Su Mu had a good relationship, and he was most clear about the endurance of Su Mu's halo.

At least, he, Dai Yueyan, absolutely had no ability to break this soul ring, so in battle, he needed to consume Su Mu's Reversal Halo in other ways.

Among the members of the Heavenly King Team, only Dragon King Long Yue had the ability to directly break Su Mu's Reversal Halo.

Taking a deep breath, Dai Yueyan gave a bitter smile.

"As expected, but his shot seemed too effortless. According to Foreign Minister Sima Lanxiao, this Xu Yuan can also burn his life force, and after burning, there are no obvious sequelae. It seems to be a burst method that can be used in regular battles, and there is also a mecha, and possibly a Dou Kai superposition."

Long Yue crossed his arms in front of his chest, watching Xu Yuan gradually move away on the field, the fighting intent in his eyes already quite intense.

"In a one-on-one battle where mechas and Dou Kais can be used, only Dragon Brother can deal with him. As for the team battle, I should have a chance to fight him."

Dai Yun'er looked at her fourth brother in surprise.

Noticing Dai Yun'er's gaze, Dai Yueyan explained, "Just now, Su Mu didn't even release his Dou Kai. I don't know if it was Xu Yuan's forbidden technique that prevented him from quickly fusing with the Dou Kai, so I still need to ask him later."

"If it's because of the forbidden technique that Su Mu gave up fusing with the Dou Kai, then when we encounter Xu Yuan, we must complete the fusion of the Dou Kai as soon as possible."

Dai Yun'er finally reacted.

That's right, influenced by Xu Yuan's aura, she had overlooked that Su Mu hadn't used his full strength yet, and hadn't even fused with his Dou Kai.

"But, that Xu Yuan should also have a Dou Kai, right?" Dai Yun'er asked again.

"Yun'er, you need to know that Dou Kai essentially enhances a Soul Master's abilities. It's a full set of equipment for the Martial Soul. Since his forbidden technique can't completely seal the enemy's soul power, and is affected by the strength of both sides, then the stronger one is, the weaker the sealing effect will inevitably be."

Dai Yueyan explained to Dai Yun'er, "Although he can also fuse with the Dou Kai, both sides will receive a basic boost. Even if his forbidden technique increases somewhat due to the increase in strength, the overall weakening effect on me will only decrease."

This is a relative strengthening, but not proportional.

It can be seen as both sides' health bars, mana bars, and even various resistances being greatly enhanced, and the power of Soul Skills being enhanced as well. Although who is stronger and who is weaker hasn't been reversed, and the gap is still the same proportion, the battles between the two sides will no longer be able to end so quickly.

"Oh~ In other words, Fourth Brother, you won't be instantly killed by him!" Dai Yun'er suddenly understood.

Three black lines appeared on Dai Yueyan's forehead, and his right hand directly covered Dai Yun'er's head.

"Ah! Fourth Brother, you hit me! I'm going to tell Father Emperor!"

"."

Su Mu returned to the Heavenly King Team's box and reported his feelings to everyone.

"His forbidden technique has a very serious impact."

His tone was very heavy, and he looked at Dai Yueyan, almost reminding Dai Yueyan not to think about experiencing it before making a judgment.

"Although I used all five of my Soul Skills, the last three Soul Skills, with my Soul King level, using three thousand-year Soul Skills, almost exhausted all my strength."

Listening to Su Mu's description, Dai Yueyan and the others were also shocked.

So, is the suppression so terrifying?

"In the dark, the world seemed to be controlled by him, suppressing me. At that time, I also wanted to fuse with the Dou Kai, but one wrong step led to another."

Su Mu gave a wry smile, somewhat regretting that he was too arrogant, and at the beginning, he actually released the first and second Soul Skills instead of first fusing with the Dou Kai.

Actually, it wasn't arrogance. He knew Xu Yuan was powerful, and he actually wanted to experience the feeling of Xu Yuan using the forbidden technique.

But this experience directly made him lose the opportunity to fuse with the Dou Kai.

"I can feel that in a suppressed state, the effect of fusing with the Dou Kai will also be greatly reduced. I may not even be able to bear the increase from the Dou Kai."

When Su Mu said this, there was also fear in his eyes.

"How is that possible?"

"His seal isn't completely sealing you back to your weak period. Aren't your soul power and physical fitness still there?" Dai Yueyan was shocked.

"No, my perception is very keen and won't be wrong. Strictly speaking, what he seals isn't soul power, but spirit, energy, and soul."

Su Mu said very definitely, "If the spirit, energy, and soul are completely suppressed, even the Martial Soul will be weakened, and the amplification of the Dou Kai fusion will increase the burden on the Martial Soul, which the spirit, energy, and soul can't support."

Of course, he quickly changed his tone.

"Of course, it's not that it's completely impossible to bear, but that would be meaningless, and I might even give him a chance to defeat me even more thoroughly if I wore the Dou Kai."

"Even the fusion of the Dou Kai can be affected..." On the Heavenly King Team's side, they directly felt the terror of Xu Yuan's Seven Absolutes Forbidden Technique for the first time.

"Actually, only our One-Word Dou Kai should be affected. Dou Kais that have reached the Spirit Forging level or are made of Spirit Alloy, directly integrated into the Soul Master's body, should not be affected."

The difference between ordinary Thousand Refined First Grade One-Word Dou Kais and Spirit Alloy One-Word Dou Kais is not just that they are easier to wear.

Spirit Alloys and Spirit Forged metals can be integrated into the Soul Master's body. This is a constant fusion with the Soul Master, especially when the Dou Kai is completely made and paired with the Soul Master. Spirit Alloys and Spirit Forged metals are already similar to Soul Spirits, and have undergone a deep fusion with the Soul Master.

Ordinary One-Word Dou Kais are an addition to your current state and will be affected by the state.

However, Two-Word Dou Kais or Spirit Alloy One-Word Dou Kais are fused from the inside out. Even if the state has been suppressed, fusion can still be achieved, and they can jointly resist this suppression with the Soul Master.

Of course, there are very few methods that can affect the state of ordinary One-Word Dou Kais when they are attached.

Under normal circumstances, weakening alone cannot cause this effect.

Xu Yuan's forbidden technique simultaneously weakens spirit, energy, and soul, and the weakening is indeed too comprehensive, resulting in this effect.

"The first thing to do when we encounter this Xu Yuan next is to fuse with the Dou Kai. If possible, force out his Dou Kai!"

Dai Yueyan looked at the other team members.

If they can't even force out Xu Yuan's Dou Kai, then they would be too unsuccessful.

At least, they should see his true strength, right?
