"What? Seventh Elder, do you think support-type soul masters can't defeat assault-type soul masters?"
Tang Yuehua's delicate eyebrows frowned slightly as she asked somewhat unhappily.
Are you looking down on supports?
It was rare for support-type soul masters to defeat assault-type soul masters on the continent, and even fewer people had witnessed it. But coincidentally, she, Tang Yuehua, had seen it—and this support's true combat strength was terrifying.
This person was none other than Chu Chengzhou, who shamelessly disguised himself as a supporter.
Without a doubt, Chu Chengzhou's True Spirit Flag martial soul didn't belong to assault, agile assault, or control types, nor was it healing, food, or defensive. According to the current mainland soul master world's classification of martial soul types, calling it a support-type martial soul wasn't entirely wrong.
After all, summoning spirits to assist summoners or their teammates in battle—that also counted as support~!
Hearing this, Tang Lie was stunned—could supporters really defeat assault types?
"Niece Yuehua, make your move!"
However, Tang Lie didn't immediately deny it. Instead, he stood with his hammer ready, signaling for Tang Yuehua to attack directly.
He wanted to see for himself how you, a support, could possibly defeat my assault type! Not to mention that as a support, your soul power level is probably lower than mine as an assault type.
Gazing at Tang Lie for a moment, a smile appeared at the corners of Tang Yuehua's mouth. No longer concealing her aura through the Absolute Control supreme art, surging soul power emanated from her body as her imposing presence was fully revealed. She said: "Seventh Elder, you should be careful!"
"Hiss~, Soul Douluo?!"
Sensing the aura emanating from Tang Yuehua, Tang Xiao watching nearby couldn't help but exclaim in shock. He then looked at Chu Chengzhou beside him with a surprised expression.
Although Tang Yuehua hadn't revealed her exact soul power level, nor had she released her martial soul and soul rings, Tang Xiao—as a Level 96 Titled Douluo—could clearly tell his younger sister's soul power level when she actively released her aura.
Tang Xiao still remembered that over half a year ago, when his younger sister returned to the sect, he had personally gone to the forward outpost village to bring Tang Yuehua back by flying with her.
Otherwise, Tang Yuehua—who couldn't fly and wasn't even a formal soul master—wouldn't have been able to cross the several cliff iron chains connecting the sect's residence to the outside world.
Tang Xiao was certain that at that time, Tang Yuehua was still just a nobody. But after half a year, she had become an eighth-ring Soul Douluo? This was completely unbelievable!
No need to say—it was definitely good brother-in-law Chu Chengzhou's doing that caused such a dramatic change in his younger sister. Otherwise, if his younger sister really had this ability, she would have taken off long ago.
'Eighth ring... are immortal herbs really that miraculous?'
Tang Xiao's shocked words struck Tang San's heart like a divine thunderbolt.
In just a few months, his aunt had soared from a Level 9 Soul Trainee to an eighth-ring Soul Douluo just by consuming one Aromatic Silk Beauty?
No wonder his uncle-in-law became a ninth-ring Titled Douluo at such a young age—if his aunt became like this after eating one, let alone his uncle-in-law who had consumed two immortal herbs!
Tang San: I also want immortal herbs so badly!
Since immortal medicinal herbs only existed in legends, Tang San had never seen them with his own eyes, nor had he consumed them personally. Thus, Tang San attributed all the dramatic changes in Tang Yuehua entirely to that Aromatic Silk Beauty.
"Niece Yuehua, it seems this old man underestimated you!"
Sensing the considerable soul power aura emanating from Tang Yuehua, Tang Lie put aside his look of contempt and said with a somewhat solemn expression.
At this moment, Tang Lie roughly guessed the source of Tang Yuehua's confidence.
Theoretically speaking, support-type soul masters weren't absolutely unable to defeat assault-type soul masters.
Support-type and healing-type soul masters lacked combat strength simply because their martial souls and soul skills had no offensive or defensive means. This could be remedied by refining soul bones to obtain soul bone skills—a solution available to support and healing types with sufficient resources.
No doubt, Tang Yuehua dared to challenge them elders because she must have obtained soul bones with considerable cultivation years, planning to defeat them with soul bone skills.
However... hmph, she's just too young. Does she really think having one or two soul bone skills can defeat this old man?
After all, in terms of power—even if you, Tang Yuehua, can unleash a ninety-thousand-year assault-type soul bone skill, its power still wouldn't match my eighty-thousand-year eighth assault soul skill unleashed after activating Hao Tian True Body!
"Soul bone skill: Crystal Radiant Dragon Shrimp Strike!"
With a light shout, golden crystal-like radiance flashed over Tang Yuehua's right arm. As surging soul power flowed around her body, a massive Crystal Radiant Dragon Shrimp phantom materialized in the air behind her.
The next second, the massive crystal shrimp shadow flashed with golden light. Its shrimp belly suddenly swelled up, and its majestic shrimp head—which resembled a true dragon's head—aimed at Tang Lie opposite her. It then spat out a brilliant golden light column.
"Not good! Fifth soul skill, Hao Tian Protection!"
The moment the massive golden shrimp shadow appeared, Tang Lie sensed something was wrong. In shock and alarm, he hurriedly activated his fifth defensive soul skill.
Such power—could this be a hundred-thousand-year soul bone skill?! Good heavens~, this is life-threatening!
"BOOM—"
Before Tang Lie could be more terrified, his fifth soul ring lit up brightly. Just as he held his Hao Tian Hammer—which had just condensed a layer of black light shield—in front of his body, the brilliant golden light column arrived instantly, engulfing his entire form.
Under the terrifying attack of the golden light column, the black light shield formed by the ten-thousand-year defensive soul skill instantly dissipated. The exceptionally sturdy Hao Tian Hammer martial soul in his hand shattered inch by inch. Then the light column broke through Tang Lie's protective soul power. Though its power was greatly reduced, the remaining force of the golden light column still struck his chest.
Immediately, the heavily injured and unconscious Tang Lie was sent flying dozens of meters away, plummeting toward the cliff behind him that was shrouded in clouds and at least a thousand zhang deep.
The power of a hundred-thousand-year soul bone skill was naturally no joke. Tang Yuehua was an Level 84 Soul Douluo while Tang Lie was an Level 89 Soul Douluo—the level gap existed but wasn't significant. Combined with Tang Lie's defensive soul skill being only ten thousand years old, he naturally couldn't withstand it.
Fortunately, the Hao Tian Protection defensive soul skill was rather special. The condensed black light shield counted as one layer of defense, the sturdy and sizable Hao Tian Hammer martial soul that could protect his head and chest vital points counted as another layer, and his own protective soul power counted as a third layer. With these three layers of defense continuously offsetting the attack, Tang Lie didn't get instantly killed in one move.
Of course, having his martial soul forcibly shattered—first suffering from martial soul backlash, then using his flesh body to withstand a hundred-thousand-year soul bone skill whose power had been reduced but still retained considerable force—Tang Lie definitely didn't get off lightly.
Tang Lie: This junior doesn't play by the rules!
"Old Seven!"
Seeing Tang Lie critically injured in one move and sent tumbling down the cliff, the four elders watching nearby changed expressions drastically, all exclaiming in shock.
Setting aside Tang Lie's injuries—even if he were completely unharmed, falling from such a height would definitely turn him into a meat pie.
