Chapter 120: Strange Spirit Skills.
"It's been a long time, Senior Reid."
Xuan Mo stepped onto the fighting arena, oblivious to the deafening noises around him. Only when he looked at Barlot Reid did a hint of excitement cross his eyes.
"Do we know each other?"
Reid asked, his brows furrowed slightly.
"Senior, you'll know in a moment," Xuan Mo said, his gaze calm.
"I declare the match begins!" As the host spoke, Xuan Mo and Reid were instantly possessed by their spirits.
"It's you," Reid observed Xuan Mo's possessed spirit, instantly recalling the events of eight years ago.
After all, as the strongest student at the Barak Kingdom's Junior Spirit Master Academy, he naturally took notice of Xuan Mo, a newly enrolled, renowned, and the strongest of the freshmen.
So, when Xuan Mo's spirit possessed him, combined with his earlier words, Reid immediately recognized him.
"I didn't expect you've grown so quickly."
Reid, previously as cold as ice, couldn't help but let out a look of amazement upon learning Xuan Mo's age.
"Senior, you're too kind. It's just luck."
Xuan Mo, while being humble, also studied Reid. A blood mist enveloped his body, obscuring his features. A dark and menacing aura emanated continuously.
If Xuan Mo hadn't been sensitive to malevolent and resentful auras, he would have almost thought Balt Ryder had become an evil spirit master like those in Douluo Dalu II.
"Luck is also a matter of strength."
Balt Ryder shook his head, then gestured toward the audience. "Let's get started. If you want to tell me something, we can talk later. Otherwise, these people will think we're rigged."
"Of course. Then, I apologize."
Xuan Mo's actions were unequivocal. His first spirit ring immediately illuminated after he complied.
Since Reid's martial spirit was so strange, he was bound to be formidable, and he absolutely needed to surprise them.
Only in this way can we gain the upper hand in this battle of spirits.
The ground around Reid suddenly bulged up and closed in on Reid. Even the spikes on the ground kept stabbing into Reid's blood mist.
At this moment, a flash of purple light flashed in the blood mist, and a strange-shaped long sword that looked like an umbrella appeared in his hand.
Then the sword light flashed by, and Xuan Mo almost didn't see when Reid swung the sword. A blood-red horizontal slash passed by in an instant.
"Swish..."
Almost in the blink of an eye, the spikes that had originally attacked Reid and the bulging ground were like paper. The blood-red sword light flashed and they were instantly cut in two.
"What a fast speed, what a sharp sword."
Xuan Mo's pupils couldn't help but shrink when he saw this.
But Xuan Mo was not vague at all, because Reid was attacking him at an extremely fast speed.
Xuan Mo clenched his right hand, and a purple ripple spread out. Suddenly, a massive gravity pressed down on Reid, causing his blood-like speed to slow down under the force of gravity.
Just because Reid's speed was limited didn't mean he had no other options.
At that moment, Reid's eyes suddenly changed within the blood mist. As his first spirit ring illuminated, he shook his blood-red robes and unleashed his first spirit skill, "Bloody Poison Mist."
Unfortunately, due to the enveloping blood mist, Xuan Mo couldn't see what was happening inside.
He only saw the blood mist tremble before a cloud of blood quickly spread out from around him.
This blood mist was filled with a slow-acting poison. If inhaled, it would cause the victim to react to a slow-acting poison, much like the Bloody Mary in Slaughter City.
Xuan Mo, however, was completely oblivious to this, merely sensing something was amiss. "What a strong smell of blood!"
Xuan Mo frowned, but he didn't feel any discomfort, so he dismissed it.
Seeing this, Reid was also surprised.
He hadn't anticipated the blood mist's effects, so Xuan Mo was completely consumed. Even the slow-acting poison had no effect.
But Xuan Mo ignored Reid's shock. As the saying goes, take advantage of your weakness to kill you.
Since Reid couldn't escape, this was the perfect opportunity for Xuan Mo to strike back.
With a single step of his right foot, Xuan Mo unleashed the "Cliff Sword" once again, a massive lava-stone sword bursting forth from the ground and striking Reid.
Xuan Mo had already discerned that Reid's only advantage lay in speed and attack. In other respects, he could only rival the Soul Master, unable to defy gravity.
Just as Xuan Mo felt a wave of disappointment, believing he hadn't used his full strength and that the duel was about to end, Reid, still shrouded in the blood mist, curled his lips slightly.
As Reid's second soul ring flashed, his entire body exploded and turned into a bloody mist at the moment when the "Cliff Sword" hit him.
"Huh!"
"Hey! This pretty boy named Reid is not going to die like this, is he too weak?"
"Hehe, I'm afraid he's playing a fixed game."
Seeing this scene, the bewildered audience immediately expressed their displeasure. However, those with true vision and strength watched silently and solemnly.
"Uncle Gu, this..."
A middle-aged man in the VIP seats looked at the old man.
"What a strange spirit skill! This Reid is no ordinary person. Hehe, I'm afraid this kid is going to suffer."
Meanwhile, Xuan Mo also looked solemnly at the blood mist that continued to spread before him. He knew in his heart that Reid was definitely still there.
"What a strange spirit skill! No wonder he dared to call himself Immortal." Xuan Mo couldn't help but mutter, his mind secretly on guard.
In the next moment, the blood mist slowly condensed and then transformed into a humanoid form, holding a blood sword and rushing towards him at an extremely fast speed.
"Not good."
Seeing Reid's speed, Xuan Mo directly applied gravity to Reid. However, he found that gravity had no effect on Reid at this time. His speed did not slow at all, and Reid's entire body was like a blood shadow.
"Gravity Dragon Rain!"
Xuan Mo, seeing his third soul skill ineffective, abandoned it and waved his hand.
The rocks in the fighting arena flew, transforming into roaring dragon heads that descended like meteorites, one after another crashing down on Reid. The dense onslaught made dodging impossible.
Reid, however, showed no fear. With a single swing of his sword, he sliced through the incoming dragon heads, his body continuing to dodge like a bloody shadow. Those who were accidentally struck would dissolve into a bloody mist, resisting the onslaught head-on.
Xuan Mo watched as the sky of dragon heads shattered one by one, as Reid gradually closed in.
He then unleashed his second soul skill, "Taotie Battle Body," transforming into a suit of purple armor.
"Take my sword!"
Reid, transformed into a bloody shadow, rushed towards Xuan Mo, blood-red sword in hand, and stabbed him with incredible speed and ferocity.
"Come on."
Xuan Mo's gaze focused, and his right fist suddenly struck Reid's blood sword, but his left fist went straight to Reid's abdomen.
Although the blood sword was blocked, the place where the fist hit turned into blood mist again. After retreating, the place that had been hit by the blood mist turned into blood shadow again.
Although Reid was not hurt at all, his soul power was still devoured by Xuan Mo.
"This is..."
