Chapter 179 Countermeasure Plan to Repel Yan Shaozhe and Dai Youheng
This discovery caught Yan Shaozhe off guard. A Title Douluo with extreme attributes is already extremely rare; if he were to also be a Soul Master, his difficulty and potential threat would increase exponentially!
boom!
In the end, the phoenix arrow was smashed to pieces, and Yan Shaozhe's figure was forced to manifest. He flew backward, his blood and qi surging, and his face was filled with disbelief.
Ling Ya pressed his advantage, another soul tool on his back blazing brightly—a pair of wings. A stream of icy soul power flowed into the wings, causing his speed to surge once more. Transforming into a streak of blue lightning, he instantly closed in on Yan Shaozhe, his claws, covered in Ice Prison Shattering Star Armor, carrying a chilling aura capable of tearing through space, slashing down!
Yan Shaozhe hurriedly used his "Second Soul Skill, Holy Flame Protection," and a golden flame shield instantly enveloped his entire body.
The claws gripped the Holy Flame Shield, and the extreme ice and holy fire clashed fiercely once more, producing a piercing sound. The shield fluctuated violently; although it wasn't immediately broken, the terrifying force and chill emanating from it still made Yan Shaozhe feel uncomfortable.
The cold air had penetrated his body, slowing his blood flow and reducing his movements considerably.
Both of these suddenly appearing soul tools are level seven soul tools.
They are:
Level 7 High-Altitude Soul Guidance Device: Eternal Frost Dome, a set of light and streamlined silver-white metal wing armor covering the back and arms, with a wingspan of up to ten meters, greatly enhancing flight ability. The core magic array constantly emits a chilling aura, which has a certain bonus to ice attribute soul skills.
Level 7 Melee Soul Tool: Ice Prison Star Shattering Armguard, amplifies the terrifying power brought by the Frost God Power Soul Bone and combines it with the destructive power of extreme cold to create a devastating weapon for close combat.
In fact, Ling Ya's current Soul Master level is only level six. These two level seven Soul Tools were made by him and level eight Soul Master Zi Ling Douluo when he was in the Star Luo Empire.
Although it exceeded his Soul Master level, with his Title Douluo strength, he was still able to control these two Level 7 Soul Tools very smoothly.
The ultimate ice of the Snow Soul Condensing Ice Pill, the doubled attributes of the Ice and Fire Body Refining Pill, and two extremely compatible level-seven soul tools allowed Ling Ya, who was only level 91, to hold his own against Yan Shaozhe, the level 95 Ming Feng Douluo, and even to suppress him.
Yan Shaozhe finally understood that with this well-equipped and attribute-counteracting Ice Sky Douluo present today, he had absolutely no chance of defeating Dai Youheng.
After a prolonged battle with no clear victor and even being subtly suppressed, Yan Shaozhe began to consider retreating.
In the shadows, Ghost Douluo Nana had already silently crept to the best position, her Martial Soul True Body quietly activated, her eighth Soul Ring lit up, and invisible soul threads spread out like venomous snakes, preparing to launch a fatal sneak attack when Yan Shaozhe's mind wavered.
However, just as she was about to make her move, two voices rang in her ears almost simultaneously.
One was Dai Youheng calmly transmitting his voice, "Nana, step back! Your attributes are completely countered by him; attacking would only be dangerous!"
The other was Yan Shaozhe's resolute roar, as his ninth spirit ring suddenly erupted with a dazzling light like the sun, "Ninth Spirit Skill, Phoenix Descent!!"
boom!!!!
Yan Shaozhe's Radiant Phoenix form instantly expanded, its wingspan reaching nearly a hundred meters, resembling a true divine beast descending to earth! A vast expanse of phoenix flames swept out, each flame transforming into a small Radiant Fire Phoenix, emitting a clear and melodious cry, automatically tracking and incinerating all surrounding enemies! A terrifying heatwave and aura of light instantly engulfed the entire airspace, its power devastating the heavens and earth!
This sudden, ultimate outburst was not intended to kill the enemy, but to force them back! That endless light and holy flames were a natural enemy for a Soul Master like Nana, who leaned towards darkness and had a soul attribute!
Nana was horrified. The thought of launching a sneak attack vanished instantly. Her soul felt a sharp burning pain, and without hesitation, she fled and hid herself away.
Only then did she realize how correct the young master's judgment was. If she had acted rashly just now, she would have been severely injured by the endless phoenix flames of light!
Ling Ya, who was directly bearing the force, was forced to retreat repeatedly by the terrifying power of the ninth soul skill. He unleashed the full power of Thousand Feather Ice Prison, and countless ice feathers collided and annihilated with the small fire phoenix, as if a storm of ice and fire was falling in the sky.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yan Shaozhe took a deep look at Dai Youheng, who was being protected by Ling Ya, with a complex expression in his eyes. Finally, he transformed into a golden light and fled at an extremely fast speed, disappearing into the horizon.
The light and flames in the sky gradually dissipated, leaving only the giant ice eagle that Lingya had transformed into, hovering in the air, its body exuding a chilling aura that completely dispelled the remaining heat.
Ling Ya deactivated his Martial Soul True Form and landed back beside Dai Youheng with Nana. Nana looked in the direction where Yan Shaozhe had disappeared, her delicate brows furrowed slightly, her tone tinged with worry, "Young Master, Yan Shaozhe is gone just like that—given Shrek Academy's style, he will never let this go. I'm afraid he will soon use the academy's influence to put pressure on the Star Luo Empire."
Dai Youheng remained calm, as if he had anticipated all of this. He nodded. "That's natural. Once he returns, the most likely thing he'll do is, under the pretext of 'eliminating evil soul masters and cleaning house,' formally request the Star Luo Royal Family to hand me over for investigation and punishment by Shrek Academy."
"Then—will the royal family compromise under pressure?" Nana couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Shrek Academy's reputation and influence were simply too great.
Upon hearing this, Dai Youheng's lips curled into a calm smile. "Don't worry. In fact, turning against Shrek Academy was a situation I had already anticipated when I decided to completely sever ties with the direct line of the Dai family."
His gaze deepened, and he slowly analyzed, "Do you really think Shrek Academy is just a simple academy? No, it has long been a nation within a nation, transcending the boundaries of the empire," a vast power independent of all other regimes.
"During the continental war four thousand years ago, the dean of Shrek Academy was able to summon more than sixty titled Douluo to participate in the war with a single call! This number was something that even the most powerful empires at the time could not match."
Think about it, were all these Title Douluos trained by Shrek City itself? There must be many powerful figures among them who came from various empires, some even holding high-ranking positions. But at that moment, they obeyed Shrek's orders, not the emperors of their respective empires.
He looked at Ling Ya and Nana, his tone grave, "What does this mean? It means that Shrek Academy actually possesses top-tier military power and influence capable of overturning the continent's格局 (geju, a term referring to the overall situation or structure of the continent). The higher-ups of the three great empires, Tianhun, Douling, and Xingluo, are probably already well aware of this, but they dare not speak out due to Shrek's strength and the prestige accumulated over ten thousand years."
"The direct line of the Dai family has always been a staunch supporter of Shrek Academy. Dai Yueheng and Dai Huabin were sent to Shrek Academy from a young age and have a deep admiration for the academy. If they were to inherit the title of Duke of White Tiger and control the Western Army Group, then this most elite legion of the Star Luo Empire would inevitably become a force leaning towards Shrek Academy. This is something the Star Luo royal family absolutely cannot tolerate!"
"And me," Dai Youheng pointed to himself, "my current stance is clearly biased towards the royal family. I am the most important pawn used by the royal family to check and balance, and ultimately seize control of the Western Army Group. Shrek Academy is not happy to see this change. Yan Shaozhe's attack on me today was partly due to his mistaken belief that I was an evil soul master, but it may also be an opportunity to help Dai Yueheng eliminate me, his biggest competitor."
He concluded, "Therefore, Xu Jiawei and Xu Jiujiu aren't stupid. They've coveted the Western Army Group for so many years, how could they possibly hand over their own ally, me, just because of a single demand from Shrek Academy? Now that Dragon God Douluo Mu En is dead, Shrek Academy has lost its greatest deterrent force. While Xuanzi still possesses considerable power, he's no longer sufficient to create an overwhelming advantage. Even if the royal family doesn't dare to confront Shrek Academy head-on, they will at least try to maneuver, delay, and find other solutions; they will never compromise easily."
After listening to this insightful analysis, Ling Ya's eyes flashed with admiration. He bowed and asked, "Young Master's foresight is truly admirable. So, what should we do now?"
Dai Youheng stroked his chin, a knowing smile appearing on his face. "The plan remains unchanged. We'll proceed with the original route to visit Mother and Luo Li."
He paused, stroked his chin, and chuckled, "As for the trouble caused by Yan Shaozhe and Shrek Academy, I already have a solution in mind. Moreover, their attack has given me a perfect excuse to do things that might otherwise require more justification. Heh, the Lazy God Exam, a passive victory, I can use this to my advantage..."
