Chapter 39 Water Mirror Seal
"So a deal was indeed struck in private?"
Wu Changkong muttered to himself.
Although Meng Xinghe and Gu Yuena's talent for transmitting sound into secrets at the age of nine seems too extraordinary, seeing their other abilities makes everything seem perfectly reasonable.
Just as if someone has shown exceptional talent in multiple areas, when they then demonstrate the same level of talent in a new area, people will not be surprised, but will instead take it for granted.
Thinking back on the battle just now, there's not much to say about the methods Gu Yuena used. She simply used the power of the Elemental Heart to amplify the explosive power of the two opposing elements, ice and fire. High values, high power, simple and brutal.
However, Wu Changkong couldn't quite understand the abilities Meng Xinghe used.
The effect of the Fusion Ring talent can only be applied to Soul Rings and Soul Skills. Therefore, Meng Xinghe must have used one of the three Soul Skills at that time, but the golden "python" he unleashed gave Wu Changkong the feeling of a ultimate combat technique.
Combat skills, also known as self-created soul skills, are powerful skills that can be used without the need for soul rings or soul bones.
Unlike spirit rings and spirit bones, the power of these skills is not limited by age; instead, they can grow stronger as the spirit master himself/herself.
Therefore, any kind of combat skill is extremely valuable, especially those combat skills that require no learning threshold or have a very low learning threshold, which are priceless treasures.
Their Spirit Pagoda's ancient family's Unyielding Staff Technique is a priceless combat skill, while his former teacher, Crimson Dragon Douluo Zhuoshi's Crimson Dragon Nine Styles, has extremely high requirements for the cultivator's blood and qi, making it unsuitable for all soul masters. Even so, it is still a very precious combat skill.
Wu Changkong looked at Meng Xinghe. The move he just made seemed to be half soul skill and half ultimate technique, or rather, it was a combat technique created on the basis of his own soul skill.
Thinking about this, he suddenly felt a little ashamed.
At only nine years old, he already possessed his own unique combat skills. How could this Soul Douluo, who was over thirty years old, bear this?
That's so embarrassing!
Wu Changkong felt a surge of emotions.
He's currently a Soul Douluo, and with a few more years of training, he'll be able to break through to the Title Douluo level, so it's time for him to find his own path.
Looking at Meng Xinghe and Gu Yuena, Wu Changkong seemed to see the future of the Spirit Pagoda.
The Qian Gu family has held the position of tower master of the Spirit Transmission Tower for thousands of years, thus establishing their absolute dominance over the tower.
However, there's nothing that can be done about it. The Qian Gu family is so successful that they can produce a Limit Douluo every generation. For a long time in history, the reputation of Limit Douluo in the Spirit Pagoda was upheld by the Qian Gu family.
The lineage has been passed down to this generation, with three Limit Douluo still alive. The current successor of the Qian Gu family is also exceptionally talented and possesses the potential to reach the limit.
Without Meng Xinghe and Gu Yuena, the position of the next tower master of the Spirit Pagoda would undoubtedly have fallen to the successor of the Qian Gu family.
But there are no "what ifs" in reality. With two monstrous geniuses, Meng Xinghe and Gu Yuena, the position of the next tower master can only fall to one of them.
……
Wu Changkong didn't offer much commentary on the fight between the two, and there wasn't much to comment on anyway.
Meng Xinghe has a soul skill that is a natural counter to Gu Yuena, which directly renders their match meaningless as a practical training exercise.
If Gu Yuena were a beast spirit warrior, Wu Changkong would point out why she wasn't engaged in close combat. But Gu Yuena is an elemental spirit master; he can't very well have a ranged mage engage in close-quarters combat with a body spirit warrior, can he?
However, on the other hand, even if Meng Xinghe didn't have that soul skill, Gu Yuena could still be a melee mage who delivers powerful blows; she could simply add elemental power to her fists.
The left fist deals high damage, the right fist deals high damage – that's the charm of a melee mage.
"Both students performed exceptionally well. Gu Yuena, who lost, should not be discouraged. Although she narrowly lost to the Fusion Ring Stacking Combat Technique, she still deserves credit for her defeat."
"Yes," Gu Yuena nodded, "Thank you, Teacher Wu."
It turned out that was a unique combat technique; she had thought it was a soul skill.
Speaking of these things, she has lived for so long, but she has basically been sleeping in the Lake of Life, and she doesn't have any combat skills or special techniques.
Don't be fooled by how skillfully she manipulates the elements; these are just the most basic applications of the elements, things that every elemental soul master knows, only the degree of control varies, and they can't really be considered combat techniques or ultimate skills.
Even Emperor Tian has his own self-created sword technique, but she, as the master, has nothing. It's really a disgrace to the dragon.
The matter of creating one's own unique skill needs to be arranged as soon as possible, but Gu Yuena doesn't know where to start.
Why don't we ask Xinghe for advice?
Xinghe has created so many things for the Holy Spirit Cult, and has absolute authority in this regard.
Moreover, the power of the sky in the Milky Way contains a variety of elements, and the ideas, inspirations and insights it can provide will definitely be very suitable for her.
Gu Yuena walked up to Meng Xinghe and used the encrypted voice transmission method to start the encrypted call mode.
Meanwhile, the first squad's combat training continued.
Under Wu Changkong's arrangement, Xu Xiaoyan will face Wei Xiaofeng, Tang Wulin will face Zhang Yangzi, and Xie Xie will face Wang Jinxi...
Wei Xiaofeng wasn't very confident about facing Xu Xiaoyan.
No matter how arrogant he was, he was well aware of the prestige of the third dan in the ladder tournament.
When Xu Xiaoyan revealed two purple millennium spirit rings during the match, Wei Xiaofeng knew that he had no chance at all.
As Wei Xiaofeng had expected, he was sealed in water as smooth as a mirror by Xu Xiaoyan after the competition started. He couldn't break the seal for even ten seconds and was directly judged to have lost by the competition system.
After this battle, in everyone's mind, Xu Xiaoyan was more like a control-type Soul Master than Meng Xinghe, as she sealed Wei Xiaofeng, who was also a Great Soul Master, until the end of the match with a single move.
Facing everyone's gaze, Xu Xiaoyan smiled innocently, appearing harmless.
That was her second soul skill, "Astrology: Pisces".
Pisces, one of the twelve signs of the zodiac, has a unique ability: Water Mirror Seal.
The target is sealed with a water-based mirror. It is instantaneous and locks on. Those who cannot break the seal will be sealed forever. Those who are capable of breaking the seal will be sealed for at least 1 second. This is absolutely true.
Wei Xiaofeng's strength was such that he was unable to break the seal. If Xu Xiaoyan hadn't released him, he would have been sealed in the Water Mirror forever.
Xu Xiaoyan was able to advance to the third rank in the Heavenly Ladder Tournament thanks to this soul skill.
The rules of the Heavenly Ladder Tournament: If a Soul Master is controlled by a strong control-type Soul Skill (such as sealing, petrification, freezing, etc., which can completely disable the Soul Master's ability to move) for more than ten seconds, then the controlled Soul Master will automatically lose the match.
This rule is also used in individual competitions in the real world.
None of the opponents Xu Xiaoyan was matched with in the Heavenly Ladder Tournament whose soul power level was no more than five levels higher than hers were able to break out of the Water Mirror within ten seconds; among those who were more than five levels higher, only opponents with powerful martial souls were able to break out of the seal within ten seconds, and then they were taken down by the Star Wheel Soul Spirit that had been waiting for a long time.
