Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting

Chapter 462 – Counter Tactics

TL : GoldenLung

He gritted his teeth and his body suddenly lit up. All of his joints lit up and spots of purple light appeared one after another. Following that, a layer of close-fitting Battle Armor appeared.

His One-Word Battle Armor was quite simple, without any ornament. It looked like a light purple armor that covered his entire body. It emitted a faint purple halo and although it looked thin, it covered every part of his body. Even his head was covered by a helmet and there was a mask covering his face. It could be said that he was equipped up to his teeth.

With his Battle Armor on, the lightning around Yuan Rui’s body suddenly increased drastically, and his aura became different as well. He took a deep breath and charged to the side.

He didn’t charge into the snowstorm at the first moment, but sprinted in the area that wasn’t covered yet by the snowstorm.

His Berserk Lightning Leopard’s speed required a certain distance to increase. The faster his speed, the stronger his Berserk Lightning. He had to accumulate momentum and use the enhancement of his Battle Armor to accumulate electricity to its peak before charging in and unleashing it.

One could only see a purple light sprinting quickly. Right now, almost half of the arena was not covered by the blizzard, so there was still ample space for him to run.

In the blink of an eye, Yuan Rui’s trails drew a purple ring that was connected from head to tail. Under the enhancement of his Battle Armor, the entire ring began to emit a glaring electrical light. Every electrical light flickered and burst out in the air. Gradually, the electrica; light turned into an electrical dragon. The electrical energy that soared into the sky even made the blizzard unable to spread in this direction.

Zhang Yujun heaved a sigh of relief. At least this kid wasn’t too stupid. The other party was accumulating strength, and he was accumulating too. The next step was to confront them with his explosive power. Lightning was best at explosive power, and he wasn’t too worried about that. Although they might not be able to win in the collision later, they still had a chance.

He looked at Xiao Qi again and saw Xiao Qi’s smile.

“What are you laughing at?” Zhang Yujun couldn’t help but ask.

“The situation is irreversible now !”

Zhang Yujun was taken aback. Irreversible ? That’s right! Yuan Rui’s all-out explosive speed would increase his explosive power to the maximum, but at the same time, everything he did was irreversible. By using his Battle Armor to increase his attack power to the maximum, this was definitely his strongest attack.

“So what? Can your two students block it? This blizzard is just a paper tiger,” Zhang Yujun scoffed.

Xiao Qi shrugged his shoulders. “Just wait and see. But I can only tell you that his actions are within our calculations. And the tactics on our side weren’t arranged by me, but Lan Xuanyu that brat. That brat is quite something.”

Lan Xuanyu? Hearing this name, Zhang Yujun’s heart skipped a beat for some reason. He had studied Lan Xuanyu carefully before. This kid was the strongest among the first years while having the weakest cultivation, and it was said that he even became the permanent class leader. He was simply full of witts and was proficient in crafty schemes. Furthermore, he had an extremely mysterious strength. Even teachers like him had not been able to figure out his exact strength, but they had heard Yin Luohong express her admiration for him more than once. Even the Inner Court was paying close attention to Lan Xuanyu. But he was too young now, so they did not dare to spend too many resources on him right now.

It was Lan Xuanyu’s strategy? While not participating himself?

In the arena, the Lightning Leopard, Yuan Rui’s speed, had finally reached the limits of his control. The lightning converged into a gigantic vortex, and his figure was no longer visible.

All of a sudden, there was a sound resounding and all the lightning rays gathered like rivers in the sea. Yuan Rui’s figure became clear once again, but at this moment, it was as if he was completely made of lightning. His entire being had turned into a world of lightning and the explosive force produced in this instant caused Bing Tianliang’s expression to change.

Initially, Bing Tianliang thought that if they were to compare in explosive power, he might not be inferior to the other party. The only difference was him not having a Battle Armor. However, after the other party increased his speed, he realized that he was far inferior to him. This was too exaggerated. How could lightning be enhanced like this?

His Martial Soul, the Lightning God Puppet, obviously couldn’t use this method to strengthen itself. Bing Tianliang also had his own cultivation and fighting style, but from the looks of it, he was still slightly inferior to Yuan Rui. As expected of the number one among the second years ! He really should learn from him.

Everything happened in a split second. Yuan Rui, who had gathered countless lightning bolts, charged towards the blizzard.

Everyone watched attentively. Success or failure depended on this. Whether Yuan Rui was able to break through the blizzard or whether his lightning would be devoured by the ice and snow would depend on this final collision.

However, a scene that no one expected happened at this very moment. The lightning rays that filled the sky were originally converging towards a single point and were about to explode into the blizzard. But right at this moment, those lightning rays suddenly stopped. Following that, the originally solid electricity suddenly scattered in all directions.

The snowstorm was naturally impacted. The outer layer of the snowstorm was sent into a frenzy by the explosive power, and an icy mist curled up around it. However, there was no sign of a strong power breaking into the snowstorm.

Countless bolts of electricity scattered in all directions, covering the area where Yuan Rui was running previously. Although the electricity in such a vast area was strong, it was only purple lightning that lingered and crackled. But these bolts of electricity didn’t gather together or explode. Instead, it was wasted?

What was going on?

Yuan Rui’s figure appeared at the core of the lightning. He was somewhat at a loss, but he came to a realization in the next moment and his face was filled with panic.

How could this be? He had used all his strength to borrow the power of his Battle Armor to condense such a large amount of electricity. In that instant, he felt that under the pressure of this battle, the degree at which his energy was condensed had reached an unprecedented peak. That feeling of wanting to explode made him no longer have any fear in his heart and only had the desire to win.

But in the next moment, he only felt that his body was stunned and he actually couldn’t control the electricity anymore. He watched helplessly as the electricity dissipated. The speed at which he charged forward was accompanied by his stiff body sliding forward, but it was no longer under his control.

The electricity was dissipating, but the blizzard that filled the sky had already engulfed Yuan Rui.

“Control-type soul skill? Area of effect control.” Zhang Yujun suddenly recalled something.

At this moment, Yuan Rui’s figure had already disappeared into the ice fog. Within the ice fog, a series of rumblings could be heard. But everyone knew that Yuan Rui was swept into the blizzard after losing his most advantageous attack.

Zhang Yujun opened his mouth and wanted to say the word ‘despicable’, but he didn’t say it out loud. He recalled what ability it was. It seemed to be a Martial Soul Fusion skill that could be unleashed by Lan Xuanyu and Dong Qianqiu at the beginning. Dong Qianqiu seemed to have used it alone later on, but it was under the enhancement of Lan Xuanyu’s silver-patterned Blue Silver Grass.

At this moment, Lan Xuanyu wasn’t on the battlefield, which meant that Dong Qianqiu could actually use that soul skill by herself too ?

Deep Blue Gaze! Super strong control soul skill.

The blizzard had been accumulating and Deep Blue Gaze had been waiting, waiting for the moment when Yuan Rui would explode. Whether it was at the beginning or at this moment, what awaited him was the control of Deep Blue Gaze, restraining his outburst to turn into nothing.
