BXBX NOVEL Chapter 191 - Button Bomb
Chapter 191: Button Bomb
To be more precise, it was a button bomb. His first soul skill was even more interesting, something called Explosion Isolation. It was an extremely strong defensive skill that was able to defend against any shockwave-related attacks. It was even able to completely defend against his own button bomb explosives that he released.
His second Soul Power was basically a button bomb thrown with powerful explosive capabilities; it relied on exhausting his Soul Power.
Niu Yiwei’s biggest dream was not to enter Shrek Academy, but to enter the Tang Sect. The Tang Sect, which had ten thousand years of history, had a special technique called the Hidden Weapon Hundred Separation. He yearned to learn the method, as it would greatly improve his own strength. However, it was too difficult to enter the Tang Sect, so Shrek Academy could be considered a shortcut. After all, the two were deeply related.
At this moment, his Button bombs were fully being put to use. Even Bing Tianliang was surprised; his two teammates had turned tail without hesitation and sped off in different directions.
Bing Tianliang’s second soul ring lit up, and his entire body suddenly lengthened. His original height of around 1.6 meters suddenly increased to 2 meters. With a faint purple light surrounding him, his elongated body appeared somewhat strange.
His figure flickered and suddenly twisted violently. He started shuttling back and forth like a bolt of lightning within the explosion. The shockwaves produced by the explosion seemed to streak past him. After flickering twice, he arrived before Niu Yiwei.
Niu Yiwei reacted quickly, as his third soul ring lit up. He threw black buttons to his sides and revealed another white button in his palm. The white button suddenly exploded right in his hand.
A glaring light followed by a powerful force suddenly blossomed around him.
Third soul skill, Dazzling Explosion Button.
This was a 1,000-year soul skill, and also Niu Yiwei’s strongest soul skill. The Dazzling Explosion Button not only produced an extremely powerful light but also an omni-directional pushing force. It had a similar effect to the fire resistance rings that some Soul Masters had, granting an all-rounded defense. Paired with his Explosion Isolation, it was an extremely powerful self preservation ability.
At a glance, it looked as though Bing Tianliang was about to capture Niu Yiwei with his purplish lightning palm, but then the sudden dazzling explosion caused him to lose his vision. He had no choice but to recoil backwards before he was once again sent flying by the force from the Dazzling Explosion Button!
The explosive power of the other button bombs were sufficient in blocking the others and preventing them from approaching. In time, Niu Yiwei was able to rely on his own strength and resist six people from Ling Tian Academy.
This was something no one could have expected.
Inwardly, though, Niu Yiwei was cursing. His Martial Soul was most proficient in mid range battles and was rarely seen amongst Soul Masters; however, his Soul Power consumption was extremely high. Every button was formed by the Soul Power within his body, and by releasing them wantonly without holding back, his own Soul Power had plummeted at a rapid rate.
His teacher had once mentioned to him that before reaching his seventh ring and gaining the Soul Power vortex, his greatest limitation would be in his Soul Power consumption.
He could only look forward to it. By relying on the opportunity gained from resisting the group, his teammates were able to escape further.
Right at this moment at the other side, another battle was at its close.
“Bang!” The Gold Silk Ape unleashed a powerful punch, furiously turning a severely injured Soul Master into white light that disappeared into the air. At this moment, only one opponent stood before it. It was Liang Shushi, who had previously gone to look for Bing Tianliang.
And standing before Liang Shushi was another person, Lan Xuanyu.
The Gold Silk Ape’s entire body was brimming with gold light as it stood with its immense body and peered down like a demon descending to the mortal world. As for Lan Xuanyu, he was constantly changing directions and craftily dodging Liang Shushi’s endless stabs. He shot out ice blades and awls from his hand in an attempt to disrupt the other party and prevent her from escaping.
When Niu Yiwei and the rest had discovered the Gold Silk Ape, they instantly went after it. And when Ling Tian Academy’s group of nine discovered Niu Yiwei’s team of three, how could they not discover the ‘injured’ 1,000-year soul beast?
Hence, Bing Tianliang immediately chose a group to hunt and kill the Gold Silk Ape, while he led the other five to surround Niu Yiwei’s team.
Liang Shushi and Bing Tianliang grew up together. To be able to be the leaders of their respective groups meant they were naturally strong individually. She wielded three rings, while her teammates were at the peak of two rings. Although her team was slightly weaker compared to the other two, they were still ranked among the best in the qualifiers.
However, they never would have thought that the Gold Silk Ape they were chasing after was not only completely sane, but was also roughly 3,000 year old in terms of cultivation.
Not only that, but there was also a Soul Master by the Gold Silk Ape’s side, a relatively strong Soul Master.
Liang Shushi was sure that the Gold Silk Ape was not a summon, for it was impossible for even Bing Tianliang to control such a Spirit Soul! And the Gold Silk Ape looked to be extremely tangible, how could it be a Spirit Soul?
Nevertheless, she was unable to figure out why the soul beast would team up with humans. She recognized Lan Xuanyu’s clothes, which signified that he was from Heaven Luo Academy.
Whenever the trio approached the Gold Silk Ape, it would immediately counterattack. Under the buff from the golden patterned Blue Silver Grass, the strength that erupted from its body was something no ordinary 3,000 year soul beast could obtain. Under its all out attack, it quickly cleaned up Liang Shushi’s teammate.
Lan Xuanyu only lended his support from the sidelines by strengthening the Gold Silk Ape while simultaneously using ice awls and blades to disrupt the battle.
How could Liang Shushi not attribute the Gold Silk Ape’s strength to him? She naturally thought of dealing with him first, but Lan Xuanyu’s bizarre footwork allowed him to avoid bumping into her as he continued to dodge and rely on ice walls, ice shields, and water element related attacks to resist her.
In just a few moments, the Gold Silk Ape managed to kill off her other teammate.
Seeing how dire the situation had become, Liang Shushi immediately screamed, seeking help from Bing Tianliang, who was on the other side.
“You’re the champion from the qualifiers!” Liang Shushi stared at Lan Xuanyu with cold eyes.
Lan Xuanyu shrugged. “You’re right,” he said, not stopping the movement of his hands. The Gold Silk Ape leaped into the air again. Knowing nothing about being gentler to the opposite gender, it jumped straight for Liang Shushi.
Liang Shushi knew that she could not outrun the ape-type soul beast. Running at this point would only be suicide, so she placed all her hopes on Bing Tianliang being able to quickly handle things on his end and coming to save her. However, she faintly guessed that the appearance of the human and soul beast was no coincidence. Her team might have fallen into a trap.
At this moment, she subconsciously regretted screaming before.
The third soul ring on Liang Shushi’s body lit up as she brandished stingers on both arms. A layer of icy blue light enveloped her body, and her eyes took on the same color.
Her Martial Soul was called Diffracting Light. She was an offense type Soul Master wielding extremely strong offense abilities, but unfortunately, she was not very proficient in defense.
Tiptoeing, she suddenly shot forward and performed a clever spin in the air, dodging not only Lan Xuanyu’s ice awl but also the Gold Silk Ape’s powerful punch.
Third Soul skill, Flicker of Diffraction!
Her speed was instantly raised by a 100%, and at the same time, her destructibility also improved by 100%, resulting in her breaking the speed of the sound barrier.
She was aware that it was difficult for her to escape, as the soul beast in front of her was controlled by the people from Heaven Luo Academy. Having a firm character, she preferred to sacrifice herself here by inflicting serious damage to the Gold Silk Ape in front of her, before allowing Bing Tianliang to deal with them with ease. Additionally, she also knew that if she chose to try to escape, the only way to do so was also to first inflict a heavy injury onto the Gold Silk Ape.
