"The most important thing for a control-type soul master is to have excellent on-the-spot adaptability. In this regard, you are not as good as me, which is why you will lose to me."
Hearing this, Dugu Yan gritted her teeth in hatred, "I haven't lost yet!"
"You lost, and it was a crushing defeat." Lü Buliang's eyes flashed with coldness, and he said sternly, "Don't you understand yet? You have maintained a large-scale poison control for such a long time, and you have consumed your soul power to mix the two poisons into a stronger poison to attack me. Now your soul power has obviously weakened. The poison mist released by such a weak soul power cannot affect me at all. You know, our soul powers are only one level apart."
"Shut up." Dugu Yan didn't have the temperament to listen to lectures. After shouting, she used all her strength to break free from the shadow.
To Lu Buliang's surprise, she broke free, not by force, but by using her mind to gather the surrounding purple poisonous fog in front of her to form an opaque barrier, blocking the light of Lu Buliang's soul ring.
When the light disappeared, the shadow under Dugu Yan's feet also disappeared, and naturally she was no longer affected by the shadow fixation.
After regaining her freedom, Dugu Yan disappeared in the fused poison mist. Only her confident voice echoed, "The red and purple poisons have become a mixed poison. I don't need to use my soul skills anymore, and there will be no soul ring light. Let's see how you can lock onto my shadow this time, Lü Buliang, don't think about controlling me in the same way again. You're the loser in this soul fight. If you don't admit defeat, you'll turn into pus under the red and purple poisons!"
After saying that, Dugu Yan, who was hiding somewhere in the poisonous fog, smiled. Her soul power at this moment was indeed very little just as Lu Buliang said. However, she no longer needed to consume her soul power. She just needed to wait quietly. In less than a minute, the mixed green phosphorus, red and purple poisons would corrode Lu Buliang's whole body, making him live a life worse than death.
However, what Dugu Yan didn't know was that Lu Buliang had been moving back and forth in areas where the toxicity was weaker. Unless his soul power was exhausted, the toxins in the poisonous fog could not harm him at all.
Soul power consumption, in game terms, is also known as mana consumption.
When playing games, Lu Buliang would always pay attention to the mana consumption of the hero character he controlled. Therefore, the moment he became a soul master, he became very sensitive to the consumption of soul power.
As a control-type soul master, one must first learn to control himself before controlling others. When it comes to controlling soul power, Lu Buliang has absolute confidence. He believes that he can create the best control effect with the least soul power consumption.
Lu Buliang was sure that he would win against Dugu Yan, precisely because Dugu Yan was not very proficient in controlling soul power. The advantage of range control soul skills was that they could control the enemy in groups, and the control effect was the same. The disadvantage was also obvious, that was that it consumed too much soul power.
Without distraction control skills like the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect to reduce soul power consumption, the range control soul skills are definitely a double-edged sword.
About a minute later, Duguyan's voice rang out in the poisonous fog, "Lü Buliang, are you dead?"
For a moment, no one responded.
Just when she was about to lift the red-purple poisonous fog that enveloped the entire fighting arena, Dugu Yan's body became unable to move again. In addition to the purple and red fog around her, there was also yellow, which was the light of the hundred-year soul ring.
Dugu Yan clearly saw that her shadow appeared again. It was caused by the light of the soul ring on Lu Buliang. Moreover, the shadow was in front, which meant that the light of the soul ring was released from behind. Lu Buliang was behind her.
Dugu Yan tried to use the same method to gather the red and purple poisonous fog in the back to form an opaque barrier in order to block the light of Lu Buliang's soul ring. Without the light shining on herself, her shadow would not appear and she would be able to get rid of the shadow fixation.
Unfortunately, Lu Buliang suddenly appeared in front of Dugu Yan from behind her, and her shadow appeared behind her due to the influence of the soul ring.
Helplessly, Dugu Yan had to change direction and used her mind to condense the surrounding poisonous fog into an opaque barrier in front of her in order to block the light of the soul ring.
At this time, Lu Buliang came to Dugu Yan's left side by exchanging the positions of the stone shadows, and then to the right side, constantly appearing and disappearing around Dugu Yan, and Dugu Yan's shadow also appeared in all directions in turn with the illumination of the soul ring.
Dugu Yan gave up. She felt that Lu Buliang was playing a trick on her. The frequent condensation of poisonous fog completely consumed the remaining soul power in her body. The poisonous fog that enveloped the entire fighting arena gradually dissipated.
The figures of Lu Buliang and Dugu Yan were clearly exposed in the sight of Yu Tianheng and others.
Looking at Dugu Gan whose shadow was frozen on the fighting arena, Oslo's face was full of disbelief, "This… Did Lü Buliang win?"
Yu Tianheng also had an expression of disbelief, "Yanyan's green phosphorus purple poison is already quite overbearing, not to mention the mixed poison. How did Lü Buliang manage to remain unharmed under Yanyan's mixed poison?"
Oslo noticed that Lü Buliang was ready to fight and was walking towards Dugu Yan, so he shouted, "Sister Yanzi, admit defeat quickly, or else, Lü Buliang will treat you to a beating! He is not a man who will show mercy to women."
"Leopard, shut up." Duguyan glanced at Oslo and said firmly, "I will never admit defeat even if I die!"
Lu Buliang came in front of Dugu Yan and stared at her quietly. At this time, Dugu Yan was still in the state of being fixed by his shadow and unable to move her body. She could only stare at Lu Buliang, feeling angry and furious, wishing he could punch him hard in the face.
"Yanzi, you are just like me, refusing to admit defeat. In that case, I can only knock you out and make you lose consciousness. However, my shadow martial spirit currently does not have a powerful attack method, so I can only use my fists and feet to knock you out. As you said, the attack power of control-type spirit masters is very weak, so it will take some time to knock you out. Don't worry, I will try my best to knock you unconscious as soon as possible, so that you will suffer less physical pain."
After saying that, Lu Buliang kicked Dugu Yan to the ground, stepped on her snake tail, and punched her hard.
Bang, boom, ah————
The sound of collision, the subtle noise of fists rubbing against the air, and Dugu Yan's screams echoed one after another on the fighting arena.
"————————"
The Nine-Hearted Begonia Martial Spirit slowly floated up into the sky, accompanied by a faint fragrance. A white light descended from the sky and turned into petals that floated down and landed on Dugu Yan.
In just a few seconds, Dugu Yan, who was beaten unconscious by Lu Buliang, recovered from her injuries and her strength was fully restored.
"Lü Buliang, you stinky bastard, even my grandfather never beat me like this————"
Angry roars suddenly came from below the fighting arena on the playground. Dugu Yan stared at Lu Buliang with resentment and unwillingness, as if she wanted to eat him alive like a python.
Lu Buliang pushed away Dugu Yan's extremely angry face that was so close to him, and said helplessly, "You refuse to admit defeat even if you die. What can I do? I can only knock you out and end the fight."
Duguyan gritted her teeth in anger, "Can't you just throw me off the stage?"
Lu Buliang's eyes lit up, "Oh, that's right, why didn't I think of that."
"Lü Buliang, how do you know so much about Yanyan's soul skills?" Yu Tianheng asked doubtfully, "If you don't have a physique that can resist poison, then it proves that you have completely predicted Yanyan's poison control. That's why you are not affected by the green phosphorus poison, am I right?"
Before Lü Buliang could reply, Ye Lingling at the side started to explain, "Well, Yanyan already knows Lü Buliang's three spirit skills. In order to make them more fair in the spirit fighting, when we went to the mimesis field to practice yesterday, I also told Lü Buliang all of Yanyan's three spirit skills."
After hearing this, Dugu Yan couldn't believe her ears and looked at Ye Lingling in surprise, "Lingling, you idiot. You usually don't like to talk, why do you have to be so talkative in front of that stinky bastard?"
"I'm sorry." Ye Lingling lowered her head guiltily, "Because Lü Buliang helped me with psychological counseling before, I also want to help him, so."
"So you betrayed your best friend?" Dugu Yan still couldn't believe that it was her best friend who betrayed her. She complained to Ye Lingling, "When Lu Buliang joined our team, I absolutely supported you and even wanted to teach him a lesson for you. Half of the reason for today's fighting spirit is because of you!"
"I'm sorry." Ye Lingling really couldn't think of any better words to express her apology.
"Okay, everyone, stop making trouble." Qin Ming came to Ye Lingling's rescue, looked at Dugu Yan, and said, "Yanzi, this defeat may not be a bad thing for you. Just accept the failure, learn from this lesson, and then make up for your shortcomings."
"No, I don't accept it. He hit me, so I have to hit him back." Dugu Yan glared at Lu Buliang again, "Come on, let's fight again."
Lu Buliang shook his head, "I am no longer interested in you."
Dugu Yan said forcefully, "I don't care if you are interested or not, I will fight you!"
"Well, then." Lu Buliang was silent for a while, then said seriously, "I can fight you again. But I have a condition."
