Douluo Dalu: Golden Spirit Tree

Chapter 81 Lin Yi's Combat Wisdom

Beibei's absorption was much smoother than Tang Ya had imagined. In just less than an hour, Beibei finished and completed the absorption of the soul ring.

The blue lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex possessed the body, and both arms turned into dragon claws, while the sleeves on both sides turned into ashes.

From the torn parts of the clothes, one can vaguely see that Beibei's entire body seems to be covered with dragon scales, but compared to the thick and angular dragon scales on his arms, the ones on his body are much thinner.

The tyrannical dragon might unconsciously covered the entire arena, which was several times stronger than the three-ring period. It was just unknown whether it was obtained by absorbing the soul ring to strengthen the true dragon bloodline, or by freeing part of the dragon body and transforming one arm into a dragon again, or both.

Four soul rings, one yellow, two purple and one black, that surpass the optimal soul ring ratio appeared, Soul Master, Beibei!

But at this time, Beibei had no time to carefully feel his gains. The confusion in his heart had reached its peak, even surpassing the joy of being promoted to Soul Sect.

"Ayi, how did you do that?"

Tang Ya and Huo Yuhao couldn't help but look at Lin Yi curiously. They could still vividly remember Tang Ya's embarrassment when she absorbed the silver scale grass beyond her limit. If Lin Yi hadn't said something, Tang Ya would have failed to absorb the soul ring and been seriously injured.

What Beibei absorbed this time was three times the theoretical limit. According to common sense, the Soul Sect could only absorb soul rings for a maximum of five thousand years.

What's more, what Beibei absorbed was a ten thousand year soul ring produced by a real dragon.

But even in such an incredible situation, Beibei absorbed it so smoothly!

Even when Lin Yi did not intervene or assist at all.

No one would think that Beibei was good enough, this was obviously Lin Yi's work.

The same doubts swirled in the minds of the three people:
How did he do it?
Seeing this, Lin Yi did not hide it and explained while leading a few people out of the Xingdou Great Forest.

As it was getting dark, the mixed zone was not safe, so it was better to leave early.

On the way, Lin Yi also began his own explanation.

"In fact, the outcome of this battle was already determined at the beginning."

"What did I do at the beginning? Do you remember?"

"Release your aura?"

"I told you everything, at the beginning."

The three of them shook their heads in confusion.

"It's about observing and analyzing intelligence."

Seeing that the three were still confused but trying hard to think, Lin Yi had no choice but to tell them all his tactical intentions.

"First of all, when I saw the Purple Lightning Bright Dragon, I said that its bloodline had returned to its ancestral lineage. Once its dragon wings grow, it will be a true dragon. So, do you think there is anything I can do with it? Considering my martial spirit."

The three of them pondered for a moment, and Bei Bei asked tentatively, "Let his bloodline evolve so that I can gain more benefits?"

Lin Yi rolled his eyes. "Why would you need to explain such an obvious purpose?"

Beibei smiled awkwardly but didn't dare to refute.

"Yuhao, do you know?"

“Huh?” Huo Yuhao was startled when his name was suddenly called out, his eyes flickering a few times. “Consumption?”

Lin Yi nodded in satisfaction. The son of destiny still had some brains. "Yes, it's about consumption. With the enhancement of my ultimate light attribute, I'm forcing its bloodline to evolve, increasing its consumption. However, I didn't expect the consumption of evolving into a True Dragon to be so great, nearly draining its essence completely. This actually saved me a lot of effort."

"Back to what happened earlier, Beibei. You mentioned aura. Why do you think I raised my aura to its peak?"

"To gain the initiative?"

"I'm facing a ten-thousand-year-old earth dragon. What makes you think my aura can overwhelm it and allow me to take the initiative? Great-grandson, I told you to study more, but you didn't listen!"

Beibei was a little embarrassed to be treated like this by his girlfriend and the junior apprentice he had just acknowledged, but since they were all his friends, he endured the humiliation...

Lin Yi didn't pursue the matter relentlessly. He just said it out of habit of arguing with Bei Bei, but now he realized what was going on and stopped talking immediately. No matter how close the relationship was, there was still some propriety and bottom line that had to be maintained.

So he said seriously, "After observing and analyzing the intelligence, we can basically draw a conclusion. This ten-thousand-year-old Purple Lightning Bright Brilliant Dragon is extremely powerful. Even when facing an ordinary fifty- to sixty-thousand-year-old soul beast, it can gain the upper hand and even defeat it."

According to Lin Yi's estimation, this bright purple dragon was definitely better than the purple shadow lion in the previous soul hunting operation in the inner courtyard, and even far exceeded it. The dragon bloodline was not something that the lion bloodline could challenge, but because of a strange fate, they were defeated by the "Aurora Finger".

"Faced with such a powerful soul beast, I believe it is easy to judge that I cannot defeat it. Even if my combat power is not inferior to that of a Soul Emperor, I am no match for this Purple Lightning Bright Dragon."

"However, compared to spirit beasts, humans excel in wisdom. Finding and understanding the enemy's weaknesses and attacking them is what's called combat wisdom, and it's the essence of it."

"The Purple Lightning Bright Dragon has no major weaknesses in terms of attack, defense, or even speed. The only thing it can use is the bulge on its back that appears due to its ancestral bloodline returning to its roots."

"So, my battles basically revolve around it. First, I release my aura to make it pay attention to me and not attack rashly, buying time for me to prepare. At the same time, I also allow it to actively activate its own bloodline to prepare for the future."

"Once preparations are complete, we'll force it to complete its bloodline transformation. Regardless of the outcome, success or failure, the outcome will be favorable to us. The Purple Lightning Bright Dragon will inevitably fall into a weakened state. This must be carefully considered in advance. My personal habit is to consider defeat before considering victory, and to ensure that even the worst possible outcome is acceptable."

"After you've thought it through, you can take action. We're lucky it succeeded, consuming a lot of energy and essence. Even if I didn't take action, it would have died. I just accelerated the process."

"At the same time, facing a Purple Lightning Bright Brilliant Dragon that has successfully transformed into a dragon, a head-on confrontation is obviously impossible. Therefore, roaming is a safer option, especially in this situation."

"Then, we'll use harassment tactics to continuously drain the enemy's blood. Once they're weakened to a certain degree, we'll take them down in one fell swoop."

"This is the entire process of the battle."

The three of them suddenly realized and couldn't help but praise Lin Yi's combat wisdom. He was able to think through all of this and put it into action in such a short time. It was amazing, really amazing.

Lin Yi naturally accepted all the compliments, his eyes full of pride.

If he doesn't want to show his power in front of others, why would he waste so much time and effort on this?

Beibei's summary basically revealed the essence of Lin Yi's battle, "So, you are just acting as the Purple Lightning Bright Dragon."

Indeed, it was the full momentum, the golden staff, all the strength and so on. To put it bluntly, it was to make the Purple Lightning Bright Dragon mistakenly believe that Lin Yi was a threat, forcing it to attack with all its strength and increase consumption.

But Beibei suddenly asked, "Then why did you keep the Purple Lightning Bright Dragon alive? And why was it so easy for me to absorb it? Is there any connection between them?"

Hearing this, Lin Yi's expression suddenly became a little embarrassed.

"This one……"

"Because some of my previous tactics may have had too much impact, the resentment of the Purple Lightning Bright Dragon was too strong. According to what Guangming told me at the time, I estimate that you may not be able to survive the soul shock."

"Then why..."
