Douluo: Wuhun Eats Iron Beast, Never Become a Slave

Chapter 160 Instantaneous Shadow Assassination (Part Two)
"Instant Shadow Assassination? That name sounds familiar..."

Zhao Mu murmured.

Seeing Zhao Mu say this, Zhu Zhuqing's usually cold face showed a rare smile: "Is that so? Although it is just a skill, I think it is the most suitable skill for me, or even the most suitable skill for agility-type Soul Masters."

As she spoke, Zhu Zhuqing explained the Instant Shadow Kill technique to Zhao Mu in detail, without holding anything back.

"With the Instant Shadow Strike skill, I can leave a mark clone in place while instantly dashing to the enemy's side."

"Mark the enemy and deal damage to them. You can then choose to stay with the enemy or switch places and return to your original position."

"Furthermore, after returning to the original location or attacking the enemy, you can choose to detonate the marker to deal the same secondary damage to the enemy!"

After listening to Zhu Zhuqing describe the effects of her 100,000-year-old soul skill, Zhao Mu couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, "How true!"

If that's really the case, then it's indeed the most suitable skill for agility-based Soul Masters.

Moreover, the damage, displacement, and ability to change position all indicate that this skill is quite valuable.

“Perfect, use me as your target to test your soul skills,” Zhao Mu said to Zhu Zhuqing.

"Huh? You're the target? I can test my soul skills on another object. You don't need to take the risk!" Zhu Zhuqing didn't expect Zhao Mu to want to practice with her, so she quickly refused.

Zhao Mu, however, didn't seem to care and said, "You don't think I'm not good enough to be your sparring partner, do you? What can you test by using those inanimate objects as targets? Don't worry, since I dare to say this, I naturally have plenty of ways to deal with it."

Seeing Zhao Mu's insistence, Zhu Zhuqing no longer refused and decisively chose to take action.

Zhu Zhuqing is that kind of person; once she decides to do something, she won't have any other thoughts in mind.

Testing skills with real people is definitely much better than attacking rocks and trees; the understanding and feedback on skills will also be more realistic.

Zhu Zhuqing immediately lowered her body, spread her hands apart, and under the possession of the Netherworld Cat, the fourth blood-red soul ring under her feet emitted a dazzling red light.

In a short moment, Zhu Zhuqing left only a black mist shadow in place, and then she instantly appeared next to Zhao Mu.

With a flick of her fingers, Zhu Zhuqing unleashed a sharp blade, her hands moving swiftly towards Zhao Mu's claws.

Since it was to test Zhu Zhuqing's soul skills, Zhao Mu only symbolically blocked them. After deflecting Zhu Zhuqing's two attacks, he was hit by her subsequent combo.

Wow!
Having landed a successful blow, Zhu Zhuqing's follow-up attacks were relentless, and soon Zhao Mu's clothes were torn open, with blood gushing out.

Just then, a sharp, cold glint appeared and struck Zhao Mu's neck.

This time, Zhao Mu didn't indulge Zhu Zhuqing anymore. Instead, he was quick and precise, grabbing her wrist from amidst her flurry of movements and throwing her away.

"You don't mean to kill me, do you?"

Zhu Zhuqing was light-footed, and Zhao Mu did not use much force, so it was not difficult for Zhu Zhuqing to land lightly.

"You said you would test my moves and go all out," Zhu Zhuqing said, trying to defend herself.

Zhu Zhuqing had indeed aimed for his vitals, but Zhao Mu hadn't sensed any killing intent, which was why he had simply tossed her away lightly. If she had truly intended to kill him, the consequences would have been far more severe.

Seeing that Zhao Mu did not pursue the matter further, Zhu Zhuqing continued to unleash her fourth soul skill on Zhao Mu.

This time, however, he did not charge forward again. Instead, he formed a hand seal and, with a soft shout, Zhao Mu's injuries instantly burst open once more.

This left Zhao Mu somewhat embarrassed.

However, during the process of testing Zhu Zhuqing's 100,000-year soul skill on his own, Zhao Mu also gained a clearer understanding of Instant Prison Shadow Kill.

First, there's Zhu Zhuqing's attack. Instant Shadow Kill doesn't enhance Zhu Zhuqing's attack power, so the attacks she launches when she teleports to her side are just her own normal attacks.

However, the Narcissus Jade Bone and Muscle also has the effect of strengthening one's physical attributes. Therefore, with the strengthening of the Narcissus Jade Bone and Muscle, Zhu Zhuqing's normal attack power is not much less than that of a level 50 Soul King. Of course, if it can be combined with Soul Skill attacks, the effect will be even better.

The secondary damage from the final explosion of the mark can indeed be unexpected, and if used well, it could yield good results.

As Zhao Mu evaluated Zhu Zhuqing's soul skill, Zhu Zhuqing vanished instantly, then returned to her original starting point.

At this point, Zhu Zhuqing had demonstrated all of her 100,000-year-old soul skills.

"The damage of the second stage of Instant Shadow Strike depends on how much damage your first attack dealt to the enemy. Therefore, your next upgrade should focus on increasing your own attack power, or you could consider obtaining a clone skill."

"At least for now, among your previous three soul skills, the Netherworld Hundred Claws, which can launch multiple attacks on the enemy in a short period of time with its rapid body rotation and the penetrating power of cat claws, is the most suitable skill to pair with Instant Shadow Kill."

While Zhao Mu was analyzing, Zhu Zhuqing was also pondering. The second soul skill, Netherworld Hundred Claws, was only a hundred-year soul skill. Although it was not as strong as the thousand-year third soul skill, Netherworld Slash, Netherworld Hundred Claws had the advantage of being fast, having more attacks, and accumulating more damage. Therefore, it was more suitable to be paired with Instant Shadow Kill than Netherworld Slash.

"Clone skill".

The clone skill is actually similar in nature to the Netherworld Hundred Claws skill; it simply increases the cumulative damage through the number of clones.

For a moment, Zhu Zhuqing felt that Zhao Mu's analysis was very accurate. At least compared to his previous guidance at Shrek Academy, Zhao Mu's advice was much clearer than Yu Xiaogang's.

At the same time, the more shining qualities Zhao Mu demonstrates, the more grateful Zhu Zhuqing will be for her choice.

However, as if suddenly remembering something, Zhu Zhuqing said to Zhao Mu, "Your injuries... let me treat them for you first."

Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing still cared about his injuries, it seems that this cold woman also has a delicate side.

However, Zhao Mu shook his head slightly: "The next moment, the claw marks on Zhao Mu's body quickly closed and healed in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes. In just over ten seconds, all of Zhao Mu's injuries were healed."

Whether it's the rapid healing of his fifth soul skill or the recovery of his right leg bone from the Blue Silver Emperor skill, both are extremely powerful healing skills. Now that the two complement each other, Zhao Mu's healing ability has become even more terrifying.

Seeing Zhao Mu's exaggerated healing abilities, Zhu Zhuqing finally felt completely relieved.

However, Zhu Zhuqing, who had not yet dispelled the spirit possession, said to Zhao Mu, "Although it is presumptuous of me, I want to see your full strength and let me know the gap between us."
