Douluo Continent: Angel Saint Huo Yuhao

Chapter 85 Ultimate Speed

First week of reserve team training.

"You seven will be randomly paired up, and the battle will begin in ten minutes," Xuanzi casually instructed, spitting out bones.

Week 2.

"Line up! I'll arrange the group members next. The battle will begin in ten minutes." Xuanzi shook his wine gourd, checking the remaining amount.

Week 3... Week 4...

The seven, still under Xuanzi's command, prepared to engage in battle.

"Mr. Xuan."

Wang Yan couldn't stand it any longer and mustered up the courage to interject.

No matter what, he was the team leader for this competition and had the right to intervene in the training of the reserve team: "Isn't it inappropriate to just let the kids fight like this?"

No tactics are planned, and no individual strengths or weaknesses or coordination methods are analyzed.

They simply arranged for a few people to be randomly combined repeatedly, relying on their own understanding to figure out tactics in battle.

Is this taking up too much time?

If the effects and application limitations of soul skills were listed from the beginning, the strengths and weaknesses of each person's data were measured, and practical analysis was added, a complete set of arena tactics could be developed in just one or two days.

The remaining time can be used for practice and to develop more tactics.

The efficiency is far greater than this model that relies solely on student self-help.

"Not suitable? Hmph...it's perfectly suitable!"

Xuanzi's mood suddenly turned somber: "A few years ago, I personally led the inner court's geniuses to hunt for spirit rings, but due to a moment of carelessness, they were attacked by a 100,000-year-old spirit beast..."

"Similar unexpected events will happen many times in their future lives, and it is impossible for them to open up to all their peers and reveal all their abilities in a short period of time."

"Only by developing the instinct to quickly adapt to the battlefield, and only by training everyone to flexibly deal with the enemy, will they achieve greater success in the future."

These words were not only spoken to Wang Yan, but also to the seven people standing on the field.

Clearly, the effect is good.

At least, apart from the absent-minded Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, everyone else put on a show of deep agreement.

"Okay~"

Xuanzi took another swig of wine, shaking off his dejected mood, and waved to the sidelines: "After so many training sessions, you have now developed basic teamwork and mutual trust. It's time to let you see the true strength of Shrek Academy!"

"Xiao Tao, bring Yueheng and the others in!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nannan, Ning Tian, ​​and the others subconsciously became serious.

At this time, the only ones who could be called up to the field were the contestants of this year's competition, the Shrek Seven Devils of this generation!
Faced with the pinnacle combination whose fame has shaken the continent for millennia, and the embodiment of Shrek Academy's millennia-long heritage, even these exceptionally talented or gifted little geniuses felt a sense of inferiority and admiration for a moment.

"Ma Xiaotao, a level 67 offensive Soul Emperor."

The fiery young woman at the head of the group calmly surveyed the surroundings, but the arrogance hidden deep within her bones was undeniable. This, combined with her cultivation level that made everyone gasp in awe, created the most stereotypical image of a genius.

“Dai Yueheng, Class of '64…”

……

"XiXi, level 56 agility attack."

Towards the end, a girl with an ordinary appearance and demeanor, pulling up her hood, suddenly became even less noticeable.

Even after the introductions were finished, the seven reserve team members only realized a beat later that they had already skipped the next person.

However, this peculiar appearance caught Xiao Xiao's attention. "Is it a special technique for using soul power?"

The purple light in Xiao Xiao's eyes flashed and disappeared, but she couldn't see clearly how the student did it.

Conceal yourself and reduce your presence.

If her attack power is high enough, this seemingly insignificant ghost could probably play a decisive role in the battle.

……

"—Just like my simulated soul skill?"

Sitting in the library, Huo Yuhao closed his book and looked at Xiao Xiao with some surprise: "And you didn't even sense any fluctuations in your mental power? You couldn't even see the other party's movements with your Purple Demon Eye activated?"

How strange!

Are there really non-mental skills in this world that resemble simulation skills? Impossible, right?

"That's why I think her move wasn't just a martial soul skill. After all, she didn't even reveal her soul rings when the battle started; she just merged into her teammates' aura and soul power fluctuations."

Xiao Xiao recalled the battle at the time: "However, after she made her move, there was something else going on: her body was so fast that it was just a blurry phantom and the lightning wrapped around her body."

"That's it~"

Huo Yuhao covered his mouth in thought, but the ferocious beast in his mind gave him the answer first.

"It should be a Lightning Leopard, right?"

In her 700,000-year lifespan, Xue Di had seen too many strange soul beasts: "These soul beasts are like the Ice Jade Scorpion. In order to pursue the ultimate improvement in a certain aspect, they have abandoned what they were originally good at - using their lightning talent to increase speed."

"Unfortunately, the bloodline strength of this type of soul beast is limited. Even if it specializes in one aspect, it can only slightly approach the ultimate level, still falling short of those truly ultimate attributes. As for the concealment technique, it should be an additional skill that the girl possessed; the Lightning Leopard does not have that ability."

Ultimate attribute?
Huo Yuhao was stunned for a few seconds: "Speed, can that be considered an attribute? And can it have a corresponding limit?"

"It's not just about achieving extreme speed."

Tianmeng lazily replied, "The auspicious beast you saw before had a portion of the Golden Dragon's bloodline within it. And the Golden Dragon is precisely a powerful dragon race with extreme power attributes."

wonderful.

I never imagined that the concept of "ultimate" would be so widespread.

Huo Yuhao's mind raced a bit more: "Then... which soul beasts on the continent truly reach the ultimate speed? How fast can they be?"

Even a Lightning Leopard nearing its peak can easily advance to a higher level; he dared not even imagine how far a higher and stronger creature could go.

"This……"

At this point, Xue Di's expression suddenly turned grim: "If we have to talk about the ultimate, then I'm afraid we have to mention—the Emerald Demon Bird!"

"These soul beasts move like the wind and lightning, and they like to eat the brains of humans and beasts. Wherever they go, corpses are strewn everywhere. In a battle between equals, ordinary soul beasts can't even see a shadow before their skulls are instantly pierced open. They are extremely terrifying."

"The only thing that can be reassuring is that these creatures are not very strong. Besides being fast, they are also extremely fragile. So after most of them were wiped out by the dragons, they almost disappeared and never again had the sweeping and slaughtering power they once had."

……

"Auspicious Beast, these two soul bones come from the Emerald Demon Bird, which was once known for its extreme speed. They are also external soul bones that can continuously improve with one's own cultivation level."

Di Tian emerged from the Lake of Life, carrying a pair of strangely shaped, emerald-green soul bones.

The Star Dou Great Forest has a long history, and in the primitive era when everything had just settled down, the Emerald Demon Bird naturally existed there as well.

There are many similar strange soul bones in the Star Dou Great Forest that have accumulated over a long period of time.
