Douluo Continent: Not enough bloodline? Make up for it with brains!

Xu Yuan six months ago?

Trash ears~~~

"Don't be careless. Since this is an assessment, it certainly won't be that simple. After all, you've only been cultivating for a year before, and now, half a year has passed, so your strength has increased significantly. It shouldn't be difficult for you to defeat yourselves from six months ago," Shen Yi reminded them, observing their expressions.

Seeing Xu Lizhi's tense yet relaxed state followed by renewed anxiety, Shen Yi felt great.

Ye Xinglan was alright, her expression remained rather indifferent, but Xu Lizhi's feelings were completely written on his face.

"This time, your assessment will be conducted in the Soul Arena." Shen Yi explained the content of the assessment: "Remember the Soul Arena? Your opponents are completely simulated. Although the data is collected from real Soul Masters, the projection during the battle is generated by the system."

Man-machine.

As we all know, AI can be very weak and unreliable, or it can be incredibly powerful and unsolvable...

Xu Yuan quickly grasped this point.

Sure enough, that's what Shen Yi said too.

"Although it's you guys from six months ago, the projection team will be very strong in combat skills."

Xu Lizhi's chubby face was already swollen with worry, but he clearly hadn't realized where the real difficulty lay.

"Teacher, what aspects are included in combat skills?" Xu Yuan asked.

Shen Yi's eyes curved into a sly smile.

"Apart from the basic physical and spiritual qualities, all other abilities are included in the techniques."

Ye Xinglan's expression finally changed noticeably; she felt immense pressure.

Do techniques and sword intent count...?

Do purely self-created soul skills or ultimate techniques count?

Xu Yuan thought about it more deeply.

He could already picture the scene of fighting something disguised as him, a creature that could control cranes and capture dragons with ease, whose movements were like ghostly shadows, and whose eyes glowed purple...

It's really annoying to the eyes.

what--

Wait a minute!

Xu Yuan was suddenly taken aback.

How realistic is the simulation of the Soul Arena?

Will it simulate the entire meridian structure of a Soul Master?

Chapter 56 You ban me, I ban you, it's fair!

Soul fighting field.

Xu Yuan was very disappointed.

Although the Soul Arena simulates various data of Soul Masters, it cannot fully simulate the deeper levels of meridians.

The ultimate techniques mastered by the projection are merely simulations of the characteristics, effects, and soul power consumption during the system's deduction of soul power operation.

Yes, it's just like I've really mastered it.

Looking inside, there was nothing there, not even the circulation of soul power.

This assessment even included both individual and team evaluations.

The team assessment was naturally a three-person team battle, while in the individual assessments, Xu Yuan and Ye Xinglan were tasked with defeating their past selves from six months ago, while Xu Lizhi had to withstand the 'attacks' of his past self from six months ago for ten minutes...

Seeing his own eyes turning purple across from him, Xu Yuan had no choice but to take it seriously.

"Let me see how much the Tang Clan's unique skills can arm me."

Xu Yuan made the first move.

The projected eyes shone with a rich purple light, clearly indicating that the Purple Demon Eyes had reached an extremely high level.

Having acquired the Five Elements Spear Spirit and integrated it into the Heavenly Origin Spear form, Xu Yuan thrust out with his spear, a golden spear light piercing through the tip.

The projected feet moved like phantoms, easily dodging the shot.

The spear danced continuously, its light bursting forth along Xu Yuan's spear, but the projection dodged it all.

I got the Tianyuan Pen.

The projection wielded the Heavenly Yuan Brush, causing the power of water and fire to converge, collide, and rotate, eventually exploding violently.

The wind element stirred, completely confining the explosion's damage within a certain space, directing the damage entirely towards Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan fully unleashed his mental energy, observing the opponent's execution of this technique.

The flow of soul power within the meridians is not visible, but the skill in manipulating elemental power is undeniable.

Xu Yuan also summoned the Heavenly Origin Brush and wielded it with his left hand.

Despite his powerful mental strength and somewhat clumsy manipulation of elements, a thick earthen wall still rose up instantly, blocking Xu Yuan's path.

Was Xu Yuan's technique clumsy?

No, his mastery of elemental power is unmatched, not only by his peers but even by many Soul Masters.

However, the projection on the other side has a higher level of skill in elemental power.

"This assessment itself also includes rewards."

Xu Yuan's strength has improved significantly, and even the projection with advanced techniques cannot defeat him.

Furthermore, with the help of his powerful mental strength, Xu Yuan continued to learn elemental techniques of projection during battles.

......

The battle lasted for a long time.

Xu Lizhi persevered for eleven minutes and barely passed the test.

Ye Xinglan defeated the projection in fifteen minutes.

However, half an hour has passed, and Xu Yuan has not yet finished the battle.

"Brother Yuan won't fail, will he?" Xu Lizhi frowned, his tone slightly worried.

......

Soul fighting field.

Xu Yuan's soul power was greatly depleted.

The opposing projection also consumed a huge amount of soul power.

Seemingly for the final wave, the projection's momentum underwent a dramatic change in an instant.

The stance and intent of the spear.

This time, he did not imitate everything Xu Yuan did.

The spear thrust was unstoppable, but unlike Xu Yuan's fearless momentum, this spear thrust seemed to carry an incomparably domineering feeling.

One is in the process of pioneering and forging ahead, while the other is already invincible.

The intent of the gun is to sever all ties.

Ban everything!

Xu Yuan felt that at this moment, his mental power, which was his trump card, was being targeted, locked by this gun intent, and was so intimidated that he could not mobilize it.

The shot came very quickly.

Very abrupt!

Xu Yuan had considered that the projection might be equipped with a fully formed spear intent to increase the difficulty, but he did not expect it to be this kind of spear intent.

Who the hell is the source of this gun-wielding intent?

It's just like an air ban!

In an instant, Xu Yuan knew who the spear intent came from.

Fortunately, the teachers were a little off.

Xu Yuan's blood was boiling.

My gun is actually more suitable to be activated by the power of Qi and blood!

With his blood and qi surging, Xu Yuan instantly unleashed all his energy, and a surge of energy rose around him.

Qi and blood are perfectly integrated into the Five Elements Spear Spirit.

Even with his spear's power taken away and the surrounding world no longer offering its support, Xu Yuan remained fearless.

This shot was decisive.

......

"Such strong Qi and blood!"

Several senior officials, including Cai Yue'er, were watching the assessment.
