Douluo Continent, my martial soul is a mushroom.

Chapter 51 Severed Arm, Seeking Help

Whether it's a dream or an illusion, it's all about manipulating the mind.

In that instant, the quickest and most effective method that Ikehira could think of was suicide.

Use the most intense death stimulus to escape the illusion, and then rely on intuitive focus to break free from the emotional abyss of death.

Failure is possible, and failure leads to self-destruction, but success is also possible, and success offers a glimmer of hope!

—I can't let that person kill me in the illusion; I have to do it myself.

Because at that time, they possessed the means to cause mental harm.

……

Cold yet fiery, silent yet passionate!

Death is not just the end, but also a new beginning.

Upon emerging from the dream, Chi Ping did not hesitate at all. He connected with the mycelium, and his soul power instantly surged!

Intuitive locking activates a multi-threaded thinking mode.

—You only have one chance!

Blood and qi surged, boundless soul power was fully loaded, and elemental power was output at full power!

Demon King's Armament - Desperate Strike -

Ikehira's combat skills are all based on the Six Styles he developed himself. The Six Styles are physical techniques, and most physical techniques have a drawback: it is difficult to achieve a fatal blow.

He realized this as early as when he obtained his third spirit ring and couldn't kill the Azure Water Crocodile even after sticking his hand into its head.

The Six Elements Techniques originated from this, and the Demon King Armor and the Fungal Dharma Form were born from it.

The Six Elements Techniques amplify the six techniques using elemental power.

The Demon King's Armor transforms the mycelium suit into a mycelium exoskeleton armor, powered by unlimited soul power and elemental force, greatly amplifying physical attack power and destructive force. Advantages: Quick activation, usable anytime, anywhere; the mycelium is undamaged and reusable; Disadvantages: Limited elemental storage, limited duration, and limited amplification.

Fungal Manifestation: Constructs a mecha giant from the mycelium of an entire city, unleashing high-damage elemental attacks in mecha giant form using the elemental power accumulated from the mycelium. Advantages: Powerful destructive force, can be charged; Disadvantages: Slow activation (but can be prepared in advance), cannot be used outside the mycelium's range, and using the attack will cause the mycelium to be unable to withstand the damage and be destroyed (it explodes while attacking).

The enemy was only Shi Nian, but Chi Ping didn't know what defensive measures Shi Nian had, how strong he was, whether Dai Mubai and the others were in danger, or how long they could hold out.

He doesn't have much time, and he only has one chance.

The elemental power accumulated by the fungal mycelium on the ground was carried by the Demon King Armor and released using the principle of accumulation and explosion of the Shave technique, resulting in a world-shaking blow!

If the mycelium cannot withstand the strain, it will share the burden with its own flesh, regardless of the cost, in a life-or-death struggle!

This is the ultimate technique!

reality.

An unnamed, deserted alley in Tiandou City.

Shi Nian felt as if her head had been smashed, and she temporarily lost her ability to think.

Five meters in front of him, the Shrek members lay sprawled on the ground, each with the same pained expression on their face as Shi Nian.

Shi Nian was a mentally twisted pervert, a pervert who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

He wanted his academy to achieve a better ranking, not to make his students stronger, but to kill the outstanding students from other academies.

Since the Five Elements Academy all had powerful backgrounds and were not to be trifled with, he set his sights on Shrek Academy, a dark horse with no powerful background.

Shi Nian was a spirit-type soul master, so Chi Ping discovered his killing intent but couldn't pinpoint his location.

Chi Ping had been on high alert for seven days, but Shi Nian still managed to find an opportunity to lure Flander and the other two away, giving him the chance to strike.

However, Chi Ping's countermeasures were somewhat effective. Shi Nian's hasty activation of his Martial Soul True Body failed to lure the eight Shrek Seven Devils out of the city. He could only find an empty alley in the city to make his move. Here, Shi Nian had to restrain himself.

Killing him outright is not an option. There are always oversights. Once discovered, Shi Nian will face certain death. The Empire will not let him and his Canghui Academy off the hook.

Therefore, Shi Nian could only torment Chi Ping and the others in his dreams, driving them to madness and self-destruction to cover up the traces. Moreover, to prevent others from discovering the deception over time, Shi Nian had to personally speed things up.

Adhering to the principle of tackling the difficult tasks first, Ikehira was the first to take action that year.

Then he crashed.

Shi Nian used his Martial Soul True Body to trap Chi Ping in a dream, then connected his spirit with Chi Ping's and entered the dream to torment him. However, he did not expect Chi Ping to discover his methods so quickly, and to choose to commit suicide in the dream to escape without any hesitation.

Through the mental connection, Shi Nian inevitably received the "death" message unconsciously emitted by Chi Ping.

This resulted in Shi Nian being forced to stay in one place and unable to move.

Dai Mubai and his group of seven suffered mental anguish from the "death" information from Shi Nian, but since they were experiencing "second-hand" information, the intensity was much lower, which actually helped them break free from the dream.

However, Ikehira was unaware of this information.

He had no time to consider Shi Nian's condition; his companion was in imminent danger, so he had no choice but to unleash a desperate attack!

Using his soul power, Chi Ping rose to his feet and unleashed a strike like lightning. In the next instant, Chi Ping stopped behind Shi Nian, his left hand grasping a charred head, leaving behind a headless corpse.

With a sigh of relief, Chi Ping finally relaxed, but the aftershocks of "death" caught up with him, and he collapsed.

About two minutes later, Tang San and Zhu Zhuqing woke up one after the other.

"Where are we...?"

"What happened?"

The two looked at each other, both seeing confusion in each other's eyes.

——Xiao Wu!

—Mu Bai!

The two hurriedly looked around.

Then they saw the headless corpse lying on the ground, and Chi Ping, who was almost naked and lying on the ground holding a black head, and his lover breathing steadily beside him.

After confirming that Xiao Wu and Dai Mubai were safe and sound, Tang San and Zhu Zhuqing came to Chi Ping's side.

Just one glance was enough to make the two of them gasp.

His capillaries ruptured all over his body, and dark blood clots replaced the whiteness of his skin. His left arm was completely devoid of flesh and blood, leaving only bare white bones, with finger bones stuck in a piece of charcoal that could barely be identified as a human head.

"Hmm... what's wrong with us?"

Oscar and Ning Rongrong woke up at that moment.

"Xiao Ao, Rongrong, come quick and help!"

"oh oh."

Before they could figure out what was going on, Tang San and Zhu Zhuqing immediately called them over.

"What happened? Why are you all so panicked, Ping-ge!"

Oscar never imagined that Tang San and Zhu Zhuqing would be so flustered, their voices trembling with tears, until he saw Chi Ping's appearance.

"Ping-ge, what's wrong? Don't scare me!"

Oscar's voice trembled as he tried to help Chi Ping, but his hands shook so badly he dared not touch him.

"Big sausage!" Tang San shouted.

"I have a big sausage!"

Enduring the mental anguish, Oscar chanted a soul incantation, and the giant sausage reappeared in his hand.

"Quick, feed it to Brother Ping!"

Tang San pried open Chi Ping's mouth, and with each opening and closing, the giant sausage was fed into it.

No effect.

"How could this happen!"

Just as the four were in a state of panic, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Xiao Wu woke up one after another.

But after discovering Ikehira's condition, they also fell into chaos.

"Stop!" Dai Mubai forced back his tears.

His bond with Chi Ping was the deepest. Five years of living and working together, it was Chi Ping who inspired him, helped him regain his confidence, and found the strength to defy fate. No one was more grateful to Chi Ping than Dai Mubai.

Dai Mubai was heartbroken by Chi Ping's injuries.

But he is the eldest brother, and with Ikebe seriously injured, he must take on the responsibility.

"Rongrong, take us to your father. Teacher Shao didn't come; he's the only one who can save Pingzi! Xiao Ao, you take Pingzi and that corpse. Tang San, take Xiao Wu and Fatty to the Dean!"

Dai Mubai looked at Zhu Zhuqing, "Zhuqing, use the Martial Soul Fusion Technique!"

"good!"

The two embraced, their breaths mingling, and a powerful surge of soul energy spread outwards.

A nearly twenty-meter-long, white-furred, black-striped, purple-eyed white tiger appeared.

"Xiao Ao, Rongrong, come up here and show us the way!"

Oscar, holding Chi Ping in his arms and carrying Shi Nian's corpse in one hand, jumped onto the white tiger's back with Ning Rongrong.

"Dad's at the Crown Prince's residence! Over there!"

The Netherworld White Tiger leaped into the air and headed straight in the direction Ning Rongrong pointed.

……

Prince's Mansion.

Ning Fengzhi and Xue Qinghe were discussing important matters.

The guard rushed in with an urgent report, but before he could explain, a ghostly white tiger charged right in front of the two of them.

"Dad, save Ping-ge!"
