Chapter 44: The Thickest Armor

The lightning struck Niu Shaopeng's skin that had been strengthened by soul skills, leaving a charred black patch.

Feeling the pain in his forearm, Niu Shaopeng launched a counterattack with red eyes.

He charged forward like a mad bull.

Lei Yin crossed his fingers in front of him, then pulled to both sides, pulling out a net made of thunder and lightning.

The power grid blocked Niu Shaopeng's collision path, scorching his whole body black and causing his hair to stand on end.

"Hahaha..." Bateman laughed at the side, "You're not going to overturn your car, are you?"

"Shut up!" Niu Shaopeng roared dissatisfied, and activated his second soul skill.

His skin changed from its original bark-like state to pieces of gray-white rocks.

Then, the third soul ring lit up, which was a purple thousand-year soul ring.

There was a faint metallic luster on his gray-white skin.

Lei Yin understood clearly that all his soul skills were used to increase his defense.

A sentence he heard from a tavern in Frostleaf City suddenly popped into his mind:

He who wears the thickest armor will receive the most severe beatings.

A smile couldn't help but appear on his face. Lei Yin did not rush to attack, but slowly distanced himself.

The maintenance of soul skills requires the consumption of soul power, and time is on his side.

"Hey, kid? Are you scared?" Niu Shaopeng taunted.

"No, this is called strategic retreat." Lei Yin smiled, not swayed by his words.

"Then you have to be careful..." Niu Shaopeng charged again.

This time he moved much faster than before, but it was still not enough.

Lei Yin's legs are filled with thunder, constantly moving around and conducting electricity through the ground, paralyzing the opponent's muscles and reducing his speed.

This keeps him at a safe distance.

Time passed by minute by second, and Niu Shaopeng began to pant due to the exhaustion of his soul power and physical strength.

During this period, he also tried to turn off the defense strengthening effect of the soul ring to save soul power, but every time this happened, he would be hit by violent lightning strikes.

It was stronger and more damaging than the initial tentative attack, which forced him to keep the enhancement turned on.

Lei Yin's martial spirit is thunder and lightning, which has strong conductivity, which allows him to throw it easily without having to go out of his way to obtain a spirit ring to "fire" like Yan Jin did.

Therefore, the direction Amon chose for his second soul ring was "storage", in order to make up for the shortcomings of thunder and lightning that would dissipate quickly after being created, and improve his ability to fight for a long time.

Lei Yin can create thunder and lightning in normal times and store it in the second soul ring. Of course, this has a certain upper limit.

Until now during his battle with Niu Shaopeng, he had been sparing the use of thunder and lightning, and he hadn't even used up what was stored in his soul ring.

When the battle reached this point, everyone could see that the balance of victory and defeat had begun to tilt in Lei Yin's direction.

"Haha, you silly guy is just being teased." Bateman commented with a smile.

His words were not echoed by others.

In fact, Niu Shaopeng's speed is not too slow. In the ring, the space for dodge is limited. Being able to dodge his collision every time has proved Lei Yin's advantage in speed.

In addition, he forced Niu Shaopeng to maintain the defensive superposition state with all three spirit rings activated, which showed that his attack power was not weak.

Moreover, thunder and lightning also has a paralysis control effect.

Speed, attack power, and control are all added together. If you think about it for a moment, you can understand how tricky Lei Yin is.

What's more, he seems to have reservations!

Niu Shaopeng's face looked a little ugly. He was beaten by a child until he had no ability to resist, which made him very embarrassed.

He made a prompt decision and activated Wuhun's special ability, "Go Mad".

When faced with a life-or-death crisis, the blue-striped buffalo will fall into a violent state, during which its attack power, defense power, speed, etc. will be greatly increased.

Niu Shaopeng's martial spirit also gives him the same ability, except that he can activate it actively and does not need to be in a specific state such as "facing a life or death crisis".

His speed suddenly increased a lot, and the paralysis effect of the current on the ground on him was also greatly weakened. Lei Yin's dodge began to become difficult.

Amon raised his right hand, touched the lower edge of the monocle, and said:

"Leiyin, stop playing around and fight quickly."

Since it is an assessment, using appropriate strategies to win is indeed a way, but Amon needs a clean victory to show the strength of their group, which can make his team more attractive to outstanding students.

He didn't have a deep background, and Yan Jin's master Walter didn't mean to interfere too much, so he could only improve the team's competitiveness from other aspects.

No matter what, the ultimate goal of joining the team is to win the college selection competition and represent the college in the Soul Master Competition.

Then "winning" is the biggest advantage. As long as you make others feel like they can "win," you won't be able to attract people.

"Okay, Mr. Amon..." Lei Yin nodded and said to Niu Shaopeng, who had gone crazy and had little sense:

"Originally I didn't want to hurt you too seriously, but since Mr. Amon asked so, I can only do it as soon as possible."

He clasped his hands together in front of him, and then pulled out a silver-white short spear from the palm of his left hand with his right hand. After the short spear left the palm of his left hand, it suddenly stretched out and turned into a long spear.

"Thunder Spear!"

This is a spear composed of highly condensed thunder and lightning. Even if you look at it from a distance, it gives people a feeling of panic.

"No way? This is a great soul master?"

Bateman was startled and looked at Binglan involuntarily, then looked at Yanjin who glared at him from time to time, and suddenly felt that it was better for him to say less.

Looking at the burly figure rushing towards him, Leiyin had no intention of dodging.

Thunder surged, and he threw the spear in his hand.

This attack used up the lightning stored in his second soul ring, and also consumed a lot of soul power, making his face a little pale.

Boom...

Thunder exploded, accompanied by a deafening roar, and a big pit was blown out of the ring.

Niu Shaopeng, covered in blood, walked out of the smoke and dust, took a few steps, and fell to the ground.

Yu Xinxue rushed to the ring to check his injuries, and shouted:

"Student Alana, come over quickly and help him heal."

Before she spoke, a girl in light green clothes and flaxen curly hair had jumped over.

"Leave it to me." She said in a sweet voice.

A dandelion appeared in Alana's hand, emitting a white glow.

Three soul rings of yellow, yellow and purple emerged, and this was a healing soul master.

Her purple soul ring lit up, and the white glow formed small light balls, which merged into Niu Shaopeng's wound.

The wound that had been bleeding stopped bleeding quickly and began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"I only restored his external injuries, and the internal injuries need further examination.

"Although my treatment healed his wounds, it required the consumption of his own vitality, so overall, he was weaker.

"Add to that the negative effects of 'madness', he may have to recuperate for a long time, at least half a month." Alana said softly.

"You have done very well." Yu Xinxue nodded.

Lei Yin came over and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I was too heavy-handed and didn't grasp the power of my soul skills."

Yu Xinxue waved her hand and said: "No need to apologize, it's common to get injured during sparring. As long as there are no permanent and difficult-to-heal injuries, it's fine.

"What's more, he needs to recuperate for so long, in fact, it's more of a side effect of 'madness'. Although your attack is powerful, this kid is also thick-skinned, he is a soul master after all.

"If it's just a skin injury caused by this blow, he will be alive and kicking in two or three days after treatment."

Tian Honghai came over, picked up Niu Shaopeng, and said: "I'll take him to the infirmary, Teacher Yu, you watch this place, don't let anything happen."

"Okay, thank you." Yu Xinxue nodded.
