Chapter 12 The Shock of Chrysanthemum Douluo and His Two Friends
The outer edge of the Starry Sky Forest.
Despite his rage, Chrysanthemum Douluo was determined to bring Xiao Chen back to the Spirit Hall.
After seeing that Xiao Chen had shaken off the Thunder Leopard again, he was in no hurry to make a move.
He wanted to see where Xiao Chen's limits were.
Anyway, Xiao Chen is currently heading towards the outside of the Star Dou Great Forest. With a Title Douluo like him following along, there will definitely be no accidents.
"Grandpa Ju, did he just unleash four soul skills in an instant?" Hu Liena asked.
"That's right!" Chrysanthemum Douluo nodded.
"But, isn't it true that you can't attach a spirit ring to a second spirit if you have twin spirits?" Hu Liena asked doubtfully. The Spirit Hall's records contain information about twin spirits. The first spirit master to attach a spirit ring to a second spirit had already exploded and died.
"How he did it, I don't know either!" Chrysanthemum Douluo replied.
Chrysanthemum Douluo could see that Xiao Chen not only activated two martial souls at the same time, but also attached all four soul skills to an arrow in an instant.
Chrysanthemum Douluo knew very well that even with twin martial souls, only one martial soul could be used in battle. When switching to the other martial soul, the first martial soul could not be used.
Moreover, when a Soul Master releases a Soul Skill, they usually release them one by one.
Even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's Distraction Manipulation - Seven Aperture Glazed Heart, although it can use seven auxiliary skills at the same time, is still based on the principle of amplifying the seven soul skills one by one onto other people.
Like Xiao Chen, who can simultaneously add four soul skills to his attacks, and these soul skills come from his two martial souls.
In Chrysanthemum Douluo's view, such exquisite skill control is even more difficult than the distraction control of the "Seven-Skill Glazed Heart".
"This feeling is so much like a Martial Soul Fusion Skill! And it's a perfect fusion of two Martial Souls and four Soul Skills!" Chrysanthemum Douluo thought to himself, extremely surprised.
As Chrysanthemum Douluo pondered, Xie Yue asked, "Neither of his two martial souls are speed-type, so how can he unleash such incredible speed?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo shook his head; he also wanted to know why.
"He's too strong! Besides his speed, the arrows he shoots can actually injure the Thunder Pattern Leopard. Is this really a soul skill granted by a ten-year soul ring?" Xie Yue exclaimed in amazement as he looked at Xiao Chen.
Hu Liena looked at Xiao Chen and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
She asked herself honestly, if she had encountered this Thunder-Patterned Leopard at level 23, she probably wouldn't have had a chance to fight back at all.
As a representative of the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall, Hu Liena was still very competitive, but now, looking at the boy running desperately in the forest, she was sincerely convinced.
Thinking of this, Hu Liena immediately urged, "Grandpa Ju, why aren't you going to save him!"
"Don't worry!" Chrysanthemum Douluo signaled to Hu Liena that there was no need to worry.
"With me here, I will certainly not let him get hurt easily. Moreover, I always feel that this little guy still has some trump cards he hasn't used yet," Chrysanthemum Douluo said slowly.
Hu Liena and Xie Yue exchanged a glance upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashing in each other's eyes, before continuing to watch.
Xiao Chen was not feeling well at the moment, as continuously activating 'Shadow Step' was consuming too much of his soul power.
There were too many obstacles in the Star Dou Great Forest. Since Xiao Chen was not familiar with the "Soul Skill Sharing" technique, he had to carefully observe the route before daring to use it.
He was also afraid that if he lost control, he might crash into a big tree or rocks, which would be a tragedy.
Fortunately, Xiao Chen had excellent vision and soon devised a route with relatively few obstacles.
After planning the route, Xiao Chen drew his bow and shot again. This time, he only used the "arrow speed boost" effect and shot three arrows in a row, all targeting the Thunder Pattern Leopard's intact right eye.
These three arrows weren't particularly powerful, but the Thunder Pattern Leopard couldn't discern which of Xiao Chen's arrows contained a hidden killing move. It could only remain fully alert and deal with each one individually.
As soon as the Thunder-Patterned Leopard slowed down, Xiao Chen immediately activated the second soul skill of the wooden bow: Thorn Rain.
The "Rain of Thorns" without any status effects didn't consume much of Xiao Chen's soul power; this move was only meant to obscure the Thunder Pattern Leopard's vision.
The moment the "Rain of Thorns" exploded, Xiao Chen shared the effect of his "Shadow Step" soul skill with the wooden bow.
In an instant, Xiao Chen felt as if his soul power and spiritual power had been almost completely drained.
Such a consumption is enormous, but the resulting burst of speed is equally astonishing.
Xiao Chen's figure shot out like an arrow, transforming into a blurry afterimage as he swiftly passed through the dense forest.
At that moment, Xiao Chen's figure moved like a ghost among the intertwined trees, disappearing completely from Hu Liena and the other two's sight in the blink of an eye.
This scene truly shocked Chrysanthemum Douluo and his two companions.
Although Chrysanthemum Douluo had anticipated that Xiao Chen had a trump card, he did not expect that Xiao Chen could unleash such astonishing speed in an instant.
However, Xiao Chen's soul power fluctuations were still within Chrysanthemum Douluo's perception range.
Without delay, he immediately took Hu Liena and Xie Yue and chased after them.
On the other side, the moment Xiao Chen rushed out with all his might, he felt dizzy and his consciousness was about to collapse.
He gritted his teeth and clung to his last shred of consciousness, instinctively crawling into a hidden cave.
As soon as he stepped into the cave, Xiao Chen could no longer hold on. His vision went black, and he collapsed straight down, completely unconscious.
However, Xiao Chen did not fall to the ground, but was supported by Chrysanthemum Douluo who arrived later using his soul power.
After examining Xiao Chen and confirming that he was not in any danger, Chrysanthemum Douluo breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's alright, it's just that his soul power and mental energy were overdrawn. He'll be able to recover after a period of rest," Chrysanthemum Douluo said.
Hu Liena and Xie Yue stared at Xiao Chen for a long while before Xie Yue finally asked, "Elder Ju, what exactly did he just do?"
"I don't know." Chrysanthemum Douluo shook his head. At this moment, like Hu Liena and Xie Yue, his curiosity about Xiao Chen had reached its peak.
"Xiao Na, Xie Yue, you two stay here and keep an eye on this boy," Chrysanthemum Douluo continued. "I sensed the presence of other Soul Masters not far away. Go and investigate to see if they are this boy's companions."
"Okay!" Hu Liena and Xie Yue nodded in unison.
Afterwards, Chrysanthemum Douluo left the cave.
The people he sensed were naturally Chu Ruolan and her group.
Su Qing had just finished absorbing the soul ring, and her body was still radiating a faint soul power fluctuation.
Having seen the Thunder-Patterned Leopard, Chu Ruolan didn't even ask Su Qing what soul skill she had obtained, and immediately prepared to lead them away from this place first.
However, as soon as they set off, they found a figure blocking their way like a ghost.
Chu Ruolan and the others paused, their soul power instinctively circulating as they warily watched the suddenly appearing Chrysanthemum Douluo.
"Senior, may I ask what brings you to our side?" Chu Ruolan bowed respectfully.
Although she couldn't detect the soul power level of the person in front of her, she had a feeling that she was like an ant in front of this person.
Chrysanthemum Douluo didn't answer her question, but instead asked, "Do you have any other companions?"
Chu Ruolan was about to answer "no" subconsciously, but then she suddenly remembered Xiao Chen, so she said truthfully, "There is one more person. If that child has offended you, I can apologize on his behalf. I hope you will not hold it against him."
"Is this the person?" Chrysanthemum Douluo directly projected Xiao Chen's image using his mental power.
"Yes!" Chu Ruolan nodded. "I wonder where that child is..."
Just as Chu Ruolan was about to ask where Xiao Chen was, she sensed a killing intent. She looked up and met Chrysanthemum Douluo's cold gaze.
