Chapter 358: Leviathan's Improved Cultivation
The reason why the combination of Tang Wulin and Na'er can defeat the combination of Long Yue and Dai Yun'er is very simple.
That is Dai Yuner, she is a perfect breakthrough point.
During the individual competition, Tang Wulin discovered a blind spot, which was the key to their victory.
During the competition, even if other contestants are bleeding, as long as they do not admit defeat or can still force themselves to fight, the referees will not interfere with the progress of the competition.
Unless a player is seriously injured and faints from being beaten by his opponent, the referees will not intervene.
But this does not apply to Dai Yuner.
Tang Wulin discovered that whether it was Dai Yueyan's match or Dai Yun'er's match, the referees' attention was more focused than usual, as if as long as there was any problem, they would immediately take action to stop it.
Just like when Lufa fought against Dai Yuner and Dai Yueyan, when Lufa beat up Dai Yuner, the referee flew over to stop him without even waiting for him to put Dai Yuner down.
The same was true for Dai Yueyan's match. He had not been seriously injured and was still able to move, and he had no intention of admitting defeat, but Enci and the referees still chose to intervene in their fight.
The reason is simple, Dai Yun'er and Dai Yueyan are both members of the royal family. While this noble status brings them benefits, it also brings them certain limitations.
For example, although they have a lot of combat experience, they rarely have life-and-death experiences. Well, although few people have such experiences either.
But it is also a weakness nonetheless.
So in the two-on-two final, the combination of Tang Wulin and Na'er, as if it was arranged by something, faced off against the combination of Long Yue and Dai Yun'er.
Tang Wulin and Na'er used tactics flexibly, and Na'er chose to hold Long Yue back. Tang Wulin faced Dai Yun'er, and accidentally, Tang Wulin's golden dragon claw almost scratched Dai Yun'er's head, which scared the Xingluo Empire.
The sharpness of Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon Claw had been proven in some previous competitions. If one accidentally touched Dai Yun'er's head, she would either fall into a coma or be disfigured, or die on the spot.
So, at the critical moment, Enci subconsciously took action and saved Dai Yuner.
During the game, unless the loser is clear, outsiders are not allowed to interfere. Enci's subconscious move became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Thus, the combination of Tang Wulin and Na'er won the championship.
Although during this process, the people of the Xingluo Empire cursed him very harshly.
But Tang Wulin didn't care. Just say whether he won or not. Sometimes using tactics flexibly can be a virtue.
I remember that master in history, before leading the first generation of Shrek Seven Devils to defeat the Spirit Hall team, he had arranged many tactics for them, allowing them to retain a considerable amount of strength, and finally defeated the Spirit Hall team unexpectedly.
The same was true of Lingbing Douluo ten thousand years ago. He used various tactics such as bluffing and showing weakness to the enemy, and finally led the Shrek team, which had been hit hard at the time, to win the championship of the Continental Soul Master Academy Competition, thus defending the honor of Shrek Academy.
This is the power of flexible use of tactics!
Now, Tang Wulin has flexibly used tactics to defeat his opponents and safeguard the honor of their Shrek Academy. This can also be considered a kind of inheritance.
The two-on-two match was over, and next was the final scene of the Continental Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition, a seven-on-seven team battle.
……
At this moment, in the bottomless dark sea, endless silence is like a thick curtain, covering this mysterious area for a long time.
In the dark and cold waters, lurks a terrifying beast.
This giant beast looked like a whale from the outside, and its body was covered with rock-hard scales that shone with a strange black light, like a mysterious rune armor.
As it breathed, countless bubbles emanated from around its body. If you looked closely, you would find that the dark scales on the body of this giant beast would occasionally wriggle up and down and close.
At the same time, its body is huge beyond imagination, like an underwater mountain that can move freely.
Just a slight sweep of its thick tail can create a violent undercurrent on the seabed, like a small underwater storm, ruthlessly destroying all the surrounding reefs and corals.
Not far from this giant beast, there was also a strange creature observing it. It was a creature that looked like neither human nor fish.
Its body seemed a deformed object carved from the darkest depths of the universe, its massive outline looming, like a hill twisted by an evil force.
Its head is like an irregular tumor, with countless thick tentacles growing around it.
These tentacles danced in the sea like giant pythons, covered with ferocious suction cups. The edges of those suction cups were as sharp as knives, and a slight touch could leave deep marks on the hard reefs.
At the same time, his skin seemed to be covered with a slippery stratum corneum with mottled dark lines, flashing a strange dark light in the dark underwater environment, as if countless cursed souls were struggling and surging in it.
These two creatures that look extremely deformed and evil are naturally Nan Fusheng’s sea soul beast clones, Leviathan and Augustus.
"Its cultivation has increased again, but yours still hasn't improved much." Nan Fusheng's voice suddenly came from Augustus' octopus head.
"I can't help it. My nature is different from its. I am a Chimera soul beast that has developed diversity, and I focus on integrating the abilities of various soul beasts. Leviathan, on the other hand, only develops its devouring ability. It is much better than me in digesting and absorbing energy."
The octopus head spoke again, but this time his voice was much deeper. It was obvious that the person who was speaking was not Nan Fusheng, but Augustus himself.
"That's right." Nan Fusheng in Augustus' mind nodded. As the original body, it was extremely easy for him to transfer his consciousness back and forth between his clones.
Anyway, he is not really needed to play in the Continental Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition, so of course he has to observe his clones.
"Is it absorbing energy from the mineral vein?" Nan Fusheng looked at Leviathan with some curiosity as it was constantly inhaling and exhaling bubbles. Now the other party seemed to be resting, so he did not choose to transfer his consciousness to Leviathan.
"Yes." Augustus nodded. "He had this ability a long time ago, but because he was busy hunting sea soul beasts everywhere, he rarely used this ability and only used it when he was resting. Now that his cultivation has reached this level, his devouring ability has become stronger and stronger. He can even devour and absorb the energy from the metal veins in the deep sea, and the speed is not slow. The only drawback is that he has to change his base from time to time."
Listening to Augustus' words, Nan Fusheng didn't say much. Even he was surprised by Leviathan's cultivation speed.
Although it had not been long since the last sneak attack on their cruise ship, Leviathan's cultivation seemed to have reached a higher level, and it was beginning to approach the 300,000 soul beasts.
"We have no use for these mineral veins on the seabed anyway, so let Leviathan devour them. But if you come across super rare treasures, remember to keep them."
Nan Fusheng didn't care that the rare metals in these mineral veins would be scrapped after their energy was devoured by Leviathan. After all, he had no use for them. However, a lot of good things would occasionally appear in the ocean.
For example, deep-sea silver mother that can only be found in the deep sea, or some treasure that once drifted into the ocean due to special reasons.
Although the probability of encountering these things is extremely small, there are still some lucky people in Douluo Continent who have actually encountered and found them.
"By the way, what's wrong with your body? You are clearly a sea soul beast, but you have evolved wings in the deep sea. Is this thing really useful?"
Nan Fusheng changed the tone and skillfully shifted the topic to Augustus. This question really made him very curious. Augustus didn't know where he had swallowed this strange soul beast, and it even evolved wings.
Nan Fusheng tentatively manipulated the wings behind Augustus. They were a pair of flesh wings that looked broken, but still exuded a terrifying aura. Every feather on the flesh wings flashed with cold light, like sharp bone spurs, exuding the aura of decay and death.
When he flapped his flesh wings slightly, the surrounding sea water seemed to be pulled by a dark force, producing strange waves.
These wings can actually be used like a fish in water in this deep sea, and the things on them that look like feathers are actually like scales.
"These wings evolved when I devoured a sea soul beast called the Devil's Blade. It is a strange fish that looks like a sharp knife, so it is called the Devil's Blade.
Their ability is explosive flying attacks. Their bodies are extremely sharp and tough. They have no other attributes except for their strong piercing ability. They can use acceleration to achieve short-term low-altitude flight. At the same time, this kind of soul beast is also a social soul beast. "
“When I was hunting, I encountered a bird soul beast preying on this soul beast, so I ate both of them, and naturally grew these wings.
Perhaps it was because of the bird soul beasts that I devoured that I grew wings. And because of the Devil's Blade, these wings are covered with scales, which can not only be used as flying weapons to attack, but also as acceleration boosters for me in the water. "
Augustus proudly flapped the wings behind him, causing the surrounding sea water to begin to stir.
(ps: The soul beast Devil Blade is not made up by the author. This soul beast has appeared in Peerless Tang Sect.)
“Hurrah!!”
At this moment, gurgling bubbling sounds were heard, and Nan Fusheng turned his gaze towards the direction of Leviathan.
The giant beast sleeping in the abyss of the sea seemed to be awakened from a nightmare. Its huge body moved slightly, and it was like a dormant underwater volcano that began to revive. The surrounding sea water seemed to feel the pressure from the giant beast and began to surge restlessly.
At first, there were only slight ripples, like a trace of uneasy breath spreading in the sea water. But as Leviathan's consciousness gradually became clear, its huge limbs began to stretch, and every slight movement seemed to trigger a small underwater storm.
The sound of the rolling sea water broke the silence, and coming from the depths of the seabed, it was a dull yet shocking roar.
The churning seawater seemed to be boiling, bubbles constantly popping and bursting. The beast's mountain-like back gradually arched, and the surging seawater was like an extension of its power, sweeping in all directions.
"Roar--"
Leviathan opened its big mouth and let out a deafening roar.
Leviathan's mouth was incredibly large, like a bottomless canyon, with sword-sharp fangs arranged in an interlaced pattern inside. Each fang flashed with a cold light, as if it could easily tear apart any hard object.
"This guy's awakening made quite a noise."
Nan Fusheng watched quietly from the side. The sea water around him was in turmoil due to the awakening of Leviathan. As soon as it approached him, it seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier.
Nan Fusheng waited until the noise caused by Leviathan gradually subsided before he controlled Augustus to approach it.
"Main body, is there something wrong?"
As soon as Nan Fusheng approached, Leviathan recognized him clearly.
"No, I just came to see how you've been doing lately. After all, I may need your help with something in a while, so I hope you can improve your cultivation as soon as possible."
Nan Fusheng said. Frankly speaking, he didn't have such high expectations for the two clones at the beginning. He just wanted to cast a wide net and catch more fish. Anyway, he didn't lack two clones.
However, as the cultivation levels of Leviathan and Augustus increased rapidly, Nan Fusheng suddenly discovered that they seemed to be useful in other places. Even many interesting ideas were slowly taking shape in Nan Fusheng's mind.
The difference between Leviathan and normal soul beasts is that their formation process is a bit special, and they can also use Nan Fusheng's power to avoid the heavenly tribulation. In this way, their growth speed is unmatched by other soul beasts.
Whether it is to infiltrate the soul beast camp in the future or to form an independent faction, there are many areas to plan.
No, that's not right.
Nan Fusheng took a look at Leviathan's appearance, and then looked at his mucus-covered palm. Well, they look so scary, it should be difficult for them to blend into the soul beast camp, and they can only form their own camp.
"Improving your cultivation? I understand."
Leviathan nodded. It happened that he woke up this time because he felt that his cultivation was about to improve, so he prepared to hunt sea soul beasts.
"Well, work hard. There will be many places in the future where you may be used." Nan Fusheng encouraged Leviathan and then shifted his consciousness away.
