The Battle Between Master and Disciple

Chapter 22 The Battle Between Master and Disciple (Part 2)

The dragon-shaped wings retracted as soon as You Chen closed in. After all, these were mana-intensive items.

His current soul power, which is close to that of a Soul King, is sufficient, but as he is still at the Soul Venerable stage, he cannot afford to squander it.

But at this moment, it reappeared, and as the first spirit ring lit up, the surface of the dragon wings seemed to be covered with a layer of cyan energy.

First Soul Skill: Wind Wing Blade!

Commonly known, or as You Chen himself prefers to call it, is "Wing Attack"!

During his early days as a Wind Dragon, he didn't have the ability to transform into dragon wings. Back then, it was just a regular Soul Skill that used wind energy to create illusory wings to attack enemies.

It's basically the same template as the winged guillotine of Wang Dong, the former female lead in Douluo 2, just with a different name and attributes.

However, its power is far inferior.

But after You Chen was able to transform into a dragon with wings, things became very different.

Using the Wind Wing Blade in this state, its power and speed are at the level of a Thousand-Year Soul Technique!

Yan used the arm armor to stabilize himself and create distance. Just as You Chen's first spirit ring lit up and dragon wings appeared, his second spirit ring also lit up.

It wasn't a perfectly calculated moment; it was just a coincidence that the rising lava layer collided with the rapidly advancing dust cloud.

The defensive soul skill was transformed into an offensive soul skill, causing You Chen to ascend into the sky.

Yan stared in astonishment at the soaring You Chen, but as someone who had experienced the trials of the Soul Arena, he quickly regained his senses and realized that this was an opportunity that could not be missed.

He raised his right arm, and the cannon muzzle, which had collapsed due to disordered control of soul power during You Chen's first attack, reformed.

Immediately afterwards, the first spirit ring lit up, and a perfect hell magma bullet was fired.

boom!

A direct hit, sending up plumes of smoke and dust!

A figure fell from the sky.

"Cough cough."

Brushing aside the dust, some dusty, grimy moss came into view.

He stared at Yan with a dark expression, making Yan's scalp tingle. He said, "Sitting in classrooms and research labs for too long has made your bones rust. You actually forgot you had a second soul skill..."

As Yan's control over "form change" improves, the Lava Barrier, which is far less cost-effective than Yan Armor, is used less and less.

You Chen had to recall the last time Yan used this move in a sparring session with his master, which required him to go back to his memories from a year ago.

But it's not the same for Yan.

This technique has low cost-effectiveness with its soul power, and there are slight signs on the ground when the lava wall rises, which cannot be hidden from the master at all, so it is rarely used.

However, when he battles with other players, this move is far from being obsolete.

So when You Chen made another sudden attack, Yan didn't think much and reflexively used this "foolish move".

On the contrary, the idiot expert sent You Chen flying into the sky with a single blow.

Therefore, Yan was not smug at all. Instead, he scratched the back of his head with a somewhat naive expression and said, "It was just a fluke."

Upon hearing this, You Chen raised an eyebrow. Luckily, this guy hadn't said it so casually, otherwise he might have really punched this stupid disciple.

He said with an annoyed look, "Alright, stop acting innocent after getting the benefit. You won this time."

"what?"

Yan was somewhat dazed and asked in confusion, "But teacher, don't you still have the ability to fight?"

Although Yan was confident in the power of his Hellfire Magma Bullet, it was still a long way off before he could directly cause Youchen, under the restricted conditions, to reach the damage limit he had set.

One is that more soul power is consumed, and the other is that theoretically more damage is suffered.

The outcome is far from certain; it's more accurate to say the score is still fifty-fifty.

You Chen said somewhat displeased, "I accidentally used a bit of power that exceeded the rules just now. According to our rules, this naturally means I lost."

When You Chen sparred with Yan, who was at the Soul Master stage, in addition to the restrictions on Soul Power level and third or fourth-ring Soul Skills, there was actually another hidden constraint: "Martial Soul".

Yan has always sparred with him who uses the "Starry Dragon" martial soul. He can't just use the power of the "Star Bone Dragon" without any prior discussion, can he?

But how could it be easy to precisely suppress the power of a martial soul to its pre-evolution level? In fact, if it weren't for someone as knowledgeable as You Chen, it would be impossible to estimate how much power to suppress appropriately.

During the process of being knocked away, You Chen couldn't help but use more power than he should have, and according to the rules, he was naturally defeated.

Upon hearing this, Yan felt somewhat uneasy.

This was the chance he felt he had the best chance in recent years to truly surpass his teacher.

This isn't the kind of victory he wants that seems to have been "given" to him!

But it was difficult to disobey his master's orders. You Chen's authority had long been ingrained in Yan's heart. Yan felt that even if his strength grew to far surpass that of his master in the future, he probably still wouldn't dare to defy his master's authority.

Seeing Yan's dejected state after this "victory gained through charity," You Chen narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, "Do you think you're all that now that you've finally beaten me? So what if you won? Did you think your performance in the battle just now was perfect? ​​Huh?"

Seeing You Chen enter strict teacher mode, Yan suddenly shuddered: "I wouldn't dare! Your disciple would never have such an intention, Master!"

Ignoring Yan's bitter face, You Chen pulled Yan along and quickly began to review the battle.

This has become a habit cultivated between the master and apprentice.

Even with Yan's pig-headedness, he has become somewhat flexible over the years. Otherwise, he probably wouldn't have been able to come up with the previous tactics.

Today, Yan's combat mindset is completely different from before; among his peers, it can be said that no one can surpass him.

Coupled with his already proven formidable strength, he is implicitly considered the leader of the three members of the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation.

Now, no one questions You Chen's teaching ability anymore.

Furthermore, Hu Liena's overall qualities were not as good as Yan's.

After making the comparison, many members of the Spirit Hall privately believed that You Chen's teaching ability far surpassed that of the Pope.

However, normally this wouldn't affect the Pope's authority. Since the Pope's primary responsibility isn't theory or education, it wouldn't be a big problem if he weren't as respected as the professors and lecturers at the Spirit Hall.

But anyone with eyes can see why You Chen was ostracized before.

This is tantamount to the Pope misjudging people and suppressing capable subordinates, which damages the Pope's reputation.

However, the power struggle within the Spirit Hall has not yet affected this master and disciple.

The atmosphere between them remained pure and harmonious, filled only with a pure pursuit of knowledge and wisdom, martial spirit and power.
