The Two Kids' Improved Strength

Chapter 98 The Two Kids' Improved Strength

Li Luochen brought Oscar and Ma Hongjun to the Shrek Academy's Soul Arena.

Originally, there wasn't one. Flander specially spent money to build a small circular fighting arena with a diameter of fifteen meters, which was enough for the three of them to perform. Moreover, this area was quiet because there were no people around, so they could just go for it without worry.

"Come on, attack with all your might, let me see how strong you are now."

Li Luochen did not release his martial spirit, but instead took out an iron rod, which he had made a few years ago for practice. It weighed about thirty pounds, so there was no need to worry about injuring the two of them.

"Oscar, Martial Soul Sausage, Level 32 Food-type Battle Soul Master, please give me your guidance, Brother Chen."

"Ma Hongjun, Martial Soul: Fire Phoenix, Level 29 Power Attack Type Battle Soul Master, please give me your guidance, Brother Chen."

The two children each released their own martial souls, and their soul rings appeared. Oscar's was yellow, purple, and purple, while Ma Hongjun's was yellow and purple.

They were all absorbed through the second spirit ring's over-limit absorption, and the absorbed spirit beasts were all just over a thousand years old. Although the absorption was very painful, the benefits were enormous.

Although Ma Hongjun's soul power was only one level higher than Dai Mubai's, he had one more purple soul ring. The difference between a thousand-year soul ring and a hundred-year soul ring was still significant, which was why Ma Hongjun could easily defeat Dai Mubai.

Oscar is the same. Although the soul power of a food-type soul master is gentle, the soul rings still greatly modify his body. He can also crush Dai Mubai, who does not use soul skills.

"Come on, attack with the determination to kill me. You win if you force me to use my Martial Soul, make me use my Soul Skill, make me bleed, or even if I leave the Soul Arena."

Li Luochen said calmly. Oscar and Ma Hongjun were already used to it. Every time they sparred with Li Luochen, he would say the same thing, because the difference in their soul power was too great, and the two of them could not hurt Li Luochen.

Oscar struck first, taking a quick step and throwing a straight punch at Li Luochen.

"Good timing." Li Luochen looked at Oscar's swift punch, reached out and grabbed Oscar's fist: "It's okay, but not strong enough. However, this punch weighs 400 kilograms, which is comparable to a power-attack type battle spirit master. It's a pity that it's not enough to hurt me."

"Hehe, Brother Chen, I didn't mean to hurt you." Oscar suddenly grinned, his intention being to launch a feint attack first.

At this moment, Li Luochen noticed that Ma Hongjun had come up behind him.

"Second Soul Skill, Phoenix Wings Soaring Through the Sky. First Soul Skill, Phoenix Fire Line!"

Ma Hongjun directly amplified his first soul skill, making this attack as powerful as a high-level soul master's third soul skill.

In the Phoenix Wings Soaring state, the power of fire attributes is increased by 100%, and the power of Ma Hongjun's first soul skill, Phoenix Fire Line, is directly doubled.

"Hehe, not enough (muda muda)"

Li Luochen caught Oscar's straight punch with his left hand, and swept the flame beam away with his right hand using an iron rod.

Oscar didn't rest and immediately tried to trip Li Luochen with a sweeping kick, but his kick landed on Li Luochen's leg instead of a leg.

"Hey, Little Ao, not bad moves! Looks like your legs are stronger than your punches, hmm, not bad!"

Although Li Luochen was praising him, his attack followed immediately. A stick came crashing down with the force of a thousand pounds. Oscar felt a cold sweat pour down his face when he saw it and instantly retreated.

Boom—

The impact left a hole in the ground. Oscar wiped the sweat from his brow, thinking, "If I'd been hit by that, I'd probably be bedridden for days."

Ma Hongjun didn't freeze; instead, he launched an attack while Li Luochen was still attacking.

However, this time Ma Hongjun chose close combat, flapping his wings to get to Li Luochen's side, and enchanting his hands with flames, making them look like iron claws.

"Self-created Soul Skill, Phoenix Flaming Claw." Li Luochen also noticed Ma Hongjun's attack and quickly blocked it with his iron rod. As a result, the iron rod was heated red-hot and was about to break, but it was protected by Li Luochen's soul power.

"Hongjun, that was a good strike, but it still has some flaws that need improvement. I suggest you gradually improve it as you level up, and don't let it interfere with your training."

Li Luochen was quite satisfied with Ma Hongjun's self-created soul skill. Ma Hongjun was only nine and a half years old and had already created his own soul skill. Hmm, his talent was much stronger than in the original timeline.

When Ma Hongjun's attack failed, he retreated to Oscar's side.

"Hongjun, I'll lead the attack, you stay behind and wait for an opportunity to strike."

Oscar looked at Ma Hongjun and spoke, but their eyes were not on each other, as if they were exchanging something. Since Li Luochen was not paying attention, he did not notice the exchange of their eyes.

"Communicating during battle is not a good habit, and speaking so loudly that you can't even get the plan out? This won't do."

Li Luochen looked at the two boys and thought, "Why are they plotting so loudly? Are they making fun of me? They're still too young."

Oscar darted to the side, and Li Luochen's eyes were fixed on Oscar's position. He subconsciously thought that Ma Hongjun was gathering his strength.

"First Soul Skill, Phoenix Fire Line!" Ma Hongjun instantly activated the soul skill, attacking right at Li Luochen's feet, immediately creating an explosion and smoke.

Yes, the "no harm from smoke" principle applies. Li Luochen was unharmed, except that his vision was blocked. However, his mental strength was extremely strong, so he could see the other party's movements even without using his eyes.

However, Li Luochen didn't use his mental power. Using mental power to bully two kids? He'd be asking for trouble.

While Li Luochen was still trying to pinpoint the location by listening to the surroundings, Oscar had already used his second soul skill, Swift Mushroom Sausage, which allowed him to fly at the speed of a swift for a quarter of an hour—a top-tier soul skill.

Oscar sprouted a pair of wings from his back and flew swiftly. Then, a white sword blade extended from his right arm. The blade was about thirty centimeters long and completely white, looking quite inconspicuous.

"Ten Thousand Leaves Thrust!" Oscar activated his Soul Bone Skill, sending countless sharp bamboo leaves formed from his soul power hurtling toward Li Luochen.

Li Luochen also realized this and hurriedly used the iron rod to defend himself. Only now did Li Luochen realize that he had fallen into a trap, a series of traps that had tricked him into falling into them.

While Li Luochen was briefly suppressed by Oscar, Ma Hongjun immediately used the full power Phoenix Fire Line attack, seizing this momentary opening.

Li Luochen looked at the incoming fire rays and felt a pang of distress. He had fallen into a trap!

"Third Soul Skill, Rippling Azure Waves" Li Luochen's body emitted a series of water ripples, one after another, which neutralized Oscar and Ma Hongjun's soul skills.

This is another use of Li Luochen's third soul skill. It can be emitted from himself. Although it can't compare to the wave effect created by hitting with a stick, it's still very cool. With a stomp of his foot, a wave of momentum is emitted from his body. It's a god-level skill for crushing noobs!

"Sigh, you guys win. It was a elaborate scheme; you fooled me too. You two have certainly pulled off plenty of scams, haven't you?"

Looking at Oscar and Ma Hongjun, Li Luochen felt very gratified. At least these two kids were quite strong and had good combat skills. Perhaps they could become even stronger after a few months of training at the Soto City Great Soul Arena.

"Hey Chen, how's it going?"

Oscar looked at Li Luochen with a happy expression; nothing could make him happier than Li Luochen's praise.

"Very good, very good, I am very satisfied. However, I would like to remind you again that cultivation should be balanced with rest and work. Do not just cultivate hard all the time."

Li Luochen's praise made the two boys extremely proud, their tails practically wagging in the air.
