After thinking it over, Meng Tao decided to choose this man named Lu Benwei.
Not only because of the other party’s name, but also because the opponent was a control-type soul master.
With his own ability to quickly retract and release his martial soul, he could flexibly deal with some control-type restrictions.
“Holding on for ten minutes against a Soul King is quite the challenge,” Meng Tao thought with some excitement.
“I choose you, sir,” Meng Tao said, pointing at Old Lu.
“Very bold.
Begin your performance,” Old Lu said confidently.
“Martial soul possession!
Come out, Zhu Xian!” Meng Tao shouted.
“Hmph!” Zhu Xian roared toward the sky.
“Third Soul Skill: Brave Arrow!” A purple soul ring lit up on his body and wrapped around Zhu Xian.
Several bristle darts shot out!
“Whoosh whoosh!” “First Soul Skill: Earth Block Defense!” Old Lu confidently stretched out his right hand.
Five soul rings circled around Old Lu: white, yellow, purple, purple, black.
The earth blocks in his hand spread out in all directions, forming a shield right in front of Old Lu that could completely hide his entire body inside.
“Bang bang bang bang!” The bristle darts struck the shield, producing loud banging sounds.
Old Lu remained in place and lit up his fourth soul ring at the same time.
“Fourth Soul Skill: Earth Block Transformation!” Under the effect of Old Lu’s fourth soul skill, the granite stones on the ground actually began to show signs of turning into soft soil.
Meng Tao felt the ground suddenly become soft, and his body actually started sinking into the ground.
“Is this a skill similar to quicksand or swamp?
Zhu Xian, Ice Sealing a Thousand Miles!” Meng Tao’s expression changed slightly.
After thinking for a moment, he immediately instructed Zhu Xian.
Cold air surged from beneath Zhu Xian’s feet and formed an ice layer around them, attempting to suppress the soft mud and turn the surrounding environment into his own icy battlefield.
“Competing with a Soul King in soul power?
Little friend, what are you thinking?” Old Lu smiled slightly, full of confidence.
“Take this doubled right back at you!” He released even more soul power, shattering the ice plain.
Looking at the ice layer that was instantly destroyed, Meng Tao immediately jumped onto Zhu Xian’s head.
Zhu Xian could only create ice blocks around himself.
However, they were quickly destroyed by the surging soft soil.
Zhu Xian could only continuously release soul power to create ice layers to prevent himself from sinking into the soft soil.
He thought in his heart, “What should I do?” Suddenly, a scene appeared in his mind.
A blue ninja frog, stepping on two ice cones and sliding across the ice surface.
“Yes… That’s it!
Zhu Xian, only create ice layers under your feet, then move quickly across the soil surface.
The time to test your soul power control has come.” Meng Tao was suddenly overjoyed and spoke to Zhu Xian with renewed confidence.
“Hmph hmph!” (Believe in me!) Meng Tao patted Zhu Xian’s head.
Zhu Xian jumped backward.
The ice layer under his feet shattered the moment he landed, and then a new layer appeared.
He continued jumping around, finally using this move again after a long time.
Secret Technique: Lightning Flash Repeated Side Jumps!
“What an interesting tactic.
However, I won’t let you keep jumping around like this.
Third Soul Skill: Earth Block Barrage!” The shield in Old Lu’s hand transformed into many mud blocks and shot toward Meng Tao and Zhu Xian.
“Zhu Xian, here it comes!
Brave Arrow Defense Form!” At the same time, a silver-gray light quality appeared on his body, sparkling with starlight as it activated.
Meng Tao leaned forward and pressed tightly against Zhu Xian’s head.
“Boom boom boom!” The hard earth blocks slammed into Zhu Xian’s body, producing huge sounds.
Would Old Lu’s attack be effective?
The answer was…
Huff huff~ Just by looking at the still charging Zhu Xian, one could tell that Old Lu’s attacks had not had much effect under Meng Tao’s high-intensity defense.
“Not bad.
As a Soul Ancestor, being able to do this is already very impressive.
I acknowledge you as a teacher.
However, I want to test whether you can take this move.” “Fifth Soul Skill: Earth Burial!” The surrounding mud surged up from all sides and poured down from above Zhu Xian’s head.
“Old Lu, you’re going too far.
He might…” Zhou Qi said.
“I believe in this kid,” Old Lu’s eyes flashed with a trace of excitement.
He believed the other party could handle it.
“With this level of power, Roar of Deterrence definitely can’t block it.
I can only use that move,” Meng Tao thought.
At the same time, he recalled Zhu Xian.
“Hah!” Meng Tao roared.
Silver-gray soul power spread outward from his body.
A silver-gray pig head phantom appeared.
This was a skill he had developed after his soul power control advanced to a new level.
Pig Protector Wheel, a somewhat useless skill that consumed all his soul power to condense a pig head phantom around himself for protection.
Once used, he would have no combat ability left.
However, this skill proved unexpectedly useful in this situation.
When he was still a Soul Honor, he could already withstand a full-powered strike from a Soul Ancestor.
Now that he was a Soul Ancestor himself, could he withstand a ten-thousand-year soul skill from a Soul King?
The pig head phantom withstood the mud like crashing waves.
Time passed second by second.
“Crack crack crack!” Cracks slowly appeared on the soul power pig head.
“Can’t hold it anymore?” Meng Tao thought.
Dozens of seconds later, the momentum of the mud waterfall attack gradually slowed and disappeared.
Meng Tao dispelled the pig head soul power phantom and collapsed to the ground.
“Cough cough, it’s already been 15 minutes,” Meng Tao lay on the ground, feeling refreshed in body and mind.
He had successfully withstood a Soul King’s attack for 15 minutes.
“Well done!” he thought.
Several middle-aged men came over to help Meng Tao up.
“Little friend, you did beautifully.
You have the style of my younger days,” Old Lu said shamelessly.
“Welcome to join our Blue Tyrant Academy.
By the way, I still don’t know your name?” Zhou Qi welcomed him excitedly and asked.
“My name is Meng Tao!” Meng Tao answered, somewhat tired.
“Come, quickly take Teacher Meng to rest,” Old Wang said.
Then several people helped Meng Tao into the teachers’ exclusive dormitory.
Although called a dormitory, it was actually similar to a regular hotel.
After watching Meng Tao being helped into the room, Wang Meng said, “Old Lu, I remember your fifth soul skill, Earth Burial, can not only create a bursting impact from above but can also attack from underground!” Old Lu frowned, looking somewhat annoyed at Wang Meng for speaking too much.
“I just wanted to test his strength.
There was no need to use my trump card.” A trump card is only a trump card if others don’t know about it.
But these two guys had been together for more than ten years, so what did it matter if they knew each other’s abilities?
A ten-thousand-year soul skill was not that simple!
The gap between a Soul King and a Soul Ancestor was far more than just a dozen levels of soul power.
Meng Tao’s road ahead was still long and arduous.
