“Phasing!” Lu Chen’s eyes lit up.
He remembered this Spirit Ability being used by someone in the original work’s second Spirit Master Tournament.
“Phasing seems invincible, but its weakness is obvious.” Lu Chen mused, “If I remember correctly, once a Spirit Master phases, they cannot counterattack themselves; they can only be in a purely ethereal state.” Bei Yuxuan’s expression was serious.
“Under normal circumstances, that’s true, but she’s different.” “Oh?
What do you mean?” Lu Chen asked, surprised.
“Phantom Shadow’s Spirit is a mutated Phantom Shadow Cat, which has an extremely high natural compatibility with Phasing.
After the two merged, a mutation occurred.
She can shrink the Phasing range to a specific body part, achieving ‘Partial Phasing’!” Bei Yuxuan explained, “Yesterday, my people were tricked by her head phasing into empty attacks, then counter-killed with her soul tool dagger.” “It can do that?” Lu Chen was astonished.
“No wonder her Spirit is a Phantom Shadow Cat, yet she chose the assault-type path.” “Then isn’t she invincible?” Tang Ya couldn’t hide her shock.
“Others can’t hit her, but she can attack others!” Lu Chen shook his head: “It’s not that exaggerated.
Activating a Spirit Ability requires spirit power.
This almost invincible phasing consumes an enormous amount of spirit power.
With her being a level 19 Spirit Master, she would run out of spirit power after using it a few times at most.” Hearing this, Tang Ya finally breathed a sigh of relief: “That’s good then.” As the group spoke, Phantom Shadow, dressed in black, had already stepped onto the arena.
Her opponent was a Spirit Master with a Vigorous Vajra Bear Spirit.
Both of them had clearly figured out each other’s strength, and without even a word of trash talk, they tacitly released their Spirits.
One white and one yellow spirit ring lit up beneath their feet respectively.
Seeing the yellow spirit ring beneath Phantom Shadow’s feet, Buck’s expression grew even more solemn.
“Match start!” As soon as the referee’s voice fell, Phantom Shadow darted out like a black spirit cat.
Although she was an assault type, her speed was by no means slow.
“Just in time!” Buck roared, and the white spirit ring beneath his feet suddenly flickered.
“First Spirit Ability: Bloodthirsty!” The next instant, a powerful crimson steam emanated from his body.
Buck’s physique surged again, his eyes blood-red.
He transformed into a ferocious exploding bear and pounced towards Phantom Shadow.
The distance between them closed instantly.
“Die!” Buck roared, his bear-like claws fiercely striking Phantom Shadow’s head, intending to smash her to pieces with one blow.
Seeing this, Phantom Shadow showed no sign of dodging.
Her first spirit ring flickered beneath her feet.
Her head subtly distorted, and Buck’s claws passed directly through her cheek!
At the same time, Phantom Shadow’s figure had already pressed close to Buck’s chest.
A silver dagger suddenly appeared in her previously empty right hand.
A Level 3 melee spirit tool!
The next instant, the dagger glinted with cold light.
Phantom Shadow gripped it in a reverse hold and fiercely stabbed towards Buck’s neck, moving with lightning speed.
“Pfft!” A spray of blood suddenly gushed out.
“Dea…
dead?!” “No way?
It’s over in one move?” Just as the audience thought Buck was dead, a large hand was seen firmly blocking his neck.
The dagger had pierced Buck’s left hand, its tip barely a hair’s breadth from his neck, but he held it firmly, unable to move.
“I’ve already figured out your fighting style, you old bastard!” Buck’s expression was ferocious, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Phantom Shadow.
Before he finished speaking, he swung a powerful right hook towards her head.
At the same time, he kneed her right arm.
“You bitch, let’s see how you phase now!” “This Buck, to break the phasing limit, actually chose to exchange injuries as bait!” Tang Ya exclaimed in surprise.
Bei Yuxuan gripped his folding fan tightly, gritting his teeth.
“It would be best if he could cripple one of her arms!” Lu Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly.
“Buck is thinking too simply.
It should be said that Phantom Shadow’s previous fighting style deceived everyone, making them forget the true effect of phasing.” As soon as he finished speaking, Buck, who had been confident of victory, suddenly had a drastic change in expression: “How is this possible?!” He found that both his knee and his fist had missed.
Phantom Shadow had completely turned ethereal.
“You should die.” Phantom Shadow’s expression was calm.
Taking advantage of Buck’s unsteady stance due to inertia, a cold light suddenly streaked across his neck.
A column of blood spurted out.
Buck’s eyes widened, and he clutched his neck tightly with both hands.
After a few whimpers, he fell to the ground, dead.
The entire battle was clean and decisive!
“The ninth battle, winner—Phantom Shadow!” With the referee’s announcement, the entire arena erupted in cheers again.
Many Spirit Masters, however, had grim expressions.
Phantom Shadow’s ability was simply too troublesome.
In Lu Chen’s private room, Bei Yuxuan sighed deeply: “What a pity.” Tang Ya looked at Lu Chen worriedly.
“Her ability is too abnormal, how will you counter it?” Bei Yuxuan was also somewhat conflicted.
Lu Chen was, after all, a Body Sect disciple, and perhaps even a core member.
If anything happened to him, he would definitely be in deep trouble.
But if he gave up now, that seventy thousand year Spirit Bone would fall into Luo Du’s hands.
“I said, this overbearing Spirit Ability consumes an extreme amount of spirit power.” Lu Chen’s expression was calm as he motioned for the two to look at the arena.
At this moment, Phantom Shadow’s breathing was slightly rapid, and her steps were also more hurried than before.
Clearly, her spirit power consumption was significant.
Currently, the Douluo Three Kingdoms still didn’t have recovery-type spirit tools like ‘milk bottles’.
No matter how abnormal Phantom Shadow’s phasing ability was, without spirit power support, it was just for show.
“Oh no!” Tang Ya suddenly slumped her face, stomping her foot in annoyance.
“I actually forgot to place a bet!” Lu Chen’s mouth twitched slightly.
The matches continued, and soon it was Lu Chen’s turn to enter the arena.
This time, his opponent was a level 18 control-type Spirit Master with a Wolf Fang Spider Spirit.
This slightly surprised Lu Chen.
Generally speaking, control-type Spirit Masters have weaker solo combat abilities and mostly choose to participate in teams.
However, the outcome did not change; Lu Chen won easily.
“Yay!
We won again!” Tang Ya danced excitedly.
Although Lu Chen won decisively last time, the odds for this match were still four times.
Coupled with the match reward, her 2 gold coin instantly turned into 90.
“One more win and it’ll break a hundred!
Making money feels so good!” …
In the following time, Lu Chen and Phantom Shadow continued their winning streaks.
Out of the original 50 Spirit Masters, in just two hours, fewer than ten remained.
Although most people did not participate in deathmatches, the number of fatalities had already reached over a dozen.
Host Lele looked at the match list in her hand, a thrilled smile on her face, and announced loudly: “Next up, a deathmatch!
Level 1 Spirit Master Lu Chen versus Level 19 Spirit Master Phantom Shadow!
They are the most dazzling new stars of the night, having achieved astonishing records of 11 consecutive wins and 18 consecutive wins respectively!” “Lu Chen!
Lu Chen!” “Phantom Shadow!
Phantom Shadow!” Hearing the names of these two, the entire audience immediately erupted in cheers.
Their records were too dazzling.
Not only did they have many consecutive wins, but their battles were also clean and decisive.
Their opponents rarely lasted more than five rounds.
“It’s finally here!” Bei Yuxuan tightly gripped his folding fan, his gaze fixed on the arena.
Luo Du was the same, his eyes coldly watching Lu Chen, a sinister curve on his lips: “The show is finally about to begin!” In another private room, Vina, Du Busi, and others also focused their attention entirely on the arena.
Amidst the cheers of the crowd, Lu Chen and Phantom Shadow simultaneously walked onto the main arena.
As the referee announced the start of the match, Phantom Shadow instantly activated her Spirit.
Holding her dagger, she cautiously observed Lu Chen.
“Show your Spirit,” she said deeply.
Lu Chen adopted the starting stance of Flowing Water Fist, responding indifferently: “No need.” Hearing this, Phantom Shadow’s expression turned cold.
“Then die!” Before her words finished, her figure shot towards Lu Chen like an arrow released from a bowstring.
