When Nangong Lingyun spoke, everyone's consciousness had basically cleared.
And after his words fell, their ability to act was gradually recovering.
Gu Yue Na, completely disregarding her goddess-like elegance and bearing, plopped down onto the ground, gasping for breath.
Her face also turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and fine beads of sweat seeped out, like telephone poles in the morning mist.
After a while, she revealed a strange expression, a mixture of shock, despair, and the relief of surviving a disaster.
She said indignantly: "God damn it!"
All three words were heavily emphasized; she almost ground her teeth to dust.
Surviving a disaster is simple.
That kind of cyan lightning could actually attack the human nervous system directly. What did it feel like to have the nerves used to transmit pain and other sensations all zapped with electricity?
Those few seconds just now really felt like facing death. Her soul almost short-circuited. No one would want to endure that a second time.
Despair, on the other hand, was knowing how long these days would continue.
This jerk wasn't just black-hearted; his methods were also brutal. Even thinking with her heels, she knew the future would be bleak.
She, the Silver Dragon King, had never suffered such indignity!
As for the shock...
Outsiders watch the excitement, while insiders watch the expertise. With a wave of his hand, dozens of lightning spheres appeared, accurately landing on the top of each person's head, with the intensity perfectly matched to the target's strength.
As the most violent and chaotic, and also the most difficult to control, attribute, such control was truly terrifying.
More importantly, because of different development directions, lightning possessed many branch attributes and attached characteristics, such as Destruction Godly Lightning, Exorcism Godly Lightning, Profound Yin Godly Lightning, and Wood Godly Lightning, among others.
Numbing wasn't on the Destruction Godly Lightning's list of characteristics.
The opponent, however, could precisely isolate other abilities, allowing them to only stimulate the nervous system without harming the body.
This could only mean one thing: the Thunderclap Hellvine's quality had also evolved.
Adding to this the Blue Silver Emperor, which had already been confirmed to have upgraded, the Dragon God Turtle that had broken through at lightning speed, and the Golden Lion Tiger and Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger, who, despite being enslaved, seemed to relish it,
She had a hunch about the secret of Nangong Lingyun's Beast Taming Martial Soul ability.
Helping contracted soul beasts evolve their bloodlines.
This fact alone made even the real Silver Dragon King unable to remain calm, and Gu Yue Na's mood was long unable to settle.
It's important to know that even the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, which carried the fate of the entire Star Dou Great Forest's soul beasts, could only increase the chance of successfully overcoming a tribulation by a small amount.
Directly upgrading bloodlines was something only the Dragon God had been able to do.
The nine Dragon Kings weren't the Dragon God's children, but rather individuals with outstanding talent selected from various races, who were granted one of the Dragon God's abilities.
There were also the Gods of Time and Space, who grew by absorbing the Dragon God's bloodline.
If that's the case, then his importance to the soul beast race is extraordinary.
Gu Yue Na secretly made up her mind. No matter what, she had to find out the truth about Nangong Lingyun's Beast Taming Martial Soul.
And she was once again thankful, Fortunately, this guy is a lecher.
Otherwise, with a demigod of that level protecting him, even the Silver Dragon King would be helpless.
Revealing her true form would probably work, but those people in the God Realm would probably die laughing.
Thinking like this, Gu Yue Na suddenly realized,
Hmm? Isn't this a little embarrassing?
Oh well, I'm not a love-struck fool. Everything is for the sake of the clan.
[Gu Yue Na's Favorability +10%]
As the Silver Dragon King's thoughts churned, the others gradually recovered.
The immense pain had left them resentful, but none dared to voice their complaints.
There was no choice. Enduring such agony was difficult, but enduring it a second or third time was even more unbearable. How could they even survive?
Ah Zi was still floating above their heads.
Soon, five minutes passed.
The group instantly transformed into arrows leaving a bowstring, whooshing away from their original position. They ran as fast as they could, still feeling like they weren't fast enough.
Nangong Lingyun then released his mental domain, enveloping the entire academy.
A gentle voice, like a spring breeze, occasionally echoed in everyone's ears.
"Even the old lady selling popsicles at the gate runs faster than you. How can you call yourselves Soul Masters?"
"Ning Rongrong, can you even finish the course? And you're supposed to be boosting others?"
"A snail won second place in the snail cosplay competition, all thanks to you rookies."
A beautiful morning passed just like that.
After a medicinal bath, the afternoon was for skill lessons.
Some people had already completed the tree climbing and water walking exercises.
Excluding the cheater Gu Yue Na, as well as the earliest Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, most of them were control-type Soul Masters: Hu Liena, Shui Binger, and Dugu Yan.
The only exception was Feng Xiaotian. While developing his own soul skills had delayed his cultivation, it also allowed him to achieve extremely fine control over his martial soul and soul power.
The group of seven stood steadily on the water's surface, divided into two groups, with ripples slowly spreading beneath their feet.
Even though the lake surface was constantly fluctuating and the sounds of splashing and screaming from those who had fallen into the water occasionally came from the side, their bodies remained completely still.
"Follow me."
Nangong Lingyun took a light step, and with a slow movement, he instantly appeared in the center of the lake.
The seven people quickly followed, running directly across the water's surface with large strides.
"You are all completely familiar with the two basic characteristics of attraction and expulsion.
"What I'm teaching you today is the third basic characteristic: Burst, or it can also be called Amplification."
"If the first two were the domain of control-type Soul Masters, then the Burst characteristic is the field that assault-type Soul Masters excel in."
"After your smooth sailing so far, you will face a major challenge in this lesson."
"However, at Kaiyuan Academy, even the weakest support-type Soul Master must master a full set of skills, including, but not limited to, defense-type skills like force deflection and resistance, speed-type skills like maneuvering and dodging, and support-type skills like healing and purification."
"And after the basic courses are over, there are even higher requirements waiting for you in your respective professional fields."
"The principle of the Burst characteristic is very simple. It involves compressing or even burning soul power, converting it to produce a higher level of energy. Please feel it carefully."
Nangong Lingyun pointed a finger, and seven balls of light instantly flew into the bodies of the students.
Feng Xiaotian was originally an assault-type Soul Master, and for Gu Yue Na, this was child's play. Neither of them showed much change in their expressions. But the other five girls instantly widened their eyes, their expressions turning incredibly delighted.
Especially Ning Rongrong, she screamed with excitement,
"So strong!"
"I feel like my power has increased by at least half."
"Even my dad doesn't have this ability."
Nangong Lingyun was somewhat speechless.
He once again sincerely felt that the average IQ level of the people on the Douluo Continent was too worrying.
The attack-type people only learned attack-related abilities, and the control-type people only learned control. Clearly, it was the same thing, and it was very simple. A little cross-over and they were this shocked…
"Alright, Feng Xiaotian, go back and help the male team members with climbing trees and treading water. Gu Na'er, you help the female team. The rest of you, practice with me."
