Chapter 60: Threaded Spirit Lines
Kong Ling's Sun God's Light was about to hit Lü Hanwen's waist, but his body suddenly accelerated, allowing him to narrowly dodge Kong Ling's attack.
Kong Ling quickly understood what was happening in a daze. This was definitely not a move Lü Hanwen could make in a hurry, but rather the work of Shui Ling, the "mastermind"!
Kong Ling's attack missed, and Lü Hanwen had already arrived in front of Xu Tianyi.
A defensive spirit tool blocked Lü Hanwen's lion claws, and the referee in mid-air made his move.
Then a rope-like spirit tool descended from the sky, wrapped around Xu Tianyi's waist, and lifted him out of the Soul Dueling Arena.
When Xu Tianyi regained consciousness, he saw that he had been hoisted into the air by the referee.
He clearly understood that he had been eliminated. He clenched his fists, staring intently at the Soul Dueling Arena below. He hadn't expected to be the first one eliminated.
Everything had gone according to plan, but they hadn't anticipated that An Le's Praying Angel Spirit's First Spirit Skill could nullify the scorching damage of the Blazing Sun Cage.
Now, it could only be said that one wrong step led to many. The situation in the Soul Dueling Arena had already changed, and the scales of victory seemed to be tipping towards Shui Ling's team.
On the other side, Xu Wei was using his speed advantage to continuously attack An Le, but Shui Ling seemed to have an omniscient view, knowing Xu Wei's every move perfectly. She could always manipulate An Le to dodge the moment Xu Wei launched an attack.
Therefore, many people in the audience of the Soul Dueling Arena were somewhat confused by this match.
How could An Le, a support system Spirit Master, be so fast?
It was as if she had maxed out her evasion skills!
And under Shui Ling's frequent manipulations, although the threads were invisible, many people had already noticed some clues, realizing that she was playing a decisive role.
Ren Jun's expression was serious, and he said with surprise in his eyes, "Although I don't know what Shui Ling's Spirit is, it is undoubtedly an extremely powerful control system Spirit."
"And at only Second Ring, she has grasped the essence of a control system Spirit Master, able to control the entire field. She is truly a Genius among geniuses!"
Ren Jun did not spare any praise. Besides Kong Xuan, this was only the second time he had evaluated a student so highly.
However, Shui Ling absolutely deserved such praise. In Kong Xuan's view, although Shui Ling merely stood still, the threads extending from her hands had already spread throughout the entire Soul Dueling Arena.
An Le and Lü Hanwen each had a thread wrapped around their limbs, and many of their actions were also controlled by Shui Ling.
If not for this, at least An Le would have been eliminated by Xu Wei long ago.
Kong Xuan smiled faintly, "With the strength Shui Ling has displayed, there's absolutely no problem for her to enter the Spirit Master experimental class. She will also be my student in the future!"
Ren Jun raised his eyebrows upon hearing this and couldn't help but laugh, "Haha, indeed. As a teacher, being able to teach Genius students like you is a rare and precious thing."
No matter in which World, teachers instinctively favor students with high talent.
Kong Xuan did not reply this time. His gaze remained fixed on the Soul Dueling Arena.
He noticed a thread extending from Shui Ling's hand, now wrapped around Kong Ling's body.
In his eyes, it seemed like a fresh blood vessel, with blood constantly flowing through it.
But in reality, spirit power was being transmitted through this thread; Shui Ling had already begun to steal spirit power from Kong Ling.
It just seemed that the intensity of the theft was not great, likely to avoid being discovered by Kong Ling.
Kong Xuan looked at his younger sister in the Soul Dueling Arena, and he couldn't help but worry for her.
If this dragged on, she really might lose, after all, Shui Ling's Second Spirit Skill hadn't been used yet.
A series of attacks had missed their target, especially after seeing Xu Tianyi actually being eliminated by the opponent. Xu Wei quickly used Lightning Flash, and in an instant, he returned to Kong Ling's side from the enemy's encirclement.
"Sister Ling, what do we do now?"
Xu Wei's tone was a bit anxious; the situation was truly unfavorable for them!
Kong Ling's expression was calm at this moment, as if the situation was still under her control.
She slowly said, "You step back."
"Huh?"
Xu Wei thought he had misheard, but they weren't far apart, and he was sure Kong Ling had just told him to step back.
Just as many question marks appeared in Xu Wei's mind, Kong Ling said again, "Retreat to the very back. Next — just leave it to me!"
Xu Wei opened his mouth, many words on the tip of his tongue, but he didn't utter a single one.
He watched Kong Ling's slender back, yet she walked forward with firm steps.
Trust in his teammate led Xu Wei to make his final decision. He activated his First Spirit Skill, Lightning Flash, again.
Under everyone's puzzled gaze, Xu Wei this time did not rush towards the opponent, but in the opposite direction.
A flash of lightning streaked across the Soul Dueling Arena. When Xu Wei reappeared, he was already at the very edge of the Soul Dueling Arena.
On the other side, Shui Ling and the others did not attack Kong Ling, but watched her walk closer step by step.
Although Kong Ling's Spirit Abilities were already clear, Kong Ling's current behavior still made them somewhat uneasy.
It seemed that even facing such a situation, Kong Ling might still be able to turn the tide alone.
Shui Ling and the others seemed to be responding to all changes by remaining unchanged, but in reality, they were also buying time, waiting for an opportunity.
Shui Ling's Second Spirit Skill required a condition to activate: the opponent's spirit power had to be 50% lower than hers.
"Hmph! If I let you keep absorbing my spirit power like this, the outcome of this match will truly be without suspense."
Kong Ling's voice carried a hint of stubbornness and anger. Her gaze was fixed on Shui Ling opposite her.
And upon hearing these words, the usually expressionless Shui Ling couldn't help but feel her heart skip a beat, her eyes no longer as calm as still water.
Her Spirit was called Threaded Spirit Lines. Unless it was a Titled Douluo with powerful mental force, others would simply be unable to detect it.
And her ability to absorb others' spirit power came from her First Spirit Skill, Silk Binding, which allowed her to ignore 50% of the opponent's defense and absorb spirit power through the Threaded Spirit Lines.
Her Second Spirit Skill was called Puppet. The Threaded Spirit Lines would infiltrate the enemy's body, and if her own spirit power was 50% higher than the opponent's, she could directly control the opponent's actions, just like controlling a Puppet.
She had been very careful when absorbing Kong Ling's spirit power, taking it little by little, fearing that the other party would notice.
But she didn't expect that she had just started and Kong Ling had already exposed her.
This made Shui Ling incredibly surprised, as if the other party had known about her Spirit and Spirit Abilities all along.
Kong Ling naturally didn't know the specific details, but with her brother's reminder yesterday, she had been constantly paying attention to the condition of her spirit power.
Although the loss of spirit power was very small, Kong Ling still detected it.
It was precisely at this moment that she told Xu Wei to retreat, knowing that she couldn't wait any longer.
Shui Ling's slender eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she spoke for the first time during the battle: "Do you think you can still win?"
Kong Ling chuckled softly, "Why not?"
Kong Ling extended her left hand, and the orange-red mini-sun that had been hovering above her head slowly descended to hover above her left hand.
Then, she extended her right hand.
With a flash of cool, clear light, a silver-white sphere appeared above her right hand!
Kong Xuan in the audience turned to look at the Class Teacher Ren Jun beside him.
He saw Ren Jun's eyes wide, pupils constricted, mouth agape, looking utterly shocked beyond words.
Then, a stammering voice came from his mouth: "It's actually — Twin — Spirits?!"
