Chapter 115: Spiritual Interference, The Speed of a Pure Agility Soul Douluo!
Although Bai He still didn't use his other two soul skills this time, he exerted his existing speed to one hundred percent, charging towards Hu Bai behind him even faster.
But for some reason, just as Bai He was about to touch Hu Bai, Hu Bai merely twisted his head to the side, and the two brushed past each other!
"Huh, Old White Bird clearly almost caught Hu Bai just now. Why did he make such a low-level mistake at a crucial moment? He didn't catch him?" Yang Wudi said, puzzled.
However, Xie Yue and the others, who knew about Hu Bai's soul skills, smiled faintly. This was clearly the Soul Skill, Spiritual Interference, at work.
Since Bai He suppressed his cultivation to the same level as Hu Bai, that naturally included his mental power.
For Hu Bai's Spiritual Interference—since his mental power wasn't too much higher than his opponent's—it could affect the accuracy of their soul skills. If the mental power gap between them was significant, then even if Hu Bai stood still and let the opponent attack, the opponent wouldn't be able to hit him.
"No, that's not right," Bai He muttered to himself. He wouldn't make such a low-level mistake.
He immediately turned around and lunged at Hu Bai again, this time using both hands.
But for some reason, he still narrowly brushed past Hu Bai.
For a moment, a special force affected his accuracy, or rather, his body's balance, causing him to shift to the other side!
"Good, good, good! You little rascal, can you tell me what Soul Skill you used?" Bai He was extremely curious.
Hu Bai smiled. "This is my third Soul Skill, Spiritual Interference. Unless Senior Bai He's mental power is far superior to mine, as long as I keep this Soul Skill active, you won't be able to touch me, hehe."
Bai He: …
"You, isn't this cheating? My soul power is suppressed to the same level as yours, so the mental power I can mobilize at this time is limited. Plus, your mental power is probably much higher than your soul power, so how can we play like this?"
Hu Bai smiled slightly. "How about this: Senior Bai He doesn't need to deliberately suppress your soul power to be the same as mine, but you can only use your first three soul skills. How about it?"
Hu Bai took a small step back.
This wasn't out of kindness; the main reason was that without doing so, there would be no challenge at all. He truly wanted to test the extent of his reaction speed and element control when facing a pure agility Soul Master like Bai He.
Initially, Hu Bai's goal was to thoroughly convince Yang Wudi and Bai He, and there was also a bit of showing off involved. After all, if one has the ability, who doesn't like to show off in front of others?
If he didn't have a background, he might need to consider the consequences of doing so—whether someone would secretly try to harm him. But unfortunately, he had the backing of Spirit Hall!
It must be said, having a background was truly exhilarating!
At this moment, Hu Bai could somewhat understand what it felt like for those 'backer kings' in other novels.
One word: exhilarating!
Two words: very exhilarating!
Three words: absolutely exhilarating!
Moreover, he had no intention of hiding his strength. If this could lure out the pests secretly sabotaging Spirit Hall, then all the better!
Tang Hao: …
Anyway, all the Elders and Enshriners of Spirit Hall were going to be active now, so he could completely let loose.
Furthermore, constantly hiding would not be beneficial for his divine examination. Comprehending Element Hearts of at least seven attributes was still a significant challenge for him.
Hu Bai wanted to use this opportunity to see if he could comprehend the wind attribute Element Heart.
Bai He was also slightly stunned upon hearing this.
According to Bai He, his mental power and soul power would be at the Soul Douluo level, and the effect of such a vast amount of soul power injected into the first three soul skills was not something a three-ring Soul Elder could compare to!
It seemed he was being underestimated.
However, Bai He also wanted to see what the limit of this person's strength truly was!
"Good!" Bai He roared softly, his soul power surging. His first soul ring rose, and then he transformed into three Clones, attacking Hu Bai from three directions.
This time, Hu Bai no longer used Spiritual Interference. Facing a Soul Douluo-level mental power, his Spiritual Interference would not be very effective.
Moreover, with the augmentation of Soul Douluo's soul power, Bai He's speed was already so fast that it was almost imperceptible to the naked eye.
Therefore, Hu Bai simply closed his eyes and felt the positions transmitted to him by his mental radar.
"Holy crap, this kid actually closed his eyes—that's interesting!" Yang Wudi watched the two's competition, his hands itching a bit.
He thought to himself, he should have fought Hu Bai before coming here. Hu Bai's soul skills were too interesting.
And, if what Hu Bai said was true—that he suppressed his soul power to the same level as Hu Bai, just like Bai He—then would his Soul Breaking Spear also fail to hit Hu Bai?
Hu Liena watched the scene in the arena, her brows tightly furrowed, her eyes slightly narrowed, and her mental power fully unleashed. She was having a hard time keeping up with Bai He's speed.
But even so, her second brother could still dodge Bai He's attacks. However, slowly, Hu Liena noticed that he was starting to struggle a bit.
Because Bai He's speed had become even faster!
In her eyes, only afterimages remained.
If Hu Liena couldn't see, let alone Xie Yue beside her, who had already completely given up.
Only a helpless, bitter smile remained on his face.
His mental power was not strong enough. Even with spatial power, he couldn't sustain it for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
Perhaps he could dodge the first few times, but facing a Soul Douluo-level Bai He, he would probably have to immediately transfer to a new location after each spatial transfer. His soul power simply couldn't sustain that long.
Although he and Hu Bai both possessed spatial abilities, it was clear that Hu Bai's control over spatial abilities was superior to his. The stronger the control, the less soul power was naturally consumed.
Moreover, when Hu Bai was dodging, he didn't just use spatial power but also wind element power!
In the area where Bai He and Hu Bai were competing, a large amount of wind element permeated the air. Every time Bai He attacked, he would use the rich wind element to accelerate himself.
And Hu Bai, in addition to locking onto Bai He's position through mental detection, also added wind element perception. Only by combining the information fed back to him by his mental power and wind element perception could he quickly pinpoint the next optimal transfer point.
But even so, he gradually showed signs of fatigue. Just now, a corner of his clothes was almost touched.
And only one-third of the time had passed.
"Hehe, little Hu Bai, you are indeed very powerful, possessing three attributes: spirit, wind, and space. No wonder you're not an agility-type Soul Master, but dare to play this game with me. This old man is thoroughly convinced, but you won't be able to dodge the next attack. It's time to end this!"
