362, Everything Can Become a Martial Soul, Gu Rong's Choice Is Shocking [Big Chapter]_2

Indeed, every living being exists within the air.

So when air becomes a Martial Soul, could it cause some kind of explosive effect?

Lin Yi was somewhat impressed by Gu Rong's wild ideas, but whether the System would allow air to be used as a Martial Soul was uncertain.

The System was quite clever; if anything threatened it or the rewards meant for Lin Yi, it would use some kind of "rule" to suppress it.

Of course, Lin Yi knew this was the System's way of providing absolute protection to its host.

To Lin Yi's surprise, the decision to make air act as a Martial Soul wasn't rejected by the System.

He took the red orb in his hand and flicked it towards Gu Rong.

The moment the red orb reached Gu Rong, it turned into a hazy red glow that enveloped his entire body. After two or three seconds, as if scanning him with infrared, the light merged into Gu Rong's skin.

The next moment, he closed his eyes and fell silent for quite some time.

After a full half-minute, Gu Rong opened his eyes, and a wave of invisible fluctuations suddenly spread in all directions around him. Simultaneously, everyone clapped their hands to their ears because they found themselves suddenly unable to hear any sounds around them. The silence was followed by a long-lasting ringing in their ears.

"Damn! What kind of strange Martial Soul is this?"

Chen Xin cursed, but his voice seemed to travel without air, leaving only his mouth moving.

At that moment, the first Black Level Soul Ring rose from Gu Rong on the platform, followed by the second, third, fourth… until the eighth ring!

A total of eight black Soul Rings rotated around Gu Rong, and finally, a hundred-thousand-year red level soul ring appeared around him.

Gu Rong came back to his senses and immediately lifted the restrictions that the Martial Soul had brought, allowing everyone's grumbling voices to finally spread clearly through the air.

"What happened?!"

"Why couldn't we hear anything just now?"

"When I spoke, there was no sound!"

"Yeah, I just saw your mouth moving."

...

Listening to everyone's discussion, Gu Rong's expression was a bit embarrassed. He explained, "Sorry everyone, I just integrated with the Martial Soul and haven't quite mastered it yet, which caused the sound in this area to be unable to travel through the air."

Chen Xin, with his hands over his ears, said in astonishment, "This isn't a skill you used, but an innate effect of the Martial Soul?"

Gu Rong said with some excitement, "Yes, you could say that!"

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help showing an envious and amazed expression.

Not being able to hear was one thing, but they had all just experienced an extremely uncomfortable ringing in their ears, which could bring a powerful negative effect to the opponent during a fight.

Miss Ning placed her hands behind her back and said with interest, "Bone Uncle, why don't you introduce your new Martial Soul to everyone?"

Gu Rong nodded and said eagerly, "Then let me give you a brief introduction. The Air Martial Soul allows the user to automatically control wind attributes..."

"What?!"

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Xin suddenly exclaimed. He pointed at Gu Rong and said, "You just integrated a Martial Soul and also gained control over the wind attribute for free?"

Hearing his good friend's envy, Gu Rong's smile became even more unrestrained, "That's right, I can now freely control wind attributes, and I also have nine independent skills."

"The Air Martial Soul tends more towards control, but it also possesses three purely damaging skills, which are the eighth soul skill, and the two skills gifted by the hundred-thousand-year ninth soul ring."

"I especially have to mention the seventh soul skill, Martial Soul True Body, which is a skill that consumes less Soul Power than even the first soul skill. It turns my own body into air!"

At this, the crowd was once again abuzz.

They had never heard of a seventh soul skill that consumed the least amount of Soul Power! Normally, the seventh soul skill consumed the most Soul Power because it was used to maintain the Martial Soul True Body.

No sooner had he spoken than the seventh Soul Ring rose from Gu Rong, shining brightly.

His entire body disappeared into the air, as though turning transparent.

At this moment, Lin Yi, with his incredibly high spiritual power and sharp eyesight, saw a mass of air accelerating in one direction!

But the others were still looking around in confusion, because they couldn't see this scene.

Soon, Gu Rong's shout came from another direction.

Everyone turned their heads collectively, looking toward a spot a hundred meters away!

Gu Rong was actually standing there!

Chen Xin was shocked again, "You're fucking teleporting!"

The whole process indeed hadn't even exceeded a second.

Gu Rong laughed heartily, extremely pleased, "I turned into air, completely able to use the surrounding air to accelerate my movement! In short, when in my Martial Soul True Body, I am a mass of air, anything the air can do, I can do!"

Lin Yi's eyes narrowed slightly, such as creating a vacuum environment, suffocating people... This Martial Soul was too strong for its own good, a simple Martial Soul True Body could do so much.

Bi Bidong's expression was serious, as if telepathically following Lin Yi's guess, she muttered to herself, "A Martial Soul True Body, to actually have teleporting, invisibility, concealing presence, and other various abilities... I wonder if it also has a power similar to Tyrant Body, after all, air can't be injured..."

Using his Martial Soul True Body again, Gu Rong teleported onto the stage, and his seventh soul skill, just like he said, hardly consumed any Soul Power.

Since Lin Yi had gained the ability of Soul Power Flash Charge, he could automatically see the remaining Soul Power on others, so he could completely determine Gu Rong's level of exhaustion.

"Not to mention the attack strength, this Martial Soul is extremely practical, you made a good choice."

Lin Yi praised sincerely from the heart.

Gu Rong was overjoyed and immediately thanked Lin Yi with a fist salute, "I am clear in my heart, all this is thanks to Senior Lin Yi!"

Lin Yi's expression remained unchanged, and he continued, "Prepare for the second attack."

"Alright!"

This second attack, Gu Rong planned to use his Air Martial Soul.

But he only understood the capability aspect and did not know about the damage potential.

However, it didn't matter, he was very happy now, and even if the quality of the rewards downgraded once, it was a good opportunity to test out the damage potential of the Air Martial Soul.

From his first to sixth soul skills, they were all control and support type skills, so Gu Rong could only use the eighth and ninth soul skills; to be cautious, he decided to directly use the ninth soul ring this time!

The hundred-thousand-year soul ring!

Two soul rings rose from Gu Rong's body, the seventh and the ninth soul rings, with the ninth soul ring's blood-red color being particularly vivid and eye-catching.

Gu Rong's figure quickly disappeared, turned into air, and at the very moment when the blood-colored soul ring vanished, Lin Yi suddenly felt an immense gravitational pressure coming from his body.

This wasn't Gu Rong controlling gravity, but indeed an indescribable pressure of weight on Lin Yi!

It was air! It was a mass of rapidly compressing air!

Lin Yi frowned and looked up, a hundred meters, two hundred meters, five hundred meters, a thousand meters, two thousand meters, three thousand meters!

The air directly above him was compressing drastically, and at this moment, Lin Yi could already guess what the attack method of this hundred-thousand-year soul skill was.

Air Cannon, a very simple concept.

But when Gu Rong controlled a column of air reaching several thousand meters high and compressed it, it was no longer just a simple Air Cannon.

In another space, three gods were looking at the sky directly above Lin Yi, with clouds around them gathering and then immediately plummeting, as if sucked down by a strong force.

Their Divine Sense could detect that the kilometer layer of air above Lin Yi's body was compressing.

"Boom!"

A loud bang rang out and, within a two-meter diameter around Lin Yi as the center, deep cracks appeared.

Had it not been for Lin Yi deliberately controlling the direction of the damage, the entire platform would have collapsed, and a deep crater would have formed on the ground.
