Chapter 221: Chapter 221 Shadow Spirit Body

Even with his arrogance, he dare not directly face the Divine Soul Attack of a superior Divine Thought Master!

Although it was a sparring, he couldn’t afford to take the risk.

After all, a Divine Soul Attack at the phase transformation realm could potentially damage the Divine Soul.

"What a spineless guy!"

Ling Xiuluo scoffed coldly.

A senior Dark Night Son, facing a challenge that might be posed by a newly promoted Dark Night Son, actually felt some fear; this truly angered him.

Who are they?

They are the Dark Night!

Their opponents are King You Xia Jiuyou, the Great Xia Royal Family, the Ghost Guards!

Even if they can’t beat their opponents, they would not shirk from a fight, and dare to confront!

But this guy, showing fear before the battle even begins, what’s going on?

"Number Eighteen, what about you?"

Dark Night Son Number Fifteen asked.

"Number Seventeen then."

Ling Chen said indifferently.

After all, it was just a spar, it didn’t matter who the opponent was.

"Okay, then Eighteen and Twenty, you guys start!"

Dark Night Son Number Fifteen declared.

"Alright."

Xu Lin and the other person immediately stepped into the center of the hall.

The hall was extremely spacious, enough for two Cultivators at the initial stage of the Primordial Pill Realm to exert themselves.

"Spirit Array, activate!"

Ling Xiuluo shouted lowly, and a massive Defensive Spirit Array suddenly arose from the center of the hall, forming a transparent shield that enveloped Xu Lin and his opponent.

The attack of Cultivators at the Primordial Pill Realm level is extremely powerful; the mere wood and stone hall could not withstand it, only a Defensive Spirit Array could.

"Boom!"

Within the Spirit Array, Xu Lin and his opponent almost simultaneously burst out with Spiritual Power.

"Indeed, a Super Spiritual Body!"

Xu Lin felt the opponent’s extremely condensed Spiritual Power, and his heart sank.

His Spiritual Power was comparable to the early fourth-tier of the Primordial Pill Realm, while the Spiritual Power of Dark Night Son Number Eighteen was much stronger, clearly having reached the fifth-tier of the Primordial Pill Realm, achievable only by a Super Spiritual Body.

Moreover, the person possessed a Thunder Spirit Body that emphasized both speed and attack!

"Be careful!"

Once in the combat state, Number Eighteen immediately became incredibly sharp.

"Worthy of being a Dark Night Son!"

Ling Chen remarked from the side.

Just this state alone, he felt could not be compared to the geniuses of True Martial Academy!

"Bang!"

Number Eighteen tapped his foot, moving like lightning toward Xu Lin.

Simultaneously, he grasped with his right hand and directly pulled out a lower-grade Spiritual Weapon Longsword.

As he closed within three feet of Xu Lin, purple Spiritual Power was injected into it, slashing a sword towards the latter.

"Clang!"

Xu Lin’s eyes narrowed, and he explosively retreated backward.

At the same time, he pulled out a lower-grade Spiritual Weapon, channeling Spiritual Power into it to block Number Eighteen’s attack.

"So strong!"

Xu Lin was directly pushed back several meters.

"Twenty, bring out your real strength, or you won’t be my match!"

Number Eighteen smiled slightly.

He had not used his full strength just now; otherwise, that strike would have defeated Xu Lin.

"Is that so?"

Xu Lin grinned, suddenly erupting with a fierce combat spirit.

Then, streams of Black Spiritual Power swept out, shooting towards the nine positions of the Defensive Spirit Array.

Then, it formed into clusters of black mist.

"Could it be another Cloud Mist Spirit Body?"

Ling Chen’s eyes narrowed.

Although they had fought side by side, he had not discerned what Spirit Body Xu Lin possessed. Because, just based on Spiritual Power alone, it was indistinguishable.

His Spiritual Power was somewhat similar to his own, both were Black Spiritual Power.

"What Spirit Body is this?"

Looking at the nine clusters of black mist around, Number Eighteen’s expression instantly turned solemn.

"My Spirit Body is called the Shadow Spirit Body! It can only exert its true power at night. However, to compensate for its deficiencies, I specifically cultivated this technique."

From the nine clusters of black mist, Xu Lin’s voice emerged.

"Shadow Spirit Body?"

Ling Chen’s eyes flashed with an unusual color.

He felt that Xu Lin’s Spiritual Power was somewhat similar to his own, indeed possessing the Dark Attribute.

"This guy belongs to my Ye Hall!"

Above the Star Hall, Ling Xiuluo spoke excitedly.

The Dark Night Spirit Body, renowned as the most suitable Spirit Body for assassins.

Possessing this Spirit Body makes assassinating others extremely simple.

"How about the Shadow Spirit Body? My strength is much stronger than yours!"

Eighteen shouted, swinging his longsword, slashing out nine Sword Qi, each attacking nine groups of black fog.

"Boom boom boom..."

Nine loud bangs sounded, and the nine groups of black fog instantly exploded, scattering black mist in all directions.

"I see, without the black fog to cover you, what use is your Shadow Spirit Body?"

Eighteen sneered.

"Is that so?"

However, a faint voice sounded in his ears.

Immediately, Eighteen felt a chill on his neck.

"You have lost!"

At this moment, Xu Lin finally revealed his form on the right side of Dark Night Son number eighteen.

It turned out that when Xu Lin formed the nine Spiritual Power black fogs, he took advantage of the shadows produced by the black fog to appear in the group of black fog on Eighteen’s right.

After Eighteen attacked the black fog, using the scattered mist, Xu Lin covered his form with Shadow Spiritual Power and arrived at Eighteen’s right side, creating the scene just now.

"Good!"

Four Shura Lords almost unanimously cheered for Xu Lin!

They had not expected that this time they would not only recruit a top-tier Divine Thought Master but also a true assassin!

Even Star Shura didn’t know that the Shadow Spirit Body could be used like that!

"Twenty, are you willing to join my Ye Hall?"

Ling Xiuluo asked Xu Lin.

"I am willing."

Xu Lin immediately agreed.

Dark Night Sons generally join one of the four halls of Shura Palace.

The purpose is to receive guidance on cultivation from Shura.

Ye Hall, being in charge of assassin missions, naturally teaches Dark Night Cultivators how to kill.

And, Xu Lin, having a Shadow Spirit Body, is the top choice for Ye Hall.

Of course, all Dark Night Sons can learn the art of assassination.

Xu Lin joining Ye Hall simply means his main focus will be assassination.

"Good!"

Ling Xiuluo nodded.

Fifteen looked at Ling Chen with a solemn expression and said: "Seventeen and Nineteen, it’s your turn now!"

"Good!"

Ling Chen and the other person replied.

Fifteen smiled and said: "Seventeen, be a little careful; Nineteen is a Divine Thought Master!"

Xu Lin’s defeat of Eighteen, to put it unpleasantly, was a slap in the face for them, the existing Dark Night Sons.

As senior Dark Night Sons, their pride was naturally wounded.

But, since they were directly facing four Shura Lords, they couldn’t really lash out; instead, they only allowed Seventeen to go out and teach Ling Chen, this new Dark Night Son, a lesson.

By emphasizing Divine Thought Master, he was warning Seventeen to be wary of Ling Chen’s Divine Soul Attack techniques.

He was very confident in Seventeen.

After all, Seventeen was in the fourth layer of the Primordial Pill Realm.

Definitely not someone a top-tier novice Divine Thought Master could defeat!

Early stage Divine Souls might be useful against cultivators below the fourth layer of the Primordial Pill Realm, but probably not much use against those above the fourth layer!

"Nineteen, please!"

Seventeen grinned at Ling Chen and went first into the Spirit Array.

"Good!"

Ling Chen nodded and entered as he was told.

At this moment, Star Shura looked at Ling Xiuluo and smiled: "This time, we might need Lord Ling Xiuluo to take action."

"No problem."

Ling Xiuluo immediately agreed.

After all, Divine Soul Attacks couldn’t be blocked by mere Spiritual Power.

Although they had enough to protect themselves, saving others might be beyond their capabilities!

"Fifteen, you and the others go behind Lord Ling Xiuluo!"

Star Shura spoke.

"Yes."

Fifteen and the others immediately responded and then moved behind Ling Xiuluo.
