Chapter 988 Legendary Skin
There are clearly two kinds of creatures in this other-dimensional space, but the space is named after the Yin-Yang Soul Warriors: Yin-Yang Soul Different Dimension Space.
Why?
Of course, it's because the Yin-Yang Soul Warriors' star beads are more useful to humans.
Jiang Xiao was sitting in a relatively open mountainous area, with rolling hills visible in the distance, overgrown with weeds underfoot, and a clear blue sky overhead, but the scenery within sight was somewhat desolate.
Jiang Xiao carefully sized up the Yin-Yang Soul Warrior, unable to help but marvel inwardly.
Is this guy's skin really made of jade?
Jiang Xiao had seen this kind of skin texture before, in the Central Plains, with the auspicious beast clan. Their skin was colorful, warm and jade-like to the touch, and looked like jade.
But the auspicious beasts only "resembled" jade, while the skin of this Yin-Yang Soul Warrior was truly jade!
As black as ink, shining brightly!
Is this black jade?
Jiang Xiao kicked away the Yin-Yang Soul Warrior's bamboo hat and saw a jet-black face, the complete opposite of the White-Faced Dancer.
Although the eyes were also blood-red, this face was thoroughly black. If you closed your eyes and mouth, and looked from a distance, it would really look like an uncarved piece of black jade.
Lin Wan琰 lowered the jade flute from her lips, her eyes gradually turning red, and in the blink of an eye, dark clouds filled the sky.
Clearly, Lin Wan琰 also possessed star techniques from the Rain of Tears lineage of the Eight Min Lands. Such star techniques were naturally inaccessible to ordinary people, but as a Night Watcher, a Light Chaser, she had still applied for such a star bead.
"Over there, the creature groups over there are clearly denser, likely closer to the Holy Ruins," Lin Wan琰 said, pointing in a direction.
"Let's go," Jiang Xiao said, placing a hand on Lin Wan琰's shoulder. "My Star Chart increases the quality of star techniques and can further amplify their abilities, so my Space-Time Gap can carry people."
Lin Wan琰 was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Of course, she knew that Jiang Xiao's Big Dipper Nine Star Chart could increase the quality of his star techniques. Before, when Jiang Xiao was carrying out missions, he had repeatedly used the Star Chart to enhance the effect of his star techniques as an excuse to explain the special effects of his high-quality star techniques.
A typical example was Jiang Xiao's Clock-Bell star technique. Ordinary people's Clock-Bell could only heal the body, but Jiang Xiao's Clock-Bell could heal people's minds and calm them down quickly. This was something everyone knew.
And this situation, since Jiang Xiao truly advanced to the Star Sea stage and transformed stars into martial arts, he had become even more unrestrained.
The Star Chart's effect was indeed very strong, but what truly surprised Lin Wan琰 was that, in addition to the Star Chart's ability to enhance the effects of star techniques, the other two effects of Jiang Xiao's transformation of stars into martial arts were related to time and space.
Lin Wan琰 didn't understand much about the space aspect; it wasn't mentioned in the information, and she couldn't ask about it.
But this time, by carrying out missions with Jiang Xiao, Lin Wan琰 gained a superficial understanding of Jiang Xiao's use of the time aspect of his star-transformation into martial prowess.
After all, the two of them had come here to trace time and capture criminals, so Lin Wan琰 had only briefly come into contact with this information.
One Star Chart, three effects of star-transformation into martial prowess?
Simply a god-level auxiliary Star Chart!
Jiang Xiao placed a hand on Lin Wan琰's shoulder, and the two of them instantly traversed space, finding themselves in a dense forest.
"Do~"
The moment the two appeared, a note sounded.
"Crack!"
Another sound of jade breaking!
In the forest ahead, a figure's expression suddenly changed, and it retreated rapidly. Jiang Xiao suddenly raised his hand, and a blessing of light descended.
A Gold-level Yin-Yang Soul Warrior shouldn't have been so不堪 (bukan -不堪, in this context means 'pathetic'), but in its panic, it actually failed to dodge the descending blessing of light.
In an instant, the Yin-Yang Soul Warrior fell heavily to the ground.
Lin Wan琰 clearly had no interest in slaughtering Yin-Yang Soul Warriors. Her eyes filled with tears, she looked around, and pointed in a direction again: "It's probably that way."
"Mm." Jiang Xiao also ignored the black jade figure. He placed his hand on Lin Wan琰's shoulder again and said, "It's really mutual love and killing, ah. It's said that this sound-based star technique only has miraculous effects on special targets and doesn't cause much damage to ordinary creatures?"
Whoosh...
The two stood on top of a mountain again. Lin Wan琰 closed her eyes, searching and confirming the distribution of creatures, while explaining, "Yes, I'm using the ordinary star technique 'Soul-Shattering Flute,' which is only Silver quality."
Lin Wan琰 continued, "Although the White-Faced Dancer is only a Silver-level creature, its star technique can inflict extremely strong damage on a Gold-level Yin-Yang Soul Warrior.
"This Soul-Shattering Flute star technique only has a miraculous effect on killing Yin-Yang Soul Warriors, and doesn't cause much damage when attacking other targets.
"According to the research results of the Lu Dong Star Association, it should be due to the creature's characteristics.
"The Yin-Yang Soul Warrior's body structure is very easily interfered with by the special sound of the Soul-Shattering Flute, and that special jade-like body structure is easily destroyed by this sound."
As she spoke, Lin Wan琰 indicated a direction again: "That way."
Jiang Xiao nodded inwardly. The two figures flickered again.
The White-Faced Dancer's star techniques were very interesting. There were three, all of Silver quality.
1, Dance Flute: Summons a star power instrument shaped like a flute.
2, Soul-Calming Flute: Uses the Dance Flute to release a melody filled with star power that can calm targets within the sound's range, having a certain tranquilizing effect.
Note: This is a non-discriminatory group star technique. Anyone who hears the sound will have their mind soothed.
3, Soul-Shattering Flute: Uses the Dance Flute to release musical notes that can launch sound wave attacks on a single target, having a deterrent effect on ghost-type creatures.
Note: This is a single-target offensive star technique. The damage inflicted on the target is not from the sound, but from the invisible sound shockwave.
Why are they called dancers when they wield sound-based star techniques?
Because... don't let their scary appearances fool you, the state of dancing with a flute is truly beautiful!
That graceful dance seems to be carved into their bones, flowing in their blood. If you come to the Yin-Yang Soul Different Dimension to explore, as long as you have enough patience, you will definitely see the White-Faced Dancers dancing gracefully.
As long as you mentally censor the face of the White-Faced Dancer, the one dancing before you is definitely an absolutely stunning beauty.
The White-Faced Dancer is relatively low in intelligence and can't be called ferocious in nature, but they won't waste food that's delivered to their mouths.
The White-Faced Dancer's "Soul-Shattering Flute" star technique doesn't cause much damage to other creatures, but to the Yin-Yang Soul Warriors in this space, this star technique is truly a killing god technique.
This also led to a very strange distribution of creatures in the entire space. The White-Faced Dancers, known for their support, mostly acted alone. When members of the same clan met, they might even greet each other...
White-Faced Dancer 1: "Have you eaten?"
White-Faced Dancer 2: "Not yet, not hungry. I'm dieting recently, absorbing star power is enough."
White-Faced Dancer 1: "I'm telling you, black jade is really nourishing for the body. Next time you encounter a lone Yin-Yang Soul Warrior, don't let it go. Using their bodies to pave the bed is awesome!"
White-Faced Dancer 2: "Really? I'll try it..."
......
The Yin-Yang Soul Warrior clan here is relatively high in intelligence, but they mostly appear in groups.
This is the wonder of the Yin-Yang Soul Different Dimension Space: auxiliary star beasts act alone, while output star beasts appear in groups...
These poor warriors, who should have been lonely kings, were forced into becoming gregarious creatures by a group of flute-playing supporters...
And the Yin-Yang Soul Warriors are relatively violent and combative. Their intelligence above the passing line allows them to suppress their nature, but the pent-up fire always needs to be vented.
Whether it's internal strife within the clan or teaming up to hunt White-Faced Dancers, this is the core issue that the Yin-Yang Soul Warrior clan has faced for a long time.
The Yin-Yang Soul Warrior possesses both Yin Soul and Yang Soul forms, both of which are combat output star techniques.
Relying on their powerful output star techniques and the suppression in ranks, as long as there are enough people, hunting a White-Faced Dancer is easy to succeed.
As for the price...
This other-dimensional space doesn't have healing star techniques, and that black jade body shatters when touched by sound shockwaves, so...
The Yin-Yang Soul Warrior's output star techniques are basically standard equipment for Lu Dong's agile warriors and shield warriors.
They have three star techniques:
1, Soul: Silver quality, can transform the physical body into Yin Soul and Yang Soul forms, lasting for 2 seconds.
2, Yin: Silver quality, in Yin Soul form, can release Yin Souls to impact targets, with a certain impact force and minor soul damage.
3, Yang: Gold quality, in Yang Soul form, enhances various physical attributes, increasing defense.
In other words, in the Yin Soul state, if attacked by the Dancer's musical notes, the Soul Warrior will basically be in a state of utter despair.
And in the Yang Soul state, no matter how much you increase your defense, the essence of your body structure is still there; it will still shatter...
But for humans, at least in the "Yang Soul" state, there's no need to worry so much. After all, humans are flesh and blood and won't shatter at the touch of musical notes.
Logically speaking, Lu Dong's battle system, with such special star techniques, should be able to carve out a bloody path and occupy a place within China.
But it depends on who you're comparing yourself to.
Are you going to compare yourself to the ghost monk clan of the Central Plains?
Are you going to compare yourself to the shadow lineage of Tianjin?
Are you going to compare yourself to the desperate lineage of Yan Zhao?
Two seconds of true manliness limited the men of Lu Dong. Strictly from the perspective of star technique effects, the Yin-Yang Soul is indeed inferior to shadow and desperation.
The Yin-Yang Soul Warrior star technique can barely compete with the star techniques of the Central Plains ghost monks.
The star techniques of the Central Plains ghost monks are also inferior to those of Tianjin and Yan Zhao, but why is the phrase "Central Plains produces agile warriors" recognized throughout China?
Because "soft power" is here. The ghost monks are true weapon masters, masters of combat techniques.
Without a doubt, this is a matter of star technique quality.
Jiang Xiao believed that if the duration of the "Soul" star technique wasn't 2 seconds, even if it was increased by 1 second to 3 seconds, the story would be completely different.
Even if the quality of that "Yin Soul" star technique was raised by one level, reaching the Gold level to match the Yang Soul, as long as the impact force and output damage were increased, the story would definitely be different.
Whoosh...
In a flash, Jiang Xiao saw the sides of Lin Wan琰 next to him, suddenly appearing with pieces of white paper.
Lin Wan琰 expression was stern, and she said, "Right in front, should I go?"
Jiang Xiao looked at Lin Wan琰's cool, dark Night Watcher uniform, covered in dense pieces of paper, and he watched as dots of black ink appeared on the paper. He couldn't help but ask, "You want to rush in and use paper and ink to bomb?"
Lin Wan琰 stood on the mountain, looking into the distance at the rolling hills, and she saw the Holy Ruins gate blooming in the high sky.
She nodded firmly: "We are both support, we have very few output star techniques, and you are focused on weapon skills, lacking high-burst-type star techniques.
"I'll do it, the Holy Ruins gate is extremely unstable, as long as I detonate it around the Holy Ruins gate.
"You guard me, and after one song, I'll unleash a rain of paper and ink."
As she spoke, Lin Wan琰, draped in a robe of paper and ink, picked up the jade flute in her hand again, and the ink on her layers of paper had outlined a pattern of pine and cypress.
Under the slanting drizzle, the wet paper and ink clothing swayed gently, as if the pine and cypress had "come alive," swaying in the wind, with a great sense of layering.
This ink,
Surprisingly, it wouldn't be wetted or washed away by the rain...
Jiang Xiao recognized this star technique. Having thoroughly studied Lin Wan琰's data, he knew that this "paper and ink clothing" also came from a local other-dimensional space in Lu Dong.
Jiang Xiao looked towards the horizon, watching the White-Faced Dancers and Yin-Yang Soul Warriors falling like dumplings, and he said, "Your Soul-Shattering Flute is a single-target star technique, you won't kill them faster than they're surging out of the Holy Ruins, right?"
As he spoke, Jiang Xiao raised his right hand and said, "Besides, with me here, it's your turn to charge into battle?"
Lin Wan琰's palm stiffened slightly, and she suddenly looked up, only to see a behemoth completely covering her entire world.
In the pitter-patter of the drizzle, the giant creature swam slowly, and an ethereal voice floated in the rain: "Om..."
Jiang Xiao thought of a scene in his mind, silently chanting: "Sea Vortex, do your thing."
"Om..."
The next moment, in this dense water element environment, countless raindrops were directly conscripted, and a giant vortex rose from the ground, the sturdy Yin-Yang Soul Warriors and the slender White-Faced Dancers seeming to turn into weak ants.
Faced with this kind of natural disaster, they had no ability to resist, they could only frantically flee in all directions, or passively endure this anger from the heavens.
The giant vortex rotated rapidly, instantly swallowing the Holy Ruins. Two short seconds later, the entire space suddenly shook.
Mountains and rivers swayed, and the earth was torn apart.
Jiang Xiao flashed and sat directly on the head of the Buzzing Whale, touching its soft skin: "Thank you, I'll play with you when we get back!"
"Om..."
Whoosh.
The vast figure that could block out the sky disappeared silently, and layer upon layer of rich star power frantically poured into Jiang Xiao's body.
Lin Wan琰 looked up at Jiang Xiao, who was falling freely. As the endless star power finally poured into Jiang Xiao's chest, he immediately flashed back in front of Lin Wan琰: "Let's go."
Looking at the young man in front of her, Lin Wan琰 smiled wryly. She almost... had the wrong idea about her positioning.
This is... the legendary Pi God (皮神 - literally 'mischievous god' but colloquially used for someone who is very powerful and reliable), ah!
