Casting a helpless glance at his cousin, Mu Yang showed a look of sympathy before taking out several Scarlet Jade Rejuvenation Ginseng from his soul tool storage necklace. He distributed them to the members of the Blazing Fire Team to help them recover from their earlier training session.
After consuming a Scarlet Jade Rejuvenation Ginseng, apart from Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu, the others—Huo Yun and Huo Yu, who hadn't expended much soul power—recovered almost completely. As for Huo Chui and Huo Jun, who had yet to reach four rings, their soul power was instantly replenished to full.
The auxiliary abilities of Food-type Soul Masters differed somewhat from those of Support-type Soul Masters.
For Support-type Soul Masters, the consumption of soul power varied based on the strength of the target. The lower the target's level, the less soul power was required. However, when assisting someone stronger than themselves, most Support-type Soul Masters—aside from a few with special martial souls—would find their soul skills weakened or even completely ineffective.
In contrast, Food-type Soul Masters consumed a fixed amount of soul power to create food-based soul skills. This meant that if a Food-type Soul Master's soul food had a non-fixed effect, it could yield a significantly greater benefit when consumed by lower-level soul masters.
For example, Mu Yang's Scarlet Jade Rejuvenation Ginseng had its effectiveness limited by the soul skill's age. While its effect on same-level soul masters wasn't particularly outstanding, it could allow lower-level soul masters to recover more than half—or even all—of their soul power.
Afterward, under the leadership of the soon-to-be "retired" captain, Huo Wushuang, the seven of them began discussing tactics.
Well, there actually wasn't much to discuss—Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu would take the lead in attacking, while Agility-type Soul Masters Huo Yun and Huo Yu would provide support. Mu Yang, though fully capable of protecting himself, lacked strong offensive capabilities as a Food-type Soul Master. Meanwhile, Huo Chui and Huo Jun—who had yet to reach four rings—would support Huo Yun and Huo Yu, occasionally assisting Huo Wu when necessary.
Although Huo Yun and Huo Yu hadn't reached four rings and had a massive gap in strength compared to the level 58 Soul King, Huo Wu, their roles as Support-type Soul Masters were somewhat unique. Their soul skills didn't enhance attributes by a percentage, meaning that even with their lower levels, they could still provide a certain degree of support for Huo Wu.
Otherwise, the Blazing Fire Academy wouldn't have assigned two relatively low-level Support-type Soul Masters to occupy two of the seven main spots in the Blazing Fire Team.
Before long, the three-minute discussion ended, and Yan Zhenming—who was both their training opponent and referee—announced the start of training.
"Third Soul Skill—Crimson Flame Dragon Transformation!"
"Second Soul Skill—Shadow of the Firebath!"
As soon as the battle began, Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu activated their amplification-type soul skills, causing their aura to surge dramatically.
At the same time, behind Huo Yun and Huo Yu, fiery wings manifested as they flapped and soared into the air.
"First Soul Skill—Meteor Shower!"
Immediately after, Huo Chui and Huo Jun's first soul rings lit up, and countless fiery sparks shot out. The surrounding fire elements condensed into countless tiny red light particles, swiftly gathering together.
As the red light particles merged, the fire sparks rapidly expanded. Once fully formed, they shot toward Huo Yun and Huo Yu, embedding themselves into their bodies.
With each spark that entered them, Huo Yun and Huo Yu's auras grew even stronger.
The two hadn't applied any buffs to Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu—after all, with three rings versus five rings, the gap was simply too vast, and their support effects would have been negligible. Moreover, Huo Wu hadn't yet activated her special ability, meaning it wasn't the right time to apply buffs.
While his six teammates took action, Mu Yang naturally didn't just stand around watching.
"Essence of all things in Heaven and Earth—Green Jade!"
"Essence of all things in Heaven and Earth—Blue Jade!"
As Mu Yang chanted his soul incantations, his Icefire Immortal Jade Ginseng Martial Soul materialized. His fourth and fifth soul rings flickered in rapid succession. Accompanied by bursts of jade-green and Bule light, two jade-green ginseng and two Blue ginseng instantly condensed and were then thrown to Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu.
Although he didn't possess the unique buff that allowed unrestricted use of sub-Seven Ring soul skills in a Martial Soul True Body state, casting the same soul skill twice consecutively wasn't an issue for him.
After all, the so-called "soul skill cooldown time" existed because soul masters struggled to endure the strain of frequent soul skill activation.
Why could a Titled Douluo repeatedly cast their first soul skill but not their ninth?
It was because Titled Douluo had superior endurance, allowing them to withstand the strain of consecutive low-year soul skill activations.
This burden could be alleviated or even eliminated by improving one's physical constitution. With diligent training, a soul master could enhance their adaptability, reducing the cooldown time between soul skills and enabling consecutive casts.
For example, his little girlfriend Shui Bing'er could consecutively cast her first soul skill, Ice Seal, and her second soul skill, Ice Ring Armor.
After throwing the four soul power ginsengs to Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu, Mu Yang lightly tapped the ground with his foot, pivoted his body, and positioned himself in front of Huo Chui and Huo Jun, shielding them.
Mu Yang: As a qualified future captain, I should protect my teammates!
As for supplying soul power food to the other four teammates?
There was no need for Green Jade Defensive Ginseng. Their sparring partner, Yan Zhenming, was a Seven-Ring Battle Soul Sage. The power gap was far too great—damage reduction buffs wouldn't make a difference. Even if Green Jade Defensive Ginseng took full effect without any reduction, granting a 30% reduction in physical and energy-based damage, the four of them still wouldn't withstand a single strike.
On the other hand, Blue Jade Thorn Ginseng would be quite useful, but Mu Yang had just crafted two and lacked the immediate ability to produce four more. He needed some time to recover.
As for Red Jade Soul Recovery Ginseng, Orange Jade Blood Replenishing Ginseng, and Yellow Jade Detoxification Ginseng, the first two weren't necessary at the moment, and the last one wasn't needed at all.
Seeing Mu Yang "hiding" behind them, Huo Chui and Huo Jun couldn't help but twitch their lips.
Even though Mu Yang was a Food-type Soul Master and had spent most of his time away from the academy over the years, the two brothers had heard countless times from Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu about their cousin's prowess. They knew that Mu Yang, despite being a Food-type Soul Master, was anything but conventional. His mastery of self-created soul skills made him practically invincible among his peers, even capable of challenging higher-level opponents.
Yet this so-called "great expert" actually had the nerve to hide behind them—two Support-type Soul Masters?
At that moment, Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu consumed the Green Jade Defensive Ginseng and Blue Jade Thorn Ginseng that Mu Yang had thrown to them. As soon as the soul power ginsengs took effect, a crystalline radiance and a deep black glow immediately enveloped them.
"Defense… or something else?"
Yan Zhenming, who had yet to learn the effects of Green Jade Defensive Ginseng and Blue Jade Thorn Ginseng, raised an eyebrow as he watched the soul power glow emanating from the two of them, silently speculating about their abilities.
However, without prior knowledge, accurately determining the effects of the two soul power ginsengs just from the energy fluctuations alone was no simple task.
The deep black glow was easier to interpret—it exuded an aura of extreme sturdiness, likely indicating a defensive enhancement. But that layer of crystalline radiance? Yan Zhenming had absolutely no clue what it might do.
Mu Yang: His wild guesses are ridiculous!
Still, not knowing the effects didn't really matter. Yan Zhenming was confident that he could break through whatever it was with sheer force.
No matter how fancy or mysterious the abilities were, he was a dignified Seven-Ring Battle Soul Sage. Could two Soul Kings who had merely eaten some soul power food really pose a threat to him?
Impossible!
