Chapter 5 Double Entry: Insight into Weaknesses for Absolute First Strike.
"Xiao Feng, try attacking me."
Man Yi activated her fourth soul skill for defense.
Since she was testing the power of her soul skills, she didn't need to worry about Tang Feng breaking through her defenses, so she didn't take many precautions.
Otherwise, even as a Title Douluo, Man Yi would find it very troublesome.
Tang Feng's first two soul skills had caused her considerable suffering.
Especially his first soul skill, which could ignore level differences, break through any defense, and remove soul tools.
Originally, Man Yi could have neutralized it by shattering the Blue Silver Grass.
However, she encountered the absurd second soul skill.
Tang Feng's second soul skill was called Spider Web Binding, the same name as Tang San's third soul skill, but with completely different effects.
In terms of attack speed, even a Title Douluo couldn't keep up with Tang Feng's Spider Web.
What's even more infuriating is that Spider Web Binding, once it hits an enemy, can also remove all defenses.
Since becoming a Title Douluo, Man Yi had never felt so frustrated in a battle against a Title Douluo.
"Grandma Manyi, be careful."
Tang Feng held the Blue Silver Spear.
The Nebula Douluo Manyi in his eyes was completely different.
If it were before, facing Manyi's fourth soul skill, Nebula Barrier, he would have no other way but to use the Armor Removal skill.
However, at this moment, the soul power structure of the Nebula Barrier appeared in his mind like a 3D diagram.
The most peculiar thing was that he could see the details of the soul power flow of the Nebula Barrier and find its weak points.
Even the Nebula Douluo herself had never discovered this special node.
Because the weakness of the Nebula Barrier would change with the starlight each time.
Not to mention outsiders, even Manyi herself would find it very difficult to deduce the specific location.
"Blue Silver Overlord's Thrust!"
Tang Feng gripped the Blue Silver Spear tightly.
He channeled all his soul power, locked onto the weak point of the barrier's interweaving, and threw it directly.
In an instant, the Blue Silver Spear turned into a blur, piercing straight into the Nebula Barrier.
As the fourth soul skill of a Title Douluo, it only lasted a few breaths before being forcibly broken by the Blue Silver Spear.
Keep in mind, this was Tang Feng breaking through a Title Douluo's defense with the strength of a Soul Master.
"Hiss~"
Both the Mighty Douluo and the Heavenly Fiend Douluo couldn't help but gasp.
It was unimaginable what kind of miserable state someone would be in if they sparred with Tang Feng at the same level.
Just Tang Feng's special method of piercing the nebula barrier alone was enough to make his peers unable to raise their heads.
"You used your first soul skill?"
Manyi asked incredulously.
Because she knew that Tang Feng's first soul skill possessed the divine effect of forcibly disarming and breaking through all defenses.
If his first soul skill were added to the Blue Silver Spear, it would be an invincible weapon.
"This is a characteristic of my third soul skill."
"It can keenly detect the enemy's weaknesses and take the best attack method."
Tang Feng shook his head.
After breaking through to the Soul Master level, he activated another conceptual entry called [Insight into Weaknesses].
[Insight into Weakness]: Once a target's weakness is discovered, they will inevitably compromise, resulting in a 100% critical hit.
Tang Feng was able to pierce the Nebula Barrier with his Blue Silver Overlord's Dagger because the Nebula Barrier "compromised."
Even a defense at the Title Douluo level was still broken by its critical hit.
More importantly, Insight into Weakness is a conceptual term, not just effective for Soul Skills.
As long as Tang Feng finds the enemy's weakness, he can also manipulate their mind, making them completely compromise.
"Little Feng, I'm afraid I can't beat you." Xu Jiujiu suddenly felt very weak.
The Star Crown Martial Soul had once shone brightly on the Douluo Continent.
Otherwise, the Star Luo Royal Family would still be the lineage of the White Tiger Duke, not the Star Crown Sect.
The Star Crown Sect's contributions to the Star Luo Empire were so great that the Dai family even relinquished the throne.
Even though Xu Jiujiu is now a Soul King, she believes she can't last three rounds against Tang Feng.
"From now on, I'll be the big brother, and the big brother will be responsible for protecting little sister Jiu Jiu."
Tang Feng ruffled Jiu Jiu's hair.
This golden retriever feels so comfortable to touch, but it might bite if you anger it occasionally.
"Why does your Life Blue Silver Grass always seem to have strange attributes?"
"My Star Crown Martial Soul, however, remains unchanged."
Xu Jiujiu rolled her eyes at Tang Feng.
She was already used to Tang Feng's unconventional personality.
Even though he was a few years younger than her, he always wanted her to call him "brother," it was almost an obsession.
"Sister Jiujiu, even if you shatter your Star Crown Martial Soul, it won't change anything."
Tang Feng's lips twitched.
He had these special attribute bonuses because of a certain concept-level entry.
Both his Life Blue Silver Grass and his first three soul skills benefited from the enhancement of this concept-level entry.
When he advanced to a Great Soul Master, he obtained a concept-level entry called [Absolute First Strike].
[Absolute First Strike]: No matter when you strike, you can hit the enemy first.
This absurd soul skill caused the three Title Douluos present to suffer a lot.
Every time they sparred with Tang Feng, their defenses were practically nonexistent, and they would be humiliated and beaten without exception.
"It's getting late."
"Let's leave the Star Dou Great Forest as soon as possible and return to Star Luo City first." Xu Jiujiu decided to leave first.
Even with three Title Douluos by her side, the Star Dou Great Forest was still not safe enough.
"Let's go."
Tang Feng didn't want to stay any longer either.
He possessed the inheritance of the Goddess of Life, so he wasn't afraid of those ferocious beasts.
The problem was that some ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts were stupid and insisted on trying to eat him.
In the Star Dou Great Forest, Tang Feng was like a walking piece of Tang Sanzang's flesh; many ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts wanted to devour his life essence to accelerate their strength.
"Finally, we can go back."
Xu Jiujiu could finally relax and no longer worry about soul beasts suddenly appearing.
Under normal circumstances, she was responsible for protecting Tang Feng closely, while the other Title Douluos dealt with the attacking soul beasts.
At the most outrageous times, there were hundreds of soul beasts charging at them recklessly.
One Title Douluo, Man Yi, simply couldn't handle them all, but fortunately, three of them were dispatched this time.
The group returned to Star Luo City.
Before Xu Jiujiu and Tang Feng could even return to the princess's residence, they were summoned to the palace by guards.
"What does His Majesty want with us?"
Tang Feng asked, bewildered.
If His Majesty was curious about his soul skills, he could have simply asked Xu Jiujiu and the three princes; there was no need to summon him specifically.
"I don't know," Xu Jiujiu shook her head.
After entering the palace, their route gradually began to deviate.
Normally, when Xu Jiawei summoned Tang Feng, it was either for a family banquet in the Imperial Garden or for discussing serious matters in the main hall.
This route, however, wasn't leading to the main hall or the Imperial Garden.
"The Treasure Vault?"
Xu Jiujiu observed the path.
She discovered it led towards the Treasure Vault.
The Imperial Treasure Vault held most of the Star Luo Empire's treasures.
Apart from the Star Luo royal family, very few outsiders were qualified to enter.
"You two, come in with me," Wang Xian'er beckoned to them.
They didn't see Xu Jiawei, but instead encountered the Healing Immortal Douluo.
This person is usually very busy and rarely seen; she's like a dragon whose head is seen but not its tail.
"Grandma Xian'er, why did my brother summon us to the treasure vault?"
Xu Jiujiu wondered.
Even she, his sister, couldn't fathom her brother's unusual behavior.
Let alone Tang Feng, who knew little about the Star Luo royal family—he only knew her.
