Du Guyan looked at Xu Yang after he put on the glasses, then stared at the carving knife on the table. She became instantly curious and reached out to take the glasses off his nose, putting them on herself.
"You~" Xu Yang didn't know how to respond.
"Wow! These single-lens glasses actually have a magnification effect. Everything in the distance looks so clear. I can even see the pores on Lingling's face!" Du Guyan, wearing the glasses, exclaimed.
Ye Lingling, who had been showing off her ice cream, immediately shot her a dark look. "You can exclaim all you want, but why do you have to use me as an example?!"
Also, the girl was naturally beautiful, so how could she have pores like that?
Ignoring Ye Lingling's angry stare, Du Guyan continued looking around with the glasses. To her, the single-lens glasses made by Xu Yang were like a fun toy. She kept glancing this way and that, thoroughly enjoying herself.
"Du Guyan, could you return them now?" Xu Yang asked helplessly, watching her eagerly.
"Let me play with them a little longer. I'll give them back soon!" Du Guyan clearly wasn't done yet. She walked over to the window and started observing the outside environment, occasionally running over to verify something she saw in the distance.
Xu Yang shook his head in resignation and pulled out a book about soul tools from his storage ring, flipping through it.
"Soul light rays! Soul guide propulsion devices! I'll start with these two!"
These two types of soul tools were rare in the book and were actually useful in combat. The others were all home-use tools like lamps and stoves, which didn't interest him much. If he had free time, he might make them.
What caught Xu Yang's attention the most in the book was a type of soul tool that resembled an engine. With this tool, he could create all kinds of transportation on Douluo Continent, but his current level as a soul master and his soul power were insufficient to make them.
"You can have this back… Xu Yang, could you make one for me too? I think this thing is quite useful!"
Before long, Du Guyan reluctantly returned the single-lens glasses to Xu Yang. After hesitating for a moment, she spoke again.
"I'll make one for you when I have the time."
"That's a deal!" Du Guyan smiled and nodded.
Xu Yang stored the glasses back into his storage ring. The next order of business was team training. No one could be absent. The so-called training was actually a series of team battles. Each time, the teams were different. The goal was to familiarize themselves with their teammates' soul skills and build mutual trust and coordination.
Today, Du Guyan was his teammate, and they would face the remaining six members.
"Are you ready?" Xu Yang asked.
"Ready!" everyone replied in unison.
"Then let's begin!"
With Qin Ming's command, both teams activated their martial souls almost simultaneously, positioning themselves in opposition.
"Xu Yang, I may not be able to defeat you one-on-one, but I don't believe that we six can't defeat you and Du Guyan!"
Yu Tianheng, surrounded by lightning, his thunderbolt symbols glowing brightly, had a serious expression on his face. The Stone brothers, Ao Si Luo, and Yu Feng all shared the same level of seriousness. Ye Lingling stood behind the five of them, holding her Nine Heart Sea-dou, her face full of determination.
After spending some time with Xu Yang, everyone had come to realize just how terrifying his strength was. Even with six of them, one small mistake could lead to defeat.
"I'm looking forward to it!" Xu Yang said with a smile.
"First soul skill: Azure Scale Red Poison!"
"Second soul skill: Azure Scale Blue Poison!"
Du Guyan's two yellow soul rings lit up. She opened her mouth and immediately released a breath of red and blue poison. Her two soul skills, though classified as control-type, were also excellent for support.
Her first soul skill, Azure Scale Red Poison, also known as Excitement Poison, could stimulate the nervous system, increasing the user's attack power and speed by 20%.
The second, Azure Scale Blue Poison, also known as Paralysis Poison, could numb the pain nerves, increasing defense by 30%.
After Du Guyan released both poisons, Xu Yang only felt his adrenaline surge, enhancing all of his abilities. He looked up at Yu Tianheng and the others, a bloodthirsty smile spreading across his face.
"Second soul skill: Split!"
"Scatter! Let's attack from all directions! Lingling, remember to heal us when necessary!"
Seeing Xu Yang's purple soul ring light up, Yu Tianheng's face changed drastically. He immediately ordered his teammates to scatter, rushing toward Xu Yang himself.
"First soul skill: Thunderclap Dragon Claw!"
Yu Tianheng's right hand morphed into a massive claw and shot forward with incredible speed. The Thunderclap Dragon Claw, in this form, was a ranged attack that was not only quick but also far more powerful than when used in close combat.
The enormous dragon claw tore through the air and reached Xu Yang in the blink of an eye.
"Unfortunately, this move won't work on me!"
Xu Yang sneered. His soul power surged beneath his feet, and his body quickly moved backward. At the same time, his hand flicked, and a small sun emerged from the back of his head, flying straight in front of the Thunderclap Dragon Claw.
"Boom!"
The dragon claw was completely neutralized as the sun's soul power shredded the lightning apart.
"Second soul skill: Azure Scale Blue Poison!"
Taking advantage of the moment, Du Guyan opened her mouth and released a large wave of blue toxic mist. It spread out like a poison wave, forcing Yu Tianheng and the others to dodge.
Though the Azure Scale Blue Poison increased defense, excessive exposure would numb the body, slow reaction time, and even paralyze movement.
This was why Du Guyan, though capable of enhancing others, was classified as a control-type soul master. If the opponent couldn't resist the poison, their movements would be severely limited.
"Second soul skill: Blowback!"
Yu Feng, in mid-air, quickly moved in front of Ye Lingling and activated his second soul skill. A pair of giant wings appeared behind him, and he began flapping them vigorously, creating a powerful wind that blew the toxic mist back toward the attackers.
"Xu Yang, watch out!"
Seeing the poison nearing Xu Yang, Du Guyan couldn't help but shout a warning. Her poison control wasn't as precise as her grandfather's, and the wind attribute soul masters were especially dangerous because they could easily blow the mist back.
Even poison soul masters couldn't fully resist their own toxins.
"Don't worry, the poison won't work on me!"
Xu Yang's calm voice rang out, and before the mist could reach him, it began floating upward, automatically bypassing his body. Not only that, Du Guyan could sense that all the poison near Xu Yang had been neutralized by intense heat, losing its toxic effect.
