Chapter 157: Chapter 156: The Astonishing Defense of Susanoo!
Despite Susanoo's slightly weaker weaponry compared to Kamui's unparalleled life-saving capabilities, Su Ming was still willing to accept it for now.
The trio of Da Ming, Er Ming, and Xiao Wu was utterly stunned by Su Ming's ability, something they had never encountered before.
Just the sight of the massive blue humanoid figure inspired an overwhelming sense of fear.
With a faint smile, Su Ming said, "Er Ming, what do you think of this ability? This is one of the powers of my Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. This humanoid energy construct can both attack and defend. I call it Susanoo!"
"Don't underestimate this ability. Although its weaponry is a bit lacking at the moment, I believe that even with your strength, you won't be able to break through its defense!"
Hearing this, Er Ming felt offended. Renowned for his immense power, he couldn't accept the idea that he couldn't break through Su Ming's defense, especially since Su Ming was merely a Spirit Ancestor!
Even though Su Ming's Wood Dragon could unleash the power of a Spirit Douluo, boasting tenacious vitality and the ability to absorb spirit energy to grow stronger, Er Ming believed that if he got serious, he could obliterate the Wood Dragon in an instant.
However, Er Ming was destined for disappointment. The Wood Dragon, formed from the trees of this world and enhanced by various boosts, was incomparable to Susanoo, which drew power from beyond this realm.
To put it simply, at this stage, Su Ming's strongest techniques weren't derived from his Wood Release but rather from Susanoo and Kamui. Only when Su Ming's strength grew enough to enhance his Wood Release further could it approach the might of the legendary Thousand-Handed Overlord's techniques and rival his Susanoo.
For now, Su Ming's Wood Release was insignificant before his full-body Susanoo!
"Er Ming, let's test the power of Susanoo's weaponry!" Su Ming said confidently.
Er Ming's massive head nodded seriously after a moment of hesitation. He felt the need to treat this seriously, as Susanoo emanated an unexplainable pressure.
Su Ming then controlled the blue Susanoo to casually launch a giant shuriken toward Er Ming's right arm.
"Kamui!"
Just as Er Ming was preparing to block the fast-approaching shuriken, it suddenly disappeared. In the next instant, it reappeared directly in front of him.
Bang!
The shuriken struck Er Ming's right arm, only to rebound harmlessly, leaving just a faint scratch on his skin.
For a moment, silence filled the air.
Su Ming felt so embarrassed he wanted to dig a hole to hide in. Sure enough, a normal shuriken wasn't enough to penetrate Er Ming's defenses. He really needed a divine weapon!
While Obito's Susanoo was impressive overall, its offense was undeniably its weak point. The shuriken, combined with Kamui's element of surprise, was effective against unprepared opponents. But against someone like Er Ming, with thick skin and immense resilience, it was almost useless.
However, Da Ming and Er Ming weren't particularly bothered. After all, the weapon looked quite ordinary—just oversized. What shocked them was how the shuriken suddenly appeared right in front of Er Ming. A spatial ability?
Da Ming asked curiously, "Su Ming, just now, when the weapon disappeared and reappeared suddenly, was that caused by the second ability of your eyes?"
Su Ming nodded and replied, "Yes, the second ability of my eyes is called Kamui. It's a space-type skill that allows me to shorten the distance a weapon travels through space."
Da Ming and Er Ming had seen space-related abilities before, such as Xiao Wu's third spirit skill, Teleportation, but Su Ming's was clearly on a whole other level. Its applications were undoubtedly much broader!
Er Ming's deep voice rumbled, "Su Ming, this Kamui ability of yours is quite impressive, but your weapon is definitely lacking."
Su Ming, slightly embarrassed by the critique, chuckled and replied, "Yes, the weapon is indeed a bit underwhelming. I'll replace it with something stronger in the future. For now, why don't you test the defensive power of my Susanoo? I guarantee you won't be able to break it!"
Su Ming was extremely confident in Susanoo's defense. Based on his calculations, it was likely invincible below the god level. Even an Ultimate Douluo would struggle to breach its defenses. As for god-level attacks, that would require actual testing.
Tang San's hidden weapons, capable of slaying gods, might not even pierce Susanoo's defenses. If that were the case, wouldn't it imply that ordinary gods couldn't break through Susanoo either?
Er Ming hesitated momentarily before shaking his head. "No, what if I hurt you? Xiao Wu would be furious!"
Er Ming still didn't fully believe that Susanoo's defenses were unbreakable, but he used Xiao Wu as an excuse to avoid attacking.
Understanding Er Ming's thoughts, Su Ming activated his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. Susanoo transformed into armor, which then enveloped the nearby Wood Dragon.
"Now you can try, right? This is called Armored Susanoo. My Susanoo can transform into armor, maintaining the same level of defense as before!"
Er Ming glanced at Da Ming and Xiao Wu. Da Ming gave a slight nod, while Xiao Wu's face was filled with curiosity. Could Susanoo's defense truly be as astonishing as Su Ming claimed?
If it were true, Su Ming could walk around unchallenged—even Tang Hao wouldn't pose a threat!
Still, Xiao Wu recalled something from Su Ming's diary: with Kamui alone, he could stand against Tang Hao. How had he managed that?
With no objections from the others, Er Ming unleashed his full power, firing a Titan Sky Cannon directly at the armored Wood Dragon.
Boom!
Smoke and dust filled the air. Da Ming blew the smoke away, revealing the pristine blue Wood Dragon, completely unscathed.
Now they understood—Su Ming hadn't exaggerated!
Though Er Ming's attack failed to breach Susanoo's defenses, it did drain Su Ming's mental energy significantly.
Both Susanoo's offense and defense relied on Su Ming's mental energy, and that attack had consumed a substantial portion.
Su Ming realized that he needed to continue increasing his mental energy reserves. In comparison, Kamui was more practical—it consumed less energy and provided self-protection through intangibility, far surpassing Susanoo's direct approach.
