Chapter 3 The First Soul Skill
Li Mansion.
After falling asleep in the avatar of the Jade Scale Snake King.
Li Changan opened his eyes here and couldn't help but rub his eyebrows. This kind of distraction and controlling the state of two bodies at the same time was really exhausting.
I don’t know if he will improve when his level reaches a higher level in the future.
Thinking about it, he continued to summon his sword spirit, and gently stroked his sword like a beautiful woman's skin, as if it were fragile porcelain. It seemed like he was afraid of accidentally crushing it.
After all, he will be prosperous and wealthy in this world from now on, and he will dominate the world. But it all depends on the sword in his hand.
“Let’s call this sword ‘Jade Scale Sword’!”
He decided on a name for his martial spirit. Then he began to carefully explore what abilities his martial soul had?
After some research, Li Changan discovered that this martial spirit is mainly sword-based under normal conditions, but if necessary, it can also transform from a sword into a snake form, but it cannot possess and change its body like a beast martial spirit. , can only control its actions like a clone. It's no different from controlling a spirit beast.
But that's fine, and being possessed isn't necessarily a good thing. After all, isn't it because Dugu Bo is possessed by the martial spirit, and his body has been corroded by the toxins of the martial spirit all the year round? It's good that he can't be possessed like this. Avoid the trouble of toxin invasion.
At most, it's just the loss of some of the physical gain gained after being possessed by a martial spirit. But these are nothing compared to the threat of poisoning after possession.
the next day.
The people sent by the emperor came to Li Mansion.
This is a handsome-looking middle-aged man, who is also a Soul Saint-level soul master. The purpose of this trip was to take him to the Soul Beast Forest to hunt soul beasts and obtain his first soul ring.
Although Emperor Tiandou wanted to win over him because of his innate talent of soul power. However, there is still a certain degree of uncertainty in matters such as martial soul mutation. After all, a martial spirit like the "Jade Scale Sword" has never appeared before, and no one knows whether it is strong or weak. If there are any flaws, it won’t be beautiful.
So in order to avoid giving him a big reward, it turns out that this guy is just a faggot with no potential at all. Emperor Tiandou first sent someone to take him to hunt for soul rings, and judge his future based on the soul skills of the first soul ring he obtained. Is it worth wooing? How hard should the wooing be?
All this depends on his performance after obtaining the soul ring.
If the soul ring obtained by Li Changan has very good soul skills and has high potential. Then the reward will naturally be huge. But if his potential is not high and he is not worthy of his innate soul power, then the reward for him may be casual.
Soul Hunting Forest.
It was a place artificially set up by the Tiandou Empire to keep soul beasts captive. The danger is much less than that of the wild soul beast forest. But in contrast, the species of soul beasts inside are not that rich. The age limit won’t be too high either.
However, Li Changan only obtained the first soul ring, so it was enough to come to the Soul Hunting Forest. There is no need to go all the way to the Soul Beast Forest to hunt the Soul Beasts. That place is a high-risk area, and even a team led by a powerful Soul Saint may encounter life-threatening danger.
The middle-aged Soul Saint brought Li Changan here. The guard guarding the gate of the Soul Hunting Forest obviously knew him and took the initiative to open the door without even showing a token.
That's the beauty of privilege.
"According to the characteristics of the martial spirit you mentioned, your sword martial spirit is born with poisonous properties, and the weapon martial spirit itself has the sharp property, then the soul beast suitable for hunting is poisonous, and has sharp armor-piercing properties. A soul beast with similar characteristics..." The middle-aged Soul Saint led Li Changan to walk slowly in the soul hunting forest, and said calmly: "Whether you prefer poison or sword, you can choose for yourself."
"..."
Li Changan was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "Then can we have both? Looking for a soul beast that is both poisonous and sharp?"
The middle-aged Soul Saint was stunned when he heard what he said. He thought for a while and said: "Generally speaking, if the effect is too dispersed, the power of the soul skill will be reduced. However, if you insist on requesting it, with the special nature of your martial soul, It’s not impossible to give it a try. Maybe you can do both.”
Of course, the reason why he agreed so easily was because he felt that the first soul ring, as a transitional soul ring in the early stage, would basically not have much effect in the later stage. After all, how strong can a century-old soul ring be, no matter how strong it is? So as long as the age is guaranteed and the characteristics of the spirit ring don't deviate too far from the martial spirit itself, that's fine in his opinion.
The middle-aged Soul Saint was obviously very familiar with this soul-hunting forest. Following Li Changan's request, he quickly led him to a dense bamboo forest.
The bamboos in this bamboo forest are different from ordinary bamboos. The whole body is a white jade-like color, and the leaves are shaped like sword blades. The light blue is densely covered with black lines, and they sway with the wind. A fresh fragrance hits your face~
Anyone who looks at it will think that the bamboos in this bamboo forest are rare and precious bamboos.
But in fact, this is a plant soul beast called "Poison Sword Bamboo".
Those blade-like bamboo leaves are extremely sharp and contain poison. The attack method is generally to wave the branches and use those sharp dagger-like blades to cut the opponent. If necessary, the blades can also be used as flying knives to be launched.
There are at least dozens of poisonous sword bamboos in this bamboo forest. The oldest one is a thousand-year-old poisonous sword bamboo, and the youngest one is about ten years old. Among them happened to be the century-old poisonous sword bamboo that Li Changan needed. "roar!"
After the middle-aged Soul Saint arrived here, with a roar, he was possessed by the martial soul. His whole body instantly lifted up, and muscles and dense bear hair appeared on his body, as if he had turned into a big brown bear in human form.
A total of seven soul rings circled around his body. The second and third soul rings lit up, and a golden light appeared on the big brown bear to protect him. At the same time, the claws also extended several feet of golden light, making the claws longer.
He roared like this and rushed into the bamboo forest.
A barbarian bear swung and slashed.
Naturally, the Poison Sword Bamboo was not to be outdone when it was attacked, and they swung their branches to hit him. However, they were blocked by the layer of golden light on the opponent's body, and the leaves could not cut through the defense at all. Those farther away fired out blades like flying knives, which were also blocked when they struck the golden light.
Li Changan stayed far away, watching the big brown bear incarnate as a middle-aged soul saint destroy it, then dug out a poisonous sword bamboo and ran out.
Plant spirit beasts are not good at this. Generally speaking, they cannot move. You can only stay where you are and let others slaughter you. Of course, some older soul beasts can move freely. However, these poisonous sword bamboos that are no more than a thousand years old obviously do not have the ability to move.
After he rushed out of the attack range, he could no longer be hit with branches. It can only launch blade flying knives in place, and the result is naturally useless. As in incompetent rage.
"Bang!"
The big brown bear casually threw the dug bamboo to the ground and left the land. This poisonous sword bamboo was like a fish leaving the water and immediately lost its vitality. The whole thing shrank.
"Go ahead, aim at the core roots at its base, cut off the connections, and kill it." The big brown bear returned to the appearance of a middle-aged man, and said with a long sigh of relief.
At this time, most of the bamboo body of the Poison Sword Bamboo, which was about four hundred years old and no more than five hundred years old, had been broken off, and its vitality was severely damaged. In addition, it was dug out of the soil and many roots were torn off. Basically half dead.
Li Changan did not hesitate, raised his hand and summoned his green scale sword, aimed the jade-like sword tip at the core part he mentioned, and stabbed it hard.
"laugh!"
It pierced the surface of the skin easily, but before it could penetrate deeper, a green color emerged from the wound, and then spread rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, the entire root of the Poison Sword Bamboo was eroded by the poison and completely necrotic.
When the middle-aged Soul Saint saw this scene, his pupils shrank. He was surprised in his heart: "It's so poisonous! It has such great lethality to plants. It seems that this kid's martial spirit is indeed not simple!"
After the Poison Sword Bamboo's roots were completely necrotic, a yellow soul ring slowly rose from the corpse and floated in the sky. Waiting for him to absorb it.
Li Changan was not in a hurry to absorb it, but turned to look at the middle-aged Soul Saint. Before he could speak, he received another assurance from the other party: "Judging from the color of the soul ring, this Poison Sword Bamboo is about four hundred years old." It will definitely not exceed five hundred years. With your innate soul power, it may be a little difficult to absorb it, but it will never be life-threatening!"
The reason why he couldn't determine the specific age of this soul ring was mainly because it didn't make a beep. Who knows how many years it was?
He is pretty good at being able to tell roughly how old a person is by its color. It would be really difficult for him to tell him exactly how many years it was.
Normally, as long as the first soul ring is no more than five hundred years old, there is not much risk in absorbing it. And people like Yu Xiaogang clearly stated that the absorption limit of the first soul ring is 423 years. In fact, anyone with some common sense knows that this is nonsense.
First of all, how do you know that the soul ring you absorbed is from 423 years, not 424 or 425 years? Will it also display a prompt sound to tell you like in the game?
In such a situation, Yu Xiaogang's soul ring absorption years that are accurate to single digits seems very unreasonable.
Let's not mention how this data was obtained. The question is how do you judge the exact age of the soul ring in front of you?
Do you, Yu Xiaogang, have a soul ring age scanning system that can scan the age of the soul ring in front of you with just a scan?
No nonsense!
……
After Li Changan received an accurate answer from the middle-aged Soul Saint, he was completely relieved and prepared to absorb the soul ring. After all, he only has one life, so he naturally needs to be cautious. The risk of rashly absorbing an ultra-high-life soul ring is very high. Li Changan didn't have a plug-in, so he didn't dare to do things like absorbing the first soul ring for a thousand years.
What's more, for things like the soul ring age, if necessary in the later stage, you can take the divine examination to improve it. There is no need to risk one's life to absorb an ultra-high-life soul ring.
Li Changan sat down cross-legged, and then with a flick of his soul power, the soul ring flew lightly to the top of his head and slowly integrated into his body...
