I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 74 New Skill: Hooking Souls Regardless of Level
Zhang Chen's eyes fell on the black skill on the ground, and a hint of caution appeared in his eyes.

He had never had such a feeling before. He had not yet gotten close to the skill and was still a long way from it, but who would have thought that he would actually sense an ominous aura.

You must know that it's not like I haven't picked up skills before, but no matter what kind of skill it was, it only showed different colors. Now, it's like the beads in front of my eyes, emitting an ominous aura, making people tremble with fear as if a disaster is about to happen at any time. This is the first time.

But this is a new skill, can he ignore it?

"I don't know if this skill will bring any negative effects, or negative buffs!" Zhang Chen looked at the beads on the ground, thinking for a moment as he stood there.

For example, in a novel he had read in his previous life, "The Immortal Thousand Years", he had a skill that allowed him to grab other people's objects at will and bring them into his control? Would that cause the cause and effect of time and space? (The link to "The Immortal Thousand Years" is below).

Or, as long as you activate the skill, you can increase your combat power by three levels, but the price is your life.

Zhang Chen looked at the black bead in front of him. He felt that this bead was probably the same. Perhaps it would have some negative buff that might have a bad impact on him.

"Let's see what skill it is first. We can't just discard it without even taking a look, right? What if it's some god-like skill that's worth paying a price for?"

Thinking of this, Zhang Chen continued to walk forward a few steps, and then took a step forward to the skill: "I want to see what skill it is that is so unique."

[Discover a new skill: Soul Mark. ]

【Would you like to pick it up? 】

"Soul mark? What is that? It looks like a skill targeting souls. How can it emit such an evil aura?" Zhang Chen looked at the soul mark with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He was a little puzzled.

"Is there something taboo about this soul mark? Or is there a price to pay?"

Zhang Chen stood there and looked at it carefully for a while, but he could not find any bad price for this skill. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "Pick it up!"

There is no reason for him not to pick it up. If the side effects of the skill are too great, he can just not use it in the future. There is no reason to give up.

You know, this is the first time he has seen a black skill!
【Pick up successfully】

[You have picked up a new skill - Soul Mark]

[Skill Overview: You can mark any soul. Once the mark is successful, you can sense the location of the soul mark regardless of the distance, time and space. At the same time, your coordinates will be exposed, and the other party will also be aware of your soul coordinates.]

[Note 1: Once the soul mark is successfully activated, it cannot be erased unless one party dies. (You can enter the hidden state. When the host locates the other party, the other party can naturally locate you. In the hidden state, as long as the host does not actively locate, both parties cannot detect each other)]

[Note 2: The Supreme Power cannot be offended. Please use this skill with caution. Once you offend the Supreme Power, you will die without a burial place.]

Then the next moment, the gold finger page in front of Zhang Chen suddenly refreshed:
【Name: Zhang Chen】

[Skill 1 (Level 0): Light of the Righteous God -> Automatic Cruise (200000/)]

[Skill 2 (Level 0): ​​Dragon Energy (200000/)]

[Skill 3 (Level 0): Transform into a Blood Bat (1000000/)]

[4th skill (second level): Water control (0/100000)]

[Points: eleven thousand six hundred and seventy-two]

"It takes 10,000 points to reach the highest level. What a joke!" Zhang Chen's eyes fell on the seventh skill. He was so shocked that his scalp went numb, and his eyes showed disbelief.

Are you kidding me? A low-level skill actually requires 10,000 skill points to upgrade?
This is a big joke!
Zhang Chen wanted to ask, why? Why does a low-level skill require 10,000 points?

"Could it be that your golden finger saw that I still have 10,000 skill points, and wanted to blackmail me on purpose and use up all my skill points?" Zhang Chen looked at his own golden finger page with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

The upgrade of our own God's Light from level 2 to level 3 only costs 5,000 points. Why would we get this soul mark?
But the more this happened, the more curious Zhang Chen became. Why do you think that is?

Because according to the rules of skills, the more points a skill requires, the more powerful it will be when upgraded.

Anyway, I still have 11,672 skill points, and there is no use keeping them. I might as well upgrade this skill and see what surprises this skill can bring.

This skill is obviously a means to target souls. If you can evolve this skill to target fox spirits, you will make a fortune.

What's the point of leaving points in vain? The right thing to do is to upgrade your skills. Leaving skill points in vain is useless, so it's better to upgrade them directly and add them to your skills, and maybe you can find a way out.

Zhang Chen's eyes fell on the seventh skill, and he said to himself: "Add some points!"

As Zhang Chen's thoughts came to mind, the next moment the seventh skill cheating board turned into snowflakes, and then countless snowflakes regrouped and began to refresh again:

【7技能（未入品）：灵魂标记（0/10000）】———>【七技能（一阶）：勾魂锁链（0/1000000）】

[Skill explanation: As long as the soul marked by your skill reaches its end of life, you can hook the soul of the other party regardless of the other party's cultivation level and the distance in time and space.]

[Note 1: It can hook the souls of all those whose life span has come to an end.] [Note 2: It can hook the souls of all those who have used secret techniques to forcibly stay in the world and avoid death, and forcibly avoid the number of days (those who have obtained spiritual medicine to prolong their life are not included)]

[Note 3: Please do not use this magical power lightly. You mark the opponent, and the opponent also marks you. If the opponent kills you before the birthday comes, how tragic! ]

[Note 4: You may not be able to kill the opponent by hooking his soul. Of course, the opponent is chained and cannot do anything to you. After three days, the skill becomes invalid and the opponent is sent back to his body by the law. You can use the soul-hooking skill once on the same soul within seven days.]

Zhang Chen looked at the skills on the cheating screen with a look of shock and horror in his eyes. "Isn't this skill too incredible? As long as the opponent's lifespan is up and his soul is marked by me, I can directly hook his soul over to me?"

Although hooking does not mean that you can kill the opponent, and once you mark the opponent, the opponent will notice it, but you can cooperate with others, right?
Especially for those old guys who have changed their fate, this skill is too unfriendly!
A strong man with a physical body and a strong man without a physical body are simply two different existences.

Moreover, it seems that his own skill, the Light of Righteous God, is also the nemesis of souls, right?

If you meet any old guy in the future, you can cooperate with him. If you can't kill him, you can hook his soul and carry out various humane destruction and torture. It's simply a divine skill!
Of course, the danger is great, but the rewards are equally great.

However, his skills are a bit limited, and he can only pick out old guys who are reaching the end of their lifespan. This is the only flaw.

"If I kill the fox spirit's physical body, does that mean the fox spirit's life span has come to an end?" Zhang Chen looked at the fox spirit's body in his hands, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"You can try it!" There was a cold light in Zhang Chen's eyes.

"Mark my soul." Zhang Chen activated his skill on the body of the vixen in his hand.

[A body without a soul, cannot be marked]

At this moment, one's own skills gave a hint.

"Can't the soul be marked without being in the body?"

Zhang Chen frowned, and realized the limitations of his seventh skill. The soul of the fox spirit had escaped and was no longer in the body. Although this was the body of the fox spirit, it could not be marked.

“When the fox spirit's soul arrives, I will mark it. Anyway, the fox spirit and I are about to fall out, so what should I be afraid of? If the fox spirit doesn't react after I mark it, I will just kill its body and then try to hook the fox spirit's soul. Then, I will use the golden light to make a jar, seal the fox spirit, and use the golden light to erase it bit by bit.” Zhang Chen made up his mind, and felt an indescribable joy in his heart.

He now has an idea in his mind about how to kill the fox spirit. When the fox spirit arrives, he will mark the fox spirit's soul and then devour the blood in the fox spirit's body. When the fox spirit's body dies, he wonders if this means the end of his life has come.

Now that the true dragon destiny is upon him, the vixen will not kill him easily, and there is nothing he can do even if she is angry.

Having acquired a new skill, he was about to experiment with it on the vixen to see how effective his skill was.

You know, the fox spirit is a sixth-level or even seventh-level strongman. Where can I find such a good experimental subject?
"If I were to capture the soul of the fox spirit, would I whip it day and night, or would I ask the fox spirit to warm my bed and steal things for me day and night? It would be best if the entire Pingbian Palace was emptied out and everyone in it was killed, so that I could vent my anger."

Zhang Chen's eyes revealed an evil smile, and then he put away the gold finger board and looked at the tomb in front of him: "I wonder if there is a mechanism to get out of this tomb. Moreover, this True Dragon Tomb is just a small part of the Imperial Daughter's Tomb. The Imperial Daughter's Tomb is the key to burying countless treasures. The True Dragon can drop such a heaven-defying skill, and so many experience points have fallen. I wonder what incredible means the Imperial Daughter must have and what skills she can explode."

"That's not right either!"

Suddenly Zhang Chen froze, and a key question popped up in his mind: "Even a real dragon sheds blood, and the dragon soul's resentment is undying, so what about the emperor's daughter?"

"The most important thing is that the Emperor's daughter's life span has long been over. I don't know how many years she has been dead. If she still has a residual soul, wouldn't she be naturally restrained by me?"

When Zhang Chen thought of this, his breathing suddenly quickened. He thought of a new use for the seventh skill.

Use it to deal with your enemies? That's really low. If you keep looking for the ancient tombs and use your skills to hook the remaining souls of those old guys, you will be their natural nemesis!
Think about it, a group of people who have long died, their life span has long come to an end, otherwise why would they bury themselves? If those old guys have left behind some means to prolong their lives, wouldn't it be a sure thing for me to hook them all?

Not to mention those old guys, even in the battle between the fox spirit and the real dragon's obsession just now, if I had acquired the skill of soul-snatching at that time, I am afraid that the real dragon's resentment would be pulled out of the real dragon's skeleton in one encounter.

Without the support of the real dragon skeleton, what right would the real dragon's remaining soul have to fight against me?

"It turns out that the essence of my seventh skill is not to kill enemies or deal with living people, but to deal with those old guys. Especially the older the old guy is, the more I am his natural nemesis! I guarantee that every hook will be accurate! To others, the terrifying and world-destroying old guy is just a little brother in my hands!" When Zhang Chen thought of this, his breathing became more rapid and his eyes turned green.

"From today on, I, Zhang Chen, should change my name. I, Zhang Chen, will be known as the eternal enemy! I will be known as the enemy of old antiques!" Zhang Chen held the vixen's body, his eyes full of joy.

This is the way to unlock your own skills!
"I just wonder if there are any antiques in this world who have lived for so many years." Zhang Chen muttered to himself.

Zhang Chen put the long sword back into the scabbard, straddled his waist, and then swept his eyes across the field, grinning: "Fox spirit, fox spirit, if you don't come, it's fine. If you come, I will give you a big surprise. I, Zhang Chen, will soon be invincible!"

After acquiring the skills, Zhang Chen tied up the fox spirit's body with several layers of ropes. Holding the night pearl in his hand, he carefully looked at the stone chamber in front of him again, hoping to find some surprises.

"This is the True Dragon Tomb. The man who built the tomb was extremely powerful, and the gate he built was also extremely heavy. There are no mechanisms in the tomb. I think that great master would never have thought that countless years later an earthquake would break the iron wall of the tomb, giving us the opportunity to enter the tomb."

"That god is so incredible in my eyes, but in front of the might of heaven and earth, he is just an ant!"

Zhang Chen pondered carefully the structure and layout of the tomb that he had dreamed of. A thoughtful look appeared in his eyes, which were filled with golden light. He carefully observed every corner of the tomb to make sure there were no missed clues and to see if he could find any key points.
