Douluo Beast Spirit Walker
Chapter 3 The First Soul Ring
A year later, phew, I finally broke through to level ten, I finally broke through.
After breaking through the tenth level of soul power, you can get a soul ring. As long as you get a soul ring, you can become a soul master. Mu Yuanshan was extremely excited, and his mood was even more exciting. It was hard to express his feelings for a person in two lifetimes.
When the spirit turtle spirit reaches level ten, stabilize your mood and continue practicing to consolidate your realm. Stop meditating and feel the surging spirit power throughout your body. You will feel a sense of satisfaction and security in your heart.
With the strength in hand, I am as heroic as I am in the world, but in reality, I am not just a struggling salted fish. It has been a year since I came to Yanjia Fort. There is no Wuhun Hall in the fort because this is a private Yanjia sect. 90.00% of the territory is composed of people of the same clan, a few have immigrated from abroad, and some businessmen.
The good news is that the Wuhun Palace is still there, so I still pay special attention to things outside. Maybe it is reasonable that there is no Wuhun Palace because it is remote and the sect's garrison.
Breaking through the tenth level of soul power this time is to obtain the first soul ring, so that you can continue to practice.Otherwise, you have to wait until the martial soul awakens, and then use the tenth level soul power of the turtle martial soul, which is the innate full soul power, to gain attention. If you get the resources to cultivate it, your own development will be much easier.
The disadvantage is that if you are too flamboyant like this, you will easily attract jealousy and hatred. If you are not well protected and are called out by hostile family forces, it will be difficult to handle.
It will definitely not work to cultivate other martial arts. It is no longer possible to practice other martial arts at a speed of [-] times. It is too slow to only practice at [-] times. It is definitely not possible to waste three years. After more than a year of training, I only reached level [-]. , my qualifications will definitely not be much better, and the upgrade will definitely be slower after that. As long as you seize these three years, you must not waste it.
After some ideological struggle, I still chose to secretly obtain the soul ring. Even if it is only a ten-year soul ring, I can continue to upgrade. Now everything is mainly about upgrading, and the strength of the soul skill cannot be considered at all. In the end, It's better not to consider the configuration of the good spirit rings. It's still unknown whether there will be enough time to catch up with Tang San and the other seven.
After thinking about this and making up my mind, I decided to go to the nearest primeval forest to obtain the spirit ring. The spirit beast in my past life memory did not seem to be very strong.
We have learned a lot about the Nian Zong. There are still many ten-year soul beasts in the periphery of this forest. Only the ten-thousand-year soul beasts exist near the highest center and the middle area. The thousand-year soul beasts are in the middle area and rarely come out of the outer area. If you go here to hunt ten-year soul beasts, the safety factor will be very high and your life will not be in danger.
It is also easy to succeed. After thinking about it, he quietly went to the cafeteria and took advantage of the chefs not paying attention to take away a sharp-looking iron knife and an ax for batching firewood. There was no space for the equipment and he could only hide it near the school wall. In the grass, the wall was an iron fence, and the wrapped knife and ax were buried under the leaves, hiding them to make sure no one could see them.
After everything was ready, I told my sister, otherwise she would be anxious and cause trouble. I found an excuse to go home and have a look. At first, my sister also wanted to go back. This was definitely not possible, and then she directly denied it forcefully. I had no coins on my body, so I had to walk for dozens of miles.Exhausted.
I asked the class teacher for leave and looked at me suspiciously. Finally, after my persuasion, I gave him the leave. She was a kind-hearted teacher who was honest and kind-hearted. She was a kind middle-aged woman without any airs. I wonder if the soul master had not seen it before. Release the martial spirit.
Just like that, he changed out of his school uniform and put on ordinary coarse cloth clothes, picked up the hidden weapons, and embarked on the great road to obtain the first ring.
After leaving the town, I took a winding road and headed west for more than 30 miles, heading straight for the primeval forest. It was noon at three o'clock, and I had just entered the outer edge area. I put down my backpack and checked my equipment: axe, butcher knife, green onions. Ginger, garlic, vinegar, salt and some spice bottles are put together in sealed bottles, blankets, and oil-paper umbrellas. It’s summer, so you don’t have to worry about catching a cold. Some spices can repel mosquitoes.The others were all from school, and they were blushing and had no money, and the space bag was even more unimaginable.
To be honest, I haven’t seen that guy Yan Qing since he brought us here, and it is indeed very interesting. Let’s not talk about whether we can become soul masters. There are a total of seven children in our village. Can we become soul masters? The soul master even said that if you don't spend a penny here, you can eat and drink for free for several years.
Just like gambling, the odds are still very small.No one will pay attention to you before you awaken your martial soul. Only if you are a soul master can you shine like gold.
After trimming the butcher's knife and putting it on his waist and carrying his ax on his back, he cautiously walked toward the outskirts of the primeval forest. He didn't encounter a soul beast until the evening, and most of the ones he encountered were ordinary beasts.We are about to enter the outskirts of the primeval forest. The trees here are extremely tall and strong, reaching hundreds of meters into the sky, and their diameters are even more terrifying, as much as five or six meters.
Look at the sky and the sun is about to set. It seems that we will spend the night here today. The forest at night is more dangerous. If you can't light a fire, the bright light will attract a large number of spirit beasts. You can only hide in the lower part of the giant tree. The top of the tree is easy. There is a possibility of being attacked by flying soul beasts. Although the Wannian Ship is on the periphery, be careful not to be careless and only have one life.
I chewed some dry food and drank some water. I didn't dare to sleep here and could only use meditation instead of sleeping, so as to be able to deal with unexpected dangers at any time.After a night of near misses, he managed to avoid two groups of soul beasts wandering around looking for food. He finally made it to daybreak, washed briefly and ate some dry food from the canteen.
I moved my body and began to search for the path to the soul ring. I thought that turtle martial souls were suitable for defensive soul beasts. Water-type soul beasts had relatively weak attack power. It seemed that the best choice was to focus on defensive soul beasts. If they could hunt for hundreds of years, A soul ring would be fine.
It is indeed a pity that the first ring is not a hundred years old.The few soul beasts that passed by last night had only been able to feel the surging soul power so strongly for ten years, and they were definitely not something that I could contend with.He was like a small boat swaying in the strong wind and waves, and he was so scared that he was almost exposed.
Now we are off to a bad start and almost lose our confidence.Run away first and then come back when you are stronger. Who said that Soul Beast Cai can't believe that the content of the original work is all lies. He is a son of the plane and can't compare.
Hurry up, it doesn't matter if it takes ten years to get the first ring, the sooner the better, you can only practice the Spirit Turtle Martial Spirit first, and after reaching the full level, who else will you be afraid of if you get the ten thousand year ring, haha.
After letting go of the burden in my heart, my mind became more active. I have been through many hardships in my two lives. I was not born with a golden key. I can only rely on myself for everything. I went to the society and polished off the edges and corners of the past. I no longer have that aura. With so much arrogance, all that is left is the wonderful life of enjoying three meals a day. Now, if there is an opportunity to make a comeback, you must not miss it.
I found the right direction and wandered aimlessly. I found several suitable ten-year-old soul beasts. The iron-clad bull, which had only been able to sense soul power fluctuations for about ten years, and the pangolin, which was more than ten years old, were both suitable. It shouldn't be a big problem to get it.
But I resisted and did not take action. I was still engaged in a difficult ideological struggle and did not want to have ten years of garbage white rings.
Continuing to walk inside, I found that there were a lot less spirit beasts nearby. There were only a few wild beasts. Even the names of insects stopped. If something went wrong, there must be a monster. Mu Yuanshan considered whether to Run away, there will definitely be danger if you go further.
As the saying goes, wealth can be found in danger, and this is what it is about. I lowered my footsteps, held an ax in my hand, and held a butcher knife in my left hand. While I was drinking tea, I heard the sound of fighting not far in front of me. They gathered a hundred meters away and hid in the house. The treetops saw the person coming clearly, and they were two powerful soul kings with five best soul rings flashing outside, yellow, yellow, purple, and black.
The costume is that of Wuhun Yanzi from Yanjiabao, and there is a very familiar little girl standing next to her. Isn't she the one who turned six this year to awaken the Wuhun? She seems to be in Class [-], Class [-]. Rarely communicate with others.
The details are not very clear. They don't know each other, and they don't have much interaction.
It depends on the situation. If you awaken your martial soul this year, you will hunt soul beasts. Could it be that you have full innate soul power? Only those with full innate soul power can you acquire soul rings after awakening.
The soul beast I saw should be the thousand-year-level gale wolf. I still have some understanding of ordinary soul beasts with such a large number. Gale wolves are social soul beasts and rarely move alone. Only those who fail to compete for the alpha wolf will leave. Wolves, then this one should be a possibility.
The battle soon came to an end, and with a final neigh, the Gale Wolf fell in a pool of blood. The soul beast's vitality was very tenacious. Even if it was fatally injured, it did not die immediately and kept panting.
The two middle-aged soul kings straightened their clothes and said to the little girl that this is a thousand-year soul beast. The soul ring is not suitable for you. The best soul beasts are bird soul beasts and century-old soul beasts. Let’s leave here. The smell of blood It will attract other spirit beasts.
With that said, they left towards the interior of the forest. After a while, when they were far away, Mu Yuanshan came quietly. The wind wolf was still panting and closer to death.
There seemed to be a voice in Mu Yuanshan's soul that kept calling, kill it, kill it...
Subconsciously, he stepped forward and stabbed the back of his neck with a knife, severing the cervical vertebrae.
A deep purple soul ring floated up. Looking at how beautiful this deep purple soul ring was, he wished he could absorb this thousand-year soul ring now. Mu Yuanshan felt that something was wrong with his current situation, but he could no longer control himself. This thousand-year soul ring must be absorbed.
His eyes were blood red, and the energy in them was impossible for a three-year-old body to bear. Standing next to the old bull-sized Gale Wolf, he looked at the purple soul ring. The soul ring would remain for an hour without much time to think.
Absorb, no, cannot absorb.I'll explode.
The last reason disappeared. The temptation took the initiative in the soul. How come it always belongs to the mother-in-law? If you miss this simple opportunity, there will be no next time. There will be no next time...
According to the maximum age of a martial spirit, the first ring cannot exceed 370 years. This is beyond a thousand years and it will definitely be unbearable. If it does not absorb other best hundred-year-old spirit beasts, it will definitely be impossible to beat.
I simply went all out and absorbed it first.
Mu Yuanshan's red eyes showed that reason still failed to overcome the final temptation.
Soul rings in Douluo Continent gain experience, and only those who give the soul beast the last blow can absorb the soul rings. It's not that other people can't absorb the soul rings, but it should be possible to absorb them, but the success rate is low.
I don't know if I got something for nothing, whether it was a blessing or a curse. I sat down and released the turtle spirit to pull the soul ring, and then I guarded the spirit.
As soon as he came into contact with the purple soul ring, Mu Yuanshan shivered from the impact of the majestic energy. His whole body turned red and his face was ferocious. His skin was cracked and blood was flowing out. His body was still slowly expanding. Damn it, I'm only three years old. Why? It’s hard to think about it, why is it useful if I still have a lot of time?
I can't just persevere, I must keep my mind steady and endure the pain of my skin and muscles being torn apart inch by inch, soothing the chaotic soul power in my body and slowly moving towards the turtle spirit.
The violent soul power rushed around and destroyed his body. The intense pain brought him back to reality and regained control of his body, but it was too late.
Since I chose to finish the walk even on my knees, I used the Qigong and Mental Techniques to possess the turtle spirit, and the violent spirit power became more and more stable.
The violent soul power seemed to trigger the characteristics of the martial soul, and was converted into light green soul power to repair the stretched body. After repairing it, it was torn apart again, over and over again.
I saw that the color of the soul ring became lighter, from dark purple to a little purple, then gradually to dark yellow, and then from dark yellow to bright yellow. It was already the next morning and the sun had not yet come out, and the blood all over my body had solidified. Become black.
My breath became more and more stable. After another hour, the bright yellow soul ring was absorbed into my body. I stopped meditating. I already laughed with joy on my face. I won.
Haha, I have never cried before. I shed tears. Although it was painful, I was happy...
If I had a second chance I would never come again...
After breaking through the tenth level of soul power, you can get a soul ring. As long as you get a soul ring, you can become a soul master. Mu Yuanshan was extremely excited, and his mood was even more exciting. It was hard to express his feelings for a person in two lifetimes.
