Douluo: Soul Devouring Spider King

Chapter 20 Another God-Given Soul Ring

That’s right, favorability is not only for humans, but also for soul beasts!

After half a year of research and testing, Xiaodong found that the favorability towards soul beasts is slightly different from that towards people. On a scale of 0 to 30, people are "strangers ~ acquaintances", while soul beasts are "strangers ~ peaceful".

Peace and tranquility means that as long as Xiaodong does not actively invade the opponent's territory or make certain actions that make the soul beast alert, the soul beast will not actively attack her.

31~60 is the friend zone, and for soul beasts it is the friendly zone, allowing Xiaodong to enter the opponent's territory without being attacked.

And 60 means trust, which means that the soul beast will recognize you as a fellow soul or partner, and you can live in harmony with even the most cruel and bloodthirsty soul beasts.

There seems to be no negative number for the soul beast's favorability, but when it is lower than 10, the soul beast treats Xiaodong just like it treats other soul masters, either attacking or running away.

As for how to improve favorability, there is no need to say much about humans. Favorability towards soul beasts can be improved through soul comfort!

Yes, Xiaodong discovered this when he was comforting a soul beast (baboon) for the first time. Every time he comforts a soul beast, he can get +1 favorability for that soul beast type.

For example, if Xiaodong comforts a powerful golden ape, then all the "ape" soul beasts such as the furious ape, the Titan ape, etc. will increase Xiaodong's favorability by 1 point, but this method has an upper limit, and can only reach 1 at most.

However, there are exceptions. Each time a spider soul beast is resurrected, it will gain +2, and this method has no upper limit (maximum value is 100).

I don’t know if it’s because Xiaodong is the Soul-Eating Spider King or because of the sand sculpture system.

In short, [Soul Resting], which can gain the favor of soul beasts, soul power cultivation, and soul power pool experience, is Xiaodong's most important ability at present, but it is limited by her current environment, and she must personally "transmigrate" the soul beast corpse, but it is still acceptable.

So back to the active skill [Soul Control] of the anklet. Compared with the very comfortable [Soul Soothing], this thing actually lost half of its favorability?

"So, after controlling a soul beast with a favorability of 1, trust immediately turned into peace?"

Living in peace... doesn't mean you won't be attacked!

And if the one you control has not reached level 60...your good friend will instantly become a traitor!

Xiaodong narrowed his eyes slightly: "Not only will it consume a lot of mental energy, but it will also put you in danger of being betrayed. This skill must be used with caution~"

At this moment, another reminder sound came from my mind:

[Ding~ The host's soul power level has reached level 20. A 10-year God-given soul ring is awarded, with the skill: Pardon Order·Soul Imprisonment]

[Host please accept]

Sure enough, it's still 10 years! Xiaodong sighed, accepted it calmly, and then the information description of the soul skill emerged in his mind.

[Pardon·Soul Imprisonment: Consume a certain amount of soul power to designate a target. If the target's mental power is not higher than yours, the target cannot recover its soul power in any way. Duration: 1 day]

[Note: This soul skill can be repeatedly released on the same target, and the duration will be accumulated in sequence.]

"This second soul skill..." Xiaodong stared at this [Pardon Order·Soul Imprisonment] for a long time, and then came to a conclusion:

Still no use!

Although Xiaodong's current mental power is greater than that of an ordinary Titled Douluo and can ensure that the 'target' will be hit, it is completely useless in a life-and-death duel between soul masters, let alone in ordinary competitions.

Therefore, like [Eternal Hemorrhoids], it is unlikely to be used in combat.

but……

"The soul power cannot be restored for at least one day? And it is 'unable to recover in any form'? Does that mean that even an auxiliary soul master at the Titled Douluo level cannot restore the soul power for the 'target'? In this case..." Xiaodong pondered the purpose of this soul skill.

At this moment, Xiaodong heard the evil voice of the system in his mind:

[Ding~ The host's name of the Holy Mother resounds in the human world for the first time. Please keep up the good work and make your name resound throughout the city of Nottingham! ]

【Time: 3 years】

[Successful Reward: Soul Power Level Increased by 1 Level, 10 Soul Bone Transformed from a 1-Year-Old Soul Devouring Spider Emperor]

[Failure penalty: You will definitely encounter a closed room Douluo event once a week for 3 years (Note: when the host encounters a closed room Douluo event, there is a chance that he will be killed*)]

What is the probability? Why is there a '*' sign?

Stupid system, what are you afraid of?

Blanch~!

Xiaodong, who had just digested a bunch of new skills and had not had time to get excited, had a dark complexion. Although she had roughly guessed it before, she felt depressed when she saw that Xiaoheizi's system had indeed released a fame-making task in the future.

There is no need to think about it. The next task is to become famous and eventually make your name known throughout the entire Douluo Continent.

"This means that I will inevitably be exposed to Bibi Dong's eyes in the end!" Xiaodong muttered to himself.

This time will not be too long. If your luck or operation is not good, I am afraid that this mission will expose myself.

And let's not talk about the unpredictable consequences that this mission may cause. Nottingham City is not big, but it is not small either. If you want to become famous in this city... what should you use? Is the kind-hearted behavior and the reputation of genius really enough to make yourself famous?

"The academy mission alone took half a year. Although the system said it would be within three years, there are still two years left before Tang San and Xiao Wu graduate. Moreover, the longer I stay here, the more serious the soul-restoring will be."

If Anhun is dragged down, it means that the soul power pool is also dragged down, and the overall strength of the individual is even further dragged down.

Xiaodong rubbed his head.

……

At the entrance of Notting College, Tang San, Xiao Wu and three classmates who were slightly older than them were divided into two groups and stood still.

Xiao Wu glanced at the three students, two men and one woman. Judging from their temperament, they should be nobles. She whispered to Tang San: "Have they also reached level 3?"

Tang San nodded and smiled softly: "Well, they are the seniors who are about to graduate this year."

Senior, it seems like a respectful title, but it means that you are already 12 or 13 years old, maybe even 14 years old, and are about to graduate in 6 years, but at this moment you are obtaining the second soul ring with Tang San and Xiao Wu, who are only 10 years old?

In fact, these three people are already very promising soul master talents as they have reached level 3 at this age. They can definitely be admitted to more advanced soul master academies, but comparison is the thief of joy!

Xiao Wu failed to hear the possible contempt in Tang San's words, and the two men didn't hear it either. Only the woman frowned and looked at Tang San with surprise: "These two people are Tang San and Xiao Wu? Innate full soul power?"

"He looks only about 10 years old, but he's already level 20?" The female student was amazed. She was already a leader in the family when she reached level 16 at the age of 20, but compared with this legendary innate full soul power, it was still not enough.

"But what does he mean by that? Is he mocking us? Or am I overthinking it?" The female student's eyes flickered, and then she walked to the two male students and started talking.
