Douluo: Soul Devouring Spider King

Chapter 76 Can’t…absorb the soul ring!

The word "master" that Xiaodong suddenly mentioned made everyone slightly stunned, but everyone had only heard of the master's reputation and could not say that they knew him well, let alone find the loopholes in the previous two sentences.

“I spent some time at Notting College, and that’s where I met the Master.”

Notting College... Xiaogang~ So you've been hiding there for the past few years? Liu Erlong looked a little dazed, and for a moment he forgot the purpose of looking for Xiaodong.

Xiao Dong blinked and took the initiative to speak: "Sister Erlong, are you here to ask about Lian Danran?"

The soft and cute voice interrupted Liu Erlong's memories, and then he remembered the important matter.

However, first he brought up the master to get close to her, then used the name "sister" to win her favor, and Xiaodong's cute appearance and the pure temperament she exuded inadvertently, the anger that Liu Erlong had been holding in her heart dissipated unknowingly, and she even didn't know when she put away the spirit ring that she had displayed.

"Yes, I'm talking about Lian Danran." Liu Erlong's tone of voice unconsciously became extremely gentle, as if she was afraid that a slight increase in tone would hurt the lovely girl in front of her.

But suddenly she thought of Lian Danran's situation and couldn't help but frowning: "Why did you treat him like that?"

These vague words make people imagine.

What happened?

Xiaodong was also quite surprised. Didn't he just add a [Pardon Order·Soul Imprisonment] BUFF to him, which prevented him from recovering his soul power for a few days? And he had also said at the time that the soul skill would only last for a few days. As long as he didn't fight and didn't use his soul power, wouldn't it be over if he just endured it?

Liu Erlong wouldn't come here in person for such a trivial matter, right?

"What happened to that arrogant guy?" Avalanche, who had come over at some point, couldn't help but ask, but there seemed to be a hint of gloating in his tone.

Liu Erlong glared at him, then looked at Xiaodong: "Huh~ Don't you know your soul skills?"

If it was the hot-tempered Liu Erlong before, she would have said this somewhat sarcastic rebuke without hesitation, but she had an invisible liking for Xiaodong, so she said softly: "He has been in a coma for two days."

After a pause, seeing that Xiaodong still looked silly and naive, he simply said, "Two days ago, he failed in absorbing the spirit ring, causing his mental consciousness to be severely damaged."

Failed to absorb the spirit ring? What does this have to do with me... Wait!

Xiaodong's small body trembled slightly. Could it be because of the [Pardon Order·Soul Imprisonment]?

She couldn't help but read the description of the effect of this soul skill again in her mind, focusing on the words "unable to recover soul power", and suddenly!

An incredible idea came to mind!

[Pardon Order: Soul Imprisonment] not only prevents soul masters with lower spiritual power than itself from recovering their soul power within a fixed period of time, but also makes them unable to absorb soul rings?

why?

"Wait a minute, does absorbing a spirit ring also restore spirit power?"

Or it would be more appropriate to say that it increases soul power!

However, in most cases, "recovery" and "increase" can actually be understood as the same concept, which is the increase of the "mana" value, but the latter is more often understood as increasing the maximum value, but...

Liu Erlong sighed and explained the situation in detail.

It turned out that after that day, he was so shocked that he didn't take the strange [Pardon Order: Soul Imprisonment] to heart. He still went to the Star Dou Great Forest with his team leader and several companions at night to hunt soul beasts and absorb soul rings.

But as mentioned in "A Concept", he finally found a soul beast that was very suitable for his martial soul, and it was a thousand-year-old beast! After happily killing it, he could not recover his soul power, increase his soul power, or... absorb soul rings because of his skills!

So, very rarely, Lian Danran failed to absorb the soul ring!

Even though it was a thousand years old, the age of that soul beast was still far from the maximum age. Moreover, all the other soul masters who accompanied him succeeded, but their ages were not as good as his. Moreover, Lian Danran was a famous genius in Blue Overlord Academy!

In fact, failure is nothing. Although the probability is not high, there will always be a few soul masters who will be unlucky. Just wait and kill one and continue to absorb. Lian Danran did plan to do so, but he failed again when he killed the second one and tried to refine it, and his mental consciousness was also damaged to a certain extent.

Logically speaking, something must have gone wrong and he should not continue. The teacher in charge also advised him to take it slow and come back next time after forming a new team. However, he seemed a little anxious and even said some strange words like if he failed to become a Soul Master this time, the heroine would be slept with by someone else first.

When people are anxious, they will make mistakes. When Lian Danran was refining the third soul beast, an accident finally happened. He did not notice that his soul power was drying up. He was also in a depressed state. Not only did he fail again, his mental consciousness was also severely damaged by the soul consciousness of the soul beast!

After a scream, the man fainted on the spot!

Even thinking in the direction of the dark style, even Danran's consciousness may have been attacked by the soul of the soul beast...

Ah this~! Xiaodong couldn't help but say "Wow" in his heart!

But when she reacted, she immediately looked at the passive skill [Heart of the Holy Mother Spider Emperor] that she relied on for survival: "The effect is still there!"

This means that the man with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes should not be dead, or the system did not determine that his death was caused by himself.

Xiaodong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at the second soul skill that he had not paid much attention to: [Pardon Order·Soul Imprisonment]

Is this skill so arrogant?

Xiaodong swore that she really didn't know that this soul skill would cause this situation!

Although there are only two skills at present, they look and sound strange, and in most cases they are useless or we don't know how to use them properly.

In addition, when Xiaodong was at Notting College, she played a quiet little loli character, not like Xiaowu who was competitive and looking for fights everywhere.

And Xiaodong didn't take it seriously either. Except for using [Pardon Order: Soul Imprisonment] once against Tang San that day, he hadn't used it again for the entire Kun Year. After all, from the perspective of secretly stabbing people, it is obvious that [Eternal Hemorrhoids] is more punitive.

Xiaodong almost forgot that he had such a soul skill. Unexpectedly...

Liu Erlong finished explaining the whole story and frowned slightly, saying, "Later, I learned about what happened to Lian Danran in the past few days. The students all mentioned that you used a soul skill on him that seemed to have the effect of preventing him from recovering his soul power. In fact, Lian Danran also verified that he could not recover his soul power later."

But he didn't care! No one who knew cared!

So this tragedy happened.

This was also the reason why Liu Erlong rushed over to find Xiaodong. If it was just a minor fight, Liu Erlong would not care at all. Even if she was bullied, she would only scold her own students for not being able to beat those useless nobles who were just eating and waiting to die, and she would not stand up for them.

After the story was told, Liu Erlong looked at Xiaodong, wanting a reasonable explanation.

In fact, it sounds like this matter has nothing to do with Xiaodong. It was Lian Danran himself who was eager for quick success. Sarath snorted disdainfully: "Dean Liu, what does the student's situation have to do with our princess? It's all his own fault..."

"I did it on purpose."

Liu Erlong's favorability: 61 (has a good desire to protect you)

Xiaodong took a look at the favorability and suddenly spoke, and directly put the blame on himself!
