Douluo: Shield Spirit, starts with beating up the Clear Sky Hammer

Chapter 3 The First Soul Skill
"You are worthy of being my son." Su Qing squatted down, put his hand on Su Bai's shoulder, and smiled kindly.

This is how my life will be. Even if my son was joking, at least I still have an ideal goal or something.

"But remember, I don't need you to avenge us. I just want you to live well."

"Okay." Su Bai nodded.

As for not seeking revenge, that is impossible, but I will first ensure my own safety.

"In addition, it's time to tell you the secret of our Su family's shield spirit." Su Qing continued.

"The secret of the shield spirit?"

"That's right. In fact, your grandfather's shield spirit was originally a very delicate shield, and his innate spirit power was only level four. In my case, the shield spirit only had a rough outline at first, but my innate spirit power was level six. And in your case, it even became a simple wooden board shape, but your innate spirit power has reached an astonishing level eight!"

"Could it be that our family's martial spirit has been mutating..." Su Bai thought for a moment and quickly came up with this idea.

To put it simply, martial soul mutation means mutation of shape and attributes.

Although the Su Bai family's shield martial soul is becoming simpler in shape, its innate soul power is constantly increasing. In other words, the qualifications of the martial soul are actually constantly improving.

"I now have a guess. Although the shape of our Su family's shield martial spirit is becoming simpler and simpler, its plasticity is also becoming stronger and stronger. After hunting soul beasts and obtaining soul rings, the attribute enhancements obtained are also constantly improving..."

"If this is true, then wouldn't my shield spirit be more suitable for the extreme route of increasing defense as I had envisioned before?" Su Bai pondered in his heart.

In the following six months, Su Bai has been practicing hard.

Su Bai's mutated shield spirit also gained the lightning attribute that had never appeared in the Su family's spirits!
"The power of thunder and lightning!"

Under the waterfall, Su Bai was shirtless, enduring the rush of the water. Thunder and lightning kept interweaving and flashing on his body, releasing dazzling light.

Water can conduct electricity. When Su Bai first released the power of lightning in the water, his body felt numb as if he had been hit by electricity.

However, as he continued to practice, the numbness became weaker and weaker, until finally, his body completely adapted to the lightning.

Even once Su Bai concentrates his consciousness, the pain caused by the lightning will completely disappear.

However, as long as his attention was distracted for a moment, the lightning would still cause slight pain to his body.

This kind of pain is not without benefits to Su Bai's body. In the past three months, Su Bai could clearly feel that under the influence of this pain, his physical strength had a qualitative leap.

I was originally thin, but after three months of eating a lot of food to supplement my nutrition, and with the addition of lightning body training, my body has long reached the level of a soul master.

My own soul power has also reached level twelfth!
In order to make the martial soul take the route of extreme defense, with the help of his father, during this period, they also hunted down a soul beast that was over 400 years old, the Steel Beetle!

The age of this soul beast is infinitely close to the top ten core competitive advantages of martial souls proposed by Yu Xiaogang, the maximum age of the first soul ring is 423 years.

Of course, Su Bai had actually long felt that the spirit ring age theory was wrong. After all, in the original novel, after Tang San obtained the fourth spirit ring, his physique was strengthened because of the magical grass he ate, and he successfully absorbed a ten-thousand-year spirit ring.

According to Yu Xiaogang's theory, the fourth soul ring can only last for five thousand years at most.

Su Bai will definitely prove in detail the fallacy of Yu Xiaogang's theory in the future.

But after all, it was the first soul ring, and his father did not agree that he should absorb one that was too old, so he finally chose this steel beetle that was of the right age and had defensive properties.

The skin of the steel beetle is as hard as steel. Although it is only four hundred years old, when hunting it, it curls up its limbs and hides its body under the armor. It took Su Bai and his father some effort to kill it.

The main reason why Su Bai chose the steel beetle is that apart from its defensive capabilities, it has almost no offensive means.

This made Su Bai very confident that he would be able to greatly strengthen his defense.

While Su Bai was training under the waterfall, Luo Lin, the village chief of Luobu Village, staggered over with a cane. Following behind Luo Lin were Su Qing and Bai Xiu and his wife.

"Child, there is a place for a work-study student at the Titan Junior Soul Master Academy in the Tiandou Empire. It is also close to the Xingluo Empire. I have applied for this place for you."

"Thank you, Grandpa Luo Lin."

Su Bai answered sincerely.

Ever since Su Bai said that he wanted to study in the Tiandou Empire, Village Chief Luo Lin has been making arrangements. Fortunately, Su Bai's innate soul power level is relatively high. After Village Chief Luo Lin sent a letter to the Titan Soul Master Academy, he soon received a reply.

"You are the hope of our entire village. You must study hard. If you have difficulties in life, we in Luobu Village will support you." Luo Lin said.

At this moment, Su Bai suddenly heard a loud noise in the air and looked up hurriedly.

A huge rock with a diameter of about one meter was washed down by the water and hit Su Bai directly on the forehead!

The waterfall where Su Bai was located was actually only about five meters high. Suddenly such a large piece of rock fell down. People move slowly in water, and Su Bai was only a six-year-old child.

There was no way he could avoid this stone.

"Run!"

Su Qing, who arrived in a hurry, was also shocked and quickly jumped into the water, but he knew that the distance was so far that no matter how fast he was, he couldn't reach the destination in an instant.

But the sudden change left Su Qing no time to think.

This is my only bloodline!

Bai Xiu was also extremely anxious. She also ran into the water and even thought of taking the blow for her son.

But she only had the strength of a Soul Sect at level 40, and there was no way she could save him immediately.

In the opinion of Su Qing and Bai Xiu, unless the person under the waterfall was a great soul master, there was no possibility of surviving this attack.

Is our child really going to die like this?
The boulder still fell down, and just when Bai Xiu was about to close his eyes, unable to bear to watch the tragic scene of his son being hit by the boulder.

A bright blue light suddenly flashed below the waterfall.

Along with this came a familiar cry.

"First soul skill, absolute defense!"

When the boulder fell, it suddenly split in the middle, splashing huge waves of water.

The waves rose and fell, and a determined figure appeared under the waterfall.

The young man was Su Bai. The water washed over his muscles, making the lines particularly clear.

And in his hand, he also held his own martial arts shield.

After absorbing the steel beetle's soul ring, the color of this shield has turned into dark brown, and the material has also changed from the previous wooden board to a harder metal material.

The effect of the first soul skill that Su Bai just used was also very simple and crude.

That means the defense is increased by 200%!
You should know that in the original book, Dai Mubai’s first soul skill, White Tiger Body Barrier, can only increase defense by 50%.

The effect of Su Bai's absolute defense is four times that of the White Tiger Barrier!
It's so scary!
