Douluo Tang San, stop rolling around

Chapter 3 The First Soul Ring
Time flies, half a year has passed, and there are only three days left before Notting College opens.

Xu Dongyang, who was sitting on the bed, woke up in the morning, exhaled and said, "After half a year of hard training, I finally reached level 10."

Xu Dongyang has gained a lot in the past six months. He has learned some basic pharmacology from Uncle Yang. Now he can use elixirs to prepare medicated food to assist in his practice.

After his martial soul awakened, all aspects of his physical condition have improved significantly, so he has been doing physical and strength training every day in the past six months.

With a strong body as a foundation and the efficient recovery brought by the medicinal diet, he has also completed the initial lightning body-building mode. Now he can use weak electric currents to stimulate his meridians and nerves to improve his meridian toughness and nerve reflex ability.

Now he has meridians that are tougher than those of soul masters of the same level and nerve reactions that far exceed those of normal people, and this is still under his normal state.

If he actively uses electric current to stimulate the meridians and nerves throughout his body, his speed can be doubled and his nerve reaction can be tripled, which is enough to crush the agility attack spirit masters of the same level in terms of speed.

Although it cannot be used to increase strength, fortunately he is a weapon spirit master and he can make up for the shortcomings in attack power by adding spirit rings to his martial spirit.

The only drawback is that this state will increase his physical consumption and nervous fatigue, and may even cause muscle tearing and spasms during combat due to exceeding his physical limits.

He had wanted to test his maximum speed at home before, but his calf cramped suddenly during the movement.

Fortunately, he tried it in advance, otherwise if this situation occurred in a battle one day, he would probably have to fall flat on his face in front of his opponent.

Therefore, this move can only be used as a trump card, but as physical strength increases, this disadvantage will be alleviated.

Xu Dongyang slowly stood up and stretched his body, then began his morning exercise, swinging the stick a thousand times with all his strength.

He has already formed the habit. At first it took him an hour and a half to complete it, but now he can finish it in one hour.

As he practiced repeatedly, his stick swinging movements went from being awkward at the beginning to becoming more and more smooth and handy now.

After morning exercises, his mother prepared dinner. Xu Dongyang came to the table and told his mother the news that his soul power had reached level ten.

"So fast? My son is excellent." Yu Shuting touched her son's head and said proudly.

"After dinner, let's go to the Wuhun Branch Hall to get a certificate, and then I will take you to get the spirit ring."

After the two finished their meal, they came to the Wuhun Branch Hall. After entering, they followed the guidance of the receptionist and quickly found Master Matthew Nuo, the person in charge of the Notting City Wuhun Branch Hall.

After explaining his purpose, he successfully obtained a one-time warrant from the Spirit Hall. During this period, Master Matthew Nuo also invited Xu Dongyang to join the Spirit Hall, but he naturally declined on the grounds that he was still young.

The mother and son rode in a carriage to the Soul Hunting Forest. In the carriage, Yu Shuting said:

"The Soul Hunting Forest belongs to the Tiandou Empire, but it is managed by the Spirit Hall, so you need a warrant from the Spirit Hall to enter."

"There are no high-level soul beasts in the Soul Hunting Forest, so it is relatively safer, but it does not mean there is no danger. When you enter the forest, do not leave my side."

Soon the two arrived at the entrance of the Soul Hunting Forest. After taking out the warrant, they entered the forest easily.

Xu Dongyang followed his mother and observed the surroundings, occasionally discovering some plants and herbs recorded in books.

"Xiaoyang, what do you think about your first soul ring?" the mother asked without turning back as she walked in front.

Xu Dongyang thought for a moment and said:

"A four hundred year old giant rock turtle."

He had read the Complete Collection of Soul Beasts long before his martial soul awakened. After all, there was no internet in this world, and reading became one of the few pastimes he had.

The Giant Rock Turtle was his choice after careful consideration. This soul beast has the earth attribute and its shell is extremely hard. Even a ten thousand year soul beast would find it difficult to break its shell. Secondly, the Giant Rock Turtle is huge and heavy. When it is not moving, it is like a small mountain. Its only drawback is that it is not aggressive and moves slowly.

What he values ​​are the two characteristics of hardness and weight. As for the means of attack, he doesn't care. For high-level spirit masters, a hundred-year-old attack spirit skill basically has little effect. The key to victory is often a high-year spirit skill, but amplification spirit skills are different. The percentage attribute bonus is more growth-oriented, and it can have a good effect even if you are a Title Douluo. Because giant rock turtles move slowly, they usually live in specific areas.

After walking for half an hour, the two arrived at a rocky hill.

At a glance, Xu Dongyang saw stones everywhere, among which there were more than a dozen huge stones that were particularly eye-catching.

Yu Shuting pointed at the boulders and said, "These boulders are giant rock turtles. The age of the giant rock turtles is their weight. The age determines their weight."

As he said this, he walked towards the giant rock turtles and patted each of the boulders. The scene was very similar to the aunt buying watermelons in front of the fruit stall in his previous life.

It didn't take long to find the destination of this trip.

When Xu Dongyang walked closer, he discovered that the boulder was essentially a turtle shell. There was a hole under the huge shell, and the giant rock turtle was curled up with its head inside, motionless, as if it was sleeping.

Although I knew from books that the giant rock turtle was sleepy all year round and was either eating or sleeping, the fact that it was still sleeping with the enemy right in front of it was definitely a weirdo in the world of soul beasts.

Yu Shuting said, "The only way the giant rock turtle can attack is by biting people. I will stun it first and then kill it with a dagger when its head comes out."

After saying that, he took out a dagger.

Xu Dongyang took the dagger, looked at his mother's martial spirit and then discharged electricity at the opponent's turtle shell. Soon the giant rock turtle fainted with its head drooping. He stepped forward and stabbed the dagger into the opponent's brain.

It is worthy of being the sewer of the food chain in the soul beast world. Four hundred years of cultivation were just gone. Xu Dongyang thought that there would be twists and turns in obtaining the soul ring.

Soon a yellow soul ring appeared. Xu Dongyang sat down cross-legged and used his mind to pull the soul ring to his body. He then felt an external soul power flowing through his meridians. Fortunately, his meridians were tough and his body was strong. He only felt a little swelling in his meridians and frowned.

Not long after, he opened his eyes with a satisfied look, stood up and summoned his martial soul Ruyi Stick. There were no major changes to the stick as a whole, but its weight had increased significantly to 50 kilograms, and its hardness had also increased.

The mother asked nervously, "What is the first soul skill?"

"My first soul skill is to double the weight of my martial soul. Every time I increase my soul power by ten levels, the weight will double. I named this soul skill Chongyue."

He didn't like fancy names, otherwise it would sound a bit stupid when read out in battle.

The mother's tense expression relaxed.

"Since you have obtained the soul ring, let's go back." After saying this, he turned and left.

After Xu Dongyang glanced at the other giant rock turtles that seemed to be still sleeping, he followed his mother away.

The two quickly walked out of the Soul Hunting Forest and returned to Nottingham City in a carriage.

When they arrived in Nottingham, Yu Shuting touched her son's head and said, "You are now a soul master, too. You can register at the Spirit Hall and receive a gold soul coin as a subsidy every month."

"Mom, what kind of organization is the Spirit Hall? I see that many spirit masters highly respect the Spirit Hall." Xu Dongyang asked.

His understanding of the Spirit Hall is that it is both good and evil. To say it is an evil force, it has indeed suppressed evil spirit masters and introduced many policies that are beneficial to civilian spirit masters. To say it is just, this organization has its own ambitions and tyranny, and it is understandable that it declared war on the two empires. After all, both the Tiandou Empire and the Xingluo Empire have a serious division between the aristocracy and the civilian class, and feudal corruption.

But the attack on Poseidon Island was entirely out of personal selfishness, and from the actions of the current Pope Bibi Dong and the previous Pope Qian Xunji, it can be seen that the Spirit Hall is not an orderly force. One kills all those with extreme and twisted personalities who do not submit, and the other can lock disciples in a small dark room and make them behave like beasts.

He wanted to see what his mother thought of the Spirit Hall. After all, his impressions came from the original novel.

“Your father and I both started out as civilian spirit masters, and we awakened our spirits with the help of the Spirit Hall. The Spirit Hall has a very good reputation among civilian spirit masters.” Yu Shuting replied with a nostalgic look on her face.

The two of them came to the Wuhun Branch Hall again to find Master Mashuno and tested his soul power. After discovering that Xu Dongyang's first soul ring was a hundred years old and his soul power had reached level 11, Master Mashuno invited him again, but was rejected. He could only watch the two leave with a resentful look on his face.
