Douluo Dalu: I Have a Soul Beast Clone.

Chapter 3 The First Soul Skill
Li House.

After falling asleep at the Green Scaled Serpent King's clone's place.

Li Changan's real body opened his eyes and couldn't help rubbing his eyebrows. This state of distracting and controlling two bodies at the same time was really exhausting.

I don’t know if there will be any improvement when his level reaches a higher level in the future?

Thinking of this, he continued to summon his sword spirit, stroking his sword gently as if he were stroking the skin of a beauty, just as if he were treating fragile porcelain, as if he was afraid of accidentally crushing it.

After all, in this world, wealth and glory, and dominance in the world, all depend on this sword in your hand.

"Let's call this sword 'The Jade Scale Sword'!"

He named his martial soul, and then began to carefully explore what abilities his martial soul possessed.
After some research, Li Changan discovered that this martial spirit was still mainly a sword under normal circumstances, but if necessary, it could also transform from a sword into a snake form. However, it could not possess a body like a beast martial spirit and change its form. It could only control its actions like controlling a clone, which was no different from controlling a soul beast.

But this is also good, and being able to possess is not necessarily a good thing. After all, isn't Dugu Bo possessed by the spirit, and therefore his body has been corroded by the spirit's own toxins for years? It is good that he cannot possess. It avoids the trouble of toxin invasion.

At most, it would just be a loss of some of the physical enhancements after the spirit possessed the body. But compared to the threat of poisoning after the spirit possessed the body, these were not worth mentioning at all.

the next day.

The people sent by the emperor came to Li's mansion.

This is a handsome middle-aged man, who is also a Soul Saint-level soul master. This trip is to take him to the Soul Beast Forest to hunt soul beasts and obtain his first soul ring.

Although Emperor Tiandou wanted to win him over because of his innate talent of full soul power, there was still a certain degree of uncertainty in the matter of martial soul mutation. After all, a martial soul like the "Green Scale Sword" had never appeared before, and no one knew whether it was strong or weak. If there were any defects, it would not be beautiful.

So in order to avoid rewarding him greatly, only to find out that he was just a show-off with no potential, Emperor Tiandou sent someone to take him to hunt for spirit rings, and judge his future by the spirit skills of the first spirit ring he obtained. Is it worth winning over? How much effort should be made to win him over?

It all depends on his performance after obtaining the spirit ring.

If the spirit ring Li Changan obtained had very good spirit skills and high potential, then the reward would naturally be huge. But if the potential was not high and not worthy of the innate full spirit power, then the reward for him might be just a casual one.

Soul Hunting Forest.

It is a place artificially created by the Tiandou Empire to raise soul beasts. It is much less dangerous than the wild soul beast forest. But in contrast, the soul beast species inside are not so rich, and the age is not too high.

However, Li Changan only wanted to obtain the first soul ring, so it was enough to come to the Soul Hunting Forest. There was no need to travel all the way to the Soul Beast Forest to hunt soul beasts. That place was a high-risk area, and even a soul saint might be in danger of his life.

The middle-aged Soul Saint brought Li Changan here. The guard guarding the gate of the Soul Hunting Forest obviously knew him and opened the door without even showing the token.

That's the benefit of privilege.

"According to the characteristics of your martial souls, your sword martial soul is naturally poisonous, and your weapon martial soul is sharp, so the soul beasts suitable for hunting are poisonous and sharp armor-breaking soul beasts..." The middle-aged Soul Sage led Li Changan to walk slowly in the Soul Hunting Forest, and said calmly: "You can choose whether you prefer poison or sword."

"..."

Li Changan was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Can we have both? Find a soul beast that is both poisonous and sharp?"

The middle-aged Soul Saint was stunned when he heard him say that. After thinking for a while, he said, "Generally speaking, if the effect is too dispersed, the power of the soul skill will be reduced. But if you insist, with the special nature of your martial soul, it is not impossible to give it a try. Maybe you can really have both."

Of course, the reason why he agreed so easily was that he felt that the first soul ring, as a transitional soul ring in the early stage, would not have much effect in the later stage. After all, how strong could a hundred-year soul ring be? So as long as the age limit was met and the characteristics of the soul ring did not deviate too far from the martial soul itself, he thought it would be fine.

The middle-aged Soul Sage was obviously very familiar with the Soul Hunting Forest. According to Li Changan's request, he quickly brought him to a dense bamboo forest.

The bamboo in this bamboo forest is different from other bamboos. The bamboo is white jade-like in color, and the leaves are shaped like sword blades. The light blue is dotted with black lines, and they sway with the wind. A fresh fragrance hits you in the face~
Anyone who sees it will feel that the bamboos in this bamboo forest are rare and precious.

But in fact, this is a plant soul beast called "Poison Sword Bamboo".

The sword-like bamboo leaves were extremely sharp and contained poison. The attack method was usually to swing the branches and use the dagger-like leaves to cut the opponent. If necessary, the leaves could be used as flying knives.

There are at least dozens of poisonous sword bamboos in this bamboo forest. The oldest one is a thousand-year-old poisonous sword bamboo, and the youngest is about ten years old. Among them is the hundred-year-old poisonous sword bamboo that Li Changan needs. "Roar!"

After the middle-aged Soul Saint arrived here, he roared and his martial spirit possessed him. His whole body instantly grew taller, and muscles and dense bear hair appeared on his body. He had transformed into a big brown bear in human form.

A total of seven soul rings were circling around his body, and the second and third soul rings lit up. A golden light appeared on the big brown bear's body to protect himself. At the same time, his claws also extended several feet of golden light, making his claws longer.

He roared and rushed into the bamboo forest.

A barbarian bear swung and chopped.

The poison sword bamboos were not to be outdone by the attacks, and they swung their branches to lash out, but they were blocked by the golden light on the opponent's body, and their leaves could not cut through the defense. The ones farther away fired leaves like flying knives, which were also blocked by the golden light.

Li Changan stood far away and watched the big brown bear, the incarnation of the middle-aged Soul Saint, wreak havoc, then dig out a poisonous sword bamboo and run out wildly.

The bad thing about plant soul beasts is that they generally cannot move. They can only stay where they are and be slaughtered. Of course, some soul beasts with high age can move freely. However, these poison sword bamboos in front of them, which are no more than a thousand years old, obviously do not have the ability to move.

After he rushed out of the attack range, he could no longer be hit with the branches. He could only launch leaf knives from the spot, but the result was naturally useless. It was like he was in a state of impotence and rage.

"boom!"

The big brown bear casually threw the bamboo he dug out onto the ground. Once it left the soil, the poison sword bamboo immediately lost its vitality like a fish out of water. It completely wilted.

"Go ahead, aim at the core roots at the base of the tree and cut off the connections, then you can kill it." The big brown bear turned back into the appearance of a middle-aged man, took a long breath and said.

At this time, most of the bamboo body of this poison sword bamboo, which was about 400 years old but no more than 500 years old, had been broken, and its vitality was seriously damaged. In addition, it was dug out of the soil and many of its roots were torn off. It was basically half dead.

Li Changan did not hesitate. He raised his hand and summoned his Green Scale Sword. He pointed the jade-like tip of the sword at the core part he mentioned and stabbed it hard.

"laugh!"

It pierced the epidermis easily, and before it had time to penetrate deeper, a green color appeared at the wound and then spread rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, the entire root of the poisonous sword bamboo was corroded by the toxin and completely necrotic.

The middle-aged Soul Saint's pupils shrank when he saw this scene. He was surprised and said, "What a strong poison! It has such a strong killing power on plants. It seems that this kid's martial soul is really not simple!"

After the roots of the poison sword bamboo completely died, a circle of yellow spirit rings slowly rose from the corpse and floated in the air, waiting for him to absorb it.

Li Changan was not in a hurry to absorb it, but turned to look at the middle-aged Soul Saint. Before he could say anything, he got another assurance from the other party: "Judging from the color of the soul ring, this poison sword bamboo is about four hundred and several dozen years old, and definitely not more than five hundred years old. With your innate full soul power, it may be a little difficult to absorb it, but it will not be life-threatening!"

The reason why he couldn't determine the exact age of this spirit ring was mainly because this thing didn't make any prompt sounds. Who knew exactly how many four hundred years it was?

It was already amazing that he could tell roughly how many years it was by looking at the color. If he was asked to tell exactly how many years it was, that would be really hard for him.

Normally, as long as the first soul ring is no older than 423 years, there is no big risk in absorbing it. However, Yu Xiaogang clearly stated that the maximum age limit for absorbing the first soul ring is years. In fact, anyone with a little common sense knows that this is nonsense.

First of all, how do you know that the soul ring you absorbed is from 423, not 424 or 425? Would it make a sound like in the game?
In such a situation, Yu Xiaogang's calculation of the number of years it takes to absorb spirit rings, which was accurate to the single digit, seemed very unreasonable.

Putting aside how this data was obtained, the question is how do you determine the exact age of the spirit ring in front of you?
Do you, Yu Xiaogang, have a soul ring age scanning system that can easily scan out the age of the soul ring in front of you?
What nonsense!
……

After Li Changan got the accurate answer from the middle-aged soul saint, he was completely relieved and prepared to absorb the soul ring. After all, he only had one life, so he naturally needed to be cautious. It would be very risky to rashly absorb a soul ring with a very high age. Li Changan didn't have any cheats, so he didn't dare to do those things that would absorb a thousand-year soul ring for the first time.

What's more, as for the age of spirit rings, if necessary, you can take the Divine Examination to improve it in the later stage. There is no need to risk your life to absorb a spirit ring with a very high age.

Li Changan sat cross-legged, then with a pull of his soul power, the soul ring flew lightly to the top of his head and slowly merged into his body...
