Douluo: Starting from the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon

Chapter 111: Emperor's Holy Lance
When the old butler heard this, his eyes instinctively fell on the young master's open palm.

I saw a blue light with golden glow condensing in Lin Rong's palm.

These rays of light quickly stretched and lengthened like flowing liquid, forming the outline of a spear.

After a while, the light dissipated.

A spear with light golden patterns and made of flawless blue crystal appeared in Lin Rong's hand.

"Is this a weapon-type external soul bone?"

There was a hint of uncertainty in the old butler's delighted voice.

Externally attached soul bones are extremely rare. Throughout the history of the soul master world, the number of people who possess externally attached soul bones can be counted on one hand.

Therefore, he could only infer from similar weapon-type soul skills that the spear in front of him was a weapon-type external soul bone.

"Yes, it is a weapon-type external soul bone."

Lin Rong answered affirmatively.

The bloodline of the Blue Silver Emperor, eighty-five thousand years of cultivation, and sacrifice, these three combined together, the probability of dropping soul bones is infinitely close to the level that a hundred thousand year soul beast will definitely drop soul bones.

However, although the soul bones produced by sacrifice can be freely selected from the six conventional soul bones, the positions of Lin Rong's remaining three conventional soul bones have already been determined.

Therefore, Lin Rong tried to intervene with the power of the Washing Marrow Sutra, so that the soul bone energy contained in the soul ring, which had not yet condensed into a form, could evolve into the form of an external soul bone.

Things went smoothly, and the ball of soul bone energy that had not yet taken shape finally condensed into the spear in Lin Rong's hand.

He was not surprised that the attached soul bone was a spear.

In the original novel, after Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor bloodline awakened, the soul skill bestowed by the fifth soul ring that was condensed was the Blue Silver Overlord Spear.

"This spear was condensed from the Blue Silver Emperor, so I gave it a domineering name, the Emperor's Holy Spear."

Lin Rong looked at the old housekeeper and said briskly:
"Because it is a weapon-type external soul bone, this spear has no attribute enhancement for me. All the abilities are concentrated on the spear itself."

"First, any soul skill performed through the Emperor's Holy Spear will have its soul power consumption reduced by 20%, its release speed increased by 20%, and its power increased by 20%."

"This ability is fixed and cannot become stronger as the age of the attached soul bone increases."

"Secondly, the Emperor's Holy Spear carries with it the Emperor's Holy Might. Enemies hit by the Holy Spear have a chance of being forced to interrupt their soul skills. The greater the gap in strength between the opponent and me, the higher the chance of forced interruption."

"The Emperor's Holy Power can also be released actively by consuming spiritual power. As long as the target's spiritual power is not greater than mine, the soul skill being performed will be forcibly interrupted."

"Finally, the Emperor's Holy Lance can be possessed by spirits."

"The Nine-Curved Vine Dragon is my martial soul. Its dragon soul can attach itself to the Emperor's Holy Spear, giving it a variety of special abilities."

"Needless to say, the inherent dragon power of the martial soul can be perfectly inherited by the Emperor's Holy Spear. The various elemental attributes of the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon can also be inherited by the Emperor's Holy Spear and evolve some special abilities."

"For example, the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon has some power of space elements because it absorbed the Sky Green Bamboo Soul Ring. After the spirit is attached, the Emperor's Holy Spear inherits the space element attribute, and the spear body itself will develop special abilities related to space attributes."

When the old butler heard this, he also smiled and exclaimed:
"This spirit-attaching ability is a perfect match with the young master's fifth spirit skill, the dragon soul clone. Two dragon souls, one for the spirit and one for the body, is simply a perfect combination."

"I was thinking, given your temper, young master, in the battle with Yang Wudi, you wouldn't be planning to use this Emperor's Holy Spear to fight him head-on, right?"

Lin Rong's thoughts were guessed by the old housekeeper. He sighed in his heart that Grandpa Yu really understood him, and replied:
"That's right." "Yang Wudi is a man of unruly character. If you crush him head-on in the area he is proud of, the effect of him being convinced after being defeated will be much better than other methods."

"I don't know how to use a spear. Even if I sharpen my spear before the battle, I can't compare to Yang Wudi who has been immersed in this art for decades. But strength can defeat skill. No matter how profound his spear skills are, I can break them with my own strength."

The tone of these words was full of confidence and casualness.

The improvement of Lin Rong's physical fitness by the sixth soul ring, which is as long as 85,000 years, exceeds the sum of the previous five soul rings.

At the same time, with the soul power cultivation at the peak of level 64, after being amplified by all his own soul skills, the soul power strength is also top-level among the soul fighters.

Whether in terms of physical fitness or soul power, he is much stronger than Yang Wudi. In addition, with the power of the Emperor's Holy Spear, unless Yang Wudi breaks through to the Titled Douluo on the spot, Lin Rong has absolute confidence that he can suppress and defeat him in a head-on battle.

Compared with the power of the Emperor's Holy Spear, the sixth soul skill "Vine Dragon Prison Sky Array" given to Lin Rong by the Blue Silver Emperor does not seem so outstanding.

The Vine Dragon Prisoner Sky Formation is a group control soul skill. The maximum coverage range of this soul skill is extremely large and is closely related to the numerous banyan tree seedlings of the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon.

Within the coverage range of the soul skill, it is like being in an endless banyan forest that blocks out the sky and the sun.

Each of these banyan trees can move its position at any time, together forming an ever-changing formation.

Lin Rong is in the formation, and his real body can instantly appear at any location in the formation.

The only way to break the formation is to destroy all the banyan trees in an instant. Otherwise, the people trapped inside can only escape after the banyan trees’ soul power is exhausted or the formation is canceled actively.

The Vine Dragon Prisoner Heaven Formation combines the functions of trapping and killing enemies. Its only drawback is that it consumes a very high amount of soul power.

But it is not without advantages. After releasing this soul skill, the Vine Dragon Prisoner Sky Formation can actively absorb the free soul power in the air to reduce Lin Rong's own soul power consumption.

Lin Rong was quite satisfied with this soul skill.

The strength of the Vine Dragon Prisoner Sky Formation depends on the strength of the banyan tree seedlings of the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon. It will become stronger as the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon becomes stronger, and the power limit of this soul skill will not be affected by the age of the soul ring itself.

Lin Rong looked down at the many blue silver grasses growing well on the ground and thought:

"Right now, Tang Hao is dead, and the Blue Silver King (Emperor) has become my spirit ring. I can't find this Blue Silver Forest, and there is no Blue Silver Grass of a high enough age to awaken his bloodline. I'm afraid that Tang San's Blue Silver Grass cannot be awakened a second time and upgraded to the Blue Silver Emperor martial spirit."

"However, Tang San's own strength does not rely much on the Blue Silver Grass spirit."

"A life-and-death duel is not a soul master competition, there aren't so many restrictions."

"With the Tang Sect cheats, and with similar spirit powers, Tang San will have no problem dealing with Qian Renxue, who has almost zero combat experience."

"Therefore, whether Tang San awakens the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Spirit or not has no impact on the plan. The most important thing now is to get the Xuantian Gong's mental formula from Tang San."

"For any authentic cultivation method, the mental method and formula are of utmost importance."

"Without the corresponding mental formula, it will be useless even if you can completely imitate the operation route of Xuantian Gong."

"If you want to get these out of Tang San, you need to take some extraordinary measures."

"It's just right. Since Yu Xiaogang has come to Tiandou City and Shi Nian has followed him, we can try to let Shi Nian use nightmares to create an illusion so that Tang San can talk in his sleep and recite the complete formula of the Xuantian Gong."
