The Great Thief of the Universe, Starting from Douluo

Chapter 9 Continuous Absorption
Space-attribute soul beasts are not easy to find.

Among the soul beasts Zhang San currently knows, there are not many that have spatial attributes.

The most well-known one is the Soft Bone Rabbit, which is Xiao Wu's original soul beast.

This kind of soul beast is weak, but it has life-saving abilities, charm, golden body, teleportation, nothingness, and both spiritual and spatial attributes.

However, Zhang San did not list it as his first choice. He had requirements for the purity of the elements. Spatial ability was just a way of escape that the Soft Bone Rabbit evolved for survival. It was still far inferior to those soul beasts that specialized in using spatial ability as a means of combat.

When they arrived outside the Sunset Forest, Zhang San got off the carriage.

Under the protection of the Knights Templar, the group entered the forest with great fanfare.

The two agile attack soul kings in the team were exploring the way ahead, taking turns reporting the traces of the surrounding soul beasts.

Unlike the last soul hunting, this time Zhang San encountered a suitable soul beast just over half an hour after entering the forest - a 2,500-year-old emerald mantis.

Emerald Mantis, a space-attribute soul beast with agility and attack, is good at hiding and has extremely fast speed.

In addition to the pair of terrifyingly sharp sickles, the attack method of this soul beast is mainly based on spatial attributes. It is said that every strike of the Emerald Mantis that is more than ten thousand years old can tear the space apart and use the power of space to strangle the enemy.

In addition, this soul beast also has the ability to teleport and travel long distances through space, which makes it one of the most terrifying hunters among insect soul beasts.

Fortunately, Emerald Mantises under ten thousand years old do not have the ability to travel long distances, so they pose less of a threat.

After Salas personally took action and released the pressure of Soul Fighter, the mantis couldn't even use teleportation and was killed instantly by Zhang San's sword.

Then Zhang San sat cross-legged and activated his soul ring.

An hour passed in a flash, and with the operation of the Beiming Divine Art, Zhang San easily absorbed this purple soul ring, which was far beyond the endurance limit of an ordinary soul master.

When the two soul rings, one yellow and one purple, slowly rose up, the entire team, including Sarath, fell into speechless shock.

"The second ring of the millennium?"

The leader, the Soul Emperor, had a look of shock in his eyes, and his voice trembled slightly.

This group of Templars had no idea about Zhang San's identity. They only knew that he was a genius from Wuhun City. Only Salas and a few of his cardinals knew that he was the Pope's new disciple.

really…

as predicted!

Salas' eyes flashed with excitement. The time it took Zhang San to absorb his second soul ring really shattered his worldview.

At the age of six, he was able to break the rules and absorb a two thousand year spirit ring. Even the one in the Prince's Mansion probably couldn't do such a feat, right?

Zhang San didn't care about everyone's reactions and quietly checked his condition.

Soul Power Level 26...

The 2,500-year-old soul ring, plus the soul power of the slave trader absorbed in Kate City before, should have been able to improve the soul of a soul master by four or five levels, but it only allowed Zhang San to improve to six levels.

However, Zhang San was not dissatisfied. This time, absorbing the soul ring was no burden to him, so the absorption level was naturally more perfect. Most of the energy was integrated into the martial soul, and the quality of the soul ring was quite high!
As for the abilities gained, as expected, they are still all-round enhancements: the perception radius is increased by 200 meters, spatial attributes are immune, the maximum speed and flight speed are increased by 100% under normal circumstances, and the effect is doubled in the space diving state!
In addition, in the non-single-attribute diving state, the amplification effects of the two soul rings can be superimposed.

Zhang San's first soul ring's speed increased by 50%, and by 100% on the ground. Combined with the 100% bonus of the second soul ring under normal conditions, he can burst out at a speed of 200% on the ground.

The effect of space diving did not disappoint Zhang San. It ignored the effects of space damage, and the body merged into the surrounding space, achieving an unselectable virtual state.

Because it is a passive skill, Zhang San cannot control a certain part of his body to become virtual, so as to counterattack while avoiding damage from other elements.

The only thing he can control subjectively is to make himself disappear into the void. Although this can avoid harm, he will also be unable to attack others during this period.

Unless he has all attribute immunities.

Such as the five elements, wind and thunder, light and darkness, time and space...

There is still a long way to go...

Zhang San chuckled, stood up and stretched his body, and his whole body made a crisp sound like popping beans.

Judging from the appearance, after taking whale glue twice and nourishing his soul power, Zhang San is now much stronger than he was a month ago. His height has also increased by half a head in just one month, and he looks like he is already seven or eight years old.

"Senior Sarath."

"Your Highness, please give me your instructions."

Hearing Zhang San calling him, Salas quickly responded.

Zhang San picked up a stone and said eagerly, "Can you help me test the strength of my attack?"

"It's your honor."

Sarath did not dare to delay and quickly took a defensive stance.

whoosh-

Zhang San threw the stone casually, and it made a whistling sound and shot towards Sarath like a cannonball!

Sarath's eyes narrowed, and he raised his hand to release his soul power to resist.

The moment the stone touched his palm, it exploded and debris flew everywhere.

"hiss…"

Feeling the overwhelming force, Sarath swung his hands, slightly startled. "Judging from the strength, to be as casual as Your Highness, one must at least reach the level of a fourth-ring Soul Sect!"

Zhang San nodded, and had a rough understanding of his own strength in his heart.

"Okay, let's go..."

The group came and went in a hurry.

…………

"You're back? So soon?"

Xue Qinghe was stunned when he heard the news that the soul hunting team had returned. He was not ready to go out yet.

Under normal circumstances, a soul hunting session would take at least two days. Zhang San's situation was not uncommon, but it was very rare.

"Looks like I was lucky, I just happened to run into a soul beast that was suitable for me..."

After thinking it over again and again, Xue Qinghe shook his head slightly and gave up the idea of ​​going over to meet her.

His identity is a secret. Apart from the two Titled Douluo, Citun and Shelong, who follow him, only Salas knows the details.

It would be fine if he was outside the city, but now that the other party has returned to Tiandou City, considering his status as the crown prince of the Tiandou Empire, it would not be appropriate to meet him rashly.

"Forget it, bring him to see me when you have the chance."

He was just a new disciple of that woman. Even though he had some talent, he was not someone he took too seriously.

The reason I wanted to meet him was mostly out of curiosity.

"this…"

The porcupine seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Xue Qinghe frowned slightly when he saw this: "What?"

"Before Sarath left, he sent word that the child had awakened less than a month ago and had already reached the level of a Great Soul Master."

Thorny Porpoise Douluo said in a complicated tone, "This boy's talent is perhaps as outstanding as your Highness's. I think... it's best to take him seriously."

"Less than a month? Great Soul Master?" Xue Qinghe stood up suddenly, his eyes full of disbelief.

He knew the two words separately, but found them a little difficult to understand when put together.

"How did he do that?"

Xue Qinghe didn't understand. Not only did he not understand, he also didn't understand the title of Thorny Porpoise.

"I don't know."

The Thorny Porpoise shook his head. "It is said that the child did not have any guardians accompanying him. He came here from Wuhun City alone."

"Where's his martial spirit? What is a martial spirit?"

"Companion spirit, cloak and boots."

"???"

Xue Qinghe didn't understand, but was deeply shocked: "Such talent is indeed worthy of my respect... In that case, I should meet him."

"I'm afraid it's a little late. I just received news that the child is gone. He just left Sunset Forest and parted ways with Sarath and the others."

She Long Douluo walked into the courtyard with a strange expression on his face. "But compared to this, there's something else that Your Highness should be interested in... His second spirit ring comes from a 2,500-year-old emerald mantis!"

"Two thousand five hundred years..."

Xue Qinghe was speechless for a moment.

If the news is true, then it seems that there is nothing commendable about me, a genius with an innate level 20 soul power and the inheritance of the Angel God...

After being stunned for a long time, Xue Qinghe sighed softly: "Forget it, I will see him eventually. Just keep an eye on him and notify me as soon as you have any news."

"Yes!"

The porcupine responded.

Zhang San didn't know that someone in Tiandou City was eagerly waiting for him. At this time, he had already appeared in a small village not far from Sunset Forest.

After wandering around the village in stealth, Zhang San found a dilapidated courtyard that had been abandoned for a long time, with a dry well in the courtyard.

Zhang San slowly flew down from the wellhead. In the darkness below the dry well, dots of bright golden light flickered, as if greeting him. It was the Blue Silver Emperor that he had left here in advance.

Before heading to Tiandou City, Zhang San had already checked here and confirmed that no one in the village had soul power. Only then did he hide the Blue Silver Emperor here, intending to absorb the Blue Silver Emperor's soul bone here after obtaining the soul ring.

Without any nonsense or psychological preparation, Zhang San directly took out the soul bone, concealed the soul bone's aura with the cloak, and began to absorb it on the spot!
hum-

A cool and comfortable soul power instantly surged into Zhang San's body, making him feel as if he was wandering in an ocean of life force. The pores all over his body dilated and he moaned comfortably.

In front of Zhang San, the crystal blue soul bone quietly disappeared the moment it came into contact with Zhang San's right leg, turning into countless blue-gold air currents that filled around his right leg.

Zhang San gradually immersed himself in the cool and soothing energy fluctuations. The vortex of soul power in his dantian spun rapidly, accelerating the refining of the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone, and his soul power gradually became stained blue.

This blue color slowly traveled through the meridians in his body, gently nourishing his meridians.

Before he knew it, the meridians in Zhang San's body had been dyed blue, and under the influence of this blue, his meridians were constantly widened and became stronger!
Because of the powerful nature of the internal force of the Beiming Divine Art, Zhang San's eight extraordinary meridians had long been opened up by the Beiming soul power, and its strength was far beyond that of ordinary people.

What he didn't expect was that the Blue Silver Emperor's leg bones could actually widen his meridians again on this basis!
Soon, three days passed quietly.

Zhang San slowly opened his eyes and found that his body was covered with a layer of smelly dirt. He frowned in disgust.

He found a small river to wash himself clean and changed his clothes. Then he took the Blue Silver Emperor and left this inconspicuous little village.

Absorbing a hundred thousand year soul bone in three days was much faster than he expected.

Of course, this is mainly due to the powerful devouring ability of Bei Ming's soul power. Although it is not a professional match, it still saves Zhang San a lot of time.

But what surprised him the most was the soul bone skill of flying.

Originally, Zhang San felt that this soul bone was a bit useless because its ability overlapped with his own martial soul. If it were not for the extremely effective healing soul bone skill "Wildfire Cannot Be Extinguished, Spring Breeze Blows New Life", he would never have absorbed this soul bone.

To his surprise, the flying soul bone skill could actually enhance his martial soul ability!

A 100% increase in flight speed can be superimposed with the effects of soul skills, and the soul power consumption during flight is reduced by 50%!

For Zhang San, who was already prepared to waste a skill slot, this was definitely a pleasant surprise.

"Next is... Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire!"

Without stopping for a moment, Zhang San quickly arrived at a small town where soul masters gathered. He bought a simple map of the Sunset Forest with the approximate area drawn on it. Then he disappeared and plunged into the forest.

The location of the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire is not difficult to find. The original book records that it is an inverted cone-shaped terrain surrounded by mountains.

After searching for several mountainous areas on the map, Zhang San soon found his target - a circular mountain range shrouded in miasma.

The figure disappeared into the void, and Zhang San flew over the mountain top invisibly and came to the location of the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.

It was a not very big pond, with the water divided into milky white and scarlet, clearly separated.

All around it, various exotic flowers and plants are blooming luxuriantly, complementing each other and creating a vibrant scene.

It was daytime, and the misty steam above the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire did not block the sunlight, so Zhang San could easily see everything around him.

Noticing the elegant little house standing at the mountain pass, Zhang San raised his eyebrows slightly.

Sure enough, Dugu Bo had already discovered this place...

After taking a closer look, he found that there was no one in the room. Then Zhang San landed beside the spring and placed the Blue Silver Emperor near the spring.

Feeling the surrounding atmosphere that is very beneficial to the growth of plants, the leaves of the Blue Silver Emperor Grass swayed gently, as if cheering.

Zhang San took out two daggers from the storage soul guide, one made of iron and the other made of jade, then took off his clothes and threw them and the storage soul guide aside.

Then he followed the system's guidance and took down two magical herbs in turn. With one hand, he used his soul power in the positive direction to wrap the Fire Apricot Grass with extreme heat. With the other hand, he used his soul power in the negative direction to wrap the Eight Aniseed Mysterious Ice Grass with extreme cold. He brought the two herbs close to each other and let their auras blend.

Soon, bursts of white light emanated from the Fiery Apricot Tree, and the Eight-Angled Mysterious Ice Grass also began to glow red.

Seeing this, Zhang San ate the two magical herbs without hesitation.

Once the herbal remedy enters the stomach, its medicinal properties quickly take effect.

Zhang San's body suddenly trembled, and an icy blue light rose from under his feet and quickly spread throughout his body.

In the blink of an eye, red color rose again, making his entire body crimson.

In just a few breaths, the red and blue colors on Zhang San's body kept changing alternately, looking extremely strange.

The power of the two extremely cold and hot magical herbs conflicted with each other in the body. If it were anyone else, they would have been blown up by the extreme medicinal power.

Fortunately, he was protected by the Beiming Divine Art. Although these two auras were unbearable, they were not unbearable for Zhang San.

He even felt that even without the promoting effect of the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, he could still absorb the two magical herbs completely with the help of the Beiming Divine Art, but he would inevitably have to endure more pain.

Zhang San had no masochistic tendencies. As soon as the drug took effect, he jumped into the spring and immersed himself in it. The Beiming Divine Art in his body was running wildly, refining the power of the elixir at an extremely fast speed.

[Congratulations to the host for intercepting the Eight-Angled Mysterious Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot, causing Tang San to lose the opportunity to temper his body with ice and fire, and his luck was damaged. He gained a luck value of 500000!]

Half a million?
Do these two herbs actually have more luck than the soul bones?
As the drug gradually took effect, the pain in his body intensified and Zhang San felt his consciousness becoming increasingly dizzy.

With a heart full of questions, he gradually fell into a deep sleep.

　I was not satisfied with the plot and revised it several times, which wasted a lot of time. I haven't made up the two thousand yuan that was missing yesterday. I will make up for it as soon as possible. I also ask everyone to vote for me and read more. Thank you!
