Douluo: From Rusted Spear to Emperor-Slaying Spear

Chapter 30 If you don’t care for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth.

When Ji Wuming and the other two approached, the child also heard the noise, turned around and quickly stood up. When he saw the village chief and Dali, he immediately ran away.

"This child, what's wrong?"

Just when Ji Wuming felt that this poorly gifted child was a little shy, Dali beside him spoke up.
"A'man is shy and has a low self-esteem, especially me and the old village chief. He's afraid we'll try to reason with him. For us, splitting the mountain and building a house is the right path, but he wants to become a soul master like the former head of the Chen family."

"I see!"

Ji Wuming also had some appreciation for this. After observing for a couple of days, he found that the villagers' martial spirits never added spirit rings, and they all relied on the so-called self-created spirit skills to complete their daily life and work.

Although the children were taught the first three moves, they also required understanding. Obviously, Ah Man's understanding was not very good. However, he wanted to find another way to achieve his goal of becoming stronger.

When he thought of this, a new idea suddenly emerged in Ji Wuming's heart. If he could create his own soul skill in Xilishi Country where everyone has their own soul skill, then in the future he would definitely have at least one or two more soul skills than ordinary soul masters.

Self-created soul skills are not suppressed by the age of soul rings. As they grow, their power gradually increases. If they are very proficient, one day in the future, self-created soul skills may be comparable to those of 10-year soul ring skills.

It doesn't matter if practicing self-created soul skills delays the soul power training time for the past six months. In this village full of people with experience in self-created soul skills, I don't believe that I can't create a self-created soul skill. Even if my comprehension is poor, so what? I can just practice a few more times and it will be fine.

According to his current method of absorbing spirit rings three times across levels and practicing blood-sucking, he has reached the cultivation speed of the eighth and a half or even ninth level of the innate realm. Even if he has achieved nothing after half a year, his spirit power will not be much closer to that of Tang San.

"In order to cultivate my own soul skills, I will fight for it."

Ji Wuming muttered to himself.

Dali and the other man didn't notice Ji Wuming's change of heart. They pointed at the stone tablet and explained to him, "Master Ji, this is what Master Chen wanted to teach us in the past, his understanding of the way of the sword and his insights into his own sword moves."

"Ok!"

Ji Wuming was concentrating and carefully studying the contents on the stone tablet. When the two village chiefs saw Ji Wuming's appearance, they quietly walked away.

"A sword is a double-edged sword. The sharp edge is the way to kill..."

When Ji Wuming read through it, especially after Chen Jianjun's understanding of the sword moves, he was deeply touched. In his previous understanding of the sword, the sword was a sword of protection and also a sword of killing.
The focus of the guard is on defense, while the focus of the sword of death is on attack, using offense instead of defense.

"As expected of a single descendant of the Seven Killing Sword, you have developed the Seven Killing Sword to such an extreme, and you have a profound understanding of the essential characteristics of the Seven Killing Sword Martial Spirit!"

While sighing, Ji Wuming summoned his Blood Thunder Spear and carefully observed the tip of the spear. The tip of the spear had two edges, similar to a sword, but it was not as long as a sword and had a wide cutting area.

The basic spear techniques he had practiced before were mainly about sweeping across the enemy with a powerful attack. Therefore, his own soul skills should also start from the two points of assassination and sweeping across the enemy with a powerful attack. After pondering for a moment, Ji Wuming immediately found some adults who were quarrying stone, stood by and watched them one by one. If there was anything he did not understand, he would immediately go forward and ask.
Although they use swords, they can gain certain experience from them, thus reducing the process of creating their own soul skills from scratch.

…………

Two months later, in the Blue Silver Forest
A ten-year-old girl with fair skin and blue hair, led by six or seven Soul Kings and three Soul Masters, walked slowly through the Blue Silver Forest.

"Father, uncle, aunt, is that phoenix-like soul beast really in this forest?"

Shui Bing'er had made a special effort to learn more about the Blue Silver Forest during this period. Blue Silver Grass grew in most areas, and the Blue Silver Grass here was more lush than in other soul beast forests. There were even some Blue Silver Grasses that were hundreds or even thousands of years old, while the lifespan of other soul beasts was no more than ten thousand years.

However, is that phoenix-type soul beast really willing to stay in such a place?

Li Xianyue excitedly said to Shui Bingyue, "Bing'er, after eight or nine months of exploration, we've finally found the trace of that phoenix-like soul beast. It's within the Blue Silver Forest!"

Almost two years have passed since I parted with Ji Wuming.

During this period, she and Dean Shui personally led the team to the Star Dou Great Forest and the Blue Silver Forest respectively. Finally, they found the blue phoenix soul beast and a small blue bird that looked very similar to it in the core area of ​​the Blue Silver Forest.
According to Li Xinyue's speculation, the two blue birds were most likely the descendants of phoenix-type soul beasts.

In order not to alert the enemy, she quickly withdrew. According to Dean Shui's arrangement, except for the clan leader and the three Soul Emperors and six or seven Soul Kings, the rest of the mid- and high-level combat forces were almost all present, including a low-level Fire Attribute Soul Emperor - Li Lao.
"Young Clan Leader, we've spotted a ten-thousand-year-old phoenix spirit beast and one of its cubs up ahead. We need to be careful and not alert them. If they notice and fly away in advance, we'll be in trouble."

Upon hearing this, Dean Shui nodded in agreement and immediately led his men carefully towards the core area ahead.

Soon after, everyone gathered at the outskirts of the core area, peeling away the dense weeds blocking the way ahead. They saw a bird about seven meters tall, light blue with a few golden feathers, about seven hundred to eight hundred meters ahead.
A blue bird about one meter long was sleeping next to its thick legs.

"Bing'er, according to the detailed explanation of historical soul beasts, that blue bird, which is about one meter long, has a cultivation level of no more than seven or eight hundred years, which is within the absorption limit of your second soul ring."

Dean Shui was afraid of scaring away the two rare birds, especially the ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, so he pointed to one of the blue birds with a brilliant appearance and continued softly,
"Bing'er, get ready. We'll be attracting the Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast's attention. Once we get the Blue Bird, if necessary, you must immediately deliver a fatal blow to it. Don't leave any of it alive."

"it is good!"

Shui Bing'er had no hesitation, nor did she act with reluctance. Instead, she thought of what Ji Wuming had said to her before: If a man does not care for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. Whether it is a soul beast or a human, the law of the jungle is the most fundamental way of survival.

Just as Dean Shui and the others were about to attack, the Blue Silver Grass in the Blue Silver Forest seemed to sense a pure murderous intent and collectively moved towards the core area.

The Phoenix-type soul beast that was drinking water immediately sensed the danger from the message released by the blue silver grass and immediately raised its noble phoenix head.
