Douluo, my clone Groudon

Chapter 48: Second Soul Skill, Moon Clone (Happy New Year's Eve!)
"There will always be lucky ones who, by chance, cultivate for 50,000 years. Perhaps there won't be one in a few thousand years, but at least the bloodline of the Moonworm is still being passed down."

Gula satisfied his desire to talk and urged Xiao Wu: "Don't delay, replicate the spirit ring as soon as possible. I'm very interested in how you transform your spirit skills."

Xiao Wu stuck out her tongue and said, "I know. I've been urging you."

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Xiao Wu used her soul power to communicate with the Moonlight Bug Soul Ring. The soul power source hidden deep in her body separated its power and continuously flowed between Xiao Wu and the soul ring.

There was a hint of purple in Gula's eyes, and his eye of identification had already been opened, watching Xiao Wu's changes.

Gula heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the words "taking the path of moonlight evolution" in Xiao Wu's introduction.

The facts show that the principles of evolution in the two worlds are somewhat similar, and the value of knowledge in his mind is still increasing.

Gula concentrated on studying the principles of how Xiao Wu used her origin to condense her spirit ring.

"...It requires communicating with the spirit ring remnant and plundering the opponent's spirit skill information. No wonder the spirit beast transformation didn't choose this path."

"Not only is it unsafe, but we also need to make a psychological distinction. If Xiao Wu didn't bear the vengeance of her mother's murder and I didn't inspire her to fight, she wouldn't have chosen this thorny path."

Gula muttered to himself.

Since Xiao Wu dared to take the risk, he would not let her down.

"Once you have enough points, you can redeem them for fairy-type moves, Moon Attack. This should be helpful in inspiring Xiao Wu to control moonlight."

Seeing that Xiao Wu would be fine, Gula looked for a place to meditate and recover his soul power.

Tang San used his second soul skill to store soul power last night. He didn't need to rest yet and was waiting nearby for Xiao Wu to wake up.

An hour later, the purple soul ring dissipated, Xiao Wu opened her eyes, and a silver light flashed in the depths of her pink eyes.

Without waiting for the two to ask, Xiao Wu showed off a cute and proud smile and boasted, "My second soul skill is called the Moon Clone."

"You can usually draw on the moonlight for cultivation. Depending on the brightness of the moonlight, your cultivation speed will increase by at least 10% and up to double."

"During battle, you can use soul power and moonlight energy to create four moon shadow clones. These clones possess 50% of my attributes and all my soul skills. They are indestructible and can exist for half an hour."

Xiao Wu lit up her soul ring, and a clone appeared in front, behind, left and right. The clones' expressions were less lively, and were as cold and indifferent as moonlight.

She directed her clone to move back and forth, giggling, "Also, under the moonlight, as long as I have enough soul power, I can switch positions with my clone at will."

"Really? It would be great if there were no final restrictions." At the end, Xiao Wu pouted, she was still not satisfied.

"Don't be ungrateful."

Gula carefully observed the Moon Shadow clone and said, "The effect is already quite good. It is the normal strength of a 4,000-year soul skill. Once your martial soul evolves, the restrictions should be removed."

"If it were a Hundred Years Spirit Ring, at most it would have the ability to increase cultivation speed. The Thousand Years Spirit Ring has the ability to have multiple clones, which is much stronger than the Charming Spirit Skill you originally prepared."

Tang San agreed: "Indeed, clone spirit skills are very rare, and those that can use the spirit skills of the original body are even rarer. Generally, dark attribute spirit beasts can provide clone spirit skills, but I didn't expect that moonlight bugs can also provide them."

Gula speculated: "It should be related to Xiao Wu herself. The clone is an ability that only moon bugs have. Xiao Wu is lucky to have obtained the clone soul skill by relying on a moon bug."

He pushed the credit onto Xiao Wu, and didn't mention that he picked a moonlight bug with the richest bloodline, just to make Xiao Wu happy for a while.

"Humph, of course, Sister Xiaowu is the best!" Xiaowu raised her head and really thought it was her own credit.

Gula couldn't help laughing and decided to find an opportunity to tell Xiao Wu the truth.

"Cough cough!"

Gula was afraid that she would laugh, so she coughed twice to attract the attention of the two people.

"I still need to hunt souls. Let me tell you about the chosen soul ring targets."

Xiao Wu calmed down and waited with Tang San for Gula to speak.

"The lava beast has both earth and fire attributes, and can manipulate rock and fire. According to my martial soul evolution theory, low-level spirit rings are to lay the foundation for martial soul evolution. You should choose spirit skills that can enhance your mastery of these two attributes."

"Fire is a secondary attribute, not a fundamental one, so there's no need to rush it for now. Therefore, it's best to acquire soul skills that control the earth element, which are both offensive and defensive. The upper limit of power depends entirely on the soul master's individual performance."

Upon hearing this, Tang San immediately said, "Elemental control spirit skills are very rare. I want to find them among thousand-year-old spirit beasts..."

"No, I want to try the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring."

Gula interrupted Tang San.

If he only had the Groudon spirit, he wouldn't be so radical.

However, the second spiritual spirit and the extremely strong superpower gift given by Celebi make Gula's spiritual power comparable to that of a Soul Emperor. The soul vibration of the ten thousand year spirit ring is not a problem for him.

With the spirits of two divine beasts in his body, if he still practiced according to the conventional spirit master route, Gula would look down on himself.

Since the conditions exist, he will definitely not back down because of the risks. Even if Seagod Island can increase the age of soul rings in the future, that is a matter for the future and will not prevent him from strengthening his foundation.

Tang San didn't know that the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring had soul vibrations at this time, and he was just shocked and said: "Can your physical strength reach the Soul King stage!?"

Tang Hao in the dark was also shocked. What kind of monster was this? His second soul ring reached the standard of a ten thousand year soul ring. If he hadn't watched Gula grow up in the village, he would have thought that the other party was a transformed soul beast.

Is it so unreasonable to be born with supernatural powers?
Gula spread his hands: Having talent means you can do whatever you want.

"Indeed, earth-attributed beast spirits are good at defense, and the benefits they provide to the body are terrifying. After a year of training in the gravity field, my physical strength is already comparable to that of a Soul King."

In fact, he is comparable to the Soul Emperor, but there is no need to say it out loud to scare Tang San.

"Also, the spiritual power that awakened on its own before now seems to be a precursor to awakening the second martial soul. Even without adding spirit rings, the spiritual power is also increasing. There is no problem fusing with the ten thousand year spirit ring."

Tang San took a deep breath. He needed to calm down. Thinking back to the soul master biographies he had read, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Big brother is really terrifying. There has never been a soul master like you in the history of the continent."

He couldn't help but feel powerless. He thought that training as planned and obtaining a ten-thousand-year soul ring when he was a Soul Sect was already very radical. He didn't expect Gula to be even more terrifying. He was simply a monster.

Xiao Wu was also surprised, but she had been shocked by Gula so many times that she felt that whatever he did was normal and quickly accepted the fact.

Tang San took a deep breath, soothed his mood, used thinking to numb his emotions, and continued:
"Elemental control is rare among thousand-year soul beasts. Even among ten-thousand-year soul beasts, although it is still rare, the number of soul beasts with this kind of soul skill has increased significantly."

"Rock Giant, Mountain Giant, Earth Spirit, Mudstone Elephant, Gargoyle..."
