Douluo Dalu: Golden Spirit Tree

Chapter 26 Gift
After Lin Yi broke through, he did not immediately go to obtain a soul ring. According to Yu Xiaogang, a master of martial soul theory from ten thousand years ago, bottlenecks cannot prevent a soul master from improving his soul power. That is, without obtaining a soul ring, the soul master can still practice normally, and the extra soul power will be reflected after obtaining the soul ring.

To be honest, Lin Yi was quite surprised when he saw this statement, because if this statement was true, it would mean that this bottleneck only blocked the level, but the total amount of soul power could be continuously improved.

Doesn't that mean that if someone can endure loneliness, he can practice in seclusion until the end of time, and then obtain spirit rings and break through to the Titled Douluo in one go?

Therefore, Lin Yi was reserved about this statement and planned to try it himself.

There's nothing I can do, I just have the talent and can afford to delay it.

After Moon learned about Lin Yi's breakthrough, he wanted to take him to hunt for spirit rings immediately. However, after more than half a year on Seagod Island, Lin Yi already knew Moon's life experience - the teacher of Seagod ten thousand years ago, a master of martial spirit theory, the wise part of the golden iron triangle, a descendant of Yu Xiaogang's lineage, and the heir to the bloodline of the Holy Dragon of Light.

Now that he already knew about this relationship, Lin Yi naturally couldn't just say, "I doubt your ancestors," so he had to delay it for the time being, using the excuse that he was considering the choice of the third soul ring.

After spending a long time together, Moon En was completely reassured about Lin Yi. He did not doubt Lin Yi's excuses. He just told Lin Yi to take his time to choose and to ask him if he had any questions.

After Lin Yi had read most of the books in the library, soul guides were put on his agenda, and he had also started studying books related to souls.

More than half a year after entering Shrek Academy, Lin Yi finally decided to learn soul guides.

In the memories of the other world, the fastest way to learn a profession is to combine theory with practice. Lin Yi deeply agrees with this. Among the books in the library, those related to martial spirits are easier to learn by comparing them with his own body. As for those about soul beasts, he can only try to understand them according to what is said in the book, and the speed can only be described as slow as a turtle.

But when he went to ask Moon for advice, Moon kept praising him for his intelligence. Lin Yi couldn't help but compare it with the other world, and found that the people in this world probably had an extremely low level of education. They basically relied on rote learning, without any methods or techniques.

But in order to put soul guides into practice, various materials and rare metals are needed. He originally wanted to find his father Lin Qingxuan, but he didn't know where this seventh-level soul guide had been. He hadn't seen him for nearly half a month!
Lin Yi was full of resentment and planned to wait for Lin Qingxuan to come back and complain to his mother, even if it meant making Lin Qingxuan sleep on the sofa for seven days.

But Lin Qingxuan was not there, and he didn't want Lin Yi to go directly to the Soul Guidance Department to study, so Lin Yi decided to just force his way through!

For a genius like him, how could he not understand this basic book?
Two months passed, and Lin Yi had mastered the theories of first and second level soul mentors. At the same time, Lin Yi also celebrated his seventh birthday.

On his birthday, Lin Yi went to the library as usual and stayed there until dusk.

When he returned to Poseidon Pavilion, Lin Yi finally saw his father who had disappeared for nearly three months.

Also with them was the mother who was about to file a complaint.

Seeing Lin Yi, the couple went forward together. Ouyang Xi touched his son's head, his eyes full of pity. His darling had been staying in the library every day for the past six months. How could he bear it at such a young age!
Lin Qingxuan had a smile on his face and was about to speak when he was interrupted by Lin Yi.

"Mom, a grown man who leaves his wife and children and disappears for several months wouldn't do anything bad, right?"

While speaking, Lin Yi kept staring at Lin Qingxuan, and the meaning of his words was self-evident.

Ouyang Xi had a strange look on his face, and Lin Qingxuan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"You little brat, I originally prepared a gift for you, but seeing how you are, it seems you don't really need it. I'd better return it."

When Lin Yi heard this, his expression changed immediately. He took a few quick steps and stood in front of his father. "Of course the person I was talking about isn't my dearest father. My father is such a good person, how could he do such a thing!"

Lin Qingxuan looked at Lin Yi, who was smiling apologetically, and said with a half-smile, "It wasn't me?"

Shaking his head firmly, Lin Yi said seriously, "Of course not. Dad is a decent man, as bright as the wind and clear as the moon. He has always been the person Xiao Yi admires the most."

Even with Lin Qingxuan's state of mind, he couldn't stand being praised by his own son. He pretended to be disgusted and said, "Well, seeing how you look, I'll give you the gift."

After saying that, he took out a box from the storage soul guide ring and handed it to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi quickly took it, and his golden perception told him that the box exuded a strong aura of light.

After looking it over twice, he still couldn't recognize what kind of soul guide it was even after two months of studying the theory of soul guides, but he could still recognize that it was a soul guide of high quality.

Looking up at his father, Lin Yi felt a little excited. Even the box was such a high-quality soul guide, so how extraordinary must the things inside the box be!

As for the bad idea of ​​using a high-quality box to put a stone in it, Lin Yi believed that his father would not be so bored. If he really did that, Lin Yi guaranteed that his father would sleep on the sofa for at least three months!

With excitement, Lin Yi slowly opened the box.

The moment the box was opened, a murderous aura suddenly erupted, and Lin Yi was so frightened that he subconsciously threw the box away.

The box fell to the ground, and a knife fell with it.

Lin Qingxuan laughed out loud as he looked at Lin Yi who was frightened and terrified. If Lin Yi had not said that before, Lin Qingxuan would have reminded him, but it was Lin Yi's fault for not controlling his mouth. Today, as his father, he would teach this brat a lesson and let him know what it means to cause trouble with your mouth!

Ouyang Xi looked at her husband with some resentment, "You're such a grown man, and you're still arguing with your own son. You're really going backwards as you get older!"

Lin Qingxuan smiled and said, "Who made him say such irresponsible words? I am doing this for his own good."

Ouyang Xi rolled her eyes at her husband, too lazy to say anything else. She pulled her son over and comforted him softly, "My dear, let's not argue with him. He's such a grown-up, yet he's still so childish." Lin Qingxuan was not ashamed, but proud of it, with a smug look on his face.

Lin Yi gasped for breath and calmed himself down. It was not his fault that he was timid. It was really because he was enveloped in the familiar aura of the bright soul guide outside. Who knew that there was a deadly weapon inside.

That's right, although he had made a fool of himself just now due to carelessness, Lin Yi, who had calmed down, had already realized that the knife was probably a weapon, and not an ordinary weapon. The murderous aura all over the body required a high-quality soul guide with light attributes to suppress it.

If we change to an ordinary box or put it directly in the storage soul guide, I am afraid that it will not take long before the box and the storage soul guide will be directly damaged by this violent energy.

Rolling his eyes at his unscrupulous father, Lin Yi looked at the murderous knife with some curiosity.

Lin Qingxuan had already picked up the murderous knife and put it back into the box.

The vicious knife is not big, about half a foot long and only as thick as a finger. It is wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, with a sharp tip and a blade about half an inch wide. Just by looking at it from a distance, you can feel the sharpness of the knife.

The overall appearance is simple and dark, and there seems to be patterns engraved on it, exuding a faint sense of antiquity, but it also gives people a sense of melancholy when looking at it.

The feeling given is that the knife is a good one, but it is ominous.

Looking at the shape of the knife, Lin Yi thought for a moment and asked doubtfully, "Is this... a carving knife?"

The so-called carving knife is a must-have for soul engineers to make soul guides. It is used to carve core magic arrays. A good carving knife can enable soul engineers to get twice the result with half the effort when making soul guides and carving core magic arrays.

Lin Qingxuan looked at his son in surprise when he heard this, "You also know how to carve a knife?"

Rolling his eyes at his unscrupulous father again, Lin Yi said with a hint of disdain, "Of course I know. When someone was away, I had already learned all the theoretical knowledge required for a first- and second-level soul engineer. It's just that he was away, so I couldn't actually put it into practice. Otherwise, I would have become a true first-level soul engineer by now!"

Lin Qingxuan finally understood why Lin Yi tried to make things difficult for him as soon as he saw him. That's why!

After figuring it out, Lin Qingxuan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. "I didn't go out to play. I was out for so long just to bring this carving knife back to you, didn't I?"

Ouyang Xi also chimed in, "Knowing that you're going to learn soul guidance tools, your father wanted to prepare a better carving knife for you. However, although there are good carving knives, most of them are owned by someone else. Your father didn't want to just give you a makeshift one, so he's been sniffing around for information and even asked for help from his connections at the academy."

"Just recently, your father heard the news from Xingluo, so he rushed over. After many twists and turns, he finally got this carving knife."

Lin Yi's expression looked better, but he still expressed strong condemnation of someone's recent bad behavior.

However, Lin Yi was just a beginner in soul guidance, and his knowledge was still limited to theory. He really couldn't see what was so good about this carving knife.

Fortunately, Lin Qingxuan spoke up, "Xiaoyi, since you've already started learning about soul guides, do you know about the ranking knife?"

"A ranking knife?!"

Lin Yi couldn't help but exclaimed, of course he knew about the list engraving knife, but it was really boring to study the theory of soul guides. From time to time, Lin Yi would read some miscellaneous talks about soul guides to change his mind.

Lin Yi saw the information about the ranked carving knives in a miscellaneous book. The so-called ranked carving knives are carving knives that can be listed on the carving knife ranking list. The carving knife ranking list records the top 100 carving knives in the continent. Each of these carving knives has its own special effect and is basically in the hands of top soul masters. More than two-thirds of them are in the Sun-Moon Empire, and very few of them originally belonged to the Douluo Three Kingdoms.

But the power of the ranking knife is unquestionable, even a ninth-level soul engineer would be tempted by it.

Lin Yi really didn't expect that his father would spend so much money on him. After all, he hadn't even started learning soul guides.

The little resentment that had originally been in his heart suddenly vanished, and the strong fatherly love deeply moved Lin Yi's young heart.

But then, Lin Yi suddenly felt something was wrong. The preciousness of the ranking knife was unquestionable. Even a ninth-level soul engineer would be willing to pay a lot for it. His father was only a seventh-level soul engineer, and his family only owned a clothing store. Where would he get so much money to buy such a valuable item?

After asking the doubts in his heart, Lin Qingxuan's eyes suddenly showed pride, and the curve of his mouth could not be suppressed.

"Hahahaha", Lin Qingxuan finally couldn't help laughing, and it took a long time for him to calm down.

"I guess I got lucky."

Picking up a bargain? A ranking engraving knife can also be a bargain? Lin Yi was even more confused.

"Since you know about the ranking carving knives, do you know the most special one among them?"

"The most special one?" Lin Yi frowned in thought, and inadvertently saw the murderous aura on the knife again.

A murderous aura? As if thinking of something, Lin Yi asked in surprise, "Could it be that murderous knife?"

"Hahahaha," Lin Qingxuan laughed again, "Yes, it is the murderous knife - Soul Devourer!"
