The Martial Soul Skeleton, in Douluo Continent's Bone-Changing Susanoo

Chapter 3 Ossification Susanoo

Susanoo, simply put, is a kind of divine power.

Initially, it is only in the form of ribs and arms. As the user's ability increases, Susanoo will continuously change its form until it becomes a complete form with a size and power comparable to Gundam.

Touching the dark purple ribs that protected his entire body, Xia Liang suddenly realized why the scene of the ribs protecting his body seemed so familiar; he had seen it in Naruto.

At this moment, protected by the dark purple ribs, he looked exactly like Sasuke in his initial Susanoo form.

It's a pity. He only has a skeletal martial spirit similar to Susanoo, but no special eyes or eye techniques to match it.

"Oh, right. I can see those ghostly flames."

Xia Liang poured his only level 5 soul power into his Rib Skull Martial Soul, and then carefully observed the surrounding environment.

Gradually, the noise echoed in his ears.

Suddenly, a faint, ethereal blackish-purple ghost fire could be clearly seen in the deep eyes; this was the simplified form of a ghost.

Or perhaps, they are the spirits of the dead.

It was only after his martial soul awakened that Xia Liang realized that his ability to possess the bloodline of the skeleton martial soul and awaken the undead attribute skeleton martial soul might be related to his having died once.

In other words, he is actually a living dead, just like the original Ghost Douluo.

Because he died once on Earth, he was transported to the Douluo Continent and became a ghost before awakening his martial soul bloodline.

The reason you can see the spirits of the dead is because you are a ghost yourself.

"It's a pity that I can only see the dead and can't interact with them."

With a sigh of dejection, Xia Liang retracted the dark purple ribs that had been protecting his entire body into his own, and the wandering spirits disappeared.

My current undead attribute is too weak; the undead I see are just a ball of will-o'-the-wisps, not what they looked like in life.

Cultivating a martial spirit can enhance the abilities associated with that martial spirit.

In other words, the undead attribute can become stronger as the Skeleton Martial Soul grows.

Perhaps in the future, when I cultivate my necromancy to its peak, I may become the god of death who governs the undead and controls life and death.

Thinking about such a future, Xia Liang couldn't help but feel excited.

He didn't think he was particularly smart, but he was familiar with the original plot and setting, so his vision was definitely broader than that of the natives of Douluo Continent.

With the help of various opportunities mentioned in the original work, it is not a pipe dream to become a god with innate level 5 soul power.

However, these are later stories.

After setting the goal of becoming a god, one should first cultivate one's martial soul and soul power in a down-to-earth manner, so that the skeleton martial soul, which is only in the form of ribs, can grow into its complete form.

Xia Liang knew some things about cultivating martial spirits from the original work.

Cultivating a martial spirit is essentially about enhancing the original energy of the martial spirit.

Whether it's injecting soul power into a martial soul or absorbing soul ring energy, these are all external energies that enhance the martial soul's original energy, making the martial soul itself stronger.

However, injecting soul power into a martial soul only temporarily strengthens the martial soul.

Absorbing the energy of a spirit ring permanently enhances the essence of a martial soul, which is why absorbing a spirit ring can change the appearance of a martial soul.

In addition, Xia Liang also learned about the existence of soul bones from the original work.

When a soul beast generates a soul ring, there is a chance that it will drop a soul bone.

Strength and defense-type soul beasts have a higher probability of dropping arm bones.

Speed-type spirit beasts have a higher probability of dropping leg bones.

Head soul bones are more likely to drop from spirit-type or highly intelligent soul beasts.

As Xia Liang recalled the original description of the soul bone, something suddenly occurred to him.

In a broad sense, to grow a skeleton martial spirit that currently only has ribs into a complete skeleton, you only need to add two arm bones, two leg bones, and a skull bone.

And aren't these bone parts exactly the same as the soul bones produced by soul beasts?

A skeleton martial spirit that only has the shape of ribs is equivalent to a torso bone.

Those two arm bones are the left and right arm bones produced by the soul beast, while the skull bone is the head soul bone produced by the soul beast.

Although we couldn't glean anything of value from the connection between the Skeleton Martial Soul and the Soul Bone, we still gained something.

At least, Xia Liang felt that he had figured out the direction for obtaining the Soul Rings of the Skeleton Martial Soul.

For example, if you want a skeleton martial soul that only has ribs to grow two arm bones, you can absorb the spirit rings produced by power and defense-type spirit beasts, because they have a higher probability of producing arm bones, and you can replenish what you eat.

The first soul ring's soul skill allows the skeleton martial soul to grow a complete left arm bone.

The second soul ring's soul skill allows the skeleton martial soul to grow a complete right arm bone.

The third soul ring's soul skill ultimately allowed the skeleton martial soul to grow a head.

With the addition of the first three Soul Ring skills, the Skeleton Martial Soul has become a half-skeletal form with a head, hands, and ribs.

At this moment, the fourth soul ring's soul skill wrapped a fleshy, vine-like garment around the half-skeletal form, transforming it into a half-human form.

The fifth soul ring's soul skill allows the half-human skeleton martial soul to don armor formed from the power of a certain soul beast.

The sixth soul ring's soul skill allows the skeleton martial soul in its half-human form to grow legs.

It wasn't until the seventh soul ring's soul skill, the True Form of the Martial Soul, that the Skeleton Martial Soul could enter its complete form.

The original work mentions the Power Clan, whose Soul Masters' Soul Rings skills are all based on stacked Strength attributes.

Based on this, each of the Soul Ring skills of the Skeleton Martial Soul is a stacked form.

If one cultivates according to this plan and achieves the expected results, then the Skeleton Martial Soul, after the forms of the first seven Soul Skills are superimposed, will truly become a Douluo version of Susanoo.

Xia Liang remembered that in the original novel, Bone Douluo had a move called Bone Transformation Divine Dragon.

When one's own skeletal spirit transforms into Susanoo, it is called Bone-Transformed Susanoo.

The next day, in the morning.

Guowan Village, the old village chief's house.

This is a wooden house that looks a bit dilapidated.

The aroma of cooking wafted slowly out of the window from the stove in the wooden house.

Much later.

Xia Liang's slightly childish voice rang out from inside the house, "Grandpa Village Chief, breakfast is ready."

The old village chief came out of the house upon hearing the noise.

The breakfast on the table wasn't very lavish; it was just plain porridge with pickled vegetables and scrambled eggs.

In the Douluo Continent, there is absolutely no way to eat pickled mustard greens with scrambled eggs.

The person who can make this dish is naturally Xia Liang, who came from Earth.

When Xia Liang was eating and drinking at Old Jack's house in Holy Soul Village, he had pickled some vegetables. Now that he's at the old village chief's house in Pot and Bowl Village, he's brought some with him.

Wearing the Douluo Continent costume, Xia Liang doesn't possess the same martial arts skills as Tang San, but he is an excellent cook with a wealth of cooking experience.

Let alone pickled mustard tubers.

As long as he can find the raw materials, he can mix most of the seasonings on Blue Star.

At the old-fashioned dining table.

The old village chief and Xia Liang were having breakfast.

"Ah Liang, do you know what a Soul Master is?" the old village chief asked with a smile.

After swallowing a mouthful of congee, Xia Liang nodded, then shook his head, feigning ignorance, and asked, "When I was in Notting City before, I saw people fighting in the street. I heard they were Soul Masters. Besides their Martial Souls, they all had a white circle around their bodies. Grandpa Village Chief, what exactly is that?"
