Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is Valkyrie

"Hahaha, what the hell? You've never used whale glue before? Turns out the guy who went to buy whale glue with me over forty years ago was a demon slayer!"

The Fifth Offering Light Feather Douluo slapped his thigh and laughed.

Qianjun's face turned ashen.

She looked at her younger brother, who was exorcising demons, trying to find some comfort in him.

The demon slayer turned his head to look out the window again, whistling, his right leg shaking involuntarily.

"Alright, alright, Qianjun was just too excited and that's why he made a mistake."

"We need to start acquiring whale gelatin in the next few days, and it would be best to send people to the coastal cities. We also need to thoroughly test the full efficacy of whale gelatin."

Golden Crocodile Douluo ended the conversation that had left Thousand-Pound Douluo feeling awkward.

……

Sensing the commotion in the offering hall, Qian Daoliu shook his head helplessly.

"Little rascal, this whale gelatin is an aphrodisiac after all. You need to keep your mind calm when you take it."

Qian Daoliu used the Holy Fire of Angels to soften a piece of whale glue in Lin Huai.

A strange fragrance wafted out, very strong, but it only lingered near the whale glue.

After the temperature dropped, Lin Huai swallowed the piece of whale glue whole.

A constant flow of heat surged from his meridians and flowed into his limbs and bones.

As his body temperature continued to rise, Lin Huai felt as if he were in a high-temperature sauna.

"Guard your mind and circulate your soul power."

Qian Daoliu used his soul power to put Lin Huai into a wooden bucket filled with green medicine.

A few minutes later, Lin Huai opened his eyes.

Feeling his strengthened physique, he said, "Teacher, I haven't experienced any side effects from the whale gel. Please give me the other piece too!"

As Qian Daoliu melted the whale glue, he joked:

"Even if there are side effects from being immersed in special drugs right now, you're not fully developed yet. At most, this will only disturb your mind."

Lin Huai blushed.

I momentarily forgot that I'm still a 7-year-old child.

He took the second piece of whale glue and swallowed it, which was instantly refined.

After digesting it, Lin Huai circulated his soul power and casually swung his fists a few times.

"Teacher, the whale glue didn't change the speed of my soul power circulation, or maybe it had some effect, but it wasn't strong."

"But it has greatly improved my physique. I feel like I can kill a bull with one punch now."

Qian Daoliu released his soul power, carefully sensing the specific changes in Lin Huai.

"Hmm, it seems that whale glue has a significant talent-enhancing effect only on soul masters with low innate soul power."

"The first time you take it, the greatest improvement you'll experience; the second time, the improvement won't even be half of what it was the first time."

Qian Daoliu withdrew his soul power and stated the results of his perception.

"There is no need to take the third one. One or two hundred years will not have much impact on a thousand-year soul ring."

With your current physique, obtaining a spirit ring up to 1200 years old is no problem at all.

Qian Daoliu walked outside the door: "Little rascal, what are your thoughts on the first spirit ring?"

Lin Huai responded while changing his clothes.

"I hope to hunt down a Green Steel Mantis or a Golden Feather Eagle, but these two types of spirit beasts mainly appear in Sunset Forest."

Actually, as long as the burst speed is fast and the attack and defense are decent, that's fine.

"Then let's go to Sunset Forest."

After Qian Daoliu finished speaking, he and Lin Huai transformed into a golden light and disappeared from the cultivation room.

A day has passed.

Qian Daoliu appeared above Sunset Forest with Lin Huai, and his powerful spiritual energy spread out instantly.

After a while.

Qian Daoliu said, "Found it, it perfectly meets your requirements."

Qian Daoliu used his soul power to support Lin Huai and flew towards a cliff.

Lin Huai suddenly saw a giant eagle, over two meters tall and entirely golden, preening its feathers on the rock wall.

"The Golden-Feathered Eagle of 1200 Years!"

Lin Huai asked in surprise.

Qian Daoliu's eyes were filled with satisfaction.

"It seems you've learned a lot during your year in the library; you can even recognize mutated soul beasts and their corresponding ages at a glance."

Qian Daoliu released a large hand of soul power and grabbed the Golden Feather Eagle.

Lin Huai watched Qian Daoliu's smooth movements.

Thinking of Tang San, who became Yu Xiaogang's apprentice, he even had to do his own work for his first spirit ring.

He thought to himself, "It's so great to have a powerful teacher; acquiring spirit rings is so easy."

"Little rascal, go ahead and do it."

Qian Daoliu landed with Lin Huai and the Instant Shadow Golden Feather Eagle.

"Okay, teacher."

Lin Huai circulated his soul power, and a golden arm guard and a hiltless longsword appeared on his right hand.

puff-

The long sword cleanly severed the eagle's head.

A short while later.

A purple spirit ring appeared on the headless corpse of the Shadow Golden Feather Eagle.

Lin Huai looked at the spirit ring in front of him, took a deep breath, hoping it would bring a glimmer of hope!

He sat cross-legged on the ground and channeled his soul power to draw the soul ring over.

A surge of violent soul power instantly flooded into Lin Huai's meridians.

However, when encountering a physique enhanced by two pieces of ten-thousand-year-old whale glue, the raging soul power quickly subsided.

Half an hour later, the purple spirit ring gradually merged into Lin Huai's body.

Just as he was about to open his eyes.

Lin Huai's consciousness went blank for a moment.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a figure with long, crimson hair and a slender yet not thin build.

"Marianne!"

Lin Huai was certain that the Marlenia standing before him was a self-aware, real Marlenia.

Marlenia's sexy, slightly husky voice rang out.

"I am deeply sorry to have brought you this crimson decay, you who have faded."

"I will pass on to you the sword technique that my teacher used to help me suppress the crimson corruption through my consciousness."

While it cannot solve the fundamental problem, it will allow you to remain unaffected by the power of corruption when cultivating and using your domain. (The game's protagonist is referred to as the "Faded One")

They sensed that Lin Huai was about to regain consciousness.

Marlenia quickly said:

"If you don't have enough time, practice more; this can also extend your lifespan."

I hope you live to see me again. I will be praying for you.

"No, I..."

Before Lin Huai could ask a question, everything went black again, and his consciousness took control of his body.

Lin Huai opened his eyes and sighed.

I still have questions I want to ask.

"Little rascal, is it that strange power acting up again?"

Seeing Lin Huai sigh, Qian Daoliu hurriedly released his soul power to sense his physical condition.

Lin Huai realized Qian Daoliu's concerns.

"No, teacher."

"After I absorbed the soul ring, a sword technique suddenly appeared in my mind. This sword technique seems to be able to suppress the corrupting power in my body, so that it won't stimulate the corrupting power when I cultivate normally."

Unfortunately, corruption cannot be completely eradicated; it can only prolong life by a few years.

Qian Daoliu's face lit up with joy.

"Now that we've found a way to suppress the absorption of the first spirit ring, perhaps we can find other ways to absorb other spirit rings in the future."

"I was worried that after you absorbed the spirit ring, your remaining life force wouldn't be enough to support your cultivation until you obtained the second spirit ring, but now it's enough for you to break through to the Spirit Master level."

Qian Daoliu looked at the erosion marks on Lin Huai's right hand that had spread to his upper arm.

We can't help but feel fortunate to have found a way to suppress scarlet putrefaction.

It's a kind of swordsmanship that I've also come to understand.

Lin Huai composed himself and explained the effects of the soul skill to Qian Daoliu.

"My soul power is now at level 14, and it won't be long before I reach level 15."

"The first soul skill is called 'Shadow Strike'."

"The effect is to increase the speed of oneself and one's martial soul by 100% and the attack power by 50%, lasting for ten minutes."

Qian Daoliu commented:

"As expected of a mutated soul beast and a super-limited absorption soul ring, your current level shows that whale glue also has some effect."

The soul skill is very powerful; most soul masters' fourth soul rings cannot achieve this effect.

As for the soul power consumption, there's no need to worry about that. The duration will gradually increase as you cultivate.

Lin Huai's expression brightened, and he added further explanation.

"Teacher, this soul skill is more than that."

"There's also an additional effect: if you consume extra soul power, you can also gain a speed boost."

It consumes up to three times the soul power to gain a 200% speed boost!

Qian Daoliu was quite surprised when he heard about the effect.

"Such a terrifying effect would make even an agility-based Soul Saint envious. This completely defies the rules of Soul Ring effects."

Think for a moment.

"This should be your martial soul, which had a positive catalytic effect during absorption."

Qian Daoliu suddenly sensed that someone was looking in his direction.

"Who's there? Show yourself!"
