Douluo's Soul Power increases by two levels every year

Chapter 6 The Control of Fate, External Soul Bone

Turtle-type spirit beasts are generally slow, and by the time they spot an enemy, most of them are already unable to escape. The same is true for the Minotaur Lava Turtle. When it spotted Han Dang and his companions, it knew it couldn't avoid them and could only pretend to be asleep to deceive Han Dang.

As it turned out, it succeeded; Han Dang was indeed fooled. But unfortunately, Han Dang's strength far exceeded its expectations. Even without using his martial soul and soul skills, Han Dang was still beyond its ability to resist.

Under the power of Han Dang's punch, the Minotaur Lava Turtle could only choose to passively defend.

"boom!"

The Minotaur Lava Turtle's defense was indeed astonishing. Although Han Dang did not use any soul skills in this punch, and did not even go all out, Han Dang was, after all, a Soul Master. With one punch, he failed to break through the Minotaur Lava Turtle's triple flame shield, stopping at the last flame shield, his old strength gone.

Han Dang's face turned somewhat ugly, feeling utterly humiliated. Even with his age, Han Dang blushed almost imperceptibly.

"court death!"

Enraged, Han Dang roared, spun around in the air, and with the help of his soul power, threw another punch. This time, he gave it his all. Even a Soul Master of the offensive type would not have fared well with this punch!

"roar!!!"

To the three's surprise, this time, perhaps knowing it couldn't stop it, the Minotaur Lava Turtle didn't choose to defend. Instead, it roared, its massive head raised high, and dark red light spots gathered between its horns. These light spots coalesced into a fist-sized ball of light, which emitted terrifying energy fluctuations!

The family of three were all shocked. No one had expected that the Minotaur Lava Turtle, a turtle-type soul beast, would possess such powerful attack capabilities!

If the master were here, he would be even more shocked—this four-hundred-year-old soul beast actually possesses two soul skills!

"Crimson Flame! Second Soul Skill! Possessed Flame!"

Zhang Lingling reacted extremely quickly. Her Crimson Flame Martial Soul appeared, and her second yellow hundred-year soul ring lit up. A cluster of bright flames shot towards Han Dang. In an instant, a loud "Hero" was heard, and Han Dang's whole body burst into flames. However, Han Dang did not show any signs of pain. Instead, his aura became even stronger, like a Flame Martial War God!

This is Zhang Lingling's second soul skill, which can increase the soul power and strength of a soul master possessed by Crimson Flame by 50%, and also add a fire attack effect.

"Mystic Armor Shield!"

"roar!"

Han Dang reacted quickly, immediately summoning his martial spirit. The jet-black Xuanjia Shield appeared in front of Han Dang before the Minotaur Lava Turtle could make its move.

"boom!"

Amidst the roar of the Minotaur Lava Turtle, a laser beam shot out from the dark red orb between its horns, slamming into the Xuanjia Shield!

The explosive energy was released, and the deafening bombardment made Han Feng's ears ring, and even Han Dang's expression changed!

This move by the Minotaur Lava Turtle is comparable to the full-force attack of a level 20+ Soul Master!

It's a turtle-type spirit beast with amazing defense!

If the Minotaur Lava Turtle could also maintain its considerable speed, it would definitely be comparable to a top-tier soul beast like the Titan Giant Ape!

However, for Han Dang, that was all. The Minotaur Lava Turtle did surprise him, but he was a Soul Master, and summoning his Martial Soul was already giving it a lot of face. He didn't even use his Soul Skill. If Zhang Lingling hadn't been so concerned that she lost her composure and didn't have the Possession Flame, Han Dang would still have been able to easily block the attack with just the Xuanjia Shield!

"Disperse!"

Han Dang simply pushed the Xuanjia Shield forward, and the dark red laser light melted away like snow in spring!

The Minotaur Lava Turtle was stunned. With its simple intelligence, it could not understand what was happening before it and did not know what to do for a moment.

Han Dang didn't give it a chance. To prevent it from causing any more trouble, he flashed to the side of the Minotaur Lava Turtle. With the blessing of the Possessed Flame, Han Dang was no weaker than a power-attack type Soul Master of the same level. With a simple punch, the Minotaur Lava Turtle foamed at the mouth and fainted.

At this moment, the Minotaur Lava Turtle had exhausted its soul power. Han Dang dragged it in front of Han Feng, smiled smugly at Han Feng, and said:

"Go absorb your first spirit ring!"

Han Feng glanced at Zhang Lingling, then at Han Dang, nodded vigorously, pulled out the dagger from his pocket, and walked towards the unconscious Minotaur Lava Turtle with excitement!

My first spirit ring! I wonder what my first spirit ring will be like!?

"puff!"

Without hesitation, Han Feng plunged his dagger into the Minotaur Lava Turtle's brow. A bright yellow spirit ring slowly rose from the turtle's body. Han Feng took a deep breath and summoned the Blazing Shield, allowing the spirit ring to envelop his martial spirit.

Hold your breath and concentrate!

Han Dang quickly reminded him, and Han Feng dared not be careless. He immediately closed his eyes and focused his mind into his martial soul. In an instant, he felt a scalding heat flow out from the Blazing Shield and sweep over his entire body. Han Feng felt as if his whole body was being cut by knives and roasted by fire. However, Han Feng had expected this, so he had to grit his teeth and persevere, using his soul power to resist!

Fortunately, Han Feng's soul power was level twelve, which was slightly stronger than that of ordinary people. After about half an hour, the feeling dissipated.

Han Feng swore that this half hour was absolutely the most resilient half hour he had ever endured in his twenty-six years of life, both past and present!

"Roar! Roar roar roar!"

But after the heat dissipated, a fierce aura reappeared, and Han Feng heard roars. For a moment, he felt his mind waver and was terrified!

Han Feng seemed to see bull-headed lava turtles roaring at him, their beastly aura making it hard for him to breathe!

Fortunately, Han Feng's mental strength was quite strong. In addition, he had seen his father beat the Minotaur like a son, so he was not afraid of the Minotaur. Therefore, although Han Feng did not know what was going on, his strong will to survive allowed him to persevere.

Meanwhile, Zhang Lingling, looking worried and slightly reproachful, questioned Han Dang, "It's been over half an hour, why hasn't Feng'er woken up yet?! I told you not to wait four hundred years. If anything happens to my Feng'er, you might as well sleep on the floor from now on!"

Han Dang chuckled twice, feeling somewhat worried. Although the Minotaur Lava Turtle was a four-hundred-year-old soul beast, it should have finished absorbing the energy in half an hour. It shouldn't have taken this long.

"Don't worry, honey! Feng'er's complexion is gradually improving, it seems we're nearing the end of the process, and she'll wake up soon!"

"snort!"

Zhang Lingling gave a soft snort, looking at Han Feng with a worried expression, completely ignoring Han Dang.

"call--"

After another incense stick's time, Han Feng finally woke up, let out a long breath, and looked somewhat strange.

"Feng'er! Are you alright!? Is anything bothering you!?"

As soon as Han Feng woke up, Zhang Lingling hugged him tightly, her fair face full of worry.

Han Feng smiled, playfully struck a bodybuilding pose, and said with a grin, "Mom, don't worry, I'm pretty tough now!"

"What is the first soul skill!?" Compared to Zhang Lingling, Han Dang was more concerned about Han Feng's first soul skill.

Zhang Lingling glared at him reproachfully, but Han Feng, as if he had been waiting for this, said, "Ha! Dad, you've come to the right person! My first soul skill is called Life Control!"

As he spoke, Han Feng summoned the Blazing Shield. A bright yellow soul ring rose up, and with a low shout from Han Feng, the yellow soul ring shone brightly. Han Feng was enveloped in flames, and a fiery red shield of fire stood in front of him, indestructible!

"First Soul Skill, Life Defense! Increases soul power and defense by 60%, and provides absolute defense against the first instance of damage!"

"Of course... it's relative. Attacks from Soul Masters and Great Soul Masters can be absolutely defended against, while Soul Venerables only have a 75% chance of absolute defense... Soul Sect masters have a 50% chance... and at the Soul Emperor level, it's practically non-existent... hehe..."

Upon hearing this, Han Dang's eyes flashed with a sharp light!

A 60% increase in soul power and defense is already top-tier for a first soul ring. Add to that the ability to absolutely defend against the first instance of damage, and it's practically a god-tier skill! If used well, you can pull off amazing plays even when you're low on health!

Moreover, Han Dang believed that his son would definitely break through to Soul Douluo and even Title Douluo. According to Han Feng, when Han Feng broke through to Soul Emperor and even Soul Saint, wouldn't his first Soul Skill be Absolute Defense?

"besides..."

As if Han Feng felt that Han Dang and Zhang Lingling's surprise wasn't enough, Han Feng smiled mysteriously, grabbed her face with his right hand, and said in a deliberately deep voice, "Etherealization!"
