Douluo Continent: The Heavenly Book Transforms into Mortals

Chapter 17 Let's set a small goal first (Please add to your favorites!!!)

That was an energetic rat.

Compared to ordinary rats, the Energetic Rat is much larger. This particular Energetic Rat, with two complete rings of patterns on its body and a history of two hundred years, is almost the same size as Su Wen!

The characteristics of the Spirit Rat are also quite ordinary, namely, it can store soul power, and its total amount of soul power is among the best of all soul beasts of the same cultivation level.

This characteristic is a perfect match for Old Jerry's sweet potato martial spirit.

Of course, the most important thing is that Su Wen is confident that he can kill this Spirit Rat.

Su Wen wouldn't have been confident with other hundred-year-old soul beasts, but the Spirit Rat was different.

Especially on the outskirts of the Soul Hunter Forest, you can engage in combat as freely as possible.

Su Wen summoned his martial spirit, and the pages of the book separated, folding into small swords that spun around his body, ready to be fired at any time to prevent the Yuanqi Rat from escaping.

Of course, seeing Su Wen and Old Jerry, a child and an old man respectively, the energetic mouse had no intention of running away.

One word: Do it!

Gripping his spear tightly, Su Wen charged forward.

"This kid doesn't have a weapon spirit, so he won't get any bonuses from using other weapons!" Old Jerry said with some concern.

However, he no longer needed to worry.

Although Su Wen's blow did not repel the Spirit Rat, it did put him to a standstill.

"That's amazing?" Old Jerry's eyes widened.

After becoming a Soul Master, can you become this powerful just by wielding a weapon?

As for the paper swords swirling and floating around Su Wen's body, Old Jerry ignored them.

After all, these paper swords didn't do anything in the clash just now.

Soul power circulated within Su Wen's body.

The human body has many meridians. Thanks to his own talent, Su Wen does not need to manually explore the location and direction of the meridians by circulating his soul power.

He is able to explore the flow of soul power through each meridian with maximum efficiency, and the speed and effect of flowing through a certain loop.

In addition to summarizing a complete cycle of internal energy as his internal cultivation method, Su Wen also explored some paths for the circulation of soul power. When combined with specific attacks, these paths can unleash even greater power, which can be superimposed on the power of simply strengthening oneself with soul power.

Soul power enhances physical strength, unleashing even greater power – this is the blessing of soul power.

Soul power flows within the meridians, mutually reinforcing the body's movements and erupting with the force of the Soul Master's attack—this is another layer of superposition.

In addition, Su Wen himself coordinates the power of his whole body, and basically every move he makes is to mobilize the power of his whole body as much as possible to unleash the strongest force.

With all these factors combined, the power that Su Wen unleashed was unmatched by ordinary Soul Masters.

Of course, a Soul Master's basic physical fitness is still crucial, and Su Wen has never neglected to focus on training in this area.

Holding an iron rod, Su Wen's battle with the Spirit Rat intensified.

"This kind of battle is so much fun!"

Su Wen discovered that he quite enjoyed this kind of close-quarters combat.

Unfortunately, his martial soul is a book-type martial soul, so he is destined not to continue down this path forever.

This is irrational.

The paper swords swirling around Su Wen's body kept stabbing at the Spirit Rat during the battle, leaving wounds on its body.

In close combat, coupled with the damage from the paper swords surrounding him, Su Wen clearly had the upper hand.

"this"

Watching Su Wen battle the Spirit Rat while simultaneously controlling more than a dozen small paper swords to attack the Spirit Rat, Old Jerry was already dumbfounded.

Isn't Xiaowen's martial spirit a book martial spirit?

Moreover, how did you manage to control so many paper swords at the same time?

Also, you are in close combat with a hundred-year-old soul beast. Aren't you afraid that if you make a mistake, the other party will find a weakness?

Su Wen became more and more excited as the battle raged on.

Such battles are truly exhilarating.

"My mental strength is much higher than that of an ordinary Soul Master."

After advancing to Soul Master, his Martial Soul developed new characteristics, and Su Wen also confirmed that his Martial Soul had talent in the area of ​​mental attributes.

That's exactly what happened.

As a transmigrator, he possessed strong mental power, further enhanced by his martial spirit. As his body developed, his mental power grew rapidly.

As the body develops and the soul power is cultivated, the soul master's spiritual power will also be enhanced in a certain way.

Su Wen transmigrated with powerful spiritual energy, which, with the support of his physical development and soul power cultivation, increased even more rapidly.

With his own deliberate training and constant, meticulous manipulation of numerous paper swords for cultivation, his mental strength improved rapidly.

The energetic mouse felt that the child opposite it was too strange.

He wanted to run away.

Unfortunately, Su Wen's paper swords, launched from a distance, always managed to hinder his escape.

"Grandpa, you must end his life yourself before you can absorb his soul ring."

The energetic rat was already on the verge of death from Su Wen's torment.

He wanted to commit suicide, but Su Wen happened to know exactly how the Spirit Rat committed suicide and used a paper sword to eliminate that possibility.

Old Jerry took the dagger from Su Wen and plunged it into the open chest of the Spirit Rat.

A yellow spirit ring slowly rose up.

"Grandpa, absorb it quickly," Su Wen reminded him.

Old Jerry took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement, and began to guide the spirit rings as Su Wen had instructed.

"My strength is already comparable to many Great Soul Masters, but it's still not enough."

While remaining vigilant, Su Wen was also reflecting on his own actions.

"The paper sword tactic is no longer effective after reaching the Soul King level. It is only useful for me in the early stages of battle. I should try to develop new tactics when I reach the Soul Venerable level."

Mental strength was the only way Su Wen could think of to temporarily gain an edge over others.

With this enhancement, the Great Soul Master stage will no longer need to worry about their own strength.

As for the Soul Master, he could consider turning to magic books; with his foundation, he wouldn't have to worry about lacking power.

"No matter what, I must improve my strength rapidly. I cannot neglect my soul power cultivation, nor can I neglect my combat power."

Su Wen was already two years older than Tang San, but due to the difference in their innate martial souls, he wasted more than two years and was much slower than Tang San in becoming a soul master.

However, by relying on his intellect and the study of theories, and by transforming knowledge into power, Su Wen quickly caught up with the gap and reached level 20 at the same time as Tang San.

"Tang Hao must be killed, and I must kill him myself, so my strength cannot be weaker than Tang San's!"

Even if you secretly kill Tang Hao, you still need to have the ability to withstand Tang San's retaliation after you get your revenge.

Therefore, we must not fall behind Tang San.

"It's not just that I can't fall behind, I'm already two years older than him."

Su Wen has no plans or actions to use the Spirit Hall to hunt down Tang San for the time being.

Leaving aside the sources of intelligence and the feasibility of achieving them, the very question of whether the objective can be achieved is itself a problem.

Did Bibi Dong want to kill Tang Hao?

Is Tang Hao truly at his last gasp?

If the original story can last for seventy, eighty, or ninety years, Tang Hao at this stage can definitely still unleash tremendous strength.

Revealing this information to the Spirit Hall would only lead to a protracted conflict. In other words, Tang Hao would be constantly on the run while the Spirit Hall relentlessly pursued him.

The already tense situation on the mainland could explode at any moment.

How can Su Wen develop peacefully?

Stability is the key to success.

The original storyline is Su Wen's greatest source of confidence.

"What if the original plot has been changed, and Tang San arrives at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well earlier than in the original story?"

Without any magical herbs, if Su Wen wanted to defy fate, he could only constantly think about his talent and work tirelessly towards it.

This is causing too much delay.

Before obtaining the immortal herb, let everything proceed according to the original plot.

"Let's set a small goal first: to catch up on the two-year gap in soul power cultivation!"

How come you're two years older than me and both reached level 20?

That won't do.

"Let's set the Soul King stage for now."

I want to become a Soul King two years ahead of Tang San!

This also means that Su Wen needs to become the Soul King before the Soul Master Competition.

In six years, Su Wen went from level 20 to level 50 in cultivation. He might have gone mad.

"Knowledge is power, so I need to find knowledge as soon as possible that can be quickly converted into increased soul power cultivation speed after practical application!"
