Douluo Continent: A Man of Unparalleled Talent and Heaven-Defying Comprehension

Chapter 151 Unparalleled Sword Qi!

Five days later.

Star Valley.

Su Yu and his apprentice arrived.

"Xiao Feng, we've arrived. Stop learning for now. Be prepared at all times while hunting soul beasts to prevent being attacked by suddenly appearing soul beasts."

Bai Feng put away the thick book of first-level soul guidance theory and notes that Su Yu had given him.

Although he had already killed the evil spirit master who slaughtered his village, it seemed that this experience, coupled with the influence of his martial spirit, made Bai Feng have an obsession with killing evil spirit masters.

To deal with evil spirit masters, strong strength is essential.

After hearing Su Yu's description of the battle armor, he became even more enthusiastic about researching soul tools, and at the same time, he was changing the ideas he had formed a few years ago under the influence of the village chief's stories.

The abilities of a Soul Master are very important.

However, the abilities of Soul Masters should not be underestimated.

The teacher said that Soul Masters are the foundation of everything. Battle Armor, as the most successful crystallization on the path of fusion between Soul Masters and Soul Masters, is also based on Soul Masters.

The ultimate path lies in mastering strong Soul Master skills, further enhanced by Soul Tools.

As for the fact that both of them require a lot of energy to learn and practice?

My teacher said that I have more than enough talent, so I should have it all!

"The star power in this Star Valley is very dense."

As soon as Su Yu entered Star Valley, he felt a strong stellar power.

"Xiao Feng, taking advantage of the star power here, I'll teach you some simple applications."

Since martial souls are born with the ability to control the power of stars, they should be developed properly.

Never waste a soul ring slot on a move that you can develop yourself.

For example, the entanglement and parasitism of Blue Silver Grass are the instincts of plants. While it is easy to obtain soul skills with these abilities, it undoubtedly wastes the soul ring slot.

Even a proactive enhancement-type soul skill is better than the first soul skill being Blue Silver Entanglement.

Under Su Yu's guidance, Bai Feng began to try to sense the power of the stars through his martial soul. The concentration of star power in the valley was immense; Bai Feng clearly sensed this power on his third attempt.

The next day, under Su Yu's guidance, Bai Feng completed a simple manipulation of the power of the stars.

On the third day, Bai Feng began to use the power of the stars to circulate his cultivation technique within his body. As the technique progressed, the partially refined power of the stars tempered every part of his body.

On the fourth day, Bai Feng practiced circulating the power of stars through his meridians in a manner similar to a martial arts technique, and then unleashed the Starlight Shield.

Starlight Shield, developed by Su Yu under the unified theory of cultivation techniques, simplifies self-created soul skills, making them easier for beginners to learn.

"Starlight Shield is just the simplest soul martial skill that condenses the power of stars to form a shield. Its defensive ability is barely enough to be effective in battles between Great Soul Masters and below. Your current level of mastery is still quite shallow, and its effect is only about half that of a hundred-year soul skill. The casting speed is also too slow. You still need to practice."

Starlight Shield is Su Yu's disassembly of Star Guardian. It only contains a simple operation of condensing star power into a shield. The protective strength is not great. In battles at the level of Great Soul Masters, although it is not as good as the soul skills of a hundred-year soul ring, it still has a considerable effect in battle.

If he continues to cultivate and becomes more proficient in using this soul martial skill, and his casting speed reaches the speed of a normal soul skill, then this will become an extra half soul skill for Bai Feng!

Moreover, this is just a relatively basic move.

Later, as he became more proficient in using soul power and stellar power, he tried to enrich and improve it, making this soul martial skill even more powerful.

For example, Su Yu's Star Guardian is a soul skill that is comparable to a ten-thousand-year soul ring skill.

Bai Feng was able to barely learn to use the Star Shield in a day, which already showed that his martial soul had a very high affinity for the power of stars.

However, the slow release speed is also its biggest drawback.

Although I've gotten the basics down, it hasn't been very effective yet.

"Starlight Shield is a soul martial skill that I simplified to the maximum extent to streamline the path of soul power circulation in the meridians. To improve the effect of this soul martial skill, one is to increase proficiency and speed up the casting, and the other is to learn the magic array. When I can inscribe runes in the void, I can transform the soul martial skill into a rune soul skill."

As Su Yu introduced the scene, Bai Feng felt as if he had stepped into a completely new world.

His previous understanding of Soul Masters was limited to Soul Masters, Soul Masters, and Soul Guidance Devices.

I've never heard of any soul martial arts or rune soul skills. The only soul skills I've heard of are soul ring skills; I've never even heard of a self-created soul skill.

Under Su Yu's tutelage, he is rapidly gaining knowledge and has witnessed many of the most cutting-edge techniques in Soul Master cultivation.

"Xiao Feng, stop practicing for now. You'll have plenty of time to practice once we get back to Mingdu. Your spirit ring has arrived."

Su Yu's mental energy has found a suitable target.

It is ten meters long and three meters tall. It has a fierce appearance and gives people a sharp feeling. The spikes on its back are like sharp swords, with a sword light that is like blue-purple starlight.

The Swordscale Dragon is a variant of the Earth Dragon, with scales on its back resembling sharp swords, giving it excellent defensive and offensive capabilities.

The Celestial Sword Scale Dragon is a rare individual that mutated from the Sword Scale Dragon and developed the Star attribute.

If Xuan Ziwen hadn't provided information that the Heavenly Star Sword Scale Dragon existed here, Su Yu wouldn't have made it Bai Feng's first soul ring target.

This is much rarer than his first soul ring, the Star Spirit Grass.

While it's not true that the rarer the species, the more powerful it is, this Heavenly Star Sword Scale Dragon is indeed very suitable for Bai Feng.

Of course, Su Yu's Star Spirit Grass was also extremely suitable for his first soul ring.

"This Celestial Star Sword Scale Dragon is not something you can handle. Let me handle it."

Bai Feng was intelligent from a young age, and his village chief grandfather would occasionally teach him some fighting techniques. Although he was playful, Bai Feng would occasionally practice when it came to the fighting techniques of Soul Masters.

After awakening his martial soul, his talent in combat also became outstanding.

However, without obtaining his first spirit ring, he was still no match for the hundred-year-old Heavenly Star Sword Scale Dragon.

Although the Heavenly Star Sword Scale Dragon is rarer than the Star Spirit Grass, it is not much better in quality than the Star Spirit Grass, but that is still in comparison to the Star Spirit Grass.

Star Spirit Grass possesses both star and life attributes, both of which are extremely rare. It doesn't focus on combat, and its combat power isn't particularly high, but it is undeniably among the top-tier in terms of quality.

The Celestial Sword Scale Dragon is also among the top-tier dragons.

The Heavenly Star Sword Scale Dragon that Su Yu and his group found had a cultivation level of over four hundred years, nearly five hundred years. Even a Soul Venerable wouldn't dare to guarantee its strength, so how could Su Yu possibly leave it to Bai Feng to handle?

"It's slightly beyond that so-called maximum lifespan."

But it's not a big problem.

Su Yu didn't even frown.

It's only been nearly five hundred years.

That limit is just a statistical figure, and statistical figures mean that there are highs and lows. Bai Feng's Star Soul Sword is a top-tier martial soul, so its ability to withstand the test is stronger.

Soul rings exert pressure on the physical body; this is a result of the martial soul bearing a certain amount of pressure.

When a Soul Master absorbs a Soul Ring, the majority of the pressure is borne by the Martial Soul, with only a very small portion of the pressure being reflected back to the Soul Master's physical body.

The greatest impact on a Soul Master actually comes at the moment when the Soul Ring's power surges into their meridians.

This tests the Soul Master's physique, but more accurately, it tests the strength of their meridians.

Those who can cultivate their soul power to the corresponding level must already have sufficient meridian strength.

This is why most support-type Soul Masters, despite having weaker physiques, are no less capable than typical attack-type Soul Masters in absorbing Soul Rings.

When the limit is exceeded and the pressure caused by absorbing more than one's level is exceeded, the pressure is basically borne by the Soul Master's own body, which is the difficulty of absorbing more than one's level.

The more you go over the limit, the more your body will have to bear.

If the maximum lifespan is four hundred years, then if you want to absorb an eight-hundred-year-old soul ring, you have to train your physique to the same level as your martial soul!

Of course, this refers to the same level of ability to withstand external soul power, not absolute strength. However, physical constitution is strongly related to this ability to withstand it, so physical constitution is generally used to refer to the ability to withstand soul rings.

Bai Feng's martial soul is of higher quality and provides greater feedback to himself; his body should be able to withstand the initial impact of soul power.

In addition, Su Yu had previously explored techniques for absorbing spirit rings, such as the assistance of partially refining the power of stars and the method of self-suggestion, to minimize the influence of will on the spirit power within the spirit ring, thereby reducing the pressure.

A ten-thousand-year-old spirit ring will contain a portion of the spirit beast's remnant soul from its previous life. During the absorption process, it will cause a soul shock to the spirit master's spirit. Although spirit rings less than ten thousand years old do not have this, spirit rings are formed from the spirit beast itself and contain some of the spirit beast's own will, which will hinder the spirit master from refining the spirit ring.

The Heavenly Star Sword Scale Dragon, which is nearly 500 years old, is ten meters long and three meters tall, yet it was no match for Su Yu.

He casually unleashed a torrent of sword energy, which swept him away, severely injuring him.

"Xiao Feng, go."

With a casual wave of his hand, Su Yu unleashed a torrent of sword energy, leaving Bai Feng speechless.

So strong!

Is the teacher really that amazing?

While Bai Feng was still in shock, he heard his teacher's words and immediately summoned his martial spirit.

The power of the stars and the power of the soul merged into the martial soul, and he stepped forward to slash at the throat of the Heavenly Star Sword Scale Dragon.

Su Yu's mental power firmly suppressed the Heavenly Star Sword Scale Dragon, rendering it completely unable to move even during its final desperate counterattack.

A bright yellow halo slowly condensed from the corpse of the Celestial Sword Scale Dragon.

Su Yu's eyes flickered, as if he sensed something, and he scanned the corpse of the Heavenly Star Sword Scale Dragon with his mental energy.

"This... the condensation of a soul bone?"

It was a very mysterious fluctuation. Su Yu was only able to sense this fluctuation because of the relationship between the two runes of life and death and because he had experienced the rules.

Electrolux confirmed Su Yu's guess.

"Teacher, this time I want to try to refine this unformed soul bone for Xiaofeng."

The condensation of the soul bone was just the beginning; it didn't even complete one-tenth of the entire process before the next phase ended.

But before the energy dissipated, Su Yu successfully captured it.

"Xiao Feng, be careful when you absorb the soul ring later. I will help you refine the corpse of the Heavenly Star Sword Scale Dragon into your soul ring in a form similar to a soul bone."

Bai Feng seemed a bit confused, but he still remembered Su Yu's words.

He sat cross-legged and began absorbing the spirit rings.

Su Yu then used his mental power to draw out that energy and began refining it according to Electrolux's instructions.

It's actually about awakening one's spirituality.

After awakening, Su Yu purified and compressed the energy again, guiding it with runes to merge into Bai Feng's body.

"How far Xiaofeng can develop this energy in the future, and what kind of weapons he can use it to forge, is entirely up to him."

Su Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.

He could inscribe runes on this energy and solidify its form, but that might not align with Bai Feng's ideas.

Instead, it was preserved as malleable and integrated into the White Wind Soul Ring.

From now on, this energy will be equivalent to a rare metal. Bai Feng can shape it and inscribe runes on it using the methods of making soul tools, continuously refining it.

It can even serve as an additional component of his future battle armor.

Since the process of nurturing the soul bone from the corpse of the Heavenly Star Sword Scale Dragon is only one-tenth complete, and the soul skill has not yet been generated, perhaps in the future, with the development of this energy, a soul skill can be obtained.

Su Yu marveled at his disciple's good fortune.

Logically speaking, this soul bone should never have been able to be nurtured, since the Heavenly Star Sword Scale Dragon's cultivation level was too low.

However, Su Yu happened to be present and noticed that only one-tenth of the energy had been condensed.

It was all just luck.

Bai Feng's process of refining the soul ring was thrilling but ultimately safe.

After all, he had just awakened his martial soul, and even though the Star Soul Sword gave him a high response, it was still difficult for him to withstand the pressure beyond his level.

However, with the help of Su Yu's vitality, he still managed to absorb the spirit ring.

"How's the soul skill?"

Bai Feng closed his eyes and sensed it for a moment.

Around his body was a bright yellow spirit ring, within which were numerous patterns shimmering with a silvery-white light.

He opened his eyes and said with a slightly surprised tone, "My first soul skill is Peerless Sword Qi! It can amplify the power of my sword qi by thirty percent, and during the skill's execution, I can also flexibly control the sword qi to form a sword qi defense around my body."

It integrates offense and defense.

It has inherited the characteristics of the Celestial Sword Scale Dragon quite well.

Moreover, this passive skill grants Bai Feng the ability to condense sword energy.

His martial spirit can release sword energy, but he also needs to cultivate it to achieve this, and the strength of the condensed sword energy will not be too high at the beginning.

"Hmm, as expected of a spirit ring that is nearly five hundred years old, the spirit skill of the Heavenly Star Sword Scale Dragon is very suitable for you, and the effect is also good."

Percentage-based buffs are the most cost-effective Soul Skills.

According to Su Yu's research, the spirit rings in Douluo Continent are an interface between spirit masters and the rules, and an application of the rules.

The percentage increase is guaranteed by the rules, and the increase rate is definitely sufficient.

As long as you don't neglect the cultivation of this soul skill, even if your soul power level continues to improve in the future, as long as your understanding and application of the first soul skill doesn't fall behind, this percentage will not decrease significantly.

This is Su Yu's guess.
