Douluo Continent: My Path to Godhood Through Stat Allocation

Chapter 51 Cursed Blade

"Teacher, what you're saying..."

Fang Ling already understood, and deliberately made things difficult for him:

"Even if someone exudes evil aura, as long as their soul power is pure, as long as they don't drink human blood, eat human flesh, harm the world, exploit human souls for cultivation, or slaughter soul beasts for cultivation, are they still a good soul master?"

Ordinary examples don't prove anything; we need to look at extreme cases.

"Forehead……"

Lin Tianyang was taken aback by the question, but quickly replied:

"Of course, but the Spirit Hall will be more strict in monitoring this type of Soul Master, requiring them to regularly go to the Spirit Hall to test the purity of their Soul Power."

The lake in Fangling's heart rippled slightly.

The criteria for identifying fallen soul masters here are actually more lenient than those used by Shrek Academy ten thousand years later.

It does not rely on martial spirits or soul skills, but on the deeds performed to make judgments.

Although holy angels hate evil, they seem to be able to distinguish between good and bad people.

It makes sense when you think about it.

There are so many soul beasts, and many of the best soul beasts have these kinds of soul skills. It's impossible for someone to get one and immediately become a fallen soul master, right?

Seeing that he understood, Lin Tianyang continued:

"For you, whether it's gaining attack enhancement, weakness detection, or this soul skill that drains life and soul power, it's all good."

"Attack enhancement can significantly improve your direct combat power. With your reaction and soul skill release speed, you can achieve unexpected effects."

"If the enemy is caught off guard during the battle, you can easily achieve a kill on first encounter."

Meanwhile, the dean was diligently using the wind to conduct reconnaissance.

Among this herd of triangular blue oxen are those that are thousands of years old.

Being weak does not mean being powerless to fight back.

The sturdy cowhide covering their bodies, resembling armor, combined with the three menacing horns on their heads that look like sharp knives, could inflict massive casualties on the trainees if they charged in a group.

Therefore, the first step is to drive them away and disrupt their formation.

When they encounter enemy spikes, the Blood Dragonflies will fly up to cover the retreat of the cattle.

This is also the best opportunity to help Fang Ling hunt down soul beasts.

To achieve all this, the primary prerequisite is that there cannot be any hidden ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts in the vicinity.

Ordinary ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts can be dealt with by the Dean, a powerful Soul Emperor.

But if we happen to alert something significant, then it's hard to say.

The chances of this happening on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest are slim, but not impossible.

Lin Tianyang watched closely, while continuing to explain to Fang Ling:

"If it's a soul skill that grants lifesteal and soul power, then it doesn't matter."

"If you want to level up quickly, you have to participate in life-or-death battles to force yourself, which makes you more susceptible to injury."

"The blood-sucking ability of the scythe can provide some healing, which can be used for treatment in emergency situations, so many people choose this type of soul skill."

Fang Ling was puzzled:

"I've played so many matches, how come I've never encountered this?"

Lin Tianyang chuckled softly:

"These types of spirit beasts are generally not easy to catch. People who would go to fight to the death are usually not rich or well-connected. Of course, they are rare in small places."

"How many times were you injured afterward?"

Fang Ling was taken aback by the question: "Not many times, mostly minor injuries..."

The teacher pressed further, "Then how do you know if they have this type of soul skill?"

Fang Ling smiled and said, "That's true."

The enemy was killed without even drawing blood; whether or not blood was absorbed was irrelevant.

He's now a Silver Soul Fighter, and he's going to the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.

The Great Soul Arena in the capital city of the empire, like Heavenly Dou City, concentrates the empire's essence.

There are countless high-level martial souls, and the various geniuses are naturally far superior to those from small places.

One must be even more cautious when engaging in a life-or-death battle there.

As your level increases, battles may last longer, and you might suffer more injuries. In that case, this soul skill that can absorb blood to recover will be very useful.

Moreover, it's not like Fang Ling can't absorb soul power.

In the Killing City, this kind of sustained skill was incredibly powerful.

Based on the two inherent specializations, Reflection and Digestion, obtained when acquiring the first Soul Ring, it is most likely a specialization.

He will most likely acquire the perks of blood-draining and soul-absorbing.

For the sake of the City of Slaughter, Fang Ling was planning to obtain a similar soul ring later, but he didn't expect to encounter one so soon.

"Let's wait and see how your father gets you a soul ring." Lin Tianyang was very confident; it was just a herd of Triangular Blue Bulls, the oldest of which was no more than a thousand years old.

Just as he said, in no time at all, the dean had already figured out the approximate distribution of the soul beasts in the vicinity.

Having ensured that there were no troublesome soul beasts nearby, the dean began his operation.

If he were alone, there would be no need for him to do this, but since there was a group of students following him, what could he do?

We must consider their needs.

The dean's fifth-ranked black spirit ring suddenly emitted a deep, eerie light.

A large-scale storm of blades began to spread forward.

The fifth soul skill, Gale Storm, can create a fierce storm by guiding dozens or even hundreds of deep blue blade beams.

It wasn't an ordinary storm; it was like countless dense wind blades shooting out.

A single attack is not very powerful; it relies on continuous, clustered attacks to gradually wear it down.

It wasn't for killing, but just to cause a stir, so this soul skill was very wide-ranging.

The cattle, which were grazing peacefully, were startled and began to run wildly and haphazardly towards the area free from the storm.

Several thousand-year-old, sharp-horned blood dragonflies fluttered their wings and flew, wavering between attacking and fleeing.

After a moment's hesitation, a fierce creature charged towards the dean, whose soul power was surging.

The others immediately flew away.

They were just spirit beasts, though they were essentially domesticated triangular blue oxen.

One should help protect the animals in one's livestock pen from external attacks.

However, it also depends on who you are facing.

A Soul Emperor is equivalent to a ten-thousand-year-old Soul Beast, and a powerful one at that.

Faced with such an insurmountable enemy, the obvious choice is to run away together!

Stubbornly resisting is foolish.

The dean casually unleashed two wind blades, killing him instantly.

Then, amidst the swirling hurricane, it charged towards the fleeing seven-hundred-year-old creature.

The final result was, of course, without a doubt.

Seven hundred years is nothing. How could it possibly outrun a Wind-attribute Soul Emperor who excels in speed and agility?

He finally stopped on the blood dragonfly, which looked very similar to a mosquito, and quickly waved to Fang Ling.

To attack a flying spirit beast, he also had to use his spirit skills.

This makes it difficult to control the power, and the dog was almost killed in one blow.

If you don't come quickly, you'll have to find a new soul beast.

Fang Ling understood this, and with a single stroke, he severed its head, swiftly ending its life.

The dean instructed:

"Start absorbing it. At your level, it should be quick."

Without the slightest hesitation, Fang Ling suppressed his excitement and directly activated his soul power.

The newly formed yellow spirit ring floated onto his body.

A surge of soul power, far stronger than that from absorbing the first soul ring, entered the body.

Fang Ling meditated without changing his expression, guiding this power to flow through his meridians.

Then, to my surprise, I discovered...

Digestion improves his energy utilization and absorption efficiency. This application is not limited to food; it also applies to soul power!

Although it can't help with cultivation except for absorbing spirit rings, it doesn't have much use for the time being.

But it will be very useful later.

An hour later, the spirit ring was successfully absorbed.

Just as the teacher said, the soul skill comes from the action of the Blood Dragonfly concentrating its soul power on its sharp beak, which can enhance its attack power.

Once activated, it can concentrate soul power in the scythe, causing the next attack to deal 250% damage.

This ratio doesn't sound very appealing, but its power is astonishing.

He adopted a familiar name for the skill, calling it "Curse Blade".
