Douluo Continent: My Path to Godhood Through Stat Allocation

Chapter 52 Martial Soul Evolution, Long-handled Battle Scythe

"Cursed Blade" sounds familiar, but it is actually the power of the three phases.

The only difference is the method of use; this is a spirit ring, which needs to be actively activated.

Unlike the first soul skill, Star Mole Transformation, which has a very low energy consumption, Curse Blade consumes a lot of energy.

Each enchantment consumes approximately 10% of your soul power.

Although it's only one hit, the amplification is extremely high precisely because it's only one hit.

250 percent!

It's 2.5 times the 100% amplification of Dai Mubai's third soul ring, the White Tiger Vajra Transformation!

You don't need to think too much about how to use it; just focus on one word—unexpected.

It is temporarily impossible to use it covertly.

However, when Fang Ling trains his warrior's will to a high enough level, his soul skills become instantaneous.

With extremely rapid nerve reflexes, the blade is drawn again as it approaches the victim.

The serious battle turned into a guessing game.

Guess if I'll use the "Cursed Blade" for my next strike?

If the enemy dares to be careless in their defense, he will deliver an explosive blow.

Few people can defend against it.

It has been confirmed that Fang Ling will gain additional special abilities upon obtaining his first spirit ring.

My gaze fell on the Specialties section, where two new specialties had been added this time.

And it was equally surprising.

First.

Weakness Detection Lv2 (Original feat, derived from the compound eyes of the Spiked Blood Dragonfly, which can observe and concentrate soul power in its mouthparts to pierce through thick cowhide and accurately penetrate blood vessels. Now you can observe the weak points in the enemy's soul power circulation, and you will gain a certain damage bonus when the attack hits.)

Based on the description, it is roughly classified as a physical feat within the category of the character's feats.

For now, this expertise is very useful.

The human body certainly can't withstand a scythe; this skill is specifically designed to target defensive, tank-type Soul Masters.

For example, the Diamond Mammoth, the Plate Armored Rhinoceros, the Black Tortoise Shield, and dragon scales.

Unfortunately, the word "certainly" is not very elegant, as it does not specify the exact multiple.

He'll have to experiment with it slowly later.

The second specialty was as expected.

Absorb Lv2 (Soul Specialization: When your scythe injures an enemy, you can absorb pure life energy and soul power from their body to heal yourself and replenish your soul power.)

They are capable of prolonged battles and can emerge victorious from sieges.

This is a divine skill for clearing out the Killing City!

Although it was expected, this specialty brought about an unexpected new specialty type: Martial Soul Specialty.

The special skill of a martial soul is obviously similar to the inherent special skill of a martial soul.

The inherent special abilities of a martial soul will upgrade as the martial soul levels up.

The martial soul specialization derived from the spirit ring will mostly only level up along with the spirit ring.

It cannot be verified yet, but Fang Ling guessed that's how it is.

The soul ring absorption went smoothly, and taking this opportunity, he used the points he had painstakingly accumulated to upgrade the martial soul he had been longing for.

There was no mysterious aura, nor any special feeling.

As the count went down to thirty, the scythe-wielding spirit had quietly transformed before everyone's very eyes.

After absorbing the spirit ring, Fang Ling opened his eyes.

With a wave of his hand, a flash of silver light appeared, and everyone was surprised to find that Fang Ling's martial soul was completely different from before.

"Your martial spirit!"

The dean's pupils constricted instantly, and disbelief flashed in his eyes.

He subconsciously tossed the dead, spiked blood dragonfly corpse on the ground with his foot.

His gaze shifted back and forth between Fang Ling's newly appeared martial spirit and the corpses of the soul beasts on the ground.

"Not...your martial soul?"

"A martial soul can evolve by absorbing a hundred-year-old spiked blood dragonfly soul ring?" Lin Tianyang felt his worldview had been shaken.

Fang Ling's expression of surprise hadn't faded as he lovingly stroked the martial spirit that had undergone such a dramatic change.

What was originally a small agricultural sickle has now been transformed into a large, long-handled, double-edged scythe.

The panel is described as follows.

Martial Soul: Long-handled War Scythe (Lv3, 6.66%) (A scythe martial soul that has undergone one pseudo-evolution. It is a double-edged scythe used in combat. The weapon is 2.1 meters long, with an outer blade of 43 centimeters and an inner blade of 40 centimeters. The widest point is 6 centimeters. The handle is made of iron, 2 meters long, 3 centimeters in diameter, and weighs 80 kilograms.)

The new martial spirit is entirely silver-white metallic in color.

The surface of the scythe was as smooth as a mirror, and the thick blade was longer than the original entire martial spirit.

The handle is rough, making it easy to grip. However, it is not as heavy as the base weight of the Clear Sky Hammer. Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer has a base weight of 500 jin, while his is only 80 jin.

Of course, it is incorrect to judge the quality of a martial soul solely by its weight.

Fang Ling's martial soul has just reached the threshold of intermediate-level martial soul.

It's just that its form has changed and its quality has been slightly improved; it hasn't reached the level of a true intermediate-grade martial soul yet.

It naturally cannot compare to top-tier weapon spirits like the Clear Sky Hammer.

Fang Ling could sense the weakness in Fang Ling's body due to the forced evolution of its appearance.

We must complete it as soon as possible!

"A scythe over two meters long!"

After his initial surprise, the dean calmed down.

It's rather strange that a hundred-year-old soul ring could achieve such an effect.

However, there are still many unsolved mysteries surrounding martial souls and even soul rings, so this is nothing in comparison.

A sickle that an ordinary person uses to cut grass is ultimately too weak; the wooden handle and the area behind it may become a weak point for the enemy to attack.

Now that it's completely made of metal, great, it couldn't be better!

This means that Fang Ling has a greater prospect for development.

In this way, he could use his family's reputation to recommend Fang Ling to a better academy.

It's not impossible that the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy is also involved.

Who has ever seen a Silver Soul genius in a life-or-death battle at the first ring level?

"Teacher, Grandmaster!"

Fang Ling jumped up, placing the two-meter-long scythe upright on the ground, towering above his head.

He is only 1.5 meters tall now.

Lin Tianyang looked at the scythe, which was a head taller than Fang Ling, and chuckled:

"Your scythe is nice to look at, but it's a bit too long. You should change your fighting style before heading to the Advanced Soul Master Academy."

"The long-handled scythe is stronger, but you're still not tall enough. Your father and I will help you redesign your fighting style."

Fang Ling felt grateful, glanced at the envious looks from those around him, and said considerately:

"Master, Grandmaster, the matter of battle tactics isn't urgent for now. Let's discuss it when we get back."

"Now I also need to help others hunt for souls."

The shock in their hearts had not yet subsided, but what Fang Ling said made a lot of sense.

In the Soul Beast Forest, hunting souls is of course the most important thing.

Leading the equally impressed students and several other teachers, they continued their journey through the mudflats and reeds, searching for the next suitable soul beast.

at this time

"roar--"

A furious roar suddenly came from the heart of the forest.

It sounded like the howl of an ape, or perhaps the rage of a high-level human soul master.

Even from such a great distance, one can still hear the immense power and majesty of the beast.

If it's not a dragon's roar, then it's not the Azure Bull Python, so it must be the Titan Giant Ape.

Xiao Wu isn't here, is he going crazy from boredom?

Or perhaps it was facing the challenges of those three ants and the Dark Demon God Tiger.

Fang Ling made wild guesses.

It let out a howl and felt great, but those who hunted souls in the forest were doomed.

The faces of everyone in the Soul Hunting Team of the War King Academy were very grim, and the students were trembling with fear.

This deafening roar, like rolling thunder, startled the entire Starry Sky Forest.

In an instant, the beasts panicked and fled in all directions.

Birds flapped their wings and soared into the sky, their feathers blotting out the sun, creating chaos.

A sudden earthquake shook the ground.

This single roar triggered a small-scale beast tide.

The dean's expression was extremely solemn:

"Damn it, something unexpected has happened in the Star Dou Great Forest. Follow me, I'll lead the way, let's retreat first!"
