Douluo Continent: My Path to Godhood Through Stat Allocation

Chapter 56 Preparing to Leave

They don't have soul skills; instead, they manifest themselves as special skills.

Explosion Lv3 (Personal specialty: channel soul power into the right foot and kick out with a deafening roar, like the breaking of dawn, inflicting unimaginable explosive damage on enemies.)

This expertise reveals several very useful pieces of information.

The soul skills brought by the soul bone are considered as the user's specialties.

The special skill granted by a thousand-year-old soul bone is Lv3, which is one level higher than that of a hundred-year-old soul bone.

By analogy with spirit rings, this can be seen as a simple verification of his previous conjecture.

This description of the specialty reveals that the one-eyed antelope also has the ability to kick out explosions.

And it can mostly be done using all four hooves.

Thinking about this, Fang Ling couldn't help but feel a wave of fear.

Faced with a powerful thousand-year-old soul beast, he instinctively chose to flee.

In the end, it wasn't given much of a chance to launch a last-ditch counterattack.

Otherwise, if I got kicked, I might really die instantly...

Putting the non-existent "what ifs" aside, Fang Ling continued to focus on her expertise.

The number of specialties is increasing.

At the same time, other areas of expertise have also changed accordingly.

Perhaps it's because the one-eyed antelope is very stubborn, or perhaps it's the inherent stubbornness of sheep as animals.

I only caught a glimpse of it in the woods.

The sheep chased Fang Ling for hundreds of kilometers.

Finally, he was lured by Fang Ling and trapped in a crevice in the mountain, whereupon he was killed against his will.

The frustration of having no outlet for one's strength, of being a dragon stranded in shallow waters and killed by ants, coupled with that stubborn personality, is enough to make one feel uncomfortable just thinking about it.

It was precisely because it was so frustrated that its soul and bones carried a trace of resentment and unwillingness.

These lingering resentments caused rampant disruption when absorbing soul bones.

Fang Ling has not yet opened up his spiritual sea, nor has he reached the point where he can use spiritual power.

However, the disbelieving and the resentful beasts, bound by their soul power and using their right feet as the battlefield, engaged in a fierce battle.

It was both a danger and an opportunity; Fang Ling's spirit and will were tempered in a rare way.

After the victory, the warrior's will was unexpectedly, yet naturally, upgraded.

Warrior's Will Lv3 (Personal Specialty: A tenacious fighting spirit forged in intense life-or-death battles, allowing you to temporarily ignore the effects of pain on your body. A steadfast heart can endure loneliness, and this powerful will passively increases the flow of your soul power within your body by 15%.)

Since acquiring the Warrior's Will specialization, his growth has been somewhat sudden.

However, it can generally be seen as a transformation of the mind and a strengthening of will.

Fang Ling couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Perhaps in order to upgrade the warrior's will, we will have to do things that challenge the limits of will?

In layman's terms, it's courting death.

Go all out and do whatever it takes to avoid getting yourself killed.

Fang Ling frowned, not really wanting to do that.

This goes against his way of life and survival.

Let's wait until we can't make any progress before we talk about it.

If it really comes to that, then there's no other way but to make progress.

He believed that by then his strength had reached an absurd level.

Even if someone is courting death, they won't kill themselves so easily.

As Fang Ling advanced from a Soul Master to a Great Soul Master, the special skill hidden at the end of the special skill section also underwent some changes.

The almost invisible, dull gray became slightly brighter, and three more words appeared.

Special Skills → Special Skills (In Integration):

Yes, it ends with a colon. This thing stops there.

The rest remains blurry and unclear; it should only appear or load when Fang Ling's level is higher.

The phrase "in fusion" suggests that an unknown force is fusing with Fang Ling or the scythe-wielding martial spirit.

This inevitably sparks the imagination.

After a moment of contemplation, he gently shook his head.

This alone doesn't reveal much. Even if it were to fully develop, it might exceed his expectations and bring about tremendous changes for him.

But that's for the future; it's not worth worrying about now.

Just let things take their natural course.

When the mind is empty, there are no worries.

Wiping away the dust from his heart, Fang Ling carefully scanned his surroundings under the bright moonlight and with his enhanced eyes, which were now focused on weakness detection.

Not seeing any lurking, malevolent spirit beasts plotting against them, they drifted into a light sleep.

It is especially important to get enough rest and recharge your energy during times like these.

There is no time to be careless in the Starry Sky Forest.

Often, a fleeting moment can mean the difference between life and death.

……

Early the next morning.

Fang Ling randomly selected two audacious hundred-year-old soul beasts that attacked him.

Wielding the long-handled battle scythe with increasing skill, a soul beast unleashed a cursed blade, instantly completing the final four points.

Then I immediately leveled up my Martial Soul to Lv4.

The handwriting on the panel changed rapidly.

Martial Soul: Long-handled War Scythe (Lv4, 0%) (A scythe-type martial soul that has undergone one evolution... a lower-tier mid-level martial soul)

Specialty: Sharpness Lv4 (A unique specialty of your Martial Soul. The increased sharpness allows your Martial Soul to cut through fine iron armor, finally giving it some semblance of combat capability.)

Resilience Lv4 (A unique skill of the Martial Soul; hardness and resilience have been moderately improved, making it less likely to be injured by other people's Martial Souls.)

The moment the martial spirit was upgraded, the unique and strange feeling of weakness that had been lingering in my heart seemed to be quietly swept away by an invisible spring breeze.

The word "pseudo" has been removed from the previous Lv3 level.

When Fang Ling gripped the long handle of the scythe again, he felt an exceptionally full and extraordinary sensation.

It's as if you can feel every tiny pulse of it, connected to your own bloodline, becoming one with it.

A powerful urge surged within him, a desire to confront those thousand-year-old soul beasts head-on.

Suddenly, I felt like I could do it again.

The saying that power inflates one's ego is certainly true.

Fang Ling was happy, but of course she wouldn't fall for it.

He's not stupid; it's just the inflated ego that comes with a rapid increase in power.

If you can control your soul bone from being used on the spot, what does that count as?

The descriptions of the inherent specialties of the two martial souls were nothing special; they simply gave him more confidence to clash with other powerful martial souls.

This trip to the Star Dou Great Forest has come to an end.

It was truly a huge success!

Not only did he successfully advance to become a second-ring Great Soul Master, but his Martial Soul also evolved from a small agricultural sickle to a long-handled, double-edged war scythe.

They gained the Soul Skill Cursed Blade, which provides a very high attack bonus, as well as the skills of Absorption and Weakness Detection.

The Warrior's Will, which is related to the speed of casting Soul Skills, has also been improved, with the bonus reaching a full 15%.

Of course, the most important thing was obtaining the external soul bone—

Right foot bone of a one-eyed giant horned goat!

His explosive skills also complement his fleeting combat style.

We can't be greedy anymore; it's time to go back.

The teachers should have all left the Star Dou Great Forest by now, and are still worried about him.

Fang Ling knew the principle that too much of a good thing is bad.

I cannot, and it is not convenient for, to linger here any longer.

Just deal with some clueless guys on the way out.

They dare not touch thousand-year-old soul beasts, but bullying ordinary hundred-year-old soul beasts is no problem at all.

No one can see it; as long as the process is controlled properly, the corpse of the soul beast will soon be digested by the environment.

Seeing it wasn't really a big deal; he was just reacting passively.

It won't leave any evidence for others to use against you.
