—------------------—
The fire wolf pack scattered, leaving behind a fire wolf lying limp on the ground.
Chen Dong stepped forward and released his martial spirit.
A broad sword appeared in his hand. There was a thick red mist on the sword, as if it was condensed from blood. The red mist seemed to condense into lightning.
Chen Dong held a broadsword in his hand, and there was a circle of bright yellow soul rings around his body.
At this moment, this soul ring emits a dazzling light.
"The first soul skill, mountain collapse!"
He shouted loudly, and the Wolf Lord's broadsword in his hand released a strong wave, and the soul power passed through the blade and condensed into a strong sword energy outside the broadsword.
The sword energy is not sharp, giving people a sense of dullness, but the heaviness it contains is also shocking.
All of Chen Dong's soul power was concentrated on this one knife.
With one chopped blow, a huge gash appeared on the Fiery Wolf's head.
A circle of deep yellow soul ring emerged from the body of the Fiery Wolf.
Chen Dong took a deep breath, sat down in front of the body of the Fiery Wolf, closed his eyes and meditated, wrapping the Fiery Wolf's soul ring with his soul power.
The soul ring of the Fiery Wolf flew over quickly and put on Chen Dong.
The huge soul power impacted Chen Dong's limbs and bones, causing him to grimace, and even cracks appeared on his body surface, and blood began to seep out.
Chen Ming looked at this scene and was not nervous.
He has already sensed that Chen Dong's performance has reached its limit.
The soul power impact of the soul ring has already caused maximum damage to Chen Dong, but Chen Dong's improvement has just begun.
Half an hour after the absorption process began, the wounds on Chen Dong's body surface began to heal. Two and a half hours later, he opened his eyes and moved his body. The blood scabs on the surface of his body fell off, revealing the healed surface.
He gripped the broadsword in his hand, seeming very satisfied with this harvest.
"How about the soul skills?" Chen Ming asked.
"The soul skill that the Fiery Wolf gave me is called Fiery Slash. It can add flames to my broadsword. The blade is filled with flames and emits flaming blade energy. Moreover, Fiery Slash can be combined with my first soul skill, Collapsing Mountain Slash. The combination of the two soul skills has both physical explosion and flame burning."
Chen Ming nodded.
Such soul skills are all of good type.
This is a universal move, a foundation, and provides a perfect template for Chen Dong. Perhaps the soul ring has a limited lifespan, but as Chen Dong's swordsmanship improves, these two soul skills may not be inferior to soul skills that last for thousands of years.
"Let's go. I just captured a rare soul beast with my spiritual power. Its soul power has been fluctuating for a thousand years. I'll look at its characteristics and determine its exact age."
Rare soul beast?
Chen Ming and Long Aotian looked at each other, and Long Aotian showed a look of surprise.
The so-called rarity does not just refer to the small number, but more to its powerful talent.
Among soul beasts, those with the same cultivation level may have vastly different strengths. Some soul beasts, such as the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, can fight against most thousand-year soul beasts in just a hundred years, and can even compete with some weaker ten-thousand-year soul beasts.
"It should be the Megalodon. It has a trace of Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear bloodline. Its body can be transformed into metal elements and shaped. It has good burst and defense."
As he spoke, Du Bu Si had already brought the three of them to a place not far from the giant golden beast.
"Huh, you want to run?"
Du Bu Si would not let this giant golden beast run away, and immediately used his soul power to pin it down.
"One thousand three hundred years." Chen Ming looked away without any disappointment.
His perception was not bad, and he also noticed it when Du Bu Si sensed the giant golden beast.
"Aotian, let's just take this one." Du Bu Si suggested.
Their judgment was not as accurate as Chen Ming's, but they also locked on the cultivation range of this giant golden beast, between 1,200 and 1,400 years.
"Yes!"
Long Aotian nodded seriously.
This giant golden beast itself has powerful attributes in all aspects and is very suitable for its martial soul. In addition, its age is also suitable, so there is no reason for him to refuse.
With the help of Du Bu Si, Long Aotian killed the giant golden beast and absorbed its spirit ring. During the process of Long Aotian absorbing the spirit ring, Chen Dong grimaced more than once, which was really miserable.
There was blood all over his body, but there was no blood overflowing.
The whole person turned into a bloody man! Is this the normal state of a martial soul master absorbing soul rings? Chen Dong admired him from the bottom of his heart.
Long Aotian was very weak after absorbing the spirit ring. His injuries were all healed. This was the characteristic of a spirit master. After absorbing the spirit ring, it was a new life. As long as the absorption process did not damage the root, only some superficial injuries could be healed.
"My second soul skill is called Golden God's Wrath. It can turn my arms into metal and turn them into weapons."
Du Bu Si nodded, already very satisfied.
The original martial soul is very fragile, but with a soul skill like Long Aotian, there is no need to worry about being damaged.
The effect of the Golden God's Wrath would not be limited to the transformation of the arms, but should also include the ability to recover after damage, and even if properly developed, the entire body could be metallized, which could greatly enhance defense.
"The soul hunting went very smoothly this time. We have completed two-thirds of our goal in just five days." Du Bu Si said with a smile.
After resting, the four continued to search around.
"Xiao Ming, your spirit ring must be as close to the element as possible."
Chen Ming's martial soul has spiritual attributes, but soul beasts with spiritual attributes are very difficult to find, not to mention that soul beasts with spiritual attributes must be compatible with the original body, which makes it even more difficult to find.
Therefore, Du Bu Si chose the elemental direction for Chen Ming.
Find soul beasts that match your body, and then have the ability to control some elements.
This can also be regarded as the application of the spiritual attributes of Chen Ming's body, and can also serve as Chen Ming's major direction.
It is really powerful to control many elements with one's own body and even transform into corresponding elemental bodies.
Chen Ming did not refuse.
Elemental affinity can be adjusted.
"If you want to control the elements, then focus on the two attributes of ice and fire." Chen Ming said that his Samsara Disk martial soul possesses certain yin and yang attributes, and is nurtured by the essence of the sun and the moon. The corresponding lower-level elements are ice and fire.
Starting with ice and fire would also make it easier for him to develop the abilities of the Wheel of Reincarnation.
The most important thing is that he wants to use this as an opportunity to activate the Wheel of Reincarnation and try to attract the essence of the sun and the moon to temper his body and refine his soul.
"Ice and fire?"
Du Bu Si agreed very much.
For soul masters who are used to seeking abuse, the ice and fire combination is definitely a classic combination that appears frequently.
"Then I will find you a spirit ring with fire attribute first. When you get your next spirit ring, I will take you to the far north to get an ice attribute one."
Chen Ming nodded.
That's exactly what he wanted.
The fire-attributed soul ring just matched the supplementary soul ring he had urgently condensed using Yang Spring's power.
The four continued to search around the outskirts of the Star Forest.
It was not known whether the four of them had run out of luck, but they had been searching for more than half a month and still could not find a soul beast suitable for Chen Ming.
Either the soul beast is not strong enough or its age is not right. Sometimes, when you finally find a compatible one, its attributes don't match.
After wandering around, the four of them came to a gloomy valley.
"The aura of this valley is not right. There should be no soul beast suitable for my junior brother." Long Aotian frowned.
Chen Ming did not agree with Long Aotian's words. He felt an extremely hot force deep in the valley.
Of course, Du Bu Si also vaguely sensed this contrast.
