"Did you hear that, Xiao San? This is the proof that the soul skill is related to the martial soul itself." Gu You looked at Tang San proudly (Tang San:? I'm not debating with you).
"The Earth-Splitting Bear is an earth-attributed soul beast with extraordinary strength. Its most common attack method is to raise its paw and smash it downwards. Since it can easily crack the ground, it is named the Earth-Splitting Bear."
"Gibbon, a soul beast without attributes, is characterized by its extremely long arms. It can easily grab a branch with one hand and reach down with the other hand to get the fruit that falls from the tree. It often uses its long and strong arms to sweep across to force back the enemy and then jump onto a tree to escape."
Gu You nodded, "Just as I thought, Grandpa Mashunuo's two soul skills are exactly the most commonly used attack methods of these two soul beasts, but the things released have become martial soul iron rods."
"But now, the soul skills survival instinct I have acquired has made me sure that it is not just the soul beast and the martial soul that influence the formation of soul skills. The soul master's thoughts. No, it should be called will. It can also cause soul skills to change."
"This will may be a deep desire in the heart, or a subconscious inertia." As he spoke, Gu You's eyes gradually became empty. "The Dai family, the royal family of the Xingluo Empire, has the white tiger as their martial soul. The first three soul skills of each generation are fixed. The first soul skill is the white tiger body barrier, the second soul skill is the white tiger fierce light wave, and the third soul skill is the white tiger diamond transformation. The first three soul skills are defense, attack, and amplification."
"Isn't this very strange? Take the third soul skill, King Kong Tiger, for example. The Dai family is not the only one that hunts King Kong Tigers. However, any King Kong Tiger that becomes the Dai family's White Tiger martial soul ring will provide the White Tiger King Kong Transformation soul skill, without exception."
"In addition to the White Tiger Martial Soul's amplification soul skill, the White Tiger Diamond Transformation, the Diamond Tiger also provides sound soul skills and defense soul skills. The Diamond Tiger, which is famous for its physique and defense, even provides attack soul skills."
-----------------
ps: The amplification soul skills in the original work are almost all enhanced in the form of percentages or multiples. I personally feel that this is too much like stacking numbers in a game. There is even a bug-level fourth soul skill like the Invincible Golden Body. Therefore, except for a very small number of soul skill effects in this book, all are changed to blurred, and there are almost no absolute or confirmed soul skill effects.
In order to write down the story in my heart, I have given up most of the entertainment. I don't know if it is worth it (crying). I continue to ask for recommendation votes, collections, and monthly tickets. Thank you everyone
Chapter 31 The Mystery of Soul Skills
"Then why is it that only when the Dai family's White Tiger Martial Spirit is it an amplification-type spirit skill?"
Although Gu You asked this question in the form of a question, he was very clear that no one present could answer it, and even no one in the entire continent could answer this question.
Psychological suggestion is a hypothesis affirmed by subjective will. It may not be based on facts, but because its existence has been affirmed subjectively, people will psychologically strive to tend towards this content.
Gu You believed that years of experience had allowed the Dai family to form a psychological suggestion that as long as they hunted soul beasts like the King Kong Tiger, they would inevitably obtain the soul skill White Tiger King Kong Transformation. This suggestion in turn affected the formation of soul skills, and the two formed a cycle.
Ten thousand years later in the Peerless Tang Sect, the soul skills of the Dai family have even become exactly the same as those of Dai Mubai ten thousand years ago. Gu You speculates that this is because Dai Mubai recorded the soul beasts and soul skills that he hunted with his soul ring. People who know about it will have the idea that "I can get this soul skill if I kill this kind of soul beast", thus completing the psychological suggestion.
From a certain perspective, this hint has set a lower limit for the acquisition of soul skills, reducing the risk of mistakes. But in turn, it also affects the possibility of soul masters acquiring different soul skills, making the fighting styles of soul masters of the same lineage consistent, and the information about the effects of soul skills is easily leaked and targeted.
Although Gu You already had a guess, knowledge like psychological suggestion was not something he could express out loud at the moment, and the logic behind it could not be explained clearly for the time being.
So Gu You decided to put it in the simplest and most brutal way: "Because the Dai family thought they would get this soul skill, they got this soul skill."
"..."
Tang San and the others were completely confused and had no idea what Gu You was saying.
"What do you mean they think it will be this spirit skill so in the end it is this spirit skill? The effects of spirit skills are all random. You told me this." Tang San raised his own doubts. The spirit knowledge that Gu Youxiang had told Tang San like a story in the past was spoken out by Tang San.
"It is indeed random, but this randomness itself is controllable." Gu You explained, "Just like after a soul master decides on his own development direction, there has never been a situation where the soul master's soul skills and development direction are unrelated. Grandpa Ma Xiunuo, I believe you should be very clear about this after reading a lot of soul master files."
Matthew recalled and found that it was indeed the case. There has never been a soul master's soul skills and development direction that have no connection. Even if they seem useless, the actual effects are related.
Thinking of this, Mashuno nodded affirmatively, indicating that he agreed with Gu You's statement.
Seeing Matthew nod, Su Yuntao and Tang San were also surprised that the soul master actually had a way to control and obtain soul skills.
Gu You continued, "Another proof is my soul skills. In the battle just now, although I don't want to admit it, I did perform exceptionally badly."
Seeing Tang San wanted to say something, Gu You waved his hand to stop him, "I did win against Wolf Hunter, but at that time I was dominated by my martial spirit and performed like that. Now if I do it again, I will definitely be different from before, so I hope I can do what my martial spirit did."
"I think this is where the name of my first soul skill comes from - survival instinct, the struggle to stay alive. Everything is for winning. If I can't win, then let the martial soul win by itself. Here, victory is everything."
No one knows how much pressure Gu You feels in his heart. In this deformed world, the strong can arbitrarily dominate the weak. Life is the most precious and the least precious thing. Gu You, who has lived a new life, does not want to die again, and he does not want to die in obscurity.
Gu You, who had no interest in studying in his original world, can now calm down and read all the books in the Spirit Hall. He will read even the most insignificant books, more seriously than taking the college entrance examination, just to arm himself with knowledge.
Gu You does not know how to fight and has never learned it. Before his martial soul awakened, all he brought from his previous life were the various knowledge given to him by compulsory education and the Internet, the learning methods he was forced to master, and the fantastic ideas of various cultural products. Being weak, he could only forget his environment when he was studying and feel that he possessed the power called knowledge.
Hearing Gu You's words, Su Yuntao said, "Xiao You, you are too extreme." But seeing Gu You's eyes, he couldn't say much. Deep in Gu You's eyes seemed to be burning a ball of dark flame, a flame that could burn everything to ashes.
No one said anything else and continued on their way in silence.
Tang San was thinking about what Gu You said. Tang San thought that if Gu You was right, then the spirit skill he got from the lightning wood could also be transformed into the desired effect according to his own wishes.
However, Tang San only knew that Gu You's development direction for him was auxiliary, but he didn't say what kind of soul skills he could obtain. Then wouldn't his first soul skill be random and uncontrollable?
Although he really wanted to ask Gu You to tell him what kind of spirit skills the Lightning Wood could provide so that he could be mentally prepared, the team's silence prevented Tang San from speaking.
The sky gradually darkened as the group was on the road. Mashuno led the three people away from the stream, found a flat ground and had everyone set up camp.
After dinner, Gu You and Tang San shared a tent to rest, while Mashunuo and Su Yuntao took turns to keep watch in another tent. Mashunuo kept watch in the first half of the night, while Su Yuntao was responsible for the second half. Finally, everyone got up, and Su Yuntao slept for another two hours before continuing on their journey.
After a tiring day, Gu You, Tang San and Su Yuntao quickly washed up and went into the tent to rest. As soon as they lay down in the tent, Tang San couldn't wait to ask: "Xiao You, what kind of spirit skills can I get from the lightning wood?"
Gu You looked at Tang San in bewilderment, "Didn't I just say that once I tell you the possible effect of a spirit skill, then your spirit skill is likely to have that effect."
"It's okay, Xiao You, I want to know." Tang San looked at Gu You firmly, "And didn't you say, "Practice is the only criterion for testing truth", then let me be your first test subject."
Hearing Tang San's words, Gu You was shocked, opened his mouth wide, and looked at Tang San in amazement.
Although he still felt some pressure, Tang San still said resolutely: "It's okay, aren't you a spirit master? No matter how bad your theory is, it can't be worse than that person who calls himself a "master". "
Hearing the sincerity in Tang San's words, Gu You stopped persuading him, "As I said before I set out, when the Lightning Strike Wood provides spirit skills for plant-type martial spirits, it must be related to vitality. As a plant-type spirit beast without leaves, its vigorous vitality comes entirely from its roots buried in the ground. So, after your Blue Silver Grass obtains its spirit ring, it is very likely to obtain spirit skills that can absorb nutrients from the ground to increase vitality. The side effect should be an increase in the strength of the martial spirit, and with great luck, it may also gain resistance to lightning attributes."
-----------------
ps: Almost all soul masters' soul skills are related to their own development direction. Auxiliary soul masters will not obtain attack soul skills, and strong attack soul masters will not obtain auxiliary abilities. According to the setting of random soul skill effects, the probability is a bit too low. It can only be explained as related to the soul master's own wishes.
I have to go to the grave tomorrow, so I can only try to find time to write. I just saw everyone's encouragement to me, very
Chapter 32 Soul Bone? !
The next day, everyone regrouped and continued on their way to find the lightning-struck wood for Tang San.
After lunch, they walked for half an hour and arrived at the destination lake. After another two hours of searching, they found the lightning-struck wood that Tang San needed one kilometer away from the lake.
As a hundred-year-old plant-type soul beast, the Lightning Strike Wood has no taste and has not evolved any intelligence. Its lack of leaves also prevents herbivorous soul beasts from staying by the Lightning Strike Wood.
When Tang San saw Gu You asking Mashuno to take out the prepared saw from the ring and hand it to him, and nodded slightly and said "Go ahead," he wanted to smash Gu You's head with the Clear Sky Hammer. How come when you hunt souls there is a big fight and blood and flesh flying everywhere (referring to hunting wolves), but when it comes to me, I just kill a tree?
But after hearing Gu You's explanation, "I don't know at what point the lightning will strike the tree before it dies. If it dies when others strike it, then this spirit ring will be useless," Tang San still picked up the saw himself and sawed the spirit beast in half, bit by bit.
Because the lightning wood is a very hard plant, even though Tang San has been training since childhood and recently wielded a heavy forging hammer, he can only saw the lightning wood bit by bit. At noon the next day, more than two-thirds of the lightning wood finally died. The moment it died, the lightning wood seemed to have turned into an ordinary tree. The remaining one-third was directly torn off by the fallen trunk, and a circle of yellow spirit rings appeared next to it.
Tang San threw the saw away and collapsed on the ground. If he hadn't practiced the Mysterious Jade Hand, his hands would have been covered in blood.
"Xiao San, sit down quickly and adjust your state. Absorb the spirit ring as soon as possible. After the absorption, we will leave the forest." Mashuno urged.
Tang San struggled to sit up from the ground, took the kettle handed over by Gu You and drank a few sips, nodded to Gu You, then crossed his legs and practiced Xuan Tian Gong to adjust his state.
Mashunuo once again told Gu You the knowledge he had given Tang San, and everyone quieted down and waited for Tang San to absorb the spirit ring.
"Huh?" Gu You, who was observing the lightning-struck wood, found that there were some spots of light like jade in the fallen tree trunk. He grabbed it and pulled it hard.
"Soul, soul, soul bone?!!!" Matthew Nuo and Su Yuntao, who noticed Gu You's actions, walked to Gu You and saw the scene of Gu You pulling it out. Su Yuntao saw the shape of an ordinary human bone and couldn't help but say the name of that thing.
"It's actually a soul bone!" Mashunuo was shocked. Although soul bones can be produced by all soul beasts, the older the soul beast is, the greater the chance of producing soul rings. Among soul beasts, plant soul beasts are more difficult to produce soul beasts than animal soul beasts. Mashunuo, who knew this, was very surprised that a plant soul beast that was only a hundred years old could produce soul bones.
"Is this the soul bone?" Gu You was surprised by the beauty of the soul bone, which was like the color of jasper. Perhaps it came from a plant-type soul beast. It was emerald green all over, with a stream of light flowing in the middle like lightning. Unlike what Gu You imagined, the soul bone was not like a part of the adult human skeleton seen in the laboratory. It was closer in size to a baby's skeleton. It was obvious that the soul bone in his hand was a right leg bone.
Although he really wanted to keep this soul bone for research, he considered that firstly, this soul bone belonged to Tang San, and secondly, he was worried that Matthew Nuo and Su Yuntao would be overwhelmed by this treasure, and he might not be able to defeat them with his weak arms and legs.
Gu You decisively handed the soul bone to Mashunuo and said in a sweet voice (vomit): "Grandpa Mashunuo, thank you for bringing Xiao San and me here to hunt souls. Without you and Brother Tao, Xiao San and I would not be able to obtain soul rings. The two of us don't have anything to show off, so this soul bone is just right for you as a thank you gift." (Usually, soul bones belong to the last killer or the person who contributed the most)
Mashuno took the soul bone with shaking hands. It was the first time in his life that he had seen a real soul bone, let alone touched it. He murmured to himself with a trembling voice: "Soul bone, is this a soul bone?"
Su Yuntao also stood beside the soul bone, as if he was afraid of dirtying it. He only dared to touch the soul bone lightly with his fingers, and his mouth opened and closed, but no sound came out.
Seeing the obsessed looks of the two, Gu You secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "Fortunately, I reacted quickly, otherwise it would be dangerous. I didn't expect that the soul bones of a hundred-year-old soul beast could also make people lose their minds."
This is where Gu You is misled by the memory of his past life. The worst soul bones in the original novel are all of the thousand-year level, and those that appear later are almost all of the ten-thousand-year soul bones. The protagonists of later times are even worse than dogs, with full sets of divine armor. If you don't have external soul bones, you'd be embarrassed to greet people and say you're the protagonist.
But the reality is, soul bones are so scarce that even if they are only available for ten years, they are still treasures for soul masters. Each additional soul bone will give one more skill. For soul masters who have a maximum of nine skill slots, one more skill is a huge advantage.
Matthew slowly woke up from the temptation of the soul bone. He looked at Su Yuntao who was still looking at the soul bone obsessed, then looked at Tang San who was still absorbing the soul ring and Gu You who continued to observe the lightning-struck wood, and he became very angry.
"Snapped!"
"Ah!" Su Yuntao covered his head with his hands, "Master Mashouno, why did you hit me?"
"Yuntao, this thing is not and is not suitable for us." Mashunuo said to Su Yuntao in a subtle but firm voice, turning his head to look in the direction of the two of them.
Following Matthew's gaze, Su Yuntao also saw Tang San absorbing the spirit ring and Gu You observing the lightning-struck wood. Gu You even broke off a few pieces of lightning-struck wood and put them in his bag, and also found some seeds from the fallen tree trunk and prepared to take them with him.
Seeing this, Su Yuntao closed his eyes and took a deep breath, suppressing the greed in his heart. Indeed, this soul bone is not suitable for himself or Master Mashunuo. With their talents, the three-ring soul master is the maximum. But for those two children, this soul bone can play the greatest role.
Thinking of this, Su Yuntao opened his eyes and nodded firmly to Mashunuo.
"Remember, we don't know what this is and we have never seen this thing." Matthew Nuo said in Su Yuntao's ear, took out a piece of cloth from the ring, wrapped the soul bone, put it in a wooden box, and finally put it into the ring.
After doing all this, Mashuno walked to Gu You, who was carefully observing the lightning-struck wood, and whispered, "Don't tell anyone about this. When we return to Notting City, you and Xiao San will wait for me in the basement." After saying that, he quickly walked away without waiting for Gu You to answer.
Gu You finally felt relieved. Seeing the two people's performance, he knew that he was safe now.
A wave of soul skill was heard, and the three turned their heads to look at the tent. After a few breaths, Tang San opened the tent and walked out.
With a smile on his face, he said, "I succeeded, too."
-----------------
ps: The plant soul beast Thunderstruck wood has a hard texture and no leaves, so it is basically not on the diet of herbivorous soul beasts. It is also relatively young and has not yet developed self-awareness.
After thinking for a long time, I decided to put the story of the soul bone in the early stage. I declare in advance that this soul bone is not for absorption. The first update is completed today, and I don’t know when the second update will be released. Everyone should rest early. Finally, I still ask for recommendation tickets, collections, and monthly tickets
Chapter 33: Auxiliary Spirit Master Tang San
"Xiao San, are you okay?" Gu You asked with concern.
"It's OK. It went very smoothly." Tang San knew what Gu You wanted to ask, so he added, "Just like when we put the fish basket."
Hearing what Tang San said, Gu You also laughed.
Gu You never expected that Tang San would still remember that incident. At that time, Gu You and Tang San had just known each other for a year. During that year, Gu You discovered that Tang Hao treated Tang San really badly. Not only did he not have enough food to eat or warm clothes to wear, but it was Tang San who took care of the alcoholic Tang Hao instead of Tang Hao.
It was winter, there was no food in the fields, and no wild fruits on the trees. Gu You noticed that Tang San was shaking for no reason, and thinking of how Tang Hao had treated Tang San, he dragged Tang San to the river to go fishing.
However, fishing is not a stable way to get food, so Gu You made a simple fish basket and waited for the fish to enter the place without ice. Tang San asked if he could catch fish, and Gu You replied: "No problem, everything went according to plan." In the end, he did catch fish with the fish basket, and Gu You gave the fish to Tang San, so that he could drink fish soup in winter for the first time (Douluo Continent).
Tang San said this at this time, indicating that Tang San's spirit skill was indeed as Gu You expected. It might have been affected by what Gu You said, and it might even be that the effect was the same as what Gu You said.
"Congratulations, Xiao San, you are now an official spirit master." Su Yuntao walked over and patted Tang San's shoulder vigorously.
Ma Xiunuo also came over and asked, "Xiao San, how are you now? If you are fine, we will leave the Soul Beast Forest as soon as possible."
Tang San nodded, and the group packed up their things as quickly as possible and headed out of the forest. Gu You and Tang San both obtained their first spirit ring, and their physical fitness also improved. Because they did not need to search for the traces of spirit beasts, their speed was much faster than when they came in.
