Douluo: Law of Heaven and Earth

Chapter 739 Xiao Wu's Choice of the Fourth Spirit Ring
“No, it’s just that after opening up the inner scene, some things that I couldn’t figure out before have suddenly become clearer.”

Romantina restrained her spirit power between breaths and asked Zhou Qing why he came. "What are you doing here? Are you...wanting to invite me on a date?"

"I don't have time for that."

Zhou Qing rolled his eyes at her without any hesitation, "You will be very busy in the near future, as many people from different forces will ask you to assist them in refining their spirit rings.

I've thought about this and decided to increase the fee so that you won't suffer. The price is 300 million gold soul coins per hour. If they can't finish it within an hour, they will have to pay another 300 million."

"You are not as fast as me in robbing money!" Xiao Wu was stunned. For the first time, she realized that Zhou Qing was such a big profiteer.

"Please, creating the Chi Society, developing the team, researching martial spirits, establishing schools, training teams, etc. all require money." Zhou Qing said that the 10 billion gold soul coins he had swindled from the people at the Tiandou Royal Academy at the All-Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition were far from enough.

Moreover, when the system based on the Chihui is truly established in the future, Zhou Qing will cancel this monetary system based on precious metals.

Precious metals are used as currency because they have value in themselves.

But such a system also proves one thing: the people have no trust in the kingdom or the empire, and they do not trust the ruling class.

Therefore, the future of a kingdom or empire can be seen from its monetary system.

Gain the trust of the people!
This is what Zhou Qing is doing now and will continue to do in the future.

Moreover, in Zhou Qing's opinion, collecting those gold, silver and copper and using them for the future development of the soul guide industry would be much better than using them as currency.

However, at this stage, we still have to rely on the existing monetary system on the mainland to complete the initial development and construction.

"Let's not talk about this for now."

Zhou Qing changed the subject and asked Xiao Wu, "Your soul power has reached level 40, right?"

"Just broke through yesterday."

Xiao Wu smiled proudly, but then she thought of Romantina's opening up of her inner world, and realized that even if she condensed her fourth soul ring, she would still be unable to match her, and she couldn't help feeling discouraged.

But she was an optimist, and quickly adjusted her mood, saying: "I haven't condensed my soul ring yet, I just want to wait for you to come back and analyze for me what to choose for the fourth soul skill?"

“That’s why I came here.”

Zhou Qing nodded, "Waist string, chest bow, and concentration. The first two look like physical skills, and the latter is mental, but they are actually strengthening skills. They strengthen your lumbar spine, thoracic spine, and cervical spine respectively. A complete 'bow' has been formed.

The next thing to do is to make this bow shoot real arrows.

But it is obvious that you are currently only suitable for close combat, so before this bow can shoot real arrows, it needs to be strengthened. "

Xiao Wu: "So?"

Zhou Qing didn't keep it a secret anymore and said, "For the fourth soul skill, choose Invincible Golden Body."

This soul skill can double Xiao Wu's strength and gain absolute defense within three seconds. The time will be increased by one second for every ten levels of soul power increase.

After the second refining, Zhou Qing thought that this would last longer.

"The invincible golden body, according to my speculation, is the embodiment of the bloodline of the soft bone rabbit clan, and you are a 100,000-year-old soft bone charm rabbit incarnation. The second process of refining the soul ring has the probability of allowing you to use the human body to exert the power of the soft bone charm rabbit's bloodline, and it is mainly based on the spine."

"To some extent, after completing the transformation, you have also undergone a secondary refinement of the spirit ring, which has given you some of the characteristics of a spirit beast. You have become a very special existence under the rules for spirit beasts."

"From the perspective of species classification, you are now both a human and a soul beast, but you are different from the half-human, half-soul beast like the mermaid. You are a completely new category."

Hearing this, Xiao Wu rolled her eyes.

If she didn't know Zhou Qing's philosophy, she would have just slapped him in the face and let him experience the friendship punch!

"This means that after reaching 100,000 years, the Soft Bone Rabbit will be unable to make any further progress due to the rules of the world. The transformation and evolution that has come to a standstill can continue in you."

"The invincible golden body is theoretically the direction in which the bloodline will continue to advance."

"Now that you have regained control of this skill, based on your spine, and continue to practice, maybe one day you can make the golden body normal."

At this point, Zhou Qing looked at Romantina again and said, "You can study with Xiao Wu."

"I?"

Romantina was puzzled, "Our martial spirits are all different!"

"They just look different on the surface, but they have something in common!"

Zhou Qing raised his thumb. "Your martial soul has completed a martial soul fusion with mine and has evolved a second time to become a nervous system. In addition to the brain, it also includes the spinal cord."

"Since Xiao Wu completed the second refining of her first spirit ring, the source of her power, her blood, and her qi, have radiated from her spine. The two are similar, and I even suspect that they are essentially the same."

"Therefore, if you two study this together, you may be able to develop a corresponding martial soul fusion technique and make progress together."

Xiao Wu thought for a while and nodded slightly: "Indeed, Romantina and I feel very similar. If I am the bone, she is the marrow."

Then, Zhou Qing continued, "And your fifth and sixth soul skills in the future must not be eight-segment throws or explosive eight-segment throws. These physical skills, when you integrate the skills of the first four soul rings, and based on the soft bone rabbit bloodline that originally belongs to you after the second refining, you can figure it out and regain control of it yourself. There is no need to waste two soul rings."

"So, it can only be the two skills of Teleport and Nothingness." Xiao Wu had a similar idea. After all, these two skills are related to space, and may help her open up the inner world before reaching the Soul Saint level. And the Eight-Section Throw and the Explosive Eight-Section Throw——

You can indeed practice on your own without wasting soul skill slots.

After all, she had mastered the Soft Bone Lock soul skill based on the Chest Bow and Waist String soul skills, so the Eight-Section Throw was not a problem for her at all.

"It is indeed to prepare you for opening up the inner scene in the future. This is the key, but at the same time, in terms of skills, it is also to enable you to have long-range combat capabilities." Zhou Qing said.

"How to say?"

Xiao Wu didn't understand why, with the two skills of Nothingness and Teleport, she had the ability to attack from a distance?

Nothingness can make her immune to all physical attacks and 50% of energy attacks.

Teleportation, as the name suggests, is moving regardless of distance. The distance can increase with the improvement of her soul power. As long as the soul power can keep up, there is almost no limit.

With these two abilities, doesn't it enhance her melee combat ability?
"Nothingness, the effect is achieved by changing your body, right? Then can only part of the body be made nothingness?" Zhou Qing asked.

"OK."

Xiao Wu is sure.

Before she transformed, Xiao Wu was able to use the energy generated by this skill to make only part of her hands and feet vanish. At that time, her mother taught her that her cultivation was not good enough and she could not make her whole body vanish.

"So, by making the wrists and arms invisible, can the teleportation skill only target the fists?" Zhou Qing asked again.

Xiao Wu: (⊙o⊙)…

Based on making part of the body void, fist?

At the moment of throwing a punch, the forearm or wrist enters a state of nothingness, and then the teleportation skill is used to make the fist appear on either side of the enemy.

When punching, he can make use of the amplification brought by the first four soul skills, or use the armed aura and stacked wave power.

A powerful enemy, seeing that you are firing at full power, will definitely cross his arms in front of him or condense a defensive energy spirit skill even if he cannot dodge.

However, with her full-powered fist, she can easily appear on any side of the enemy through the two skills of nothingness and teleportation.

In fact, as long as you understand the nature of the enemy's defensive soul skills during the battle, your own attacks can completely avoid colliding with the opponent's soul skills and directly hit the enemy's body.

"absolutely okay!"

Xiao Wu gave an affirmative answer.

Nothingness and teleportation, these two skills are derived from the Soft Bone Charm Rabbit itself. When acting as the Soft Bone Charm Rabbit, these two soul skills can be used at the same time.

Not to mention, nowadays, the soul ring can be refined for a second time, and the skills of the soul ring can be used at the same time.

Therefore, Zhou Qing's idea——

Xiao Wu felt that she could definitely achieve it.

"Okay then, I will condense the fourth soul ring now and obtain the skill of Invincible Golden Body." Xiao Wu was about to take action immediately, but was stopped by Zhou Qing.

"what happened?"

Xiao Wu was puzzled.

"Wait until tomorrow." Zhou Qing took out the Ocean Star. "This is a pearl bred by the Silver Shell. Ariel said that she could provide a soul master with a soul ring that best suits his martial soul. I want to understand the principle behind it. As for the process of you condensing the soul ring, I want to observe and record it in more detail and reproduce the process of condensing the soul ring."

"We need to break the rule that soul beasts will explode with soul rings and soul bones after death... You saw the general process of my trip to the Abyss Ruins with Romantina. Changes at the rule level will affect the entire system. Those who add rules will not care about these and will just let the world adapt on its own. This makes it difficult for those of us who want to change."

Zhou Qing sighed, "Therefore, for now, we can only find a replacement for the spirit ring, study the whole process of your condensing spirit ring, and understand the working principle of the Ocean Star, which may be the key."

"In other words, aura isn't the key to breaking the soul ring that explodes after the soul beast dies?" Xiao Wu frowned.

"What exactly does aura refer to? It's not completely clear yet, but perhaps we can determine it to a certain extent through comparison."

Zhou Qing had a lot of guesses about the aura, but it still needed to be further confirmed based on the process of soul ring condensation.

"Then let's start tomorrow!"

Xiao Wu suddenly felt full of energy.

As for not being able to break the rule of "soul ring", she didn't think it mattered. After all, to be honest, from the moment she chose to transform, she had already betrayed the soul beast clan.

but.

Xiao Wu has no regrets.

This world, after all, belongs to——

people!
Only humans can make this world a better place!
