Douluo: I am ready to leave the Spirit Hall. The system will come.

Chapter 111 Sixth Soul Ring (Part )

Marquis Shanya's pupils shrank when he heard You Chen, who was wearing a mask, accurately tell him his side's information.

He naturally found out that the one hunting the Archaeopteryx this time was the recently rising assassin organization "Skynet". He was indeed somewhat surprised that this force had the ability to hunt the Archaeopteryx that had cultivated for more than 50,000 years.

But he has always been disdainful of killers, who are rats in the gutter. As a nobleman, he does not take such shady forces seriously at all.

There is a focus on etiquette and interests between nobles and soul masters.

A high-age soul beast with rare ancient bloodline is indeed precious, but is this enough for a small inner world organization to make up its mind to conflict with such a huge force?

Of course not.

You know, "Skynet" is a force active in the Star Luo Empire.

It would be fine if they usually hide in the undercurrent of the world, but if this kind of shady force dares to show up and compete with the forces of the surface world for interests, countless people will swarm up and beat them to death!

And he, the Marquis of Shanya and the Duke Antonio, will only be one of these forces.

As for silencing?

Don't be ridiculous.

The man in front of him was able to point out his own intelligence so accurately in such a short time. He was definitely not a brainless person.

When he said these words, he must have known that even if he killed everyone present, he would not be able to prevent the information from leaking out.

Because it was no secret that they were targeting Skynet's prey and trying to steal its results. There was no such thing as an impenetrable wall in this world, and even if they could keep it a secret for a while, it would soon become known to everyone in the upper echelons of the Star Luo Empire.

The result of this fight was that Skynet still existed, but the Marquis of Shanya and the son of Duke Antonio were missing? You can figure out what was going on!

Therefore, as long as Skynet still wants to survive in the Star Luo Empire, or even in the Douluo Continent, it cannot attack its own side!

What's more... they may not be our opponents.

It was precisely because of this thought that Marquis Shanya remained so confident after hearing what You Chen said to Ignis.

Then, Marquis Shanya heard——

"Everyone—volley!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh——!
Compared with last year, there were many more Soul Fighting Beasts with at least Soul Master combat power on this trip. More than fifty of them took out their Black Fire Crossbows and fired a volley, directly turning the dozen or so people wearing Imperial military uniforms on the opposite side into a hornet's nest.

Including the hostages, none of them escaped.

However, compared to the imperial soldiers' unwilling expressions, the hostages looked at Ignis with joy.

And Ignis, who had given the order to shoot his companions, did not even show the slightest sign of wavering.

There was only determination on her face.

'Soul Fighting Beasts is an organization that was born to change the situation of the beast mutants, but it is also an organization that was born for the interests of the leader! And the interests of the leader, the future represented by the leader, are the future of the beast mutants!'

This is Ignis' idea, and also the idea of ​​all the Soul Fighting Beasts!
In Ignis' mind, the most important thing for a leader is to figure out the purpose of his actions and the purpose of the organization's existence!

Once this is confirmed, all you need to do is to follow this direction and execute it unwaveringly!
There shouldn't be any hesitation in this process!
They came here to help the leader obtain the spirit ring! In this case, even if they are hostile to the empire, they must give top priority to helping the leader obtain the spirit ring!

Looking at Ignis's decisive order, You Chen slightly raised the corner of his mouth.

In fact, You Chen didn't care whether Ignis chose to avoid him or put his interests first.

Because even Youchen himself cannot determine which option is absolutely correct.

So no matter what Ignis chooses, You Chen will not blame her for it.

The important thing is, as a leader, to have the courage to make decisions!
Instead of hesitating, being crushed by pressure, and being intimidated by the opponent's momentum!

Ignis obviously gave an answer that satisfied You Chen.

The technology of the Black Fire Crossbow has not yet been innovated, however, even a Black Fire Crossbow from a year and a half ago can kill a Soul Emperor by surprise.

The distance between the two camps was only tens of meters, and with the firing speed of the Black Fire Crossbow, it would only take a moment.

None of the nearly twenty soldiers assembled by Marquis Shanya and Duke Antonio's legitimate son for this operation reacted.

Nearly twenty strong men from the weakest Soul King level to the highest peak Soul Emperor level were all killed in just a moment.

Only Marquis Shanya managed to survive, but he was also seriously injured.

Weapons like the Black Fire Crossbow are designed to attack humans, and are not effective against large creatures like soul beasts. However, if it can penetrate a human, basically one crossbow arrow can cause heavy damage to a large area.

After being targeted and pierced by dozens of crossbow arrows, Earl Shanya finally reacted and allowed the Wild Boar King's spirit to possess his body. He then turned around and tried to flee without hesitation, without even bothering to inform the Duke Antonio's legitimate son and others who were hunting the Archaeopteryx not far away.

Marquis Shanya felt a chill rushing to his head.

'How dare they? How dare they!? What assassin group? They are just a bunch of lunatics! The one who gave the order is a lunatic, the one who carried out the order without hesitation is a lunatic, and the man who seemed to have done nothing but handed the decision to the lunatic is also a lunatic! And what the hell are those weapons!? How can there be such a thing that can kill a Soul Emperor and severely injure a Soul Saint in a second if a Soul Master or Soul Sect member takes it!? '

Hun Fei was frightened and fled at full speed. With the speed of a Soul Saint, even if Marquis Shan Ya was a Soul Saint of the assault system, it would be difficult for the Soul Fighting Beasts to even aim at him.

Ignis stopped everyone from getting involved with a gesture. As she turned her eyes, the ethereal figure had grown beautiful white wings and quickly caught up.

Even before Marquis Shanya was injured, his speed was not as fast as You Chen, let alone after he was injured?

In just a few breaths, You Chen arrived in front of Marquis Shanya and looked into his eyes.

Marquis Shanya was already in a state of fright, his mental will was panicked and fragile, and under Youchen's Soul-Shocking Technique, he lost his sight in an instant and fell to the ground.

Killing a human soul master who is in a trance and unable to resist is much easier than killing a soul beast who is in a trance.

You Chen's dragon-transformed arm quickly performed a variant of the Wind Fist's soul skill "Wind Claw", which pierced through Marquis Shanya's chest neatly, ending his life in an instant.

After finishing all this, You Chen quickly returned to the crowd and ordered in a deep voice: "Your participation is no longer needed for what happens next. After erasing all traces at the scene, quickly return to the base camp, gather all the beast soldiers and beast masters who are out, and prepare to move positions. After I finish things here, I will also come to help as soon as possible. For a long time to come, all missions and intelligence gathering work will be stopped!"

Ignis' pupils shrank: "But, Chief, there are probably at least two Soul Saints in the Archaeopteryx. If we help, even if it's just me, we can..."

"This is the leader's order."

You Chen said calmly, staring at Ignis: "They need your protection, but I don't."

As soon as he finished speaking, You Chen's breath quickly disappeared.

Ignis gritted her teeth, unable to hide her unwillingness, but she turned around and said, "Everyone, evacuate quickly!"

……

On the other side, You Chen had restrained all his breath and quietly approached the place where the battle between soul beasts and soul masters was happening in the distance.

Such a huge accident would occur in this operation, and it might even lead to the destruction of the intelligence network built by Soul Fighting Beast over the years in one fell swoop. This was naturally beyond You Chen's expectations.

But... this kind of accident is difficult to avoid absolutely.

When soul beasts reach a certain age, they become absolutely rare resources, especially for soul masters with suitable attributes. They are absolute resources that must be fought for.

Since we use the intelligence network to collect information on target high-age soul beasts in order to reduce search time, it is inevitable that there will be a conflict with other soul masters one day.

It's just that there are only a few spirit rings, and the number of times they need to be hunted is only a few times. Some spirit masters just happen to have never encountered such a situation in their careers.

If you really want to feel resentful, you can only blame the heavens for not fulfilling your wishes. You Chen was not too upset, he quickly regained his calm state of mind, he knew that as time passed, Duke Antonio's legitimate son and others would definitely find out that Marquis Shanya and others had lost contact.

The reason why I didn't come over to check the situation now is probably because the battle is fierce and I have no time to take care of it.

It didn't take You Chen much time to quickly reach the edge of the human-beast battlefield.

It is obvious to the naked eye that Archaeopteryx is at a disadvantage.

It was constantly controlled by a control-type Soul Saint and several Soul Emperors, and was unable to break away from the battle line.

On the other hand, a handsome young man wearing platinum knight armor, with golden hair and holding a greatsword surging with storms, had extremely strong wind power surging around him. He attacked the Archaeopteryx again and again, leaving scars on its body.

But he himself was by no means unscathed.

From time to time, the Archaeopteryx would shoot out nearly invisible, silk-like air blades, attacking the knight in front of it again and again.

Use claws, beak, wings, tail, even feathers!

It seems as if the entire body of the Archaeopteryx is a launcher of air blades!
If the knights had not continued to use the strategy of attacking from the rear to save Zhao and took the initiative to withstand most of the damage, the soul masters responsible for assistance and control in the surrounding area would probably have been killed or injured by more than half in a short period of time.

Even so, casualties still occur from time to time.

This powerful and highly concealed air blade is the signature skill of Archaeopteryx, and it is the reason why You Chen chose it as his sixth soul ring.

After finding the perfect evolutionary ratio, You Chen decided to make the fifth, sixth and seventh rings of his large body all pure wind spirit rings.

There are actually quite a few types of soul beasts to choose from, but You Chen doesn’t really care about their specific soul skills.

Especially for the fifth and sixth rings, You Chen did not demand extremes and perfection.

He chose Arc'teryx for no other reason than because it was of the right age and had good qualities in all aspects. As for obtaining the opponent's unique skill of air blade, it was just a bonus.

After achieving the level of Yan's martial soul talent in terms of his control over his own soul skills, You Chen can also increase the speed of practicing wind attribute changes or form changes by referring to soul ring soul skills.

The Arc'teryx's air blade can be said to be an extreme change in the nature of wind.

Of course, obtaining the Air Blade could make You Chen stronger, but without it, changing to another soul skill wouldn't make him much weaker.

You Chen did not explain this to Ignis to interfere with her judgment.

Because it is true that it is better to use the Archaeopteryx soul ring. Compared with the choice of one level lower, his strength at this stage may be weakened by 20% to 30%. Looking to the future, his strength may eventually be weakened by less than 10%.

But sometimes it is really hard to tell whether a 10% change in strength that cannot be seen in the long run will lead to a change in the ending of the story.

And some things, once they have been done, should of course be done to the end.

When the Archaeopteryx was weakened again, it was most likely that You Chen used the Soul-Shocking Technique on the first moment when the Armored Knight of the Duke Antonio's legitimate son was about to contact the Marquis of Shanya... followed by Feng Yundong!

You Chen didn't even plan to use the Fengliu Claw. In order to prevent the Duke's legitimate son from hiding some high-tech life-saving soul guide device, he directly used his most powerful killing move!
After taking strength pills, speed pills and other elixirs, You Chen's attack was so powerful that even a Soul Douluo would not dare to take it!

A group of soul masters were so frightened when they saw You Chen suddenly appearing and trying to take their master's life that the soul saint immediately gave up the control of Archaeopteryx and used his strongest control move on You Chen through the air, trying to reverse You Chen's offensive.

However, this time You Chen didn't even bother to look at it, and took the attack from the Soul Saint head-on, completing the perfect fusion of Feng Yun Dong!

What scared the Soul Saint was that his full-strength attack on You Chen not only failed to change his offensive, but he also failed to break his defense!

Even if he was only a Control-type Soul Saint, even if he had used this move in a hurry, the opponent's defense was too terrifying, right? A Defense-type Soul Saint! ? But how did a Defense-type Soul Saint manage to sneak in here without anyone noticing, and how did he easily freeze his master in place! ?
Before the Soul Saint could figure it out, You Chen's Fengyundong had already been used.

For a moment, heaven and earth were silent.

The knight in armor had his head blown off!

Even before You Chen's fist was about to land on his head, an inexplicable golden light suddenly lit up. In the face of this terrifying power, it still failed to stop You Chen even for a moment!
It only took a moment for You Chen to suddenly appear and kill the duke's son who possessed the power of a Soul Sage.

But at this moment, there was a creature that reacted faster than anyone else!
When Archaeopteryx saw that the person who posed the greatest threat to it suddenly stopped attacking, and the person who had imposed the greatest restrictions on it also shifted its target, it immediately seized this opportunity and burst out with all its strength.

There were so many overwhelming air blades that even if only one was so tiny that it could not be seen at all, with so many of them, it was naturally clearly visible!
In just a moment, all the soul masters present except You Chen and the control-type soul saint were pierced by the air blade and died instantly!
“Slurp slurp!!!”

Archaeopteryx cried loudly and flew into the sky regardless of the blood flowing from its body!
In response, You Chen seemed to have hurriedly shot out the Roar of the Wind Dragon, but it just barely grazed the Archaeopteryx's tail feathers, and ultimately failed to stop the soul beast from fighting desperately.

"I am willing to be your slave and servant, and from now on I will regard you as my master. Can you spare my life?!"

Looking at this murderer who suddenly appeared and caused the annihilation of his entire army, the Control-type Soul Saint, who was pierced by many air blades and still bleeding, suddenly spoke out.

Compared to his own misery, You Chen took the air blade head-on and only suffered minor injuries.

Naturally, this control-type Soul Saint wisely chose to offer his loyalty.

But You Chen did not need the loyalty of a guy whose background he had no idea about, so he chose to fight without saying a word.

The outcome of the battle speaks for itself.

As expected of a Soul Saint who could serve as a guest official in Antonio's family, even without You Chen using the Soul Shocking Technique, he managed to hold on for several minutes before dying.

The reason why You Chen didn't use the Soul-Shocking Technique was very simple.

With his remaining mental strength, in order to prevent any problems with his clone in Notting City, using the Soul Shocking Technique once more would be almost the upper limit for a Soul Sage-level being.

And this last time... of course it will be left to Arc'teryx.

That seemingly useless roar of the wind dragon was certainly not aimless.

Just like he did to Hu Liena, You Chen also left a spiritual mark on Archaeopteryx.

To maintain the mental imprint, it is inevitable to consume mental energy. This is one of the reasons why You Chen does not use the Soul-Shocking Technique on the Control-type Soul Saint.

"After working so hard for so long, it's finally time to reap the rewards"

Even with You Chen's patience, he couldn't help but sigh.

Now that the location of Archaeopteryx has been obtained and there are no other obstacles, and Archaeopteryx is now seriously injured and dying, the next harvest is a natural thing to do.

Just four hours later, You Chen completed the hunting of Archaeopteryx and the absorption of its spirit ring.

"The sixth soul skill, Air Blade, was successfully obtained!"

You Chen, who was sitting cross-legged on the spot, suddenly opened his eyes and smiled faintly.

Then he stretched out his hand and a deep black soul ring started to rotate. Countless barely detectable thin sharp blades appeared out of thin air and plowed the ground in front of him into powder in an instant.

70,000-year soul ring soul skill, air blade. As a soul ring soul skill, soul masters naturally cannot be as free as soul beasts in sending and receiving air blades, and can freely control whether it is one or hundreds of air blades. Once used, it is close to the output of the last burst of Archaeopteryx.

However, with You Chen's soul power control, he was able to quickly "automaticize" this soul skill and achieve the most basic use. In a sense, it was equivalent to being able to control it autonomously like the Archaeopteryx, but the upper limit was not high for the time being.

In addition to soul skills, the Star Skeleton Dragon Martial Soul has also been strengthened accordingly. In terms of speed bonus alone, it has probably reached "quasi-super performance". Coupled with the improvement of the fifth soul ring, the Star Skeleton Dragon Martial Soul's score has entered the top realm.

Of course, scores are scores and quality is quality. You Chen can feel that the origin of his martial soul has not undergone any essential sublimation and still belongs to the high-level martial soul level.

You Chen was naturally very satisfied with the result and couldn't help but hum softly.

However, there was an unexpected surprise when absorbing the soul ring this time.
