Douluo: From Rusted Spear to Emperor-Slaying Spear

Chapter 8: Spear Transformed into Dragon

Ji Wuming touched his nose and said with a smile: "Director, my soul power has increased by three levels."

"Level three? How terrifying! Absorbing a spirit ring that's over two hundred years old, the speed at which the spirit power increases is so abnormal!"

Director Lu patted Ji Wuming's shoulder. He really didn't expect that just by absorbing soul rings of higher levels, he could increase his soul power by two additional levels. Is this the special feature of absorbing mutant soul beasts?

Ji Wuming looked at Director Lu's shocked expression and continued, "Director, I haven't finished yet. My first soul skill is called War Spear Dragon Transformation. It provides me with 30% physical defense, an additional 40% increase in the attack power of the Blood Spear, and comes with the War Spear Red Rust Poison."

"What a pity! Using my first soul skill consumes one-third of my soul power, and the amplification effect only lasts for three minutes."

Hearing this, Director Lu patted Ji Wuming on the back and said enviously,

"You're incredibly lucky, kid. You've even obtained such a rare double-amplification soul skill, yet you're still not satisfied. Although the soul power consumption is a bit huge, it's only temporary. Once you break through to the Grand Soul Master level, you'll be able to defeat some high-level Soul Lords or even Soul Sects with just the continuous use of your first soul skill."

Director Lu pointed to a two-meter-high black-veined stone in front of him and said casually,

"Xiao Ji, throw it towards the hard black stone in front of you. Let me see the specific effect of your first soul skill."

"it is good!"

Ji Wuming immediately clenched the blood spear in his hand and launched his first soul skill towards the black vein stone in front of him, which was as hard as the king of iron, black vein iron.

As the sound of breaking through the air was heard, the blood spear was thrown out like a blood dragon.

"boom--"

The nearly one-meter-long black stone was directly penetrated, and after a moment, multiple cracks began to appear on the surface of the black stone.
"Boom-"

The entire piece of black-veined stone shattered, and the black-veined fragments flew everywhere. The power generated by the shattering was no less than the explosion effect of a small mine.

Director Lu saw this, and the boss with a strong mouth almost showed an "O" shape, but he suppressed his envy and jealousy in an instant and said nonchalantly,

"This soul skill is quite powerful, right? If it can be combined with the basic spear skills you practiced before, its power will be even greater."

Upon hearing this, Ji Wuming also strongly agreed with Director Lu's statement. His first soul skill only had an amplification effect and did not have any moves to defeat the enemy. Only by combining it with the spear technique he practiced could he achieve the domineering effect of 1 plus 1 being greater than 2.

"Okay, now that you've obtained the appropriate spirit ring, then what we should do next..."

Director Lu was already rubbing his hands and heading towards the treasure mountain before he finished speaking. The golden soul coins were really attractive!

"I'm rich, I'm rich. I've never had so much wealth in my life."

Director Lu looked at Ji Wuming who was standing in front of the weapons pile and picked up a storage soul guide ring that was emitting blue light.

"You like these weapons and ores, right? There are still some in this storage soul guide. I'll give them all to you."

"Director, without your help, I would not be able to obtain such a good spirit ring. I don't want these treasures." Although Ji Wuming wanted these things very much, he also understood that he could not take all the benefits for himself. If these treasures, such as the ores and the broken weapons, were sold outside, they would be worth more than 10,000 gold soul coins.

"You are my student, and you provided me with all the information here. If I take it all, wouldn't that be a mean act?"

Director Lu directly put all the rare minerals, weapons and about 20% of the gold soul coins into the storage soul guide ring and handed it to Ji Wuming.
"Don't talk nonsense. You are one of my favorite students. Who else can I give it to if not you? Besides, I can't spend all this wealth in my lifetime."

"Thank you, Director. You are as bright as the stars in the sky, selflessly illuminating us. You are so great."

Director Lu was very happy when he heard this, but he still turned his head to glare at Ji Wuming and said seriously: "When did you learn to flatter? Be serious."

Ji Wuming happily put the storage ring on his left hand, and put the blood dragon's body into storage. He looked carefully at the blood spear spirit in his right hand.
"Whether our previous efforts will lead to complete and substantial success depends on this time."

With a thought, the Blood Spear Martial Soul ended its long-term out-of-body state. At this moment, Ji Wuming carefully felt the changes in the martial soul inside his body. When he felt that the Blood Spear Martial Soul still showed the appearance after obtaining the first soul ring, the huge stone hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground.
This also means that he no longer has to be like Ji Juechen ten thousand years later, constantly forging his martial soul and keeping it out of his body for life. At the same time, his martial soul will not be often revealed in front of others, and he can better hide his true strength.

As the sky was already dark and the blood dragon was dead, the snakes in the cave had lost their leader and were crawling aimlessly. When they felt the pressure from Soul Master, they all fled out of the cave.

The next day, the two of them left the island and returned to the academy at 3:30 pm. Director Lu led Ji Wuming to the dean's office.
"Dean, Dean, helping Xiao Ji obtain the spirit ring this time really opened my eyes!"

The dean looked at the extremely agitated Director Lu, coughed twice, and said, "Xiao Lu, don't forget your identity."

Director Lu immediately calmed down and said softly but excitedly, "Dean, do you know how old the spirit ring Xiao Ji absorbed is? It's a 630-year-old spirit ring, and it's from a mutant spirit beast, the Blood Dragon."

"What? A 630-year-old soul beast!"

The dean lowered his voice deliberately, but at this moment his heart couldn't help but skip a beat. He absorbed a 630-year-old mutant soul ring beyond his level. What kind of monster was this Ji Wuming?

He had traveled the continent for 20 years and had seen many geniuses and spirit masters from some powerful families. Even those spirit masters from powerful families who were born with strong physiques could only absorb energy for 423 to 450 years based on the years of their first spirit ring, and the maximum absorption limit was years.

But I didn't expect that someone could absorb a soul ring that was 423 years beyond the limit, a full two hundred years, at the first ring.

"Xiao Ji, are you willing to take me as your master?"

The dean walked up to Ji Wuming and made a sincere request to become his disciple.

Realizing that his actions were a bit abrupt and might easily scare Ji Wuming, the dean calmed down and said calmly,
"Xiao Ji, my name is Shui Wuliang, my martial soul is Ice Crystal Bird, and I am a Level 52 Soul King."

He then revealed his standard spirit ring configuration and an ice crystal bird appeared behind him. This action caused the temperature in the room to plummet to below zero, making Ji Wuming and Director Lu shiver with cold.

"Dean, you shouldn't be so aggressive. Xiao Ji is in our class. We have to follow the principle of first come first served. If you want to be his master, I have to wait for him first."

Director Lu expressed dissatisfaction with the somewhat forced apprenticeship behavior at this moment. When Ji Wuming first arrived at the academy, Shui Wuliang only paid a little attention to him, but he had taught him with real heart, and it was he who helped Ji Wuming obtain his first soul ring.
