Douluo: Wuhun Longyuan Sword, I have become the scabbard

Chapter 5: First Soul Skill: Wood's Tenacity

Unable to stay in the Soul Hunting Forest for long, Ding Quan and the teacher quickly returned to the academy.

After seeing his information appear in this year's enrollment information column, Ding Quan also understood why the academy had invited a Soul Master to help him hunt souls.

The holidays are about to begin, which means that another batch of children of school age have awakened their martial spirits. This junior soul master academy uses the fact that it takes two years to become a soul master and that they have a hundred-year soul ring as an enrollment advertisement.

However, this should also be the reason why the academy arranged for Teacher Hun Zun to help with soul hunting, and Ding Quan did not say much about it.

He originally planned to go soul hunting alone, but gave up the idea after learning that Soul Master was helping him.

Although the weapons were made, there was no Soul Master to help with insurance.

Ding Quan came to the grove outside the dormitory, intending to confirm the relationship between the scabbard and the Longyuan Sword after he obtained the spirit ring, although it was almost confirmed.

With a clench of his right hand, the transformed Longyuan Sword appeared in his hand, and a yellow soul ring appeared under Ding Quan's feet.

Ding Quan also carefully observed the changes of the Longyuan Sword.

The originally dark golden hilt became even darker, and the previously snow-white blade seemed to be covered with a layer of light ink.

Now it no longer had the chilling feeling it had before, but Ding Quan knew it was still sharp enough, just hiding its edge.

The lines on the blade had turned ink-black, matched with the now dull hilt.

Ding Quan nodded with satisfaction. The Longyuan Sword was no longer as dazzling as before.

It seems that after absorbing this wood-attributed soul ring, its gold-attributed characteristics were suppressed.

Putting the Longyuan Sword horizontally, Ding Quan grabbed the tip of the sword and bent it hard. After Ding Quan used all his strength, the sword blade had some slight amplitude.

Ding Quan was very satisfied seeing this scene. Although the toughness of the Longyuan Sword had increased, its rigidity had not weakened.

After taking a look at a large rock not far away, Ding Quan chopped towards it directly.

Boom! Rocks splashed.

The sword blade cut directly into the stone several centimeters, but Ding Quan didn't feel anything unusual.

It seems that the problem of his martial soul's toughness has been solved, and the Longyuan Sword is no longer afraid of colliding with other hard objects.

Thinking of soul skills, Ding Quan’s first soul skill is very special.

After a soul master absorbs a soul ring, he can know the effect of the soul skill just by sensing it.

Ding Quan called this soul skill the Toughness of Wood.

The Longyuan Sword acquired the extremely strong toughness of the bamboo, and Ding Quan touched the strong muscles on his body and found that his physical strength had increased significantly.

It seems that the scabbard has acquired its hard characteristics.

After all, it took Ding Quan more than ten minutes to chop this bamboo, which was only the size of an adult's thumb, with the Longyuan Sword, and its texture was absolutely hard.

After absorbing the soul ring, his height suddenly increased to over 1.4 meters, and the clothes on his body also became much smaller. The soul ring did have a great impact on the development of the body.

Moreover, I can feel that my body is growing, my height is increasing rapidly, and my strength is still increasing.

Ding Quan is not sure about his current physical fitness level and needs to find an opponent to confirm it.

Then he looked at the effect of the soul skill, passively reducing the damage he received by 30%, and actively releasing it to remove the negative effects on his body.

There is a limit to removing negative effects, but it can be enhanced as one's own level increases. After all, the scabbard is integrated with oneself, and the strengthening of one's body is also a disguised strengthening of the martial soul.

Although this soul skill did not gain attack power, Ding Quan was very satisfied with it.

Thinking that his body would be strengthened by releasing his martial spirit, Ding Quan picked up a wooden stick and hit his thigh hard.

Thanks to his powerful and precise control of mental strength, Ding Quan has extremely accurate control over the power he uses.

Hiss~Haha! Ding Quan felt the damage he had sustained, and although it was painful, he soon started laughing.

As he expected, the actual effect of his soul skill was much stronger than he perceived.

He only took about 60% of the damage. It seems that the damage reduction of his first soul skill has reached about 40%. After being possessed by the scabbard of the Dragon Abyss Sword, the effect of his soul skill has been enhanced.

Ding Quan took a look at the golden dragon tattoo on his body. He was in a state of half-martial spirit possession, which was the true form of his innate half-instrument spirit.

The biggest reason why Soul Sage is the watershed of the strong is that he possesses the true body of martial soul.

After using this skill, the first few soul skills will be greatly enhanced, and the cooldown will be greatly reduced.

It seems that this is most likely the reason why the effect of my soul skill has increased.

The damage reduction increased from 30% of the soul skill to 40% in reality, which is a huge difference.

With three levels of damage reduction, the opponent needs to increase his damage by more than 40% to cause the original damage to Ding Quan.

But now the opponent needs to improve by more than 60%, and such a soul skill is difficult to achieve with a hundred-year soul ring.

Feeling the strength of his body now, it is difficult for ordinary soul masters' soul skills to pose a threat to him.

As expected, it is a good idea to choose a bamboo-type soul beast as the first soul ring, and it basically obtains all the characteristics of the wood attribute.

The wood attribute has the ability to adapt to the environment flexibly because of its characteristic of growing in straight and curved lines. Moreover, bamboo is not suitable for growing by the sea. The fact that it can survive on the coast shows that it has strong adaptability. It is reasonable for it to obtain such a soul skill.

The ability to remove negative effects will greatly reduce the opponent's control capabilities.

Seeing the effect of this soul skill, Ding Quan became more convinced that the soul master's spiritual will can influence the creation of soul skills.

Ding Quan was somewhat surprised that this soul skill actually had a passive effect. Thinking that as long as he used his martial soul, it would be equivalent to being possessed by the scabbard, he had some guesses.

It seems that the soul skills I acquired later basically have this effect.

In this case, I cannot be careless when choosing the soul beast I will choose. I must choose a soul beast with extremely outstanding attribute power.

This way you can gain the advantages of its attributes and enhance yourself.

Ding Quan came to the Spirit Hall in Binhai City and met an acquaintance, Deacon Yun, who had awakened Ding Quan's spirit.

He was awakening the martial spirits for other people. Ding Quan did not go forward to disturb him, but instead received the gold soul coins and left.

Ding Quan held a gold soul coin in his hand. The Spirit Hall was indeed good to low-level soul masters.

In this era, there are not many soul masters who dare to do evil because of the supervision of the Spirit Hall.

Looking at this gold soul coin, Ding Quan put away his thoughts. Ten thousand years later, evil soul masters would wreak havoc. Although the continent was in turmoil now, the civilians were still relatively safe.

But he is indeed short of money now. He put away the gold soul coins and decided to make money. There is a place where he can get money. Ding Quan also needs to confirm how far his strength can go.

A month later.

"The Lone Wolf's six-game winning streak ends here! Let us congratulate Mo Jian on his fifth consecutive victory."

"Damn it! This lone wolf can't even beat a kid!"

"Haha! I won the bet. Mo Jian did a great job."

"This Mo Jian is so strong, and he won so easily."

"Yeah, this Mo Jian doesn't seem to be using his sword."

"Shit! Money!"

On the fighting arena, the masked Ding Quan put away the Longyuan Sword in his hand and retracted the foot that had kicked the opposing soul master away.

Many people in the stands shouted excitedly, with a mixture of anger and joy.

After taking a look at the spirit master who was kicked away, Ding Quan slowly walked out of the fighting arena. After the past few days of fighting, Ding Quan also had a rough idea of ​​his own strength. The nineteenth-level spirit master had no power to resist him.

Although their martial spirits are not strong, the strength of those fighting in this great fighting arena will not be too weak, and the opponent's soul power level is much higher.

However, as the winning streak increases, the opponent's strength will also increase. Today, a soul master with six consecutive wins was directly arranged to be his opponent.

This is Water City, not far from Binhai City, and its prosperity far exceeds that of Binhai City.

Because there is a large fighting arena here that only top cities have.

Ding Quan was not clear about the power behind the Great Soul Fighting Arena, but since it was able to spread across the Douluo Continent, its strength was definitely not weak, even if it was not as strong as the top three sects. Not many people dared to cause trouble here.

Here, if you have the ability, you can make money quickly.

Ding Quan came to the settlement counter and collected the gold soul coins he won from his soul fighting victories and bets.

In just a few days, I earned hundreds of gold soul coins. The money came in really quickly.

In the next soul fighting arena, the opponents arranged will become stronger and stronger. After all, this soul fighting arena will arrange opponents with similar points.

Ding Quan didn't care about this. These soul masters posed no threat to him.

I won't stay here for too long. I will stop once I get enough gold soul coins to buy a storage soul guide.

It is very convenient to have a storage soul guide, as you can carry some things with you.

This won’t take much time. Now that the amount of Gold Soul Coins has increased, the speed of betting to win Gold Soul Coins will become faster, even if the interest rate will become lower.

At the current pace, I only need to play a few games.

He has enough confidence in his own abilities and goes all-in every time he places a bet.

"Ding Quan, it looks like you won again."

In a restaurant, Yu Gang watched Ding Quan order a table full of dishes. He returned the gold soul coins to him because he was shocked by Ding Quan's strength.

Who are the people fighting in the great fighting arena?

They are all people who are relatively confident in their own abilities. Although they won't lose anything if they lose the fighting spirit, not everyone dares to participate.

They were fighting spirits directly with spirit masters of the same level. Ding Quan had just obtained his first spirit ring and his spirit power was only level eleven. The spirit power levels of his matched opponents were all higher than his, sometimes even seven or eight levels higher.

Such a gap is huge. Yu Gang is very clear that when facing a soul master with the same yellow first soul ring as himself, if the opponent's soul power level is one or two levels higher, he will find it difficult to deal with it.

"Fortunately, the opponent I met was not strong." Ding Quan smiled.

"Ding Quan, you are indeed a genius."

"Brother Gang, how are you doing?"

Ding Quan didn't say much on this topic, but asked about Yu Gang's situation.

After obtaining his first soul ring, Yu Gang missed the registration period for the Intermediate Soul Master Academy, so he did not go to school for a year.

Now is the time for the academy to recruit students, so Yu Gang and Ding Quan came to Water City together and found an intermediate soul master academy to enroll in.

Ding Quan saw that Yu Gang didn't seem to be doing well.

"Hey, Water City is much more prosperous than Coastal City. The academy has no shortage of students. You know my talent, and since I was delayed for a year, I'll need to pay a lot more gold soul coins to enroll."

Yu Gang's innate soul power is only level one. Although he is strong, he really has no talent.

"Is that so?" Ding Quan seemed to understand. "How about you do me a favor and I'll pay you with gold soul coins?"

"Just tell me what you need!"

"Become my teammate. When the fighting spirit wins, take your share of the reward. I'll also give you a little reward."

"You want me to team up with you to participate in a double spirit battle?"

"That's right, leave it to me, I'm sure to win!"

Each person can only participate in one single-player battle in the Grand Battle Arena each day, but can team up with others to participate in multiplayer battles.

Ding Quan looked at Yu Gang. With his participation, he would be able to obtain gold soul coins faster.

At night, everything was quiet, but the fighting arena was still bustling with people.

"Next up, a doubles duel will be held on the sixth fighting arena! The newly registered sword and sword team will face off against Iron Bull and Hummer, a regular at the fighting arena! Please prepare yourselves."

Listening to the broadcast outside, Ding Quan used hundreds of gold soul coins to bet on the sword and knife combination to win.

Yu Gang, who was standing aside, had his eyes popping out.

This is a big bet with all the gold soul coins at stake.

And after taking a look at the odds, I found that the other party was a frequent visitor to the fighting arena and had considerable strength, so the odds were very high.

Yu Gang calculated that if he won this game, he could get nearly two thousand gold soul coins.

But is Ding Quan so confident? He can't deal with any of them.

"let's go."

Wearing masks, Ding Quan took Yu Gang to the No. 6 fighting arena with ease.

One of the opponents was much taller than Yu Gang, and the other had a strong and sturdy build.

It's a classic power and speed combination.

"Both sides release their martial spirits, the fighting begins!" The referee and host gave an order, and Ding Quan clenched his right hand. The Longyuan Sword appeared in his hand, and a yellow spirit ring emerged.

There is also a yellow soul ring under the feet of the Iron Ox Hummer, but the color is lighter.

"Old Ma, it's Mo Jian!" The Tie Niu martial spirit possessed his body, and his body grew bigger again, his height exceeding two meters. He looked at the Longyuan Sword in Ding Quan's hand and said to Hummer.

He is indeed a regular customer.

"He is very strong. You hold him back and I will deal with his teammates first." Possessed by the Hummer Martial Spirit, his body seemed to be lifted up by the wind and ran towards Yu Gang at a rapid speed.

"I understand." Tie Niu stared at Ding Quan, then rushed over.

Looking at the iron bull rushing towards him, Ding Quan went straight to meet him.

"Brother Gang, just delay for a while, I'll deal with him quickly, trust me."

A word came into Yu Gang's ears, and the Hummer had already rushed in front of him quickly.

"First Soul Skill: Sharp Edge!"

Yu Gang directly used his only soul skill, and a burst of soul power suddenly surged out of his two-handed sword, and the blade became sharp.

He swung hard at the Hummer, but the Hummer reacted quickly and dodged the attack.

The soul ring under his feet flashed, and an airflow was generated under his feet while he ran, making his speed much faster.

Although Yu Gang's two-handed sword looked powerful, it was too slow and was hit by the Hummer in a few hits. Fortunately, he was strong and could withstand it.

Tie Niu is now doubting his life as his strength is suppressed by a child whose height cannot even reach his chest.

Seeing that he was about to retreat, Tie Niu roared and took a few steps back, with the soul ring under his feet flashing.

A metallic luster appeared on his body, and he charged towards Ding Quan again.
