Douluo: I use shadow to open Shura

Chapter 72 Mental Enhancement, Mental Interference, Spatial Distortion, Simulation

After successfully absorbing the purple soul ring of the Thousand-Year Ice Silkworm, Mo Yu quickly peeled off the Ice Silkworm's skin and then, without looking back, took Xiao Wu and prepared to go back.

The far north is different from other Soul Hunting Forests. In other places, people are more dangerous than soul beasts, but here the environment is more dangerous.

You can't stay here for too long, otherwise your body will lose its temperature, and you might lose your life if you're not careful.

Mo Yu washed the skin of the ice silkworm and originally intended to dress Xiao Wu in it, to take care of this girl.

But to everyone's surprise, Xiao Wu didn't like the Ice Silkworm's skin.

Perhaps she, as a soul beast in human form, is unwilling to do so.

Helpless, Mo Yu had no choice but to give his cotton-padded coat to Xiao Wu and put on the Ice Silkworm Skin himself.

It's worth mentioning that the Ice Silkworm's skin is icy cold, yet it effectively prevents Mo Yu from losing body heat, thus achieving effective insulation.

On the way back, Xiao Wu looked at Mo Yu, who was shielding her from the wind and snow, with great curiosity, and then asked.

"Boss Mo, was your experiment a success?"

"Of course!"

Mo Yu replied affirmatively.

Mo Yu was very satisfied with his second soul skill. He thought for a moment and said, "By the way, Xiao Wu, my second soul ring is yellow, and the name of the soul skill is Asura Phantom."

"what?"

"Oh."

Mo Yu's words left Xiao Wu somewhat bewildered, but after a short while, she realized what he meant and agreed.

"The yellow spirit ring is something you, Boss Mo, didn't intend to reveal for a thousand years about your second spirit ring, but what is the Asura Phantom?"

Xiao Wu asked curiously, "Isn't the soul skill that Boss Mo wants some kind of simulation? At most, he can learn the mental interference steps before the simulation, right?"
"Yes, my soul skill is simulation, but I also know other soul skills."

"Huh? One spirit ring can teach two spirit skills?"

Xiao Wu was even more bewildered. If other Soul Masters knew about Mo Yu's situation, the entire Douluo Continent would be shaken.

"Of course it's not two soul skills, it's not that exaggerated."

Mo Yu replied calmly, "Soul skills, or rather, soul ring skills, are similar to skills in old-school games; you can release them simply by pressing a button."

However, Mo Yu's current second soul ring's soul skill is a split-up of the simulated soul skill within it.

In other words, he can use simulation directly, or he can use other abilities separately.

Of course, he's not particularly strong in other areas either.

His simulated soul skill consists of four steps.

These are mental enhancement, mental interference, spatial distortion, and simulation.

Despite the impressive-sounding names, his spirit rings actually have the greatest effects in terms of mental enhancement and simulation.

His second spirit ring gave him a 20% increase in mental power, which was a mental enhancement. Then he used the Shadow of the Underworld to mentally interfere with the surrounding space, distorting it, and then simulated it.

The simulation is so realistic that it is difficult to distinguish from reality.

However, Xiao Wu's suspicions were also Mo Yu's own suspicions, but he certainly couldn't tell Xiao Wu about them.

What was he thinking?
Mo Yu felt that his simulated soul skill was most likely obtained by absorbing the simulated experience pack of the Thousand-Year Ice Silkworm and then mastering most of it himself.

He's already mastered most of it, so the extra experience should be used for other soul skills.

In other words, what was originally enough for a Soul Master to learn one Soul Skill with one Soul Ring has now become one and a half.

Mo Yu's mental enhancement is that half.

Unfortunately, Mo Yu had intended to learn all four steps of the soul skill. Given the abilities of a soul spirit, it didn't seem too far-fetched that Mo Yu would learn one and a half soul skills through a soul ring.

If it's a thousand-year-old spirit, it can have up to three spirit skills.

Mo Yu only mastered one and a half, which is still far from enough.

However, Mo Yu didn't lose out either, at least he verified this experiment, which shows that Soul Masters can choose the type of Soul Rings according to their own will, and that his Martial Soul can indeed obtain the memories of Soul Beasts and learn and master more Soul Skills.

In addition, he also successfully broke the record for the maximum age of a Soul Master's second Soul Ring.

Mo Yu himself is already a living example. If anything extraordinary happens to him in the future, Xiao Wu will probably think it's normal.

That's not normal at all; they're not even acting anymore.

Mo Yu himself had forgotten how coincidental it was that he absorbed the soul ring.

If he were to casually release his experience of successfully absorbing the second soul ring of a thousand years, it would probably kill countless geniuses.

"Wait a minute, Boss Mo, since your soul skill is simulation, why do you call it Asura Phantom?"

Xiao Wu didn't understand; she figured, "Let's just simulate it."

"Idiot, after I told you about the simulation, won't people think there's something wrong with my soul skill? What's the point of me summoning a white tiger phantom like the Ice Silkworm? Is it just to scare people?"

"But it's different if I say it's an Asura phantom. My simulation soul skill will specifically simulate a huge Asura armor phantom for myself, instead of simulating other phantoms."

"Furthermore, the darker and larger the Asura phantom is, the larger my shadow will be, and my martial spirit will be able to exert greater power with the help of the shadow."

"You also know that my Shadow of the Underworld has the chilling freezing power and the blinding power of darkness, plus the ability to enhance mental strength."

"Do you think if I use the Asura Phantom to strike the enemy directly, the enemy will feel a chill and become increasingly invisible?"

Mo Yu said all that just so that outsiders would think there was nothing wrong with his soul skills after seeing them.

Using the name of the Asura Phantom is simply to give his Netherworld Shadow the ability to attack.

In short, it means you don't have to hide yourself as much anymore.

Fortunately, Xiao Wu was also clever and quick-witted, and she soon understood what Mo Yu meant.

Of course, her thoughts were different from Mo Yu's.

Mo Yu knew that he had been hiding many abilities, such as the speed of his Netherworld Raven clone, which was comparable to the speed of a baseball, and the hardness of his clone, which was like that of a rock.

Xiao Wu was unaware of this. She only knew that Mo Yu's Netherworld Crow clone might also have offensive capabilities. The Asura Phantom was both real and illusory, and no one knew what the Asura Phantom was made of, whether it had powerful offensive capabilities, or whether it contained several Netherworld Crow clones.

"It feels really strange."

In the end, Xiao Wu only said this to Mo Yu from behind.

She sensed that many of Mo Yu's soul skills were currently illusory and not that powerful. Moreover, she increasingly felt that Mo Yu's purpose was simply to simulate soul skills, which seemed rather strange.

However, no matter what Xiao Wu thought, she could not have imagined that Mo Yu had planned to absorb spirit rings beyond his limits from the very beginning, and even planned that his fourth spirit ring would be a ten-thousand-year spirit ring.

Mo Yu's initial intention was simply to protect himself from assassination by powerful families.

But who could have imagined what the spirit rings would be like afterward? He even wanted a fourth spirit ring that would last for ten thousand years!

Only someone like Mo Yu, who had read the script, could have made such a plan.

What Mo Yu regrets the most is that the thousand-year-old ice silkworm does not have a soul core seed, and therefore does not have the ability to drop soul bones.

Therefore, at that time, Mo Yu had no choice but to decisively end the life of the Thousand-Year Ice Silkworm.

He's definitely not the main character.
