Douluo: I use shadow to open Shura

Chapter 73 Mo Yu's Growth

A few nights later, Mo Yu and Xiao Wu returned to the small town on the edge of the far north, booked a hotel again, checked into a room, and lay down on the bed with Xiao Wu.

In these days, Mo Yu has also come to understand the changes in his martial soul.

First, there's the shadow figure. Because it absorbed a mental-type soul skill, the shadow figure's intelligence has increased.

Mo Yu is already able to command the shadowy figures to do things independently, somewhat like a low-budget version of the Shadow Legion.

However, since Mo Yu's Netherworld Shadow was not significantly enhanced, Mo Yu's shadow remained the same size as before, only the size of three human figures.

That's equivalent to three shadowy soldiers.

However, because Mo Yu's soul skill increases mental strength, Mo Yu also gained a lot of power from his original martial soul.

He felt that his mental power had also been passively strengthened by 20%, at least the simulated soul skill of the Ice Silkworm that he had seen before was in his mental sea.

He was able to freely enter the spiritual sea on his own.

If Mo Yu had read the later Douluo novels, he would know what level his mental strength was.

A pale red spiritual ocean—this is the Spiritual Sea Realm, where spiritual power is as vast as the ocean.

Of course, Mo Yu couldn't be so sure; he might have only gained the ability to enter the spiritual sea by chance.

Just like Mo Yu's Netherworld Eye, which emits a faint purple electric light, it has also been enhanced by mental power and possesses the soul skill of mental enhancement.

That's right. In addition to getting a second spirit ring for his martial soul, Mo Yu's Netherworld Eye has also evolved this time.

Originally, the Netherworld Eye only had a basic ability to see through soul power. However, through Mo Yu's daily absorption of moonlight, the Netherworld Eye also gained the ability to focus the mind.

Now, Mo Yu's Netherworld Eyes truly possesses a soul skill.

The first soul skill is mental enhancement. Perhaps it is because Mo Yu absorbed the second soul ring, or perhaps it is because the Netherworld Eye itself also has the ability to concentrate. It is just a simple step of evolution.

In short, the spiritual enhancement of the Netherworld Eye is independent of Mo Yu's martial soul ring.

Currently, the mental enhancement of the Netherworld Eye is 20%. This mental enhancement will increase as Mo Yu's number of soul rings increases, with each additional soul ring increasing it by 10%.

The second soul skill is Moonlight Divine Light, which uses mental power to release moonlight and directly attack the soul master's spirit.

This move is equivalent to Tang San's Purple Extreme Divine Light, but Mo Yu is not interested in such a simple attacking soul skill. He is more interested in strengthening his own soul skills.

In summary, this time, by absorbing the spirit ring, his spirit ring can increase his mental strength by 20%, the passive effect of his Shadow Body Martial Soul can increase his mental strength by 20%, and the Netherworld Eye can increase his mental strength by 20%.

The increase is achieved three times in total. When used together, the result is not simply added together, but multiplied, resulting in a 1.728-fold increase.

Such a multiplier is already terrifying, and his Netherworld Eye and Shadow passive skills will continue to grow stronger as he progresses.

When Mo Yu says he is a pure spirit-type soul master, I doubt anyone will be able to object.

Then there's the change in the Beast Shadow. Since the Ice Silkworm Soul Ring doesn't significantly enhance physical strength, the Beast Shadow's strength naturally doesn't improve much either.

Even Mo Yu's body remained almost unchanged.

If it were a thousand-year-old Netherworld Raven, Mo Yu would probably have grown even taller.

However, while his physical abilities didn't improve much, his mental strength was shared, so Mo Yu's perception ability naturally increased by 20%.

This ability is just too difficult to describe; even the strongest perception cannot reach the level of a qualitative change.

In addition to improved perception, Mo Yu's reaction speed has also been enhanced due to the strengthening of her mental power.

Combined with his perception abilities, Mo Yu believed that his reaction speed was probably unmatched among Soul Masters of the same level.

Don't underestimate the importance of reaction speed. For a control-type Soul Master like Mo Yu, who is not good at melee combat, reaction speed is crucial.

With his reaction speed, even if his body doesn't have time to move, he can still use his soul skills to counterattack and stop the enemy's attack.

This is the source of his confidence that he will be invincible among his peers in the future, and even be able to fight multiple strong opponents of the same level at the same time.

Mo Yu didn't want to end up like Tang San, who, despite acquiring countless good items, felt like the boss in the novel, while others were fighting a boss with top-tier equipment, far exceeding their level.

Think about it: could Tang San fight multiple Soul Masters of the same level simultaneously? He couldn't even defeat two gods at the same time. Other novel protagonists, after becoming Level One Gods, couldn't even kill two Level One Gods?

To be honest, even Zhao Wuji looks more like a protagonist than Tang San. At least Zhao Wuji once defeated multiple Spirit Hall experts of the same level as him, which is why he earned the title of Immovable King.

Finally, and most importantly for Mo Yu, is the artifact shadow.

The days of complete control are over.

His control over the artifacts is now incredibly versatile; he can simulate whatever he wants them to be.

If it weren't for the fact that using a soul skill is currently less powerful than using it for attack, he would definitely develop a self-created soul skill for himself.

However, despite saying that, he already had an idea.

That is the phantom of Asura, and then the artifact image is filled in, making it a physical phantom.

Hmm? If you think about it that way, it can no longer be called a phantom; it's more like an Asura's Dharma form.

As for why Mo Yu called himself the Asura Dharma Image, it's because he wanted to become the Asura God.

However, since Mo Yu has never seen the Asura God, he can only borrow the appearance of the Asura Armor for now and then condense a huge Dharma image similar to Susanoo.

If Mo Yu wants to become the God of Asura, he must survive in the City of Slaughter and pass the test.

Since that's what she's thinking, Mo Yu is definitely going to work hard to perfect this self-created soul skill, Asura Dharma Form.

First and foremost, he definitely needs to strengthen his Netherworld Shadow.

This time, the second spirit ring is the Ice Silkworm's spirit ring, which strengthens Mo Yu's mental power, but does not significantly enhance the strength of the Netherworld Shadow, and the strength of the weapon shadow is naturally not high either.

However, he had already decided on his third spirit ring, which was to maximize the strength of the Netherworld Shadow and the elemental power.

"Boss Mo, how strong is your Netherworld Shadow now?"

Suddenly, in the hotel room, Xiao Wu, wrapped in a blanket, looked at the ceiling and asked curiously.

"How strong is it? It must have offensive capabilities."

After saying that, Mo Yu quietly summoned the Shadow of the Netherworld, which transformed into a black tentacle and then wrapped around Xiao Wu.

Suddenly, Xiao Wu, wrapped in a blanket, trembled and got goosebumps all over her body.

"Hey, Boss Mo, what are you doing?"

Xiao Wu cried out in a mournful voice, frozen by the shadow of the Netherworld.

That is to say, Xiao Wu is now a spirit-type soul master, otherwise she would definitely be like Wang Hao, who was tested on Mo Yu, feeling cold and weak all over, and then collapsing to the ground (on the bed).

"Got it? I haven't even used my soul skill yet."

Mo Yu smiled slightly; his Netherworld Power was growing stronger and stronger.

Without the help of external spirit rings, he managed to grow his Netherworld power by absorbing moonlight every night.

If he hadn't absorbed the moonlight, he would have had to choose a spirit beast spirit ring with the Netherworld attribute for his second spirit ring in order to have the Netherworld power he has now.

"Tch, Boss Mo, you're a level 23 Great Soul Master."

Xiao Wu looked indignant; in just a few days, she had fallen six levels behind Mo Yu.

This was unbearable for the competitive Xiao Wu.

"Alright, alright, Xiaowu, you are a year younger than me after all."

Because he had gone out to hunt souls, Mo Yu just wanted to rest. He said perfunctorily, "Let's sleep first. Let's figure out how to hunt souls here and make a living in the next few days."

Mo Yu also needed to find an excuse for Xiao Wu's second soul ring, so he decided to stay in this far north for the rest of his days.
