Douluo: Lord of Arms

Chapter 10: Refining the Soul
Her eyes were closed, as if she were lost in some deep meditation, or perhaps accumulating energy ready to explode. Her smooth golden hair cascaded down like a waterfall, gleaming with the dazzling luster of the sun, adding a touch of sacredness and inviolability to her.

Just like that, she stood there quietly, like a perfect statue, emitting desirable beauty and power.

She was clad in a suit of armor, both simple and dazzling, engraved with intricate and delicate patterns, like the veins of history, permeating every inch of her skin. The longsword she clutched tightly in her hand seemed imbued with a mysterious power, faintly flickering with a dazzling glimmer.

It is 15 centimeters in size and looks like an exquisite figurine.

Wow! The person who designed this metal spirit must be an 2D person.

This has even reached another world!
As if sensing Lin Xingyu's gaze, the light emitted by the figure became more intense, as if expressing something.

"I know that deep within you lies a desire to evolve, a yearning to become a complete being. Rest assured, I will soon accept you as my first soul, and I promise to nurture you with all my might, helping you transform so that you can fully blossom into the splendor of life!"

Above the metal soul, light surged and the flow rate became faster and faster.

Lin Xingyu gently unscrewed the seal of the soul ball.

The metallic soul gracefully emerged from the soul sphere. Its body, reflected against the outside world, suddenly expanded from its original fifteen centimeters to thirty centimeters, resembling a miniature metallic god of war. Simultaneously, the surrounding fire and gold elements, as if responding to some mysterious call, rapidly converged, their light radiating brilliantly and weaving together to create a brilliant glow.

At the same time, a sharp and blazing sword light suddenly condensed on the long sword.

The sword pointed directly at Lin Xingyu.

At this moment, Lin Xingyu was suddenly possessed by his martial spirit, and an unparalleled sharp and fiery aura suddenly spread out, shaking every inch of space around him.

The sword light that had been swiftly thrusting towards Lin Xingyu suddenly seemed to encounter an invisible obstacle and paused involuntarily. At the same time, it seemed to sense a familiar yet confusing aura, as if it were trapped in a deep fog, appearing confused and hesitant.

The metal soul swayed lightly in the air, like a dancing elf.

Lin Xingyu's lips curled up slightly, and he gracefully extended a hand, as if welcoming a wandering child home, firmly supporting the suspended metal spirit. Feeling Lin Xingyu's warm and powerful aura, the metal spirit trembled slightly at first, but ultimately chose to obey without the slightest intention of resistance.

Witnessing this scene, Lin Xingyu slowly mobilized the gentle and delicate soul power in his body, which gently overflowed from his palm and flowed out like a trickle of water.

When this soul power was sensed by the metal soul, the metal soul hesitated for a moment, then turned into a bright stream of light and silently merged into Lin Xingyu's body.

Lin Xingyu's mind moved, as if a blessing came to his mind. He sat upright with his five hearts facing the sky, and instantly immersed himself in meditation, and began to refine the original power of the soul wholeheartedly.

At this moment, a subtle consciousness quietly seeped into Lin Xingyu's heart. It was a complex feeling that blended a variety of emotions such as intimacy, fear, desire, dependence and happiness, which were intertwined and difficult to describe.

Lin Xingyu opened his heart and accepted her sincerely, letting her presence blow through his world as gently as a spring breeze.

In an instant, the red-gold light bursting out from Lin Xingyu's body became more and more dazzling. The intricate and delicate golden patterns on the red-gold armor he was wearing seemed to be endowed with fresh vitality, and began to slowly spread and grow, like a vivid golden scroll unfolding.

It seems to be outlining a new pattern.

At this moment, Lin Xingyu's mind flashed, and he instantly entered the wondrous realm of "Higher Dimensional Vision." He slowly activated the Star Breathing Technique, allowing each breath to blend perfectly with the rhythm of meditation. The two complemented each other, creating a cohesive performance. At first, there seemed to be an insurmountable chasm between the two, but with the magical power of "Higher Dimensional Vision," they quickly crossed the line and gradually merged into a harmonious whole.

The soul seems to be immersed in boundless joy, its joy is beyond words, and it becomes more bright and vivid.

Outside Lin Xingyu's body, a brilliant yellow soul ring was slowly gathering and forming, emitting dazzling light.

……

As the soul ring outside his body gradually condensed and took shape, Lin Xingyu officially embarked on the path of a soul master, and his soul power broke through the barrier in an unstoppable manner.

The soul power in Lin Xingyu's body is quietly rising, but his consciousness is completely immersed in the vast sea of ​​​​spiritual power.

With the popularization of the soul system, anyone who has reached the spiritual realm can easily communicate with the spiritual sea.

The Sea of ​​Spirit, the inexhaustible source of spiritual power, is of undeniable importance in spiritual cultivation. Once a spirit master successfully communicates with it, their spiritual practice is elevated to a whole new realm, a difference as profound as heaven and earth. Now, on this vast continent, tapping into the Sea of ​​Spirit is no longer unattainable.

Relying on his extraordinary "high-dimensional vision", Lin Xingyu successfully touched the mysterious spiritual sea on the day his martial soul awakened.

In this vast sea of ​​spirit, the metal soul quietly appeared. Along with the leisurely operation of the Star Breathing Technique, it seemed to produce a subtle resonance with Lin Xingyu's blood, soul power and mental power, and established an indescribable close connection between them.

Let him immerse himself in deep meditation, and the deep secrets of martial soul and spirit ring seemed to slowly unveil themselves and appear before his eyes.

At this moment, his "soul" that was closely connected to himself and his "high-dimensional vision" merged, producing an indescribable wonderful reaction.
In his mind, a series of gorgeous pictures slowly unfolded, and various rules and orders, like bright stars, shone one by one before his eyes.

After absorbing soul rings, other soul masters can often only randomly touch and learn one of the many soul skills that are suitable for them.

However, Lin Xingyu seemed to have grasped a key at this moment, unlocking the vast treasure trove of skills of the Metal Soul, which contained countless possibilities.

He is examining these skills one by one, like a craftsman meticulously carving his own work. Not only does he browse through them carefully, but he also skillfully deletes and modifies them at the right time, making them perfectly fit his will and style, and radiating unprecedented brilliance.

And because all life on Douluo Continent shares a common ancestor, through the practice of Star Breathing, the power of one's bloodline can be manifested, and then the connection between one's Qi and blood and soul can be achieved. This greatly increases the number of skills that can be transformed into soul skills! Even soul skills that theoretically cannot be possessed by metal souls have been added. The depth of the skill pool has been greatly increased!

"Wow! I can now provide myself with soul skills!!!"

First, remove those miscellaneous soul skills, such as entanglement, parasitism, spider web and the like, and only keep the two soul skills of gold and fire! Then, select those soul skills that are close to the essence.
"Metal perception... Metal distortion... Metal manipulation... Metal waves... Golden armor... Sharp... Solid... Burning... Condensed... Following the trend... Yin fire... Control of fire elements... Fireball... Fire line... Rain of sparks..."

"My goodness, are there such outrageous things?"

"It's you, Metallurgical Stone!"
