Douluo: Lord of Arms

Chapter 211 The Sixth Soul Skill
"Wonderful!"

Mu Ye couldn't help but say that he hadn't paid much attention when Lin Xingyu first started explaining how to open up the eight extraordinary meridians.

But as Lin Xingyu explained, and with his own contemplation, he increasingly felt that this secret technique was quite advanced.

A moment later, Mu Ye looked up at Hu Jie, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

Hu Jie, who was deep in thought, noticed the strange light in Mu Ye's eyes. He was slightly taken aback, then said with feigned anger, "I still have basic credibility! I haven't revealed any of the Body Sect's secrets to anyone all these years!"

Makino chuckled twice and turned to look at Lin Xingyu.

"The idea is quite surprising, and the effect of the secret technique itself is not bad either."

"It can serve as a supplement to the soul core, and most importantly, it is much less dangerous than condensing a soul core!"

"Would that be useful to you, teacher?" Lin Xingyu asked curiously.

Mu Ye nodded and said, "It's useful, but most importantly, it broadened my horizons. This secret technique is more effective for those below the title level. In the future, I can let my disciples at the Soul King level learn it."

Opening up the eight extraordinary meridians can increase the absorption of the primordial energy of heaven and earth, and the soul core can do this, and with even better results.

As for strengthening the body, the Body Sect now has a considerable number of secret techniques for enhancing the body.

However, having another way to absorb external energy is always a good thing. In battle, it can not only increase the total amount of soul power used, but also enhance endurance.

This is what Makino said was useful, but its greater use was broadening his thinking.

Thinking about this, Lin Xingyu roughly understood why the other Soul Masters hadn't revealed the routes of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians.

The Soul Core System and the Eight Extraordinary Meridians System are two directions within the same research project.

Looking at the Soul Core system, which has more experience, and the Eight Extraordinary Meridians system, which has no experience or ideas, the Soul Master can basically make a judgment on what to do.

"Alright! Now that we've finished talking, I'll teach you a few things as well." Hu Jie interrupted the two of them without any politeness.

"Grandmaster Uncle, what is that?"

Hu Jie said, "It's a fusion of the main body and the martial soul, but it won't be of much use to you. I've already copied my experience on this and given it to Mu Ye. If you're interested, you can study it yourself."

"What I want to say is that once Wu Siduo comes out of that secret realm, I will personally take her as my grand-disciple and pass on my experience in Martial Soul Fusion to her. Before meeting her, I really didn't expect that there would be such a blessed person in the world."

Hu Jie's martial souls are his stomach and buttocks. After both martial souls were awakened a second time, Hu Jie's seventh soul skill, Martial Soul True Body, fused with both of his original martial souls at the same time.

This can barely be considered a martial soul fusion skill. Over the years, Hu Jie has been pursuing the complete fusion of the two martial souls into one.

Forever transformed into a martial spirit!
There are only one or two teachers who are most suitable for Wu Siduo. Besides Hu Jie, the other one is Long Yeyue, a soul master who has both light and dark holy dragon martial souls. However, Lin Xingyu can't think of any other word to describe the way this woman does things.

Even if Long Yeyue took the initiative to offer to take on a disciple, Lin Xingyu felt that he would make Wu Siduo stay away from her.

As for Hu Jie, although he's a bit erratic, he's passable...

It would be best if Hu Jieken took the initiative to teach Wu Siduo. Although his talent might be slightly inferior to Wu Siduo's, his hundreds of years of experience would be enough to save Wu Siduo from many detours!

Perhaps Wu Siduo's future martial soul can really become the Netherworld White Tiger, after all, the strength of the White Tiger and Netherworld Cat martial souls is limited.

Even these experiences were very useful to Lin Xingyu.

He originally intended to resolve Yuanen Yehui's problems while casually feeding one of his martial souls to another, causing the other martial soul to evolve.

Now that we've learned from this experience, we'll not only be able to utilize it more effectively, but we might even be able to create an even stronger martial soul.

"But why is it grand-disciple? Not disciple?" Lin Xingyu asked curiously.

Hu Jie chuckled coldly and said with some disdain, "I can see through your little schemes. If I were to take her as my disciple directly, she would be on the same level as your teacher. Although we don't value that, there are still some things we can't let happen."

As a staunch advocate of lifelong commitment, Hu Jie holds these fickle and treacherous individuals in utter contempt.

"How dare you slander someone's innocence out of thin air..."

Hu Jie continued with a sneer, "You're innocent, so why did you specifically ask for three spots in the secret realm? Why not give one to everyone?"

"Didn't I plead with you for ages, and you only gave me three?"

Hu Jie was momentarily stunned. It seemed that he had only given three, so it really was his fault?

I shook my head, clearing my head. I almost got led astray by this kid.

……

Xingluo Hotel.

Back at his residence, Lin Xingyu received a notification from Wu Changkong that he would be departing the day after tomorrow to continue his exchanges with other colleges.

After dealing with the situation briefly, he returned to his room.

Sitting on his bed, pondering tomorrow's plans, and looking at the bustling Star Luo City not far away, he decided to begin his cultivation for the day.

With a casual swipe of his hand on the storage soul tool, a familiar box reappeared in front of him.

Upon opening the box, one finds a collection of Spirit Essence Pills inside.

When Lin Xingyu finally left, he still gave Hu Jie a bunch of gold coins.

Where did they get another batch of these pills?

Lin Xingyu was right; this thing was indeed for Hu Jie's personal use.

Hu Jie has reached the peak of level 98. From now on, it's entirely up to him whether he can break through. If he can, he will become a level 99 Limit Douluo. If he can't, he will be stuck here.

That's why I've accumulated this batch of pills.

This time, Lin Xingyu exposed everything.

He picked up a pill and put it in his mouth, feeling the familiar warmth begin to nourish his limbs and bones.

Lin Xingyu couldn't help but let out a satisfied sigh.

Cultivation, it seems, still requires taking drugs.

As the powerful soul energy fluctuations spread out from Lin Xingyu, a continuous stream of heaven and earth energy was drawn into his body by his soul core and the several meridians he had already opened, and then refined into his own power.

After an unknown amount of time, a sound that seemed both illusory and real came from behind.

He successfully broke through that bottleneck.

His soul power naturally reached level sixty.

This surprised Lin Xingyu for a moment. He had been busy opening up his eight extraordinary meridians these past few days and hadn't paid much attention to the progress of his soul power improvement. He didn't expect to break through smoothly at this time.

However, upon closer examination, it makes sense. He was under various buffs and hadn't relaxed for a single day while cultivating.

It has been just over two months since my last breakthrough, and based on my own efficiency, it's time for me to make another breakthrough.

As his soul power increased, five black soul rings appeared around his body: black, black, black, black, black.

On the outermost edge, a brand new black spirit ring is slowly taking shape.

Lin Xingyu's expression froze for a moment. His vision expanded infinitely, and he pushed his "high-dimensional vision" to the limit he could currently achieve.

Skin, flesh, bones, veins, soul power, qi and blood power, and even the ethereal spiritual power and the origin of martial souls—everything was clearly visible in his eyes.

They see everything and observe everything.

He looked at the brand-new soul ring that was forming outside his body.

Under the "high-dimensional vision," he integrated his blood, soul power, and spiritual power into one, and finally another power emerged.

A crimson-gold martial spirit silently appeared behind him, watching everything with an expressionless face.

The ethereal gaze from above fell upon the illusory martial spirit.

The final surge of power from the illusory Martial Soul merged into the core of power condensed from Lin Xingyu's essence, energy, and spirit.

The newly generated power underwent a qualitative change in an instant, becoming much more substantial.

Metal, fire, lightning, magnetic fields, stars, slaughter, destruction... all sorts of power auras that Lin Xingyu possessed emerged.

A thought came to my mind.

This power merged into the forming spirit ring, and began to participate in its formation.

From the very first spirit ring, he began to study the formation of spirit rings.

The fact that one can condense a soul ring is not complicated for a god, indicating that the difficulty involved is not too high.

He consciously relies on his "high-dimensional vision" to observe and control power, so completing the self-condensed soul ring later shouldn't be a big problem.

Having accumulated enough experience with the first five spirit rings, Lin Xingyu decided to participate in half of the process for the sixth spirit ring, following the original plan of having his own power contribute to the other half.

That way, no matter what happens on the other side, at least his sixth spirit ring won't collapse.

If successful, the seventh spirit ring will be one's natal spirit ring.

What he needs to do now is to replace a part of the soul's origin with a part of his own origin, and finally comprehend and record all the changes in this process.

Feeling a part of their own origin, along with the origin power of the Thunderous Hell Vine, it began to gradually transform and solidify.

Lin Xingyu meticulously memorized all the changes that occurred during this process.

These are all valuable experiences.

As time passed, the sixth spirit ring finally began to solidify completely, and the patterns representing spirit skills began to gradually form on it.

The light representing "high-dimensional vision" emanating from Lin Xingyu flowed once again.

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.

In the past, most of the time, he could only select and modify soul skills to a certain extent under such circumstances.

It's just that as his strength grows, his ability to modify things also becomes stronger.

This modification process can even give his soul skills a certain degree of rule-making effect.

This is also why his soul skills are all incredibly powerful.

But this time, he integrated his own essence into the soul ring.

He can even modify or even customize his soul skills to a certain extent based on all the abilities he has acquired or come into contact with in his life!

This is so much better than the previous method of selecting soul skills and then optimizing them to some extent!

It's a pity that it still has to be done within certain rules, and there's also the age limit of the spirit ring, so the power it can bear is still limited. Otherwise, it would be great to just give myself a max-level cheat, and then I could just show off my "I don't eat beef" attitude. Lin Xingyu thought with some regret.

Without the slightest hesitation, he had already made up his mind about which soul skill he needed most at the moment.

I carefully studied the rules governing the movements I was allowed to make.

Lin Xingyu quickly set his goal.

Linking, transferring, transforming, aggregating, unifying...

As Lin Xingyu precisely selected each power of the rules, the points of light represented by these rules quickly converged onto the soul ring.

Here, they quickly intertwine, starting with the smallest lines and weaving into larger ones, which then begin to resonate with each other.

One energy cycle after another began to form rapidly.

Finally, these energy cycles combine directly into larger cycles.

After repeated combinations, the final, magnificent pattern covered his sixth spirit ring.

From this moment on, the black spirit ring completely solidified!

The new Soul Skill was thus formed.

Sixth Soul Skill: War Chains!
Feeling the effects of the new soul skill, Lin Xingyu couldn't help but feel excited.

This soul skill allows you to connect with other life forms!
One method is to brand other life forms in advance, and the degree to which the chains of war link the two sides is greater depending on how well the other party accepts and tolerates the brand.

During this linking process, both parties can transfer their soul power, spiritual power, and vital energy.

It is even possible to temporarily borrow the other party's soul skills. Currently, these soul skills are limited to offensive types that can be used. Other amplification-type soul skills cannot be borrowed. Most of these amplification-type soul skills involve the development of one's own physical martial soul. Without the corresponding martial soul, it is naturally impossible to use them.

The damage suffered by one party can also be transferred through this soul skill!

The first thought that came to Lin Xingyu's mind when he thought of this soul skill was the souls he had swallowed within his Myriad Abyss Domain.

These souls existed within the Myriad Abyss Domain, and were then incorporated into various metals, forged and tempered, forming a peculiar life form with a soul as its core and metal as its body.

The next moment, his sixth spirit ring lit up.

The effect of the Soul Skill directly connects all life forms within the Myriad Abyss Domain.

The speed at which the chains of war were linked exceeded Lin Xingyu's expectations.

Or rather, all life within the Myriad Abyss Domain has now been completely corrupted by Lin Xingyu.

It was shaped like him from head to toe.

He didn't even leave a mark, yet he easily connected with all the life forms here!
These life forms, once swallowed into the Abyss Domain, are all souls and naturally possess spiritual power. After obtaining metal as their bodies, they can convert a small amount of heaven and earth energy into soul power to a certain extent!
Sensing thousands of targets within the domain, he can draw upon all their spiritual and soul power at any time to empower himself!
Although each individual target is quite small, when they are added together, the total amount is quite terrifying!
He felt stronger than ever before!
Even setting aside everything else, the fact that the War Chains can transfer damage, combined with the thousands of blood packs within the domain, meant that his health bar received an unprecedented boost!
"call!"

After taking several deep breaths, Lin Xingyu calmed himself down.

He resisted the urge to continue testing the effects of his soul skill.

This is the Xingluo Grand Hotel, and a bunch of account holders are still sitting next to it.

Having absorbed a large amount of soul power to strengthen himself, he couldn't perfectly control that state.

The emanating soul power fluctuations will definitely attract the attention of others.

I'll try it myself when I have more time later!
