Douluo: Lord of Arms

Chapter 228 The Star Luo Matter Concluded
The room fell silent. Mu Ye was trying to use his previous knowledge about martial spirits to understand the situation in front of him.

The soul skills ultimately generated between a martial soul and a soul spirit influence each other, but this influence depends primarily on the quality of both.

'Could it be that the quality of this Evil Eye is ridiculously high? Could it really be a direct descendant of the Evil Emperor?'

'Since that's the case, why not have Xiaoxi absorb the second soul spirit at level 20 to obtain a normal soul skill?'

A jumble of random thoughts flashed through his mind as Mu Ye tried his best to find a safe path for Chen Xi within the limits of his knowledge.

Soul Masters are influenced by their Martial Souls; the connection between Martial Souls and Soul Masters is quite close.

The Martial Soul is another aspect of a Soul Master. The Martial Soul can be influenced by bloodline and external energy, which in turn affects the Soul Master himself.

Just as Soul Masters with Dragon Martial Souls are often more arrogant, those with Phoenix Martial Souls, like the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan, are also more haughty.

While the kindness of Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li may largely stem from her own heart, there is undoubtedly some influence from her martial soul.

The evil of the Dark Blood Demon, the Holy Spirit Cult has a bunch of evil soul masters, perhaps because they have experienced all kinds of suffering, but some are simply evil because of their martial souls.

'It must be that this inherently evil little devil with the evil eye doesn't possess any good soul skills!'

After racking his brains for a long time without coming up with any good ideas, Makino could only think of something indignantly.

"Grandmaster? Is my soul skill not very good?" Chen Xi asked somewhat timidly.

"How could that be! Even the first soul skill is so excellent. Grandmaster has never seen many like it." Mu Ye quickly put on a kind smile and comforted the little girl in front of him.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xi immediately smiled happily and breathed a sigh of relief.

I'm pretty good at it!
……

"Ah!"

Lin Xingyu sneezed, a rare occurrence for him. He rubbed his nose uncomfortably. Given his physical condition, the fact that he sneezed made him feel like something was amiss.

"What wrong thing have you done?" Lin Yuhan asked Lin Xingyu with a smile.

"It's alright. Inside are some metals I prepared for the transaction. You can take a look first," Lin Xingyu said, taking out two storage soul tools from his person.

One of them contained top-grade alloys, refined to the highest level, which were used to trade for ordinary metals.

The other one contained soul-forging metals. These were mostly obtained by Lin Xingyu from Zhenhua or Muye. He didn't have many of them and used them to trade for top-grade metals that could be used for soul forging from birth.

Lin Yuhan picked up two storage soul tools and quickly checked the items inside using her mental power. Even though she was prepared, she was still shocked.

Soul-forged metal!
She had only ever seen such things in the hands of her own teacher! No matter how much her teacher doted on her, they would never give her something like this.

"Everything is inside. The two top-grade metals are Galaxy Gold and Green-Veined Black Gold. The former is formed from the essence of stars that fell from the sky and absorbed the power of stars for countless years. The latter is a precious metal that was born deep in the earth and has been nurtured for countless years."

"Even teachers don't have much access to this kind of thing; it's a controlled item everywhere."

Lin Xingyu took the two metal objects, examined them carefully, and then put them away with satisfaction.

To be honest, these two metals, in terms of their current quality, certainly don't reach the level of Soul Forging, but this thing is unforged raw metal, which is a very rare treasure.

"It's been a pleasure working with you. If you find anything else, feel free to come to me. I usually follow the Douluo delegation's activities, so you shouldn't be able to hide that from me."

"Of course it's no problem."

After chatting for a while, Lin Yuhan took the opportunity to ask Lin Xingyu some questions about forging.

Lin Xingyu had no intention of keeping anything to himself and answered all the questions he could.

For questions that I cannot answer accurately, I will offer my conjectures.

He also raised many questions he had about Xingluo.

……

"teacher?"

"Come over here and see how your little apprentice is doing!"

Makino simply said one sentence and then hung up the communication device.

Lin Xingyu was filled with questions, but he still packed his things and headed towards his little apprentice's place.

When he arrived at the spot where Makino and the other man were, they had just finished eating and hadn't even cleared the table.

When Chen Xi saw Lin Xingyu arrive, she quickly slid off the stool, ran to Lin Xingyu, tied her hands around his thigh, and muttered, "Teacher, you ran away after teaching me last time, and there are still so many things I don't know."

Seeing this, Makino smiled and said, "This little thing is quite timid when it's with me, but it's very lively when it's with you."

"Perhaps it's because of his age?"

Mu Ye didn't mind, and simply continued, "Check her body and cultivation level."

Hearing what Muye said, Lin Xingyu roughly understood why Muye had suddenly called him over.

Something must have happened, so the "high-dimensional vision" was activated, and everything in the world instantly changed, just like a person with severe myopia putting on glasses.

He raised his hand and placed his left hand on Chen Xi's shoulder, channeling his soul power into his body as he observed her condition.

"Level 13!???"

As soon as his soul power surged in, Lin Xingyu realized that something was wrong.

It had only been a few days since Lin Xingyu last came and taught her some things.

Even with the various foods that Muye had carefully prepared to replenish his body, and the food contained a great deal of spiritual energy from heaven and earth.

Including the soul spirits she refined, these would at most raise her soul power to level twelve, since the time was too short.

Now he's gone straight to level 13.

Then he discovered that the life essence he had sealed within the little guy was being consumed too quickly.

"Let me introduce your first soul skill to your teacher."

Chen Xi's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she immediately raised her little face with some pride.

"Teacher, my first soul skill is called..."

After listening to Chen Xi's introduction, Lin Xingyu nodded thoughtfully.

"Come on, use your first soul skill on me."

Chen Xi nodded obediently, but in an instant a hazy soul phantom appeared behind him, wrapped in a red soul thread, and then the phantom took a step forward.

Possessed by a martial spirit!

Her originally black pupils suddenly became even more alluring, like whirlpools, as if they could captivate one's soul without one noticing.

As she took a deep breath, her soul power surged, and her first soul ring lit up, with red dotted lines wrapping around Lin Xingyu. Lin Xingyu stood still, not dodging. No matter how heaven-defying his first soul skill was, the age of the soul ring and the level of soul power it held wouldn't have much effect on him.

A moment later, feeling his life force slipping away, Lin Xingyu frowned slightly and broke free of the red dotted lines that were wrapped around him.

I carefully experienced the effects of Chen Xi's soul skill.

'The speed at which it absorbs life force and spiritual energy is quite slow, and it can still be affected by the opponent's spiritual energy. In addition, it's probably difficult to spread the absorption to multiple targets. Its lethality against a single target is decent, but it becomes ineffective against multiple targets. However, it's a rather powerful ability in a one-on-one situation against someone of the same level.'

After a brief analysis of Chen Xi's soul skill effects, he had a general idea of ​​what it was like.

"A very good soul skill. In the future, don't use it unless necessary. The foundation of our Body Sect is combat skills!"

"Can I learn combat skills?" Chen Xi asked curiously.

Lin Xingyu patted Chen Xi's head and said with a smile, "Of course you can. This is something every disciple of the Body Sect should learn."

"Furthermore, even when you're not using your soul skills, can you control the red soul lines on your martial soul?"

"Yes, but I need to concentrate to control their movement."

"Then add one more task to your next task. One of them is to control your own martial soul with your own senses. When you can make all the soul threads as easy as your own arms, you can barely be considered to have mastered the basics of controlling your own martial soul."

"You must understand that only the power you control is true power."

"Alright, go back and meditate first. Your grandmaster and I have some things to discuss."

"Okay." Xiao Chenxi nodded reluctantly before turning around and walking back to her room.

"How is it?" Makino's expression turned serious.

Lin Xingyu pondered for a moment and said, "It's not a purely evil martial soul; it's more of an attribute bias."

"Teach him properly from now on, don't let him take shortcuts, and correct him in time if problems arise. Use soul skills less often, so that he doesn't end up being regarded as an evil soul master and be hated by everyone."

Makino nodded: "As long as you know what you're doing, that's fine."

In this era, almost every faction has some taboos about attributes related to evil spirit masters.

Gu Yue displays the six attributes of earth, wind, water, fire, space, and light, but does not show the dark attribute, possibly because she wants to keep it hidden.

On the one hand, her dark nature easily attracts the taboo of others. Although she is not afraid, she does not want to cause too much trouble.

Not to mention its life-devouring nature, its blatantly malevolent nature.

"I just hope you'll take good care of her from now on."

“Now that we’ve joined the Body Sect, we’re all family. There’s no need to bother with family matters,” Mu Ye said magnanimously.

……

The journey through the Star Luo Continent came to an end without anyone noticing.

A year can be said to have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the following months, Lin Xingyu's progress in both soul power and blood transfusion can be described as rapid.

His soul power increased from level 62 to level 67, which was also due to the fact that he refined the two arm bones, which brought about the improvement of his soul power.

Even so, his soul power increased by three levels in less than seven months.

You must understand, this is the third level of a Soul Emperor, not the third level of a Soul Venerable!
This is the ninth blood exchange, and he is only one step away from completely completing the blood exchange realm!

Incidentally, during this period, Lin Xingyu acquired a batch of rare metals through transactions with Lin Yuhan.

Basically, apart from those special metals that have long since disappeared, Lin Xingyu has collected a copy of almost all the other rare metals on the Star Luo Continent.

And in these past few months, everyone else has also made considerable progress.

What made Lin Xingyu feel most uneasy was not Yuanen Yehui, whose soul power level was increasing every day after connecting to the demon plane, nor the fact that he had broken the seal of the Nine-Layer Golden Dragon King and his physical fitness had been greatly improved.

Tang Wulin, who is currently focusing wholeheartedly on his soul power, has seen a significant increase in it, even more so than the other members of the team.

It was his newly accepted apprentice.

In just over six months, even with the help of Mu Ye and Lin Xingyu, his soul power directly reached level 20.

She could absolutely be described as a born saint of the Holy Spirit Church!
After careful consideration, Chen Xi was not allowed to reabsorb a soul spirit at level 20. Instead, the Evil Eye was allowed to provide the second soul skill.

The second soul skill is still a very powerful soul skill.

The second soul skill has failed!

It can cause the target's mental strength, physical strength, and soul power to begin to deplete, while also weakening the opponent's defense.

It's a single-target soul skill, and its effect is as powerful as ever.

This also allowed Makino to secretly breathe a sigh of relief. Although it was still a rather sinister soul skill, at least it was no longer a sinister soul skill that directly devoured the opponent's life force like Life Drain.

……

There was a knock on the door.

Xie Xie's voice came over.

"Captain, are you all packed? We should board the ship now! We'll be late if we're late."

Lin Xingyu casually put everything in front of him into his storage soul tool, walked to the door, opened it, and saw Xie Xie standing at the door.

"Let's go."

They walked out of their residence and boarded the Douluo delegation's ship docked at the port.

They found the group of people standing on the deck chatting idly.

Lin Xingyu glanced around and noticed that the number of people seemed a bit off. He quietly nudged Xie Xie beside him and asked in a low voice, "Where did Gu Yue and Na'er go?"

Xie Xie also lowered his voice and said, "Gu Yue and Na'er went inside to check their rooms. You know that Gu Yue doesn't know what happened either. It seems that she suddenly broke up with Wu Lin a few months ago."

"I don't even speak to him, and most of the time I don't even see him."

Lin Xingyu nodded and didn't say anything more. He naturally knew what was going on, but he was too lazy to explain.

at the same time.

Gu Yue sat expressionlessly in the chair, looking at Na'er in front of him, and said in a very calm tone.

"I've already told you everything that happened in Dragon Valley. Believe it or not, it's up to you. But in any case, I hope you'll use your rusty brain to think carefully about why the Golden Dragon King, who was sealed in the God Realm, ended up in the body of a mortal in the lower realm."
