Douluo Golden Shovel: One Hextech Gunpla every year!

Chapter 3: A Two-Thousand-Year-Old Soul Beast, the Azure-Scaled Giant Tree!

Honglian shook his head. Although he possessed a modern perspective and used modern technological thinking to help Master Xu Yu research and restore many soul tools.

Just like the three-level baby bottle Red Lotus, which simulates the technology of a storage battery.

However, crafting soul tools also requires strength; the level three milk bottle is already the limit that Honglian can make.

For something like a Level 4 Soul-Guided Sniper Ray Gun, he would have to provide the design and the more skilled Master Xu Yu would have to actually make it.

"What other surprises could there be?" Xu Yu wondered.

“Master, my martial soul has awakened ahead of schedule. It is a top-tier martial soul with innate full soul power.”

"I……"

Xu Yu's mouth was slightly open, his pupils dilated, and all the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat.

After a long while, Xu Yu grabbed Honglian's shoulder, his emotions running high.

"Honglian, what did you just say? Say it again."

“Master, what I mean is that my martial soul has already awakened ahead of schedule. It is a top-level martial soul with innate full soul power.”

As she spoke, a light shone from Honglian's body, and she summoned her Dragon Girl Martial Soul.

Silver faceplate, golden claws, red dragon scales and belly armor, and thick red arm blades, all sharply defined and radiating a silver-gold glow.

Although the dense soul power fluctuations could not be released directly, they had already reached the limit below the Soul Master level.

A three-star, two-cost Dragon Girl is a top-tier martial soul!
Innately full of soul power!
There was another long silence.

However, Xu Yu's gaze towards Hong Lian seemed somewhat complicated.

Honglian asked Xu Yu in confusion, "Master, why do you seem unhappy?"

"Sigh~" Xu Yu patted Hong Lian's head, tidied his stray hairs, and said in a somewhat complicated tone, "I originally planned for you to inherit my soul tool mantle and carry on my dream."

However, if you awaken a top-tier martial soul and are born with full soul power, then you should just honestly become a top-tier battle soul master.

“Master.” Honglian looked up.

“Master, just like top-tier martial souls, those with innate full soul power can research soul tools.”

Xu Yu patted Honglian's head and didn't continue on this topic. Instead, he said to Honglian, "Alright, you should still focus on cultivating your martial soul. If you have the energy, you can study soul tools more. If you don't have the energy, you can give up."

"I'll find a successor later."

Xu Yu said to Hong Lian with a hint of relief.

"You can play with that soul-guided sniper ray gun for a couple of days, just remember not to run around or hurt anyone!"

"Also, in a few days, I will personally take you to the Soul Beast Forest to hunt for the first Soul Ring."

Xu Yu began to make arrangements for Honglian.

"hey-hey."

Honglian happily took the soul-guided sniper ray gun, which was almost taller than her, off the display stand and put it into her own storage soul-guided device.

I finally got my hands on this Soul-Guided Sniper Ray Gun!

Then, after putting the two level-three baby bottles into her bosom, Honglian replied to her master, Xu Yu:

"Well, Master, I'll go to Liuli Village for a couple of days. The area is spacious and there are a lot of wild birds, which is perfect for me to snipe."

"Okay, I'll give you a few days off, but don't go too wild. Remember to come back as soon as you've had your fun, and I'll take you hunting for the first spirit ring then." "Alright!"

Honglian readily agreed, packed her luggage, and left home.

After leaving Wutan City, Honglian did not go hunting and playing with guns in the village as she had agreed with her master Xu Yu. Instead, she changed direction and headed straight for a Soul Beast Forest that was closest to Wutan City.

He was going to hunt down his first spirit ring.

As for Master Xu Yu saying that he would take her to hunt for spirit rings, it wasn't because Honglian was being willful.

It's true that Master Xu Yu, a Soul Master with one white, two yellow, and one purple soul, really didn't have the ability to help him hunt down thousand-year-old soul beasts.

Honglian's goal is to hunt down soul beasts that are around six or seven thousand years old.

However, Honglian already had a target for her first soul beast when her Dragon Girl Martial Soul had just awakened.

The two-cost Shyvana's ability in the Golden Spatula game is that each time she uses her ability, her maximum health increases and she recovers health based on her maximum health and ability power, while also dealing higher magic damage to enemies.

The damage that can be dealt also increases based on maximum health and spell power.

For this reason, Shyvana's best-suited growth attributes are often increasing health and ability power, along with some increase in both physical and magical resistance.

Therefore, even though the Dragon Girl has a Dragon-type Martial Soul, Honglian's primary goal is a Soul Beast that can greatly increase his vitality and dual resistance attributes. He wants to possess such a first Soul Ring.

And coincidentally, there is such a soul beast recently, which perfectly fits Honglian's goal.

Rumor has it that a giant, over two-thousand-year-old Azure Scale Tree has been discovered on the outskirts of the nearby Soul Beast Forest. It is extremely formidable, and no one has yet managed to hunt it down.

It has strong vitality and formidable defense, and I've heard it can also control poisonous mist, and might even have some magical abilities.

It almost perfectly matches the requirements of the Red Lotus.

When Honglian first awakened her Dragon Girl Martial Soul, she set it as her goal.

Moreover, the fact that the opponent is a plant-type soul beast has an advantage: plant-type soul beasts, especially tree-type ones, almost always take deep root in the ground to absorb nutrients and aid in cultivation.

While the body is quite stable, it is almost impossible to move its position, or even move very slowly.

A day later, about two thousand meters away from the seven-thousand-year-old giant tree with its scaly scales, Honglian found a relatively hilly and secluded spot and took out her soul-guided sniper ray gun.

Honglian lay prone in the grass, set up her Soul Guidance Sniper Rifle, attached a Level 3 Healing Bottle, adjusted the focus, and began aiming at the Azure Scale Giant Tree two kilometers away.

The terrain of this hill is excellent, with almost no obstructions in front.

Moreover, the Azure Scale Giant Tree is tall enough, with a wide canopy that is almost twice as tall as other trees, making it stand out from the crowd and making it very easy for Red Lotus to aim at.

"3, 2, 1, fire!"

As Honglian passionately voiced his own voice, the muzzle of the Soul Guidance Sniper Ray Gun slowly gathered a blue light of high-energy soul power, which suddenly erupted after Honglian counted down three seconds!
The sudden burst of blue-white muzzle flash sent the soul-guided sniper rifle flying high, while a blazing white soul-guided ray shot out far away at an extremely fast speed!

The two-kilometer distance passed in the blink of an eye.

As the canopy of the giant, scaly tree shook violently, an anthropomorphic, angry face appeared on its bronze trunk, and a black pit the size of a bowl and varying in depth was burned out.

Meanwhile, the effects of Hextech [Heat Strike] are in effect.

The scorched pit, the size of a bowl, was still glowing red, continuing to cause even greater damage to the giant tree!
5 seconds, 5%!
