Douluo: Villain Simulator, Starting with an Iron Sword Martial Soul

A black longsword appeared in Lu Changsheng's palm.

The sword is long and slender with a jet-black blade.

It lacks the overt murderous aura of the Blood-Patterned Sword, but is more like a weapon of destruction hidden in the shadows.

Upon seeing this, the deacon in charge of awakening his powers lit up.

"Weapon Spirit, Black Edge Sword."

Then, the soul power crystal lit up, and a blue light rose.

"Level six innate soul power!"

Several gasps of surprise immediately rang out inside the hall.

A smile finally appeared on Gu Ming's face.

"Okay. Very good."

"Gu Xuan, from this day forward, you are the most promising young Soul Master in our branch."

Lu Changsheng sheathed his Black Edge Sword and bowed his head, saying:

"Father, I will not let you down."

Gu Ming nodded in satisfaction.

But Lu Changsheng remained calm.

A level 6 innate ability is indeed better than the first simulation.

But not enough.

What he wanted was not to be a so-called genius in a small branch hall.

He wants to advance to a higher level within the Spirit Hall.

The higher you climb, the greater the reward.

Chapter 11 Dark Blade Soul Master

In the following years, Lu Changsheng began to cultivate his martial spirit.

Unlike the Luo family, the Spirit Hall has a more systematic training system.

Meditation techniques, combat training, martial spirit knowledge, and soul beast identification.

Soul Master discipline and intelligence gathering.

Lu Changsheng learned very quickly.

More importantly, he possesses twelve years of swordsmanship experience inherited from the previous simulation.

Although his body is still small, his understanding of swords far surpasses that of his peers.

At the age of eight, his soul power broke through to level ten.

The Spirit Hall obtained his first spirit ring for him.

First Soul Skill: Black Edge Thrust. When activated, the Black Edge Sword will accelerate instantly, thrusting a black sword beam with a penetrating effect towards the target.

This is a soul skill that is extremely suitable for assassination.

After seeing this soul skill, Gu Ming remained silent for a long time for the first time.

Then he said to Lu Changsheng:

"Gu Xuan, your martial spirit is not suitable for direct confrontation."

"Suitable for hiding in the shadows."

"Are you willing to walk the path of a Dark Blade Soul Master?"

Lu Changsheng asked:

What is a Dark Blade Soul Master?

Gu Ming said in a deep voice:

"The Spirit Hall has deacons, bishops, and temple knights on the surface."

"But secretly, there is also a need for people to handle the dirty work."

"Gather intelligence, eliminate traitors, and hunt down enemy Soul Masters."

"These people will not be known to ordinary Soul Masters."

"They have no glory, yet they are important; they are known as the Dark Blades."

Lu Changsheng listened without the slightest change in his expression.

Dark Blade? This perfectly matches the main quest given by the system.

To become a true Dark Blade Soul Master.

Lu Changsheng lowered his head and said:

"I am willing."

Gu Ming looked at his son with a complicated expression.

"This road is dangerous."

"Once you go up, it's hard to turn back."

Lu Changsheng simply said:

“Father, I want to climb up.”

These words left Gu Ming speechless.

A moment later, he patted Lu Changsheng on the shoulder.

"it is good."

"I will try to get you a spot."

A year later, nine-year-old Lu Changsheng was sent to a secret training camp of the Spirit Hall.

The training camp is located in a valley.

Inside were young Soul Masters from various branch halls.

They are young, but they are all quite talented.

Once everyone arrives here, their identities are erased.

There is no family, no parents, only a number.

Lu Changsheng's number is seventeen.

The rules of the training camp are simple.

Survive, become stronger, and obey orders.

On the first day, the instructor killed a boy who tried to escape.

Blood splattered on the ground.

Everyone fell silent.

Lu Changsheng stood calmly in the crowd.

He knew very well that this was the true breeding ground for villains.

Here, kindness is meaningless, and hesitation will only hasten your demise.

The training camp was a hundred times more brutal than the outer courtyard of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Daily training begins before dawn.

Infiltration, tracking, assassination, detoxification, interrogation.

Team encirclement and annihilation, solo escape... injuries are common, and death is not uncommon.

In the first month, three people died in the training camp.

Five more died in the second month.

Lu Changsheng did not die; in fact, he was becoming more and more comfortable here.

The Black Edge Sword in his hands seemed born to be associated with shadows.

Unlike Luo Chen in the first simulation, he wouldn't rush to stand before the Chosen One.

This time, he learned to hide and to wait.

I learned to strike when the enemy is most relaxed.

At the age of twelve.

Lu Changsheng's soul power level broke through to level 20, and he obtained his second soul ring.

His second soul skill is called: Shadow Step.

After activation, the user gains increased speed and reduces their aura for a short period. This soul skill, combined with Black Fang Thrust, made Lu Changsheng one of the most dangerous trainees of his age.
