Douluo's Demon Blade Thousand Blades and the Original Martial Soul

Chapter 11 Heading to Heaven Dou City

Upon arriving at Zhao Wuji's office, Yizhang, who was meditating, opened his eyes and said, "Yizhang, what do you need Old Zhao for?"

Lin Yizhang said, "Teacher Zhao, I've already reached level 20 in soul power, and I'd like to ask you for help in obtaining a soul ring."

Zhao Wuji said, "Alright, you've finally reached level 20. Let's set off tomorrow then. Are we taking the three of them along this time?"

Lin Yizhang replied, "Zhang Fan is about to break through to level 35 in soul power. Let's go this time and come back sooner."

After the conversation, Lin Yizhang returned to his dormitory to continue consolidating his newly broken-through soul power.

The next morning, the two set off for the Star Dou Great Forest. Since Soto City was not far from the Star Dou Great Forest, they could reach the edge of the forest in three days if they traveled at a fast pace.

Moreover, the Star Dou Great Forest is home to a wide variety of spirit beasts, and people can enter and exit freely without a Soul Hunting Token. Therefore, Shrek Academy students usually go to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain spirit rings.

The Star Dou Great Forest is not like the Soul Hunting Forest, which is kept in captivity by the state. The soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest are more aggressive, and there are many ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, and even the legendary one-hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts.

A 100,000-year-old soul beast is comparable to a titled Douluo among soul masters. Soul beasts possess a stronger physique than titled Douluos, so ordinary titled Douluos simply cannot defeat a 100,000-year-old soul beast. This shows just how dangerous the Star Dou Great Forest is.

Every year, countless Soul Masters die in the Star Dou Great Forest. Those who are not strong enough usually go in teams, while only those who are confident in their strength will act alone.

Zhao Wudi was clearly not a weak person. With his Soul Saint level strength, there were basically no soul beasts that could pose a threat to him on the outskirts of the forest.

After arriving at the Star Dou Great Forest, the two first found an inn to stay overnight. The next day at dawn, they set off to enter the Star Dou Great Forest.

Without lingering on the outer perimeter, he headed straight for the inner perimeter. This time, Lin Yizhang still intended to acquire an amplification-type soul skill.

Through his studies, Lin Yizhang learned that the tiger-type spirit beast he encountered last time was called the Vajra Tiger, from which he obtained a percentage-based amplification spirit skill. This time, Lin Yizhang plans to find a Vajra Tiger with a lifespan of 900 years to obtain a spirit ring.

Of course, Lin Yizhang also found alternative options, such as some powerful soul beasts, like the Armored Dragon and the Earth Bear.

If you really can't find these soul beasts, just find one with a stronger bloodline.

Lin Yizhang was confident that he could develop even the most useless soul skill into something special, so he wasn't worried about anything.

After searching for a long time, I encountered many soul beasts of suitable age along the way. Among them was a one-horned bull that had reached the age of 900, which was quite suitable for me.

Lin Zhang planned to spend another two hours looking for a better one. If he couldn't find one, he would go back and hunt down that one-horned bull to use as his second soul ring.

After searching for more than an hour, I suddenly saw a Tyrannosaurus Rex sleeping in the distance.

Based on his knowledge, Lin Yizhang quickly determined that this was a soul beast that was nearly a thousand years old.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex has a powerful physique. When it is in a rage, the scales on its body become thicker, greatly increasing its defense and attack power, and it may even grant itself a powerful amplification-type soul skill.

Lin Yizhang was very happy. The age and type of this soul beast were very suitable for him, even more so than the Vajra Tiger.

Without saying a word, he told Zhao Wuji that he wanted this soul beast as his second soul ring.

His physical strength was forged under Zhao Wuji's third soul skill—gravity enhancement.

Zhao Wuji was well aware of his physical strength; absorbing a soul beast less than a thousand years old with his second soul ring was no problem at all!

So Zhao Wuji didn't waste any words and directly led Lin Yizhang closer to the armored dragon.

The armored dragon was quickly awakened. Seeing two humans rushing towards it and sensing the terrifying power emanating from Zhao Wuji, it turned around and tried to flee out of its instinct as a soul beast.

Zhao Wuji immediately unleashed his third soul skill: Gravity Enhancement, followed by his second soul skill: Mighty Vajra Palm.

He knocked the armored dragon to the ground, leaving it on the verge of death. This was clearly because Zhao Wuji had deliberately held back; otherwise, it would have been killed with a single blow.

Lin Yizhang quickly stepped forward to finish off the enemy. After adjusting his state, he began to absorb the spirit ring. The absorption process went smoothly, but because there was a lot of energy, the absorption time was a bit long.

After absorbing the spirit rings, the two left the Star Dou Great Forest. Their second spirit skill was very powerful, and it was a percentage-based amplification spirit skill: Tyrannosaurus Transformation, which amplified all attributes by 25%, and increased by 5% for each additional spirit ring.

The effect feels similar to Dai Mubai's third soul skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation. The soul power level has been raised to level 22, which is obviously the result of absorbing a soul ring beyond the age limit.

Lin Yizhang had grown taller, now standing at 1.73 meters. His body had become stronger, his muscles powerful yet not as bulky as Zhao Wuji's. Coupled with his beautiful long blue hair, his figure was quite aesthetically pleasing.

If you really can't imagine what he looks like, just put your ideal man in his shoes. In short, just like the readers: handsome.

He obtained his second spirit ring in less than ten days, which was incredibly smooth.

Of course, this is only possible with the help of a powerful Soul Master; otherwise, it wouldn't be so easy.

Obtaining a spirit ring is the thing with the highest mortality rate for a spirit master!

After sparring with Zhao Wuji at Shrek Academy for a few more days, Lin Yizhang mastered his second soul skill.

I knocked on the door of the dean's office and went in. I saw Flander leisurely lying on the chair next to his desk, drinking tea, looking relaxed and content.

Flander has made a lot of money from the hot air balloon project, and now he only operates the hot air balloon entertainment for one day a month.

By escorting 30 hot air balloons, he can earn tens of thousands of gold soul coins in a single day.

In the past two years, apart from the initial period when the revenue was not so high, the fees have gradually increased, and there is no shortage of tourists, so Flanders is earning more and more.

Even if Lin Yizhang only made a 10% profit, after two and a half years, he would still have earned around 150,000 gold soul coins. So, Flander should have over a million gold soul coins by now.

"I've bought the storage soul tool you asked me to buy for you. Here, this storage necklace has 2 cubic meters of space and cost 50,000 gold soul coins," Flander said.

"Okay, thank you, Dean. I have another matter to discuss with you. I want to leave Shrek Academy and travel to other parts of the continent. I hope you will approve my request."

"I will teach you how to make hot air balloons. My 10% profit will be your reward for helping me buy the soul tool. What do you think, Dean?" Lin Yizhang said as he took the storage necklace.

"I knew you were leaving, otherwise I wouldn't have been in such a hurry to buy you a storage soul tool. I agree. Tonight I'll treat everyone from Shrek Academy to a farewell dinner in Soto City," Flander nodded.

That evening, the Shrek members gathered for a lavish dinner, and Flander was generous this time as well.

Lin Yizhang raised his glass to the crowd and said, "Thank you all for taking care of me over the past two years. Let's drink until we drop today."

Zhang Fan was the most reluctant to part with him, saying, "Yi Zhang, wouldn't it be better if you stayed at Shrek Academy to continue studying? If you want to leave, you can wait until I reach level 40 and graduate, then we can leave together."

"I can come back to Shrek Academy to find you in two years. I'm sure you'll have successfully graduated from Shrek Academy by then," Lin Yizhang replied with a smile.

Zhang Fan didn't try to persuade them to stay any longer. Oscar and Ma Hongjun also expressed their desire for them to stay, finally remarking, "We should also travel to Douluo Continent someday!"

Early the next morning, Lin Yizhang left Soto City and headed north to Tiandou City.

Tian Dou City is the capital of the Tian Dou Empire and one of the three most magnificent cities on the Douluo Continent.

With countless Soul Masters gathering, the Soul Arena is even larger in scale and features a large auction house, making it a great place to visit.

After two months of slow travel, Lin Yizhang finally entered Tiandou City.

I rented a courtyard near the Great Soul Arena to live in, which would be convenient for my daily training and going to Soul Battles.

I've spent over two years learning and making money. Although I haven't neglected my soul power cultivation, strength isn't solely determined by soul power level. It also depends on a soul master's proficiency and flexible application of their martial soul and soul skills, as well as their combat techniques.

The Soul Master is a watershed moment in Soul Master cultivation. After reaching the Soul Master level, a Soul Master will undergo a qualitative change, with a significant increase in total Soul Power and a substantial boost in various attributes after the addition of the third Soul Ring.

Lin Yizhang has not yet reached the Soul Master level, and he does not plan to cultivate the remaining six self-created Soul Skills of the Demon Blade Thousand Blades.

Instead, he planned to use his original martial soul to fight in the Soul Arena to increase his combat skills and experience. At the same time, the insights gained from the battles would also help with the cultivation of his soul power.

Currently, both of his original martial soul skills are amplification-type skills, but fortunately, he has the self-created Rasengan skill, which makes up for the lack of offensive means.

As for whether using self-created soul skills in the Soul Arena would cause trouble, Lin Yizhang said that wearing a mask to fight in the Soul Arena and reducing the power of the Rasengan would be enough to protect himself.

He wasn't worried that others would learn his self-created soul skill, Rasengan.

After all, the Soul Masters of Douluo Continent have such low levels of innovation and creativity that they would have a hard time learning even if given the principles, let alone just looking at them.
