Douluo Dragon King: Martial Soul Bow, I pierce the abyss with a single arrow!

The core area of ​​the Spirit Transmission Tower is the Spirit Ascension Platform.

Although it's called a platform, it's actually a huge, independent space. Above the dome, there's a simulated blue sky and white clouds, underfoot is lush green grass, and in the distance are mountains and rivers—it's like a miniature world.

Most of the spirit beasts here are a combination of virtual and real entities and cannot be directly used as spirits.

But for Cang Heng, only by seeing these soul beasts could he understand whether he wanted them as his soul spirit.

"The spirits here are all at the hundred-year level, making them the most suitable as the first spirit ring."

Cang Heng led Lu Ze on a stroll across the grassland, where the air was filled with the fragrance of grass and the scents of various soul beasts.

"Your martial spirit is a bow. Logically, you should choose an agility-based or power-based spirit beast to acquire spirit skills that can directly enhance your attack power."

As Cang Heng walked, he analyzed the situation for Lu Ze.

"For example, the Wind Blade Wolf over there has a soul skill called 'Wind Blade' that can be attached to arrows to increase their penetration and cutting power."

He pointed to a group of blue wolf cubs chasing and playing on the grass not far away.

"Or there's the Explosive Tiger over there. Its Soul Skill, 'Explosive Strike,' can make your arrows explode when they hit the target, making them incredibly powerful."

Lu Ze looked in the direction he pointed and saw several robust tiger cubs pouncing on each other, with firelight flickering on their bodies.

Each one is a soul spirit over eight hundred years old. As the number one soul spirit, these are all excellent choices. Any soul master would probably be tempted to see them.

Lu Ze listened calmly without saying a word.

The archery martial spirit has never been particularly popular in the history of Douluo Continent. In his opinion, its biggest problem lies in its weakness in the later stages.

In the early stages, you might be able to gain some advantage by relying on physical penetration and distance.

However, in the later stages, when facing opponents with various strange defensive soul skills, displacement soul skills, and even spatial soul skills, pure physical attacks become increasingly pale and powerless.

You shoot an arrow, and the opponent just twists their body, and you've lost it all.

Others are starting to play fantasy games and reveal their true forms, while you're just shooting and shooting. What's the point of playing this?

The attack methods of bow-type martial souls are predetermined. These purely offensive soul skills are indeed remarkable in the early stages, but they are completely eliminated in the later stages.

Of course, if you're talking about numbers that are in the hundreds of thousands or millions of years, then we'll talk about another story.

It can be used as a low-level soul skill in the early stages, where support and control abilities are more important.

"teacher."

Lu Ze stopped and looked intently at Cang Heng.

"I want to choose an amplification-type spirit."

"Amplification type?"

Cang Heng was taken aback upon hearing this, clearly somewhat surprised.

Amplification-type soul skills are usually the first choice for support-type soul masters. It is indeed a bit unusual for a strong offensive archer soul master to choose an amplification-type skill as their first soul ring.

"Why?" Cang Heng didn't directly deny it, but asked with great interest, "Tell me your thoughts."

This was exactly the effect Lu Ze wanted.

A good teacher won't forcefully instill their own ideas and spout things like "There are no useless martial spirits, only useless soul masters."

Instead, it guides students to think.

"Teacher, my bow is powerful enough on its own."

Lu Ze raised his right hand, and the ancient golden longbow quietly appeared, instantly spreading an aura of savage dominance.

"I feel that a simple explosion effect would have limited impact on its performance."

"Rather than pursuing one or two powerful soul skills, I hope that every one of my normal attacks can be unique."

Lu Ze spoke these words with utmost sincerity.

This was the result of his careful consideration.

His advantage lies in the experience and instincts of a top archer from his previous life.

Give him a bow, and every shot he fires will be the result of countless hours of practice.

What he needs to do is to maximize this advantage!

Cang Heng listened quietly, the surprise on his face gradually turning into deep appreciation and admiration.

He originally thought that Lu Ze was just highly talented.

In hindsight, he was wrong.

This six-year-old child has such a clear and profound plan for his future!

This combat wisdom and strategic vision that surpasses one's age is even more valuable than innate full soul power and 147 points of mental strength!

"What a brilliant idea to 'make every basic attack unique'!"

Cang Heng clapped his hands in praise, his eyes filled with satisfaction as he looked at Lu Ze.

"You're right! But these soul skills are all designed to help you hit your opponent more effectively. As for amplification skills..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ze breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that this Title Douluo was an old-fashioned person who would force him to choose a fierce tiger or wolf or something.

Cang Heng was right; both extreme speed boosts and explosive area attacks can improve hit rate and allow for better performance.

Choosing an ordinary person would be fine, but Lu Ze is an archery athlete, so accuracy is not an issue.

"It's okay, teacher, trust my accuracy."

"Since that's the case..." Cang Heng pondered for a moment, seemingly quickly filtering suitable spirits in his mind, "A suitable spirit for bow-type martial souls, capable of providing stable amplification and possessing special effects... there is one option, but..."

He seemed somewhat hesitant.

"Teacher..." Lu Ze's gaze was resolute.

"Come with me."

Cang Heng said no more and led Lu Ze toward another area of ​​the Ascension Platform.

They walked through a dense jungle and came to a dark swamp.

The air here is damp and has a fishy, ​​sweet smell, which makes people feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"The soul you are looking for is right here."

Cang Heng pointed towards the depths of the swamp.

Lu Ze stared intently and saw a small, jet-black snake coiled on a patch of silt in the center of the swamp.

The snake was only about a foot long and as thick as a thumb, its body covered with fine scales that reflected a faint, cold light in the dim light.

On its head grew a small tuft of dark purple flesh, and its eyes were an eerie scarlet, staring indifferently at Lu Ze.

"This is... a Shadow Viper?"

Lu Ze had seen an introduction to this kind of soul beast in a book.

"That's right." Cang Heng nodded. "A hundred-year-old Shadow Viper isn't particularly venomous, but as a snake-type spirit, its spirit skills are often amplification and control-type."

Lu Ze briefly recalled the description of this soul beast in the book.

Its whereabouts are difficult to determine, giving it a certain degree of stealth, and it also carries toxins...

This also represents the effects of the soul skills it can bring.

It may be concealed, or it may be poisonous.

This is exactly what Lu Ze was thinking!

However, Lu Ze refused to accept snakes. He'd find out when Tang Wulin crippled his dragon form.

Just then, Lu Ze suddenly felt his Sun-Shooting Bow martial spirit tremble slightly! It seemed to be reacting.

The snake and Yi the Archer?

Lu Ze seemed to be deep in thought.

Could it be... the Nine-Headed Serpent?!

The most common evolutionary path for snakes is to transform into dragons. This is especially true in the Douluo Continent. However, considering the mythological background of Yi the Archer who shot down the sun...

Snake-like ferocious beasts, as well as the nine-headed serpent Xiangliu and the Nine-Headed Serpent!

Since the Sun-Shooting Bow has caused an anomaly, then we must have it!

Lu Ze made a decision.

What? You're saying that Concealment and Poison aren't buffs? Isn't applying a debuff to the enemy the same as applying a buff to yourself?!

It's better to torment others than to amplify yourself.

❛˓◞˂̵✧

"Teacher, I choose this one!"

Lu Ze spoke decisively without any hesitation.

"Have you thought it through?" Cang Heng asked to confirm. "This snake-like spirit is rather cold and sinister, which doesn't seem to match the majestic and grand feeling of your martial spirit."

"teacher,"

Lu Ze smiled slightly, his gaze fixed intently on the shadow viper.

He said, "My martial spirit is vast and powerful, naturally capable of accommodating these so-called attributes."

"Moreover, the sun's brilliance also conceals the deepest shadows. Light and darkness are two sides of the same coin."

This is a lie.

Cang Heng doesn't know, but doesn't Lu Ze know?

Of all things in the world, none is more yang than the sun.

And this bow is none other than the bow used to shoot down the sun!

In Lu Ze's view, the attribute of this bow is not light or darkness, but a kind of sacredness and justice.

Shooting down the sun to save all living beings from suffering is justice!

However, Lu Ze certainly couldn't explain it that way.

Cang Heng was completely stunned upon hearing this.

Looking at his disciple, who was only six years old, he suddenly had the illusion that he was facing a powerful expert of the same level.

Cang Heng pondered for a moment, realizing that only the Soul Master himself truly understood the situation regarding his Martial Soul.

He took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his heart.

"Since you've made up your mind, then come on!"

With a wave of his sleeve, Cang Heng transported the two of them to a special white space.

Before Lu Ze could recover, he saw a small snake in front of him.

The small snake hovered in mid-air, its scarlet eyes fixed on Lu Ze, hissing threateningly.

It was the Shadow Serpent we had just seen.

Then, a spiritual force was established between Lu Ze and the Shadow Serpent, which was Cang Heng's doing.

"Open your mind and use your soul power to accept and guide it."

Cang Heng's voice rang in my ears.

Lu Ze nodded, sat down cross-legged, and activated the innate full soul power that had just awakened within his body. Following Cang Heng's spiritual power, he slowly probed towards the shadow viper in front of him.
