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

"Become my soul!"

Lu Ze's thoughts were transformed into clear language and transmitted through spiritual connection.

The Shadow Serpent lowered its head slightly, a hint of mockery flashing in its scarlet pupils, its forked tongue flickering.

"Hiss~"

A disdainful hiss, full of mockery.

He's a snake about to become a thousand-year-old spirit! How dare a mere human cub covet my power?

Lu Ze's thoughts echoed again, this time with an undeniable force.

"Let me have everything you have!"

"Hiss~"

The Shadow Serpent simply coiled up, resting its massive head on its body, looking completely unfazed, and even yawned.

They didn't take him seriously at all.

Lu Ze was so angry he laughed.

Goodness, this little snake cub, only a hundred years old, has quite the airs.

It seems that communication is not an option.

Then let's talk things out!

Lu Ze stopped talking and clenched his right hand in the air.

hum!

An ancient, golden longbow appeared out of thin air in his hand. Its wild, ancient, and supreme aura, like a sun suddenly appearing in this dark swamp, emanated from it all!

The golden light instantly dispelled all the darkness and dampness, illuminating the entire spiritual space in a magnificent light.

The coiled shadow snake suddenly straightened up the moment the golden light appeared, and for the first time, an emotion called "horror" appeared in its scarlet snake eyes.

What is this?!

Why does this human's martial soul possess such a terrifying aura?

That aura was ten thousand times more terrifying than the most powerful thousand-year-old soul beast it had ever seen in the Spirit Ascension Platform! It was a kind of terror originating from the deepest part of its bloodline!

Lu Ze ignored its fear and simply raised the longbow in his hand.

He bent the bow and drew the string.

There were no arrows.

But as the bowstring was slowly drawn back, a long, transparent arrow was faintly revealed.

Behind Lu Ze, a blurry yet majestic giant phantom quietly appeared. Nine blazing suns hung high in the sky, their terrifying heat, enough to incinerate everything, instantly evaporating all the water in the swamp!

"I'll ask again."

Lu Ze's thoughts became cold and grand at this moment, like the judgment of a god.

"Surrender, or die."

The bowstring has been drawn to its fullest extent...

...

As a spirit about to enter its millennium, Shadow Serpent naturally has its own ideas. Its dream is to forge itself into a new indomitable spirit, so that all its kind can be proud of it!

The family genealogy should be on a separate page!

It wasn't hatred that swelled it, but the allure of its family tree that made it waver.

Give me liberty or give me death!

Lu Ze's longbow was poised to fire...

Well, on the other hand,

Doesn't the peace between humans and spirit beasts require the joint efforts of all spirit beasts to maintain?

As one of them, how could he shirk his responsibility?

not to mention……

The Shadow Serpent looked at the human before it and the bow in his hand.

From the moment he started, he felt the faint traces of dragon blood surging within him, as if it were fearing something.

The source of the fear was that longbow.

You must know that all dragon bloodlines originate from the nine Dragon Kings! Who is this being that can instill fear in their bloodline?

"Hiss—" After the last hiss, the Shadow Serpent obediently lay sprawled on the ground, letting Lu Ze do as he pleased.

Lu Ze then released the bowstring with satisfaction and began absorbing souls.

Faintly, Lu Ze seemed to hear a voice.

heian——

...

Outside, at the Ascension Platform.

Cang Heng was observing Lu Ze with a serious expression.

Just now, he clearly felt that the soul energy of the Shadow Viper erupted with a strong sense of resistance.

This is a very normal phenomenon. After all, the soul was once an independent life, and it is inevitable that it will resist when it is absorbed.

Generally speaking, a Soul Master needs to use their spiritual power to soothe, guide, and even fight against the enemy in order to complete the fusion.

Cang Heng was prepared; if Lu Ze's mental strength faltered, he would immediately intervene to interrupt the fusion.

However, just as that resisting energy reached its peak, it abruptly disappeared.

No, it didn't disappear.

Or is it submission?

Succeeded?

Before he could figure it out, soul power began to surge within Lu Ze, who was sitting cross-legged.

A yellow halo slowly rose from beneath his feet, radiating the unique glow of a century-old soul ring.

The halo pulsed up and down before finally settling firmly on Lu Ze.

First spirit ring successfully absorbed!

Lu Ze opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing within them.

He stood up, shook his head, wondering if the sound he'd just heard was an illusion. Then he stretched his limbs, feeling an explosive power coursing through his body. Was this what it felt like to be a Soul Master? Truly extraordinary.

"Teacher." He looked at Cang Heng, who was still in a daze.

"Cough, is it all absorbed?" Cang Heng snapped out of his daze. "Was the process smooth?"

"It's alright." Lu Ze shrugged and answered casually, "It was a little uncooperative at first, but after a little training, it became obedient."

I gave him a little...education?

Cang Heng's lips twitched slightly.

You call it "slightly" to "educate" a wild and unruly shadow viper into submission in an instant?

What on earth did this kid do?

"Very good." Cang Heng nodded with satisfaction. "Now that you've become a Soul Master, try out your first Soul Skill."

"That's exactly what I was thinking!"

With a thought, Lu Ze once again obtained the golden Sun-Shooting Bow.

He stepped forward half a step with his left foot, his body slightly turned to the side, and the Sun-Shooting Bow was grasped in his hand. His right hand made a drawing motion from behind his back, and although there was nothing there, his posture was impeccable.

Immediately afterwards, the yellow spirit ring beneath his feet suddenly lit up!

hum~

A dark snake-like shadow shot out from the soul ring, coiling around Lu Ze's right arm with astonishing speed, and finally converged at his fingertips, merging with the invisible arrow.

The longbow was drawn, and a sharp aura locked onto the distant sky.

Loosen the string!

call out!

A beam of black light, almost invisible to the naked eye, shot out from the bow and flew straight into the sky!

That was not just an arrow, but seemed to be a shadow viper that had come to life!

It glides and weaves through the air, its form sometimes clear, sometimes blurry, as if it might merge into the air at any moment, its speed leaving a series of afterimages.

Cang Heng's pupils contracted.

What a great speed!

"The first soul skill is... Shadow Serpent Possession." Lu Ze's voice rang out calmly, "The effect is to imbue the arrows with the abilities of the Shadow Serpent, increasing speed and stealth."

Lu Ze didn't say much, but he knew that with this speed and his archery skills, it was basically equivalent to adding a "sure hit" attribute.

That was the case, at least in the early stages.

Its main theme is being unreasonable.

Moreover, such an amplification skill may not be strong on its own, but the problem is that there is no limit to the number of buffs!

After Lu Ze's number of soul skills increased, with multiple amplifications—

I possess an arrow capable of moving mountains, overturning seas, and vanquishing demons...

Cang Heng clapped his hands in praise: "Excellent! Speed ​​and stealth, although the boost they provide individually isn't high, are indeed more important attributes for archers when combined than pure power!"

"Even a Soul Master of the same level specializing in agility-based attacks would find it extremely difficult to dodge that arrow!"

Despite receiving the teacher's approval, Lu Ze simply smiled faintly.

correct?

Teacher, this is far from enough.

He raised his longbow again, and the yellow spirit ring beneath his feet lit up for the second time.

The same action involves drawing a bow and nocking an arrow.

But this time, the amount of soul power that Lu Ze injected underwent a subtle change.

His lips twitched slightly, and he uttered two words.

"film."

call out!

The bowstring twanged, and the black light reappeared.

However, just as the shadowy snake was released from the bow, it suddenly split in two in mid-air! It became two identical, pitch-black snake shadows, shooting out in different trajectories, intersecting each other!

The shadow snake possessed him.
