In Douluo Continent, the Pope used me as a substitute for my first love.

Chapter 16: The First Soul Skill with Maxed-Out Special Effects

"Can you tell me how you did it?"

Bibi Dong hesitated for a moment, then asked.

It wasn't that the teacher lacked confidence, but rather that Wang Zhao's achievements were not only unprecedented but also truly unique.

The first spirit ring in 800 years may look like a yellow spirit ring, but if this news were to spread, it would undoubtedly cause a major earthquake in the spirit master world.

After all, many major events in this world do not appear out of thin air, but rather accumulate from small things to a great extent, and a single hair can affect the whole situation.

"It's mainly thanks to Jin Lin."

Wang Zhao smiled and explained his situation. As for the "energy (soul power) transmission method," he did not elaborate on it for the time being, only saying that it was a special method between him and Jin Lin.

Because it's not the right time for this method to be introduced yet. Even if it were to be given to Bibi Dong, it would have to be when she becomes Pope and holds real power.

Then, Wang Zhao didn't forget to add one more thing:

"The spirit is the core of a spirit master, and the body is the foundation of a spirit master. In my opinion, the strength of the spirit rings that a spirit master can absorb should not be limited, but should be directly linked to their physique."

"In other words, if a Soul Master is willing to spend years honing their body, they could potentially absorb the first Soul Ring of a thousand years, although this would undoubtedly be a waste of talent and a case of putting the cart before the horse. As for ten thousand years, that is closely related to the strength of one's mental power, which I don't yet fully understand."

The last sentence was obviously a lie, since it was inappropriate for him to bring up "soul tremor," something even a certain master didn't know about, at this moment.

Moreover, his performance today was already outstanding enough, and he should probably stop now.

Otherwise, it could lead to a decline after reaching its peak, and the consequences of extreme prosperity could be quite troublesome.

He was just a seven-year-old child.

"Physical constitution, huh...?"

At this moment, Bibi Dong murmured something, her face looking rather unpleasant.

Because she knew that Wang Zhao's words were undoubtedly another way of dragging Yu Xiaogang out of the wood and whipping him.

However, in Bibi Dong's view, Wang Zhao couldn't possibly know about her and Xiao Gang's affair, so Wang Zhao's words were just unintentional, and might even be for her benefit.

What reason did she have to teach Wang Zhao a lesson on behalf of Xiao Gang? She should even thank him.

Ultimately, Bibi Dong selectively used the "Forgetting Technique".

In her mind, Xiao Gang was still that loser, that talented but unappreciated master.

Her youth was not wasted, and all the love she gave was worthwhile.

Xiao Gang, he deserves it!

And so, the internal struggle in Bibi Dong's mind ended in a rather muddled way.

Fortunately, Wang Zhao didn't know, otherwise, he would have had to praise her a couple of times:

Being love-struck is awesome!

I'm convinced!

Of course, although the matter was briefly forgotten, an invisible thorn had undoubtedly been planted in Bibi Dong's heart.

It will suddenly burst forth and pierce through when the time is right.

There is no possibility of repair!

……

"By the way, what's your first soul skill?"

Afterwards, Bibi Dong looked at the deep yellow spirit rings floating around Wang Zhao and suddenly asked.

Although soul skills are a closely guarded secret for every soul master, Wang Zhao thought it was nothing special. After using them in public a few times, they would inevitably be exposed.

The higher the level of a Soul Master, the more they rely on overwhelming strength and don't bother with any fancy tricks.

In other words, concealing soul skills is something that can't be prevented if it's meant to be, and there's no need to prevent what can be prevented.

Without further ado, Wang Zhao activated his soul skill.

He also wanted to see the effect of his first soul skill. With Bibi Dong, a real powerhouse, standing by his side, she might be able to give him some pointers later.

Wang Zhao's soul power surged, and the deep yellow soul ring suddenly lit up, followed by a high-pitched chanting of a soul incantation:

"First Soul Skill, Holy Radiance and Auspicious Clouds!"

Swish!

In an instant, Jin Lin felt his body become much lighter, like a balloon freed from its shackles, and he suddenly "floated" off the ground and flew into the air.

Immediately afterwards, it lightly touched the ground with its feet, and wisps of white smoke appeared out of thin air, forming clouds.

The clouds and mist made the golden scales appear increasingly ethereal, then slowly spread downwards, creating a scene that resembled a living painting of cranes soaring through the clouds. However, the main character was not a crane, but a strange purple monster that resembled a mythical creature.

At the same time, faint silver light, symbolizing holiness and light, flickered intermittently, making it appear mysterious and illusory.

hiss~

Upon witnessing this scene, Wang Zhao on the ground couldn't help but think of one thing:

Even with all the special effects, it's still just flashy and overly elaborate!

Of course, whether it's just flashy or not remains to be seen.

At this moment, Wang Zhao also felt his body was much lighter, as if he could float up into the sky with the golden scales whenever he wanted.

But that's about it.

That ability to create silvery clouds and mist can probably only be used by Jinlin.

He looked up at the sky, and an irresistible urge welled up inside him.

He did not choose to suppress it.

The next moment, Wang Zhao lightly touched the ground with his feet, and just like the golden scales before, he seemed to break free from gravity and flew into the air.

Immediately, he had a thought and went straight to stand on the back of the golden scale.

The scene fell silent instantly.

Bibi Dong and Die below exchanged a glance, both sensing the meaning in each other's eyes.

For some reason, from the moment Wang Zhao stood on the back of the golden scales and they moved through the clouds, appearing and disappearing, they inexplicably felt an unparalleled harmony between the human and the beast, as if it were meant to be.

Jin Lin and Wang Zhao themselves naturally sensed it as well.

This reminded Wang Zhao of the extraordinary professions that existed only in his fantasies in his previous life—

Dragon Knight!

Although Jinlin is not yet a dragon.

"Wang Zhao, first pay attention to your soul power consumption, then carefully sense your own condition and see how it differs from before using the soul skill."

At that moment, Bibi Dong's voice came from below.

"If you still don't feel anything special in the end, then you can only test your current flight speed and treat this first soul skill as a decent flight soul skill."

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhao nodded downwards, a strange smile playing on his lips hidden beneath the clouds.

Do you really think that the Cloud-borne White Python, which possesses the bloodline of the White Dragon, is just a simple mascot?

If that's the case, does that mean we'll get protection from many ancient, unintelligent soul beasts?

Of course not.

Wang Zhao always considered himself a gentleman who would not stand under a dangerous wall, and he generally did not want to gamble with his luck. Therefore, the spirit rings he set his sights on were almost always successful and could even provide him with special and practical spirit skills.

Merely floating in the air is nothing; Wang Zhao could already sense the speed, which was ridiculously slow, far from being comparable to truly riding the clouds.

In a battlefield, he would be a target for anyone to shoot at.

This is at most an added bonus, though it's still a pleasant surprise.

The complete description of his first soul skill should be as follows—

When the soul skill is activated, a large amount of silver light and mist emanates from the Golden Scale's body, and it shares the ability to float with its master. When it is inside the silver light and mist, its concealment is greatly enhanced, and the Golden Scale's overall physical attributes are increased by 50%, and its light attribute is increased by 50%. The duration depends on the soul power consumed!
