Chapter 18 First Soul Skill (Please continue reading!!!)

When asked by his uncle, Xu Yuan didn't keep him in suspense.

"This Five Elements Spear Spirit has something in common with both of my Heavenly Origin Brush forms, and the soul skills it bestows also have different effects in the two forms."

As he spoke, Xu Yuan summoned his Heavenly Origin Brush.

This is the form of the Heavenly Origin Brush.

"In the Heavenly Origin Brush form, my first soul skill is the Five Elements Control—the control of the five elements!"

This was a guess that Zhenhua made when he first saw Xu Yuan's Heavenly Origin Brush. He said that if Xu Yuan had a soul spirit with elemental control, he would most likely be able to obtain a soul skill with elemental control.

Now it has been achieved.

Moreover, it controls all five elements at once!

"The five elements of the Five Elements Spear Spirit itself form a balance. These five elements generate and restrain each other, which is why I inherited my first soul skill at the same time."

Xu Yuan held the Heavenly Origin Brush in his hand, and his soul power merged with the primordial energy of heaven and earth at the tip of the brush, forming drops of colorful ink.

He splashed out different inks that embodied the power of the five elements.

It was much more damaging than ordinary ink, but still limited; this was just Xu Yuan's subconscious use of it.

He gripped the Heavenly Origin Brush and waved it in the air, instantly sending out a streak of flame that fell into the distance.

boom!

Then another stream of water was flung out by him.

boom!

With another swing, platinum-gold light condensed and slashed forward.

Again, it was sketched in the air, and an earthen wall appeared out of thin air.

With a final flick, the bristles on the brush tip grew wildly, enveloping and binding the earthen wall in front of it.

Xu Shengqun was not disappointed as he watched Xu Yuan demonstrate various attacks that were not particularly lethal.

"The damage fluctuation of Soul Masters who control elements is the greatest."

This was Xu Yuan's first time experiencing elemental control, so the damage he could initially unleash was naturally limited. Xu Shengqun believed that his nephew could develop this ability well, since the power of elemental control was largely linked to the Soul Master's mental strength, and Xu Yuan's mental strength talent was nothing short of freakish.

Xu Yuan nodded, pondered for a moment, and then once again wielded the Heavenly Origin Brush in his hand.

He sketched in the air, and fireballs appeared one after another.

It is evident that as he experimented, the fireball he sketched became more and more condensed, and the temperature he emitted increased.

As Xu Yuan continued his experiment, a chilling fluctuation suddenly appeared within the fireball, as if it might explode at any moment.

"That's right, that's exactly it. Elemental control can only unleash its full power through continuous development." Xu Shengqun was also astonished by Xu Yuan's visible progress.

This fireball was drawn to the strength of a fire-attribute soul master's first soul skill.

However, it will be more difficult to further develop the power of fire element control. As Xu Yuan continued to draw fireballs, the rate at which their power increased was visibly decreasing.

At this point, Xu Yuan stopped trying.

He had just used up nearly half of his soul power, and he needed to save it to demonstrate the soul skill in the form of the Heavenly Origin Spear.

"Only half has been used up!" Xu Shengqun was shocked to learn this.

"My elemental control can be combined with the characteristics of my martial soul. No matter which elemental power I use, a large part of it will be borrowed from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth."

Xu Yuan guessed that this was why he had such difficulty improving when he tried to. Otherwise, if he had used all his soul power to convert elemental power, he could have continued to increase the temperature and explosiveness of the flame.

"As for the Heavenly Origin Spear..."

The Heavenly Yuan Brush in Xu Yuan's hand transformed completely into a metal spear. The spearhead was no longer in the form of condensed brush hairs, but a real metal spearhead.

This is also why he no longer calls it a pen gun.

With the Heavenly Origin Spear in hand, Xu Yuan felt a sense of divine inspiration.

He held the gun in his right hand and closed his eyes.

Xu Shengqun could sense that Xu Yuan's aura had subtly changed.

That's a force!

Suddenly opening his eyes, Xu Yuan thrust out his spear.

The five elements converged at the tip of the spear, and the spear seemed to pierce through space, with ripples appearing in front of it.

Xu Shengqun's pupils suddenly contracted.

Xu Yuan thrust out from the spot, and the thrust was aimed at the open space in front of him, so the power of the attack just now did not appear to be anything special to the naked eye, but Xu Shengqun perceived it very clearly.

He himself specializes in breaking through the void, and he could feel that the last shot had the momentum of breaking through the void.

"It seems that the Five Elements Spear Spirit did inherit some of my spear intent after all."

Xu Yuan nodded in affirmation of his uncle's statement, saying, "In the form of the Heavenly Origin Spear, my first soul skill is the Five Elements Spear Technique. The strike just now was the peak strike under the mutual generation of the five elements, which can attack space. If my power is strong enough, I can even pierce the void."

"The Five Elements Spear Technique?"

"Yes, the Five Elements Spear Technique is a fusion of the five elements and spear techniques. Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth correspond to five different spear techniques. The metal element spear emphasizes lethality, the wood element spear emphasizes change, the water element spear emphasizes endurance, the fire element spear emphasizes explosiveness, and the earth element spear emphasizes solidity. At the same time, the five elements can also be integrated, which is the spear I just used."

The first soul skill is not a percentage increase, and it doesn't seem to be a functional enhancement, but rather a skill-based marksmanship.

In Xu Yuan's previous understanding, this would naturally be considered a low-level soul skill.

There's no way around it. Just like Blue Silver Entanglement, even though Soul Masters can explore and develop their own techniques, they still use it to occupy a Soul Skill slot, which is completely unnecessary.

Fortunately, Xu Yuan's Five Elements Spear Technique is not a low-level skill, but a fusion of elemental power and spear technique, so it won't be easy to learn and practice on your own.

"The effect of the first soul skill seems to be quite good now. After all, my martial soul has two forms, and the Five Elements Control soul skill in the Heavenly Yuan Brush form is perfect."

As for the Heavenly Origin Spear, the Five Elements Spear Technique also provided Xu Yuan with a basic spear technique, allowing him to avoid many detours in spear techniques and save a lot of energy, which is quite good.

Of course, this is just Xu Yuan's own opinion.

In Xu Shengqun's opinion, Xu Yuan's soul skills were quite outstanding.

"Xiao Yuan, with your ability to influence the space by unifying the five elements, you should be able to practice my Heavenly Saint Void-Breaking Spear Technique." It was clear that Xu Shengqun was very satisfied with Xu Yuan's soul skill. This Five Elements Spear Technique directly laid the foundation for Xu Yuan to cultivate his unique spear technique.

After Xu Yuan became familiar with the effects of his soul skills, he also began to communicate with his soul spirit.

The Five Elements Spear Spirit, which has been around for a hundred years, may not possess true wisdom, but it has developed basic spirituality and instincts.

"Five Elements Spear Spirit, what name do you think I should give you?" Xu Yuan asked, somewhat troubled.

"I can't exactly call you Xiao Wu, can I?"

"The Five Spirits are also unsuitable."

Xu Yuan looked for answers in the Five Elements Spear Spirit and found that both of the most common naming methods conflicted.
