Douluo Continent: The Martial Soul is actually Bibi Dong.

Chapter 18 Piapia Sound

The black-backed porpoise that was originally rooting in the soil suddenly shuddered the moment Su Mo shot the arrow.

Clearly, the soul beast's sense of crisis made it realize something.

Pfft~

Before the black-backed dolphin could react and dodge, a black line pierced its ear in an instant.

"v~~"

Struck by the arrow, the black-backed porpoise let out a shrill scream and jumped around in place, trying to shake the arrow off its head.

shhhhh--

But it was met with yet another wave of arrows.

Puff puff--

Su Mo's volley of arrows all hit the black-backed dolphin precisely, but not its weak points. The arrows only pierced the dolphin's fur, and the wounds were not deep.

Even so, the black-backed dolphin collapsed and could not get up after struggling for a while.

Su Mo's first arrow had already caused a fatal wound!

The arrow was already piercing its brain, and the black-backed dolphin was still able to struggle for a while, which is already quite remarkable.

hum-

Then, a white, ten-year-quality soul ring appeared on the corpse of the black-backed porpoise, which had cultivated for fifty years.

"this……"

Bibi Dong was stunned as she watched Su Mo effortlessly hunt down a soul beast with fifty years of cultivation.

She never expected that Su Mo could actually hunt soul beasts without any soul rings or soul skills, and do so so easily.

"That bow..."

Bibi Dong then noticed that the bow in Su Mo's hand looked strange and was very different from the bow she remembered.

Of course, these were all secondary. The important thing was that she discovered that the power of the arrows fired by Su Mo's bow was much stronger than that of ordinary arrows.

As long as he finds the vital point of the soul beast, Su Mo can kill not only a soul beast with fifty years of cultivation, but also a soul beast with thousands of years of cultivation.

"This bow looks a lot like the Zhuge Crossbow that Tang San will create in the future, only the Zhuge Crossbow is more refined and more powerful..."

The shocked Bibi Dong quickly realized that Su Mo was able to hunt soul beasts so easily by relying on that pulley-type composite bow.

This wasn't achieved through Su Mo's own abilities; it was accomplished with the help of a bow and arrow combined with a sneak attack!

Even so, Bibi Dong still looked somewhat embarrassed.

Thinking back to how she had just confidently persuaded Su Mo, it was because she believed that Su Mo couldn't hunt soul beasts.

Now they've been proven wrong, and the slap in the face is resounding!

If she had known Su Mo had this ability, she wouldn't have come out.

Su Mo didn't know Bibi Dong's reaction, nor was he interested in knowing. After seeing that even the Black-backed Pig's spirit rings had been exposed, Su Mo knew that the other party was indeed dead.

Su Mo then walked toward the carcass of the black-backed dolphin.

Looking at the white spirit ring floating above the spirit beast's corpse, Su Mo's eyes were filled with curiosity.

"Is this a spirit ring? It feels just like getting a new piece of equipment..."

Looking at the white spirit ring before him, Su Mo clicked his tongue in admiration.

However, Su Mo definitely wouldn't absorb this 10-year soul ring with 50-year quality. He only hunted the black-backed porpoise to test how difficult soul beasts were to deal with.

Now it seems that soul beasts are not so difficult to deal with.

He hasn't even set a trap yet!

Su Mo retrieved the arrows stuck in the soul beast's corpse one by one. He was quite satisfied with the power of the bow and arrow, since he had a blacksmith forge them. They were rather rough, stronger than ordinary bows and arrows, but not as good as the Zhuge Divine Crossbow forged by Tang San.

Afterwards, Su Mo summoned the Soul Hunter Spear and tried poking the black-backed dolphin's corpse.

Sure enough, with his current martial spirit strength, even if the black-backed porpoise was already dead, he would have a hard time harming it.

However, when Su Mo fused the Soul Hunter Spear with the forged iron spear, the effect was different.

Puff puff--

Su Mo gripped his spear tightly, thrusting and retracting repeatedly... leaving several bloody gun barrels on the black-backed porpoise's corpse.

really.

If your martial arts skills aren't enough, your weapons will do!

No matter how skilled you are in martial arts, you're still afraid of a kitchen knife!

People should know how to make use of everything that is available to them.

After the test, Su Mo casually twirled the spear, then flicked the tip to shake off the bloodstains.

"Goddess Sister!"

Su Mo then turned to look at Bibi Dong.

"What is it?"

Bibi Dong didn't want to talk to Su Mo, thinking that Su Mo was going to mock her.

"Goddess, the limit of what one can withstand when absorbing a spirit ring is related to the strength of the other party's spirit and physical strength, right?"

However, to Bibi Dong's surprise, Su Mo did not mock her previous misjudgment of his strength, but instead asked about serious matters.

"That's right!"

"You're asking me about the limit of what your first spirit ring can absorb, right?"

Bibi Dong glanced at Su Mo in surprise, then asked in return.

Although it was a rhetorical question, Bibi Dong's tone made it very clear that Su Mo wanted to ask her this.

This ambitious brat probably wants to absorb as many soul rings as he can handle as possible.

There's no other reason than that she went through the same thing back then.

"Um, Goddess Sister, can you determine the maximum age limit for the first spirit ring I can absorb?"

Su Mo nodded. Since Bibi Dong had shown herself, he would take the opportunity to ask her for advice.

Although he had his own judgment, he still wanted to hear Bibi Dong's opinion on this matter.

In terms of physical strength, Su Mo believes that he is much stronger than Tang San was at the age of 6.

However, in terms of the strength of his martial soul, Su Mo's is inferior to Tang San's.

With the knowledge Su Mo has learned so far, he doesn't know whether these factors affect the absorption of spirit rings more, or whether the strength of the spirit or the physical body is more important.

If Bibi Dong hadn't appeared, Su Mo would have only sought out a soul beast with a cultivation level of around four or five hundred years.

Now, it all depends on what Bibi Dong has to say.

"Let me think..."

Upon hearing Su Mo's admission, Bibi Dong also began to ponder.

She felt it was necessary to improve the relationship between the two parties, as things couldn't continue like this. Moreover, after being humiliated by Su Mo time and time again, she wanted to prove herself.

Watching Su Mo's figure, Bibi Dong began to calculate seriously.

She had always known that Su Mo had a high level of physical strength, and she had also witnessed how Su Mo had managed over the years.

It was only when she thought about it carefully that she realized that Su Mo's physical strength was actually no weaker than that of a Great Soul Master.

The limit of a Soul Master's ability to absorb Soul Rings actually depends more on the Soul Master's physical strength, while the strength of the Martial Soul is secondary, but still very important.

Let's split it 70/30!

After Bibi Dong carefully calculated Su Mo's current situation, she was immediately surprised.

Then, Bibi Dong looked at Su Mo in surprise and said, "Little guy, the limit your first spirit ring can withstand is 600 years! That's more than a hundred years longer than that kid Tang San!"

To be honest, Bibi Dong was quite surprised when she calculated this result.

Su Mo's first spirit ring was actually of higher quality than Tang San's!
