Douluo Continent: From Seven Treasure Glazed Tile to Crescent Moon's Solemnity

Chapter 58 First Battle

"Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School... I remember that you usually choose speed-oriented spirit beasts as your second spirit ring, right?" Dugu Bo pondered for a moment and said, "Coincidentally, I remember there are spirit beasts like the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent on the outskirts of Sunset Forest, which should be... spirit beasts that have just reached the thousand-year level... right?"

He wasn't really sure either, since as a Title Douluo, a thousand-year-old soul beast was nothing worth remembering.

It was only because the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent was a rare, non-venomous snake-type soul beast that he remembered a little about it.

Unlike Ning Feiliu's previous life, snake-type spirit beasts in Douluo Continent are not all non-venomous just because they are large in size. Only medium to small-sized snakes are highly venomous.

Generally, the larger they are, the more venomous their fangs and the stronger their physique.

It is indeed rare to find a large, non-venomous crested snake like the crested serpent.

"The Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent, does it increase speed boost?" Ning Feiliu nodded and said, "That should work, right?"

Although he somewhat wanted his second soul ring to have a soul skill similar to Ning Tian's second soul skill, Purification, from the Douluo Continent II: The Legend of the Condor Heroes era.

But thinking about it carefully, the purification ability of the second soul skill is probably very limited, so let's just stick with the regular speed boost.

At the same time, he was somewhat curious because when each of his Crescent Moon Divine Weapon units used their current first soul skill, they would use various combo Q skills from Aphelios in the game.

For example, if Ning Feiliu's main weapon is Tongbi, then her first soul skill will become Moon Flash, which fires a powerful energy blast forward and marks the enemy hit. The next attack will track the marked enemy over a long distance.

Different off-hand weapons will produce different effects. For example, when paired with the current Soul Breaker, it becomes Soul Returning Moon Flash, which causes a Blood Blade Slash on the next attack, increasing the attack effect by 30%, while absorbing the enemy's life force to heal Ning Feiliu's current injuries.

When paired with Falling Light, it becomes Frost Moon Flash, which slows the target by a percentage and can be followed up with Frost Dark Erosion to control the opponent with gravity.

The remaining options include Phosphorus Moon Flash paired with Glowing Flame and Arc Moon Flash paired with Folding Mirror, each with its own unique effect.

Then, when other Crescent Moon Divine Weapons are used as main-hand weapons, and different Crescent Moon Divine Weapons are used as secondary-hand weapons, there will be various first soul skill combinations with different effects.

There are sixteen combinations, such as the "Shadow of the Dipper", "Shadow of the Phosphorus", "Shadow of the Earthly Frost", etc. However, when the main weapon is the "Falling Light", there is only one soul skill: "Dark Erosion of the Earthly Frost".

Even so, Ning Feiliu already has seventeen combinations of first-class soul skills...

If we include the original auxiliary pagoda's power boost, that makes eighteen soul skills.

With only one spirit ring, Ning Feiliu's number of spirit skills is comparable to that of a person with twin martial souls.

Moreover, these soul skill combinations can be used to attack different enemies and in different situations, such as when Ning Feiliu faces Tang San.

No matter how fast or eerie Third Brother's ghostly tracking is, I'm sorry, but my Soul-Severing and Jade-Piercing combination's Shadow-Splitting Area Attack plus the Jade-Piercing Weapon effect comes with a lock-on.

What do you say about the padlock? If there's a frame, just hit it!

Or it could be a combination of fireflies and falling frost, directly controlling and imprisoning the area with gravity. How are you supposed to escape then?

Ning Feiliu was very curious about what would happen if she obtained a second spirit ring, given that she only had one spirit ring and it was already like this.

Can we directly obtain the powerful soul skill, Qinghui Ye Ning?

……

After confirming that Ning Feiliu was going to absorb the soul ring of the Phoenix Tail Crested Serpent, Dugu Bo led him and Dugu Yan directly out of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

They even had to leave the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well far away, since the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was located in the core area of ​​the Sunset Forest, where the surrounding area was inhabited by soul beasts that were over 50,000 years old.

Soul beast gathering places are generally located in the outermost areas, where the age of the soul beasts living there is lower.

With the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye as the core, the outermost ring is the activity area of ​​50,000-year-old soul beasts, the next ring is the activity area of ​​soul beasts that have just broken through 10,000 years, and the outermost ring is the activity area of ​​soul beasts that have been around for more than 1,000 years.

The search didn't take long, about half a day, before Ning Feiliu, Dugu Bo, and Dugu Yan spotted two thousand-year-old phoenix-tailed crested snakes in the distance.

After all, the crest on the head of the Phoenix Tail Cockscomb Snake and its ability to fly are both quite special.

"That one... looks to be around three thousand years old, hmm... it might be a bit dangerous for you to absorb it," Dugu Bo said. "But that female crested serpent is just right... it looks to be a little over a thousand years old, so go ahead, kid."

Ning Feiliu nodded and said, "Okay, teacher."

"Fei Liu... do you want me to help you? After all, these are two soul beasts." Just then, Dugu Yan, eager to try, asked.

"No need," Ning Feiliu chuckled and said, "It's perfect... I'll use them to test my strength. You and Teacher can just watch from the side."

Then he instantly darted out, summoning his martial spirit in the leap: "The night is silent, the moonlight fills the sky!"

This time, the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda, which was meant to be an armory, did not appear. Instead, the two Crescent Moon Divine Weapons, Tongbi and Duanpo, appeared directly in Ning Feiliu's hands.

Seeing this, Dugu Yan was somewhat worried, but she still chose to respect Ning Feiliu's idea and stay where she was.

The Crescent Moon Divine Weapon is a ranged weapon, so Ning Feiliu naturally didn't need to get close; the two Phoenix-tailed Crested Snakes immediately began their attack!

Ning Feiliu raised Tongbi high and fired a high-speed soul power bullet forward!

The bullet traveled a distance of 100 meters without attracting the attention of the two crested serpents.

The next moment, a bullet hole appeared on the female crested snake!

A large amount of blood spurted from the bullet hole, which also startled two crested serpents!

The three-thousand-year-old male crested serpent was immediately enraged, emitting a rapid, piercing buzzing sound.

Ning Feiliu didn't hesitate at all and left his original position. When using Tongbi and Duanpo as weapons, his speed and attack power both increased by 20%.

Then he fired continuously with Tongbi again!

The target was naturally the female crested snake.

However, at this moment, the female crested snake realized that the attack had only caused a minor injury to its massive body, not enough to seriously injure it.

It reacted quickly and dodged directly!

Meanwhile, male crested serpents have been discovered in Ningfeiliu.

It charged toward Ning Feiliu's location in extreme rage. Ning Feiliu quickly retreated, but at the same time, he switched his main weapon to Soul Severing and then activated his first soul skill!

A split shadow!

Ning Feiliu increased his speed by another 20%, and while retreating rapidly, he used Soul Severing to continuously attack the male Phoenix Tail Crested Serpent that pounced on him!

In terms of character design, the protagonist is not a purely fragile ranged character. After all, games and reality cannot be completely the same. When using the Azure Blade, the Flame Blade, and the Falling Light as main-hand weapons, the protagonist is a ranged character, while the Soul Breaker and the Mirror Breaker make the protagonist a melee berserker.

I'm currently stockpiling chapters, planning to release a massive update after the book is published. I'll release 10,000 chapters on the first day, and add more on the second day depending on the initial subscription results. After that, I'll release at least three chapters every day, maybe even four. However, releasing 10,000 chapters is a bit difficult, as I'm currently working a regular job and writing is just a side job for me.
