Douluo Continent: Awakening the Original Martial Soul at the Start.

Chapter 34 Indestructible

With Yu Long and the porcupine, both titled Douluo, hunting souls was a very simple matter. Yu Long flashed to the monkey troop and knocked the golden ape unconscious with a light chop to the neck. He exuded a terrifying aura, and the surrounding monkeys fled in panic, completely ignoring the golden ape.

"Your Highness, why don't you kill it and absorb its spirit ring?"

Yu Long threw the golden ape directly in front of Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue nodded, summoned the Angelic Holy Sword, and plunged it directly into the Golden Ape's throat, ending its life. A pale purple soul ring instantly appeared.

"Do as I say, and don't be careless!" Li Fei reminded him.

"Yes, I know!"

Qian Renxue nodded solemnly, sat cross-legged on the ground, and put the Golden Ape's spirit ring on herself, beginning to absorb the power of the spirit ring.

"Porcupinefish, you stay here and watch over His Highness. I'll go and bring the soul beast that kid wanted!"

Yu Long stared at Qian Renxue for a while and found that although Qian Renxue looked pained, her soul power did not go berserk and remained within a controllable range. He then realized that the soul ring absorption had gone smoothly.

"Okay, go ahead!"

Yu Long's figure snaked towards the direction of the Vajra Bull Clan and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Li Fei could only stare at the Porcupine Douluo with boredom.

This is the advantage of having power; you basically don't feel the danger of hunting soul beasts.

Yu Long was very fast. In less than ten minutes, he returned with a five-thousand-year-old Vajra Bull. He pierced the Vajra Bull's head with a sword, and Li Fei began to absorb the soul ring.

The absorption went even more smoothly than Li Fei had imagined, and he successfully absorbed it in less than half an hour. Li Fei opened his eyes and Qian Renxue had not yet successfully absorbed it.

Li Fei stood up, and two purple soul rings slowly rose. His soul power began to surge, and dark golden soul power gushed out from his body.

"Hmm, not bad! Soul power level 22, show me your soul skill!"

"Second Soul Skill: Indestructible Vajra!"

Li Fei let out a soft shout, and immediately felt his soul power circulate through his body once, then spread throughout his entire body, turning him into a golden yellow, as if he were coated with a layer of gold powder.

"Clang! Clang!..."

The sound of metal clashing echoed as their hands touched each other, revealing their formidable defensive capabilities.

"Defense has doubled, speed and strength have also doubled, and the effects will be enhanced as soul power increases." Li Fei was very satisfied and explained the effects of his soul skill.

However, some details were still concealed. The effects of being invulnerable to blades and spears and impervious to water and fire are self-evident, and those who obtained this soul skill by hunting the Vajra Bull basically all know about it.

What truly surprised Li Fei was that after activating this soul skill, his soul power had become one with his body, soul, skills, and even will. Not only was the enhanced combat power astonishing, but it was also difficult for external forces to shake him.

In particular, the effect of integrating essence, energy, and spirit into one is a guiding light for him, laying the foundation for the future gathering of the three flowers and the convergence of the five elements.

"A very powerful soul skill. With this soul skill, plus the self-created soul skills you've researched, some low-level Soul Masters are no match for you!" the porcupine exclaimed.

"It seems we overlooked the role of the original spirit before, always thinking it was a useless spirit. Now it seems we just didn't find the right method!" Yu Long seemed to have noticed the difference between Li Fei's indestructible spirit and other spirit masters' spirits, and slowly said.

"Elder Yu Long is joking. I am only a Great Soul Master now, and I am not sure what the future holds!" Li Fei said modestly.

"Alright! Your Highness is almost finished absorbing, we can go back soon!" The porcupine interrupted the two, and the light purple soul ring under Qian Renxue's body began to slowly rotate. Her aura also changed, and three pairs of snow-white wings appeared on her back, carrying Qian Renxue as she slowly took flight.

With a burst of soul power, Qian Renxue opened her eyes, which shone with golden light. Her golden hair swayed in the wind, making her look heroic and dashing.

"Li Fei, I did it!" Qian Renxue landed and hugged Li Fei tightly, shouting happily.

"Ahem!"

Li Fei was a little confused. He coughed twice. Qian Renxue reacted and immediately let go of Li Fei. Her pretty face was also red. She looked at the two elders next to her. Yu Long's porcupines were looking at the sky and the ground, as if something had attracted their attention.

"Release your soul skill so I can see it!" Li Fei asked curiously.

"Watch closely!" Qian Renxue said smugly. She walked to the side, aimed at a big tree, clenched her right fist, and sprinted forward.

"First Soul Skill: Angel Assault"

With Qian Renxue's low shout, a golden light shield enveloped her fist, which slammed heavily into the tree. The immense force snapped the tree in half, sending it flying dozens of meters away!

"This is a soul skill that incorporates superhuman strength!" Li Fei exclaimed in surprise. Qian Renxue's superhuman strength had been stuck at the stage of condensing soul power, and her strength had not increased much. But the power of that attack just now was something that even the first ring of a thousand years could not achieve.

"That's right. My first soul skill, Angel Assault, was originally a soul skill that relied on the condensation of soul power to release. With it, I understood how to condense soul power. Combined with the techniques you taught me, my super strength can be considered to have been initially completed."

"Congratulations, Your Highness! You can go back and spend half a year refining your second soul ring before acquiring it. According to my calculations, the third ring will reach the ten-thousand-year level!"

It wasn't that Li Fei didn't want Qian Renxue to cultivate for a longer period of time, but rather that the higher the cultivation level of a soul beast, the stronger the mental impact. The theory of exceeding limits was more suitable for the first two soul rings. After ten thousand years, the mental power that could be improved through meditation was simply not enough to withstand it. Therefore, the remaining soul rings still had to be calculated according to the traditional calculation method for soul masters absorbing soul rings.

Even so, the boost from the first ring of a thousand years would allow the third ring to absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring, accomplishing an unprecedented feat.

Most importantly, for someone like Qian Renxue with innate soul power at level 20, suppressing her too much would hinder her cultivation. It would be better for her to resume acquiring soul rings normally as soon as possible.

"Okay, I'll listen to you!" Qian Renxue nodded, then said with a grin, "Now I have a combat soul skill too, so I should be able to participate in Soul Battles with you, right?"

"I didn't expect you to care about this! Fine, I'll accompany you to the Soul Battle again when you get back!"

Li Fei was helpless. Ever since the first time he participated in the Soul Battle, Qian Renxue had dragged him down because she didn't have any soul skills. He had been holding a grudge ever since. He didn't expect that even after half a year, she would still remember it so clearly.
