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

Chapter 41 Self-Healing

"The flames are merely a means to seal the entanglement of the Blue Silver Grass's branches, giving me a chance to pull the Blue Silver King out in one fell swoop!"

Seeing that no spirit rings appeared, Li Fei knew that he wanted to burn the Blue Silver Grass with its roots embedded in the ground to death with flames alone, but the power of the flames was enough.

"Second Soul Skill: Indestructible Vajra!"

His body turned dark gold, and he unleashed the Shave technique, instantly appearing near the nearest Blue Silver King. He threw a punch, slamming it into the ground. Soul power surged forth, and his monstrous strength erupted in an instant, causing the ground to crack.

Li Fei grabbed the Blue Silver King and uprooted it, then ran towards the edge of the Blue Silver Grass area.

The Blue Silver King in his hand extended hundreds of roots and branches to wrap around Li Fei, trying to restrict his movements. The Blue Silver Grass soul beasts on the ground also began to unleash their soul power, stretching out their branches to try to grab Li Fei.

"I came prepared!"

The storage bracelet flashed, and several grenades appeared in its hand. It was thrown directly into the Blue Silver Grass area. A violent explosion rang out, and more than a dozen Blue Silver Grass plants turned into ashes. Immediately, more than a dozen yellow and purple soul rings floated out.

With the cover of the grenades, Li Fei successfully escaped the area where the Blue Silver Grass spirit beasts lived, but he was also tightly bound by the Blue Silver King in his hand, making it very difficult to move.

"Now that we're out of the Blue Silver Grass's area, there's not much need to preserve our soul power!"

"Purge and Golden Light"

His muscles tensed, his soul power circulated rapidly within his body, and golden light began to appear on his dark golden skin, bursting out in all directions. The violent energy directly tore the Blue Silver King on his body apart inch by inch, causing it to fall to the ground, leaving only the roots still in Li Fei's hand.

"They're still alive! Truly worthy of being called soul beasts that represent life!"

Looking at the Blue Silver King's roots in his hand, which were still full of vitality and constantly wriggling, Li Fei was very surprised. This vitality was not much different from that of the Blue Silver King in its prime.

The roots continued to grow new branches and leaves, wrapping around Li Fei's body. Helpless, Li Fei frowned slightly and once again unleashed his metal-attribute soul power to crush the newly grown branches and leaves.

"I need to find a safe place to absorb the spirit ring as soon as possible; it's too dangerous here!"

Instead of destroying the roots of the Blue Silver King, Li Fei began running towards the tree hole where he was hiding, destroying the newly grown branches and leaves of the Blue Silver King as he went.

They quickly returned to the tree hollow, scattered powders of various materials that soul beasts disliked outside, and only entered the tree hollow after sensing that there was no danger around. They sealed the entrance with tree bark so that no flaws could be seen from the outside, and then used their metal-attribute soul power to crush the roots of the Blue Silver King.

A black spirit ring landed inside the tree hole, and Li Fei quickly sat down cross-legged and began to absorb it.

As the spirit ring was placed on his body, streams of gentle yet vital spirit power began to flow into his body continuously. The phantom of the Blue Silver King also appeared in his spiritual world, constantly clashing with Li Fei's soul.

However, the Blue Silver King was naturally gentle and not good at fighting. Even as a remnant soul, he was able to attack Li Fei, but Li Fei's soul gradually refined him, strengthening his own foundation.

Three hours passed quickly, and Li Fei slowly opened his eyes, looking down at the newly appeared fourth spirit ring, his eyes revealing joy.

"As expected, my guess was right. The Blue Silver King granted me a life-related soul skill! This 20,000-year-old Blue Silver King gave me a self-healing soul skill. Even without actively activating my self-healing ability, it is extremely powerful. The wounds inflicted by the Gale Wolf have all healed, and the hidden injuries left over from my training since childhood have also recovered!"

At this moment, Li Fei felt unusually relaxed, as if he had been freed from shackles. Even the speed at which his soul power circulated within his body had increased significantly, and his entire body radiated a faint blue light.

As Li Fei finished absorbing the Blue Silver King Soul Ring, the trajectory of his soul power began to change. Except for the Ren and Du meridians, all the other eight extraordinary meridians were now open.

The soul power within the body was barely forming a cycle. The liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys began to grow stronger under the nourishment of the soul power of various attributes. Even the heart was strengthened considerably in the process of mutual generation of the five elements, barely keeping up with the rhythm.

"Next is the heart, the key to explosive power. This spirit ring must be chosen carefully!"

With his original martial soul and the power of his third soul skill, Perception, Li Fei clearly sensed the condition of his body. The cycle of the five elements had been barely formed, but due to the lack of a fire attribute soul ring, his heart was weaker than the other five internal organs.

However, it was precisely because of this that Li Fei understood that it was feasible to use the Five Elements Soul Rings to construct an internal circulation. Once the fire-attribute soul beast successfully absorbed it, he would possess an incredibly terrifying explosive power, and at that time, it would be possible to fight beyond the current stage.

Most importantly, the circulation of the five internal organs strengthens them, increasing the efficiency of body tempering and allowing for a steady increase in personal strength. This is another point that Li Fei values.

"It's time to go back! It's been over three months, and Mom will start to worry if we don't go back soon!"

Recalling his mother's angry expression, Li Fei couldn't help but shudder. He activated his third soul skill, sensed that there were no dangerous soul beasts or humans within a 200-meter radius, and then tore open the tree bark and crawled out of the tree hole.

Because he had ventured deep into the forest in search of Blue Silver Grass, Li Fei's location had already shifted. He took out a map to check the direction and headed towards Barak City. With his perception skill, he easily bypassed the dangerous areas and quickly arrived at the outer edge of the Star Dou Forest.

"Why does the air smell like blood?!"

Not long after leaving the forest, Li Fei's nose twitched slightly, and a faint smell of blood rushed to his head. Having killed several Soul Masters in the forest, and with the five senses brought by his Martial Soul, he instantly understood that this was the smell of human blood.

Originally, Li Fei didn't want to get involved in other people's business, but the direction from which the smell of blood was coming was the only way he could get to Barak City. If he took a detour, it would take him several more days.

Carefully following the direction from which the smell of blood wafted, Li Fei made his way forward. After half an hour, he saw a burning village and heard screams from time to time, which made him frown. He slowly made his way over.

Concealing himself amidst the ruins, Li Fei instantly peered into the village. There, he saw a young man dressed in fine clothes, with bat wings on his back and a wicked smile on his face, placing his hand on the head of a robust villager. The young man was surrounded by five optimally configured spirit rings. In less than a minute, the villager, who appeared to be a spirit master, was completely desiccated and left to rot beside him. There were also hundreds of corpses piled up there, each with an expression of terror, pain, and hatred on its face, making it look extremely horrifying. Most importantly, there were also many children's corpses among them.

Beside him stood twelve soldiers clad in dark red armor, their faces cold and indifferent as they watched everything unfold.
