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

Chapter 97 Dark Demon Halberd and Demon Set (Censored, tried to unblock twice but failed, posting for free first)

After an unknown amount of time, Li Fei regained consciousness and slowly opened his eyes. What came into view was Qian Renxue, whose body was covered in bloodstains. The various scenes from before instantly flashed through his mind, and Li Fei was filled with guilt and heartache. He used his blood and soul power to heal her.

"Unexpectedly, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger still possesses a portion of the evil god's divine power, amplifying its negative emotions and causing it to lose its sentience. Fortunately, its bodily instincts remain intact, and with the addition of Xue'er's divine power, it didn't cause Xue'er further harm!!"

Li Fei chuckled self-deprecatingly, thinking back to how he had doubted his ability to use twelve types of soul power. He found it laughable. In the future, as long as his cultivation level was high enough, he would be able to fully master even hundreds of types of power, let alone a mere twelve!

"Ultimately, it's because of the shortcuts I took in my cultivation method that my mental strength is inferior to that of a true Core Formation expert. I need to pay close attention to this from now on."

"However, the benefits gained this time are also enormous!"

The power within his body was now as responsive as his own arm, and he could control it at will. With a thought, he could reach every part of his body. He had also fully mastered the level 63 soul power that originally required at least a month to fully grasp.

Looking at Qian Renxue with heartache, Li Fei held her in his arms and fell asleep again.

The next day, the two woke up, and Li Fei apologized for what had happened. Qian Renxue didn't mind and accepted the fact. In fact, the incident made their relationship even stronger.

Qian Renxue stayed for another week before reluctantly returning to Tiandou City to continue playing the role of Xue Qinghe.

"As expected of a land of beauties and a tomb of heroes, I've been a bit lax in my cultivation these past few days!"

After reluctantly seeing Qian Renxue off, Li Fei sighed and began to seize the time to cultivate. During the week he spent with Qian Renxue, he discovered that after absorbing the inner core of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, he had also gained some characteristics of an Evil Soul Master and could also absorb soul power to cultivate.

Of course, Li Fei couldn't devour other soul masters to cultivate like an evil soul master. Doing so would not only pose a hidden danger but would also incur the hatred of all soul masters on the continent, just like the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's status among soul beasts.

However, not being able to absorb the soul power of a Soul Master does not mean that one cannot absorb the energy of other things.

Arriving at the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, he flipped his hand, and the crimson crystal he had obtained earlier appeared. He placed it in his hand and held it in front of him. It was formed entirely from the crystallized soul power released by the inner core of the Chongming Bird. Since the soul power had become solid, it could not emit any soul power fluctuations.

"Luckily, I didn't force it to break because I was afraid that shattering this crystal would cause the Chongming Bird's inner core soul power to dissipate. Now it's perfect for my cultivation!"

His soul power and blood energy circulated rapidly within his body. Crimson soul power surged from the crystal, and wisps of red smoke were absorbed into Li Fei's body, transforming into his own soul power. Coupled with the unique environment of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, he had never felt such a rapid cultivation speed before.

"Excellent! With this Bright Bird's inner core, I estimate it won't take me more than two years to reach the Soul Saint level!"

Feeling a throbbing pain within his body, Li Fei stopped cultivating. Looking at the unchanging crimson crystal in his hand, a smile appeared on his lips. He then planned to search for other rare and precious materials that could improve the speed and quality of his soul power cultivation.

The first thing that comes to mind is the Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Marrow that accelerates the transformation of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, and then there is the spring water in the Yin-Yang Well behind him. As a spring water containing the two extreme energies of ice and fire, the energy contained in it is no less than that of the Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Marrow.

Moreover, with the corpses and remnants of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings providing a continuous source of energy, it can be described as a true treasure trove.

"Well, once I've fully absorbed the soul power crystal outside the Chongming Bird's inner core, I'll begin consuming the two immortal herbs from the two major ceremonial eyes!"

Looking at the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot, Li Fei made up his mind. After absorbing the Soul Power Crystal, he estimated that his Soul Power would reach level 70. He could take advantage of the opportunity to obtain the seventh Soul Ring to consume these two immortal herbs, allowing his Martial Soul to undergo another transformation and achieve a higher level of awakening.

With the help of the Chongming Bird's inner core, Li Fei's focus will now be on cultivating his mental strength, martial arts, and creating soul tools.

After completing his cultivation, Li Fei returned to the Body Sect and taught Oscar, Hu Zi, and others how to cultivate for a while before returning to his room. He then took out the corpse of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger from his storage bracelet.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is a treasure trove, especially its tail with the Evil God Hook. The tail is nearly three meters long and is made entirely of joints. It can extend and retract. I tried it and it was about two meters long when retracted and could extend to five meters. It can be said to be the best material for making soul tools.

He intended to use the tiger's tail to craft a weapon suitable for himself. With his right hand forming a sword-like gesture, he gathered sharp energy and slowly severed the tail from the root, before returning the remaining body to his storage bracelet.

Then he took out more than a dozen kinds of precious metals from his storage bracelet, including diamond gold, blazing sun iron, crystal steel, sunken silver, mithril, black steel, extraterrestrial meteorite iron, deep sea sunken silver, etc., all of which were Li Fei's collection over the years.

"To create a soul tool unique to me, using the tiger's tail as the core and these metals, is a huge undertaking!"

Li Fei sighed, stretched out his hand, and a ball of golden holy flame appeared, beginning to remove the fur and flesh from the tiger's tail. All he needed was that incredibly hard tiger bone tail.

It took Li Fei more than two hours to clean the hair and flesh off the tiger's tail. He gently touched the evil god hook at the end of the tail and immediately felt a pain in his finger as a small wound appeared on his hand.

"It's indeed sharp enough. When I use your blade as a halberd, its power will be astonishing."

Nodding in satisfaction, Li Fei went to the underground laboratory, where he had replicated a furnace based on his scientific knowledge from his previous life. With the addition of a magic array, the temperature inside could reach three thousand degrees Celsius, enough to melt any metal there.

In addition, there is a forging hammer made entirely of black iron, weighing a full two thousand catties, which allows Li Fei to forge any metal.

Taking out a carving knife made from meteorite iron, Li Fei began to carve various magic array patterns on the tiger bone. He was very careful and slow, and every cut was just right. This process took three hours.

In the following days, besides cultivating and teaching Oscar and others, Li Fei spent the rest of his time in the underground laboratory, carefully creating his own exclusive soul tool. It was engraved with various basic magic arrays such as amplification, transformation, hardness, sharpness, weight, and flexibility, densely covering the entire tiger tail.

He threw half of his metal collection into the furnace in a certain proportion, turning it into molten iron that flowed into a nearby mold. Inside the mold, the tiger's tail, already fully carved, lay there. As the molten iron entered the mold, it seeped into the tiger's bones, filling in the various carved patterns.

Once the mold was completely filled and had cooled slightly, Li Fei enveloped his right hand with his soul power, picked it up, and placed it into the cold spring water taken from the Yin-Yang Well next to him to begin quenching.

"laugh!"

Thick steam instantly filled the entire underground research lab. Li Fei exhaled slightly, and a terrifying airflow forced the thick steam towards the ventilation opening and then expelled it outside.

The halberd was taken out of the spring water. Its silvery-white body was covered with various black and gray patterns, making it look very imposing.

He then put the halberd back into the furnace and heated it until it was red-hot. After taking it out, he picked up the black iron forging hammer next to him and began to use the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique to forge it into a weapon and length that suited him.

Then, it was taken out and quenched, and a magic array was carved on it with a carving knife. It was then forged and quenched again. In this way, it took two months from start to finish to finally forge a two-meter-long silver-gray halberd.

"According to the remaining data within the Spirit Hall, this halberd should be classified as a level six soul tool, but its hardness and toughness are indeed much stronger than level nine soul tools, making it very suitable for my use!"

Without using his soul power, he lightly swung his sword, and a dark gray slash carved a huge gash in the laboratory floor. Li Fei was very satisfied; the weight and length were just right.

Moreover, the battle halberd can extend and retract freely, change size, devour the enemy's soul power and life force to nourish its master and evolve itself. Combined with Li Fei's unpredictable strength, the attacks will become bizarre and unpredictable.

"Since it's based on the tail of the Dark Demon God Tiger, from now on I'll call you the Dark Demon Halberd!"

"Since the tail has already been used, the body's skeleton cannot be wasted either. I have already analyzed the materials for the Ruyi Soft Armor, and with my strength, the metal I create will far exceed the strength of the one Lou Gao made."

After obtaining the Ruyi Soft Armor, Li Fei not only gave the women's set to Qian Renxue, but also disassembled the men's set and continuously studied the materials inside. Finally, he managed to figure out all the raw materials and added some new materials to improve the strength and toughness without damaging its original memory and extensibility.

Li Fei didn't waste the skin and meat by skinning the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's corpse and throwing it into the furnace to burn. Rather, the meat of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was truly inedible, containing extremely evil energy. Not only did it taste nauseating, but the evil energy could also infect the human body and harm human health.

After scattering the tiger bones and heating the furnace to a red-hot temperature, Li Fei began to forge his own battle armor using Ruyi Metal. Following the same process, he carved various magic arrays learned from the Spirit Hall onto it. After another two months, he finally succeeded in forging it.

Li Fei named the armor the Demon Set, which was modeled after the Black God Set from Devouring. With the help of various magic arrays in the Douluo World, the Demon Set can form a protective battle suit at will, just like the Black God Set. It can even cover the entire body 100%, providing comprehensive protection for any part of the body, including the mouth and nose.

It simply couldn't deflect 90% of the impact force, only reaching 80%, with the remaining 20% ​​distributed throughout the body. Moreover, its hardness and toughness were not as good as the Black God Set. According to Li Fei's estimation, once the attack power reached the level of a Title Douluo, it could forcibly break through the defense and attack Li Fei's main body.

However, the Evil God Set has an advantage over the Black God Set: it possesses the ability of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger to devour soul power. It can devour 50% of a Soul Master's soul power attack, which can also nourish Li Fei and evolve himself, enhancing Li Fei's endurance.

"When we have time later, we'll also make a set for Xue'er, Mom and Dad, and Xiao Fan. These are life-saving artifacts!"

Li Fei was equally satisfied with the Evil God Set. As for the difficulty in defending against the attacks of Title Douluo, that was not a problem for Li Fei. As long as he continued to nourish it with soul power and blood, these two pieces of equipment would definitely be enhanced. At that time, it would not be impossible for them to defend against the attacks of Title Douluo, or even Super Douluo and Limit Douluo.

The enhancement effect comes from the tiger bones of the Dark Demon God Tiger.

Of course, the armor given to his parents and Qian Renxue would not be made of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, since there was only one. Li Fei planned to make their armor entirely of precious metals, striving to defend against the attacks of the Soul Douluo.

After transforming the Evil God Set into a wristband and putting it on his wrist, Li Fei stepped out of the underground laboratory after a long absence. He took a breath of fresh air, gave some instructions to Oscar and the others, and then headed towards Tian Dou City. He was going to spend some time with Qian Renxue. They hadn't seen each other for four months, and she probably had some feelings for him!

Li Fei entered the East Palace without hindrance using the token, and then entered the Wenhua Hall with some trepidation.

Inside the palace, Xue Qinghe, who was transformed from Qian Renxue, was honing her spiritual power, while the Crown Princess was writing furiously, reviewing the memorials that had been sent to her.

"My lord!" Upon seeing Li Fei enter, the Crown Princess put away her memorial, nodded to Li Fei, and went into the room next door.

Qian Renxue opened her eyes, gave Li Fei a cold look, and then continued to cultivate with her eyes closed. However, her original appearance as Xue Qinghe changed back to that of Qian Renxue.
