Douluo Continent: From Blue Silver Grass to Nine-Leaf Sword Grass

Chapter 14 Star Sword Leaf

With the soul ring entering his body, the immense soul power was impacting Jiang Li's internal organs. The scorching soul power spread throughout his meridians, causing Jiang Li great discomfort.

"I was too hasty. As expected of a mutant, its soul power is indeed formidable."

The moment Jiang Li sensed the immense soul power, he knew he had acted rashly. A thousand-year soul ring was indeed different from a hundred-year soul ring, not to mention this was a mutated type, whose soul power was far stronger than that of an ordinary thousand-year soul ring. However, Jiang Li knew that this soul power was like a rootless duckweed, and although it was a bit uncomfortable to hold on to, he could still accept it.

Dean Yang, however, was not worried at all when he saw Jiang Li's condition. He knew Jiang Li's vitality all too well, and this was just a minor discomfort for him, nothing serious.

Two hours later, Jiang Li woke up from absorbing the soul ring, and no soul beasts came out to disturb him during this time.

"How is it? What is the soul skill?" Seeing that Jiang Li had regained consciousness, Dean Yang asked impatiently.

"Second Soul Skill: Starry Rain of Swords!"

Jiang Li didn't keep them in suspense; he answered with his actions.

Jiang Li brought his index and middle fingers together, forming a sword-finger shape. With a flick of his wrist, his second soul ring lit up, and hundreds of sharp sword energies shot out.

Like a Gatling gun bullet, its pale purple sword aura shone brightly in the night sky.

"This..." Dean Yang was shocked by Jiang Li's second soul skill.

It should be noted that Jiang Li's first soul skill is instantaneous and can be cast at will. His second soul skill is also instantaneous, and its effect is the same as that of the sword bamboo. Could it be that the Blue Silver Grass is particularly suitable for producing instantaneous soul skills?

Stopping his movements, Jiang Li explained with a smile, "This is my second soul skill, Starry Sky Sword Rain! It allows me to unleash sharp starry sky sword energy with my fingers, piercing the enemy's vital points. No charging is required. Moreover, its power and speed will continuously increase as my soul power increases."

"And this is just the low-consumption version; there are also more advanced ones, such as..."

brush~

At this point, Jiang Li waved his right hand.

The Blue Silver Grass surrounding Jiang Li grew rapidly in the wind, instantly doubling in size. Then, the Blue Silver Grass trembled slightly, and dozens of leaves shot out from its body, scattering towards the ground in front of Jiang Li.

This attack method is exactly the same as the attack launched by the Sword Bamboo Guardian Domain before.

Jiang Li carefully sensed the consumption of his soul power and found that one-fifth of his soul power had been consumed in an instant.

"This method uses the Blue Silver Grass's own body to launch leaves, consuming about one-fifth of its power, but its strength is not very great. Soul Masters of the same level can easily block it," Jiang Li explained.

Dean Yang was somewhat astonished by the destructive power of Jiang Li's second soul skill.

Well, the upper limit is high, but the lower limit is very low. The sword finger attack deals extremely high damage and its power can be increased as the soul power level increases. The sword rain attack is not so good. The dozens of sword leaves launched quickly dissipate on the ground and cannot be maintained for long.

However, it was already sufficient for Blue Silver Grass, and he believed that Jiang Li had his own reasons for choosing this spirit ring.

"Hmm... Your soul skill is decent, with a high ceiling and a low floor. Although I don't know what you're going to do or how you're going to cultivate your martial soul, I know you definitely won't absorb a useless soul ring," Dean Yang explained.

In fact, Jiang Li didn't finish speaking. His second soul skill could also draw upon the power of the stars. When his soul power was insufficient, he could use the power of the stars to replenish his soul power and attack, just like the sword bamboo. It was like carrying a power bank. As for the direction and distance restrictions, there were almost no limitations. The Blue Silver Grass could go as far as its soul power could support it.

Moreover, the Blue Silver Grass's resilience has increased by 40%, and its leaves and main stem are now extremely close to the strength of ordinary swords. The Blue Silver Grass can now be said to have escaped the ranks of useless martial spirits.

In addition, Jiang Li's martial soul essence has been replenished, and he should now be at the fifth level of the innate realm, a level extremely close to the Blue Silver King. As for his soul power, it is at the mid-twenty-second level, which can be considered a genius.

"However, I'm afraid you can't go to the Spirit Hall to upgrade your second spirit ring. After all, a second ring after a thousand years is too conspicuous. Even if you have someone behind you, it won't work. The secret of absorbing spirit rings beyond your level can make many people target you, let alone if you don't have anyone behind you," Dean Yang advised.

The tallest tree in the forest is bound to be felled by the wind. Jiang Li naturally understood this. Absorbing a spirit ring beyond one's level allowed the younger generation of powerful forces to cultivate faster and become stronger. Even with his useless spirit, Blue Silver Grass, he could absorb a spirit ring beyond his level. What about them? Could they also absorb spirit rings beyond their level? If he were to expose his second spirit ring of a thousand years, the consequences would be unimaginable. At that time, all the major forces would target him.

Thinking of this, Jiang Li nodded and said, "I know the consequences, so I won't reveal my soul rings to others until I find a way."

At this point, Jiang Li raised his question, saying, "By the way, Dean, your martial soul..."

"My martial spirit is the Soul-Breaking Spear, right? It's actually quite simple, because I'm a member of the Soul-Breaking Clan." Jiang Li's words were interrupted by the dean halfway through.

"Since you study theory, you should know that the Soul-Breaking Spear is the inherited martial soul of the Breaking Clan, one of the four major single-attribute sects. As for why I am here at the Coconut Grove City Soul Master Academy, I have to go back to six years ago," Dean Yang said with a sigh.

"My real name is Yang Potian. Six years ago, a major event occurred in the Soul Master world, which you should have heard about. Haotian Douluo Tang Hao broke through to the Title Douluo level. For some unknown reason, he clashed with the Spirit Hall and fought against the Spirit Hall personnel led by Qian Xunji. Tang Hao, with his newly broken through Title Douluo cultivation, fought against three Title Douluos and severely injured Qian Xunji. After returning to the Spirit Hall, Qian Xunji died from his injuries."

After Qian Xunji's death, the Spirit Hall sought revenge. The new Pope, Bibi Dong, led the Spirit Hall to attack the Clear Sky Sect. However, the Clear Sky Sect, in order to protect its sect, expelled Tang Hao from the sect and abandoned the four sects of single attribute to go to the Clear Sky Sect's ancestral land. From then on, the Clear Sky Sect closed its mountain.

After the Clear Sky Sect closed its mountain, the Spirit Hall, in an attempt to save face, launched a retaliatory attack against the four sects with single-attribute attributes. The four sects fought back fiercely but paid a heavy price. At this point, a hint of hatred flashed in Dean Yang's eyes.

Yang Potian was not angry about anything else, but about the attitude of the Haotian Sect. They were abandoned so easily, and they did not treat the four sects of the single attribute as human beings at all. They made us take the blame for their own mess, and we did not know what was going on. We could only passively accept it and made them pay a heavy price.

Yang Potian continued after a short while, "As for why I am in the Soul Master Academy, it was a friend who helped me. In my early years, I damaged my foundation due to certain events, which resulted in insufficient talent. Otherwise, I wouldn't still only be a Soul King. After that incident, I asked someone to help me find a job at the Soul Master Academy in order to find out what happened."

Jiang Li listened to the dean's words with a look of astonishment. He thought to himself, "So that's what happened. I never would have guessed."

However, he disapproved of Haotian Sect's actions. They had worked hard for him for decades, and even if they hadn't made any great contributions, they had still put in a lot of effort. To just throw them away like that was incredibly brainless. No wonder things turned out this way.
