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

Chapter 9 Blue Silver Sky Blue Lock

After absorbing the spirit ring, Jiang Li slowly opened his eyes. He saw Director Li approaching with excitement and anticipation, praising him with a smile, "Little Jiang, you've set a precedent in the spirit master world! Quickly, let me see if your spirit has changed at all."

"Um."

Jiang Li smiled and raised his right hand. A blue halo appeared, and Blue Silver Grass swarmed up around him. A clear yellow halo rose from beneath his feet, swirling around his body. These were the distinctive characteristics of a first-ring Soul Master.

The Blue Silver Grass used to be extremely ordinary, just a small grass that could be found anywhere. Although it was controllable, it was very fragile and would break with the slightest pull, making it look weak.

At this time, the Blue Silver Grass grew much larger after absorbing the Azure Vine. The originally slender Blue Silver Grass became two fingers wide and twenty centimeters long. The leaves and vines were mixed with the blue color of the Azure Vine, its toughness was enhanced, and it had a strong life force. Its overall temperament was also particularly approachable, which means that Jiang Li's martial soul origin had been enhanced.

Not only that, Jiang Li's height has also increased a lot. Before absorbing the spirit ring, he was only 1.4 meters tall, but after absorbing the spirit ring, he reached 1.5 meters tall, and the ends of his hair even had a faint blue color.

Director Li had seen Jiang Li's Blue Silver Grass martial soul before, and seeing the changes in it, he couldn't wait to ask, "What soul skill did you acquire?"

"First Soul Skill: Tree Realm Descent... Oh no, first Soul Skill: Blue Silver Azure Lock!"

Jiang Li did not answer, but instead demonstrated his soul skill with a flick of his right hand.

The next moment, the Blue Silver Grass transformed into dense, blue-green vines that spread outwards, creating a forest of Blue Silver Grass within an eighty-meter radius centered on Jiang Li.

"Huh? Are you sure this is the first soul skill?" Director Li was dumbfounded when he saw Jiang Li's soul skill. The first soul skill? Are you kidding me? Not only does it change the environment, but it's also instantaneous. Even if it's beyond the limit, it can't be like this. This is not Douluo Continent.

Jiang Li nodded and said, "Yes, it's included. My first soul skill is called Blue Silver Azure Lock. It uses soul power as the life source of Blue Silver Grass to transform it into whatever shape I want. As long as I have enough soul power, there is no limit to the length."

"Because its martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, and its spirit rings are sourced from the high-level spirit beast Azure Vine, which is also beyond its age limit, its spirit power consumption is very small, its resilience has been increased by about 30%, and it can be changed according to its wishes, for example..."

At this point, Jiang Li clapped his hands, and the vines climbed up the nearest tree. Then, with a clench of his right hand, the entire tree was pulverized into powder by the vines formed from the Blue Silver Grass.

Entangling, you need a soul skill to demonstrate it? Isn't that an inherent characteristic of all vine-type soul beasts? My martial soul inherited that, didn't it? What? You say it has to be a snake? Bullshit!

Obviously, plant-based martial souls and plant-based soul beasts are a good match. Because plants are very weak, the first few soul rings need to replenish their source energy. Once the source energy is replenished, then we can talk about the others. Of course, this doesn't apply to plant-based soul beasts that are not aggressive, such as sword bamboo.

Therefore, when he absorbed the spirit ring this time, his martial soul almost perfectly inherited the excellent characteristics of the Azure Vine.

Azure vine is known for its resilience and flexibility, and is used for hunting by binding.

After absorbing a spirit ring, the resilience is directly inherited by the martial soul, while its extensibility requires plant growth to manifest. However, the martial soul needs to consume spirit power to actively accelerate its growth. Therefore, the extensibility of the Azure Vine becomes an actively cast spirit skill without any length limit.

As for entanglement and binding, vines naturally climb by winding around obstacles during their growth. For spirit beasts, this has evolved into an instinctive hunting tactic, deeply ingrained in their genes, and is practically a defining characteristic.

Therefore, he passively inherited his martial spirit.

As for the "Ten Core Competencies of Martial Souls," which mentions plant-based Martial Souls absorbing animal spirit rings, Jiang Li can only call it nonsense. What's most important about a Martial Soul? It's its origin! Blindly absorbing spirit rings will ruin your Martial Soul. If you really absorb them like that, and then can't break through and have no solution, then you'll have nowhere to cry. It's only because Tang San is the protagonist and has bloodlines and cultivation techniques that he'll be ruined. Otherwise, he would have been completely destroyed. If Tang Hao found out, Yu Xiaogang would definitely have died a miserable death.

Jiang Li could only say that this situation was incredibly frustrating. Others had bloodlines and cultivation techniques that they could use freely, while he had nothing and had to rely on his own efforts to create his own spirit rings. If he had a backer like Tang San, he was sure he would be doing better than Tang San.

Simply put, the inheritance rate of each spirit ring is different. A plant spirit can inherit at least 70% of a plant spirit ring, while an animal spirit ring might not even reach 30%.

As fellow spirit beasts, animals' fur and scales are not something that plant spirit beasts can inherit, because these are exclusive to animals. Plants, on the other hand, are not necessarily like that. Most plants have extensibility, so Jiang Li inherited 80% of the characteristics of the Azure Vine this time.

Therefore, it is impossible for two species to inherit properly. For example, when you are looking for a girlfriend, you should look for someone who is good-looking and suitable, rather than forcing someone. Although a forced relationship is not sweet, it can quench your thirst.

Of course, Jiang Li didn't reveal everything. In the cultivation world, one must hide one's strengths. Even if you have a good relationship, it's useless. People will do anything if there's profit to be made.

In fact, Jiang Li's absorption of the spirit ring was not just like that. Take his resilience as an example, it increased by fifty percent. His martial spirit origin was also strengthened. He had just tried to cultivate, and it was twice as fast, roughly equivalent to a fourth or fifth level of innate spirit power. It was much faster than before. If that's the case, he should be able to reach the level of a Great Spirit Master before graduation.

After listening, Director Li nodded. He knew about the compatibility of spirit rings, which allowed martial souls to better inherit the characteristics of spirit beasts. Good spirit rings not only provided good spirit skills, but also made one's cultivation speed faster.

Jiang Li in front of him was one of them, not to mention that Jiang Li could absorb beyond the limit. If he had only joked about Jiang Li based on his reputation in the academy before, he now truly recognized Jiang Li as a person. Both Jiang Li's efforts and his own practice demonstrated his extraordinary nature.

After chatting for a while, the two ate some dry food and water on the spot, and then headed back.

A day later, the two finally returned to Coconut Grove City.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

"After acquiring a Soul Ring, a Soul Master can go to the Spirit Hall every month to receive a Soul Master subsidy: one gold Soul coin for a Soul Master, ten gold Soul coins for a Great Soul Master, and one hundred gold Soul coins for a Soul Venerable. Go to our Yelin City Spirit Hall branch to collect your Soul Master subsidy now."

After entering the city, Director Li parted ways with Jiang Li and returned to the college alone.

Jiang Li then arrived at the Martial Soul Branch Hall in Coconut Grove City.

Upon arriving at the entrance of the Martial Soul Branch Hall, Jiang Li took out his Martial Soul Awakening Certificate and explained his purpose, after which the gatekeeper let him in.

Not long after he went in, Jiang Li came out again, but this time he had a badge on his chest, which meant that he had become a Soul Master. As always, the Spirit Hall did not recruit him, and even if Blue Silver Grass became a Soul Master, it would not be of much use.

As for soul power, it is currently at the peak of level twelve. Although it is super-limit absorption, most of the soul power is used to replenish the origin. Otherwise, it could definitely reach level thirteen. However, for Jiang Li, the martial soul origin is more useful than soul power.

As for the Spirit Hall's inquiry about the origin of the spirit ring, Jiang Li said that he was lucky enough to encounter a hundred-year-old green vine and managed to get away with it.
