Douluo Continent: From Rusty Spear to Emperor-Slaying Spear

Chapter 14 Thunder-Slaying Triple Kill

With the death of the Blood Eagle who had undergone tribulation, its corpse floated on the water's surface, and a purple soul ring appeared around it.

"Xiao Ji, this thunderstorm isn't suitable for absorbing a spirit ring. Quickly put the Blood Eagle Hand into your spirit tool and find a safe place to absorb it later!"

"Now that the Tribulation-Transcending Blood Eagle is dead, the scent emanating from the surrounding soul beast corpses will likely attract a large group of ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts in no time. We must leave quickly."

"it is good."

Ji Wuming had no objection to Dean Shui's reminder. The spirit ring would not disappear within an hour, and he only needed to absorb it within that time period.

He immediately collected the soul beast's corpse and the soul ring it generated, and with Dean Shui's flying soul skill, he quickly flew away from the area. Just as they left, hundreds of water centipedes, water snakes, and some sharks came to snatch the food, including some ten-thousand-year-old sea soul beasts.

After the thunderstorm subsided, the two found a nearby island.

"Xiao Ji, don't worry about absorbing it!"

"it is good."

As the corpse of the Tribulation-Transcending Blood Eagle was retrieved, Ji Wuming sat cross-legged, guiding the purple soul ring to float above his head. A surge of powerful soul energy coursed through his body. Compared to the previous Blood Flood Dragon soul ring, the Tribulation-Transcending Blood Eagle's soul ring possessed a more intense and violent attribute.

Fortunately, after two hours, as the thousand-year soul ring shrank and completely condensed under Ji Wuming's feet, the absorption was finally complete.

"Hahaha."

Dean Shui, supporting his beard, laughed heartily, looking up at the sky.

"It seems your theory is correct, Xiao Ji. Soul beast meat combined with your body-tempering training can indeed enable a Soul Master to achieve the second ring of the Thousand-Year Realm!"

However, these are all things to consider later. After all, which child can be self-disciplined enough to withstand the impact of water pressure, persist in high-intensity physical training such as running, and train for five or six years?

"Little Ji, how many levels has your soul power increased? And what is your second soul skill?"

Dean Shui looked at Ji Wuming curiously. He knew that the Tribulation-Crossing Fierce Eagle was already considered a high-level soul beast, only slightly inferior to a top-tier soul beast like the Demonic Tiger Whale King.

The soul skills obtained will inevitably be extremely powerful.

As soon as he finished speaking, an extremely strange blood spear appeared in Ji Wuming's hand. Besides the blood mist, the spear was also surrounded by crimson arcs of electricity, making it extremely violent and giving the impression that it could kill at any moment by electrocution.

"My soul power has increased by three levels. I call my second soul skill Thunder Slayer Triple Kill. It can perform three attacks with the Blood Thunder Spear. The first attack increases attack power by 50%. The second attack increases attack and speed by 100% on top of the first attack. The third attack increases attack and speed by 150% on top of the second attack and is accompanied by the Thunder Paralysis effect."

Dean Shui was stunned upon hearing this, completely unprepared for the soul skill's monstrous effect.

"That's outrageous! Your second soul skill not only has the speed and lightning attribute of the Tribulation Blood Eagle, but it also perfectly inherits its three-stage lightning breath burst."

Dean Shui pondered for a moment, his expression becoming even more terrified. If his second soul skill were combined with his first soul skill, it could generate nearly twice the attack power. He was afraid that even a peak offensive-type battle soul master would not be his match!

"Little Ji, how many times can you unleash such a powerful second soul skill? Does each attack require charging?"

In response to Dean Su's question, Ji Wuming scratched his head and smiled as he replied...

"Based on my current soul power, I can use my second soul skill a maximum of five times! The three-stage attack is a combo, so it doesn't require charging."

"Five times, the Soul Ring skill did not have the biggest side effect of the Blood Eagle's Tribulation Charge."

At this moment, Dean Shui's emotions were like a rollercoaster, fluctuating wildly. If he had been able to hunt down a Tribulation-Transcending Blood Eagle back then, he wouldn't be just a low-level Soul King in this life, but would he have spontaneously come to Hanhai City to run businesses?

"Okay, okay."

Dean Shui glanced at Ji Wuming, then patted him on the shoulder and said with great satisfaction,

"Xiao Ji, you are now a Great Soul Master, and your second soul ring is a thousand-year soul ring. Before you have enough strength, you must not easily reveal it to others. Although your physique theory has been proven, not everyone can have your kind of body tempering method."

"Many forces in this world need geniuses, but they are not lacking in geniuses. It is better to believe in the saying 'If you can't have it, destroy it' than to believe in the good intentions of others."

"Dean Shui, Xiao Ji will remember this!"

Ji Wuming bowed very respectfully to Dean Shui. Without his help and that of several other teachers in the academy, he feared he might not have been able to achieve such great success during this period.

A tree that stands out in the forest will be felled by the wind. Without sufficient backing, even the highest innate soul power and the strongest acquired efforts will be killed by a powerful force if one doesn't join it. This applies to the Spirit Hall, and also to the three upper sects.

If it weren't for Tang San's backing by the Clear Sky Sect and the covert protection of his deceased wife, Douluo Tang Hao, he would have been eliminated long ago after the Soul Master Competition when he revealed his ten-thousand-year fourth soul ring and external soul bone.

Joining a sect, however, can severely restrict one's abilities. Even with abundant resources, a martial spirit is ultimately a bloodline inheritance, and one might be forced into marriage like a breeding pig, bearing children and eventually being completely exploited and bound to the sect.

Half a day later, at dusk, the two returned to the academy, where Dean Shui issued Ji Wuming a graduation certificate ahead of schedule.

"Xiao Ji, you are the most hardworking child I have ever seen, despite your lack of talent. Now your strength is sufficient, and your understanding of martial souls is even inferior to mine, a Soul King, in some aspects. You have graduated."

After receiving his graduation certificate, Ji Wuming bowed respectfully to Dean Shui and Director Lu.

"Thank you for your guidance, Dean and Director. I, Ji Wuming, will always remember it."

The latest novel is first published here!

However, in the next moment, Dean Shui revealed a meaningful smile and then said,

"If you have nowhere to go after graduation, you can come and help out at the Wardfack Hotel, which is owned by the Shui family."

"Huh? The Wardfak Hotel is a four-star hotel, and the owner behind it is you, Dean?"

Ji Wuming was stunned, completely unaware that the dean had this other identity, but this statement showed that the dean really wanted to keep him.

"Thank you for your kind offer. Take care, teachers."

Ji Wuming reluctantly left the academy, while Dean Shui and Director Lu exchanged a smile and quickly sent a letter to Tianshui City.

A month later, in a bamboo forest outside the fishing village, Ji Wuming gripped the Blood Thunder Spear, straining to unleash his first and second soul skills.

"boom--"

The bamboo within a 100-meter radius collapsed with a deafening roar; the power generated by the spear was no less than that of a three-thousand-year-old strength-type soul beast.

"Instant casting of soul skills, I did it!"

Ji Wuming finished his stance, planting his spear in the ground. He was extremely excited at this moment. After obtaining his second soul skill, he had the idea of ​​using it instantly.

Instant-cast soul skills are merely a technique; they can be mastered through practice. My first and second soul skills share a common feature: increasing the spear's attack power. Furthermore, the first soul skill's 40% attack power increase is a pure amplification, lasting for three minutes.

In other words, within three minutes, as long as one continuously receives the release of the second soul skill, one can achieve an attack frequency of 12 to 15 hits. This applies to both control-type and defense-type soul masters.

They are helpless against overwhelming attack speed and can only obediently fall into a passive state, or even be defeated and forced to leave the field.
