Douluo Continent: From Rusty Spear to Emperor-Slaying Spear

Chapter 33 Three Self-Created Soul Skills

Four months later, in the deep sea west of the Western Stone Kingdom, Ji Wuming stood on the water, far from the island, gripping the Blood Thunder Spear in his hand, watching warily at the Tyrant Thorn Sea Urchin, which was only about ten thousand years old, not far ahead.

He braced himself with his hind legs, the soft seawater beneath his feet creating a wave, and charged rapidly toward the sea urchin.

The sea urchin, which had been forced to serve as a human punching bag for the past few days, had long since reached its limit. It immediately rolled its body and charged towards Ji Wuming.

Ji Wuming quickly unleashed the Sea-Treading Mountain and River Steps he had perfected over the past few days. His footwork was unaffected by the waves generated by the sea spirit beasts' attacks, making him move as if he were on a plain.

Just as Ji Wuming was rapidly circling around the Tyrant Sea Urchin, the Tyrant Sea Urchin already knew the human's next three-stage attack.

Using the pressure of the seawater, it immediately leaped out of the water, its entire body spinning wildly, unleashing countless thorns in a wide-area attack towards Ji Wuming.

"Did you really think I'd use the same old tricks again?"

As Ji Wuming sprinted at breakneck speed, his laughter grew louder and louder. Then, he suddenly stopped, having identified the optimal attack position for the Sea Urchin.

"A stormy night, the wind and rain penetrate to the extreme!"

Ji Wuming continued to wield the Blood Thunder Spear with both hands, the bloodthirsty aura within the spear rapidly solidifying. The spear, carrying overwhelming bloodthirsty energy, shot out towards the Tyrant Thorn Sea Urchin.

"Bang bang bang—"

Several of the spines in a straight line were pierced in two by the spear. Even though the Sea Urchin's defenses were greatly enhanced by its rapid spinning, it was to no avail.

"call out--"

The spear pierced the sea urchin's hard, spiky shell and penetrated its heart. The spear then dissipated and returned to Ji Wuming's hand.

The sea urchin crashed heavily into the deep sea, and some solidified blood crystals remained on the holes in its body, its internal organs completely pulverized.

However, at that moment, a giant golden crab lurking in the shadows leaped out of the water, preparing to take advantage of Ji Wuming's momentary lapse in defense to eliminate him.

"Bloodstained Sea of ​​Blood - Raging Triangle Defense!"

Ji Wuming immediately swung his Blood Thunder Spear, spinning it continuously. The spinning spear, solidified from blood energy, acted like a crimson shield, simultaneously blocking three of his positions.

The giant rock crab's two enormous pincers struck the spinning spear shield, forcibly repelling its entire body by several meters. It plummeted into the deep sea, and just as it realized something was wrong and quickly swam towards the interior,

Ji Wuming leaped into the air, and during his brief moment of suspended motion, he looked at the giant golden crab in the sea.

"The spirit beast I trained before tried to kill me and then tried to run away. Did it really think it could escape?"

"Sea Waves Unpredictable, Sky Roars and Sea-Covering Kills!"

The spear pierced the deep sea, aiming at the giant golden crab marked by the blood energy entity from the second self-created soul skill. The powerful killing intent created a target-locking vacuum zone in the ocean with a radius of 10 meters centered on the spear tip.

In this environment, the movement of any living being will be halved, as if floating in a vacuum, without any sense of traction.

The giant rock crab, frantically heading towards the deep sea, turned around, looked back, stretched out its eight legs, and swam into the deep sea interior with extreme fear.

"Sizzle—"

In an instant, the giant crab's shell, which was as hard as iron, was pierced. Its entire body became incredibly light and could no longer feel pain. Its eyes glazed over, its eight legs went limp, and its body was charred by arcs of electricity. Before long, its entire body began to float upwards!

Ji Wuming looked at the burly sea urchin and the corpse of the golden giant crab floating ahead, walked over, tied the two soul beasts into his soul tool, and said with a helpless expression,

"Alas, it's a pity that I killed those two ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts so badly that some of their meat is no longer edible!"

Ji Wuming carefully examined the Blood Thunder Spear in his hand. These three self-created soul skills were based on Chen Jianjun's swordsmanship insights, and were developed after consulting with Dali, the old village chief, and other villagers of the Western Stone Kingdom, based on the attack methods of his own martial soul.

Originally, its power wasn't as strong as it is now. The first and third self-created soul skills were mainly based on straight-line throwing, which had significant drawbacks.

However, with his continued development, he was able to mobilize the blood killing energy previously absorbed by his martial soul. Moreover, once the enemy was tainted by the solidified killing energy of his spear, the blood killing energy would have an additional marking effect, thus allowing him to unleash the maximum power of his first and third soul skills.

Before long, Ji Wuming returned to the village, and the two ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts landed heavily on the ground.

"Master Ji has brought back two more soul beasts, and these ones are even bigger than the last ones!"

At this moment, the village children rushed to Ji Wuming, jumping and skipping with joy. Several children even jumped onto the two soul beasts and began to cut them with their sword spirits.

Ji Wuming looked at the six- or seven-year-old children around him and said gently, "Take only what you can cut. Children shouldn't be too greedy; they should do what they can. Do you understand?"

"clear!"

The children said in unison.

Just as Ji Wuming was walking towards the stone house he had built, an 11-year-old boy approached him.

"Ah Man, what else would you like to know about the mainland?"

During the six months that Ji Wuming spent in the Western Kingdom, Aman frequently visited his residence, curiously inquiring about all the cultural and historical events on the Eastern Continent. He also indirectly guided Ji Wuming on some techniques related to creating his own soul skills.

During the ongoing conversation, Ji Wuming expressed great admiration for Aman. Although Aman was indeed lacking in comprehension, he was far more diligent and hardworking than his peers. Most importantly, his idea was to integrate, which is the so-called dual development of a Soul Ring Master and self-created Soul Skills.

Ah Man frowned, hesitated for a long time, and then slowly said, "Master Ji, I want to go out with you to see the world and become a Soul Master like Master Chen and Master Ji!"

"Huh?" Ji Wuming looked at Aman with a face full of astonishment.

The latest novel is first published here!

"Manager Ji, is it not allowed?"

Ah Man lowered his head, turned around with extreme disappointment, and just as he was about to leave, Ji Wuming stopped him.

"Aman, your request is not impossible. If you want to become a Soul Master, you have to leave the village and venture out into the world to meet more people. Only in this way can you become stronger faster."

"Um, I haven't thought about that. I just want to become a Soul Master, get a Soul Ring, and help the village chief protect our village. Going to the outside world is too dangerous."

Ah Man scratched his head and said in a very innocent way.

Ji Wuming looked at Aman and sighed. He had thought he could lead a sword master across the vast continent, but it seemed he had been overestimating himself.

"Alright, I will do my best to tell you everything I know about Soul Masters during this time. If there are other people in the village who have the same idea as you in the future, you can also teach them to become Soul Masters."

Immediately, Ji Wuming took out a blue crystal ball and said, "This is a crystal ball that can detect soul power level. It can accurately display the soul power level within your body!"

Ji Wuming patiently explained the process of awakening a martial soul to him. Several years ago, when he was fighting in the black market, he had already learned about martial soul awakening and how to help others test their soul power.

"Okay, just place your hands on it and focus your energy into this blue stone!"

Ah Man confirmed once again that Ji Wuming had nodded, so he extended his right hand and placed it on the blue crystal ball.

Suddenly, a brilliant blue light illuminated the entire interior of the stone house.

"This, this is..."
