Chapter 15: First Soul Skill
“Teacher, why did Xiao Mo take so long to absorb this Soul Ring?”
As the one who knew Ling Mo the best, Tang San raised a doubt in the face of such a predicament.
The Master said solemnly: “Do you still remember what I said when we first met?”
Xiao Mo’s light source body itself does not possess a carrier, so it cannot withstand the power from the Soul Ring.
Now he wants to forcibly impose this Soul Ring on the Light Martial Soul, which requires achieving the ability to let his body bear this power…”
The Master hit the nail on the head with one sentence, pointing directly to the crux of the matter. It had to be said that in terms of theory, the Master was absolutely an expert in this area.
“Will this process be very dangerous?”
Tang San was extremely worried. Seeing the pained expression on Ling Mo’s face, it was clear that the suffering he was enduring at this moment was absolutely immense.
“I don’t know. Now we can only see how he handles it himself!”
The Master had no solution either. At the moment, the only thing they could do was wait.
In the consciousness world, Ling Mo’s Sea of Consciousness was churning like a stormy sea, as if burning with a great fire, boiling the entire Sea of Consciousness.
Deep in the Sea of Consciousness, that wisp of Five-Colored Divine Light had always been evading the restraint of the Soul Ring.
“Suppress it for me!”
With a roar from deep within his heart, Ling Mo gathered all his body’s power and instantly exploded with it, forcibly suppressing it with supreme dominance.
This was his last bit of power. The power surging out of the Sea of Consciousness began to boil, and instantly… a tremendous attractive force emanated from the Five-Colored Divine Light.
“It accepted it?”
Unexpectedly, this remaining last bit of power became Ling Mo’s final hope.
And this final hope did not disappoint him. This time… it finally succeeded.
There, the Five-Colored Divine Light slowly moved to the center of the Sea of Consciousness, and a yellow mini Soul Ring slowly slipped onto it.
Instantly, a surging power surged out from the Five-Colored Divine Light, nourishing Ling Mo’s entire body, giving his body a massive enhancement.
“As expected, just as the Master predicted, the effect of this Five-Colored Divine Light, manifested solely in amplification, is like the Nine Heart Begonia—each Soul Ring will double or even multiply several times the original effects.
But the sole effect of the Martial Soul, unlike the Nine Heart Begonia, lies in amplifying all of its own attributes!
To some extent, it seems to also possess the effect of amplifying teammates…”
After figuring out this characteristic, Ling Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
From this characteristic, the effect of the Five-Colored Divine Light seems to manifest solely in support, but this does not mean that Ling Mo is a pure support-type Soul Master.
Because under the reinforcement of the Five-Colored Divine Light, his body already possessed a defense even more terrifying than that of a defense-type Soul Master.
Moreover, in terms of power, it was not necessarily inferior to a power-type Soul Master. This was Ling Mo’s advantage.
With this premise, plus the stealing function of the Dual Pupils, Ling Mo was practically in an invincible position.
Under its own reinforcement, after stealing an opponent’s Martial Soul, it would further amplify the stolen Martial Soul and its Soul Skill effects.
But in terms of power, speed, and defense, Ling Mo feared no opponent of the same level. Even against an opponent one level higher, he might still have the power to fight.
Because Ling Mo still had an ace up his sleeve, that was the Tang Sect Secret Arts from Tang San.
“He’s awake?”
Ling Mo slowly opened his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief, while the Master and Tang San showed joyful expressions.
“Xiao Mo, how do you feel?” Tang San asked with concern.
“Comfortable! So damn comfortable. I feel like I could punch a cow to death with one fist now…”
Not exaggerating at all, even without using Soul Power, Ling Mo could achieve this with just the power of his physical body. This was the amplification effect brought by the Five-Colored Divine Light.
“Heh, bragging without a draft!”
At this time, that bear child drinking Beast Milk passed by again, gave him a disdainful glance, and showed off his fist as big as a sandbag!
“What is your First Soul Skill?”
Unlike Tang San, what the Master cared about was directly asking this.
“The First Soul Skill is a double amplification effect! It provides amplification boosts in power, defense, speed, and various other aspects.
Just as you guessed earlier, the effect of the Five-Colored Divine Light manifests solely in amplification. Each Soul Ring acquired will amplify it several more levels on the original basis.
Moreover, I discovered that this Martial Soul also has support properties. I can directly amplify anyone in my line of sight! A full thirty percent attribute amplification!”
“What? Thirty percent?”
At these words, the Master paled and showed a panicked expression.
“Master, is there a problem with this?” Ling Mo asked, puzzled.
“This amplification effect of yours is simply too perverse, and from what you’ve described, thirty percent is not even the limit.
If according to what you said, then… your current First Soul Ring provides thirty percent amplification, so… this amplification will double again after you acquire the second Soul Ring.
If that’s really the case, kid! Your Martial Soul can absolutely be called the number one support Martial Soul in the Douluo world, incomparable even to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda…”
The Master said without exaggeration. Through this, he finally understood what it meant to have someone beyond people and sky beyond skies!
Who could have imagined that such a small village would produce such a perverted youth?
Neither of these two children was simple. The Master was starting to doubt his life! When did such top-tier Martial Souls become so cheap?
“But Master! I discovered a problem…”
Ling Mo did not feel surprised by the power of his Martial Soul, because it was already within his expectations.
“What problem?” the Master immediately asked. He now had immense interest in Ling Mo’s Martial Soul.
“After absorbing the Strength Ant’s Martial Soul, I found that the golden light in the Five-Colored Divine Light has become increasingly intense.
It seems to have added a bit of Gold Element, making the body intensity even more perverse!
Moreover… besides the amplification effect, the First Soul Skill unexpectedly gained a special Supernatural Ability…”
“What Supernatural Ability?”
Hearing Ling Mo’s explanation, the Master could no longer sit still. This kid was full of treasures! How was his luck so good?
“A Gravity Field!”
“What? Gravity Field?”
Upon hearing this, the Master and Tang San immediately showed surprised expressions. There was actually such an unexpected gain.
“That’s not right! According to the characteristics of Soul Rings, it shouldn’t have this kind of additional Supernatural Ability! Could there have been some mutation?”
The Master was stunned for a moment, then silently noted this matter in his mind, planning to research it slowly after returning.
“Five Elements attribute Gold! Golden light?”
Tang San’s reaction differed from the Master’s. What he first thought of was not a mutation in the Martial Soul, but the special meaning of this golden light.
According to the Xuanmen cultivation techniques, this golden light seemed to indicate that Ling Mo’s body had withstood the addition of the invisible Gold Element.
The source of the Gold Element came from the Strength Ant. Could it be that Ling Mo cultivated some special Xuanmen Cultivation Technique? Why did this situation occur?
Tang San was very suspicious. He had long guessed that Ling Mo was the same type of person as him, so… if Ling Mo cultivated some special Xuanmen Cultivation Technique, he was not surprised.
“Although I don’t know what this foreshadows, now is not the time to discuss it! Since the Soul Ring has been acquired, we should head back. We’ll discuss everything slowly after returning…”
Unable to figure it out for the moment, the Master decided to return to the Academy first. The Soul Hunting Forest was relatively dangerous, so for safety’s sake, the Master decided to head back.
