Practical Combat of the Skeleton Martial Soul

Practical Combat of the Skeleton Martial Soul

With a clanging bird cry, Teacher Mo activated his Thunder Eagle Martial Soul possession. The violent power of lightning enhanced his overall strength.

At the same time, Xia Liang could clearly feel the pressure transmitted back through the Skeleton Arm.

Teacher Mo was trying to use the power of lightning to break free from the Skeleton Arm's Grip Strength.

The contest of strength lasted for over thirty seconds. In the end, due to the vast gap in Soul Power Levels, Teacher Mo quickly shattered the entire Skeleton Arm that had been gripping his body tightly.

Suffering backlash, Xia Liang staggered back two steps. Another Arm Bone grew from the black-purple ribs protecting his entire body and braced against the ground, barely stabilizing him.

Although he had not fought many real battles, Xia Liang, having transmigrated from Blue Star, had still picked up some combat awareness from films and television shows.

The moment he steadied himself, he immediately sprinted forward and extended the Skeleton Arm braced against the ground ten meters into the air.

Just as Teacher Mo landed safely, the Skeleton Arm that had stretched into the air opened its enormous palm bone, two meters wide, and viciously slammed it down toward where Teacher Mo had landed.

Teacher Mo had no time to dodge. He raised both hands and used his Eagle Claws to receive the wildly descending Skeleton Arm's palm bone head-on.

A numb sensation spread from his Eagle Claws throughout his body. Teacher Mo felt as though he had not caught an Arm Bone, but a thousand-pound weight dropping from the sky.

This Skeleton Arm already possessed extraordinary Arm Strength. With an additional fifty percent increase in strength, combined with the force generated by its downward momentum, its power was actually no weaker than an Assault System Soul Master's First Soul Skill?

The numbness in his Eagle Claws had already turned into pain. Teacher Mo realized that this time, he could not easily shatter the entire Skeleton Arm. Xia Liang had probably poured more Soul Power into it to reinforce the bone's hardness.

Only a Soul Skill could contend with a Soul Skill.

Left with no choice, Teacher Mo could only activate his Second Soul Skill, Swift Thunder Wings.

Violent azure lightning transformed into a pair of wings behind his back. Teacher Mo withdrew his Eagle Claws from their struggle against the Skeleton Arm's palm bone, rapidly flapped his wings, and flew away from the spot.

At that very moment, the Skeleton Arm's enormous palm bone pressed into the ground like Mount Tai Crushing Down.

There was only a dull boom.

The force of the enormous palm made the ground within five meters tremble. The earth beneath it caved in, sending shattered stones flying.

Seeing this, Teacher Mo, hovering in midair on his Swift Thunder Wings, could not help breaking out in a cold sweat. Good thing he possessed Three-Ring Strength. If he had only been a Two-Ring Great Soul Master, he definitely would not have come away unscathed against Xia Liang.

"So you can fly?" Xia Liang blurted out.

"Of course. Have you ever seen an eagle that couldn't fly? A Liang, no matter how much your Skeleton Martial Soul evolves, it can't grow Wing Bones and gain the ability to fly, can it? That's the advantage of a Martial Soul."

As he spoke, Teacher Mo descended to the ground and dispelled his Thunder Eagle Martial Soul possession.

Xia Liang also withdrew his Martial Soul and Soul Ring, unable to put his excitement into words.

Now that the Skeleton Martial Soul possessed its First Soul Ring, it could not only use Rib Defense, but also form arms to attack.

Just as he had expected, the Skeleton Martial Soul could be cultivated in the direction of Susanoo.

Bone Transformation Susanoo—this ultimate move might truly be achievable.

If he followed the original plan to obtain the remaining Soul Rings and achieved the desired Soul Skill effects, the Skeleton Martial Soul might actually grow wings and gain the ability to fly in the future.

Didn't the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger have wings? Perhaps the Soul Ring it produced could allow the Skeleton Martial Soul to grow Wing Bones.

"Teacher Mo, judging from that sparring match just now, what level is my strength at?" Xia Liang looked expectantly at Teacher Mo, who had walked over to him.

Teacher Mo stroked his chin and pondered for a moment before saying, "Probably at the level of a Two-Ring Soul Master. A Liang, honestly, I never expected your Skeleton Martial Soul to become this powerful after obtaining its First Soul Ring. It seems the Netherworld Ghost Bear Soul Ring truly suits you. You no longer lack combat power. What you lack instead is real combat experience."

"But that's understandable. You've never experienced genuine combat before. Once you have enough practical experience and combat awareness, I believe you will definitely be able to defeat a Two-Ring Great Soul Master while still a One-Ring Soul Master. Fighting above one's level is the standard by which a Genius Soul Master is measured."

After hearing this, Xia Liang gained a clearer understanding of his own strengths and weaknesses.

"Don't worry. Once you join my Mercenary Group, you'll have plenty of opportunities for real combat." Teacher Mo patted Xia Liang on the shoulder and said with a smile, "My Sister-in-law is also a member of the Mercenary Group. She loves spirit battles. When the time comes, you can pester her every day. If you can defeat her while fighting above your level, I guarantee you'll have a boundless future."

"Let's go. You've obtained the Soul Ring you wanted, so it's time to return to the academy. Once Dean Ding approves your application for Early Graduation, come find me at my home. Then we'll travel the continent in the name of the Mercenary Group. Of course, it's not too late for you to change your mind. Make your own decision."

With that, Teacher Mo headed toward the entrance of Soul Hunting Forest.

Xia Liang followed closely behind. His decision to join the Mercenary Group for training remained unchanged.

Traveling with a Mercenary Group through all kinds of Soul Beast habitats would not only help him find the Soul Beast resources he wanted, but also allow him to observe the Martial Soul Appearance Change when employers absorbed Soul Rings. That would surely be of great help in obtaining Soul Rings for the Skeleton Martial Soul.

If the Skeleton Martial Soul's Second Soul Ring could also come from a Soul Beast he desired and achieve the expected effect, he would be one step closer to Bone Transformation Susanoo.

"Oh, right. Teacher Mo, the Netherworld Ghost Bear's corpse hasn't been dealt with yet. I want to cut off its meat and take it back to make some delicious Soul Beast Meat. The meat of Power and Defense Type Soul Beasts is an excellent tonic for Soul Masters."

As he spoke, Xia Liang took out a dagger and walked toward the Netherworld Ghost Bear's corpse.

In truth, he had still concealed something when he told Teacher Mo about the effects of his First Soul Skill.

After the First Soul Skill, Netherworld Transformation, formed the Skeleton Right Arm, its Defense Attribute remained unchanged, while its Strength Attribute increased by another fifty percent on top of the original fifty percent boost.

In other words, the complete effect of the First Soul Skill was to grow a Right Arm Bone, along with a fifty percent increase in Defense Attributes and a one hundred percent increase in Strength Attributes.

That was why Teacher Mo had needed to use a Soul Skill to resist the Skeleton Right Arm's crushing press.

In a Xuanhuan World where killing for treasure was commonplace, it was best not to reveal a Life-Saving Soul Skill in full. Having Paranoid Delusion was not necessarily a bad way to stay alive.

One day later.

After obtaining the Soul Ring and leaving Soul Hunting Forest, Teacher Mo brought Xia Liang to the Spirit Hall branch in Nuoding City to register as a Soul Master.

After testing him, Master Ma Xiunuo, the Branch Hall Master, found that Xia Liang had jumped three levels after absorbing his First Soul Ring.

He was currently at Level Thirteen Soul Power.

Master Ma Xiunuo was deeply shocked that Xia Liang had absorbed a Five Hundred Year Soul Ring. He had originally wanted to invite Xia Liang to join Spirit Hall, but Teacher Mo declined on the grounds that Xia Liang was a member of the Mercenary Group.

Xia Liang did not find that regrettable. After all, Spirit Hall had many Genius Soul Masters. With only Innate Level Five Soul Power, he might not receive many Cultivation Resources.

Rather than compete with those geniuses for resources, he would be better off developing quietly in the Mercenary Group.

Cultivating his Soul Power to the Level Twenty Bottleneck and obtaining his Second Soul Ring was the goal of this training journey with the Mercenary Group.

After registering as a Soul Master at the Spirit Hall branch and receiving a subsidy of one Gold Soul Coin, Teacher Mo and Xia Liang returned to Nuoding Academy together.

It was already five in the afternoon.

Today was a rest day, so he did not need to work part-time at Fish Roast Restaurant.

Xia Liang planned to go to the Academy Back Mountain to familiarize himself with using the Skeleton Martial Soul.

He had gained a great deal from yesterday's sparring match with Teacher Mo. In fact, aside from its Strength and Defense Attributes, the Skeleton Martial Soul's Undead Attribute had also greatly improved after gaining its First Soul Ring.

The reason he had become so listless and deathly was because his Undead Attribute had grown stronger.

Previously, his development of the Undead Attribute had been limited to summoning black-purple Ghost Fire that moved according to his will.

Now, with the enhancement of the Undead Attribute, the black-purple Ghost Fire he summoned seemed to have mutated. It could actually take humanoid forms and possessed a certain degree of spirituality.

If he carefully researched and mastered the use of black-purple Ghost Fire, he should be able to develop something interesting.

For example, he could condense the black-purple Ghost Fire into Skulls with a certain degree of spirituality, using them for scouting, attacking, or interfering with enemies.
