Play Rough (Please Keep Reading!)

Play Rough!

A Fairy Type power move, attacking while playing around, with a 10% chance to lower the enemy's attack power by 33%.

Xiao Wu sensed the information that had appeared in her mind, and her soul power began circulating unconsciously. Since the Play Rough move could launch attacks through most parts of the body, its soul power pathways were extremely complex.

Xiao Wu had transformed into human form, but in the end, it was impossible for her to become a perfect human, so she needed to grow to level seventy to undergo a metamorphosis.

But as the Play Rough move opened up new meridians while circulating, Xiao Wu felt that she could completely finish her metamorphosis at level sixty.

In that case, the next three soul rings would all require hunting soul beasts, but with the same origin source converted into one fewer soul ring, she would have much greater choice when it came to the Years of her earlier soul rings.

After spending about ten minutes, Xiao Wu adapted to the new soul power pathways. Her control over her Pink Soul Power increased drastically, and her entire body gave off a strange charm.

"A Fairy? Is it referring to soul beasts that transform into humans?"

Xiao Wu murmured softly. Feeling that she had risen by one level, she asked, "What was that thing just now? Why could I learn a soul skill with just a light touch, and it doesn't even take up a soul ring slot?"

Xiao Wu lightly bit her red lip, her eyes moist. "Is it really okay to give me such a precious treasure?"

Gula smiled. "There's nothing wrong with it. You can think of it as an inheritable Self-Created Soul Skill. Because of compatibility, neither Tang San nor I can learn it, so I taught it to you."

That was what he said, but Xiao Wu was very clear on how precious the Play Rough move was. A pure damage soul skill that also came with a weakening special effect—the 10% chance might not seem high, but in battle, it would always trigger at least once.

It suited her even better than her Eight-Section Drop. It could continue growing along with her, and even when she reached Title Douluo, it could unleash power comparable to a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Skill.

"You little..."

Xiao Wu was somewhat depressed. She had originally wanted to subdue Gula as her underling, but in the end, she had been bought off by the things Gula gave her again.

"Hmph, even if you treat me even better, I'm still Big Sister!"

Xiao Wu forced herself to stay calm, putting on a very tough front as she tossed Gula a storage Soul Tool. Inside were all the soul bones and medicinal herbs.

"These are all yours. I'm going to cultivate. Don't come bother me."

Xiao Wu's feelings were complicated, and she had also forgotten her original idea of using soul bones to subdue Gula. She needed to calm down on her own.

Gula watched her leave. He was nurturing Xiao Wu because he wanted to maintain the original Shrek team and strive to become a god along the way.

But if Xiao Wu herself failed to live up to expectations, he would not mind switching to another target to support.

His Spiritual Power entered the storage Soul Tool, and then his eyes were dazzled by the large number of medicinal herbs.

"Ten-Thousand-Year Illusion Flower, ten-thousand-year Ginseng King, Snow Ganoderma, Purple Iris Grass... What a waste of heaven's gifts. So many medicinal herbs were handled far too crudely, and quite a bit of their medicinal properties have been lost."

Gula was heartbroken. He had no time to bother with cultivation and hurriedly went to an empty space to process the medicinal herbs.

Spring passed and winter came. Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a year had passed.

On the lush grass, Gula and Tang San sat five meters apart, meditating and cultivating among the Blue Silver Grass. After a wave of soul power fluctuations around them, they gradually stabilized.

"Eight levels in one year. On average, one breakthrough every month and a half."

Gula clenched his fists. He was practically growing at the growth coefficient of a divine beast. Now, with one punch, ordinary Thousand Year Soul Beasts would not be able to withstand it. He truly could kill an ox with one punch.

At the same time, the attribute of Extreme Earth also made Gula's soul power incomparably pure. It carried the heaviness of the earth and the explosiveness of magma, yet also contained vitality within.

As a result, before he had even reached Soul Elder, he had already experienced the side effect of the Extreme Attribute slowing cultivation.

The only good news was that by absorbing origin energy from the earth, Gula's cultivation speed was not too slow. Moreover, he also had Energy Cubes to supplement him with high-quality nutrition and energy.

A trace of purple light Flashed through Tang San's eyes, and he nodded. "Aside from tempering the body, the Heaven and Earth Origin Energy Pulled by the Body Strengthening and Bone Tempering Paste seems to be instinctively absorbed in part by the body and converted into soul power cultivation."

"Fortunately, last year, the various major forces planted quite a few herbs. This year, the price of medicinal herbs related to the Body Strengthening and Bone Tempering Paste has dropped by thirty percent. Otherwise, when the Medicinal Paste runs out in a few days, buying more would be far too much of a loss."

In one year, Gula had not published the complete formula for the Body Strengthening and Bone Tempering Paste. If he had done that, anyone would be able to guess that he had deliberately held something back, causing other emotions to mix into their gratitude and admiration.

So he had merely casually written a few scraps of theses related to Martial Soul Evolution Theory, laying the foundation for publishing the full theory in the future.

"Mm. Xiao Wu Broke Through half a month earlier than us. I've kept her from going home to hunt souls all this time. This time, the three of us will go to the Soul Beast Forest together and hunt Thousand Year Second Soul Rings for you two."

Gula had stopped Xiao Wu because he naturally did not want her to condense the laughably absurd soul skill from the original work.

"Hmph! Meddling in other people's business."

Xiao Wu was sunbathing In the Distance. Hearing this, she gave a soft snort. She had originally wanted to sneak away and condense a soul ring, but unfortunately, Gula had marked her with Psychic Power, so she could not run very far at all before she was found.

Gula stood up and stretched lazily. "I'm stopping you from Mouth Soul Hunting for your own good."

"You said you wanted to obtain a charm soul skill. The Soft Bone Rabbit is also known as the Soft Bone Charm Rabbit precisely because of charm soul skills. Most of them are effective at the hundred-year and thousand-year stages, making predators lose focus for an instant and increasing a Soft Bone Rabbit's chances of escape."

"But have you ever thought about it? The Soft Bone Rabbit is not a Spirit Martial Soul and has no advantage in the growth of Spiritual Power."

"Once you become a Title Douluo and the gap in Spiritual Power widens, your charm soul skill will only be able to deal with targets whose Spiritual Power is lower than yours."

"But you were already a Strength Attack Type Soul Master to begin with, and you're unwilling to switch to cultivating as an Agility Attack Type Soul Master. Could it be that you still wouldn't be able to deal with soul masters weaker than you?"

"You talk too much. So annoying."

Xiao Wu muttered in complaint, rolling back and forth on the grass. She did not look the least bit like a proper girl, but rather like a wild child.

"It wasn't like I'd thought of it before. You lecture me whenever you get the chance. I'm clearly the boss of Dormitory Seven, but all you do all day is nag."

Although Xiao Wu complained like this, In Heart, she very much enjoyed the feeling of being cared for.

She suddenly jumped up. "You've all Broke Through, so hurry up and set out. I can't wait to become a Soul Grandmaster!"

Tang San agreed, "Xiao Wu is right. Brother Gu, what soul beasts did you choose as our targets? I have a few ideas. Do you want to hear them?"

Gula smiled faintly. "Of course. I'd also like to see what you've learned from Grandmaster."

"But before that, there's one more thing to do."

Gula took out two lumps of Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Gelatin and explained their effects. "Before, your physiques weren't up to standard. If you'd taken whale gelatin rashly, you wouldn't have withstood the side effects."

"Now, after a year of training, with my Aromatherapy Soul Skill, I should be able to help you endure the side effects, improve your physical quality, broaden your meridians, and achieve Cleansing Marrow and Tendons."

Tang San's eyes burned with excitement, and Xiao Wu also stared fixedly at the Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Gelatin.

They had long since learned from Gula the true effects of whale gelatin. To meet the minimum requirements for taking Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Gelatin, they had trained with all their might over the past year, all for the sake of taking it as soon as possible. They had been unable to wait for a long time.
