Soul Detachment Hooks

Not to mention Qian Daoliu communicating with the Angel Statue in Douluo Hall, Tian Hao, who had been sent home, staggered back to his room and collapsed onto the bed. As he rubbed his throbbing head, he browsed the information that had appeared in his mind.

The Meditation Method itself was nothing special, but the amount of information contained in Qian Daoliu's cultivation insights was terrifying.

It was only because his Martial Soul was the Sea of Spirit of the pure Spiritual Type, combined with the Head Soul Bone, that he had not been knocked unconscious on the spot by the vast torrent of information.

He remained groggy for more than a day before finally recovering.

"Just as expected of the Angel Clan's top-tier Meditation Method. It's far stronger than Yu Xiaogang's."

Extremely excited, Tian Hao understood that he had struck it rich, especially with Qian Daoliu's cultivation insights. They included cultivation insights for every realm and breakthrough, making them far more precious than a mere Meditation Method.

Moreover, this Meditation Method was incredibly compatible with the Sacred Light Soul Power that had evolved through his cultivation. With only minor modifications, he could integrate it into the method, greatly improving the cultivation effects of the Sacred Light Meditation.

Without wasting time, he went to the rooftop and first practiced a set of Basic Sword Technique to warm up. Then he returned his sword to its sheath and gathered strength before drawing it.

Through self-hypnosis, he manifested a Sharpness Attribute in his Spiritual power. After merging it with his Sacred Light Soul Power, it transformed into a thin layer of Golden Light that covered the sword blade.

"Thrust!"

Once he had built up his strength to the limit, Tian Hao abruptly drew his sword and thrust it forward, piercing through the wooden post before him in a single strike as easily as cutting tofu.

"Attribute-less Soul Power really can't compare to Soul Power with an attribute."

Tian Hao was brimming with excitement. In the past, even when he focused all his strength into a single strike, he could pierce through that kind of wooden post, but he had never done it this easily. The improvement was tremendous.

"How do you have the same kind of Soul Power as Teacher?"

The girl had arrived on the rooftop at some point and asked in confusion. She felt that the boy's golden soul power was very similar to Teacher Qian Xunji's, though there were also differences.

"A secret!"

Tian Hao let out a long breath and returned his sword to its sheath. He naturally would not reveal the secret within.

"Forget it if you won't tell me."

She muttered unhappily, then asked, "What are we practicing today? Soul Power suppression again?"

During this period, she came over every five days for Practical Guidance, and they spent most of that time practicing Soul Power suppression.

"First, familiarize yourself with this scythe. It will be your weapon from now on."

He took a vicious-looking scythe from the Storage Soul Tool and tossed it over. Tian Hao had forged it in his spare time during this period, hammering the material to the Thousand Forging level and removing all impurities. Unfortunately, he still had not triggered the kind of Spiritual Light Flash seen in Douluo III.

Even so, Thousand Forging material alone was already excellent. Special Metal naturally had good Soul Power conductivity, while Thousand Forging material had all impurities removed, making its Soul Power conductivity even more Perfect.

"You want me to use this weapon?"

Looking at the vicious-looking scythe, Bibi Dong's Beautiful Eyes widened.

As a Soul Master, she indeed needed to practice a few self-defense techniques to deal with special situations. She had also planned to practice some weapon-based techniques.

After all, although her Martial Souls were powerful, their appearances were extremely unsightly. Once she used Martial Soul Possession, her body would change. If she obtained a Martial Soul Avatar in the future, she would even turn completely into a spider.

She did not want to reveal that appearance too much, so practicing a weapon technique to handle minor matters was just right.

But was it appropriate for a beautiful girl like her to use such a vicious-looking weapon?

The scythe was extremely sinister. Both sides of the blade were sharpened, and it was covered in fine serrations. A smaller scythe blade extended from the back, making it obvious at a glance that it was a vicious weapon.

"Both of your Martial Souls are spiders. What else would you use if not a scythe?"

Tian Hao countered, leaving Bibi Dong speechless.

Thinking carefully, a scythe did indeed seem very suitable for the attack style of a spider Martial Soul. As long as she slightly modified the attack methods of those Soul Skills, she could use them with the scythe and gain considerable close-combat ability.

But this scythe was far too... that. Anyone could tell at a glance that it was not something a good person would use.

"Is there one that looks a little better?"

She could not help asking. She truly disliked this vicious weapon.

"I knew you would be so shallow."

After grumbling, Tian Hao took out two Small Scythes and tossed them over while the Girl glared angrily at him.

He had forged the two Small Scythes from the same material. Their design was based on the evil weapon Evil Spirit Soul Detachment Hook from the anime Tomb King in his previous life, though they lacked the floral decorations on the original.

"These two are more like it!"

After catching the two Small Scythes and waving them around, Bibi Dong finally felt somewhat satisfied.

"Want to spar?"

She looked at the boy provocatively, eager to use them to test out her new weapons.

"No. Today we'll continue practicing Soul Power suppression."

Tian Hao decisively refused. Unable To, she was currently a four-ring Soul Ancestor, and her physical fitness alone was far superior to his. If they really fought, he would be abused.

Furthermore, the World Mutation eighteen years ago had made Soul Masters much stronger, greatly improving their physical fitness as well. Bibi Dong had even absorbed a black Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring as her fourth Spirit Ring.

Besides that, the quality of Soul Master's Soul Power had also improved greatly. The Soul Power of a high-level Soul Master would form a suppressive effect over that of a low-level Soul Master, like the Soul Power suppression that Zhi Lin, the Soul Douluo of the Education Committee, had released on Tang San when Shrek later tried to join the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Under that kind of Soul Power suppression, a low-level Soul Master's Soul Power would circulate slowly or even become completely stagnant. The gap between Soul Masters grew ever wider, making it nearly impossible for them to fight above their level unless there was an enormous difference in the quality of their Martial Souls or Spirit Rings.

Bibi Dong's Soul Power was far higher than his. She could make his Soul Power completely stagnant and impossible to mobilize with Soul Power suppression alone.

"Boring!"

Seeing Tian Hao admit defeat, Bibi Dong found it extremely boring. She then released part of her Soul Power pressure, known simply as Soul Pressure.

Under Bibi Dong's Soul Pressure, Tian Hao once again bent his legs slightly and placed his palm on his sword hilt, assuming a sword-drawing stance.

At the same time, his Spiritual power surged forth. Through self-hypnosis, he transformed his Spiritual power into a Sharpness Attribute, using it to resist part of the Soul Pressure before slowly redirecting the circulation of his Soul Power.

This was pressure-resistance training. He might face high-level Soul Masters in the future, so getting used to it now would help him deal with them later.

Feeling Tian Hao's Soul Power begin to circulate, Bibi Dong increased her Soul Pressure slightly. At the same time, she waved the two Soul Detachment Hooks, searching for the right feeling so that she could master them as quickly as possible.

Tian Hao had not said anything, and she truly had not realized that the weapon most suitable for her was actually a scythe. Its attack style was far too similar to that of a spider. The scythe was almost like a spider's leg.

Of course, she meant the Small Scythes she was using now. As for the Great Scythe from earlier, even if Bibi Dong died, she absolutely would not use it. It was far too ugly.

While Bibi Dong slowly swung the scythes to find her rhythm, Tian Hao adapted to the powerful Soul Pressure.

Resisting Soul Pressure was itself a form of cultivation. Although it could not increase the amount of Soul Power, it could help condense Soul Power while further tempering one's control over it.

Just like the Mystic Heavy Ruler used by Xiao Yan from Dou Po next door, it was an excellent method of auxiliary cultivation.

"Father of Sword Douluo, when will you come?"

As he cultivated, Tian Hao thought of that Father of Sword Douluo, thought of his Seven Kill Sword, thought of his Seven Kill Sword Intent, and thought even more of his blood.

The Seven Kill Sword Intent was one of the few will-type talents in Douluo, even rarer than Spiritual Type talents. If he could learn it, he would strike it rich.

Tian Someone: Since people are always saying that Douluo is the sewer of the xuanhuan genre, I tried to provide some opportunities and strengthen Douluo Star a little, like its evolution after devouring the Abyss Plane in Douluo IV. I hope all you fellow readers enjoy it.
