Thunderclap Sword, First Soul Skill—Sword Cleaving Strike!

Huo Feng raised his right hand and gathered Soul Power in his palm.

Accompanied by a faint white glow, the Martial Soul Iron Sword gradually emerged.

Bzzzt—!

Drawn by Huo Feng's Soul Power, the pale yellow Soul Ring flew toward him.

Whoosh—!

Without warning, the yellow Soul Ring suddenly contracted, shrinking into a circle no larger than a bracelet.

It then slipped directly over the Iron Sword in Huo Feng's right hand.

Crackle—!

The instant they made contact, blue lightning burst from the ring.

Huo Feng stared curiously at the Iron Sword in his hand.

He felt no discomfort during the Martial Soul fusion process.

He only felt surging energy flowing through his right hand.

This was a five-hundred-year Soul Ring. If an ordinary person tried to absorb it, they would likely explode and die from being unable to withstand its immense energy.

Yet Huo Feng looked completely relaxed.

Nourished by the blue lightning, the Iron Sword in Huo Feng's hand slowly began to change.

The originally broad, heavy blade gradually became slender, while its metallic silver-white sheen turned light blue.

Strange patterns like swimming dragons appeared across the blade.

At the same time, a faint numbing sensation traveled from his right hand.

Bzzzt—!

The next instant, immense energy poured into his body like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea.

Ding!

The host's First Soul Ring has finished fusing!

At that moment, the system's clear voice rang out in Huo Feng's mind.

Huff—!

He let out a long breath and involuntarily closed his eyes.

Absorbing the Soul Ring made every part of his body feel exceptionally comfortable.

It had to be said that, with the system's help, the Soul Ring absorption process had gone remarkably smoothly.

From start to finish, it had taken no more than fifteen minutes.

Huo Feng got out of bed and was surprised to discover that his body had changed somewhat from fusing with the Soul Ring.

His originally small frame seemed to have grown taller, and his shoulders had broadened a little.

Even his skin seemed to have become smoother.

Whoosh—!

Huo Feng looked delighted as he stared at the drastically changed Iron Sword in his hand.

His Martial Soul could no longer be called an Iron Sword.

The entire blade was now a faint cyan-blue, with dragon-like patterns resembling lightning strikes winding up its length.

"This looks way more badass now!"

Huo Feng muttered to himself.

Ding!

Friendly reminder: Information on the host's Martial Soul and First Soul Ring can be viewed in the system interface.

Hearing the system prompt, Huo Feng opened the system interface.

As the light screen unfolded, four different sections appeared.

He immediately opened the Host Information section.

Whoosh—!

The entire light screen trembled slightly before changing.

Host Name: Huo Feng. Host Martial Soul: Nine Swords of Dugu (currently in the first stage—Thunderclap Sword!). Host Soul Power: Level 15 Soul Master. Host Soul Skill: Sword Cleaving Strike. Host Soul Bone: None. Host Wives: None.

"Holy shit!"

When he saw the Host Soul Power section, Huo Feng froze in utter disbelief.

He could not help blurting out a curse.

"Level fifteen Soul Power?"

That meant that after absorbing this five-hundred-year yellow Soul Ring, he had jumped five levels straight from level ten.

He had reached level fifteen Soul Power! Even Huo Feng, who possessed a system, found it utterly ridiculous.

Ding!

The host had previously stored a portion of energy due to the sacrifice. After breaking through to the Soul Master level, it stacked with the energy contained within the Soul Ring.

After calculation, the host's Soul Power has increased to level fifteen!

"That powerful?"

Huo Feng could not help muttering.

With level fifteen Soul Power, if he wanted to, he could probably graduate from Notting Junior Soul Master Academy right now.

A five-hundred-year Soul Ring really was fierce!

Only then did Huo Feng notice that his Martial Soul's name had changed to Thunderclap Sword.

And it seemed to be the first stage.

Thunder Element, Thunderclap Sword.

Nothing wrong with that! "First Soul Skill, Sword Cleaving Strike."

Looking at the Soul Skill section, Huo Feng could not help reading it aloud.

It sounded rather plain and unadorned, without any flashy, over-the-top name.

Unfortunately, there was no way for him to test his First Soul Skill at the academy right now.

Huo Feng then closed the Host Information section and opened the Martial Soul section instead.

He had never looked at the Martial Soul section before, despite it having its own separate category.

The light screen trembled slightly before changing again.

Martial Soul: Nine Swords of Dugu! First Stage: Thunderclap Sword! Martial Soul Soul Ring: First Soul Ring: Five-hundred-year yellow Thunder Element Soul Ring! Martial Soul Soul Skills: First Soul Skill: Sword Cleaving Strike!

That was it?

Huo Feng was speechless. Wasn't this exactly the same as what he had just seen?

What was the difference?

But Huo Feng soon discovered that there was more to it than that.

Although it still only listed the Martial Soul, Soul Ring, and Soul Skills,

each section could be viewed in greater detail.

First, he checked the Martial Soul's detailed information.

Martial Soul: Nine Swords of Dugu consists of nine stages. For every ten levels the host's Soul Power increases, the Martial Soul will gain an additional attribute and undergo a corresponding change. The Martial Soul form of every stage will be permanently retained. When the host uses a Soul Skill from the same stage, the Martial Soul will automatically switch to that stage's form. The host's Martial Soul is currently in: First Stage. Additional Attribute: Thunder. Friendly reminder: The attributes added to the host's Martial Soul afterward may be randomly selected from the following. Ice, fire, earth, wind, wood, water, light, dark.

Gasp—!

Seeing this, Huo Feng sucked in a sharp breath.

"This looks insanely awesome."

Every ten levels of Soul Power would add an attribute, causing his Martial Soul to change, and those forms could be retained permanently.

In other words, if he reached the realm of a Titled Douluo,

his Martial Soul: Nine Swords of Dugu would have a total of nine forms with different attributes! Just thinking about it was fucking exciting!

Next, Huo Feng opened the detailed Soul Ring information.

Due to the unique nature of the host's Martial Soul, the host can only absorb Soul Rings provided by the system. The age of the Soul Rings will increase progressively. The additional attribute of each stage's Soul Ring will match the Martial Soul's attribute.

After reading it, Huo Feng nodded, half understanding.

He focused on only one point: he could only absorb Soul Rings provided by the system.

In other words, from Soul Master to Titled Douluo, there were nine Soul Rings in total.

He would not need to hunt Soul Beasts himself for any of them.

The system covered everything! Who wouldn't be thrilled by that?

After all, who the fuck didn't like getting things for free? Finally, Huo Feng opened the detailed Soul Skill information.

First Soul Skill: Sword Cleaving Strike! The system has preserved the casting footage of all Soul Skills and can generate unique images in the host's mind for practical combat drills. Does the host wish to experience it? Currently available Soul Skill for viewing: First Soul Skill.

Huo Feng froze, looking astonished.

It could even be used like this?
