The Power of the First Soul Skill—Please Keep Reading

"Golden Dragon · Skywalk Pierce?"

"It can summon a metal-element Divine Dragon?"

Si Si was somewhat stunned. Not far away, Su Yuntao, who was on night watch, also looked over in surprise.

Before coming to the Soul Hunting Forest, they had heard Xu Changqing briefly explain his martial soul and knew that he was a Summoning System Soul Master, something rare across the entire continent.

They had been mentally prepared for him to summon companions to aid him in battle. They had even speculated and discussed his Soul Skills, suspecting that whichever type of soul beast's Soul Ring he absorbed in the future, he would be able to summon that kind of soul beast to help him fight.

Yet he had suddenly said that his first Soul Ring's skill was to summon a metal-element Divine Dragon?

Although neither of them knew what kind of soul beast a Divine Dragon was,

It had both "divine" and "dragon" in its name.

It sounded utterly absurd, okay?!

On Douluo Continent, gods were supreme beings of legend, ethereal and elusive. Anything associated with that word was bound to be far from simple.

Si Si's curiosity was piqued. She released the hand that had been kneading Xu Changqing's cheeks and urged, "Hurry up and try it. Let your big sister see just how powerful the Soul Skill of the continent's first Summoning System Soul Master is!"

The moment she let go, Xu Changqing impatiently sprang out of her arms. He rubbed his cheeks, which had been kneaded bright red, and cast a resentful glance at Si Si, who was giggling away.

Then his expression grew slightly solemn. With a wave of his right hand, the Five Dragon Lyre appeared out of thin air before him. At the same time, a Hundred-Year Yellow Soul Ring rose spinning from beneath his feet.

The Five Dragon Lyre was already somewhat different from before. Of the five jade-white Divine Dragons engraved at the center of its body, one had turned brilliant gold. Its dragon eyes were open, radiating a sharp aura.

Perhaps the remaining four Divine Dragon engravings correspond to my remaining four Soul Rings. As Xu Changqing thought this, his finger lightly touched a glowing golden string and plucked it gently.

"Zheng~"

As a deep, distant lyre note rang out, the first Hundred-Year Soul Ring circling Xu Changqing also rose upward, flying straight over his head.

Accompanied by a resounding dragon's roar, a figure shot into the sky from the center of the Soul Ring with a whoosh, coiling and soaring through the air above Xu Changqing's head.

Its entire body was golden, as thick as a water bucket and roughly ten meters long. It had a camel's head, deer's antlers, ox ears, a serpent's body, carp-like scales, and eagle-like claws. It was unmistakably the Divine Dragon of Huaxia from his previous life on Blue Star. The moment it appeared, a sharp intent filled the area.

At the same time, the Hundred-Year Soul Ring hovering overhead drifted down, instantly shrinking to the size of a bracelet and slipping around Xu Changqing's wrist, where it slowly rotated clockwise.

A sense of spiritual connection with his summon was established at that moment. Xu Changqing felt that he could freely control the Golden Divine Dragon tumbling through the sky, and he clearly understood all of its abilities.

He let out a soft breath and reached toward an ancient tree more than twenty meters ahead, one so thick that two people would need to join hands to encircle it. The Golden Divine Dragon above his head instantly shot out with a howl. In the blink of an eye, it arrived before the tree and rammed straight into it.

During that time, the horns atop its head rapidly sharpened, like two golden swords. After a loud boom, wood chips flew everywhere. The Golden Dragon left a deep crater in the ancient trunk, while the front half of its own body shattered into specks of golden light that scattered in every direction. Yet those motes swiftly flowed back and reformed its dragon head and body.

With a beckoning gesture, Xu Changqing called the Golden Dragon back. It flew back with a howl and quietly coiled above his head.

"Heavenly Walk Rupture!" He pointed at the ancient tree again. Receiving the command, the Golden Dragon overhead blazed with golden light. Its sharp aura continuously compressed toward its open maw, and a golden beam shot forth in an instant, crossing more than twenty meters and blasting straight through the already battered tree. Its remaining force continued onward, exploding a pit in the ground behind the tree. Around the pit, the earth looked as though it had been sliced by countless blades, with crisscrossing cracks spreading outward.

After that strike, the Golden Dragon's body began to collapse, turning into golden motes that scattered downward. After several breaths, it completely vanished.

Feeling the Soul Power drained from within him, Xu Changqing frowned slightly. One summon had actually consumed a fifth of his Soul Power?

The Soul Power consumption of this First Soul Skill was far too high, wasn't it?

Fortunately, its power was impressive. Xu Changqing was quite satisfied with that, even pleasantly surprised.

He turned toward Su Yuntao and Si Si, only to discover that both were staring at him blankly with their mouths slightly open.

Clearly, his First Soul Skill had stunned them. In truth, Xu Changqing himself was equally astonished. He had never expected his First Soul Skill to possess such destructive power.

"So, Tao Shu, Si Si Jie, is the power of my First Soul Skill decent?" He sounded as though he were asking, but the smile at the corners of his lips was already nearly impossible to hide.

"Y-you call this decent? I-I fucking..."

Su Yuntao was beginning to question life itself. He could barely speak properly. Its destructive power was even greater than his Second Soul Skill, and this kid was asking whether it was decent?

Little brat, he'd only just obtained his First Soul Skill and already his wings had hardened. He had even learned how to piss people off!

Even as Su Yuntao wanted to grab Xu Changqing and give him a spanking to vent his frustration, he was sincerely happy for him.

After recovering from her surprise, Si Si smiled as well. She grabbed Xu Changqing and pulled him back into her arms, kneading his cheeks even more happily.

Xu Changqing had every reason to suspect that she was taking revenge!

"A very powerful Soul Skill. As expected of the only Summoning System Soul Master on the entire continent. Your big sister has truly broadened her horizons today." Si Si smiled as she pinched Xu Changqing's cheeks, enjoying the feel of them as she curiously asked, "That Divine Dragon you summoned seemed to have the ability to restore itself?"

"It does." Xu Changqing nodded. "My First Soul Skill is called Golden Dragon · Skywalk Pierce. From the moment it is summoned, the Golden Dragon can exist for only one minute before dispersing. But within that minute, it cannot be destroyed. No matter how badly it is injured, even if it is smashed into powder, it will immediately restore itself. Of course, that isn't absolute. If I control it to use its ultimate move, Heavenly Walk Rupture—the golden beam it fired from its mouth just now—it will disperse immediately after launching that attack."

Si Si nodded in understanding. Looking at it this way, although the Soul Skill's destructive power was immense, it seemed to have quite a few restrictions.

Still, overall, it could be considered a top-tier Soul Skill. At the very least, she had never seen a Soul Master on Douluo Continent whose First Soul Skill possessed such outrageous destructive power.

"What about the Soul Power consumption? Oh, right, what level is your Soul Power now?" she asked again.

"Level 13. Using my First Soul Skill once consumes around a fifth of my Soul Power."

"Level 13!"

Si Si was somewhat surprised. When she had obtained her first Soul Ring, which was 130 years old, she had only risen to Level 11. Could a 400-year first Soul Ring raise him by so much?

How much cultivation time would that save?

She was envious. Truly envious.

If this little fellow's martial soul had no flaw, how wonderful would that be? He would surely have a place on Douluo Continent in the future.

What a pity.

Sigh.

Si Si stroked Xu Changqing's little head and let out a sigh.
