Support Type!
Wu Zhangkong's icy expression twitched slightly.
Tang Wulin's face also darkened.
They still did not know what Xia Yi's Star Shift meant.
Although Xia Yi was irritating, a loss was still a loss. Losing to an assault-type Soul Master was easier to accept than losing to a support-type Soul Master, no matter what.
Unlike Wu Zhangkong and Tang Wulin, Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li's eyes instantly blazed with excitement. She was even more agitated than Bi Ji had been when she first saw Star Shift.
After Xia Yi returned Na'er to her, she immediately handed Na'er over to Tang Wulin. Staring at Xia Yi with blazing eyes, she seemed more excited than a starving beggar who had gone three days without food and suddenly found a feast. She grabbed Xia Yi's hand and asked, "Can you let me see your soul skill again?"
Ya Li's reaction was entirely within Xia Yi's expectations, but he did not show it. Instead, he said with a reluctant expression, "I already returned Na'er to you. Give me what I want first."
Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li froze for a moment before realizing that she had lost her composure. "I was being presumptuous. Choose for yourself."
With a wave of Ya Li's hand, one treasure after another appeared before Xia Yi: ten-thousand-year spirit items, peerless Soul Tools, everything imaginable. There was even a piece of dark green Heaven-Forged Metal.
Even Wu Zhangkong could not help swallowing at the sight of these treasures.
As expected of the wife of Yun Ming, the Sky-Piercing Douluo and current Pavilion Master of Sea God Pavilion. She was actually willing to take out Heaven-Forged Metal.
One had to know that across the entire continent, Divine Craftsman Zhen Hua was the only person capable of Forging Heaven-Forged Metal.
Countless Three-Word Battle Armor Masters had squandered their entire fortunes without managing to persuade Zhen Hua to forge for them.
Yet Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li actually had some to spare.
"This piece of Heaven-Forged Metal was reserve metal Divine Craftsman Zhen Hua prepared for me, so that if my Battle Armor were damaged, it could be repaired immediately. It is only suitable for healing type Soul Masters, and most Soul Masters cannot use it. Besides, it is useless in my hands. If you want it, I can give it to you. But I still hope you will not use it to make Battle Armor. Although you are also a healing type Soul Master, our martial souls are different. This metal was personally tailored for me by Divine Craftsman Zhen Hua, so it would be difficult for it to fit anyone else perfectly." Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li took the initiative to introduce the piece of Heaven-Forged Metal to Xia Yi. In this era where Battle Armor ran rampant, rare metals were hard currency.
There was no need to mention Heaven-Forged Metal. Across the entire continent, only Holy Spirit Douluo and Divine Craftsman Zhen Hua had spare Heaven-Forged Metal.
This piece of Heaven-Forged Metal was also the most valuable item in Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li's Storage Soul Tool. Originally, she had not intended to give it to Xia Yi.
It was only after seeing Xia Yi's Star Shift that she decided to give it to him.
In her eyes, only Heaven-Forged Metal could possibly attract Xia Yi.
Heaven-Forged Metal already possessed life and a soul. It might be able to resonate with Xia Yi's Star Shift.
Looking at the Heaven-Forged Metal before him, Xia Yi could not help swallowing. Even though he knew nothing about Forging or rare metals, he could still sense how precious this piece of Heaven-Forged Metal was.
Xia Yi struggled to restrain the urge to accept the Heaven-Forged Metal. He shook his head hard and said, "None of these are what I want."
"They aren't?" Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li froze, disbelief filling her eyes.
"That's right, they aren't." Xia Yi nodded firmly.
"Then what do you want?" Holy Spirit Douluo asked.
"I don't know. Do you have any other treasures on you? Why not take them all out and let me have a look?" Xia Yi said in a deep voice.
"All right." Holy Spirit Douluo did not show any impatience. Instead, she took every treasure from her Storage Soul Tool.
Although every single treasure was priceless, unfortunately, none of them was what Xia Yi wanted.
"Why don't you release your martial soul and soul skills for me to see? Let me find out what treasure I have that resonates with your martial soul and soul skills." Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li had not forgotten that she wanted to thoroughly study Xia Yi's soul skill.
"All right." Xia Yi nodded helplessly. After entering Martial Soul Possession once more, he looked up at Ya Li and said, "My soul skill is a healing soul skill. No one here is injured, so even if I use it, you will not be able to see its effects."
"Try it on me." As Ya Li spoke, her fingernail swept across her palm, opening a wound that continuously bled. Xia Yi did not even have time to stop her.
"I can't heal you. Could we switch to someone else?" Xia Yi scratched his head awkwardly.
"Oh? Why can't you heal me?" Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li asked curiously. She had used herself as a test subject precisely because she wanted to personally experience the effects of Xia Yi's soul skill.
Why could Xia Yi not heal her?
"It's like this: my soul skill can directly restore your wound, but the flesh and blood produced during the restoration must be transformed from my Soul Power. Your cultivation is too profound, and the power contained within your body is terrifyingly strong. Even if I exhausted all my Soul Power, it would not be enough to restore your wound." Xia Yi explained helplessly. Although he held something back, it was still the truth.
Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li nodded and smiled faintly. "I see. Then try it and see how much you can do."
"All right." Xia Yi nodded. As his First Soul Ring lit up, he extended two fingers and gently traced them above Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li's wound.
As gentle light lit up from Xia Yi's fingertips, Ya Li had not even figured out what was happening before she felt a slight chill in her wound. The injury on her palm had already healed more than halfway.
But Xia Yi's Soul Power was also exhausted. His face turned pale as he was forced out of Martial Soul Possession.
Xia Yi was not worried that Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li would notice anything unusual. Bi Ji had studied Star Shift for three days and three nights without figuring it out, so how could Holy Spirit Douluo possibly see through it?
"What a peculiar ability." Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li stared at the half-healed wound in her palm and fell into thought. After pondering for a long time, she still could not determine what was going on.
After a long while, she finally lowered her head to look at Xia Yi and asked in a deep voice, "Would you be willing to become my student?"
I knew this would happen! Xia Yi felt utterly depressed. The moment he saw Holy Spirit Douluo's blazing gaze, he had guessed that she was thinking of taking him as her student.
Otherwise, she would not have been so accommodating toward Xia Yi, nor would she have taken out Heaven-Forged Metal without the slightest hesitation.
"I only want something on you that can attract me." Xia Yi shook his head. He did not want to spend his entire life as a support.
"It isn't that I refuse to give it to you. It's that I have already shown you every valuable treasure I possess, and you did not want any of them. I also cannot figure out your soul skill, so I do not know what exactly I have that is attracting you." Ya Li shook her head, then smiled. "How about you become my student first? Once we discover what it is that attracts you, I'll give it to you then. How about that?"
"Forget it. Just give me the Heaven-Forged Metal." Xia Yi shook his head helplessly. He did not want to find himself a bargain teacher. Besides, even Holy Spirit Douluo herself did not understand what Star Shift was, so how could she teach him?
Besides, once his martial soul evolved, there was no telling whether his next soul skill would still be a healing skill. What would he need a healing type teacher for?
