You No Longer Lack Means of Attack

Chapter 42: You No Longer Lack Means of Attack

"What did you say...?!" After hearing Wind Concealment's words, Reid was so shocked that his mouth hung open.

"I said this skull bone lets me become immune to mental attacks, and it also granted me a soul skill." Wind Concealment explained his newly acquired abilities once more.

"Immune to mental attacks?" Reid suddenly felt that such an ability was far too powerful!

"Yes, immune to most mental attacks! I still don't know its limits, so I'll need to test it later." There was not the slightest hint of joking in Wind Concealment's serious expression.

Reid finally understood why three factions had fought so fiercely over this soul bone. Its abilities were simply too powerful.

"Oh my, that truly is an extremely powerful ability. But that can't be all you gained, can it~?"

Wind Concealment nodded and continued to Rota, "Aside from immunity to mental attacks, this harvest also increased the effectiveness of my mental attacks to 200%."

Sure enough, immunity to mental attacks alone was not enough to make three factions devote so much effort to it.

"Then what is your newly acquired soul skill?" Jin Ling asked curiously, linking her arm through Wind Concealment's.

"This new soul skill is that mental shockwave I accidentally released just now!"

"You mean that deep-blue mental shockwave from earlier?"

"That's right. That is my new soul skill, called Tidal Surge! Tidal Surge sends wave after wave of mental shockwaves at an opponent. Each wave is stronger than the last, increasing in power by roughly 5% each time."

"Hiss..."

Other than Rota, the other two both sucked in a cold breath. Every wave increased in power by 5%, and even the most basic attack had already been enhanced to 200% by the soul bone. No wonder Wind Concealment's mental shockwave could threaten Soul Douluo-level soul masters.

"Wind Concealment, with this, you won't need to worry about opponents of the same level anymore. You may even have the strength to fight a Soul Douluo above your level." Reid was sincerely happy for Wind Concealment.

Hearing Reid's congratulations, Wind Concealment smiled somewhat sheepishly. He owed these abilities to Elder Kizaru's help!

"This is all thanks to Elder Kizaru. If Elder Kizaru had given the soul bone to you, Reid, you could do it too!" Wind Concealment had not become carried away just because he had obtained a soul bone.

"Forget it. This soul bone suits you better. I'm an assault-type soul master, and I prefer pursuing physical attack power!" Reid laughed heartily.

Looking at Wind Concealment and Reid, Rota felt that his judgment had indeed not been wrong. These were the kind of companions with good character that he needed.

Companions with rotten character were, to put it bluntly, ticking time bombs. They might screw you over at any moment.

Wind Concealment and the other two had already displayed admirable qualities during their final battle against the Blazing Sun Lion King. That was also the main reason Rota had decided to give the soul bone to Wind Concealment.

"Jin Ling, from now on, I'll have the ability to protect you!" Wind Concealment said excitedly to Jin Ling, who was leaning against him.

Reid immediately turned his head away. What was this?! Why did he have to suffer this kind of damage at his age?

Seeing Reid's expression, Rota could not help pursing his lips in a smile. If Reid lived in Rota's world, he would probably be stuffed to death by all this affection.

Rota himself was already used to such displays of affection and did not think much of them. But Reid was not like Rota, whose resistance to this kind of poison was maxed out. He simply could not bear it.

Wind Concealment also noticed that something was off with Reid and quickly gave Jin Ling beside him a meaningful look.

Jin Ling had long understood what Wind Concealment meant. Besides, she had seen Reid's reaction too. She and Wind Concealment could not go overboard in front of him.

"Wind Concealment, Reid, this old man will give you a Soul Tool for long-distance communication~"

Rota had recently saved up three Den Den Mushi and could give two of them to Wind Concealment and the others.

"Wind Concealment, you and Jin Ling are usually together, so this one is for you~"

"Reid, this one is yours. Don't lose it~"

Wind Concealment and the other two were full of curiosity about the little item Rota had given them. They had never seen such a Soul Tool before.

"This little thing sure looks unusual!" Reid said as he fiddled with the Den Den Mushi Rota had given him.

"Be gentle. This little fellow is quite delicate~"

Seeing Reid handle it so roughly gave Rota a headache. He had better quickly explain how to use the Den Den Mushi.

Using the simplest words possible, Rota introduced the Den Den Mushi's functions to the three of them, then gave a brief demonstration.

After the demonstration, Wind Concealment and the others' eyes were wide as saucers. Today had truly broadened their horizons. There was actually such a strange and remarkable thing in the world.

"In short, if anything comes up in the future, you can contact each other through the Den Den Mushi. That's basically all it does~"

To be safe, Rota still gave them a small reminder. He was not worried about Wind Concealment or Jin Ling; he was mainly afraid that Reid, this rough brute, would break the Den Den Mushi outright.

"Elder Kizaru, rest assured. Even if I, Reid, am beaten to death by a Titled Douluo or killed by a soul beast, I will never let this Den Den Mushi suffer the slightest damage." Reid knew Rota was reminding him, so he naturally had to make a statement.

When Rota heard that, he nearly thought the ancestor of famous last words had come to the Douluo world. He just hoped Reid would not end up eating those words.

"Then this old man will remember that, Reid~"

Rota's words made Reid feel that perhaps he had gone a little too far. Sure enough, it was always useful to leave yourself a way out.

"With this Den Den Mushi, it will be much more convenient for everyone to stay in touch. Now, follow the previous plan and begin acting~" Rota felt there was nothing else to instruct them on and intended to let them get started.

"Elder Kizaru, then what should Jin Ling and I do for now?"

The first step of the plan was to begin recruiting merchants, but Wind Concealment and Jin Ling had no connections in the Heaven Dou Empire.

"Oh-ho-ho, let this old man think... You two should follow Reid. The three of you can look after one another~"

"As you command, Elder Kizaru!"

"Oh, right, do you remember those nobles who gave you trouble? This old man will handle matters in Heavenly Dou~"

Wind Concealment also understood Rota's intentions. The assets owned by those nobles were quite substantial. Without hiding anything, Wind Concealment told Rota one by one about the nobles who had suppressed him and Jin Ling.

"Now this old man knows. You can develop yourselves in the Star Luo Empire first. This old man will take care of those nobles~" Rota seemed to already see a flock of fat sheep waving at him.

Seeing the meaningful smile on Elder Kizaru's face, Wind Concealment silently mourned for those nobles for a few seconds. Once Elder Kizaru had his eye on them, they would not be able to jump around for much longer!

"Then this old man will part ways with you here. As an elder of Spirit Hall, I still have to go back and clock in~"

Spirit Hall's regulations were rather strict. Under normal circumstances, elders had a great deal of freedom, but elders like Rota, who set out without even giving notice, were rare.

Thinking about it, it had been nearly three days since he left Spirit City. That old fellow Qian Xunjie was probably about to explode with anger.

Rota had already made up his mind. After returning, he would stay home in Spirit City for a few days before heading out to work again. He would let those nobles jump around for a few more days first!
