A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Cleansed and Reforged
"It can be resolved in three minutes."
Tang San didn't say how many moves he would use, but only gave a conservative estimate of the time.
After all, we don't know what this person's Martial Soul is, so there's a lot of uncertainty. A powerful Martial Soul could provide an absurd boost to Soul Master's strength.
But!
The process of dealing with the other party is certainly not a fair contest like that between a work-study student and Noble Student, where any means are acceptable.
Therefore, if Tang San were to use the Tang Sect's Hidden Weapon weapon techniques and throwing Hidden Weapon, he was confident that he could defeat this woman within three minutes.
In any case, this woman's Soul Power has not yet reached the level of Soul Grandmaster.
Even if she had truly reached the level of Soul Grandmaster, Tang San was confident he could defeat her. He could even use the Soul Conductor Godly Zhuge Crossbow. Unless she was wearing some kind of highly defensive soft armor or a precious Soul Tool with defensive capabilities, he could kill her with a single blow.
"Hey, aren't you two going a bit too far? Saying you're going to take care of me right in front of me, are you really children?" The woman's eyes widened, as if she was questioning her life, but she calmly completed the Martial Soul Possession, growing a pair of fox ears and a fluffy tail behind her.
Martial Soul: Spirit Fox.
The pale yellow Soul Ring lit up, and a pink halo seemed to flicker in the woman's eyes.
The First Soul Skill: Charm.
Zhou Qing felt a blur before his eyes and his vision became slightly hazy, but he immediately bit his tongue to stimulate himself with pain and recovered, then threw a punch.
Thump!
With a scream of pain, a bruise appeared on the woman's right eye socket, and red veins appeared in the whites of her eyes.
Zhou Qing said, "I am a champion of gender equality, and I have no intention of showing mercy to women."
Tang San had cultivated the Purple Demon Eye since childhood, and his Spiritual Power was much stronger than this woman's. He was only bewitched for a moment before he came to his senses.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Qing struck first, nearly blinding one of her eyes.
However, this woman's Martial Soul has been revealed; it's a fox, and her Soul Skill is Charm. Her physical skills and combat techniques might not be strong, only her Soul Power is slightly higher than mine. If she uses Hidden Weapon, I can indeed defeat her within three moves.
Xiao Wu was the last to regain consciousness.
"That despicable woman, how dare she bewitch Sister Xiao Wu, she's asking for it!" The first thing Xiao Wu did was to throw a punch after Zhou Qing, hitting the woman's other eye socket. Then, she instantly activated her Martial Soul Possession and used her First Soul Skill: Waist Bow.
This Soul Skill can instantly enhance Xiao Wu's waist strength by 100% and her resilience by 50%. After becoming Soul Master, the amplification effect of the Waist Bow increases by 1% for each level of Soul Power she gains.
Xiao Wu's Soul Power is now at level 13, her waist strength has increased by 103%, and her resilience has increased by 53%.
In Zhou Qing's view, the reason why this Soul Skill can exhibit an evolutionary effect is entirely because most of the paths it uses to circulate Soul Power are likely to overlap with the Soul Power circulation routes within his own body, rather than the perfect combination of the Soul Power circulation routes within his own Soul Ring and the human body's own Soul Power cultivation paths as he envisioned.
Even Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast capable of condensing its own Soul Ring cannot do this—perhaps because soul Beast Transformation human form, do not have much understanding of the human body.
However, most physical-type Soul Skill can indeed be enhanced as the Soul Master's cultivation level increases.
Under Xiao Wu's Waist Bow Soul Skill, her long legs instantly clamped around the woman's neck, and her bent waist straightened in an instant. The woman flew off the balcony like a projectile.
Thump!
A dull thud resounded.
Zhou Qing and Tang San immediately went to the balcony to look and found that the woman was lying on the ground, her limbs twitching. Before she came to her senses, she should have been temporarily unable to fight.
"So weak?" Tang San felt a little ashamed of his earlier thought that he could defeat his opponent in three moves, when he could have done it in just one!
Zhou Qing was already certain that the other party was born into a commoner family. Obtaining the First Spirit Ring was probably just luck. Moreover, it was very likely that after graduating from the Soul Master Academy, he did not pursue further studies and had not even participated in Soul Fight many times. Otherwise, his actual combat ability would not be so weak.
"This is the price for daring to bewitch Sister Xiao Wu!"
Xiao Wu then walked onto the balcony and Taunt the woman.
However, Zhou Qing gave Xiao Wu a deep look.
The transformation of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast form seems to truly be a cleansing of its past as Soul Beast, a fresh start—
In the original novel, Xiao Wu's Second Soul Skill is also Charm, but this ability is not very effective against people with stronger Spiritual Power.
He was actually attacked by Zhao Wuji!
A dignified Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, yet her Spiritual Power is inferior to that of beings whose strength does not even reach the level of Soul Douluo. Even Soul Master at the Soul Saint and Soul Emperor levels can turn against her.
Although the Soft Bone Rabbit is not a particularly rare Soul Beast, it has still reached the cultivation level of Hundred-Thousand-Year, and its Spiritual Power is at least at the level of Titled Douluo.
Theoretically speaking, she can Charm any Soul Master below the Titled Douluo, as long as their Martial Soul isn't too special.
Judging from Xiao Wu's performance in terms of Spiritual Power in the original work, and her current behavior of being bewitched by a Soul Master's Charm skill, the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast that has transformed into human form has probably been completely cleansed and retrained, including in terms of Spiritual Power.
The fact that a transformed Soul Beast can condense its first six Soul Ring probably means that its cultivation level of Hundred-Thousand-Year cannot be completely washed away during the transformation process. It needs to gradually shed its Soul Beast identity step by step through the form of Soul Ring.
Judging from Xiao Wu's usual cultivation observations, she also absorbs the Heaven and Earth Energy from the outside world to enhance her Soul Power, rather than directly transferring it from her original cultivation level.
This can be analyzed by considering the fact that when Soul Master absorbs Soul Ring, they gain Soul Skill, which may even increase Soul Master Soul Power by a small amount.
Soul Ring contain the cultivation accumulated by Soul Beast throughout its life. However, most of the energy within them is likely used to converge the operational path of Soul Skill under the influence of the rules of the Douluo Continent, which is why they take the form of Soul Ring. Only a small portion of the energy can be retained, which can slightly increase the Soul Power when absorbed by the Soul Master.
Otherwise, if Soul Master were to completely refine and absorb the cultivation of the Soul Beast within a Soul Ring, their Soul Power would not only increase by one or two levels.
Moreover, the energy within Soul Ring must be extremely pure.
After all, even for the Fallen Ones, the efficiency of absorbing and converting the Soul Power of others is very low. The reason for this is that the Soul Power of others is not compatible with their own, and a large part of it is wasted during the conversion process.
However, under the influence of the rules of the Douluo Continent, the cultivation of Soul Beast is used to condense Soul Skill, which solves the problem of the incompatibility between the Soul Power of Soul Beast and the Soul Power of human Soul Master.
Following this line of thought, when Tang San absorbed the Mandala Snake's Soul Ring in the original novel and his Soul Power increased to level thirteen, it was probably not only because Martial Soul original Innate Soul Power was gathered there, but also because the Mandala Snake and the Blue Silver Grass were perfectly matched, only Entangling, thus saving more cultivation points and providing Tang San with more Soul Power to refine.
Tang San's current Soul Power can reach level fourteen after absorbing the Wolf Howl Grass's Soul Ring. This is mainly because the connection between his two Martial Soul, Blue Silver Grass and Clear Sky Hammer, and himself is more precise. He cultivates three techniques simultaneously, so the Innate Soul Power of the two Martial Soul gathers in his dantian and manifests after Tang San breaks through to the Soul Master realm.
The same applies to Zhou Qing's Martial Soul and Blood Circulation System.
