Ghostly Douluo and Moon Guan's pupils contracted. They stood there with their mouths hanging open, then sucked in a cold breath. Was Shen Nuonuo even human?
Her first Spirit Ring was a thousand-year Spirit Ring. She had Twin Martial Souls, and she could even possess three soul skills.
They said that when God opened a window for you, He would close a door.
Which door had Heaven even closed for her?
Seeing Ghostly Douluo and Moon Guan standing there like wooden statues, Shen Nuonuo knew she had given them quite a shock. "Grandpa, Elder Ghost, Elder Ju."
"It isn't what you think. After obtaining the Spirit Ring, I discovered that I already had two soul skills. I can only add Spirit Rings to my main form; the other two forms can't have any added."
Shen Nuonuo actually found it quite regrettable. If all three forms could gain Spirit Rings, then one Martial Soul alone could give her twenty-seven soul skills.
Just thinking about it was awesome. Then, if I filled up my second Martial Soul too, that would make thirty-six soul skills!
After hearing Shen Nuonuo's explanation, Qian Daoliu, Ghostly Douluo, and Chrysanthemum understood, though their expressions remained blank.
Qian Daoliu was somewhat better off. After all, he possessed a God-tier Spirit. But Ghostly Douluo and Moon Guan were different. Their Martial Souls were slightly inferior to those of the other Elders, so their standing within Spirit Hall had never been particularly high.
Fortunately, the two of them possessed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Only then had they truly secured their footing in Spirit Hall.
"Still, I can switch freely between these forms, which is quite convenient. I can use it as an umbrella when it rains, use the shield when I'm attacked, and use it for close combat when enemies get near."
Shen Nuonuo was delighted inside. She had it all planned out beautifully.
Hearing her words, Ghostly Douluo and Moon Guan truly felt a little envious, jealous, and resentful. Sigh, why was the gap between people so vast?
Some people were born at the top of the pyramid, while they had been born as workhorses.
When Qian Daoliu heard her mention using her Martial Soul to shield herself from rain, the corner of his mouth twitched. After calming his excitement, he asked, "Then what are your three soul skills?"
"My main form's first soul skill: Flowing Shadow Thousand Thorns."
"My second form's soul skill: Flowing Light Blade."
"My third form's soul skill: Myriad Mechanism Feather Shield."
As Shen Nuonuo spoke, she summoned the Glazed Myriad Transformation Umbrella and simultaneously mobilized her Soul Power, using her main form's first soul skill. In an instant, she fired over a thousand densely packed needle-like projectiles toward a medium-sized tree not far away.
The needle rain consisted of thousands of silver needles. Its attack speed was incredibly fast, and it covered a fairly wide area.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Amid countless faint sounds,
the needle rain poured down like a torrential downpour, forming a silver curtain of rain. The tree was pierced by the barrage, its leaves perforated one after another, while its trunk became covered in dense needle holes.
The large tree had already been turned into a sieve.
At that moment, Shen Nuonuo once again activated her Soul Power, transforming the Soul Power within her body into a silver needle as fine as an ox hair.
The silver needle continuously twisted and changed in a strange manner, carving an extremely peculiar trajectory through the air as it spread in all directions.
Boom! Boom! Boom...
Under Shen Nuonuo's control, the two nearby trees both exploded apart.
Bang!
A massive explosion rang out. Dust left behind by the exploding trees filled the entire area.
Whew!
Shen Nuonuo took a deep breath and looked at the silver needle condensed in her hand, a smile appearing on her face. "I never expected my first soul skill to possess such powerful might. It's truly unbelievable!"
Though it had only been her first soul skill just now, it was already a move that consumed a great deal of Soul Power for Shen Nuonuo.
After all, she was only Level Fourteen. This soul skill required an enormous amount of Soul Power.
Ghostly Douluo and Moon Guan were also stunned by the sudden explosion.
"Why is your first soul skill so powerful?" Moon Guan asked, eyes wide.
Such terrifying destructive power, from someone who had only just obtained a Spirit Ring and officially become a Soul Master, was truly shocking.
Shen Nuonuo shook her head. "I don't know either. I was just trying it out casually, but I didn't expect it to be this powerful!"
"So Versailles."
Qian Daoliu's face twitched. Why did Shen Nuonuo's expression look so punchable right now?
Unlike Ghostly Douluo and Moon Guan, who could only stare blankly, Qian Renxue looked at Shen Nuonuo with a face full of admiration.
"It consumes too much. I don't have much Soul Power left, so I can't use the other two soul skills." Shen Nuonuo was extremely pleased inside. It seemed the system had not deceived her.
Shen Nuonuo truly did not have enough Soul Power. She had only just obtained her Spirit Ring and was still excited about it, and these soul skills differed from those of ordinary people, so they required an enormous amount of energy.
"Then how do you plan to deal with this problem?" Moon Guan asked again.
Shen Nuonuo looked slightly innocent. "I plan to go back first. Once I have enough Soul Power, I'll use the other two soul skills!"
She remembered that in Peerless Tang Sect, there was that little Milk Bottle, which could store and restore Soul Power.
"Mm. You must cultivate properly from now on. We've delayed long enough, so let's head back first." Qian Daoliu was preparing to have Ghostly Douluo and Chrysanthemum release the remaining soul beasts.
Shen Nuonuo nodded. Watching them release the soul beasts, she felt a little disappointed. That little cat had truly been adorable, but she also understood that she should not put herself in danger.
Qian Daoliu noticed Shen Nuonuo's expression and immediately smiled. "Still just a child."
Children always liked cute things. As someone who had been through it himself, he understood. Once they returned, he would have someone send Nuonuo a pet cat.
After Shen Nuonuo and the others had obtained her first Spirit Ring, they prepared to return to Spirit City.
The carriage was still the same one they had arrived in, but its ordinary coachman had been replaced by Moon Guan.
They finally reached their destination late at night.
Spirit City lay north of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, south of the Star Luo Empire, and close to the Star Dou Great Forest. It could be said to be the most prosperous place on the entire continent in terms of politics and commerce.
Though it was somewhat smaller in area than the two capitals, Heaven Dou City and Star Luo City, its political significance and economic strength far surpassed both of them.
Spirit City was not large, but its walls had absolutely been built according to the standards of a capital's main city. Hexagonal walls eighty meters high encircled Six-Wing Mountain, outlining the shape of Spirit City.
Every patrol guard atop the walls was a Soul Master, dressed in Spirit Hall's specialized uniforms. Each of the six city walls bore a massive relief sculpture symbolizing one of six powerful Martial Souls.
At the center of Spirit City, halfway up Six-Wing Mountain, stood five magnificent structures: Pope's Palace, Elder Hall, Worship Hall, Angel Sanctuary, and Douluo Hall. They overlooked all of Spirit City and Douluo Continent.
Unlike when Shen Nuonuo and Qian Renxue had arrived earlier, both of them were no longer sleepy. They drew back the curtains and looked outside.
Everything was new to Shen Nuonuo, while Qian Renxue was leaving for the first time. Both girls were unfamiliar with the world outside.
