Third Soul Ring Direction Determined, Tang San: Oh No, It's Coming for Me!

"But..." Qian Daoliu paused, then continued, "For me, Holy Light Heal is a soul skill granted by my soul ring. With that soul ring, using it is simple and effortless. But for you, it would be a Self-Created Soul Skill starting from scratch.

"What I can teach you are my feelings when using this soul skill and the circulation of soul power. Whether you can learn it in the end will depend on your own comprehension. Do you understand?"

Hu Bai nodded heavily at those words. He did not look discouraged in the slightest.

As long as Qian Daoliu was willing to teach him, that was enough. Whether he could learn it was up to him as the student!

"Little Xue, although you already have the soul ring for Holy Light Heal, you can learn alongside him as well and deepen your mastery of the soul skill," Qian Daoliu said calmly.

Qian Renxue gave a soft hum. She was now a Soul Elder, and Holy Light Heal happened to be her third soul ring.

For the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, no matter what kind of Light Attribute soul ring it obtained, the soul skills granted were fixed. According to her grandfather, this was for the sake of inheritance.

Qian Jun and Jiang Mo smiled from the side and asked with great interest, "Kid, why don't you get yourself a Gold Attribute soul ring? Self-Created Soul Skills involving Lightning Attribute or Light Attribute are hard to learn, but Gold Attribute is different.

"If you get a good Gold Attribute soul ring, you can directly condense a staff later on. The two of us can teach you staff techniques. Wouldn't that be great?"

As they spoke, Qian Jun and Jiang Mo released their Coiling Dragon Staff Martial Souls, twirled them twice in front of Hu Bai, then rested the staffs across their shoulders with roguish grins. "How about it? Pretty handsome, right?"

Hu Bai: .

Though the two clearly suspectedly wanted to show off in front of him, he had to admit that Qian Jun and Jiang Mo made a lot of sense. A Self-Created Soul Skill based on the Gold Element might be the easiest to learn, but it had one drawback: it was not very flexible.

At most, he could obtain one Gold Element soul ring, and the boost it gave to the Gold Element would only come from a single soul skill. No matter how much he studied staff techniques or anything else afterward, he could never become as formidable as Qian Jun and Jiang Mo.

After all, all nine of their soul rings enhanced their staffs. He only had one soul ring. What could he use to compare?

However, he already had an idea about what type of third soul ring to choose.

When fighting Bibi Dong, he had felt that he lacked something. That was right—he lacked close-combat ability.

Whether it was the Lightning Element or the Light Element, all the abilities he possessed were long-range. Once an enemy got close, his options would become limited.

Hearing Qian Jun and Jiang Mo's suggestion, Qian Daoliu's eyes flashed. "Little Fellow, I remember your brother's Martial Soul is the Moon Blade, right? And the three of you siblings can use the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Nine-Tailed Bewitching Charm. If your third soul ring were Gold Attribute, do you think it would improve your attack power?"

Qian Daoliu's words woke Hu Bai up!

That was right. If his third soul ring was of the Gold Element, it could not only strengthen himself, but also enhance the Moon Blade after their Martial Souls fused, making the three of them even stronger!

"Of course, a Space Attribute soul ring would also be good. You can choose your third soul ring from these two elements. Either one would be an enormous improvement for you right now."

The Gold Element could strengthen Hu Bai's close-combat abilities. It might even allow him to control a Weapon Spirit Master's weapon in the later stages. Of course, against top-tier experts, it would at most be interference. Fully controlling one would probably be impossible.

Tang San: Oh No, It's Coming for Me?

The Space Element was even better. First, it could give Hu Bai the ability to Teleportation. If used properly, it could also allow Space Compression, Space Cutting, Space Distortion, and more. It was a very interesting path to explore!

However, finding a suitable Space Attribute Soul Beast truly depended on luck—and exceptionally good luck at that. Spirit Hall had records of very few kinds of Space Attribute Soul Beasts.

"Alright, I'll release Holy Light Heal now. Feel it slowly. If my guess is correct, you already possess Elemental Affinity. One of the Light Element's passive effects is healing. When you attach the Light Element to your body, you should be able to sense it.

"It is just that because you do not have a soul ring or a structured soul skill, this Healing Power is extremely, extremely weak. What you need to learn now is condensation—condensing this Healing Power as much as possible."

Qian Daoliu explained his understanding of the Light Element and its applications.

Although this was also his first time seeing a Martial Soul like the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, his seasoned eye still allowed him to discern quite a few things.

Hu Bai was secretly startled as well. Qian Daoliu had actually guessed correctly.

He truly could use the Light Element to heal himself, but as Qian Daoliu had said, the Healing Power was incredibly weak.

He had tried it himself. After cutting a small wound into his finger and covering it with the Light Element, it had taken a full minute to heal. That speed was simply too slow.

With Healing Power like this, how was he supposed to carry out Lightning Body Tempering later?

While Qian Daoliu taught Hu Bai, the Six Great Worships had nothing better to do, so they all watched together.

Golden Crocodile Douluo had said that Hu Bai possessed remarkable comprehension when it came to Self-Created Soul Skills. During his time in the Star Dou Great Forest, he had already created several soul skills using the Lightning Element. What about the Light Element?

After an hour passed, Qian Daoliu was secretly astonished by Hu Bai's progress. Incredible—Hu Bai's rate of improvement was far too shocking. Though he had yet to reach the point of creating a Self-Created Soul Skill, it was not far from taking shape.

Just moments ago, Hu Bai had cut another wound into his finger and used the Light Element to heal it. It had healed in less than ten seconds!

However, Hu Bai felt a little helpless about this. To learn a Healing Technique, he had to hurt himself. He did not have masochistic tendencies.

"Grandpa Qian, I feel like I'm about to learn it, but it still feels like something is missing. Mm... oh, right—the specific soul power circulation route! When you use this soul skill, how does the soul power in your body circulate? And even your Spiritual Power—what kind of changes does it undergo?"

Hu Bai believed this was extremely important to him. Since it was a skill, it should have a corresponding circulation route. He could not possibly be like Hashirama Senju, clap his hands together, shout whatever he wanted, and have it appear, could he?

He hoped he could reach that level too, but unfortunately, he could not. That would be asking too much of him.

Qian Daoliu fell silent. Let this little fellow examine the circulation route of his soul power? How could that be done?

The only way was for Hu Bai to use his Spiritual Power to enter Qian Daoliu's body and observe it. But that required a great deal of mutual trust.

Although he thought highly of Hu Bai and even intended to bring him together with Little Xue, their relationship had not reached the point where he could allow Hu Bai's Spiritual Power to enter his body.

Then, Qian Daoliu turned his gaze toward Qian Renxue.
