Douluo: Martial Soul Mysterious Tortoise, Counterattack Armor Critical Strike

Earth Rock Tortoise

Huang Wei nodded. "There's only one Soul Ancestor. That's a piece of cake for me. When the time comes, I'll activate my martial soul and cover you all inside. You can just stand there and let them slash at you."

"..."

Hu Liena, Yan, and Xie Yue were all left speechless.

Even if the other side did not hear those words, the three of them felt deeply uncomfortable just listening to him.

Huang Wei added, "If we're going tomorrow, then I'll add my Second Soul Ring today. My defense will receive an unprecedented boost, and we'll be even safer."

"Second Soul Ring?"

"Junior Brother, have you reached Level 20?"

Hu Liena was astonished. She had not expected him to advance so quickly.

Huang Wei nodded. "Yeah, I just broke through."

He muttered, "If I hadn't been slacking off normally, I might not even have needed half a month to break through."

Yan and Xie Yue's faces immediately darkened.

The way you said that makes it sound like we've been cultivating like dogs.

Hu Liena felt the same. They all knew Huang Wei cultivated quickly, but none of them could raise five levels in a single month.

What was more, it had only been a little over a month since this guy awakened his martial soul.

A six-year-old Level 20 Soul Grandmaster after just over a month was simply terrifying.

He had already broken the record.

"I'll take you to see the Dean. He's an Eight-Ring Soul Douluo and can fly. It'll be faster if he takes you to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt your Second Soul Ring."

"We'll go with you too."

Hu Liena said.

Huang Wei asked, "Can he fly while carrying so many people?"

Xie Yue crossed his arms and said calmly, "The Dean's Fifth Soul Skill allows group flight. We're not far from the Star Dou Great Forest. Half an incense stick's time will be enough."

Everyone looked at the sky. It was noon.

"Alright, let's go." Huang Wei nodded.

After getting dressed, Huang Wei and the other three headed for the Dean's office.

Foster was working in his office when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

"The door isn't locked. Come in." He could not even be bothered to ask who it was and answered blandly.

After all, who would dare act presumptuously at Martial Soul Academy?

He was the Dean.

"Hello, Dean." Hu Liena and the others greeted him.

Foster looked up, curious. Were these four here because of the mission?

As the Dean, he had already been informed of the mission Bibi Dong, Your Eminence the Pope, had assigned to the four of them.

"Saintess, Young Master Wei, why are you here?" Foster immediately stood to welcome them.

Huang Wei said, "Dean, I've broken through to Level 20 Soul Power. I'd like to ask you to take us to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt a Soul Beast for my Second Soul Ring."

"Oh, Young Master Wei has broken through to Level 20!"

Foster was immediately overjoyed. Sensing the Soul Power fluctuations radiating from Huang Wei, he confirmed that he had indeed reached Level 20.

Not bad, not bad.

He had achieved this much in only one month.

It would not take long for him to surpass Hu Liena and the other two.

"Alright, I'll take you to hunt your Second Soul Ring right now." Foster nodded. He was more than willing to help.

"Dean, we're going too. We're a team," Hu Liena said.

"Alright!"

Everyone left the office.

"Golden Eagle Possession!"

Foster let out a low shout and directly summoned his martial soul.

A massive Golden Eagle fused with Foster. Its golden wings flapped, lifting his body from the ground as he flew into the air.

At the same time, two yellow, two purple, and four black Soul Rings—the standard eight rings—appeared around him.

His Fifth Soul Ring lit up.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Soaring Speed Share!"

The next moment, golden Eagle Power appeared around everyone.

A pair of Golden Eagle Wings as large as Foster's appeared behind each of the four.

They floated into the air.

Feeling flight for the first time, Huang Wei found it incredibly wondrous.

So this was flying. It felt pretty good.

"The duration is only half an incense stick. I'll distribute Soul Power to your wings, so let's hurry."

Foster said, and the four nodded.

He then controlled their direction of flight as they shot into the sky and sped toward the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Young Master Wei, what kind of Soul Beast do you want for your Second Soul Ring?"

Foster asked while flying.

Huang Wei replied, "A turtle type. Any one around 700-800 Years will do."

To him, Soul Rings were merely keys for leveling up. What power the Second Soul Ring would ultimately grant still depended on what the Mysterious Tortoise itself gave him.

His First Soul Ring had granted him increased defense.

The Second Soul Ring would most likely be the same.

Foster said, "The maximum limit a person can withstand for a Second Soul Ring is 764 Years, yet you want to absorb one beyond that?"

Huang Wei said indifferently, "Dean, my First Soul Ring already exceeded the limit. Given my current physical strength and martial soul strength, absorbing an 800 Years Soul Beast would be more than easy. Still, I'm not picky. As long as it's a turtle type within the absorption range for a Second Soul Ring, I'll take it."

Foster shook his head. "That won't do. You're following the Defense System, so you must find a turtle type related to defense. Since you chose defense, don't make it into a mishmash."

Huang Wei said, "Dean, my Martial Soul Mysterious Tortoise is rather special. What Soul Skill I obtain is not decided by the Soul Beast of the Soul Ring. After absorbing the Soul Ring, it is decided by my Martial Soul Mysterious Tortoise."

They were all on the same side, so there was nothing he could not say.

"What?"

Foster frowned in extreme surprise. "Something like that actually exists?!"

It was his first time hearing of such a thing.

Hu Liena and the other two were astonished. Hu Liena said, "I heard Teacher say that your First Martial Soul was the Thorn Armored Earth Turtle, but your first Soul Skill seems completely unrelated to the Thorn Armored Earth Turtle."

Huang Wei nodded. "That's right."

"Then what Soul Skill did your First Soul Ring give your Mysterious Tortoise?" Yan asked.

Huang Wei said, "A massive increase in Defense and Counterattack."

"..."

Powerful Defense and Counterattack had become the psychological shadow haunting Xie Yue and Yan.

"An interesting Soul Ring. Since that's the case, I won't force you. I'll find you a defensive turtle type within the appropriate age range," Foster said.

"Alright."

Very soon, everyone arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest.

This was Huang Wei's second time here.

Foster headed straight for the Rock Area.

Most defensive turtle types gathered there.

Foster released his Soul Douluo aura.

The surrounding Soul Beasts quickly fled.

None dared approach.

Everyone's wings also vanished.

They looked at the Rock Area ahead.

"How about finding a Thorn Armored Earth Turtle? My First Soul Ring came from one anyway," Huang Wei suggested.

"Huh, that's an Earth Rock Tortoise!"

At that moment, Foster's sharp eyes spotted a tortoise shell in a Mud Puddle not far ahead. His eyes flashed as he spoke.

"An Earth Rock Tortoise?"

Everyone looked over and saw that it was indeed one.

"It's 850 Years. Are you confident?" Foster looked at Huang Wei.

Soul Beast: Earth Rock Tortoise

Age: 850 Years

Personality: Tough and bad-tempered

Can be absorbed. Absorb?

"Yes, that one." Huang Wei nodded.

No one had expected to find a suitable Soul Beast so quickly. Their luck was good.

Foster flew over directly and attacked the Earth Rock Tortoise, beating it until it was weakened before lifting it up.

He flew straight back toward Huang Wei.

Worn Out From Fighting

The Earth Rock Tortoise, thrown before everyone, had ten thousand question marks in its heart.

I was just sleeping. How did I get attacked by humans?

Sob sob sob... I'm done for. I'm going to become someone else's Soul Ring.

The Earth Rock Tortoise was instantly overcome with grief.

"Young Master Wei, come on. I'll leave the rest to you," Foster said with a smile.

Huang Wei nodded, reached out to stroke the Earth Rock Tortoise's head, and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid. It'll be over soon."

As soon as he spoke, Huang Wei's thought moved. The next second, immense Soul Power surged from his body, and a gigantic Mysterious Tortoise appeared above and behind him.

The Turtle Overlord Aura made the Earth Rock Tortoise's heart tremble after just one glance.

What kind of turtle was that?

Utter terror!!!

Its body trembled even more violently.

The next moment, the Mysterious Tortoise let out a deep roar. The Mysterious Patterns on its Tortoise Shell immediately lit up and shrouded the Earth Rock Tortoise.

In merely an instant, the Earth Rock Tortoise turned into a stream of brown energy and entered Huang Wei's body.

If Bibi Dong had been there to witness this scene, she would definitely have cried out that it looked familiar.

Huang Wei immediately sat cross-legged and began absorbing it.
