Douluo: Martial Soul Mysterious Tortoise, Counterattack Armor Critical Strike

"Novice Gift Pack opened successfully. Congratulations, Host, you have obtained equipment: Thorn Armor x1."

"Thorn Armor has automatically been equipped on Mysterious Tortoise."

"Thorn Armor: After being equipped, it greatly increases defense and damage reflection. When attacked, it reduces the opponent's damage by 60% and reflects 40% of their damage. If the opponent attacks you while under control, 60% of their damage is reflected. It ignores level and defense, directly affecting the inside and outside of the body. Effects can stack."

"Friendly reminder: If the target reflecting damage exceeds the defense limit by too much, the reflected damage will gradually decrease."

Hearing the system's report, Huang Wei was thoroughly invigorated.

Damn, he had actually pulled Thorn Armor, and it even ignored levels.

This was awesome.

Although there was that friendly reminder afterward, it was only reasonable.

If such a divine defensive piece of equipment had no restrictions, it would be truly terrifying.

The system said it had equipped Mysterious Tortoise with it, but he did not feel anything.

Perhaps the effect would only become obvious after he summoned Mysterious Tortoise Possession, or when someone hit him.

He already had a god-tier piece of equipment in the early stage.

As he ate, Huang Wei checked the Character Interface:

Turtle Invincible System

Host: Huang Wei

Martial Soul: Mysterious Tortoise

Talent: Tortoise Longevity

Lifespan: 300

Soul Power: 10 (Soul Master)

Soul Skill: None

Equipment: Thorn Armor

After traveling by carriage the entire way, they finally arrived in Nuoding City at noon.

The carriage quickly entered and stopped before Spirit Hall.

Huang Wei looked at the Spirit Hall Branch. It was grand and majestic, imposing, and gave off a stifling feeling.

"We're here." Su Yuntao and Huang Wei got out of the carriage and quickly headed up the steps.

When the Golden Armor Guards on both sides of the entrance saw Su Yuntao, they still asked, "What is he here for?"

Naturally, they meant Huang Wei.

Su Yuntao immediately said, "He's a child joining our Spirit Hall."

The two guards said nothing further upon hearing that.

After all, they understood.

They had only asked as part of the procedure.

Huang Wei followed Su Yuntao into the hall. The Front Desk Woman ahead stood up and smiled faintly. "Executive Su, you're back."

"Mm, Huihui, register him for me. This time, I awakened a real treasure!" Su Yuntao said excitedly.

He immediately took out a piece of parchment he had filled out in the carriage from his Soul Tool and handed it to the Front Desk Woman.

"Hello, big sister. My name is Huang Wei. My Martial Soul is Mysterious Tortoise, and I have Innate Full Soul Power." Huang Wei grinned.

Sure enough, the women in novels were beautiful and captivating, even insignificant passersby who were never mentioned.

There seemed to be no ugly women at all.

The woman Su Yuntao had called Huihui immediately revealed a sweet smile when she heard that. "Hello, little Huang Wei. I'm Huihui from the Registration Office of the Nuoding Spirit Hall Branch. You can just call me Sister Huihui."

"Mm-hm, hello, Sister Huihui." Huang Wei smiled obediently.

Huihui's smile deepened. "Such a good boy."

She lowered her head to look at the information Su Yuntao had handed her, and her expression immediately froze.

"What?! It really is Innate Full Soul Power?!"

Her eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Su Yuntao, then at the Youth before her.

She had thought the Youth was boasting and trying to fool her, but it turned out to be true.

Salas, Papal Palace

Huihui quickly completed the registration.

Then she went to find Ma Xiunuo, the Chief Executive of the branch.

Ma Xiunuo came out and took Huihui's form.

He was instantly shocked. "A Mysterious Tortoise with Innate Full Soul Power?!"

"Huang Family Village..."

"Wonderful! I never expected our branch to produce someone with Innate Full Soul Power."

Ma Xiunuo laughed heartily.

"Teacher, this is the Little Fellow." Su Yuntao brought Huang Wei forward and introduced him.

"Huang Wei, this is Ma Xiunuo, the Chief Executive of the branch," he then introduced Ma Xiunuo to him.

"Hello, Grandpa Ma," Huang Wei said politely.

"Hehe, hello, Xiao Wei." Ma Xiunuo stepped forward, reached out, and gently stroked Huang Wei's head.

Then he asked Su Yuntao, "Are you sure there's no mistake? This must be reported upward, and there can be no errors. A mistake would cause great trouble."

Su Yuntao said, "Let's test it with the Soul Testing Orb in the hall."

He believed his result was genuine and could not be wrong.

But he still felt somewhat uneasy.

"Alright." Ma Xiunuo nodded, then said to Huang Wei, "Xiao Wei, come with me."

Huang Wei followed Ma Xiunuo inside.

There was an even larger blue Soul Testing Orb within the hall.

"You only need to gently place your hand on it," Ma Xiunuo said.

Huang Wei walked over and pressed his hand against it.

The blue Soul Testing Orb lit up instantly.

Its glow was extremely brilliant.

Then LV10 appeared on the orb.

At this sight, Su Yuntao and Ma Xiunuo immediately let out sighs of relief.

"I told you, there was no way my Soul Testing Orb could have been wrong." Su Yuntao laughed openly.

Ma Xiunuo nodded. "To be safe, has the Little Fellow agreed to join our Spirit Hall?"

Su Yuntao nodded. "Yes."

Ma Xiunuo's smile grew even brighter. "This matter must be urgently reported upward. Xiao Wei, stay here for the next few days."

"Mm!"

Afterward, Su Yuntao arranged a room for Huang Wei within Spirit Hall.

Huang Wei looked over the room. It was spacious and luxurious, with a large bed.

Everything else he could need was there as well.

"You're now a Level 10 Soul Master. Once the people from above arrive, they'll help you hunt a suitable Soul Ring. Just wait here for the next few days. I'll be leaving first; there are still two villages waiting for me to awaken their Martial Souls," Su Yuntao said.

"Mm, I understand." Huang Wei nodded.

The door closed afterward, and Su Yuntao left.

Ma Xiunuo quickly ordered someone to send the intelligence to a higher-ranking hall.

Huang Wei drew back the curtains and looked at the scene outside.

The higher one was, the more one could see. He was currently on the third floor.

Lying on the bed, Huang Wei communicated with the system in his mind.

"System, what other functions do you have?" Huang Wei asked.

However, the system did not answer him.

It seemed this system was not fully intelligent. Perhaps it was only semi-intelligent.

It doesn't seem very smart...

Time passed quickly like this.

Night fell.

A knight clad entirely in golden armor walked toward the dining table ahead.

At the table sat a man drinking wine and eating meat.

"Bishop Salas!" The Golden Knight arrived before the table and respectfully saluted.

That was right. The man dining at the table was Salas, the Platinum Bishop of Spirit Hall.

He was also one of the trusted confidants beside Spirit Hall's Pope, Bibi Dong.

"Mm, what is it?" Salas's face was slightly flushed from drinking. He tore into a chicken leg, chewed, swallowed, and raised his head to look at the Golden Knight before him.

The Golden Knight took out a letter from his Soul Tool and respectfully said, "Lord Salas, this is urgent intelligence sent by Ma Xiunuo, the person in charge of the Nuoding City branch. There is an important matter to report."

"What? An important matter?" Salas took the envelope from the Golden Knight.

He opened it and scanned its contents.

"Mysterious Tortoise Martial Soul, Innate Full Soul Power!!"

His expression immediately changed. He stood up with a solemn look and exclaimed.

Soul Power surged through his body, swiftly dispelling the alcohol and drunkenness from within him.

The flush on his face vanished as well.

There was no longer any smell of alcohol on him.

It could not be helped. A mere Huang Family Village had produced a Mysterious Tortoise Soul Master with Innate Full Soul Power. This was a major matter.

He had to personally go to the Papal Palace in Spirit City and report it to Pope Bibi Dong.

Naturally, he could not go in such a state.

The Golden Knight was also greatly shocked.

He had not expected it to be Innate Full Soul Power.

"You are to keep your mouth shut about this matter," Salas warned the Golden Knight.

The Golden Knight nodded solemnly. "Rest assured, Lord Salas. I absolutely will not leak it!"

"Go back." Salas nodded in satisfaction and waved his hand.

He then immediately set off, hurrying toward the Papal Palace.

He was currently in Spirit City.

The Papal Palace was also very close.

He arrived at the Papal Palace before long.
