Douluo: Martial Soul Mysterious Tortoise, Counterattack Armor Critical Strike

The screen displayed the information on the tiger before him.

Soul Beast: Black Striped Tiger

Age: Two hundred years

Temperament: Bloodthirsty, fierce, brutal.

With the Host's current defensive power, he could easily withstand it and even kill the opponent through counterattack damage.

After seeing the system prompt, Huang Wei immediately relaxed and raised his middle finger at the Black Striped Tiger before him.

"Come on, you little trash. If you don't hit me, I'll look down on you." Huang Wei pursed his lips.

He also wanted to see his current counterattack damage and whether it would trigger a critical strike effect.

However, Bibi Dong, who was returning while carrying the Thorn Armored Earth Turtle, happened to witness this scene.

Seeing Huang Wei fearlessly confronting a two-hundred-year Black Striped Tiger piqued her interest, and she did not immediately return to his side.

Instead, she quietly watched from a tree not far away.

The Black Striped Tiger before him was only a little over two hundred years old.

Even Su Yuntao could not break Huang Wei's defense, so this Black Striped Tiger stood even less of a chance.

But the Black Striped Tiger did not know that. It seemed to understand Huang Wei's provocation, and with its bloodlust already stirred, it opened its maw and pounced at Huang Wei.

"Roar!!"

The Soul Beast skill activated directly: Black Striped Tiger Bite.

Bang!

However, in the next instant, the green tortoise shell covering Huang Wei blocked it.

He did not move at all. It could not shake him in the slightest.

Yet the Black Striped Tiger felt as though it had bitten an incomparably hard slab of steel. In the next moment, its whole body jolted, and intense pain shot through its teeth.

Its two fangs shattered instantly. A force rampaged through its body, blood burst from its flesh, and finally, its tiger body shook violently before exploding into a mist of blood.

A yellow ring of light slowly floated before Huang Wei.

This was a Soul Ring.

Watching from afar, Bibi Dong's pupils contracted and her eyelashes trembled. Even she was startled by what she saw.

Bibi Dong murmured, "This defensive power, and this counterattack ability... No wonder this Mysterious Tortoise possesses Innate Full Soul Power. I've truly found a treasure. If I raise him properly, just how terrifying will his defense become in the future?"

At that moment, a trace of resolve arose in her heart.

With a flicker, she appeared before Huang Wei.

"Oh, Teacher, you're back. You were so slow..."

Huang Wei sounded a little reproachful. If his defense had not been so absurdly strong, he would have been badly injured even if he did not die.

"It took some time. Did you kill this?" Bibi Dong smiled gently, then looked at the yellow Soul Ring nearby and knowingly asked.

"I didn't kill it." Huang Wei immediately shook his head. "It committed suicide. It somehow bit my tortoise shell and then exploded on the spot. Hehe, looks like my Martial Soul is pretty powerful."

As he spoke, he gave an embarrassed laugh and scratched his head.

"..."

Bibi Dong was somewhat speechless, but she still said, "This Soul Ring has gone to waste. But never mind. It insisted on courting death."

Then she tossed the unconscious Thorn Armored Earth Turtle onto the ground.

"Teacher, is this turtle going to be my First Soul Ring?" Huang Wei immediately asked.

Bibi Dong said, "Yes. This one is called a Thorn Armored Earth Turtle, and it is four hundred and fifty years old. The greatest limit for a human's First Soul Ring is four hundred and twenty-three years. This one exceeds it by twenty-seven years. Considering that your Mysterious Tortoise is extraordinary, perhaps you can break through this limit. Are you willing to take the risk and try?"

"If you aren't willing, I'll help you find another one."

Afraid that Huang Wei might feel burdened, she immediately added.

At that moment, information about the turtle before him appeared in Huang Wei's eyes again.

Soul Beast: Thorn Armored Earth Turtle

Age: Four hundred and fifty years (One Ring Soul Master)

Temperament: Resolute, tough, irritable.

The Host's Martial Soul is a Mysterious Tortoise and possesses a suppressive effect on Turtle Type creatures. Combined with his current formidable physical defense, he can easily absorb this creature as a Soul Ring.

Absorb?

Yes/No

After seeing the system prompt, Huang Wei immediately relaxed.

What made him curious was that there was an additional choice below compared to the Black Striped Tiger.

"Teacher, I'm willing to try. I believe I can succeed. I want to become a Soul Master unlike everyone else! I'll break the limit and become the first!"

Huang Wei's gaze was filled with determination.

"Good! As expected of my, Bibi Dong's, disciple. You haven't disappointed me. Come, stab it to death. A Soul Master must personally kill the Soul Beast in order to absorb its Soul Ring."

A trace of approval appeared in Bibi Dong's eyes.

She took out a knife from her Soul Tool and handed it to Huang Wei.

Huang Wei immediately used his thoughts to select "Yes" on the system screen.

In the next moment, another line of text appeared.

Please place your hand on the Thorn Armored Earth Turtle's head.

The Mysterious Tortoise will react. There is no need to kill it; it can become your First Soul Ring.

This ability is only effective on the turtle race.

Huang Wei was overjoyed when he saw this.

He immediately said, "Teacher, I feel that my Mysterious Tortoise Martial Soul doesn't seem to need to kill Turtle Type Soul Beasts. It can make them become my Soul Rings without any risk."

"What?!"

"How is that possible?!"

Bibi Dong's expression changed drastically at his words, her face filled with disbelief.

Those words were simply too absurd.

Could he be a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form?

She scrutinized Huang Wei carefully. He was clearly just an ordinary human.

"Then what do you intend to do?" Bibi Dong did not refuse. Instead, she asked.

Huang Wei said, "My Mysterious Tortoise told me that I only need to place my hand on this Thorn Armored Earth Turtle's head."

"Fine, then try it." Bibi Dong was curious too and wanted to see this absurd scene for herself.

Having received her approval, Huang Wei smiled and decisively pressed his hand onto the Thorn Armored Earth Turtle's head.

In the next instant, a strange scene unfolded.

The enormous Mysterious Tortoise behind Huang Wei let out a low roar. The Mysterious Patterns on its shell lit up and spread toward the Thorn Armored Earth Turtle.

In the next moment, the Thorn Armored Earth Turtle transformed into a ray of light and directly merged into Huang Wei's body.

Huang Wei felt something, immediately sat cross-legged, and began circulating his power according to that sensation.

"This... it really absorbed it?"

"How was this even done?"

"Could his Martial Soul be a god-tier Martial Soul?!"

Bibi Dong was utterly stunned. Her red lips parted, and her beautiful face was filled with confusion and disbelief.

In the next moment, the jeweled Scepter in her hand tapped the ground. A Soul Power field spread outward and enveloped the area.

Whether she believed it or not, the fact had already happened. She only needed to wait and see the final result.

At the same time, her heart was overflowing with fervent joy, her eyes fixed intently on the enormous Mysterious Tortoise on Huang Wei's body.

This Mysterious Tortoise Martial Soul hid many secrets, secrets that even Huang Wei himself did not know.

But what she did not know was that all of this was inseparable from Huang Wei's system.

Defensive Static Electric Blade

Within the Forest, protected by the Mysterious Tortoise, Huang Wei entered the state of absorbing the Thorn Armored Earth Turtle.

As time passed, he could feel a miraculous warm current continuously flowing through every part of his body.

Gradually, a yellow Soul Ring representing a hundred years appeared around his body, shining brightly.

Seeing this, Bibi Dong immediately breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, she was astonished by Huang Wei's absorption speed. Only half an hour had passed.

The moment Huang Wei opened his eyes,

the system's voice rang out in his mind.

"Congratulations to the Host for successfully becoming a One Ring Soul Master. The reward options are as follows:"

"First: Defensive Static Electric Blade."

"Second: Offensive Static Electric Blade."

"Third: Speed Static Electric Blade."

The sudden mission reward delighted Huang Wei. This was quite an unexpected surprise.

"I choose the first option!"

Without even thinking, he decisively chose the first one.

Defense was his main path. He did not care about speed or attack.

Afterward, he would just lie low in the Papal Palace until he rose to power. By then, he could guarantee that no one beneath a Deity would be able to break his defense.

Anyone who attacked him would be committing suicide.

He remembered that this Statikk Shiv had been an Electric Blade item in League of Legends in his previous life.

It was a piece of equipment that Wind Sword Hero always had to build.

Now that it had come here and even become a defensive version, he curiously opened its description.

"Defensive Static Electric Blade: Increases defense by forty. Grants a forty percent Counterattack Critical chance. Can reflect one person's attack back onto a group of people at a certain percentage, producing a chain Electric Shock effect. It can attack up to seven targets and has a brief paralysis effect. Passive: When enemies continuously attack you, your defense will temporarily increase above its original level. This effect can stack. Ignores level and defense, directly affecting the target's body inside and out."

"Friendly reminder: If the target of the counterattack damage exceeds the defense limit by too great a margin, the reflected damage will gradually decrease."

"Holy crap, this is insane. I didn't expect another Divine Artifact to drop just like that!"

"Awesome! If one person attacks me, the counterattack damage can hit seven people!"

"If a group of people attacks me... wouldn't they be killing each other?"

"Ha ha ha ha!!! Great system! Great system!"

Thinking of this, Huang Wei was already ecstatic.

His face was flushed red with excitement.

This Electric Blade had already been automatically fused by the system with his tortoise shell, becoming a passive ability. As long as Huang Wei activated his defense, it would automatically appear when he was attacked.

Although the friendly reminder appeared again, he understood it.

The same saying applied: if such a divine defensive piece of equipment had no limitations, it would truly be too terrifying.

In the next moment, he could no longer wait to take a look.

The familiar Character Interface appeared before his eyes:

Turtle Invincible System

Host: Huang Wei
