Su Chen first checked his Sea of Consciousness. Found that there was not a single big bug inside, and only then did he feel somewhat relieved. He certainly did not like keeping a big bug in his mind, and even less showing his memories without reservation to a big bug. Especially since that big bug was also quite cheap, making it even more unlikable. Fortunately, the God of Destruction did not have such a morbid sense of humor either, directly making the consciousness of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm vanish into thin air. "That skin is somewhat useful, you can put it away." The God of Destruction was referring to the exuviae of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. Because it had endured a heavenly tribulation, the exuviae of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm were somewhat damaged and looked pitch-black, being casually put away by Su Chen. Immediately afterward, Su Chen began to explore his four first soul skills. His four first soul skills were respectively: Chaos, Stagnation, Devour, and Detonation. "They are indeed completely different from Huo Yuhao's four soul skills." Su Chen certainly did not want soul skills like Spiritual Detection and Spiritual Sharing either. Su Chen's four first soul skills could all be considered auxiliary-leaning skills. Su Chen's first of the four soul skills, "Chaos", was a mental-type skill. When enemies faced the attack of the Life-Killing Spear, their mental power would continuously suffer impacts, their reaction speed and thinking would gradually slow down, and they would even experience hallucinations or even syncope. The second of the four soul skills, "Stagnation", was an ice-attribute skill. Wielding the Life-Killing Spear would carry ice-attribute attacks, forming a cold-qi zone within a certain range to lower the enemy's speed, weaken the enemy's strength, and even directly freeze the enemy. The first two soul skills, one targeted the enemy's mind, and one targeted the enemy's body. Matching the two together, Su Chen could even imagine that opponents might experience situations like frame drops when engaging in battle with him, making every action stutter. As for the third and fourth skills, Devour and Detonation, they were not ordinary attributes. "Devour" allowed Su Chen during combat to use the Life-Killing Spear to absorb the energy released by the soul skills of both sides, and even directly forcibly draw a small amount of the opponent's soul power, storing it in the Life-Killing Spear. Su Chen suspected that this soul skill originated from the ability formed by the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm eating countless amounts of Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Marrow. Being able to accommodate so much energy to supply so many Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts to absorb for tens of thousands of years definitely counted as a powerful ability. As for "Detonation", it was used in conjunction with "Devour". "Detonation" could allow the energy stored in the Life-Killing Spear to be released all at once. The more energy stored, the stronger the power of "Detonation" exploding all at once would be. Su Chen did not find an upper limit to the coverage area or degree of impact for any of these four skills, or rather, their upper limit would continuously increase. The energy provided by the million-year Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was simply too vast, and as his strength grew, the power of his first soul ring would also gradually increase. Even if the soul rings Su Chen absorbed in the future were all ten-year ones, his Life-Killing Spear martial soul could still possess all hundred-thousand-year soul rings. The effects of a hundred-thousand-year soul ring went without saying. "It seems you are quite satisfied with your four first soul skills." "Satisfied, the little surprise you gave, Senior Destruction, is truly not small." Su Chen's four skills were actually not active skills per se, but with the Hundred Battles Spear Art at his disposal, Su Chen did not lack means of attack either. And these four soul skills could perfectly adapt to the Hundred Battles Spear Art, achieving an effect where one plus one was greater than two. As long as the numerical values were high enough, ordinary attacks could also deal tons of damage. Haven't you seen that rat detonating a ring, which was even more absurd than cheating, simply devoid of reason, smashing a Title Douluo with every single hammer. First being tormented by the massive energy of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, and then experimenting with the effects of the soul skills, Su Chen's stomach was actually growling with hunger. He simply found a wind-sheltered spot and started to make a fire and cook. Although Su Chen had money in his pockets, running around everywhere these past few months often meant encountering situations where there was no village ahead and no inn behind, requiring him to do things himself. Inside the Pendant Space, firewood, rice, oil, salt, pots, bowls, ladles, basins, and even tables, chairs, benches, and stools were all fully stocked. Anyway, the space was large, and it could all fit. Su Chen did not move everything out, after all, it was a picnic, not directly setting up camp here. While cooking, Su Chen asked: "Senior Destruction, do you have any arrangements for my subsequent cultivation?" "I do. You have already obtained your first soul ring, next we go to another place." "What place?" "Sunset Forest." "Sunset Forest?" Su Chen said in surprise. The God of Destruction assumed he did not know this place and explained: "That is another soul beast forest, but I am having you go there not to hunt soul beasts." "After all, residing in the God Realm, I cannot pay attention to you at all times, nor is it convenient for me to repeatedly make a move to help you. There is a soul master there whom I have chosen for you to protect your safety, and at the same time, there is another surprise waiting for you." Su Chen fell slightly silent for a moment. The God of Destruction had him come to the Star Dou Forest to acquire his first soul ring, and Su Chen had to guess what soul beast the God of Destruction had prepared for him. Having him go to the Sunset Forest meant the answer didn't even need to be guessed. What other surprise could the Sunset Forest possibly have? That would definitely be the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. As for the person the God of Destruction said he arranged to protect him, Su Chen knew with his heels that it should be that old poison, Dugu Bo. As a rogue cultivator, he was a rare soul master capable of cultivating to a Title Douluo. Alas, whether it was the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well or Dugu Bo, both were Tang San's fortuitous encounters, and he was going to snatch them away just like that? It really felt a bit embarrassing... Not! Could taking little Sanzi's fortuitous encounters be called snatching? That was called acting on behalf of the heavens and bringing joy to the people. Future soul masters of the Douluo Continent would all have to thank him; if the plane consciousness of the Douluo Continent could turn into a person, no matter what, it would have to kowtow to Su Chen. "Someone is coming." The God of Destruction issued a reminder. Mhm? Someone who could make the God of Destruction issue a reminder was definitely not an ordinary person, definitely a soul master, and moreover not a low-tier soul master either. Not long after the God of Destruction's reminder, Su Chen also sensed someone approaching. "To think that outside the Star Dou Forest, I could still smell the aroma of sea soul beast meat. Could you let an old man like me also taste the flavor?" After this person drew closer, he took the initiative to speak, revealing his whereabouts. However, his voice was somewhat strange. Su Chen was unable to even determine his age based on this person's voice, nor could he determine his gender. Taking another look at his appearance, it was even harder to distinguish between male and female, and it even exuded an alluring temperament. A name immediately surfaced in Su Chen's mind. Could this person be Chrysanthemum Douluo of Spirit Hall? "Senior Destruction, how strong is this person's strength?" When in doubt, ask Destruction first. On this point, the God of Destruction was actually just like Su Chen, except he would ask Su Chen when in doubt. "According to your Douluo Continent's strength classification, this person is a Title Douluo." "However, you don't need to be afraid either. If this person truly harbors malicious intentions toward you, even if I am once again discovered interfering in the affairs of the lower realm, I will still help you deal with him." The God of Destruction was still as reliable as ever, giving people a full sense of security. Really, Su Chen somewhat doubted whether the Goddess of Life had water in her brain. Not cherishing such a good husband, her elbows always turning toward God King Tang and helping others deal with her own husband, he truly had no idea what she was thinking. Knowing that this person was a Title Douluo, Su Chen basically ascertained his identity. Without a doubt, it was definitely Chrysanthemum Douluo! "If you don't mind, come over and eat together."
