Tentacled Monster Successfully Disguises Itself as a Snail
Niu Dingtian carefully counted the various abilities listed and discovered that the list contained hundreds of abilities, with some of the top-tier ones being truly terrifying. According to the general rules of the Heavenly Secrets Continent, only a Heavenly Grade Soul could provide four abilities. So what was his own Soul? A hundred times that of a Heavenly Grade Soul?
Thinking about the enormous body of the Soul, Niu Dingtian couldn't help but silently recite the name spoken by the previous Soul: the Bearer of the World, the False Defender, the Heaven-Supporting Snail.
However, Niu Dingtian soon realized that most life souls lack intelligence, while his own life soul not only possessed intelligence but also had so many abilities, which was definitely strange.
Therefore, a certain degree of disguise is necessary. Niu Dingtian quickly realized that being too outstanding would not work, as it would easily arouse Envy, but being too low-key would also not work. Not to mention a new life soul, even if he wanted to be low-key, he could not be too low-key. Just the fact that he had the resources of Ox Family Town to support the high-quality life soul was something he could not give up.
Niu Dingtian swallowed the bubbling green vegetable juice in one gulp, then covered his mouth to suppress the urge to vomit. He glanced at Niu Han, who was smugly gloating in the crowd, and realized the level he needed to fake.
The three types of Earth-grade life souls are the most suitable. With Niu Han by our side, it's still not bad, but at least it won't arouse excessive Envy. The problem now is to select three suitable abilities as the main abilities on the surface.
Niu Dingtian reviewed most of the abilities, and after much deliberation, selected three as his primary abilities to develop. Of course, in secret, Niu Dingtian would cultivate many more abilities.
The first ability is called Shadow Softbody Transformation. Its function is to change one's own properties to a certain extent. When necessary, one's body can be transformed into a soft form. What is particularly special is that it can also Integration into the shadows to a certain extent.
The reason for choosing this ability is that most snail souls possess similar abilities, such as various soft body modification abilities, like stickiness and acidity. In fact, this ability was modified by Lu Li based on the snails he had previously devoured, combined with the shadow.
The second ability is Shadow Armor, which absorbs shadow energy to generate a piece of armor. This armor can be continuously strengthened, which is similar to the strengthening of the Shadow Armor used by Li Mo.
The third ability is Shadow Space, which allows you to create a small space within your own shadow. This space can store most inanimate objects, and most importantly, the Shadow Armor can be integrated into this space, achieving a one-click outfit change.
In fact, Niu Dingtian preferred the latter ability: the False Shell. The name didn't sound very powerful, but after learning about its effects, Niu Dingtian was determined to learn it.
False Shell: A False Shell forms around oneself. This shell not only has extremely strong defensive capabilities, but also serves as a substitute for death. Moreover, this shell can form up to three layers.
Niu Dingtian also took a look and found that many abilities could be used in conjunction with that shell, but the False Shell required a lot of resources, and there were many things on it that he had never heard of before.
As for the other three abilities, the materials required are very simple. As long as he demonstrates the three abilities and exhibits the characteristics of a Grade 1 Soul, Ox Family Town will be willing to provide them for him.
After resting, Niu Dingtian left the rest area provided for awakened individuals and walked out of the square. As soon as he came out, his parents, family members, instructor Niu He, and Niu Han, who was both an enemy and a friend, also came over.
"So, what are the abilities you've obtained, and what quality is your life soul?" Instructor Niu He was the first to ask, and the people nearby also paid attention to this, expecting Niu Dingtian's answer.
"Three kinds, and they all feel pretty good." Niu Dingtian tried to be natural, but since they were all in the early stages of awakening, not many people noticed Niu Dingtian somewhat subtle expression.
"Oh, could you tell me about it? After all, it's a new kind of soul, and it will affect your benefits and treatment later." A voice interrupted, and the people surrounding Niu Dingtian immediately separated and greeted the newcomer in hushed tones.
The person who came was the elder of Ox Family Town who was presiding over this awakening ceremony. He was leaning on a cane, and although his hair was all white, he did not have many wrinkles on his face and looked very energetic.
"Tell me about it. I'm also very interested in the abilities you can acquire," the old man said kindly. He was old and didn't have many needs of his own anymore; his only concern was for his descendants.
Therefore, he took the initiative to preside over this awakening ceremony in order to discover one or two talents to protect future generations. Niu Han was very good before, with a superior earth-grade life soul. There were only a few like him in the entire Ox Family Town. However, Niu Han's family was already a wealthy family in the town. Even if he wanted to invest, he might not be able to achieve much.
If Niu Dingtian wasn't lying, then he might be a suitable candidate. The boy's parents were both present, and the elders could tell at a glance that his family situation was such that he could survive, but clearly didn't have the extra money to support him in acquiring more resources.
Niu Dingtian wasn't stupid. He had no prior interaction with the elder of the family, and the only thing that could attract the elder's attention now was his own potential. So he quickly told him about the three abilities he had chosen. Although the family would provide some, the elder seemed to want to invest in him, so he couldn't miss the opportunity.
After hearing about the three abilities Niu Dingtian described, the elder nodded. These three abilities were somewhat beyond his expectations; they weren't bad, but rather too good. They sounded Qianqiu to Niu Han's White Steel Snail, but Niu Dingtian's life soul was, after all, a newly emerged life soul, with both advantages and disadvantages.
New life souls have too little information to be targeted, so they often have unexpected effects. However, the disadvantage is also due to the lack of information. For example, Niu Han's White Steel Snail has appeared several times in the past, providing a lot of reference for how to develop one's own life soul. Niu Dingtian's new life soul, on the other hand, can only be explored slowly on his own.
"In that case, as long as you can establish the prototype of the three abilities, I will provide you with additional funding beyond the family's support resources to research your life soul. Have you decided how to name your life soul?" The elder nodded and said.
"Sky-Supporting Snail, I'm going to call Him Sky-Supporting Snail," Niu Dingtian said hastily, the image of Lu Li's declaration flashing through his mind. Although the elder felt that the name was a bit too much, he thought that this person was still called Niu Dingtian, it was just a name, so he let him go with it.
They simply didn't know what those three words would represent in the future.
