Who could have imagined that happiness would come so suddenly.
The two people before her were willing to make enemies of the entire world for her sake. They would protect her forever.
Xiao Wu's eyes welled with tears. Ever since her mother left, Da Ming and Er Ming had been her only family.
She had never imagined that she would gain another brother and sister.
"If anyone dares to bully you from now on, tell me. Your brother will teach them a lesson."
Lu Chen wiped away Xiao Wu's tears, but she lowered her head shyly.
"Mm, thank you. Thank you for being so good to me, Brother Chen, Sister Na'er."
"Alright, show me your soul ring. Let your brother give you something powerful."
This time, Xiao Wu no longer hesitated. Her Soft Bone Rabbit martial soul emerged soundlessly, along with a yellow hundred-year soul ring.
"Xiao Wu, what are all your soul skills?"
Although Xiao Wu currently had only one soul ring, all her future soul skills had actually long been set in stone. They were all abilities she had possessed when she was a soul beast.
"First Soul Skill, Waist Bow. Second Soul Skill, Charm. Third Soul Skill, Teleportation. Fourth Soul Skill, Invincible Golden Body. Fifth Soul Skill, Soft Bone Lock. Sixth Soul Skill, Voidness and my innate soul skill, Explosive Eight-Stage Drop. Seventh Soul Skill, Soft Bone Rabbit Clone. Eighth Soul Skill, Golden Silk Demonic Net. Ninth Soul Skill, Moonlight Sky-Shattering Kill and Heaven-Defying Soft Bone."
Xiao Wu recited all of her soul skills in one breath. These were all abilities she had possessed as a soul beast.
Lu Chen listened carefully. In truth, he already knew all of Xiao Wu's skills, but he felt that none of these soul skills were particularly strong. He planned to modify every last one of them.
But what should he change them into?
Lu Chen pondered for a moment. He had previously modified Gou Sheng's martial soul and soul skills, so he had experience in this area. Modifying Xiao Wu's soul skills was not difficult—the difficult part was deciding what to change them into.
"I've got it."
Lu Chen made his decision. He had suddenly thought of a very interesting idea.
"Xiao Wu, I'm going to modify all your soul skills."
Xiao Wu was somewhat confused. She could not understand what Lu Chen was saying. Modify soul skills? Could soul skills even be modified?
"I'm going to turn all your soul skills into Nen Emperor's skills."
Nen Emperor, a popular DNF character, commonly known as the Light Soldier.
Her skills were flashy and devastatingly powerful.
Nen Qi Clone, Thousand Lotus Bloom, Thunderclap Palm, Energy Accumulation Nen Qi Cannon, Nian Emperor Profound Sky Break, Nen Seal Illusion Flow Break, Nen Qi Shield, Nen Beast: Thunder Dragon Emerging from Sea—these skills were far stronger than Xiao Wu's original soul skills.
"Nen Emperor?"
"That's right. I'll demonstrate them for you. There isn't enough room here, so I'll take you somewhere else."
Lu Chen took hold of Gu Yuena and Xiao Wu's hands and teleported to an extremely remote place.
He summoned the Infinite Gems. Drawing upon his memories of Nen Emperor's skills, Lu Chen used the Reality Gem to manifest all of those skills upon himself.
"Watch carefully. These are Nen Emperor's skills."
Lu Chen first cast Blade of Light upon himself.
"This skill is called Blade of Light. It enhances your attack power through a special circulation method for the soul power in your body."
Then came Blazing Sun Aura, Soul Power Surrounding, and Soul Beast: Dragon Tiger Roar.
"These skills are all actually achieved through special applications of the soul power within the body."
Lu Chen walked up to a massive boulder and threw a punch. A phantom tiger head formed from condensed soul power appeared around his fist.
With that punch, the boulder before him exploded, shattering into countless fragments.
"So powerful!"
Xiao Wu exclaimed in amazement. A casual punch alone had such power, and the soul power orbs condensed around Lu Chen also seemed to possess considerable might, making enemies wary of approaching him.
"Those are just minor skills. Next, I'll show you something even stronger."
A massive sphere of light suddenly enveloped the surroundings. This was Nen Emperor's Nen Qi Shield. Since Lu Chen had released it using soul power, it could also be called a Soul Power Shield.
"This skill is actually very similar to your Invincible Golden Body. Within the range of this Soul Power Shield, teammates you acknowledge will not be injured no matter what damage they suffer. Enemies, on the other hand, will take continuous damage from the Soul Power Shield. The strength of that damage depends on how much soul power you put into it."
"Next is the Concentrated Soul Power Cannon."
Lu Chen assumed the stance of a Kamehameha, continuously gathering and compressing immense soul power in his hands. As he thrust his hands forward, a thick pillar of light as massive as a heavenly pillar burst forth with a terrifying momentum capable of destroying everything and slaying gods in its path.
The ground and trees along its path were all reduced to dust, carving out a long trench stretching several thousand meters.
The Concentrated Soul Power Cannon continued forward and struck the mountainside in the distance.
Rumble!
A deafening boom rang out.
The mountainside was hit by the Concentrated Soul Power Cannon, and from the middle of the mountain upward, half of the entire mountain vanished.
After finishing all this, Lu Chen clapped his hands and looked at his handiwork in satisfaction. The power of the Concentrated Soul Power Cannon could be adjusted according to the amount of soul power he output.
Lu Chen had already controlled the power before him quite well. Otherwise, it would not have been just half a mountain; even the entire mountain range behind it would have disappeared.
At that moment, Xiao Wu, watching Lu Chen display such overwhelming power, was too stunned to speak. Her eyes were as wide as bells, and her rosy lips were wide enough to fit an egg.
Seeing Xiao Wu's dumbstruck expression, Lu Chen could not help but laugh. Even someone with Xiao Wu's unyielding personality had no choice but to be convinced.
"Nen Emperor has many more powerful skills, and her Third Awakening ultimate can destroy heaven and earth. So, do you want them?"
"Huh? Ah?"
Xiao Wu snapped back to her senses as if waking from a dream. She blankly glanced at the flattened mountain, then looked at Lu Chen. "Can it really be done? Can soul skills be changed too?"
"Heh, just watch."
Lu Chen offered no explanation. He placed his hand on Xiao Wu's forehead as the Soul Gem and Reality Gem radiated intense light.
The modification began.
With his previous experience modifying Gou Sheng, this modification proceeded much faster.
He erased Xiao Wu's existing First Soul Skill, Waist Bow, along with all her latent soul skills, then replaced them with Nen Emperor's skills.
Nen Emperor had many skills. Even without counting passive skills, she had over twenty active skills. Nine soul rings alone were simply not enough.
"If I assign two or three skills to each soul ring, that should be about enough. As for passive skills like buffs, they can be achieved through special circulation methods for soul power."
With that thought, Lu Chen urged the Soul Gem and Reality Gem to speed up the process.
A moment later, the modification was complete.
Lu Chen woke Xiao Wu, who had fallen unconscious.
"Eh? Did I fall asleep just now?" Xiao Wu rubbed her eyes. She immediately felt exceptionally refreshed, as though her entire being had been elevated.
"The operation was a success. Now, take a look at your First Soul Skill." Lu Chen smiled at Xiao Wu.
After Lu Chen's modification, Xiao Wu's first soul ring had become a purple thousand-year soul ring. He had originally wanted to use the Soul Gem to directly raise it to a hundred-thousand-year ring, but on second thought, he felt that would be inappropriate.
Once Lu Chen no longer bothered to hide himself and revealed everything to the entire Douluo Continent, he would raise all of Xiao Wu's soul rings to golden million-year soul rings.
