Domain Type Soul Skill

"Absorbed so quickly. As expected of a Mutated Martial Soul."

Lin Qiuyu watched Yang Dong with shining eyes. Normally, absorbing a Soul Ring took a long time, but she had never seen anyone like her son, who took only a single breath from manifesting his Martial Soul to attaching a Soul Ring.

It looked as though that Soul Ring could not wait to become the Soul Ring of this Mutated Martial Soul?

Lin Qiuyu secretly shook her head and dismissed the strange thought. That was impossible. When Soul Beasts died, they were filled with resentment. They could not possibly be eager to become someone else's Soul Ring.

Crack!

They could not discern the truth, but Yang Dong saw it clearly. The hundred-year Soul Ring had not been absorbed by his Martial Soul at all. The instant it wrapped around him, it was shattered by the black energy coiling around Ghost Hand.

It was simply so fast that it gave people the impression that it had been absorbed.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

The Ghost Hand Martial Soul on his left arm began trembling beyond Yang Dong's control. At a certain moment, the four panels that had vanished appeared before his eyes once more.

Two were gray, one still showed the same progress as before, and only the panel bearing the words Ghost God had a dot flashing continuously upon it.

In that instant, Yang Dong understood. He directly raised his left hand and gently tapped the constantly flashing point of light.

To those outside, Yang Dong merely raised his left hand, and a yellow Soul Ring appeared above his head.

The Soul Ring had been successfully attached!

Yet within his subconscious, when Yang Dong's left hand touched that point of light, it attached itself to Ghost Hand and, before Yang Dong's astonished gaze, turned into the shattered Soul Ring from before.

Was this a sleight of hand?

Yang Dong could not help thinking so.

This time, the four panels did not vanish as they had before, but this was not the place to investigate them.

Opening his eyes, Yang Dong carefully sensed the mysterious skill that had come from the panel.

"Dong'er, how is it? What is your First Soul Skill?"

Seeing that Yang Dong had finished absorbing it, Lin Qiuyu stepped forward and asked.

"Mother, I might not be able to become an Attack Type Soul Master."

Yang Dong went over the effects of his First Soul Skill. This skill could be said to have no offensive power at all. It was purely a support skill.

"It's alright. Your First Soul Skill came from a hundred-year Soul Ring, so it doesn't matter if it's a little weak."

"Come, let me see your First Soul Skill."

Lin Qiuyu comforted him. In her eyes, her son reaching the rank of Soul Master so quickly had already far exceeded her expectations.

Hearing this, Yang Dong took a deep breath. The Ghost Hand on his left arm had changed compared to before. The black mist surrounding his arm now contained a hint of purple, making it seem even more mysterious than before.

"First Soul Skill: Blade Soul."

The yellow Soul Ring floating above Yang Dong's head trembled lightly. Within two meters of Yang Dong, a phantom red magic circle appeared. Within this magic circle, Yang Dong could feel his strength and speed both increase twofold.

"This is... a Domain Skill?!"

Lin Qiuyu's eyes widened as she stared in disbelief at the phantom red magic circle before her. This scene was somewhat beyond her understanding.

Domain Type Soul Skills were extremely rare. Yang Dong's First Soul Skill was actually a Domain Type Soul Skill. How could she not be shocked?

Moreover, she could feel that this red magic circle also provided her with a slight enhancement. Although it was so weak as to be negligible, the gap between them was like heaven and earth.

She was a Soul Douluo!

"This must be kept secret!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Two yellow, two purple, and four black Soul Rings, eight in total, surrounded her body. Her Martial Soul, Li Yan, bloomed, and the temperature around them quietly rose. The pressure of a Soul Douluo directly enveloped the members of Spirit Hall's Enforcement Group.

"My lady, what do you mean by this?!"

Under that pressure, Yang Chengwen and the others involuntarily summoned their Martial Souls one after another. The atmosphere instantly fell into dead silence.

Lin Qiuyu ignored Yang Chengwen's question, pretending not to hear him and showing no intention of responding.

She knew that she had underestimated her son's Mutated Martial Soul. If Yang Dong's First Soul Skill had no major flaws, then none of these people from Spirit Hall could be allowed to leave alive today.

"Not bad, Dong'er. With this First Soul Skill, you can become quite a capable Support Type Soul Master."

Lin Qiuyu said with a smile, "How effective is Blade Soul's enhancement?"

"The enhancement directly increases strength and agility by ten points. As my Soul Power rises, these values will increase accordingly."

Hearing Yang Dong's words, Lin Qiuyu felt somewhat relieved. No wonder she had sensed such a minuscule enhancement just now.

"However, Blade Soul cannot be moved once it is deployed."

At these words, Lin Qiuyu's eyes flickered a few times. She quietly withdrew the Soul Rings she had displayed, then led Yang Dong outside, as if what she had revealed moments ago had been nothing but an illusion.

Naturally, Yang Chengwen and the others did not dare utter a word. They remained where they were and watched Lin Qiuyu leave, knowing that they had just walked along the gates of hell.

"Damn it, do the people of Wind Sword Sect really think so little of Spirit Hall?"

Yang Chengwen tilted his head to glance at the talkative man. He said nothing, but inwardly sentenced him to death.

Sometimes, ignorance was a sin.

He knew the other party's identity. Even if she truly killed every one of them here, Spirit Hall would not fall out with Wind Sword Sect at such a critical time. If they died, they would have died for nothing.

"No one is allowed to speak of what happened today. Otherwise, bear the consequences yourselves."

After tossing out those words, Yang Chengwen hurried away. What had happened today had to be reported as quickly as possible, especially the child, whose First Soul Skill was suspected to be a Domain Skill.

Elsewhere, Lin Qiuyu had already brought Yang Dong into a carriage, where they sat leisurely as it headed toward Nuoding City.

"Dong'er, do you know why I didn't act just now?"

Lin Qiuyu was extremely pleased with her son's diligence. Even while traveling, he still wanted to cultivate for a while. No wonder he had reached level ten so quickly.

"I don't know."

Yang Dong opened his eyes and shook his head.

He truly did not know. When he saw Lin Qiuyu summon her Soul Rings, he had genuinely thought she was going to attack those people from Spirit Hall.

"Because what you displayed still falls only within the realm of a genius. You understand what I mean now, don't you?"

There were many geniuses, and many of them died young or faded into mediocrity along the way. Therefore, geniuses were not rare, and there was naturally no need to keep them secret.

Yang Dong understood his mother's reasoning in an instant.

And he also realized that his mother was not as simple as she had appeared before.
