Soul Land—Chapter 17: The First Soul Skill, the Big Dipper Star Attracting Formation
Two-quarters of an hour later, Ling Qianyao opened his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed within them.
When the soul ring was officially incorporated into his martial soul, he felt that the seven acupoints on his spine suddenly connected into one, and an inexplicable rhythm flowed between them, transforming into a cohesive whole.
His soul power level had reached level 14. Under the Star Hiding skill, he concealed his soul power level at level 11.
After just half a year of study, Ling Qianyao had attracted the attention of many teachers and students.
If he didn't temporarily hide his soul power level, he suspected it would be more difficult to escape later. He planned to slowly remove the concealment of his soul power level after leaving the Star Luo Empire.
It's reasonable for a mutant martial soul to cultivate faster, right?
Running away with someone else's fiancée, the thoughts are clear, and it's reasonable to accelerate the cultivation speed, right?
The dark yellow soul ring lingered on the Star Breaking Sword, flashing a faint light.
"Success." Dean Su breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Ling Qianyao with anticipation. "Qianyao, what about the first soul skill?"
Ling Qianyao stood up, a slight smile on his lips, and nodded to Dean Su.
The Star Breaking Sword pointed to the sky. "First soul skill, the Big Dipper Star Attraction Formation!"
With the Star Breaking Sword as the center, seven star-marked sword qi cut through the sky, escaping into the heavens, transforming into stars and forming a massive Big Dipper formation diagram.
The sky was stained with starlight, and the seven stars made the place appear dreamlike.
The Big Dipper formation slowly rotated, and three rays of starlight projected from the stars, sinking into Dean Su's body.
"This!"
Dean Su's eyes widened in disbelief. "Strength, speed, and defense all increased by 10%?"
Ling Qianyao did not reply. At the moment the Big Dipper Seven Star Formation was activated, his seven abilities had already been enhanced. Although the blessing of the seven acupoints could not be stacked with the effects of soul skills, the advantage was that he did not need to expend additional soul power.
At the same time, he gazed at the Big Dipper Seven Stars formation in the sky, and the seven stars shone brightly. In the sword grid of the Star Breaking Sword, the seven stars seemed to resonate with it, radiating brilliance.
Since it involved seven stars, it naturally provided seven attribute enhancements: strength, defense, speed, mental power, soul power limit and recovery, elemental affinity, and control resistance.
Ling Qianyao held the Star Breaking Sword in his hand, stepped forward with the Dragon Step, rushed toward the dense forest in front, and the tip of the sword drew a series of beautiful arcs.
Seven sword qi with different lights shot out from his sword.
These seven sword qi were like seven agile dragons, instantly slashing through the obstacles in their path.
Whether it was tough grass or massive boulders, they all seemed vulnerable before these seven sword qi.
Trees were broken in half, and boulders collapsed and shattered.
"Damn!" Dean Su couldn't help but exclaim. "A range-type auxiliary ability, combined with inherent attack means—is this the first soul skill? Is this an auxiliary martial soul or a powerful weapon martial soul? Even the continent's first weapon soul, the Clear Sky Hammer, relies on its weight—the attack strength after adding the first soul ring is about the same, right? The key is that it also has auxiliary capabilities. This kind of team-oriented gain is undoubtedly the most valued soul skill in the Douluo Continent."
"You, kid…" Dean Su looked again at the star-shining Star Breaking Sword, glancing at the large knife martial soul in his hand, and felt uncomfortable regardless of how he viewed it.
"Dean, what do you think of my soul skill?" Ling Qianyao paused and turned to look at Dean Su, a slight smile on his lips.
Dean Su nodded, speechless. "Awesome! The strength of the seven sword energies is almost comparable to that of a grand soul master of the attack system. I'm afraid that most grand soul masters wouldn't stand a chance against you."
With an auxiliary system soul master, how can this be balanced?
You should know that the innate blessing of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is only 10%. Only after obtaining a soul ring can a new attribute increase be unlocked, raising the upper limit of all attributes by another 10%.
In Dean Su's eyes, Ling Qianyao had a 10% attribute gain in attack, defense, and speed from the get-go, and his attack capability was also overwhelmingly strong. Isn't this just pure cheating?
Who could defeat him in a one-on-one fight?
In a dilemma, Dean Su asked, "Qianyao, although it's not ideal to ask this, I still want to know—can the increase ratio of your auxiliary ability grow?"
Ling Qianyao shook his head. "No, it's fixed."
Hu——
Dean Su breathed a sigh of relief. If it could grow, the first auxiliary martial soul of the continent, the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, would be outclassed, as would the first weapon martial soul of the continent, the Clear Sky Hammer.
Ling Qianyao noticed Dean Su's reaction, his eyes shifting slightly, and he smiled.
Dean Su looked at the star array still shining in the sky. "How long can your soul skill enhance? How long can this star map last? Can it be activated by multiple people at the same time?"
"Half an hour. Based on my current soul power, the basic soul power consumption requires 10% of my soul power, while an ability enhancement requires an additional 10% of my soul power. It can be activated by multiple people."
Ling Qianyao replied, then retracted the first soul skill.
Dean Su stroked his beard and sighed, "Perfect soul skill! Qianyao, believe me, you could enter any high-level soul master academy on the mainland right now."
"The Soul Master Elite Competition."
"Dean, you're too kind. Those things are too early. Who knows what will happen in the future?" Ling Qianyao said with a smile.
Dean Su was taken aback for a moment, then joked, "I forgot that you have a close relationship with the Zhu family. It seems you have some plans?"
His expression suddenly turned serious. "However, Qianyao, I want to remind you—if you truly care for Zhu Zhuqing, you'd better do your best to become stronger. You must also participate in the Continental Soul Master Elite Competition. The higher the ranking, the better."
"Yeah." Ling Qianyao nodded.
After some idle talk, adhering to the principle of not wasting and the need to replenish physical strength, the two of them made a fire on the spot, plucked the fur of the starlight deer, and roasted it.
When the deer meat was dripping with oil, Dean Su's face suddenly changed.
He instantly moved closer to Ling Qianyao, frowned, and looked toward a dense area of trees. He whispered, "Someone is coming; be careful."
Ling Qianyao heard this; his face stern, and he immediately began to circulate his soul power throughout his body, ready to handle any emergencies.
"Astrology."
"No problem."
He felt relieved and focused intently on the dense forest that Dean Su had pointed out. He could vaguely hear the sound of footsteps and rustling leaves.
Several figures in ornate clothing slowly walked out of the dense forest. Their garments were adorned with gold and silver, and one of their sleeves bore a star-like mark.
They had noticed Ling Qianyao and Dean Su.
The pretty girl in the lead glanced at the fur of the Starlight Deer on the ground and nodded to a young man beside her. The young man immediately stepped forward and said loudly, "Don't be nervous, sirs. We have no ill intentions. We are also here to hunt soul beasts to obtain soul rings. Our target is the Starlight Deer on the ground. If you can provide some clues, we will reward you."
Dean Su nodded, but his eyes revealed a trace of vigilance as he pointed in a direction. "A group of Starlight Deer ran that way; you should be able to catch up."
"Thank you," the young man replied, tossing a package to Dean Su before returning to the girl. Several people nodded to Ling Qianyao and the others before departing.
Dean Su breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing them leave. Among the newcomers, the one at the end of the team had emitted indescribable pressure, and his strength was undoubtedly at Soul Saint or above.
He opened the package and exclaimed, "Wow—500 gold soul coins? Just for a message?"
