Chapter 86: Xie Yue's Third Soul Skill, Void Realm Warp!
After Bibi Dong released Qian Renxue and Hu Bai, she didn't immediately absorb the Hundred-thousand-Year soul ring and Soul Bone. Instead, she looked at Xie Yue. As Xie Yue's teacher, she naturally wanted to ask him about the gains from his third soul ring first.
Facing Bibi Dong's inquiry, Xie Yue smiled slightly: "Teacher, my gains this time are quite good. My soul power has already increased to rank thirty-four, and I've also obtained a very excellent spatial Soul Skill called Void Realm Warp.
After casting it, I can teleport to any position within a hundred meters, and upon appearing, I inflict spatial cutting damage along the straight path between the two points. Also, with my current cultivation, I can store three teleportation uses, and these three teleportations only require a minimal amount of my own soul power to activate!"
Upon hearing this, even Hu Bai was slightly stunned. What a good Soul Skill!
This Soul Skill is different from Xiao Wu's teleportation; it causes damage. Although it only causes spatial cutting damage to people along a straight path, if used well, it can have unexpected effects!
Moreover, he can even store three uses!
These three teleportation opportunities are a huge help to Xie Yue. With his current Soul Elder-level soul power, being able to cast it five times would already be very impressive!
Although Void Realm Warp doesn't consume as much soul power as an amplification Soul Skill, don't forget—this is a seven-thousand-year soul ring. The higher the soul ring's age, the more soul power the Soul Master needs!
Furthermore, Hu Bai also noticed something and asked, "Big Brother, you said you can only store three uses currently. Does that mean the number of stored uses will increase as your cultivation improves?"
Xie Yue nodded: "Yes!"
Bibi Dong also nodded in satisfaction. If it weren't for this storage feature, she would have considered the Soul Skill produced by this seven-thousand-year soul ring to be somewhat ordinary. But with this characteristic, this soul ring can be regarded as a growth-type soul ring!
Perhaps when Xie Yue's cultivation reaches the Titled Douluo level, the upper limit of stored uses will be ten or even dozens!
And as Xie Yue's use of spatial force and cultivation improves, the range of teleportation will no longer be limited to just a hundred meters!
As for the spatial cutting damage, it's quite suitable for battles between armies or even in small Soul Master team competitions. If used well, it can be completely unexpected.
However, there's still one point...
"Xie Yue, can you control the spatial cutting damage freely?" Bibi Dong asked.
Xie Yue said, "Teacher, I'll try."
He was very intelligent and naturally understood what Bibi Dong meant by that.
Subsequently, the thousand-year soul ring beneath him slowly rose, and silver-white spatial fluctuations flowed around Xie Yue's body. He instantly appeared a hundred meters ahead, and no spatial cutting appeared behind him.
However, just five seconds later, a narrow crack suddenly appeared behind Xie Yue, where there had been no fluctuations, and its suction was extraordinary!
The stones on the ground trembled slightly, flew straight into it, and were pulverized!
This scene surprised everyone.
Xie Yue explained: "Just as the Teacher said, I can freely control whether this spatial cutting appears, or even delay its appearance, but the maximum delay time is five seconds. If it exceeds five seconds, then this spatial rift will become ineffective."
The power of the spatial cutting just displayed, although only at the level of a high-tier Soul Elder, is still formidable. If it were a Soul Ancestor and they weren't careful, they might lose an arm—and if they were unlucky, their entire head might be severed!
However, although the spatial cutting's power is great, any Soul Master with quick reactions actually has a good chance of dodging it, given the few seconds of reaction time from when the spatial rift opens to when it cuts the opponent.
Bibi Dong: "Hmm, the quality of the spatial Soul Beast hunted this time indeed seems good. After we return from the Star Dou Great Forest, you and Hu Bai should go to the academy. With your current cultivation, you can challenge those purple record badge candidates first."
Hu Liena hesitated and said, "Teacher, isn't Second Brother only a Soul Grandmaster? Are you planning to make him fight those high-tier Soul Elders or even Soul Ancestors?"
Hu Liena didn't know about Tianmeng Iceworm's sacrifice to Hu Bai.
With Hu Bai's current physique, his third soul ring is very likely to withstand a ten-thousand-year soul ring!
Under normal circumstances, absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul ring might be difficult. After all, the Soul Beasts Hu Bai needs are all powerful bloodline existences. Given his physique and mental power barely reaching ten thousand years, it would probably be quite challenging.
But now that the Tianmeng Iceworm is actively sacrificing itself, he no longer has this concern.
Although Hu Bai's soul power is currently only level twenty-five—still quite a way from level thirty—there's a special situation that allows him to obtain a third soul ring early: sacrifice.
As long as the third soul ring Hu Bai obtains provides a soul power increase of more than five levels, that's enough!
While Hu Bai was thinking this, he suddenly realized there seemed to be a slight conflict in the settings here.
In Douluo Dalu 1, if a hundred-thousand-year soul beast actively sacrificed itself, it could completely disregard the Soul Master's physique. The Soul Master would gain all the benefits of the hundred-thousand-year soul ring, and the soul skills provided by the hundred-thousand-year ring would consume less soul power. Tang San is a typical example.
But by Douluo Dalu 2, when Tianmeng Iceworm's soul ring acted on Huo Yuhao, it required dozens of seals to be set, and the power of the soul ring had to increase with Huo Yuhao's cultivation.
Perhaps this is because Tianmeng Iceworm is a wisdom soul ring and did not completely sacrifice its own soul?
The reason Tang San could withstand the hundred-thousand-year soul ring provided by Xiao Wu was that Xiao Wu sacrificed not only her physical body but also her soul, allowing Tang San to fully bear it.
Subsequently, Hu Bai also shook his head; this had little to do with him.
He was a member of Spirit Hall, and his entire life was destined to oppose the Soul Beasts. Even for a Soul Beast like Tianmeng Iceworm, who offered himself up, he kept a wary eye; otherwise, he wouldn't have thought to ask Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong for help.
He had promised Tianmeng Iceworm that if there was a chance in the future, he would definitely take him to eternal life. This was his promise, and he would not break his word. But how to take Tianmeng to the God Realm was his own business.
He remembered that when Daming and Erming sacrificed themselves to Tang San, their souls resided in the soul ring and Soul Bone. They were resurrected after Tang San became a god, and the same could be done for Tianmeng.
After all, he had told Tianmeng from the beginning that he didn't like having someone in his Spiritual Sea. The opposite gender was fine, but Tianmeng was male—absolutely not.
Even though Tianmeng offered many benefits, he still felt a bit uncomfortable.
