The skill stones could be held in one hand, covered in blue-gold veins.
Just looking at them, they were exquisite.
As Zhuge Lan infused the corresponding soul skills into them, the blue-gold veins gradually lit up, until fully illuminated—then the skill replication was complete.
Returning to the Ice Dragon Armor Beast's back, he let it take flight toward Tiandou City.
He casually tossed two skill stones to Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong.
"Crush them."
The two girls trusted him and crushed them with their bare hands—they had already absorbed ten-thousand-year soul rings, no longer fragile girls.
"Crack—"
"Crack—"
Feeling the new soul skills enter their bodies, they couldn't help but widen their eyes!
[Emotion Points +66666][Emotion Points +66666]
This…
Ning Rongrong's body twisted slightly, disappearing, replaced by Zhuge Lan himself.
This was the innate ability of the ten-thousand-year soul beast, the Serpent Soaring Tree—Light Refraction!
It could bend light around the user, creating mirage-like illusions.
Used to confuse enemies.
But the drawback was clear: the user could not move.
Otherwise…
The "Zhuge Lan" appeared like a ghost, legs not lifting, moving a few steps sideways.
Flickering several times.
Ning Rongrong tiptoed into view again.
She looked at Zhuge Lan, sticking out her tongue.
It seemed… not very practical.
"Not how you're supposed to use it,"
Zhuge Lan said with a smile:
"Just refract the surrounding air, and you're effectively invisible."
"Then project the image of you releasing your Martial Soul a little farther away. To anyone unaware, it could even be used as invincibility."
Ning Rongrong suddenly understood.
Activating the soul skill again, her figure gradually disappeared.
"Buzz—"
The Nine-Treasure Glazed Tower appeared ten meters away, but a beam of light shot from Ning Rongrong's vanished position, landing on Zhu Zhuqing.
A few seconds later…
The light flew from two meters away, landing on Xiao Wu.
A few more seconds…
The light shot from ten meters away from the Nine-Treasure Glazed Tower, landing on Meng Yiran.
A few more seconds…
The Nine-Treasure Glazed Tower flashed above, below, and behind her.
Anyone unaware would think it was some teleportation soul skill.
Ning Rongrong reappeared, proudly lifting her chin.
"Very simple."
Zhuge Lan patted her little head, pleased with how quickly she grasped it.
But…
Their interaction left everyone utterly confused!
"Wait!" Frand asked in confusion, "No Martial Soul, soul rings, or soul bones—how did Rongrong do that? Some kind of martial skill?"
Martial skill?
Something that can be learned?
Everyone's eyes turned to Zhuge Lan.
"What are you thinking? Martial skills aren't mastered that fast,"
Zhuge Lan said bluntly:
"That's the Serpent Soaring Tree's innate ability—Light Refraction. I infused it into specially made skill stones; whoever crushes one can master it."
[Emotion Points +11111][Emotion Points +11111]
What the heck?
No Martial Soul or soul rings needed, and you can still master a soul skill?
Judging by the previous situation…
Zhuge Lan used the soul bone technique to make the soul beast 'produce' the skill, then separated and transferred it to others?
This…
Top apprentice Ma Hongjun slid on the Ice Dragon Armor's crystal scales, hugging Zhuge Lan's thigh.
Zhuge Lan stepped on his face and kicked him away disdainfully.
"Making these soul skill stones is troublesome. I only brought a few. Don't expect more ordinarily."
"When there's a suitable soul skill for someone, I'll see if I'll give it."
—Whether suitable or not, it's still his decision.
But to Ma Hongjun, this was an opportunity!
Wiping the shoe print off his face, he smiled innocently.
With the small crimson heart on his head, he looked simply "honest and silly."
As his master, Frand silently distanced himself.—This silly kid wasn't even his apprentice!
"Zhuqing, what skill stone did you get?" Ning Rongrong asked curiously.
Everyone quickly looked over.
Zhu Zhuqing said nothing.
Her Steam Maiden form expelled thick white smoke, and as the Ice Dragon Armor Beast flew, it trailed a long tail of mist.
Those shrouded within experienced true darkness, where they could not see a hand in front of them.
"Fog Veil?" Du Gu Bo said in surprise, "Innate ability of the mist-summoning soul beast. One of the hardest soul beasts to kill in the Sunset Forest."
Zhuge Lan nodded in satisfaction.
Fog Veil was arguably the most valuable of all the soul skills.
It allowed Zhu Zhuqing to ignore terrain, freely create vision advantages, and swiftly slay enemies—an assassin's ultimate skill.
Frand looked on enviously.
If he had had this soul skill back then, he wouldn't dare imagine how easy life would have been.
The others were equally envious.
They all again thought—why am I not a beautiful girl!
[Emotion Points +55555][Emotion Points +15155][Emotion Points +44444]
Because the soul beasts in Sunset Forest had already been harvested once, the emotion points gained this time were slightly less—less than twenty million.
Compared to last time, it was like breaking bones.
But Zhuge Lan didn't care.
Seeing the remaining 2.4 mini targets, he boldly bought upgrades!
First, reinforcing the basics.
The Soul Bone of Reversal of Cause & Effect for the trunk—stacked to 100,000 years!
No noticeable change?
Then 500,000 years!
Now the Soul Bone Skill Reversal Domain evolved from single-target to area effect, capable of reversing cause and effect in a range.
The target's level increased to 98.
Cost: 4.9 million emotion points.
The Soul Bone of Buddha Ascension for the Right Arm of Hell Without End—reinforced from 100,000 years to 500,000 years.
The red light from the blade extended, allowing anyone or any weapon caught to have the effect of the vibrating blade.
Its level cap also increased to 98.
Cost: 4 million emotion points.
The Sacred Left Arm Soul Bone of Star's Arrival—reinforced from 200,000 years to 500,000 years.
Soul Bone Skill Blessing of Holy Light evolved again, from a column to Holy Light Rain, covering a huge area.
Its level could be freely adjusted; could release Holy Light, Holy Light Column, or Holy Light Rain.
Cost: 3 million emotion points.
The Soul Rings of Martial Soul Thorn Armor: Hatred Curse, Light Revenge, Frenzied Taunt!
The Soul Rings of Martial Soul Li Jing Long Sword: Sword Hardening, Sword Fever, Sword Paralysis!
All reinforced to 100,000 years.
Cost: 3 million emotion points.
Most soul skills' effects didn't change much—just stronger and longer-lasting.
But the first soul skill Hatred Curse, though it didn't add new negative statuses,
Combined with the fourth soul skill Speak, Skill Follows, it produced a fused soul skill effect—
Negative Status Combo Pack!
He set up a "combo pack," allowing him to apply multiple negative statuses with a single thought.
Effectively, a "one-button combo."
For example, the Stone Combo.
Once set, just saying "Stone Combo" applied 19 stone-based negative statuses!
—Even if the opponent merely touched him lightly.
—Or he could actively bump into them to trigger it.
This effect was awesome!
Zhuge Lan, not worrying about cost, spent all his effort setting it up.
Dizzy + nosebleed = continuous control!
Cough + diarrhea + hemorrhoids = uncontrollable!
Menstrual pain + appendicitis + kidney stones = Pain Mask!
Menstruation + platelet deficiency = hemorrhage!(Fans with creative combos can leave suggestions!)
Extra update delayed—today my toenail got ripped, writing efficiency was super slowo(╥﹏╥)o
