Douluo: I'll take the benefits, you bear the side effects

Chapter 17 Sword Light
I guess the old mouse's life has become more and more difficult these years, and he must be suffering to death.

In this regard, perhaps even Dugu Bo, who was poisoned by his own martial soul, could not compare to him.

"Soul power is at level thirteen, not bad."

Ning Chuan smiled and slowly opened his eyes. A fragrant breeze blew over him, and Louise came up to him with a look of excitement and anticipation. She hugged Ning Chuan's face and kissed him fiercely, leaving bright red lip marks on his face.

While kissing him, he exclaimed in admiration: "Xiaochuan, you are really amazing. You actually successfully absorbed this 600-year spirit ring. Show me your martial spirit now."

"This monster!" Ning Chuan spat inwardly, and slowly raised his right hand. A faint green light appeared on the surface of his skin, and a three-foot-long Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword emerged. A clear yellow halo rose from under his feet, which was the distinctive feature of a one-ring soul master.

Compared with before, the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword had not changed much, but the oppressive aura it brought was incomparable. Faintly, Louise felt that the oppression of the martial soul of the Dark Fragrance Sword brought by the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword seemed to be stronger.

Louise had seen Ningchuan's Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword spirit before, and after sensing the changes in its spirit, she couldn't wait to ask, "What spirit skill did you obtain?"

"First Soul Skill: Sword Light!"

Ning Zhuang turned around and came to an area several feet away from Louise. The first soul ring on his body lit up. Without using his martial soul, he raised his hand without any warning and sent out a green sword light about a foot long.

He just spun around and suddenly slashed across, cutting all the trees within a ten-foot radius in half.

"Can you use soul skills without a martial soul?"

For a six-hundred-year-old soul skill, this power was quite average. After all, according to her understanding, the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword was an extremely powerful mutated martial soul. Its own attack power was there, but she was surprised that it could use soul skills without a martial soul.

"Well, my first soul skill can be used in two situations: one is when I don't use my martial soul, and the other is when I use my martial soul. When I don't use my martial soul, the power is relatively average, but it can be used instantly. The other is when I use my martial soul, like this."

The first soul ring lit up again, Ning Chuan held the sword with both hands and swung it fiercely forward.

The sword light was dazzling, turning into a giant green lightsaber, slashing forward.

A shallow trench was instantly cut into the ground, about five or six meters long and one foot deep.

At the end, a piece of granite half a person's height split in the middle and then exploded with a loud bang.

"Ah, this." Louise was shocked and pale.

If Ning Chuan's first soul skill was just average for a six hundred year old soul skill, its advantage was that it was instantly released.

Then this move is a bit against the will of heaven.

Ning Chuan's first soul skill seems to be stronger than her second soul skill.

Although she was a quick attack type, her attack power was not outstanding compared to other soul masters of the same level, and her second soul ring was only five hundred years old, she was still a level thirty-eight soul master. (P.S.: During this year, her soul power also increased by one level.)
Logically speaking, even if Ning Chuan's first spirit ring reached 600 years old, it shouldn't be the case. The only problem could only be with his martial spirit.

This shows that the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword possessed by Ning Chuan is an extremely powerful mutated martial spirit, perhaps not weaker than the Seven Killing Sword of the Sword Douluo of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

Putting away his martial soul, Ning Chuan said, "Teacher, this is my first soul skill, Sword Light. When using my martial soul, my attack range increases by 50% and my soul power doubles. And the attack range increases as my cultivation level increases."

Louise nodded first, then smiled bitterly. "It's a very powerful spirit skill. It has both offensive and amplifying abilities. I don't have anything else to teach you now. The only thing I can do is accompany you in actual combat training and hunting spirit rings."

Ning Chuan said firmly: "Teacher, no matter what, you will always be my teacher."

At the beginning, Ning Chuan may have had the intention of taking advantage of the other party, but no one is heartless. He has seen how good Louise has been to him over the past school year, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he treats her like his own daughter.

Although Ning Chuan wasn't a good person, he certainly wasn't ungrateful or the kind of person who would resort to the even more annoying tactics of returning favors after receiving them.

Louise smiled with relief and asked casually, "How much soul power do you have now?"

"Level 13." Ning Chuan replied.

"Not bad. Compared to the two innate full soul power masters in our academy, you are only three soul power levels behind. At your cultivation speed, I believe you will catch up with them in a few years, or even surpass them."

Louise was very confident in Ning Chuan. As far as she knew, during the academy's annual spirit power test a few days ago, Xiao Wu and Tang San's spirit power had only just broken through level sixteen.

Next, the two chatted for a while, ate some dry food and water on the spot, and then headed back.

The next morning, the two finally returned to Nottingham.

"After obtaining a spirit ring, a spirit master can go to the Spirit Hall every month to register as a spirit master and receive a spirit master subsidy. You will go there directly in a while. Don't reveal the age of your spirit rings. It's not good for you and will make you easy to be targeted. In addition, starting tomorrow, it is the annual vacation of the academy. The vacation is three months. If you miss home, you can go back. However, I still suggest that you come back early. I plan to use this time to bring you back to the family and let the elders of my clan teach you. You have a strong learning ability. Don't waste this time. And don't look at my spirit power. My father is a real Soul Douluo master."

Louise plans to devote all her energy to training Ningchuan.

Ning Chuan nodded. "I do plan to go back. I'll be back in three days." He planned to give some gold soul coins to Old Tom and repay the villagers who had helped him. It wouldn't cost much anyway.

Ning Chuan also knew a bit about Louise's family. With a Soul Douluo at the helm, they were one of the rare, hidden families on the Douluo Continent. Their ancestors had once been glorious, having produced a Titled Douluo.

As for why Louise came to Notting City to be the Dean of Studies, it was not because of any melodramatic incident, but purely because, relatively speaking, her talent was not very good. She was nearly thirty years old and had not yet broken through to the Soul Sect. If nothing unexpected happened in her life, her Soul Emperor career would basically end.

Not wanting to get married hastily, she simply ran away on her own and became the Dean of Studies at Notting College.

Ning Chuan felt like he'd made a killing. Long-established, hidden families like these usually inherited techniques like the Clear Sky Sect's Clear Sky Hammer Nine Absolutes and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's Distraction Control Technique. It was just a matter of mastering them. If he could learn some powerful sword techniques, it would be a huge win.
