Douluo Continent: The Holy Evil Emperor

Is it an offensive soul skill, a defensive soul skill, or a supportive healing ability?

"My dear grandson, what is your soul skill?"

Ye Qing glanced down at his own spirit rings, then raised his hand and threw a beam of light at Ye Feng.

Immediately afterwards, an oval-shaped golden bubble enveloped Ye Feng. Of course, this was not a bubble, but a soul power shield.

"Holy Radiance Protection, a defensive soul skill, can consume soul power to form a shield that can block an attack no more than three times the strength of the shield," Ye Qing said.

"How's your soul power consumption?" Ye Feng asked again.

"Look at the amount of soul power I output. The most basic shield doesn't even require one percent of my soul power, and a full-power output can drain my soul power." This demonstrates the advantage of the Douluo Continent Martial Soul System. As long as you acquire a soul ring, the skills within the soul ring can become the instinct of a soul master, just like innate talent abilities.

Ye Qing naturally understood all the functions of this soul skill after obtaining the soul ring.

The Soul Skill "Holy Radiance Blessing" is naturally not as simple as Ye Qing described.

His description of Ye Feng was indeed correct. If it were released against someone else, it could only form a defensive shield that was no more than three times the amount of soul power he had used.

However, if it is released at himself, it will not be three times the soul power, but will consume a fixed one-tenth of the soul power, which can block an attack that is no more than three levels higher than him.

In other words, with his current Soul Master level 13 cultivation, consuming one-tenth of his power to activate Holy Radiance Protection would allow him to block a Soul Venerable's full-force attack. Furthermore, if the attack's intensity doesn't reach the shield's limit, the shield won't be broken directly; instead, it will be consumed, still maintaining its defense against Ye Qing.

The defense modes are completely different for others and for oneself.

Because this soul skill has another name besides Holy Radiance.

It is called—Guardian of the Evil God.

It was precisely because its effect on itself was so overwhelming that it didn't seem like a soul skill that a soul beast like the Light Unicorn could produce that Ye Qing didn't mention its effect on himself, but only its effect on others.

That's already abnormal enough.

One of your shields requires others to expend three times the soul power to break it. If someone of the same level spends half the soul power to create a shield, others will work themselves to death and still not be able to break it.

On the contrary, he was able to unleash his full power and slaughter everyone.

Of course, this soul skill also has a drawback, which is that it is vulnerable to being surrounded.

If you use all your soul power to create shields, and you don't have any extra soul power to fight, then once the attackers break the shields, you'll basically be waiting to die.

However, it can also be a life-saving trump card in critical moments.

"Very good!" Ye Qing was right. The effect of the shield on others alone was already very satisfactory to Ye Feng.

"A divine skill in one-on-one combat!"

This is Ye Feng's evaluation of this soul skill.

"Now that you have successfully absorbed its spirit ring, this thing should naturally be yours to absorb as well!" After saying that, Ye Feng took out another item and handed it to Ye Qing.

Chapter 18 Wings of Light

"This is……?"

Ye Qing's eyes widened slightly as she looked at what Ye Feng was holding.

It was a pair of small wings, looking like the wings of a swan, but instead of the texture of feathers, the wings were as lustrous as works of art carved from white jade.

"Soul bone?!"

"Yes, this is a soul bone, and it's a rare external soul bone at that." Ye Feng's tone was also somewhat wistful.

"You must have read the records about soul bones. A soul master can normally absorb a total of six soul bones, namely the head, torso, and limbs. Soul bones are like soul rings; once absorbed, they cannot be changed. However, external soul bones are an exception. They are not counted among the six soul bones, and after being absorbed, they can grow along with the soul master."

Ye Qing took the pair of small wings, her expression slightly stunned.

Of course he knew what an external soul bone was.

If the 70,000-year-old Light-Slaying Demon Right Arm Bone that Moon gave him was already a top-tier soul bone, then the value of this wing-attached soul bone is even greater than that Light-Slaying Demon Bone.

Even though it is only seven hundred years old now.

If even a seven-hundred-year-old soul beast can drop an external soul bone, could I really be the protagonist?

Normally, a 700-year-old soul beast would rarely drop an external soul bone, let alone a normal one. This luck seems unreal.

Seeing that Ye Qing remained silent, Ye Feng explained, "As the first tier below top-tier soul beasts, I'm not surprised that the Light Unicorn can produce a soul bone even though it only has a lifespan of seven hundred years. The probability of powerful soul beasts producing soul bones is higher than that of ordinary soul beasts."

"This strength can refer to the age of the soul beast or the strength of its bloodline. The Light Unicorn is the latter."

"But it's quite surprising that it can produce these external soul bones."

Speaking of the function of this soul bone, we must mention the characteristics of the Light Unicorn race. As we all know, in addition to the distinctive single horn on their heads, wings are also a standard feature of unicorns.

Therefore, unicorns also have another name, which is 'Pegasus'.

Their power is contained in their horns, but the medium through which they control the element of light is not the horn on their heads, but the wings on their backs.

Every Light Unicorn is born with a pair of wings of light, even newborn Light Unicorns. These wings of light greatly enhance their affinity for the light attribute and improve their ability to control the light element.

Their wings of light can also grow. Every unicorn of light has the opportunity to evolve its two wings into four wings when it grows to the ten-thousand-year level. Only unicorns of light with four wings have the potential to grow to the hundred-thousand-year level.

A four-winged unicorn of light, after growing to 100,000 years old, also has the opportunity to evolve its four wings into six wings.

The limit for a four-winged luminous unicorn is 100,000 years of cultivation, while the potential of a six-winged luminous unicorn can reach the level of a ferocious beast. Beyond that, it depends on their individual opportunities and fortune.

Legend has it that the chieftain of the Light Unicorn Clan was a Light Unicorn that evolved to six wings, whose light attribute had reached almost the extreme.

After listening to Ye Feng's description of the Bright Unicorn's wings, Ye Qing suddenly became even more interested in it.

If it can evolve into a six-winged form after growing to the level of 100,000 years, wouldn't it become an eight-winged artifact if it were to evolve into a divine artifact in the future? Or even a ten-winged or twelve-winged artifact if it were to become a super divine artifact?

Good grief, I have more wings than you?

However, if it were true that the more wings one has, the stronger the affinity and amplification of the light attribute, then wouldn't I no longer need to add a light attribute soul ring? With these Wings of Light, plus that Light-Breaking Magic Ring...

It will grow steadily to the point of extreme light in the future!

"Absorb it quickly. Soul rings and soul bones produced by the same soul beast can only exert their greatest effect when absorbed by the same soul master." Ye Feng patted Ye Qing on the shoulder.

"I understand." Ye Qing nodded, holding the pair of small wings and pressing them against her chest.

Absorbing a soul bone is much easier than absorbing a soul ring. Every soul master will instinctively crave a soul bone and will involuntarily have a strong desire to integrate it into themselves.

After Ye Qing used his soul power to communicate with the pair of Wings of Light, they naturally transformed into a beam of light and merged into his body.

If one could see through things, one could clearly see that the Wings of Light that had merged into Ye Qing's body had transformed into feather-like patterns and were imprinted on one of his pairs of ribs.

Compared to the pressure and swelling pain when absorbing the soul ring, Ye Qing only felt warmth and comfort when absorbing the Wings of Light, even more comfortable than when he cultivated inside the Golden Tree.

He was enveloped in a dense aura of light.

This feeling is even more comfortable than staying in bed in winter.

This is the ultimate manifestation of a soul bone being perfectly matched. If the soul bone is not well matched, the absorption process will only be painful. However, if the soul bone is well matched and has a high degree of compatibility with the soul master, it will only make the soul master feel comfortable.

In less than half an hour, Ye Qing had completely absorbed the pair of Wings of Light external soul bones into his body, achieving a perfect fusion.

Unlike when Tang San absorbed the Eight Spider Lances, there was no process that required a lot of time to completely integrate them.

Having just absorbed them, Ye Qing had already perfectly mastered the pair of Wings of Light.

"Ah, that feels so good..." Ye Qing stretched after waking up and couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation.

With the soul bone fully absorbed, Ye Qing's first soul hunting journey came to an end. At Ye Feng's extremely fast speed, the grandfather and grandson quickly left the Star Dou Great Forest and headed towards Shrek Academy.

During his journey, Ye Qing tested his soul power once again.

The external soul bones of the Wings of Light did not bring him much improvement in soul power. After all, external soul bones need to absorb the soul power of the soul master to grow. The soul power he grows is not enough, so how can there be too much soul power to feed back to Ye Qing?

Although the Wings of Light did not bring him soul power, the baptism of light elements when he fused with the Wings of Light did digest all the accumulated power in his body, allowing him to break through to level fourteen.

That saved him about a month's time.

Bei Bei awakened her martial soul three months earlier than him, but her current soul power level is only level thirteen. Ye Qing awakened his martial soul three months later, but his soul power level is one level higher than Bei Bei's.

It is true that they came from behind and surpassed each other.

Chapter 19 So, I'm actually a support type.

After returning to Shrek Academy, Ye Feng gave Ye Qing another week to relax.

For the first three months, they trained non-stop. After only one day of rest, they went to hunt for souls in the Star Dou Great Forest. Due to the difficulty in finding light attribute soul beasts, the grandfather and grandson stayed in the Star Dou Great Forest for more than half a month.

Not to mention Ye Qing, even Ye Feng, the old man, was finding it hard to stand.

Ye Feng: I've worked hard for most of my life and finally reached the Title Douluo level. Can't I enjoy myself a bit? Keep the music playing and keep dancing!

Ye Qing, on the other hand, continued his lazy, fish-fishing life.

During the day, he would fish while bathed in the light of the golden tree, enjoying the experience while simultaneously enhancing his control over his soul power. At night, he would cultivate in the Sea God Pavilion.

To be honest, the Soul Masters in Douluo Continent have really crude control over their Soul Power. Once they can no longer use Soul Skills, they are practically useless.

This era is alright; even if you can't use soul skills, you can still use things like soul tools. But ten thousand years ago, that would have been truly abstract. In the City of Slaughter, Tang San, a Soul King, could kill Soul Douluos and Title Douluos in the Hell Slaughter Arena like chickens.

Soul power, as the most fundamental power within a soul master's body, is it really such an inconvenient thing?

Can it only be used to unleash soul skills?

That's far too abstract and one-sided.

Although Ye Qing doesn't have any plans to create his own soul skills yet, practicing more control over soul power is naturally beneficial.
