Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is Kunpeng

The saying goes, "The poor study literature, the rich study martial arts." If you want to master martial arts but can't even afford to eat, what's the point of practicing?

Simply absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to refine one's physical body could directly lead to depletion and death.

The fact that the mistress has practiced the Mysterious Heaven Skill for so many years without any problems is partly because the other party is still young and doesn't have such high demands for material things.

On the other hand, it's also because although the other party's family is poor, they are not so poor that they can't afford to eat.

It's just that Tang Hao spent most of the spare money he earned from blacksmithing on alcohol, leaving him with no savings.

But at least in terms of food, it's much better than Luo Hao, an orphan who relies on the charity of the village and eats at the homes of many.

Luo Hao's face turned green as he felt his stomach deflate again. He knew he had to eat something extra right away.

The essence of Kunpeng has been integrated into himself; although it is only a trace, it is still extraordinary.

It has already transformed into a seed and begun to take root and sprout. If it does not replenish its original essence now, not to mention its potential in the future, if it becomes like Master Luo Sanpao, who mutated from a dragon into a pig, it would be a laughing stock.

"No, I need to hurry and hunt down some things. Ideally, I should hunt down a hundred-year-old soul beast to replenish my strength."

Thinking of this, Luo Hao put on his patched coat and hurried outside.

The Nine Yang Divine Power flowed into his limbs, and although it had only been circulated for three cycles, a portion of it had already been transformed. Upon using it, he immediately felt the extraordinary nature of his soul power.

With a simple step, he traversed five or six meters, far exceeding what he would have done when he was an ordinary person.

Fortunately, as an orphan in the village, although his home wasn't as far away from people as Tang San's family, it was still considered remote.

The locals were all making a living in the fields, and hardly anyone on the road noticed what could be described as a shocking scene.

Luo Hao circulated his true energy to enhance himself and quickly ran towards the back mountain.

"Concept Craft Essence - Dragon Seed, Equipment"

Increases own attack power and comes with a slight dragon species concept.

"Magic Release A (Revised)"

The invisible soul power enveloped his entire body like a hard armor, greatly enhancing his offensive and defensive attributes.

Luo Hao has not yet fully mastered the Nine Yang Divine Skill. If he waits a few more days until he completely transforms his soul power into Nine Yang Divine Power, every strike he unleashes will carry the attribute of ultimate Yang.

It inflicts significant damage and suppression on ice-attribute or evil spirit masters; getting close can even result in burns from the armor.

Luo Hao rushed towards the back mountain without stopping. Although the spirit beasts near Holy Soul Village had been wiped out by the Spirit Hall, there were still some wild beasts in the deep mountains in the distance.

On the grass in the distance, a rabbit with slightly yellow fur was lying on its side, twitching occasionally.

The slender silver blade pierced through its fragile flesh and blood, sinking more than halfway into the earth, with blood seeping from the black hilt.

Luo Hao looked solemnly into the woods, completely ignoring the prey nailed to death by the black key.

"bring it on!"

Luo Hao quickly adjusted himself to his best condition, arming himself to the teeth.

Looking at the lone wolf in front of him, whose eyes were red, who was drooling, and who was glaring at him fiercely, he dared not be careless at all.

Because the other party is a soul beast.

Although it was only the weakest ten-year-old soul beast, it was still beyond the capabilities of many ordinary people.

Specks of white soul power floated in the air and resonated with the soul power emanating from his body.

"roar--"

A faint blue light flashed before his eyes, and a translucent wind blade was unleashed from the wolf's mouth, hurtling towards Luo Hao.

Every move he makes is a guaranteed kill.

Although Luo Hao is just a newcomer, it's clear that the opposing veteran, Lao Lang, isn't in good form.

The hair that had fallen out due to old age and decay, one eye with dark red bloodstains around its blind eye socket, and the wounds, both new and old, all over the body.

Clearly, this is a lone wolf that has been driven out of the pack, or even an old wolf king that has been defeated and driven out of the pack by the new wolf king.

Having been driven out of the pack and adrift in the wilderness, this old wolf was on its last legs.

Now it all comes down to this battle. If it wins, it might be able to rise from the ashes and advance further by devouring Luo Hao and that level 16 soul power.

Unfortunately, no if.

It was already a ten-year-old soul beast, and moreover, it was at its last gasp. How could it possibly withstand Luo Hao's level sixteen soul power?

The Nine Yang Divine Skill empowers the limbs, and although other soul power cannot be used as flexibly as when converted into the Nine Yang Divine Skill, it is not a problem to use it based on the principle of releasing magic power.

The invisible magic, through the techniques of releasing magic, enhances both offense and defense to the extreme.

After taking two steps back, the wind blades were already in front of him. Fortunately, Luo Hao had not intended to avoid the battle and had already prepared for it.

Inhale, throw a punch!

The fist, channeling all its power, collided head-on with the wind blade.

"Ping—"

Like the crisp sound of metal clashing, the light green wind blade was broken in half by Luo Hao's punch and then dissipated into the air.

Luo Hao's fist was completely undamaged, and the soul power armor formed by the released soul power was also without any wear and tear.

Luo Hao won this battle decisively.

Seeing that his all-out attack had rendered Luo Hao utterly ineffective, Old Wolf breathed a sigh of relief and died instantly.

Looking at the wolf Luo Hao lying slumped in front of him, he felt no emotion.

This is just a ten-year-old soul beast, a wild beast that has only lived for ten years.

Although he possessed soul power, he was ultimately still a nobody.

If he weren't so old and weak, his agility might have caused him some trouble.

However, that was the end of it. To be honest, even now, Luo Hao wouldn't take a ten-year-old soul beast seriously.

The changes brought about by the Kunpeng Origin were greater than expected. Luo Hao did not notice it immediately because the Nine Yang Internal Force was too powerful.

However, the enhancement brought by the Kunpeng's essence is now becoming more prominent as we walk through this primeval forest.

Sensing airflow and energy, and enhancing the arms and eyesight.

Having withstood a full-force attack from a ten-year-old soul beast without sustaining any damage, Luo Hao estimated that his physical attributes and combat power combined might have reached the level of a Soul Master.

It might not be able to contend with a Battle Soul Master like Dai Mobai, the Evil-Eyed White Tiger, who possesses a top-tier Beast Martial Soul, but it wouldn't be a problem against those Battle Soul Masters who rely on agility and attack.

For a Great Soul Master, it's like mowing grass – they can unleash their full power without hesitation.

Looking at his hands with satisfaction, Luo Hao was quite pleased.

He was already capable of fighting against a Soul Master even before absorbing a Soul Ring.

If one absorbs a good spirit ring, wouldn't they be able to disregard even Spirit Masters?

Lifting the dead wolf with one hand, Luo Hao walked directly towards the lake.

After glancing at the white spirit ring floating in the air, Luo Hao pulled it out with his hand, examined it for a moment, and then waved it away.

Soul rings are formed by the condensation of a soul beast's own soul, soul power, and blood. The condensation method that was drawn earlier clearly recorded the composition and condensation method of the soul rings.

So after observing it for a while and studying it, Luo Hao waved his hand and dispersed it into pure soul power, which he then absorbed.

Feeling the slight increase in his own soul power, Luo Hao gradually absorbed and summarized the information contained in the soul ring.

"Unfortunately, this method is too inhumane, resulting in excessive killing and heavy karmic consequences."

"It's not good for future growth, otherwise it would be a quick way to achieve results."

Upon arriving at the lake, Luo Hao extended one finger forward, and an invisible blade emerged from the fingertip.

This is the result of releasing magic power and absorbing the soul power of the hungry wolf, along with some wind-attribute manipulation.

Now, the two have combined into a sharp dagger, instantly dismembering the wolf pelt as easily as a hot knife through butter.
