Douluo: The First Empire

Chapter 4: The Second Awakening of the Martial Spirit



The midday sun cannot penetrate the blockage of the ancient trees in the Star Forest, and only sporadic light spots shine through the gaps in the leaves.

A huge peacock lay lazily on the ground, enjoying the warmth of the sun while turning the pages of a human book with his soul power.

Lu Yu was currently sitting cross-legged on the back of the Peacock King, stabilizing his soul power.

Maurya comes with some intimate inquiries:

"Have you thought about what soul beast will be attached to the second soul ring?"

Over the past year, Lu Yu told the Peacock King various stories, including Conferring Gods, Journey to the West, and fairy tales, and finally gained the Peacock King's favorability.He was appreciated by the Maurya King and got the right to practice on his back.

The Peacock King especially likes stories related to the canonization of gods, or he has a strong sense of immersion in the stories of phoenix and peacock, so Lu Yu also made some small changes to the story of canonizing the gods.

For example, Kong Xuan married Sanxiao, the ancestral phoenix violently beat the ancestral dragon, Jinpeng defeated the invincible opponent in the world, and so on.Even the Mauryan King wanted to change his name to Kong Xuan.

"My second soul ring is going to be equipped with soul skills that include dizziness, control, and hallucination."

"Oh, there are not many soul beasts with such soul skills. It is even harder to find one that matches the age. Why don't you consider the speed increase and force attack soul skills?"

However, Lu Yu made up his mind and said firmly:

"My first soul skill is very powerful, there is no need to sacrifice the near and seek the far away."

"I plan to use the first soul skill as the core to enhance the power, quantity, speed and hit rate of peacock feathers."

"As for the follow-up blow, use long-range soul bone skills to take away the enemy without getting close." Lu Yu waved his fist excitedly.

"That's a good idea, so what kind of soul beast do you plan to choose? Don't wait too long on the second soul ring."

Kong Xuan gave Lu Yu advice from the perspective of a senior. Although he was not a human soul master, he had seen too many Lu family monks and naturally had a unique understanding.

"No, I want to add a plant soul beast as my second soul skill. The stronger the hallucination, the better." Lu Yu's eyes were shining brightly.

"Are animal martial souls attached to plant martial souls? No human soul master has ever done such a thing before." Kong Xuan also became serious and warned Mengxin.

Lu Yu laughed easily and said boldly:

"Why should people today be inferior to those in the past? Soul masters can also develop. The continent has not had a god for ten thousand years. Whether it is a soul beast or a soul master, I think this is a change."

"And this method has been tested. A Blue Silver Grass soul master successfully attached a mandala snake soul ring."

"Not only did no problems occur, but the martial soul underwent a benign mutation. The blue silver grass became tougher and had poisonous properties."

Kong Xuan knew that he could not dissuade him, so he had no choice but to agree:

"Okay, since you have the confidence, I will take you to give it a try, and then I will get some spring water back, lest you little guy lose your life."

During this year, Kong Xuan often used the soul guide to retrieve some water of life.

Since the water of life dissipates too quickly after leaving the lake of life, Lu Xu, who is in seclusion, has few opportunities to drink it.

As for the other tribesmen, they can beat the monkey and the snake and drink the water of life at will. Unless one of the tribesmen is seriously injured, Kong Xuan will not easily get water.

As the leader of the 10-year-old soul beast clan, he knew very well about the greed of living beings. Lu Yu also gave him a little help because he was too weak and liked him.

"There are not many hallucinogenic soul beasts in the forest, but there are really too many hallucinogenic plants, but the strongest among them is the psychedelic mushroom that once caused a beast tide."

"Psychedelic mushrooms do not have the bright appearance of other poisonous mushrooms, and there will be no serious consequences if used in small amounts."

"But if a large amount of spores are inhaled or eaten, the soul beast will become extremely manic and aggressive, and will never recover."

"It was because of the continuous rain for several months, and then the strong winds after it cleared up, that half of the Star Forest became restless."

"The peripheral soul beasts were directly driven out of the forest by the stronger soul beasts. In the end, all the 10-year-old soul beasts took action together to kill the violent soul beasts, and this most serious beast tide was stopped."

Lu Yu asked with some worry: "Does such a dangerous thing still exist?"

"I don't know if there are other places, but those monkeys must have hidden some secretly." Kong Xuan took Lu Yu gliding in the forest, not worried about returning empty-handed.

"Why do monkeys keep these things? Aren't they afraid of losing control?"

"Of course they are afraid of losing control. Every year, they kill monkeys who are out of control, but they can no longer lose them."

"In addition to this dangerous psychedelic mushroom, they have cultivated at least five hallucinogenic plants. You can pick them at will."

Lu Yu was a little silent.

Kong Xuan flew very fast, exuding the coercion of a 10-year-old soul beast. No soul beast without eyes dared to show its head, unlike when they came in, they carefully avoided all kinds of soul beasts.

Not to mention the territory of this monkey is comparable to that of the peacock, the territory of the wild boar next door is better than theirs.

They knocked down large tracts of trees to cultivate psychedelic mushrooms, and other open spaces were dotted with half-dead strange plants.

There were unconscious monkeys lying or hanging on the ground and on tree trunks. A thin green-feathered eagle clumsily swooped down from the sky and snatched away a monkey that was still unconscious, intending to comfort its stomach after it had been hungry for several days. .

Kong Xuan exuded 10 years of coercion to protect Lu Yu, used his soul power to fight off several monkeys who were awakened with red eyes, and used his soul power to suppress a monkey with a haggard face and dry black hair lying in front of him. .

“Where are the psychedelic mushrooms that are over 900 years old?”

Hearing Kong Xuan mention the psychedelic mushrooms, his cloudy eyes became gleaming, and he quickly led the boss to a rotten tree.

"Dear Lord Peacock King, these are 900-year-old psychedelic mushrooms. In a hundred years they will all be given to Lord Wolf King. Now they are all offered to you." The monkey bowed respectfully and did not dare to raise its head.

"No need, I'll just take one."

Kong Xuan looked at Lu Yu and motioned for him to choose.

Lu Yu used his soul power to slightly filter his mouth and nose, took out the dagger from the soul guide, and took a large mouthful of water of life.

The psychedelic mushroom seemed to be aware of the danger. It shook its body and tried to throw out some spores.

Lu Yu spotted one, quickly swung his dagger to chop it off, and grabbed a handful of psychedelic mushrooms that quickly moved away from the others.

The little psychedelic mushroom in his hand was not dead yet, Lu Yu made another stab, and the bright yellow soul ring with a hint of purple began to condense.

"It's at least a 980-year-old soul ring. If you can't absorb it, stop immediately. If there is water of life, just change it." Kong Xuan reminded from the side.

"My goal is to become a god. How can I not overcome this small difficulty?"

Lu Yu smiled extremely confidently and took a deep breath.

Already prepared to endure the severe pain, he mobilized his soul power and began to touch the condensed psychedelic mushroom soul ring.

This time the soul ring was quickly pulled over, and the huge power began to squeeze into Lu Yu's body.

The energy seemed to be broadened every time it passed through the meridians. Although it was still very painful, it was much better than the first soul ring.

At this moment, the colorful light group with the outline of a peacock began to expand as it greedily absorbed energy.

He began to outline every feather, especially the eyes that were arrogant and contemptuous of all living things, as if the martial spirit had come to life.

Lu Yu didn't feel well at this time. Initially, there was only a slight swelling and pain after absorbing the soul ring, but when the martial soul began to outline and extend, it seemed as if every stroke was engraved in his flesh and blood.

Especially when he started to outline the tail feathers, the complex and graceful tail feathers made Lu Yu despair for the first time.

If the pain of absorbing the first soul ring is ten levels, then every stroke drawn now has ten levels of pain.

When Lu Yu was about to pass out and relax, Kong Xuan opened his soul guide and drew out the water of life. He drank a mouthful of water of life. Well, he couldn't pass out at all.

All Lu Yu felt was endless pain, but because of the nourishment of the water of life, his senses were particularly sharp, and his face was almost twisted into a mask of pain.

But Kong Xuan had already been attracted by the peacock that was being sketched out in strokes behind Lu Yu.

In fact, this is just the second awakening of their normal martial soul, or in other words, it is now the complete martial soul.

The 10-year-old soul beast is so overbearing. Even the 10-year-old soul beast that has transformed into a human being has [-]% awakened Peacock Martial Spirit from generation to generation, starting from the ancestors.

Not to mention the Tiandou royal family's swan martial spirit, even if the Lu family and other martial spirit families later gave birth to children, they would all be peacock martial spirits, including the upper three sects.

And if such a domineering martial soul wants to avoid harming future generations, it must not be a perfect body at the beginning. It will have to be cultivated to the third ring and start its second awakening.

Only then did the Lu family's terrifying talents begin to show.

The training speed is extremely fast, and the martial spirit is very comprehensive, taking into account the strong attack of the beast martial spirit, the control of the weapon martial spirit, and also has the rare ability to fly.

But Lu Yu started to awaken as soon as he obtained the second soul ring, and this kind of momentum was unheard of.

Even Kong Xuan was envious of those gorgeous and complex tail feathers.

It can only be said that it is lucky that Lu Yu is a human, otherwise the most beautiful man of the Peacock tribe would have a different owner.

The power of this martial soul awakening is greater than imagined.

The 30-meter-high peacock shadow is slowly taking shape, and its momentum is spreading out unscrupulously.

Kong Xuan had no choice but to completely disperse the power of his 10-year-old soul beast and drive the soul beast away.

Unexpectedly, the two forces merged with each other, and the coverage area suddenly expanded.

With rumble and rumble, a huge King Kong ran in the forest. Birds and beasts fled in all directions along the way. If not careful, they would be trampled into pulp.

When the huge peacock silhouette appeared, although it was too far away to see it, its terrifying power still shocked Da Ming and Er Ming, who were the kings of the forest.

Especially the human aura mixed in it made them furious.

When did little humans dare to poop on the head of the forest king? (Bibi Dong silently gave a like)

When Er Ming saw the phantom clearly, Kong Xuan had already stopped Er Ming.

"Titan Ape King, my people in front are awakening their martial souls. Don't go any further."

"Your tribe, that human? When will you protect them again?" The Titan ape snorted.

Kong Xuan ignored the Titan Ape's taunt and started talking about irrelevant things.

"No human being has ascended to the divine realm for ten thousand years, but we spirit beasts have not ascended to the divine realm for hundreds of thousands of years."

"You who help the one guarding the Lake of Life should know more than I do."

After listening to Kong Xuan's words, the furious forest lord finally calmed down.

"Then you plan to place your hopes on your descendants, humans?" The Titan Ape's words were a little low.

"Thousands of years ago, one of my younger brothers resolutely chose to become a human being, and he also cultivated to level 99 Ultimate Douluo. Even I am no match for him."

"He traveled across the entire continent, and finally returned to his clan when he was still in his prime, like a twilight old man."

"After sealing himself in a cave for 33 days, he only wrote the character "human" with his own blood, and then he died."

The more Kong Xuan talked, the more excited he became, and in the end he almost screamed with sobs.

"Since then, I have allowed my brother's bloodline to come here to practice and take refuge. I have even allowed some soul beasts whose death is approaching to be sacrificed to them. I have collected a lot of soul bones for them to use."

"But there are very few people who can even reach level 99 Ultimate Douluo, let alone ascend to the God Realm."

"So you think this human boy is very promising?" The Titan Ape sat down quietly.

"His talent is not the best, but his purpose is the clearest and most ambitious. He doesn't know this, but his goal is still to become a god. Since he has this ambition, am I still afraid of this time after fighting for thousands of years? .”

"So how much are you going to pay this time?"

"I plan to become his sacrificial soul ring!"

"Are you not crazy? Is this the way you think? If he fails, you will have nothing." The Titan ape smashed the ground angrily and roared in disbelief.

"In the year I spent with him, I learned a saying: If you hear the truth in the morning, you will die in the evening."

"However, I won't offer sacrifices so hastily. At least I have to observe it for more than ten years. At least I have to be able to withstand my soul ring."

"After I leave, my tribe will have to trouble you to appease them." After Kong Xuan finished speaking, he also breathed out a sigh of relief.

"Don't even think about it. If you die, no one will take care of your tribe." Er Ming depressedly pulled at the 'small trees'.

"Why haven't you seen Xiao Wu recently? Has he entered human society?"

Kong Xuan quickly put his sadness behind him and started gossiping.

Erming becomes even more depressed when he mentions this.

"He left three days ago. He said he was too slow to practice with us. He wanted to go to the human world and get in touch with more humans. If you want humans, I could help him catch a few." Er Ming pursed his lips as he spoke.

"Then why not let Lu Yu take care of Xiao Wu? Their family also has some status in human society. At least they won't let Xiao Wu suffer, and they can bring Xiao Wu back to see you."

Kong Xuan hinted wildly from the side.

"No, I can't believe he can resist the temptation of a 10-year-old soul ring." Er Ming refused firmly.

"Hey, this is not easy. Just train him for a while. I don't believe he still has the courage."

The malice in Kong Xuan's words made Lu Yu, who was awakening his martial spirit, shudder.

"His soul power improves very quickly. He is born with full soul power. After absorbing the first soul ring, he will have thirteen levels of soul power. Now he has improved to seven levels of soul power after ten months of practice."

"This is before awakening. After awakening, I'm afraid that his soul power will increase too quickly, so I would like to ask you two to help him strengthen his body."

"What's the point? Xiao Wu is not born with full soul power." Er Ming said angrily: "I will discuss it with Daming when I get back."

When Kong Xuan heard this, he knew he was safe, and discussing with Daming was basically equivalent to Daming making up his mind.

Daming must know the importance of having people helping in human society. Daming, like Kong Xuan, knows a lot about human society, and then let their brothers establish a prestige for the Lu family.

After Lu Xu was promoted, he immediately found an unlucky soul beast, arranged a soul ring for him, and stuffed the soul bones with him. With such a powerful titled Douluo escorting him, Xiao Wu and Lu Yu were no longer in danger.

Lu Yu and Lu Xu, who were still cultivating, had no idea of ​​the suffering life that was about to come.

At this time, the peacock behind Lu Yu was about to draw the last stroke, and the previous pain began to gradually get better. When the last stroke was completed, the peacock behind him became brighter and brighter.

Slowly shrinking, and finally submerged into Lu Yu's body.Lu Yu opened his eyes and saw a titan ape that was as big as a mountain. This body was much more powerful than the one in the anime.

Lu Yu felt that in his eyes, he was just a bigger bug, and the pressure of his size was the most intuitive.

"How did you absorb the second soul ring? What is the soul skill?"

"The second soul skill is called Psychedelic Brilliance, and it can be used directly." The Peacock Martial Spirit, which was only half the height of Lu Yu, appeared behind him.

The yellow and yellow soul rings were beating, and the second soul ring was glowing. The peacock behind him spread out his tail feathers, which were more gorgeous than the Maurya King. Strange brilliance shone on the tail feathers.

In the eyes of the Titan Ape, Lu Yu seemed to have turned into a lively and cute little dancing girl, and the Titan Ape couldn't help but want to reach out and pick Lu Yu up on his shoulder.

Kong Xuan felt that his soul had been sublimated, as if he had been in the world of gods that he had dreamed of. The air here was so fresh and sweet, and even the big guys around him became cute.Um?

Both soul beasts experienced what they most wanted and longed for, and Lu Yu was now hiding under Kong Xuan's wings. It turned out that Er Ming was not honest in daydreaming.

A pair of giant palms waved around, and Lu Yu could only take refuge next to Kong Xuan.

After waking up, Kong Xuan and Er Ming looked at each other and firmed up their thoughts.

"You can also make the brilliance adhere to the peacock feathers." Lu Yu's first and second soul skills shined together, and three peacock feathers with dangerous brilliance appeared behind him.

Kong Xuan didn't dare to let him use it on him now, so he used his soul power to catch a monkey immersed in illusion.

The peacock feather behind Lu Yu shot at the monkey at an extremely fast speed. Er Ming and Kong Xuan were also secretly shocked. This speed was probably comparable to a 3000-year-old speed soul beast.

The monkey who was hit by the peacock feather turned over and even slept more soundly.

Lu Yu said it was time for me to show off, snapping his fingers and shouting: "How many floors does a meter have to resist?"

The peacock feathers that entered the monkey's body were summoned and began to run out with the monkey's soul power. The monkey, who was sleeping soundly, also jumped up with a strange scream.

I no longer feel any beautiful illusions, only boundless pain. The more I think about it, the more painful it becomes.

The Titan ape activated gravity and imprisoned the monkey in place. The monkey could only roll in pain when Peacock Ling flew back behind Lu Yu with the monkey's soul power.

The monkey lay on the ground and shed tears of regret. Why should I eat mushrooms? Why should I be immersed in the illusion? I want to change myself, change the group, and stay away from this devil-like place.

"Using it in combination with Peacock Ling will amplify the pain of Peacock Ling, causing the enemy to roll on the ground in pain." Lu Yu was very proud of his ability.

Er Ming and Kong Xuan just wanted to train him well. I was so sad for such an abnormal ability.
