A small mountain village in the northern border of the Tianhun Empire.
Xu Xiaoyun, who was running at a very fast speed, made a buffer and slowly landed on the ground with the Xuanwu Shield. He looked back with emotion.
For some reason, he felt a little flustered at this moment. This was an instinctive premonition that his strength was close to that of an Extreme Douluo.
"We only captured a thousand-year-old soul beast this time. It shouldn't attract the attention of the Ice and Snow Emperors, right?" Xu Xiaoyun gently blew away the hot air and wiped the hot sweat from his head.
"Ahem... Master, I feel a little dizzy..."
Xu Tianxi's dizzy voice came from behind the Xuanwu Shield. He had just come down from the Xuanwu and was experiencing some altitude sickness. He felt dizzy and couldn't stand steadily.
Old Yue felt slightly better, but his face was still a little pale. He was taking out a handful of warm jade and placing it on Xu Tianxi's forehead to eliminate the aftereffects.
"It's okay, it's okay. It's always like this for the first time. Master's Xuanwu Shield is not very comfortable to sit on. When you go to the Sun-Moon Empire, you can learn how to make a more comfortable flying soul guide.
I heard from your master uncle that the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance School is already researching bionic manned flying soul guides. That's great. I'll go buy one someday."
Xu Xiaoyun's eyes turned, and he quickly set his sights on the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. What if he didn't have any good stuff at home? He could just go to Sun Moon to buy some!
Anyway, it's not that he doesn't want to pay, he just simplified the transaction process. Moreover, he doesn't bargain and gives extra benefits. Where can Jing Hongchen find such a high-quality customer?
"A manned flying soul guide? That thing seems to be a little worse than an airplane..."
Xu Tianxi naturally didn't know that Xu Xiaoyun's style of doing things was quite similar to that of Water Margin. He just tried hard to recall the fragments from the original novel. He vaguely remembered that Jing Hongchen had used this special soul guide when he brought the Shrek exchange students back to Mingdu.
The person sitting inside is very stable and comfortable, but Jing Hongchen himself has to be outside, which is a great test of the driver's ability.
But those are all later matters. The most urgent task is to absorb spirit rings and advance to the level of Great Spirit Master.
"Bang——"
There was a slight sound from the ground, and the three thousand year old Fantasy Moon God Butterfly captured by Xu Xiaoyun reappeared in sight. The moon powder on the surface of its wings had been washed away, and it was dying, no longer posing any threat to any external creatures.
Without any nonsense, Xu Tianxi took out his submachine gun and shot out a beam of soul-guided rays with a continuous blasting effect. There was a burst of crackling explosions, and the life of the great butterfly with an excellent appearance was ended.
The blue and white spiritual light spots dissipated from its broken body, and a gorgeous purple soul ring slowly rose up along with a rich halo.
Xu Tianxi sat cross-legged and concentrated, and a light suddenly bloomed in his eyes. His bright eyes were like a clear spring, exuding an intriguing aura.
A ball of dazzling silver light lit up and burst out from the center of the eyebrows, then rushed to the back of the head, condensing into a full moon. Countless spiritual threads intertwined on it, and the image of the thousand-year soul ring was reflected on the full moon.
This was the result of two years of hard work after he learned from Xu Xiaoyun and Xu Fu that his martial soul could absorb moonlight at night to cultivate his spiritual power. As long as there was a moon at night, he would meditate and practice in the courtyard, absorbing the moonlight.
Finally, he expanded a soybean-sized moon shadow from nothing into the current full moon with a diameter of one foot.
With the rise of the full moon, his mental power can be extremely concentrated and improved. Whether he is launching soul skills or making soul guides, the power will be enhanced.
Xu Xiaoyun had predicted that if the spiritual power of the full moon was released at once, it would pose a life threat to Soul King-level masters; those below Soul King would have little chance of survival unless they were equipped with top-notch spiritual defense soul guides.
However, if that happened, the burden on Xu Tianxi would be so great that he would probably faint, and his sea of spirituality would also be damaged.
It was because of this full moon that Xu Tianxi dared to choose the three thousand year old Fantasy Moon God Butterfly as his soul ring. Otherwise, not only himself, but also Xu Xiaoyun would not agree, because this thing is much more powerful than the Ice Silkworm.
"receive!"
With his mind focused on the One, he activated the soul ring. A top-level spiritual power soul ring, which was three thousand years old, flew onto Xu Tianxi's body and immediately began to tremble violently.
The development speed of spiritual soul beasts is much faster than that of other soul beasts. Top-level spiritual soul beasts such as the Phantom Moon God Butterfly can already unleash the soul shock of ordinary ten thousand year soul beasts, posing a huge threat to the sea of spirit.
Once the sea of spirituality is lost, the soul master will at best become an idiot, or at worst his brain will explode into a watermelon.
Fortunately, practice makes perfect. Thanks to the unique talents of the Evil Eye Clan, Xu Tianxi, who had already experienced a monkey-version of mental shock, has gained experience in dealing with it.
As soon as it sensed that there were uninvited guests coming from the spiritual sea, Xu Tianxi directly caused the phantom of the full moon in the spiritual sea to descend, and waves of cold light were released, solidifying the residual soul of the Phantom Moon Butterfly and the spiritual shock waves released.
The next moment, the full moon split into several crescent moons, which turned into the god of death's scythe and slashed out, aiming to cut the remaining soul of the Phantom Moon God Butterfly into eight pieces.
The Phantom Moon God Butterfly was unwilling to be killed, so it used its mind to release mental ripples to slow down Xu Tianxi's attack and block the cold light coming from all directions.
Xu Tianxi narrowed his eyes and shouted fiercely,
"Bang!"
The two crescent-moon sickles disintegrated as he thought, and a spiritual cold current erupted, sweeping towards the Phantom Moon Divine Butterfly like thunder and gale. The latter was unable to avoid it and was sucked into it. Its body quickly began to disintegrate, and it gradually lost the strength to struggle.
Soon, the remaining soul of the soul beast, carrying its deep resentment towards humans, was torn into pieces by several moon rays and turned into nothing.
The mental offensive was thus dissipated, and the remaining soul power in the soul ring burst out violently, sweeping through Xu Tianxi's tender body veins.
With the help of various dietary supplements, Xu Tianxi's physical fitness has reached the level of a Soul Sect master. It is no problem for him to absorb the energy impact of the three thousand year soul ring. After just one hour, his body stopped shaking and his breathing gradually became smoother.
"call--"
After letting out a long breath, Xu Tianxi stood up and announced the good news to Xu Xiaoyun and Old Yue:
"Master, Old Yue, I succeeded. The soul skill I obtained is called Mirror Flower and Water Moon. It is a ranged spiritual illusion soul skill. It releases mental power to simulate and change the state of oneself and the surrounding environment, and silently pulls the enemy's consciousness into the illusion.
Once he enters my illusion and fails to get out quickly, his life or death will be out of his control!"
Xu Xiaoyun smiled and nodded, "Very good soul skill. How big is the range of your soul skill?"
"Right now, it should be within a hundred meters, but I can be sure that the range of this soul skill will expand as my soul power and mental strength increase. In addition, this soul skill should be able to affect more than one target. As long as it is within this hundred meters, it will be within the range of my illusion."
Xu Tianxi responded confidently, then looked back at the "full moon" behind him that was only half its size, and said:
"If we use this, the range should be larger. Unless they can concentrate their strength to attack the illusion, even if they find something wrong and force their way in, as long as they don't use up all my mental power, they won't be able to get out!"
"Before that, they are just sitting ducks, waiting for others to attack them! The only problem is that if the target's mental strength is strong, I might get into a stalemate with him after I activate my spirit skill, and I will be unable to move. If the illusion is broken by force, I, the caster, will also suffer the backlash."
"That's enough! Young Master, this soul skill of yours is simply a killer weapon on the battlefield!"
Old Yue, who had once been in the army of the Sun-Moon Empire, was surprised and said to Xu Xiaoyun with a red face: "Ancestor Xu, I can be sure that once this kind of soul skill appears on the battlefield, it will be a terrifying offensive of a large number of soul-guided artillery shells, which may paralyze a large number of enemy combat units! If the young master's cultivation can reach the level of Titled Douluo, I can't imagine how powerful this will be. It is definitely a strategic existence!"
With Old Yue's reminder, Xu Xiaoyun quickly imagined some scenes in his mind. His pupils suddenly shrank, and he murmured, "No wonder some people say that this Illusionary Moon God Butterfly is a spiritual-type Green Scaled Snake King. If it finds the right opportunity to launch it, it won't be difficult to massacre a hundred thousand troops."
Thinking of the story of the Jade Scale Douluo massacring the city ten thousand years ago as recorded in the family's top-secret ancient books, Xu Xiaoyun broke out in a cold sweat. He stared at Xu Tianxi intently and said word by word in an unprecedented solemn tone:
"Tianxi, the effect of your soul skill on a group must be kept secret, and you must not use it lightly on the battlefield, otherwise you will be cursed for eternity!"
"Ten thousand years ago, the Jade Scale Douluo Dugu Bo fought for the Heaven Dou Empire and poisoned and massacred the Wuhun Empire's Jialing Pass. Hundreds of thousands or even millions of people were poisoned to death, and he was cursed and hurt Tianhe."
"Not long after, the Dugu family was cut off from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus family because of this incident. The title of butcher is definitely not easy to bear. Once your ability is known to certain people, they may have some ideas. Even if you want to use it, you have to want to use it yourself, understand?"
Xu Tianxi lowered his eyebrows and made a statement. Xu Xiaoyun was relieved and asked casually, "By the way, your soul skill is said to be able to simulate and change the state of yourself and the surrounding environment. To what extent can it change?"
"Well... I should be able to change the color and number of my spirit rings. I should also be able to turn myself invisible. I don't know about the rest. I have to study it slowly."
"Old Yue, please help me take a look."
Xu Tianxi tried to activate his soul skill, and the two soul rings on his body, one yellow and one purple, suddenly turned white, then yellow, purple, black, and red.
Xu Tianxi himself does not have ten thousand year or one hundred thousand year soul rings. He simulated them based on Xu Xiaoyun's soul rings.
The light changed, and Xu Tianxi's body disappeared silently; at the same time, the snow-covered ground under the feet of the three people turned into a spring scene, with green grass and blooming flowers.
Two seconds later, everything returned to normal. Xu Tianxi's rosy face turned pale and his mental strength was almost exhausted.
"This... is simply a miracle... It can be called a death dream..."
After being trapped for two seconds, Old Yue whispered to himself, unable to describe his feelings.
On the battlefield, two seconds are enough to decide life or death!
Xu Xiaoyun laughed out loud, patted Xu Tianxi on the shoulder to help him recover, and said kindly:
"Alright Tianxi, this time we have accomplished our mission. Let's go to Hanhai City to meet your master uncle. Let him lead you for the rest of the journey."
