"It seems that my guess is right. The increase in strength after using the martial spirit can become a normal state, which is difficult to achieve in the short term."
At the Junior Soul Master Academy in Binhai City, Ding Quan was cleaning the area that belonged to him.
The work of a part-time student is relatively easy and does not take up much time.
It has been more than three months since I enrolled, and I have not encountered any accidents. As for the problem that Ding Quan had been worried about before, the noble students bullying the part-time students did not happen.
Ding Quan thought about it and felt that it was normal.
In fact, the talents of those who come to this junior soul master academy to study are not very strong. In the future, they will most likely be at the same level. The students are just young, not brainless, so there is no need to establish an enemy.
Although there is a trace of contempt in the eyes of the noble students, it has not reached the point of taking action.
Of course, what is more important is that the current dean was a part-time student when he was studying.
While cleaning, Ding Quan was still circulating his soul power for cultivation. Although the speed was very slow, the gap was accumulated bit by bit.
After several months of cultivation, he obtained the meditation method given by the academy and reached level six a few days ago.
At the current cultivation speed, it will take about two years to reach level ten.
"Ding Quan, are you done? Let's go." A burly student who was almost two heads taller than Ding Quan came over.
"Brother Gang, it's time to finish." After Ding Quan put away the tools, he walked out with Yu Gang.
After seeing that Ding Quan's sword spirit was extremely sharp, Yu Gang recommended his job to him.
Working in a slaughterhouse, but this is Binhai City, and the target of slaughter is fish, and it is a big fish.
There are many soul beasts among them, including whales.
This kind of big fish is too big to be cut up, usually someone is asked to handle it, but it is troublesome to handle it with ordinary knives, so people with sharp spirits are asked to help.
Soul masters look down on this little salary, so it falls into the hands of soul warriors without spirit rings.
When Ding Quan heard the content of the job, he immediately agreed. Whales appear from time to time in the slaughterhouse, and maybe he can encounter whale glue.
Although he can't take it away even if it appears, he can eat some of it directly when he slaughters it, and it shouldn't be discovered.
Yu Gang's martial spirit is a two-handed sword, which is about the same height as his height. It is not sharp, but it is suitable for chopping and is very useful for handling huge bones.
Therefore, he is a talent needed by the slaughterhouse. If there are some fish meats in the slaughterhouse that are not good, they can be taken away.
Looking at Yu Gang on the side, this guy is so strong, but not fat. Maybe he eats too much fish meat.
"You two are here, but you will have to work harder today!" When they arrived at the slaughterhouse, a fat man said to the two.
"Uncle Fat, do you have a big cargo today?" Yu Gang went up to him directly.
"Yes, we got a gray whale today. It's a bit big, and it's really hard for us to handle it." Then he took the two into the warehouse on the side.
Ding Quan was also shocked after entering. This gray whale was more than 20 meters long and Ding Quan couldn't tell how heavy it was.
"Is this a soul beast?" Ding Quan noticed that there was a weak soul power fluctuation on its body.
"You are really sharp, this is a thousand-year soul beast. We are lucky. We just happened to meet someone who got the soul ring. This is what the person didn't want after getting the soul ring."
After hearing this, Ding Quan finally understood. Although there were soul masters going to this fish farm to fish, their strength was not strong. They could not fight against such a huge soul beast, which was still a thousand years old.
"Thousand-year soul beast, uncle, you are so lucky, but it's so big, we have to spend some time." Yu Gang looked at the huge body of the whale with a flash of envy. Thousand-year soul beast, I don't know if my talent can absorb the thousand-year soul ring.
"Then let's do it!" Ding Quan clenched his right hand, and the Longyuan Sword appeared in his hand.
Ding Quan also looked at the Longyuan Sword in his hand with some helplessness. He killed a lot of fish here before the battle.
Seeing the two people cutting up the gray whale, the fat uncle left here.
The Longyuan Sword easily cut the skin of the whale, but Yu Gang's big knife beside him wasted some effort.
Ding Quan had a clearer understanding of the sharpness of his Longyuan Sword, but its shortcomings were also very obvious.
It was impossible to chop those huge bones.
If you use too much force, you will feel like they are going to break.
Ding Quan knew that feeling was not an illusion. The Dragon Abyss Sword was now his martial soul. The feeling it conveyed to him could not be wrong. It did lack toughness.
Ding Quan was more certain about the plant soul beast whose first soul ring absorbed the wood attribute.
The two spent most of the day and finally cut the gray whale into pieces, leaving only its head.
The fish's head was all bones, and Yu Gang was always responsible for it. After all, Ding Quan's Dragon Abyss Sword was not suitable for chopping, and was only responsible for carrying it.
"Brother Gang, this whale's head is too hard. It can't be split like this. I'll go get an axe!" Ding Quan suggested after seeing that Yu Gang's big knife was still intact after several chops. "
It's worthy of being a thousand-year soul beast. It's really hard!"
"Brother Gang, a thousand-year soul beast is equivalent to a soul master. We are just soul warriors. And it's too big. It's normal that we can't chop it." Ding Quan came over with an axe and smashed it directly on its skull.
With the cooperation of the two, the skull of the whale was cracked open. The whale brain is a tonic, although Ding Quan didn't know where to supplement.
"It's open, let's go! Hmm? What is this?" Yu Gang took out the whale brain and put it in a container. A transparent object as big as a fist fell directly.
"This is it!" Ding Quan's eyes condensed. If he guessed correctly, could it be whale glue?
In this era, whale glue was only used as an aphrodisiac and was sought after by some nobles.
Ten thousand years later, whale glue was widely known to improve physical fitness and was very expensive.
It is said that absorbing a whole piece of thousand-year whale glue can increase the soul ring absorption period by about 500 years.
Ding Quan was very skeptical about this. If this is true, then there must be no shortage of thousand-year second soul rings ten thousand years later.
But the fact is the opposite. There are not many people with thousand-year second soul rings.
Even so, the effect of whale glue is attractive enough.
Ding Quan picked it up. It seemed that the jelly was too soft. Normal whale glue seemed to be colored, but this was transparent.
"Is this whale glue?" Ding Quan glanced at Yu Gang who was holding the whale brain.
"It shouldn't be. I've seen whale glue, and the color is different." Yu Gang said after taking a look.
"No matter whether it is or not, let's go and check out first." Yu Gang nodded after hearing this, and looked at the sky that had already darkened. After putting the things away, he went to Uncle Fatty to check out.
"Here are your wages, both of you."
"Uncle Fatty, I found this in the whale's head. Can I take it?" Ding Quan showed Uncle Fatty the bag containing the fist-sized transparent object.
Even if this thing is somewhat related to whale glue, it is not after all, and its value is not high.
"Let me see, this should be whale glue that has not yet formed. It's a pity that it is useless. If you want it, take it away." Uncle Fatty took a look and felt a little sorry. After all, it couldn't be sold at a high price if it was not formed.
Ding Quan was relieved when he heard this. As he thought, this was indeed whale glue, but it was not formed.
Such things are of no value to Fatty Uncle. As we all know, whale glue is an aphrodisiac, and this thing is even less useful. He can take it away.
The two took their wages and left directly. Yu Gang looked at Ding Quan, but thinking that he was so young, it should not be what he thought.
As for himself, Yu Gang touched the muscles on his body and didn't need such things.
Ding Quan returned to the dormitory and took a bath again to remove most of the fishy smell. He glanced at his roommates who were resting or still practicing, and Ding Quan took the unformed whale glue to the wild.
Sitting on the grass, looking at the jelly-like thing in his hand, Ding Quan hesitated whether to eat it.
There is no doubt that although this is unformed whale glue, it has more or less effect.
With his current conditions, he can't get a lot of money to buy whale glue in a short time.
There are ideas to make money, but the money comes slowly. This is Douluo Continent, but there is no legal protection. The ideas you think of in the morning may be someone else's in the afternoon.
Ding Quan smelled the smell on it, and it was indeed similar to the smell of whale glue described in the book.
After taking a look at the sky, he made up his mind, picked up some wood, lit it and roasted it, and then put it directly into his mouth.
A strong fishy smell rushed straight to his brain. He held his breath and swallowed it down a few times, resisting the discomfort .
Then he quickly sat down cross-legged and started to use his soul power.
More than ten minutes later, Ding Quan felt a heat rising from his stomach, and his whole body became hot. It should be because he was too young, and there were no other adverse reactions.
With a clench of his right hand, the Longyuan Sword appeared in his hand. After inserting it aside, Ding Quan felt a heat flow in his body.
Ding Quan felt that his body was getting stronger, although it was very slow, but it was definitely not wrong.
In a place that Ding Quan could not see, a dragon pattern swam on his body, and its golden pattern became brighter and brighter.
As time went by, Ding Quan's body became red, and there was no other reaction. Ding Quan felt that his soul power was rapidly increasing.
A few hours later, Ding Quan opened his eyes and then exhaled heavily.
Ding Quan put away his martial soul, and he was not feeling well during this period.
"I didn't expect the effect to be so strong!" After putting away his martial soul, Ding Quan felt that the previous amplification had weakened a lot, and his body had strengthened a lot.
The amplification state of his own scabbard was transforming into normal.
Moreover, his soul power was almost close to level seven. According to the current cultivation speed, he might break through in these two months.
Eating this thing was equivalent to several months of cultivation.
He looked at the time and could still rest for a while, so he went back to bed and fell asleep.
One and a half years later.
"Let's determine the wood attribute, tentatively decide on bamboo-type soul beasts, lonely bamboo, which are distributed in all major soul hunting forests, and have extremely strong toughness."
"Moreover, it has no attack ability, and there is no danger to the soul hunting."
Ding Quan put the soul beast illustration in his hand back on the bookshelf.
Now Ding Quan's soul power has reached level nine, and he may break through at any time. Ding Quan is making plans for the soul rings in the future.
Ding Quan's cultivation speed shocked the teachers in the academy, but Ding Quan felt that it was a bit slow.
It took two years to improve from level five to level ten, and he also ate some good things during this period to achieve such a speed.
Ding Quan has been killing fish there for more than a year. Although he has dealt with several whales, it is a pity that he has no luck as before.
It seems that even whale glue is not available in every whale.
Ding Quan does not know what his true strength is now, but when Yu Gang broke through the tenth level, Ding Quan and him did not use martial arts.
Although he is not as tall as Yu Gang, his strength can be equal to that of the burly Yu Gang.
You know, the opponent's strength is definitely more than that of an ordinary adult.
In this way, his eight-year-old body has reached the level of an adult, and the sword sheath has greatly increased his own strength.
At this time, it is indeed necessary to determine how to choose his first soul ring.
The soul rings attached to the soul masters of this Douluo Continent are mostly attack or defense soul skills, and Ding Quan does not want to obtain such skills.
Those who often travel through the Douluo Continent know that the first few soul skills of the soul master have little effect at a high level.
Therefore, the first few soul skills are functional, with special effects or amplification.
However, the soul beasts that produce such soul skills are very strong, and such soul beasts are rare in the Soul Hunting Forest.
It was decided to obtain a bamboo soul beast, but I didn't expect that the final choice was Guzhu.
It was the Guzhu with a ten-year life span that Yu Xiaogang had planned to let Tang San absorb before he met the Mandragora Snake.
However, Guzhu is indeed very famous among bamboo soul beasts, and its toughness is also the best among bamboos.
Ding Quan touched the tight muscles on his body. The scabbard of the Longyuan Sword is made of black bamboo, so it must be suitable to absorb such a soul ring.
Most of the soul skills produced after absorbing Guzhu are also to enhance toughness.
After enhancing the toughness of the martial soul, your body will also become tough, and you can get a second soul ring with a high age.
Choosing Guzhu will not be risky when hunting souls. The biggest disadvantage of plant soul beasts is that they cannot move and are afraid of fire.
There is no risk in hunting, and you only need to obtain a soul hunting warrant.
But let's ask again to see if there are other better options.
Ding Quan tidied himself up and went directly to the slaughterhouse to work.
"Ding Quan, you are here." As soon as Ding Quan arrived at the fish farm, the burly Yu Gang came to greet him.
"Brother Gang!" Looking at the big man in front of him who was 1.8 meters tall, if it weren't for his childish face, no one would believe that he was twelve years old.
Ding Quan saw that he had grown a lot taller. It seemed that absorbing spirit rings would make his body develop rapidly.
Yu Gang broke through level ten not long ago. Ding Quan fought with him without using his martial spirit. Although Ding Quan's body size was much different from his, his strength was not inferior to his, and his body was more flexible.
If both sides did not use martial spirits, he would be able to fight him. If he used martial spirits, he would not be his opponent under the condition of amplification.
He knew the opponent's spirit skills, and he would not have any chance in a close combat.
