Looking at Xia Liang, whose height had reached his chest, Teacher Mo was completely stunned. At this moment, he no longer felt that Xia Liang was the eight-year-old child who had just searched for soul beasts with him.
This exaggerated speed of physical development is obviously the benefit of absorbing a super-long-year spirit ring.
But why does Xia Liang always give people a lifeless feeling after absorbing the first soul ring?
Especially the face, which had lost some of its childishness and had a more pale look, as if it was terminally ill.
"Ah Liang. Are you really okay?" Teacher Mo looked at Xia Liang, who looked lifeless, in confusion. "You don't look like you're okay."
After hearing this, Xia Liang immediately took out a mirror from his silver bracelet.
When he saw his appearance in the mirror, he understood why Teacher Mo kept asking him if he was okay.
His face was pale, his brows were black, and his face looked haggard. Was this the negative impact of the growth of the undead attribute of the skeleton martial spirit?
Or was he himself a living dead?
As the spirit gets closer to the spirit's true form, the characteristics of the living dead become more obvious?
Thinking of this, Xia Liang couldn't help but think of the images of Ghost Douluo and Bone Douluo in the anime. Maybe these two Titled Douluo are what he will look like when he is old.
However, it seemed that only his appearance and temperament gave people a listless and lifeless feeling. His own physical condition was very good, and his mental strength was stronger than before.
"Martial spirits are very special. Not only do they possess certain abilities, but they also affect the mind and physical condition of their masters. I think my current appearance is probably the result of the strengthening of the Skeleton Martial Spirit."
After listening to Xia Liang's explanation, Teacher Mo nodded in agreement.
"The greater the influence of the martial spirit on the master, the stronger the ability of the martial spirit." Xia Liang put the mirror back into the silver bracelet and said gratefully, "Teacher Mo, thank you so much for helping me find a spirit ring with such a high age and high degree of fit."
Teacher Mo waved his hand, "Why thank me? You are about to join my mercenary group. This first spirit ring is just a gift. I may help you with the second spirit ring in the future. Tell me quickly. What is your first spirit skill?"
"My first soul skill is called Netherworld Transformation. Different from the Netherworld Ghost Bear's bear paw attack and body defense. Netherworld Transformation is an amplification skill. After the soul skill is activated, it can increase the strength and defense attributes by 50%."
As he spoke, Xia Liang released his skeleton martial spirit, and his entire body was covered by ribs burning with black and purple ghost fire.
At the same time, a yellow soul ring slowly rose from under his feet. This was the soul ring of the Nether Ghost Bear, which was five hundred and sixty years old.
"I'm curious." Teacher Mo suddenly asked. "Is the black and purple flame burning on each rib the will-o'-the-wisp you summoned earlier?"
Xia Liang nodded.
"Apart from the 50% increase in strength and defense attributes, does your first soul skill have no other amplifying effects?" Teacher Mo asked.
"It seems there is also an amplification effect." Xia Liang concealed something, "Although the Skeleton Martial Soul still only has the ribs, but after activating the first soul skill, in addition to the ribs, the Skeleton Martial Soul will also grow the entire right arm bone of the Nether Ghost Bear."
As he spoke, Xia Liang's first soul ring lit up, and his first soul skill, Netherworld Transformation, was activated.
Behind him, a huge phantom of a ghost bear raised its arms and let out a terrifying roar.
roar--
The sound waves caused by the roar spread outward along with the black and purple ghost fire, and the cold and strange black and purple aura covered an area within a radius of ten meters.
Just as the huge phantom of the Netherworld Ghost Bear disappeared, a strange scene appeared.
The dark purple ribs covering Xia Liang's body, the ghost fire burning on each bone began to gradually condense into a thick dark purple arm on the right side of the ribs.
The cold ghost fire burned the black and purple arm, burning the flesh to ashes and revealing the bones of the entire arm.
This series of changes happened within two seconds.
After the third second, Xia Liang's entire body was wrapped in a black and purple rib with arm bones.
Seeing this scene, Teacher Mo stood there in a daze. The changes in the ribs just now were like a skeleton coming to life, and an entire right arm bone grew out of thin air.
The metacarpal bone of this right arm is two meters wide when spread out, enough to hold an adult in the palm.
With the protection of the ribs, plus this right arm bone, wouldn't the skeleton martial soul now be able to combine power and defense into one?
"Teacher Mo, I want to attack you."
Just a simple reminder, Xia Liang suddenly reached forward with his right hand, and the arm of the skeleton martial spirit stretched out like rubber, quickly grabbing towards Teacher Mo's position.
Teacher Mo subconsciously took a few steps back, and only after seeing the attacking skeleton arm clearly did he retreat rhythmically to ten meters away.
At this moment, the extension of the skeleton's arm came to an abrupt stop.
Looking at the huge metacarpal bone hovering in front of him, Teacher Mo smiled knowingly, "Ah liang. If I guess correctly, your skeleton arm should only have an attack range of ten meters, right?"
"Yes. But you're only half right."
As he spoke, Xia Liang took a big step forward, and the ten-meter-long skeleton arm also moved forward one meter, and actually grabbed Teacher Mo's body and lifted it high in the air.
Teacher Mo did not expect that he could artificially increase the attack distance in this way. At this moment, his body was held by the metacarpal bones of the skeleton's arm. He was in a floating state and had no point to exert force.
Moreover, it seems that the entire skeleton arm cannot be shattered with normal strength alone.
"Teacher Mo, you should activate your martial spirit. This skeleton arm has inherited the arm strength of the Nether Ghost Bear. With the first spirit skill, Nether Transformation, it has a 50% increase in strength and defense. Under normal circumstances, you will not be able to break free."
As he spoke, Xia Liang was also using his mind to increase the grip of the skeleton's arm.
Teacher Mo, who was being tightly held in the skeleton's palm, suddenly felt as if his body was being crushed.
Only then did he realize that the skeleton arm holding him looked slender, but the bones were quite hard, and it had the dual attributes of strength and defense. Under normal circumstances, it was indeed difficult to break free.
If one really wanted to kill someone, this skeleton arm alone could easily crush an ordinary person to death.
