"That white circle is called a soul ring. Doesn't Master Su Yuntao have one too? And there is also a yellow circle. This means that Master Su Yuntao is a two-ring great soul master."
The old village chief smiled and said, "You are an innate fifth-level soul power, so you can practice. In the future, you will also have a white circle like this on your body. By then, you can call yourself a soul master!"
"Aliang, do you want to go to a specialized academy to learn about soul masters?"
"I want to." Xia Liang felt a little guilty, "But I don't have money to go to school."
The old village chief laughed, "Several villages nearby share one work-study student quota. I heard that none of their children have soul power. Ah Liang, after discussion, we decided to give this quota to you. If you can cultivate to the same level as Master Su Yuntao, it will bring honor to our villages."
Xia Liang immediately stood up from his chair, bowed slightly to the old village chief, and said in a child's tone, "Grandpa Village Chief, thank you. Thank you to everyone in other villages as well."
"Okay, okay, have breakfast quickly, and then go practice." The old village chief rubbed Xia Liang's head and instructed, "The Notting City Junior Soul Master Academy will not start until three months later. During this time, you should stay at grandpa's house and practice well. Grandpa is still looking forward to you becoming a soul master soon."
"I'll try my best!" After answering, Xia Liang hurriedly finished a bowl of porridge, wiped his mouth and ran out the door.
Arriving at a small hill a few hundred meters away from Guowan Village, a new day of training begins.
After practicing last night, Xia Liang had a general understanding of the meditation method mentioned by Su Yuntao.
It turns out that the so-called meditation method is actually to use the martial soul to absorb the natural energy of the outside world and convert it into the soul power of the soul master himself during meditation.
There are many natural energies in the outside world.
For example, the wood energy contained in the forest, the fire energy contained in the volcano, the wind energy contained in the wind, the thunder energy contained in lightning, and even the light energy contained in sunlight, etc.
According to Su Yuntao, because there are different types of martial souls, some soul master families on the mainland have developed their own advanced meditation methods based on the meditation method.
It is not known what kind of advanced meditation method it is.
However, based on his knowledge of the original work, Xia Liang could roughly guess a thing or two.
Soul masters like the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family have martial souls with top-level thunder attributes. If they are good at utilizing the thunder energy in nature during meditation, they should be able to research some kind of thunder and lightning meditation method.
There are also soul masters with dark martial souls who can use the devouring properties of darkness to enhance the martial soul's absorption of external natural energy, thereby researching more advanced dark meditation methods.
To Xia Liang's regret, his skeleton martial soul did not have the dark attribute. Although he could see the undead wandering around, he could not devour them to help improve his cultivation.
For now, I can't find a more suitable method for practicing the Skeleton Martial Soul, so I can only practice with ordinary meditation methods first, and then find another way after I am familiar with it.
Two hours passed quickly.
It was already twelve o'clock in the afternoon and the sun was very strong.
After finishing his meditation, Xia Liang opened his eyes, stood up and looked at the sun in the sky.
He remembered that ghosts are extremely yin entities, while sunlight is extremely hot and yang, so ghosts are afraid of sunlight.
He had died once before, and was a living dead like Ghost Douluo, but he did not show any signs of a ghost being afraid of the sun.
Moreover, if I accidentally scratch my finger while cooking in the morning, it will still bleed like a normal person.
Feeling the sunlight shining on his body, Xia Liang was no longer sure whether he was a human or a ghost.
Could it be that because of the existence of his martial spirit, he was somewhere in between, both a human and a ghost?
Looking back at the original story where Ghost Douluo was killed by the Sea God Tang San, Xia Liang seemed to have figured something out. The sun's rays posed no threat to him.
But if it was a light with divine attributes, perhaps one could completely restrain oneself.
In the original novel, the light of the sea god that killed Ghost Douluo just happened to have the purifying effect of divine power.
"Let's first master the use of the Skeleton Martial Spirit."
While thinking, Xia Liang walked to a big tree.
The skeleton martial spirit was released, and the dark purple aura condensed around his body into a dark purple rib that covered his entire body.
Xia Liang reached forward with both hands to grab one of the ribs and tried to pull it off, but found that with his current strength, he could not shake the black and purple rib at all. This shows that the joints of each rib are very strong and have a certain hardness.
When the entire rib cage protects the whole body, it should be able to block most attacks.
However, there are gaps between each rib, and if an attack passes through the gap, it will be impossible to defend against it.
Xia Liang used Tieshankao twice on the big tree in front.
His right shoulder was separated from the tree by black and purple ribs, so when he crashed into the tree, the first things that collided were the black and purple ribs and the tree.
Bang, bang.
After enduring two impacts from the iron leaner, the tree shook violently twice, and some leaves slowly fell to the ground, but the tree itself was not damaged at all.
The action of force is mutual.
When hitting the tree, the black and purple ribs also suffered two collision injuries.
During this process, Xia Liang discovered that the ribs in his body were not affected by the backlash. It seemed that the ribs that made up the skeleton martial spirit were not connected to his body.
He couldn't help but have another question: every bone came from an animal, but could be used like a tool.
Is the Skeleton Martial Soul a Beast Martial Soul or a Weapon Martial Soul?
Walking to a two-meter-high boulder, Xia Liang used the Iron Mountain Lean on the boulder, this time with greater force than before.
After using Iron Mountain Lean Back twenty times in a row, the boulder had already endured twenty impacts of the black and purple ribs.
Xia Liang's body did not suffer any backlash, but cracks appeared where the boulder was hit, which showed that the hardness of the black and purple ribs was even harder than the boulder.
With this hardness, I wonder if the ribs of the Skeleton Martial Spirit can protect myself when falling from a height.
Glancing around, Xia Liang discovered that the surrounding rocks were only two meters high.
He tried to jump down from a two-meter-high rock, and then covered his whole body with the ribs of the Skeleton Martial Soul. As a result, his body was safe and sound, and the ribs of the Skeleton Martial Soul were not damaged. It seems that the hardness and defense of the Skeleton Martial Soul are stronger than he imagined.
After returning to the old village chief's house for lunch and waking up from a nap, Xia Liang continued to sit cross-legged at the foot of the hill to meditate and began to cultivate his soul power.
In the morning, he had tested the hardness and defense of the Skeleton Martial Soul by falling from different heights and impacting it to different degrees.
The conclusion is that if the Skeleton Martial Soul is to take the defensive route, then when it cultivates to the Titled Douluo realm, its defense may be no less than that of the Ancient Banyan Bone Douluo of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect
