Chapter 515: Chapter 387: Level Eight New Soul Skill (Part 2)
“So that’s how it is. You’re really quite straightforward…” Finally, Ting Lan understood, and a smile appeared on her face. This smile seemed somewhat enchanting, exuding the charming demeanor of a mature woman, making it appear uniquely attractive.
“Straightforward?” Chu Mu heard this evaluation of himself for the first time. He just didn’t like this kind of meaningless misunderstanding, and he felt that his interactions with Ting Lan were not very comfortable after that incident.
“Indeed quite straightforward. I am a Level 8 Title holder, and I will have many opportunities to enter the Wind-binding Sanctuary in the future. I told you before that I would give you a small gift, which is a Level 8 Soul Technique. We can go up and pick one.” Ting Lan said.
“Level 8 Soul Technique, that’s great,” Chu Mu’s eyes brightened.
Chu Mu, who had a Level 7 Title, could only choose Level 7 Soul Techniques. In fact, Level 7 Soul Techniques were somewhat insufficient for Chu Mu’s current level, and being able to obtain a Level 8 Soul Technique would mean a certain improvement in his strength.
Seeing Chu Mu’s expression, Ting Lan couldn’t help but chuckle, “You really don’t know how to be polite.”
Ting Lan thought that Chu Mu would decline the offer, especially since he had just let him have the Wind-binding Spirit without even saying thank you. Now that she said she would give him a Level 8 Soul Technique, he acted as if it was something he deserved.
Chu Mu grinned as well. A Level 8 Soul Technique was worth hundreds of millions – why would he refuse? It would be even better if they gave him a few sets of Soul Armor to solve many of his problems.
Ting Lan, as a Level 8 Female Hall Official, had the chance to choose a Level 8 Soul Technique every year. While speaking, she led Chu Mu towards the hall where the treasured Soul Techniques were stored.
There were many other guards protecting the Soul Technique Hall. After passing through various layers of protection and confirming their identities, Chu Mu finally stepped inside the neatly arranged hall filled with numerous Soul Techniques.
“What type of Soul Technique do you want?” Ting Lan asked.
Soul Pet Masters’ Soul Techniques were classified according to types as well. Generally, when asking about the type of Soul Technique, it wasn’t referring to a specific type, but rather its effect: attack, defense, support, speed…
Chu Mu’s current need for Soul Techniques fell into two categories. One was to learn a more absolute defense skill, which would play a crucial role when in danger. The other was to learn a Level 8 Fire Series attack skill, although it would be even better if a more powerful Soul Technique could be obtained.
Chu Mu could stack Fire Skills together, which could be said to be the strongest combination skill he found in the synergy between him, Mo Ye, and the White Nightmare Demon. It was extremely lethal, often able to kill Soul Pets with much higher levels in a single blow.
The problem now was that Mo Ye had not understood a stronger Level 8 Fire Series skill, and the White Nightmare Demon similarly had no Level 8 Fire Series skill. If he were to learn a Level 8 Fire Series skill himself, this stacking would become meaningless.
“Your Dream Beast has quite a bit of potential, but I think its Demon Spirit Attribute is not pure enough. I suggest that you learn a Soul Technique that can make the restrictive ability of your Demon Spirit even more absolute,” Ting Lan said.
“Oh? Is there a corresponding Soul Technique?” Chu Mu asked.
“Level 8 Soul Technique – Si Ye: Makes nightfall descend, increasing the combat power of dark attribute Soul Pets. Under the effect of the Si Ye, the combat power of your Night Thunder Dream Beast can be increased by about 20%, and the success rate of Dreamland Skills will also be greatly increased,” Ting Lan said.
“My Soul Pet has already understood that technique,” Chu Mu replied.
Ting Lan was stunned, only then realizing that Chu Mu’s Dream Beast seemed to have not fully displayed its strength.
“Young Master, her suggestion just now reminded me of a good Soul Technique.” Fox Elder’s voice entered his mind.
“Yeah?” Chu Mu waited for the Fox Elder’s follow-up.
“Domain Skill, Young Master has lost one Soul, and his disadvantage in battling against true experts is too obvious. Your advantage lies in your Spirit level. In my opinion, there are hardly any Five Thought Soul Masters in the second-tier with strength equal to yours. If you have a Domain Skill at this time, it gives you a certain control over the overall situation, making it easier for you to blend into the second-tier,” Fox Elder said.
It would be a pity if Chu Mu’s high level couldn’t be leveraged to his advantage.
“Well, then I’ll go check out the Domain Soul Techniques,” Chu Mu said.
Domain Skills were rare among all Soul Techniques, and obtaining one was extremely difficult. Chu Mu originally thought that no matter how powerful the Soul Hall was, there might not be many Domain Techniques available.
What surprised Chu Mu was that Soul Hall had actually collected domain skills for all attributes at the eighth level!
“Choose the domain skill based on the attribute that is most common among your soul pets,” Ting Lan pointed at a row of differently colored soul technique books on the high shelf as she spoke.
The dark attribute domain skill was the Si Ye, which the Night Thunder Dream Beast had comprehended. It wouldn’t mean much for Chu Mu to learn it again, and none of his soul pets had any apparent overlap in other attributes. For a moment, Chu Mu didn’t know which attribute to choose.
“What’s this silver one?” Chu Mu asked as he spotted a Soul Technique book with a dark silver sheen.
Ting Lan, who evidently often visited here, explained with a smile, “That’s the domain of the different race. The different race attribute has always been mysterious and hard to decipher by scholars, and its domain is quite strange. This different race soul technique book is about 80% complete. The book describes the location of the complete soul technique book, but it is written in ancient and hard-to-understand text that only a researcher would recognize.”
“Only 80%? Then wouldn’t that mean I can’t even bring out 30% of its power? What’s this soul technique called?” Chu Mu asked with disappointment.
“Rhino Pupil, it’s a very peculiar technique. I’m not too familiar with its effects. If you don’t mind learning this soul technique, only one in a hundred soul pet trainers can learn it successfully,” Ting Lan said.
As soon as Ting Lan finished speaking, the Fox Elder’s voice came out, “Young Master, this Rhino Pupil is worth learning and rather suitable for you.”
“Do you know the purpose of this different race soul technique?” Chu Mu asked.
“Yes, this different race soul technique is almost useless for many soul pet trainers because they cannot exert its effects, but you are different. You possess half-demon skills, and the heterochromatic eyes in the racial skills of half-demons complement this technique!”
Heterochromatic Eyes: It can improve nerve response speed, making all rapidly changing and moving objects in one’s field of vision extremely slow.
As such, it is equivalent to directly increasing one’s evasion ability since one can react before the opponent takes any action.
When Chu Mu’s strength reached Five Thought Soul Master, he discovered that he could already use the heterochromatic eyes technique. This technique was not comprehended by the White Nightmare Demon, but he had already learned it, which Chu Mu himself could not explain. Perhaps it was because the half-demon was slowly taking over his body…
“The Rhino Pupil effect can synchronize your own spiritual technique to the eyes of your soul pets, enhancing their judgment ability of enemy movements and their own reaction ability. I estimate that with your soul sense, the evasion ability of all your soul pets will be greatly enhanced when you use it, and their soul and reaction speed will be much stronger than your opponents in the entire battlefield. In this way, in the overall battle cooperation and layout, you will be superior to others. Under the same conditions of strength, the probability of winning will be increased from 50% to 80%. Moreover, when facing stronger enemies, as long as the Rhino Pupil effect is still in effect, you will be invincible,” the Fox Elder said.
With the Fox Elder’s explanation, Chu Mu felt strange. If he hadn’t learned the Heterochromatic Eyes technique, this different race domain skill – Rhino Pupil would indeed be a soul technique that had no use after learning, but now it seemed like it was tailor-made for him. Nothing was more important than controlling the entire battlefield situation.
“This Rhino Pupil technique only lasts for about one minute. One minute is crucial for a battle with disparity. If you seize it well, it can completely reverse the situation; this domain skill is worth learning,” the Fox Elder continued.
In one minute, if Chu Mu was at a disadvantage, the probability of his soul pets being attacked would be very low during the time they used Rhino Pupil, enough to adjust through this one minute.
On the other hand, if Chu Mu had an advantage, his soul pets’ attacks would become extremely sharp during that one minute as their keen eyes could see through all the enemy’s actions and shatter them!
An eighth-level attack technique could certainly cause a lot of damage, and a defense technique could indeed protect the safety of soul pets at a critical moment. But nothing could compare to controlling the entire battlefield situation. What was needed in a battle was victory. Under the effect of this domain, the entire battle situation could be changed!
Though it was an eighth-level different race soul technique, this technique was even more precious to Chu Mu than a ninth-level soul technique!
“I’ll take this one,” Chu Mu said with a smile, pointing to the soul technique book with a dark silver sheen.
“Did you not hear everything I just said?” Ting Lan blinked at Chu Mu.
“I heard it,” Chu Mu nodded.
“Then why did you still choose this technique? This eighth-level soul technique has a very low evaluation and is indeed a waste,” Ting Lan said.
“Superiority and inferiority don’t represent anything to me. Suitability is the most important thing, and the same goes for soul pets,” Chu Mu said.
“There is no superiority or inferiority in soul techniques, only suitability. Soul pets are the same?” Ting Lan was stunned as she repeated Chu Mu’s words. Suddenly understanding something, she couldn’t help but take another look at Chu Mu. (To be continued.
