Chapter 74: Spearmanship · Annihilation and the External Soul Bone · Mirage Dragon Pearl
[Tang Hao: @Yu Xiaogang, stay at home and don't wander around, wait for me!]
After Yu Xiaogang revealed his location, Tang Hao simply responded with a message: "Wait for me."
He didn't reveal how long it would take him to reach Nuoding City or the distance between them.
But based on Tang Hao's experience,
even with Tang San, it would take him less than half an hour to reach Nuoding City.
Once Tang Hao and Yu Xiaogang exchanged their messages, there was no further discussion in the livestream.
The livestream was about to close.
[Ding! This livestream Q&A has ended. The livestream room will close in three minutes. Feel free to leave the room anytime.]
[The next livestream Q&A will take place in seven days!]
As a line of blood-red characters appeared on everyone's screen, a cold voice echoed in their ears.
A seven-day interval?
Upon seeing that the next livestream would be in seven days, many people couldn't help but feel excited.
Based on past experience, questions asked during seven-day intervals were typically the simplest.
Though the previous two seven-day interval Q&A sessions were won by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan,
those questions weren't entirely out of their reach!
It's a pity!
In the Seven Dormitories of Nuoding Academy, Lin Yu couldn't help but feel a bit regretful.
Because, based on the pattern so far, the livestream Q&A with a one-month gap always focused on future events,
and Lin Yu was the one who understood the future of the Douluo Continent the best.
No competition, and the rewards were very generous.
If this continued, he'd be set for life!
As the livestream was about to end, everyone slowly left the room.
Lin Yu, Xiao Wu, and the other children of the Seven Dormitories also exited the livestream.
"Ah! I envy that guy Lin Yu so much! He got the answer right again, I wish it was us!"
"If we could just get one chance for soul ring evolution, we could become geniuses!"
After the livestream ended, Wang Sheng sat on his bed, full of envy as he spoke.
Coming from a commoner background, Wang Sheng only had a soul power of level three at the beginning.
After spending nearly five years, he had just reached level nine.
It would probably take another year for him to break through to level ten.
But if his soul ring could evolve, he might directly break through to level ten and become a Soul Master.
Once he became a Soul Master, he could receive a gold soul coin subsidy from Spirit Hall every month!
Sigh! Up until now, he'd only gotten a gold soul coin once, from Xiao Wu.
It was so depressing!
After Wang Sheng spoke, the rest of the children in the Seven Dormitories also agreed, imagining what their lives would be like if they could become geniuses.
Xiao Wu listened intently and occasionally added a comment.
But Lin Yu could only smile wryly.
Because the Lin Yu they were talking about was none other than himself, "Long Aotian"!
However, Xiao Wu and the other children from the Seven Dormitories were happily chatting away.
This was a perfect opportunity for Lin Yu to collect his two rewards from this Q&A session.
He had already made plans for the two rewards.
Due to unexpectedly acquiring the Golden Sacred Dragon bloodline,
Although he was still human, Lin Yu decided to choose a soul bone that could hide his identity, alter his appearance, and also help Xiao Wu hide her identity.
For the second reward, Lin Yu decided to pick a body cultivation technique.
Because Lin Yu already had both the Eternal Life Art and the Xuanwu True Art for his energy cultivation and martial arts.
The Xuanwu True Art's top ten martial arts and two body techniques meant that Lin Yu didn't need to worry about martial arts for now.
However, he didn't yet have a body cultivation technique.
And in Douluo Continent, physical strength was very important.
After all, the stronger the body, the higher the soul rings a Soul Master could absorb, and the higher the soul rings, the stronger the soul abilities.
So physical strength not only improved the Soul Master's power in a simple sense, but in many aspects.
If he had the chance to obtain a body cultivation technique, he definitely wouldn't let it slip away.
After careful consideration over the past month, Lin Yu had already made his choice.
At first, he had wanted to choose one of the top techniques, like the "Invincible Vajra Technique" from Kung Fu or "The World's Best" from the Wind and Cloud world.
But thinking about how the Invincible Vajra Technique was still a martial art, it might also be restricted by the rules of the Douluo universe.
So after further thought, Lin Yu came up with a new idea.
That was the "Gun Art: Annihilation" created by the strongest human on Earth, Hong, from the world of Swallowed Star!
Swallowed Star shares the same cosmic world view as Douluo Continent.
And martial artists from Swallowed Star don't require spiritual energy to cultivate.
Lin Yu felt that he should be able to cultivate the genetic martial art from Swallowed Star in Douluo Continent.
And the Gun Art: Annihilation is composed of two parts: the gun techniques and the guiding techniques. The former allows for the release of superhuman strength by using unique force techniques.
Lin Yu remembered that the nine-fold Thunder Knife created by the second strongest person on Earth, Lei Shen, could unleash 140% of the user's strength in the first fold.
If it reached the ninth fold, it could release up to 700% of the strength, which is terrifying!
The Gun Art: Annihilation created by Hong is even more famous and powerful than the nine-fold Thunder Knife.
And that's just the pure gun and blade techniques.
The unique guiding technique can absorb cosmic energy, evolve the gene, and enhance physical fitness comprehensively.
Since the Chaos Blue Lotus Martial Soul can split into a God-Slaying Spear, training in the genetic martial arts of Swallowed Star and mastering Gun Art: Annihilation would be perfect for him.
The only problem is, does the Douluo universe have the cosmic energy from Swallowed Star?
"System, for this time's two rewards, one will be a soul bone."
"The soul bone's ability should allow me to hide my identity and alter my appearance, while also being useful on others. Ideally, it should be an external soul bone."
"And for the second reward, I'll choose the Gun Art: Annihilation created by Hong from Swallowed Star. But before I make my final decision, I want to ask: Does the Douluo universe have cosmic energy for cultivating genetic martial arts?"
Sitting alone, Lin Yu communicated with the system in his mind.
After a moment, the system's cold voice responded.
"After system inspection, there is an external soul bone that fits your requirements. This soul bone is called External Soul Bone: Mirage Dragon Pearl. It can release the aura of the Mirage Dragon to disguise the host's identity."
"Since the Mirage Dragon aura has no offensive capabilities, its consumption is minimal. Given its high level, even Title Douluo cannot see through the disguise. The aura can also be used to disguise others."
"As for the Gun Art: Annihilation from Swallowed Star, it can be cultivated in the Douluo universe. However, the cosmic energy in the Douluo universe is not as potent as the one from Swallowed Star. The host's training may be slightly affected."
"Since it's possible, I will choose these two rewards."
After thinking for a while, Lin Yu decided on these two rewards, satisfied with the system's response.
