The effect of Soul Protection is to consume soul power to create a soul power shield that covers the entire body.
It can block any damage from 360 degrees, including but not limited to physical damage, elemental damage, and mental attacks.
It provides comprehensive, all-around protection!
The only drawback is that it consumes a lot of soul power.
In addition to the fixed cost of casting soul spells, soul power is also consumed when negating damage.
The higher the damage, the more soul power is consumed.
If the battle becomes too intense, the beast tamer with insufficient soul power will soon have his soul power drained, making it difficult to even maintain the existence of his pet.
However, this was clearly not a problem for Lin Ze.
He glanced at his personal panel, where the number 880 in the Soul Power section was extremely eye-catching.
This soul power is even higher than that of some bronze beast tamers.
It is far ahead of its peers.
"This soul technique suits me quite well."
Lin Ze quickly made a decision and chose Soul Guardian as his first Soul Technique.
He acted on his idea immediately and began to carefully peruse the documents.
More than ten minutes later.
Lin Ze had already memorized the methods and techniques for repairing the Soul Guardian chain.
Then.
He summoned the panel, looked closely, and was pleasantly surprised to find that a new soul technique had been added to it.
[Soul Guardian (Beginner), requires 50 achievement points to upgrade]
"As expected, the system also works on soul techniques!"
Lin Ze was overjoyed.
With the help of the system, he can quickly master a large number of soul techniques.
Unlike ordinary beast tamers, they do not need to spend a lot of time and energy repairing chains.
Without hesitation, Lin Ze decisively spent 50 achievement points to upgrade his Soul Technique.
The text on the panel changed instantly.
[Soul Guardian (Level 1), requires 100 Achievement Points to upgrade]
Before Lin Ze could recover from his joy, a mechanical notification suddenly appeared in his mind.
[Achievement accomplished!]
[First Soul Technique]: Successfully mastering any one Soul Technique will earn you 100 achievement points (achieved, reward to be claimed).
Lin Ze's lips curled slightly.
Over this period of time, he has gradually figured out the patterns of achieving success.
Basically, any action related to beast taming, including contracting pets, practicing the Soul Chain Technique, and controlling pets in battle, will yield corresponding achievements.
Suddenly.
Lin Ze suddenly thought of something.
"Speaking of which, since there are corresponding achievements for the number of times a pet releases a skill, there should also be corresponding achievements for soul techniques."
Lin Ze thought about it more and more and it made more sense, so he immediately put it into practice without saying a word.
With a slight thought, a transparent light shield emitting a faint glow materialized out of thin air and enveloped his entire body.
The light shield is as thin as a cicada's wing, yet it unexpectedly exudes an indestructible texture.
"The basic cost is 10 points of soul power."
Lin Ze glanced at the panel, canceled the soul spell, and then cast it again.
The cycle repeats itself.
With a soul power of up to 880, he can unleash Soul Guardian 88 times.
As it turned out, Lin Ze's guess was correct.
As expected, the familiar notification sounded in his mind when he released Soul Guard for the 10th time.
[Achievement accomplished!]
[Soul Arts - Beginner]: Accumulate 10 Soul Arts casts to achieve the achievement and receive 100 achievement points and 1 Soul Replenishing Potion (achieved, reward to be claimed).
"As expected, I knew it."
A look of joy appeared on Lin Ze's face.
It is obvious.
There are corresponding achievements for the number of times Soul Arts and Pet Skills can be used.
Moreover, judging from the textual description, the achievement is clearly not just one, but most likely a series of achievements.
Once the number of releases reaches a new threshold, you'll most likely activate the second achievement in the same series.
Lin Ze was filled with joy.
Achievement points are the key to rapidly improving your strength.
Before that, however, he relied more on luck to gain achievement points.
After all, we don't know what achievements the system has.
But things are different now.
After verifying his hypothesis, he had a preliminary idea of how to obtain achievement points.
Putting aside other things, there is a lot of room for exploration in the achievement series of Soul Arts and Pet Skills.
After a long while, Lin Ze calmed down his inner turmoil and continued to look at "The Complete Book of Basic Soul Techniques".
After carefully reviewing them, he selected two more soul techniques.
'Soul Arrow' and 'Soul Power Impact'.
Both are offensive soul spells.
The difference is that the former is a single-target attack, while the latter is an area-of-effect attack.
Lin Ze directly consumed 100 achievement points to upgrade both of his soul techniques to level one.
Then I spent another 100 achievement points to upgrade Soul Guardian to level 2.
After all that, the achievement points I had just acquired were all used up.
Lin Ze
[Constitution 5.0 / Soul 8.8]
[Level: Trainee]
[Soul Power: 780/880]
[Soul Arts: Soul Guardian (Tier 2), Soul Arrow (Tier 1), Soul Power Impact (Tier 1)]
[Pet: Ice Crystal Soul]
[Achievement Points: 3]
Lin Ze then checked the Soul-Replenishing Potion reward from the [Soul Arts: Beginner] achievement.
The effect is to instantly restore all soul power.
"A very practical effect."
Lin Ze happily put away the medicine.
Anything produced by our system is guaranteed to be of high quality.
This medicine is like a second life in a critical moment.
Its rarity is self-evident.
Considering that he would need to go to the Beastmaster Association to accept bounty missions later, and might even have to leave the city, Lin Ze suppressed the idea of farming Soul Technique usage counts.
He sent Guan Ning a message telling her that he had to leave first, and then left the school.
After returning home and putting away his books, Lin Ze rushed to the Beast Tamer Association without stopping.
...
About half an hour later.
Lin Ze stepped into the association building.
The bright and spacious lobby on the first floor was bustling with people, and the beast tamers gathered in twos and threes, discussing things in hushed tones.
Many beast tamers were dressed in clothes that allowed for easy movement and carried tactical backpacks, looking like adventurers.
Lin Ze looked around and quickly found his target.
Located at the far end of the lobby, there is a row of neatly arranged self-service kiosks.
Apart from the registration and verification required at the manual counter for entrusting and delivering tasks, inquiries and task acceptance can be done through self-service kiosks.
This greatly saves the beast tamers' time.
Lin Ze quickly walked to an empty self-service machine and turned on the electronic screen.
A dense array of task options popped up instantly above.
According to the regulations of the Beast Tamer Association, trainee Beast Tamers can only accept trainee-level bounty missions (team missions are an exception).
besides.
Bounty missions can be broadly categorized into three main types based on their content.
Hunting and eliminating ferocious beasts (suppression-type).
A collection category for collecting certain materials.
Information-related information such as investigating the situation in a certain area, or exploring a certain ruin, cave, etc.
While collection and intelligence-gathering missions are less dangerous, they are extremely time-consuming.
The opposite applies to those who engage in punitive expeditions.
Of these three types, Lin Ze prefers the more time-efficient subjugation missions.
You can earn enough credits faster.
After setting the filtering criteria, the number of tasks was reduced by more than half.
Lin Ze's spirits lifted, and he began to examine the object carefully.
