Chapter 22: Thoughts on Martial Soul Characteristics, First Soul Skill!
Ma Xiunuo didn't know why, but he felt that Yun Feng's words were somewhat improper, though he had no evidence. However, as the head of a branch hall, he quickly regained his composure. His eyes were filled with excitement as he looked at Yun Feng.
"Hurry, hurry, test the power of your soul skill."
Yun Feng nodded. He also wanted to see the effect of replacing his Purple Blood Vine soul skill with the Sea Thorn Pig's characteristics.
The Sea Thorn Pig was actually the martial soul of a titled Douluo in the Spirit Hall, and its characteristics were poison and expansion. Yun Feng didn't use the poison but focused on the expansion characteristic. By doubling the size of his Blue Silver Grass, he aimed to achieve an overwhelming effect.
After receiving the reward from Tang San last time, Yun Feng had been pondering deeply. As a fan of online games, he had considered many styles. To Yun Feng, the power system of the Douluo Continent was like a game. Naturally, in a game, skill combinations were important.
He thought about various styles like bleeding, kiting, torture, and burst. With the reward of modifying soul ring effects, he could achieve any of these. He even considered a spreading style, using Blue Silver Grass as a pathogen to continuously infect. But he ultimately abandoned that idea.
He still cared about many things and didn't want to do something so insane. After much thought, Yun Feng decided on his path: to prove his strength through overwhelming power. He wanted his Blue Silver Grass to grow so large it could cover the entire world!
With this in mind, Yun Feng summoned his Blue Silver Grass. Ten huge vines attacked a distant ancient tree. With the added potential energy, the tree disappeared instantly, leaving wide cracks in the ground. The loud boom echoed through the forest.
"Boom——————"
Seeing this, Ma Xiunuo was speechless. Was this really the power of Blue Silver Grass? That strike could probably defeat a high-level soul master! It was terrifying! There was no technique, just pure power!
After retracting his martial soul, Yun Feng felt that his soul power consumption had reached nearly one-tenth. He frowned slightly. The power was great, but the soul power consumption was also significant.
"Ah-hem."
As Yun Feng pondered this, he heard Ma Xiunuo's cough and looked over instinctively.
"Master Ma Xiunuo, are you hurt?"
Ma Xiunuo shook his head and became serious, as if he had something important to say. Yun Feng straightened his back unconsciously.
Ma Xiunuo grabbed Yun Feng's shoulder and said seriously, "Xiao Feng, I have something to tell you!"
Yun Feng nodded and asked, "What is it?"
"Have you named your soul skill yet?"
Yun Feng almost couldn't hold back his laughter. What kind of question was that? But Ma Xiunuo explained, a bit embarrassed, "Your theory succeeded, and although the process was complicated, it's a significant event on the continent. Your achievements will be recorded, so…"
Yun Feng understood Ma Xiunuo's meaning and smiled, "Master Ma Xiunuo, I'm not good at naming. Could you help me name my first soul skill?"
Ma Xiunuo immediately became excited. Although it was just a simple naming right, for an elder, it was a way to leave his name on the continent. Who wouldn't want to be remembered in history?
"Sure, sure, I'll give Xiao Feng the coolest and most impressive soul skill name!"
Yun Feng smiled wryly, not knowing what to say. Although he looked like a child, he wasn't really a child. If he had a belt now, he might instinctively perform a combo and shout a transformation phrase. He was a typical example of someone whose actions didn't match their words.
Yun Feng cared about Ma Xiunuo's naming. He wanted to see what name Ma Xiunuo would come up with for his unremarkable soul skill.
After some thought, Ma Xiunuo excitedly said, "Xiao Feng, your first soul skill will be called this!"
"Your soul skill is big and long, so let's call it Giant Root Whip!"
Yun Feng was puzzled. Why did it sound strange? But seeing Ma Xiunuo's wrinkled, smiling face, he reluctantly agreed. Although it was odd, it was fitting!
"Alright, thank you, Master Ma Xiunuo!"
After Yun Feng thanked him, Ma Xiunuo, feeling proud, said a few more words.
"Xiao Feng, do you have any plans for the future?"
Yun Feng knew Ma Xiunuo's question might not be straightforward, but he pretended not to understand and said, "No, I'll continue training at the academy and researching my martial soul. I don't want to stop here!"
Ma Xiunuo was generally satisfied with Yun Feng's answer. Knowing Yun Feng had no other plans, he was relieved. He genuinely liked this child.
Although the Spirit Hall was seen as a righteous institution by many, as a member, Ma Xiunuo knew it had its dark side. Every major power had its necessary evils, like eliminating potential threats early.
But Yun Feng was now a member of the Spirit Hall. Although he had no intention of joining the main hall, at least he hadn't left. Yun Feng also realized the world's rules. Without power, it was hard to move forward. Unlike Tang San in the original story, who had many benefactors and protectors, Yun Feng had nothing and had to be extra cautious.
So he didn't directly respond to Ma Xiunuo's question.
