Sword Master Hero System

Chapter 6 Soul of the Ice Phoenix

"You … you slashed me?!"

After a while, Miley finally woke up. Her pretty face was full of disbelief. Her beautiful eyes were filled with anger as she glared fiercely at David.

"I've already slashed you. What do you want to do? "Don't worry, I won't take responsibility for you. "

David had a ruthless look on his face.

Just now, he had used the God's Saber that he had just obtained.

The God's Saber was a one-time consumable item. It could also be called the Duplication Saber. When the God's Saber slashed the opponent, it would not cause any harm. Instead, it could duplicate the Martial Soul of the Soul Master and obtain a talent.

David only knew this after slashing Miley …

He ignored the frantic Miley and quietly sat down cross-legged. He meditated to recover his Soul Power while quietly checking the ability that he had just obtained!

[Ding dong ~]

[Duplication successful. Congratulations on obtaining: Soul of the Ice Phoenix]

[Unlocked new talent: Ice Saber]

A series of notifications sounded in his mind.

David's was overjoyed and quickly checked his current attributes.

[Talent: Ice Saber]

After using a God's Saber that was given when he leveled up, he successfully duplicated Miley's top Martial Soul — the Ice Phoenix. He also unlocked an ice talent.

This trip to the Soul Beast Forest was fruitful!

David was a little excited and looked down.

He saw a lifelike Ice Phoenix quietly floating in his dantian. Its eyes were closed, and its posture was arrogant. Its blue feathers exuded a holy light. It was incomparably noble and extraordinary.

Martial Soul!

I didn't expect to have a Martial Soul either!

David stared at the dormant Ice Phoenix within his body with incomparable excitement. He mobilized his soulforce and impatiently tried out the might of his Ice Phoenix martial soul!

"Come out, Ice Phoenix!"

He muttered to himself as he began to summon the Ice Phoenix martial soul within his body.

However, no matter how David tried to summon his Martial Soul, the Ice Phoenix in his body remained in a deep slumber with its eyes closed. It did not respond to David's summons.

"What's going on?!"

David furrowed his brows and looked confused. He didn't know what was wrong with this Martial Soul Duplication.

"Hey, that person over there, why are you laughing like a fool and sighing? What bad things are you thinking about?"

Miley's blue hair cascaded down her back. She took small steps forward, bringing along a fragrant wind as she walked in front of David. She placed her hands on her waist and looked at the latter suspiciously.

Ever since she was inexplicably slashed by David, her good impression of David had completely vanished.

Although she had carefully checked her body afterward and found that not a single strand of hair had fallen off, the resentment in her heart could not dissipate.

"No matter what, this guy really slashed me with a blade!"

Miley's lips curled up slightly as she glared fiercely at David.

"Tch …"

David curled his lips and glanced at Miley. He was annoyed by the girl's quarrel and had the urge to slash her again.

"Roar! Roar! "

Just as the two of them were feeling a little unhappy, a black figure suddenly rushed out of the grass. A powerful roar rolled out, causing the land to suddenly tremble.

It was a Sinister Dark Demon Tiger. Its eyes were scarlet, and its body was huge. It was like a small mountain standing in the middle of the forest. A terrifying aura spread out wildly!

"A five-hundred-year-old soul beast!!"

David's expression froze when he saw the Sinister Dark Demon Tiger that suddenly jumped out. His expression instantly turned serious.

A five-hundred-year-old Sinister Dark Demon Tiger's strength was equivalent to a Soul Grandmaster above Rank 25. If they were to fight head-on, David, who was only at Rank 11, would find it difficult to defeat this Sinister Dark Demon Tiger!

He might even die under the tiger's jaws …

"Oh no, what should we do?!"

Miley's face was pale as she leaned on David's back in fear. If she was in her peak condition, she would be able to deal with this Sinister Dark Demon Tiger in a single blow. But right now, her soul power has not recovered and she has almost no fighting ability.

"What else can we do? We can only fight!"

David's eyes were filled with determination as he coldly locked onto the Sinister Dark Demon Tiger. His essence, energy, and spirit were one as the soul power in his body circulated rapidly. His slender and powerful fingers reached for the long blade at his waist.

His body bent into the shape of a bow. His left hand held onto the scabbard while his right hand held onto the hilt. His strength erupted like a volcano and shot towards the Sinister Dark Demon Tiger like an arrow released from a bow.

When he was within a meter of the Sinister Dark Demon Tiger, David finally unsheathed his blade!

The moment the long blade was unsheathed, the Ice Phoenix that had been sleeping in his body suddenly opened its eyes. An ice-cold light burst out from its eyes as it instantly woke up!

"This … this is …"

David felt the abnormal movement of his Martial Soul and was startled. He could only feel a terrifying icy energy continuously surging out from the Ice Phoenix's body.

In an instant, a thick layer of frost condensed on the surface of the originally ordinary long blade, emitting a terrifying chill that could freeze the heavens and earth!

"Blade of Frost!"

An ice-blue long blade cut through the void and forcefully slashed through the Sinister Dark Demon Tiger's body!

"Aooo …"

The Sinister Dark Demon Tiger let out a mournful roar as its huge body rapidly froze. In just a moment, it actually turned into an ice-blue ice sculpture and was directly frozen.

"Bang!"

The moment David sheathed his blade, the Sinister Dark Demon Tiger's ice sculpture suddenly exploded!

A 500-year-old Sinister Dark Demon Tiger was instantly smashed into pieces!

"So … so strong!"

Miley looked at this scene in shock. Just one blade was enough to instantly kill a 500-year-old soul beast. In her eyes, David was becoming more and more mysterious.

First, he killed Ethan with a single blade. Now, he killed a 500-year-old soul beast with a single blade. During this time, he didn't even reveal his Martial Soul or Soul Ring. Just where did this guy come from?!

Not only Miley, but even David himself was a little surprised!

He didn't expect that the Blade of Frost that was drawn with the help of the Ice Phoenix's Soul would be so powerful that it could actually kill the Sinister Dark Demon Tiger!

David was extremely shocked, but at the same time, his heart was surging with ecstasy.

At this moment, he finally understood that this Martial Soul Duplication wasn't like a normal Martial Soul that could be used as a weapon. Instead, it was used to strengthen the Drawing Technique!

The Martial Soul Duplication's state of existence was similar to … an Artifact Spirit!

That's right, the Martial Soul Duplication was to inject soul and life into an ordinary blade, thereby greatly strengthening the power of the Drawing Technique!

The sword-drawing system, no matter when or where, naturally pursued the impeccable ultimate sword-drawing technique!

David couldn't help but nod his head seriously.

"Buzz ~"

In the next moment, a yellow Soul Ring appeared out of thin air, emitting an alluring light.

As his gaze swept across this 500-year- old yellow soul ring, David's eyes suddenly burst with a blazing light as a trace of desire surged into his heart.

I wonder if my Martial Soul Duplication can absorb Soul Rings …

 "I failed …"

David looked at the gradually dissipating yellow soul ring and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

After killing a soul beast, it would drop a soul ring, and the soul ring would last for an hour. Within this hour, no matter how unwilling David was, he couldn't absorb this soul ring.

In the end, he could only watch as the soul ring disappeared with the passage of time …

"Looks like I was too greedy. I already have a copy martial soul that can strengthen the Drawing Technique, yet I still want to absorb a soul ring. A man who is never content is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant …"

David comforted himself like this. He really wasn't some idiot with a million-year-old soul ring!

Although it was a pity that he couldn't absorb a soul ring, killing a five-hundred-year-old soul beast with a single slash was enough to increase his strength by a lot.

The only drawback was that it consumed too much soul power!

Just now, when he used the Ice Phoenix soul to swing the Frost Blade, it directly consumed more than half of David's soul power. He felt that with his current rank 11 soul power, he could only use it twice at most!

After further research, David gradually understood the characteristics of this copy martial soul.

Copy martial soul's flaws:

1: Unable to materialize.

2: Unable to release.

3: Unable to absorb soul ring.

… …

Copy martial soul's advantages:

1: Can greatly strengthen the power of the Drawing Technique.

2: Can copy multiple martial souls.

3: Seems to be able to upgrade (upgrade method currently unknown)

… …

This copy martial soul was very different from a normal martial soul. Firstly, it couldn't be used at will, and it couldn't be used like a weapon in battle.

Instead, it existed in the form of a weapon spirit, providing special attributes to the blade.

In conclusion, this was an ability to strengthen the Drawing Technique!

… …

Time passed quietly, and unknowingly, it was already dusk.

The sky gradually darkened, and in the distant horizon, the sun had already set. The fiery red sunset connected together, marking the end of the day.

A black-haired youth walked out of the Jade Star Forest and rushed towards Jade Summit City.

When the sky was completely dark, the youth finally arrived at the imperial capital of the Jade Summit Empire — Jade Summit City!
