As soon as he put the soul bone into the treasure storage, a system notification rang in his mind.
[Second Quest: Counter Attack.
Tang Hao has learned about your 'second awakening' from Yu Xiaogang, and is now determined to get rid of you, a potential threat to Clear Sky Clan.
Task Requirements: (1) Kill Tang Hao, or make him suffer heavy injuries that can incapacitate him for a long time. (2) Steal Ah Yin and resurrect her to prevent the future awakening of Tang San's Blue Silver Empress martial soul. (3) Take away the Blue Silver Empress 100,000-year-old leg soul bone.
Status: Completed!
Rewards: Immortal Herbs (10 pieces), Little Qiankun Creation Pills (10 pieces), Top Martial Soul – Thunder Fire Phoenix Sword.]
Rayne looked at the three rewards of this, rather easy(?) quest.
Ten immortal herbs!
Ten Little Qiankun Creation Pills!
And lastly…
The top martial soul, Thunder-Fire Phoenix Sword!
The ten immortal herbs… Rayne checked the immortal herbs rewarded by the system. All of them were very high-level immortal herbs, and even it's quality was very high. If put in terms of soul beast cultivation, the energy in these immortal herbs are comparable to plant soul beast above 50,000-years-old.
In terms of quality alone, these ten immortal herbs are far superior to the immortal herbs in Ice Fire Yin Yang Well. Of course, it's only compared to this era.
Ten thousand years in the future, the immortal herbs in Ice Fire Yin Yang Well are pretty much 100,000-year-old soul beasts.
Then, Rayne looked at the next reward, the ten Little Qiankun Creation Pills. The little Qiankun creation pill is a lower version of the Qiankun creation pill!
Qiankun Creation Pill, or called Universe Creation Pill.
This pill is one of Rayne's least favorite pill, based on his perspective as an alchemist!
The amount of immortal herbs used for refining one Qiankun creation pill is more than a dozen. The part that makes hardcore alchemists hate this pill is that, all the unique properties of more than dozen miraculous immortal herbs are completely discarded, and only the massive medicinal energy is retained in the refined pill.
The birth of each Immortal herb is a miracle of the world, and the rash usage of these herbs are considered blasphemous to most professional alchemists.
But…
For a knowledgeable spirit master, this pill might be the treasure of their dreams! This is a pill that is solely focused on soul power improvement, and surpasses most of the pills in this aspect!
One ordinary Qiankun creation pill has enough energy to promote a level 90 Titled Douluo to, possibly even level 98 or above. And this is without any side effects or defects in one's foundation, whatsoever!
Just to remind, the energy needed for Titled Douluo to advance even one level is enormous. Just from this, the value of this pill can be imagined.
This is without a doubt, one of, if not, the greatest treasure for soul power upgrade!
The little qiankun creation pill is a divided part of the complete Qiankun creation pill. Even this inferior version has enough energy to promote a level 98 Super Douluo to level 99 Extreme Douluo.
While this pill won't be of any use to him if he was over level forty. Luckily, he is only level 24 right now, so he can benefit from it.
You know, Rayne is currently facing great difficulty in increasing his cultivation level. Even in the third simulated life, Rayne with ten percent of his bloodline awakened, couldn't reach past level 85. And this is despite plundering all the blood energy accumulated in the Slaughter city for almost a million years!
The current Douluo planet simply doesn't have the energy reserves necessary for his improvement.
In his present life, Rayne has complete Infinity Dragon bloodline awakened, and it is still being upgraded to the ultimate version by his Kāma seal.
Despite absorbing two great amount of Asura God's divine energy and Tang Hao's entire level 95 cultivation, Rayne couldn't even get an upgrade of more than ten levels.
Thankfully, Rayne gets a strength improvement sign-in reward from the system every two months, amounting to a total of three levels of soul power every year.
So, Rayne doesn't have to worry about not having enough energy.
…
Rayne decided to use four of the Little Qiankun Creation Pills for himself, and keep the rest for his family.
He still has a fate quest to complete, which requires him to create a powerful organization. Rayne could use these pills to strengthen his family members.
You know, other than his mother, he also has an uncle, and his grandparents from his maternal side. There seems to be no direct relatives from his paternal side.
If he wants to strengthen people and have them be the core of his organization, his family will always be his first choice!
Finally, Rayne looked at a glowing purple bead in his treasure storage.
This is the third reward of the recently completed fate quest.
Top martial soul, Thunder-Fire Phoenix Sword!
This is a dual attributes attack-type tool martial soul, and it greatly focuses on destructive aspects.
This is a unique martial soul, where the soul of a top soul beast Thunder-Fire Phoenix is sealed in the sword!
So, in a sense, this is a two-in-one martial soul. There are similar martial souls, such as the coiling dragon stick martial soul of the enshrinement elders of Spirit Hall. There are also quite a few similar martial souls appearing in the future era.
This is a very good martial soul, but Rayne has no intention on using it for himself.
If not for the sake of nostalgia, even the blue silver grass martial soul would have been discarded by him.
To Rayne, his core source of strength has always been Six Eyes(Super Version), Kāma seal, Infinity Dragon bloodline and his innate techniques of 'Limitless' and 'Shrine'.
(A/N: Since we know the official name now, I'll use 'Shrine' instead of 'Dismantle and Cleave' for the innate technique. So yeah, the fire is also part of protagonist's arsenal now.)
As long as it's not a super cool or fun martial soul, he won't even think of getting another one for himself.
"Well, I'll leave this for mom or sister, depending on the situation." Rayne thought.
After looking through the rewards, Rayne observed his gains of this 'trip'.
His soul power has increased to level 24!
And he also possess two black soul rings, with the age of each amounting up to 25,000+ years old. This is a soul ring condensed to match and withstand his 9-turn energy. So, in terms of quality, this soul ring is pretty much on par with a 100,000-year-old soul ring.
The soul skills of the two soul rings are..
First Soul Skill – Surging Vitality :[Heal oneself and others. Remove/purify negative statuses such as poison, curse, evil/dark corrosive energy, debuffs. In addition, can provide a 50% increase in soul power for five minutes. The improvement increases by 5% for every additional spirit rings.]
Second Soul Skill – Unlimited Stretchable Vine :[Blue Silver Grass can stretch an unlimited distance, as long as the soul power supports it. Can reproduce unlimited number of vines from any part of your blue silver grass. The number of vines depends on your soul power. Has an additional passive effect of having awakened the instincts of blue silver grass.]
These soul skills are pretty nice, although Rayne can replicate the effects of the skills without this particular soul skill.
The first soul skill, Surging Vitality, is a very good soul skill for any spirit master. Rayne also likes the stat boost type skills. In his opinion, only these kind of soul skills have any worth in occupying the soul ring positions. As for offensive or defensive soul skills, it's quite possible to develop them on your own. Unless it's a super impressive soul skills, there is no need to waste a very valuable soul ring position for any mediocre attack/defense soul skills, that will have no value by the time you're past level 70.
The second soul skill, Stretchable Vine! Despite looking rather plain compared to the first soul skill, it is actually a very practical and useful soul skills.
This one soul skill gives him the possibility of using most of the attack soul skills of other plant soul beasts or spirit masters, without wasting any soul ring position.
Most of the plant martial soul's attack soul skills are just manipulating the plant martial souls to make some powerful actions.
Almost all of the plant martial soul spirit masters cannot manually use this seemingly simple skill without soul rings because…
They do not, or, cannot have their martial souls extend or manipulate it as they will, because their martial souls do not have the capability of flexibility like an actual plant soul beast. At the end of the day, they are simply spiritual energy manifestations of your bloodline, but not actual biological creature. So, they cannot use these seemingly simple skills such as entanglement, which should be an instinctive basic skill.
But now, Rayne is capable of this.
Although he didn't have much expectations at the beginning, Rayne is quite satisfied with the soul skills of his blue silver grass martial soul.
…
Then, he looked at the blue silver grass 'bracelet' on his hand. A smile inadvertently appeared on his face.
"Let's begin our days together, shall we?" Rayne smiled in a carefree manner.
Although Ah Yin felt kind of odd about the word 'our', she still cheerily replied.
"Yes, my lord!"
After hearing Ah Yin's reply, Rayne opened a space rift, intending to return to Nuoding Academy.
....
A/N: This chapter doesn't have much plot content, rather somewhat of looking through what level he is at, and his soul skills.
The main plot will start soon, and also the chat group.
So, about the chat group.
Do you guys think it should be an all-girl members chat group with only the protagonist as the male?
Or a proper mix of male and female members?
Honestly, I prefer the balanced one. Douluo world already has a lot of heroine class characters, and the harem will be a bit big. So, if the chat group is also filled with all girls, then the size of the harem might get out of control.
But, what do you guys think? Please let me know.
