Chapter 7: Excellent Value! Target: The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!
I don't know if it's because of the martial spirit or something else.
The impact of the spirit rings was like a millstone, grinding away at his spirit.
Slow and steady, repeating itself endlessly.
The spirit oscillates between destruction and restoration.
Each time he recovered, his mental strength increased by a fraction.
But the pain is thousands of times greater.
Gu An gritted his teeth, and blood trickled down the corner of his mouth.
My body was trembling uncontrollably.
If he were in the same state he was in when he first transmigrated, he would definitely not have survived this level of pain.
When have we ever suffered like this in peacetime?
But the hardships of those years have tempered his will.
Even though Gu An's breathing was rapid and disordered, and his chest heaved violently.
His back remained straight, swaying precariously, yet he did not fall.
Time passed by, second by second.
The light in the forest grew dimmer.
The black spirit ring around Gu An's body was slowly merging into his body.
Finally, the soul ring absorption was completed.
Leng Yaozhu finally let out a long breath.
Even her usually composed face couldn't hide the joy that she couldn't conceal.
"Xiao An succeeded! I knew I hadn't misjudged Xiao An!"
After absorbing the spirit ring, Gu An kept his eyes closed.
The wounds on his body are healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The power within him was so abundant that it made him feel somewhat lightheaded.
Gu An opened his eyes.
He looked at his hands, clenched his fists, and felt the fullness of power.
He thought to himself, "Indeed, power is fascinating."
after all.
In this cannibalistic world, weakness is the original sin!
Then, he looked up and around.
My gaze swept across the bluestone, across the campfire, and landed on a shapely figure from behind.
Leng Yaozhu stood with her back to him, seemingly fiddling with something.
She seemed to sense Gu An's gaze, turned around, and smiled.
"Xiao An, you're finally awake."
Looking at her smiling face, Gu An recalled the pain he had just experienced, and his teeth began to itch.
He spoke through gritted teeth.
"Is this what you call a little bit of hardship?"
Leng Yaozhu blinked her beautiful eyes, her expression utterly innocent.
"Yeah, just a tiny bit."
She stretched out her thumb and forefinger, making a very small gap.
"You persevered, didn't you?"
After saying that, she immediately changed the subject.
He took out several skewers of grilled meat from behind his back and waved them in front of Gu An.
"Come, come, your sister has made you something delicious. Are you hungry?"
Trying to change the subject, huh?
Gu An rolled his eyes inwardly.
But his stomach did indeed let out a growl.
Gu An no longer stood on ceremony.
He snatched the meat skewer from Leng Yaozhu's hand and stuffed it into his mouth like a hungry wolf.
The meat was roasted to perfection, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and sprinkled with some unknown spice, the aroma of which wafted straight into my nose.
Gu An ate fiercely, his cheeks puffed out like a hamster.
Leng Yaozhu sat down opposite him, propped her chin on one hand, tilted her head, and stared at Gu An with a strange look in her eyes.
The look in his eyes... how to put it?
It looked like they were examining something interesting.
Gu An felt uncomfortable under her gaze, swallowed the meat in his mouth, and glared at her.
"What are you looking at?"
Leng Yaozhu smiled, a mischievous glint in her eyes.
"For your age, you're quite well-off."
"But that's not enough."
Gu An paused for a moment, then looked down at it.
At a glance.
His clothes were torn into strips by the energy that overflowed from his body when he absorbed the soul ring.
We're basically in a state where wearing something is the same as not wearing anything at all.
Gu An's face flushed red instantly.
Why didn't you say so sooner!
Even a humble father has his pride!
Leng Yaozhu suppressed a laugh and took out a set of clean clothes from her storage soul tool and handed them over.
Gu An grabbed it and quickly put it on.
He only noticed something while getting dressed.
My body has grown bigger.
The body that was originally six years old now looks like that of an eight or nine-year-old.
His arms and legs have grown longer, and his shoulders have broadened as well.
Gu An understood that this was a unique method in Douluo Continent that enhanced soul power and strengthened the body.
This is what is known as precocious development.
Absorbing the life force from a spirit ring will cause the body's appearance to develop prematurely.
However, it's just a change in appearance; the bone age remains the same—six years old is six years old.
He stood up, stretched his new body, and took a few seconds to adjust.
"Now that we have obtained a Martial Soul, the next plan can proceed as scheduled."
Gu An raised his right hand.
On his palm, a miniature version of the Azure Blade Falcon appeared.
It's only the size of a palm, with dark blue feathers, a silver-gray beak, slightly folded wings, and lively eyes.
Leng Yaozhu's gaze fell on the blue-bladed falcon, her expression unchanged.
"Looks like you've gained quite a bit from your first soul skill?"
Gu An grinned.
"It truly lives up to its reputation as a ten-thousand-year-old spirit ring!"
Gu An smiled with satisfaction.
How could a 30,000-year-old soul beast not reap a great reward?
Then all the suffering he endured was for nothing.
He didn't intend to hide it from Leng Yaozhu.
He raised his hand, cradling the Azure Blade Falcon's spirit in his palm, and spoke.
"My first soul skill is called Whispering Melody."
Leng Yaozhu raised her eyebrows slightly, listening attentively.
Although she knew she wouldn't betray Gu An, Gu An also knew that.
But telling himself directly made her feel better.
"The melody played by the first soul skill can be transformed into a sharp slash at any time, causing tearing damage."
"At the same time, the music will slow down enemies within range by 10%."
"It works very well for both single and group use."
Gu An paused for a moment, then added a sentence.
"As strength increases, the power and number of violent slashes formed by the rhythm will increase, and the slowing effect will also be enhanced."
Upon hearing this, Leng Yaozhu's expression changed from serious to joyful; the corners of her mouth turned up, and her eyes shone brightly.
From this description, she had already judged the value of this soul skill.
The notes played.
This thing is impossible to defend against.
The enemy was in the middle of a fight when suddenly a slash appeared beside me, and I had no way to dodge it.
It's too yin.
Moreover, there is a 10% reduction in speed.
An offensive martial soul, yet it was forcibly imbued with support and control abilities.
The deceleration effect can be amplified as strength increases.
It's so gloomy.
Leng Yaozhu felt increasingly satisfied as she thought about it, crossing her arms over her chest and raising her chin slightly.
"Tsk tsk, see? Your sister didn't do anything to you."
"This is excellent value for money."
Gu An rolled his eyes, but he didn't deny it.
It is definitely great value for money.
He retracted the Azure Blade Falcon into his body, sensed the flow of his soul power, and then looked up at Leng Yaozhu.
"By the way, Sister Yaozhu, do you know where the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is located?"
Upon hearing this, Leng Yaozhu's smile faded slightly, and her eyes became serious.
She immediately understood what Gu An wanted to do.
"You want to use the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to establish an academy?"
Gu An nodded.
"Sister Yaozhu understands me best."
"That's right."
"Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has lost its former glory after ten thousand years, it is still the number one auxiliary martial soul on the continent."
"And he is richer than a country."
"They are the most suitable people to contact."
Gu An paused for a moment, then added casually.
"If they disagree, then we'll have no choice but to rob the rich to help the poor."
He spoke these words casually, showing no regard whatsoever for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
