Chương 26: 26. First Soul Skill
Seeing Xie Yue's puppy eyes, Chenxin also thought about it and simply used a little of his soul pressure to capture it. That bird was frightened, but what could it do? It was already a done deal. Because of Chenxin's instant capturing method, the Emerald Demon Bird didn't get a chance to showcase its talents. Xie Yue was also helpless. Even though Sword Douluo captured it, he kept it for himself. A 100-year-old soul beast is equal to a 20+ level great soul master. So if he gave it to him, Xie Yue would die.
Even though Sword Douluo didn't know what type of soul beast this bird was, he could still guess its age.
They continued walking. Xie Yue thought about what to say; after thinking for a while, he came to a decision... "Grandpa, why don't we find out what soul beast it is?" Xie Yue asked. "I don't know its name. It's my first time seeing this bird. If I have to guess its ability, it must be a speed-type soul beast. But its age is only around 200-250 years." Even though he guessed something using common knowledge, he didn't even think about letting Xie Yue absorb its soul ring. In his opinion, its age was too low.
"Oh~ then grandpa, let it fly. If we let it fly, we can know its ability, right? I want to see it fly. You can catch it again after we see its ability," Xie Yue pleaded again.
"Okay," Sword Douluo said. It was just some childish wish; fulfilling it was not hard for him.
It's just that when he let it fly... in a flash, it disappeared. Xie Yue thought, "Why teleportation ability? Did I remember it wrong? No way." But Sword Douluo's eyes narrowed; only his eyes captured its movements. It was so fast... Extremely fast. Knowing its power, he acted decisively. He used his mental power to scan the whole area, and he too disappeared.
When he appeared again, he had the same green bird in his hand. But on his face, there was astonishment.
"Its speed is faster than most of the 3,000-year-old beasts... What the hell is this beast?" Sword Douluo asked himself loudly.
Without talking nonsense, he said to Xie Yue forcefully, "Moon, forget about raising it. You must absorb its spirit ring." He didn't want Xie Yue to raise this beast in vain. Only if he got its soul ring would it be useful.
Xie Yue still acted like a child... "But grandpa~ I want to keep it as a pet," Xie Yue said, unconvinced. Because of Chenxin's forceful tone, he also showed some tear mist in his eyes.
"Moon~ it's not the time for playing. Grandpa will make it up to you later. First, absorb its soul ring," he said forcefully again.
'Hey... I shouldn't have thought so much. I didn't expect it to be this simple. If I had known, I would have just thrown a stone at this bird. There is no need to waste my acting talent so much,' Xie Yue thought.
If he had made that bird fly earlier, he wouldn't have had to act so much. A simple stone would have been enough to make it fly. Because he was worried about making that bird escape, he had chosen a roundabout way. It was indeed a foolish choice.
'Hehe, but in the end, I still got my bird,' Xie Yue laughed in his heart. He can't always find the best solution for every problem. He is also human; he is not perfect. He will also act stupid sometimes.
"I'll listen to you, grandpa~" Xie Yue said pitifully, crying. He had to finish the act he started.
Chen Xin injured the Emerald Demon Bird and put it in front of Xie Yue. "Moon, kill it and then absorb it using the method I taught you," he said.
Xie Yue summoned his martial soul and slashed its neck while shedding some tears...
He sat cross-legged and started absorbing it. After a while, he finished absorbing it. His height and shoulder size also increased a little bit, but his soul power didn't increase that much—only to level 11. After feeling his first soul ring, his eyes shone brightly... His soul skill name is 'Flash Attack.' A simple name, just like the Emerald Demon Bird's appearance. But the skill is super extraordinary.
- 120% improvement in movement speed while holding the Moon Blade in his hands.
- When the Moon Blade flies, it will have a 150% speed boost.
- 120% improvement in attack power while holding.
- 150% improvement in attack power while flying.
These amplifications will increase with his soul power improvement—2% increase per every soul power level improvement. Absolutely top skill. (AN: It's within the limit of Douluo Settings. Super soul beasts will indeed give this much skill, maybe more than this.)
Xiao Wu's fist soul skill is also an amplification soul skill. But compared to Xiao Wu's first soul skill, Xie Yue's soul skill is better.
Xie Yue knows that compared to the Emerald Demon Bird's bloodline, Xiao Wu's rabbit bloodline is not that strong. Xie Yue also knows the history of the Emerald Demon Bird. It is a terrifying beast. The Emerald Demon Birds once caused a major catastrophe in the ancient world. During those times, an Emerald Demon Bird once fed on a true dragon's brain and continued evolving to become the most terrifying killer of that era.
To avenge the murder of a dragon, the Dragon Clan, which dominated the continent during that era, gathered its forces to massacre the Emerald Demon Birds and annihilated them completely.
Thereafter, the Emerald Demon Birds were exterminated in an operation carried out in the soul beasts' world. They were singled out to be killed under the leadership of a few soul beast kings. Only a few survived the massacre. From then on, the Emerald Demon Birds' threat to the living creatures on the continent was greatly reduced. Even when the birds appeared occasionally, they were extremely cautious and vigilant.
The way Xie Yue killed it may seem easy. But if it wasn't for Sword Douluo, he could only have watched it fly away. A 100-year-old Emerald Demon Bird can fly faster than a 1,000-year-old speed-type bird. And it has the same potential for attack abilities.
