章節 239: Chapter 239: Substitute Puppet, Dugu Yan's Soul Skill Changes
Meanwhile, in the Heaven Dou Palace, Qian Renxue also received a divine spirit ring as part of the live stream rewards. However, since she was already a level 76 Soul Saint, she had to wait until she became a Soul Douluo to absorb it. By then, she planned to absorb two inherited spirit bones to strengthen her body, aiming for her eighth ring to be a 100,000-year spirit ring. With the boost from the spirit bones, she believed her level could directly rise to 85.
As for Ah Yin, her reward was a slight increase in her life attribute, while Liu Erlong received a 500-year boost to all her spirit rings. Among all the female protagonists, Liu Erlong's reward was the least impressive.
However, Bo Saixi's reward was much more unique. She stared at a puppet in front of her that looked exactly like her but lacked any sentience or combat ability.
[Substitute Puppet: No combat ability or intelligence. Its only purpose is to transfer the duties of the High Priest, including the sacrifice curse.]
[Note: The user can still exercise their High Priest duties, but all negative side effects of the position will be borne by the puppet.]
Bo Saixi felt the chains binding her soul suddenly vanish. This was her first time receiving a reward, and it was completely unexpected.
Her eyes sparkled. Is this Substitute Puppet useful? Only one way to find out.
Sitting cross-legged, Bo Saixi began to cultivate. After a short while, she noticed a slight increase in her soul power, a small but incredibly significant change, making her so emotional that she nearly cried with joy.
How long had it been since she last felt this? Ten years? Twenty?
Although the increase in her soul power was minimal, it was perfectly reasonable given her current level of 99. Her soul power reserve was already enormous, so cultivating for a brief period wouldn't cause a noticeable change.
Bo Saixi's heart brimmed with curiosity about this system. Who was Su Ming, and how did this system manage to transfer even the curse imposed by the Sea God?
Having tasted the benefits, Bo Saixi instinctively wanted to meet Su Ming, but her inability to move freely left her frustrated.
Oh well, no point in dwelling on it. She calmed herself and focused on her cultivation. Even though she could now cultivate again, breaking through to level 100 would take time. It wasn't just about having enough soul power—enlightenment was key. This breakthrough was largely a matter of luck. If fortune favored her, she could reach enlightenment in a moment; if not, she could be stuck for decades.
The system, in its considerate manner, waited until everyone had received their live stream rewards before releasing today's diary rewards.
[Ding! The female characters mentioned today include Ning Rongrong (3 times), Dugu Yan (5 times), Liu Erlong (2 times), and Qian Renxue (5 times).]
[Therefore, the rewarded female characters are Dugu Yan and Qian Renxue. Please claim your rewards!]
Dugu Yan was surprised. Two rewards in one day? She couldn't help but feel incredibly lucky. With the rewards from the system and what she had learned from Su Ming's diary, she found it impossible to dislike him. But she didn't quite like him either, as her current feelings were directed toward Yu Tianheng, who clearly reciprocated.
Then Dugu Yan saw her reward—Soul Skill Optimization.
[Soul Skill Optimization: The system will automatically improve your current soul skills, making them stronger and more useful.]
Dugu Yan was initially happy but also felt a bit insulted. Were my soul skills really that bad?
System: …
Maybe you should think about that before speaking. The third skill is fine, but the first two are terrible. You call yourself a control-type soul master? (Dugu Yan's skills are quite lacking, so let's fix them.)
Suddenly, Dugu Yan sensed changes within her and was pleasantly surprised. There was no denying that the system's improvements made her soul skills much stronger.
Before the optimization, her soul skills weren't great for control.
Her original first soul skill, Jade Phosphor Red Poison—Excitation Poison, stimulated the nerves, increasing attack power and speed by 20% for herself and her teammates while poisoning her enemies.
Now, her first skill had evolved into Jade Phosphor Illusion Poison, which emitted a red mist that caused enemies to lose themselves in it and become paralyzed by the poison.
Her second soul skill, originally Jade Phosphor Blue Poison—Paralysis Poison, increased her defense by 30% and removed the sensation of pain for her allies, while increasing the potency of her snake venom against enemies.
This had been transformed into Jade Phosphor Venomous Fang, which created swift green snakes based on how much soul power she used. These snakes would bite opponents, injecting poison that caused brief blindness (one second per bite, stacking up to three seconds).
Her third skill, Jade Phosphor Purple Poison, remained largely the same but had become more potent due to her martial spirit evolving into the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor.
The only notable improvement was that her Jade Phosphor Purple Poison was no longer countered by realgar wine.
This left Dugu Yan puzzled. Realgar wine? My poison can be countered by realgar wine? I didn't know that. Grandpa never told me!
However, based on the system's credibility, she believed it. If the system says so, it must be true.
Now, she had a new problem—how to explain the changes in her soul skills to her teacher and teammates. The evolution of her martial spirit was already going to draw attention, but the soul skill changes would be impossible to hide.
Turning to Ye Lingling, Dugu Yan shared her concerns. Two heads were better than one, and though Ye Lingling often had a cold expression, she was sharp and remained calm under pressure.
After thinking for a while, Ye Lingling couldn't come up with a better solution. "Let's just wing it and hope we can fool them. Just act clueless."
"Yan Yan, here's an idea. Tomorrow, tell the teachers that your soul skills changed due to the evolution of your martial spirit. Just say that the evolution caused your skills to become stronger. Whether they believe you or not doesn't matter. When you demonstrate your skills, they'll have no choice but to believe it."
"After all, they don't know the system exists. And historically, it's not uncommon for soul masters' skills to strengthen after a martial spirit evolves. While your changes are more extreme, it should be enough to fool them."
