Chapter 112: Sixth Soul Skill
The sharp ice would always brush against the corners of Gu Han's clothes, smashing holes on the ground and splashing countless ice chips.
While dodging, Gu Han's mental power did not forget to observe the movements of the Black Ice Crane.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up. When the height of the Black Ice Crane dropped below 500 meters, Gu Han instantly consumed 10% of his soul power, and in a flash, he moved above the Black Ice Crane.
The soul power consumed by teleportation would change according to the distance of the movement. This was also one of the reasons why Gu Han rarely used teleportation. The consumption was large. It was okay for short distances, but for long distances, he would have no soul power for subsequent battles after using it two or three times.
However, this soul skill would not have this concern after Soul Saint.
After a Soul Saint opens the martial soul true body, the consumption of the first six soul skills would be greatly reduced during that period, and there would be no cooldown time.
This was also why Soul Saint was the first major dividing line in the soul master world.
Although Gu Han's soul power was very strong, he couldn't withstand the percentage-based consumption of this teleportation skill.
Although he had complained about the disadvantages of this skill many times, he could only accept his fate and hope that it would improve after increasing the age of this soul ring to a certain level.
With the lesson from last time, the Black Ice Crane was also smart. The moment it saw Gu Han disappear, it immediately put away its attack and turned around to spit out a breath from its mouth.
"Hmph!"
Gu Han snorted coldly, and the second soul skill turned from the armor attached to his body into a circular protective shield to block the attack.
At the same time, the third soul ring under Gu Han's feet lit up.
"Third soul skill, Xianlian Aoshi!"
A pure snow-white lotus bloomed, and twelve crystal lotus petals bloomed in the void, instantly turning into twelve sharp swords, cooperating with the power of Xuanshuang Jiuzhan, one sword after another shot at the Black Ice Crane.
"Cri!!"
The Black Ice Crane hurriedly flapped its wings to avoid the incoming giant swords.
The terrifying cold seemed to freeze the air, causing the movements of the Black Ice Crane, which also had the ice attribute, to become sluggish.
It let out a high-pitched cry, and the soul power of its whole body burst out, and a terrifying storm swept around it.
The extreme ice attributes of both sides made the already cold world even more biting, and a thick layer of ice formed on the entire ground and the ice lake.
All the nearby trees turned into crystal-clear ice sculptures, and then were chewed up by the strong wind, turning into sharp ice crystals that swept into the sky.
Facing the flying ice crystals and the terrifying storm, Gu Han's eyes condensed slightly.
While controlling the third soul skill, the Tai Chi sword intent unfolded, and an invisible force field spread with Gu Han as the center, and a Tai Chi phantom appeared in front of him.
The Tai Chi phantom slowly rotated, and the violent air around it seemed to be pulled up by an invisible force, rotating in an orderly manner and no longer able to move forward.
The dancing ice crystals were changed by a gentle yet tenacious force, deviating from their positions and flying in all directions.
Using Tai Chi Sword Intent, Xuanshuang Jiuzhan, and Xianlian Aoshi at the same time consumed a lot of energy, but Gu Han did not show any signs of fatigue due to the strong and condensed soul power in his body.
Each giant sword transformed from a petal contained a terrifying power, especially the ninth sword, which was even more powerful than the ninth sword. Although the power of the subsequent three swords did not increase much individually, it was still higher than the ninth sword.
The power of destroying the world, carrying the true meaning of Tai Chi, directly broke through all the attacks and defenses of the Black Ice Crane and penetrated its body with the force of thunder and lightning.
"Woo~~"
With an unwilling cry, the huge and broken body of the Black Ice Crane fell to the ground.
A powerful soul power condensed on its body and turned into a soul ring emitting black light.
Gu Han landed on the ground and exhaled lightly. After a short breath adjustment, the soul power in his body became calm.
"Pa, pa, pa!!"
A round of applause came into his ears. Gu Han turned his head and saw Qianjun, who had been watching the battlefield, walking toward him with a smile and clapping his hands.
"What a wonderful battle. With only the strength of a level 60 quasi-Soul Emperor, you killed a 37,000-year-old top-grade ice-attribute soul beast. Truly young and promising."
Although he had fought with Gu Han before and knew that the youth's strength was invincible among his peers,
this did not lessen his amazement each time he saw Gu Han display his powerful strength.
"Uncle Qianjun, you're too kind. This Black Ice Spirit Crane was really difficult to deal with. It forced me to use all my methods."
"Indeed, not bad. You know, with the difficulty of this soul beast, even a high-level Soul Saint would have to spend great effort to deal with it."
"Alright, you should adjust your state as soon as possible and absorb the soul ring."
"Okay."
Gu Han nodded. Thanks to the nameless method, his recovery speed was very fast. After a little adjustment, his state was restored.
He didn't hesitate any longer. He sat cross-legged beside the Black Ice Spirit Crane and used his soul power to start drawing the soul ring into himself.
The fusion went very smoothly. The so-called mental attack could basically be ignored by Gu Han, who was already mentally composed and inwardly focused.
Almost like with the previous soul rings, this soul ring was imprinted into the new chapter opened by the nameless method, leaving behind only the soul skill effect.
The soul ring was absorbed very quickly. In less than half an hour, Gu Han slowly opened his eyes.
The aura of his whole body suddenly increased, then quickly subsided.
The excess energy of the Holy Spirit Fruit and the energy brought by the soul ring were released in an instant, and Gu Han smoothly and steadily refined them, raising his soul power level to 65.
"Good boy, the speed at which you're absorbing soul rings is getting faster and faster. What's the sixth soul skill?"
Qianjun praised Gu Han's soul ring absorption speed, then asked curiously about his sixth soul skill.
Hearing this, Gu Han chuckled and said, "Uncle Qianjun, watch closely, I'll show you."
With that, the sixth soul ring under Gu Han's feet lit up. With the flying ability granted by the sixth soul ring, his whole body rushed into the air like a flash of lightning.
At this moment, Gu Han was like a true sword immortal, ethereal and transcendent.
He raised the Xuanshuang Sword high above his head, and a cold light flashed on the blade. Behind him, countless sword shadows shimmering with icy light appeared like stars, exuding a chilling aura like messengers from the underworld, awaiting their master's command.
"Sixth soul skill, Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin!"
Gu Han shouted in a low voice. Though not loud, it echoed through the heavens like a great bell, full of endless majesty and murderous intent.
With that low shout, Gu Han pointed his sword at the lake below.
In an instant, countless sword shadows formed from sword energy fell like a torrential downpour toward the lake.
Each sword shadow carried a bone-chilling coldness. Wherever they passed, the air was instantly frozen, forming blue-white ice traces.
These sword shadows moved with incredible speed, leaving blurred streaks of light in the air, making it almost impossible to track their trajectories.
"Bang, bang, bang!!!"
The sword rain struck the ice lake, creating a dense barrage of impacts.
The surface of the lake was instantly covered by the sword rain, and the ice cracked densely under the violent impact.
In just a short time, the originally calm lake surface was completely transformed. Large areas of ice collapsed, and the surging lake water was quickly frozen by the sword energy's chill, forming strange icebergs.
Under the sunlight, these icebergs sparkled with rainbow-colored light, like a dreamy crystal palace—yet radiating a bone-piercing cold.
Gu Han slowly retracted his soul power and landed steadily on the ground.
There was a faint smile at the corner of his lips, showing his inner satisfaction.
"Uncle Qianjun, my sixth soul skill is Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin. You've seen its effect. It also comes with a flying ability." Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin—
this is the standard move every sword immortal should have.
Gu Han remembered there seemed to be a saying:
A sword immortal who can use Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin may not be strong, but a sword immortal who can't is definitely weak.
Moreover, Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin was the dream skill of many who admired sword immortals.
With one sword raised, ten thousand swords follow.
How dashing and magnificent.
"Not bad. I didn't expect it would even grant you the ability to fly. I wonder how many people will envy you."
Qianjun Douluo nodded slightly, deeply satisfied with the effect of this soul skill.
Especially the flight. You had to understand—aside from martial spirits naturally inclined to flight, most soul masters had to reach Title Douluo level to engage in aerial combat.
This kind of air combat ability was a rare and precious asset for soul masters under level 90 without flying-type martial spirits.
As for Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin, Qianjun thought of the Seven Killing Swords lineage, who typically used this kind of group attack soul skill at the fifth or sixth soul ring.
It was powerful, wide-ranging, and both practical and devastating—on battlefields or in duels.
Gu Han's Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin also came with an extremely terrifying freezing effect, especially when combined with his fifth soul skill.
Thinking of the future scene when Gu Han advanced to a Title Douluo, Qianjun Douluo couldn't help but tremble.
Now, he somewhat understood why the Pope smiled so proudly every time he mentioned his two disciples.
They were simply terrifying.
Thankfully, this child belonged to Spirit Hall. The ones trembling in the future would be the three great sects and the two empires.
But that was all for the future. For now, Spirit Hall's task was to protect these two and ensure they reached full maturity without any mishaps.
This soul hunting was also successfully concluded. The two of them returned to Qinghe Village. The old village chief was still in good health. Before coming, Gu Han specially asked Yue Douluo for a longevity and warming herb.
After eating it, although the old village chief Gu did not return to youth, his spirit was obviously much better, and his legs and feet were no worse than those of some young guys.
After staying in the village for a few days, Gu Han said goodbye to the reluctant old village chief and the villagers and embarked on the journey of growth again.
