Chapter 3: Everbright Sword
"This is my Martial Soul, the Everbright Sword with the ancient alien beast Suzaku sealed inside?"
Qin Xuan felt excitement coursing through him as he held the long sword. Under the control of his mind, the alien beast Suzaku let out a low cry, circled in the air, and dived into the sword. Injecting his own Soul power into the Martial Soul, he observed the long sword in his hand flashing red, with a red thunder beating.
The first yellow Soul Ring lit up, seamlessly integrating into his consciousness without the need for deliberate memorization. The first Soul Skill was to cut through the sky with a sword. Its attack power and speed instantly increased by 50%, and the attack range expanded with his cultivation level.
Curious to test its power, Qin Xuan casually swung the sword. He didn't know that this stroke would be devastating. The sword light was dazzling, and the Suzaku shot out of the air, transforming into a crescent-shaped slash about 2 meters long, akin to a bloody lightning bolt released from his palm in an instant.
He closed his eyes to shield them from the intense light. Upon opening them again, he saw the ground where the lightning had struck, with a deep groove instantly cut out—about 7 to 8 feet long and more than half a meter deep. Burnt marks adorned both sides of the ditch. At the end, a boulder weighing more than a thousand kilograms was split in two and then exploded.
"Damn...!!!" Qin Xuan's face remained expressionless, but his heart was filled with joy.
How awesome! Worthy of being considered the younger generation of the Spirit Hall, a figure second only to Bibi Dong. With his Soul King cultivation, his first Soul Skill was already so powerful. No wonder he was accepted as a disciple by the two monks who had the sealed ancient evil dragon spirit, the Coiling Dragon Staff. After another 10 or 20 years of hard training, he would become a Titled Douluo. Dealing with Qian Xunji shouldn't be a problem.
He wanted to be able to beat Qian Xunji violently under the same cultivation level. With the bug of the Great Sumeru Hammer, few people were sure they could defeat Tang Hao one-on-one, even with the same level of cultivation. In most cases, victory would still require strategic thinking.
For example, ahem, let's not talk about it. Now that he was being targeted by that old pervert Qian Xunji, it was unknown whether he could survive. He knew how much he weighed. Although his talent was good, without self-created Soul Skills and Soul Bones, it was simply impossible to defeat a Soul Saint or even a Soul Douluo in the Slaughter City without using Soul Skills.
Was he really going to run away? But that would probably make Qian Xunji follow his wishes even more. With that perverted desire for control, he would never tolerate anyone getting involved with Bibi Dong, even if they wanted to. Bibi Dong vowed to protect that trash Yu Xiaogang, but he didn't. 80% of the time he would be called a traitor, and if he sent people to hunt him down, he was afraid that as soon as he stepped forward, they would send people to kill him.
The beginning was hell. How could he live like this? Was it possible that he wanted to go to those two cheap teachers to ask for Soul Bones, or was it to delay his trip to the Slaughter City? Or not go at all? He definitely had to go. Thinking back to Qianjun and Jiangmo, with the temperament of those two people, they would be worried about him. But if he didn't go, he would be expelled from the school on the spot.
For now, the only solution was to ask for Soul Bones, especially the head Soul Bones. Without enough mental support, there was no way to resist the strong murderous aura floating in the air in the Slaughter City.
Just when Qin Xuan was thinking about how to speak to Qianjun and Jiangmo, a sudden female voice sounded in his mind:
[Ding! The system energy was successfully absorbed!]
[Ding! Loading the current world template!]
[Ding! Detecting the presence of living things. Body!]
[Ding! The biological body is being bound!]
[Ding! Binding successful!]
[Ding! The villain system is at your service wholeheartedly!]
[Automatically open the host's personal panel!]
[Name: Qin Xuan]
[Age: 19]
[Martial Spirit: Everbright Sword]
[Cultivation: Level 54]
[Soul Ring Configuration: Yellow, Yellow, Purple, Purple, Black]
[Physical Level: Soul King]
[Psychic Power Level: Soul King]
[Talent: S+]
[Self-Created Soul Skill: None]
[Emotion value: 0]
[Blind box: 0]
Huh? The system is here! Could it be that the God of Time and Space heard my complaints?! I've read too many time travel and rebirth stories. Qin Xuan then made up his mind that if one day he found himself lying in a strange place when he woke up, he would never yell like Yi Xiaochuan in a particular Chinese series, "Are you filming a TV series? The props and scene layout are so realistic!" Such extremely stupid words to seek inner security.
Or yelling after getting a golden finger like a stupid urban novel protagonist. He just looked through the system with his mind as if nothing had happened.
"The villain system is quite novel. Does it trigger a certain event and then get a reward from someone or a certain place?" Qin Xuan guessed in his mind. He found that this so-called villain system was very simple. There was only one system panel, a shopping mall, and a big carousel.
Needless to mention the system panel. You could understand the mall, which had a dazzling array of props, ranging from Soul Rings and elixirs to all kinds of props, and as large as god thrones. Everything except the Soul Bones. It was just that these were auxiliary items that did not directly improve cultivation and strength. It was too far away to not consider things like divine status.
Qin Xuan fell in love with it at first sight with some objects, they were the mask, the [Thousand People and Thousand Faces], the clothes, the [Phoenix Fire], and the [Resurrection Coin].
[Thousands of People, Thousands of Faces] can change the appearance and breath.
[Phoenix Fire] is a piece of clothing with Soul power. It is not stained by dust. It has defensive power when attacked. It can automatically repair after being damaged. It can prevent sword piercing and miasma. You can change the style at will. It also has the effect of disguising Martial Spirits and Soul Rings.
[Resurrection Coin] The host will be resurrected with full health ten minutes after death. At the same time, it can resurrect the dead within one month of death, and the dead target will be 100% loyal to the host.
It goes without saying that the importance of resurrection coins is very important. With [Thousands of People and Thousand Faces] and [Phoenix Fire], he could leave the Spirit Hall. He could wait until Qian Xunji died and then find a way to return. Or maybe not return at all, but be free and start a new life.
Unfortunately, [Thousands of People, Thousands of Faces] costs 10,000 emotional points. [Phoenix Fire] is more expensive, costing 50,000. It's temporarily unavailable.
As for resurrection, 1,000,000 emotions are worth one. This is no longer a question of whether it is expensive or not but simply unaffordable. Even a third-level god has only 5,000,000 emotional points.
The rewards are random. 1,000 emotional points are consumed each time, and the reward is refreshed every two years. It can be drawn up to once per month and can be stacked. You can randomly select Soul Bones, fairy grass, and even pills to improve your cultivation, as well as all kinds of weird and weird techniques. It's just a matter of probability.
Whether it is a shopping mall or a big carousel, emotional points need to be consumed. But, what the hell is this emotional value? Qin Xuan reopened the system panel, fixed his gaze on the last column of 'emotional values', and asked in his heart, "System, how do I get this emotional value?"
"Ding! Just bind to the host. A character who is a grievance. If a grievance is caused by resentment, the emotional value can be obtained."
"The higher the reputation of the antagonist in the original Douluo work, the greater the emotional value gained."
"When a character dies, no more emotional value will be generated."
