Chapter 35 Introspection: New Abilities and Xiao Xiao's Soul Bone Technique

"This power of light... the Child of Light, how could he be the Child of Light?"

While Wang Dong'er was still merging with the Child of Light, Electrolux, who was placed to the side in a small golden hammer, had already been awakened by the aura of light.

Even Electrox, who was once a Child of Light, didn't need much sensing to know that Wang Dong'er had the physique of a Child of Light.

"I never imagined that I would see something familiar one day."

"However... in this way, I can safely pass on my necromancy to her." Electrox made a decision as he sensed the luminous aura emanating from Wang Dong'er.

Electrolux originally only wanted to exchange generous compensation for the repair of his divine consciousness, but now he has decided to pass on his entire mantle to Wang Dong'er.

One Child of Light is enough to prove many things.

Wang Dong'er was unaware of Electrolux's change of heart. At that moment, she only felt warm all over, as if she were being bathed in the warm winter sun.

After a while, the golden light on Wang Dong'er's body gradually faded and disappeared.

"His aura of light is restrained... even stronger than mine back then," Electrox exclaimed.

"Hmm..." Wang Dong'er slowly opened her eyes. Xiao Xiao was still absorbing the soul bone. She didn't know what was going on, but seeing that her breathing was stable and there was no special change, she should be fine.

Now, looking back at herself, Wang Dong'er was surprised to find that she seemed to be able to perform a kind of operation that resembled "internal vision".

However, Wang Dong'er could sense that this was not a special ability brought about by the Child of Light.

Opening the system panel, the information hasn't changed, but an extra line has appeared.

Right below the soul bone, a new line of information appeared.

[Abilities: Suppressing with Luck, Bestowing Luck]

This means that these two abilities are independent of the Martial Soul.

Wang Dong'er quickly understood the function of these two abilities.

Having good fortune is undoubtedly what it sounds like, but its effects aren't immediately noticeable.

Suppressing one's luck can temporarily suppress the luck of a designated object, causing it to suffer misfortune during that period.

However, it can only be used if both Wang Dong'er and the other party are within a certain range, and it can only be used once a month at most. The higher the other party's realm and the stronger their luck, the less impact they will be.

Although there are some limitations and the timeframe is estimated to be short, it is still a means to an end, and it might come in handy in an emergency sometime.

Wang Dong'er couldn't help but glance at Xiao Xiao.

True love! The very first quest I triggered granted me such a powerful conceptual ability.

However, under normal circumstances, Wang Dong'er wouldn't need to use such a technique. But if she encountered a life-or-death crisis, this ability could be considered a divine skill, greatly increasing her chances of survival.

Tomorrow, if I see someone I don't like, I'll unleash my Qi Suppression technique and see how it works.

After checking the new abilities, Xiao Xiao also made a move.

Wang Dong'er looked up and saw a dark light flashing between Xiao Xiao's eyebrows. Anyone who saw it would say, "I see that your forehead is dark."

However, Xiao Xiao's expression remained calm, and her soul power fluctuations were extremely stable, even showing signs of steady increase, indicating that she was about to perfectly fuse with the soul bone.

In just a short while, the dark light between Xiao Xiao's brows slowly dissipated, and Xiao Xiao opened her eyes, her eyes filled with surprise and joy.

Seeing that Wang Dong'er was looking at her, Xiao Xiao leaned closer with a big smile: "Dong'er, guess what kind of soul skill I got?"

Wang Dong'er shook her head; how could she possibly guess that?

"Hehe, although I don't know what kind of soul beast this head bone I fused with belongs to, its soul skill is perfectly compatible with my Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron!" Xiao Xiao said smugly. "I won't beat around the bush with you anymore, my soul bone skill is called the Nine Cauldrons Sealing Yuan Formation!"

"My Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron could originally be divided into three, but this Nine-Cauldron Sealing Formation can divide my three Soul-Suppressing Cauldrons into three more, making a total of nine Soul-Suppressing Cauldrons. It also sets up a Sealing Formation to seal off all enemies within the formation's range, preventing them from escaping and immobilizing them for up to three seconds."

"Most importantly, after setting up the grand formation, I can still move around and unleash soul skills that don't affect it, although it consumes more soul power. I'm starting to suspect that I absorbed a hundred-thousand-year soul bone instead of a ten-thousand-year one!"

Xiao Xiao's excitement was not without reason. The soul skill she obtained could be described as a top-tier crowd control skill, and it did not have any debuffs such as being unable to move or release other soul skills. Although the duration of the immobilization was short, at most only three seconds, even a one-second immobilization time was enough to do a lot of things.

However, what excites Xiao Xiao the most right now is that with this soul skill, she can help Wang Dong'er more in battle.

Being forced to flee alone by that blood-red figure by the shore of Poseidon Lake is a wound that Xiao Xiao can never get over.

"That's great!" Wang Dong'er's eyes lit up after hearing Xiao Xiao's introduction.

Xiao Xiao isn't strong yet, so the effect of this soul skill is only useful in matches.

However, if Xiao Xiao were to become a Title Douluo one day, her role would be much greater.

"But how wide is the range of your soul skill? Can it be expanded in the future?" Wang Dong'er asked the most crucial question.

If it could evolve like Huo Yuhao's mental detection, it would truly be a divine skill. However, even if it cannot evolve, as long as the range is not too small, its effect would still be significant.

"I really wouldn't know unless I tried it," Xiao Xiao said. "Let's try it tomorrow."

"By the way, Dong'er, after absorbing this soul bone, my soul power has reached level nineteen. If I absorb that Soul Ascension Pill, I'll meet the requirements for absorbing my second soul ring. I'm thinking..." Xiao Xiao lowered her head, not letting Wang Dong'er see her flushed face, "I'd like to ask you to come with me..."

"Sure!" Although she found Xiao Xiao's behavior a bit strange, Wang Dong'er readily agreed.

This way, we don't have to randomly pick unlucky ones anymore; we can just try out the new ability "Suppression of Luck" while hunting for souls.

Since it doesn't say it only works on humans, then soul beasts should... be able to too, right?

Xiao Xiao is about to reach level 20. After absorbing the Soul Ascension Pill, Wang Dong'er, even if she can't increase her soul power by two levels, can at least increase it by close to two levels.

Without hesitation, the two of them swallowed the Soul-Ascending Pill, which exuded a life-giving aura.

Electrox, who was emitting a faint light from the small golden hammer, thought: ...Why do I suddenly feel a little reluctant to take on apprentices?

……

As dawn broke, Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao simultaneously awoke from their meditation and exchanged a knowing smile.

At this moment, Xiao Xiao's aura was already at level 20 soul power, while Wang Dong'er's was at level 26.

Wang Dong'er had already reached level 24, and this Soul-Upgrading Pill boosted her soul power by nearly two levels, allowing her to break through to level 26 in one fell swoop.
