Douluo Continent: All My Soul Rings are Ten Years Old?

Chapter 3 The System's Unbelievable Power

Inside the room, Xiao Chen exclaimed excitedly, "I knew it! System, you're the best! Hurry up and give me the newbie rewards!"

System: "Ding, newbie rewards are being distributed. The host is granted a second martial soul..."

As the system's voice sounded, Xiao Chen's body suddenly shone with dazzling divine light, and countless holy halos surrounded him, enveloping him in layers.

Golden light flowed and auspicious energy rose. Every inch of Xiao Chen's skin seemed to be soaked in divine power, and his aura was as solemn as a god descending to earth.

Inside the room, Xiao Chen was incredibly excited to see this scene. However, as the light gradually faded, he stared blankly at his second martial soul in his left palm.

Xiao Chen's second martial soul was neither a divine weapon nor a strange beast or spiritual plant, but just a tattered wooden arrow.

The arrow shaft was cracked and the fletching was broken; it looked cheap and ordinary, completely out of place with the sacred scene just now.

However, it is quite compatible with Xiao Chen's original martial soul, the "Broken Wooden Bow".

Xiao Chen was stunned for a while before slowly saying, "System, are you sure you didn't send the wrong message?"

System: "Of course not!"

Xiao Chen "..."

"Damn system, are you deliberately messing with me? This is the unique martial soul you were talking about?" Xiao Chen was utterly speechless.

System: "A wooden bow with wooden arrows, isn't that unique?"

Xiao Chen: "What the hell... System, can you materialize? I want to have a drink with you!"

System: "Host, please calm your emotions. You must understand that there are no useless martial souls, only useless soul masters!"

Xiao Chen: "You damn system, here you go again, huh? You still say you're not Gangzi?"

Xiao Chen was completely at a loss. He really couldn't understand why he had ended up with such a terrible system.

"Host, twin martial souls are extremely rare in this world. Moreover, you can use both of your weapon martial souls simultaneously in battle. Do you understand the value of that?" The system immediately explained when it saw Xiao Chen's low spirits.

Upon hearing this, a glint flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes, but his mood remained low. Using two martial souls simultaneously was indeed quite unusual.

However, the quality of his martial soul was too low, and in addition, he could only absorb ten-year-old soul rings in the future. Let alone completing the ultimate mission, Xiao Chen felt that he probably wouldn't even be able to break through to level 30.

"Gangzi, stop pretending and show yourself!" Xiao Chen was increasingly convinced that the system was Gangzi in disguise.

system"……"

"Host, this system is really not Gangzi."

The system emphasized, then continued, "Host, do you know how well the bow and arrow weapon spirits complement each other? When you release both weapon spirits simultaneously, it's equivalent to performing a weapon spirit fusion skill, understand?"

Hearing this, Xiao Chen finally perked up. "Continue!"

Seeing that Xiao Chen had reacted, the system immediately pressed its advantage, saying, "Besides the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, you can also share Soul Rings, share Soul Skills, and fuse Soul Skills. Isn't that even more awesome than Soul Rings that cost tens of thousands or millions of years?"

"You can do that?" Xiao Chen asked with a hint of surprise. "Tell me more!"

The system immediately explained, "For example, if the host's first soul skill on the wooden bow is 'Brute Force,' after using the 'Brute Force' soul skill to draw the bow, the host can share the 'Brute Force' soul skill with the arrow the moment of release. In this way, the arrow released by the host is equivalent to having 'Brute Force' added twice, and its attack power will double!"

"Not bad, not bad!" Xiao Chen said with a smile. This explanation was pretty much what he had expected.

The system continued, "In the future, as the host acquires more soul skills, you can integrate various soul skills into a single arrow, which is similar to the martial soul fusion technique!"

"Furthermore, although your two martial souls may appear dilapidated, their inner essence has already undergone a qualitative change. As you add spirit rings and develop spirit skills, the form of your martial souls will also change, and their grade will also be upgraded!"

Xiao Chen became happier and happier as he listened, thinking to himself that this damn system had finally handed over the "Burning Technique".

The system then added, "Host, your ultimate mission is to help this world upgrade its status, so you must broaden your perspective!"

"In this world, the higher the age of a spirit ring, the stronger the spirit skill; this is the rule of this world!"

"However, what you're about to do requires breaking through the rules and restrictions of this world, so naturally you can't follow the rules blindly!"

"You must try to break the rules, control the rules, and make the rules; that's the path you must take!"

The system's eloquence was unmatched, and Xiao Chen was incredibly excited listening to these words.

"So what do we do next?" Xiao Chen asked.

The system immediately replied, "Naturally, we'll add a spirit ring to the host's second martial soul, and incidentally raise the host's spirit power to level 20, completing the second spirit rings for both martial souls at the same time!"

"This system will select the most suitable spirit ring for the host, ensuring the host's satisfaction!"

Xiao Chen smiled knowingly upon hearing this, and then asked, "Tell me first, what is the most suitable spirit ring for me right now?"

System: "The first spirit ring on the wooden bow now has the skill of increasing strength, which is a perfect match for the host."

"Therefore, the first spirit ring on the second spirit should ideally increase the arrow's penetrability to enhance attack power; or it could increase resilience to provide a control effect!"

Xiao Chen nodded slightly in agreement.

The system continued, "As for the second spirit ring of the two martial souls, one of the spirit skills must have a 'speed boost' effect. Archers are most afraid of close combat, so speed is crucial!"

Xiao Chen also agreed with this point; speed is definitely one of the best skills for ranged Soul Masters.

"For the other spirit ring, this system has two suggestions. One is 'Flight,' which grants mastery of flight at level 20. This can play a very important role in critical moments; the downside is that it wastes some spirit power and cannot be maintained for a long time!" the system continued.

"What's your second suggestion?" Xiao Chen asked. In his opinion, while flying was good, it would be a waste of a soul skill in the later stages.

Moreover, low-level Soul Masters are easy targets when flying in the air.

"Secondly, it's 'visual perception.' Archers need good vision, or a wide range of mental perception, in order to lock onto the target and hit it accurately!" the system said.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen immediately asked, "Can a ten-year-old soul beast drop this kind of soul ring?"

The system chuckled and said, "Please rest assured, host. The potential of any soul beast is limitless, just as the Blue Silver Emperor can be born from Blue Silver Grass!"

"That makes sense!" Xiao Chen nodded slightly. The more he looked at the system, the more pleasing it became to him.

System: "Host, your expression changes a bit too quickly!"

Xiao Chen's face darkened: "Enough nonsense, let's go hunt soul beasts now!"

System: "No problem, this system will train you along the way, striving to raise your soul power to level 20 before arriving at the Star Dou Great Forest!"

"System, I'm starting to like you!" Xiao Chen said.

"Host, please have some self-respect. This system doesn't like men!" The system conjured up a cute little sprite and said.

Xiao Chen: "..."

"System, I only need a ten-year soul ring, there's no need to go to the Star Dou Great Forest!" Xiao Chen was very clear that the Star Dou Great Forest was extremely dangerous, even the outer areas.

The system chuckled, "The Star Dou Great Forest has a wide variety of soul beasts, making it easier to choose suitable soul rings. Anyway, we won't encounter any danger since we're not going deep into it!"

"Alright, whatever you say!" Xiao Chen nodded, thinking to himself, "Let's just consider this a pre-trip check-in at the Star Dou Great Forest!"
