Chapter 181 Exploring Domino Soul Skills (2)
Wu Heyi took a deep breath, concentrated his mind, and released a ten-thousand-year soul ring. Then, he carefully drew out a thin wisp of soul power from the soul ring.
He stared intently at the dominoes in front of him, recalling the techniques and the amount of soul power those people had used.
After some observation and thought, he decided to try to use the same method to activate the mysterious dominoes.
Under the curious and expectant gazes of the crowd, Wu Heyi slowly infused the wisp of soul power into the dominoes.
The dominoes trembled slightly and then emitted a faint blue light.
Immediately afterwards, a strange energy fluctuation emanated from the dominoes, and Wu Heyi instantly felt an unfamiliar skill being activated and gradually released outside his body.
This feeling was both familiar and novel to Wu Heyi. It was quite similar to his usual experience when using the Demon Sealing Scroll, but with subtle differences.
When he summons his armor and uses his soul skill, his power usually erupts from within.
However, at this moment, without wearing armor, the soul skill could be released directly outside the body, which was truly amazing.
Just then, Wu Heyi suddenly felt a strange sensation in his shoulder.
He turned his head and was surprised to find that an arm had grown out of nowhere!
However, this arm is not a physical object, but is entirely formed from soul power, making it appear somewhat illusory and lacking in a realistic texture.
Nevertheless, this hand of soul power could still move freely according to his will.
Out of curiosity, Wu Heyi tried to direct the soul-powered hand to bend down and pick up a pebble from the ground.
To his disappointment, the Soul Power Hand was too ethereal to perform this simple action.
Just as he was feeling somewhat frustrated, he suddenly remembered seeing others use this Soul Power Hand and be able to directly touch their Soul Rings.
So, with a try-it-out mentality, Wu Heyi immediately activated his own soul ring and controlled his soul power hand to reach out to it.
To his delight, his Soul Power Hand successfully touched the Soul Ring!
Immediately afterwards, Wu Heyi began to mobilize more soul power and continuously inject it into the mysterious domino.
As soul power continued to pour in, something amazing happened—the originally somewhat illusory energy arm gradually became more and more solid at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Every detail of it becomes clearly discernible, with distinct muscle lines and even lifelike wrinkles at the finger joints, as if they were real. Moreover, it appears hard and glossy, giving it a heavy, substantial feel.
However, just as Wu Heyi was about to further increase his soul power output, he suddenly felt a slight tremor from the dominoes he was holding, accompanied by a powerful counterforce.
This feeling startled him, because he realized that the domino seemed to have reached its limit, and if more soul power were forcibly injected, it might cause an explosion.
But is it because the complex and mysterious patterns on the surface of the dominoes limit the amount of soul power they can bear, or is it because the material of the dominoes themselves is not tough enough?
Wu Heyi also found it difficult to make a clear judgment at the moment.
Left with no other choice, Wu Heyi could only carefully and slowly retract the excess soul power back into his body.
In that instant, the magnificent arm formed from soul power vanished without a trace, like a phantom.
After doing all this, Wu Heyi gently handed the dominoes back to the squad leader who was standing anxiously waiting to the side.
The squad leader happily accepted the dominoes, and when he saw with his own eyes that the dominoes were intact and could freely absorb and release soul power, an uncontrollable smile of joy immediately appeared on his face.
After all, such a magical treasure is undoubtedly of great significance to their team.
On the other side, Wu Heyi was not satisfied. He fell into deep thought, pondering whether there were other ways to release that powerful energy arm without the aid of the domino.
So he began to concentrate his mind, trying to use his control over soul power and his unique cultivation method to achieve this goal.
Time passed second by second, and more than ten minutes had gone by. Although Wu Heyi had done his best, the final conclusion left him feeling somewhat frustrated—no matter how hard he tried, he could not recreate the previous scene on his own.
It seems that to fully understand the mystery, we will probably have to wait until we return to the tribe and consult with the experienced chief.
With this in mind, Wu Heyi temporarily put aside his obsession and decided to complete the current task with his team members first.
Just then, the squad leader's face turned solemn, as if he were going through a fierce internal struggle.
Finally, as if he had made a great decision, he took a deep breath and slowly took a step forward, his steps appearing somewhat heavy.
"That...that...that..." the squad leader stammered, but the words seemed to be stuck in his throat, and he couldn't finish them.
Seeing his hesitant and reluctant manner, Wu He felt a surge of irritation, and even his breathing became labored.
He frowned slightly, waved impatiently at the squad leader, and said loudly:
"Just say what's on your mind, don't be so wishy-washy!"
The squad leader, who had been reprimanded by Wu Heyi, trembled slightly, a look of fear appearing on his face.
But then, he gritted his teeth, took another deep breath, and finally mustered all his courage to blurt out all the questions that had been nagging at him:
"Was that you just summoned the soul halo that you possess?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Heyi, who was initially somewhat annoyed, froze instantly, his mind going blank.
After a long while, he came to his senses and muttered to himself:
"Soul Halo?"
Clearly, Wu Heyi had no idea what the term the squad leader was referring to was.
The squad leader and the others standing opposite him saw Wu Heyi's stunned expression and couldn't help but feel uneasy. They were unsure whether Wu Heyi was genuinely unaware or had already become angry.
It should be understood that on this continent where they live, the rule of the strong is an eternal law.
If one rashly inquires about another's strength or how they acquired it, one may inadvertently anger them and bring about one's own demise.
So at this moment, the squad leader and the others could only wait anxiously for Wu Heyi's response, not daring to utter a sound.
Fortunately, Wu Heyi didn't keep them waiting too long. After a brief moment of thought, he seemed to understand what the squad leader wanted to ask.
Immediately afterwards, Wu Heyi had a thought, and a powerful soul force surged out from his body, instantly enveloping him.
As the light flickered, he slowly raised his left hand. In an instant, a miniature Five Elements Array Plate appeared out of thin air on his left hand, exuding a mysterious and ancient aura.
Shockingly, right below the Five Elements Array Plate, five Soul Rings appeared in succession.
These five spirit rings surround Wu Heyi's martial spirit, each radiating a heart-palpitating energy fluctuation.
Upon seeing this scene, the people present were stunned and speechless.
They stared wide-eyed at the martial spirit and the five spirit rings in Wu Heyi's hand, as if they were witnessing the most incredible sight in the world.
You should know that in their previous understanding, they had never heard of any being that could possess so many soul halos!
What's more, all five rings are black! For these people, the most powerful beings they had ever seen were nothing more than those thousand-year-old soul beasts.
However, even a thousand-year-old soul beast only produces a purple soul ring!
More importantly, hunting a thousand-year-old soul beast is by no means easy. It often requires the entire tribe to mobilize and work together for even a slight chance of success.
Even so, in the fierce battles against the millennium-old soul beasts, it is still inevitable that some people will lose their lives.
At this moment, Wu Heyi looked at the expressions of the people in front of him, a slight smile playing on his lips, and asked softly:
Is this what you're talking about?
Upon hearing his question, the few people who were already at a loss nodded hurriedly, staring at Wu Heyi with awe on their faces, not daring to utter a sound.
In their eyes, Wu Heyi at this moment was like a god descending to earth, carrying endless majesty and mystery.
It's worth mentioning that although these five spirit rings are a rare black color, people here don't consider black to represent evil.
On the contrary, in their land, black is a color that symbolizes nobility, and only the aristocracy is qualified to use this prestigious color.
"This thing is called a Martial Soul."
And that soul halo you're talking about has a special name where we're from: the soul halo.
This spirit ring isn't just any ordinary thing; it's a treasure that can greatly enhance one's personal strength!
Wu Heyi explained to everyone in the simplest and most understandable way possible, while a hint of curiosity shone in his bright eyes. He then posed the question that had been on his mind:
"If it's convenient for everyone, could you also show me your respective martial spirits so I can have a look?"
Upon hearing this, the people present exchanged bewildered glances, their faces filled with confusion and bewilderment. Clearly, they had no idea what Wu Heyi was talking about.
However, despite their doubts, no one dared to admit they didn't understand. As a result, everyone's attention once again focused on the squad leader.
At this moment, the squad leader felt his head buzzing and inwardly groaned.
He wondered to himself why such bad luck always seemed to find him.
Faced with the expectant gazes of the crowd, the squad leader's previously composed face instantly flushed red, and he stammered, "Um... um..."
Wu Heyi was an extremely intelligent man. As soon as he heard the squad leader's hesitant tone, he immediately understood the tension in the other party's mood.
For a moment, the scene became somewhat awkward, as if the air itself had frozen.
Seeing this, Wu Heyi deliberately put on a stern face, pretending to be very angry, and said loudly:
"Hmph! If you keep using 'that' and 'that' to talk to me again, don't even think about speaking to me again!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the squad leader seemed to be greatly frightened, and his whole body trembled violently.
He knew that Wu Heyi was no ordinary person, so he dared not hesitate any longer and quickly changed his words, stammering but with unusual firmness:
"Brother Wu, please calm down."
To be honest, we really know nothing about what a Martial Soul is!
