Chapter 11 The Choice of the First Soul Ring
Amon finished his training and let out a breath. His soul power increased by one level and returned to level 12.
Move your body to relax the stiff muscles caused by holding one position for a long time.
"Amon, I'm at level ten."
The door opened with a bang, and Yan Jin ran in excitedly and shouted.
She was very excited. At the tenth level, she could hunt for soul rings and become a true soul master. This was a qualitative leap. More importantly, after becoming a soul master, she could go to the Spirit Hall to receive living allowances every month!
If she had had this qualification before, she wouldn't have to be so tired, and she wouldn't be slowed down by the various chores in life.
"Oh, congratulations then. I have already decided on the goal of your first soul ring for you."
Amon said as he took down a book from the shelf.
"Of course, I just suggest that if you have different opinions, you can follow your own ideas."
Yan Jin touched his head and said, "Huh? Is there any other way to choose a soul beast? Aren't you going to use whatever you hunt?"
"Use whatever soul beast you hunt..." Amon smiled, "That is indeed the current situation of most civilian soul masters. They have no one to protect them, and they have no qualifications to choose. They can only rely on luck.
But don’t we have the help of Ms. Ma Wen? She will provide help when we need the first and second soul rings. In fact, this is the most important part of the agreement. "
"Then tell me, which soul beast is more suitable for my first soul ring?"
Yan Jin's eyes lit up. Of course, some choices are the best. Soul skills can be said to be the most important part of a soul master's combat effectiveness.
"That's it." Amon turned the book to the corresponding page.
Yan Jin glanced at it twice, then asked in surprise and doubt: "Slime?"
"Yes."
"Is this kind of soul beast really possible?"
Yan Jin doesn't like to learn theoretical knowledge, but he still knows the basic principles.
"Shouldn't the soul beasts we hunt should be as powerful as possible? Only powerful soul beasts can provide powerful soul skills."
"This statement has some truth and is in line with objective laws, but in battle you do not rely on powerful attack skills to win. Some auxiliary abilities can allow you to perform better." Amon pinched the single chip Glasses, explained.
“I have reviewed a lot of information and they have verified my conjecture to a certain extent.
"The soul skills obtained by a soul master when hunting soul beasts are not completely random, but imply certain rules. I guess there are three factors that affect the effect of the final soul skill.
"The first is the characteristics of martial souls. Soul skills are attached to martial souls. The same soul ring attached to different martial souls will produce different soul skills.
“The second is the type of soul beast, which goes without saying much.
"The third point is the soul master's personal wish, and the third point is my speculation, but the possibility is very high.
"When the characteristics of the soul weapon, the type of soul beast, and the soul master's own personal wishes all match, there is a very high probability that the soul skill finally obtained will be consistent with the soul master's expectations."
Yan Jin listened for a long time, and finally shook his head in confusion, "I don't quite understand."
Amon had no choice but to continue explaining, "For example, a certain soul master's martial soul is a sword. He expected to obtain a soul skill to make his sword sharper, and then he hunted a 'sword fighting beast' .
“Well, it’s a spirit beast that looks like a baboon, has metal blades on its arms, and has powerful melee capabilities.
"The soul master longs for 'sharpness', the sword spirit can carry 'sharpness', and the arms of the sword fighting beast also have the characteristic of 'sharpness'.
"The three elements converge. In the end, the soul skill obtained by this soul master will most likely have the 'sharp' effect he expected."
Yan Jin's little face was full of earnestness and solemnity, and she nodded from time to time to show that she was listening attentively.
Amon pointed to the slime picture in the book and said:
"Your martial soul is magma, and you can inject soul power to create a large amount of magma, which has extremely strong destructive power.
"But you can't freely control the magma you create. You can only let it spread. No matter how powerful the destructive power is, it won't hit anyone.
"So you need a soul skill that allows you to control the shape of magma. You can accurately control the martial soul and change the flow direction and shape of the magma according to your own will.
“It may not be as effective as a powerful attack skill in the short term, but in the long run, this will last you a lifetime.
"You have to know that low-level attack skills are often useless in the battles of high-level soul masters. Powerful soul masters rarely use the soul skills they acquired when they were weak in combat, because these skills have already been If you can't keep up with them, you will fall behind.
"In the future, you may become a Contra, or even a Titled Douluo, but 'form control' will never be eliminated.
"Slime is a kind of soul beast with fluid characteristics. They are liquid and can freely control their shape, which meets your needs.
"You need to "control the form." Magma is fluid and can be "controlled into form." Slime can "control form" independently. The three factors are consistent, so slime is a good choice for you.
"In addition, there is a very important point. Although Ma Wen promised to provide us with help, this help is limited. She will not spend too many resources on this. We cannot ask her to help us find a A rare soul beast that matches the year you absorbed your first soul ring.”
Yan Jin nodded seriously, "I completely understand... In short, I have to hunt down the slime, and when absorbing the soul ring, I have the idea of obtaining its ability to 'control the form', right?"
"That's right."
"But isn't the slime a water-attributed soul beast? Will it conflict with the magma?"
"That's the problem. You need a mutated fire-attributed slime. Slime is a very common low-level soul beast. Precisely because of their weakness, mutation is a very common phenomenon in their group. If a slime group can't find a few slimes of other attributes, that's abnormal!" Amon closed the book and put it back on the shelf.
"It takes time to find soul beasts. Please wait patiently. I will negotiate with Ma Wen and ask her to send someone to find a fire-attributed slime that meets our needs."
Yan Jin nodded. Although he wanted to hunt the soul beast immediately to get the soul ring, he also knew that he couldn't rush this matter. He needed to do a lot of preparation. Hunting soul beasts is a dangerous thing. If you are not careful, you may lose your life.
...
Ma Wen frowned after hearing Amon's request, "Fire attribute slime? Are you sure you want to use this kind of rubbish soul beast? It is hard to find and can't get any powerful soul skills. I can send a soul master to help you hunt it, so you don't have to worry about the soul beast being too powerful to kill. I recommend Chocobo or Flame Frog."
Amon shook his head, "We have our own considerations, this is the result of careful consideration."
Ma Wen pondered for a moment and nodded, "You can control it yourself. I will send someone to find the target and notify you after determining the approximate location."
"Then I'll trouble you, Ms. Ma Wen." Amon bowed slightly.
