When he came to the shore, Xu Ran lay on the snow in a big shape, greedily breathing the oxygen around him.

Although his upper body was covered with scars at the moment, and he was almost buried at the bottom of the lake just now, the joy on his face could not be hidden.

On the surface of the lake not far away,

Above the carcass of the lightning fish,

A dark yellow soul ring floats silently.

This is a nine-hundred-year-old soul ring, and it will also be the first soul ring that Xu Ran is about to absorb.

First returned to the cave, put some standing healing herbs on the wound, at this moment the wound turned out of the flesh has been blistered a little white, just now when the battle was high concentration because of the high concentration of the feeling did not feel, at this moment inadvertently touched, will feel a pain in the heart.

"Hey, it hurts."

Taking a breath of cool air, Xu Ran reluctantly tore a pair of changed pants into several pieces, gritted his teeth and bandaged the wound tightly with strips of cloth.

Because the soul ring exists for only one hour, it will dissipate when the time is exceeded, time waits for no one, and after moving his body slightly, he reflexively jumped into the lake again and began the absorption of the first soul ring.

At this time, the lightning fish floated motionless on the water, and a wound more than half a meter long on its side completely penetrated its body, the blood had already flowed, and the internal organs and bone spurs inside were clearly visible, and it was already dead and could not die again.

It could have killed Xu Ran with a single blow with its advantage in the water, but its excessive intelligence cost it its life in pride and complacency.

Xu Ran took a deep breath and stretched out his hand to the soul ring, the moment he touched it, a pressure from the soul ring pressed all over his body, pressing his whole body bones gurgling, and at the critical moment, a warm current gushed out from the Tianhe Dinghai in his body, gathering the frenzied pressure in his body like a leader, guiding this pressure to all parts of his body.

After a circle, Xu Ran opened his mouth and exhaled a breath of turbidity, and his physical fitness improved again.

The absorption process went unusually well, and was not affected by his own injuries as he feared.

Perhaps because of the special reason of the martial soul, the process of absorbing the soul ring was much faster than that of ordinary people, and about a fifth of an hour later, Xu Ran opened his closed eyes, and with Tianhe Dinghai appearing in his hand, a nine-hundred-year-old soul slowly rose from under his feet.

With one of his thoughts, the first soul ring lit up, and Xu Ran's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot, appearing next to the boulder he often sat on in the blink of an eye, leaving a faint afterimage in the air.

The Tianhe Dinghai in his hand flashed with dazzling golden light, and hit the boulder with one blow.

Bang!

After a loud bang, the seemingly hard boulder was even more fragile than tofu under Xu Ran's hands, and it shattered into dozens of stones of different sizes with just one blow and scattered all over the place.

Seeing the power of his first soul technique, Xu Ran couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

His first soul skill is called Critical Strike, which is a skill that amplifies attacks.

[Critical Strike]: Select a target, gain explosive movement speed in a short time, give it a critical blow, deal twice the damage with the next hit, and silence the target, the duration of silence is affected by your own strength and the opponent's strength, and you will not be able to use any soul skills when silent.

Although this is Xu Ran's first soul skill, if it is subdivided, it can be divided into three parts.

The first part is extreme speed, which is not quite as fast as teleportation, but it's not much the same. By taking advantage of this explosive movement speed, you can not only launch a surprise attack on the opponent inadvertently, but also use it to avoid damage.

The second part is the kick-up, which strengthens the attack. You must know that Ning Rongrong's Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda, as the continent's first auxiliary martial soul, could not increase his strength by more than fifty percent in the early stage, but Xu Ran's first soul skill was a direct attack that doubled, although it could only act on himself, but it was no exaggeration to say that this skill gave him a great single second killing ability.

The third and most important part, control. In Xu Ran's opinion. This function can also be said to be the core of the first soul skill, and the control effect is second only to stun, you must know that you can't use soul skills when you are hit with a silence effect, and no matter what the opponent's soul power level is, as long as you are hit, you will definitely be affected by the silence effect, and the only thing that affects is the length of silence.

Speed

Critical Hit,

Plus control.

Tianhe Dinghai is worthy of being a super god-level martial soul, and the soul skill given by this is simply not too cool.

And the most important thing is that this first soul skill does not cost much soul power, about one-tenth of it, and with the continuous improvement of soul power level in the future, this consumption will be greatly reduced.

In that case, one day in the future, wouldn't this first soul skill be able to be used as an ordinary attack!

Thinking about it, Xu Ran returned to the cave to change into the last of his clothes.

Tomorrow is the opening day of the Notting Junior Soul Master Academy, although he has long thought that he will not go, but if he does not go back, Grandpa Jack will inevitably come to the back mountain to find him.

The snow is slippery, and the weather is extremely cold, and Grandpa Jack is an ordinary person who is close to old age, and he doesn't want any accidents to happen to the other party.

Along the way, it was almost snowy down the mountain, and as soon as Xu Ran entered the village, he met Tang San who was waiting at the entrance of the village.

Seeing Xu Ran coming, Tang San rubbed his hands and greeted him, "Brother Ran, you can be counted as back, tomorrow is the time for the academy to start, and I will tell you a good news, my father has already agreed to my cultivation, so I can go to the academy with you tomorrow to report." And I have put in a lot of hard work during your absence, and with my father's guidance, if I play the hammer again, I will definitely not lose. How about doing it again? ”

Looking at Tang San's confident appearance, Xu Ran shook his head with a smile.

He is very clear about his strength, and he is also aware of Tang San's strength, it can be said that the two are not at the same level at the moment, if they really want to compare, the ending will still be the same, and there will be no change.

"Little San, forget about the competition, but I'm afraid I won't be able to go to the academy with you."

"Huh? So where are you going. Tang San looked puzzled, "Brother Ran, you have such good qualifications, even my father said that you will definitely be a dragon among people in the future, if you don't go to the academy to study, you will definitely delay your cultivation, you have to think about it." ”

"Well, I know this, the academy is indeed the best choice for children who have just awakened their martial spirits, but it doesn't have much effect on me. As for the next time, I may go to Noah's Forest, where it is dangerous and I can lose my life at any time, but only by wandering between life and death again and again can I truly understand the true meaning of life. Little San, there are some Golden Soul Coins here, which are considered the tuition fees I personally sponsored for you, and when you get to the academy, you must practice well, and I look forward to the day when we meet again. ”

He took out a large handful of Golden Soul Coins from the storage ring and handed it to Tang San, patted him on the shoulder, and Xu Ran turned around and left.

Looking at Xu Ran's back as he walked farther and farther away, and then looking at the Golden Soul Coin in his hand, Tang San's eyes gradually became firm.

"Brother Ran, I will work hard, and I look forward to our next meeting."

"When the time comes, I will never lose again."
