Chapter 2: The Warrior of Souls

What exactly is Soul Energy?

It has been called a gift from heaven, the cornerstone of a new civilization, all kinds of accolades and magical stories, and can write a book that can write a library.

In Jiang Shang's understanding, it is not fundamentally different from oil and coal in the past, it is just a special kind of biological energy, but oil and coal can only be used after tens of millions of years of animal death, and this soul energy has always accompanied every moment of living beings.

Whether that energy really comes from the soul, there are at least more than 50 theories, and there is still no conclusion, but after death, people will lose 26 grams of weight, and the reduced mass does come from soul energy.

Whether it is the Moxue Trap Beast, the Battle Soul Tool, or the Western Soul Movement Equipment, they all rely on soul energy as the driving force.

These new jishu products, used in life, are many soul tools and soul energy appliances, and when used in combat, they are battle soul tools and soul motive beasts.

And no matter how advanced the weaponry is, the battle is ultimately personal.

The soul energy in the body is called soul power, and the warriors of the new era, with the learning and mastery of soul power, have developed a variety of powerful soul skills, and they are the cornerstone of the new era.

Among them, only those who have passed the assessment and met the ability standards for going out to fight are eligible to wear the Night's Watchman's Medal of Lantern.

However, due to the abundance and strength of the abandoned beasts in the outside world, the night watchman must travel in a team of at least five or more people, and the slightly more important tasks must form a team of more than a hundred people.

And if they can pass the more rigorous tests and have the experience to face all kinds of harsh wild environments on their own, then they can mark the Night's Watch Medal with the Flying Insignia of a Lone Wanderer.

It represents this strong man, and he is the ace of the night watch with the qualifications to walk alone.

To put it simply, this is the ability of this ace to have more than one squad and deal with various emergencies.

This is an honor, but also a symbol of strength.

And if you have made a meritorious achievement, you can also put a layer of silver around the emblem.

What Hong Ling pinned to her chest was such a silver-level Lone Wanderer Night's Watch badge! She is a veritable double ace.

And being able to be taught to fight by an ace night watchman is a dream-like miracle for Jiang Shang, who targets the night watch.

But the other party first asked himself a question, "What is a lighthouse?" ”

And this is not a secret that ordinary people may come into contact with, Jiang Shang is making a joke by mistaking the "lighthouse" profession in the night watchman team for a shining tower on the city wall.

Jiang Shang frankly said that he didn't know, and in order to prevent himself from continuing to be ridiculed by the unscrupulous night watchman, Jiang Shang simply took out his soul energy textbook and handed it to Hong Ling.

Turning the pages of the book with interest, Hongling laughed while reading, as if reading an interesting novel.

She rolled on the sofa with laughter, the flowers and branches of laughter trembled, zuihou had seen enough, laughed enough, wiped her tears, and said.

"It's so funny, I laughed in my eyes. There is no basic soul light nine colors, the six advancements of soul skills are not mentioned, and soul martial arts has been cut into an inexplicable soul sleep technique, which is really a 'civilian version'. ”

The amazed Hongling flipped the book with one hand, and then threw the book aside with the other.

"It would be strange if such a textbook could be practiced if it could produce something if the content was reduced, the key points were misleading, and the theory was messed up with a lot of nonsense, and there was no mention of the actual operation. Let's start at the beginning. ”

Unlike professors in the classroom who are purely based on theory, Hongling's explanation is purely based on reality.

The more Jiang Shang listened, the more frightened he became, he finally knew that Weishenme had to be taught by a specialized school, and the learning and mastery of soul power was definitely an extremely complex and professional knowledge.

"Soul power is divided according to color and attributes, the common ones are seven colors, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue, purple, and extremely rare are black and white, the colors are different, and they also represent the different characteristics of soul power users."

"The level of the soul crystal can only roughly explain the total amount of soul energy in his body, which is nothing. Soul power martial arts and soul skills are the core of combat power. Well, for example, if a locomotive, the soul stone is his operating system, then, the soul skill is the armament, the frame, and the wheels on its body, and the soul martial arts is the engine and power system. ”

"Soul martial arts is a way to exercise your soul energy, there are too many factions that have been handed down, and there are countless branches according to personal qualifications, it is too complicated, this will not be talked about for the time being, you just need to know, it is the root of a night watchman. He can refine the demons in his heart and forge his muscles and bones outside, transforming a mortal into a non-human. ”

"But soul martial arts is only the foundation, what he improves is the basic ability, no matter how good the body is, the harder the fist can hurt people. And the soul skill built on it is the real combat power. ”

"For example, I personally am the red soul light, and the red soul light is good at strengthening the amplification. Then, the soul skills I chose are naturally based on amplification and enhancement. ”

As she spoke, Hongling took out a set of white cards.

The cards were blank on the front, with a book and star markers engraved on the back, and a thorn pattern on the edges.

"Sage Slate?"

Jiang Shang recognized it at a glance, after all, this was the most sold item in the Ink Research Institute every year, although he knew that this best-selling item was the necessities and daily consumables of the night watchmen and warriors, but he didn't know how these cards were used.

Hongling's slender index finger was a little on the two cards, and the red light flashed, and the two cards changed.

"When you learn the soul technique and are mastered by you, well, it is commonly known as the second order of the soul technique, you can use the 'inscription' to fix the effectiveness of the soul technique, which is convenient for further mastery."

Hongling put the two cards in front of Jiang Shang and asked him to look at them carefully.

It was two pale red cards, one of which was a sturdy human figure on the front, and although the face could not be seen clearly, the muscles of the body were extremely enviable.

There are two large characters "liliang" on the back of the figure, a small golden five-pointed star in the upper right corner of the card, and three strong and powerful Chinese characters "eleven" in the lower left.

"Force!"

With a light whisper, a faint red light gathered in Hongling's right arm, and then she gently pinched and pinched her two fingers, and a silver coin was pinched into silver powder.

"This is one of the most basic soul skills of the Red Soul Energy, and when it is activated, my muscles will increase dramatically."

But what Jiang Shang noticed was that when Hong Ling activated the ability, on the card, the red line flashed on the figure, and he realized that this was the way the soul power worked in the body using this ability.

A small card contains a lot of knowledge about this soul technique.

On the other card, a slender figure is in a strange pose, dodging the bow and crossbow on the map.

The layout of the cards is very similar to that of the Great Force, except that the words on the back have been replaced with "Divine Response", and the number on the bottom left has been changed to "Nine." ”

"Quick response."

This time, on another silver coin, Hong Ling obviously didn't look at her hand, just through the friction between her fingers, but the silver coin jumped back and forth between her fingers like a living animal.

Then, she tossed the coin into the air and put it on her other arm, and to Jiang Shang's surprise, five times in a row, each time it was the front of the coin.

"It's a quick reaction, it increases the nerve reflexes a lot, and you don't see how fast the coin spins in the air, but for me, it's stationary."

"The sage slate infused with soul skills is called a soul skill card, the star on the upper right represents the grade of the soul skill, and the number on the lower left represents the progress of cultivation. A one-star soul skill can only be cultivated to level five at most, and I can reach more than ten levels, in addition to the fact that I am a red soul power, there is also a special reason. ”

"Each soul color has its own basic soul skills, and high-level soul skills are actually the superposition of many low-level, basic soul skills. Thousands of high-rise buildings rise from the ground, and the foundation is always the key. ”

Stroking the two cards, Jiang Shang was thoughtful.

"So, can I master these soul skills as well?"

"Of course....... not!"

What could be more tearful than putting a big table of delicious food on the table and telling you that it is someone else's and that you can't eat it.

was caught again, Jiang Shang wanted to cry and looked at Hongling without tears.

The woman who filled in "Hobby: Catching People" in her night watchman profile seemed to enjoy Jiang Shang's helpless expression that she had no way to do it, and she continued for a long time.

"Don't look at me like that, you really can't control it now. Your soul color is not red, and generally speaking, you must at least reach the Colored Rough Stone (Level 2) level before you can discover your soul color and start learning basic soul skills. “

Touching the white stone on his chest, Jiang Shang was even more depressed, the opportunity he dreamed of was in front of him, the teaching of soul skills was in front of him, but he was blocked out of the door again because of his talent.

"However, I'm talking about the general situation, and yours is a little special."

Things took a turn for the better, and Hong Ling's words made Jiang Shang hopeful.

"In yesterday's battle, you zuihou emitted soul light and dispelled the negative soul energy of the abandoned beast, which has proven your soul color and soul energy attributes...... The intercolored color produced by the intersection of red and yellow - orange soul light, moreover, is a rare existence in orange soul light, a lighthouse! ”

"Orange soul light is commonly known as the 'luster system', they are good at radiating soul power, and the 'lighthouse' is the rare existence of orange soul light. Your soul color is the orange-red color closest to the sun's color, and you have the potential to become a beacon for the predators of the Abandoned Beast. The lighthouse can dispel the negative soul energy protection of the abandoned beast, burn and weaken enemies in a large area, and can also provide lighting on the battlefield, making it the core of a night watch squad. ”

Hearing that his soul was so majestic, Jiang Shang was immediately overjoyed.

Seeing Jiang Shang smiling again, Hongling also smiled, but that smile was full of ill intentions.

"Not to mention that your soul power can provide battlefield support for a few seconds...... The orange-red soul light is called the light of death, and the newcomers to the lighthouse are meat targets when they go to battle. ”

"The 'Lighthouse''s group support and lethality make them a priority target for all enemies as soon as they appear on the battlefield, with the average death rate of the Novice Night's Watch in the first year being 27%, while the Lighthouse's fatality rate is 72%. Even if you grow up later, there is a more than seventy percent chance that you will die in battle within the first year. And the chance of dying in the war in the next five years is also more than 50%, orange and red soul color, which is an out-and-out light of death. ”

The smiling woman said words that made people despair, but Jiang Shang remembered the information he heard between the water and the sky a few days ago.

“…… I have received your return, and I deeply regret Mu Jun's sacrifice, and we will make proper arrangements for his family, don't read it. The improvised 'Lighthouse' will meet you around 5 p.m., please continue to complete the mission, if you can't get the fish oil from the Wandering Whale within three days, the City Soul Forges will have to strike early. ”

I am afraid that one of the lighthouses in the team has been killed in battle, and the other lighthouse has been sent to continue the dangerous mission.

"The mortality rate is 70% in one year, and half of the survivors are hung up in five years, which means that less than 15% of the survivors survive in six years."

The sacrifice of the predecessors proved with grim facts the description of the high danger of the "lighthouse".

"So...... After listening to this, are you still willing to learn soul skills? ”

The young man said with a smile, his expression was calm and confident, it was simply a natural axiom, and there was no trace of reluctance in his words.

"Of course. That's my goal as always. ”

Even though he knew that there might be a ninety percent mortality rate in the future, Jiang Shang's was still undaunted.

"Yes, please teach me soul skills, I can't wait to start learning."

In addition to reasonableness, the expected answer, the relationship in the past two days, combined with relevant information, also made Hongling understand Jiang Shang a little.

Compared to escaping in the hands of abandoned beasts empty-handed, what can the slightly more dangerous ability be, is the mortality rate of 7 percent considered high? The mortality rate in the first year of battlefield logistics at the original stone level was nearly ninety!

"The soul energy of the white stone level should be enough to master the most basic soul skill of this soul color, although it is not very powerful, but it is a real combat power."

"There are two basic soul techniques of the orange glossy system, one is the light technique to create a lighting ball of light, and the other is the light strike technique of throwing the ball of light, I will demonstrate it first, and then explain ......."
