Chapter 6: Soul Crystals

Dotted stars dotted the night, and a waning moon reflected it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The night in the info forest is so quiet and serene. The breeze rustles the leaves, like a string of notes, playing a lullaby in the night......

"Tian'er, how does it feel to succeed in condensing your soul today?"

"Hmm.... There was nothing special about it, it was like sleeping and experiencing a dream. “

"Haha, it's okay, what the heart thinks, what the dream says. Don't worry too much about it, just let it be. “

"Well, by the way, how do you know that I succeeded in condensing my soul?"

"Oh my God, just look at your own chest. The old man's eyes swept over my chest.

I looked at my chest in some confusion and was surprised to find a pattern about the size of a palm on my chest. In the image is the bone dragon I saw at the time, with a bone wing covering its body, its skull and tail bent inward, and its whole body curled up together, while there is a circle of ten gray dots around the bone dragon. Seeing such a pattern, I looked at the old man with some confusion, waiting for him to solve my doubts.

"Haha, my God, isn't it very peculiar. Every soul caster who has successfully condensed souls will have a pattern like this, but the position of the pattern is different from their shape. This is the hallmark of the Soul Forger, which we also call the 'Soul Mark', which is a symbol of the Soul Forger. The old man rolled up his sleeve and laid it out in front of my eyes.

Similarly, there is a pattern on the grandfather's right arm, and in the pattern is a strange creature, with horns like a deer, a head like a camel, eyes like a rabbit, a belly like a mirage, scales like a fish, and claws like an eagle. In addition to the different graphics, although there are also ten dots on the outside, the colors are completely different, among which there are two yellow, three orange, two gold, and two gray.

"Grandpa, why aren't your ten dots all gray, but have other colors?"

"This is related to the strength of the soul caster, as you can see that each soul mark has ten gray dots around it, which represents ten levels. As long as you reach a certain soul level, you will break through to the next stage. There are two ways to break through, the first is to fuse a soul crystal to break through, as for what the soul crystal is, I will explain to you later, and the second is to break through the soul of a soul. You can complete the breakthrough by meeting either of the two conditions, but only if you have enough soul points. “

"So, what's the difference between these two conditions?"

"Haha, that's where soul crystals come in. Fusing soul crystals of the same attribute can get a soul skill that suits you, and soul skills can greatly improve your combat ability. If you choose the second scenario, you won't be able to have this soul skill, but it will make your soul condensation more condensed and improve your control over the soul condensation. Of course, the second scenario is not that you will never be able to have a soul skill, as long as you find a soul crystal that suits you later, you can learn the soul skill, although it is less than half of the fusion soul crystal. “

"Then why don't you achieve both at the same time, first break through one spirit and then fuse the soul crystal, wouldn't this be more perfect?" I asked, a little puzzled.

"Oh my God, it's good that you can have such a flexible mind. Actually, it's not that no one has tried it, but it takes too long, and the difficulty of success is not as simple as one plus one. Just choose one of the two to break through, and when it comes time you have to be completely prepared. The soul beast formed by your soul is formed by your soul, and the slightest carelessness will hurt its soul. There have been many people who have tried, but they have given up when they are ready to break through the sixth spirit, and finally choose only one way to break through. Those people all said that they felt that if they continued to break through at the same time, maybe they would be scattered. “

The old man looked at the clouds, and saw that he was frowning and thinking, and the old man continued:

"As for the different colors you said, in fact, this is very easy to understand, everything in the world has to be graded, so of course the soul crystal will also be graded. For the time being, there are white, yellow, orange and gold, and of course there is a higher being above gold, but this is not something you can touch for the time being. As you can see, I fused two yellow, three orange, and two golden soul crystals. “

"Then, grandpa, how did you get the soul crystal, how are the levels of the soul casters divided, and what kind of existence does grandpa have now?"

"There are two ways to produce soul crystals, the first is also the most common one, hunting spirit beasts, and the soul of the spirit beast will turn into soul crystals after death. Of course, not all soul beasts can turn into soul crystals, only spirit beasts that have lived for several years or have a high-level bloodline will produce them. White Soul Crystal: Adult Spirit Beast Generation, Yellow Soul Crystal: 500-year-old Spirit Beast, Orange Soul Crystal: Millennial Spirit Beast, Golden Soul Crystal: 10,000-year-old Spirit Beast. And the second type: that is, before the soul caster dies, he breaks his soul condensation and condenses all the soul crystals into one. “

"As for the division of soul casters: soul master, soul master, soul general, soul king, you will know the higher level later, as for what kind of existence I have. Hahaha, it's a secret. “

I looked at the old child who was dancing in front of me helplessly, and continued to ask:

"Then grandpa, how many soul points can I break through?"

"Ahem, I've forgotten about this after talking so much. One star to ten stars are soul masters, eleven stars to twenty stars are soul masters, and this analogy is enough. “

"Grandpa, what does the soul crystal look like?"

The old man put his hand into his arms, and when he took it out again, there was an extra diamond-shaped object in his hand, and the white light emanated from the object.

"Tian'er, take it, this is a white soul crystal. You can crush it and integrate the soul power inside into your body, which can increase your soul value. “

I played with the soul crystal in my hand and muttered quietly:

"It turns out that the soul crystal can also increase the soul value!"

The old man obviously heard what I said, and walked out with some embarrassment:

"Ahem, Tian'er, you increase your soul value first, I'll go outside and help you guard." “

...........

Looking at the soul crystal in his hand, he felt a little emotional. Sitting on the bed, I was stunned and a little distracted.

'Well, it looks like grandpa didn't tell me how to integrate into my body..... '

Taking a deep breath, there is no way, at this time I can only try my luck. I pinched the soul crystal in my hand with all my might, but there was no reaction, and in desperation, I just smashed the soul crystal against the rock wall. Under the violent impact, the soul crystals that fell to the ground slowly cracked one by one. A white mist floated in the air.

I calmed down and closed my eyes.

"Whew, I hope it helps!"

In the darkness, I vaguely felt a bright spot of light in front of me, and I reached out to grab it. At this time, the pattern on the chest trembled, and the white mist in the air began to drift towards the chest, blending into the pattern little by little, and there was a cool feeling. The pattern on his chest flickered, and when the last trace was incorporated, the soul mark dimmed again.

"One star?!"

Turning his head to look at the entrance of the cave, it was already dark outside. I didn't think it would take long, but now I realize that it has consumed a lot of time.

"Whew... No wonder grandpa said that it would be a long time if two broke through at the same time, and it took me nearly a night to just absorb a white soul crystal to break through one star, and it seems that it will not work hard if I don't work hard. ”

"Oh my God, everything is done? Yes, it succeeded the first time without telling me how to do it. But remember, you can't slack off at any time. Tian'er, I told you, your parents are still in this world, and now you have the opportunity to find them, but you don't have enough capital. In the future, I will be strict with you, and when you become a soul master, I will send you to an academy. In the academy, you can learn better. It's important for you to make a lot of friends there, and it's the only place where you can progress faster. If you don't meet my requirements, you don't have to think about anything else. “

"Yes, grandpa, I will definitely do it according to the requirements. “

"Very well, then from here on, you run down the hill, and you run up with a bowl of water at the bottom of the mountain, and be careful, the water in the bowl cannot be spilled. If you spill it, you run back and start again, knowing when you will go back and forth dozens of times without missing a drop of water, until the first stage is considered qualified. When it's night, there are other arrangements, so let's go. Three meals a day I will prepare. ”

Hearing what Grandpa said, it can be said that it is not difficult at all. This is not only a personal physical fitness, but also a test of personal concentration, physical ability is not enough to run a few times to collapse, if you are not focused, let alone not to mention a drop of water is not spilled, it is estimated that a bowl of water is gone. Without the slightest hesitation, I turned and ran out.

However, I don't know what Grandpa is thinking at this time.

Looking at a thin body running out, the resolute figure made the old man a little unbearable. But he didn't open his mouth, because that's what he had to do.

"Child, although you have the Holy Soul, because of that curse, not only will you not receive any benefit, but you will even be an obstacle to you in the future. Only by constantly honing you can you grow. Child, I really feel unfair for you, generally children with holy souls don't need to think about the problem of soul value, they only need to continue to condense and achieve a certain degree of fit to fuse soul crystals to easily break through, but you can't. All I can do is keep motivating you, and the rest is up to you. “

..............

The day passed quickly, and I don't know how many times I ran back and forth, and there were no less than ten broken stone bowls. The sore leg is as if it is not my own, and I have no sense. I didn't have much strength after running a few times in the morning, if I hadn't gritted my teeth, I guessed I would have been lying on the ground, but I didn't know what my grandfather gave me, and after a meal, in addition to being sore, my energy became very sufficient, and it lasted until after dinner.

"Oh my God, sit up, it's time to rest. From now on, feel your soul beast and make it manifest in the air when you feel it. Once you've done five times, it's time to rest. “

Dragging my tired body and sitting up, when I started to try, I realized that it was not as simple as I thought. Not to mention trying to feel the soul beast, it is difficult to calm down even the most ordinary mind. The painful body constantly stimulates the nerves in the brain, and the spirit cannot concentrate at all. Constantly controlling the trembling muscles and trying to keep your energy together.

I don't know how long it took, I finally felt the presence of a soul beast, and I tried to control myself slowly leaning against it, at this time, as in the pattern, it curled up on the ground, and a giant one covered its body. Finally, both hands touched it. A little light lit up, and a bone dragon appeared in the air, it was originally extremely huge, but at this time it became only half a human height, and its whole appearance was also illusory, if you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't even know its existence.

"Whew, finally succeeded once, and four more...."

At this time, it was already pitch black outside, but I had to drag my tired body to continue my 'journey'.

Time passed day by day, and I continued the tasks assigned by my two grandfathers repeatedly.........

I don't know how long it took for me to finally have my first breakthrough in my life............
