After touching the statue, Cao Lie found himself in the Zhihai space.

The statue is reborn before his eyes, confronting an invisible foe.

Huo Diao's combat skills are extremely elegant, and every swing of wings and every dodge is like an elaborate dance move, constantly slamming the invisible enemy in front of him.

The flames and the chill of its wings are intertwined to create a beautiful picture, and its fighting style looks like not only a contest of power, but also a feast for the eyes.

In this process, information kept coming into Cao Lie's mind.

According to Kappa's explanation, the cultivation of soul skills requires him to observe the battle trajectory of the statue's owner in order to comprehend the relevant abilities of the statue's owner.

Since it is a conscious observation, every learning comprehension will be recorded by the soul, and the strength of the soul will also be improved.

Cao Lie calmed down and began to observe Huo Diao's actions.

Consciousness was immersed in it, and Cao Lie's hands began to wave subconsciously with Huo Diao's movements.

Graceful movements are sometimes like a breeze, and they suddenly turn into sharp and killing moves, combining virtual and real, which is the fighting style of Huo Diao.

Just when Cao Lie thought that he had comprehended some of the characteristics of Huo Diao's combat skills, a large amount of information poured into his mind out of thin air.

He thought it was in the process of observing, and the memory of the battle was imprinted in his soul.

But when he saw the specific content of this message, he was dumbfounded.

[Found to capture the soul imprint, the soul prison is activated, is the target soul captured?!] 】

Cao Lie: ???

"Soul capture?"

On the way here, Kappa gave a detailed introduction to the comprehension and learning method of soul skills, but did not mention that there would be prompts during the comprehension of soul skills.

Confused, he chose "yes".

Suddenly, the space of consciousness changed, and a huge building rose out of thin air to envelop the flames.

As if coming from a rift in time and space, this huge building has an indescribable eerie aura.

The walls are made of an unknown black stone, and the surface is covered with strange symbols and patterns, mottled moss and black marks, giving Cao Lie a desolate and eerie feeling.

At this moment, a blood moon rises from the building, and the symbols and patterns shimmer in the light, and the unspeakable power quietly flows, washing away the mottles and traces of the building's walls.

The prison tower rose to the sky at this moment, and the sharp and sharp spire at the top seemed to pierce the blood moon in the sky.

A thick gray mist filled the space of consciousness, enveloping the ancient building, and a staircase path extending into the building spread out in front of Cao Lie.

Puzzled, Cao Lie walked down the steps to the building.

The corridors along the way were narrow and twisty, the walls were covered with rusty iron grates and chains, and an indescribable fear permeated the air, which brought him intense unease, as if behind every iron gate along the way held a great terror.

After a while, Cao Lie stopped.

After taking a step back, he looked at the iron gate on one side, which was different from the previous iron door, and this iron door actually had the image of Huo Diao printed on it.

Two steps closer, he pressed his hand against the iron door.

At this moment, a flood of information flooded into his mind.

In front of his eyes, Huo Diao was imprisoned in the prison, wrapped in dark green energy chains, and the wisps of energy were extracted through the chains, making Huo Diao scream in pain.

……

The information that came to his mind made Cao Lie suddenly realize that he had activated an incredible ability.

Traveling into this world, he also fantasized that he had special abilities.

But after experiencing the cruel life and death on the front line, he gradually gave up this idea, and he did not think that he was special from ordinary people.

Even the heart was ready to die for the expedition plan.

But the information in his mind made him understand that he really had the so-called traverser benefits.

This ability was never activated because he never received the refined soul.

But this time entering the Soul Skill Pavilion gave him access to the mutilated soul refined by the Raging God, which also helped him activate potential special abilities.

The so-called soul prison, as the name suggests, is a place where souls are held.

Every soul imprisoned in prison will suffer endless torture in the prison, becoming the source of his power of pain, and contributing to him a steady stream of pain power.

Consuming the power of pain can help him to engrave the ability of the imprisoned to be engraved in their souls.

is also mastering soul skills, and the direct imprint brought by his ability is more simple and crude than comprehending and learning.

While being pleasantly surprised by gaining such a powerful ability, Cao Lie suddenly felt a little worried.

He imprisoned the soul of Huo Diao in his own soul prison, and this would not attract the attention of the wrathful god, if he was targeted by the wrathful god, he would surely die.

With the thought of leaving, the soul prison that rose from the ground in the consciousness space dissipated into nothingness, and the blood moon suspended in the sky disappeared with it.

Cao Lie's consciousness returned**.

Looking at the statue of Huo Diao standing in front of him, Cao Lie withdrew his hand and pressed it again.

What he didn't expect was that his consciousness was sent to the Zhihai Space again, and the statue of Huo Diao quickly dissolved in front of him.

He originally thought that Huo Diao's mutilated soul had been captured by himself, and it stands to reason that the display of soul skills would fail, but he didn't expect that the study of soul skills could still continue.

After a brief thought, he thought of a possibility.

Perhaps the Soul Prison only imprisons a part of Huo Diao's soul, and the part that inscribes the soul skill is still preserved in the statue.

If this was the case, he no longer had to worry about extracting the soul of the statue to expose his abilities, which would lead to the pursuit of the angry god.

Thinking of this, Cao Lie turned his gaze to the other statues.

The first floor was divided into multiple spaces, and the space where he was located had two statues in addition to Huo Diao.

If he could absorb all the souls of the statues standing on the first floor, his strength would be able to increase explosively in a short period of time.

Without much hesitation, he walked up to the second statue and placed his hand on it.

Suddenly, the consciousness space reappeared, and in front of him was the image of a frost giant whose surface was covered in frost.

In the blink of an eye, the Soul Prison rose from the ground and enveloped the Frost Giant.

Imprisoned information then flooded his mind:

[Frost Giant]:

Soul Status: Crippled

Imprint soul abilities: Sky Collapse Hammer, Frozen Thousand Miles, Extremely Cold Body

Soul Strength: Level 6

Produces Painful Force: 349/hour

……

After imprisoning the Frost Giant's soul, Cao Lie came to the third statue.

After imprisoning the soul of the third statue's owner, Scorpion Braid, he passed through the invisible energy barrier and came to the second act space on the first floor of the Soul Pavilion.

There are also three statues in front of you.

The first statue was a monster named Torture Thunder, its body resembling a dragon, its body snaking upward, full of power and majesty, its scales shining with lightning even in its statue, and its gaping jaws and claws as if to pounce on the enemy in front of it.

After making contact with the statue, the consciousness enters the space of the sea of knowledge.

In front of you is the statue of the torture thunder.

As the stones on the statue fell off, the sky was overcast, and purple thunder with a thick bowl continued to hit the statue.

Every thunderbolt seemed to inject life into the statue, and the thunderbolt opened his angry eyes, his eyes flashed with thunder arcs, and a swirling arc of lightning appeared around his body, as if he could control the thunder and lightning of heaven and earth.

Rise~!

A loud roar resounded in the sky, and the thunderbolt that broke free from the shackles of the statue flew into the sky, hovering in the sky.

But Cao Lie didn't wait for the thunderbolt to show his ability, so he summoned out of the soul prison.

As the ancient building rose from the ground, the thunderbolt suspended in the sky was suppressed and fell by an invisible force, and was finally sealed in a cage.

Cao Lie's mind then came up with the information of Xing Lei.

【Soul Prisoner: Torture Thunder】

Soul Status: Crippled

Imprint soul abilities: Thunder Break, Break the Sky, Shake the Nine Skies......

Soul Strength: Level 7

Produces Painful Force: 548/hour

……

After sealing the remaining souls in the six statues one after another, Cao Lie walked towards the third void on the first layer, only to find that he had crashed into an invisible energy barrier and could no longer move forward.

Realizing that the bottom arena could only observe and learn the soul skills of the six statues, Cao Lie did not force it.

Each of the six prisoners in the Soul Prison had the ability to slay the original gods, and he was already very satisfied.

The next thing he had to figure out was how to engrave the abilities of these six prisoners in his soul by expending the power of pain.

Walking out of the Soul Skill Pavilion, he found that the kappa had long since left.

Following the route in his memory, Cao Lie spent an hour returning to his room.

Closing the door, his consciousness sank into the sea of knowledge, and the soul prison resurfaced.

At this time, the power of pain produced by the Soul Prison had reached 2,321 points, which was enough for him to engrave an ability.

After looking at the ability characteristics of the six prisoners, Cao Lie chose the soul ability of the first prisoner, "Huo Diao", Huo Diao Battle Dance.

With the depletion of the power of pain, information about this ability flooded into my mind.

He directly learned how to use this combat skill, as if it was a natural ability that came with him at birth, and he didn't need to consolidate his learning at all.

Rather than learning, the word "comprehension" is obviously more appropriate.

Exiting the Soul Prison, Cao Lie walked to the end of the room, pushed open the door and came to the lake to begin the drill.

The Fire Diao Battle Dance is a melee martial art that combines domineering and trickery, with both fierce and majestic attacks and weird and tricky virtual and real killer moves.

Close your eyes and follow your soul's memory.

This feeling is very strange, and the body twists as if it is incarnated into a fire that soars in the sky, spreading its wings and overlooking the earth, and the momentum is overwhelming.

In the process of performing the soul technique, the qi and blood in the body are rushing like a river, gathering in both hands.

At this moment, your hands are like wings, you can not only spread your wings and soar into the sky, but also turn into steel knives and tear the clouds.

Following the guidance of his soul memory, Cao Lie's figure moved quickly.

Sometimes it dodges and moves sideways like a ghost, agile and elegant, and sometimes it is like an eagle striking the sky, fast and fierce.

When the palm of the hand is in the shape of a knife, the cold light slaps forward like a storm.

When the hand grasps the fist, it is like a sharp blade returning to the sheath, concealing the killing intent.

With the continuous switching of offensive and defensive postures, the air under the virtual and real killing moves seemed to be torn apart by this force, and one move and one style let out a sharp roar, like a fire cry.

When Cao Lie withdrew his hands and opened his eyes, he found that his physical fitness seemed to have been greatly improved in the process of comprehension.

As Kappa said, soul technique is the process of soul cultivation.

The strength of the soul will also be fed back to **.

This realization gave Cao Lie a strong confidence in the next competition.

Being captured and brought to the Rage Arena may not be a nightmare, but an opportunity to rise.

In the outside world, how could there be so many pure strong souls for him to imprison and engrave.

But here, as long as he continued to climb to the upper echelons of the Competitive Heavenly Ladder, the authority of the Soul Skill Pavilion would gradually be released, and he could imprison the souls of a large number of strong people and comprehend what they had learned all their lives by consuming the power of pain.

Such a growth environment cannot be found in the outside world.

It's a blessing in disguise.

……

The time came 25 days later.

Cao Lie stood in the arena again.

This time his opponent is a monster with a rhinoceros head, its skin looks thick and hard, and its skin has a dark brown texture, as if it has been baptized by the years, precipitated strong tenacity.

Its limbs are muscular, and it jumps into the ring and sends the ground with it.

The most obvious feature of the body is a single horn on the forehead, which is closely connected to the skin, like a sharp long sword, flashing cold.

On its body, it was also wearing the animal skin armor it had worn before it was captured, which was inlaid with various mysterious runes, which shimmered faintly in the sunlight.

After observing more than 100 battles, Cao Lie found a characteristic.

Competitive fighters who wear armor and have not been replaced until now are generally stronger.

When he first arrived, he was also wearing a piece of the First Battle Suit of the Human Empire.

As a result, within two battles, the armor was so broken that it could not be used, and wearing it on the body would only affect the battle, so it had to be taken off.

There are only two possibilities to win six games in a row and still wear the armor.

The Warframe's defense is strong enough that it has not been seriously damaged in six consecutive battles.

There is also a possibility that the opponent can easily solve the opponent every time they fight, and will not let the armor on their body be damaged in the bitter battle at all.

Either way, it is enough to prove that the strength of the other party should not be underestimated.

With the change of characters in the sky above the ring, Cao Lie and the rhinoceros warrior charged at each other at the same time.

In terms of speed, Cao Lie was noticeably faster, and his fist-clenched right arm smashed into the rhinoceros warrior's neck at a tricky angle.

The Rhino Warrior was also very quick to react, realizing that he would be the first to be hit, and his offensive stance suddenly changed to defense, and his right arm slammed across his neck in an attempt to fend off the heavy punch.

Seeing this scene, Cao Lie's eyes showed a touch of fierceness.

The right hand of the fist suddenly changed into a hand knife, and the burst blow that seemed to be charged changed the attack position in an instant as it advanced, and a hand knife slashed and stabbed into the chest of the rhinoceros warrior.

The combination of virtual and real, this is the terrible thing about the fire and war dance.

When he pulled out his arm, he brought up a puddle of blood, and there was a broken beating ball of flesh in the palm of his hand.

The rhino warrior's body trembled, took two steps back, and fell to the ground with a thud.

Cao Lie turned around and walked towards the tunnel at this time, and threw the meat ball in his hand to the ring behind him without looking back.
