Chapter 215: New Soul Skill Set

"Stingy, never mind, let's not talk about this." Dugu Yan stuck out her tongue and said, "You've forged a new Crescent Moon Divine Weapon now. Actually, I was just thinking, if you forge a new Crescent Moon Divine Weapon, does it mean you can gain another set of soul skills like the previous ones?"

Ning Feiliu nodded and said, "That is indeed correct."

The unique mechanism of the Crescent Moon Divine Weapons meeting the martial soul system of this world is just like this; each soul ring combines with different special powers, so the effects of the released soul skills are different.

"Then let me quickly see your new Crescent Moon Divine Weapon, and what your new soul skills are like." Dugu Yan said with sudden curiosity.

"I should still need to exhaust the charge of one Crescent Moon Divine Weapon to swap in this new Crescent Moon King Sword," Ning Feiliu said with some helplessness. "However, as for the new set of soul skills, the first soul skill of my Crescent Moon King Sword is called Samsara Sovereign Fate. When used in combination with other Crescent Moon Divine Weapons, the soul skill effects are also different."

"For example, the combination of the Crescent Moon King Sword and Aphelios is Split Sovereign Fate; while releasing a sword Qi forward to hit the opponent, it can simultaneously attach a long-range sword Qi attack from the Aphelios-Crescent Moon King Sword combination."

"And conversely, when it is the combination of Aphelios and the Crescent Moon King Sword, it is Samsara Moon Flash; after the Aphelios attack hits, it adds a Crescent Moon King Sword long-range attack."

It is the same when combined with other Crescent Moon Divine Weapons; the combination of Severum and the Crescent Moon King Sword is Samsara Shadow Pair, accompanied by a storm-like Crescent Moon sword Qi attack released by Severum.

The reverse combination of the Crescent Moon King Sword and Severum is Soul Returning Sovereign Fate; while releasing a sword Qi attack, it instantly adds a slash from Severum.

This counts as a relatively good first soul skill pairing for the Crescent Moon King Sword; after all, it is mainly a melee Crescent Moon Divine Weapon, so it has better compatibility with Severum and Crescendum.

The first soul skill of the combination of the Crescent Moon King Sword and Crescendum, Arc Light Sovereign Fate, replicates the Crescendum chakram to attack along with it.

And besides this, the Crescent Moon King Sword and other Crescent Moon Divine Weapons generally have unique passive effects.

Gravitum comes with gravity control and deceleration, Aphelios increases speed and attack range, Infernum is an area-of-effect attack, Severum comes with "life steal" recovery, and Crescendum's rebound attack speed gets faster the closer the distance.

These all correspond to the inherent power of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda itself.

And the passive effect of the Crescent Moon King Sword, which originally comes from the power of soul power Enhancement, is to temporarily increase one's own soul power along with the battle, equivalent to a small War Fervor.

However, each attack can only stack 0.5 levels of soul power, with a maximum increase of only five levels, and it cannot exceed the current major rank.

That is to say, even if Ning Feiliu is currently at level 58 soul power, the highest he can temporarily raise his soul power level using the Crescent Moon King Sword is to level 60.

But... in battle, it can stack to increase soul power by five levels, and when using the Crescent Moon King Sword, it already gains the current sixty percent effect of soul power Enhancement.

Ning Feiliu can truly be called invincible!

"Then what about the second soul skill? Your first soul skill is too many and too messy, let's talk about the other soul skills." Dugu Yan pouted at this moment and said.

She knew very well that Ning Feiliu's first soul skill had many combinations because of the different primary and secondary Crescent Moon Divine Weapons used.

That really sounded messy just listening to it.

"The second soul skill of my Crescent Moon King Sword is Crescent Hundred Breaks, releasing hundreds of Crescent Moon sword Qi in an instant forward; stacked together, it can increase the power," Ning Feiliu said.

This second soul skill is an attack-type soul skill, but mainly because Ning Feiliu already has many attack-type soul skills, if this second soul skill has no special features, it is destined to be inferior to those soul skills with great power like Infernum.

The only advantage of this Crescent Moon King Sword second soul skill is probably that it can instantly stack the passive of the Crescent Moon King Sword, if all of it hits.

"The third soul skill is Crescent Barrier, releasing a crescent-shaped barrier; within the range of this barrier, it increases one's own strength and speed, and includes an invisibility effect," he continued.

An area barrier enhancement soul skill; besides being able to turn invisible, there is nothing else special about it.

"The fourth soul skill is Night Soul Fear Devour, forcibly releasing a sword Qi mark; the next attack detonates the mark, causing triple damage, and at the same time, it will cause a fear effect that severely damages the enemy's spirit."

A single-target strong control soul skill, and it includes a spiritual attack, which can be considered to make up for Ning Feiliu's shortcoming of having no spiritual attack soul skills.

"As for the fifth soul skill..." Ning Feiliu said with some surprise, "It is named Samsara Blazing Fate Slash..."

Then he stopped talking and fell silent.

This made Dugu Yan very curious, "Hmm? What's wrong?"

"Releasing a powerful slash that carries hellfire..." Ning Feiliu immediately continued.

"Just that?" Dugu Yan was very disappointed; she had thought Ning Feiliu was silent because this fifth soul skill of the Crescent Moon King Sword was how strong or strange.

But with such a brief description...

What was there to be surprised about?

"... But it can cause damage to spirits and ghosts, and even directly extinguish the spirit..." Ning Feiliu continued at this moment.

Suddenly, Dugu Yan's delicate body paused; she knew why Ning Feiliu had paused for a moment.

This fifth soul skill... was actually a soul skill that could directly cause damage to the spirit, and even kill and erase the spirit?

Ning Feiliu was also very surprised; the information on this soul skill specifically stated that it could kill spirits and ghosts.

The world of Douluo Continent can be said to be very magical; the law of this world is that for soul skills from such formal soul ring absorption, the effect is told directly to the Spirit Master, and there is absolutely nothing hidden.

You don't even need to try what this soul skill is yourself; you know it clearly in your mind.

For example, the ten thousand year soul rings that Tang San absorbed in the original plot, like the so-called ten thousand year soul skill of the Deep Sea Orca King, Blue Silver Orca Demon Intake, you could directly know that this soul skill could ignore all defenses and forcibly stun the enemy for three seconds.

The final fusion soul skill of Ning Rongrong and Oscar, Resurrection Divine Light, was known to be able to resurrect the dead before even trying it.

These skill effects are exactly the same as the information that appears in the Spirit Master's mind after absorbing a soul ring.

Of course, the effects are basically the same, but that doesn't mean some soul skills can only have one way of being used.

Like Tang San's Blue Silver Cage, besides controlling the opponent, it is also used as a shield; you can still continue to develop the usage of soul skills.

But the original effect of the soul skill is absolutely correct.

Ning Feiliu's Samsara Blazing Fate Slash can target spirits and ghosts and directly cause damage!

It can even be said that if someone dies under this soul skill of his, their spirit will definitely be severely damaged, or even scattered on the spot!

But... the combination of Ning Feiliu's fifth soul ring and the Crescent Moon King Sword actually gave birth to such a lethal soul skill that is specifically effective against spirits.

Could the root power of the Crescent Moon King Sword, the power of soul power Enhancement, be the power of the spirit itself? Ning Feiliu was suddenly curious.

"That's too outrageous." Dugu Yan couldn't help but mutter at this moment.

Because of this, she suddenly thought of her father and mother who had already died and turned into ghosts. Thinking that Ning Feiliu's fifth soul skill of the Crescent Moon King Sword could directly kill ghosts and make them scatter forever, she felt a little scared. But she soon recovered her mood; after all, how could Ning Feiliu commit such a vicious act against her parents? In fact, this was indeed the case; Ning Feiliu would not only not use this move on his own people, but against those enemies... unless it was someone Ning Feiliu truly hated to the extreme and was very worried about.

Otherwise, he would not use this fifth soul skill to directly scatter the opponent.

Although... in this world of Douluo Continent where there is no Underworld and no means of resurrection, even if the opponent is not scattered, they cannot be resurrected, nor can they be reincarnated.

But this could also be considered Ning Feiliu's final mercy.

Dugu Yan suddenly smiled at him and said, "Then come on, I will be your opponent and test how your Crescent Moon King Sword is?"

Although she has a gap of a major rank with Ning Feiliu, as an opponent for practice, it is actually okay.

However...

"I need to exhaust the power of the previous Crescent Moon Divine Weapon before I can use the Crescent Moon King Sword..." Ning Feiliu said helplessly.

"Then just practice until it's exhausted, and then formally test the power of your Crescent Moon King Sword," Dugu Yan rolled her eyes and said crossly, "Come on, follow me over and practice first!"

Ning Feiliu had no choice but to follow, and then he and Dugu Yan summoned their martial souls to begin sparring.

……

When the Severing Soul in his hand exhausted its "bullets" and turned into a streak of blood-red light to return to Ning Feiliu's body, the next moment a pale golden light shot directly out from his body, transforming into a peculiar pale golden long sword.

The Crescent Moon King Sword radiated a faint moonlight, appearing holy and noble.

It was truly as the last two characters of its name suggested, exuding the aura of a king!

"Here it comes!" Ning Feiliu held the Crescent Moon King Sword, intending to first test its sharpness and toughness.

He was actually a bit afraid that the Crescent Moon King Sword, like the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, was actually fragile glass.

He took a piece of ore out of his Soul Guidance Device; this was a special piece of Iron Essence, pitch-black all over and exceptionally hard, even harder than many expensive pieces of hundred-refined refined iron.

When he traveled, he had dug up quite a few such rare metals and gemstones, intending to use them to forge special Soul Guidance Devices like the Steel Sun Box.

It was mainly because Ning Feiliu was rich now; the ten million Gold Soul Coins given by Ning Fengzhi didn't even need to be mentioned, and he earned quite a lot himself.

If he was really short on money, he could use the Pavilion Master of Martial Glazed Pavilion token given by Ning Fengzhi to mobilize the funds within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect at will.

This large piece of exceptionally hard special iron ore was something he had bought from a miner for ten thousand Gold Soul Coins.

He wasn't stingy either; after all, he wasn't poor, so why be as stingy as a miser?

Moreover, he could see that the true value of this iron ore was definitely no less than ten thousand Gold Soul Coins, and he didn't want to take advantage of that hard-working miner, so he spent ten thousand Gold Soul Coins to buy it.

However, he didn't know that the true value of this iron ore could be even higher.

Because if this iron ore were placed in front of Tang San, he would definitely recognize that this was the Cold Heart Iron Essence, the most important material and one of the core materials for forging that so-called most powerful Hidden Weapon of his Tang Sect, the Buddha Fury Tang Lotus! But even if Ning Feiliu knew, he would probably scoff at it.

What Buddha Fury Tang Lotus; it was just a broken fragmentation grenade. Even if it were praised to the heavens, it was still a fragmentation grenade made with gunpowder and a metal casing.

It would be fine if the gunpowder inside was some kind of forbidden spell or a nuclear version, but if you're talking about a traditional gunpowder formula...

Even if it were forcibly exaggerated and enhanced by ten or a hundred times, it would still just be a fragmentation grenade.

Although this thing relied on sneak attacks, it was truly absurd that it could cause damage to the top-tier powerhouses of the Douluo Continent, the Title Douluo, in the original plot.

The reputation of the Douluo Continent as the "sewer of fantasy" probably came from this.

It was just too low-energy, one could say.

Ning Feiliu didn't know these things now, and he had no intention of mocking "Tang San."

He was now holding the Crescent Moon King Sword, aiming at the extremely hard iron ore in front of him, and swept across it.

"Bang—bang—" Only white marks appeared on the surface of the iron ore.

However... Ning Feiliu hadn't really used his strength yet.

The next moment, he took a deep breath and used ten percent of his strength, and the blade of the Crescent Moon King Sword sliced open the outer layer of the iron ore.

"Rip—"

The sword edge even sank three millimeters into the iron ore, and Ning Feiliu raised the Crescent Moon King Sword again. Very good...

Like the Zhejing, there was no damage at all.

This was enough to prove that the sharpness and toughness of the Crescent Moon King Sword were very good, and it should be at least on the same level as the Seven Kill Sword of the Sword Douluo; both were top-tier sword martial souls.

"Quite sharp," Dugu Yan nodded from the side and said, "Alright then, come and test it in actual combat with me."

"Then you'd better be careful, Sister Yan." Ning Feiliu also held the Crescent Moon King Sword and said, aiming it at Dugu Yan.

"Don't you underestimate me!" Dugu Yan hummed a few times and said, "Although my cultivation is behind yours now, I'm not bad either!"

"Good!" Ning Feiliu immediately held the Crescent Moon King Sword in one hand, rushed toward Dugu Yan, and said, "Sister Yan, here I come!"

The next moment, he swung the Crescent Moon King Sword to slash at Dugu Yan!

The speed of the sword swing was not slow, and he didn't use his full strength; after all, he was facing Dugu Yan, so he only used fifty percent of his power, making the speed look not very fast.

But Ning Feiliu always felt a bit unaccustomed to it.

After all, he had always been primarily a long-range fighter before, though he also had the close-combat Severing Soul and Folding Mirror, these two Crescent Moon Divine Weapons, but using Severing Soul and Folding Mirror...

It didn't feel as "heavy" as the Crescent Moon King Sword.

Actually, it wasn't that the Crescent Moon King Sword was much heavier than the Severing Soul and Folding Mirror because of its size; on the contrary, the weight of each Crescent Moon Divine Weapon was actually about the same.

It was just that the volume of the Crescent Moon King Sword made Ning Feiliu feel greater air resistance when he swung it to attack.

Dugu Yan also felt Ning Feiliu's attack speed at this moment... it was far from as fast as when he used the Folding Mirror and Severing Soul.

While she dodged with a flash, her right leg kicked toward Ning Feiliu! (End of chapter)
