Chapter 2558: Soul Gaze

On the Trading Street, Gulu sat smiling behind the stall. Recently, she seemed to have become obsessed with Gothic dresses. What was even more surprising was that this Gothic dress seemed to be Saint Spirit-class armor.

Su Xiao looked at the scroll on the stall. This scroll selling for 3600 Soul Coins was indeed not expensive, as it was a soul-type ability.

【Soul Gaze, Lv. 1】

Type: Skill Scroll·Passive

Prerequisites: Real Intelligence 160 points, Soul Strength 150 points, Willpower 105 points.

Skill Effect: If you withstand a control-type ability and successfully exempt yourself from this control effect, you will immediately counter-control the caster, causing the caster to be controlled by their own ability.

Hint: Currently can counter First Tier control effects. The counter-tier will increase according to the level of this ability, up to??? tier.

Hint: If you successfully counter the enemy, the enemy will suffer Soul Gaze while withstanding the control ability, causing Soul Strength difference x0.4 soul damage.

Hint: The damage caused by Soul Gaze will increase according to the skill level.

Hint: This ability has no consumption and no cooldown.

Price: 3600 Soul Coins

The effect of Soul Gaze is actually very simple. As long as an enemy uses a control ability on Su Xiao, after he exempts himself, the enemy will suffer backlash and be controlled by their own ability.

Not only that, it can also cause damage based on the Soul Strength difference. With Su Xiao's Soul Strength, as long as he levels up Soul Gaze, the damage intensity of this ability will be very high. In most cases, soul damage is similar to real damage.

As a Sword Art Master, Su Xiao has strong exemption against control-type abilities.

As a dual master, Sword Art Master mainly exempts mental-type control, and Close Combat Master mainly exempts physical-type control. As for soul-type control, he just takes it head-on.

If the 'Soul Gaze' ability is raised to a very high level, it is possible that a control-type Qiyuezhe just tries to control Su Xiao and ends up killing themselves, dying miserably under soul damage.

Please don't laugh; this is very likely to happen. Su Xiao's Soul Strength is very high, plus the small physique of control-type Qiyuezhe~

"Sword Art Master, if you say you aren't tempted, I won't believe it, you despicable anti-control master."

Gulu muttered, clearly recalling the time when she fought Su Xiao and one of her core abilities was exempted.

Su Xiao ignored Gulu. For the right person, 【Soul Gaze】 could indeed sell for 6300 Soul Coins. At a normal price, it would be around 5000 Soul Coins. This ability has no consumption. Looking at the prerequisites, it is a low-starting, high-ceiling ability.

Most importantly, this is a passive ability. Passive abilities are expensive to begin with, and soul-type passive abilities can be expensive enough to make one doubt life, more than twice as expensive as scrolls of the same grade.

"Buy it quickly."

Gulu urged. Clearly, she is not an old schemer; she is too impatient.

"Help me thank your Tuanzhang. Let's call it even this time."

"!"

Gulu felt a chill in her heart. If Su Xiao hadn't come, it wouldn't have mattered how many Soul Coins this scroll sold for, but if he came...

"Alright, another 100 Soul Coins cheaper, this is the bottom line. This is a soul-type ability."

Gulu clearly raised the price by 100 Soul Coins on her own, preparing to make a profit from it.

"Since that's the case, I'll accept this favor."

Su Xiao said, and purchased the 【Soul Gaze】 scroll from the stall.

【You have consumed 3500 Soul Coins.】

【You obtained Soul Gaze Scroll·Lv. 1 (Passive).】

Seeing Su Xiao buy the 【Soul Gaze】 scroll, Gulu breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. Their Tuanzhang is very good to the members and would not pursue small mistakes, but there is one point: it must never involve violations, abnormalities, etc. Touch it and die. If members cannot clean up each other, the Tuanzhang will do it himself.

Gulu had seen her Tuanzhang compress an abandoned small world to the size of an apple and then crush it with his bare hands.

"Hey, my bitch has been looking for you recently, seems like there's something."

"Speak human language."

"Phew~" Gulu let out a long breath and said with a smile: "The Witch is looking for you, seems like there's something. The Witch is that bitch who speaks very slowly."

Gulu's attitude toward the Witch is a bit strange, both intimate and calling her a bitch. Considering that both are women and the huge difference in their figures, Gulu's attitude is normal. It can only be said that jealousy makes people 'hideous'.

"Are you jealous of the Witch?"

Su Xiao left this sentence and walked away. Gulu tilted her head and thought for a while, soon understanding the meaning contained within. After calming her breathing, she contacted the Witch.

Gulu: "Bitch!"

Witch: "?"

Gulu: "Bitch! Bitch! Bitch..."

Witch: "Little Gulu, you're acting crazy again. By the way, I can't wear the Gothic dress you mailed. It's so tight I'm almost suffocating. How did you get into it..."

Gulu decisively ended the communication to avoid suffering critical real damage. The Witch is not to be trifled with either; every sentence is unexpectedly piercing.

When Su Xiao returned to the exclusive room, only Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Benny were there. Baha and Amu had gone out to roam. One thing surprised Su Xiao: Amu had brought back the Dragon Heart Axe.

The situation of the Dragon Heart Axe is very special now. Amu hasn't fully obtained ownership, but he can use it. Su Xiao feels the problem lies in the heart in the center of the axe; that is an Ice Dragon Heart.

The Ice Dragon Heart has a high degree of compatibility with the water-attribute 【Source】, which is why the Dragon Heart Axe exists. Because of the ice energy in Amu's body, it feels like the Dragon Heart Axe is clinging to Amu. That heart seems to be half a living thing, without self-consciousness, but possessing strong aggressiveness and invasiveness.

Su Xiao walked into the exclusive room. At this time, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Benny were watching something with rapt attention. Benny's expression was normal, but Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was half-hidden under the bed, wrapped in a quilt for a sense of security, facing a great enemy.

Su Xiao came to Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's side, but Xiang Bubu didn't notice, still watching the horror movie with rapt attention, trembling with fear but unable to stop watching.

Snap~

Su Xiao snapped his fingers, and with a bang, the bed above Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang bounced up half a meter. Xiang Bubu was stunned.

"Meow~"

Benny walked away with a calm expression. Judging from her trembling body, she was holding back laughter.

Sitting on the bed, Su Xiao took out treasure chests one by one from his storage space. Seeing this scene, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang immediately forgot about what just happened and jumped onto the bed.

There were six treasure chests in total. Su Xiao took out the Destiny Master and lit a cigarette to buff his luck state.

【You have opened the Epic-class Treasure Chest (86%).】

【You obtained Legend Medal x10.】

【You obtained Dark Walk Confusion (Epic-class item).】

Su Xiao checked the attributes of 【Dark-Walking Confusion】; it is an object resembling a lump of charred coal, which, when thrown, can affect 1 to 5 enemies within a 50-meter radius, leaving these enemies mentally muddled for about 5 seconds.

It seems the effect of 【Dark Walk Confusion】 isn't great, but the judgment tier of this thing is mysteriously high. When Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang is blocked after sneaking into certain dangerous places, this thing is a life-saving item.

Tossing 【Dark Walk Confusion】 to Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Su Xiao continued to open the treasure chests. He prepared to open the treasure chests of the Leader of Qin and the Leader of Drowning together.

【You have opened the Saint Spirit-class Treasure Chest (42%).】

【You have opened the Saint Spirit-class Treasure Chest (49%).】

【You obtained Soul Crystal (Complete) x6.】

【You obtained Qin Heart Blade (Saint Spirit-class weapon).】

【You obtained Remnant Soul of Hunting Tide (Saint Spirit-class item).】

【Remnant Soul of Hunting Tide】

Origin: Source·God's Village

Quality: Saint Spirit-class

Category: Item

Effect 1: After using this item, you can summon the Leader of Drowning·Hunting Tide, lasting 40 minutes.

Hint: The comprehensive attributes of the Leader of Drowning·Hunting Tide will be determined by the summoner's intelligence attribute.

Hint: The Leader of Drowning·Hunting Tide is an extremely strong long-range combat unit, agility-type.

Score: 975 points

Introduction: The beauty of the Tianba will assist you in battle. If you dare to have any ulterior motives, her arrows will be aimed at you.

Price: 610,000 Paradise Coins.

【Qin Heart Blade】 is a full-score weapon, very good for 'feeding' Dragon Flash. As for 【Remnant Soul of Hunting Tide】, Su Xiao has other ideas for this summoning-type item.

Hunting Tide can exist for 40 minutes. After summoning her, what would happen if he temporarily integrated the water-attribute 【Source】 into her body? The damage-deepening ability of the Tianba tribe left a deep impression on Su Xiao.

Putting away 【Qin Heart Blade】 and 【Remnant Soul of Hunting Tide】, Su Xiao picked up the treasure chest dropped by the First King. He was very much looking forward to this treasure chest; it was the Saint Spirit-class treasure chest with the highest gold content he had ever opened, bar none.

As soon as the treasure chest was opened, a dazzling light appeared. It flashed!

【You have opened the Saint Spirit-class Treasure Chest·Uncrowned (83%).】

【You obtained Soul of the King (Special Ornament·Saint Spirit-class).】
