Chapter 41 New Abilities
Three figures slowly emerged from the lush forest not far away. The leader was a beautiful young woman with a faint smile on her face. Her golden palace dress accentuated her perfect figure, and her golden hair cascaded down her back, contrasting beautifully with her fair skin.
Behind them were two elderly people, who seemed to have noticed them as well, their faces turning grim.
"So it's His Majesty Dugu and Senior Ye. I apologize for disturbing you all."
A look of surprise flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes. She hadn't expected to encounter these people in Sunset Forest today. Fortunately, she had already shed her disguise, otherwise she would have had no choice but to kill them with a heavy heart.
"People from the Spirit Hall?"
Dugu Bo's expression remained unchanged, but the solemnity in his eyes deepened. What kind of family was so wealthy? What kind of family would take two Title Douluos with them when they went out? Did this old man, a Title Douluo, have any face left?
The girl chuckled lightly, not directly answering Dugu Bo's question, but the obvious change in his appearance still caught her attention.
"Stop talking nonsense. An old snake dares to inquire about our young master's background."
The Prickly Porcupine Douluo's eyes widened. Their young master was here on a secret mission; did he want to die by asking questions?
"Just don't provoke us, the rest of you are free to do as you please."
Dugu Bo gave the three of them a deep look. If his granddaughter and apprentice hadn't been there, he would have shown them his evolved power.
"We were just passing by and have disturbed Your Majesty."
The girl still wore that calm smile, seemingly polite, but in reality, she was full of pride.
The three of them didn't linger too long. They had originally come out to obtain a spirit ring, and encountering these people was just an accident. Although they had already sent people to keep an eye on the spirit beast they wanted, it was always better to go and return as soon as possible.
Xie Mo lowered his head slightly to prevent the others from seeing his eyes. Although he did not announce his name, his actions still indicated that the other party was Qian Renxue, who had worked tirelessly to improve Xue Qinghe's reputation not long ago.
His acting skills aren't very good; who knows if he can fool a Title Douluo's senses? Qian Renxue's identity is top secret.
After the three walked away, Xie Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After this incident, the group's spirits were not as high as before. After a quick breakfast, they set off on their journey to find the soul beast.
Although Sunset Forest is not as rich in soul beast resources as Star Dou Great Forest, it is still one of the top soul beast gathering places on the entire continent.
Because he needed to find soul beasts for the younger generation, Dugu Bo couldn't unleash his aura, so he could only concentrate on sensing the nearby soul beasts.
"Xiao Mo, you've just met the right person."
Dugu Bo raised an eyebrow, chuckled, and vanished from their sight in an instant. He returned a dozen seconds later, throwing the enormous object in his hand onto the ground, causing it to tremble.
"Giant Spirit Boar?"
Dugu Yan looked at the soul beasts in front of her, which looked like small mountains, with surprise and quickly identified their types.
"The Giant Spirit Boar is enormous in size and possesses immense strength. Its body is covered in demonic runes. When enraged, these runes are activated, causing it to enter a demonic state. It becomes fearless, incredibly strong, but its sanity decreases at the same time."
As if reciting from a textbook, Dugu Yan mechanically recounted the situation of the Giant Spirit Demon Pig.
"Usually, Soul Masters obtain Berserk or Enhancement-type Soul Skills, but Xiao Mo, I wonder if your Soul Skill—will it mutate again?"
Dugu Yan's face showed helplessness. She also knew what Xie Mo's first soul ring's soul beast was. It was nothing special. Logically speaking, it should have been a charge soul skill or a status-adding soul skill. However, it was mutated into that grotesque form by the opponent's martial soul. No one knew whether the opponent's second soul skill would return to normal or repeat the old path.
"It'll probably mutate..."
Xie Mo said in a low voice, "But no matter which generation of Piggy Hero it mutates into, its abilities are extremely powerful."
"The Arrow of the Five Elements!"
Without hesitation, Xie Mo fired the Five Elements Arrow, easily piercing the head of the Giant Spirit Demon Boar that had been stunned by Dugu Bo. A pale purple soul ring slowly rose up.
He sat down cross-legged and began to absorb the soul rings. Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan protected Xie Mo from the side. As for Ye Wuyou, they sent him back to the poison circle to prepare the medicine. He was too old to run away anymore.
In the same space, Xie Mo slowly opened his eyes. This time, he still saw the dead pig in front of him, but now he was holding a lollipop in his hand.
Piggy Hero handed the lollipop to Xie Mo, who smiled and accepted it. As they looked at each other, the lollipop in his hand quietly melted, turning into countless rays of light that entered Xie Mo's body.
Opening his eyes, Xie Mo was immediately confronted by Dugu Bo's old face, which annoyed him. There were no beautiful girls to be around, and why did he always see a bunch of old guys' faces when he woke up after absorbing a soul ring?
"Absorbed it all? So fast. Looks like I'm still a long way from my limit."
Xie Mo didn't know anything about limits or anything like that; he just felt relaxed every time he saw his idol.
"Thank you, my idol!"
Dugu Bo didn't hear Xie Mo's murmur clearly, but he cared more about Xie Mo's soul skill than Xie Mo himself, urging the other to try it out. It was unclear who had actually acquired the soul skill.
Dugu Yan simply watched quietly from the side, a faint smile on her face. With her grandfather here, she wasn't the kind of girl who would pester others.
A refreshing forest breeze swept through, dispersing the faint smell of blood in the air.
Xie Mo's spirit possession still made him a chubby, white pig wearing a red bodysuit, with two spirit rings, one yellow and one purple, following behind him.
"The second ring of the millennium, my apprentice is truly amazing."
His face was beaming with pride, as if Dugu Bo had obtained the second ring of the millennium.
Xie Mo remained silent. His second soul ring activated, and a lollipop quietly appeared in his hand. Nothing else changed.
"Lollipop?"
"this one?"
Grandpa Dugu and his grandson stared at each other, and after realizing they hadn't misread it, they looked at Xie Mo with puzzled expressions.
"Xiao Mo, can your martial soul be used as a food-type martial soul?"
Dugu Yan asked, resting her chin on her hand, the golden shards of light illuminating her skin.
A food-type martial soul?
Xie Mo hadn't expected this thing to be used like this, so he immediately took a few bites and ate the lollipop.
"It has no taste and it can't replenish soul power."
Looking at the lollipop that had been summoned again with a sullen face, he realized that the consumption was not much, but eating it would only be a waste. After biting it, the lollipop would turn into soul power and dissipate.
"So, Xiao Mo, what exactly is the effect of your soul skill?"
Looking at Xie Mo's current state, Dugu Bo wondered if his soul skill had returned to normal? Could licking a lollipop really boost his condition? But Xie Mo hadn't shown any change in aura just now.
Dugu Bo was scratching his head so hard he almost broke it off, but he still couldn't figure out the effect of the soul skill.
"Soul Skill Effect?"
"Super Lollipop—"
