Gui Mei and Yue Guan’s pupils contracted, their mouths fell open, and then they gasped in disbelief. Was Shen Nuonuo even human?
Her first Spirit Ring was a thousand-year Spirit Ring. She also had Twin Martial Souls, and could possess three Soul Skills.
They say that when God opens a window for you, He closes a door.
Which door did Heaven close for her?
Seeing Gui Mei and Yue Guan’s dumbfounded expressions, Shen Nuonuo knew she had shocked them. "Grandpa, Elder Ghost, Elder Ju.
"It’s not what you think. After obtaining the Spirit Ring, I discovered I already had two innate Soul Skills. I can only add Spirit Rings to my main form, and not to the other two forms."
Shen Nuonuo actually felt a great sense of regret. If she could add Spirit Rings to all three forms, she could have twenty-seven Soul Skills from just one Martial Soul.
It was an awesome thought, and if her second Martial Soul was also maxed out, that would be thirty-six Soul Skills!
After hearing Shen Nuonuo’s explanation, Qian Daoliu, Gui Mei, and Yue Guan understood, but their expressions remained blank.
Qian Daoliu was fine; after all, he had a God-tier Martial Soul. But it was different for Gui Mei and Yue Guan. Their own Martial Souls were inferior to those of other elders, which was why their status in Spirit Hall wasn't very high.
Fortunately, they had a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, which allowed them to truly establish a foothold in Spirit Hall.
"However, I can switch my forms at will, which is quite convenient. I can use it as an umbrella when it rains, a shield when attacked, and for close-quarters combat against enemies."
Shen Nuonuo felt quite pleased with herself; she had a beautiful vision.
Listening to her words, Gui Mei and Yue Guan truly felt envious and jealous. Alas, why was the gap between people so vast?
Some people were born at the pinnacle of the pyramid, while others were born to be beasts of burden.
When Qian Daoliu heard her mention using her Martial Soul to block the rain, his lips twitched. He slowly calmed his excitement. "Then what are your three Soul Skills?"
"Main form, first Soul Skill: Flowing Shadow Thousand Thorns."
"Second form Soul Skill: Flowing Light Blade."
"Third form Soul Skill: Thousand Mechanisms Wing Shield."
As Shen Nuonuo spoke, she activated her Martial Soul, the Glazed Thousand Machine Umbrella, and channeled her Spirit Power. She used the main form’s first Soul Skill and instantly launched a dense rain of thousands of needles towards a medium-sized tree not far away.
The needle rain consisted of thousands of silver needles, attacking with extreme speed and covering a wide area.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Amidst countless faint sounds.
The needle rain poured down like a torrential downpour, resembling a silver curtain of rain. The tree was pierced by the needle rain; its leaves were all penetrated, and its trunk was covered with dense needle holes.
This large tree had become a sieve.
At this moment, Shen Nuonuo channeled her Spirit Power again, converting her internal Spirit Power into a silver needle as thin as a cow's hair.
This silver needle was magical; it twisted and turned continuously, forming an extremely peculiar trajectory in the air as it dispersed outwards.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Under Shen Nuonuo’s control, two nearby large trees exploded.
"Bang!"
With a loud explosion, the dust left by the exploding trees filled the air.
"Whoosh!"
Shen Nuonuo took a deep breath, looked at the silver needle formed in her hand, and a smile appeared on her face. "I never expected my first Soul Skill to possess such immense power. It's truly unbelievable!"
Although it was only her first Soul Skill, it had already consumed a significant amount of her Spirit Power.
After all, she was only fourteen years old, and this Soul Skill required a lot of Spirit Power.
Gui Mei and Yue Guan were also stunned by the sudden explosion.
"Why is the power of your first Soul Skill so great?" Yue Guan asked, his eyes wide.
Such terrifying destructive power, and she was only now officially becoming a Soul Master after acquiring her first Spirit Ring. It was truly shocking.
Shen Nuonuo shook her head upon hearing this. "I don't know either. I just tried it casually, and I didn't expect its power to be so great!"
"So humblebraggy."
Qian Daoliu’s face twitched. Why did he feel that Shen Nuonuo’s expression was so punchable right now?
Unlike Gui Mei and Yue Guan, who stared blankly, Qian Renxue looked at Shen Nuonuo with adoration.
"The consumption is too great, I don’t have much Spirit Power left, so I can’t use the other two Soul Skills." Shen Nuonuo was very happy in her heart; it seemed the system hadn’t lied to her.
Shen Nuonuo's Spirit Power was indeed insufficient. After all, she had just obtained her Spirit Ring and was still getting used to it. Moreover, this Soul Skill was different from ordinary Soul Skills, so it required a vast amount of energy.
"Then how do you plan to deal with this problem?" Yue Guan asked again.
Shen Nuonuo’s expression was a bit innocent. "I plan to go back first. When I have enough Spirit Power, I will use the other two Soul Skills!"
She remembered that in Peerless Tang Sect, there was a small milk bottle that could be used to store and restore Spirit Power.
"Well, you need to cultivate well in the future. We’ve also wasted enough time, let’s head back," Qian Daoliu said, preparing to have Gui Mei release the remaining Spirit Beasts.
Shen Nuonuo nodded, watching them release the Spirit Beasts. She felt a little disappointed because the kitty was really cute, but she also understood that she shouldn't put herself in danger.
Qian Daoliu noticed Shen Nuonuo’s expression and smiled. "Still just a child!"
Children always liked cute things; he was experienced and understood. He would have someone send a pet cat to Nuonuo when they returned.
......
After Shen Nuonuo and the group finished hunting for their first Spirit Ring, they planned to rush back to Spirit City.
The carriage was the same one they arrived in, but the ordinary coachman had been replaced by Yue Guan.
Finally, late at night, they reached their destination.
Spirit City bordered the Heaven Dou Empire to the north and the Star Luo Empire to the south. It was also close to the Star Dou Great Forest. It could be said to be the most prosperous place on the continent in terms of politics and economy.
Although it was smaller in area compared to the capitals of Heaven Dou City and Star Luo City, its political and economic significance far surpassed those of Heaven Dou City and Star Luo City.
Spirit City was not large, but its city walls were undoubtedly built to the standard of a capital city’s main fortress. The eighty-meter-high hexagonal walls enclosed the Six-Winged Mountain, outlining the shape of Spirit City.
Those patrolling on the city walls were all Soul Masters, wearing the special attire of Spirit Hall. On each of the six city walls, there was a huge relief symbolizing six powerful Martial Souls.
The center of Spirit City was located on the mountainside of Six-Winged Mountain. The Papal Palace, Hall of Elders, Hall of Worship, Angel Sanctuary, and Douluo Hall—these five magnificent buildings overlooked the entire Spirit City and the Douluo Continent.
Unlike when Shen Nuonuo and Qian Renxue were tired earlier, this time both of them pulled aside the curtains and looked outside.
Shen Nuonuo was curious about everything. It was Qian Renxue’s first time outside. Both of them were unfamiliar with the surroundings.
