Soul Master Manual

Chapter 96 Can't Kill
The calm and regular days passed for a few more days.

"Xiao Huan, I think that what you need to do with the skill 'Dark Glow' is not just to attach the spirituality of 'Shadow' to the claws, you need to try to make it more restrained, not just to stimulate it .”

"Meow?"

Listening to Li Chang'an's words, Xiao Huan stretched out his claws, frowning and staring closely.

Wisps of dark flame-like spirituality rose up, lingering on the sharp and slender but firm claws.

With its control, the wisps of black flames gradually became solidified from the initial slack.

Although it still can't be as dark as ink like the previous A-level proficiency, it is at least much better than before.

"That's it, try to maintain it, try."

Li Changan put away "Yangcheng Evening News" and focused on it.

"Meow!"

Xiao Huan nodded and ran quickly.

Swinging claws at the battered metal stakes in the training room.

Shila-

Amidst the piercing sound of metal colliding and rubbing, three more thin but deep scratches were left on it.

The tangled black silk thread condenses on the stake and does not scatter.

Seeing the result, Li Changan gently rubbed against his chin.

"'Tearing Claw' endows stronger destructive power, and with the corrosive effect of 'Dark Glow', ordinary defense is no longer enough to hinder Xiao Huan's attack."

Even if it's out of balance, Li Changan feels that the current Xiao Huan should be able to break through his defense with the addition of skin hardening.

"And the camouflage of the claws brought by the 'dark glow' completely covered up the last weakness of Xiaohuan in the 'Shadow Escape' state. In a dark enough environment, it is the most stealthy assassin."

Li Changan is very firm in the direction of Xiao Huan's training.

attack!speed!

As for the defense, he has given up all of it so far.

It is not impossible to strengthen the defense.

According to Li Changan's understanding, spirit beasts like Xiao Huan can actually learn a skill called "hair hardening".

But he didn't train Xiao Huan in this direction.

In fact, considering its small size, even if it has mastered the "hair hardening", the defense it can increase is very limited.

Unless, this "hair hardening" can be trained to A-level proficiency.

But with this energy, it is better to train the three skills "Tearing Claw", "Shadow Escape" and "Dark Glow" to A-level proficiency first.

Li Changan looked at Xiaohuan's skill value again.

【Name】: Phantom Cat

【Effort】: 58
【Efficiency】: 172
(Phantom): 34
(Stealing): 31
(Ripping Claw): 45
(Shadow Escape): 29
(Shadow Divergence): 26
(Dark Glow): 9
"Meow?"

Xiao Huan sat on the ground thinking about his claws, playing with the shadows, like an obedient toy, circling the character horoscope on the three outstretched claws.

And after its eyes narrowed, the shadow instantly attached to its paws.

"Meow!"

Xiao Huan showed surprise, and raised his paw towards Li Changan.

I see.

The shadow that was extremely agile just a second ago is now completely attached to the surface of the claw.

Li Changan's eyes lit up.

In the line of sight, the efficiency value of the "Dark Light" skill fluctuated slightly, and then stayed at 10 points.

The 'Dark Glow' of C-level proficiency strengthens the degree of solidification, the 'Dark Claw' of B-level proficiency strengthens the corrosion effect and the damage to 'spirituality', and the 'Dark Glow' of A-level proficiency is here Based on this, the attack distance has been increased. Li Changan recalled the scene when Xiao Huan fought with the Wood Throwing Dryad.

"After training 'Dark Glow' to level B proficiency, train 'Tearing Claw' with all your strength."

Li Changan made a decision in his heart.

If "Tearing Claw" can be stabilized at the normal A-level proficiency, and then "Dark Light" can be adjusted to A-level proficiency, then Xiao Huan's attack will combine two A-level proficiency skills.

In today's environment where proficiency skills such as C are available in actual combat, and proficiency skills such as B are considered outstanding, the destructive power that can be displayed by combining two proficiency skills such as A is absolutely terrifying.

With the steady improvement of spirituality, this is the direction of Xiao Huan's cultivation for a long time to come.

After rubbing the little guy's head encouragingly, Li Changan took out a piece of dark red dried fish.

This is the spiritual food that he went to the spiritual material market to buy again when he had time.

Compared with the previous dried black beak fish, this time the dried red line fish is a higher level.

What was used was a safety-level medium-potential spirit beast named "Red Line Fish" with a shadow attribute, and it was paired with a spirit food made of more expensive spirit materials.

A one-month package is worth [-].

Since he went to the spiritual material market, Li Changan also bought the two remaining auxiliary materials of the Moying Three-tailed Civet.

These two materials are not particularly rare, but the price is not low.

20 grams of star grass powder is worth 15, and [-] grams of plain flower powder is worth [-].

Counting the food upgrades for Xiao Huan and Xiao Douding, and the purchase of spiritual materials, they paid [-] to the family in Ningyuan County, and gave Lu Chan another [-] pocket money.

A total of [-] was used up and down.

Now I still have [-] left.

This money is really worthless.

But luckily there are some left.

And finally got all the ingredients for Moying Three-tailed Civet Formula.

Li Chang'an did a simple calculation. The main and auxiliary materials of the Moying Three-tailed Civet, including the blood of the thousand-faced spider he obtained directly from the Tranquil Society, would need nearly 15.

That's not even counting the price of the most expensive formula.

If you even count the recipe.

The market value of negative-level evolution-restricted spirit beast formulas is above 30.

Moreover, the Moying Three-tailed Civet is still a limited-level super-potential spirit beast, so the price will be higher.

It is estimated that there will be four 10,000+, or even more than 50.

The first evolution of Xiao Huan requires 60 or more, which is almost the same as a house.

Not counting the daily food and other expenses of the spirit beast.

With the current situation that the per capita monthly income in Yangcheng does not exceed [-], is it really affordable for ordinary people to cultivate spirit beasts?

Small rich families may not be able to afford it, right?

What's more, cultivating spirit beasts also has to bear the risk of imbalance.

"Save the rest of the money, and go to the 'Black Box' bar to participate in the trade fair next time, and see if I can find a suitable spirit beast tool for Xiao Huan."

Teng Hongrui's brute force orangutan has a very suitable "hammer of confinement", and the strength blessing is very exaggerated.

Finding a spirit beast tool for Xiao Huan doesn't need to be as suitable as the "hammer of confinement", it should improve its combat effectiveness to another level.

This is a small expense.

"I used three 'Calamity Talismans', and there are three left. It's best to get another 'Black Aconitum', or find a replacement."

The "Calamity Talisman" has helped him a lot more than once.

This thing is indeed very useful in special occasions. Before it is used up, it must be supplemented or replaced.

"Another expense."

Li Changan, who was sitting on the chair, leaned heavily on the back of the chair, looking up at the incandescent lamp on the ceiling.

Money is needed everywhere.

With the [-] on him, I don't know how long it can last.

Go sell the recipe for the "Dark Glow" skill again?

No.

As soon as such a thought arose, Li Changan immediately snuffed it out.

If it is sold too often, there will be problems. It takes at least three months for this skill formula to be sold once. Li Changan has set a rule for himself.

"Meow?"

Xiao Huan, with fine red residue remaining at the corner of his mouth, looked up at Li Changan, who was leaning back on the chair.

Scratched his head.

I don't know what is bothering him.

Isn't this life getting better and better?

Noticing Xiao Huan's innocent eyes, Li Changan laughed.

Picking it up, I put it in my arms and stroked it gently twice.

Xiaohuan needs to train every day, stand up in battle, and protect the spirit master, it has already taken on enough.

Don't give it to the arrangement of such trivial matters in life and the troubles of money.

These are the responsibilities of the spiritual master.

"It's okay, I thought I had a nightmare last night."

"Meow?" (Nightmare?)
Speaking of nightmares, Xiao Huan slightly trembled.

Thinking of some of the nightmares it had had before gave me a chill.

Climbing up to Li Changan's chest, he stuck out his tongue and gently licked his cheek.

"Don't make trouble, drool."

Feeling the warmth on his face and the tiny barb on Xiao Huan's tongue, Li Changjian put on a disgusted expression.

"Meow??" (How dare you dislike me?!)

Saying that, Xiao Huan couldn't let him go.

For a moment, Li Changan's troubles were all overwhelmed by the little guy.

jingle--

The phone suddenly rang.

Li Changan stopped the little guy, his eyes signaled to stop making trouble.

"Meow~~"

Xiao Huan squinted his eyes halfway, and put his ear on the other side of the phone.

"Chang'an."

Ran Jianyu's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Seems a bit noisy.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!."

The sudden gunshot startled Xiao Huan.

Li Changan was also a little surprised.

In his mind, Ran Jianyu was holding a mobile phone in one hand and a revolver in the other.

"Miss Fish."

"Old He is in trouble, go help now. As soon as possible."

After saying this, Ran Jianyu hung up the phone.

Lao He?

Li Changan and Xiao Huan looked at each other.

Get up quickly.

From Baizhu's side, he got to the address of Lao He's mission, took a taxi and rushed there.

Lao He is a senior member of the operation team, and he will never do things carelessly. Even if it is something that cannot be handled, he will definitely return to the base to inform Ran Jianyu, and then make a decision after a meeting.

But now Ran Jianyu told him that Lao He was in trouble.

Just explain.

This is most likely an emergency.

It was beyond Lao He's control.

Riverside District.

Most of them are villas, which can be regarded as a well-known wealthy area in Yangcheng.

Of course, it can't compare to a manor like Lu Huanong's, but it's definitely much better than the apartment buildings where ordinary people live.

"Little fantasy."

"Meow~~"

The little guy understood, and the phantom flickered in his eyes.

Shadow Yan.

Raise the paw.

Following the direction it pointed, Li Changan climbed over the wall, passed the gate guard, and entered the community.

The location was quickly locked and a relatively remote villa was found.

outside the door.

Standing was a middle-aged woman and a young man about 27 or [-] years old, both of whom looked a little anxious.

In the villa, there were constant "bang bang" noises.

Li Changan also noticed that the young man's body was covered with a lot of color, and blood was dripping out.

right here.

Run over quickly.

The middle-aged woman said with trembling lips, "Zhiyuan, why don't you notify the Public Security Bureau?"

The young man named Zhiyuan was pale, and he didn't know whether he was frightened or lost blood.

But he still said sensibly:

"Mom, the Public Security Bureau can't control this matter."

"Why is the Public Security Bureau?"

The young man noticed Li Changan running over and tried to stop him, "You can't enter inside"

"It's my colleague inside."

Li Changan pushed his hand away, opened the door and ran in without hesitation.

I see.

The villa, which was originally decorated in a rather chic way, has become a mess.

A broken coffee table, an overturned sofa, and a sparking TV.
The sound of fighting came from the inner room.

Follow the sound.

Li Changan quickly ran over.

In a room that is not too spacious on the inside.

He saw He Yongnan leaning against the wall with his chest supported.

And the screaming straw man standing in front of him.

It's just that the screaming straw man's condition is not very good at this time.

The straw on his body seemed to have exploded, one arm was hanging down, and only a few scattered straws were connected.

Two of the three black metal spikes that were originally inserted on the back were hanging, as if they had temporarily lost their function.

so miserable?
On the other side of them, the object of the screeching straw man's vigilance was a spirit beast that looked a bit like a dog and a bit like a wolf.

His eyes were red, his teeth were grimly bared, and sticky saliva slid down the corners of his mouth.

The most eye-catching thing was that one of the forelimbs of this spirit beast was exaggeratedly bloated, which caused its overall appearance to be deformed.

"Little Huan, tear it apart," Li Changan shouted with a sullen face.

"Chang'an, don't!"

He Yongnan, who was leaning against the wall, hastily called out to stop him.

Enduring the pain and sweating profusely, He Yongnan struggled to stand up, heaved a sigh of relief, and said in a hoarse voice, "Chang'an, you can't kill him."

Can't kill?

Hearing this, Li Changan and Xiao Huan were taken aback.
