Chapter 117 Soul Warden

After touching the statue, Cao Lie found himself appearing in the consciousness sea space.

The statue rose from the ashes before his eyes, fighting an invisible enemy.

Huo Diao's combat skills are extremely elegant. Every swing of his wings and every dodge is like a carefully designed dance movement, constantly hitting the invisible enemy in front of him.

The flames intertwined with the cold light from its wings, forming a beautiful picture. Its fighting style seemed to be not only a contest of strength, but also a visual feast.

During this process, information continued to enter Cao Lie's mind.

According to Kappa's explanation, the cultivation of soul skills requires him to observe the battle trajectory of the statue owner in order to understand the statue owner's relevant abilities.

Because it is conscious observation, every learning and understanding will be recorded by the soul, and the strength of the soul will also be improved.

Cao Lie calmed down and began to observe Huo Diao's actions.

His consciousness was immersed in it, and Cao Lie's hands began to wave subconsciously following Huo Diao's movements.

As if coming from a rift in time and space, this huge building carries an indescribable and strange aura.

This ability has never been activated because he has never obtained a refined soul.

Soul Release: Prisoners imprisoned in the Soul Prison can be released, allowing them to accompany them with their ideology.

Soul Imprisonment: The soul-refined target can be imprisoned in the soul prison, or the released soul can be imprisoned in the prison again.

The prison tower stood up towards the sky at this time, and the sharp and sharp spire at the top seemed to pierce the blood moon in the sky.

Soul status: incomplete
Soul abilities that can be imprinted: Fire Dance, Tyrant Slash, Soul-Eating Bite
Soul Strength: Level 6 (broken, strength affected)
Can produce painful power: 348/hour
……

……

Cao Lie:? ? ?
"Soul capture?"

[It is found that the soul mark can be captured, and the soul prison is activated. Should the target soul be captured? ! 】

Remaining power of pain: 12 points (consuming the power of pain can imprint the prisoner’s ability)

Elegant movements are sometimes like a gentle breeze, and suddenly turn into sharp-edged killing moves. The combination of virtuality and reality is Huo Diao's fighting style.

But the information in his mind made him understand that he really had the so-called benefits of being a time traveler.

In front of his eyes was Huo Diao, who was imprisoned in a prison and his body was wrapped in chains of green energy. Wisps of energy were extracted through the chains, causing Huo Diao to struggle and scream in pain.

After taking a step back, he looked at the iron door on one side. Unlike the previous iron door, this iron door actually had the image of Huo Diao printed on it.

The walls were made of an unknown black stone, and the surface was covered with strange symbols and patterns, with mottled moss and black marks, giving Cao Lie a desolate and strange feeling.

He took two steps closer and pressed his hand on the iron door.

The so-called soul prison, literally means a place where the soul is imprisoned.

The corridors along the way were narrow and winding, and the walls were covered with rusty iron bars and chains. There was an unspeakable fear in the air, which gave him a strong uneasiness. It seemed that there was a huge prisoner behind every iron door along the way. fear.

He thought it was during the observation process that the memory of the battle was imprinted on his soul.

At this moment, a large amount of information poured into his mind.

Every soul imprisoned in prison will suffer endless torture in the prison, becoming the source of his pain power and continuously contributing the power of pain to him.

Not long after, Cao Lie stopped.

Soul Hook Lock: The soul of the dead target can be hooked into the soul prison. After consuming the power of pain to refine the soul, it can be imprisoned in the soul prison.

Just when Cao Lie thought he had understood some of the characteristics of Huo Diao's combat skills, a large amount of information poured into his mind out of thin air.

The information that emerged in his mind made Cao Lie suddenly realize that he had activated an incredible ability.

[Soul Warden: Cao Lie]:
Abilities: Soul Release, Soul Imprisonment, Soul Hook Lock.

Thick gray fog filled the space of consciousness, wrapping up this ancient building. A path of stairs extending into the building spread out in front of Cao Lie.

[Soul Prisoner: Huo Diao]

At this time, a blood moon rose from inside the building, and the symbols and patterns shone with a faint green light under the light. Indescribable power flowed quietly, washing away the mottled and traces of the building walls.

Consuming the power of pain can help him imprint the imprisoned person's ability into the soul.

He was even mentally prepared to die fighting for the expedition plan.

While he was pleasantly surprised to gain such a powerful ability, Cao Lie suddenly felt worried.

Suddenly, the space of consciousness changed, and a huge building rose out of thin air and enveloped Huo Diao.

On the way here, Kappa gave a more detailed introduction to the method of learning soul skills, but he did not mention that there would be prompt messages during the process of learning soul skills.

It is also about mastering soul skills. The direct imprint brought by his ability is simpler and more crude than comprehending and learning.

But entering the Soul Skill Pavilion this time, he came into contact with the incomplete soul refined by the wrathful god, which also helped him activate his potential special abilities.

After traveling through time and coming to this world, he also imagined that he had special abilities.

But when he saw the specific content of this message, he was dumbfounded.

With doubts, he chose "yes".

But after experiencing the cruel life and death on the front line, he gradually gave up this idea and did not think that he was anything special that was different from ordinary people.

With doubts, Cao Lie walked up the steps into the building.

He imprisoned Huo Diao's soul in his own soul prison. Will this attract the attention of the Furious God? If he is targeted by the Furious God, he will definitely die.

With the thought of leaving, the soul prison rising from the ground in the consciousness space disappeared, and the blood moon suspended in the sky also disappeared.

Cao Lie's consciousness returned to his body.

Looking at the statue of Huo Diao standing in front of him, Cao Lie withdrew his hand and pressed it again.

What he didn't expect was that his consciousness was sent to the sea of ​​consciousness space again, and the Huo Diao statue quickly melted in front of his eyes.

He originally thought that Huo Diao's incomplete soul had been captured by him, and logically the display of soul skills would fail, but he did not expect that the learning of soul skills could still continue.

After thinking briefly, he thought of a possibility.

Perhaps the soul prison imprisoned only a part of Huo Diao's soul, and the part inscribed with soul skills was still retained in the statue.

If this was possible, he no longer had to worry about extracting the soul of the statue to reveal his abilities, which would lead to the pursuit of the angry god.

Thinking of this, Cao Lie turned his attention to other statues.

The first floor was divided into multiple spaces. In addition to Huo Diao, the space he was in also had two statues.

If he could absorb all the souls of the statues standing on the first floor, his strength would increase explosively in a short period of time.

Without much hesitation, he came to the second statue and placed his hand on the statue.

Suddenly the consciousness space appeared again, and what appeared in front of him was the image of a frost giant whose body was covered with frost.

In the blink of an eye, the soul prison rose from the ground and enveloped the frost giant.

Imprisonment information flooded into his mind:
[Frost Giant]:
Soul status: incomplete
Soul abilities that can be imprinted: Sky Collapse Hammer, Frozen Thousand Miles, Extremely Cold Body

Soul Strength: Level 6 (broken, strength affected)
Can produce painful power: 349/hour
……

After imprisoning the soul of the frost giant, Cao Lie came to the third statue.

After imprisoning the soul of Scorpion Braid, the owner of the third statue, he passed through the invisible energy barrier and came to the second act space on the first floor of the Soul Skill Pavilion.

What appears in front of you are the same three statues.

The first statue is a monster named Xing Lei. Its body is like a dragon, its body is winding upward, full of power and majesty. Even in the statue state, its scales still shine with lightning, and its huge mouth and sharp claws are like To pounce on the enemy in front. After contact with the statue, consciousness enters the sea of ​​consciousness space.

What appears in front of you is the statue of Xing Lei.

As the stones on the statue fell off, the sky became cloudy, and purple thunder as thick as a bowl fell down, hitting the statue continuously.

Every thunder and lightning struck seemed to inject life into the statue. Xing Lei opened his angry eyes, thunder arcs flashed in his eyes, and swirling arcs of electricity appeared around him, as if he could control the thunder and lightning of the world.

Ang~!

A loud roar resounded through the sky, and Xing Lei, who broke free from the shackles of the statue, flew into the sky and hovered in the sky.

But Cao Lie didn't wait for Xing Lei to show his ability before he summoned the Soul Prison.

As ancient buildings rose from the ground, the Xing Lei suspended in the sky was suppressed by invisible forces and fell, and was finally sealed in a cage.

Xing Lei's information then appeared in Cao Lie's mind.

[Soul Prisoner: Xing Lei]

Soul status: incomplete
Soul abilities that can be imprinted: thunder breaks, breaks the sky, shakes the sky...

Soul Strength: Level 7 (broken, strength affected)
Can produce painful power: 548/hour
……

After sealing the remaining souls in the six statues one after another, Cao Lie walked towards the third scene on the first floor, only to find that he had hit an invisible energy barrier and could no longer move forward.

Realizing that the bottom arena could only observe and learn the soul skills of the six statues, Cao Lie did not force it.

Each of the six prisoners held in the Soul Prison has the ability to kill the original god, and he is very satisfied.

The next thing he needs to figure out is how to engrave the abilities of these six prisoners into his soul by consuming the power of pain.

When he walked out of the Soul Skill Pavilion, he found that the kappa had already left.

Following the route in his memory, Cao Lie spent an hour returning to his room.

After closing the door, his consciousness sank into the sea of ​​consciousness, and the prison of his soul resurfaced.

At this time, the pain power produced by the Soul Prison has reached 2321 points, which is enough for him to imprint an ability.

After looking through the abilities and characteristics of the six prisoners, Cao Lie chose the soul ability of the first prisoner "Huo Diao", Huo Diao Zhanwu.

As the power of pain is consumed, relevant information about this ability floods into his mind.

He directly learned how to use this combat skill, as if it was an innate ability that was born with him, and there was no need to consolidate learning at all.

Rather than saying it is learning, it is obviously more appropriate to use the word "comprehension" to describe it.

After exiting the soul prison, Cao Lie walked to the end of the room, opened the door and went to the lake to start practicing.

Fire Diao War Dance is a melee martial art that combines domineering and deceitful techniques. It has both powerful and majestic attacks as well as weird and cunning virtual and real killing moves.

Close your eyes and let your body follow the memory of your soul.

This feeling is very wonderful. When the body is twisted, it seems to be transformed into a soaring Huo Diao, spreading its wings and overlooking the earth, with an overwhelming momentum.

During the process of performing soul skills, the energy and blood in the body surge like rivers and gather in the hands.

At this moment, the hands are like wings. They can spread their wings and fly high into the sky, or they can turn into steel knives and tear the clouds apart.

Following the guidance of his soul memory, Cao Lie's figure moved quickly.

Sometimes it dodges and moves sideways like a ghost, agile and elegant, sometimes it is like an eagle striking the sky, swift and fierce.

When the palm of the hand is in the shape of a knife, the cold light shoots forward like a gust of wind and rain.

When the hand is in a fist, it is like a sharp blade sheathed, concealing murderous intent.

With the continuous switching between offensive and defensive postures, the air under the virtual and real killing moves seemed to be torn apart by this force, and each move made a sharp roar, like the roar of fire.

When Cao Lie retracted his hands and opened his eyes, he found that his physical fitness seemed to have improved a lot in the process of understanding.

As Kappa said, soul skills are the process of soul cultivation.

The strength of the soul will also feed back to the body.

This realization gave Cao Lie strong confidence in the next competition.

Being captured and brought to the Arena of Rage may not be a nightmare, but an opportunity to rise.

In the outside world, how could there be so many pure strong souls for him to imprison and inscribe.

But here, as long as he continues to climb up the competitive ladder, the authority of the Soul Skill Pavilion will gradually be released. He can imprison the souls of a large number of powerful people and understand what they have learned throughout their lives by consuming the power of pain.

Such a growth environment cannot be found in the outside world.

It's a blessing in disguise.

……

The time came 25 days later.

Cao Lie stood on the competitive stage again.

This time his opponent was a monster with a rhinoceros head. Its skin looked thick and hard, and its skin had a dark brown texture, as if it had accumulated strong toughness after years of baptism.

Its limbs were so muscular that it made the ground shake after jumping onto the ring.

The most obvious feature on the body is a single horn on the forehead, which is closely connected to the skin, like a sharp sword, shining with a cold light.

On its body, it was still wearing the animal skin armor it had worn before being captured. It was inlaid with various mysterious runes and shone faintly in the sunlight.

After observing more than a hundred battles, Cao Lie discovered a characteristic.

Competitive fighters who wear armor and have not replaced it since the battle are generally stronger.

When he first arrived, he was also wearing an inner armor from the first battle of the Human Empire.

As a result, within two battles, the armor was so damaged that it could no longer be used. Wearing it would only affect the battle, so it had to be taken off.

There are only two possibilities for winning six games in a row and still wearing the armor.

The armor's defense was strong enough, and it was not seriously damaged in six consecutive battles.

Another possibility is that the opponent can easily defeat the opponent every time they fight, and their armor will not be damaged in the hard battle.

No matter which possibility is possible, it is enough to prove that the opponent's strength cannot be underestimated.

As the characters above the arena changed, Cao Lie and the Rhino Warriors charged at each other at the same time.

In terms of speed, Cao Lie was obviously faster. His right arm clenched into a fist and hit the Rhino Warrior's neck at a tricky angle.

The rhino warrior also reacted very quickly. Realizing that he would be hit first, his offensive posture suddenly changed to defensive, and his right arm was suddenly placed across his neck, trying to resist the heavy punch.

When Cao Lie saw this scene, a sharp look appeared in his eyes.

The clenched right hand suddenly transformed into a hand knife. It looked like an explosive blow after charging, but it instantly changed the attack position while moving forward. The hand knife slashed firmly into the chest of the rhinoceros warrior.

The combination of virtuality and reality is the terrifying aspect of Huo Diao Zhanwu.

When he pulled out his arm, bringing up a pool of blood, there was a broken, beating ball of flesh in the palm of his hand.

The rhinoceros warrior's body trembled, he took two steps back and fell to the ground.

At this moment, Cao Lie turned around and walked towards the tunnel, throwing the meat ball in his hand to the rear ring without looking back.
