Chapter 101:Yan Que's First Soul Skill

...

Yan Que stood up, and her spirit power erupted from her body. A yellow soul ring shimmered and revolved around her body, emitting an invisible aura that spread out from her body, causing dust and fallen leaves to fly up.

Feeling the immense power within her body, she enjoyed a sensation she had never experienced before. With every movement, she had to adapt to this power.

The feeling after acquiring a soul ring was much stronger than before.

With a thought, the brownish-yellow soul power condensed in her hand. With a casual press down, her palm was a meter away from the ground, and in the next moment, the ground collapsed, leaving behind a deep pit. Then, Yan Que's palm flipped upwards, causing the ground to shake as a stone pillar abruptly rose from the ground, reaching a height of over one meter.

"Master! How is it? Isn't Yan Que much stronger?" Yan Que's face beamed with excitement as she looked at Zeng Yi, hoping to receive praise from her master.

"Not bad, but you still have a long way to go compared to your master," Zeng Yi laughed lightly.

Yan Que's previous move was not a soul-skill attack, just a simple use of her martial soul. As an elemental-type martial soul, it didn't have a fixed form. The owner of this martial soul could control the elemental attribute through their spirit power and manipulate the terrain with an earth attribute. However, this required precise control over one's spirit power, and the current strength of Yan Que could only achieve this much.

If she had the power of an eight-ringed Soul Douluo, she could easily transform rocks into a gigantic stone dragon without any problem. This was the terror of an elemental martial soul.

[Name: Yan Que]

[Martial Soul: Earth (Elemental)]

[Spirit Power: Level 12 (Soul Master)]

After taking a look at Yan Que's current strength, Zeng Yi was somewhat surprised. He didn't expect that after absorbing the soul ring, little Yan Que would advance two levels in a row. However, considering that Yan Que had been at level ten for half a year and had undergone Zeng Yi's strict training, it was normal for her to advance two levels.

"Use your soul skill so I can see its power," Zeng Yi said. He was curious about what kind of power Yan Que's first soul skill possessed.

"Alright." Yan Que nodded, and the yellow soul ring on her body flashed with light. Her spirit power surged out, and her soul skill silently activated.

"First soul skill, Stone Pierce!"

With a light shout from Yan Que, her feet thumped on the ground, causing a heavy soul-power vibration. Zeng Yi felt that the place where Yan Que stood seemed to have changed as if an area had formed.

In the next moment, dozens of small stones rotated rapidly around Yan Que's body as if they were being attracted by something.

"Go!" Yan Que shouted.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...

Instantly, the stones revolving around her body shot toward Zeng Yi at high speed, producing explosive sonic booms in the air.

The flight speed of these stones was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, they reached Zeng Yi, but his face remained calm and composed. He swung his arm, and an instantly high-pressure air barrier appeared in front of him, blocking the incoming stones. The high-speed airflow caused the flying stones to stop momentarily in mid-air before falling to the ground.

"Huh? Why is it like this?" Yan Que felt a little disappointed to see that her soul-skill attack was easily blocked by her master.

"Hehe, little Yan Que, there is still a long way to go before you can catch up to your master, so it turned out like this," Zeng Yi couldn't help but laugh at her pouting appearance, trying to console her.

Yan Que's soul skill was just a simple high-speed projectile attack using stones. To be honest, with Zeng Yi diligently training her, she could easily perform such an attack. So what was the point of this soul skill? It seemed like a waste.

"Little Yan Que, is this all your soul skill is capable of, or does it have other effects?" Zeng Yi asked gravely. He felt that this soul skill was not as simple as it seemed, otherwise, it wouldn't be worthy of Yan Que's top-notch martial soul, and the quality of this soul ring was also superb.

"Of course, this soul skill also has other effects," Yan Que replied excitedly.

As expected!

Seeing Yan Que's excited expression, confirmed Zeng Yi's suspicion.

Yan Que said, "With my first soul skill, I can create a stone area centered around myself. The size of this area is ten meters from my body. When inside this stone area, my speed increases by thirty percent, and the soul power consumption when using my martial soul for attacks is reduced by ten percent."

"And also, the size of this area can expand as my strength increases. How is it? Isn't it amazing, Master?" Yan Que quickly explained the effects of her soul skill to Zeng Yi, like a child who had received candy and was excitedly showing it off to an adult.

Upon hearing this, Zeng Yi was deeply shocked. This soul skill was incredibly powerful. It could create an area and provide a thirty percent increase in speed and a ten percent reduction in soul power consumption. Was this just the first soul skill? It couldn't be underestimated. It truly deserved to be a top-quality elemental martial soul, as well as an excellent soul ring.

However, it also had a significant drawback, which was that the bonus effect was only applicable within this area. This meant that it could only be used effectively in a static fight. Moreover, the area size was rather small, but it had the potential to grow, which was quite abnormal.

But if she used this soul skill multiple times, wouldn't the area of this stone field become larger?

Zeng Yi couldn't help but think. If the consumption of releasing this soul skill wasn't too great, she could definitely do that. In that case, the initial problem of the small area would be solved.

Furthermore, why did this skill feel so similar to the skill of the Champion Yan Que in the game of my past life? Could it be that little Yan Que had really crossed over?

Zeng Yi looked at his disciple Yan Que's excited and eager face, and he couldn't help but suspect.

"Your soul skill is very powerful!" Zeng Yi's expression instantly changed, becoming serious.

"Really?"

"Of course, but also, there's something else I want to tell you."

"What is it, Master?" Yan Que looked at her master with innocent and radiant eyes.

"In the future, when fighting others, remember not to shout out the name of your soul skill. Just think about it silently in your heart. Understand?" Zeng Yi instructed in a solemn tone.

"Oh, but wouldn't shouting it out be more imposing?" Yan Que said. She always thought that shouting out her moves would make them more imposing and cool.

What kind of imposing presence can you have? Little Yan Que, you're only eight years old, not even at the age of being a chuunibyou, so why are you acting like one? No, my disciple cannot become like this.

"Hehe, little Yan Que, you should know that many soul skills usually manifest their effects through their names. Just like your Stone Pierce, when people hear it, they feel like they are being attacked by stones. This way, others can quickly react. Therefore, shouting out your soul skill or even introducing your soul skill to others is a very foolish thing to do, understand?"

"So that's how it is!" Yan Que nodded in understanding. She suddenly realized that her behavior was indeed foolish, and her face turned red with embarrassment.

"Sorry, Master. I won't do it in the future."

Zeng Yi was very satisfied with Yan Que's reaction. "Since that's the case, let's go back. Otherwise, we'll have to spend the night with the soul beasts."

From the moment Yan Que absorbed the soul ring until now, darkness had already descended. The moon in the sky could be seen through the dense tree branches and leaves, outlining its shape.

The Hunting Soul Forest was not very large and couldn't be compared to the Sunset Forest. Moreover, many soul masters entered here to hunt soul beasts. With Zeng Yi's current strength, he could distinctly sense movements within a kilometer, making it easy for him to find someone.

Getting lost inside was not something that would happen to him.

With Yan Que in tow, Zeng Yi quickly found a group of soul masters who happened to be leaving the forest, so he hitched a ride with them.

Sword Douluo was still on his way.
