Chapter 28: First Soul Skill, Magic Mirror Ice Crystal

On the way out, Hua Tuo even found Jia Xu.

"Wenhe, I gave you a look just now, why didn't you speak up and advise Your Highness? The Mirror Shadow Beast is not suitable for Your Highness at all. Your Highness chose to cultivate the Royal Swan Martial Spirit and take the route of strong attack, so naturally you have to find a suitable light-type soul beast!"

Jia Xu looked at Hua Tuo and replied, "Divine Doctor Hua, do you think I would be the kind of person who would advise His Highness?"

"You!" Looking at Jia Xu, Hua Tuo slapped his forehead. Naturally, the old guy Jia Xu would not risk his life to give advice. Although this old guy is loyal to His Highness, he is also loyal to himself.

I was really anxious just now and actually forgot that Jia Xu was such a person.

Jia Xu continued to say to Hua Tuo: "Dr. Hua, you are good at treating people, but you are not sure about giving advice to His Highness. Moreover, His Highness has always been eccentric in his actions, but in the end, they often have miraculous effects. This time may be the same."

Hua Tuo originally planned to let Jia Xu delay the capture of the 5,000-year-old Mirror Shadow Beast, thinking that if Xue Qinghe took a long time to get the Mirror Shadow Beast, he would give up and choose other soul beasts.

Judging from Jia Xu’s attitude now, I’m afraid that’s impossible.

Jia Xu did not delay afterwards. In just a few days, he captured a Mirror Shadow Beast with a cultivation base of nearly five thousand years and handed it over to Xue Qinghe.

Guan Yu and Xu Chu were guarding on both sides of the Xueqing River. In front of the Xueqing River, there was a dying soul beast with a huge body and a gorgeous halo all over its body.

This soul beast is over five meters long, and its entire body is covered with extremely peculiar scales. Each scale is like a small mirror. If it stands still, it can reflect the surrounding environment, obstructing people's vision and making it impossible to see clearly without careful observation.

But at this time, the soul beast already had many scars on its body. The largest wound even completely spanned the entire abdomen. Blue blood continued to flow out and had already covered the surrounding ground.

This is the Mirror Shadow Beast that Jia Xu gave to Xue Qinghe.

Along with the blood flowed away the life of the Mirror Shadow Beast. It was a luxury for the Mirror Shadow Beast to move at this moment, and it had no ability to resist Xue Qinghe at all.

He could only watch Xue Qinghe slowly come to his side.

"Five thousand year old Mirror Shadow Beast, I hope you can give me the soul skills I expect!" Xue Qinghe murmured to himself.

Then he raised his hand and swung his knife. The sharp blade in his hand, which was more than a foot long, pierced deeply into the part of the Mirror Shadow Beast's neck that had lost the protection of scales, completely ending the life of the Mirror Shadow Beast.

Not long after the Mirror Shadow Beast died, a purple soul ring symbolizing a thousand years floated out from its corpse and finally hovered above the corpse.

It was Xue Qinghe's first time absorbing a spirit ring, so he couldn't help but feel a little excited and nervous.

Sitting cross-legged in front of the purple soul ring, Xue Qinghe released his swan martial soul. The golden swan martial soul spread its wings behind Xue Qinghe and summoned the purple soul ring.

The purple soul ring responded by turning into a purple torrent and pouring into Xue Qinghe's body.

Mirror Shadow Beast is a cold attribute soul beast, so its soul ring will naturally carry a cold feeling. Fortunately, Xue Qinghe had already achieved immunity to water and fire in the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, so this coldness could not hurt Xue Qinghe at all, it just gave him a cool feeling.

It took Xue Qinghe a full hour to complete the absorption of this soul ring.

All the cold air currents in the body merged into one, turning into a circle of faint waves that completely integrated into the body. Xue Qinghe, with his back to the crowd, also slowly opened his eyes at this moment.

There was no disappointment in his eyes, but rather a kind of joy of having achieved what he wanted.

After Hua Tuo examined Xue Qinghe's body and made sure he was fine, everyone was finally relieved.

After all, it is really unbelievable that the first soul ring absorbs the soul ring with five thousand years of cultivation.

"I wonder what soul skill your Highness gained by absorbing the soul ring of the Mirror Shadow Beast?" Guan Yu asked carefully. Xue Qinghe did not rush to answer, but smiled slightly, raised his hand, soul power surged, the soul ring glowed purple, and then ice mirrors like ice cubes appeared around Xue Qinghe.

Rather than explaining it verbally, it is more direct to demonstrate it in practice.

Looking at the ice mirrors protecting the Xueqing River, Hua Tuo had an expression of "as expected".

After absorbing the Mirror Shadow Beast's soul ring, His Highness indeed inherited the Mirror Shadow Beast's defensive characteristics and gained a defensive soul skill.

Xue Qinghe looked at Guan Yu and said, "Yun Chang, I need you to help me test your soul skills and attack these ice mirrors."

As he was speaking, ice mirrors lined up closely in front of Xue Qinghe, finally forming an ice wall.

"Yes, Your Highness! That offends Guan!"

Guan Yu held the Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand and slashed with it. The sword energy spread out, and in an instant, all the ice mirrors in front of Xue Qinghe were completely shattered.

Fortunately, Guan Yu put away his sword in time and did not hurt Xue Qinghe himself.

Looking at the shattered ice mirror, Xue Qinghe's mouth twitched.

Good fellow, I am your lord after all, how can you not give me any face? All the ice mirrors were shattered directly.

But Guan Yu spoke at this time.

"Your Highness's ice mirrors have a very strong defensive power. It is impossible to break them if you are not a Soul Master. Even if you are a Soul Master, you will need to use some tricks to break them."

The age of the soul ring determines the level of the soul skill. After all, it is a soul ring with a cultivation level of nearly 5,000 years, and it is a Mirror Shadow Beast with amazing defense. These ice mirrors are naturally powerful in defense.

Guan Yu then expressed some regret: "Your Highness is going to be a strong attack spirit master, which is somewhat contrary to your path of cultivation."

Hearing this, Xue Qinghe raised his lips and smiled mysteriously: "Who said I'm not an offensive spirit master?"

Before Guan Yu and others could react to the meaning of Xue Qinghe's words, they saw Xue Qinghe wave his hand, and another piece of ice mirror appeared in front of them.

The only difference is that these ice mirrors are different from the previous ones. They are bigger, and the two sides are not horizontal. Instead, they are convex in the middle and short on both sides.

Guan Yu was puzzled by this until Xue Qinghe's swan martial spirit emitted a swan glow.

The swan light passed through three convex ice mirrors and condensed into a tiny spot of light. This spot of light fell on Guan Yu. Even with Guan Yu's strength as a Titled Douluo, he felt the burning pain, and a hole was burned in his light armor.

"This" Guan Yu was full of confusion.

Because the light spots that Xue Qinghe had just condensed through the three convex ice mirrors actually contained extremely strong aggressiveness. In Guan Yu's opinion, it was comparable to a full-strength attack from a Soul Master.

Hua Tuo and Jia Xu also looked suspicious, because Xue Qinghe's light attribute power seemed to be converted into fire attribute power after passing through the ice mirror.

Xue Qinghe naturally couldn't explain to them that the principle behind this was the light converging effect of a convex lens. Through the convex lens, the divergence of light was reduced, so that it converged on one point, converting light energy into internal energy and heat energy.

Because this is a problem of cognition, the Three Kingdoms did not understand this.
