Chapter 411 New World, New System
On a quiet night, the bright stars in the sky dotted the endless darkness. Suddenly, a meteor broke through the silence of the universe, like a shining pearl, shining with dazzling light. It was like an angel's teardrop, crossing the sky, and was destined to fall on the top of a distant snow-capped mountain.
The snow-capped mountains tower into the clouds, like a giant beast covered in silver. Under the light of the meteors, the outline of the snow-capped mountains outlines a magnificent picture. The top of the snow-capped peak is pure white, like an angel's throne, quietly gazing at the sky.
The meteor gradually approached, and its tail drew a beautiful arc in the dark night, like a brilliant stream of light. The snow-capped mountains seemed to be welcoming this magical and incredible arrival, quiet and solemn, like a tacit stage between the earth and the sky.
The meteor fell on the top of the snow-capped mountain, bringing a magnificent and shocking impact. As the meteor descended, a powerful energy erupted on the snow-capped mountain, like a miracle of the fusion of heaven and earth.
First, a dazzling brilliance spread rapidly, illuminating the entire mountain range. The instantaneous brilliance brought by the meteor made the snow-capped mountains seem to wake up from the darkness in an instant, breaking the silence of the night and making everything bright and vivid.
Then, a huge shock wave swept across, and the snowflakes were rolled up like feathers, forming a white vortex. The snow on the snow-capped mountains was stirred up at this moment, like white petals flying in the air. This impact force seemed to be the breath of the earth, and it made every corner of the snow-capped mountains feel the leap of life.
At the same time, the tremor of the mountain spread throughout the snow-capped mountains. The moment the meteor hit the ground, the energy released made the snow-capped mountains tremble, as if the entire mountain range was responding to this natural feast. The glaciers on the snow-capped mountains also made a low rumbling sound, echoing in the night sky.
As the shock wave dissipated, the light of the meteor gradually faded, revealing the figures of two young people. They stood on the top of the snowy mountain, the boy with purple hair and purple eyes and the girl with golden hair and red eyes, exuding a mysterious aura.
The boy's purple hair covered his shoulders, fluttering in the breeze, emitting a deep purple light. His pupils were as deep as the starry sky, revealing wisdom and determination. His slender figure showed an elegant temperament, and his skin was as white as snow, making him look even more handsome. A smile always hung on the corner of his mouth, giving people a warm and confident feeling.
The girl's blonde hair falls like a waterfall, and the slightly wavy curls make her look even more charming. The mysterious light in her red eyes is like the stars in the night sky, which makes people indulge in it. Her face is like a fairy in a painting, with delicate and three-dimensional features, exuding an indescribable beauty. She wears a crimson cape, which flutters gently as if it is a colorful cloud floating in the night sky, adding a sense of mystery.
The two stood on the top of the snow-capped mountains, the stars shining on their beautiful faces, forming a picturesque picture, giving people a feeling of a match made in heaven.
They were Xu Xingyu and Gu Qiuxi, and now they had finally arrived at the location of the Dragon God's Nine Tests.
Xu Xingyu and Gu Qiuxi stood on the top of the snow-capped mountain, gazing at the new world before them. The starlight sprinkled on their shoulders, as if adding a layer of mysterious solemnity to this moment.
Xu Xingyu sighed softly: "This is a new world, and I don't know what kind of place it is."
Gu Qiuxi chuckled and said, "No matter what, as long as I have Brother Xingyu, there will be no problem."
Hearing this, Xu Xingyu touched the other person's head helplessly and said, "You are such a fool, girl. I am not omnipotent. By the way, Qiu'er, do you feel it?"
"Are you talking about the changes in our bodies?" Gu Qiuxi said solemnly, "Well, I can indeed feel some changes in our bodies after we came to this plane, but I can't really tell what they are. However, in my personal perception, this change should be harmless."
Xu Xingyu nodded and looked at the new world in the distance: "If it's as expected, this should be the plane that changed our original cultivation system to the cultivation system of this world in order for us to adapt to the power here."
"Ah!" Gu Qiuxi covered her mouth and said, "Does that mean we have no way to release our martial spirits? How are we going to fight like this?"
You have to know that the combat power of the two soul masters is based on the martial souls they possess. Although they don't have the power of a martial soul master, they are definitely not weak, but their strength will definitely be weakened by 50% to 60%!
The reason why it's only 50% to 60% is because both of them are strong people who also focus on physical training. But even so, such weakness is still quite great. Facing a real master, even if they don't lose, they will have to pay a huge price.
In response, Xu Xingyu just comforted him: "Don't worry, it's not as serious as you think. Try to release your martial spirit and you will know."
Although she still had some doubts about Xu Xingyu's Chinese, as Xu Xingyu's good sister, Gu Qiuxi still tried to release her martial spirit.
However, it was different from the previous spirit ring manifestations of the martial spirit. What was released was a black and white crown wrapped in a golden halo, giving people a feeling of yin and yang blending, and there were six shining stars on the crown.
"What is this?" Gu Qiuxi looked at the crown in front of her with a puzzled expression. She had never seen this thing before, but she could feel that she had a very deep relationship with this crown.
At this time, Xu Xingyu on the side exclaimed: "Six stars, huh? According to the cultivation system of Douluo Continent, you are already a Soul Emperor. It seems that you have also worked hard in the Shenlong Pond."
After saying that, Xu Xingyu also released a black and white crown like Gu Qiuxi, but unlike Gu Qiuxi, his crown was wrapped in golden and gray halos, and there were two more stars.
Seeing this and combining it with what Xu Xingyu had said before, Gu Qiuxi also understood that the stars on the crown represented the level of cultivation, but what was the use of this thing? Gu Qiuxi could only look at Xu Xingyu and wait for him to explain it to her.
Xu Xingyu explained slowly, "Although I'm not sure what this crown is, it is, as expected, similar to the spirit rings of our spirit masters. I believe you can also feel that although we have temporarily lost our spirit rings, our spirit skills have not disappeared. Instead, they exist in our bodies in a form similar to a brand."
Upon hearing this, Gu Qiuxi tried to release her first soul skill, the Golden Dragon Body. As usual, her body was surrounded by golden light, and at the same time, her various attributes also improved.
However, Gu Qiuxi did not feel relieved, but frowned: "You said that we can still use our spirit skills, but why do I feel that my control over my spirit skills has decreased a lot?"
"This is because the soul skills we used to release were all assisted by soul rings. The soul ring can be regarded as a soul guide, but this soul guide stores a skill. As long as we inject soul power, the soul ring will adjust the output according to the injected soul power. The soul master does not have to worry about this process at all."
"But this world is different. Here we don't have a convenient fool-proof system like spirit rings, so we can only rely on ourselves to control our skills."
"That's why you felt the amplification was a little weak when you used the Golden Dragon Body this time. You failed to fully control the output of energy, which resulted in some energy being wasted. In the end, the Golden Dragon Body felt weaker than before."
Gu Qiuxi made an assessment and said, "So from this point of view, this world is weaker than our Douluo Continent, right? After all, we have spirit rings."
But what Gu Qiuxi didn't expect was that Xu Xingyu shook her head and said, "On the contrary, even if this plane has not yet reached the level of Douluo Continent, its future will definitely go further than Douluo Continent."
"Why?" Gu Qiuxi asked in surprise. Although she was the incarnation of a soul beast, she did not like the soul ring cultivation method very much. After all, each soul ring represented the life of a soul beast. But that was only before the soul system appeared.
"Didn't you notice? Since spirit rings don't exist in this world, it means that the practitioners here don't need to hunt spirit beasts to practice. At the same time, because there are no spirit rings, the skills they use are all self-created spirit skills in our world."
"Humans are stupid creatures, so in order not to be killed by their own stupidity, they constantly hone their wisdom and create all kinds of things to make up for their shortcomings."
“I believe that humans have created countless skills through inheritance from generation to generation, and these skills have been passed down to the present day. Maybe some of them have been lost along the way, but new skills have also been created and passed down to the next generation just like our ancestors did.”
"Spirit rings are certainly convenient, but they also limit human creativity. With the skills provided by spirit rings, except for a small number of humans, most humans will be lazy because of this convenience and will not want to create their own skills."
"So my dream is that one day humans will no longer need to absorb spirit rings to advance, but will be able to practice independently as long as they have energy, just like the people in this world."
Listening to Xu Xingyu's explanation, Gu Qiuxi gradually understood Xu Xingyu's thoughts. She also began to realize that the disadvantages of soul rings were greater than she had imagined, but this also raised a question.
"Brother Xingyu, I roughly understand everything you said. But if there is no spirit ring, then the rules of peace between humans and beasts that you set up in the Spirit Qi Pagoda cannot be maintained for long."
"Everyone in the current Soul Contract Pagoda can maintain this belief because the Soul Method has brought common benefits to everyone. Soul masters can obtain soul rings without killing soul beasts, and they can also get a soul thug. Soul beasts can get faster training time, and even achieve a different kind of immortality to some extent."
"If there are no spirit rings, then there is no need for spirits to exist. Doesn't that mean that the basis for cooperation between humans and spirit beasts is gone?"
Hearing this, Xu Xingyu also smiled bitterly and said, "I understand what you said, so this is just a hypothesis after all. Before I can think of a way to completely resolve the conflict, I can only maintain this cooperation for now."
"Let's get back to the point. Now you feel that you can't control your spirit skills as usual. Why don't you take this opportunity to practice your spirit skills? From the information I received, there is no time limit for this assessment, so take some time to wait for you to become familiar with your spirit skills again?"
"That's not a problem, but Brother Xingyu, don't you need to spend some time to familiarize yourself with your soul skills again?"
Xu Xingyu did not answer Gu Qiuxi's question directly, but stood on the top of the snow mountain and took a breath. A mysterious atmosphere began to fill the surroundings. His purple hair fluttered gently in the breeze, and his body exuded a deep purple light. He smiled slightly, with a hint of wisdom and...
Suddenly, he raised his hand and water elements condensed out of thin air, forming a stream of clear jade-like water, floating in his palm like a lively stream. The water elements were delicate and flexible, and following Xu Xingyu's thoughts, they danced like dancing notes into a beautiful water curtain.
Then, he flicked his finger lightly, and the fire element bloomed like an intoxicating flame at his fingertips. The fire flickered, forming a gorgeous spark, reflecting the water element. The water and fire merged into a wonderful dance of interweaving elements.
Xu Xingyu's eyes moved to the distance. A breeze blew by, driving the flow of wind elements. He raised his fingers lightly, and the wind elements swirled around him like feathers, forming a light airflow. The snow on the snow-capped mountains was blown up by the wind, like a dream.
Then, he lightly touched the ground with his fingers, and the earth element responded immediately. The ground trembled, and the earth element condensed into solid rock, forming a small rock mountain. This rock mountain seemed to be the incarnation of the earth, making the atmosphere of the entire snowy mountain top become steady and heavy.
The light flickered, and Xu Xingyu turned his gaze to the sky. He mobilized the light element. A bright beam of light rose from his hand, illuminating the entire night sky. The light penetrated the darkness, like a sacred beam of light, illuminating the snow-capped mountain where he was.
Finally, he raised his palm lightly, and the dark element descended like night. Under his control, the darkness was no longer eerie and terrifying, but a peaceful and deep night sky. The shadows danced like endless stars in the sky.
Xu Xingyu perfectly controlled the six elements in his hands. They intertwined to form a beautiful elemental painting. He stood on the top of the snowy mountain, like the master of the elements, mastering the power of nature. At this moment, he showed his extremely skillful control over the six elements of water, fire, wind, earth, light, and darkness, as if he had merged with nature.
The scene in front of her shocked Gu Qiu Xi Yang greatly. She had already known how powerful Xu Xingyu was since the time he forged the Abyss, but she had never faced this power in person. Now she had a clearer understanding of Xu Xingyu's strength.
At this time, Xu Xingyu said: "Don't forget that my mental power is at the god level, so it only takes a few seconds for me to adjust it. And I have also imagined how I would fight if I encountered a blocked spirit ring."
"After all, I have such a soul skill myself, so I have practiced for a period of time with my soul ring blocked to ensure that my skills can be used independently."
"So I'm the only one who needs to be familiar with soul skills?"
"Don't worry, I will guide you from the side."
