Chapter 153: A Rank-5 Soul and Its Features
“I might as well wait for a day or two!”
Although it was tempting to use the Eagle Men as targets for the sniper rifle, and he was very confident that he could control the Serpent of Death on his hand after the Fusion, Ji Ye eventually held back his urge, because it wasn’t time to expose the power of this lethal weapon yet.
“Master?”
Seeing that Ji Ye left the room, Li Qing looked at him hopefully.
“It should be good to go now!”
Ji Ye nodded at him.
Then, he grabbed the fused heavy sniper rifle and aimed it at the soft golden armor three hundred meters away!
Bam!
A silver bullet with a huge caliber dashed out of the gun that looked like the mouth of a serpent and hit the chest of the soft golden armor precisely.
Bam!
The next silver bullet that followed the first one immediately hit the helmet on the armor, right in between the eyebrows!
“Master, nice shot!”
Mister Bug finally succeeded in kissing Ji Ye’s a*s this time.
After completing the Fusion, Ji Ye spent a thousand EXP points to further grasp how to use this gun. It was only natural that he hit the critical parts from so far away so easily.
“The main problem with your design is the gunstock that’s made of red wood. This material is...”
Ji Ye informed Li Qing and his assistants of the “drawbacks” he found after the Fusion.
“I see...”
Everybody was greatly enlightened after hearing what Ji Ye said.
Technically speaking, the precision of Serpent of Death had reached “Superior” after Ji Ye’s Fusion, and the bullets in it were “Perfect” in terms of structure and weight, so there wouldn’t be any errors at all when the bullets were boosted out of the barrel!
However, errors were still inevitable when the targets were too far away because the bullets were prone to wind and air frictions when they flew across a long distance.
“Maybe I can consider fusing Extraordinary power similar to the Eagle Men’s green light with the bullets, to create some sort of special bullets!”
Ji Ye considered the matter.
Of course, he had to wait until his Fusion talent cooled down.
Besides, speaking of the Eagle Men...
“The Eagle Men seem to be really planning to buy themselves more time!”
Ji Ye walked a few steps out of the metal factory and then took the Mirage Dragon Pearl out of his pocket. Focusing his attention, he saw changing views in the translucent Mirage Dragon Pearl.
Then, the image of the Eagle Men’s settlement from a certain perspective in the sky popped up!
It was exactly Mirage Cloud Mirror, the Perfect-level skill he obtained after killing the Mirage Dragon!
Of course, “Mirror” was only a metaphorical expression; this skill didn’t have to manifest as a mirror when it was carried out.
In particular, because this Mirage Dragon Pearl was an item that contained extraordinary power, the Mirage Cloud Mirror that was cast out based on it was even more effective than the description.
Because this skill did nothing more than absorbing the rays of light that the clouds reflected, the Eagle Men couldn’t sense Ji Ye’s detection at all, however sharp their eyes were.
The images lacked details because the perspective was from the clouds in the high sky, but it was enough to see the Eagle Men’s mobilization.
Also, Ji Ye could totally change the perspective and take advantage of the dispersion of rays on the surface of the ocean, which could make him observe the Eagle Men more clearly.
It was safe to say that the Eagle Men couldn’t possibly play any trick during the day.
“However, the Eagle Men have their own methods of reconnaissance too!”
After putting the Mirage Dragon Pearl back, Ji Ye raised his sniper rifle and looked at the sky through the scope.
Above the human settlement, a few birds, which appeared to be covered in tough golden feathers and were similar to the pair of Golden Condors that Ji Ye killed earlier but smaller in size, in the Serpent of Death’s scope were hovering in the high sky!
That was the reason why the sniper rifle was never taken out of the metal factory during the whole test.
After all, having destroyed three alien settlements and improved their own settlement to Extraordinary Rank-4, the Eagle Men must have their expertise too.
“Is it possible that the Eagle Men have items similar to the Alpha Wolf’s Mark? If that’s true, I’ll be looking forward to defeating the Eagle Men.”
...
“Well, I should probably improve my soul power to Extraordinary Rank-5 first.
“Theoretically speaking, there should be some changes!”
It was already nightfall after he took care of the gun problem.
Ji Ye made a decision after returning to his own room in the Twin Dragon Mount fort.
Hum!
He took out the Totem Wolf Skin, and the silver Alpha Wolf’s Mark appeared on his forehead.
A tremendous amount of dark air flooded out of the Totem Wolf Skin into the Alpha Wolf’s Mark, melting into his own soul.
Inevitably, a lot of the dark air escaped in the process.
After all, this was a method to improve the soul level by force, similar to the transplantation of cultivation.
Also, it was because the Alpha Wolf’s Mark was also a Transcendent item. He hadn’t fully controlled it yet even though he had fused it.
Therefore, the whole Fusion process took several hours.
The Totem Wolf Skin dropped all the way from the peak of Extraordinary Rank-6 to almost Extraordinary Rank-5...
Hum!
All of a sudden, black air that represented soul power sprang from the top of Ji Ye’s head!
Then, it transformed into a black shadow that was identical to himself in midair.
This was the Yin Soul Separation, which could be achieved when one’s soul power reached Extraordinary Rank-5. It was called “Yin Soul” because the soul of this level was still afraid of sunlight and could only leave the body at night!
Once he moved a step further and reached the level of Yang Soul, his soul would be able to leave his body during the day.
“Despite the limitations, it’s still of great significance to me that my soul power has reached Rank-5!
“Now that my soul can leave my body, even if my enemy kills my physical body in one attack, I’ll still be able to fix my body with the Healing talent as long as they fail to destroy my soul!”
Ji Ye opened his eyes. Beads of sweat were appearing on his forehead.
This forced transformation wasn’t very comfortable, but it was totally worth it.
“Also, besides the ability of separation, because my soul power was transformed from the Alpha Wolf’s Mark, my soul has also been given the feature of resurrection that’s similar to the Soul Alpha Wolf!
“Theoretically speaking, even if the enemy destroys my soul, I can still be revived with the Alpha Wolf’s Mark. Although the power of resurrection is limited since I’m not really the Steelback Blue Wolf, and I can only be reborn once in a certain amount of time, that’s already good enough...
“With my body and my soul protecting each other, no one can possibly kill me unless they attack my body and soul at the same time!”
Ji Ye’s eyes were full of confidence.
Actually, since he could increase his understanding of art to the highest level with “Fusion”, he could’ve reached Extraordinary Rank-7 or even higher if he had cultivated more in one aspect of power, such as “inner strength” or “mental strength”.
But in that case, he would’ve had inevitable shortcomings, and the enemy could totally take advantage of them by using special types of attacks like the Soul Mask!
Now that his body and his soul could protect each other, he could consider focusing on one aspect to improve his capabilities.
Of course, before that, he had to try out the Yin Soul’s ability of separation first!
“Well, the Yin Soul can fly in the sky and even pass through walls. That’ll be very practical!”
In the night sky, Ji Ye’s Yin Soul left his room and looked down at the Twin Dragon Mount fort from the sky.
He had to admit that most earthlings would kill for a free flying experience like he did!
“Huh? Someone is over there!”
After Ji Ye ascended to the sky, he found that someone else was there too!
“Master, congratulations on gathering your Yin Soul. You have made great progress in your cultivation!”
This man was sitting cross-legged on a cloud when he nodded at Ji Ye’s Yin Soul that was floating in the sky. The Daoist robe he was wearing fluttered in the wind, and he was holding a Mirage Dragon Sword that was surrounded by mists.
“Congratulations to you too, Mr. Gongsun. You’ve advanced into Extraordinary Rank-5!” Ji Ye smiled and said casually.
This other man in the sky was not an enemy spy; he was Gongsun Sheng!
Gongsun Sheng wasn’t here as a Yin Soul; he had come to the sky with his physical body.
After the heroes of the Twin Dragon Mount fort entered Extraordinary Rank-5 one after another, Ji Ye realized that those top heroes, just like the distinguished players, had some sort of talent abilities.
For example, Lu Zhishen had astonishing physical strength. He could hit a target behind an obstacle after entering Extraordinary Rank-5. Yang Zhi had gathered “battle will” that could intimidate the enemy and increase his own combat ability. Wu Song, on the other hand, had shocking explosive power, and nobody could resist his first attack after he accumulated his power in Extraordinary Rank-5...
“Riding the Clouds” was exactly the ability that Gongsun Sheng was granted after entering Extraordinary Rank-5.
Technically speaking, the Dragon in the Clouds had never really been the Dragon in the Clouds until this day!
After talking to Gongsun Sheng and asking him things about the Yin Soul, Ji Ye returned to his room.
Nothing happened for the rest of the night.
