Chapter 009: The Shocking First Soul Skill

This, well... Li Si instantly became the focus of the entire audience. They kicked the ball to themselves, saying, "If anyone is to offend, let it be me. You, with your big beard, are truly cunning." After a moment of contemplation, Li Si smiled and said, "In fact, whether I am in the Bosen Guild or the Earth Legion, I am fighting for the Empire. The disaster of the Sky Rail requires us to fight side by side. Only through sincere unity can we hope to eliminate the aberrant beasts. As for the factional disputes, I believe they should be set aside for the time being. Therefore, it does not matter whether I belong to the Soul Fighter Guild or the Earth Legion. Everyone, please do not let this cause discord among us. It would be a loss to gain little. Let us first repel the aberrant beasts and discuss this later."

Fang Dejuqiang said: "I am stating the facts! Why should I apologize? Li Si indeed comes from the Earth Legion, but the procedures have been completed. He awakened only after becoming Miss Sophie’s guardian, and that is the truth!"

Master Hanna, where is my destined soul?

Li Si secretly admired her, noting that this girl smiled without showing her teeth, which was quite charming

Big Beard Feilan chuckled, "Master Hanna, Li Si is a soldier of the Second Squad of the Third Battalion of our Earth Legion. Since his soul has awakened, he naturally still belongs to our military."

Regardless of how many strange events occurred around him, Hanna, Sophie, and the remaining dozen or so soul fighters of the Berson Guild have already regarded Lis as one of their own. They consciously stood together, clearly distinguishing themselves from the soul fighters belonging to the Earth Legion

Standing in the midst of the fire dragon tree, Li Si felt an overwhelming sense of unreality. The ground beneath his feet seemed to transform into a translucent crystal, with a blue light resembling that of the sea forming a strange pattern. When he looked up, the fire dragon tree, towering at two meters, had its leaves unfurling, creating an illusion of being in a small grove. This was certainly not what he had imagined; it was just a tree, one that could neither fly nor walk, so how could it engage in battle? Even Sophie’s chrysanthemum spirit could ascend! What purpose do these trees serve? This was certainly not what he had imagined; it was just a tree, one that could neither fly nor walk, so how could it engage in battle? Even Sophie’s chrysanthemum spirit could ascend! What purpose do these trees serve?

This is because Li Si's internal strength cultivation is still shallow, and the capacity of his Qi Sea is very limited. Soon, the internal energy is devoured by the new energy and the * diagram * book, causing the true Qi in the Dantian Qi Sea to be compressed smaller and smaller. The new energy occupies the space, squeezing the true Qi into a small mass. Li Si finds himself unable to resolve this issue. Ultimately, the true Qi seems to be enveloped by a silkworm cocoon, replaced by that new energy. No matter how he attempts to circulate the small and large Zhou Tian, it is always the new energy that circulates, rather than the original true Qi.

Hanna shouted loudly: "Fang De, how can you be rude to Mr. Fei Lan! Why don't you apologize?"

The entire spine, centered around the main trunk, is so finely detailed that every part of the body resembles a masterpiece crafted by a sculptor. The robust "skeleton" is clearly composed of multiple branches, forming a completely wooden giant skeleton! It stands like a powerful and fierce war god, holding a sharp wooden spear that is seven to eight meters long, looking down proudly upon all living beings

The fiery red leaves, over a meter long, danced excitedly as if they possessed a spirit, seemingly reveling in the moment. Meanwhile, Han Na, Sophie, and the other Soul Fighters looked on in astonishment and envy, for they understood how joyous it was for a soul spirit to level up! Although the first level is merely the beginning, no one had ever managed to ascend so many ranks in such a short time. Even more astonishing was the fact that the energy reservoir had not diminished! Little did they know, this was an additional reward bestowed upon Li Si by the energy within the testing crystal. Although the first level is merely the beginning, no one had ever managed to ascend so many ranks in such a short time. Even more astonishing was the fact that the energy reservoir had not diminished! Little did they know, this was an additional reward bestowed upon Li Si by the energy within the testing crystal.

Hanna laughed and said: "Mr. Feilan's spirit of patriotism and love for the people is worthy of our admiration, however, it seems that there are some aspects that are not quite accurate."

The bearded man opened his arms enthusiastically, and it seemed he was about to embrace Li Si in celebration. Although Li Si was not accustomed to such gestures, the man's sincerity made it difficult to refuse. He stepped forward, and the two big men shared a brief hug, but little did Li Si know that the odor emanating from the bearded man's body was overwhelming, causing him to quickly hold his breath

Li Si cautiously regained consciousness, and when he opened his eyes, the energy reservoir of his soul spirit had finally been depleted. The original soul spirit, the Fire Dragon Tree, had vanished. Before him were faces filled with excitement and a variety of complex expressions. His gaze settled on Han Na and Su He, as well as Tu Shu Fei.

This bearded man struck a passionate pose, speaking of some empire, which appeared quite pretentious in Li Si's eyes. He simply did not belong to this world and had no real interest in joining any grand army. He casually brushed off the conversation, only to notice that Han Na and Sophie, among others, looked as if they had eaten something bitter, which left him momentarily taken aback

Thousands of fiery red leaves shrank in an instant. At the same time, the trunk underwent a transformation; all the branches snapped and disintegrated with a series of "crackling" sounds, yet miraculously floated in mid-air. The crimson leaves transformed into a liquid resembling blood, visibly merging into the trunk at an astonishing speed. In a moment, these branches, seemingly soaked in blood, magically pieced together and converged. In just about thirty seconds, thousands of branches of varying thickness astonishingly combined to form a "giant" standing five meters tall

Li Si murmured to himself: "God, is this Transformers?"

Fei Lanhaha smiled and said, "However, Master Hanna, under special circumstances, the military also has the right to request assistance from the local Soul Master Guild. In the spirit of friendship, we are temporarily assigning Li Si to you; he still belongs to our Earth Legion. Please note, it is only a temporary assignment"

Hanna first said: "Mr. Li Si is right; I have lived for quite a long time, yet I still do not understand this simple principle. I feel ashamed and embarrassed. Mr. Fei Lan, I apologize to you."

Han laughed heartily, grasping his arm and saying: "Li Si, don't be anxious, don't be anxious, come with me, let's find another place to talk"

Hanna's face still bore the gentle warmth of spring, yet the atmosphere at the scene had changed significantly

As soon as the thought arose, I heard Sophie’s voice say: "Use your first-level soul skill!"

Sophie gave him a reserved smile and said, "Welcome to our group"

Mr. Fei Lan seems to have forgotten that since Mr. Li Si has undergone testing in our guild, he is already a member of our Bosen Soul Fighter Guild, and how could he possibly be associated with your legion

Fei, the website www.hetushu.com itself is a Soul Fighter, naturally well aware of the power of the Soul Fighter Guild. How could he dare to truly offend Han Na? He took a step back and said: "Master Han Na, I also have my faults; I was too impulsive. In fact, Mr. Li Si joining the guild is also for the service of the Empire, hahaha"

He had no idea that, due to the conflict between his internal energy and the energy within the testing crystal, all the new energy was ultimately absorbed by him. In an intangible way, this was akin to the transmission of power from Wuyazi of the Xiaoyao Sect to Xu Zhu. It is uncertain whether Heaven was compensating Li Si, but his original internal energy had inexplicably increased by an unknown number of times. Particularly, his extraordinary meridians had been expanded by this nearly swelling new energy, doubling their width. This meant that in the future, when Li Si absorbed spiritual energy, his speed would correspondingly increase by a factor of two, and his dantian's capacity would also expand by more than double. All of this was clearly felt by Li Si, and he firmly believed that if he were to fight Mu Pan again now, that fellow would hardly be his match

Oh? Master Hanna, did I say something wrong

Hanna said: "Hahaha, that was indeed the case before, but our guild has already completed the formalities with your legion, and he is now a member of our Bosen Guild."

Hanna became increasingly certain and said, "Yes, yes, but the problem is that Mr. Li Si only awakened after joining our Bosen Guild. What do you think, Mr. Feilan?"

Seeing his expression as if he had struck gold, the people around him cast looks filled with envy and jealousy. Li Si's heart raced; could it be that his destined soul spirit was exceptionally powerful? Judging by the trend, it seemed so. Could it be that his soul spirit was unique, summoning an Ultraman?

Li Si is indifferent; he speaks grandly, but in reality, he feels no sense of belonging to any Soul Master Guild or Earth Legion. Everything revolves around himself. Now that he has finally freed himself from servitude and has become a sought-after figure, his excitement is beyond words. He smiles as he approaches Sophie and says, "I never expected that I would become a Soul Master right after just becoming a Guardian. Miss Sophie, I look forward to your guidance in the library."

At the moment he was using his energy to resist the new force and his ultimate inner strength was being replaced, the Fire Dragon Tree surrounding him was also undergoing changes that left all the soul fighters present in awe. On the blue level bar above the trunk, the glowing squares were increasing one by one, indicating that his soul was continuously leveling up. Like the energy bar, it also had nine squares, and within just a few minutes, it had already reached seven squares, with only two squares left to be filled. When all nine squares were filled, his innate soul would upgrade to the second level

What is the first level soul skill? Just as I was puzzled, with a single thought, I felt a "pop" in my mind, and immediately established a mental connection with the Fire Dragon Tree. At the moment Lis issued the command, the scene before him suddenly underwent an incredible transformation

Finally, after a prolonged stalemate, Li Si began his counterattack. Under the guidance of his true energy, the force emanating from the testing crystal started to surge towards his dantian. This was unexpected for Li Si; he was both surprised and delighted. He was surprised by the unknown origin of this energy and uncertain whether it would cause any rejection, yet he was delighted as it reminded him of the "Star Absorption Technique"

Hanna truly smiled this time, shaking hands amicably with Fei Lan, creating a harmonious atmosphere, while Li Si was left on the sidelines.

Li Si was stunned! Everyone was astonished, including Fei Lan and his military personnel, who were originally prepared to leave, now stood there in shock, gazing at this astonishing scene

Liszt, with your addition, the Earth Legion will become even stronger. Let us fight together for the Empire, for the countless citizens of the Empire and the various magical beasts.

The energy in the Dantian's Qi Sea was filled with an influx of new energy, and it was increasing. Li Si could not refuse it. Gradually, his Qi Sea reached a point of expansion, as if that energy had found a place to settle, excitedly rushing towards his Dantian. Originally, this would be considered a stroke of good fortune for someone cultivating internal energy. However, the initial concern of rejection that Li Si had feared eventually manifested.

The soul fighters behind Han Na echoed in unison, displaying a united front against the enemy. Fei Lan hesitated, secretly regretting the situation; it was too coincidental that the awakening occurred just after the adjustment, and all the procedures had been completed, leaving no room for denial. Fei Lan knew that reason was not on his side and was about to reluctantly give up, but suddenly felt a stir in his heart and looked towards Li Si, who seemed indifferent nearby, and said: "Mr. Li Si, what do you think?"

Just as he was about to leave, a soul warrior with a full, reddish-brown beard blocked his path. After laughing a few times like a broken gong, he said to Li Si: "I am Fei Lan, the chief soul warrior of the Earth Legion. Congratulations on becoming a soul warrior!"

During the argument, a young soul fighter rushed out from behind Hanna, exclaiming with indignation: "The efforts of our Bosen Guild in protecting the retreat of the Bosen people are evident to all. There were forty-seven soul fighters in our guild, and now only fifteen remain. We have not retreated a single step. One by one, our former comrades have left us. What have we said? It is not easy for someone to join us, so on what grounds do you interfere!"

Beside him, Fang De and others gathered around, chattering incessantly about Li Si's soul spirit. It was then that Li Si learned that his true soul spirit was actually a tree! Although it had a rather impressive name, Fire Dragon Tree, it was still a far cry from the ice frost giant dragon or Ultraman-like big bosses he had imagined, leaving him somewhat disappointed. Encouraged by the other soul fighters, Li Si once again released his soul spirit, and this time, he saw it clearly.

Fei Landao: "Indeed, the Soul Fighter Guild has the right to summon soldiers to serve as guardians for the Soul Fighters, but the situation is different now, isn't it? You can summon ordinary warriors, but you cannot summon our Soul Fighters"

Sweat, is this considered a quarrel? Even a quarrel is so polite; why not just fight? Whoever wins, I will follow. Li Si gradually understood, and while he found it amusing, he was also curious about his own destined soul. What exactly was his soul that attracted the Soul Masters Guild and the Earth Legion? Damn, how come I never realized I was so sought after before
