Chapter 48: Prelude to Soul Hunting

In the past four months, the number of life-and-death battles was less than expected.

The reputation of "Slit-Throat Ling" is well-known and his combat power is extremely strong.

Even though Fang Ling later chose to raise the stakes and start a fight, with soul masters willing to fight for money over their lives, only a total of twenty-three battles were fought.

At the beginning, there were eleven two-on-two life-and-death battles, with him fighting against two opponents alone.

The two-player battle was not as difficult as he had imagined, but was simpler than he had imagined.

Fang Ling's Lv3 sickle technique and body movement, with the help of extremely fast nerve reflexes, are almost comparable to the next stage.

His keen combat thinking always enables him to easily find room for maneuver in his opponent's seemingly coordinated but actually occasional mistakes.

As long as you position yourself well, you can almost create a one-on-one situation or a situation where enemies attack each other.

By effectively utilizing this, he won ten games in a row.

Then he was defeated by an 18th-level couple with great tacit understanding.

This battle allowed Fang Ling to truly experience what combined combat was.

The mistake made by one person is made up by another, seamlessly, leaving no chance.

Even Fang Ling, whose sickle technique was far superior to his own, was beaten without any chance to fight back and had to jump off the stage.

In a one-on-two life-and-death battle, kill nineteen people in total, one escapes, and gain nineteen points.

The original points were 185, and the bronze fighting spirit badge was increased by 540, for a total of 725 points.

Then no one was willing to fight this kind of life-or-death battle with him again.

After consulting the staff, dean and teachers of the Great Fighting Spirit Arena, Fang Ling refused to fight against opponents of higher levels and chose to gamble.

Logically speaking, one should bet on one's entire fortune in a fight, but the Great Fighting Spirit Arena doesn't care about that.

They never check how much money you have, they only care about what you hand over and what you have on you.

So Fang Ling never brought the Frost Ring with him every time. He only asked his master to wear the ring and help pay one thousand gold soul coins as an attractive bargaining chip.

This type of gambling fight is purely to attract people, so the profit is not much.

It started with five single-player fights.

First he won four games in a row, then he lost one game and lost a thousand gold soul coins.

The levels of people attracted by money vary greatly. Most of them are strong but still cannot beat Fang Ling, who does not have too many shortcomings in all aspects.

The final defeat was against a tough opponent.

It was also a sword martial soul, but unlike the city lord's sturdy black gold sword, Fang Ling encountered a mid-to-high-level sword martial soul that was mainly sharp.

The martial spirit was already sharp, and after using the spirit ring, its sharpness was greatly increased. With one sword strike, Fang Ling's Lv2 sickle was directly cut into one third.

If he had a little more strength, there is no doubt that he could have cut the sickle in half with one blow.

This is the kind of fight that the teacher told Fang Ling that it is absolutely impossible to win.

The hardware is not good enough and the martial spirit is too weak, what can be done?

The will of the fighter plays a crucial role.

Ignoring the pain, he ran very fast and jumped under the ring.

It was painful to lose a thousand gold soul coins, but it was not as important as one's life.

A single-player fight only earns four points, and this is also a one-on-one life-and-death battle, so it is counted as eighteen consecutive wins. He lost in the nineteenth game, earning three hundred and ninety points.

At this point, the total score was 1,0115 points, and the bronze fighting spirit badge was successfully upgraded to a silver fighting spirit.

At this time, Fang Ling upgraded the sickle to Lv3.

In a life-and-death battle, bronze fighting spirits are still available, but silver fighting spirits are so rare that they cannot be any rarer.

Fortunately, the fighting spirit badge is not considered in the gambling fights where money is added.

The series of battles made Fang Ling stronger and stronger. He then participated in seven double gambling matches and won all seven. However, he ran away and only gained thirteen points.

The couple who had defeated him in the previous one-on-two life-and-death battle also came, but this time they lost.

Fang Ling's martial soul evolved to Lv3, with moderate improvements in sharpness and tenacity, and his fighting will evolved to Lv2, with soul power flowing faster, making him just a little bit faster.

He found his chance and won.

Silver Douluo gets 100 points for each win, and 1,000 points for each win if he wins more than five games in a row. In the end, he gets a total of 30,515 points.

Twenty-three fighting spirits, thirty-six kills, and a total of thirty-six points.

The natural growth of the progress bar accelerated after Fang Ling became a soul master, gaining one point every half a year, and a total of 37 points.

Among them, eight points were used on soul power, which was raised to level nineteen.

He tried to click on the spirit ring, and after adding more than a hundred years, the spirit ring was upgraded to two hundred and thirty-one years.

Neither the Reflexes nor the Digestion expertise has been upgraded, so it should be until the Millennium level that there will be a change.

The remaining twenty-eight points are left for the transformation of the martial soul's form.

When the time comes, it will be just right to get two soul rings from hundred-year-old soul beasts.

He asked, and this time the soul hunting was in the Star Forest.

With the teachers as a guarantee, you can take the opportunity to kill a few more soul beasts and gain some points for the evolution of your martial soul.

Fang Ling's martial soul was too short, and he was at a disadvantage in battle.

The shape must be changed so that this agricultural sickle can become a long-handled war sickle.

Although he lost the flexibility of short-range combat, the longer martial spirit gave Fang Ling more space to turn and dodge.

There would be no need for every battle to be a thrilling close combat like it is now.

Although the tactics also need to be adjusted accordingly, given his talent, there is naturally no need to worry too much.

Seven days after the last one-on-two gambling match, Fang Ling successfully broke through to level 20.

Be included in the list of the academy's soul hunting team.

Four days later, the soul hunting began.

The dean, Liufeng Sword Soul Emperor Lin Yuehua, personally led a team of thirteen people, accompanied by five Soul Sect teachers.

The battle director, the long-haired wild boar soul king Liu Yueban, led another team of ten people, accompanied by four soul sect teachers.

War King College doesn't have as many twists and turns as Notting College.

The dean gathered all the graduates who were able to graduate successfully in the college square. There were not many people, only twenty-three people.

That's right, only twenty-three people.

War King College is a relatively good intermediate college, with about two hundred students in each grade.

The requirement of participating in ten great fighting spirit arena game battles is not a difficult task. At most, you just have to fight in ten games.

But in the end, only twenty-three people were able to graduate successfully.

The reason is simple, the talent is not enough and the practice is too slow.

Generally speaking, the Intermediate Soul Master Academy has the same six grades as the Primary Soul Master Academy.

It requires first-ring young soul masters to graduate from the Junior Soul Master Academy and reach level 20 within six years to graduate successfully.

At the age of six, the spirit awakens and one enters the junior college. At the age of twelve, one graduates and enters the intermediate college in the same year. One must become a second-ring spirit master at the age of eighteen at the latest to graduate successfully.

The vast majority of people who are unable to graduate early cannot become second-ring soul masters.

Most of these graduates now are fifteen or sixteen years old. They all graduated early and entered the college. There are few who are eighteen years old.

There are both men and women, some are tall, handsome, majestic and sunny, and some are beautiful and heroic.

But no matter what, Fang Ling, who was the shortest, had an indifferent expression, stood alone in the center, and no one dared to approach him, and was the most conspicuous.

He was a freshman who had just entered school for a year and was only ten years old!

With his innate first-level talent, he was able to break through to level 20 within a year.

Everyone was surprised and envious at first, but after understanding the situation, they admired it from the bottom of their hearts.

This cannot be imitated.

Although Fang Ling is lame, he has excellent fighting talent and is a truly ruthless person.

He was cruel to others, and the number of people he killed in life-and-death battles was more than what they had seen in gaming battles.

Be ruthless to yourself, be able to endure pain that is enough to cause near-death, think calmly and quickly, and then decisively fight back.

No matter how many people he killed, his expression remained unchanged, and it did not affect the smile that appeared on his face from time to time.

The mind is simply perverted.

The name "Slit-Throat Ling" resounded throughout the Great Fighting Spirit Arena.

Can they imitate?

Only death!
