Ch.: 3. First Soul Ring, Earl, Increasing strength and Future Plans

One year later.

Man An was standing on a big boat looking at Sea in front of him, waves after waves were coming.

"Haha, kid do you still want to absorb soul ring above 800 year old, consider it clearly, no one has done it and that Ten Core theory is clearly saying that first soul ring absorption limit is 400 year old." City Lord sitting on his chair said while sipping Tea.

Yes, Indian Tea not Chinese one.

"Well don't worry city Lord, I have considered it clearly and you also checked my physical strength, it is equal to Grand Soul Master." Man An replied helplessly, as city Lord is asking this question after every ten minutes.

"Okay if you say so, butler put the bait in the sea." City Lord ordered his butler, who nodded and took out a Tuna fish, which has rainbow colored linings on it.

"This is favourite food of Sailfish, this soul beast will come running in few minutes, now it is my time." City Lord stood up and jumped to highest point of boat and stood like a hunter.

Man An also stood up and summoned his Yaka Arrow and started whistling, which caused arrow's back to redden and it hovered in air, circling Man An.

City Lord was attracted to Arrow of Man An, but he turned his eyes back to bait.

"It is coming, Sailfish is coming." Butler said as his Hawkeye like eyes stared at water far away.

This butler is a soul sect, possess a hawk martial soul, so eyes are also like Hawkeye can see far away, very clearly.

"Martial soul possess!" City Lord yelled lightly and he was possessed by Seabird, but with many runic lines on it and sharp edges.

"Good Martial Soul, is both sea and air type." Man An thought to himself.

Suddenly city Lord jumped while his third soul ring flashed.

"Catching the fish!" And his hands become big and sharp nails grew out.

City Lord shot into the water like arrow and caught the Sailfish, directly and came out of the water, throwing Sailfish on boat, after cutting all of its fins and spear like nose.

"Okay, Xiao Man do your work." City Lord said.

"Whistle~" Man An whistled lightly and before anyone can blink, arrow hovering and circling Man An disappeared and many holes appeared in Sailfish.

"Good speed, looks like a benign mutation, your martial soul is already in category of top martial souls." City Lord commented and walked to his chair, as butler nodded beside him in agreement.

Man An nodded with a humble smile and sat beside Sailfish as there was a deep yellow soul ring was flying, slowly.

Butler waves his hand and signaled to boat driver to take boat back.

Just when boat was about to dock, Man An also opened his eyes, very much surprised.

[First Soul Ring

Beast: Sea Sailfish

Year:880

Skill: 1. Can make Arrow silent in water, it can be fired and controlled into water, but will not feel any restriction of tight molecules of water and in air, it can fly like it is intangible.

2. Arrow's speed can be increased by 50 percent, after each soul ring being increased, effect will increase with ten percent.

3. Arrow will get a 20 percent armour piercing enchantment after using soul ring.]

If you absorb more older soul ring than normal, you will get more benefits in soul ring skills.

"So what soul skill you got? Oops sorry, my mouth, I forgot for a moment that soul ring skills can't be mentioned to anyone, sorry." City Lord asked and than scolded himself.

Man An knew that he did it intentionally.

"Well my Arrow got a enchantment of armour piercing with ten percent effect after using soul ring." Man An said hiding another information.

"Hmm good soul skill for your arrow." City Lord said.

"Than here is another recipe as promised and I will take my leave, City Lord." Man An said and after handing the scroll and bowing he turned to leave.

City Lord didn't said anything, just looked at back of Man An.

"What a pity, his innate level is low, despite a good martial soul." City Lord muttered to himself.

...

Tiandou City.

Man An hasn't left Yuexuan, as he thought that one day, Tang Yuehua will definitely come to him for whistle language.

He gave Whistle language with Qian Renxue in exchange of a Mountain between Tiandou Royal City and Sunset forest.

And also raised his noble level to Earl and Ten million gold soul coins.

Man An established a orphanage at foot of mountain and migrated many villagers from far away villages, so there is no tension that they will have big ideas.

He established a village surrounding the mountain, about 5 villages, which each has population of 200 to 500 people.

Also hired a private Martial Soul awakened and asked him to teach himself how to awaken Martial Souls and also bought a most expensive set of Soul Stones and a Soul Power Level sensing stone, which can sense upto 60 levels.

He taught villagers about modern agriculture and hired blacksmiths to make iron pedal cycles.

And made a stone road connecting all villages surrounding mountain.

It made transportation easy and they can travel to another villages easily as long as they drive cycle on stone road.

Man An made an Mimetic Environment on top of mountain for himself, as air is very stormy.

His Martial Soul is attribute less, so there was no benefit, but because of stormy air and many different types of obstacles he made, has let his proficiency in arrow controlling easy.

...

After absorbing first soul ring, his soul power broke through level 14.

Man An also tried to make a more powerful Soul meditation method using mental power given by Head Fin martial soul to record meridians and chakras of body.

He found that chakras in this world are disabled, means they were never activated.

Man An has only two conclusions, either people here can't sense or knew about chakra or it can't be activated in this low level world.

Man An was eyeing space bead of Dark Devilgod Tiger.

He wanted to absorb that ring, so he can get some space type soul skill.

He also has anticipation, that Dark Devilgod Tiger can give him a External Soul Bone.

"Dark Devilgod Tiger is a treasure beast, first a space type soul skill giving Soul Skill, Space bead and finally a possible External Tail type Soul bone, I also have to get Soul Bone of Eight Spider Lances, if I can't get Fairy herbs of Dugu Bo, than I have to get all other opportunities of Tang San and other characters." Man An though to himself, while whistling and Arrow flying around, making unexpected turns while going to certain directions.

Man An found that making unexpected turns is very hard, he can make one or two now, but while fighting he definitely can't do it.

"Should I befriend Lou Gao in Gengxin City and let him make me Guns from my previous life, but I have to be cautious prevent blueprints to get in others hands, Lou Gao is an honest man, so it will be impossible for others to get their hands on it, if I can get hands on blueprints of Tang Clan weapons, maybe I can enhance powers of guns." Man An thought to himself.

As he has already made so-so blueprints of minigun, ak-47, shotgun, grenade and finally a pistol.

He knew workings of these weapons from the movies and military videos he has seen in previous life, and Lou Gao is one of three divine craftsman or blacksmith, so he can definitely make these.

As for Gun powder, Man An has already bought many different types of poisons and medicines, which poisons are chemicals in his previous life.

He has created most basic gun powder and now is working to refine it and make it more powerful, as there are many different and strange poisons, so he can try to experiment more and gain a bombastic gun powder of different guns.

As for breaking guns, no need to worry because there are many metals in this world harder than Titanium in his previous life.

After practicing for hours, Man An retracted Yaka Arrow and turned to walk toward his room lab was built just to side.

"I have to join Shrek Academy to get Eight Spider Lances." Man An said to himself.

As he is now nearing nine year old and he is still only level 16.

After taking a bath he turned and entered his lab.

Man An took out melted Whale Rubber which was 1000 years old from furnace.

According to his estimation that whale rubber thousand year old can make soul master absorb more 500 year old soul ring than usual, like normally 900 year old second ring but after absorption of Whale rubber 1400 year old can be absorbed.

As for this piece of Whale Rubber, after noble title was upgraded to Earl, Man An urged his father to buy Whale Rubber from auction.

And this piece alone costed around 28000 gold coins.

If there is no Soul Palace, than these nobles has already hired many soul masters to hunt whale type soul beasts, unscrupulously and wantonly.

Man An was happy that there is Soul Palace awakening martial souls for free and restricting big massacre of Soul Beasts.

Man An planned to open eyes of Liu Erlong and Bibi Dong.

But he didn't knew how to.

What is both of them traced him back through laters he send to them.

Man An has planned to make a Cannon and fire a iron ball containing letters and fire them at Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong and they will open letters and read it.

But he is not even near to make cannons.
