Chapter 9: Blue Silver Entanglement and… White Hair
"As expected of the Spirit Hall that has stood on Douluo Continent for a thousand years, even if this is just a branch hall in a small border town, the collection of books is so terrifying!"
Su Lin was in the library of the Spirit Branch Hall at this time, and the bookshelves around him were neatly arranged.
Although this place is open to all Soul Masters, it is almost dusk, and there is no one here except Su Lin.
With just a casual glance, Su Lin could see many books related to Soul Masters and soul beasts.
Diversity of Spirits: Strong Attack
On Soul Ring Selection
Basic Soul Beast Illustrated Guide
The Mutation and Evolution of Spirits, Basics
"The Ten Core Competitive Strengths of Spirit" - Author: Yu Xiaogang
Hmm... it seems like something strange has gotten in.
Su Lin took out "The Ten Core Competencies of Spirit" and flipped through it briefly... but put it back after just a moment.
It's really the same as the rumors!
If the theory is full of errors and omissions, then there is no need to continue reading it. It is a waste of time.
There are many different types of spirits in the world, and Su Lin finds it difficult to accept the simple classification of Blue Silver Grass as a weapon spirit.
"Eh, this one…"
Su Lin suddenly made a new discovery, at the top of a bookshelf.
The Difficulties and Basic Principles of Creating Your Own Soul Skills
This is exactly what Su Lin needs right now!
The bookshelf is a bit high, and it is a bit difficult for Su Lin, who is of his age and height, to take it down.
But this is not a difficult task. With a slight raise of his hand, Su Lin tried to inject soul power into the Blue Silver Grass to stimulate its growth.
Soon, the Blue Silver Grass continued to grow, and its light blue leaves extended out in the hazy light.
Soon, it climbed to the top of the bookshelf and helped Su Lin take down the book he needed.
This does not require any soul skills, just the basic use of the spirit.
"Except for the special case of twin spirits, a Soul Master can only possess a maximum of nine soul rings and soul skills in his lifetime. However, in the battles between high-level Soul Masters, only nine soul skills are far from enough. Creating one's own soul skills is the only way out..."
Su Lin was eager to learn, but he had already completely immersed himself in it from the very beginning.
"Self-created soul skills are also divided into general soul skills and soul-specific soul skills."
"Universal soul skills require a thorough understanding of the body's structure, as well as the control and application of soul power. They are extremely difficult..."
"Soul-specific skills are relatively easy to master, requiring a thorough understanding of one's own soul and even resonance with it..."
The more Su Lin read, the more absorbed he became. Even though the book didn't have much content and was relatively simple to understand, it still took him about an hour to finish it.
"I don't have the conditions to create universal soul skills right now, so I can only think of ways to use soul skills that are specific to my spirit!"
After just a brief moment of contemplation, Su Lin continued to take out several books from the bookshelf, including "Principles of Basic Soul Skills," "Diversity of Spirits: Plant Series," etc., and plunged into the ocean of knowledge.
Su Lin did not regret not going to Notting Academy to study, but he did need to make up for the relevant knowledge and theories.
In fact, Notting Academy may not teach these.
The night is getting darker.
But the lights in the Spirit Hall's library were still on.
During this period, Matthew came once, but seeing that Su Lin was completely immersed in it, he did not disturb him and quietly left.
Su Lin frowned, and summoned the Blue Silver Grass Spirit from time to time to try.
"Blue and Silver Entanglement!"
This soul skill itself is not difficult, it is just using soul power to extend the Blue Silver Grass to restrict the enemy.
As long as the Blue Silver Grass itself is strong enough, any normal Blue Silver Grass Soul Master can do it.
For Su Lin, the origin of the Blue Silver Grass has been replenished, and its toughness has been enhanced.
As long as the distance it extends is not too long and causes the soul power to be too dispersed, it is enough to trap ordinary enemies.
"The only difficulty lies in my control over my soul power and the Blue Silver Grass..."
"How much soul power should I input to maximize the Blue Silver Grass's resilience? How much will the resilience decrease if it extends farther? These are all things I need to understand in detail."
"And this requires a lot of practice."
It was not until the faint light of morning shone through the window lattice, casting a shadow on Su Lin's young but focused face, that he felt a little tired.
After two consecutive nights without rest and having lost a lot of vitality, even he was a little exhausted.
"As long as I practice for a few more days, Blue and Silver Entanglement will no longer be a problem for me. Compared to Tang San, it only lacks the paralyzing effect of the poison attribute."
"But the life attribute and poison attribute of Blue Silver Grass are not compatible. The poison of the Jade Phosphor Serpent is so strong, but the poison of Tang San's Blue Silver Grass attached to this spirit ring only has a slight paralyzing effect."
"In contrast, enhancing the life attribute allows the Blue Silver Grass to gain greater resilience and vitality, and its restrictive ability will also be stronger."
"I can develop this kind of basic skill with just a little intensive study. Why would I waste a spirit ring?"
Su Lin couldn't help but take another look at the book "The Ten Core Competencies of Spirit" that was gathering dust on the bookshelf. That book was really misleading young people.
Standing up, Su Lin used the control of his spirit, the Blue Silver Grass, to put the books back one by one.
He was thinking of finding a place to rest for a while.
Suddenly—
Suddenly, there was a burst of hurried and heavy footsteps and the sound of metal rubbing outside the door.
Immediately afterwards, a burst of suppressed groans of pain and anxious cries came one after another.
Something happened!
Su Lin's heart tightened.
He rushed out of the library, and as soon as he arrived in the hall, he saw Matthew in pajamas, almost exhausted, leaning against the front desk.
On the floor of the hall was a makeshift stretcher, and lying on it was Su Haishan, who had been talking to him yesterday.
The clothes on his chest were torn, revealing a huge wound deep enough to see the bone, with flesh rolled up and the edges a strange blue-black color.
The thick bandage was almost completely soaked in dark red and was constantly oozing out thick blood with a strange black color!
His face was as pale as paper, his breathing was weak and almost nonexistent, and every gasp caused blood bubbles to ooze out of the wound.
Su Lin especially noticed that there was a conspicuous and strange black spot on his arm, which was a strange color with red in black.
"Quickly gather all the healing Soul Masters and treat him!"
Matthew's old voice was hoarse but like thunder, carrying with it an unquestionable determination and a hint of hope.
"Old man, I... I killed him!"
"Reward... a reward for my son."
As if awakened by Matthew's voice, Su Haishan opened his eyes slightly, a miserable smile broke out on his face, and he spoke weakly.
Matthew was actually in tears for a moment.
Notting City is so small, and he has worked with Su Haishan for decades. Could it be that he has to say goodbye to an old friend today?
"Hurry, where's the healing Soul Master!"
"And Su Yuntao, quickly call Su Yuntao over!"
Matthew did not talk to Su Haishan, he just issued orders in a hoarse voice.
Su Lin looked at the scene in front of him and fell silent.
He was not sure whether his current ability could heal Su Haishan's injuries.
Unlike Widow Li, his injuries were much more serious, and the fatal black spots on his arms were more difficult to resolve.
Dealing with the black spots on Widow Li's body had already consumed 10% of Su Lin's vitality, and he had no time to replenish it afterwards.
To heal a Great Soul Master like Su Haishan, who was so seriously injured, Su Lin might not succeed even if he put his all into it.
During Tang San's time, there was no mention of a deacon named Su Haishan in the Spirit Hall of Notting City. Perhaps he lost his life at this time.
Even if he hadn't reported it, as long as the influence of the Fallen Soul Master expanded, the Spirit Hall would have taken the initiative to get involved.
But…
"Let me do it!"
Su Lin still couldn't convince himself not to save people.
Of course, he is not so great as to sacrifice himself for others.
10%!
Su Lin has already set a limit for himself in his mind.
When his own vitality is less than 10%, he will stop regardless of whether he is healed or not.
"Little Su Lin..."
Matthew suddenly grabbed Su Lin's shoulders as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, his face full of surprise.
"By the way, little Su Lin, you are also a healing auxiliary Soul Master, and you have healed the victims injured by this Fallen Soul Master!"
"Hurry, if you can cure him, I will personally apply for a reward from the headquarters!"
Su Lin shook his head and said nothing, but his body was covered with a faint white light.
He gently raised his right hand, and in the palm of his hand, a Blue Silver Grass emitting a faint glow swarmed out and continued to grow.
A circle of yellow soul ring rose from under his feet, floating around his body.
"First Soul Skill, Life Sharing!"
Su Lin shouted softly and continuously injected his soul power into the Blue Silver Grass.
The dark blue grass, after replenishing its essence, has become about five fingers wide and has thick leaves.
At this time, accompanied by the urging of soul power, strands of Blue Silver Grass extended rapidly and quickly wrapped Su Haishan on the stretcher tightly.
This was something Su Lin was able to do after a night of hard work, as he became more proficient in the development and application of Blue Silver Grass.
With the Blue Silver Grass as the medium, Su Lin's vitality is flowing out continuously.
On the stretcher, Su Haishan had closed his eyes again, but his complexion was improving significantly.
It is no longer so gray but has some vitality and blood color.
The wound on the abdomen looked huge, but it was not difficult to heal.
The Blue Silver Grass leaves covering Su Haishan emitted a warm and majestic light, carrying the most primitive breath of life, and poured into Su Haishan like a raging wave!
With the injection of a large amount of vitality, the wound soon stopped bleeding, and the blue-black marks on the edges also ignited white smoke under the impact of vitality and then quickly dissipated.
It is visible to the naked eye that the wound is healing!
"My vitality has already been depleted by over 60%..."
Su Lin could already clearly feel his own weakness, and his usually clear brain was a little drowsy.
He couldn't help but raise his hand to support Matthew beside him.
"Finally, and the most difficult to deal with, that black spot..."
Su Lin did not stop his soul skills. He lowered his head with a gleam in his eyes.
He has already determined that with his current abilities and at a sufficient price, he can completely cure Su Haishan!
Now that the decision has been made, just do it in one go!
Saving Su Haishan was out of gratitude, but also out of calculation...
The greater the price he pays now, the greater the rewards will be.
Boom!
Su Lin completely relaxed, and his vitality continued to flow out.
He is now only about eight years old, less than nine years old, with smooth black hair.
But at this time, with the output of more vitality.
At a speed visible to the naked eye, the strands of hair that were originally black and shiny began to fade and turn white rapidly from the roots!
In just a few breaths, his black hair turned into silver-white like frost and snow!
