Douluo: I'm Really Ordinary

"Okay, stop talking and absorb the soul ring quickly."

Jiang Cheng patted him and couldn't help but sigh that this guy was really lucky.

If he hadn't been unable to absorb it at level 17, he would have killed the Shadow Wolf alone and swallowed it all for himself.

"Okay, be careful."

Meng Shuo sat cross-legged, the martial spirit of the painting brush appeared in his hand, guiding the spirit rings to begin to merge.

A circle of yellow and purple soul rings appeared. Meng Shuo closed his eyes tightly, and his soul power gradually increased.

Hu Xian walked over, took out a bottle of medicinal powder, poured it on the Shadow Wolf corpse, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"This powder can mask the smell and breath of the soul beast's blood, so as not to attract other dangers."

Hu Xian sprinkled the powder very professionally, then went to the bush and sprinkled the bear corpse that had been eaten by the shadow wolf.

Jiang Cheng searched the area and made sure there was nothing unusual before returning to the place and looking at Meng Shuo who had absorbed the soul ring, he fell into deep thought.

He was sure that the ink figure version of Fufeng Sword Technique released by Meng Shuo just now was stronger than his.

Otherwise, the Shadow Wolf's legs would not be chopped off with one blow.

"Is it because the soul power is stronger than mine?"

Jiang Cheng shook his head, puzzled.

Ring removal is extremely rare, but the absorption process is very easy. It only took less than 10 minutes for Meng Shuo to open his eyes with excitement on his face.

"Breakthrough, still level 22!"

"How about soul skills?"

Hu Xian looked curious, suddenly realized that this was an impolite behavior, and smacked his lips.

"No, I'm just curious."

Meng Shuo stood up and shook his head.

"We have all experienced life and death together this time, so why not tell you, just watch!"

After saying that, Meng Shuo smiled confidently, holding the paintbrush in his hand, with two yellow soul rings flashing around him.

At the same time, the brush in his hand seemed to be full of spirituality, painting out of thin air.

In just one breath, a gray-purple wolf appeared, leaping out and turning into reality.

"The second soul skill, Shadow Wolf Guard."

"Roar!"

The shadow wolf appeared, its body shimmering with soul power, and it stared at Jiang Cheng and Hu Xian warily, as if it regarded Meng Shuo as his master.

"Dang Dang Dang, my new soul skill, Shadow Wolf Guard."

Meng Shuo stroked a strand of purple hair on the Shadow Wolf's head, with happiness written all over his face.

"After summoning, I will get such a shadow wolf guard. It has the level of a normal thousand-year soul beast. It is mainly very fast and can protect me."

"As long as my soul power is not exhausted, it will always exist. Its primary goal is to protect me."

"And the most important thing is that it only takes me one second to summon it, woo woo woo, I no longer have to draw for two minutes and fight for five seconds."

After Meng Shuo finished speaking, he symbolically wiped away the non-existent tears.

Jiang Cheng also didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Hu Xian just told him the whole process.

Meng Shuo's move took nearly 2 minutes just to draw the image.

If this were in the spirit fighting arena, the opponent would have slapped him to death, or ripped off the painting in front of him and stamped it under his feet.

Hu Xian also wanted to laugh a little and said.

"Well now, with the Shadow Wolf Guard, you at least have a means of self-protection, and you can paint and fight at the same time."

"That's what I thought."

Meng Shuo nodded excitedly.

Jiang Cheng thought for a while and asked.

"Meng Shuo, although it's a bit rude, I still want to know, what is your first soul skill?"

"Uh, this..."

Meng Shuo scratched his head, "I won't hide it from you, this is related to the inheritance of my family's martial spirit."

"Our Meng family has been here for 500 years. We are considered a big family in Jasper City. We all have this kind of painting brush spirit."

"Our family has this kind of imaging ability, and it is a fixed number one soul skill."

"How to put it, it is to use the soul power to hold the brush and draw a certain image."

"The ability to image soul skills is the bridge between the portrait and reality, allowing it to come to the present in a short-lived way."

"Just like the move you used just now, brother Jiangcheng, I drew it, and then used the soul skill, and it automatically appeared and attacked."

"The soul skills released by imaging are based on my soul power."

"The move you just made was released with my level 20 soul power, so it's a little more powerful."

Hu Xian's eyes widened and he exclaimed.

"Then there is a lot of room for improvement in your soul skills. Can you still draw the kind of soul skills of a Titled Douluo?"

Meng Shuo scratched his head.

"Theoretically, that's what it says, but as you can see, this technique is a waste of time. If you accidentally draw it crookedly, you will fall short."

Meng Shuo spread his hands helplessly.

"Outsiders say that our Meng family is an aggressive, auxiliary family, and that's right."

Jiang Cheng pursed his lips and his eyes lit up.

"Listen to what you said, your family's inherited martial spirit has a lot of room for use, and its effects are unique."

"Once a soul saint or a soul master is cultivated, he has extraordinary potential."

"Logically speaking, haven't you attracted the attention of the Star Luo Empire's imperial city?"

"Yes, the empire also ships a large amount of cultivation resources to our sect every year."

"It's just that some people were transferred to the battlefield or the palace, and never returned."

Meng Shuo shook his head.

"One time when I was hiding in the study, I heard my father sighing and saying that our Meng family was just pawns of the empire."

Jiang Cheng nodded.

"Actually, you are chess pieces, and you are also using each other. After all, the family has indeed developed over the years, right?"

"and many more."

Hu Xian suddenly spoke up and pulled them back.

"We'll talk on the way, and then we'll talk after we leave here."

"Yes, I'm fascinated by the conversation."

Jiang Cheng smiled bitterly. He was so curious about Meng Shuo's soul skills that he actually forgot about this.

On the way, Meng Shuo lowered his head and said.

"Actually, I ran away from home this time. I practiced calligraphy in the study every day, and had to repeatedly practice my pen-holding posture. My father punished me every day..."

Meng Shuo sighed, "I was really annoyed, so I stole the key and ran out while it was dark."

"I just thought that if my father knew that I was missing, he would be very anxious, blame himself, and regret it. This would make me happy..."

After Meng Shuo finished speaking, his eyes suddenly turned red.

"Am I too ignorant? Just now, brother Jiangcheng, when you were beating the Shadow Wolf, I was even afraid that I wouldn't be able to see my father tomorrow."

Jiang Cheng sighed and patted his shoulder.

"It's not important to say this now. Go back. There is no overnight feud between father and son."

"Even if you really have something to say, talking about it in person is enough to open up your heart."

"Well, so when we get out of the forest, I'm going to go home. Thank you."

Meng Shuo nodded.

"If you come to Jade City in the future, remember to find me in the Meng Mansion and tell the guard my name. I will entertain you well."

"I've been away from home for half a month this time. Maybe when I get back, my father will post my missing person notices all over the city. Oh, that's right!"

Meng Shuo quickly took out a hundred gold soul coins from the soul guide and handed them to Hu Xian and Jiang Cheng respectively.

"This is the transaction fee. I originally said it was 50 gold soul coins, but I will give you twice as much. After all, the soul ring is good, and so are you."

Meng Shuo said something a little awkward, then looked at Jiang Cheng and smiled.

"Brother Jiangcheng, I looked down on you a little before and doubted your strength. It was my fault, but now I want to say that your swordsmanship is very cool."

"Thank you, but when you go to Jade City later, you should prepare a table of food to thank me."

"I can't ask for it."

After leaving the Soul Beast Forest, Jiang Cheng and Hu Xian helped him get into a carriage.

Hu Xian warned him worriedly.

"Hurry up and hide your soul guide. Don't expose your soul guide. There are so many gold soul coins. You are just like a cabbage. You can't trust others easily, right?"

Hu Xian looked helpless and caring like a big sister.

"I really don't know how you managed to avoid being robbed on the road after running away from home for half a month. It's outrageous..."

Meng Shuo smiled bitterly and waved his hand.

"I'll be careful, see you all."

Jiang Cheng nodded, "See you later."

After saying goodbye, the carriage drove away without a trace.

On the other side, a middle-aged man dressed as a farmer looked at the direction the carriage was leaving, wrote a letter, and tied it to the pigeon's leg.

Half a day later, Jasper City, Meng Mansion.

Meng Lin took off the letter from the pigeon's leg, unfolded it, read it, and blew his beard.

"This kid actually knows how to come back. It's not in vain that I send someone to secretly escort him all the way."

On the other side, a beautiful woman complained.

"It's all you. You didn't care if the child ran away. This whole incident has made me worried day by day."

Meng Lin held his forehead and smiled bitterly, looking helpless.

"Madam, don't be anxious. In fact, sometimes letting go is also a kind of tempering. Let him endure more hardships outside, and then he will know the sweetness at home."

"Take hardship? What kind of hardship? When Meng Shuo ran away from home, he took away more than 1000 gold soul coins from me!"

Meng Lin:! ! !

"This bastard, I'll beat him when he comes back!"
