After accepting the mission, Ning Cheng left the blacksmith shop and went to the grocery store to buy some recovery potions.
After all, he was a player with three silver spirit coins, so he didn't need to be stingy.
Blood staunching medicine, five copper spirit coins a bottle, could quickly stop bleeding and heal injuries, Ning Cheng bought ten bottles in one go, plus ten bottles of spirit power medicine, it was basically enough for a period of time.
Afterwards he went to the tailor shop and bought a set of novice cloth armor and novice trousers, spending a total of sixty copper spirit coins.
These two pieces of novice equipment could give him a certain amount of defense. Ordinary players would not dare to be so extravagant. After all, it was very difficult to obtain money in the early stages of the game. Killing several Soul Beasts might not even earn him so much money.
After completing these preparations, Ning Cheng followed the small path out of the Novice Village.
Players could be seen everywhere on the map as they headed north. The low-level activity areas were almost all occupied by players, and they were crowded everywhere.
Wild plains, Thorn Forest, Misty Forest…These places were the sacred places for novice players to level up. There were a large number of low-level soul beasts living there, and very few of them were more than 50 years old.
The age of soul beasts was divided into five grades: Ten-year, hundred-year, thousand-year, ten-thousand-year, and hundred-thousand-year soul beasts.
Among them, soul beasts under a hundred years were ordinary soul beasts, soul beasts between a hundred years and a thousand years were elite soul beasts, and above that were epic-level, legendary-level, and mythical-level hundred thousand-year soul beasts.
Hundred thousand year spirit beasts were basically the ceiling of spirit beasts in《Spirit》. They were extremely rare and were equivalent to the strongest BOSS. Even if one looked across the entire continent, one could not find a few of them.
And the most common ones…were ordinary soul beasts that were less than a hundred years old. These soul beasts could be seen almost everywhere. They were equivalent to wild monsters on the map and were used by players to level up.
Elite soul beasts that were over a hundred years old were relatively rare. They could only be found in specific places. Their soul rings were also the most urgently needed items for novice players. If they wanted to break through to rank 10 and above, they had to absorb a soul ring, and the most suitable age for the first soul ring…was coincidentally a hundred years old.
However, his current level was not high enough, so Ning Cheng did not need to consider the issue of spirit rings for the time being. The most important thing now was to complete the Armament Master assessment.
" System Notification: You have entered a new map, Wilderness Plains."
To reach the northern mine, they had to pass through the wilderness. The wilderness was considered a relatively friendly area. The soul beasts that spawned there would not be more than 30 years old at most. For novice players, this was a very good leveling place.
"Roar!"
Not long after, Peace City also encountered a soul beast blocking their way.
[Name: Two-Headed Magic Wolf]
[Age: 26 years]
[Skills: Bite, Howling Wolf]
[Talent: The Two-headed Demon Wolf is born with extraordinary speed and amazing reaction speed. Its two heads can attack at the same time, making it impossible to guard against.]
……
To an average Level 1 player, this Two-headed Magic Wolf could pose a significant threat.
"Awoo!"
The two-headed demonic wolf roared and rushed over, its sharp claws flashing with a dim light.
Ning Cheng's right hand glowed, and a black iron hammer gradually enlarged in his hand.
Ning Cheng, who had the memories of his previous life, had completely inherited the combat experience and techniques he had accumulated. As one of the top ten demigods of the Dragon Country, his strength was unquestionable. Even though his level had dropped to zero, his actual combat ability was still not something that ordinary players could compare to.
Adding on the fact that the Mixed Iron Stick was the same as the Clear Sky Hammer, both belonging to power attack system tool spirits, their fighting styles were almost the same. Using the previous fighting techniques on the Clear Sky Hammer, there was basically no need to worry about not adapting.
His eyes reflected a brilliant light, and the instant the Two Headed Demon Wolf pounced over, he abruptly turned sideways, easily dodging this attack. At the same time the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand erupted with astonishing momentum, swinging towards the Two Headed Demon Wolf's abdomen with one hand.
Wolf type soul beasts had copper heads, iron bones, and tofu waists. Their waists were their weak spots. A single hammer strike was enough to shatter their internal organs.
"Awoo!"
The Two-headed Demonic Wolf let out a blood-curdling cry and flew backward like a kite with a broken string. The terrifying force broke a few of its ribs. This hammer strike could be said to have injured its tendons and bones. After the Two-headed Demonic Wolf fell to the ground, it struggled a few times. Soon, its head drooped down and it stopped moving.
Immediately after, a white halo flew up from the Two-headed Magic Wolf's corpse and floated in the air.
It was a soul beast's soul ring.
The white Soul Ring was the lowest level Soul Ring. The Soul Ring only existed for ten minutes. Within ten minutes, the player could choose to absorb or refine the Soul Ring.
Absorbing was to turn the soul power contained in the soul ring into one's own soul power value to increase one's cultivation.
As for refining, one had to raise the rank to ten. Every ten ranks could refine a soul ring, and after refining a soul ring, one could comprehend a soul skill.
Ning Cheng was only level 1 now, so he could only choose to absorb this soul ring.
……
Refining a soul ring was more complicated, and the time required was also very long. The slightest carelessness would result in a backlash from the soul ring.
Absorbing a spirit ring was relatively simple. He could directly circulate his spirit power to absorb it. The prerequisite was that the spirit ring produced by the spirit beast he killed could only be absorbed. If it was killed by others, it could not be absorbed.
In just a moment, the Two-headed Magic Wolf's 26 years of cultivation was absorbed into Ning Cheng's body. Unfortunately, it only increased Ning Cheng's soul power by 4 points.
……
[Player: Suppress Everything]
[Level: Level 1 Spirit Warrior (Spirit Power: 34)]
First spirit: Clear Sky Hammer (power attack system), spirit ring: no
[Second Martial Soul: Insufficient Soul Power, awaiting awakening]
[Spirit Bone: None]
Horcrux: None
……
Logically speaking, a Soul Warrior would be able to advance a level for every 10 points of Soul Power.
However, after Ning Cheng awakened his supreme-grade martial soul, his initial soul power had reached three times that of a player of the same level, so he guessed that the soul power value he needed to level up should also be three times that of an ordinary player.
His current Soul Power was 34 points. If he wanted to advance to a Level 2 Soul Warrior, he would need at least 60 points of Soul Power.
From this, one could see how difficult it was for players to level up in the online game " Martial Soul ".
……
Ning Cheng shook his head. A soul beast of this level was no longer a challenge in his eyes. Perhaps only a hundred-year-old soul beast could arouse his desire to attack.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but quicken his pace.
Not long after, he could see a towering mountain in the distance. According to the map, that should be the Northern Mine that Blacksmith Wang had mentioned.
