Chapter 43: Weapon Selection and Development
The evil spirit master did not appear in the following days.
Chen Yu and the others, including Da Niu and Xiao Hu, started hunting again to prepare food for the people in the tribe.
After several days of hunting, Chen Yu's hunting skills became increasingly refined, and he even found a bow specifically to practice his archery skills.
After all, he couldn't possibly fully grasp the Ice Serpent's abilities.
He himself cannot be a weakness.
However, Chen Yu's physical abilities are not weaker than those of other beast spirit masters of the same level because he has strengthened his body by consuming whale glue.
This caused Chen Yu to feel that the bow in his hand was not comfortable.
Just after Chen Yu shot an arrow that hit a century-old snow ox, he stopped shooting.
He didn't want to shoot arrows anymore.
Firstly, his arrows were not very powerful.
The bows and arrows in the tribe are all the most basic kind. If you want a powerful bow, you have to specially forge an iron bow!
However, the soul masters of their Black Rhino tribe are mostly skilled in defense and rarely use bows and arrows in combat.
The bow in Chen Yu's hand was used by a Soul Master in the tribe who had not yet awakened a powerful Martial Soul.
These Soul Masters, even if they are in their twenties or thirties, only have a Soul Power level of twenties or thirties, which is why they use bows and arrows for assistance.
Moreover, this bow and arrow were used for hunting ordinary animals.
Secondly, Chen Yu had decided to pursue the path of a defensive-type battle spirit master.
Using a bow and arrow might be helpful in Ice Serpent's battle, but it feels like something is missing for him personally!
Having some knowledge of Douluo Continent, Chen Yu was quite certain that pursuing archery was almost a dead end.
Or rather, only offensive-type Soul Masters have a future!
Even becoming a Title Douluo is extremely difficult for a support-type Soul Master!
Agility-based Soul Masters have poor physical attributes and cannot level up in the later stages. Moreover, in the Douluo Continent, agility-based Soul Masters are completely inferior to strength-based Soul Masters.
It seems that the idea that speed equals power is a misconception in this world.
While agility-based Soul Masters hold an extremely awkward position, they also have a natural nemesis: control-based Soul Masters.
However, control-type Soul Masters are not very effective either.
Although almost all the protagonists of Douluo Continent were control-type Soul Masters, almost every generation of protagonists later became power-attack type.
As for defensive-type battle spirit masters, they are actually in an awkward position.
It appears to be invincible in terms of defense. Theoretically, as long as the defense is not breached, no one can harm a single hair on a defensive Soul Master's head.
However, defensive-type Soul Masters have relatively slow base speed, and even with strong defensive capabilities, they are easily countered by spatial-type Soul Masters.
A single spatial cut renders the defense instantly ineffective.
Even though Chen Yu had come up with a solution, it was still a drop in the ocean. Using spatial soul skills would consume a lot of energy, while elementalization was the easiest way to ignore spatial soul skills, but he wasn't sure if there were any other soul beasts besides Xue Di who could do it.
If you're looking for Xue Di, then it's entirely up to fate.
If the Snow Empress is willing to communicate with him and it's mutually beneficial, then there's still a possibility. If not, if he goes to the Snow Empress, he'll probably be smashed into ice shards.
Super Douluo are basically all capable of controlling spatial power.
A small spatial cut is a natural counter to defensive Soul Masters who aren't very fast.
Chen Yu either needs to cancel out the opponent's spatial cutting ability, or he can only choose to dodge.
Soul power consumption has always been a problem.
Of course, it's not only the other party that can attack!
Chen Yu can also attack.
Moreover, Chen Yu possesses twin martial souls, ensuring his soul power surpasses that of his enemies.
However, this is still Chen Yu's weakness, and wasting soul power is never a good thing.
If Chen Yu only wanted to be a defensive-type Soul Master, to become a Title Douluo, Super Douluo, or Peerless Douluo.
Therefore, according to his original plan, he was perfectly qualified to become a defensive-type battle spirit master.
But is Chen Yu truly content to remain just an ordinary person?
His goal has always been to become a god.
Therefore, he must determine what his weapon is at this time so that he can use it in the future and develop the foundation of a powerful offensive soul master.
So Chen Yu stopped hunting and let Ice Spirit Serpent and Big Bull and Little Tiger hunt soul beasts together, while he began to think on his own.
Knife, sword, axe, hammer?
Gun, halberd, club, mace?
Fork, whip?
Or perhaps a fist?
Chen Yu's expression grew increasingly strange. In his previous life, as a modern person, he had never come into contact with these weapons.
Although with his current mental strength and the martial spirit of his brain and eyes, he should be able to learn very quickly.
However, he didn't really want to choose any of them.
If he had to choose one, he would prefer a knife, a stick, or his fists, or rather, both hands.
Because knives and sticks are relatively easy to learn, you can easily use great strength to send bricks flying.
Fists or hands offer greater flexibility, allowing you to condense soul energy bullets or create your own soul techniques like the Rasengan.
Of course, you can also have the Dark Gold Terror Claw External Soul Bone from the Douluo Continent Must-Eat List!
The Dark Gold Terrorclaw also has the ability to tear through space, making it quite effective at using space against space.
Chen Yu pondered, unsure of what to choose.
After all, once he makes a decision, he's prepared to work hard to the very end and doesn't want to change course halfway through.
Ultimately, Chen Yu made his decision.
He chose to train his hands, forging them into a weapon.
If a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear external soul bone really exists in the future, that would be a good thing.
If he didn't have the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's external soul bone, he would have to find the Snow Emperor himself.
The Snow Emperor's three ultimate techniques are all about compressing extreme ice into a single point and then unleashing it.
Chen Yu can learn the Ice Ring Armor from the Ice Spirit Serpent, and he may well master the Snow Emperor's Three Wonders in the future.
Emperor Sword Emperor Palm Emperor Hantian!
Compressing power into a single point requires Chen Yu to have extreme control.
Human hands are already the most dexterous organs.
Therefore, Chen Yu's choice is not unreasonable.
Even after choosing to use both hands, he can still learn swordsmanship in the future, and even learn to use other weapons.
If someone chooses a weapon like a stick and then wants to learn swordsmanship later, then he has essentially wasted his time.
So Chen Yu began to develop his hands.
There are only a few ways to develop the abilities of your hands.
The first method involves strengthening the hands and cells by channeling soul power or internal energy along the meridians.
The second method involves using repeated friction to train the toughness and strength of the hands, much like training Iron Palm.
The third method involves strengthening with elemental power. Chen Yu is an ice-attribute soul master. He uses ice compressed to the extreme and condenses it on the surface of his hands, achieving absolute defense while also providing the ultimate attack.
……
Chen Yu touched his chin, feeling that he was more suited to the first and third options.
As for the second type, there's always a feeling that it will make your hands rough.
Unless he develops a strong life force, he will not be able to use the second method to train his hands.
And so, Chen Yu began this training.
Release internal energy from the palm, and release soul power outward; form a vortex of internal energy in the palm, creating a suction force.
Internal energy covers the skin of both fists, forming a protective film, like armor; internal energy penetrates deep into the cellular level, strengthening the cellular activity of the hands and enhancing strength.
These seemingly complicated operations did not seem so difficult in the face of Chen Yu's nearly 800 points of mental strength.
Chen Yu quickly mastered the most basic usage methods.
Although it's not very strong yet, it has at least broken through from zero to one!
