He died in the line of duty during a riot caused by the hordes of spirit beasts.
Dongfang Jing took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing her turbulent emotions, and returned to her room.
After his parents disappeared, he and his sister depended on each other for survival.
Fortunately, the adoptive parents left behind some savings, and the Spirit Hall also provided a pension.
Although life is no longer as warm as it used to be, it's not so bad either.
Reorganize your thoughts.
He composed himself and raised his hand again.
With a slight thought, those few glittering shards of mirror reappeared in his palm.
"Is this what a Martial Soul is?"
He spoke softly.
In my previous life, I was an orphan, and I was so busy just trying to survive that I had no time for anything else.
I have basically no experience with entertainment or games.
I've only heard bits and pieces about "Douluo Continent" from a few people my age.
They used memes like "being haunted by one's own mother," "the way to death," and "resurrect!"
He learned about martial spirits and spirit beasts word by word from the book after he actually transmigrated here.
After carefully examining the martial spirit for a moment, he raised his head and looked towards the corner of the room.
There, a blurry, unidentifiable figure stood silently.
It is not completely transparent, yet it is so subtle that it is almost imperceptible, as if it were part of the air.
If you don't concentrate and observe carefully, it is very easy to miss with the naked eye.
Yes, besides the Shattered Mirror Martial Soul, Dongfang Jing also awakened this phantom at the same time.
Perhaps calling it a "mirror image" would be more appropriate.
Because as long as Dongfang Jing makes any move.
The mirror image will also be synchronized, without any discrepancy.
Chapter 3 Mirror Ability
"Is this image my second martial soul?" Dongfang Jing stared at the illusory figure standing silently by the wall and asked himself in a low voice.
Twin martial souls? It doesn't seem like it.
He retrieved his martial spirit, then summoned it again.
After trying this several times, he discovered that the image would only appear when he summoned the Shattered Mirror Martial Soul.
At this point, he had made his conclusion.
The Mirror Image is not a second Martial Soul, but rather a part of the Shattered Mirror Martial Soul, and can be considered a kind of accompanying ability.
He stared at the reflection pressed against the wall, face to face with himself, like a mirror image.
A thought suddenly flashed through my mind.
He casually picked up a piece of floating shards of mirror, held it in his palm, then turned around and lightly swiped it through the air behind him.
laugh--
A very faint sound, like a sharp object scraping against a wall, came from behind me.
Dongfang Jing suddenly turned around, both surprised and delighted.
He immediately wanted to go to the location where the mirror had just been to see what was going on.
The instant this thought arose, he felt the scene before him suddenly blur, the entire room was being pulled forward at an incredible speed, and an invisible force instantly acted on his entire body.
In the blink of an eye, as his vision refocused, he was shocked to discover...
I am now standing in the original position of the mirror image.
The mirror image that was originally standing by the wall appeared where he had just been standing!
"This is this!"
Dongfang Jing could not hide his astonishment.
His gaze was fixed on the fresh scratch on the wall, his heart pounding with excitement.
He was naturally indifferent and taciturn, especially after his parents disappeared, he buried his emotions deep inside.
In stark contrast to her younger sister, Dongfang Yao, who is outgoing and cheerful.
Ordinary things no longer stir his emotions.
But at this moment, he was already getting restless.
The unpredictable abilities displayed by this martial soul made him eager to immediately acquire a soul ring, quickly increase his strength, and fully explore and master these abilities.
He was originally troubled about which direction this seemingly broken martial spirit should develop.
At this moment, the road ahead seemed to suddenly become clear.
"My mirror image is indestructible, can launch surprise attacks, and can even instantly swap positions with my original body."
He closed his eyes and carefully sensed it.
If you draw a circle with yourself at the center, an invisible domain seems to form within a radius of ten meters.
Within this circle, he can choose the location where the mirror image appears with a mere thought!
After multiple tests, he determined that the maximum distance between the mirror image and the original body is currently about ten meters.
However, he vaguely sensed that this distance was not fixed, but was closely related to his own soul power level.
As my soul power increases in the future, this distance will definitely be able to expand!
However, that alone would not have been enough to make Dongfang Jing lose his composure.
He made an even more astonishing discovery!
The existence of this mirror image is like his extended "third eye" and "third ear".
Dongfang Jing turned to look at the wall, which led to her younger sister's room.
He adjusted his position, focused his mind, and manipulated the mirror image standing in the corner—
The next moment, the mirror image, as if it were invisible, silently merged into the wall and entered Dongfang Yao's room next door.
In an instant, the layout of my sister's room, the little bundle sleeping soundly on the bed, and the sound of her smacking her lips...
These images and sounds were all clearly transmitted into Dongfang Jing's mind.
However, this perception lasted only a few breaths.
A sudden wave of intense dizziness and a stabbing headache struck!
He stumbled and had to stop immediately, quickly retrieving his martial spirit and the mirror image.
Sit cross-legged on the bed.
While resting, he also tried meditation techniques to cultivate his soul power.
Dongfang Jing had already thoroughly mastered this basic meditation method, as well as many other knowledge related to Soul Master cultivation.
His adoptive parents were guards of the Soul Hunter Forest, and could be considered members of the Spirit Hall.
Ultimately, his family was a bit better off than that of ordinary Soul Master families, and they bought him a lot of books, laying a theoretical foundation for him early on.
Dongfang Jing, lost in meditation, was still lost in thought.
'It seems that using mirrors to perceive the environment from a distance is extremely mentally taxing for me, so I must use it with caution.'
So, what kind of spirit beast should I choose for my first spirit ring?
Dongfang Jing read a book when she was very young.
It says on it: "[The limit for the first spirit ring is 423 years, the second spirit ring is 764 years, the third spirit ring is 1760 years, and so on]."
He found it strange at the time; how could these numbers be so precise? Were there really no mistakes?
for example.
Dongfang Jing had overheard his parents casually mention it.
My father was weak when he was young. After awakening his martial soul, he absorbed a 140-year soul ring. The pain was so intense that he felt like his body was about to explode. My mother, on the other hand, absorbed a 230-year soul ring. The process was relatively easy, with only slight discomfort.
Therefore, he made a bold conjecture.
Could it be that the limit of absorbing spirit rings is related to the physical qualities of a spirit master?
After all, people are different and have different talents, so how can we generalize?
Since then, regardless of the weather, he has never stopped his basic physical training.
Then again.
Even though he felt that his body had been trained and was far superior to that of ordinary people his age.
He was even confident enough to try absorbing the so-called limit-age soul ring described in the book, but... he didn't dare to gamble.
Because failure means certain death and the annihilation of one's spiritual essence.
What will happen to Yao'er if I die?
She was only three years old and couldn't even imagine how she could survive alone in this dangerous world.
"But if one only seeks stability and chooses a soul ring that is around four hundred years old, how can one obtain power beyond that of ordinary people?"
My mind was in complete turmoil.
Suddenly, as if sensing something, he broke out of his meditative state and his gaze unconsciously fell on the full-length mirror in the room.
Dongfang Jing frowned slightly, got up and walked to the mirror.
Looking at himself in the mirror, he subconsciously summoned his martial spirit.
As if possessed, he raised his hand and gently touched the cold mirror with his fingertips.
