Chapter 18: First Soul Ring
RAW: https://69shuba.cx/txt/85071/39416129
Lightning Eagle Claw, like Bear Claw, is an arm skill, and both tend to attack with strength, so the soul force generated during collision is very overbearing and full of shock.
Carefully feeling the shock of the impact, Xia Liang was greatly shocked. This was the first time he watched the battle between soul masters and soul beasts up close, and he understood a truth from it.
The battlefield changes rapidly and no one can predict everything.
Therefore, if a soul master wants to be invincible, he must not only have a meticulous mind, but also the ability to adapt.
Thanks to Teacher Mo who reminded me to activate the rib defense in advance, I was able to avoid being accidentally injured by the oncoming concussion force.
Thanks to Teacher Mo's strong ability to respond, he was able to appear in front of him in time to provide protection.
This battle between the soul master and the soul beast shocked Xia Liang, but it was not very exciting to watch.
After all, Teacher Mo is a level 35 Battle Soul Master, and his third soul ring is a thousand-year soul ring.
When he used his third soul skill to strengthen his eagle claws, the terrifying power of thunder and lightning immediately shattered the Nether Ghost Bear's paw.
In the end, it was Teacher Mo who crushed them unilaterally.
The two eagle claws swung frequently, each claw carrying a violent aura of thunder and lightning, making the Nether Ghost Bear completely defenseless.
After enduring several attacks from the Lightning Eagle Claws, the Nether Ghost Bear, no matter how strong its defense was, could only gradually lose consciousness from the paralysis of lightning, and was eventually knocked unconscious by the large amount of electric current that entered its body from its mouth.
Watching the Nether Ghost Bear fall to the ground, completely losing the ability to resist.
Teacher Mo's tension gradually eased. Xia Liang, who was hiding behind a big tree and watching the show, did not relax. As the saying goes, every failure makes you wiser. He dared not say how much his combat awareness had improved after watching this battle, but his survival awareness had definitely improved.
The previous state of ignorance of power has turned into a state of awe.
Xia Liang walked to Teacher Mo with full alertness, took out a sharp dagger from his silver bracelet, and prepared to kill the soul beast and get the soul ring.
"Wait a minute. This is the core area, where there may be thousand-year soul beasts. The noise just now was very loud, and it will definitely attract the attention of thousand-year soul beasts or other soul beast groups. You can't absorb soul rings here."
Teacher Mo looked around with his eagle eyes and suggested, "Let's retreat to the outer area first. The soul beasts there are weaker. Even if you are surrounded and killed by soul beasts when you absorb the soul ring, I am confident that I can keep you safe."
"Okay." Xia Liang put the dagger back into the silver bracelet. He had endured this moment for two years and was not in a hurry.
After a long time.
night.
Soul Hunting Forest, outer area.
After stabbing the dagger into the most vulnerable part of the Nether Ghost Bear's mouth, Xia Liang killed the Nether Ghost Bear with one cut, just like an old chef in a fish restaurant.
It's not that he is cruel, but the Nether Ghost Bear's defense is too strong and its skin and flesh are very hard, so it is impossible to stab it to death with just one knife.
If one wants to absorb the soul ring produced by the soul beast, the soul master must kill it himself.
Therefore, Mr. Mo could only use lightning to paralyze the Nether Ghost Bear's body and consciousness, and could not kill it.
Ten minutes later.
The Netherworld Ghost Bear was cut into pieces and died, leaving the ground covered with bright red blood.
Strands of yellow light slowly rose from the corpse of the Nether Ghost Bear and gathered into an illusory yellow halo.
Staring at the yellow halo floating in the air, Xia Liang felt inexplicably excited. After two years of hard training, he finally had his first soul ring and soul skill in his life.
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, following the method taught by Teacher Mo, Xia Liang quickly guided the yellow halo above the corpse of the Netherworld Ghost Bear into his body.
The warm feeling flowed through his body along with the soul power. He could clearly feel that the rotating yellow halo around him was merging with his body, as if there was a winter stove around him, making his whole body feel numb and comfortable with goose bumps.
About half an hour passed.
Looking at the yellow soul ring spinning quietly on Xia Liang's body, Teacher Mo's heart gradually relaxed.
During the process of absorbing soul rings, if there is no loud noise when the soul ring merges with the body, it means that the soul ring energy has been taken over by the soul master.
Next, just wait for the body and martial soul to absorb all the energy of the soul ring.
After a moment of relaxation, a hint of doubt flashed across Teacher Mo's eyes. How could the first spirit ring be able to absorb energy from a spirit ring with a 500-year limit
? Could it be that the skeleton spirit had enhanced the endurance of the human skeleton and meridians, allowing the body to accept the transformation of the energy from a spirit ring with a higher age limit?
Recalling Xia Liang's explanation, Teacher Mo not only felt envious, but also regretted it because he lost his patience when looking for the soul beast that year and casually absorbed a white ten-year first soul ring.
If I could absorb a first soul ring with a lifespan of five hundred years, no, even a hundred years, then my current achievement would not be just that of a three-ring soul master.
However, what Mr. Mo didn't know was that the reason why Xia Liang was able to absorb a five-hundred-year first soul ring was not because the skeleton martial soul enhanced the endurance of the human bones and meridians. It was all thanks to the nine pieces of ten-year whale glue he had taken for two years.
Whale glue can increase the soul master's absorption of the age of the soul ring. This is a secret that was not known until the peerless Tang Sect period ten thousand years later.
Even if the other party was Teacher Mo who helped hunt soul beasts, Xia Liang could not tell this secret to anyone. After all, trouble comes from the mouth. He should say what he should say, and it is better not to say a word about what he shouldn't say.
"The martial spirit has begun to change."
After Teacher Mo saw that the Nether Ghost Bear's spirit ring began to become obedient, he quickly transformed Xia Liang's skeleton martial soul.
To be precise, after absorbing the soul ring energy of the Nether Ghost Bear, the original energy of the Skeleton Martial Soul increased, causing the appearance of the Martial Soul to change to varying degrees.
This is just like Xia Liang, whose body is undergoing rapid development at the moment. When absorbing soul rings, his martial soul can also grow together.
"No arm bones have grown?"
After watching the entire process of the Skeleton Martial Spirit's appearance changing, Teacher Mo felt regretful.
The dark purple ribs covering Xia Liang's body were just gradually changing towards pure black, but they still looked dark purple at the moment.
The biggest change was that the martial soul aura condensed into a black-purple flame.
Today's Skeleton Martial Soul is still in the form of a rib, but it looks like a huge rib burning with black and purple flames. In addition to being eerie and weird, it also gives people a cold feeling.
Recalling the black and purple will-o'-the-wisp that Xia Liang had once summoned, Teacher Mo suddenly realized that the black and purple flames attached to every rib of the skeleton martial spirit were the same will-o'-the-wisp that had been summoned before.
Suddenly, three faint auras burst out from Xia Liang's body.
Any soul master can see that this is a sign that the soul power level has been improved.
The shackles of the tenth-level soul power bottleneck were broken, which meant that the soul ring was absorbed successfully.
After letting out a long breath, Xia Liang opened his eyes and stood up. After successfully absorbing the first soul ring, his body became much stronger than before, and he grew several inches taller. His physical fitness was obviously better.
"Ah liang. Are you okay?" Teacher Mo asked.
"I'm fine. Teacher Mo, thank you for your concern." After replying, Xia Liang looked at his body in disbelief. He had never felt so refreshed.
The strength of a body transformed by a spirit ring cannot be achieved by eating whale glue or doing physical training.
No wonder the gap in strength is so huge just because he has one more spirit ring than others.
