Volume One

[Ding! Does the host wish to begin choosing a life simulation?] Su Xing sighed and stretched, then slowly raised his right hand. A faint purple light bloomed, and a purple-black sickle hovered in his palm.

The tyrannical energy within the Blood-Devouring Demon Spider soul ring began to yield to him. The process of mutual absorption and conversion between the soul ring and the soul master had begun.

Gradually, a streak of red hair appeared amidst Su Xing's messy black hair.

Su Xing murmured, gripped the sickle tightly in his right hand, and as his yellow soul ring suddenly lit up, he swung it fiercely.

Having obtained the soul ring, Su Xing did not want to linger in the Soul Hunting Forest any longer. It wasn't because the forest was fraught with danger, but mainly because he couldn't wait to go back and bully Tang San.

Su Xing channeled his soul power, slowly retracted the sickle, and said in a low voice.

[Ding! The host has obtained one Life Achievement Point.]

By noon.

"Okay, I understand, thank you, Uncle."

It felt as if he were being sliced by countless sharp blades. Every internal organ in his body was in excruciating pain.

Fortunately, Su Xing's situation was different from an ordinary soul master. He possessed Innate Full Soul Power and Twin Martial Souls, and having obtained an 80,000-year head soul bone, his physical resilience was far superior to that of an average soul master.

As long as Su Xing's willpower remained firm, absorbing a soul ring seven or eight hundred years beyond his limit shouldn't be a major problem.

A red blood blade, a zhang wide, shot out violently from the sickle and slammed heavily into a large tree not far away.

"Hello, Uncle. I am here today to have my soul power level evaluated." Su Xing scratched his head and replied.

After a martial soul obtains a soul ring, its skills undergo a mutation process. The same soul ring will produce absolutely different skills for different martial souls, and vice versa; even if the age and type of the soul ring are identical, the skills will differ significantly.

After returning to Nuoding Academy, Su Xing didn't go straight to class since he had already taken leave from his instructor. Instead, he went to the Martial Soul Hall in Nuoding City to undergo soul master certification.

These fine beads of blood turned into a pale red mist.

As the absorption of the soul ring reached its end, Su Xing's tightly closed eyes suddenly snapped open. A flash of red light flickered in his originally black pupils, giving him an extremely eerie appearance.

Following this, under the steaming pressure of his soul power.

Su Xing was still absorbing the soul ring.

The large tree crashed to the ground. This magnificent red blood blade had cleanly sliced the tree, which was a full three meters in diameter, into two pieces.

A moment later, the dense green leaves on the fallen tree began to wither and turn yellow rapidly.

Amidst the rising pale red mist, the sound of bones cracking could be heard from time to time. Su Xing's body was constantly convulsing, which showed just how intense the pain he was enduring really was.

Now, Su Xing was no longer trembling, his breathing had gradually steadied, and his tightly furrowed brows had relaxed a little. The absorption of the soul ring was gradually entering a smooth state.

It seemed to be constantly tearing at Su Xing's body, keeping him in extreme pain.

The death of the Blood-Devouring Demon Spider filled the vicinity with a thick aura of death, causing other low-level soul beasts to fear approaching, which created an excellent, safe environment for Su Xing to absorb the soul ring.

With the appearance of violent soul power fluctuations within his body, a layer of fine blood beads began to seep out from the surface of Su Xing's skin.

"The power seems quite good, and it seems to carry a certain level of toxicity. I just don't know if this poison is enough to be fatal?"

"After obtaining the soul ring, the sickle martial soul has indeed undergone significant changes compared to before. Next, let me see what the soul ring skill you now possess is."

"Uh... so I finally obtained a Life Achievement Point. I don't need it for now; I'll simulate once I get back." Su Xing pondered for a moment and said.

The guards at the entrance were the same two Su Xing had met when he came to find Su Yuntao a few days ago. Seeing Su Xing, they greeted him with a smile: "Little friend, what are you doing at the Martial Soul Hall again today?"

Compared to that one Gold Soul Coin subsidy, Su Xing was more interested in his current Soul Power Level.

The sky shifted from darkness to brightness.

He had finished absorbing the soul ring and broken through the bottleneck.

"Oh, I see. Then hurry inside. Master Ma Xiunuo, who evaluates soul power levels, seems to be on the first floor. You can go find him directly." Hearing this, the guard looked at Su Xing with envy.

Su Xing finally exited the Soul Hunting Forest. He hired a common carriage at the market on the outskirts of the forest and ordered the driver to head toward the Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy.

Thus, Su Xing traveled toward the exit of the Soul Hunting Forest at a leisurely pace, occasionally testing his newly acquired first soul skill on the soul beasts he encountered along the way. After all, soul skills require practice to master.

Su Xing acknowledged him and walked quickly into the Martial Soul Hall.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining your first soul ring.]

"Bang!"

At this moment, Su Xing only felt his entire body...

Su Xing's first soul skill was called Blood Blade Dance. It was a single-target burst attack skill with impressive power, and it also inherited some of the toxicity of the Blood-Devouring Demon Spider. Although it wasn't a lethal poison, it was enough to render an enemy unable to act.

Nuoding City, Martial Soul Hall.

Looking at Su Xing's feet, a yellow soul ring had quietly risen at some point, circling around his body. This was the distinct mark of a one-ring soul master.

Finally, in the face of Su Xing's powerful willpower.

On the afternoon of the second day, Su Xing finally returned to the Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy. Everything in the academy seemed very quiet, as it was class time for the students.

"After absorbing the Blood-Devouring Demon Spider's soul ring, I feel that every aspect of my body has been improved. Every cell in my body seems to be cheering; my strength, speed, and defense have all increased significantly."

Theoretically, the age of a soul master's first soul ring should not exceed 423 years, but the Blood-Devouring Demon Spider that Su Xing killed had a true cultivation level that had already reached over 700 years, clearly exceeding the limit that an ordinary soul master could absorb for their first soul ring.

The blade of the sickle in Su Xing's hand was noticeably wider than before, and there was a faint red glow on the edge, which was clearly a sign of hidden poison.
